conservatives are asking jim jordan to run for house speaker. other names have been thrown out. steve scalise and mccarthy. ed: i'm a big jordan fan. i like jordan. as i said last night. he was a national wrestling champion. the high school record was 150-1. his last two years in college flips a toughness being a wrestler. he beat the olympic champion and the world champion. he's used to being tough and he's well liked by his colleagues. it's nothing against his colleagues, but maybe it's time for the leadership to move ford. cheryl: getting back to the true conservative values. rudy giuliani has come out and said -- we talked about is there going to be an indictment. but the mueller probe entered year two as of yesterday. this could go through until november. do you think the mueller probe is a problem? ed: i think it's a definite problem. it's a distraction. for the entire year the white news focused on that. the idea that the president will have to testify, he's not going to be indicted because he didn't do anything wrong. but the thousands and thousands of dollars it costs an

jim jordan, let me start with you. a lot happening.men that want you to be speaker, and frankly, i would like to see you be the next speaker. >> if and when there is a risk of my plan on being part of that discussion. there is one now. would we have to focus on doing with the american people sent us here to do so we can stay in thl majority and help donald trump accomplish the things that the american people elected us to do and that is what i'm focused on doing. >> sean: let's talk f about where we are today. congressman matt gaetz, i have a zero faith in rod rosenstein and the doj to actually hand over the documents because we know specific documents will be damning. why would they do that to themselves? think of that is why i believe that the upcoming meeting that chairman nunes is having that there will be any production ofl documents. that is deeply concerning to me. if you havek to look at the scoreboard, right now the deep state is winning the battle because they f are in full contl of their own destiny. that is why congressman

>> i obviously like jim jordan. he's the head of the freedom caucus.s number one thesis is keep the promise you make to the american people. we have 25 republicans going with 275 -- they are not putting ford the republican platform, they are putting ford the democrat platform. so the american people and the average conservative of all stripes will be outraged if they see this go through. lou: we have been outraged before and sure as hell been disappointed before. be sure to vote in our poll tonight. the question is, is it time for president trump to explain what he knew and when he knew it about fbi spying on the -- the 2016 presidential campaign. hillary clinton is still not on it and she is proud of it. >> no, i'm not over it. i still think about the 2016 election. i still regret the mistakes i made. lou: yale college. alum proud. you are going to love it. two losers going after a winner. we'll be right back. feel the clarity of non-drowsy claritin and relief from symptoms caused by over 200 allergens. like those from buddy. because stuffed animals a

for the record, i'm supporting jim jordan. just endeteriorated him. >> me too. >> sean: thank you, both. when we come back, the great one, mark levin. he's got an angle you're going to want to pay very close attention. to. that's next. stay with us. ♪ to. that's next. stay with us. to. that's next. stay with us. to. that's next. stay with us. o. that's next. stay with us. to. that's next. stay with us. to. that's next. stay with us. if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, or psoriatic arthritis, little things can be a big deal. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats differently. for psoriasis, 75% clearer skin is achievable with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and for psoriatic arthritis, otezla is proven to reduce joint swelling, tenderness, and pain. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't use if you're allergic to otezla. otezla may cause severe diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting. tell your doctor

this report is going to be very important. >> sean: let me go to congressman jim jordan. break, on top of the letter that both you, ron desantis, mark meadows, who is us tonight, have put out saying the president, you've got too get involved, tell the attorney general, you have the power constitutionally to do so. there is over 1.2 million documents we are talking about here. we know with a little but we haveve gotten, as andy mccarthy wrote, we only have a few of the strzok page memos. >> t first, the inspector general's report, it was michael horowitz who uncovered the page-strzok text messages. it was also michael horowitz and his team who determined that andrew mccabe had misled people, lied four different times, three times under oath. we are anxiously awaiting this report. i'm sure there will be some reviews i have to take place but that is good news that we will be getting that soon. more importantly is the letter we sent. we are just tired of the runaround we have been getting from the department of justice. it's time for them to turn over the information. the one

i understand jim jordan's frustration. and it is this. when the documents do come out from the department of justice, so much of it is redacted. when they get the redactions removed, they see things that shouldn't have been redacted but were redacted to save the author of the document from embarrassment. not to save a national secret. not to save the identity of an intelligence source but to save embarrassment. >> harris: we have been down this memo road and declassification road in the last few months and the president has weighed in on occasion with things. you saw different home -- memo inside house intelligence. he can weigh in. and you say legally he will at some point potentially. >> at some point he says enough is enough. >> harris: is this a tipping point? is this enough to get the president to say you know what d.o.j., heads? i want this declassified. >> i don't know if it's enough but it is a march in the direction. the next step, this is the second to last step to hold either attorney general jeff sessions or deputy -- i'm not

