the fbi didn't do that. the fbi said we're prepare to lose our entire terrorism case because we have to bring that husband and wife to justice. we have to declassify this fisa intercept and hand it to the police. that's doing the right thing thunder severe stress when it matters the most. think today in the news we're seeing christopher wray do that. here's what i mean. he knows that if he speaks out right now publicly, and says spirally and specifically how severe the threat is and has sent the message already but it if says who did this, the details of where they're finding this was funded, who they think actually enabled and facilitated this, heaves facing likely firing and you might say, well, that's -- who cared about we has paycheck or not? that's not motivating him. what is motivating i'm how you teal about an act fib director next we with the name of oh, say, rudy giuliani or sidney pall. we need him in place and if he's doing this out of survival for the fbi if say that's okay. >> all goes back to t

the fbi is not without fault but here is the deal as you learn in the book, the fbi operates at the highest level of excellence when the stakes matter the most and often you only get a portion of the story where no story at all when the bureau succeeds. spent 25 years inside the organization and for parts of that i actually led internal affairs functions in the fbi including becoming chief inspector of the fbi in terms of audits and programs and internal investigations away absorb how it preserves its core values and i saw need to tell folks how to preserve their core values and the nation's core values in the business core values under stress the fbi is under stress every single day. the good news is you don't have to spend 25 years to figure how they do it high distill it down seven key chapters of the book and i call it the fbi way. host: the fbi is under a lot of stress right now. a lot of stress trying to bring everybody to justice it's all hands on deck so i'm just wondering if we take your thoughts and reaction to the insurrection we saw last week and whether you think the fbi was re

in the weeks leading up the generate six rally, the fbi worked internally with every fbi field office to ensure they were looking -- that we were looking for any intelligence that may have developed about potential violence during the rally on january 6. we develop some intelligence at a number of individuals are planning to travel to the d.c. area with intentions to cause violence. we immediately shared that an action was taken demonstrated by the metropolitan police department the night before the rally. other individuals were identified in other parts of the country in the travel subsequently disrupted. the fbi receives enormous amounts of information and intelligence. returns the viability of it. under the law the policies that govern fbi investigation. we have to separate the aspirational from the intentional and determine which of the individuals saying despicable things on the internet are just practicing keyboard bravado where they actually have intent to do harm. in that latter, we work diligently to identify them and prevent them from doing so. as offensive as a statement ca

general for the fbi.lly good at putting together false information in the form of a dossier to prevent to a court to spy on a presidential candidate. there were 17 errors the ig found that the fbi made in the application for a pfizer were against carter page in order to spy on president trump and his campaign. all of them in favor met of the government of the president. general michael flynn was another target of the fbi he was crucified for four years, labeled a convict and a traitor by the fbi whose director comey laughed about getting away with it. you can even ask hillary clinton, she will tell you the fbi is good at political investigations and they will do a fake investigation when no search warrants and no grand jury and noo question or reporting or sonographer in the fbi will go out of his way to announce this poor woman doesn't possess an iota of criminal intent which of course isn't even fbi's job. their political expertise continues to be confirmed with the declassification this week of crossfi

and he repeatedly lied to the fbi. and the whole time his father was on the fbi payroll. the massacre the fbi director jim comey comes out saying he will leave no stone unturned. of course, they prosecuted mateen's widow, she was acquitted because the fbi had significant inconsistencies in their testimony. but there is one thing the fbi is really good at. just ask michael horowitz, the inspector general for the fbi. they are good at putting together false information in the form of a dossier to present to a court to spy on presidential candidate. there were 17 errors the i.g. found in the information for a fisa warrant against carter page in order to spy on president trump and his campaign. all of them in favor of the government against the president. general michael flynn was another targets of the fbi. he was labeled a convict and traitor by 9 fbi whose director comey laughed about getting away with it. you can even ask hillary clinton. she'll tell you the fbi is good at political investigations. they will do a fake investigation with no search warrants and no grand jur

