super patriot jim comey. this is important. we haven't even discussed the glaring omissions in the fisa applications. that's a t big deal, too. played on multiple occasions, comey's fbi withheld exculpatory evidence to information from the fisa court. the omitted carter page, who previously assisted u.s. government agent, our cia. in fact, an fbi attorney actually altered an email so that it stated the opposite about carter page, that page was not a source for the government agency when in fact he was. they omitted damning information as determined steele sub source, again, a poster and egoist. they omitted two exculpatory statements come up or george papadopoulos. he spent two weeks in jail.ad when he was being sailed to surveilled, saying outright, noi interference, they just got thae of the trump campaign, russia. one omission after another, one lie after another. why lie about the sub source to get trumped? why lie about the true status of carter page, apparently helped undercover risking his life to help the cia, was fully

and that was under jim comey's watch. and he knew very clearly. >> sean: congressman, he signed it three times. he certified it was verified. if i, sean hannity -- what would happen to sean hannity? i think if i lied before fisa court, premeditated lies with unverifiable document, i don't know, maybe, i think,d probably likely, i would be charged. and put in jail. and even mark meadows couldn't get out, as great as he is. >> that is true, sean. you would not only have run into a problem with signing off on that, but you know, jim comey is tht there doing a victory dance. the only reason he's doing a victory dance is because he's not in jail. he may be celebrating the fact the ig community now found him inept. >> sean: not yet. >> they did not find him a criminal, yet. but as we start to look at this, they are bragging about all things. john ratcliffe is exactly right. bragging about all kinds of things that are in this report that shows another thing. adam schiff's memo, not only was he wrong not once, not twice, but thre

if i were jim comey, jim comey, andrew mccabe clapper, brennan, strozk, page, i would be struck by the comments of durham, is very important not to overlook the damning findings inside of this inspector general fisa report. let me start with the very basis of fisa abuse, we told you for some time. it's true. nunes got it right, grassley, graham got it right. according to the report, that dossier "played a central an essential role in the fisa investigation in carter page." you will see, you don't have the dirty dossier, you didn't get the fisa application and the fisa warrant. the report is clear about that basically saying, no dirty dossier, no warrant. we long have reported that's being 29 so-called intelligence garbage. that was confirmed today as steele told the inspector general that this dossier was not a finished product. remember the interrogatory in great britain, i have no idea if any of it is true? based on one single source, a compromise of, an unreliable source with a massive ego apparently who likes to make things up. it was uncorroborated intelligence, all of it. we now

how incredibly hard is it, jim comey? how many have been turned down in the past 15 year?ou don't have the numbers do you? not many is the real answer. but that wasn't even the most damning part of the interview with that liar you just saw. at one point jim comey was asked if lying to fisa court to spy on american citizen might merit professional consequences. here is how he responded. >> if you were still there and all of this came out and it turned out it happened on your watch, would you resign? >> no, i don't think so. there were more mistakes more consequential than this in my tenure and the important thing is to be transparent about it. >> tucker: think about it.co there were worse mistakes than knowingly using partisan lies to spy on american citizen but jim comey won't tell you what they are because he believes in transparency. did you catch all that? that was all in one sentence, by the way. t sentence that contradicts itself. did anyone notice? nobody seemed to. we need new inspector general to find out what he is talking about. how worried should we be? can we t

what my constituents are asking me, when will jim comey, hillary clinton, barack obama, joe and hunter for the hell that they drug this country over the past three years. my answer to them, today more definitively than ever is election day 2020 will be the day to hold all of these figures accountable in these people are begging and asking, when will jim comey and others who are involved from the russian collision hoax to the phone call with the president of ukraine, everything debunked along the way, when will they be legally held accountable, that's a question that's left many unsatisfied with at this point. >> honestly i don't know if it will be but to your point i like this because it empowers the american people and american voters, they can be held accountable at the ballot box. i want to get to the media bias that were seen right now, mainstream media and from your colleagues on the left, but also hollywood, robert de niro is not a friend of the president and he might actually -- i want you to see it and not in turn react to. >> some of the most unredeemable characters. [laughter

