>> martha, i'm not a fan of jim comey but i am of being fair.that fact pattern referenced in this story. jim comey was asked behind closed doors in a classified setting to address it, and he would not do it. his response was, it was so highly classified, he was not even going to tell people who were clear to hear it in a classified setting. so let the record be clear, i'm not a fan of jim comey, but i am a fan to being fair to people. i'm not going to indict him or convict him based on a reporting. my experience with him on this very fact pattern and the subject of the article, he would not address it in a setting where he could do so. it would have benefited him to do so and he still did not do it. >> martha: very interesting. trey gowdy, always good to see you, sir, thank you very much. have a good night. >> thank you. >> martha: hot mic moment that could have a lasting effect where this democratic race goes from here. sean spicer and rod zimmerman coming up next. >> i think you called me a liar on national tv. >> i'm sorry? >> i think you cal

i know jim comey for 30 years. a good friend of mine in the us attorney's office.i disagree with jim regarding the way the email investigation was handled, the russia investigation was. all that said i know him to be a patriotic american. i don't believe he would knowingly leak classified information and i think what the justice department is investigating is not the leak of classified information but whether the intelligence community and the fbi was duped by russian disinformation which there's a good chance they were. the times report says it appears there is a bleak investigation going on. that's not a declaration that that is what the investigation is about and i highly doubt that it is. shannon: here is what a former cia officer said. the doj's ig found that comey set a dangerous example for heavenly classified information to advance his personal agenda. remember as the media rushes to be a fireman who is under scrutiny for leaking more info than he would care to admit, bradley q q >> that is not what the doj ig found, he found there was no classified informa

that is the first time james comey was considered a real candidate, we did a little checking on jim comey, not a name i am familiar with. he was politically a chameleon. he would tell us he loved president bush and loved his policies but talk to liberals and they would say james comey secretly one of us was pretty liberal and everything, a photo of president bush's, the hodgepodge story, one person who knew him will summarized it, the best thing to know about james comey. >> i saw it early on in the 1990s. some case he had launched. my camera man walked out to the van and have you ever seen a guy who loves himself that much. i always remember that because i saw vividly in my research. james comey, this sanctimonious and self-righteous individual who only cares about james comey. >> host: that was our experience and if you think back, he always turned on the person, turned on president bush, the end of the administration on sensitive information about renewal, patriot act, 9/11 era legislation. this whole hillary clinton saying back and forth, reopening the investigation before the electio

you know, and -- and i've -- i've watched devin nunes since the day that jim comey came and announced the investigation into the president. from that moment on, devin nunes became attorney, advocate, private investigator, on behalf of the president. and this goes way back to when devin nunes was trying to run a sort of one-man investigative campaign of trying to hunt down the steele dossier sources and this sort of thing. and big picture here, you know, and look, he embarrassed himself. i mean, as you know a couple weeks ago when he was asked about this, he denied really having any memory of lev parnas. it turns out, of course, he did. he had an eight-minute conversation with the guy. so he's damaged his own credibility. and what he's done to the country is rather than being what the constitution would have him be, which is a check and a balance on the president, he of course has become an advocate and a fighter for the president. and that's -- that's a huge problem and further evidence of the extent to which the republican party has become a cult in support of donald trump. >> let's

today, that pious, sanctimonious former fbi director jim comey was roasted. e inspector general found he was in clear violation of department of justice guidelines and his sworn duty in handling information related to his dealings with the president and the dossier. comey's conduct was an affront to the standards expected of all doj employees and it's a stain on the long, proud history of the fbi. tonight, here's what you need to understand. comey along with clapper, brennan, strzok and mccabe and perhaps others, fancy themselves as trump-resisting superheroes, self-appointed saviors of truth, justice, and the american way. deep state actors look the other way as comey abused his position. all the privileges and power of the fbi in a planned effort to destroy the man he had other disdain for, donald trump. comey comes from the rarefied upper crust of elite washington lawyers. to them, trump from the outset was an uncouth real estate mogul turned politician. the antithesis of what the self-appointed elites wanted as their president. folks like comey themselves

