andy mccabe is also a witness. could andy mccabe -- is bob mueller sitting on everything that was in your story today, and is this already of interest, do you think, to the special counsel that rosenstein has a role in all this in terms of creating the cover story that only held up until the president blew his own cover story with lester holt? >> yeah, i have no doubt that bob mueller has a pretty clear picture of the comey firing through the lenses of all of the players, save for the president himself, and that's why the interview with the president is potentially so significant because you can draw inferences from all these people about what might have been in the president's head. but when you're getting to the quell of inat the point, that's why you want to hear from the person himself. we do know that the president gave rod rosenstein his draft firing letter of jim comey, and that mccabe actually got a copy of that draft from rosenstein and gave that draft to bob mueller along with copies of his memos. should

was the same internal watchdog that donald trump pressured into scrutinize that jim comey deputy, andy mccabe, a review that asserted mccabe was less than candid in interviews which was then used to engineer the friday night firing of andy mccabe, the first deputy fbi director ever fired in american history. also a potential witness against trump in the russia probe. that was all the exact outcome trump demanded including taking away his pension as more of a vindictive piece of that. rod rosenstein has talked tough about standing up to this kind of pressure. like you might remember, this much played answer about pressure from congressional republicans. >> there have been people who been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time. and i think they should understand by now that the department of justice is not going to be extorted. any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job. >> not going to affect the way we do our job. which sounds like a good answer, but tonight, we can see rosenstein immediately responding to donald trump's

same question, in michael horowitz. >> he's the one that did tell us what andy mccabe was up to and uncovered page-strzok messages. that's good. comey has been fired. we'll get information about that in this report. andrew mccabe fired. we'll have more answers. we want to know why peter strzok is there. a lot of those things that well get answers to. >> sean: last word. >> trust by verify. that's why the president releases these documents, we can see and decide for ourselves. >> sean: the foundation of the horowitz report, correct? >> that's right. >> sean: we're getting close. gray job all of you. when we come back a report from the white house on north korea. will kim jong-un back out of the meeting with president trump? the deep state development, buckle up. this i.g. report will be very interesting. ♪ i just need some rest. i'm just worried about the house. and taking care of the boys.

in documents obtained through foia reveals andy mccabe spent $70,000 on a piece of office furniture.hey held that back onof grounds of national security. does that imperil us, tom, as a country now that our enemies know that andy mccabe spent $70,000 on a piece of office furniture? >> of course it doesn't. it shows you the fbi and the department of justice can't be trusted to evaluate fairly whether documents should be released or not. and the president, who constitutionally runs the agencies, needs intervene and stop himself from being strung along by his appointees and tell them to release these records. review them quickly. >> tucker: never listen to your lawyers. if there's one piece of advice i have for my children it's don't listen to your lawyers because they don't have the truth at heart.aw >> take their advice into account and get the information out. >> tucker: just do the right thing, i would say. thank you both, very much. greet see you.u. richard goodstein is anar attorney, by the way. we're going to listen to him. he was part of hillary clinton's presidential campaign.

let's dispense of this issue of andy mccabe.him to his wife, with her own political beliefs who ran for office and lost. nice try, but -- [ all speak at once ] >> never said he was in bed with anyone, just to be clear. >> moving on to the next argument, to say that the president is rightfully exercising his authority to oversee the justice department, it doesn't hold water because only in authoritarian regimes does the chief executive get to turn to law enforcement and say, you must conduct an investigation. i've worked in some of those countries and they are not places that you would want to live where national law enforcement has that power and is under the thumb of law enforcement. so you can't simply say the president, as head of the executive, is doing his due diligence, because he's a conflicted party in this. he is the person that's part of the investigation. >> francey? >> erin, there's an allegation that there has been political spying on a presidential campaign. that is what the president is rightfully demanding an ans

