fired f.b.i. director james comey lashing out at republicans yesterday. >> people who know better, including republican members of this body, have to have the courage to stand up and speak the truth. not be cowed by mean tweets or fear of their base. there is a truth and they aren't telling it. their silence is shameful. >> bill: there is a lot of reaction on that. republicans say they were slamming lecturing the gop and leading the bureau. former white house secretary sean spicers joins us to react. >> sandra: heavy hearts in the city of chicago as it deals with the tragic loss of two young police officers killed in the line of duty. >> there are no words that can express the grief, the sense of loss. this knocks you back on your heels. hi i'm joan lunden. today's senior living communities have never been better, with amazing amenities like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars and bistros even pet care services. and there's never been an easier way to get great ad

and who we know is the chief spies so course the f.b.i. had no choice but to talk to flynn about that conversation but the way their interview with him was conducted was rather strange no lawyers were present the white house counsel was not informed linda sat down with the f.b.i. and at no point did they tell him that what he said could later be used against him for the f.b.i.'s investigation of a guy who pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. he should have been warned you shouldn't lie should have been told you can have a lawyer think of the state of affairs we've ended up in that's nonsense i'm very proud of the way the f.b.i. conducted itself actual flexible thoughtful pursuit believes where you'd want us to at the time the f.b.i. did not see any wrongdoing. general flynn pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the federal bureau of investigation even though the f.b.i. agents did not detect any deception do influence interview what michael flynn apparently said the case leon is that international tensions shouldn't ask following obam

if the f.b.i.anted to send agents to the white house, you would work through the white house counsel there. would be discussions and approvals. i thought it's early enough. let's send guys over. >> president trump says the feds tricked flynn in to cooperating. but robert mueller says quoting nothing about the way the interview was arranged or conducted caused the defendant to make the false statements to the f.b.i. i was last december. michael flynn pled guilty to lying to the f.b.i. >> tucker: thank you, trace. the quiz. what crimes did mike flynn commit? if you asked 50 people on the street, what answers would you get? likely get a full range. flynn worked for vladimir putin. he included with the turks. he was a russian spy. secret agent serving a foreign power. he and carter page were seen reloading on grassy knoll in dallas. that kind of thing. details might be hazy but everybody you ask would know for certain that general michael flynn after 33 years in uniform betrayed this country. how do th

michael flynn lied to the f.b.i. general michael flynn oh the horror he sat at a table with russian president vladimir putin and he's supposedly met with a group alleged to be nazi sympathizers and he supposedly kidnapped someone on behalf of turkish president and while we're at it let's mention that his son is apparently part of the investigation glen's name has been dragged through the mud at the end of the day however the f.b.i. only found one thing to hold onto a lie if the opposition the democrats and certain members of his own party are doing everything possible to frustrate the will of the people and to subvert to or to prevent the implementation of the pose policies for which donald trump was elected flynn was within the administration the most visible supporter of improved relations with russia since sitting at the table with putin that was in december two thousand and fifteen at the tenth anniversary celebration of r t i happen to also be in the room and i know that putin's presence at the table was for a f

flynned he knew it was illegal to lie to the f.b.i. and he was ready to accept responsibility, before agreeing to delay in sentencing. given that, are you in a position or would you like to revisit your comments earlier today the f.b.i. ambushed flynn? sarah sanders: no, we still firmly believe. look, things that may have taken place, again, that is for the judge to make the determination whether he engaged in something inappropriate. we know that was inappropriate by own self-admittance of james comey is that the f.b.i. broke standard protocol in the way they came in and ambushed general flynn and in the way they questioned him and the way they encouraged him not to have white house council present. james comey told us that and they said the reason they did it was because the reason they did it, it was the trump administration and they thought they could get away with it. those are facts and certainly there may be other issues there, that we don't have any reason to walk that back. >> quickly about michael flynn. he's cooperated with

