don't you think that was a contributing factor to the loss, not only jim comey's contribution? short let me give you a answer, no. the total margin in those three states, pennsylvania, .7%. under 1%. in michigan, .2%. wisconsin, .7%. he campaigned every day of his campaign and wisconsin. every day. on the morning off up to over 28, he was ahead the same margin is hillary clinton. crashed after they comey letter just as hillary clinton did. he campaigned every day. it wasn't a matter of hillary clinton not campaigning. it was a causation event. the sending of that letter caused her to drop in the polls, like a rock and a pond for the next 10 days. saturated news coverage around the clock, saturated news coverage with the headline on cable television, and all the major newspapers, hillary clinton under criminal investigation. two days before the election, mr. comey sent a letter. early sunday morning, it was a whisper. he said, oops. sorry, got it wrong. a little too late. host: we will invite the colors to ask questions. --you want to call we will take you back to the time where

it's time for holier than thou jim comey for lady justice to take off her blindfold and see them for what they are. let me be clear. this is mean in the attack on the fbi or the department of justice because these agencies are bigger than a couple of tainted inhabitants. this is not about one party versus another. it's not even about spying on an american citizen. it's something more it's about an attempt to change the course of american history using the most powerful agencies in the united states government. how dare you! that's my open. tell me what you think on my facebook page, twitter and instagram. #judgejeanine. congressman rob desantis has been at the forefront of having this released from the beginning. i guilt's everything you said it was going to be. the question is what happens next? >> there will be a number of things, chairman nun else said publicly -- chairman nunes said you will have another memo going through the same process including the state department and their role in this. the men he has raised problems for some of the individuals you mentioned, including for

in don't you think what as contributing factor to lost, not only jim comey's look and let me give you short answer, no. the total margin in those three states in pennsylvania, .7%. under 1%. in michigan, .2%. and in wisconsin, .7%. russ feingold ran for the signal in wisconsin and campaigned every day of his campaign in wisconsin. every day. en in omorning of october 28th , he was ahead the same margin as hillary clinton. by about six or seven points. he crashed after the comey letter, just as hillary clinton did, and he campaigned every day. so wasn't a matter of hillary clinton not campaigning there. there was a causation event, the sending of the letter, caused her to drop in the polls, precipitously like a rock in a pond, for the next ten days, saturated news coverage, around the clock to the hard very sneaker sat rated news coming with the headline on cable television, on network television in all the major newspapers, hillary clinton under criminal investigation. now two days before the election, mr. comey sent a letter, early sunday morning, it was a little whisper and he said,

and in fact, jim comey, as i was saying before did actually fill out protocols. he went out in very exacting details, described for the american people, both what they found and what they did not find. and it was what they did not find that led to that decision not to impanel a grand jury in this case. >> so, speaking of the american people, ned, the fbi is funded by us, the taxpayers. therefore, they need to answer to the people. but are the above criticism from the president? >> absolutely not. look, absolutely not. the fbi nor any other government institution should not be above criticism. as public servants, we should all be held accountable. that includes the fbi. that includes the broader intelligence community. but here's the key, alex. they should not be politicized. the fbi could not be turned into a political weapon, a political cudgel. that's what president trump and his allies on the hill have done. there was a poll leased friday night. a majority of republicans distrust the fbi. the same republican party that for so many years has touted itself as th

they don't know how much to the degree jim comey involvementsh , but would you admit that? >> she definitely was losing because she lost the electoral college. she won by 3 million votes so she must've been winning among a lot of people. what we know with certainty and i don't offer an opinion here. on a sober 28th, every public opinion poll including those constituencies give her 5.9 national popular vote and electoral vote margin on the morning of october 28th. larger than barack obama had at that point in his campaign in 2012 over mitt romney in within 10 days she dropped like a rock and nothing happened other than saturated media coverage of the national headline that she was under criminal investigation. a lot of those voters by november 9th and afterward thinking as afterward thinking as much as i would like to see hillary clinton president or maybe i don't like her, but i don't want donald trump, stay home. the vote was down and also a lot of her voters that were weak switched over to trump and that was a direct result because statistics don't lie. >> these are last-

