and article goes on to talk halper. i mean, he was used to try to set up michael flynn and used to clov inch s. that lisahe insurance paige and peter strzok texted lovingly, but to the ignorance of peter strzok's wife. some people think when i asked peter strzok in our judiciary hearing about him having that same smirk hundreds of times he lied to his wife. the rules in our committees are extremely relaxed compared to rules in a jury trial, of which i have had many as a litigant and as a judge. i know the rules. and i heard him in his deposition talk about how he never lies. he just always tells the truth. and i knew he was lying when he said basically he remembered the investigator for the intelligence inspector general coming over and advising -- he remembers coming over and advising him about something but he doesn't remember what it was

halper has refused requests for comment about his government work.flynn was forced outs as national security advisor over lying about contact with the russian ambassador, she says three american media outletsic contacted her over a four day period alleging suspicious contact with film in 2014. >> was it a coincidence or did you think it was coordinated? >> i think it is high chance that it was coordinated. [inaudible] investigated. >> she says she is, quote, collateral damage in the nrussia probe and she is ndspeaking out to clear her name and get answers about american stephon halper specifically whether she was used to you target or smear general flynn. tucker. >> tucker: that's an amazing story. i think we need to know much more about stephon halper. >> i will stay on it. >> tucker: catherine herridge, thank you. >> you bet. >> tucker: joe biden is facing the gravest political of hisne career. interestingly though barack obama has remains completely silent. is he not sticking up for the man he claimed was the best vice president ever. why is that?

stephon halper also has connections to the fbi. it raises so many questions that i think still need to be answered. >> look i think senate intelligence, house intelligence both have been briefed on this point. i think today part of a blow back that you saw, martha, was people saying we were thoroughly briefed and everybody, republicans and democrats agreed there was no spying. we don't know what bill barr is talking about. what is he doing other than trying to. >> martha: i spoke to some people about this on the hill today who would say that's absolutely not the case. that they never got the documents from the doj. >> juan: i'm just telling you that's what they feel we heard today from senate. >> martha: nadler would definitely agree with you. >> not nadler we heard that from senator warner and senate intelligence and nadler and others. there have been briefings on this and he has stirred the pot in such a way that it looks very political for bill barr. >> martha: we will see. as it all plays out. juan, thank you. >> you are very w

then you had stephon halper working on what have of the deep state and going after carter page and sam clovis. the media is attacking you today because i guess the testimony you gave you said the fbi people you know were -- were, i could tell you -- let me put it this way -- every fbi rank and file guy, the 99.9% i know have all thanked me, because they're hurt -- their -- this is the premier law enforcement agency in the world. just like our intelligence community. same thing. the premier intelligence community in the world. they were hurt by a few at the top. and they're angry about it. and you said that but explain? >> look, i acknowledged that i had a slip of the tongue when i used the word "countless," but it's not untrue. and certainly you just echoed the sentiment and the point i was making is that a number of both current and former fbi agents agreed with the president. james comey was a disgraced leaker who tried to politicize and undermine the agency he was supposed to run. firing james comey remains one of the best decisions that the president made. the only problem is, he c

by the way, who got to stefan halper? who cast him to covertly meet lee meet with papadopoulos, carter page, sam clovis? uberit who recruited him from te federal government? if any of this started before july 31st, the alleged beginning of the investigation, we need to know when it started, and we need to know this big question. what did he know?no what that president obama know? when did he know it? all of this happened under his watch.re here's what i predict is coming in the days, weeks, months ahead. we will get answers for all of these pressing questions. they hate trump media mob democrats, deep state, they will get burned with a barrage, an avalanche of truth and evidence, the likes of which they have no idea isom coming. they don't want to know. joining us now, white house press secretary sarah sanders. sarah, your general reaction to all of us first, you were being attacked today also. >> secretary sanders: i think the white house is in a great position and what we have been saying for the last two and half years

and by the way, who got to step on halper. who tasked him to covertly meet with popadopolus and carter page. and by the way, who recruited him from the federal government. this clearly happened. if any of this happened before july 31, the alleged beginning of the fbi's collusion investigation, we need to know when it started. and finally, we need to know this big question -- what did he know? what did president obama know? and when did he know it? all of this happened under his watch. here's what's coming -- here's what i predict is coming in the days, weeks, and months ahead. we'll get answers to all of these pressing questions. the hate trump media mob democrats deep state, they will get burned with a barrage, an avalanche, of truth and evidence the likes of which they have no idea is coming. they don't want to know. joining us now, white house press secretary sarah sanders. sara, just your general reaction to all of this first. you're being attacked today also. >> i think that the white house is in a great position. and wha

