the bruce orr investigation. and yet you have all of these people trying desperately to find evidence of collusion and they haven't been able to do it. clearly we're at the point now where they don't have a collusion case. this obstruction case to me is even weaker because the president, he can fire comey for any reason he wants to. that is the power of the commander in chief under article 2. so the question is, talking to mueller, what does the to gain. mueller doesn't have a case. i would just say, okay, put up or shut up at this time. and if you look at what this investigation has really been about, it's been about either unrelated offense to the campaign, like paul manafort or process crimes, like pop dupe lis or like mick flint with no underlying misconduct. if you have some of the anti-trump prosecutors going and they get him to say something that's immaterial but then they say there's a document that conflicts with, you made a misstatement, i don't think -- i don't see why he would want to the that. lou: n

her reports that bruce orr, former justice department official, who met with the fusion gps founder andistopher steele here, he will have a neither meeting in front of the house intelligence committee on january 17th. new moves in this investigation. again, reporting from my colleague laura jarrett, decidering to department of justice officials. >> all right, sunlen, thanks very much. >>> let's get back to democratic congressman joaquin castro. what's your reaction, congressman, to the news that bruce orr, this justice department official who met with the fusion gps founder glenn simpson and christopher steele, the former british spy who wrote that dossier, scheduled to meet with your committee on january 17th? >> well, as you know, i can't comment on the interviews until after they happen, but as i mentioned before and i know adam schiff has mentioned, there are still many witnesses, including folks at the state department, that we need to hear from in order to fully do our investigation the right way. >> his wife, bruce orr's wife, this justice department official, his wife nelly orr

on the other side, this is where i think it is a lot more substantive, the question of bruce orr, theofficial whose wife worked for fusion, who did not disclose that he met with christopher steele during the campaign. i think that's where the questioning will be more informative. >> harris: what's interesting about what you are saying, i will put this to you because i haven't heard a lot of democrats say let's look at all of it. i am interested to get your review. this will be really bipartisan you want to say. >> all bets are off when you start to get people under oath. i think there are answers -- >> harris: that's who we want. the wish list for democrats is longer. >> i think republicans should aid democrats. we need to know what went on so people can trust our election systems are going to be strong so that there can be faith in institutions. if there's nothing to hide let's get it out there. >> harris: that would certainly be the case for the doj or the fbi. >> you would think that we've seen the fbi not wanting to give these documents. they had lawmakers go into those rooms, loo

the intel committee is also going to interview white house communications director hope hicks and bruce orr in the coming days as well as my next guest. cory lewandowski, great to see you today. i want to chat with you personally about what's coming up later this week for you, what you've been told. >> i've been asked to, and voluntarily submit to a series of questions from the house intelligence committee to provide information that will confirm that there was no collusion, cooperation, or coordination between the trump campaign and russia and i'm happy to do that. i have said i will tell anybody what took place. there was no collusion, no cooperation and no coordination. the opportunity to do this in front of the house committee, i look forward to it very much. >> harris: i heard you do not plan to take the fifth, you will take every question. >> i have no reason to take the fifth, i will answer every question and make sure they understand, as a person who was the campaign manager to the presidential candidate for almost two years, there was no collusion. there was no cooperation, we didn

. >> harris: >> harris: there somg else that involves the doj and that is bruce orr, a member of yourwho has been demoted a couple of times because it was found out that his wife worked for a fusion gps, which was in charge of putting together that antitrust dossier. i want to get an official word from your department on that matter. >> i am not going to comment on internal doj personnel matters. bruce orr no longer works in that department. >> harris: if there is antitrust bias found in any way, shape, or form with any connection to those employees, what does accountability look like? >> the inspector general does his initial investigation and report and once we have that you then often see disciplinary, legal, other actions that can be taken. >> harris: we will watch the facts as they form. thank you for sitting by through the breaking news of the president occurring the economic forum. president trump is raising some eyebrows after saying he's looking forward to sitting down with the special counsel as part of the russia investigation. should the president tread carefully here? or

is the core issue about the senior fbi issues peddling it and the department of justice official, bruce orr the core problem with the steele dossier is former fbi director comey testified in a senate hearing in june 2017 that the dossier was salacious and unverified. and my point is if it was unverified in june of 2017, it had to have been unverified in september 2016 months earlier when credible reporting indicates that it was used in part to get a surveillance warrant from the fisa court. it's never a problem to take information, whether you're the fbi or the justice department from unsavory sources. in my past as a prosecutor, you know, i got information from terrorists, i got information from mafia guys, drug cartel guys. the thing is you can take information from anyplace. you have to vet it. you have to verify it, corroborate it before you use it when you go to court to try to get some kind of a warrant. whether it's surveillance warrant, search warrant or what have you. and the real none of the question is, did they do that? and it certainly looks like they didn't. >> they referred m