mike: deep thoughts coming out of jim comey. he needs top find a hobby and set it aside and let this thing progress. i don't know when it became toxic to democrats and parts of the media to question whether it's all right to question the behavior or activities or actions of a government institution. that seems odd to me that. >> how that is being thrown out there as a problem. the the american people are smart enough to you understand that the men and women out on the streets doing the hard work protecting this nation, that's goes on, and what we are looking at is potentially a problem, a small pocket of politicization. charles: the small pocket is at the top. at sat crucial point the notion or idea that somehow perhaps an executive tbran much weaponized the fbi and members of the fbi who have so much to say for a political candidate that they went into action. it's scary stuff in our country. >> this is a small number of people who conduct an investigation that threat really aren't equipped to conduct and allowed to breathe int

but that obviously wasn't the reason he fired jim comey.e told lester holt he fired him because of the russia thing. so, it looks to me like that firing was an act of obstruction. this firing could be, too. if he really truly believes rod rosenstein isn't doing his job, then he can remove him. but again, that's not why he would be doing it. he would be doing it, as you said, to take control of the russia investigation and that's dangerous. >> so, jeremy bash, there are so many people -- there are so many witnesses -- i've had so many sources tell me that donald trump's obsession is in removing d.o.j. leadership and taking control of the mueller investigation. whether that means firing him or simply having someone to, i don't know what he thinks, strip him of his budget. there would be no shortage of witnesses to come into bob mueller's room where all of his investigators are to hear from source after source after source about what donald trump thinks of the russia investigation. how is that not blatant intent to obstruct an investigation? >

jim comey was a republican. ann andrew mccabe was a remember, these are all appointees and are republicans. so make the case that they're somehow biassed and in favor of hillary clinton and out to get the president is just not right. >> that's something that we have been talking about for months. at the risk of annoying everyone, is i had been told that there was going to be a lot of there there about the whole probe, and now i've got the memo, and it's only about one person that everyone used to agree was very peripheral. i turn now to a man at the center of the controversy engulfing the united states tonight. that's not hyperbole. michael isikoff, why are you in the memo. does it suggest, as viewers have been told, that you did something wrong? or that your sources did something wrong in dealing with you? >> i was as surprised as anybody to see my story cited in the memo as having been extensively cited to the fisa court. number one, everything in the story that i broke in yahoo news in september of 2016 was i

if he supported the firing of jim comey, what was his motive? might have been fair and legitimate for the president to replace jim comey when he walked in the door at the white house thinking that he didn't like how comey handled the hillary clinton investigation. but it doesn't look like that's what actually happened. there is a gap of several weeks if not months. and then he suddenly comes up with this idea that he was going to fire comey, tells russians in the oval office that was due to comey's involvement in the russia case. i finally got that monkey off my back and goes on national television and tells the american public it was really about russia. so although abby lowell tries to side step the question a little bit, he doesn't really answer it. i'm sure what bob mueller asked jared kushner about but perhaps more importantly than asking tried to discern from other sources was kushner also concerned about comey because of the investigation. >> there are reports we haven't confirmed but in books like "fire and fury" and elsewhere and steve

steve bannon was on the senior staff when the decision was made to fire jim comey. we know through reporting, and don't hold me to it, i believe all of you have reported on steve bannon not being a fan of the advice that donald trump got to fire jim comey. one of the people who gave him that advice was jared kushner. i'm told the person perhaps with the most at stake has been and goes before the mueller investigation might be jared kushner. >> certainly. there's no love lost between steve bannon and jared kushner which is a significant understatement. yes, we know from our reporting that steve bannon, that former chief of staff reince priebus, were opposed to this firing thinking it would bring far more harm than good. jared kushner was not necessarily the leading voice but approved of the decision to do so, backed up his father-in-l father-in-law's decision to fire the director and a school of thought in the white house this might be popular among democrats because they were mad at comey for throwing the election to hillary clinton last year. >> a terrible politica

