not investigate, which is what i used to do at the department of justice. but evaluate in the highest standard of justice. march 2018, jeff sessions comes out and says guess who i have in charge of all of this. i had john huber whose the u.s. attorney. in charge of looking at all of these issues are uranium one and surveillance. and now, nine months later, not only has bruce or nellie ohr been interviewed, but my client says to send his regards has not been introduced. how can you even evaluate those two issues about talking in those three people? how? is a sham. lou: it's a cover-up from start to finish. >> i'm appalled. lou: it is your home. americans, all of us depend on a us to be something that it once was, but is obviously no longer. for jeff sessions the other day to say he will not be swayed by political considerations at the department of justice when all that is moving the department of justice seems to be politics and corrupt politics at that and efforts to subvert this president, his administration and simple decency of every corner. it is a rogu

so the department of justice is the streets. so the department of justice is committed to helping officers stay safe by providing facts about how to avoid the harm that can come from exposure to dangerous drugs such as fentanyl. last year, preliminary data showed that 29,000 americans were killed by synthetic opioids. that's a six-fold increase over four years. as i mentioned, much of the overall increase in drug overdose deaths can be attributed specifically to the surge of fentnal which we know is being imported largely from china, much of it through mexico, and we need to do everything we can not just to prosecute domestic traffickers but to work with our foreign partners to try to stem the supply of o these dangerous drugs. safeguards oper safeguards are not taken these can endanger officers against even small against even small quantities. they pose potentially fatal risks if they're inhaled or come in contact with the eyes or mouth. so it's important to educate everyone about the practices that you should follow to minimize

general jeff sessions took a serious swipe at president trump claiming he would not allow the department of justice to be influenced by politics, the president fired back and the wayward age urging him to live up to his word and investigate the anti-trump corruption within the justice department. we'll take that up and more with former federal prosecutor sidney powell. >>> also tonight, was bruce orr acting in a more nefarious way than we initially thought? assuming that's possible. new reports claim orr bypassed d.o.j. leadership and went directly to the fbi with information he received from the dirty phony anti-trump dossier author christopher steele. we'll dive into the deep state and tackle the corruption within the d.o.j. with judicial watch's chris farrell. >>> and the president under attack from radical dims who continue to float the notion they may seek to impeach if they take back the house. >> we shouldn't look the other way on impeachment but until we're in the majority, should focus on those issues, and if we win in november, conduct all of the investigations the republicans have been c

where he said that jeff sessions has lost control of the justice department. this is response to that. because he says i took control of the department of justice the day i was sworn in. so it's a direct response to that. and it basically says three things. number one, it praises the people in the justice department. number two, he says he won't be subject to improper political influence. and then the other thing that's notable about it, it's something that jeff sessions does every time he ever appears in public. he praises the president. so even though this is a response to the president, he also says "i'm carrying out the president's agenda. i think you have to say there's probably no cabinet member who is more faithful about -- in every public appearance, praising the president, saying he wants to do the president's agenda on fighting violent crime. but to chuck rosenberg's point, you know, jeff sessions has taken a lot of hits from the president ever since the president was elected on twitter, in public statements, and this statement is very interesting in

he feels when he sees the double standard between the department of justice on the clintons and his department of justice. >> jason: chris, are you suddenly a fan of attorney general sessions? are you in his corner, rooting him on? >> [laughs] well, you know, prior to this, i have never agreed with jefferson sessions once. i disagree with him on about 75 fronts but when all is said and done, jefferson sessions has -- i am with him on this issue. he should be true to the office he has taken. >> jason: do you really think he had to recuse himself? this is a counterintelligence operation. there is nothing he had to recuse himself from. it was not a criminal investigation. >> he most certainly did, because he recuse yourself when there's appearance of a conflict. >> jason: chris, chris. then why doesn't rod rosenstein recuse himself and why doesn't james comey come forward with all of the conflicts of interest? if that is the standard, then rod rosenstein's name is on the fisa report. >> the president is making it up. if we had a congress that was half as interested as you were when you were chair

