is that hillary calling?president obama had trouble getting democrats to say i'm going with him over clinton. >> i'm not asking you to make a leap of faith, i'm asking you to look at the records. >> we were feeling good about our prospects. there was an obstacle to show she could be commander in chief even though she was a woman. >> when you are attacked, you have to deck your opponent. that is what i believe. >> we were running on the fact she was incredibly experienced, she could start this job on day one and just go. >> senator hillary clinton has more than doubled her lead over barack obama. >> we were as far as 30 points behind in the national polls. our view was if we didn't win the first primary in iowa, there would be no chance to win the nomination. so, he spent more than 80 days there in 2007, meeting one-on-one and in small groups. >> are any of these people over 30? >> i'm on my way to mason city, sioux city and council bluffs and out and around. >> how many people are going con vasing today? it's

that's why i'm supporting hillary clinton. hillary clinton is honest and trustworthy and -- >> cut. what's the problem? >> i can't say these words. >> what do you mean? >> i just don't believe what i'm saying. >> you're an actress. >> i'm not that good of an actress. honest and trustworthy. give me a break. make america number one was responsible for the content of this advertising. >> okay? the ad was sponsored by the beat crooked hillary pac backed by robert mercer. breitbart run by bannon features the same still video from the video featured by the russian troll account which shared the ad and their tweet was then retweeted by michael flynn. what does this show you? there's a synergy that takes existing content and then amplifies it, tries to expand its reach, in this case to try to demobilize african-american voters. more demobilization attempts. sanders supporters. sanders obviously didn't say that. and stein. i find stein of all of these pieces the most interesting, because once you look back, things become more obvious than they are when you are actually working in the campai

what people also don't here is julian assange doesn't like hillary clinton because hillary clinton wantedhim prosecuted for which he considered his misuse of national security data when he released some of the other material earlier. you would think the press would be saying wikileaks run by julian assange, who doesn't like hillary clinton. no. you would think they would say wikileaks, passing russian hacked content through. they didn't. we would interpret the content differently if we kept the tie to the source. something might say i like julian assange. i like russians. which time they might be more prudent of the content. some people might ask, why are they doing this? what is of interest in this? should some of this be discounted on the scripts because there's nothing comparable been done with donald trump. this is a like press leaking with a pestle fight anything it can from anybody and try to get out. this is asymmetric come happening only one side and it is taught to go. it is being used in this case to blunt the effects of "access hollywood" tape. which it effectively did that by

hillary clinton, secretary of state?of 9 people signing off on sending 20% of our uranium which is the foundational material for nuclear weapons to the hostile regime of russia, the hostile actor of vladimir putin? in 2015 "the new york times" reported, "now they announced their intention to acquire a majority stake. he received $5,000 in russia for a speech for a russian investment bank. the same lengths to make the kremlin, and it gets even more sketchy during the transfer of uranium one to russia. the clinton foundation received a millions and millions of dollars from the very people involved in the deal. by the way, in the lead up to this, and we had an fbi informant inside of pollutants in network right here in america and he was telling the fbi what he was witnessing. serious, serious issues. here's what he told me when we had the opportunity to talk to this informant. >> at some point you became aware that russia wanted to get a foothold in in the uranian industry and they were looking at this conglomeration that

comey told them it was strong who helped him draft the memo about hillary clinton.omey says it's hard to believe strzok was in league with clinton and against trump. comey said that he had confidence in the fisa process and the warrant to surveil carter page. though when asked to sign off on a major political campaign, he said he didn't know. he said he felt president trump asked him to halt the probe during their february 2017 meeting and said that's why he wrote this memorandum. he said president obama did not ask him to investigate the trump campaign. this isn't over. comey appears before the committees on december 17. so many conservatives aren't satisfied with this investigation. republican florida representative matt gaetz says the way the committees handled this reminds him of the death rattle of republican oversight. judge jeanine: my next guest had a front-row seat for james comey's defendant money. congressman jim jordan. you were in the room at the time. 245 times comey who was the head of the fbi in one of the most of important cases in the nairn can his

hillary clinton all of or attorneys got immunity. fbi going after cohen and seizing his records and uses this pre-text of russian collusion. a lot of headlines today were about how the russian collusion story is falling apart. that michael cohen went to prague and traded money for information. that's falling apart. the investigation was done differently than the way hillary clinton was investigated. >> republicans are going to continue to say, hillary clinton was treated unfairly. i believe that molly and other fair-minded americans would say, they just want equal protection. michael cohen did a lot of bad stuff. michael cohen did a ton of bad stuff. not related to the president and some of it related to the president and the campaign. he pleaded guilty. he is going to prison. i know there are a lot of republicans that say hillary clinton should be gone back after. drive the bus back around and look at hillary clinton again and do it right this time. take the findings of the report and do it right with hillary clinton. she should be

