"judicial watch" has been at the forefront of getting the fbi to release the fisa warrant. chris farrell, director of investigations and research for "judicial watch" joins us no. chris, good to have you here. congratulations to you, to "judicial watch," for the important work that always do for the country, but in this specific instance we're deeply appreciative because it goes to the very heart of what we have been talking about on this broadcast from the insipient point

at the same time he's talking about what happened with the clinton investigation, the focus of the witch hunt statement is about the mueller probe. as you said yourself, it was mueller had to the foresight to say this will be a problem, you cannot be a part of my probe and my team any longer. going forward, we look at this issue in two different chunks of time. one about whether he violated fbi policy by, one, using the professional phone as a device to talk about personal issues and bias and call into question the objectivity of the fbi, which is a very big problem going forward. on the other hand, it's the idea of how does this impact the mueller probe. because of mueller's decision not to interview him extensively, not to talk to him about why he made the at the same times, what his thought process was behind it, give him an opportunity or lifeline to continue, you see a clear delineation between when bias could have occurred and when bias was not allowed to enter the equation. so legally speaking in terms of the mueller probe, we're still in the objectivity land. when it comes to peter st

and others came after him, it with probably galvanize his base, look how well president clinton came out witch-hunt long ago. i'm guessing trump will come out of this well too. i think markets are sloughing that to the side but imagine rally you get, if theres were truth to idea get rid of what injures everyone which is trade barriers. like jared i'm not holding my breath but fun to imagine on occasion how much better u.s. economy if we were open to the world's plenty so fingers crossed. neil: jared, say you're not a fan, many are not, you expressed reservations about the president's approach on trade but i can imagine say a successor were to come in, say we resolve this, that's possible by the way, and let's say we were to desist and to stop, wouldn't it remind americans, wait a minute, these countries are still hosing us and we've given up trying to deal with that? so in a way did the president, say what you will of his approach, put americans on notice, this is happening right beneath your noses? >> i think that it's important to bring up because i think the majority of americans don't understan

hunt. rosenstein announced 12 russian intelligence officers were charged with hacking democrats and hillary clinton's campaign. >> they also hacked into the computer networks of a congressional campaign committee and a national political committee. the defendants falsely claimed that d.c. leaks was a group of american hackers and that guccifer 2.0 was a lone romanian hacker. in fact both were created and controlled by the russian gru. >> rosenstein also revealed that he told the president earlier this week about the indictments, so the president could, quote, make very important decisions for the country. but the white house missed yet another opportunity to embrace the truth, instead focusing on the fact that in its words, quote, today's charges include no allegations of knowing involvement by anyone on the campaign and no allegations that the alleged hacking affected the election result. this is consistent with what we have been saying all along. the white house is right. no one in the campaign was charged today, but they were certainly referenced in the indictment. on page 16 of the special counse

filled that the department of justice misled the courts, witch hunt, he also claims that he was being illegally spied on for hillary clintonnc. >> carter page, i'm not claiming that he's james bond, he's not 007, but this is a guy, even before the campaign, this is not trump related. even before the campaign, this is a guy who went around bragging about his contacts in russia. then you see the guy hanging around the leading campaign and so then the fbi said we got to look at this guy, by the trump campai campaign's own admission, carter wasn't a big player. the fact that they were looking into carter page doesn't prove anything about collusion or anything. carter page was one of these guys we never would have heard of him before all of this, but he was a guy who was on their screen before the campaign, and when he comes in the near orbit with the campaign, they put that together with what's happening with russian interference, that's when they looked at him. i don't think there's anywhere broader plot to interfere in our elections by the russians. >> so you think the fisa warrant was justified? >> they laid out the evidenc

a high ranking agent at the center of this effort to clear hillary clinton of all charges, all while opening up a subsequent witch huntnto donald trump and so-called trump-russia collusion. so he will be forced to answer for his extreme bias and more importantly for us to answer questions about the cultural of the fbi and what role political prejudice played in the fbi decisions in 2016 and beyond. one other note, the show is hitting the road it later this week to cover all the breaking developments with the president's trip to brussels, london and of course helsinki, and of course important negotiations with anita nato ad meeting vladimir putin. first let's check in with the american center for law and justice and counsel to the president, and one great attorney. jay sekulow is with us. i want to redo something very quick and i don't want to take your time, we have very little time. the president and his appointee took our time. but i want to redo this. this was in 2006 by judge kavanaugh. he said, it was a conference at george mason law school. he said it, justice scalia, what did he stand for as a judge? it's not c