report was in any way vindicating of jim comey, then the bible vindicated judas.se you saw -- [laughter] over and over again the work of jim comey criticized and the bias reflected. really, look, these aren't just small mistakes that were made, this is the alteration of evidence. this is committing a fraud before the court. if officers of the court behaved the way james comey did in your court, judge, you'd hold them in contempt -- >> yeah. they'd be on the bus to bell hallow. but one of the things that i don't think people understand is that horowitz's job was to get the facts. and not necessarily to draw a conclusion. and so this was no, there was -- nobody came out and said, yes, i hate donald trump. and he drew the conclusion that because strzok and page were just two people out of the whole group of them who admitted hating donald trump, that that couldn't possibly be the reason of all of them. it was kind of crazy, but that's finish. >> well, the inspector general's report is one piece of the puzzle. of course, the crescendo will come when we get the final c

same jim comey who said the fbi didn't give a whiff -- it's the same jim comey who said he didn't leakl things in the very document he leaked. that's the jim comey we are talking about. about.march trey gowdy always good to see you. >> martha: admit they are -- president trump has a pretty good chance of winning. donna brazile on the new polls and whether that fear for her party is real. coming up next. ♪ if you have moderate to severe psoriasis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. it may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. otezla is associated with... ...an increased risk of depression. tell your doctor if you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or if these feelings develop. some people taking otezla reported weight loss. your doctor should monitor your weight and may stop treatment. upper respiratory tract infection and headache may occur. tell your doctor about your medicines an

it was an indictment of jim comey's leadership at the fbi.iggest takeaway out there, maria, what the inspector general's findings clearly delineate, even if you concede, and i don't, even if you concede there was a predicate to start this, there was no predicate to continue a counterintelligence investigation against the president of the united states. they had to do it by making those false representations to the fisa court. maria: yeah. we'll speak to devin nunez shortly of course. you referred to the nunes memo back in 2018, february of 18, where he wrote out all of the misconduct that took place by that cabal of people. then schiff came out with that correcting the record memo which we know now was wrong, just flat-out wrong. you mentioned some of the wrongdoing. one of them we know from the michael horowitz report was altering of a document by a fbi lawyer. tell me about that. where are you expect accountability, congressman? >> well, as the inspector general's findings outline, what are referred to as errors and omissions are false stat

plus, why was jim comey uninvited from tomorrow morning's edition of "fox and friends." and what happened to his former boss, rudy giuliani? and today more republicans are pushing russian disinformation with a straight face, passing on conspiracy theories when they know the truth. why one evening. good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. this was day 1,054 of the trump administration. we have breaking news tonight about the news that is coming tomorrow morning. both politico and "the washington post" were first to report that committee chairs plan to announce the articles of impeachment during a press conference in the morning. politico reports democrats, quote, plan to unveil at least two articles of impeachment on tuesday, charging president donald trump with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. the judiciary committee plans to vote on the articles on thursday. nbc news has also confirmed these latest developments, and this comes after another marathon hearing on the hill in which democrats and republicans in the house judiciary c

it showed one thing that is perfectly clear under the corrupt leadership of jim comey, that guy. a small group of high-ranking powerful officials, and as the ex-inspector general also confirmed, they did it at the height of the election. and then beyond. they literally wrecked the reputation of one private citizen, outright lied on for separate warrant applications and the omitted exculpatory evidence. the even doctored team material to say something just the opposite of what it meant. nothing was verified. 17 significant failures in accuracy and omission. this is beyond really bad but don't take my word for it. let's listen to what the inspector general horowitz had to say earlier today. >> how would you describe the behavior here of knowing that the sub sub saurus disavowed the dossier and that was a primary reason you got a warrant? finding that a lawyer doctored an email to keep the investigation going in a way unfair to mr. page. this is not routine. do you agree with that? >> it is not -- it certainly better not be routine and i don't know any reason to think it is routine.

