the op research firm that produced the fake christopher steele dossier. remember the bit british spy? on donald trump. fusion gps has several ties to the democrats, including clinton allies and even planned parenthood. according to "the washington times," christopher steele said in a court filing that that dossier was never supposed to be made public and that buzzfeed should never have published it. another one of the destroy-trump-media russian collusion conspiracy theories is falling apart. by the way, since everyone is talking about collusion, well, why did the media and democrats freak out over a story in january that had real evidence -- by the way, you won't get this in any other mainstream media outlet -- none of them will talk about this -- take a look at the headline from politico. ukrainian efforts to sabotage trump pack fire. according to politico's report, ukrainian government officials tried to assist hillary clinton in several ways by questioning donald trump's fitness for office. by putting out documents insinuating the ukrainian government

this was the security investigative behind the christopher steele dossier.he christopher steele dossier which has been disreputable, that was trying to connect donald trump to the russians, that was actually the company this woman was working for. i know congressional investigators are looking into this. what was her connection to fusion gps and how does thatto play out with the meeting she held with donald trump jr.? in which he said he did not know prior to that meeting exactlytr who she was and what she was representing.t that is a very, very important part of this story. >> sean: john, i want to juxtapose thisor to another stoy that political broke. the headline is ukrainian efforts to sabotage trump backfire. kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost clinton. the story goes on to talk aboute this wasn't the only campaign that was boosted by a former soviet lock country. government officials try to help hillary undermine trump, questioning his fitness for office and also discussing documents impl

now, there's no indicator the fbi actually put christopher steel on their payroll, but clearly theree sort of conversation there at the washington post -- if the washington post report is accurate which it appears to be. a central question of course for the committee is going to be how does this all work together? the senate judiciary committee does oversight of the fbi so that will be particularly front of mind for grassley. arthel: will simpson be under oath? let's talk about why he was subpoenaed and not necessarily volunteering to testify? >> as of now it appears he is not going to. his attorney released a statement saying that mr. simpson is out of the country and if he did come back and did appear, he would plead the 5th so he wouldn't say anything to the committee. they say that this hearing could potentially be political, on the scope of what was initially planned, they are saying it is a witch hunt. now if the senate committee were to try to force glen simpson to testify, it's a fairly complicated process. the committee would have to vote to hold him in contempt. then the se

they have said that that's absolutely true. >> i want to take a moment to turn to the christopher steeleossier, which was first mentioned in the media just before the election and published in if you feel by media outlets in january. my focus today is to explore how many claims within steele's dossier are looking more and more likely as though they are accurate. well, the dossier definitely seems right on these points, a quid pro quo relationship seems to exist between the trump campaign and putin's russia. >> there is a lot in the dossier yet to be proven but increasingly as we will hear throughout the day allegations are checking out. >> sean: all three of these issues, ukrainian collusion, the uranium one deal, the fake news dossier, all involve actual concrete evidence, real collusion. real wrongdoing, real law breaking. now, it's why we are not going to stop reporting. we're not going to stop covering these very important issues on the show and we will demand the media do their job. the establishment media. msnbc, cnn, fake news, 24/7 the same opinion all day. that's not the same he

fusion gps's christopher steel created the false dossier on then candidate donald trump funds by the democratic supporters of hillary clinton. i kid you not. joining me now chris farrell. i have got to say with all apologies to my colleagues in broadcasting and media across the country, you are damn fools for chasing this nonsense like a bunch of buying hounds. this ridiculous. >> if anything needs to be investigated it's the dnc link to fusion gps and the phoney dossier. clear live it doesn't benefit trump. it was an attempt to knock trump out. whose money was behind that. if you want to peel back the layers on the russia hysteria, look at the dnc and hillary's campaign. that's where it seems to point in my opinion. lou: i have been saying the number one question in the so-called russia collusion investigation which is a manifest joke. but if there is a question to be answered, it is how in the hell did the dnc get away from telling the cia, the f.b.i. to get away from their servers because they had some sort of national security interest and why in the world did the f.b.i. and the

