i talked with you, chuck rosenberg and andy mccabe.ut the more bipartisan agreed to problem of what happened was the russian interference. should democrats have led with that, led with the crime, led with what everybody, whether there is some consensus, and then they could have maybe depoliticized part one a little bit. >> well, perhaps. one answer to that, chuck, is that often when you tell a story you tell it chronologically. so, what happened first. >> he told the story backwards today. >> russian interference happened first. so what were you interfering? you were interfering with russian interference -- or obstructing. so, yeah, logically you tell it in the order in which it happened. and i think that can be a little bit confusing and a little bit unsettling if you're new to this thing. >> andy, if you're making a case and you're trying to tell a story, that's what i keep not -- because we were told by many house democrats they're trying to bring the mueller report to life. okay. mueller made part i the crime. he made part ii obstr

. >> andy mccabe i just want to steak with you for one more second because we had spoken to you earlier in the week and you had been involved in helping in the past to prepare robert mueller for some of the these briefings and you talked about the impeccable preparation that he went through and, you know, reams of briefing books, et cetera. and look, his performance has been so dissected over the past 16 hours i don't want to engage in too much of it because only because you've been there, before and after, just want to know what you saw in terms of h his preparation. >> i don't doubt he went through that same sort of preparation this time. but you have to remember this was a very different appearance than anyone, certainly i've ever been involved helping director mueller get ready for. i'm quite sure this is the first time he's testified after having already provided a 400-page statement, essentially, to the world. so it's pretty clear to me that he did not want to take any chance of anyone from either side mischaracterizing or summarizing his report and his prior statement in any way

. >> sean: andy mccabe and peter knew better and they need to be held accountable. >> certainly jamesve known about all of this, and i think in the days to come, we'll find out. >> he signed the first warrant. they all told him it's b.s. >> he always claims amnesia and ignorance. he would say, i signed it, but i would didn't really read it. i was trusting other people. that's his classic response. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, we'll sit in the streets of new york to ask about all casio ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, the squad as they are known. that's next. ♪ [ soft piano music playing ] mm, uh, what do you do for fun? -not this. ♪ -oh, what am i into? mostly progressive's name your price tool. helps people find coverage options based on their budget. flo has it, i want it, it's a whole thing, and she's right there. -yeah, she's my ride. this date's lame. he has pics of you on his phone. -they're very tasteful. he has pics of you on his phone. at visionworks, we guaranteand look great.eat "guarantee". we say that too. you gotta use "these" because we don't mean it. if you do

andy mccabe reported to him. what was comey's role in that? >> sean: is not inevitable.t is not a matter of if, but when, we'll know when this extreme steps, the power of abuse, these high-ranking bureaucrats, what they did to malign candidate then president-elect and now president donald trump. the president rightly granted attorney general barr the power to declassify material related to this ongoing investigation into the origins of this russia witch hunt.he four separate occasions, the fbi nine months investigations, the house intel committee investigation, bipartisanilt' senate committee, and now the mueller report. no collusion. american people, you will see the truth with your own eyes. and it's not looking good for these few at the top that abuse their power. by the way, it's not if, it's when, we are going to see it. they question will be who needs to be held accountable. you don't have to take my word for it. the swamp is in full panic mode. today, america's most holier-than-thou super patriots jim comey knows better than anybody issues yet another op-ed callin

after comey got fired, andy mccabe and try to prosecute him. the intelligence leaders at the justice department. they must be destroy disciplined denounced from the all out the dogs on him. all of these people with all of these decades of leadership experience, the specific leaders who were trying to understand and assess the attack by russia and thwart it on behalf of the united states, the subject matter experts in a best place to recognize what's happening, trying to elect trump. these are the people who have paid the price for it in the 2.5 years since. that includes james baker who was the top legal official at the fbi. the president attacked him by name repeatedly for his role in this terrible witch hunt in the russia hoax. fox news and other conservative media repeatedly accused him of being a traitor for the crime of serving in fbi leadership when russia helped trump win and the fbi decided they needed to look into that. james baker stayed on at the fbi for the first year of the trump presidency. he left the fbi a year after james comey

>> andy mccabe and peter strzok knew better and need to be held accountable. >> sean: what about jamesuld have known about all of this. you know i think in the days to come we'll find out. >> sean: he signed the first warrant, warned by bruce ore, all of them told him it's b.s. >> he claims amnesia and ignorance, i guarantee, well, yeah, i signed it but i didn't really read it and i was trusting other people. comey's classic response. >> sean: thank you both. when we come back, lawrence jones hit the epgs stroo streets of new york to ask about ocasio-cortez, congresswoman omar, the squad. ocasio-cortez, ilhan omar, the squad as they are k doug, doug! douglas! we're running dangerously low on beans. people love your beans, doug. they love 'em. doooooooooug! you want to go sell some tacos? progressive knows small business makes big demands. doug, where do we get a replacement chili pepper bulb? so we'll design the insurance solution that fits your business. it's a very niche bulb. it's a specialty bulb. >> sean: they hit the streets of new york city to ask people what they think of the,

