>> one of the things was really how smoothly chris ray really sailed through his first oversight hearing before the house judiciary committee which has jurisdiction over the fbi. even though republicans were pushing him on what they say is a double standard within the fb fbi, not hillary clinton in the investigation of her e-mail server but focusing instead on the fbi agent that we have since learned has been removed from robert muller's investigation, even facing tough questions from the republicans on that perceived double standard, no one really went after ray specifically. he couldn't talk a lot about what they wanted to know. there's an ongoing justice department inspector general investigation into how the fbi handled the clinton investigation any sort of referred to that and he didn't seem to spark any personal frustrations are really very smooth appearance >> members of congress were questioning him about the inspector general reports on the muller investigation. what is the timeline for learning about this investigation and what the ig finds out >> at this point we don't know, b

. >> fbi director chris ray responding to the president's claim that the bureau's reputation is in tatters. ray, tending an agency-wide e-mail that reads base of the important of our mission are he we are entrusted with great power. we should welcome people asking tough questions asking how we use that power. >> ray finished off with keep calm and tackle hard. ray did not mention president trump by name. the president's criticism of the fbi intensified after it was revealed one of the top experts had been removed from the special counsel's investigation over a potential anti-trump bias. >> cnn has learned that expert, peter strzok is the person who changed a key phrase. he changed it from grossly negligent -- >> fired him last year. overnight he told stephen colbert he felt like he got hit in the gut when he first got hit with that infamous tape. and that the president delivered a second gut punch by questioning that tape's authenticity. >> he, last week for some reason came out with that's not my voice on the tape. i was there. you were there. what that does, though is multi it -- i told

so, i think that chris ray and his troops are kind of ready for that. it's disheartening. i mean, i think that director ray felt he had to send a very strong message to his people to buck them up when they're under attack from their own president. that's also relatively unprecedented. but, you know, look, they're professionals. they get up. they, you know, put on their boots and they go out to do their job. they try to, i think, ignore those sorts of things. they try to stay above the politics and just go about their business. >> and now for the lawyer in you, what do you make of this attorney/client privilege, and what should we -- is there something we're not understanding about this? >> well, attorney/client privilege is a very fact-specific inquiry always. so, you really do need to know the facts. it's not entirely clear to me whether this is a justified privilege claim or not. you know, one of the things you need to know is who the lawyers were. you need to know whether the conversation was actually seeking legal advice or not. you're not allowed to just carry a laura

>> where is chris ray, jeff sessions? these men and women carry out missions directed by the director of the fbi who was, i think, confirmed 100 to nothing. and part of the reason we're here is also because of what you just said. the people thought hillary's private e-mail server was the same as donald trump's assault on democracy. it is not. it's just a bad thing. >> and at this point, it's not autocratic impulses. this is goals. we're all hanging by this thread that one day we won't have a saturday night massacre. he's just going to get rid of mueller and the republicans in congress will twiddle their thumbs and say we should have done something about it. two things are problem 80. it's not just attacking these and saying i am the law. i can command everything one way or another. but it's this weird way the president sort of turns all politics into this m.c. esher painting. you have liberals cheering for the fbi, an organization that's gone after -- and so people don't know who they can support because this is a dangero

and chris ray is president trump's appointment.arol, i want to go back to the heart of the story where you have mueller appears to be interested in whether trump directed flynn to lie to senior officials including pence or the fbi and if so why the sources said. that sounds like the mueller team is investigating trump back into december. not even january or those 18 days. >> well, i think because it all starts back in september, there are a number of questions. we know they're looking into who all knew that michael flynn was talking about sanctions with the russian ambassador. we know that it was his deputy, incoming deputy, k.t. mcfarland, but were there others and did this go all the way to the president. i think that is the main question when you tie -- put -- you know, connect all of these dots. it's essentially what did the president know and at what point did he know that. as it relates to mike flynn, was he -- was he aware of those conversations. you know, he said that he was not aware that mike flynn was talking about sanct