christopher steele? the dossier on president trump? he pointed out that the sources included a senior russian foreign ministry figure. a top level russia intelligence messenger. a senior russian government official and a senior kremlin official. they were spreading information directly sourced to the highest level of the russian government. instead ofed stopping all of this -- the dossier was passed aroundis for months and months, eventually published by buzzfeed, routinely cited by democrats who repeated the false claimsy to attack president trump. that was about the ritz-carlton and hookers and i won't go any further. it led to an investigation. the group behind this phony dossier, fusion gps. there are several ties to the democrats,s including clinton allies. the double standard here is spectacular. as we have seen time and time again, democrats are willing to put their party and politics before anything else. even if it means lying to you. in the case of donald trump, jr., he came on this program las

there is the fake news, of course the christopher steele dossier had it cited sources. that group fusion gps, they commissioned, they shopped around to the media, all that information. the democrats routinely were citing it in public to you. christopher steele the former british spy who wrote this fake document, he needs to be subpoenaed to. he needs to be forced to talk about what he knows, when he knew it, how we obtained this information. we also need answers on the reports that the fbi, james comey offered to pay him as much as $50,000. also speaking of james comey, a he's surrounded by controversy. he may have broken the law, remember? classified government property from the fbi. he also admitted he gave one of his memos to the friend, in that case "the new york times"s" because he wanted a special counsel. that special counsel turned out to be a long time bff of james a comay, robert muller.ou this guy has more conflict of interest and we can count so it's time to start investigating the investigator.ou why did he hire hillary clinton's attorney? why did he hire o

we still have christopher steel, the former intelligence agent of great britain, that wrote the fake news dossier about donald trump, and, by the way, paid for some of the information, that cited russian sources, and then the group connected to hillary that's fusion gps, remember, they were sending it around, and the democrats were using that phony information to attack then candidate/now president trump. they need to be brought from congress under oath and answer questions. then the former fbi director, comey, he wanted to pay this guy 50 grand, and his removal of government information from the fbi, legging it to "the new york times," helping his friend to be a special counsel. let's put him under oath in this. the special counsel ended up becoming comey's buddy, robert mueller. oh, okay. then he hires hillary clinton's attorney. we've been saying this over and over again. it's time to investigate the investigator. you're not hearing about this from the mainstream media. mueller may be breaking out the law by carrying out this investigation when his bff james comey is the key witne

i would love at some point to be able to talk to christopher steele, who was a long-term agent of the british government and had been viewed by the american government as at least credible. >> bret: do you know how much the fbi paid for the dossier? to go all i know is what's been reported in the press was at the initial reports were that this, that mr. steele was hired by a republican operative trying to discredit mr. trump during the republican primary process. >> bret: do you know or do you stand behind congressman schiff who read a lot of the dossier. >> what i would say is i don't know the veracity of the dossier. i know it was done by a long-term agent of the british government, one of our allies, and i know that this agent was viewed as at least credible by the american government. >> bret: understanding -- >> truth or nontruth of the claims made in the dossier and there have been some claims that were quite salacious. other claims indicated they felt the russian government had some ability to influence mr. trump. >> bret: understanding that the special counsel has a job to do,

christopher steele was a british national with the information together.lusion was far more pungent on the left than anything to do with trump. >> eboni: jeff, let me ask you. we can have that conversation eric is talking about. at some point, that narrative also got stale. aren't we going to have to look at what the trump administration is doing? >> yes. we can go back and look at what the clintons did and on and on. i agree at some point we have to be in the present moment and move forward and focus on what's happening now. >> kat: i don't understand why we are talking about the clintons right now. yeah, they've gotten away with a lot. they are at the center of a lot of corruption but i don't understand how anybody can look at these emails cannot be at least bothered and not say he clearly made the wrong choice in this instance. >> i will go back to what eric was saying. i get your frustration because it does seem the media hasn't always played fair. there's been more focus on some of these small issues that have happened during the early months of the t

gps commissioned christopher steele to dig up opposition research on then candidate donald trump. an opposition research doszier containing false allegations on donald trump. and will senator john mccain delivered that dossier to attorney general james comey tlft year. here is a member of several committees and including a member of the freedom caucus. good to have you with us. the pictures of this woman being there so many long ago, it is just stunning to see how the national left wing media ran with the story without any idea of what they were talking about when it came to the issue of collusion and the role of this attorney. your thoughts tonight? >> she had been in the congress. you pointed out the hearing in 2016 and that was heavily involved and before i got sworn in. and they voted in 2012 on the mennitsky act. i guaranteed she lobbied more democrats than republicans. she's been here and loretta lynch approved her to be here on a special parole. they are act being like she's put min's right hand woman. if that were the case, why would the obama administration wanted her her

