meanwhile, very different story plays out if you are a democrat, by the name of senator dianne feinsteinlook at the shocking revelations, 2013, feinstein, notified by the fbi. one of her top aide is investigated as a chinese spy. in other words, the fbi sought to protect feinstein, not trump. perhaps because the highest levels of the fbi are rocked with anti-trump corrupt bias and are trying to take down the candidate, stop him with an insurance policy, if, god forbid, he does win. not bennett dominic senator feinstein. night after night on this program, we are breaking important news, investigative r. i have said many times, we are peeling back the layers of corruption, the biggest abuse of power in our country's history, at the highest levels of our government. now that is not the case and the rest of the news media. let's take, for example, conspiracy tv msnbc. you are going to love this tape. now this is not the case. they are more interested in pushing salacious rumors, lies, accusations. tom brokaw, you spent your entire career. this is your nbc news. and nowhere is this more true

it's a rip from the headlines reality from politico and san francisco chronical about senator dianne feinstein. first they revealed a feinstein staffer was a chinese spy. then more citing an unnamed source it was revealed the spy was feinstein's driver for 20 years who also served as a gopher in her bay area office and was a liaison to the asian american community. he even attended chinese consulate functions for the senator. senator feinstein was the chair of the senate intelligence committee at the time and was reportedly mortified when the fbi told her she had been infiltrated. our security anal list, former assistant special agent in charge of san francisco fbi office says he isn't surprised the san francisco senator was targeted. >> if you think of the number of government employees there are that are in positions of trust and confidence, anybody that sits on senate intelligence committee, they have a top secret security clearance and higher and those people are all prime targets of opportunity. this is no different than what we would do on foreign soil to try to recruit the same individu

i like dianne feinstein, i have to tell you.ut i don't like that she had a chinese spy driving her and she did not know it. she says to me, what did you know about this? give me a break. come on, folks. every day -- and with china not doing so well, it has gotten worse, i guarantee you could -- i guarantee you. if there is any meddling or problems, it will be really big now because we are taking our wealth and jobs back, we are opening up and setting new records. we are keeping our promise. we have eliminated a record number of job killing regulation. and that is so true. ohio is going to like this. we have ended the war on clean coal, our miners are back to work. republicans passed the biggest tax cuts and reform in american history. we have saved our family farms from the estate tax also known as the death tax, and also we have saved small businesses, small farms, small businesses will not be paying the death tax anymore.

trump: dianne feinstein and had to -- dianne feinstein had a spy as her driver for 20 years and she isng the russian investigation, and no, the russian witchhunt. the democratic inspired witchhunt. isn't that something? diane feinstein had a chinese driver. how come china never spies on us question mark are those that say, boy they are brutal, you should ask what is going on? not just china. we have to stop meddling, we have to stop everybody from attacking us. there are a lot. russia is there, china is there. hey, we are doing well with north korea. but they are probably there. with to stop everybody. we have to stop. i like dianne feinstein, have to tell you. but i don't like the fact that she had a chinese spy driving her and she did not know it. and she says to me, what did you know about this? give me a break. come on, folks. not doing so well, it has only gotten worse, i guarantee you. if there is any meddling or any problems, i guarantee you it is going to happen really big now because we are taking our wealth back. we're taking our jobs back. newy day, we are setting records an

investigation, robert mueller and all the rest and then on the other side of the aisle you have dianne feinstein turns out she had a driver for 20 years driving around who essentially was a chinese spy. the fbi went to her secretly five years ago and said hey, you might have a problem. she fires the staff and kind of sweeps it under the carpet. a little bit different than the way the investigation of the president has been handled. ainsley: is that double standard. >> we already know we are not looking for evidence out of whole cloth that she had a chinese spy looking for her, driving to her, listening to her conversations, i guess, catching her as she's drivers do in very personal moments when you are talking on the phone or reviewing documents. maybe speaking out loud to a person next to you a staff member, perhaps. we already have that evidence. it goes to the selectivity. people talk about media bias and i often talk the selectivity of what you choose to cover. and what you choose to exclude from public view. i'm a big fan of a free press and the president is, too. he made clear yesterday, a

wears dianne feinstein when you need her help? >> i know. the thing is, the idea that the intelligence community, you are sending a role to them, it's not the role of the intelligence community to be launching political attacks, many of them are professional but the idea that you are an activist as an intelligence official, it is not the type of intelligence that we want to. we want people who are apolitical, and obviously, we have seen in the fall out of this russia thing, when you have people like brennan, when you have people like peter strzok, would you have people like andrew mccabe, who are behaving politically, that really distorts some of the powers that -- the use of some of the powers of the government has played >> laura: on a separate issue, today governor andrew cuomo from new york made a comment that made me stop in my tracks. as part of the democrats, i think i'm a desire to turn out the vote, get people registered, oh, my god, -- they are freaking out because they see the economy rising so high and they still have to create a

that the fbi wanted dianne feinstein to know the risks in her own camp with this chinese driver becausepapdopoulus the fbi's motive seems to be to get dirt on the trump campaign. their prime motivation does not seem to me, having viewed so much of the data since this scandal has broken, that the fbi's prime motivation was to stop russian meddling. rather it was to find out who in the trump campaign was or could have been guilty of colluding with the russians and get trump, rather than help trump. ed: geraldo, you rightly honored our gis. what about the g-men and g-women at the fbi supposed to be non-partisan, supposed to be equal justice under the law? if they suspect a chinese spy in a democratic senator's campaign or a russian meddling in a republican campaign, should there be a equal standard? >> i think the whole flap over john brennan's security clearance is very, very clear indication of where people stand in this controversy having to do with president trump. john brennan was a great head of cia, a great national security asset. he was a fierce defender of american security but h

how dianne feinstein it has been discovered she had hired some chinese mole, chinese spy for many years. when the fbi got wind of it, they did not send a bunch of fbi agents and spies to go look into dianne feinstein and try to trap her. instead, they give her a briefing and warned her about this guy. it is just so much different than the way the trump situation was handled. >> there is no fairness, there is no equivalency here. if you're a democrat or friend of hillary, you get immunity or you get off scott free. if you are remotely connected to donald trump, you get people like robert mueller and andrew wiseman and his team of partisans coming after you with a vengeance. and really abusing their positions of power. and that is part of the story of the russia hoax. and you are right about bruce orr and christopher steele. i mean steele is on the payroll of hillary clinton and the fbi. when they fire him for being a liar they continue to use him in violation of fbi regulations. they were devious about it. they had bruce orr as a conduit. and the other amazing thing is even after the pre