it's been reported he wanted to investigate hillary clinton and jim comey. his allies in congress sought to impeach rosenstein for not pursuing those. what keeps you up at night when you see a president and attorney general so disdainful? checks and balances, self-police, it's one of the pillars that hold up a democracy. what do you think personally when you know mccabe and what he's been through, jim comey was here, all the people who have been smeared by donald trump in terms of their motives for investigating the campaign and the ties to russia cleared yesterday by the ig, exonerated from the smears, the accusations of treatson. >> it's troubling we have a president who targets people for an investigation. it's troubling once people are exonerated after a thorough investigation, the conclusions are not accepted and instead you have a second backup duplicate investigation that's designed to come to a different conclusion. you mentioned before the statement that seeps like it was coerced from mr. durham. first it's weird for a prosecutor to comment on an on

jim comey is a good person -- unfortunately, you are not. proved by a federal judge, comey tells us. amidst the fact that the fbi lied to the judge. the fbi did not insert spies in the trump campaign, no, they just use spies to monitor the trump staff. jim comey does not think you have google or doesn't care you have google. doesn't care what you know, they could issue a hundred ig reports, all of them exposing jim comey the sinister fraud and he knows and of it matters because he knows he will never be punished. that's part of what we learned today. what else did we learn? we are always happy to be joined by federalist sr. editor mollie hemingway. as someone who followed this from day one from orchard takeaway? >> there is no question the ig found rampant abuse of the fisa process, the fbi engaging in bad behavior as it sought to spy on a member of the trump campaign. the spin that you showed from other people, even worse than what you were talking about, which is at one case you had the fbi lawyer dr. evidence to make it seem like a differe

jim comey is a good person -- unfortunately, you are not. proved by a federal judge, comey tells us. he omits the fact that the fbi lied to the judge. the fbi did not insert spies in the trump campaign, no just to monitor the campaign staff. and so on. we'll never know the difference. jim comey doesn't think you have google apparently, or more d likely he doesn't care. they can issue a hundred ig reports. every one of them exposing jim comey as the sinister fraud he has and he knows none of it matters because he knows he will never be punished. that's part of what we learn today. what else do we learn? we are always happy to be joined by federalist senior editor mollie hemingway. as someone who followed this from day one, what's your takeaway? >> this is a report that is looking if there was abuse in the fisa process and there is no question they found rampant abuse. dozens of instances of the fbi engaging and bad behavior to spy on the trump campaign. it shows people weren't actually in court. even worse than what you were talking about, whi

once again i think it shows, jim comey's lack of judgment. we don't know the extent of this, but what we do know is this was his shot. these were people operating, and that tone including the moral turn starts at the top and seeps down. so this i think is just a terrible blight again on the service of jim comey. one final thing i wanted to get in about the fisa court, we need to remember how the fisa court came to be, and it was part of the reaction of the congress bipartisan only and we've now had the many years, and i actually as the attorney general have approved pfizer applications it's a very difficult process. how do you do it, and you ask questions and you i guess except representations. my data, of the key fbi agent and the senior lawyer at the justice department. it's a very tough process. i wouldn't go quite so far, and we do need to take a careful look at this entire apparatus because the judges, the 11 judges of this a very important court are operating at a terrible handicap. plus the handicap, there's no lawyer or voice on the i

what is l jim comey and his colleagues doing.on him. s he's saying this is all lies. >> my first thought on reading the tweet that jim comey put out is that he didn't actually read the report. if he did read the report, it's dishonest and engaging in this spin of trying to put on a strong face, a strong posture to be on offense but he is not acknowledging, he's not accounting for all of the mistakes that were made under crossfire hurricane and he's the fbi director. so where the taught is tha -- tt the buck should stop at the top, he's advocating for zero accountability as if no mistakes were made at all and it's a reaffirmation that president trump made the right decision in getting rid of james comey because to have the inspector general report come out and for someone like jim comey and andrew mccabe to say there's nothing to see here, no mistakes were made, it shows they didn't belong in the position this were in. maria: let me get your take on what were the most damning parts of the ig report. it's 500 pages. it's hard to re