from the left that donald trump worked deliberately with the russians to steal the election from hillarynton, i don't see it when i read over what came through today. >> michael cohen was supposed to be their shining star. here so is one who flipped -- here is someone who flipped. he's trump's lawyer. the fact that he was given the maximum under the recommendation tells you he wasn't giving all that information to demonstrate collusion. he didn't give information to the point that prosecutors would say of course we have to be lenient. his level of cooperation would influence the sentencing. he didn't help in terms of moving the ball along in establishing collusion. >> i served under mueller. i think what gets people upset is the contrast between his aggressive investigation and the non-investigation of the clinton foundation and the hillary clinton emails. i don't think as many people would be complaining about the special counsel if i'm had gone over the emails and the foundation with the same enthusiasm and hard approach to it, but within the bounds of the law. i think mueller is movin

was the dirt on hillary clinton forthcoming? >>> it was the e-mail that set off a chain of events leading to the meeting. just a few sentences long, but every word subject to intense scrutiny, and speculation. >> would you read it to us? >> sure. good morning. ammon just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. the crown prosecutor of russia met with his father this morning. and in that meeting offered to provide the trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be very useful to your father. >> the father, of course, then candidate donald trump. and the e-mail's author, an unlikely man to be in the center of what would become a political firestorm. rob goldstone sat down with nbc news sin that mcfadden, to tell his story. >> you have been called a wide variety of names over the past year. useful idiot. dunce. clown. bonkers. puppet of the kremlin. sinister. any of that fit? >> i've been called much more than that as we

hillary should win 100000000-0. that's the definition of bias i don't know what is mr. adler. politics aside those two really didn't want president trump to when. this is just a small sample here across more than a year and 50,000 text between lisa page and peter strzok. here's another one for you. trump is not ever going to become president, right, right? strzok, no, he won't. we will stop it. why is much? let's be clear the american people deserve, absolutely deserve to know what motivated these fbi officials. i don't care if you don't see any bias there is no way anyone could possibly see those tax and sit there and tell you there was no bias at the fbi. jerry nadler is just going to ignore it all? >> is going to norelle. peter strzok says we are going to wave an insurance plan against this president. andy mckay the number two at the trish: i want to know what was going on today to destabilize the presence ultimately successful campaign what happened with that hold dossier. opposition research makes its way into

the number of "the russia hoax, the scheme to clear hillary clinton." one thing as i read through this, we got a lot of interesting things here. got a lot of really big sins like -- by the way, don't lie on a loan application. if you owe the taxes, pay the taxes. that's my advice. because obviousliout get in a lot of trouble. when you read these things, you say, okay, people did wrong things here. but none of it, not one bit of it, gregg jarrett, has to do with trump, russia and collusion. it seems that the media is only fixated on one thing. that is michael cohen's payment as relates to stormy and karen mcdougal and somehow we have a campaign financial violation. i have a list of them from obama and other people that committed them, too. >> and they're civil penalties. they're not criminal cases. why? to prove a criminal case of campaign violation, you have to prove the candidate knowingly violated the campaign election laws and prosecutors rarely are able to prove that because most people in america, candidates especially, don't understand the incredi

was the dirt on the democratic party, and hillary clinton forthcoming? as i was aware. i decided i would view the opportunity to check my e-mails to sit there, but to keep half an ear open. my eyes were definitely open. because although i thought, well, i don't really know about this subject, i'm smart enough to, i will be able to spot if there is a change in body language. >> goldstone said he noticed the mood deflate as the attorney talked about sanctions and the magnitski act. it didn't sound like dirt on hillary clinton. >> jared kushner next to me looked like he was becoming more and more agitated as the attorney continued and at what point jared said i have no idea what you're talking about, could you possibly refocus. >> and the attorney started again. >> then she started talking about how unfair it was for the adoption of russian children by americans. then my ears picked up. because i was like, what is she talking about? why is, what's adoption got to do with any of this? >> don jr. got up and said i don't really know why you would address this

this when i attended a hillary rally in philly. do you think hillary is a smart woman?enced. jesse: why didn't she nope her emails were classified? what else her greatest accomplishment as secretary of state. >> i'm not as intboarmd her term as secretary of state. >> we wanted her to be transparent and have more of a stance with that in the black communities. jesse: you want her to be transparent? >> yes. jesse: good luck with that. see the rest of this clip as well as the entire first season of.

