this is the chris wray run fbi. the trump appointee runs the southern district office.he conspiracy falls apart when you have to answer who's conspireing? you picked all these men. >> generally the conspiracies on the right fall apart. i do a segment on my show called oliver explains the right. he was a long time media matters reporter. essentially the underlying trend in the coverage in the right wing media is, it doesn't matter if more facts debunk your conspiracy theory. that's just evidence that your theory is actually correct. that sounds counter into uitive but that's literally what they do every day. >> let me give you a quick last word, ashley. are you if i cpicking up anythim the white house or any senior advisors about sean hannity, the defender with the biggest audience on that fox network that they love so much now being ensnared in all of this? >> that's a great question. what i'm hearing from the white house is sort of what jim just said, which is they don't know. as of now, they sort of think it's a weird quirk, that you know, of course his name was menti

i was glad to see that chris wray said they need to do a better job and get this stuff out the door faster put twice as many people there and ordered to turn this around as quickly as possible, this morning the president did his part to light a fire under his appointees at doj. >> trish: so what happens if they don't bother to turn it over? if they continue to stone wall or taking their own sweet time and they don't give congress what they're asking for? >> two things happen. congress upped the ante. they can hold people in content if they think people are trying to obstruct their investigation. you can see the president ra ratchet up the volume. you have the president fighting against the department of justice who is under the control of the president. it's an unusual situation here. i'm convinced the fbi now is taking this request seriously and that they will try to expedite this review to get congress the documents and evidence that they need. >> trish: even if it means implicating them 70s? >> absolutely. doj does internal investigations all the time and they have a history of rooting

chris wray and u.s.hn huber, the 11 house members call on them to investigate comey along with hillary clinton and former fbi director andrew mccabe for violations of federal statutes. >> let's get a check on your weather now with bill karins. they may not trust if you, but i trust in you that the good weather is coming soon. >> it's around the corner and the people that deserve it the most are the people in the northern plains. the cold that won't quit. temperatures have been about 20 to 15 degrees below average. this is how many cities are on pace for their coldest april ever on record. about 50 midwest cities from kansas city north wards all the way up to the dakotas and a lot of these people have 6 to 12 inches of snow on the ground as well. the 6 to 12 inches that fell through southern wisconsin, what's left of it is now snowing in areas of northern ohio and hopefully this will be the last snow you'll see. same for albany and areas of central massachusetts. some wet snow flakes in connecticut and a

chairman nunes has seen that less redacted portion, do you think that the talk of impeachment, of chris wrayover? >> well, it's over for the moment. there was the most recent pretext impugning the credibility of the people working at the fbi. sadly, many of the republicans in congress, including our chair, have decided the best way to protect the president is to tear down these institutions. that's whatnot only congress is doing but going on fox to say fire rosenstein, fire the attorney general, do whatever you have to do to an instruct the investigation. it is astonishing they are urging the president of the united states to obstruct justice. they are making no bones about it. they are saying you should fire these people because they are investigating you. what's more, that's a danger to you because they may find what they're looking for. that is breathtakingly irresponsible and putting our country on the path to crisis. >> congressman adam schiff, thank you very much for being on "new day". >> thank you. >> chris? >> the government's star witness takes the stand in the at&t and time warner

he's got problems with chris wray. >> tucker: what i care about is equal treatment under the law forll american citizens. me, you, everyone. this comey thing calls that into question. when comey was canned, a bunch of fbi officials texted and emailed one another about that, expressing concerns, but also solidarity with jim comey. we can put some of those emails on the screen. the first are from renee mcdermott who wrote this. i know you all know our director, but what is right and what is true. he made us better when we need it most. the next is from david calio's. i hope this is an instance of fake news. the third from michael bailey own, the events, we all feel the pain. these are people who are on comey's aside, he's now a political figure. if i investigate and i don't like this before or trump or hilary, why would i be nervous? >> these are people who express personal feelings with someone they worked closely with. let's go back to the watergate investigation. ken starr. let's look at people who are running investigation. all republicans. >> tucker: we weren't supposed be happy w

