are legal guests will take that up coming up next. >> remember, jim comey is the guy in charge.e, baker, all of these key people at the upper echelon of the fbi, this all happened under jim comey's watch and he is the guy responsible. into a smaller life? are your asthma treatments just not enough? then see what could open up for you with fasenra. it is not a steroid or inhaler. it is not a rescue medicine or for other eosinophilic conditions. it's an add-on injection for people 12 and up with asthma driven by eosinophils. nearly 7 out of 10 adults with asthma may have elevated eosinophils. fasenra is designed to target and remove eosinophils, a key cause of asthma. it helps to prevent asthma attacks, improve breathing, and can reduce the need for oral steroids like prednisone. fasenra may cause allergic reactions. get help right away if you have swelling of your face, mouth, and tongue, or trouble breathing. don't stop your asthma treatments unless your doctor tells you to. tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection, or your asthma worsens. headache and sore throat may

they were sent by jim comey himself. james comey bragging, he sent the agents to grill him for two days. he wanted to exploit the chaos inside the transitioning white house. something he would never do in the bush or obama administration's come or get away with. ultimately that perjury trap was not a success. agents are no indication at all that the national security advisor was lying. they didn't believe he was lying. they said he didn't believe he was lying. the fbi turn the screws anyway, they threaten to lock him up for years. eventually he went bankrupt. he had to sell his home. they threaten to prosecute his son. they ultimately forced him to plead guilty, get this guilty plea, or they were going to prosecute his son. they didn't think he lied, but then they forced him to live, core stem into making statements. why? to protect his son. frankly, what a great father wouldn't do that? either you sign this or we will put your son way for the rest of his life. where do i sign? he was set up, a perjury trap all along. com

i still think jim comey is the big problem here, he was the guy in charge, the guy with the arrogantde and he was the guy that sent these agents over to interview him. we are going to try to trap three star general who served our country for so long. i still think jim comey should be someone they look at real closely but we will have to wait and see what mr. durham comes up with. >> martha: jim jordan, congressman, thank you very much and good to see you tonight. joining me now is k.t. mcfarland, former national security advisor who was there in the west wing during all of this. she was all also the author of the great new book, trump and washington, we the people. i'd like to begin by playing the jim comey sound bite that congressman jordan just referred to because it happened as i said while you were part of this team. let's watch this. >> you look at this white house now and it's hard to imagine two fbi agents ending up in the same room. how did that happen? >> i sent them. it's something i wouldn't have done or gotten away with in a more organized investigation were organized adm

jim comey layed it all out for us as if it was okay.atch the interview back in 2018 that he gave during his book tour. >> you look at the white house now and it's hard to imagine 2 fbi agents. how does that happened? >> i sent them. [laughter] >> something i probably wouldn't have done or got anway with in a more organized investigation, more organized administration, in in the george w. bush administration or obama administration, two men that we have appreciation for over the last 2 years. [applause] [laughter] >> and in both of those administrations there was process and so if the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the white house counsel and discussions and approvals and who would be there and i thought it's early enough, let's just send a couple of guys over. maria: yeah, let's just send a couple of fbi guys in and laugh about it. real funny to destroy a man's life, star general which served country for many years and he told us in the interview, congressman,

a very different approach to leadership then i do or jim comey did. i hope he is successful and as a former agent you want your organization in good hands. >> former agent to put it this way mueller didn't talk and nothing comey talks too much. [laughter] and director ray will have to find himself somewhere in the middle. >> i think that is accurate and he needs to find the balance. not sure he is found it yet. but he's only been on the job for a year so we will see how that goes. >> in the chapter entitled enterprise theory you mentioned foreign influences seems like a reference to chris steele former mi six officer who worked with the fbi and perhaps another informant that was later leaked so to take a shot at rod rosenstein the attorney deputy general you say not giving up your people this is important. it sounds like your angry the name was leaked and certain information about ongoing investigations was provided to congress talk a little bit more fully about what that means and what exactly you are getting at. >> and providing information to congr

jim comey.ritten notes on sale tonight show the fbi discussed using january 2017 interview with flynn "to get him to live so we can prosecute him or get him fired." in other words, to entrap him and ruin his career. and then of course later on yet at trump. with a handwritten note and this intriguing little snippet. if we are seen as playing games, the white house will be curious. joining me now is congressman devin nunes, house intel ranking member and sean davis cofounder of ""the federalist"." let's start with you, a lot of reviews of the past three years. you have been digging into this and taking into it, but this has to be one of the more egregious abuses of power given how we know this thing went down now. your thoughts. >> well, clearly, general plan will have a civil rights case. and i think it will cost the government millions of dollars. secondly, hopefully, there will be some prosecutions for this matter. and the judge really has an opportunity here to step in and sanction these lawy