justice department, jeff sessions. never took control the justice department and it's sort of an incredible thing. >> jason: jeff sessions fired back in a statement that said "i took control of the department of justice the day i was sworn in which is why we've had unprecedented success at effectuating the president's agenda. while i am attorney general, the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. i demand the highest standards, and where they are not met, i take action." pretty bold from the attorney general. my opinion not necessarily accurate.om in another development, fox news confirmed the department of justice prosecutors in manhattan have granted immunity to david pecker, the ceo of the company that publishes the "national enquirer." he reportedly has insidere knowledge of the payments to karen mcdougal and stormy daniels in exchange for their silence about alleged affairs with president trump. breaking moments ago, "the new york times" has a report that says the manhattan district attorney is considering charges against the trump organization and two sen

official who gave 17 years of his life to the justice department to see a justice department under sessions that will do nothing about this. we can put the recusal thing aside with jeff whose a friend of mine. how he's not taking up these investigations, it just kills me i mean these are investigations that are crying out to be looked at and turned into crime. meanwhile, they're fumbling around with this collusion thing that's a laugher. there was no collusion and no conspiracy with the russians involving donald trump; however, we know that the affidavit is false. we have the person who signed it why are we investigating that person? maria: is the president going to revoke any other security clearances? >> well if there are more like brennan he has every right to. brennan accused him of treason and just a few minutes ago i did an interview and listened to him and he basically says he has no evidence that the president committed a crime. he said well there was collusion which is no evidence but i don't know if it was a conspiracy that would make it

and the fbi during his rally tonight in indiana. >> our justice department and our fbi at the top of each, because inside they have incredible people. but our justice department and our fbi have to start doing their job and doing it right and doing it now. because people are angry. people are angry. what's happening is a disgrace, and at some point i want it to stay out, but at some point if it doesn't straighten out properly i will do their job. i will get in there. disgraceful. >> the president also hit on the wall, trade, immigration and ms-13 in his more than hour long speech. and of course he also took plenty of time to trash democrats and the media. >> today's democratic party is held hostage by left wing haters, angry mobs, deep state radicals, establishment cronies and their fake news allies. our biggest obstacle and their greatest ally actually is the media, you can believe it. we've got stories so big and the media doesn't pick them up. we have stories if that was about a republican or conservative it would be front page of every newspaper, and we have them and they just do

how corrupt in your mind is the department of justice and the top of the food chain at the fbi?well, i'll tell you. you don't have to look any further than sidney powell's book "license to lie." i believe main justice is corrupt. i believe we have done a pretty good job getting rid of some of those folks but just as your previous guest said, listen, these guys are playing golf and laughing about it. if our attorney general, jeff sessions, doesn't get up and do something, it's time for him to go. i think the chorus is so loud for his resignation, i don't think sessions is ever going to get a handle on the corruption in main justice. i don't think he intends to. and something needs to be done there. it's just not going to be done by jeff sessions. gregg: he's either naive and gullible or he's just incompetent. it's got to be one of those. thanks very much. good to see you. the lawyer representing mollie tibbetts' killer says there were no signs his client was a murderer in the making. alan richards telling "people" magazine he was just a part of the community, an all-american boy

in a statement he said i took control of the department of justice the day i was sworn in. later on that statement, while i'm attorney general, the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. although jeff sessions and the president have been at odds for some time now, what changed is two leading senate republicans, graham and grassley are talking about a future where jeff sessions is not attorney general. listen to graham on capitol hill. >> the president's entitled to an attorney general he has faith in. somebody qualified for the job. i think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and fresh voice at the department of justice. clearly attorney general sessions doesn't have the competence of the president. >> reporter: right now, jeff sessions future will continue to hang in the balance. dave and christine. >> kaitlan collins, thank you. >>> it is going to be an interesting few days for congress member duncan hunter. he and his wife indicted for alleged fraud and he s

the president said he hadn't taken control of the justice department. the attorney general said i took control of the department of justice the day i was sworn in. so there you have it right there. what would happen if the president were to fire sessions? how would it impact the russia probe? >> if he got rid of sessions this would be the most direct way for the president to put someone in charge who would be able to oversee the mueller investigation. perhaps that is what is on his mind. of course, that would bring all kinds of political problems which is why i think a lot of people have advised him to not do this. at least don't do this before the mid terms. politically it would be a very bad thing for even republicans. his legal team has been telling him that. it would also raise questions about obstruction. this is something that has been brought up and questions that robert mueller has asked of the president's legal team whether his criticism of sessions is part of this picture of the president trying to obstruct this ongoing investigation. >> if the
