caught destroying ballots too soon during the twenty sixteen reelection bid by democratic rep debbie wasserman schultz now debbie wasserman schultz's name is synonymous with corrupt in her party practices from back when she was d.n.c. chief and favored hillary clinton over burning. republicans are quick to remember that scandal now even if former florida governor jeb bush who appointed brenda snipes wants her out there is no question the broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law multiple counts supervisors snipes should be removed from her office following the recounts however jeb bush is reputation isn't exactly clean either many of the cues to him of delivering florida for his brother back in two thousand by purging the voter rolls thank you very much. and god bless america so no matter who ends up winning the midterm elections in florida or the two thousand and twenty presidential vote one thing is pretty clear florida may have a very good reputation for weather but it's not so hot when it comes to counting votes kaleb moppet artsy new york early on mond

>> sure, i ran for congress in democratic with debbie wasserman schultz, i had to sue brenda snipes theervisor of election, a close ally of debbie wasserman schultz, they campaigned together just a couple of weeks ago and i sued, we won, we showed that she destroyed the ballots, that's violations of federal and criminal statutes, some are felonies, she lied to the court and really conspired with her own staff to commit the crimes. heather: so hearing you say that, this was 2016, she violated numb race state -- numerous federal states and statutes, why is she still in charge? >> that's a great question and i called on governor scott many months ago to fire her to conduct a criminal investigation and not just governor scott, reached out to florida attorney general, florida department of law enforcement, the u.s. attorney could not be bothered, these are federal offenses as well and i warned at the time if they didn't prosecute her or remove her from office she would be a walking flown, moral hazard problem, she would engage in this kind of illegal activity in the future and we would lose

debbie wasserman schultz likes brenda snipes but that shouldn't be surprising because just two years o snipes gave wasserman schultz a boost by dashed ballots. complaining about misconduct? as christian gillibrand explained today, complaining is a form of voter suppression. >> we are seeing what's happening in georgia, florida, across this country where votes -- a right to vote is being fundamentally undermined. >> everyone is less believable than her. craig petrick's chief investigator at fox in tampa bay. he joins us for the second night in a row. >> first you had election managers having trouble keeping track with all of the ballots flying in and now they may have trouble keeping track of all the lawsuits flying in because you look at nelson, and there are nine different lawsuits, and we are just in the first phase of this recount possibly with much more to come. there was signs of things bogging down, though i wouldn't take too much stock in the state court giving palm beach county a five day extension to complete the machinery count, that's ultimately something that may be weighe

debbie wasserman schultz, marc elias and brenda snipes.ias is the common denominator with every 2016 election scandal that we saw. people don't really talk about this. but he was the general counsel for both the clinton campaign and the dnc before clinton was the nominee. and that really gets to the heart of what they did to bernie sanders. is they were supposed to be running a neutral primary and they were operating as adjunct of clinton's campaign in brooklyn. and marc elias was basically the guy who brought them together. is he actually has laundered money for them essentially. when they were doing something super sketchy that they wanted to hide from the federal election commission they would pay his law firm it wasn't for legal work. he turned around and hired g.p.s. and paid the family. ed: dnc was supposed to be neutral in the primary. >> right. so these people are election riggers. they screw over democrats as well as republicans. that's how bad it is. and they did it to bernie sanders and, you know, down in broward county they did

. >>> i want to bring in democratic congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz. her district includes parts of broward county. congresswoman, thank you so much for being here. >> you're welcome, ana, my pleasure. >> president trump accuses democrats of trying to, quote, steal this election. he has pointed directly to your county and alleged fraud. your governor, rick scott, has done the same. listen. >> every floridian should be concerned there may be rampant fraud happening in palm beach and broward counties. we've all seen the incompetence and irregularities in broward and palm beach for years. here we go again. i will not sit idly by while unethical liberals try to steal this election from the great people of florida. their goal is to keep mysteriously finding more votes until the election turns out the way they want. >> to be clear, florida's secretary of state says there's no evidence of criminal activity. but congressman, you know the history. how is it broward county is at the center of florida election controversy yet again, and do you worry that the publ