can we start with hillary clinton? and james comey because we have a long list of democrats and trump haters who have lied under oath before congress and have faced no consequences. for example, long-time clinton aide cheryl mills, huma abedin lied when they told the fbi investigators they had no knowledge of hillary's private email except they used it either doj official bruce ohr, fusion gps founder glenn simpson they, of course, one of them was lying due to their contradictory testimony. nobody was held hostage like in fora year. dirdirty dossier author christopher steele his whole dossier was debunked he was fired for lying to the fbi. still working with the justice department and bruce ohr to get to special counsel mueller. james clapper lied under oath about the national surveillance program. so too did john brennan also likely lying under oath about leaking. and door forget james comey himself lied under oath when he said the report about the clinton investigation had not been written before she was interviewed.

we know that hillary had a private server, illegally.e know she had top secret classified and special access programming information, congressman, on that server. then we know that an exoneration was written in may of 2016 before they interviewed her or 16 other people associated with those issues. and three days after thesu interview, they basically laid out that she violated the law but they give her a pass. okay. then they begin this whole witch-hunt into the whole russia thing. by the way, long before this december so-called discussion that flynn had with his soon-to-be counterpart. f here is what is interesting to me. then we do have some russia collusion in the 20166 election. we have hillary and the dnc's bought and paid for unverified, uncorroborated dossier was that debunked. we know it was used to obtain a fisa warrant, four separate fisa applications against the trump campaign associate. we know that they lied to the fisa court. there were grand omissions in the fisa court. the bulk of the information was hillary clinton's bou

the hillary campaign worked in a conspiracy to deny bernie sanders denomination. >> hang on. hang on. i have to let antoine respond to that. >> is friday night. political malpractice.

strzok wanted and expected hillary to win a hundred million to zero. then it gets into they exonerate her for crimes we know she committed. she pays for a dossier that had real russian lies in there that were spread to the american people. what we learned this week in john solomon's column is that in fact the fica courts, fbi and all those people that signed the fisa warrants they knew they probably were false. they did it any way. that is a fraud on the court. >> that's absolutely right, sean. what we have learned over the last nearly two years of investigations, both john solomon and i, as well as congress al investigations is one thing, that the special counsel was appointed to investigate a non-crime. there was no crime there. and what was out there was actual crimes and potential crimes over the last two years that have been unraveled from uranium one and the testimony given by william campbell about the dealings both with clinton and the clinton foundation and now the stories that have come out that john is put out there that are incredible, that

i voted for hillary clinton. ed -- i would've written a book called the case against impeaching him and clinton. the frame errors of the constitution set out criteria for impeachment. you have to be convicted based on evidence of either bribery, treason or other high crimes and misdemeanors and at least at the moment i have not seen sufficient evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors to call for the impeachment of the president, who i voted against. i made the same case when bill clinton was impeached. i did not think they had sufficient constitutional basis for impeaching him. i'm a neutral objective nonpartisan civil libertarian who analyzes constitutional and legal issues without regard to whether it helps or hurts republicans or democrats. that is what i will continue to do. dedication in your book. this book is respectfully dedicated to an endangered species you write, general -- genuine civil libertarians who pass the shoe on the other foot test. guest: simply a variation of the golden rule. what i ask of a

hillary as laptops, on what basis? that decision had to have come from 7 floor of hoover building in washington, that might lead too very desk of former fbi director james comey. kennedy: does that mean he has commit perjury in some of his congress app testimony. >> yes! kennedy: now we're hearing when democrats takeover the critical committees, including the intelligence and judiciary committee, they will hand over some testimony of jared kushner and donald trump jr. and others, it is not fair they do the same with james comby an comey and hs testimony. >> absolutely, let's see who committed perjury, including clapper. biggest question, is when did the surveillance operation on trump campaign begin. who initiated it? right now if you follow writing of lee smith, sarah carter, john solomon it looks like john brennan with a international sting in australia dip pat in papadopoulos start the a hold chain told james com comey on oa file in america, if that is the case, perjury is all over the map, cia, fbi, doj. kennedy: a

speaking of james comey, by the way, the hillary clinton email controversy is back. a federal judge has given judicial watch to go ahead to demand more documents. i will talk with the president of that conservative groups next about the answers that he is looking for. stay close. ♪ the further into winter we go, the heavier i get. and while your pants struggle to support the heavier you, your roof struggles to support the heavier me. crash! and your cut-rate insurance might not pay for this. so get allstate, you could save money and be better protected from mayhem like me. mayhem is everywhere. so get an allstate agent. are you in good hands? ♪ >> harris: the oddly never ending clinton email controversy takes another turn as federal judge now has ordered an additional fact-finding mission into whether the use of a private email system was a deliberate effort to thwart the freedom of information act. that judge says that despite previous clinton email investigations, conservative group judicial watch should be permitted to the man documents and additional testimony ab