i want to point out however that chris ray, new head of the fbi, has pushed back on suggestions that mccabe operates in any kind of biased way at the fbi. >> robby? >> i think it was terry mcauliffe that made the contribution, not hillary clinton. >> you're right. donated to pac. >> which is separate from hillary clinton. >> virginia state race. democratic governor of virginia. >> head of the democratic party, not usual for them to give to candidates running in virginia. >> jason, you're a trump loyalist, how concerned are you about the testimony that corroborates what comey is saying? >> of course former director comey is going to give the same story to mccabe as he put in his notes. but it's important to keep in mind that director comey cleared former secretary hillary clinton before she came in last year. tens of thousands of people in fbi and doj who show up for work and check political allegiances and ideological underpinnings at door and don't want to get involved in any way, shape or form. but something happened in 2016, law enforcement became politicized, in the investigation

the president continues to lay into the agency, the wall street journal reports that associates of chris ray, trump's hand picked successor to jim w comey said ray has confidence in mr. mccabe and admire how he ran the burro and associates of ray tell the journal that the fbi director does not want to appear to have buckled under pressure from the president or republicans. the paper reports such a move forcing mccabe out would likely irritate the fbi's 13,000 agents, many of whom are upset how trump is criticized the agency. tonight nbc news reports that the fbi agent's association 13,000 current and former special agents have reports they have seen a significant uptick in donors and donations for the two charities. joining us is one of the wall street journal reporters that wrote that story about the fbi and covers justice department and federal law enforcement. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> let's start with the top line of your story updated on christmas day that trump's attorneys are sticking to their idea that somehow this probe is going to be wrapped up soon. could

we agree with chris ray that fbi field agents are appreciated and respected.ues are with the political leaders in h the fbi under cormer director comey, particularly those who played politics with the hillary clinton e-mail probe. and we don't see a discrepancy beyond that. >> no discrepancy. christopher ray was asked what he thought of the president's attacks. how is there no discrepancy between those two statements? >> well it's very interesting. i think it was deft response by christopher ray. he made sure before defending the women of the fbi saying there are those other opinions which implied that he disagreed with the president without actually challenging. then you go to the white house press briefing and sarah sanders says there is no discrepancy. i think the white house is perfectly happy. i think christopher ray did a pretty deft job up there. >> thanks. nice to meet you. come back again soon. >> i will do. thanks very much for having me. >>> now to a cnn exclusive, previously undisclose the e-mails showing multiple follow-ups to the infamous trump t

today in a letter from senator ron johnson to the fbi director chris ray, we see this.rector andrew mccabe quoted the draft statement other senior fbi employees, including peter strzok. the original draft of director comey's remarks included a statement that could be read as a finding of criminality in secretary clinton's handling of classified material. the edited statement deleted the reference to gross negligence, legal threshold for mishandling classified material. the original draft of director comey statement included a conclusion that it was "reasonably likely" that hostile actors had penetrated secretary clinton's private server. instead, the edited statements and it was possible those events occurred. other things in that letter coming out late today. let's bring the panel. fox news senior judicial analyst judge andrew napolitano. molly henley, senior editor at "the federalist," tim farley, host and managing editor of morning briefing potus on sirius xm radio. >> i don't think it matters who edited it. james comey owns it. i don't get matters the ideological pr

(darya) we'll show you how one of the worst hit areas from the north bay firestorm is trying to

a lot of details in there about what the fbi believes happened and what they found to happen, chris. >> raysked whether trump brought up the russia investigation during interviews. >> he said that the president has never asked him about the mueller investigation, nor has he asked for ray's loyalty, which as you'll recall was a very important exchange that the former fbi director james comey said happened with the president. it appears the president has learned at least from all the controversy over his request from loyalty from fbi director james comey, chris. >> ken delanian, thank you. joining me now, two former members of the justice department, frank figlusi, msnbc national contributor. matt miller is an msnbc justice and security analyst and former chief spokesman at the justice department. matt, you went to columbia law school. what of trump's argument he's protected by attorney/client privilege? >> look it really depends on what the conversation was. if trump jr. and trump and the president both had their attorneys in the room and they were seeking counsel, legal advice from their at

he ha good relationship with th current fbi director and chris ray, the current fbi director, has wanted to keep some of these senior leaders on because he needs time to acquaint himself with the agency. the day-to-day operation sort of some of long-term veinvestigatis that are ongoing. so he and the current fbi director despite a lot that's been out there and some of the heat that mccabe has been taking, have had a good working relationship. zpl but the notion he could leave earlier sort of flies in the face that he's being forced out. thank you so much for breaking it down for us. as always. >> sure. >>. >> and now, i want to bring in evan mcmullan. he he ran for president as an independent in last year's election. you say president trump is acting like an authoritarian leader. that's a pretty serious charge. what makes you say that, evan? >> i don't think it's that serious of a charmg considering his actions over the past year. i think it's become pretty straightforward. look, leaders around the world who seek to lead in an unaccount bab able way, routinely go after law enforcement or