. >> and i think it is not just chris wray. lindsey graham and others say the right thing to do in that instance is to call the fbi, to call the authorities because this is not something that any campaign should want to participate in. look, again, this is the reason, this is the center of why there is so much suspicion about what exactly was happening in the trump campaign in that period and why we have so many unanswered yeses. questions. >> and the timing is interesting. things don't happen by accident. >> and the timing is interesting. things don't happen by accident. if she is working for the russian government, she doesn't go out there without explicit direction to make this public. is this to some degree a message from russia to donald trump? >> i think programerhaps. you have to think that she has coordinated with whoever it is she is working for. but again, nobody really believed her earlier statements anyway. and the fact is that we have this investigation that is still ongoing. and i think that she really probably do

the fbi director, chris wray, is someone who he appointed. and all the people who the president supposedly was concerned with, jim comey, andy mccabe, he fired. and so the people who are still at the fbi, he's still saying they're corrupt. it really does undermine their work there on the front lines trying to protect our country, and the president is doing nothing but undermining them. >> jennifer, i often come to you for definitions of legal terms on behalf of our audience, all of us lay people. special master sounds like a title in the british army. today the federal judge, kimba wood, appointed a special master to go through the stuff that was swept up in the cohen search. she happens to be a retired federal judge. talk about the definition of the term special master and your knowledge of this judge who's been appointed. we see her right there. >> well, it's not as exciting a job as special master might indicate because you're really sifting through legal documents and making calls about what's privileged and what's not. so barbara jones i

vox also reporting trump has been questioning sessions and fbi director chris wray. on january 22nd about why two senior officials from the fbi were still in their page. strzok and page, the fbi agents who exchanged private e-mails criticizing trump. they're working to uncover information in the files. to turn over to concongressing republicans working to discredit strzok and page. that just makes trump look bad. but it's not just reporting at vox. because this ties back to what i was just discussing with rachel and what james comey has been discussing, the newly leaked memos he wrote, which reveal at the time how trump was consumed with targeting fbi officials he saw as a threat, which included comey's deputy, andy mccabe, and it turns out, the official lisa page, because she was the same chief counsel that comey cited in his testimony while recounting trump's efforts to lift the cloud and short circuit the probe into his white house. >> who did you talk with about that lifting the cloud, stopping the investigation back at the fbi, and what was their response? >> i

you hear it from chris wray, appointees of this president making a point of praising the work, saying they will do their work independently. and sort of forge on, despite this attack. and i really, i don't -- i know we hear it every day, so you kind of get numb to it, it's like water off a duck's back, but it's no small thing and we have to be conscious of that. >> no network is perfect, but i think the disclosure is a big part. we would have to disclose it here at cnn. and then, again, there would be no controversy. either we wouldn't cover stories that had to deal -- let's say i had a relationship with him as an attorney, the network would say, every time you do a satito you have to disclose that you've had dealings with him as a personal attorney or you would not cover stories about him. that's just how it operates here and that's journalistic standards. but in all of this, put up the stormy daniels video. stormy daniels today in court watching all of this unfold. can we put it up? there we go. i don't know if it was a smart move for her lawyer. maybe it was, because that's where t

matt, you saw the fbi director chris wray saying that this went by the book, as you read the detailsthey had enough there there. >> 30 pages that goes into detail about why mccabe broke. let's just say it this way. every policy about this, that the fbi has, even broke comey's own policies about how you deal with the press. and let's remember, this is an obama appointed ig confirmed by the senate. this is not a donald trump appointee who is trying to settle scores. this is a fare-minded i.g. looking at the record and the record is terrible. and as an american, i hate to think that this actually happened at the fbi. i want to think that this doesn't happen. >> bret: okay. scooter libby pardoned today. the president in a statement saying: i don't know mr. libby but for years i have heard that he has been treated unfairly. hopefully this full pardon will help rectify a very sad portion of his life. this is a very big victory for dick cheney who wanted george w. bush to do this very thing. he did not. but, is it deeper than that? a signal when a special counsel, a special investigator is