it is the one firm that hired british intelligence agency christopher steel to create what is now theiscredited dossier on donald trump with all of the obscene accusations that it contained which ultimately was passed along to the fbi by senator john mccain. joining me now to discuss all of the upheaval in the white house, the executive editor of the weekly standard, fox news contributor, fred barnes. the dean himself. fred, let me start with you. scaramucci is in, reportedly reince priebus the chief of staff opposed it. steve bannon opposed it. sarah huckabee sanders opposed his entry. what do you make of it? fred: donald trump must like him a lot or he wouldn't have put number this job over the objection of others. reince priebus says he was behind scaramucci 100%. the question is what -- lou: i just looked at what happened afterwards and what happened before. that's what happened after he was announced. fred: and that can be very telling. but the point is scaramucci does not seem to have the skill set to be the communications director. that doesn't mean he can't do it. there is a l

lawyer is connected to fusion gps, the opposition research firm that produced the discredited christopher steele dossier on donald trump. by the way, as "the new york post" has reported, fusion tps has several ties to the democrats, including clinton allies and even planned parenthood. from looking at the facts as we have them, a friend of the trumps offered to coordinate a meeting to share opposition research on hillary clinton, which donald trump jr. agreed to. nothing came of it because there is no information exchange. and it ended there. the democrats and mainstream media are hysterical over the story. we are glad you are all watching. they have completely ignored an example of actual election interference and i would argue probably because it involves a democrat appeared to be fair to you, the american people, we want to be balanced. we need to point this out. the question you people in the media need to start asking yourselves is -- why don't you tell the american people every story? for example, back in january, politico -- hardly members of rate ranks conspiracy published this explosive

that may not help him much, not least because if you cast your mind back to the christopher steele dossiers hare running with these reports, he said that there had been an eight year exchange of information between russia and the trump campaign and this information fits into that. one network anchor said today that it —— if donald trumer wasn't colluding, then he was collusion curious. you have given some hints about your contacts with people from the administration and we've seen a tweet from the president saying, who wouldn't be interested in information from the opposition? is that the line they are going to take? what is their strategy? i think they are in a panic. it was very telling that once again the white house press briefing wasn't on camera and the spokesperson said, basically, talk to the lawyers, whenever she was asked a question. telling that donald trumer changed his story. his explanation was initially that he was meeting with russian orphans who were being adopted by american parents but when the new york times had the e—mails, he went public. i think you can see the white

commissioned by a republican voter and a potentially clinton ally funded the entire effort and christopher steel former agent from great britain and he put this piece together and cited russian investigation sources tied to the russian government and a law firm that tied to gps and russian lawyer that was in the june twigsth meeting with donald trump junior. democrats feigning moral outrage about the idea of russia and collusion, were willing to repeat information from the phony doszier. and they have subpened fusion gps and his attorneys said he would plead the fifth. exclusive fbi siege smashed hard drives from waszer-man shultz is only now willing to cooperate in this democratic it scandal where contractors are accused of taking hundreds of thousands of computer e-mail equipment. if you are like me, i am sick and tired of a dual system of justice. we don't have equal justice in the law. no one in the trump campaign gave uranium to vladimar putin and deleted e-mails with bleach bit. and smashed hard drives with hammers and colluded with the ukrainian embassy. if you want your agenda passed it

of course it was fusion gps which commissioned christopher steele, former british intelligence agencyo dig up opposition research, or rather create opposition research on then candidate donald trump. and opposition research dossier containing false allegations about trump, the entire dossier has been discredited. and it was senator john mccain, who delivered a dossier, that dossier to fbi director james comey late last year. joining me now, congressman louie gohmert, member of the house judiciary committee. former judge and attorney, great to have you here. your reaction to first, let's start, if we may in some sequence. immigration parole that was given by the attorney general, then attorney general loretta lynch. but a reading of the statute that makes it possible to create this waiver says, secretary, as in secretary of homeland security. what is going on? how did loretta lynch, if you know, how did she get involved in this? >> i don't know how she got involved but it is obvious that russian attorney was here on capitol hill and apparently had a lot more success with democrats. she