the fact that bill clinton met with loretta lynch forced -- jim comey to do it he had to do. guest: first to get your facts wrong. she sent her opinions to the staff people that it would be a violation of the justice department's policy. get your facts straight. it had nothing to do with loretta lynch. you are certainly an individual who uses adjectives. i will not use the words you used about president clinton. i don't know if you look yourself in the mere and says -- ami describes you the minority that you are you. -- let me describe to you the minority that you are in. bill clinton had a 65% approval rating. that is the highest approval rating in the history of approval. you find yourself in a small minority. with all due respect, i am glad you are in a minority because most people do not use terms like that for an incumbent president with a 65% approval rating. caller: i just want to question the validity on the basis of your research. you are going strictly based off of holes leading up to and up -- based off of polls. if you are wearing a trump shirt out on the street,

jim comey needs to be put under oath. he needs to be questioned. m, i want to know why you exonerated hillary clinton months before you did the investigation, before it even took place. jim, what do you know about trump eating fbi agents peter strzok and lisa page and jim comey, what do you know about andrew mccabe waiting three weeks to alert congress about the emails that had been found on anthony weiner's laptop? by the way, what did you know and when did you know about hillary clinton's paid for a dossier? they do know it was phony, jim? did you know it was bought and paid for by an opposition party candidate?as did you know it was presented to a fisa court? did you pay christopher steele? did your want to pay christopher's deal, the former british spy, to put it together with russian sources that he likely paid? jim, let's cut the sanctimony. what is going on today happened on your watch and with all due respect, i don't see any street in the future big named. if i was you, jim, i'd be saving these comments for your lawyers. back to the memo th

>> excuse me, fired jim comey. maybe i'm jumping ahead, butted a donald trump just fired jim comey, not given the russian interview, i wouldn't have been there. >> did you leave there knowing more than a lot of witnesses? >> yes, like i'm saying, it was not a waste of time. i'm not a victim here. they had to have me in there, even though i had to spend money on legal fees this and that. they did not waste their time, they did not just gratuitously have me in there for no reason and to be mean. >> finally before i return to maya wiley who's going to do some legal analysis for us. the other question when you broaden out, this notion that the theory of the case may turn on donald trump knowing about the hacked emails in advance or partaking in it. is it possible that he has that exposure? >> i think you would be giving donald trump too much credit. i think if vladimir putin had a plan like this, he would tell donald trump because he would not be able to keep his mouth shut about it. it would hurt vladimir putin. >> yo

chris, i'm glad you bring up jim comey because the premise of devin's campaign here that fbi and dojbiased against donald trump. chris, let's take a big step back here. in the campaign itself and now we know because you can read it in democratic memo, while there was an fbi investigation of the trump campaign and multiple individuals in the trump campaign, you do not hear a word from the fbi about that very serious investigation about the possibility of russian collusion with the campaign but you hear jim comey time and again out there saying, we are investigating hillary clinton, now we are not investigating hillary clinton now we are back to investigating hillary clinton. a lot of people believe that jim comey's actions may have prevented hillary clinton from becoming president of the united states, but devin's contention is that the fbi and doj are actually biased against donald trump. i have to tell you if there was any bias between fbi and doj, they had a very weird way of showing it during the campaign itself. chris: well, here you're getting to the bottom line because for all