joining us tonight is congressman jim jordan. he serves as a member of the house judiciary and oversight committees. also a member of the house freedom caucus. congressman, great to have you here. >> good to be with you. lou: it appears that you have solved part of the puzzle. >> yeah. lou: the department of justice will respond to threats of contempt citations and impeachment as delivered by chairman nunes. >> we'll see what happens tomorrow, if in fact they get to see the documents that chairman nunes has been requesting. it sounds like this is at least a step in the right direction. it doesn't change the pattern and the fact that we've seen for the last several months which is drdelay, take your good old tim. redacting information. it's always like pulling teeth with these guys and it's frustrating. the early indications are that maybe we're moving something in the right direction. lou: and there is some reporting that the white house agreed with the department of justice in qurnconcerns about methods and sources being reveale

there is a third bucket which is where jim jordan and i came and we said the scope memo.it is the third bucket which august 2,osenstein on a memo that says we are investigating, we changed the scope of that investigation. we believe the american people need to know what the scope of the investigation is. someone say you are getting involved in an ongoing criminal investigation. it is an investigation but the scope of that investigation is not part of the investigation. we are going to look at all of this. we believe because we are funding it that we should be able to look at that scope area that is the third bucket and that is a great question. we will make another dent in this. there will be a request for us to audit the financial resources of this investigation. it used to be part of the statute. it is within the parameters. towill be sending a request the gao, the general accountability office to look at an audit and make sure those funds are put forth properly. that letter will be going out next week. is it from the freedom caucus? >> any member of congress can do tha

jim jordan and i have looked at requesting the scope. we think it is important. to close the loop on my part, chairman nunez and chairman were set to talk to the deputy attorney general friday. have you any a chance to beat with either of them after that meeting to get a sense of where their concerns --whether their concerns have been met in that meeting? if not, is the solution of impeaching the deputy attorney general still a live issue? rep. meadows: the impeachment of the attorney general or the deputy attorney general obviously is the very last source of anything. theempt would honestly be first step in any of that. as you know, chairman nunez and chairman gowdy put out a statement related to their visit at the department of justice on friday. , i don't knowent it was very eliminating in terms of that statement, but it also we in a direction that what are going to do is continue to press this issue. we believe we will ultimately get the documents we need. contempthose tools of and impeachment are still on the table. there is one i can handle on my own which

. -- judge jeanine: that's congressman jim jordan demanding the answers the american people deserve.ning me dave bossie and chris hahn. good evening, gentlemen. chris, i am going to read something from the "new york times." a year and a half later no public evidence has surfaced connecting mr. trump's advisor to the hacking or linking mr. trump himself to the russian government's disruptive efforts. that's the "new york times." you want to tell me what robert mueller is doing? >> you and i both know these things take time. especially when something is as complex as international espionage and cyber crimes. i think we have a long way to go before we get to the end of the road. i think the president will be well served by letting this investigator finish his investigation. judge jeanine: the president hasn't done anything to stop him. >> this is an investigation that's out of control. robert mueller has been there for one year. but this investigation has been going on for almost two years. it began during the summer of 2016. no collusion, no evidence of any wrongdoing whatsoever. with

jim jordan as well, yourself of course. from the summer on. but why i is -- isn't there a clear statement about who freedom caucus wantings as speaker and why isn't there paul paulert -- from arizona. >> there is a movement, across grassroots for jim jordan who i mean, jim is a tough as they come. there are people who are trying to push for that and in terms of timing of how it works, i hear a lot of different rumblings about you can't wait for the end, i don't know how that will play out, there are rumbling across conference just about you know situation that we find ourselveses in now. lou: one of the rumbling is 25 republicans ready to vote if the dems -- vote with the dems for discharge petition, we're told that already, the goodlot bill watered-down getting ready, i hear every sorry, sick, pathetic rumor about what conference is doing toward itself before they get to a debate, let alone a vote, they are all talking like rinos if not dems. >> lou, i think that political situation is looking better for the republicans because the economy is

if, if, if is all i heard from jim jordan. we could chase ifs all day.hat's in. i've read the fisa application put forward to the court. i've read the evidence and memo that launched this investigation. they would have been irresponsible to not start an investigation and a judge should be removed from the bench if they didn't sign that application with the voluminous amount of evidence that exists to at least meet the very low threshold of probable cause to allow it to take place. >> bill: you've seen the fisa warrant, right? >> yes. >> bill: so if you use a warrant that is drafted on information that may be directly tied to the kremlin and use it to spy on a national political campaign, what do you think of that? >> they followed the evidence from everything i saw, bill. when i was a prosecutor it was a tactic defense attorneys would use which was they would focus on one very small piece of a larger picture of evidence and tell the jurors focus on this flawed piece. this defines the whole case. but i always invite people to take a step back and look at