dowling down on his calls of the witch hunt, writing this: so we now find out it was, indeed, the unverified and fake dirty dossier that was paid for by crooked hillary clintontted to fisa and which was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited mueller witch hunt. here's how bob goodlatte racket reacted yesterday on "sunday morning futures" with maria. >> democratic operatives related to the clinton campaign and the democratic national committee paid for the creation of the so-called steele dossier and turned it over to the federal bureau of investigation. what's so unprecedented is that the fbi then took it, weaponized it without ever verifying its credibility and brought it to the fisa court without disclosing the source of that information. that is deeply troubling. dagen: joining us now,, criminal defense attorney, fox news legal analyst mercedes kohl wynn. your thoughts on the release of this fisa document. again, an unvetteds do share paid for by the democrats. >> there are other provisions of that application. one of them, of course, is the fact that carter himself had begun and said that he was an informal advisor to the russian

hunt. tweeting, "looking more and more like the trump campaign for president was illegally being spied upon for the political gain of crooked hillary clinton." but a new abc news/"washington post" poll suggests voters have their doubts. roughly 50% disapprove of trump's handling of last week's summit with vladimir putin. the poll shows republicans are more inclined than democrats to give trump the benefit of the doubt. >> president putin, he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be. >> reporter: no doubt trump's own mixed messaging hasn't helped. >> the sentence should have been, i don't see any reason why it wouldn't be russia. >> these are serious matters and i think there's no ignoring the fact that, for whatever reason, this president acts like he's compromised. >> reporter: tonight, aboard air force one, trump fired off an angry tweet blaming president obama for russian meddling. demanding to know why obama didn't give the trump campaign a heads-up. and as the affidavit makes clear, the obama administration suspected that some members of the campaign were complicit. tom? >> david, thank you. >

dirty dossier that was paid for by crooked hillary clinton and the dnc that was knowingly and falsely committed to fisa which totally discredited the witch hunt. they were authorized and reauthorized by four separate federal judges, all four appointed by republican presidents. the application reads in part, the fbi believes page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the russian government. it also said the fbi believes that the russian government's efforts are being coordinated with page and perhaps other individuals associated with candidate number one's campaign. that would be donald trump. after several highly redacted pages, the fbi believes page has been collaborating and conspireing with the russian government. we should point out carter page has not been charged with any crime. he denied the allegations and accusations multiple times, but his answers have also changed and migrate and sometimes have done so on the fly as they did yesterday during an interview on cnn. >> you did advise the kremlin in 2013 or 2012. somewhere in there? >> jake, that's really a spin. i sat in on meetings, but to call me an adviser i think is way o

clinton. that was passed along to american intelligence officials. it became the mueller probe. keep going. therefore, the witch hunt is an illegal scam, put the capitalization on -- number one, it's not illegal. two federal judges have ruled is that bob mueller has the right to proceed against paul manafort. 191 criminal charges, 32 individuals chargesed, 3 companies. five people have pled guilty including national security advisor michael flynn and deputy campaign chairman rick gates. these are people cooperating. is robert mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest by donald trump? let's just jump forward here. first of all, the department of justice, which, by the way, is the justice department for the trump administration have ruled there are no ethics conflicts for bob mueller to rule this. rudy giuliani couldn't tell you what the conflicts were but, again, there's nothing in here that speaks to a conflict of interest as we would define it. you have three tweets, a bunch of claims and you have seven, eight, nine things or willful effort by donald trump to cast whatever bob mueller finds as being e