let's cross back over to the fbi briefing. >> as director wray says, the fbi does not do easy. to be clear, the brutality the american people watched with shock and disbelief on the 6th will not be tolerated by the fbi. the men and we will of the fbi will leave no stone unturned in this investigation. since these events, the fbi has worked hand in hand with the united states attorney's office and our law enforcement partners here in d.c. and across the country to arrest and charge multiple individuals who took part in the destruction. in six days, we have opened over 160 case files and that is just the tip of the iceberg. the significance of the investigation is not lost on us. this is a 24/7 full bore extensive operation into what happened that day. we cannot do our job without the help of the american people. since our call for tips, videos and pictures, we have received more than 100,000 pieces of digital media which is absolutely fantastic. and we are scouring everyone for investigative and intelligence leads. we continue to ask for more. if you have information, contact 1-

in the weeks leading up to the january 6th rally, the fbi worked internally with every fbi field office to ensure that we were looking for any intelligence that may have developed of potential violence during the real on january 6th. we developed some intelligence that a number of individuals were planning to travel to the d.c. area with intentions to cause violence. we immediately shared that information and action was taken as demonstrated by the arrest of enrique tarrio by the metropolitan police department the night before the rally. other individuals were identified in other parts of the country and their travel subsequently disrupted. the fbi receives enormous amounts of information and intelligence, and our job is to determine the credibility and viability of it. under the laws and policies that govern fbi investigations. we have to separate the aspirational from the intentional and determine which of the individuals saying despicable things on the internet are just practicing keyboard bravado or do they actually have the intent to do harm? in the latter we work diligently to ide

>> about why the fbi hasn't -- >> bill: the fbi, capitol police. there's so many holes in this story. >> yeah, i think is -- i worked at the white house, worked on the hill, chris worked on the hill. there's protests in these areas a lot and a lot of bad people try to descend on the capitol. maybe not as horrific as the other day. seems like the safeguards that would normally be there weren't there. i don't know why because it's so clear that the passions in this country on both sides are on full tilt. i think we've all been on social media watching videos that are troubling, including videos of capitol hill cops that are like one cop trying to hold back everybody. i spent a lot of time walking around the corners of the hill. there's a lot of capitol hill cops at work at any one time. so i'm not blaming. i don't have enough information but i'd like to learn more. nothing that excuses the crimes that were committed but there was -- >> bill: maybe we'll get answers in a moment. chris, what is you take? >> i'm dumbfounded that we haven't had a briefin

at the fbi. i'll then turn to undersecretary frank taylor, currently executive fellow at the global policy initiative of the university of notre dame, formerly undersecretary for intelligence and analysis at the department of homeland security. he was also the former coordinator for counterterrorism for the state department in the days, weeks, and months during and after 9/11. prior to that, he had a distinguished career in law enforcement in the u.s. air force. and finally, mary mccord. mary is currently a visiting professor of law and a legal director for the institute of constitutional advocacy and protection at the prestigious georgetown law school. mary was formerly the acting assistant attorney general for national security at the department of justice. to frame our discussion, i want to just draw your attention to the definition of domestic terrorism. the fbi website defines domestic terrorism as violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups to further ideological goals ste

the fbi and n.y.p.d.sing the alarm on threats to the capitol police saying on january 69:something might be coming. capitol police not only are they not ready. they are taking selfies, with these rioters. and they are opening doors pour the rioters and they are not handcuffing the rioters, walking out with them arrested. compare that to the images we were seeing during the black lives matter protests overnight and the rhetoric we have heard from the president, who has said, with the looting comes the shooting. >> what's so wild about this is it is actually even worse now than we expected. because there was finformation the fbi was able to obtain and spread that out. if you look back the last few years where this administration has peeled back on focusing on homegrown extremists, white extremists. meanwhile they are actively investigating so-called black identity extremism. the natural question, why weren't these riot he is, they insurrectionists treated the same way we have seen black folks treated this s

the fbi says that is not true. he was participating in the acts, according to the fbi.people to take things. and the fbi recommends in their affidavit that he be charged with federal crimes. this is the first known person that the fbi has confirmed, a liberal activist, not a trump activist, engaged in criminality inside the capitol as part of last wednesday's riots. lou: video of sullivan operating and also recapsulizing his role and some braggadocio about how effective he was as a provocateur. that video, i know, is on a number of sites, yours, it's on gateway pundit. i want to give them credit, it was the first that i saw. this is, it is chilling to see what was going on. it is also very clear that we're going to have to wait some time before we should be making a headlong rush into a conclusion about that mob, because there are other videos out as well and your reporting on this as well, i mean, we're watching capitol police open up stanchions and gates and fences that let permitted mobs into, mobs that were at that point private citizens, it seems on their way to lo