and then jim comey was fired by this president. there was a whole, oh, my gosh why do you fire jim comey. neil: right. reporter: they have been called out from both sides of the coin here. nancy pelosi is taking her ire out on devin nunez. neil: politicians being politicians. thank you very much, my friend that is the issue, release of that memo, what it could mean. already democrats are crying foul about why republicans were reluctant to release a democratic memo essentially criticized this republican memo. so i don't know it is a mess, a total mess. the president we're told welcoming all of this because would call in question the fairness and veracity of the fbi period. back and forth we go, back and forth we go. we have a former assistance fbi director ron hosko? what are your thoughts release of this period? i know politics and be aware who is in charge and when and how it fits their argument and how, but this is going to compromise the fbi and now it is republicans in cabal of embarrassing the fbi and hurting its job and misre

jim comey, republican.people they're republicans investigating -- >> ken starr every step of the way gets information from the department of justice. >> i want to talk about something the president said today. >> we could go on about the '90s. >> the president today was saying something that was not true. that's why i don't call it breaking news, but he was saying something about orrin hatch. and he said orrin hatch said he was the greatest president in american history. and i want to play the president here for a second. >> orrin, i love listening to him speak. he said once i am the single greatest president in his lifetime. and he once said i'm the greatest president in the history of our country, and i said does that include clinton and washington, and he said yes, and i said i love this guy. and it was detailed. he said this and this and orrin hatch, and he said no i didn't say that at all. his aide said senator hatch said he would like to work with the president. >> if you look at that original orrin h

they made it clear that he is ,rustrated with the president after he fired jim comey in may and his advice on the memo being disregarded. cnn also reporting the president's declined to be interviewed as part of the coverage of the super bowl on sunday. nbc confirmed the president passed on the interview request but says there is a standing open invitation should he change his mind. here at the trump hotel and washington, d.c., waiting for the president to address the republican national committee meeting. ♪ the event here at trump international hotel running a bit behind schedule. while we wait for the president, we will show remarks from earlier today. house speaker paul ryan and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's eking during a news conference at the gop retreat in west virginia. >> good afternoon, everybody. how are you doing? first, i want to express that our hearts and prayers are with the victims of yesterday's tragic accident. for those of us who were there, we were just very grateful for the first responders. especially our doctors. our doctor caucus and husband and wivesour

not only did he ask jim comey for a loyalty pledge, he also asked director of national intelligence, dan coats, to lean on comey about the russia investigation, and he asked nsa director mike rogers to publicly announce there was no collusion with russia. and he tried to stop attorney general jeff sessions from recusing himself from the probe. you remember that? he was reportedly grousing, the president was. he was saying, sessions was supposed to be his guy, asking where is my roy cohn, referring to the lawyer who taught trump how to attack his enemies. he asked the now ousted deputy fbi director, andrew mccabe, whom he voted for in the election as well. now we have the president trying to get the deputy attorney general to commit to him being on his team. now, it all seems to relate to the president's desire, shared by certain members of his party, to release a memo that may well undermine the administration of justice in this country. and those, my friends, are the facts. so now let's take this situation one-on-one. former cia director and cnn national security analyst general mich

but since those first charges were filed, steve bannon, jeff sessions, jim comey and sam nunberg have all spent time in the special counsel's office space in washington, d.c. what sorts of pieces of the story might steve bannon, jeff sessions and jim comey and sam nunberg who was a trump campaign official, what sorts of things could they have shared -- what threads could they have pulled that would have revealed additional crimes on the part of the president's former campaign chairman and his deputy? >> well, nicolle, these could all be independent tracks. i wouldn't necessarily draw a straight line from sam nunberg and jim comey, for instance, to rick gates and paul manafort. what we've seen from the special counsel as the submarine surfaces from time to time, is that there are many different aspects to the case. i imagine that continues to be true today. >> and let me ask you, larry lit man, you wrote a piece before today's guilty plea about mueller's momentum and you wrote, there's greater cause for hope this week than last that the full contours of the story, whether it involves a