hunt." and he has worlds about that infamous trump tower meeting when don jr., jared paul manafort sitting down with a russian lawyer they were told had dirt on hillary clinton. cohen calls the meeting "a mistake" and "an example of poor judgment." but when i asked him if donald trump knew about the meeting in advance, cohen would only tell me this, "i can't comment under advice of my counsel." >> george, the big question tonight, why is michael cohen speaking out? is he trying to send a message? >> reporter: definitely. sending a message, as i said, to prosecutors, to the president and to the country, but tom, i also think it's deeply personal for michael cohen. he's been taking a lot of hits out there from allies of president trump, in the press, in the public. he wanted to tell his story. he wanted to send a signal that he's becoming his own man and ultimately, wants to work for what he calls resolution to this matter. >> now, we do want to mention, michael cohen has not been charged with anything, but he has changed his lawyer, which is very significant. >> reporter: for two reasons. number one, who that lawyer is. a veteran of the southern district of n

hillary clinton of all charges, all felonies she committed, all obstruction she is guilty of while investigating a russia witch hunt take down donald trump. here's what president trump had to say about the corrupt lovebirds strzok and page. >> president trump: you have to find out who did peter strzok report to. it was comey, it was mccabe but it was also obama. if you think obama didn't know what was going on -- i said it today with president putin. when you watch peter strzok's performance, the lover of lisa page, when you watch that performance the fbi -- i know so many people in the fbi these are incredible people. what they are going through watching the sky, a total phony -- how about we. it? >> sean: it's called liars, leakers, liberals, the case against the anti-trump conspiracy. when you take your time and you actually lay out real information, how many times did donald trump say -- they said today he's a liar. they said it so many times we don't care about the truth. this is now hurting the country with this one-sided agenda that the media obviously has that is anti-trump. >> that's one of the reasons i w

dossier paid for by "crooked hillary" clinton and dnc, knowingly falsely submitted to fisa, responsible for starting totally conflicted and discredited mueller witch-hunt whole dispute about the document boils down whether the justice department and fbi violated rights of a one-time junior foreign policy aide to the trump campaign. that is the carry page. adam: real quick appointment of clarification, did sarah sanders say in real world what it means to revoke security clearance for people no longer in positions they will see today's classified documents? they're already out. what good is revoking security clearance. what good does it do? reporter: excellent question. what it really means, i was talking about the people, it could ruin future prospects for these officials when they try to leave the government and want to get jobs. their security clearance helps them. a lot of private sectors will hire them on. they get extra money. work in consulting. that will affect their future prospects. adam: but they don't have access to current classified documents. i see your point, do they? reporter: no, exactly. no. it -- adam: brennan thinking he has access t

"look at this exchange. days later on august 8th, 2016. lisa page writes trump, not ever going to become president. right? right? he responded no, no he is not. we will stop it. then on august 15th, he told page, there is no way he gets elected. i am afraid we can't take that risk. it is like an insurance policy. you die before your 40. this matters. we will. it. it is like an insurance policy in case he gets elected. these are all comments from two senior fbi officials. responsible for investigate a candidate. there is more. way back in 2015, he texted her, "bernie sanders is an idiot like trump." on february 12th, from page "he

that was paid for by crooked hillary clinton that was submitted to fisa and which was responsible for starting the totally conflicted and discredited mueller witch huntlorida republican senator marco rubio is coming to the fbi's defense on this. >> i don't think they did anything wrong. i think they went to the court. they got the judges to approve it. they laid out the information and there was a lot of reasons unrelated to the dossier for why they wanted to look at carter page. >> let's go to cnn politics reporter and editor at large kris for the fact check. where do you want to start? >> this could take a while. marco rubio is right. donald trump is trying to link the steele dossier with the start of the fbi probe which became the mueller investigation. not accurate. we know from under oath testimony from intelligence officials it was a meeting between george papadopoulos and a professor who had tied to russia that initially piqued the fbi's interest. that point one. point two, this is related to devin nunez, the chairman of the house intelligence committee said the fbi never let the court know some of this information was gleaned from a document,