wrong about donald trump, he's not the right messenger for this and i agree democrats don't like jim comey he has no friends. >> his texts are covered by the first amendment. he has a right to free-speech. he got in trouble for what he did in his office and at the time he was can he didn't put up a fight then. he accepted his fate and he wants to turn things around. >> he sued the doj for reinstatement and back pay and damages and the doj filed a motion to dismiss. a procedural motion, this doesn't deserve to be litigated on its merits. he is sort of reasserting what we heard him say in august which was i acknowledge it was fbi property but just because it can be monitored, just because it was discoverable doesn't make it unprotected and argues you fired me for the content of what i was saying meaning the result of which every mid-level manager having watercooler talk can be fired from now on and disciplinary action, prior history in the fbi and said i should have just been disciplined. 60 days without pay. doesn't rise to the level of termination. it is one more self victimization we are

jim comey signed one of those. now, what does that mean? premeditated fraud on a fisa court.ot only did they use carter page and take away his constitutional right, but they gave him the back door to spy on a presidential candidate transition team. this news comes from a newly declassified order from the court that handles phis applications. this means the final two fisa warrants denied his civil liberties. spying, yes, the right word. it should never have happened. joining us with reaction, fox news investigative reporter, sara carter. his best-selling book "witch hunt." sarah, let's begin with you. this is huge and i think it's more than two. we know premeditated fraud on a fisa court. >> that's right. it exposes the lover of corruption at the highest level of the fbi and even within the doj. what we know is that the last two pfizer applications signed by director -- they have come out and said that the doj as well as a fisa court, these were not legitimate. they should never have been do done. they are continuing to investigate the first two. that would be going all the wo

comey was fired. mccabe was fired. lied three times under oath. jim baker lead counsel resigned.own, resigned as well. peter strzok kicked off the mueller team and fired. five key people ran the investigations. i never seen an agency where that happened before. maria: absolutely extraordinary the way nancy pelosi talks about the attorney general by the way, ag barr. she talks about him as if you know, he is not the leading legal person of the country and, she says he is, just fighting for donald trump. i mean it is quite extraordinary. so you have to bring this up because they don't, they want to take donald trump out. they don't want another word about this fbi investigation. they don't want any, you know, accountability for what took place. >> yeah. remember, bill barr said not only there was failure of leadership at upper echelon of the fbi, he used the word drove the left crazy, defendant the democrats crazy, there was spying took place. there was a basis for my concern about spying that happened. third or fourth i should say he used a term that should scare us all, he used t

i agree with you, democrats do not like jim comey either because of his behavior during the 2016 electiond by the first amendment. he has a right to free speech, right? he got in trouble for what he did in his office. obviously at the time that he was canned, he didn't put up a fight hthen. he accepted his fate and now he wants to turn things around. >> he already sued the doj to b clear for reinstatement and bac pay and also damages. the doj came back and filed a motion to dismiss. this isn't even deserve to be o its merits and courts. this was his response to that. he already heard them say and august that was basically that look. everything, i acknowledge my stuff with fbi property, but just because it could be monitored just because it was discoverable, doesn't make it unprotected. he argued that you fired me wit the contents of what i was eaying which means the results of which every middle level manager that was just having watercooler talk to be fired from now on out. he cited disciplinary action in the fbi inside it doesn't rise to the level of termination. i think it is one more

jim comey, you know, made the observation writing his book in his first meeting they were the family. they have operated like a mob in full view now for three years and the republicans if they vote to acquit they are acquitting behavior that's now in public mob-like. >> clare, can we talk about the elephant in the room? that is the senate work calendar. so they're off now. >> right. >> friday, saturday, sunday, monday kind of? >> they're off monday. it is martin luther king birthday and will be in their states doing martin luther king activities. well, a lot of them will. not all. and then they'll travel most of them tuesday morning. some might travel monday night. and some will stay in washington that are from far, far away like the hawaii senators and stuff like that. they'll be back and then he is saying -- i have talked the senators today on my phone. they are saying that they will go tuesday through saturday of next week and monday through saturday in the subsequent weeks beginning as of now saying midday every day and going until whenever mitch mcconnell decides that -- well, wh

