fbi fired and basically dismisses christopher steele as a confidential informant.they were gathering information, because he was leaking to the media. so how can congress get to the bottomki of any of this if nelle ohr is refusing to talk about the conversations she had with her husband? these are not private conversations between a husband and wife. these are conversations between an employee, a fusion gps, and an official of the department of justice. and congress should continue to demand answers from her, just as they did from james baker. maybe the person to ask about a lot of these questions is going to be around rosenstein next wednesday. he really has to answer these questions. he gave an interview to "the wall street journal," but then refused to talk to congressman meadows and other lawmakers. it is incredible. i could talk to the media, but i don't want to talk to you? >> sean: i will let you weigh in on this, john solomon, but also, you had a big breaking story yesterday. you were able to discover all of these junkets, doj, fbi guys, were taking from sp

conduct a search and surveillance surveillance especially and that warrant was relied on the christopher steel dossier that's why the dossier such a big deal but the f.b.i. themselves the state in analyses that the steel dossier just they had medium confidence in that so there has to be some kind of a barrier of bridge to show why something that they had medium confidence and why it was inevitably pushed through because we know at the end of the day the f.b.i. doesn't make the final call so i think in terms of what was surprising to me unfortunately really nothing i think anything that continues to be an rejected because of for requests or because of lawsuits brought on in the united states is going to going to continue to show what some of the political pundits have been saying all along which was that this was a politically motivated surveillance that really had no basis in fact or very little basis in fact so in some cases people on all sides of the issue are going to take what they want from this. trip administration is has been going after the f.b.i. a lot lately actually is there any ind

they were feeding information to the fbi after the fbi cut off ties with christopher steele.ems to be more questions about how exactly this russia probe got started. reports are surfacing that mueller is dropping something after the elections about the russia probe. we deserve transparency. liz: the american people are confused about this whole story. they understand it's wrong for russians to be meddling in our election system. but it seems to be conflicting feeling that you do not want the u.s. intelligence community to be deployed against your political opponent, right? >> 100%. i think we can all agree when foreign actors tried to get involved in our elections it's something we should take action against and look out for. i think our system is woefully inadequate when it comes to addressing bad actors. i think a lot of the hysteria you hear from the left and the overemphasis on what did is aiding and abetting the kremlin. i think acting like putin is a giant mastermind and russian control bought farms will undermine our entire system and way of life, it gives them more cr

bruce ohr to use him as a back channel to get the dossier to the fbi after this british spy christopher steele was fired by the fbi over his contacts with the media in the fall of 2016. he was congressman mark meadows. >> i don't know that they agreed with my assessment, but it has to be a concern that you have a reasonable apprehension of criminal prosecution order to invoke it and that you can't just invoke the fifth in order to avoid questions before congress. >> everything is intermingled here if you will. by our account and research. glenn simpson a fusion gps facing at least three or four lawsuits that have to do with the dossier and the most recent lawsuit was filed late yesterday by carter page who was the target of that surveillance warrant. >> harris: interesting. intermingled lawsuits, the way you put it. which means there's a lot more to come i would imagine. >> basically you could have jeopardy here based on what he set on those outside lawsuits. since may have been the basis for his decision to take the fifth because of this legal and criminal exposure. >> harris: thank you very

was the lawyer for glenn simpson, head of fusion gps, the firm that hired the ex-british spy christopher steeltogether an opposition research file on donald trump and his ties to russia and russia's efforts to attack the u.s. election in 2016. you can see glenn simpson there standing over the shoulder of his lawyer. simpson was there because house republicans are still trying to nail him somehow for having commissioned the research and the trump russia dossier. he's testified before three different committees. yesterday they tried to get him in front of a fourth committee, and he said basically no through his lawyer, you're trying to shoot the messenger here. so it's kind of a dramatic standoff, the lawyer saying what republicans are doing to his client is demagoguery and abuse of power and he's not going to help them cover this up. but then i just want to show you this next moment that happened. when up pops the fox news channel point person on this story. this is fox's lead reporter on all of the fox news stories they've been pushing for months now how terrible the fbi is, and how the real s