decades hangs in the balance and has written a memo cited by the president as the reason to fire jim comey and he doesn't believe according to sources that it's all being served up as justification that they are questioning if the prosecutor is a kiss up essentially. so it is a vulnerable time for him he is really emotional and the reason we chose those words is because donald trump has at this point called the justice department the trump justice department to threaten sessions multiple times and for recusing him say that he should on recusing himself what to be ethically impossible to say i can't have a conflict and now i don't and all the ways he was breaking the norm two things come together rod rosenstein saying i care about the rule of law. i look like #-number-sign. and the president very much not caring about that. >> so my impressions the two top lines how much trumps mood swings really encompass not just the way the white house operates but the way the government has been operating under him and the national security apparatus. but i want to get to the first part that he is incre

the one person i wish i could talk to is jim comey. good luck with that this is the guy he just fired. >> we will see there is a sequence of events and then secretly record the president and the 25th amendment all of this is true but by the end of the mueller investigation , he is a new person he has survived there are two occasions when the justice department said he would fire him and goes to the white house and comes out and his job is intact him of the new attorney general say that trump has been exonerated that there is no crime or obstruction of justice to be made this is not what the mueller report said and wrote a letter to that effect the mueller report was far more damning than anything that rosenstein was willing to say. this is a classic example of well-intentioned bureaucrats getting into the trump orbit drawn into the web of falsehoods of irresponsible of not illegal behavior and then asked to protect the president and again because rosenstein wadded up the wire the 20th amendment and determined he could fire him whenever

jim comey has spoken about this before, congressman, remember when jim comey was out on book tour and we knew it was a chaotic and with any other administration it wouldn't fly but with this said hey, i want to talk to you, we will send a come of agents down there just to chat you up and that's exactly what they did and cornered him and then some of them said, no, i don't think he lied but, in fact, that's what they charged him with. you made a good point, they initially charged him with collusion, colluding with the russians and yet they -- they ended upbringing charges about him lying, so there was no collusion in the charge. >> doug: no, this is what the media and pundits want to tie the administration to russia which has found false at every level and flynn here, jim comey and captain america, so many cracks in his shield. maybe he will do another tweet about trees, he has mislead the american people what it is to be an fbi agent. when you look at what is happening, people needs to be concerned that here is a man that is in charge that could destroy people's lives. let's use the c

he has a different approach to leadership i think and i do, certainly better than jim comey did and so i hope that he is successful and he wants the organization to be in good hands and there's no reason to believe they are not. >> host: they said mueller didn't talk enough and comey talked too much. the director is going to find out somewhere in the middle in these perilous times. >> guest: i think that security needs to find that balance. i'm not sure that he's found it yet. he's only been on the job for about a year so we'll see how that goes. the chapter titled enterprise theory you mentioned informants and it seems like a reference to chris steele the former officer that work worked with the fbi ad perhaps another informant whose identity was leaked with chris steele. you seem to take a shot at the deputy attorney general in the chapter. you said this is important. it seems like you were angry it leaked into certain information was provided to the congress. talk a little bit more fully about what that means and what exactly you were getting at in that legitimate oversight function

mueller is investigating president for obstructing justice and the reason you open up on him, to fire jim comey, how does he not recuse himself? did he ever suggest you recuse yourself? >> you've asked a great question about rod, that's one that only rod can answer. it's one puppy official asked to make and hopefully it done on the basis of following the guidance of officials, i've had a number of those issues of my own. a clear and transparent way. so i don't know why he's made the decision he did. >> did he ever suggest you recuse yourself? >> in one instant, raised the issue with me and it was based on the infamous photograph, family photograph i took during my wife's campaign 2015, wilbur with my kids and we all happen to be wearing shirt for my wife's campaign, i didn't get involved in any campaign or canvases. specific roles of what you can and can't do, if you are a government official, i got advice on how to ensure i didn't and i followed it carefully. it doesn't say you can't wear a button or t-shirt in your private life not at work so it was a nonissue. >> i kept coming up but i think

it's too late to restore jim comey's reputation.one of the first casualties of the russia probe and andy mccabe destroyed in a brutal brutal way than even comey, and count less careers, and they're still a criminal investigation under way for the intelligence and law enforcement officials. and i wonder when, if ever, there will be any accountability for the people on the other side trying to destroy good public officials and the intelligence and law enforcement community trying to have this county try's ba -- country's back against russia. >> that's not going to happen whether or not that ends in november or through 2023 and 2024. the damage has kbn done and that culminated with us being told what we should think and know about the mueller report. so from the standpoint of what others have done in the committee today, okay, thank you. it is anticlimatic. my colleges have pointed out that it is already there. that we know, the reality is what it is. the politics has played itself out, done the damage that the president wanted to be d

jim comey. notes unveiled that the fbi discussed using the 2017 interview with lynn to "get him vito live so we can prosecute hm or get him fired." in other words, to entrap them and ruin his career and later on, get at trump for the handwritten note ends with this intriguing little snippet. "if we are seen as playing games, the white house will be furious." joining now is congress when devin nunes, and john davis, author for "the federalist." you've been digging into this and digging into it, but this has to be one of the more egregious abuses of power, given how we know how this thing went down now. your thoughts? >> given general flynn is going to have a ivcivil rights case and it's going to cost the government millions of dollars. secondly, hopefully there's going to be prosecutions for this matter. and the judge really has an opportunity here to step in and sanction these lawyers. and with all that said, laura, we brought you this, the house republicans brought you a snippet of this informa