also, look what they did to carter page, spies, stephon halper checking in on paige and papadopoulos. hillary's bought and paid for dossier. never verified and corroborated. according to the "new york times" this week it might have been one big disinformation campaign. also get gang of 8 information. whether the media mob likes this or not, this avalanche is real. and truth and justice are coming. and all will be held accountable, especially with the president who is standing strong and fighting back against the democrats they can't let it go now ever the president was the most cooperative president in history. not once ever invoking executive privilege. he did have the right under article 2 to fire mueller. rosenstein could have done it. just because he said these people are horrible need to be fired he didn't do it. did he? just like they talked about secretly recording the president and invoking the 25th amendment. they thought about it, talked about it, didn't do it. now, with their latest of course being congress bid to bring in don mcgahn why was he ever allowed to talk for 30 h

attorney general barr used the word "spying" on the trump campaign. >> oh, yeah. >> sean: stephon halper recruited to talk to papadopoulos. carter page and sam clovis. dirty dossier, the "new york times" was saying that might have been a disinformation propaganda thing hillary bought and used to influence the campaign and backdoor the president's election.th >> i think there is a lot that the obama white house and obama administration is going to have to answer to when it comes to all the background on this. and hopefully, for the good of our country, we really finde out how this all started, and we get to the bottom of it. l it doesn't look good. our attorney general saidhe that there was spying on our campaign in 2016. but, listen, again, at the end of the day, if joe biden gets in the race, let's even see if he makes it. the number of candidates that are so radically far left now in this field is unbelievable. so i don't know, maybe joe biden doesn't stand a chance. maybe they are looking for somebody so far outside of the norm, which is crazy to me, because i don't think the american

ron halper is executive directof he jewish community >> in our most sacred places of worship, during times of faith, minorities, not just jews, but others, christians, muslims, sikhs and others, can't feel safe. this is absurd. >> reporter: the shooting happened exactly six months af r another deadly attack at a synagogue in pittsburgh. the shootings have been condemned by jewish leaders and people from different religious groups. halper says more action needs to be taken and congress needs to spend more federal dollars to protect houses of worship. >> the fact that actually have to spend money on hiring off duty pole officers to keep our congregations safe says everything. al reporter: leaders at th dallas area muslim society in northern virginia issued a statement condemning the shooting. they say they stand in solidarity with the jewish commity. in rockville, darcy spencer, news 4. >>> and d.c. police tell us cial ers are providing s attention to jewish and islamic institutions as well as all religious places of worship within their districts. fairfax, montgomery and loudoun count

we know that the fbi used a man named stefan halper.d you think should we know more about how this got started? and cloak and dagger sort of way? and maybe, maybe bill barr will figure it out. >> so many in the media don't care. the senior level of the democrat party doesn't care. they are so set on getting the president of the united states, these are tactics, your infiltrating another campaign for really no reason. now we know there's absolutely no reason. you're trying to gin up the collision issue which is turned out to be a goose egg. which is really the big story. and the mentality of law enforcement used to work with and intelligence agencies, the fbi director and others, nobody puts the brakes on. and there seems to be absolutely no interest in this. in the new york times, the "washington post", associated -- all of the big media. i've never seen anything like this how can you explain? is it because they are the recipients of the leaks? is it because they are so ideologically partisan? that they just can't tolerate a president t

halper says more action needs to be taken and congress needs to spend more federal dollars to protectct that actually have topend money on hiring off duty police officers to keep our congregations safe says everything. >> reporter: leaders at the all dallas area muslim society in northern vnia issued a statement condemning the shooting. they say they stand in solidarity with the jewish community. in rockvie, darcy spencer, news 4. >>> and d.c. police tell us officers are providing special attention to jewish and islamic institutions as well as, quote, all relious places of worship within their districts. fairfax, montgomery and loudoun counties also say they're creasing patrols and visibility around their religious institutions out of aa abune of caution. >>> let's look at an incredible scene out west. tragedy unfolding on the west coast, at least four people dead after the constructionrane here came crashing down on to traffic in seattle yesterday afternoon. witnesses described hearing a large boom before cars were crushed. two crane operators are among the dead. diedthers were in ca