same thing with fbi everything is flipped upside down the left likes the overzealousness of the fbi, now examining the ideological framework of i individual soldiers, if you're going to do that we had retired military with the commander-in-chief six months ago of mussolini, hitler and a very prominent general he should be removed sooner than later. that was not considered insurrectionary, there's no pretense or effort to be disinterested it's all one-sided. that's why they show that concern, they had donald trump at 51% one of the highest of the entire tenure, that backlash is growing and it's not a disinterested honest appraisal, it's all biased in asymmetric. lou: i suspect we will see the president's approval rating rise with every success of month of the biden administration when we see these kinds of numbers see country is headed in the wrong direction. i want to turn to two things, the military historian you appreciate the fact that allce f our service members have a background check as they enter the service, every recruit to see this fbi investigation suggesting that an fbi i

to see this fbi investigate suggesting that an fbi investigation or background check by any number ofrs that do it could be in any with way extensive in a matter of days is really disinformation. i, it troubles me that we would pretend that anything thorough in the way of an investigation, background investigation could be done. do you agree? >> yeah, i think it's more for media consumption that they're trying to suggest that there's some vast right-wing, white supremacist conspiracy that's threatening to take over the capital, and they're rushing to make sure they can filter out these dangerous insurrectionaries among their ranks. there's no evidence that they exist. and that mob -- lou: right. >> -- was regrettable. it was preplanned, it was probably not incited by the president. but in terms of the actual -- lou: did you say probably? >> -- it did not, it paled in comparison with 90 days of blm and antifa riots that were contextualized and even condoned by some of our most prominent officials. lou: it is fbi telling us now that a number of, including a group of oath keepers, were a

you're the former acting fbi direct director, you were the deputy director of the fbi.e've heard today two major representatives, steven dan twono, a senior fbi agent, michael sherwin, the acting u.s. attorney here in washington, d.c. why didn't we hear from the acting attorney general of the united states, why didn't we hear from the acting deputy director? >> that's a good question, wolf, and i don't know that i have a good answer for you. i think the two gentlemen who took the podium today did a fine job of getting us to understand the investigation. but what we didn't understand were the threats we are facing over the next week. that's a message that you have to hear from the top, from director wray, and from the acting attorney general jeff rosen, and they weren't there today. >> it spoke volumes to me, and, i'm sure, a whole bunch of other people, andrew, that this is such a sensitive, historic, dangerous moment here in the united states. and at a time like this, you want to hear from the fbi director and you want to hear from the attorney general in this particul

and fbi. i blame d.o.j.ere was never a serious attempt to bring people to heal four years later. we are having seen an commentatorshe from all these people are runninges free, spewg lies and nobody held accountable is sad thing in america right now. elizabeth: good to see you. we are coming into the bottom of the hour, you are watching the foxbusiness network. next, fox news contributor on president biden today saying lower the temperature, stop the uncivil war. time for healing and peace and unity. washington on politics with the country. a growing call by tv host, to punish, blacklist, even the program the voter, 75 million strong who voted for trump. one cnn yes all of america needs to be deprogrammed. next.. ♪♪ back with mene now, fox news contributor, dineen, it's great to have yous, on, good to see y. president biden saying lower the temperatures, stop the uncivilp war but we got democrats and tv hosts still talk about punishing, censoring and deprogramming the 75 million who voted for trump, even one

fbi and dhs were on those calls. clearly from nypd's reporting, they gave the information to capitol police. while he know less than capitol police, and as peter mentioned, it's a coequal branch, so the executive branch tries not to tell the legislative break what they should do. at the very least fbi and dhs should have put out a joint bulletin, much like yesterday -- >> yeah. >> that is a standard protocol. we always have a duty to warn, even if we're not sure what we're looking at. we've also erred in the past and warned, and that didn't occur i don't know if it was attempted and perhaps squashed by political leadership, or at least from talking to people on, former colleagues, colleagues still on the inside, it is my sense that they knew something was up. maybe they didn't fully understand the picture of a specific attack on the capitol, but they knew bad actors was coming, they knew violence was planned. they should have had riot gear, a much stronger perimeter, should have had national guard available. you alwa