until you're no longer a subject of their investigation. >> that was jim jordan on "overtime" with me yesterday. he said it isn't that it doesn't normally happen, it's that we never know it's happening. he said they handle this in a very quiet, backroom way. >> correct. >> so that republicans and republicans or democrats and democrats can work it out. this is now ostentatious. it's out in the open. it's showy. because they're not getting what they want. a.g. sessions recused himself. >> i want to ask kennedy about the justice department's reputation at this point. the fbi and d.o.j. have been under so much scrutiny, rightly so, a lack of transparency, even if it's warranted, seems not to help build up the reputation which they have lost over the past two years. >> i agree completely. i understand, there may be legal precedent and may be safeguards in place for the department of justice. but it also feels like they're hiding behind him. they have a punker mentality, hiding behind an owe page shield. what i warn these numbers of congress, don't go after documents when it's politically c

one of the people making the case is house republican jim jordan of ohio. nd i need your help this morning. you answer in context any way you want. >> all right. >> the president is now calling the use of this confidential source who apparently contacted people in the campaign or related to, satellites of the campaign spygate. do you believe we have any factual basis for saying there was a spy in the trump campaign? >> if you read the "new york times" piece they talk about this individual, give all kinds of details about this individual. >> not as a spy. >> and he met with the periphery of the trump campaign. but i think -- so it sure looks like that was the case. we're going to wait and see. that's why chairman nunes has been requesting information to show this took place and the department of justice has been reluctant to give it to him. let's hope that actually happens. chris, when you couple it with what we do know they did, five of the top people at the fbi by comey or pheub contain. he faces a criminal referral. peter strzok and lisa page has been demo

manu, you're hearing about new details what mark meadows and jim jordan are asking rosenstein for. >>hat's right. we are learning that private meeting last month, meadows and jim jordan asked rosenstein to provide a key document, an august memo that detailed the scope of the mueller investigation. that memo was turned over earlier this year, but it was heavily redacted and the details of what mueller was allowed to investigate are not known to the public. both meadows and jordan demanded that they get access to that document that's something that rod rosenstein resisted in that private meeting according to jordan. we're learning now that the justice department said no to that request officially. that comes as both meadows and jordan, other house republicans are demanding scores of documents, thousands and thousands of documents that they believe may show some impropriety in how the fbi handled the clinton e-mail investigation and the russia investigation. so far, the justice department has turned over documents, but not to the satisfaction of these republicans and certainly not to the

i spoke a short time ago one member of the freedom caucus, congressman jim jordan of ohio. you said today that you are "sick and tired of toue run arounde been getting from the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein," you want a second special counsel appointed. why?at >> becausrney general jeff sessions has stated that onlyao under exinary circumstances do you have special counsels. will, how about the fact that five of the top people at the f.b.i. have been fird or demoted and reassigned? mes comey has been fired, deputy director andrew mccabe has been fired, there is a criminalhereferral because lied three times under oath acording to the inspector general,eputy director of counterintelligence peter struck has been demoteed and reassigned. f.b.i. counsel jim baker has been demoted and reasf.signed. i. counsel lisa page has been demoted and reassigned. five of the top people demoted, reassigned, and in some cases fired. if that isn't extraordinary, someone define to me what is. these five people while they were working in the obama administration ran the clinton investig

and jim jordan reiterated that nothing will change until the president of the united states orders the attorney general and the deputy attorney general and fbi director to give us the information. >> because their thinking is that this scope memo will show some political motivation by their opponents that will then delegitimize the entire russia probe, if you followed that narrative from rudy giuliani this morning. manu, thank you. >>> with me is michael zeldin, cnn legal analyst, who served with bob mueller previously, mark preston is also here, senior political analyst. when it comes to the law here and when it comes to counterintelligence investigations, if there was indeed an fbi informant that either, you know, had information and went to the fbi or was used by the fbi to talk to people that they thought might be doing nefarious things with russia during the election, is there anything out of the norm? isn't that what they do? counterintelligence investigations? >> absolutely. that is completely normative and christopher ray in his testimony said yesterday if we don't protect our

again, this memo from congressman mark meadows and congressman jim jordan to the justice departmenx=ñknow what they're talking about. this memo they are requesting isn't classified. it's not marked as a classified document. it is law enforcement sensitive, sure. but that is a different thing than classified. it's law enforcement sensitive, because letting that memo old without screw this up as a law enforcement matter. but it's not a classified document. so, at least in one important sense, these members of congress making this demand of rod rosenstein, they clearly don't know what they're talking aboutz but this is what's going on in trump land. these kinds of demands are what they're ceding in congress every day now, and what the president is complaining about online now every day to lay down a pretense for why#!fa senior justice department officials need to be fired, for saying no toéwn thes crazy requests that they could not say yes to without jeopardizing the mueller investigation. and the reason it feels like we're getting to the edge of a cliff, i think, right now on this point