chris, i'm glad you bring up jim comey because the premise of devin's campaign here that fbi and dojiased against donald trump. chris, let's take a big step back here. in the campaign itself and now we know because you can read it in democratic memo, while there was an fbi investigation of the trump campaign and multiple individuals in the trump campaign, you do not hear a word from the fbi about that very serious investigation about the possibility of russian collusion with the campaign but you hear jim comey time and again out there saying, we are investigating hillary clinton, now we are not investigating hillary clinton now we are back to investigating hillary clinton. a lot of people believe that jim comey's actions may have prevented hillary clinton from becoming president of the united states, but devin's contention is that the fbi and doj are actually biased against donald trump. i have to tell you if there was any bias between fbi and doj, they had a very weird way of showing it during the campaign itself. chris: well, here you're getting to the bottom line because for all t

so, from jim comey he want aid loyalty pledge and he pleaded with him to drop an investigation. from rod rosenstein we're learning from "the new york times" in a report last night, that he asked rod rosenstein for a loyalty pledge. he asked koets, head of an intelligence agency to deny kwoopgs in the media, to go to the press and say that there was no evidence that trump team had any ties, whatever, cooperated with russia. he asked the same of admiral rogers. he asked christopher wray to fire mccabe on twitter, among other places, and he asked andy mccabe, former acting director of the fbi, for a time deputy director of the fbi, who he voted for, called his wife a loser. can you talk about just the unprecedented nature of what donald trump demands from his law enforcement and his intelligence chiefs? >> sure. it's incredibly unprecedented and that was quite a long list you read. and the charitable explanation is that it reflects the fundamental misunderstanding of a man who spent his entire career running what was essentially potentially at times successful, but at its core a fa

. >> as far as the president's treatment not only of the fbi but of jim comey still, what do you think? >> well, you know, i think that is -- our president is a smart man, and he understands that if he continues to chip at the fbi and question its integrity that when it comes after him, there are many americans like the caller who are not going to believe what the fbi says about him. because he has made an effort over the last year to impugn the integrity of that institution and what it does. so that its credibility is now in question. >> next week we're going to have lannie davis on our program to talk about his book. i don't know if you've read it, but the title says "the unmaking of the president 2016: how the fbi director jim comey cost hillary clinton the presidency." what do you think of that sentiment? >> i'm so past that election. we are where we are right now, and i think we need to work within -- with what we have. it's like crying over spilled milk. i think james comey -- i have great respect for him, worked for him. i think that he believes in the integrity of the american

and the extent to which the firing of fbi director jim comey may or may not have been a result of an struct justice insofar as the president, you know, quote/unquote wanted comey to look past the fbi investigation of michael flynn. >> garrett, the white house wants this investigation wrapped up. just today called the investigation a politically motivated witch hunt. you say it's further along than we think. how much longer do you see this going on? >> well, i mean, i think, quite frankly, we're likely to see this play out for years, even if we just see, you know, the paul manafort and rick gates trials go forward at this point. i mean, this is a long process, as in any federal trial. but i think the fact that we are getting close to a point where special counsel robert mueller wants to sit down with and feels comfortable sitting down with president trump is an indication that bob mueller feels that he knows everything that he knows to know. i mean, he understands, you're only going to get one bite at the apple when you're interviewing the president. and so to the extent that, you know

such as firing jim comey. such as the false and misleading statement that the president helped craft aboard air force one about his son, don jr.'s meeting, at trump tower. other instances, as well. i think when we speak about the mueller investigation, hope hicks can probably be most helpful in helping mueller figure out a pattern of obstruction of justice. we know that's one of the areas that mueller is investigating. but as for this, the investigation on capitol hill, she can help them really navigate the campaign and try to fill in some of the holes for the congressional investigators. >> if you will, is there anybody more consequential, potentially? >> i don't think so. the president himself, obviously, that would be a bigger interview for any of these investigators. but she's about as senior as it gets in terms of a figure on that campaign and inside this government who has access to the president and can speak to his role, his personal role, at all of these moments. >> hallie -- hallie jackson is with us