response to a freedom of information act lawsuit documents also show that former british spy christopher steele who authored a controversial anti-trust dossier was relied on heavily to get approval for a wiretap renewals the f.b.i. also admitted that some of the informants were paid for their information though didn't go into specific detail. the f.b.i. also concluded that the specific amounts of payments made to intelligence sources reflected in the records is classified intelligence method information without adequate context the particular amount paid to a particular intelligence source could be viewed to suggest the relative volume of information provided by a particular source legal analyst jennifer britton give us her thoughts on the newly disclosed information and its bearing on the f.b.i.'s surveillance of quarter page. f.b.i. themselves the state in an analysis that the scale dossier just they had medium confidence in that so there has to be some kind of a barrier a bridge to show why something that they had medium confidence and why it was an absolutely inevitably push through because

in the 2016 election cycle when her husband met with christopher steele about the infamous trump dossierer testimony to a house panel nellie ohr invoked spousal privilege. we are joined by a professor who has been watching this. thank you for coming on. i assume it's legitimate to invoke introducal privilege. sounds legitimate to me as a nonlawyer. what do you think she was hoping not say? >> it's rare to have a spousal claim raised with the advancement that women have been able to achieve. to have someone in an important position refuse to answer questions from the oversight committee returning to a spousal status is problematic. serious questions have been raised here. conflicts in the testimony that people have cited. with regard to her husband. what we have to find out is what is the real record? when were the contacts made? who were the people that presented the information that ultimately went to the fisa court? none of those questions are answered now. >> tucker: you make a good point. if she is saying she can't answer question to oversight body because it's her husband and they a

there was hillary clinton rugs collusion and it wasn't just her paying christopher steele and glenn simpson. she had on her payroll a lawyer feeding coming computer storage data as well as documents about alleged trump russia collusion to the fbi which was using this information. hillary clinton in many ways was behind the russia hoax with the help of course of james comey's fbi and obama's department of justice. david: then there is the question of rod rosenstein. the story came out that he and andy mccabe who was parts of the cabal with peter strzok. there is a story rosenstein and mccabe were at odds with each other. but it appears rosenstein's claim about being wired with the president was said? jest. now there is information that maybe it wasn't. is rosenstein in trouble? gregg: he's certainly in trouble. this is his standard excuse, when he's caught in engage in wrongdoing, he says my words were misinterpreted. this is a guy who should have recused himself at the outset. and mccabe demanded at a meeting and mueller is there, that rosenstein recuse himself. in my book i cite the number

to hire fusion gps which then hired christopher steele to write the unverified dossier.ered that sussman also met with james baker. he delivered information to him on a hard drive in hard copy about russia hacking. he was also apparently delivered to him a version from the dossier. what was most explosive was the fact that sussman himself who was working with perkins was passing information like a back channel similar to bruce ohr to james baker who delivered it to the counter-intelligence division. part of the imagination that the doj and fbi was trying to keep from the american people. they didn't want this information coming out. >> sean: a lot with held not to embarrass themselves in the name of national security. >> absolutely. >> sean: wasn't there an attempt here to show members of the elite were involved -- they wanted retribution for the firing of comey. >> that's right. the american people will be stunned tomorrow about the high level official in the doj. >> sean: alan dershowitz. i know you as a person. i know that politics is not bean ball. it's a blood sport

his firm, perkins coie, and fusion gps, the smear emergence behind with glenn reynolds, the christopher steele, phony dossier, that they used, they being the justice department and the fbi, to secure warrants for wiretaps from the fisa court. >> well, this is what's so incredible. this is the -- another big explosive part of james baker's testimony. he basically offered up, according to sources that i've spoken with, this relationship with michael susman, attorney for perkins coie, a cutout for the democratic national committee and the hillary clinton campaign that actually paid for fusion gps to investigate the alleged collusion between donald trump and russia. lou: for an estimated $12 million. >> absolutely. an estimated $12 million. and what we know is that michael susman delivered a hard drive and hard copy documents based on the russia hacking investigation to james baker. he basically delivered documents, possible offshoot of the dossier to james baker. james baker takes information and delivers it to the head of the counterintelligence division, none other than peter strzok working in

