liz: that's right. >> and peter strzok and bruce ohr and now works for mr. mueller who sent out a memo saying that sally yates was right to oppose president trump. i mean people were beside themselves over the idea trump was going to be president and the question now is whether that dossier was in no small part disinformation that was planted by the russian fsb and they just simply played our side of the game and that now led to the point where i think the fbi is extremely embarrassed about what has gone on here. the question is how do you discipline them for doing these sorts of things. liz: we're finding out more about the testimony of glenn simpson, he's one of the co- heads of fusion gps. that's the outfit behind that so-called anti-trump file. glenn simpson disclosed for the first time in testimony that he did meet just after the electn wi justice department oicial bruce ohr as dan henniger pointed out he was demoted from his position as deputy assistant general last month after his meeting with glenn simpson was disclosed and he also testified that bru

>> any american that would see this document would feel as though people like rod rosenstein and bruce ohr need to be fired immediately. >> martha: and remember agent peter strzok who said he wanted insurance against a possible trump presidency. also, more dossier revelations this evening. we are continuing to comb through the testimony that has just been released of glenn simps simpson on the house side of the intel committee they have just put this out did. he use the dossier to influence the media against then candidate trump? he says he did. did the fbi use the dossier to get fisa warrants? another big question. chief national correspondent ed henry very busy tonight absorbing all of this from the white house with the late-breaking details on this transcript. hi, ed. >> martha, great to see you. top white house officials here are watching this release of information very closely, because it moves the house intelligence committee a big step closer to getting the public a look at this four-page memo that those republican congressman were talking about that might give us evidence for the

bruce ohr met with fusion gps. know, those officials that came up put phony russian propaganda dossier that we now know his own wife was working on the opposition against donald trump that produced and bought and paid for that fake news russia propaganda. sounds like collusion to me. and finally, of course, the deputy fbi director andrew mccabe, his wife, jill took over half a million dollars from clinton ally former governor terry mcauliff and democrats for a failed virginia state senate seat. that's an insane amount of money. mccabe is also directly tied like so many others tout dossier. and during her recent testimony on capitol hill mccabe conflicted statements from previous witnesses and also claimed not to know when he found out the clintons and the dnc funded the dossier. and, according to reports mccabe is expected to retire next year with a big fat taxpayer pension. does any of this matter to you in the liberal mainstream media or do you just like to fail and be wrong every day? you know, are you supportin

if you look at some stuff taking place the bruce ohr, the number four guy at d.o.j.e was hired by fusion gps to investigate donald trump. he didn't mention it to anybody even though he met with christopher steele and glenn simpson. the only silver lining in this entire mueller investigation has shown us where the real investigation needs to happen under a highly political and corrupt d.o.j. and f.b.i. under the obama administration. >> jesse: scott, you have the last word. 30 seconds. >> under the trump administration you don't think d.o.j. is corrupt? let me get this right. you want jeff sessions to investigate hillary clinton and other issues regarding hillary clinton, the same d.o.j. or attorney general who at trump rallies chanted lock her up, lock her up. lock her up. now i'm glad we're in the political space talking about this. that dog won't hunt in the legal space and it is not going to happen. they have been cleared. hillary clinton and her huffs have been investigated over 300 times. with new evidence. hillary clinton and her husband have been investigated

rod rosenstein and bruce ohr should be fired. you have your sources.hat have you learned and illegally of our army? >> a lot of people are in legal their jobs, crimes that may have been committed, even people like james comey who has already been fired could still be impeached. what is the purpose of that? prevent him from ever holding any government position. >> sean: doesn't he have other legal issues? >> he does. he's looking at theft of government documents and potentially leaking and conveying to himself classified information, as well as obstruction of justice, and for political reasons, and it appears that this is the case. the fbi and comey and others cleared hillary clinton -- >> sean: why wouldn't that be obstruction of justice? >> it's exactly obstruction of justice. >> sean: they also did it to let her stay in the race and they do have this whole other group of people that want an insurance. policy in case he wins. then you have the surveillance of an opposition party candidate and the president-elect. compare it to watergate. >> is a horri

bruce ohr? rob rubenstein? who is in the special secret society? are they supposed to be transparent. watch this. >> we learned today about information that after an immediate aftermath of the elections, there may have been a secret society of folks within the department of justice and fbi to include page and strzok that would be working against them. and i i to actually happen, but folk speak in those terms, they need to come forward to explain the contacts in which they spoke those terms. >> sean: they said there's no concrete evidence yet that the secret society ever met. here's what we do know. strzok and page and who we think is a deputy fbi director andrew mccabe were meeting about the insurance policy, just in case hillary lossy election. all of the other evidence points to one simple fact. top ranking obama administration officials and the department of justice, fbi, not rank-and-file. the top people. they protected hillary clinton from prosecution. then they use that phony russian dossier that hillary bought paid four full of russian salac