to say this is witch-hunt, to say this is politically-motivated when you have got -- >> it is politically motivated when you have people direct connection to the hillary clintonampaign. 100%. i think the president has -- >> i know it is in your best interests, guys to like continue this distraction and trying to disparage the investigators but we know, 35 indictments, five guilty pleas, one prison sentence. what russia did was unacceptable. what peter strzok and lisa page, no one should defend them. those text messages were inappropriate. trish: no one is defending russia either. this is where we -- >> president should stop defending russia. trish: jehmu, i won't disagree with you on that, however there is gigantic massive leap with russians interfering with social media stuff and russians conspiring trump campaign to steal the election some way. that is what has been put out there. that is what is put out there. so far no evidence of any of that. and i think it is damaging to the integrity of our democratic institution that it is out there in the first place. in fact vladmir putin may have gotten exactly what he wanted. >> i'm concerned about damaging our de

dirty dossier, paid for by crooked hillary clinton and the dnc, that was knowingly and falsely submitted to f ed tted to fisa, starting the mueller witch huntit doesn't explain why the fbi was interested in page if the first place. the document says the fbi believes page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the russian government. the next line is redacted. then it reads, blank undermine and influence the 2016 presidential election, in violation of u.s. criminal law. not to mention, after a week of trying to walk back his doubts about russian election interference, the president is now back at it, referring to it as a hoax. so, let's break it down with nbc news investigations reporter tom winter and national security analyst and former fbi special agent clint watts. back with me, the boston herald's kimberly adkins, and bloomberg's sahil kupure. sort out what the documents do tell us, setting aside this was an unprecedented release of information. there is a little something in it for everyone. >> this fisa document, which is perhaps one component of a much, much larger investigation, has really become a political fulcrum for peo

played an important role in clearing hillary clinton of all charges back in 2016.ha and then subsequently became a key investigator in the trump-russia witch hunt. he was ultimately removed from the mueller investigation after text messages revealed the extent of his anti-trump bias. this includes a text to his girlfriend, lisa page. on july 31st, just days after hillary's investigation ended and trump's investigation started. his text read, "this feels momentous because this matters the other one did, too come up with that was to ensure we didn't f something up. this matters because this matters. so super glad to be on this voyage with you." and look at this exchange. days later on august 8th, 2016, lisa page writes, "trump is not ever going to become president, right? right? "strzok responded no, no, he is not. we'll stop it." then on august 15th, 2016, strzok told page, there is no way he gets elected, but i'm afraid we can't take that risk. it's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you are 40. this matters. we'll stop it. it's like an insurance policy in case he gets elected." these are all comments from two senior

just dirty at its core can, it comes from the clinton campaign, the dnc, and i think chairman gowdy's got it right when this is just nothing but a witch huntterms of we still have no evidence of collusion which was what the original intent of all this investigation was supposed to prove. elizabeth: sean spicer says it's unreasonable to call it a witch hunt. he's essentially saying robert mueller should finish off his probe. what do you think of that? >> as it relates to collusion, it is a witch hunt, and any kinds of auxiliary crimes they may have discovered or people who are lied to investigators -- who have lied to investigators, that needs to be fully prosecuted. but the underlying premise of collusion, there is no evidence, there has not been any in 18 months, and as the chairman said yesterday, if there was, you could bet adam schiff would have leaked it by now. so let's get on with finishing up the investigation in a quick and expedient manner and a complete manner, and then let's move on to the more important things about confronting russia and dealing with the issues that the president has on his table right now. elizabeth: now, th

president gets up and tweets witch hunt every few hours, but that's not the same thing that he says i hereby invoke presidential privilege. i want to look at clintonersus jones and establish that the president cannot, in fact, be prosecuted. >> the minute he says i'm not going to meet with the special counsel, the minute the special counsel puts out a subpoena, that's when it's on highway to the supreme court. >> he's already deflecting on that. he doesn't want to invoke executive privilege. he wants to not have to invoke executive privilege. so the side show that we're seeing now -- it's just another reality show for him, but he's way ahead of that. he's deflecting it before it even gets to him. fact of the matter is there are people that are close to him that have been under indictment. the witch hunt rings false because he has sanctioned 13 russians that were indicted in this witch hunt. so that's all deflection from what's actually going on. and kavanaugh is one of the guys to be considered. i think the fact that he has a chance to look at a woman in the supreme court is probably very significant. >> yeah. >> but there's one real significant m