there was a voicemail that said hi josh, this is jim comey. thank you for that tweet. that was so great. your kid said it was awesome. thanks for doing something unconventional and pushing the envelope so i played that voicemail to all the people criticizing me. as in some organizations, some leaders change their view immediately upon hearing the director had endorsed this. so i guess that's how i got on your radar. and then i had the opportunity - - we were at an event with chuck rosenberg who was the acting head of the dea. you will see him now on msnbc sometimes. something on opioid abuse. so chuck was running late. so we were there at the event and i found myself in this room. with the director. and he just, i guess this was for noah. he would just interview people, start interviewing them. who are you? what do you do? i know he called me about the tweet. but i guess i didn't realize it was a job interview that i didn't realize when he asked me, how are things going in the fbi? you asked how am i doing? i'm a member pausing. i thought, the ceo is asking me how i th

abuse investigation and at that time we both saw documents that reflected that john brennan and jim comeying testimony about the steele dossier. brennan says comey was pushing the steele dossier to be included intelligence community assessment. comey says it was brennan that was pushing it. they both testified under oath and congress an two investigates to that fact. they both can't be telling the truth. i'm confident justice delayed is not justice denied. there will be a full accounting, i certainly hope there will be. maria: congressman, thank you, thank you for exposing the truth over these years. we appreciate your time this morning. >> thank you, maria. maria: congressman john ratcliffe. president is heading to china to continue second phase of trade talks as the senate expects to take up the new north american trade deal. peter navarro will join me we look ahead on "sunday morning futures" to 2020. de and visiting places like this... thank you guys maria: peter navarro predicting the dow jones industrial average will hit 30,000 if the usmca passes. that is one day before the house v

that is not what you heard from jim comey back in 2018.. >> i have total confidence that the fisa process was followed and that the entire case was handled in a thoughtful, responsible way by doj and the fbi. i think the notion that fisa was abused here is nonsense. maria: nonsense, mark meadows. your reaction? >> maria, you've been covering this, trey gowdy, john ratcliffe, jim jordan and i knew the facts of this. we knew not only the third and fourth fisa application had problems with it, we also know there were real probable cause concerns with the first and second ones. so we haven't seen the end of this. why does it matter? it matters for this reason. adam schiff knew there were problems with that. he purposely went out and suggested that devin nunez was not correct with his analysis, just like he is purpose fully going out right now, spinning a narrative as it relates to ukrainian aid being held up for some nefarious purpose. it just didn't happen. maria: it is all connected, trey gowdy? >> yeah. four difficult times the united state

and, you know, starting with jim comey, as far as i can tell, this president has demanded not only loyaltyerybody. and, you know, not only have to be loyal to him, you've got to not be loyal to the truth. we saw that not only with comey but when he instructed the director of national intelligence, former senator dan coates to lie for him in connection with the mueller probe and three other people. told them to create phony documents. he said, we can't do that. that would be a lie. he said, what's your point? he says, unless people are excludsively loyal to him, complementing him, they're the enemy. the man is beset by demons and i'm glad i don't have them. i think they include fear, anger, insecurity. it's -- you know, the school bus driver tests -- >> are you finding that on the campaign trail you're reaching primary voters that agree with you? des moines register said your campaign is a chance for republicans to show what values are most important for them. but hasn't that bus driven away? hasn't that ship already sailed? >> no. my wife and i got away from five very pleasurable days in i

i said it once, i will say it again, jim comey behavior is looked at.fense 101 is don't make public statements. i talked to a lot of my friends. a little inside baseball stuff, they're pretty sure his counsel would be telling him not to make all the public statements but he is. liz: right. let's set it up by january 2017 the fbi knew the steele dossier was force. take it a with a great of salt. now this is coming in. new information about chris fear steel was absolutely flabbergasted that buzzfeed published his dossier. your take on that. >> all the complaining of the right about the genesis of the steele dossier, complete and total lack of reliability, in the hostile environment we're in, liz, that is republican talking point. it is not in the history books, they will verify there were serious problems with this dossier. >> issue is, using the intelligence community to spy on a campaign. there were red flags comey knew about this problem. the cia had told the fbi the dossier was treated, as internet rumor. steele had claimed there was even a russian co

