clinton. irony of the mccabe situation is mccabe is accused of leaking and pushback to the justice department. saying that we are investigating hillary clinton. which happened to be accurate, but was not something he was supposed to be telling the newspapers. that's why he allegedly lied about leaking to it. mr. hice: would you say -- mr. fitton: there were some in the f.b.i. who wanted to do this. mr. hice: would you say it's somewhat -- at least calls -- causes some red flags for the justice department? it sounds what you're alleging is they were actively involve in trying to influence the election. mr. fitton: it sure does. i think this is an area that needs to be explored. i wish it had been explored think about congress. it wasn't sufficiently. i know there's pushback from the d.o.j. and i know there's all sorts of concerns about foreign interference in our elections. but when you have bureaucracies like a d.o.j. putting their thumbs on the scales, it's something both parties ought to be

you vote for bush or vote for clinton.inton, the democratic nominee. >> presidential debates are not only a show, they're a series of moments. the key is dominating a moment that can then be put on the morning shows and evening news and recycled. nowadays, it would be going viral. >> clinton's team are leaving nothing to chance. >> we got the stools, you know, like the one this is a would have to sit on. we practiced setting up like a runner in a starter's blocks. don't sit back, sit up like this, one leg on the rung and one foot on the floor and as soon as you can, spring out of the chair. spring out and go engage that audience member. >> we said, there will come a time, when you can walk up to somebody and really relate to them. that's exactly what you want to show the american people. >> we were so obsessed -- story admit this now, we stole those stools. >> that's right. they stole the stools. >> when we got to the debate hall, we took the one this is a were going to use and we put our stools out there, so that even his

clinton said he'd lost count. >> it's close. this is the clinton presidency.e want to do will not happen unless we approve this plan. >> as majority leader, i was very much concerned, obviously, about what the outcome was going to be. we needed 50 votes, and we were at 49. bob kerrey, senator from nebraska, he had genuine doubts. >> will you tell us what you're planning to do, senator? >> no. >> until he went to get up to speak in the senate, i wasn't sure what he was going to say. >> president clinton, if you're watching now, as i suspect you are, i tell you this. i could not and should not cast a vote that brings down your presidency. >> by the slimmest of all possible margins, the president saved his budget bill and the political clout of his administration. >> after 12 long years, we can say to the american people tonight we have laid the foundation for the renewal of the american dream. >> passing the budget was a victory because we didn't lose. but usually you could get one member from the other side. >> every single republican in the congress voted agai

clinton. the irony of the situation is mccabe is accused of leaking with pushback to say we are investigating hillary clinton which was accurate but not what he was supposed to be telling people so that is why he lied. but some in the fbi wanted to do this. >> where do you say that it causes some red flags for the justice department cracks it sounds like they were actively involved to influence the election. >> it sure does. this is an area that needs to be explored i wish it was by this congress. it was not sufficiently. there was pushback from the doj and pushback from foreign interference in the elections but with bureaucracy putting their thumbs on the scales that's what both parties ought to be concerned about because one day that issue will be on the other foot and we don't want them to be their own branch of government. >> this could be another way to ask a similar question why would the justice department try to pressure the fbi to stop a perfectly valid investigation crack. >> for pol

clinton got 43%.ortunately, we judge our presidents too much on whether they're a political success or not. there's also the question whether there is substantive success. i think on that score, bush gets higher marks. so domestically, he signed the americans disabilities act which changed the country. he was an environmentalist. hard to imagine any republican president as an environmentalist but he was with the clean water act extensions. and he showed great political courage when after having really made the mistake during the campaign of saying, "read my lips: no new taxes" which was a silly thing for him to say, he then raised taxes to cut the deficit and, of course, overseas was able to manage the end of the cold war. that could have gone very differently. we look at it in the large historical sweep with the soviet union crumbling, odds were that would end violently, were going to have a big war and partly because of george bush jsh nj.h were able to have peace in the late 1980s and early '90s. >

what people also don't here is julian assange doesn't like hillary clinton because hillary clinton wantedhim prosecuted for which he considered his misuse of national security data when he released some of the other material earlier. you would think the press would be saying wikileaks run by julian assange, who doesn't like hillary clinton. no. you would think they would say wikileaks, passing russian hacked content through. they didn't. we would interpret the content differently if we kept the tie to the source. something might say i like julian assange. i like russians. which time they might be more prudent of the content. some people might ask, why are they doing this? what is of interest in this? should some of this be discounted on the scripts because there's nothing comparable been done with donald trump. this is a like press leaking with a pestle fight anything it can from anybody and try to get out. this is asymmetric come happening only one side and it is taught to go. it is being used in this case to blunt the effects of "access hollywood" tape. which it effectively did that by