the fbi didn't tell them this.ld threat get a fisa wiretap and not tell the fisa court what their own guys were telling them. >> they can't. they did but that is the dishonesty. that is the devastating component to this story. we built a system, a tool this, fisa court that makes sense if you ask me. it does make sense to have a very simple, serious private, or confidential court to deal with counterespionage, terrorism situations. you rely on the fbi with doj's help to peaceally be straight shooters, to do their investigation and present a legitimate package to the court. that did not happen here. let me just flag you know, one very precise procedural example of this. when you do any sort of wiretap affidavit and you put information in there like this russian dossier it is your obligation as you keep going back to the court and renewing or updating that information to say, hey, we found out we were wrong about something. well they knew very early on, maybe before the first application, but certainly by the second

>> reporter: the fbi actually creates that list based on the terror watch list. but tonight the fbi says it's considering adding the capitol hill attackers to the no-fly list as well. >> all right, tom, thanks >>> let me swing over to pete williams now about the sweep of this investigation pete, some very serious criminal charges now being considered here. >> reporter: yes, lester and federal prosecutors say tonight they've opened more than 170 cases so far, a number that's likely to grow much bigger in the coming days the potential charges, simple trespass, theft of mail, digital devices and classified information, assault on police officers, and murder but they're also considering a charge of seditious conspiracy, meaning opposing the government by force. that carries a 2 maximum sentence the fbi is also looking at whether the rioters had a leader and if they intended to take members of congress hostage, lester >> everything about this is chilling all right, pete, thanks >>> the fbi is also warning of potentially violent protests at state capitols nationwide ga

but the fbi went ahead anyway. and what senator lindsey graham now calls a, quote, massive system failure, he says this was out of bias. he calls it one of the most incompetent and corrupt investigations in the history of the fbi and the justice department. with us tonight,kt mcfarland, jim trusty, dan gainor along with fox news' janice dean, tom homan on these top headlines. weaver going to break down what we found in the documents. it's deeply concerning. it appears to be worse than we previously reported and realized. we're also going to talk to you about this story, twitter indicating it will censor more accounts to root out violent content. there's audio of an insider meeting with jack dorsey, ceo of twitter. we've got it for you with. this as a growing number of conservatives fears censorship and attacks on free speech and their policies. they say they're seeing it already happening with the left and the media. also fox news' janice dean joins us tonight. janice dean called out new york governor cuomo after s

the fbi says a virginia man, 65-year-old thomas caldwell, planned and coordinated at least that part of the capitol siege. no comment from him or a lawyer prosecutors accused two others, a man and woman from ohio, of being part of that group. they say they intended the demonstration to be peaceful the fbi says it has found signs that some extremist groups made plans several days in advance to enter the capitol. lester >> all right, pete williams tonight. thank you. >>> we're hearing from president trump for the first time in days his taped farewell address before he exits the white house tomorrow morning, as joe biden prepares to be sworn in we start with nbc's kristen welker kristen, what's the president saying >> reporter: well, lester, the president who's dominated the airwaves tonight with that final video calling for people to pray for his successor without mentioning joe biden's name just hours away from leaving the white house, president trump tonight releasing this video. his farewell address to the american people. >> i took on the tough battles, the hardest fights, the most

we are calling on the authorities, the fbi, the tsa. any of those who were inside the capitol should be placed on the no-fly list and not be allowed to fly because -- any of the -- let's wait till he goes -- any of those who were inside the capitol should not be able to fly and should be placed on the no-fly list. we are calling on the authorities, fbi, tsa, department of homeland security to put them on the no-fly list immediately. amidst the continued threat of future violence online, the federal government's own concerns, i spoke to director wray about this twice in the last few days, we cannot allow these same insurrectionists to get on a plane and cause more violence and more damage. these individuals are a threat to the homeland as defined by the law. the law allows this. and they should be placed on the no-fly list. look, the attack on our capitol remains under active investigation. the situation has many concerned about the possibility of another attack or attacks, and rightfully so. i'm continuing to be briefed on an almost dai