among this group is the senior justice department official bruce ohr.ce ohr's important because we confirmed today that he has been stripped of a second title after he had these undisclosed meetings with fusion gps, the firm behind the dossier as well as christopher steele, the british spy who compiled research. td bank complied with a house subpoena and provided the financials to the house committee and this specifically is 70 transactions that covered clients, journalists, media organizations as well as researchers on the russia project. and the house committee final point, forth point, got access to fbi interviews on friday which included interviews with confidential sources or informants. we're led to believe that was also christopher steele. so they really took home a lot of information at the end of last week, david. david: catherine, we have only 30 seconds, looking at bank statements you can see who they wrote checks to and who they received money from. what is more important in your eyes in terms of what the investigators are looking for? >> wh

bruce ohr meets with members of fusion gps before and after the 2016 election and his wife, nellie ohrorked for the firm that hillary clinton and the dnc paid to produce the fake, phony propaganda russian-trump dossier. finally the fbi director andrew mccabe and his wife jill get 700 grand from a long time clinton ally. former virginia governor terry mccullough, democrats. all that money given for a failed virginia state senate run. that is an astronomical sum in a senate race in virginia. these are all individually massive stories. not even mentioning uranium one. let's see, bribery, extortion, money laundering, kickbacks. and they knew it before cfius, before nine separate agencies approved of giving 20% of our uranium, knowing thated vladimir putin's thugs were in america trying to get a foothold into the uranium industry in our country? we don't have enough, we need more. it's insane. you look at the money behind that.ey you have mountains of evidence here of wrongdoing. the media is not touching any of it. why? because the media is infatuated. they cannot control themselves anymor

rod rosenstein and bruce ohr should be fired matt gaetz. you have your sources.t have you learned and legally where are we here. >> a lot of people are in legal jeopardy right now for their jobs, for crimes that may have been committed. even people like james comey who has already been fired could still be impeached. what's the purpose of that? it would prevent him from ever holding any government position. >> sean: don't we know he has other issues, legal issues already? >> he already does. looking at theft of government documents and potentially leaking and conveying to himself classified information as well as obstruction of justice if for political reasons and it appears that this is the case, the fbi and comey and others cleared hillary clinton. notwithstanding -- >> sean: why wouldn't that be on destruction of justice. >> it is obstruction of justice. it's exactly obstruction of justice. >> sean: they also did it to let her stay in the race. >> right. >> sean: you have this whole other group of people that want an insurance policy in case he wins. >> right.

key players, strzok, page, bruce ohr, need to be fired and investigated.oretta lynch, needs to be investigated. i'm not talking about rank-and-file members of the fbi, i'm talking specifically about abuses committed by their very top officials in the deep state and the fbi and the department of justice and of robertob mueller, if you are watching tonight, and i'm sure you are and i am sure your corrupt team of obama hillary clinton deep state which hunters are watching, this witch hunt needs to be shut dow down. since you've clearly stacked the deck against, and started out with a biased investigation against president trump. finally tonight, the government shuts down, it's over, the president signed a temporary bill and i told you it was no big deal. all the panic was a waste of your time. now we've got a lot to get to you. joining us now is investigative reporter and fox news contributor, we have sara carter. also, gregg jarrett, fox news legal analyst and congressman matt gates. you have a quote today in your article. tell everybody. it's amazing. art >

i want to know more about the role of bruce ohr whose wife worked for fusion gps and i want to know more about the relationship between the fbi and crist o fear steel. the answer to those all questions i think will better inform was this an example of the government really working with one campaign against another, if so that's obviously very very problematic. trish: yes indeed and i suppose mission accomplished as far as russia goes, because if they were feeding disinformation to us via christopher steel, then they've succeeded in creating this kind of chaos and lack of trust in the very thing that makes us the great country we are. george papadopoulos let me ask you about this he's being focused on one of the reasons why the fbi may have gotten involved in this so that's a twist and turn in the narrative in first we were hearing it was maybe because of the dossier and now it's because well george papadopoulos was effectively saying there were connections with the russians that would perhaps reveal hillary clinton's e-mails during that campaign and that is what may have prompted them. w