no surprise, jim, since you are a pal of the clintons.he most of shocking is comey's role in the theater of the absurd. a fake dossier paid for by a woman who is his friend running for president. and he is best friend with the special counsel in charge of the case. and he doesn't remember key details like the party who funded it in the most of blatant display of public corruption and personal political cover in american history. shame on you, jim. and that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook and twitter hashtag judge jeanine. congressman darrell issa was there yesterday and joins me now. what struck you yesterday in that room yesterday with comey pontificating to you guys. >> unless he has early onset of alzheimer's, there is no way you can write two things. either he wasn't doing his job and he wasn't paying attention or he per injured himself about -- just perjured himself about things he knew and said he didn't know. saying you don't know when you do is perjury. he did a lie of amnesia rather than simply not telling us the

hillary clinton, secretary of state?of 9 people signing off on sending 20% of our uranium which is the foundational material for nuclear weapons to the hostile regime of russia, the hostile actor of vladimir putin? in 2015 "the new york times" reported, "now they announced their intention to acquire a majority stake. he received $5,000 in russia for a speech for a russian investment bank. the same lengths to make the kremlin, and it gets even more sketchy during the transfer of uranium one to russia. the clinton foundation received a millions and millions of dollars from the very people involved in the deal. by the way, in the lead up to this, and we had an fbi informant inside of pollutants in network right here in america and he was telling the fbi what he was witnessing. serious, serious issues. here's what he told me when we had the opportunity to talk to this informant. >> at some point you became aware that russia wanted to get a foothold in in the uranian industry and they were looking at this conglomeration that

and the clinton foundation. now the stories have come out that john put out there that are incredible. there's hundreds of pages of documents that a whistle-blower has turned over to congress. several whistle-blowers. we also know that general flynn, incredibly did not lie to the fbi agents. that came out of comey's own mouth. some way mueller twisted his arm and got him to admit to a count of lying so he could drag this honorable man through the wringer. take away his ability to defend himself publicly. what we need now though is a special counsel, a second special counsel to investigate this. this is coming from lawmakers on the hill, from attorneys that have been very well-read on this issue, whether william barr, whether he gets nominated, becomes the new attorney general, whether he will appoint a second special counsel is vitally important now. the american people deserve to know the truth and the people that violated the laws, including foreign intelligence surveillance court, when they violated both the

you were friends with the clintons at one point. you have to give it to them they seem to skate every single time. >> my position is if you're going to finish as i think we should the mueller investigation, why wouldn't we want balance to look at the issues that have been now credibly raised? i'm not passing judgment on anything, sean. what is fair is fair. >> sean: do you agree you remember rain yum one is trouble some, phony the clinton bought and paid for dossier that christopher steele doesn't stand by, do those bother you? >> yeah, they do. look, i've read the dossier. that it was. >> sean: ridiculous. >> but together by the clinton campaign, paying millions of dollars for it. and used as a basis for fisa warrants, is a troubling thing to me that i think -- >> sean: troubling? >> it is. yeah. >> sean: the guy who wrote it doesn't stand by it, we now learned this week in john solomon's investigative report, larry elder, not only that our own intelligence community had questions but they still used it as the basis and bulk of inf

he can't control bill clinton.ple are trying to stop him from mingling personal business with the foundation. he makes the most provocative statement saying i know where all of the bodies are buried in the clinton foundation. this give this to the justice department of donald trump in october 2017. in early 2018 they were called by the fbi at little rock and provide the evidence to them. the main apparatus, the fbi and the justice department have access to all of these allegations of wrongdoing. >> sean: you were talking about 6,000 pages and 95 exhibits. a 48-page subcommission. -- subcommission. mission. how has this been sitting for a year. we already know the issue of hillary clinton's violation of the espionage act having that mom and pop shop server. top secret information on it. that's a violation of espionage act. the obstruction of justice deleting emails and washed her hard drive clean. they skate every time. you are describing systematic violations of every charitiable contribution law imaginal including