so sacred and the idea that all these individuals had signed the fisa application, sally yates, jim comey, rod rosenstein, that the idea that awful them were part of some corrupt cabal is, a, bonkers and, b, incredibly demoralizing and has a material effect on the people who have to assemble fisa applications and try to gather permission from the secret court to surveil criminals, that it could affect a source being willing to let their information be placed on a fisa application if they know that the republican chairman of the intel committee and the president can just declassify it willy-nilly. can you imagine that scenario? >> yeah, first of all, i don't think we can pretend anymore that this is not impacting morale within the rank and file of the fbi. i truly believe it is. but even on a larger picture it tends to look -- to threaten the most important tool in their toolbox, which is the fisa technique. and the reality is i hope the democrat memo speaks to this. there's at least between 10 and 30 people who have to sign off on a fisa affidavit and at least 10 of those are lawyers. so

and i think jim comey today with his tweet encouraged them and asked them to stand fast. i think that's what they will do. >> ron, there are men and women of the fbi who are tonight in hotel rooms with documents spread all over the place because they're preparing to appear at trials tomorrow, just one of their roles as government investigators, as the authority. my question to you is, do you sense that authority is being diminished and how much damage has this institution already suffered? >> you know, brian, it is hard to measure the damage and calculate it. i know in every conversation i have with onboard fbi people now, and retired fbi personnel, you can't have a conversation with neighbors, co-workers, friends, almost known without being asked what is going on with the fbi? i think there is damage. i think it is certainly damaging morale. the fbi is struggling to try to figure out how will we get through this? but as stephanie said, i totally agree with her. these patriotic, hard-work americans. in field offices around the country and the globe will go about their bus

you know, loretta lynch told jim comey to call it a matter and that's exactly what he did and in fact it was a criminal investigation. we know he wrote an exoneration letter, james comey did before he did the interview with hillary clinton. what have you learned in terms of the opening reopening of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation? will there be charges, will there be accountability here, sir? >> maria? we're going to do our job in this department properly and correctly and i'm not going to be led in the discussion of all of the details of matters that you might be interested in. we can't do that in the media. we're going to restore the rule of law. we're going to restore pro pry" in how cases are managed and that's all i can promise you. maria: do you regret recusing yourself with anything related to russia sir? >> i believe i did the right thing. the only thing i can do is i participated in this campaign and it's such under explicit regulations of the department of justice that no one can participate in the investigation of a campaign in which they were an active participant

what did barack obama, lying jim comey know and what did the dni jim clapper on tv every day talking about, this what did they do with the information they had in 2014 to try to stop this from occurring. >> you are right. there was criticism that president obama didn't d. not act quickly or strongly enough when he found out that russians had meddled. i want to add to something you just pointed out what the special counsel's office said the influence campaign lost in 2014 but eventually turned to support, quote: the presidential campaign of then candidate donald j. trump and disparaging hillary clinton. but i want to move on because meanwhile, corey, you have three -- you have got three businesses, russian businesses, 13 russian individuals indicted for waging an information warfare, to meddle in the 2016 election cycle. as you well know, national security advisor mcmaster is saying it's incontrovert tillable and disputable that russia interfered in 2016 election. so, now that president trump feels okay, the books are closed, case over, no collusion, will president trump now focus wit

three times fbi director jim comey personally signed off on this claim, deputy director andrew mccabend rod rosenstein put their names to it as w well. why were all of these officials so certain that page -- who was a naval academy graduate, has no criminal record -- was betraying hisy country? we now know they were lying on the trump dossier, that's the unverified opposition research dumpy paid for by the rnc and hillary campaign and compiled by a british spy called christopher steele. the trump dossier made spying on him possible. how are we sure of that? andrew mccabe of the fbi said so behind closed doors under oath to congress this past december. if the democrats are now furiously denying that in anonymous leaks to synthetic reporters. but it's obviously true, and the minute we will talk to a member of congress was in the room when he said it. if the fbi had powerful additional evidence, why did they include the dossier in their request at all, w why did they lead with that? g the trump dossier allowed our government to spy on carter page, it's not a talking point, it is a fact.