his wife, bruce ohr's wife nelly is working at a company, fusion gps.mployees. yet there are millions of dollars that are going. where does the money go? overseas to try to get information about donald trump and it is just absolutely smells and looks so bad. that's why the inspector general is pounding on this. they will have a report that should be out in the march time frame and then you have the house intelligence committee looking at it as well. >> sandra: we don't know what happened with bruce ohr, if he resigned or was actually removed from the position. this is the second time we've seen this d.o.j. official tied to the anti-trump dossier demoted. >> i think it's pretty clear at this point his wife did work at the company where they were actually doing an investigation. she is a fact witness. that's the spouse of a senior f.b.i. official who is working with peter strzok. you put this in a movie, sandra, nobody is going to believe it. this is evidently what was going on at the f.b.i. at the same time you had director comey testifying that the f.b.

we don't have all the information about bruce ohr and the fbi still would not answer questions and thece department won't about how they used the dossier, did they use it to get surveillance on trump associates. maria: that's the thing. what are you going to do about it? your committee is asking for information from the fbi and they're stone-walling you, what are you going to do? >> devin nunes sent a tough letter to deputy ag over the holidays and said january 3rd is the deadline, comply or else we will move forward. i think we will move forward with some type of contempt in congress. the american people deserve answers on this but a larger test of congress. maria: right. >> you need to have effective oversight and for so long it's been if he canless. give it to us. it's not the way it works, these are critical issues and they need to be given to the congress. maria: all right, we will watch that, the deadline is tomorrow. we will see if there's a contempt of congress ruling and an investigation to follow. congressman, good to see you, sir, we will be watching. thank you so much, cong

lou: in our online poll we asked you do you think that bruce ohr should be fired outright?onded yes. fake news and the media is going crazy over oprah's potential presidential bid. president trump isn't the least bit concerned. president trump: i like oprah. but i don't think she's going to run. lou: already people are beginning to sort through her past and ignoring her controversial past in some of her past comments like this in a 2013 interview with bbc. she said as long as people can be junked by the color of their skin, problems not solved. there are generations of people who were born and bred and marinated in prejudice and racism and they just have to die. joining me, charlie hurt. great to see you. what do you make of the oprah candidacy? it looks like it might be a problem? >> it smells a little bit like desperation. she is probably more of a formidable candidate than some of the other candidates being floated like pocahontas. but be careful what you wish for democrats. she is someone i don't think has been through the political backlash. and honestly when you look

steve: bruce ohr. brian: i was going to say bobby ohr. steve: that's because there was so much ice.both these people had all their teeth unlike bobby ohr who had a couple. ainsley: they interviewed them now they are going to release that information. brian: it's going to be fascinating to see how this thing went down. ainsley: they are also going to release all those text messages between lisa page and peter strzok. steve: of all the people they are going to be talking to, the fbi people and unredacted witness testimony as well, they are looking at all these people regarding the dossier because it looks like a they are at the fbi yet they have a political bias which you cannot have that the fbi is not used to this kind of scrutiny of the people who work up on the seventh floor but, you know, now devon nunes as of next week is going to have all the stuff he has needed to look to see whether or not there was political bias going on in the decision whether or not to essentially for this government to spy on the trumps. brian: keep your eye on this. a federal judge has said fusion gps h

not too thrilled with bruce ohr and his wife either.f you are in an organization running well and four or five bad apples do bad things, it shouldn't reflect on us. >> dana: we know that well. definitely true. >> jesse: dana made the point that strzok, when he was invited to join the mueller team, said he didn't see a lot of "there" there with the collusion case and he was reticent to join. >> dana: it's not going to help his career. why would i want to go do that? >> jesse: a subsequent text, he said said something about wanting to take care of unfinished business based off the result of the hillary clinton campaign. a subsequent text mentioned impeachment. you don't have the context for there is another reason for them to join the mueller team. do you think the mueller team at this point is compromised? >> kimberly: i think there is certainly an air of impropriety in terms of what it relates to. we don't know all the evidence yet. i think questions need to be asked and answered. and i think attorney general jeff sessions is also aware

we'll get the truth about the dossier, bruce ohr and peter strzok. everything that has come out so far does not look good about the facts of that investigation. it lends credence to the president saying this is a joke and we need to move on. kennedy: unfortunately for him web's in a very difficult position. but if he wants to see this thing wrapped up, i think sitting for that interview is the only way to do it. the president claims the new book about him is full of lies. but is there any truth to the allegations made in that book? i will put it to the panel about fire and furey next. coaching means making tough choices. jim! you're in! but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. coricidin hbp is the #1 brand that gives powerful cold symptom relief without raising your blood pressure. coricidin hbp. with expedia, you can book a flight, then add a hotel, and save. ♪ everything you need to go. expedia ok, so with the award-winning our customers have 24/7 access, digital id cards, they can even pay