why did you target andy mccabe or jim comey? what were your conversations about jeff sessions' recusal? all of those go to the heart of what did -- why did the president do what he did? why did he make the comments he made? why did he put out the tweets that he put out? to me this is really interesting. then a fourth -- >> let me interject. don't lose your fourth point. but let me just ask you there. there's a number of statements here that are phrased what was your opinion, what did you think about, what was your reaction to. you know, what was the purpose of this statement you that made to a reporter at the specific time? if those questions are eventually posed to the president, the way they're structured here, seems to me like they're trying to get at the president's state of mind because the president's state of mind is a necessary component of any obstruction of justice charge. >> precisely. sort of a segue to my fourth point. that is the hard thing to prove in an obstruction of justice case. what did rachel maddow intend t

we learned since they have left office, whether it's comey or number two andy mccabe or any other securityfficials at the time from clapper to brennan to on and on and on, we now know how they view the president. i'm sure they harbored those views while he was campaigning for president. they are the bosses, chief figures. they're the ones offering these very negative opinions of the president now, i can not emergency that would have crept up in investigations? >> well that is exactly what is not supposed to happen. neil: i know, but you got to wonder. guys like you were with a blindfold on but is that possible? >> it is possible. the reality is 35,000 fbi employees, most of whom the vast majority of keep their politics out of it. i spent 21 years in the fbi. i didn't even have a sign in my front yard for a candidate during that time. but there is clearly a couple of people that cross the line. they were in positions of authority. that is where i believe it ends. and that, director wray is doing an excellent job changing shop up there on the 7th floor to make sure we have people that keep t

former number 2 there, andy mccabe still seems to make a lot of news just the same even though he's beenrought up for lying under oath, which could land you in the slammer for a long time if criminal proceedings were to move forward here. now he had a memo detailing the comey firing. why should he get credence on what we know about mr. mccabe, whether you're on the left or right, he's done a lot of lying. >> he has. for an objective source, several objective sources, jeff sessions, rod rosenstein, saying that mccabe lacks candor, that's the legal speak for he's lying. if he lied once, he will lie again. what is fascinating, this particular memo, we have no idea not only what is contained in it but whether or not it was c contemporaneously written. if we're dealing in a court of law, no judge would say this is credible ed. but we're dealing in the court of the public opinion. the jury are the electorate of the mid-terms and eventually the 2020 people that are going to be looking at voting again for president trump. when we're in the court of public opinion, the rules of evidence don't app

why did you -- target andy mccabe or james comey, what was your conversation of jeff sessions's recusal. why did the president do what he did and why did he put out the tweets that he put out. to me, it is really interesting. al fourth kind a fourth kind -- >> let me interject, there is a number of staples here that was phrased. what was your opinion and what did you think about what was your reaction to and what was the purpose of the statement that you made to reporters at the specific time. if those questions are oppospos the question, the way they are structured seems to me like they are trying to get at the president's state of mind because the president's state of mind is necessary a component of any obstruction of justice charge. >> that's the hard thing to prove in an obstruction of justice case. what did rachel maddow intend to do with the actions that she took? so these questions go right to the intent issue. why was the president doing these things? what was his intended effect. proving obstruction requires prove of intent and many of these questions seemed to aim at that. i

justice department's handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation have found a james comey, andy mccabee former number 2 that was ousted, acted improperly but not moving quickly enough on the e-mails that appeared in september of 2016. they didn't look into them, the new clinton e-mails found on anthony wiener's laptop until october 2016. that and other things showed that it's not just the handling of the trump investigation but the handling of the clinton investigation by the doj and the fbi. still under investigation right now. >> sean: deep state is being exposed. mueller's witch hunt is crashing in. fascinating times. joining us, kimberly strassel. she was the first journalist to expose this huge scandal nearly two weeks ago. she joins us as well as fox news contributor jason chaffetz. i love the "wall street journal" and their comments, their editorial, kimberly. i thought it was devastating and the calls on the obama administration what did he know and when did he knew it. and now nunes says there might be a second spy? >> this is very important for people to remember. the departm