my colleagues on the house judiciary committee have said to rod rosenstein and the fbi director, chris rayit's a concerted effort, it's an ominous tone here in washington that has us all fearful that the mueller investigation is going to be shut down unless we do something to preserve it. >> you're talking about your colleagues, some things they said, jim jordan who was on the house judiciary. he said there was an fbi conspiracy to prevent donald trump from becoming president. your reaction to that? >> i really hate to hear that because the men and women at the fbi deserve to be treated with respect. there's no evidence to support that. it has to be demoralizing for them to hear that. the willingness to to any the fbi building is concerning. hopefully we can preserve robert mueller's role and protect him against being fired. >> congressman jordan's message is that these texts are somehow an indictment of the entire investigation. strock said that they needed some kind of insurace policies against the election of donald trump. you're not as concerned as he is about that? >> this was one ind

. >> yeah, and i really appreciated the note that chris ray, the director of the fbi sent to the entire fbi work force earlier today. basically he said, keep your head down, keep calm and tackle hard. that was his motto. and he basically said, don't listen to the noise in washington. it was a pretty stunning rebuke to the president who has been unleashing these massive criticisms on the men and women of the bureau who protect our country. they enforce the laws. they investigate crimes. and they conduct important national security work protecting us from the kinds of threats like russians interfering in our elections. i've talked to fbi agents, very senior folks, former folks, and they are horrified and offended at the way the president has been attacking the bureau, which is a national treasure. >> kimberly, we are also being asked, after witnessing how personal and immediate the president's twitter feed is, we're being asked to think that this one tweet was given to him, was dictated to him by his lawyer. everything else is directly from him. >> right. and it was the only time, the fir

so i'm sure what they're not telling you chris ray, an up standing fine individual, he's briefed ourmittee behind closed doors, answered every question. finally it was revealed yesterday that he over the years has contributed to the republican candidates. up to $39,000 over the period of time. i don't know if that's factual or not. that's what's been reported and no one has disputed that. my goodness, i don't think there's anyone more qualified than him to be in the fbi. there's not a better person than robert mueller to be in a position he's in. working for both democrats and republicans, being overwhelming and unanimously confirmed. and when he was asked to stay on. he was asked to stay on after the bush administration -- to stay on with president obama. so i mean he's beyond reproach. and for him to get rid of the people he did as soon as he knew, it shows you the character. >> so what's your reaction to all these republicans now saying there should be a spekd special counsel appointed to investigate all of this including mueller? >> this is what makes america sick. this is really

decisions at fbi are in ex lick able and the good news is they've got a good director in there, chris ray. rod rosenstein continues to be a guy of integrity and i believe bob mueller is a guy of integrity but he's going to have to prove it pretty soon because if he hadn't found anything to support what was the predicate for this investigation he needs to file a report and tell them there's nothing there and shut it down. maria: that's exactly right and how long can this go on without any evidence of collusion with trump? >> that's up to the deputy attorney general and robert mueller, but i think in light of all these other revelations, which devastates their credibility, they either need to come forward with serious charges we can examine and independently weigh the validity of or they need to shut this thing down. they've had seven months, they've had unlimited resources if they don't have it now they're not going to have it and it needs to be over. maria: do you know what gets me, bud? we know everybody has opinions. these are citizens they vote, they have opinions on things but to lie

director, chris rays, testimony on capitol hill yesterday. what do you think is the headline from that five-hour hearing? guest: one of the things that ood out to me was really how smoothly chris way sailed through this apeeshes. this was his first oversight hearing before the house judiciary committee which has jurisdiction over the f.b.i. even though republicans were pushing him on what they say is -- what they see as a double , andard within the f.b.i. targeting hillary clinton and the information into her email server but focusing on the f.b.i. agent that we have since learned has been removed from special counseler -- special counsel mueller's investigation, but even facing tough questions from republicans on that per seed double standard, nobody went after way specifically. he couldn't -- he couldn't talk a lot about what they wanted to know. there's an ongoing justice department inspector general investigation into how the f.b.i. handled the quin:-- the clinton investigation so he defered to that through most of his testimony. but a ver