2016. >> actually the same primary where she got in trouble for destroying the ballots with debbie wasserman schultz there has been a whole, you know, a whole thing, even dating back to 2004 that she has received criticism over. and it's not just from republicans. >> brian: lisa, not only is she doing a bad job. almost anybody else in the state could be doing a better job. so i ask the governor's office, i said why isn't she fired? they said it's a lot harder to fire somebody if they are elected. it's much more complicated than let's say you or i. we can get fired right away. i guess it's a little different there. bottom line is that's where the focus is extremely blue area. you cannot blame the scott camp for being worried. final thought? >> well, she could have removed her for incompetence. there is precedent for that the person that was in that job before her was removed for that very reason. my understanding that's really not the approach of rick scott administration. but i think it's very clear she is incompetent and there is a lot of questions regarding what she is doing in broward county. >>

because in 2016 a judge called her out for destroying ballots that benefited her friend debbie wasserman-schultzso election night broward reports thousands of votes, and now there are reportedly thousands more votes. you are kidding, right? a primer. every county is supposed to hand in all early voting and absentee balance lots within 30 minutes of the polls closing. most of kansas city already count those ballots before election night. but now in a lawsuit brought against miss snipes, governor scott argues miss snipes is refusing to cooperate. the court ordered miss snipes to turn over record detailing how she counts ballots. snipes is refusing to turn over the record, saying it's inappropriate for a court into the screen this time simply because scott wants the counting process sped up. what is even more outrageous is after snipes destroyed ballots illegally in the 2016 election. her premature destruction of the ballots in a pending lawsuit was described as unlawful and in violation of the public records act. that court in 2016 cited a similar case where the individual was dismissed, saying di

ballot or the typical ballot we see shows the nelson scott race and below it, debbie wa debbie wasserman schultz>> it's hard to determine if it's the result of nefarious conduct or some level of ineptitude. >> there's no evidence yet that we ecan see so far that there is s some of fraud going on. i think we're going to have to wait and see. i think florida officials are go to tiej have to look at how they fix it in some way shape or form so we're not in this position again. year watching florida and arizona very closely and right now we have a foo-seat majority and might not seem like a lot out of 100. that is the difference between obamacare repeal passing and failing. the president just got rid of jeff sessions. he's been talking about cleaning houses and those two votes are critical in term oz of replacing hacandidate and getting people unfirms. >> how does this end? >> this ends very badly for someone and it's going to end badly for brenda snipes i think. it's going to end with the spread bieng even closer thaj it is now. if the numbers change, it's gering to give rise to more phoney conspir

she destroyed ballots illegally, and she destroyed ballots involving debbie wasserman-schultz. people say florida has all these problems. florida as a whole doesn't have the problems. we have 67 counties. miami-dade is more prop has than broward. they didn't have a single problem. bay county which got hit by hurricane michael, they had their results done. it's broward and palm beach. and they tarnished the image of the state. judge jeanine: are you going to let this woman go? >> i am going to take office on january 8. i ran on accountability. i encourage your viewers to follow my administration when i get in. judge jeanine: you were all over the email scandal and all of that stuff with the russian hoax and russian collusion. are you going to miss that stuff when you go to florida? >> i didn't know if we would be in the majority or minority. the fact that we are in the minority, i think it will be tough in the house. a lot of the work we were doing unfortunately will come to an end when the new congress convenes. the democrats won't want to hold anybody accountable for any of th

she basically destroyed the votes -- lou: debbie wasserman-schultz is from broward county and she isr of the dnc who was thrown out for corruption? ed: yes. and she was challenged a few years ago, and the challenger wanted to go post election and they destroyed all the ballots. ed: no one got fired. lou: what happens here? >> i think it will be two weeks, a real battle similar to 2010. lou: will it be one side or will the republican attorneys show up. ed: we are two weeks away from this thing being resolved. lou: whose favor? >> i hope in our favor because we obviously won on election day. lou: election day doesn't include early voting. stalin said you can vote, let me count. ed: you get into the holidays and people pay less and less attention. president trump: chain today would have superseded us in two years as an economic power. now they are not even close. just remember we are the bank. and everybody wants to steal from and plunder. it can't be that way anymore. we are going to end the theft of american intellectual property. crack down on china's trade abuses, and confront count