discredited fusion gps dossier they will have access to all records and witnesses including peter strzok , bruce ohrlisa page all set to testify before the committee this month, and this, this news just breaking. a federal judge has ruled that the house intelligence committee is entitled to fusion gps bank records linked to the funding of the dossier and to considerable mischief as it appears in the so-called collusion scandal. our first guest tonight revealing shocking new details concerning hillary clinton's e-mail system that illicit system identifying at least 18 classified e-mails found on anthony weiner's laptop. weiner of course once married to clinton aid huma abiden. joining us is chris farrell director of investigations and research for judicial watch the organization which successfully file a freedom of information act request to release these very documents. chris first of all congratulations on getting these documents and all of the work that judicial watch is doing. now, when we talk about classified, these are not up classified documents. these are in fact classified at the time they

simpson also met with former top doj official, remember, bruce ohr.is wife actually work for fusion gps. i know this is a lot of information. let me explain what this means. clinton bought and paid for those phony dossier. this lie, this propaganda. she was hoping there russian propaganda and lies would influence the general election. the obama administration then politicized, and as i have been warning about, weaponize to these powerful tools that we give our intelligence community and they use them to go after an opposition party and a presidential election year. so we have clinton putting the fix in. bernie sanders, we learned, donna brazile, the fix was in and the primary. it was a done deal. bernie had no shot. the fix was also -- think about this -- with the exoneration before the investigation in her email server scandal. remember, it was comey in peter strzok writing the letter of exoneration before they investigated. she was trying to use the dossier to fix the general election. what is being exposed are massive abuses of our constitutional a

when did they know bruce ohr's wife was working for fusion helping to put the dossier together?hese are important questions. why did jim baker the general counsel at the f.b.i., why was he reassigned two weeks ago? important questions we need answers to so this is why we need the documents and step up and why there is a growing chorus of members saying it's time for a second special counsel. >> jon: mueller released strzok from his team after the revelation they existed well before he pointed them out or before congress became aware of them. why do you think he did that? why do you think mueller did that? >> they were so bad. you talk about an insurance policy and i'm afraid we can't take the risk the american people will vote and make donald trump president. that's the nature of the text messages. why did lisa page leave the mueller team two weeks before strzok? two weeks before the f.b.i. before mueller was notified about these text messages with the insurance policy language and everything else in them? why did she leave two weeks after that? i would like to know why she left

bruce ohr is no longer head of the organized crime drug enforcement task force. he was stripped of his role as deputy in december. it's unclear where ohr has landed though he is still a justice department ploy. ohr's wife is a russia specialist who did research for the term product which was funded by the dnc and clinton campaign. division had for organized crime, ohr was also directly involved with an interagency investigation that tracked a drug and money-laundering scheme to iran. critics say the investigation and potential prosecutions were derailed by the obama administration, fearing it would upset iran leading up to the 2015 nuclear deal. ohr is scheduled to testify to the house diligent committee behind closed doors january 17. >> bret: the house committee is learning more about fusion gps's financials. who got paid for the russian work. >> fox news has told td bank complied with the house subpoena within hours of the course decision, making any appeal moot. in issue are 70 transactions that cover clients, media companies, journalist, researchers over to

touch with the fbi, and he implied they were not in touch with the justice department when in fact bruce ohr, you mentioned who is the number three-man at the justice department, his wife was working for fusion gps. so it is unlikely they didn't have some contact with the justice department but more than that, senator grassley said the following about whether or not this man, glenn simpson is cheap clearing the air. mr. simpson and his attorney demanded during the interview that the transcript be kept confidential. mr. simpson refused to answer dozens of questions voluntarily and refused to provide the committee with documents and responses to the follow-up questions after interview. senator grassley, who is a, not a bomb thrower, this is nonsense they want to clear the air, they are the ones that demanded interview be closed. >> they can say whatever they want to whoever they want at whatever sometime they want. they chose to engage in the forum in the senate in the confidential setting. i think we all ought to know the answers to these questions. one thing to demand answers from foreign na