>> he's unhappy with some of the people around chris ray but they seem to speak highly of him. they've been complimentary about him because it's a trump appointee. someone he put into this place. they feel strongly about the way he's handled himself. it's the folks he's surrounded by, andrew mccabe, among others, that the president has taken to twitter. >> chris rey has the ability to make changes if he saw them fit. >> for sure. >> thank you so much for starting us off. ken and tom are staying with us. >>> when we come back, the danger of political tribalism. voices from across the political spe spectrum warn of irreparable harm. >>> how early was mike flynn trouble for the white house. we film in questions about the role of the white house counsel who has already spent hours fielding questions from bob mueller's investigators. and praising dear leader. when does admiration turn into something darker and, well, creepy. when you have a cold, pain from chest congestion can make this... ...feel like this. all-in-one cold symptom relief from tylenol®, the #1 doctor recommended pai

about the substance of his testimony but is there anything to suggest that under the new director chris ray there's reason for republicans to have any concerns about whether the fbi is functioning at its highest levels? >> no, mr. ray and mr. rosenstein both appeared before the judiciary committee where i also sit and i asked both of them is the fbi in taerts? do you have confidence in bob mueller? of course, they stated the fbi is not in tatters. there is high confidence in bob muell mueller. his character is unpeachable. this is a narrative perpetuated by conservative voices in the media but assisted by my colleagues on the house judiciary committee where many people hoped that was the deterrent for president trump to not fire bob mueller because articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice would be referred there but now after hearing my colleagues on that committee, i think a lot of them on the republican side would take credit for the firing of mueller from what they've telegraphed to our prior witnesses. >> congressman, i don't know if you're able to stick with us but your colle

the fbi director chris ray confirming they've applied for foreign intelligence surveillance warrant whichscope of the probe and we are learning more and more about the people and perhaps their own biases of those doing the probe. >> yeah, it's been a big week for the counsel investigation. they are broadening the scope deep inside the president's inner circle but coming under scrutiny of fairness and partiality. hope hicks, the white house communications director was finally interviewed yesterday and the day before according to new york times, her attorney has declined to comment. reporting also that during transition she was warned by the fbi that russian operatives were trying to contact her. the other news that broke yesterday, the judge presiding over the case of michael flynn has recused himself without any explanation, judge rudolph randomly reassigned but this, of course, raises all kinds of questions why contreras didn't recuse himself before flynn pled guilty in courtroom to lying to the fbi. results of new questions of top deputies according to wall street journal andrew was at

one was wen chris ray, the fbi director chosen by donald trump defended the fbi's professionalism.ast week, but it was a key message. he said the fbi isn't in tatters. the bureau i represent is doing the job of the american people. i thought it was also important this week that the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein appointed by trump stood up for the justice department for special counsel bob mueller, his investigation. he said the investigation is not tainted by the political views by people who work for mueller. he didn't see any reason to fire him. i thought those things were all important. i would note one thing on this question of president trump's ability to absorb reality about foreign policy. the biggest worry i would have this week is if he doesn't understand just how danger the situation with north korea is, and the fact that he talked with his pal vladimir putin about getting russian help on north korea to avoid getting in a military conflict to get additional russian pressure, i think trump is realizing china alone isn't going to do it. that was their strategy. i d

this is the worst moment in it history, and chris ray, the director said, that's not what i see.ple doing their job every day, taking risks, defending the country, and he said further, i see people respecting our fbi officers, and the implication was i don't see that from the president. >> and mika, the president's projecting here. >> yeah. >> he says that the fbi is in tatters. perhaps he thinks his own administration is in tatters. he says that the fbi's reputation is lower than it's ever been. you can look at the polls. perhaps it's the president's own reputation that's lower than ever before. and you know what? the law is closing in on him. and so what is he doing? he's striking out and attacking the men and women who represent this country extraordinarily well every day. >> let's bring in new guests to the conversation. also with us we have "the new york times" washington bureau chief elizabeth miller. an opinion writer and editor for the new york types, barry wise. >> let me first congratulate both of you. i saw some extraordinary numbers coming across yesterday. "the new y
