john solomon, great reporting on the hill. joining me now is the host of michelle malcolm investigates on crtv. michelle malcolm, nra contributor danrv. let's go over, shall we, michelle -- i love truth and history -- i know you do -- iranian 1 happened under president obama's watch, right? that's 20% of american uranium, foundational material for nuclear weapons. the interference of the meddling of the 2016 election happened under obama. crimea happened under obama. ukraine happened under obama. and the syrian red line was crossed also under obama. um, how come the media didn't care about any of this? >> because they suffer from selective sovereignty syndrome. they only care about foreign meddling and foreign conflicts when there's a president with an "r" by his name and especially when that "r" comes in the word trump, t-r-u-m-p. go back to the clinton years and chinagate and the dangerous national security implications of all of the campaign contributions that were coming in from shady characters all the way back then. who

disgusting. >> a great code word in that document from john solomon today.y used the term, a new code word dragon. that reminded me of dragon energy. that kanye west talked about. president trump is my brother. i love everyone. trying to create a better world for all american citizens and better peaceful situation in the world versus what we heard from mr. hahn. tearing people down. the funny part is that going back to the dossier they pulled these same false hoods. >> tucker: you don't seem like a spy to me. we are out of time. thank you, both. whoa! dan served his country. a former secret service agent and joins us now. do you love your country? did you ever think we would get to a place where the mccarty era restarted with a different cast? people are accusing one another of not loving their country because they hand a college syllabus to someone working for a foreign country? >> it's a disgrace. this is a stain upon our country. >> tucker: it is. >> alan dershowitz can't go to a dinner and he is a liberal, but he is asking: where is the crime? carter pag

we will take up the timing of these charges with john solomon right after the break. stay with us. cena: patriotism. it inspires passionate debate and is worn like a badge of honor. and with good reason. because it means love and devotion for one's country. love. but what really makes up this country of ours? what is it we love? it's the people. almost half the country belongs to minority groups. people who are lesbian. african american. and bi. and transgender. and native american. and proud of it! after all, what's more american than the freedom to celebrate the things that make us...us? this year patriotism shouldn't just be about pride of country. it should be about love. love beyond age, disability, sexuality, race, religion, and any other labels. because the second any of us judge people based on those labels, we're not really being patriotic, are we? because love has no labels. ♪ dear humans, this is an adoption campaign, but, it's not for me or mr. buttons or frank over there, it's for you humans. this is a call to humans to adopt our movement to adopt our cause. this is no

swept russian meddling in our elections away and tell it could no longer be resisted by joining us john solomonributor for the hill one of the countries best journalists and i was a delight to have you with us john. let me start with maria butina. this is a fascinating story because for some reason a lot of people bumped the idea that this young woman really did represent gun rights groups again in russia. a little preposterous but apparently she was convincing. >> i will tell you a story i have never told before. in march of 2015 i observed her in several events relate cozying up to conservatives and making what i thought was a weekend at case for the courageous gun rights activist going up against putin prepares never going to be a 2nd amendment in russia. i became perplexed by her behavior and going up to congressional candidates. i call the fbi and the u.s. intelligence and very quickly i learned we know she is somebody as an agent of influence connected to this guide portion and we know what she's trying to do. that's really interesting. it doesn't appear they ever did. i thought the role

john solomon himself. rudy giuliani is going, this can be really happening. , why does this matter that there are three different versions of the salacious dossier floating around at different times that are clearly attacking donald trump? >> in counterintelligence, one of the most important thing agent should avoid. it's an echo chamber. they fired mr. steele. member, they had inappropriate contact. >> laura: he shouldn't have talked to reporters. it really reliable, thanks. >> somehow, these updates keep happening. john mccain, they gave it to him. he said a big fan of president trump. >> laura: we need to talk more about the mccain angle. god bless him is suffering. no one wants to talk about that. we have two. spigot we know from a testimony, he sets that delivery. he mage that john mccain's people got that. now you have david corn who wrote a story in october then decided to give the document to fbi. that doesn't make sense. nothing wrong and october, you've already written about it. why did you give to the fbi? >> glenn simpson, he might have used mr. oh

particularly after seeing john solomon's article today, it becomes, the whole, you know, using the termm that quote you had, pretext. the pretext was absolutely outrageous. ridiculous. so, you know, this is pretext wrapped upon pretext. completely out of control. i can't even imagine what i would be charged with. >> tucker: do you know after, again, all of this, what exactly the suspected crime was. you were the subject of a fisa warpt, the federal government turning its surveillance powers on you. a big deal. we have the whole system designed to keep that from being abused. why would they want to read the e-mails and spy on ways we don't know about. what did they think you were doing? igo report 1.0, a lot of political motivations behind what was happening earlier in the presidential election campaigns. and i think what is a lot of evidence that has come out both from house intelligence committee, senate judiciary committee, how judiciary as well as others, there's a lot of abuses going on. so, i think it's completely political. there's nothing substantive to this, whatsoever. >> tucke

>> ♪ >> sean: tonight the hill's john solomon has a brand new report. look at this headline.et bamboozled by multiple versionss of the dossier. the bureau possessed at least three versions from the dossier. he is the author of this book: greg jarrett. let me get this straight. as the nunes memo pointed out. as the graham memo pointed out the bulk of information for the fisa warrant was that phoney dossier. multiple versions, none verified but all used to present to the court and spread by john brennan? >> you have it right. the fbi according to peter strzok's own email to his intelligence team. they got one version go a liberal journalist and one from senator mccain that came from the steele people and one from glenn who claimed he didn't give a version to the fib. in the intelligence world it's call circulular reporting. if i went to amazon and 3 days later it comes does it comes again does a week later it comes again. check your credit card and call and say why you sending me this? the fbi fbi doesn't do that. they get more and more excited about investigating trump. it com

here was more from the hill is john solomon. big story. >> i think once important here, the evidence in this case has been produced episodically to congress. you get a single witness, a few documents they forgot to give you, then another witness. what happened over the last couple weeks, congress has gone back to reassemble and look back. one of the questions they are trying to answer, is there actions that were taken that clearly could be attributed to political bias? this discussion that you just highlighted has become very important. they've now confirmed, they put all the text messages and emails from mid-may, they see a discussion going on between us peter strzok and it lisa page appeared we stay in the fbi and go pointer to get up the elevator, or should we go try to get resident rep impeached? at some point, they say, maybe we should stop this discussion but they keep going anyways. we don't really need to go over there, there is no there there. there is not going to be a big crime found. i think that's essential because

after seeing john solomon's article, it becomes, the whole, using the term from that quote that you had, pretext. the pretext was absolutely outrageous. ridiculous. >> they found a protect. then they surveilled the guy for a year. sounds like a guy that seems pretty confident they didn't find anything. was this the witch hunt the president accuses? >> carter page was a cooperating informant with the fbi. and strzok knew that. that's why they used the phrase pretext. the spying on carter page was a convenient vehicle to get at the trump operation. who knows what other applications were corruptly sent over to the court as well. carter pam isn't going to be prosecuted. there is no russia collusion. and the only collusion that we're aware of with respect to russia is hillary clinton, using gps to gather russian intelligence to smear donald trump. mueller ought to be investigating how his investigation started if he's looking for russian could lugs. -- collusion. >> mueller's operation is ramping up we hear. what does that say to you? >> well, there are no controls over mueller, practically