we already know barack obama emailed hillary clinton. >> right. >> dan: on her personal email accountck obama must realize this was not a government email. this is just -- >> he thinks people are stupid and they buy into what he is saying oh he never knew anything about her email that was unauthorized and unsecured and private. he was using a pseudonym to email her back and forth. also went on national television and said she never jeopardy died national security how could he know that unless comey is lying that he didn't tell the president information about that. the most important part is obama went on national television and said not only does she not jeopardize national security but that she was nearly careless. that's what peter strzok and lisa page used to sanitize comey's findings in the exoneration statement any used barack obama's terminology to clear hillary clinton. it wouldn't have been possible if hillary clinton was prosecuted for email scandal that barack obama would have had to give some type of deposition on it given his obvious involvement given that he eagle mailed

and hillary benefited through the foundation. she paid for a russian dossier full of lies.olute lies that were disseminated for the american people. where's that investigation, senator? >> we should have had a special counsel appointed a long time ago to look at all things clinton. so here's what i will do if i am the chair of the judiciary committee and the senate next te any information beyond the dossier offered to get the warrant? and if the dossier was unverified, how could you swear to the court that it was accurate? somebody misled the court. so i promise you and your listeners that we will find out how this warrant was issued. how could a judge determined that there was probable cause if the only document was the dossier that was unverified. how did the system break down? >> sean: senator, you have to be honest. not only did -- and that information was pushed out to the american people. they did not verify it or did they tell the courts of something i believe is pertinent. that hillary paid for it. why would they not tell -- why would they hide that from the court?

they called for hillary clinton's impeachment before the election. republicans swore that the day she was elected they would move to her impeachment. i would have written the case against the hillary clinton impeachment book. to make the point that i would have written that case, my publisher came up with an alternate cover. the case against impeaching hillary clinton. i would have written essentially the same book. it would've dealt with emails and benghazi and uranium but the legal criteria would have been the same. i think i passed the shoe on the other foot test and iqs many of my critics, friends and colleagues alike of not passing the test. allowing partisanship to intrude on constitutional analysis. one of my colleagues was firm when it was being impeached that a president could not be indicted while sitting in office and now that the president is front instead of clinton my colleague changed his mind. he saw the truth of reality and now believes a president can be impeached. my views have been consistent over time. if consistency is the hobgo

i wonder if it was hillary what he would say or obama. there's probably a tweet about that somewhere. michael cohen has been sentenced to three years in prison for his crimes. among them, campaign finance violations. sounds like a pretty big deal to me. but the president had some more excuses. >> my first question when i heard about it was, did they come out of the campaign because that could be a little dicey. and they didn't come out of the campaign, and that's big. but they weren't -- that's not -- it's not even a campaign violation. >> i don't even know what that meant. so much to unpack there. the president says his first question when he heard about hush money was whether it came out of the campaign when he heard about it. when he heard about it. he wants to know if it came out of the campaign because he probably knows, oops, campaign violation, but -- and when he heard about it. he seems to have forgotten this. roll the tape. >> i've actually spoken to allen weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with -- >> so what are we

for clinton -- hillary for clinton! for america. that was not intentional. for america. sher michael singleton, political consultant and sam stein, politics editor with "the daily beast." sam, let's go through the first one. i'm struck by trump's resolute denial of reality. >> you're struck by it? i'm not struck by that. >> the prosecutors up in new york, not the 17 democrats he talks about, not the witch hunt, all that stuff, the deep state. feds up in new york said, >> they said definitively he directed his lawyer to break campaign laws. he directed the commission of a crime. unlike you, i'm not struck by him denile reality, this is how he exists to build an alternate reality in which he is clean and innocent and above it all. at some point, facts are stubborn things. in this case it is very clear that tweet he put out is erroneous. it's a lie. he's in serious potential legal jeopardy here and what they lay out is a case in which he deliberately went out of his way to pay hush money payments to people because he knew