inauguration the pentagon removing from duty a dozen national guard members after their vetting by the fbi. at least two could have had right-wing extremist sympathies worries about a possible insider attack bubbling to the surface. >>> but this evening the focus briefly turned to the lincoln memorial where president-elect biden and vice president-elect harris led the nation in an emotional tribute to those we have lost to covid buildings across the country awash in light in honor of the victims as the number of lives taken here in the u.s. climbed above a staggering 400,000. we begin our reporting with tom costello >> reporter: with 25,000 national guard troops in d.c., the pentagon says a dozen have been removed from the assignment ten flagged in fbi background checks for various issues, ranging from minor criminal offenses to more serious concerns two more soldiers identified for what are described as inappropriate texts and messages, possibly expressing right-wing extremist sympathies. >> out of an abundance of caution we automatically pulled those personnel off the line and make sure

the fbi and d.c.e asking the public for help identifying them, like this man carrying the confederate flag through the halls of congress. others have been named. the bearded man wearing the camp auschwitz shirt is robert packer from virginia, the individual in all black with a holster is eric munchville from nashville. he is charged with two federal crimes. also charged is a retired reservist army colonel named larry brock who also had flexible handcuffs. erin, one thing investigators are looking into is to what extent the rioters included active duty law enforcement and military. we are told there are at least seven officers across the country who are under investigation by their departments from new york, philadelphia, seattle, virginia and texas. so, of course, very troubling to think that there could have been law enforcement and military among those rioters. erin, one more thing we should note is that the president has just agreed to that emergency declaration that had been requested by the mayor

>> i want to stress that the fbi has a long memory and a broad reach.s from our local field offices will be knocking on your door. if we find out that you were part of the criminal activity at the capitol. there's so much to take advantage of. like $0 copays on virtual visits... ♪ wow ♪ uh-huh $0 copays on primary care visits and lab tests. ♪ wow ♪ uh-huh plus, $0 copays on hundreds of prescription drugs. ♪ wow ♪ uh-huh unitedhealthcare medicare advantage plans. including the only plans with the aarp name. most plans have a $0 premium. it's time to take advantage. ♪ wow medical technology is giving nurses faster results than ever. they should expect the same from their education, too. with flexpath from capella university, you can complete your rn-to-bsn program in 9 months and under $10,000. capella university. don't just learn, learn smarter. it's moving day. and while her friends capella university. are doing the heavy lifting, jess is busy moving her xfinity internet and tv services. it only takes about a minute. wait, a minute? but what have you be

when i was a fbi agent, and since then, the fbi would warn their own agents working domestic terrorism investigations that the subjects of the investigations often have active links to law enforcement. the fbi recognizes the threat it poses to the investigation but does not do anything to the communities they serve. it was great to see a statement from the houston police chief. they have to acknowledge it. acknowledging that there is a problem is the first step towards actually addressing it. i think that is a good first step. >> thank you. mike, i have to mention your book. you are also the author of disrupt, discredit and divide. pick it up. it is a good read. thank you gentlemen, i appreciate it. there are nor national guard troops in washington than active troops in afghanistan, iran and syria combined. before i was diagnosed by my doctor, i didn't know why my body was moving on its own. my eyes blinked way too much. it turns out, i have tardive dyskinesia, a condition that may be related to important medications i take for my bipolar disorder. my fingers moved like they were playi

that's from the fbi director chris wray. as he says this, wolf, the arrests and charges for those who took part in the insurrection of the capitol are growing by the day. every day bringing new arrests of the capitol insurrectionists. today kevin seifreed seen last wednesday roaming the halls with a large confederate flag was taken into custody in delaware along with his son, hunter. they've been chamrged with thre federal counts including violent entry and disorderly conduct. the nationwide manhunt also leading to the arrest of retired pennsylvania firefighter robert sanford, allegedly seen in this video throwing a fire extinguisher that struck a capitol police officer in a head. also facing charges the man wearing a camp auschwitz sweatshirt, robert packer, tracked down and arrested wednesday in virginia. the fbi says it's gotten more than 100,000 digital tips from the public. as the investigation expands, there are more clues of planning and coordination of the insur insurrection, rather than just being the result of a ga