george papadopoulos, and sam clovis, who were all approached by an informant with the name of stefan halper. that is only the tip of the iceberg. trump campaign associate carter page was also electronically surveilled. by the way, can somebody teach comey what that means? after comey and others signed off onea that sweet an application, the bulk of information coming from the unverified, unverifiable, uncorroborated dirty russian dossier paid for by hillary clinton. let's not forget about the nearly 350% increase in unmasking requests by top obama officials in the election year of 2016. what did obama know. by the way, peter strzok and lisa page say all the decisions were made by lisa page. i think susan rice has questions to answer, john brennan, clapper, creepy uncle joe. what do they all know, when did they all know it? soon we'll have the answers to these important questions. in a letter to the director of national intelligence. congressman mark meadows. 53 closed door testimony transcripts he made public. i'm sure jerry nadler will join them. other fbi and doj officials who were involv

and particularly when they hire an fbi informant named halper, he goes on fishing expeditions with threem up. he did get george papadopoulos. he did not get carter page or george clovis, but the fbi sent this guy there to spy on him even though as we know now the mueller report has said despite russia's many overtures to the campaign, the campaign resisted every one of them. but that's not good enough for comey and clapper and brennan and the crowd. i'm glad that now in inspector general, horowitz, is looking into the fisa applications and the process -- trish: because how did it all happen? >> it's coming out slowly. trish: slowly but surely. we're expecting the ig's report in a month or two. that ought to be interesting. >> historians are going to get troves of documents, you're going to see that those who dismissed this, oh, this is a wild conspiracy theory, it's nothing more than to deflect from the real, legitimate mueller probe, you heard that when they talked about how it it start. and the biggest of all was how could you criticize the very institution of fbi and doj. they were sa

you brought up joseph mifsud, stefan halper.people pumping george papadopoulos to get information. these guys are at the nexus of this entire investigation. why aren't reporters going to talk to them? why aren't reporters flying to dr. chris steele? why aren't reporters at chappaqua right now, waiting for hillary? hillary, do you have a comment about no collusion because the dossier was cooked up and falls question i go to hawaii and asked president barack obama how he thinks about the fact that there was no collusion yet his administration accused donald trump's campaign of colluding. >> marie: i want to see the fisa applications and the mueller report lays out how the investigation started and it wasn't because of the dossier. i want to see the fisa applications because i think some of those conspiracy theories will be disproven. >> dan: if it wasn't because of the dossier and it wasn't because of the papadopoulos story, why was the fbi meeting with christopher steele? >> marie: so you don't believe mueller and his accounting

we know of stephon halper and his contacts that he made with papadopoulos and carter page and sam clovis. we know about the fisa warrant, as the grassley-graham memo said, the bulk of the information in the application was the clinton bought and paid for russian, of all things, dossier, ignored by the mueller report, which i willss ask you about in a second here. but those are two specific incidents of attempts to get into your campaign. your reaction to all of that? >> president trump: well, i think they made many attempts. and then you see the lying and you see the leaking and you see comey lied congress. nothing happened. you see him leaking. nothing happens. and this is leaking classified information. this is leaking really big stuff. i remember the young sailor. in fact, i helped him out with his family because he was so unfairly treated, as you know. i remember he had a confidential information which is a much, much lower standard than classified. and they put him in jail for a long time. they took away his life. and then you look at what hillary clinton did with 33,000 emails and

steffen halper to engage with p papadopoulos.> you have the surveillance and infiltration of the campaign, trying to set these guys up. if the democrats want to try and have this be a debate about the word -- whether it was spying or surveillance, they're going to lose that debate. most of the american public can see pretty plainly it was spying. dagen: i watched the whole thing. senator shatz, after a.g. barr used the word spying, senator shatz went back to him said i'm giving you the opportunity to rephrase that. >> why would he rephrase it? dagen: they were shocked by the word. what he said explicitly was we need to find out if there's an evidentiary basis for the spying, whether it was predicated. maria: it was just the dossier. dagen: they're going to look at it. he's saying i don't know, we're going to look at it. inspector general is looking at it, we'll find out what he found, horowitz in may or june and then he did say, well, unauthorized surveillance. they're looking to see if the surveillance was unauthorized. >> loret

they surveilled it electronically through carter page's emails and sent halper in person to court pagerly there was spying. but the attorney general made it plain that might have been well predicated and that's what he has to find out. the one thing we know was a conspiracy theory and was false is the collusion narrative. now it is important to look how did that come about? who invented it? >> sandra: last night on the story trey gowdy tore the democrats for now calling so heavily into question barr's credibility. here he is last night. >> nancy pelosi said that barr was off the rails, if anyone in the country would understand being off the rails it would be speaker pelosi. this is the guy that was voice voted by the senate. democrats loved him and thought he was an institutionalist and revive the department of justice. what they don't like is what he summarized in the mueller report. >> sandra: is that fair? >> i do think democrats make a mistake when they don't just say listen, if there was spying let's look into it. maybe it was lawful and let's move on. i think their fear is that w