bill clinton. who was focused entirely on people's lives in america and anxiety they were feeling. .e was defeated for reelection that was a really painful defeat for him. it took him some time to get over it. in one of those remarkable turns he and bill clinton later became such good friends. of timeu has been a lot with the bush family. you have a book coming out soon about former first lady barbara bush. what role did barbara bush play during the george h w bush presidency? caller: it is interesting. i think barbara bush took pains to not make it clear how much influence she had. she had a divisional approach that he was the president and she was not. in that way, a great contrast to the equal partnership that we so publicly with the clintons. behind the scenes, she was enormously influential. she was influential in ways that we knew. her focus on adult illiteracy. the cause that she pushed for most of her adult life. she was also influential on things like pushing the president to do more to ad

just days afterwards he reached out to president bill clinton.he two of them had a lunch, 90 minutes or so, in washington. they both ate a bit of humble pie, we are told, and buried the hatchett and then it just grew from there. one of the key things that happened is he asked and tasked both president clinton and his father to try to come up with in february 2005 a relief effort for the tsunami that hit southeast asia killing tens of thousands of people a massive effort, whether or not they would be able to raise money as well. they were able to raise millions and millions of dollars in that effort. this was just after -- shortly after his first term and then months later is when katrina hit. that was in late august and again he tasked his father and president clinton to try to raise private donations to try to help out in that relief effort. at the time he was undergoing a great deal of criticism for his administration's slow response to hurricane katrina. those two presidents sat down with me at the white house at the time and defended his admi

wars and blue america has not either spirit can you imagine the nineties without the clintons? . >> it is mind blowing because so much of those voters who could not fathom the idea of supporting hillary clinton but that counterfactual. >> i am a big fan of yours. the country has gone through a period of time that has been very polarized and at this time now how do you see that getting out of the polarization coming back together do you see any hope for that or in the crystal ball? . >> it has not held up well the last two years i can tell you that. but if i had the answer how does this all work out in a better way? as i was researching the book but here is a better place it could end up going. except there is an argument to be made human nature as human beings we are hardwired to think tribally and the way media has involved has really tapped into that innate human tribalism but through those aspects that looks for something better and in 20 years look back at politics as an ugly but ultimately necessary bridge to something better.

lawyer over at the clinton foundation.the hunt continues, we can report good news to you tonight. a few on the left are actually finally being held accountable. tomorrow, james comey, he will not testify under oath in front of the house judiciary committee meant he will have a lot to answer for, and much of it surrounds lieutenant general michael flynn. after all, remember, comey, mccabe, peter strzok, all stated that flynn did not appear to them to be lying. now flynn ultimately pled guilty to that charge, which stemmed from our federal government illegally, watch? surveillance, unmasking, no minimize agent,al and then leakg raw intelligence on his international communications. so what did comey know about that illegal unmasking? and leaking raw intelligence? while comey prepares for the hot seat, two other anti-trump operatives are in hot water tonight. the ap is reporting that democratic lobbyist tony podesta, the brother of clinton campaign chair john podesta, along with obama's former white house counsel, greg craig,

interviewed hillary clinton. didn't take notes, didn't record it.r that the members of congress got out of comey. they didn't ask her about bill clinton's meeting with loretta lynch. they didn't ask her about the bleach bit. the questions that anybody would ask her were not asked by peter strzok and recall that lisa page said to him be careful, she is going to be our new boss. she said she should win the election 100 million to 0 before he interviews her. >> bill: from your piece quote number two. comey, now leading the charge against flynn from the sidelines you write, admits with bravado broke the rules. and far worse gave hillary clinton all the breaks in the world with just a scolding and setting up secret surveillance of the trump campaign for reasons still unclear. >> bill: i will add on your piece not once -- not once you write did new york state officials display any curiosity about a potential wrongdoing. whatever the clintons did was good enough for them end quote. >> you see that with the foundation and neither the new york state attorney

on the clinton foundation side, we know that money was transferred to the clintons. we know they agreed to disclose donors, that they hid the donation. you can find the $20 donation of mary smith in arkansas but the $2 million from a russian observed uranium company was not disclosed. they lied about meeting with journalists that took place. only when the journalists showed them the photographs that they admitted what happened. we have an investigation by simpson thatcher that talked about there was a pay-to-play expectation by big donors. this will further confirm what we have already known. for the life of me, how you can launch an investigation based on the steele dossier, which comey admitted was unverified but look at this other body of information and say, well, there's nothing to see here proves the point that tom made earlier. justice seems to be certainly not balanced and seems to be partisan. >> so a pay for play offer to foreigners from a foundation run by the secretary state. that is in a criminal category, is it not? >> absolutely. people make this mista

