. >> laura: what can you tell us about the state of john durham's investigation? people have been waiting for the final report on what happened with this, what can you tell us? >> i think the report may be and probably will be a byproduct of his activity but his primary focus isn't to prepare a report, he is to bring to justice people who were engaged in abuses and he can show that they will can to or criminal violations and that with the focus is on. and as you know, being a lawyer yourself, building these cases, especially sprawling case we have between us that went on for two or three years here, it takes some time. it takes some time to build the case so he's diligently pursuing it. my own view is that the evidence shows that we are not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness, there is something far more troubling here and we are going to get to the bottom of it and if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted. >> laura: a president is very frustrated, i think you obviously know that, andrew mccabe, saying he be

he reveals what he really thinks about trump's firing of that intel inspector general and about john durham's investigation. but first, this is america and shut down day 24. some important developments. and some emails that i must share with you. as new york remains the covid cauldron of america, 799 more folks in new york died yesterday, bringing the state total to a staggering 7,067. now, that's 43% of all american fatalities, to get your mind wrapped around that. the public hospitals especially remain battlegrounds, but the state overall continues to make some progress against the virus. >> we had 200 net increase in hospitalizations, which you can see is the lowest number we've had this nightmare started. a change in icu admissions is the lowest number we've had since march 19th or so. the number of intimations is down. >> laura: that's all good new news. new york city is stretched and hurting, the system, the health care system, what we were worried about, it's going to bend, but it's not going to break, thank goodness, it's not going to collapse. with this in mind, it is truly shocking

john durham,a. >> listen to this, he is looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he could so there were criminal violations, this the focus is on. my view is that evidence shows we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness, there is something more troubling here, we'll get to the bottom of it. if people broke the law, we can establish that with the evidence, that's will be prosecuted. >> well i think you might say we heard all of that before. you would expected it of and honorable attorney general. but we have been told there is no guarantee of anyone being brought to justice by that attorney general and we're told, don't mind us as we take another year, and disappoint everyone who expect the justice department to bring justice to those who perpetrated this great crime against our government and way of life. joining us republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy. let's if we can begin with the idea that the attorney general is really dampening expectations as to who will be brought to justice. if ever. your thoughts. >> well. justice needs to be broug

lou: what does this portend for attorney general and john durham's investigation, looking toward the prospect of the chiefs of the intelligence agencies under going contribute also scrutiny by the effort of u.s. attorney john durham, he heard nothing, william barr tells american public, patsous thus on the head, says be patie. don't expect too much, that hardly the justs they most americans expected rendered as result of attorney general barr and u.s. attorney durham. >> yeah, i wish we had good news today. but, the state department justice department, went to appellate court and said that hillary clinton should not be able to avoid testimony. court ruled she should be able to testify on her e-mails and the benghazi attack records, at least they have stepped back a little bit from protecting her. but broader point, that the justice department, and fbi, institutionaly can't inves invee themselve, and barr would have to hand write the indictments himself he is surrounded by thousands of james comey and strzoks and mccabes, they don't top do the work, he can't do it by himself, presiden

attorney john durham reportedly now investigating the leaks of classified information to the national media in early 2017, and that leak leading to michael flynn's dismissal as national security adviser. at issue, articles written by "the washington post"'s david ig nays yous citing a, quote, senior u.s. government official, end quote. reported on a call between flynn and russian ambassador sergey kislyak in late december of 2016 suggesting flynn may have violated the logan act, of all things. well, joining us tonight is tom fitton, the president of judicial watch. tom, great to have you here. >> hey, lou. lou: couple things, let's beginning with a report that we may see general flynn completely exonerated perhaps by the end of this week. >> well, if the government violated judge sullivan's standing orders to turn over exculpatory information -- that's a general requirement, and he's very conscious of this because he saw in the case against the alaska senator several years ago outrageous government prosecutorial misconduct -- if they violated his orders in such a way, he may just thro