fusion gps was the group that was hired to higher christopher steele, a british national, to dig up information on donald trump. somehow this is also tied to this woman. >> katrina: the intentions of this meeting is what's really the problem here. her connections to this shady group and others. now it makes us look back and say oh, this was a bad intention by this individual. but this wasn't donald trump, jr.'s fault or the president's fault. if they say we want to have a meeting for x and then come in with the personal motivation of y, then we have to look back at it and question those individuals. unfortunately with this, this is part of a bigger hoax. you were mentioning, this was not the context before in june. however, john podesta did have prior connections to the russians. hillary clinton, bill clinton did have connections to russia and their government. but we are not talking about that. >> capri: two wrongs don't make a right. >> katrina: there's nothing wrong here. >> eric: no laws were broken. >> capri: i am not disputing that either. >> eric: i turn on the other cable networks and t

. >> eric: someone hired christopher steele in england to do this opposition research, russian dossiernald trump. someone hired them to do that. now, if you want to use that same inappropriateness, illegality, whatever you want to call it, if you apply it, you should find out who that person or people war and find out who did that. that could be just as damning as anything donald, jr., did. >> dagen: there is an article russia didn't help president trump in the election. one of the greatest divides among the right, left, liberal, conservative, democrat, republican is being angry over this issue. >> eric: there is a group, fusion gps. they were involved with setting up the meeting with the russian lawyer and donald trump, jr., the same group, one of the founders of fusion gps, involved in the russian dossier that hurt donald trump and was allegedly going to help hillary clinton. it may lend credibility, that they were just interested in destabilizing. >> dagen: i know well-known journalists in the '80s that would get calls from people saying they were with russian news agencies. these g

a dossier compiled by ex—mi6 agent christopher steele on behalf of trump's opponents made various salaciousfied, allegations about what motives donald trump might have for working with the russians. a number of trump's closest advisers and relatives have been caught lying about or omitting to mention contacts they had with russian officials or russians with kremlin links. president trump's attitude to the investigation has also attracted scrutiny. he fired the fbi director james comey because of — in his words — "the russia thing". and he's been publicly critical of the team assembled by robert mueller, the special counsel tasked with investigating those russia ties now. kushner maintained he joined those meetings late, half—briefed. protestations some heard as him throwing don junior, the president's son, under bus. awkward, that. when the family business is running america, things get complicated quite quickly. here, washington's summer has erupted into the rain. that is the sound. we're sitting in a place literally called the swamp. familiar to viewers more as a metaphor for somewhere tr

. >> i want to take a moment to turn to the christopher steele dossier and published in january. my focus today is to explore how many claims are looking more and more likely as though they're accurate. the dossier seems right on these points. a quid pro quo relationship seems to exist between the campaign and russia. >> there's more as we'll hear allegations are checking out. >> all three issues, ukrainian collusion, the uranium one deal and fake news dossier involve actual concrete evidence, real collusion and real wrongdoing and law breaking. it's why we're not going to stop reporting or stop covering these very important issues on the show and we will demand the media do their job. the establishment media. msnbc, cnn, fake news, 24/7. the same opinion all day. it's not the same on the fox news channel. joining us now the author of understanding trump, fox news contributor, speaker of the house newt gingrich. we have quotes from this chalupa lady i want her and wassermann-schultz under oath. >> other people are saying she told them she thought she can get material that would h

what's so disturbing is christopher steele, the former mi6 agent from great britain, she, -- he put thisether. sources with ties to the russian government. a law firm connected to both fusion gps and that russian lawyer who met with donald trump, jr., in 2016. this is a massive double standard from democrats on this big news dossier. they've been hyperventilating. so emotional about the idea of russian collusion and other countries try to influence our election. remember, ritz carlton, hooker, open urinating on a bed. this new scandal involves possible obstruction of justice. the media didn't really report on this a lot. the fbi did release 42 heavily redacted pages about the criminal investigation into hillary clinton's email server. the mom and pop shop, the bathroom closet, several of the documents have sections that were marked as grand jury information. here's the potentially criminal part. one of the pages in the fbi, it leaked details about how clinton's lawyers handed over one of hillary's ipads and to have her blackberry devices to the fbi. she said i only wanted to keep it on o