a lot of that interview was jim comey setting up stroman. you know, we were accused of all of these terrible things, and see, we were exonerated. if you go back to when republicans asked the ig to do the investigation, he stood accused of abusing and manipulating the fisa court, which is exactly what the ig found him guilty of. and it is a little bit difficult to really credit jim comey's claim that he knew nothing and was just distanced from all of this, but -- >> dana: especially when you're talking about a presidential campaign. i think, that you cannot to be as a leader of an organization, you cannot be divorced from decisions like that. >> and as chris wallace pointed out, this came on the immediate heels of the shellac he over the handling of the hillary clinton investigation. so the idea that you are going to take one that is even more politically sensitive and then not be involved at all, it is just very hard to believe. >> dana: lesson taught something that we just heard. this is from senator schumer, and just in this hour he has la

report will show we have lots of evidence against director comey, jim comey. somebody who has now -- who has had several i.g. reports call into question his credibility and competence leading back to 2016 and 17. >> bill: we shall see next monday. thank you for your time today from the white house. >> i'm not a woman who feels sorry for myself. i hope my three daughters are

i think that jim comey is to be congratulated for saying he was wrong because we don't often hear thatpeople at the top of the american government. >> jesse: you should say that sometimes too, you should apologize to the president for saying he was a colooter and the dossier was not a big deal. >> juan: those are facts. he admitted that he was wrong and i think the second thing is, process mistakes got made. >> jesse: process mistakes. >> juan: but they were not made because of donald trump or because of that, there was none according to the inspection. i may finish my point. so you have no bias here which was the selling point coming the inspector general report going to prove bias or no bias. nothing that was said by jim comey yesterday or the inspector general indicates there was any political bias and starting this investigation or pursuing it to the contrary, they were real convictions on three of the four people who were monitored. >> greg: they were 17 errors. you are not supposed to know what people believe things have to see 17 errors in what direction? >> juan: you know that

for example, how does jim comey, how do you justify signing a warrant that how do you justify in this whole process doctoring key materials, still using it to keep in the phony investigation going? verified. remember, you signed a three of them. how do you justify and probably proudly proclaim your vindication when you look at 15 failures, inaccuracies, and failures relating to this warrant? how do you justify signing a warrant when the materials, the vast majority of information in the application is unverifiable? there is no so-called evidence. how do you justify, then use the clinton dirty russian dossier she paid for as a central and essential part of a fisa application. you didn't have the dirty dossier, you weren't getting the fisa warrant. how do you justify renewing the fisa warrant, still no verifiable information and the available information corrected? how do you justify in between finding one, two, three, you tell trump it's unverified but salacious. by the way, can we get a straight answer? when did you first learn about the dossier? did you ever take any steps at all to

ken, were you surprised to hear this reaction from former fbi director jim comey?actually wasn't, yasmin, i knew when i started reading the report that comey made a mistake when he wrote the op-ed expressing total vindication. he's right in part, he was vindicated on the notion that there was a deep state consphereconsphere conspiracy at the heart of this investigation. donald trump and his mignnutgnne not willing to acknowledge that part of the report. but there are errors and sloppiness on the part of the fbi. this report, even taking it outside the context of the trump/russia investigation, this would be a significant report. it's the biggest investigation ever conducted of how the fbi gets secret national security warrants to surveil americans. groups like the aclu are horrified by what was found here. it's nuance, and it's getting distorted in the right wing media. >> you bring up a really good point here, i can't help but think that the overarching theme of this investigation, i.e. it was not politically motivated in being opened initially, is sort of being g

important for president trump and his allies is they have been pointing the finger at people like jim comey, sally -- sally-- sally eight gates -- claiming they were at such a low level, he never got to them and they were unaware how bungled this investigation was and i think that goes back to what i was saying, the processes were so bad, i don't think a lot of went errors and omissions to the upper levels. host: if you want to read his story, you can find it, his analysis of the report released yesterday and the fi >> house democrats move ahead with articles of impeachment against president trump, charging him with abuse of power and obstruction of congress. read the text of the articles of impeachment on our website c-span.org/impeachment. today members of the judiciary committee will meet to write the final language. watch c-span2 for the votes to move the impeachment proceeding to the house floor. follow the impeachment process live on c-span2, online on c-span.org, or listen live on the free c-span radio app. >> democrats in the house announced articles of impeachment against president