maybe even at 8:57 e.m., and clinton would show up when he did. he said it clearly bothered clinton that he was always keeping bush waiting so one day at about 8:55 a.m., he came downstairs excitedly like he wa going to beat bush into the car into the limousine taking them around the bush, not knowing this, not doing this on purpose had gotten to the car at 8:50 a.m. he said the look of disappointment on his face when he looked in the car and though he beat me again. one thing that bush very much respected because they were traveling around in a presidentialid jet was the deference that bill clinton showed him and that clinton, bush was considerably older, always insisted that george h w bush have the presidential cabi and sleep in the presidential bed and clinton would find the couch on air force one or sleep on the floor. he always paid respect and you know, went to great pains to make sure that bush 41 was comfortable. >> as we watch this treasure trove of memories we have. all these pictures. you see there the banner from the kuwaiti people an

i truly believe the clinton foundation is a charity fraud.e go to jail for charity fraud or congressman -- just got 10 years for charity fraud. trish: listen if in fact it is or was than they deserve to pay the price for a pretty hairy on the timing and everything mallory is just been out there for so long. i have covered some of these cgi effects and cgi for example in the international one-day one they hold here in new york city. i'm really struck by how many sketchy folks are there. mallory, you get it right? you get this order free pass. mallory if he were still with us do you have any perspective on the whole cgi event itself on the amount of money they charge of people coming from all over the world. theoretically that's a good thing but sadly you are getting a stamp of approval that you are paid for from the clintons. >> i c think that's a charity events work. people pay a lot of money usada have dinner with celebrity guests and people who are of some sort of importance in some way or another this would be absolutely no different tradi

what are you doing with clinton? and just because you run against someone does not mean you have to be enemies. politics does not have to be mean and ugly. >> i've never liked really tough talking too much about my own service. it was like everybody else in the country that was doing what he thought was right. but on a personal basis, the fact that i was flying in come back to you off a carrier makes the excitement of the naming of this new ship for me even greater than it would have been. i always they did that kind of thing for dead guys and here i am. i'll eat broccoli if i make it for another 45 years. words should come easily and in short, it should be simple to tell you how desperately happy i was to open the paper and see the announcement of our engagement but can't say all i'd like to. to know you love me means my life. how often i've thought about one day and how lucky our children to have a mother like you. >> do you think about dying? >> a little bit. not a lot. it doesn't scared me. it used to. when i was

i had always heard that bill clinton had his own time. clinton standard time. he does., on the other hand, am compulsively on time. and two other attributes bush immediately noticed, both clinton's energy -- >> you should have seen him going town to town, country to country, the energizer bunny here. he killed me. >> and love of talking. >> i soon realized as the trip got under way if we got in a bind for things to say or answers to be given to questions, it was reassuring to know that he was de man. >> president clinton was a phenomenal talker. he could talk and talk and talk and president bush would listen and listen and listen and be the straight person for the jokes. >> but bush too could try for a laugh from clinton. writing to him after clinton nodded off at a martin luther king day sermon. "i could indeed feel your pain," bush wrote, invoking clinton's famous catchphrase. have i been there myself, more than once, i might ade, and it physically hurt as i tried to keep my eyes open. two political opposites who shared a common bond of the presidency and a unique fri

bill clinton?> bill clinton is still a very strong leader within the party, but we just need to ensure that our candidates are able to talk to all voters across every economic spectrum and not just limit the conversation to a handful of people. >> so is that a yes? >> i think bill clinton will continue to be a voice of reason within the democratic party. >> but he's not gonna be leading the charge. >> you know what? the good news is that there are so many wonderful candidates out there who, in addition to being like bill clinton in terms of messaging, they are strong enough to carry their states and to help carry the party into the future. >> is he too compromised because of his past with women? >> i'm not going to run the democratic party, but i'll tell you, every president from jimmy carter to barack obama to bill clinton, they're an asset to the democratic party, and they are an asset to our great country. >> so, you're a consultant. if you were hired to come consult republican candidates or if