paul, there has to be an effort -- i hope christopher wray is doing to restore credibility while jim comey the director of the fbi. clearly there were significant errors of judgment made during comey-era and now we have to get past that and now the only way to do it is let it all hang out. paul: when we come back lawyers from president trump reportedly advising him against sitting down with special counsel robert mueller despite the potential legal and political fallout, so what should the president do? we will ask former white it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. sucthey read more.have one thing in common. how do

>> rod rosenstein, when rod rosenstein wrote his memo justifying donald trump's decision to fire jim comeyed out comey for the act of going forward and making those new emails which turned out not to be new, public. he said it was against the department regulations. it should not have been done so close to the election. they had no knowledge. they knew they were helms but didn't know if they were duplicates or already examined them which they had. rod rosenstein actually defends the point of view of peter strzok. >> i'll tell you this. >> i know, he's a bad guy now. >> unfortunately both of those amazing institutions, particularly the fbi where a lot of agents take hard and take a lot of risks to protect us, both of those fbis have been led by incredibly corrupt people from james comey on down. >> it's outrageous for you to say that. >> is christopher wray of course nominated by trump? >> i don't think he's corrupt. he's wrong. >> if this memo says what we think it says, it's going to be incriminating of the fbi so we give them veto power which unveils unproblems with anti-trump campaign w

paul, there has to be an effort -- i hope christopher wray is doing to restore credibility while jim comey the director of the fbi. clearly there were significant errors of judgment made during comey-era and now we have to get past that and now the only way to do it is let it all hang out. paul: when we come back lawyers from president trump reportedly advising him against sitting down with special counsel robert mueller despite the potential legal and political fallout, so what should the president do? we will ask former white house counsel boyden gray next. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. pml, a rare, serious, pote

jim comey getting cheeky. listen to this.director takes another shot at president trump on twitter. we'll tell you about that. bill gates slamming bitcoin. why he says the cryptocurrency is killing people and a dangerous viral trend, how the cinderella diet is putting people's health at risk. joining us this morning dagen mcdowell, fox news contributor, jason chase and fox news contributor mary kissel. good morning, everybody. >> dagen: lots to discuss today. >> that whole cinderella thing is not cute. i'm married. i'm happy. that's not attractive. >> dagen: i want to see cinderella wearing a bandanna, no makeup, with running shoes on, that's how you stay slim. >> maria: all those diets, people believe in them. get back to basics, eat right and exercise. >> i want pancakes. you're making me hungry. >> maria: we had them yesterday. it was national pancake day yesterday. you should have seen the stack we had here. it was this high. >> you invited me on the wrong day. you don't get a belly like this by missing pancakes. >> maria

. >> so i had the pleasure of serving as jim comey's special assistant. i will say at the outset, i've spent my professional life telling the truth, gathering the truth. that's what fbi agents do. even in this new role i'm not going to change that. i'm biased in the sense that i had a front row seat to an incredible leader, someone who was not without fault, none of us are, we're human beings, we're not perfect. what i saw was a leader who was well liked throughout the organization. i know there were some criticisms and accusations that maybe that wasn't the case. i can tell you, it was the case. because i saw it. i can give you three examples. the first being, i spent a lot of time with the director while he was traveling. you knew it was a deployed organization. he had to visit the troops. i watched him interact with thousands of fbi employees. literally thousands. and seeing their faces as they interacted with him. as i've said before, not all of them agreed with him. we had a segment of the population that had some issues with the handling of the hill