jim comey is on fox this morning, and he said, "carter was treated unfairly." does the u.s. government owe carter page an apology? >> well, i can certainly tell you based on what we saw, they do. and here's the bottom line: many of us have been looking at this secret fisa court for years saying this isn't first and won't be the last time the f.b.i. misrepresents evidence before this court and proceeds. we have tried to reform the proceedings. senator lee, a republican, senator leahy, a democrat, myself, and others have been pushing for fisa reform. we couldn't get the republicans to join us in that effort. maybe now they will. this should be a bipartisan effort to clean up the fisa court. what happened in this situation was inexcusable. but remember what the inspector general said is the bottom line: opening this investigation was warranted and not political. >> brennan: he also said there were 17 significant errors that he uncovered. >> no question about it. >> brennan: i'm wondering if you have confidence in the current director, chris ray, to be able to fix some of these

important for president trump and his allies is they have been pointing the finger at people like jim comey, sally -- sally-- sally eight gates -- claiming they were at such a low level, he never got to them and they were unaware how bungled this investigation was and i think that goes back to what i was saying, the processes were so bad, i don't think a lot of went errors and omissions to the upper levels. host: if you want to read his story, you can find it, his analysis of the report released yesterday and the fi >> c-span's washington journal, live every day with news and policy issues that impact you. wednesday morning, we talked about the justice department inspector general's report on the fbi with jerry dunlevy. discussion about the articles of impeachment introduced by house democrats with kimberly whaley. alabama republican congressman mo brooks will be on to talk u.s. policy in afghanistan. be sure to watch c-span's washington journal, live at 7:00 eastern wednesday morning. join the discussion. >> live wednesday on the c-span network, the house returns at 10:00 eastern for work

is important and important for president trump and his allies, they been pointing the finger at jim comey sally gates and people like that, but inspector general report cleared them of any wrongdoing saying that these mistakes were at such a low level that and never got to them. they were completely unaware of this investigation was. i think that goes back to what i was saying about the process was so bad i think a lot of these errors and omissions went up to the higher levels. >> if you want to read his story go to the washington times website and you can get it there, his analysis of the ig report released yesterday and the findings from it. thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> c-span hitting camp 2020 competition is in full swing. all across the country fiddle and high school students hard at work creating short documentaries on the issues they most like on the 2020 candidates on their campaigns. i would love to see your progress, tickets behind the scene and share your photos using the # student camp 2024 and a chance to win additional cash prizes. still working on i

what did jim comey sign off on 3 of these fisa warrant requests. lisa page and peter stzrok, prosecute the lawyer. case agent number one, who is it, prosecute them. >> as i dug through i was surprised to see there was so much because the initial headline you see is this is nothing but a president - james comey and andrew mccabe did not know what was happening but it is clear no one in the fbi was not updating evidence to be exculpatory, these fisa applications continue to be renewed and reviewed, decision-makers say it did trickle up. >> they took an inch and got by with it and took a mile basically. is what happened. that is why they have those inaccuracies and got by with it so then it was like a double down, double down, double down and this is why the all thing got away from them but it is astounding to me they thought they could get by with us and were not going to be called into account and no one was going to be prosecuted. shannon: this is what james comey had to say in reaction. >> the horwitz report is not only moving the goal posts but t

the last time he met with lavrov was the day after he fired jim co comey.er everything you know do you believe there is something truly off about trump and russia? >> there's no question there's something deeply odd about the way this president interacts with russia. we have never seen anything like this before. you go back to the helsinki meeting and all of the claims that you just made denying the -- or at least downplaying the effect of russian meddling in the last election. that is behavior we've never seen from a president. russia is our most significant enemy on the world stage and you have to be on your game with each one of your interactions and i don't think we've ever seen a photograph out of the oval office along the lines like the one we've seen today with lavrov almost standing behind the president, behind the resolute desk and it's remarkable and maybe like the one lavrov took in the oval office which was taken by his own photographer because we didn't have one there. >> here they are and that was the meeting last time. >> stay with me please,

