we are talking with chris farrell of judicial watch. we are talking about the presidency and what may turn out to be an absolutely historic point in the country's history. your judgments about the options available to the president, to the leadership of the house and senate who permitted this egregiously horrible decision to permit a special counsel. >> there are a few things in play. we have a case where yesterday attorney general sessions obviously rocked the leftists back on their heels with a strong defense. but the deep state wouldn't allow that to occur more than 24 hours. so now you have a leak coming out of the special counsel's office or the f.b.i. agents work for him. that in and of itself is a form misconduct that could result in his termination. you can't have a special counsel's office running an anti-presidential campaign on their own. so now he's got a leaking problem just like his buddy, mr. comey. let's not forget mueller and comey are pals. so there is a conflict of interest there. this is a mess. lou: it's clearly an

chris farrell, director of investigations and research at judicial watch. >> hi, lou. lou: does that sound to you like the man running the department of homeland security speaking to the united states congress about a national security issue, a critical one and incursion into the democratic party servers and just accepting the rejection by of all people, debbie wasserman schultz? >> you have to remember that jeh johnson is the guy who ran around for a number of years saying that the islamic state was not islamic. so he pulls that off with a straight face and people applaud when he says, it so the fact he turns around and says, hey, look, we know we have hostile foreign actors, foreign intelligence services, attempting to penetrate political party's operations through information technology and doesn't do anything or relies on the fbi to say, well, crowd strike has got it, and, of course, crowd strike is manned at the most senior levels by retired fbi guys who are computer or information technology guys, and that's supposed to be good enough and, of course,

chris farrell, judicial watch, thanks for being with us, appreciate it. >> thank you, lou.to vote in our poll tonight. the question after today's testimony -- cast your vote on twitter at lou dobbs. follow me on twitter on lou dobbs, "like" me on facebook, follow me on instagram at lou dobbs tonight. >>> on wall street, stocks closed higher, the dow hitting intra-day high before finishing up the day only 9 points. the s&p up a fraction. the nasd gaining 24. closing at a new record high. volume on the big board, 3.7 billion shares and what do you say to all of those business news outlets claiming that the markets would be so unsettled by the comey hearing? wrong again. nordstrom shares surging 10% after the retailer said it's considering going private. and a reminder to listen to my reports three times a day, coast-to-coast on the salem radio network. >>> up next, how quickly things change in the swamp. it was only a month ago that comey denied leaking, and he did so under oath. >> director comey, have you ever been an anonymous source in news reports about matters relating

joining us is chris farrell at judicial watch. thanks for being being with us.mbshell that loretta lynch ordered the director of the fbi to refer to an investigation as a matter. what in the world are these people playing at? >> it is clear that the fbi director was taking investigations from hillary clinton's campaign and clearly the attorney general was giving him talking points and he adopted them. the admission is stun itting and i would argue that his notes are property of the united states government and if i were attorney general 20 minutes after his confession in front of the senatancy deputy u.s. marshals would have raided his office and home and the professor. he had no business releasing them. it is an extraordinary admission and lawless. you know, we wonder why we have leakers in the government when the fbi director is playing games for political points, because his tender ego was bruised. he took an oath to the constitution and bep trayed it in no uncertain terms. >> lou: has confession has got to have shaken the left. the dems must be beside themse

lou: judicial watch's chris farrell last night recommended on this program that rod rosenstein call muellervestigation. it will go not beyond this. and that is a crime. a crime of collusion with the russian government. collusion of course is not a crime. obstruction of justice is not a crime that has ever been prosecuted or suggested against a president of the united states. and it's impossible with a iewn terry government for there to be obstruction of justice in the mind of most legal scholars. so what do we do? john: i think you treat mueller like knot iter prosecutor in the country is treated. that's not what he want, and that's not what his allies in congress want. they want unfettered jurisdiction. every other official has to compete for resources. lou: who are this allies? >> the people in congress who want to impeach donald trump. the congressional investigation, they won't be able to find out what happened on any of these issues. trump's opponents know it. you could make mother theresa an independent counsel and the institutional pressures to uncover every last little rock would co