and so, the fbi wants to get a wiretap on. so, the fbi sends an email to the cia. says, hey, is this guy a source for you? the cia emails back and they say yes, he's a source. the fbi assistant general counsel takes that email and alters it types in the word. the cia says yes he is a source. the fbi lawyer types in no, he is not a source. >> unbelievable. >> 180 degrees exactly opposite. he then sends that email onto the department of justice that uses that as the basis of a warn statement for the fisa court to get a wiretap. >> maria: this is the most obvious straightforward criminality and, yet, no jail time, not even a fine, congressman do you think they are using his guilty plea to take others down? is that what we are talking about. >> i don't think there is a excuse for it. it looks like total corruption all the way to the top. there is no excuse whatsoever. this was so blatant. it was so obvious. you change the wording. you took somebody like carter page who was a navy academy graduate. he had done work for the cia. so, you know, when you talk about, you kno

the fbi days ago said no evidence of that. and jessica schneider, now kevin mccarthy, the house gop leader apparently said that in no uncertain terms to the president as well. antifa was not part of this or behind this. >> but the problem is that narrative already got out, you know, most particularly in the right wing media. so a lot of these people whoor these chat rooms, drumming all of this up on social media, that's what potentially they believe because that's what was out there initially from a lot of influential people who they were listening to. it doesn't matter as much now that a lot of those people are walking it back saying that's not the case. so like josh said, this is coming from the top. these people are taking their cues from the president, and it makes it very difficult for law enforcement to really tackle this on that end. >> i'll tell you, you see a school shooting, for instance. local police, federal police or a terror attack, as you mentioned, they are out there within hours briefing the public. repeatedly

appreciate it. >>> perspective from former fbi special agent, also former fbi deputy director and current cnn contributor andrew mccabe. according to the washington post, virginia fbi field office issued a dire warning ahead of the capitol attack. the fbi today saying they shared intelligence with the joint terrorism task force. is it clear who dropped the ball here? >> it's really not clear yet, anderson, and it will take time after the inauguration passed and we have the opportunity to go back and look at this thoughtfully before we get to the bottom of it. what the fbi said at the press conference today, is yes, the norfolk field office compos that raw intelligence report, sent it to the washington field office to be considered in the work around the inauguration and the washington field office relied on its jttf, which is the squad in which all terrorism cases are worked and it includes members of the capitol police and members of the metropolitan police department for d.c. the question is did they go to the efforts that are really necessary to highlight that intelligence to the leade

before jim comey, bob mueller when he was director of the fbi. the availability of encrypted communications is really a challenge for the u.s.

lou: the fbi knew that in to 2017. >> 2016, yeah.u: created a special counsel -- well, i think so too because they were part of the first attempts the frame general michael flynn. so they were on a mission already. your point is exact. >> yeah. lou: my question here is the fbi knew it, the justice department knew it, the intelligence chiefs knew it, and they combined and acted in concert to destroy, first, the candidacy of donald j. trump and then his presidency. and we have witnesses, we have known this. these documents further corroborate it. and there isn't a single soul among those corrupt officials who have been held accountablement and not anyone -- accountable. and not anyone in the left-wing national media as far as i know has put those facts before their readers, theiren listeners and their viewers. and users. and said this is the truth and what we carry to you in giant buckets from 2016 and 2017 on was a lie. why not? >> yeah. there's a conspiracy of silence. and i think the news media's ashamed of its reporting, so they've

fbi way, inside the bureau's code of excellence." also joining us is andrew bow john, senior editor at the wash tonian. frank, let me start with you. a lot discussed about domestic terrorism this week. what is domestic terrorism? is there a legal definition and does this insurrection on wednesday fit the bill? >> the answer to both those questions is yes. yes there's a legal insurrection and yes what happened wednesday fits into that definition. here's the question we need to ponder, why isn't there a federal domestic terrorism law. we have a definition. we have people doing it. we don't have a federal law against it. we have one that deals with international terrorism. if we change the religion and skin color of the people entering that capitol building the fbi would call it international terrorism. most importantly, we would have the investigative tools in the tool kit to allow the fbi to get ahead of it and possibly prevent it from hatching. they would have put informants in those groups and organizations. they would have been mon