hill and msnbc where he is a paid talking head and another thing internally to his own people and jim comeywas fbi director at the time. we know that john durham, the u.s. attorney for the state of connecticut who is doing this investigation has now asked for and will receive call logs from john brennan, emails from john brennan from the time that he was the cia director, as well as contemporaneous notes that brennan took when he was meetino with these other leaders. we are looking at one of these are many of these process crimes, making a false statement, perjury, which seems to be what john durham is picking up. a couple of weeks ago, john durham said that his investigation is not an injury. it's an investigation and it's a criminal one. >> tucker: brennan would've have to know this, correct? he was at the center of this. for him to say confidently the steele dossier played no role in the fisa warrants, but common sense tells you that he knows this to be untrue and he said it. >> absolutely, just like he knows that there was no but he wasn't honest about that andn neither was jim comey. w

>> jim comey told chris wallace he did not read the applications that he signed.re of director of fbi, and court assumes he signed it he mist have read it, interrogated lawyers and fbi and agents, and those who prepared it. nobody double checked anyone else, the true target, was the guy run for president of the u.s. u.s.u.s., if they can be ty with something that high profile, you can imagine how sloppy they are. david: judge andrew napolitano thank you so much. >> thank you. >> before we head to break, what is coming up on "evening edit" with elizabeth macdonald. >> senator elizabeth warren appearing to backtrack, from her all in government takeover plan to take over health care. she is not talking about that a quote often choice, this after she lost half her national support, we have a disturbing new scandal, doing potentially significant damage to bloomberg's campaign, disparaging jokes about women. and more of what have you been debating, fisa court slamming james comey and fbi team under him, ordering fbi to come up with a reformed plan. in less than a month.

. >> it is striking because jim comey would say we had other evidence by this point so it wasn't just based on the carter page warrant. why were you misleading the foreign intelligence? that is a very legitimate beef that law enforcement officials facting not john q. public out there but a presidential campaign, now a president-elect of the united states didn't say we have a problem here. >> this is a very bad fact set that's laid out here. the problem with this i.g.'s report is it doesn't neatly acquit anybody's version of the events. it also does not suggest the jim comey version of events that we were headed in this direction anyway and so who cares. the fisa courts have been shrouded in secrecy since they came about. they are not accountable to anybody. this is a reason why you have heard people make complaints like that and usually they fall on deaf ears because the national security import has outweighed it. >> if by then you knew donald trump jr. brought russians into the trump tower, papadopoulos was under scrutiny, contacts with wikileaks. if you had a whole lot of other stuf

why did jim comey sign off on three of these warrant requests? lisa page, why are there being called to account? prosecute the lawyer. case agent number one. who is it? prosecute that person. >> shannon: as i dug through i was surprised to see there was so much because the initial headline you see is, anything the president or his supporters have suggested -- maybe it's true james comey and andrew mccabe, they did not know the minutia of what was happening. it's clear people were not updating evidence that could be potentially exculpatory. these applications continue to be reviewed and renewed based on faulty information. the decision-makers may not have known that. >> they took an inch and got by with it. then i took the mile basically. that's what happened. that is why they have those inaccuracies and they got by with it. it was like a double down, a double down, a double down. this is why i think the whole thing got away from them. it's astounding to me. they thought they could get by with this and that they were not going to be called to acco

absolutely, just like he knows that there was no but he wasn't honest about that and neither was jim comeywe know he lied to the fisa court, we know they lied multiple times to the fisa court to get warrants against carter page. i think at that level, with everything being classified and with their arrogance at the same time, i think they think they can just get away with it. the truth isn't going to come out in the end. it looks like it will come out. the one i want them because i love the country and i want to believe in our justice system. you see roger stone in effect facing life in prison. you see the whistle-blower venerated as a christ figure. you are a legitimate whistle-blower and you go to jail. you got to wonder is this on the level? >> i was talking this with my children the other day and they ask essentially the same question for they say, when i was growing up, i always assumed adults were smarter than kids and adults were fair because there were adults, we all come to realize it. that's simply not true. people have political axes to grind. sometimes karma is a real thing and