he is in the same jeopardy as jim comey was. this is bad. >>so, last word to you james shults.ravesty of a sham of a mockery. why is he wrong? >> chris wray said himself that the sources sp methods are not being released. we're not talking about a national security crisis here. as norm would seem to portray. what we're talking about is this dispute of facts. and the fbi disputing what's in the report. not necessarily the sources and methods and the giant issue that will bubble up as a result of some national security emergency. it's not there. >> all right. gentlemen, thank you for presenting both sides of this. i appreciate it. good to have you tonight. >>> another topic that needs our attention. the president says americans are dreamers too. what did that mean? how did that line land with people? that is something that needs to be debated. we have two great people. navarro and schlapp. >>> a lot that happened in the state of the union address. the president used it for one part to pressure lawmakers. support the white house immigration plan. now part of the plan part of the o

jim comey crushed hillary clinton. this is crazy unless dan brown is writing it and putting it in a book. >> peter strzok is a guy who changed the exoneration level from gross negligence -- >> because they couldn't make a case. why put language in a letter that will presume it triggers a statute if you're not going to make a kpaeus. why do that? it makes you look in competent? >> no. it makes you look like the fix was in. >> that's what you say. you have to come back another day. i want to talk about paul ryan. i know you're not happy. i know leadership is in question there. so we have to talk about that. but this is more right right now. i don't understand why you are willing to die on this hill, jim jordan. this in satiable appetite to paint the fbi as dirty and trying to manipulate the election to help trump. it reeks of false equivalency. >> jim baker demoted. peter strzok demoted, reassigned. chief of staff for comey leaving the fbi. that's the top people. that's who i'm focused o. you know why we know the fix was

someone who was right there in that post-9/11 crucible with men like robert mueller, with men like jim comeyy people don't realize that christopher wray actually in the famous 2004 hospital incident that saw james comey and robert mueller prepared to resign over the nsa domestic program that christopher wray who is assistant attorney general then was prepared to resign with them. he was not read into the program. he didn't know what the controversy was but he stopped -- >> he was with them. >> he stopped james comey in the hallway and he said, look, i know there's something going on here, when you pull the rip cord make sure to tell me so that i can jump with you and that he knew that if robert mueller and james comey were prepared to resign over something that it was worth resigning as well. that's the man of sort of in defense of the justice department's prerogative as the defender of the constitution that he is. >> so given everything you've just told me and the fact that wray, according to our justice correspondent is saying wray's frustrated, top white house officials are worried he'll

what does he have to hide that he would fire jim comey and wants to undermine rod rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, that he was mad at the attorney general for not protecting him more. these things start to add up. and the behavior certainly in the mind of investigators and the special counsel has to have them thinking in addition to what they're actually finding through investigation that something is amiss here. >> look, i think you bring up the key point here, it's fascinating to me that the white house thinks they have soften the ground enough that they can survive politically the president refusing to testify or at least fighting over it. it shows they think they're winning to an extent this political battle at least with the people they need to. the other political debate of the week, the democratic memo in response to this nunes memo alleging fbi abuses in the early stages of the russian investigation is now on the president's desk. the president gets to decide if this goes public quickly in the short-term. what kind of pressure do you think he faces here? >> okay. normal p

very early months of the trump presidency and you think about how careful men like john brennan and jim comeywere with when they were testifying about what america knew and when we knew it about russian meddling. and they were so careful, in part because of the ongoing, they were so careful in part because a president who was almost childishly sensitive about the question of the extent of russian meddling had gone to war with the intelligence community before he had been inaugurated over the mere existence and over the action that jim comey took to tell him of the existence of the dossier, they had a client in donald trump, the intelligence community did, who couldn't handle the truth. to borrow a line from one of my favorite movies. i don't doubt anything that malcolm said but i wonder if trump had any kind of idea that this spy operation was under way to get to the bottom of russian meddling into our election. >> our friend julie ainsley is here to talk about this same thing, as we untangle words from that news conference is unwittingly, our national security and justice reporter, julia, ha