and if you look at what christopher steele wrote, you can almost substitute stormy daniels for things the russians, trying to keep the russians quiet, trying to bee off people so none of this would come out during the course of the campaign. but the major part of this is going to be conspiracy. conspiracy on the break in and conspiracy using social media to impress the clinton vote. >> a tough act to follow. >> so the earlier part has do with the fact we don't really know what's going on. we really have only one look of what's going on. >> and this is truly the october surprise or the november surprise or december, who knows. who knows when this report is going to come out. but it really is going to be remarkable to see how this factors into the mid-terms, how this effects each of the bases. i think from a legal standpoint, i think every legal expert would agree it is the conspiracy that is much more likely to be the type of charge rather than collusion, which again is this word that's been concocted -- >> you put it in together. you wouldn't charge obstruction of justice. >> but also

who was christopher steele talking to? i want to know all of the russians that fusion gps interviewed, got information from, funneled into the democratic party. then the democratic party funneled to the fbi to open an investigation. that is what they should be looking at. maria: understood. >> i don't know what the hell they were looking at. maria: thank you very much, we will be watching. a big week. devin nunes joining us. after a wrenching debate, brett kavanaugh is sworn in as a supreme court justice. democrats say that the fight is not over. roy blunt will join next in an exclusive interview. stay with us. maria: welcome back. new supreme court justice, brett kavanaugh is preparing for his first week on the job. house democrats say they are not finished yet. donald trump jr. warning in a tweet, quote - trump supporters, you better believe the democrats will do everything in their power to impeach kavanaugh from supreme court if they take control of congress in november. yesterday, the top democrat on the house judicia

glen simpson refusing to address how he and dossier author christopher steele used bruce ohr as a channel to move the dossier into the fbi hands in 2016 before and after the presidential election. most importantly after the fbi fired steele as a hired source. simpson's attorney ignoring questions about simpson's criminal exposure. instead he blasted the house lawmakers who subpoenae subpoenn to appear before home. >> this committee would make senator joe mccarthy proud. like senator mccarthy, this committee has largely conducted its business through secret confidential interviews and depositions, binding witnesses and their counsels to silence while the members walk outside to all of you, the media, and the public and selectively leak from those interviews to tell you what they want you to hear. lou: there is great irony in his attorney's comments. our first guest tonight to discuss the legal jeopardy simpson may be facing because of his statement to congress about his work on the steele dossier and work with the justice department it seems, congressman jim diswror dan serving on the judi

they then hired a foreign national, a spy, by the name of christopher steele. he dug up russian dirt. never corroborated. he even said that the contents of the dossier were unverified atat best, and while in great britain under threat of perjury, he refused to stand by the validity of his own dossier, competence rating of only 50/50. lost in the chaos of the kavanaugh confirmation, we first learned that a lawyer working for the clinton campaign and the dnc was actually funneling some of this anti-unverified a russian lies and propaganda to the top lawyer at the fbi. james baker in 2016. this all came out "as federal investigators prepared a surveillance warrant for the trump campaign. remember, that was all based on the phone he dossier. baker, who you see they are first revealed his identity during a closed-door deposition with congressional investigators just last wednesday. of course, this is exactly what we have been telling you on this program and all along. we now have confirmation. so you have a top lawyer for the clinton campaign actively working with t

probably the most famous oppo researcher who has ever lived is christopher steele, the former mi-6 spyt produced the so-called steele dossier date -- paid for by democrats to investigate donald trump's ties to russia. all of this tends to happen away from public view and below the radar. in order for these attacks to be effective, it is better for the campaigns if it does not look as if they are partisan attacks. if you can take some of this information, give it to a reporter and say -- hey, i have a story about so-and-so's drunk driving arrest, for instance, or messy divorce, and get a reporter to agree that it is legitimately newsworthy and write their own story, then you have effectively laundered this attack through the mainstream media. that is something both sides try very hard to do. jason: another major factor in the november elections? carol: women. according to a new book, there has been an aggregation of rage over the past two years from the 2016 election to the me too movement, and happening right now with brett kavanaugh. jason: here is bloomberg's rebecca greenfield with