michael flynn lied to the f.b.i. general michael landon oh the horror he sat at a table with russian president vladimir putin and he's supposedly met with a group alleged to be nazi sympathizers and he supposedly kidnapped someone on behalf of turkish president and while we're at it let's mention that his son is apparently part of the investigation plans name has been dragged through the mud at the end of the day however the f.b.i. only found one thing to hold onto a lie table r.t. new york. i'm happy to say we can get insight from international relations gilberto doctorow you're very welcome to the program sir a special consul robert muller recommended lenient treatment for flynn for cooperating but the language from the judge wasn't quite the same why do you think he got such short shrift in the courtroom. worley the judge's opinion his own the if it comes in the context of subversion of american democracy and link what happened to flynn with the proceeding feature article on your program that is the treatment of t

michael flynn lied to the f.b.i. general michael landon oh the horror he sat at a table with russian president vladimir putin and he's supposedly met with a group alleged to be nazi sympathizers and he supposedly kidnapped someone on behalf of turkish president and while we're at it let's mention that his son is apparently part of the investigation plans name has been dragged through the mud at the end of the day however the f.b.i. only found one thing to hold onto a lie. r.t. new york. well in the same day flynn sentence was delayed one of the first journalists who reports on the infamous trump rushy a dossier said that it contains claims are quote likely falls michael isikoff believes it's most salacious i.q. stations will never be proven. when you actually get into the details of the steel dosia the specific allegations we have not seen the evidence to support them and in fact there's good grounds to think that some of the more sensational allegations will never be proven and are likely folks but when the on corro

the f.b.i. he said this, quote, that's the way we treated the russian counter intelligence investigations. opened them in late july. he also explained the trump campaign was not under investigation. the f.b.i. in late july opened counter intelligence investigations to see if four americans were working with the russians to influence elections. comey called complaints about mueller investigator peter strzok a conspiracy. he said he helped draft my letter to congress october 28th that hillary clinton blames for her defeat. so it's hard for me to see how he was on team clinton secretly at that point in time. however, republicans are upset that comey answered dozens of questions by saying either he didn't know or he didn't remember. >> pretty amazing that jim comey has memory lapse issues. maybe he needs to get checked for that. when he walks in the hall and finds reporter it begins to talk about everything. to say there wasn't a fisa abuse -- >> democrats walked away that f.b.i. never bent the rule

former national security advisor for lying to an f.b.i. investigation into alleged russian pollution is the lead once again we look at how the case is tainted by words like. the first journalist to report on alleged russia collusion blockbuster planes made by a key source our quote likely faults. till breaks in the british prime minister continues to face fierce opposition to her proposals contingency plans envisioned more than three thousand troops on standby in the event of a. divorce from the. around the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team and myself you know me alone welcome. with weeks of protest still being felt in fronts the police officers have started their own protest against paid overtime and dangerous working conditions it at least one terminal in the french capital main airport officers are causing long lines at passport control by staging a slow down protest let's go to to do been skewed he's been following developments during the yellow vest protest the french government did nothing for weeks and

he did lie to the f.b.i. and admitted to that and the f.b.i.olated its own procedures and protocols which added and doesn't change the fact he lied. i think both things can be true and the f.b.i. needs to make sure they're following their protocols as we are seeing in so many other areas relating to jim comey and others, the f.b.i. has the protocols for a reason. >> bill: sarah sanders with us yesterday and after that she went into the briefing room and the question comes is there any evidence of collusion here and the president has already staked his claim on that and here is what sarah sanders said with regard to the president. >> not when it comes to things that have anything to do with the president. the activities that he has said to -- we'll let the court make that determination, to have engaged in don't have anything to do with the president. let's remember what the whole thing that this started is supposed to be about. whether or not russia influenced the election and whether or not the president had anything to do with it. >> bill: did

former f.b.i. director james comey heading to capitol hill this morning sitting down behind closed doors with the house oversight and judiciary committees in under one hour. something comey initially was refusing to do saying he would prefer a public hearing. here is what congressman trey gowdy had to say about that. >> not a single one of mueller's interviews was done in public. not a single one of the grand jury meetings was done in public. so why jim comey, the last time i was in a public hearing with him over 14u7b times -- 100 times can't answer. why does he want to go back to a setting where he knows he can't answer the questions is beif you hadling to me. >> bill: catherine herridge is live on the hill with more. >> good morning. we are expecting the former f.b.i. director at any time now on capitol hill for this closed-door transcribed interview under oath. the key thing here to set expectations is that the behind closed door interview could last several hours, in fact, well into the evenin