this isn't the first time in 2016 with debbie wasserman schultz, there were legal pleadings and conclusions that laid out the destruction of ballots in the democratic primary. was that incompetence or stupidity or corruption? who knows but time and again we have election irregularities in this one place and it's poisons the integrity of the entire sunshine state. that's why we want state officials to come in and have a transparent open process where we can have the recounts without all the shenanigans. >> harris: are you saying that 80,000 votes have suddenly been found? >> when we looked at the total number of votes recorded by the supervisor on election site, -- political reported that at an elementary school that was a polling place, a library and walked out with a box of balloto counties. there is no chain of custody, there are videos of ballots being moved in and out of trucks. >> harris: it's not likely that 80,000 would have been in one box. how do you find that? how do you get to 80? >> its outrageous end of the thing is, there are certain checks and balances in the process on elect

that was the one with debbie wasserman schultz. that is what, i mean that is what the court ordered she had broken the law by destroying those ballots. >> look, there is no question that they have managerial, operational problems over there. you know there is no question about that. i'll tell you something, as a voter in broward county, i want my vote counted and i want my supervisor of elections to do her job. that is clearly not happening. but the bigger point is, this is not a mass conspiracy about fraud. those allegations have to stop because they don't help. melissa: okay for idiocy but not for fraud. >> no. that is not what i'm saying. our state need as statewide commission to investigate how every county does elections starting with broward. there are problems, no question about that, but fraud and crime and evil is different from incompetence. that's the point. melissa: well, i mean, when incompetence carries you this far after a while could you say so many people be so dumb for so long? it does stretch credulity. >> i abso

political aisle because she was mess in her direction there and a previous democrat primary, debbie wasserman schultz, people on the democrat side of the line have been victims in this situation. >> the fact of the matter is, the way my dad told me when i was a kid, the party in power points with pride and the party out of power views was a growing alarm. these people have their talking points, at least that's what happened in 2000. i think what happened is i think the governor didn't really feel he could remove her from office, i think he was sensitive to the fact that she had been appointed by governor bush and also he didn't want to disrupt that appointment and the electoral process but the fact is that the job seems to be beyond her for whatever reason. she just can't do it. >> harris: two questions about recusal and removal. governor is now in a position where people are asking whether he should recuse himself. what do you about that? >> there's no reason for him to be approaching that issue. he's the governor. the fact of the matter is at this point in time, i don't see recusal as being an issu

she was sued for leaving amendments off the ballot, she also, in the case of debbie wasserman schultzwhy is this person even working there? >> what i have done, i have asked for an investigation -- we have examples -- the palm beach supervisor won't allow normal party officials that are supposed to be reviewing ballots,ll they are not allowing them to do it properly, that is a violation of the law. they're supposed to report these results, they are not. but how did they come up with 70,000 moreon votes? just in broward, 15,000 and palm beach. no other counties have these problems. we had a horrible hurricane in the panhandle, it didn't happen there. the lawyers came down and said -- they are here to win the election, not here to say, i want to find out what the results are and make sure it is a fair result. they're down here for one reason, and they said that, to win the election. >> sean: 27 days ago, the panhandle was smashed with one of the worst hurricanes we have seen. they got their votes in on time, they ended up doing this. i cannot -- to me, this is the single biggest abuse o

in another case, tim canova who is the candidate who twice now ran against debbies wasserman schultz, he thought suspicious happened with the race. first he tried to request to see the ballots and they wanted to charge him tens of thousands of dollars merely to look at them. he had to the hire a lawyer, negotiated it down and then brenda snipes' office destroyed the ballots. i believe there's a required 22 month detention period. in that lawsuit, the guy in charge of deciding when to follow the law and destroy state ballots versus federal ballots, he testified in a deposition he didn't know that the congressional race was a federal race. now, this is an elections office. it has one job. so this is the nature of that office. incidentally, if we had time, we would go through the parade of horribles in broward county. but i'm just telling you as a person who watches florida elections, as someone who is used to razor thin election margins, as someone who has had to write a lot about broward county, this one is a nightmare to deal with. >> phil, we had the president weigh in on a number of

there was the hack of the dnc and everything that happened with bernie sanders and debbie wasserman schultz and things you talked about extensively at the time. but there's an entirely separate hack. the john podesta hack was not tied to dnc. it was a hack of his gmail account. you pointed this out smartly in the time line, that happened around the time this alleged meeting occurred between manafort and assange in london. so you have a lot of smoke here and we're going to have to follow what comes out in court documents and comes out after last night, mueller's team promised us they would be filing some sort of an update to the court as far as those crimes and lies. that was the quote in those documents last night that you showed earlier, that manafort is alleged to have committed as far as this cooperation phase so we're going to find out exactly what it is that he may have been untruthful about. and then we'll really get a sense of what this is all about, chris. >> we're going to put this all together. as tom mentioned, jerome corsi who walked away from a plea deal facing potentially immi