under oath, comey, strzok, page, baker, mccabe and senior justice department officials, sally yet, bruce ohr and others. all of these people need to be in front of a federal grand jury. we have long since passed the time when we need just congressional investigations for this. make no mistake about it. a group of people were trying to frame donald trump of a falsely-created crime. >> tucker: is there any possibility the justice department has already empanelled that investigation? >> i certainly hope so. i hope they have. we're long passed that time. if they haven't, i can't imagine they're not about to do so shortly. >> tucker: why is it so hard for the fbi to le respond to legitimate and lawful requests from congress which provides oversight oversight oversighted? >> it shouldn't be. christopher wray's performance has not been good. how to carry out your duties, respond to congress. it's been an abysmal performance by director wray. >> tucker: and does it strike you odd? >> very odd. i cannot conceive of circumstances under which agents in these conditions with the kind of text messages th

another key witness is going to be obama justice department holdover bruce ohr, who we are also learningas just stripped of another title. now he is no longer had of the organized crime drug enforcement task force. ohr will testify before the house intel panel on january 17th about big issues such as the fact that his wife worked for fusion gps. yesterday, white house senior advisor stephen miller grew agitated as he was pressed by cnn's jake tapper about special counsel robert mueller's russia investigation as well as the new michael wolff book that has cost so much consternation of the white house. tapper eventually cut miller off at my fight continued off-camera. cnn claiming miller was escorted out by security, something he denies, while someone apparently taped the off-camera spat and released a transcript, which miller teed off on with her own tucker carlson. >> just another example of cnn's very own journalistic standards. i was glad to have people hear what i said off-camera and on camera, which cnn has been extraordinarily biased, extraordinarily unfair to the president, and is

. >> any american who saw this do you mind would feel like rob rosenstein and bruce ohr need to be fired immediately. they are a threat to the country. >> conformer trump advisor under surveillance. he lashed out at page. he said hopefully if congress releases the memo, america might learn real facts about the propaganda campaign intended to rig the election. shift says this memo is dismanaged. they -- misleading. nunes could hold a vote. with aicism -- simple majority he could get this made public. >> martha: congressman jim jordan. he read what is calling a shocking memo. i know you are not talking about the classified information in this 4-page document put together by nunes. it collates all of their investigations. you have read it. do you believe there is a crime in there committed by the doj and the fbi? >> look, what i believe is what my colleagues said and i said. the american people need to see this. we want the journalists in this great country to see this. we want the american people to understand what the fbi did. how wrong it was. and again, we are not allowed to talk about

simpson testified that top obama justice department holdover bruce ohr asked him to turn over some fusion gps info from the dossier to the justice department. the question republicans have, wasn't used for surveillance? >> this memo must become public. it alarms us greatly and i believe as a consequence of its release, will be major changes in people currently working at the fbi and department of justice. >> the intel committee's top democrat adam schiff pushback that that memo is "rife with factual inaccuracies and referencing highly classified materials." meant only to give republican house members that distorted view of the fbi. this may help carry white house water but it's a deep disservice to our law enforcement professionals. schiff added that republicans are trying to distract from the fact that steve bannon and corey lewandowski declined to answer some questions behind closed doors. planned testimony tomorrow from hope hicks has been postponed. >> shannon: ed henry, thank you very much. a whole lot to talk about with oklahoma republican senator james lankford who serves on the se

you have the bruce ohr problem where his wife is working at the company that is the subject of an investigation and these are people at the senior-most level of government here. that's what's so scary about this, so look, the government tends to protect itself and they tend to cover each other's back. you know this whole so-called deep state i'm telling you the closer i get to it the more real it is because they do end up protecting themselves and pushing back congress trying to run up the clock and they were all betting on the fact that they thought that hillary clinton was going to win and it was never going to be an issue. one of them was actually going to a hillary clinton celebration party. i mean everybody is going to get a chance to vote and they've got their political views but they can't wear on their shirt sleeves when they go to work at the department of justice. maria: so you don't think anybody will be held thible at the end of the day even though it's clear that the fbi was in the tank for hillary clinton despite the fact that the american people voted donald trump in as president

another key witness is going to be obama justice department holdover bruce ohr.st stripped of another title at the justice department. remember, his wife actually worked for fusion gps and was a so-called russia expert. that company's co-founder glenn simpson under the microscope after, yes, you mentioned dianne feinstein released this transcript of this private testimony to a senate committee last summer. she says, dianne feinstein she released the more than 300 pages to set the record straight. but allies of the president say there is no evidence of collusion for the trump campaign and this transcript actually raises new questions about fusion's collusion with the hillary clinton campaign. the transcript shows simpson declined to answer several questions about how fusion was paid since then, of course, we have learned from republicans getting bank records that hillary clinton's presidential campaign and the dnc paid for this information through democratic attorney mark allies. now when simpson was pressed on whether fusion gps was a democratic linked firm he re