then stephon halper working for the fbi in and around carter page and papdopoulus.d -- brian: downer. >> alexander downer, that george papdopoulus said the russians had damaging information on hillary clinton. didn't say emails. didn't say dirt, so forth. is that really the cause of an investigation into a presidential campaign? so i think we have a lot of questions about the fisa report. we have a lot of things coming together. bill barr says he will take a look at this. he didn't prejudge the outcome. he didn't say they did anything wrong. i think you want the attorney general looking over the premier law enforcement agency, what it is doing. but you have that. you have an inspector general report coming out on the fisa application. and you have those criminal referrals coming from congress we don't know about, because they're wrapped up in so much classified information. the key is, the attorney general need as grand jury. a grand jury can subpoena. a grand jury can indict. you indict someone at the fbi we'll get to the story pretty quickly. brian: i mean james c

brian: key on this is halper and mif mifsud. >> if joseph mifsud a russian asset is not in fact a russianence people feeding it to the obama administration, the obama administration in a world of trouble. that is their whole case. brian: yeah, mifsud disappeared somewhere. thank you, dan, appreciate it. >> good to talk to you. ainsley: good to talk to you, too. steve: 20 minutes before the top of the hour. jillian has headlines. jillian: heart broken father holding out hope after a fell lop poses as his missing son. >> he is alive somewhere. i know he is. you can't give up hope. as soon as you give up hope, then what should i do? declare him dead? i mean, i'm not going to do that. jillian: timmothy pitzen last seen at water park with his mother in 2011. 2011 she killed hersel herself left a noe her son was safe but would never be found. brian rini who said he was that missing boy is due in court tomorrow. 2020 hopeful beto o'rourke slamming prime minister benjamin netanyahu as a racist. >> this is somebody who warned arabs was coming to the polls. racism. this is someone who has joined fo

"daily caller" reported he spoke to steven halper, part of the carter page setup or meeting.nd the whole area. he was working for the fbi in probing the trump campaign without them knowing it? at least michael horowitz is trying to get an ends to that. no democrat seems curious about that. steve: seems that information should be in the mueller report. we'll have in a week. stay tuned. ainsley: president said this cannot happen sphene. someone has to be held accountable. we take up zoo of so much time last two years. we hand it over to jillian with some headlines. jillian: fox news alert. sergeant ben heinz, christopher slutman and corporal robert hendricks dying in combat. corporal hendrix releasing a statement about her son. he loved what he did. he was willing to die for his country. he loved his service, loved his country and loved by everyone that knew him. he was just 25 years ago. slutman and heinz were squad leaders. they were close and poked fun at each other. they were due home in the next few weeks. firefighters from slutman's firehouse honoring his life in new york

what was professor halper was doing, doing work for fbi?of what the attorney general says he is pursuing how this whole thing started. >> which is great because a lot of people feel there were some bad actors in the department of justice and the fbi. so behind the scenes between michael horowitz, the inspector general of the department of justice and also mr. huber, who is looking into all sorts of things that could be criminally active, sounds like we could eventually know what is going on but of course the department of justice and the fbi never confirms an investigation. never say in public, yep, they're investigating xyz. they just do it. >> that was happening in washington yesterday. meanwhile the president was in san antonio, texas talking about border and immigration. there is another caravan in. hundreds carrying children. they told guatemala we're coming in, there are 1100 of us, we're heading into your border. let us in, join us. steve: that's right. the president might call up more troops. he also tweeted this out. i think what t

engaged one of their informants halper, a professor, to infiltrate the campaign and work with papadopouloso try to get information. so if the democrats want to get in a semantic battle over it was spying or not spying or surveillance they'll lose the battle. most people by definition who hear what was done connect the dots and say it was clearly spying. >> i don't think that's the case and i don't think that the polling on this bears it out. we need to see the mueller report. what nancy pelosi was reacting to and democrats was the attorney general of the united states of america using right wing talking points. so using the term spying when it was a counter intelligence investigation into trump campaign officials tied to the russians. >> bill: that's not what he said. the attorney general of the united states, not the attorney general of donald trump. >> you could have listened to bill barr using the term spying and you could have heard it from a deep stater and thinks it was trying to get the president out. it isn't -- there is a legitimate reason to have investigate that. there were camp