i want to run you a sound bite of jim comey when he was on his book tour because the sentiment that hengs us in this interview when he does his book tour is exactly what we are going to see when those documents are unearthed which would lead to exoneration. watch this, chris, this was a year ago. >> you look at the white house it's hard to imagine 2 fbi agents in the same room, how did that happened? >> i sent them. [laughter] >> something that i probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away in an organized investigation, more organized administration, in the george w. bush administration or the obama administration. [laughter] >> the protocol two men that all of a sudden perhaps increased appreciation for over the last 2 years. [laughter] [applause] >> and both of those administrations there was process and so if the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview a senior official you would work through the white house counsel and discussions and approval and who would be there and i thought it's early enough, let's just send a couple of guys over. maria: and th

>> jim: arrogance and ego of jim comey, the attitude he had, there was process, they should have notifiedthat they were talking to michael flynn. they weren't square with general flynn, a guy who served our country, 3-star general, it's so hard what they did and the arrogance that comey had, the guy in charge and all of this happened under his watch, mccabe, all of the people in the fbi, this happened under jim comey and he's the guy responsible. so many americans are learning now that everything we have said for several years, the only thing we had wrong is it was worst than we thought and americans are fed up with this and they want it cleaned up. brian: more to come. ainsley: we had people in the show this morning. they created an investigation. this was setup and dan bongino has been talking about the fbi and they find his or her crime. this is america, this is very scary and you're right, if we don't hold someone accountable, this could happen to you. anyone who runs for office. we don't like your politics, we will find a crime that you've done. it's very scary. will people be held a

squeezing science if hee squeezed the leader of ukraine for dirt on joe biden, squeezed rod rosenstein, jim comeymueller, over the russia investigation. he's never on the side of facts and always on the side of his personal either legal amims or defenses or some political motive. are we foolish that he's saying he wants to take over the vaccine process? >> i think that's transparent. i've been thinking a lot recently about the very, very diff our expert doctors like dr. fauci who are revered in the medical community, the situation they're in when you compare it to all the other people prior to the coronavirus where we were concerned about why is the person who wrote the anonymous op-ed in "the new york times," why are people in the government not speaking out. you really find that people who are being squeezed by the white house and when there are lives at stake and when national security is at stake they're in a really tough position of needing to try to do the right thing for the american people to save lives and to have to put up with a lot of politics and really salacious arguments in order t

all these key people, the upper echelon of the fbi come up this all happened under jim comey's watch. guy responsible. the americans are learning now that everything we said now, it was worse than we thought. americans are fed up with this and what you want it cleaned up. >> final thoughts from you as we await to learn more about what happened next with all this? >> i think jim jordan is correct to this extent. what we are seeing now is a paper trail that has been unavailable to us for the last three years, is catching up to what many of us thought all along happened here which was that this was a perjury trap. >> sandra: very interesting to get your analysis and reaction. thank you. >> ed: a fox news alert, on your money. the federal reserve vowing even more stimulus to try to get the economy up and running again. what else should it be doing? we have an exclusive gas from the white house. plus brand-new job numbers showing millions more americans out of work in the pandemic. will layoffs stabilize or will things get worse? we will talk to white house economic advisor kevin hatchett,

. >> jim, i remember james comey wrote in his book about the dinner he had with the president before he was fired, and he writes about -- memory, i read it long time ago -- concern about does he nod, if he's nodding -- or if he remains silent does the president view that ackweesence? people around the president have to think about, do you say silent, then coopted? that's something the scientists have to figure out every single day. >> reporter: that's one of the sad lessons we've seen throughout the trump presidency, as he attacks different segments of american society, president, justice, intelligence community, now going after the scientists, who are the people that speak out, say no this will not stand. talking to our sources there is a concern among the scientists if they speak out against the president they'll be thrown out of the ball game and you lose that expertise, american people lose that expertise, that's obviously what some of these scientists are thinking if they disagree with the president publicly may get tossed off the task force and then what happens to the task for

. >> jim acosta, i remember james -- james comey wrote, in his book, about the dinner he had with the president, of course before he was fired. and he writes about, you know, and my memory of this, i read it a long time ago. but i just remember him writing about his concern about does he nod? because if he's nodding, does it -- or if he remains silent, does the president view that as acquiescence? and people around the president have to think about do you respond? if you stay silent, are you then co-opted? and that's something these scientists probably have to figure out every single day. >> anderson, that is one of the sad lessons we have seen throughout the trump presidency. as he attacks different segments of american society, whether it be the press, the intelligence community, now he's going after the scientists. who are the people that speak out and say, no, this will not stand? there is a real concern among scientists if they speak out publicly against what the president's saying, that they'll be thrown out of the ball game and then you lose that expertise. the american people