another key witness with ties to fusion gps is obama justice department hold jofer bruce orr who was stripped of another title yesterday, his second demotion or is no longer head of the organized crime drug enforcement task force but he still is getting paid by the justice department. corrupt but nonetheless on the payroll >>> my first guest tonight says peter struck's misconduct amounts to a criminal act. joining us organization that successfully filed a freedom of activation act to release the documents. great to have you here and great continued work on all of this. it is stunning. just how incriminating do you believe these texts to be and how in the world did we every get ahold of them in. >> you got ahold of the texts really because of judicial watch litigation. because we pursued all of these matters in u.s. district court in d.c. with respect to e-mails and texts. we have any number outstanding. but that's really a byproduct of that effort. they knew the heat was on, it doesn't going to go away, wasn't going to stop. this is a case of them, i think, trying to get out ahead of

how did they use the dossier in terms of surveillance on trump associates and what was the role of bruce orrs he the that brought the dossier? he was one of the highest ranking officials and his wife worked for fusion gps and met with christopher steel during the election. so these are all simple questions to answer, but we have gone months and months without any answers. >> will rosen stein at the department give over that information and more that congress is looking for? >> i don't know. >> you don't? >> no. my sources haven't told anything at the doj. i think that in a vacuum, this would be something that all of us talked about. the concern about huma abedin is something that the justice department might want to look into. just because it's the past administration and the presidential candidate lost, doesn't mean it's not worthy of investigation. it is clouded by all of the circumstances on this. this is a president under investigation bia special counsel and already had two dimes and two guilty pleas. he is feeling pressure and the white house is feeling a lot of pressure on this. the s

the fbi, the department of justice number four, bruce orr wife worked for fusion pugh ps on the fake dossier. the hole scenario, the hole situation. i want to see. i challenge my friends on the other networks to give this air time. cover this. >> they will have to. >> cover this. >> they have been so wrong and corrupt. they can't admit it. it's coming. >> i have run out of time. jay, you will be back tomorrow night. see you then. when we come back president trump is out with a blistering new ad we play that and tomi hits the streets, straight ahead. >> president's trump reelection campaign released a blistering campaign this weekend. watch this. >> [beep] [beep] >> that's illegal i am grant louise charged with murdering two police officers. >> [beep] [beep] >> it's pure evil. president trump is right. build the wall, deport criminals. stop illegal immigration now. democrats who stapd in our way will be complicit of all -- >> i'm donald trump and approve this message. >> socialist center bernie sanders called it unbelievable and outragage. >> author of "the new revolution" is with us.

bruce orr.you agree they need to be investigated, first fired and then investigated and then immediately we should disband the special counsel based on the false pretense and circumstances under which it was put together? >> yes, and to explain to the viewers. the fisa warrant is one of the most serious things you can get as a prosecutor. you swear to a judge that the evidence you are showing them to obtain a warrant to spy on someone, to wiretap -- >> sean: predicated on a phoney lie russian dossier paid for by other candidate. >> right. so these agents are swearing to a judge that this is true. we know for a fact which ones knew it was false. i can't believe the judge has hasn't already held them in contempt of court. >> sean: i want to know if rob rosenstein -- we are running out of time. herman cain last word? >> last word is this. this is worse than watergate as we allow due process to unfold. here's the other thing. all of the democrats voted against letting the public know. once again the

david: you're referring to bruce orr whose wife worked for fusion gps which was the group that was hiredthe democratic committee, by the hillary campaign and then they put together this trump dossier, part of which came from russian intel as dysfunction nal as it t was. but my question is when mr. mueller gets on to that story. there's no indication to me that he has any interest. he's interested in finding some collusion between trump and russia which he hasn't found but why isn't he interested in any collusion between the hillary clinton campaign and russia? >> that is the very question. one of the reasons why more than to members of the judiciary committee joined in calling for a second special counsel to evaluate the real claims here. one of the problems with the mueller investigation is that he went and essentially assembled the never trump board of directors to conduct the investigation. that limits its credibility. we ought to have an unbiased look of what was going on with hillary clinton. that work may well be happening right now at the little rock field office of the fbi. a bot

another witness we're told will be obama justice department holdover bruce orr who was just strippedtle. he is now no longer the head of the organized crime drug enforcement task forces. ohr there testify january 17. that his wife worked for fusion gps. adam schiff has bought into every russia allegation about the president got called out for cnn seeming to dismissal gaitions about top f.b.i. and justice officials before he did investigating. watch. >> how do you not know that it's a legitimate investigation? i thought that the whole idea was we are supposed to believe the f.b.i. and the people at the justice department are men and women of integrity? >> if they are investigating hillary clinton it doesn't take a genius, let alone a stable genius to see why. it is not because there is no evidence that has come to light. they are being badgered by the white house to do it. >> with all due respect aren't you contributing to the lack of faith in these institutions? >> nunes scored a big victory on friday what td bank turned over more bank records for fusion gps. this will reveal more ab