we talked about the importance of what john durham and bill barr will get done here in their investigationinvestigators. we are looking at most americans believe the fbi, 65%, simply would be somewhat likely or likely to spy illegally on the american people. this is just more evidence of ways only reasonable to expect, given the level of corruption we have seen in both the department of justice and the fbi that has gone without any kind of accounting. >> listen, this is a red flag to chris wray that he hasn't done enough to assure the american public that the fbi understands wait did wrong and it's going to change it. chris wray has been very muted in accepting blame. it's now an indictment. when someone knocks on the door and an fbi agent asks for help, 65% of people think they might be asking illegally. there are many good agents up and count fbi who are paying the price for a small gaggle of leaders under james comey and andrew mccabe to corrupted this fbi. lou: they may be paying a price or they may be complicit. we don't know, do we. but we do know that no one was punished for what th

sinister people try to steal them from 2016 trump campaign of illegally spied by on haters and traders john durhams investigating an if he gets the goods he's going to bring charge against bad guy. attorney general bill barr is monitoring their investigation about and is more disturbed than we've ever seen him. >> the evidence showses that we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness. there was something far more troubling here. and we're going to get to the bottom of it. >> i think the presidents has every right to be frustrated because i think what happens to him was one of the greatest travesties in american history without any basis, they started this investigation of his campaign. and even more concerning tweal is what happened after a the campaign a whole pattern of events while he was president. so to sabotage the presidency -- jesse: this is big the trump campaign was investigated without basis. surveillance was conducted for troubling reasons and after a the election, there was an a effort to ab sabotage his presidency this is huge and we'll follow it now there's something just as d

talk about the truth and the facts that are starting to come out and then we wait frankly for john durham'sigation to be completed and see what happens. i hope to prosecute someone. i still think jim comey is the big problem here, he was the guy in charge, the guy with the arrogant attitude 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 fb

john durham and william barr have one duty and one duty only and this is according to fbi officials that i have spoken with, both former and current. it is to clean out the system so that the system can repair itself and so that americans can trust again and these great institutions. because if they don't indict anyone we won't find that trust again. these institutions are weaponized and we have to stop them. it never happens again to another president or person. >> sean: every person, and i applaud the attorney general, he is just following the law. he is applying it equally. that will save our great republic and our constitutional form of government. >> i will say the judge really needs to step in here and vacate the guilty plea and allow the department of justice to dismiss this case. that will allow flynn redress and civil court to sue his peers and curators. >> sean: i got to go. great point. i will ask sidney powell and a second. we are learning that even more documents are expected to be released including new text between disgraced fbi levers peter strzok and page, but we now hav

steve: do you think gregg jarrett we don't know when the john durham report is going to be coming outdo you think he is going to look into that and he has a list of people who essentially either broke the law knowingly or unknowingly in the prosecution of this guy, please all that fisa stuff as well? >> gregg: i hope he has looked at the flynn case we also know he has looked into whether the fbi ever had any justification to open an investigation of donald trump and his campaign, which bill barr has suggested never existed. so he is looking at that he is also looking at lying to the fisa court deceiving the judges in perpetrating a fraud. documenting documents in order to spy on the trump campaign. is he looking at a wide variety of things. i'm convinced there is plenty of evidence that government officials were corrupt and violated the law. so it will be up to durham and attorney general barr to decide what to do with all of that should people be prosecuted, i would say certainly yes. steve: well, that's why we judge your judgment because you know so much about it. you should write a

john. caller: hello? host: go ahead. workr: i am employed and for a business services company that provides internet services, so our business has been deemed essential, firstly with the ther of durham and then governor shut down all nonessential businesses, but we are not in that category. i've still working, and thank god i am doing very well. the money that we are going to times two, the $1200 i'm married, we really don't have a need for that. my wife and i have been talking about what we should do with that money. there is a lot of neat in that in thaty -- need community with food banks, gofundme sites for unemployed restaurant workers and so forth, so we're probably going to donate most if not all of that stimulus money that we will be toting from the government those needy organizations. what kind of work do you do, john? are you comfortable the job will continue? said, we provide internet services. i am a systems engineer. we keep the internet going, our of the space, we provide essential services for companies. they still need to be on the internet, and that is what we do. in whatve us an idea you see as far as increased traffic and demand across the internet? caller: it has