picture for a moment you're andy mccabe. your wife got $700,000 from the clinton machine. you're investigating hillary clinton. there are emails out there you will give her a pass, let her go. you haven't even interviewed her next. if an operation like this is underway, wouldn't you want to be covered? absolutely. and someone as experienced at andy mccabe would not move forward in the fbi would not move forward unless there was some assurance from the attorney general -- neil: i saw the godfather and "godfather" ii and iii. a lot of times the big boss didn't know. just saying. doug, always good having you. so much we don't know, this much we do, the uncertainty, collective ickiness about all this, trade deal looks dicey, on top of north korea talks might not happen, on top of target missing estimates here, add it all up and stocks are down. as i emphasize here, this is one day, one moment. if you seized on yesterday as snapshot in time you got it right. we were up and today we're down. right now on the year we're flat. more after this. ♪ if you're approaching 65, now's the

your concern that these are democratic appointees, it's the same inspector general that went after andy mccabended criminal proceedings given the fact that he lied a number of times. so can't that i.g. do that? i'm just trying to limit, no offense to your fine profession, lawyers chewing on each other. >> i think you have a legitimate concern. the problem is the i.g. has a limit himself. he can't make anyone who is outside of the agency testify. a lot of the people involved in this were obama administration officials or people that have left. they know they're in trouble for what they did. he had no power over them. have problem with congress not having the same prosecutorial powers that the justice department did. other hamstrung as well. i think the other problem with the special counsel would be that rod rosen stein can't be trusted to appoint the proper special counsel to investigate rod rosenstein. so i'm not saying it's a perfect dancer but we don't have good answers with the i.g. or congress. >> neil: my hair is hurting right now hearing this. molly, i'm getting a slight legal handle on

handling of the hillary clinton email investigation, has found among other things i james comey and andy mccaber two at the fbi, who was ousted, acted improperly by not moving quickly enough on those emails that appeared in september of 2016. they didn't act on them, look into them, the new clinton email sound on anthony weiner's laptof other things under scrutiny, which show, sean, it is not just the handling of the trump investigation, with the handling of the content and investigation by the a doj and fbi still very much under investigation. >> sean: deep state being exposed, mueller's witch hunt is crashing in, fascinating times. great report. ed henry at the white house. joining us now, "wall street journal"'s fp kimberley strassel. the first journalist to expose the scandal two weeks ago, the fact that the fbi used an informant to spy on the trump campaign. along with fox news contributor jason chaffetz. ii love "the wall street journa" and their comments today, they're editorial, kimberly, i thought it was devastating. also the calls on the obama administration, they are calling on obama

then there is this "new york times" report complicating things, it says former deputy fbi director andy mccabeas so concerned about the motive behind the firing that he took contemporaneous notes and turned that memo over to mueller's team. first time we're learning about that. a lot to unpack. the political side of it first, it doesn't seem like this fbi, you know, report is a bombshell in terms of us knowing that russia was on the president's mind and part of his reason for, if not the whole reason for firing james comey. what is the significance here when you put it all together and look at the president trying to say the exact opposite thing this morning? >> well, it gives us one more piece of information about the process of firing comey and how trump was sort of manipulating that, that process, right? and the fact that mccabe was concerned enough that president trump was pushing the justice department into making this recommendation on the basis of russia rather than some other reason on the merits, that, you know, that speaks to this whole question of obstruction of justice, was his fir

now keep in mind the andy mccabe, himself, was fired by the justice department and attorney jeff sessionsquestion of whether or not mccabe should have earlier recused himself around anything having to do with hillary clinton and then the inspector general of the justice department found he wasn't forth coming in interviews. this is almost a shakespearean level of drama and betrayal and intertwined fortunes that we're seeing play out here. >> yeah. certainly fascinating. the story breaking tonight. katie benner, thank you very much. joining us, cnn legal analyst kerry cordero. if the president asked rosenstein to mention russia in his memo about firing comey, we don't know about what way he was asked to mention russirussia, it problematic? >> it raises a big question. look, one of the big mysteries of the spring of the 2017 is why rod rosenstein wrote the memo that then was used to justify the firing of director comey. this adds a new dimension as to whether or not the president actually informed him that the russia investigation was behind the president's thinking and so then it raises ev