and bruce orr who worked for the firm behind the dossier.emocrats are calling this a sideshow. we are back with our power panel now. >> i think it is important to get to the bottom of it. the deputy director of the fbi's office, what was that insurance policy? i think any reasonable individual who cares about this stuff, what was that insurance policy? >> harris: what could it be? >> i don't know, it didn't work out. >> there's a lot of questions over this dossier and a lot of this concern that hit is fundamentally shape investigation as well as the narrative and that is dangerous considering the fact that are democrat paid for a propaganda piece of information. >> that's not true, i obviously don't think any insurance policy should have come to fruition. peter strzok was not a hillary supporter. if you read the op-ed the ceo wrote in "the new york times" ," they've given over 21 hours of testimony that democrats want released. it absolutely should be. it's leaking out which is very different than all of the testimony. and to that end, what

million democrat product of custom the fbi coopted -- listen, we don't have to look any further than bruce orrwhy would he be meeting with the person who wrote the dossier? >> let me ask you something, if there is wrong that happened why is everybody worried about the investigators? >> here's why they are worried about the investigators and why i believe we need to stregt the investigators with a special prosecutor. >> through the looking glass type of stuff. >> when you have fbi agents sharing with the media internal documents and internal conversations with the media on an ongoing investigation, that is not supposed to happen. >> under that scenario then everything that washington has reported on for the last 50 years deserves a special prosecutor, sir. >> no no, no i'm not saying that you and i -- but law enforce men is held to a different standard. >> i understand that, but we are going to go round and round and i'm going to run out of time. congressman i'll leave it there. thank you for coming in. >>> coming up next, president trump asked senator hatch to stay. today he said no. based on

next, of course, you have the demoted doj official bruce orr, his wife nellie.e meets with members of fusion gps before and after the 2016 election and his wife, nellie orr worked for the firm that hillary clinton and the dnc made to produce the fake, phony propaganda russian-trump dossie. 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 that 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. i do look at the money behind that. you have mountains of evidence here of wrongdoing. if the media is not

could it be page and strzok and mccabe and comey and let's see, bruce orr, could it be rod rosensteino else is in the special secret society snae. >> hose else? do they wear costumes and sing songs and light candles? enter senator ron johnson who suggested he had inside information about the supposed secret society from a secret informant. >> the secret society. we have and i form and the talking about a group that were holding secret meetings off site. there's so much smoke here, so much suspicion. >> stop there. a secret society. secret meetings off site of the justice department. >> correct. >> and you have an informant saying that? >> yes. >> johnson did not in fact have an informant saying the society was having secret meetings. he admitted that what he was saying the day previous was untruthful this morning. >> did your informant confirm these off site meetings took place? >> no, listen, i never -- it the term secret society comes from strzok and page. all i said when i read that, it didn't surprise me because we are the committee, the whistleblowers come to us to talk about all

they were caught exchanging those into trump text messages as well as bruce orr, the doj official whopen to for fusion gps, the firm that was looking at the anti-trump dossier helping put that together. war was demoted after concealing meetings with people involved in that anti-trump dossier. house majority whip steve scully says is very important for investigators to talk to these people. >> you see an exposure of what i think is a lot of corruption and real concerns that have been raised about the special counsel. in fact, just the credibility of the special counsel is very much in question because as you mentioned, so many people that miller bought in for the people working on that were very anti-trump in the campaign and still to this day. i think the impartiality of this investigation has been called into question and i have some real serious concerns about it. >> harris: your thoughts? >> the days of j. edgar hoover were answers only to itself. this is a good step in the right direction for the fbi to actually turn this information over to congress. congress has oversight. the f

and the dnc and orchestrated by people who had direct ties to the fbi and justice department like bruce orrse wife worked for fusion gps. that's why this is so incredibly important, and i hope the american people don't get sucked out of the vortex of reality and listen to people like the washington post and the new york times and instead will focus on the actual texts. not even what we say about it. just look at what these people were saying. focus on that and tell me you don't smell a rat. stuart: by the way, governor, on our screens, you probably didn't see it. but it was president trump officially leaving davos, climbing onboard air force one. he's on his way back to america. now, i have one more for you, sir. the sinner cher lashing out at your daughter white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders on social media. here's the tweet. will someone please tell sarah huckabee sanders to stop dressing like a sister wife. okay. go at it, please. >> well, of all the people to give fashion advice on how to professionally dress like a businessperson, are you serious, cher? you're going to b

bruce gordon is upper darby students and parents say their school is just too cold. let's begin with kathy orr tracking this cold and a nor'easter. kathy. >> yeah, let's first start with this winter storm watch. it goes into effect tomorrow night, lucy, just 24 hours from now. it goes through thursday. you can see through south jersey and southern parts of delaware we're talking about potential for significant snow. the cold is in place. that's for sure. it has been for a week. a week without reaching 32 degrees. 11 degrees in the poconos. 23 in philadelphia. and 20 degrees in millville this is what it feels like. bone-chilling cold with westerly winds eight is the wind chill in reading. four below in the poconos. it only feels like 13 in wildwood. so this is what's going to happen. we have a developing area of low pressure. it becomes a nor'easter moves up the eastern seaboard. we have winter storm watches posposted from northern florida right into maine. you know it's cold and this is a strong storm when that happens. it will continue toward the northeast. so we're talking about the heaviest