they got debbie wasserman schultz, taken from the d.n.c. e-mail server. only included officials who were not there. john podesta was missing. so whoever stole the e-mail had john podesta. i said if i had podesta's e-mail i would keep them until the end and make it my october surprise. >> sean: deduced they had to have them because of the same server. >> same server. >> sean: let me go to "wall street journal" then. you said, "what i construct and what i testify to the grand jury is i believed i was creating a cover story for roger," meaning roger stone "because roger wanted to explain a tweet i earlier asked him about." by the way the special counsel knew this. they can tell virtually my key strokes on that computer. roger said that is not logical and said you were squeezed by mueller prosecutors when you said that. can you shed light on that? >> two points quickly. first of all, constantly pressed me about what roger thought. i said it was a shame that i didn't take a mind reading course at harvard but i can't tell you what somebody else is thinking. lis

was lost by democrats, we he thought he had been treated unfairly prayed he ran against debbie wasserman schultz in the primary. to have a recount. during that recount, she signed a document saying these ballads are okay to destroy. there is no court out of it. that's why they had election supervisors visiting, like a sub-saharan country that has election problems. if the deal with that in broward county. >> melissa: that's was amazing. everything you are talking about happened before the selection. lo and behold, the focus comes back to the same problems in this area. >> harris: while phil keating was supporting, i was going back to my notes be really familiar with the words "over vote" and "underfoot." remember, back in 2000, gore, bush, the recount -- i don't know what role he was playing in terms of these, but, yes. the under vote is what they are concerned with again. did something get missed? in machinery? were votes left out? where their votes left at a school in a back room? there is some really interesting stuff going on across more than one state. you've got georgia, too, that is in th

finally, in 2016, the 23rd congressional district race between debbie wasserman schultz and tim -- landed brenda snipes in court. he asked to physically inspect broward county's votes but brenda snipes' office had destroyed the physical copies and only kept digital copies. a violation of the law stating physical copies must be kept for 22 months after an election. governor? mike: thank you, trace. our next guest saw his lead evaporate seemingly overnight. here to tell us about the lawsuit that he just filed is florida state representative mack caldwell, republican candidate for agriculture commissioner. matt, why did you feel the need to file the lawsuit? >> well, thank you, governor, and you said it earlier. i am steaming mad about this. we went to bed tuesday night with a 40,000 vote lead and over the course of the last three days, the broward county supervisor has continued to find magic bags of ballots that have turned that into a 3,000 vote loss. it's really spectacular, and, you know, the voters deserve to have a straight answer. there are eight million people roughly that voted in

the history goes back, courts have ruled against her for destroying ballots in case with debbie wasserman schultzthat was a democratic primary. there were no republicans involved in that at all. that is one of the many different things that have happened, yet she continued to be reelected. how has that happened? >> well just because someone is either stupid or corrupt doesn't mean that they can't get the most votes. so i mean she has been reelected but in instances where there is misfeasance or malfeasance in florida, the governor has the constitutional power to suspend that official. here we now have an independent judge that has ruled that brenda snipes has violated the constitution. i think after someone has to throw a flag on you for violating the constitution, you should not get to continue counting the ballots. we should bring in someone who has got a little more credibility to instill the confidence. melissa: i want to tell viewers while listening to the voice of matt gaetz we're talking about what is going on in florida right now, you're watching on your screen, there is the president and

vice president joe biden, ex-cia director john brennan, congressmembers maxine waters and debbie wasserman-schultz, liberal activists tom steyer and george soros, actor robert deniro, and cnn's main office building in manhattan. at the supreme court, newly seated justice brett kavanaugh appeared receptive tuesday to the arguments of a condemned missouri prisoner who says he's likely to experience extreme pain if he's subjected to a lethal injection. russell bucklew was scheduled to be executed last march before the high court agreed to hear his appeal. his attorneys argued at the supreme court tuesday that bucklew's rare medical condition could prevent a lethal injection drug from circulating properly through his veins, likely leading to a death so agonizing that it would violate the constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. the supreme court split 4-4 earlier this year on whether to allow the execution to proceed, meaning justice kavanaugh will likely cast the deciding vote in the case. and in wisconsin, where republican governor scott walker was defeated tuesday in his bid for a third