and of course, he also desperate celebrated the dismissal of the deputy director, andy mccabe, two days before his retirement. so there are some people who say that the president can't do this because it might be perceived as obstruction and it would be politically disastrous for him to do it, but there are others say when the time is right, he may pull the trigger. >> jake, is this the squirm and coil for the republicans. would this create a rift among republicans if the president did decide to fire jeff sessions? is this one of those line that he shouldn't cross? >> it would be healing the symptom, but not the cause, perhaps. and if you read between the lines and listen to what paul ryan and mitch mcconnell have said on capitol hill, they've said that they are in touch with the president and they are counseling him on tow f how to handle stregs. and again, we're reading between the lines. i'm not sure if either of them have said this exactly. but they said they are not concerned about the president dismissing anybody involved in this investigation. again, reading between the lines, th

forcing out ultimately andy mccabe. his allies on capitol hill to out some of the sources, chill witnesses, and overall create a circus environment around this investigation which heretofore has been very professionally led, very expeditious, very leak proof, and very workmanlike by bob mueller. but i think there is a larger point here, nicolle, that we have to put on the table, which is that this is a counter intelligence investigation about the activity of an adversary of the united states, the russian federation. that attack by russia just didn't end on election day. it is ongoing. and so when you out human sources who are reporting about russian adversarial activity inside the united states, you are actually emboldening your adversary. you are actually making it much harder to go after the russians. and so the only motivation that i can see of people who would want to undermine this investigation is they want to help the russian federation. that is the only motivation i could understand. >> let me pull you out on th

here are the questions, why are you criticizing jim comey and andy mccabe?hat an appropriate line of questioning for a federal prosecutor who can put you in jail? >> my question is imagine if you, byron and tom were sitting here talking about the fbi giving hillary clinton all the questions they were going to ask before they interviewed her. i have a feeling you would not say that's great. >> tucker: can i just be clear? i defended on the show repeatedly or on this box air, repeatedly hillary clinton's campaign against jim comey because i thought it was unfair to her. i think the abuse of law enforcement power is really scary and i think he abused it. i said so at the time. what world as it were a federal prosecutor asks any politician why are you criticizing a federal official so much? >> it's a world where we have laws. >> tucker: [laughs] are we not allowed to criticize our superiors now? >> a president can't do anything he wants. a president cannot obstruct justice. if they could burn files, fire people, if they just stop things it would never end. >> tu

. >> meanwhile fox news is learning tonight former fbi officials james comey and andy mccabe are about to get hit with a long-awaited justice department inspector general report about the handling of the clinton email pro. the report will slam them from moving too slowly to review those new batches of clinton emails that were discovered near the end of the 2016 campaign on anthony weiner's laptop. the key is that the fbi's handling of both the clinton and trump investigations are still under fire tonight. >> mike: primetime ed henry leading us off the night great to see you. democrats are back in the fbi as they push back on the idea that there was no russia collusion. listen to this. >> the evidence i've seen, there were very good reasons to be concerned about the contacts the trump campaign had. you not to be a lawyer and don't have to be at the access i have. >> everything i've seen it would've been negligent for the fbi not to take steps to protect the country in the midst of information it was receiving. >> mike: for viewpoints from inside the g.o.p. side of the house intelligence

were anti-donald trump i mean people like peter strzok, bruce ohr at the department of justice, andy mccabelost his job because he wasn't frank and then of course fusion gps which kind of worked like a subcontractor hired by the hillary campaign, i can't believe that they would be put in the trump campaign to help donald trump. >> well, again, our government when you're the nominee for president, we help you. we give you secret service protection, we give you cia briefings, and if there was a counterintelligence and concern that russians or anybody else was trying to infiltrate the campaign they should be telling the president that, but they didn't seem to do that, and that's why it becomes highly suspicious and we need more information. david: we need more information that's the bottom line. the wall street journal had an editorial it seems like months ago but a week ago titled the informant who wasn't spying and they were being sarcastic about that because they did think it was a spy in the trump campaign. they said the public deserves to know who tasked the informant to seek out trump ca