connected through fusion gps, to the opposition research, the russian dossier completely correct, christopher steelethe british operative who put together this russian dossier somehow got payment from fusion gcs. in sort of pointing the finger at donald trump, jr., who was colluding -- mo, big word, maybe they were colluding with hillary clinton. they had authorization , information on donald trump! >> mo: the one part of the sequence that is concerning to me is where it said this person has information that would damage your opponent. it is part of the russian government's effort -- >> eric: all lies. >> mo: but donald trump, jr., did not know that before he walked into the meeting. he took the meeting. that should've sent up a red flag. >> eric: mo, mo, mo -- >> mo: the fact the story keeps changing said send up another red flag. >> eric: i understand the concerns expressed, but i'd like to go a little deeper. that is that the log reads receiving something of value -- he didn't receive anything of value. it was nothing. whatever his intention was to get information... look. i've been in politics f

we still have the russian dossier, c christopher steele te former intelligence agent great britain. he wrote that fake news dossier aboutd donald trump and paid for some of the information that cited russian sources and then the group connected to hillary, that's a fusion gps, remember? they were sending at the rounde of the democrats were using that phony information to attack then candidate now president trump. they all need to be brought before congress under oath and answer questions. and of course we got the former fbi director comey, they want to pay this guy $50,000 and his removal to the government fbi g to "the new york times" and helping to get hisng friend al. special counsel. let's put him under oath in the spirit the special counsel ended up becoming comey, buddy robert muller. it's now time to start investigated the investigator. you're not hearing about any ofn this from the mainstream media. now mueller they be breaking out the law by carrying out this investigation when james comey is the key witness. members to his team donating thousands and thousands to obama and

we certainly have the dossier that christopher steele provided that has been available to the public. what i have been told, there has not been anything that has been checked out about that dossier that has not proven to be true. so he does in terms of compromise talk about videos and the like, i do not know if they exist, i do not know if it is even true, but so far the dossier has proven to be accurate. are you convinced that there will emerge during the course of bob mueller‘s investigation or the house or the senate investigations, more evidence that reveals that the trump campaign colluded in a way that was illegal, with the russian government? some things are pretty obvious. and if breadcrumbs actually give you a pathway to a certain end, then you follow them. and there are so many breadcrumbs that have been dropped by the president himself on any number of occasions, on a number of different issues as it relates to this investigation, that i believe personally, this is me personally, not based on what i'm seeing in the intelligence community, i think that there was collaboratio

ignoring the collusion and that she's actually linked to this guy, diffusion, the gps, they christopher steelesier that was used to smear trump. >> juan: you are running so far away. >> kimberly: i am running right into the truth. i am telling you -- okay, who is this woman? you act like she is an innocent -- >> juan: she is not innocent. >> kimberly: know. look what she was involved with, or nefarious connections, and who was at the link back to? the obama administration, people trying to support hillary clinton. >> juan: what it links back to his donald trump, jr., with full knowledge of her connection -- >> kimberly: that was her target. >> greg: can i just destroy juan's argument? if there was evidence of high-level contact and collusion on the trump part, would this email and the meeting -- it would not make actual sense. it would come alight, be dana taking a meeting with our show intern in order to get something for me. if you have high-level contacts already, you don't sit there and meet with this person that you don't know. it is such a joke. he took the meeting because he was curious

he's filed a subpoena to compel testimony from the head of the research firm that paid for the christopher steeleossier of alleged russian dirt on donald trump, that dossier that caused such a stir when it was published by buzzfeed in january, it has a lot of lurid stuff in it but honestly it has a lot of stuff in it that has been borne out by subsequent sirius investigation. this thing that's going to happen on wednesday, this is the thing i have been saying is coming. this is the thing i have been saying is coming from congressional republicans and from republicans who want to defend donald trump. senator grassley set the subpoena tonight. he's canceled the testimony from don jr. and paul manafort and instead of hearing from them next week on the collusion issue, the nate instead will play host at an open televised hearing to the big republican pushback theory they have been gearing up for on conservative media for a couple of weeks now. this is the big pushback in which they will claim that there is a russian scandal but it's not a trump-russia scandal. it's the democrats. and the dossier on t