. >> do you know chris wray?senstein who needs to be fired -- >> and you are saying the swamp. >> and i think he is a united states attorney for 20 years. >> he started his career as the -- in the independent counsel office pursuing bill clinton. that is where -- i first met rod rosenstein was down in little rock, arkansas when he was an independent counsel -- >> rich, how do you see this? >> we have to acknowledge that any president of the united states would be extremely upset if what was supposed to by counter intelligence investigation into the meddling of the election has morphed into a personal raid -- raid of his personal lawyer's office partly at least over a toddry payoff to a porn star. there is no president that will say that is a natural progression and that is great, i'm fine with that. so it is natural that he's very upset about this. he's angry about it. i don't think there is any way he's going to fire his way out of it. don't think firing rosen steen gets himself or mueller gets him anything or p

sufficient cost backed up what we heard a few weeks back from admiral mike rogers and fbi director chris wrayy illustrate a bizarre, really a surreal tug of war between the president and the best american intelligence officials that anyone's assembled in a while. either no one's been tougher on russia if you believe the president or we aren't doing enough to punish them, if you believe everybody else. both can't be true. joining us n peter baker chief correspondent for "the new york times." i've heard this analysis from former national security officials at liberty to speak a little more freely that u.s. foreign policy as it pertains to russia has been placed on two parallel tracks. when our assistance is needed, we will help an ally, but that the president is either kept in the dark or uninvolved in that kind of policy work. and i wonder, just first, your reaction s to h.r. mcmaster's comments. >> well, i think the comments are in direct contrast to what we heard from the president earlier. your set up makes that point quite sharply. both general mcmaster and others in his administration, fo

i think what you'll see from chris wray is that kind of quiet, calm leadership.t americans couldn't pick him out of a lineup. and by the way, that's the way it should be with the fbi director. and, jim comey -- frank. i have said this to the president. i think he's wrong for not noting that. i know jim comey for a long time. i had great respect for him and worked with him. but this festival that he's holding over the last ten days for his book and his sanctimonious and self-righteous conduct contributes to what you're talking about. because a guy who cares about law enforcement first doesn't run around doing the stuff that jim's doing. and i like him. but i'm really disappointed with the way he's conducted himself. >> we tested comey's appearances for "nightline." what we found is, they want to believe him when they go in. but because he attacks trump's appearance. because he cannot identify where he was on election day. and everyone knows where they were when they found out donald trump was being elected. and because of just the way he presents himself, he's hur

attorneys as a line prosecutor in atlanta -- >> friends with chris wray. >> prosecuted eric rudolph in domestic terrorist case. so, this is not somebody who is a partisan in the sort of traditional washington sense of the word. she talked a lot about how she's concerned when the president reaches into the justice department, he creates a perception that justice can be sort of moved and molded to shape his views. and he has used it to go after his political rivals. he's called for investigations in his political rivals, he's called for political rivals to be jailed. she said that is what is most concerning, even more than policy decisions that obviously she disagrees with. >> jeremy bash, you served -- i think after the justice department, the cia and the pentagon, you have to put those three agencies in the same category as being the three that all presidents before donald trump have aspired to keep separate from politics. you worked at two of the three. i want to ask you, one, for your reaction to sally yates' comments. and two, if you can take us in a little deeper. the president is

you could follow the special prosecutor here or the special counsel, but you would have to fire chris wray, because this is being handled by fbi main out of fbi headquarters. and you know, the fbi field office in new york. so firing the special counsel would do nothing here. >> you know, erin, one final thing here, this investigation speaks to the need for the president to have good counsel. because there is no reason why the president should not have already moved for a protective order with respect to those seized documents. if they contain communications between him and his lawyer, they should be seized and quarantined and a special master appointed by the magistrate to look at these and take out that stuff which is privileged, from that which is not privileged. it's unfathomable to me how they're proceeding in this case, just unfathomable. >> all right, well, thank you very much. of course, we know, he has one personal lawyer, jake sekulow representing him. and obviously, many others have refused to do so. so he doesn't have a lot of legal counsel on this. thank you all very much. and