you have to ask, are decisions to fire people like andy mccabe, are decisions to reassign people likere they decisions made fully on the merits or does the president putting his pressure on the bureau just tip the scale a little bit in a direction it shouldn't? >> in terms of -- we've been talking a lot tonight about the separation of powers and the independence of the justice department, the freedom of the fbi to pursue investigations including into high-ranking political figures without pressure. talking about rod rosenstein's public comments on those matters this week which i think are important. do you have any sense within the justice department or within the fbi what the feeling is about the treatment of people like baker and page and mccabe and comey, these people who have both been -- both been pushed out or sort of led to resign by being reassigned and taken away from the work they were doing before or overtly fired while at the same time the president's really been mounting an attack. how does that play within doj, within the fbi? >> it's a little bit of a mixed bag because

we know that it found that andy mccabe lied but the question the american people will have, are theypeople have gone to jail for that very felony. maria: we would like accountability for abuse of power. >> justice. maria: guys, thanks so much. great show, here is varney & company and stuart. stuart: thanks, maria, he's a visionary, he's a billionaire, he's the tesla king, he just went right off the rails. good morning, everyone. you don't see this very often, the top guy at a big tech company making bizarre statement that is sink his stock. well, that's what elon musk did last night. after reporting a loss of $785 million in three months, he dismissed analysts questions about money. he cut them off, next, he said. how many have taken delivery of model 3 cars, that's what he was asked, another dismissal, boring. he said -- that's what he said. then he took a shot at investors, sell the stock if y

neutral judge to look at this and say you're not going to redact this because it makes jim comey or andy mccabeir the investigation or expose a source, expose a person to danger. >> maria: the president tweeted about it this morning. he said the 13 angry democrats in charge of the russian witch hunt are starting to find out there is a court system in place that actually protects people from injustice and just wait until the courts get to see your unrevealed conflicts of interest. >> i think he's probably talking about the argument in court last week before judge ellis who questioned the nature and extent of mueller's ability to prosecute. >> maria: exactly. >> i think that's a hypothetical argument because if mueller can't prosecute, the federal prosecutors in the eastern district of virginia will prosecute. there's plenty of evidence of bank fraud. the only question is who gets to prosecute it. >> that gets to the scope issue. it should move to that court if it's not related to the original scope of the issue. >> just as the investigation of michael cohen moved to the southern district of new

there was an andrew mccabe memo saying he on the president's mind about the comey firing. >> that's right. i'm not sure we need andy'sl us that because the president told us that. he couldn't have been more clear with your colleague lester holt that when he fired comey, he was thinking about the russia thing. i'm not surprised that andy would have memorialized these conversations. they routinely do that when something odd or important comes across their radar. there's probably lots of other people who know that russia was on the president's mind when he fired jim comey. i'm sure bob mueller has talked to every one of them. >> you see the president at war with jeff sessions. he's been dialing that up. he tweets that the recusal of jeff sessions was an unforced betrayal of the president of the united states. the way this president is not only not separating himself from ongoing justice department investigations that are targeting his own campaign but the way he's speaking about the intelligence community and attorney general. this is really unprecedented. >> it is. what i worry about is the long term damage to our inst

that the fbi, the former fbi acting director andrew mccabe has a big problem ahead of him for leaking. and so now we see another leak. and leaking andy be facing prosecution, because horwitz, the -- >> martha: that is why he is fired, for two different instances of leaking things that he should not have leaks from the fbi prayed to the inspector general turned that information over to christopher wray, and he said, you are gone. >> also to the united states attorney for prosecution. the president, we all believe that the men and women of the fbi do an unbelievable job, an admirable job every day. but there were some rotten apples, weather was james comey, andrew mccabe, strauch, page, you name it. a bunch of folks in there that need to answer for their actions. i think that andrew mccabe in what he is doing, you have to think about his mind-set, he understands his wife got $700,000 from terry mcauliffe and the president is pointing that out. he is under a lot of scrutiny at that time. he is writing a cya memo that now mysteriously has leaked out to the fake news divisions of "the new york times." >> martha: want to talk to you about