the hillary clinton thing.ares that hillary clinton paid for it and it was composed by a guy who admitted he would do anything to stop trump, meaning he would lie, which is what the dossier was. >> that's a familiar line, isn't it, greg? it has quite the ring to it since mrs. clinton herself used it. unbelievable. of course, the leaking, lying comey only cares about james comey and whatever narrative it is he wants to promote, including his primary job of covering up for mrs. clinton. so he's going to say whatever it is that promotes his own agenda and her coverup. absolutely appalling. >> and, madison, that's not only appalling, but he lied to the fisa court using exclusively the dossier, which he admits he hadn't verified. he deceived the fisa judges by concealing the fact that it was paid for by hillary clinton and the democrats. i'm willing to bet that the fisa judges would have wanted to know that vital tidbit of information that comey concealed. >> it's disingenious at the very least. of course he knows b

but hillary clinton one.she tried to move for the left to appeal to the sander scampered that did work although they thought it would come and donald trump was elected president of the united states and the american dream still has some life left in it. but it's good to keep in mind about the courts of ronald reagan but tickled the one i'm about to repeat which is that freedom is always but a generation away from extinction. if you look at this generation where dinner with now maybe with something to be worried about. all after paul tells us that millennials you socialism favorably and capitalism less favorably. bernie sanders, the majority of his support came from millennials. as i said the democrats have seized on this, whether it's cory booker or kamala harris or elizabeth warren, clearly bernie sanders for this the young lady that won the primary for congress in new york. they are admitting that there are socialist. it's no longer something they're trying to hide. socialism, democrat, aggressive have beco

hillary clinton had the inside track to the nomination.ut what he was able to do, like reverend jackson, was to expand the electorate, to bring new energy into the party, and to encourage young people to vote. he mobilized people that we had never witnessed in the american political process. but like reverend jackson, he was a game changer, and the rules that we transformed under jesse jackson's leadership enabled not just barack obama to succeed but also hillary clinton because we made proportional representation. we have equal division between men and women, and we ensure that every state that hold caucuses or primary that they're open to new people and that people, like bernie sanders, can come in and find their seats at the table. >> moving forward, i think some of the things that are most instructive about your tenure in 2016 in the democratic national committee's leadership structure, for that brief tenure, is what we've learned about it and how the democratic party and frankly the country is gonna move forward into 2020 with the les

greg: have you not had your fill of hillary and bill?he two-headed carnival show known as the clintons kick off their speaking tour in canada. [ laughter ] greg: where they have nothing but great things to say about the country and its leadership, i'm kidding, they rip trump a lot. and they sat in these weird box seat chairs, those chairs don't look comfortable at all. the same time, obama was at an event in houston where he's sitting in a huge chair. look at those comfy texas chairs, nice high back, good for the posture. but the clintons, they get chairs with no back. [ laughter ] greg: no posture. that's got to piss the clintons off. also, hardly anybody was there to see the clintons. the venues could seat 19,000. they sold only 3300 tickets. so i don't know what's worse, that they only sold 3300 tickets aout of 19,000 or that they actually sold 3300 tickets. >> it's upside. greg: why the weak turnout, perhaps they aren't selling the thing hard enough. i think with a few marketing tweaks they would fill the house. take a look. >> e-mai

that being the hillary clinton, christopher steele russian dossier.nd according to solomon, the fbi was fully aware that steele was, quote: had contacts with news media reporters before the fisa warrant was even secured. now, remember, the fbi attempted to bolster its fisa application. remember they used what we call circular reporting, yahoo news. by the way, they knew the source was christopher steele. really just one source but they like to create the impression for the court that there is multiple sources. no, that's circular reporting. to say recap the fbi under president obama, they got a warrant to spy on trump campaign associate carter page at the height of the 2016 election. in order to achieve this feat they had presented the fisa court judge with evidence that we know the fbi knew was sketchy and was not verified and they themselves had doubt about it ever being true. they knew the evidence was bought and paid for by hillary clinton that was withheld from the fisa court judges. the evidence was bolstered with the circular media reporting th

and they want the derogatory information i have on hillary clinton. they didn't like my back to on why the clinton foundation is a scam. they don't want that. they want me to go down for throwing the elections. russia must think we lost our mind in this country. trish: russia is getting what they wanted. we are in a divided state. we are double r scwowbling -- we are squabbling amongst ourselves. >> the justice department this control of the politically motivated criminals. the below deal i was offered was a criminal plea deal where i had to swear i knowingly and willingly gave misleading information to the prosecutors. that's why i refused to do that. i think my next two years will be spent before democratic committees. they don't pay for me to produce these documents. three days after christmas i have got to produce all this stuff. they can take a hike. trish: thank you again. this just breaking right here. new tonight, former national security advisor michael flynn has no idea if he'll need to serve jail time for lying to authorities. a judge postp