. >> he hasn't cracked much about jim comey. >> there were a lot of topics that have nothing to do withade. >> he had some cracks in there. >> i want to turn to 2020 and switch gears a little bit turning to bernie sanders and elizabeth warren. cnn dug up the audio of course from the debate this week. and we knew from the body language that it was bad at the end of the debate, their interaction, but it's ugly. she says you basically called me a liar on national tv. where do they go from here? i mean, they don't have any time to sort of repair this. >> i'll play it so we can hear it all again. >> i think you called me a liar on national tv. >> what? >> i think you called me a liar on national tv. >> you know, let's not do it right now. you want to have that discussion, we'll have that discussion. >> any time. >> you called me. >> i don't want to get in the way. i just want to say hi, bernie. >> yeah, good. >> how does this get resolved before iowa? >> i don't think it does. when you start to take your gloves off then it can snowball, and they are competing against each other, and they're

you may recall i had to jump in and take over jim comey's testimonial responsibilities on this very sameof hearing mere days after he was fired. it's such an important presence for the fbi to have at that table that i felt like it was the right thing to do. they typically have a public hearing and then they have a private hearing behind closed doors in the scif to cover the really sensitive stuff. that public part of the hearing is important. people should understand what the leaders of our intelligence entities think of the current threats we face. >> i've watched those hearings and certainly have learned a lot about them. russia's threat to interfere in another election, issues that americans have a right to know. i want to ask you about evidence that's come to light since the house impeached the president and before the trial. some of this is communications. this drew our attention, in particular. you have devin nunes, ranking republican on the house intelligence committee. his top aide communicating with lev parnas, close associate of rudy giuliani now indicted. close associate who i

a fraud by cabal la of individuals, whether around the leadership of john brennan at the cia or jim comeyi? >> look, and that is the other problem with the icig, this icig actually has connections was a lawyer for some of the very people involved in the fisa abuse scam. so all of this becomes intertwined and related and we need to get to the bottom of it. look the icig in theory works for congress. so why he would not provide evidence which is really the ig's, that is their game, right? horowitz proved they're very good getting emails and evidence that exist within the bureaucracy. this is not hard for the icig to provide us all the documentation on their supposed stupidity. maria: let me move on, ask you for some reaction to this david chris naming. you have obviously have a lot of experience with this individual, the surveillance court, picks less doj leader david kris to review fbi reforms. christopher wray comes out with reforms. we have headlines david ciriss wrote about you and nunez memo we know was 100% true when you came out with the nunes memo. that is was the supposed coup that

. >> juan: bill barr and jim comey agree on this.erate. >> jesse: that is probably the one thing they agree on. if the saudi started going into apple headquarters in silicon valley and started gunning down apple executives and secretaries, tim cook employees, what is he going to do? he is going to crack into that phone before the feds can, watching his employees getting murdered by saudi terrorists. he is not going away, he's going to get justice for his employees and he is going to try to prevent future attacks on americans. right now he is so far removed from reality, he is living in this land of theory and these peer principles while someone could be plotting attack right now. and we have come in this country, the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. he is putting a dead foreign terrorist privacy rights, if he isn't happening, over the rights of americans. he needs to have some sense knocked into him. >> juan: apple's hardware and software appeared a little bit different than facebook and google who provide platforms.

experience, something that would be resurrected after three years time and again the fact that it has jim comeythe cross hairs really does raise questions about whether or not this is being done for political reasons as opposed to being done for appropriate department of justice purposes. >> i want to play you something that lev parnas said about the department of justice and investigations. about why republicans, one of the reasons republicans are scared of the president. take a listen to what he had to say. >> there's a lot of republicans that would go against him. the only reason -- if you take a look, you know very well, you've been following, the difference between why trump is so powerful now, he wasn't as powerful in '16 and '17. he became that powerful when he got william barr. >> yeah. >> people are scared. >> what do you think of that? >> well, i tend to agree. in many respects i think donald trump has taken a page out of the authoritarian's playbook, which i have seen unfold so many times over the course of my career overseas when you get a dictator, who fills the parliament or legis