if he could find some way to put andy mccabe on the island, you'll see that. you'll see the president try to redirect. there are a couple of factors at hand here. one is that there was this whole parallel issue with acosta that some in the trump administration had. there were republican lobbyists, some inside the white house who felt that he hadn't been as aggressive as he could be about deregulation, about changing the climate in his role as labor secretary. that was underlying and existed before the epstein problems bubbled up. in a way, i think you don't do a news conference like the one acosta did unless you have to. and it was kind of a let me see if i can turn it around hail mary kind of thing. if it couldn't work, i think he wanted to have some control over framing his explanation before he went out. as we have all seen, when the tide turns, if there are enough republican lawmakers in the senate, for example, who are like he's got to go, you don't always get to have the last word. that was him trying to put into context if he had to go or if he could st

investigating crooked hillary clinton, lyi & leakin' james comey, lisa page and her psycho lover, peter -- andy mccabeautiful g ohr family, fusion, and many more, including himself & andrew w?" "so why didn't the hhly conflicted robert mueller investigate how and why crooked hillary clinton deleted and acid washed 33,000 emails immediately after getting a subpoena from the united states congress she must have great lawyers! >> "no collusion, no obstruction! u.s. history, by far!" hunt in >> seth: dear god, his tweets would make more sense if they pe were scribbled on paand faxed to a newspaper under the zodiac symbol.ht [ laug ] but at the very least, today's hearings might have been informative, both for trump and for members of congress who've admitted they didn't read the whole report more than a dozen members of congress readily admitted to politico that they too have ar skipped nd rather than studying every one of the special counsel report's 448 pages. that might explain why some democrats have spent the last few months trying to educate their republican colleagues by reading sections of the rep

comey wasas fired, andy mccabe lied three times under oath, fired, jim baker was demoted, under investigation by the justice department, lisa page, demoted and left in peter strzok, the lead agent on both of these cases, the hillary case and the trump-russia case, peter strzok demoted and fired. those are the five key people, that is what the investigation should focus, as well as these origins, that is what bill barr and john durham are looking into. >> if there was any bombshell today, it was a consequence of devin nunes' questioning that exposed for this investigation did not begin when robert mueller said it began. there were earlier, even more corrupt origins than the folks that i think are sleeping too well tonight, john brennan and clapper, peopless associated wih the obama administration who were stirring this out. comey and mccabe, frankly, her lower hanging fruit because it is so obvious, their leaks and lies. but they conspiracy their devin outlined goes back to brennan and clapper. >> sean: i want everyone to know, i'm half kidding and have not kidding. i will add mark meadows, wh

, in fact the original russian counterintelligence case that started this whole thing off, that andy mccabe added trump's name to and then it became the special counsel inquiry, that aspect of it may still be going on. >> let's watch the tape. we will come right back to you, frank. >> it was outside the purview of your investigation, your report did not address how flynn's false statements could pose a national security risk because the russians knew the falsity of those statements, right? >> i cannot get into that mainly because there are many elements of the fbi that are looking at different aspects of that issue. >> currently? >> currently. >> thank you. >> frank figliuzzi, what i heard was, quote, there are many aspects of the fbi that are looking at that. currently? currently. >> we need clarification. the context seemed to be flynn but just before that the questioning related much larger, much more broadly to the whole issue of compromised vulnerability of people around the president and trump himself. you have to examine that. and there are questions now that i think will go right to

andy mccabe is a major sleaze bag.nts of money from crooked hillary reps while hillary was under investigation by the fbi. your thoughts. >> yeah. well, the president's right, he is a major sleaze bag, and i'll tell you why, i mean, we can prove it. there are things we now know. he's already said in interviews, i believe one with npr -- one i listened to painfully, by the way -- after jim comey, he was the one out there pushing for this obstruction of justice information which -- investigat, which is ridiculous. that's not what the fbi does. but here's the catch, todd. what does he do? he turns around days later up on capitol hill when forced to put his right hand up and swear to tell the truth and tells senator marco rubio that there was no effort to obstruct this investigation. so let me get this straight. behind closed doors you abuse your power to investigate the president because your buddy who was awful was fired, but when you're forced to go on the record you tell the exact opposite story? that's the very defini

that is we have transparency and accountability on you know what jim comey fbi was doing he and andy mccabethere was illegal leaking, and illegal lying to congress, leaking confidential data do you think there is going to be prosecutions will we see accountability here? >> i do preponderance you have not some issues especially leak cases you can get to universe of those that had access to the information but sometimes very difficult to get to the fundamental as exact individual at the same time i think that bill barr is going to look very carefully, at some policies at doleak investigations can be more streamlined easily brought to conclusion you don't have to find needle in a hay shaq. >>,the rio grande area of the southern border said i am told the sector of southern border cracked apprehensions house democrats left town ignored calls to stay in town do what we said end border crisis now here is what homeland secretary kev secretary. >> told me. >> we do remain in the midst of a significant humanitarian border security crises that is stepped up address security on southern borrowered betw

andy mccabe gets credibility about what he said or what he remembered and i would not give any mccabeo i think it just does not by mueller do not do what he should have done under relations. brian: you walk in there, replaced jeff sessions, what did you walk into? how much did this russian probe way on donald trump's first two years? >> it was the cloud that hung over but at the same time i saw a president date today that was missing his agenda and able to with all the noise and what ended up being false allegations. if you remember all these people all these experts on tv what they were saying and now you have a sport it's good for the president to get this behind them and continue to commerce the agenda. if you look at the economy, how well it is doing the president has presided over that but a place a structure - the economy will continue to chug along for years to come and all the things he's published with the crisis on our border the president - we've done everything we possibly could to come up with other ways to fix this and fix the problem and the president was able to, even