former f.b.i. director here on capitol hill at any time. last week he came around 9:30. about a half hour from now if he sticks to the same schedule. republicans want to ask him questions about his decision to document his conversations with the president and how one was leaked to the media and his decision making and handling for the interview of the former national security advisor mike flynn. >> he thinks the rules don't apply to him. last week he said he got away with not following the rules when they interviewed mike flynn. got away with not actually allowing flynn to have his constitutional rights when the f.b.i. interviewed him and a host of other things that weren't consistent with how you are supposed to do things. >> republicans say they hope more of their questions will be answered. the house government oversight committee trey gowdy was critical of comey last week. he said that he failed to answer questions more than 240 times citing the fact that he didn't know, couldn't remember or si

and f.b.i. do with the complaint? the i.r.s. rejected it. according to the testimony of these two gentlemen, the i.r.s. sent them a denial letter. they said that they have appealed. but they refused to give us a coppy of their original complaint or their appeal. how about the f.b.i.? well, apparently the f.b.i. interviewed the clinton foundation's c.f.o. last year, but like the i.r.s., took no further action that we know of. the chairman invited the justice department to be here today. they refused to come. the trump justice department refused to send someone to this hearing. i will agree with the chairman, when a request is made by this committee, the executive branch, it should always be honored unless there are extraordinary circumstances. but i suspect one of the reasons they're not here is because there's no there there and they don't want to have to testify to that fact, given the pillarring president trump has engaged in with respect to the clintons personally. finally, there's one last a

edgar hoover's f.b.i. . once because these things continue this is not a radical departure from the operation of intelligence agencies this is what they do.

grand jury and f.b.i.to find out something not what they know the answer to in an effort to try to spring a perjury trap on him. this is a classic perjury trap and it is a trap that i think all americans who care about civil liberties and who care about controlling prosecutors ought to be deeply, deeply concerned about. this is the most unfair use of the f.b.i., the prosecutorial tactics. one of the f.b.i. agents who went to the meeting was strzok who was committed to bringing down trump. this is impropriety and i hope the judge sees it that way. judge ellis has already made comments about the miss use of targeting people to get people to sing but possibly to compose. >> bill: he is expected on tuesday. we'll see if that sticks. a lot to work through. >> sandra: president trump saying he is not worried about any potential republican challengers in 2020. why he says he knows his base will support him. we will take that one up with our a-team. >> bill: a law school banning a partnership with ice over student

we should know that you can f.b.i. agents when they're going to be problems as part of those discussions there he was all specifically about his contacts with the russian ambassador to the u.s. . and flynn denied having conversations with kids however it has transpired that the conversations did take place during the transition period between the presidential election. inauguration two conversations specifically we know about one about the sanctions that the obama administration had levied on russia as a result of alleged interference in the election and the other conversation which is particularly fascinating is a conversation. about a a u.n. security council resolution that was being condemning israel for illegal west bank settlements it seems that israel contacted the trump transition team and. then contacted michael flynn to say look the russians to see if they can delay over this u.n. security council resolution which for the first time as obama was on his way out of the office the u.s. is going to let that happen

and he admitted he lied to the f.b.i. now that he was trapped that he knew it was wrong he knew it was illegal he did it anyway and he accepts that this was a crime and that he's pleading guilty to it so we're going to have to watch the right white conservative space in the media to see what they hold onto now but they've been really holding on to this idea that flint is a victim and that the f.b.i. acted inappropriately and the judge really spelled out the case before the entire country that know he knew it was wrong he did it anyway and now he admits he committed a crime. thank you very much indeed for. a us president don't trump charity the trump foundation has agreed to shut down this part of a legal battle with the state of new york foundation is alleged to have operated as an extension of the president's businesses and political campaign if a state which is wind up would have to pay thousands in penalties and be barred from running other charities foundations lawyers say they had been planning to close the foundatio