weighed in on what could happen next. >> the house of representatives should subpoena a person, chris wrayd be held in contempt. jillian: the justice department giving in after nunez threatened toe have rosenstein and fbi director christopher wray impeached. >>> this guy is busted thanks to a question thinking dad allegedly trying to kidnap his daughter. he is accused of grabbing the 3-year-old's hand at a sack meant toe park. the father went after him when he tried it drag him away. >> he was like, wow, no big thing, huh, bud. you just tried to kidnap my daughter. reporter: he is behind bars and charged with kidnapping. >>> brawls with benches clearing and punches thrown. >> there it is. and he does not like it. now he is going to head toward the mound. now, this is a brawl. jillian: yankees and red sox coming to blows when yankee tyler austin is hit with pitch and charges the mound. that is not the only game this happened. punches thrown at rocky-padres game. five players were ejected that is how the post-game show can be fun. you have a lot to analyze. steve: doesn't look as if the pitc

call up jeff sessions and have him call up chris wray and tell him to cough up the documents. >> lelandn't he doing that? >> that gets back to your astute analysis about three questions ago. is his goal to score political points or to get at the bottom of what truly happened? he is scoring political points. he have is no closer to the bottom of what happened than before he started this. >> leland: we're closer to understanding what's going on with the mueller investigation and had the news yesterday that president trump is not a target of this investigation, he is a subject of it. brings up the i -- the issue of will president trump sit down with robert mueller. >> depends whose advice he takes. >> leland: the president needs good criminal counsel and having a tough time to find people to take that mantle up. it's a problem for the president. >> the team mueller put together has the best people that mueller could want on it in terms of experienced, trial experienced prosecutors and experienced f.b.i. agents. the president doesn't have a team anywhere near that caliber. here is the probl

we have a highly capable man of integrity chris wray in the director, a new deputy director, a new legal counsel, a new press person. new chief of staff. so if there's wrongdoing uncovered, we'll act on that. we've got to be careful we don't smear everybody if somebody made some errors. and some of the errors can be disciplinary matters rather than prosecutorial matters. but i just want to say to you we're determined to be displained. stay within our classical procedures and rules. i do not think we need to willy nilly appoint special counsels. as we can see, it can really take on a life of its own. they go forward, the inspector general will have a report before long, a few weeks maybe. we'll do our duty at the department of justice to ensure that dus justice is done as the lord gives me ability to do so. >> our good name is our most valuable possession. the doj is ichb dependent and trustworthy and the respect for the rule of law is to ensure itits fair and impartial administration. i think mr. jenkins raises an important hope. i do hope that -- i know that my comments are concerned ab

also pushing chris wray appointed by the president at the behest of chris christie.justice looks bad. why would you want to plubleg size look how bad we look. ainsley: right. brian: sally yates stuck up for the justice department for 27 years i was privileged to work with other doj and fbi agents. they deserve better than. this meanwhile the other story is andy mccabe. i have been attacked because i supported james comey, and i listened to what he had to say about his reaction with president trump. i have no money. he put which is really questionable a go fund me page up where people were able to contribute without even knowing what he did. they said that he lied four times. we're about to get his final report. people blindly said if he doesn't like president trump, i'm going to give him money. he has $500,000. minimum. and he says okay now i will shut it down. now can i hire a lawyer. meanwhile his wife took to the typewriter. jill mccabe. and she was a nurse. steve: she was an emergency room pediatrician. brian: so she was pushed to run for local virginia office, s

i would have thought the trump appointed director of the fbi, chris wray, could have pleaded with someonet to let devon into nein nunes re memo. where do you think there is a red line for republicans who used to stand for something? >> i think it would be foolish to predict one at this point. i would have given you any one of a number of red lines a year or two ago. i can't see one at this point besides losing. that's not really a red line. that's just yourself interest turns in a new direction. question of a red line presupposes that there's some way in which people might go against their own self-interest to do something right by the right. i can't point you to evidence that i have seen from any of these people that they have it. i think this also gets to a deeper issue that trump is not our only problem. i think that's -- it is very important to remember. this is a diseased republic in which so many people agree on not speaking truth to power, in which so many people are so motivated by the protection of their careers, that they won't do the thing that they promised themselves they wou