what he had to say about bill clinton. >> president clinton beat me like a drum in 1992. then we became friends. and some of his friends look at him and say have you lost it with this crazy guy? some of mine look at it and say it's the same thing. what are you doing? and just because you run against someone doesn't mean you have to be enemies. politics is not have to be mean and ugly. >> so that of course is speech in new orleans back in 2009. george h.w. bush said he beat me like a drum. and indeed clinton did. but went onto become such close friends. this is something the passing of the torch of presidents. we over the next coming days mark every chapter and moment of the life and service of george h.w. bush. it is a passing of the time for american presidents. there will never be another american president of course who served in world wa 2. may never be another american president who had as much as military service as he did. this was something that was within him. of course. that allowed him to not only be friend but work and alongside clinton. this is something -- w

foundation you know peter schweitzer when he put together his book clinton cash talks about and a lot of it came out at that time about the foreign governments that were being giving money to the clinton foundation while hillary clinton was secretary of state we know multiple governments did that and these were very large sums and at least one of those governments did so in violation of an agreement that hillary clinton had with the obama administration that she would not take money from that particular government. and yet they did so you know listen this whole thing is very messy to begin with but the idea that trump is somehow this monster in the way he was using it compared to the way that you could argue that the clintons used it and abused it much more deeply when you're a and not being secretary of state and you have a foundation and foreign governments or donating to that foundation you know that's one thing that i've never quite understood why that wasn't looked at and why that shouldn't be a bigger issue especially where someone who might be president doesn't put you in a bad

it was the attorney general and the former president, bill clinton, whose wife, candidate hillary clinton, was under investigation for mishandling classified information. it came as sort of the fever pitch of the investigation, just shortly before hillary clinton would be interviewed. that tarmac meeting was the subject of a justice department inspector general's investigation. in that investigation, lynch's senior counselors testified that lynch felt that this was a terrible mistake and an unforced error on her part. that the optics were really regrettable. bill clinton said he had thought about the optics, having the meeting was lynch. but he decided that we should live in an era where a former president can't at least have a brief conversation and shake hands with the current attorney general. separately, republicans also want additional information about the issue that was at the heart of the fbi's investigation into hillary clinton's emails. whether other senior members of the administration where sharing emails with her on that unsecured, unclassified server, including then-presiden

the clinton impeachment was wrong. the only impeachment that was correct never came to fruition, het is nixon, because engaged in destruction of evidence, paying hush money to .itnesses, a woman and telling his subordinates to lie to the fbi, independent crimes and not within the president's authority under article 2. that was the only appropriate case for impeachment and he would have been impeached had he not resigned. host: is there a concise definition for absorption of justice -- obstruction of justice? guest: no. it is an open-ended statute that can be expanded, a dangerous statute and i would never approve on an object -- statute,on of justice i want them to say what constitutes a crime, namely destroying evidence, etc. there is no definite definition. i go back to the principle i talked about earlier, when you interpret a criminal statute, you have to interpret it as ambiguity in a way that favors the defendant and not expansion of the statute. one thing not covered by instruction of justice is presidents exerc

in fact president clinton did that. and china was admitted to the world trade organization by the end of this term. andhat sort of encapsulated in the famous note he left on the note of bill clinton that bill clinton found on his first day in office. where he said, bill, president now. i'm routing for you. your success is america's success. i think that reflects the the ethos of george h. w. bush. >> madam secretary, do you want to weigh in on that? i heard you a little bit in there? but h really has a remarkable legacy, does he not. >> h really does. and some of this shows his uality and strength of characte he could be a tough minded andh decisive necessary, but always gracious and kind at the same time. this is leadership to me. and what he did with respect to getting the chinati.s. reship back on an even keel was leadership. and tt is what presidents do. and he did it without seeming to doing anything sometimes. >> right. ffortlessly.ook but he did. >> right. >> the great quality of this man i'm honored to have serv

i voted for hillary clinton. ed -- i would've written a book called the case against impeaching him and clinton. the frame errors of the constitution set out criteria for impeachment. you have to be convicted based on evidence of either bribery, treason or other high crimes and misdemeanors and at least at the moment i have not seen sufficient evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors to call for the impeachment of the president, who i voted against. i made the same case when bill clinton was impeached. i did not think they had sufficient constitutional basis for impeaching him. i'm a neutral objective nonpartisan civil libertarian who analyzes constitutional and legal issues without regard to whether it helps or hurts republicans or democrats. that is what i will continue to do. dedication in your book. this book is respectfully dedicated to an endangered species you write, general -- genuine civil libertarians who pass the shoe on the other foot test. guest: simply a variation of the golden rule. what i ask of a