former fbi director jim comey saying he was wrong after damming testimony from the justice departmenthael harowitz. he did not find evidence of political bias driving the investigation into donald trump's campaign, but he said no one in the fbi including jim comey, was vindicated in his report. >> 17 errors and you say it was handled in a thoughtful and opponent way. >> he is right, i was wrong. i was over confident in the procedures built over 20 years. procedures built over 20 years [ applause ] thank you. it's an honor to tell you that liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. i love you! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ cologuard: colon cancer and older at average risk. i've heard a lot of excuses to avoid screening for colon cancer. i'm not worried. it doesn't run in my family. i can do it next year. no rush. cologuard is the noninvasive option that finds 92% of colon cancers. you just get the kit in the mail, go to the bathroom, collect your sample, then ship it to the lab. there's no excuse for waiting. ge

up next, jim comey offered kind of a lame apology.ot a big shot over the ig report but is it too little, too late? victor davis hanson and former fbi director chris swecker tell us next. they >> i have total confidence the fisa process was followed and the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by the doj and fbi. i think the notion fisa is abused is nonsense. >> laura: don't you love those old sound bites? they were so much fun. almost a year ago, actually over a year ago.on that was comey dismissing concerns fbi was abusing power to spy on the trump campaign.ve now, he persisted withss this le even after the ig report came outt last week. writing in "the washington post," the allocation of criminal conspiracy was nonsense. there was no spying on the trump campaign. the truth is finally out. six days later, comey changing his tune. >>th i was wrong. i was overconfident in the procedures that the fbi and justice built over 20 years. i thought they were robust enough. it is incredibly hard to get a fisa. i was overcon

according to jim comey it was not a big deal at all compared to a lot of other malfeasance currentlyn at the fbi. none of which you would describe in any detail. the fisa court appears to disagree. today in a rebuke, even the "new york times" called, quote, extraordinary, the fisa court accused the fbi of repietiedly misloading the court in the carter page case. the court gave the fbi until january 10th to propose changes to its procedures to prevent future abuses. francey hakes is a former federal prosecutor. thanks for coming on. when the court itself attacks the fbi for subverting the process, at that point there is really no denying what happened. is there? >> well, no. tucker. it completely destroys the democrats' argument that there was anything partisan at all in the complaint that president trump and president trump supporters and the republican party were making early on all the way last year. early last year and even before that talking about this fisa warrant against carter page and talking about being spied upon while people are trying to make much of the fact that presid

jim comey also signs a fisa application verified october 2016. close to trump tower 2017.t is salacious but unverified president-elect. light again any signs two more fisa fisa applications. he lies. and the irony of all of this attorney general flynn, not comey who face is behind bars for lying when the fbi didn't even think he was lying. but they are going after his kids and he goes bankrupt. oh melissa you will prosecute my son or fall on the sword. i am shocked at general flynn's decision but without a doubt comey played a central role of the weaponization of these most powerful tools that we can trust to our government and they turned them against week, the people. he didn't act alone. let's see what former cia director john brennan, and notorious liar, what role he's played in all of this. i can't wait to get to the bottom of the fact. according to multiple sources, he strongly advocated for hillary clinton's bought and paid for dirty dossier to be included in the official until assessment. time will tell. the inspector general horowitz confirmed this fact in his rep

this is his, this isn't jim comey, he fired in 2017.his is his fbi director. >> current -- >> who he put -- >> current director. >> put in the job. simply saying, remember what chris wray is saying. yes, inspector general, who works for our department, tasked with investigating this, i agree with the conclusions he drew from this report. stunning stuff. >> and current? well, you're the current inspector general, but -- another tweet i wanted to note to you bring this out. from cnn global affairs analyst susan glasser tweeted the trump era in full today. articles of impeachment, the death of the wto, the rebranded nafta deal, public feud with his fbi director, meeting with the russian foreign minister for no apparent reason. a presidential campaign rally in a battleground state and just tuesday. so right. it's tuesday. what is thursday looking like? >> that's the thing that we, it's hard to put all of this stuff in the right context. >> yeah. >> because you're so close to it. what we do every day, so close to it, minute by minute. you st
