she produced a very john solomon from the hill and fox news contributor sara carter, investigative reporteret's start with the fbi issue first. both you and john report this. baker originally believed what we all know is a fact. clinton committed a felony that was a violation of the espionage act and i believe obstruction of justice after they rigged investigations. >> yet. what's so fascinating about baker's testimony is that he's going through this t back-and-forth john ratcliffe out of texas was questioning him about this. and he specifically states that he absolutely believed from the beginning when he went through this binder, he was basically given a binder with the classified emails, with documents. he was appalled. he didn't see any other way around it but to charge hillary clinton. and he continued to battle according to hisclto own testimy with people in his office along with comey as well. he had these arguments going back and forth until the very end. and it wasn't until the very end that he changed his mind. but more importantly when ratcliffe questions him again. and he says d

john solomon, great reporting. as always.'s start with first today, the reporting that schiff and reynolds -- simpsonso on were together in aspen. how much should we make of it? >> a couple years ago democrats made a big point of the fact that devin nunes exercising his oversight authority went to the white house to get some facts about unmasking. thin adam schiff called him on the carpet and said it was corrupt and ruined the integrity of the investigation. forced devin nun toes go through an versus d -- nunes to go through an investigation and recuse himself on the russian probe. now he meets with glenn simpson, one of the middle east important fact witnesses of the russia case. it's the intersection of the clinton campaign and the justice department. and he has this contact and he doesn't tell the committee. fit was good for the goose nunes it should have been good for the gander named schiff. he didn't notify the committee and you are starting to hear republicans raise heck about it. lou: they have been racing heck for tw

and dan bongino, gregg jarrett, john solomon, dana lash and much more.e are reaching a turning point that will forever determine our future. how we live our lives and how our children will live theirs. the gap between the ever widening left and right has never been wired. yet amazingly it continues to widen. every time we turn on a tv, open a laptop or listen to the radio, another bizarre, offbeat, outlandish idea brings us closer to socialism and the destruction of capitalism and is being pushed by the left. so you have a decision to make. do you want to live in a country where no matter how hard you work, what you do or how much you succeed, you won't improve your lot. do you want to benefit from your own success or would you prefer the government take over and use your been first to pay everyone else. in the last few weeks the left has removed its moderate mass to show its true socialist colors as they clear laws that allow for the killing of babies already born and born alive. giving the mother the right of a thumbs up or thumbs down like an emperor

let me go back to john solomon. you did a lot of the uranium one story.st interviewed -- we had an fbi informant that knew that -- mr. campbell -- that chronicled for than fbi director mueller, that there was bribery, extortion, kickbacks, money laundering going on, by putin thugs in america. they still got the uranium one deal through. talk about money from russia. the clintons got kickbacks from those people to theba tune of $145 billion in speaking fees, and mueller also, we now know through bruce ohr's testimony, he was the conduit for information from the fired christopher steele from the fbi, the liar, the leaker, trying to come in this investigation, to pass information to the special counsel. >> two and explicable cases. you describe it that way, gregg's book does such a good job. what is the one common link? rod rosenstein was a prosecutor in uranium one and he's a guy running the fisa process. there is a question that rod rosenstein has never been answered, and one of them that i have to put on the table, we are learning something now, i wonder

stay with us, john solomon coming right back. -we're doing karaoke later, and you're gonna sing. -i know, it's not much, but it's home. right, kids? -kids? -papa, papa! -[ laughs ] -you didn't tell me your friends were coming. -oh, yeah. -this one is tiny like a child. -yeah, she is. oh, but seriously, it's good to be surrounded by what matters most -- a home and auto bundle from progressive. -oh, sweetie, please, play for us. -oh, no, i couldn't. -please. -okay.

stay with us, john solomon coming right back.we're back with john solomon investigative reporter and john tell us about your new op-ed out this morning. >> so i have a new article out that identifies more than a dozen instances in which democratic players in the russia scandal had contact with russian s and i'll just use one good example. a lot of people don't know this but christopher steele's primary source for all of the evidence he put in the dossier gave to the fbi was a retired russian intelligence operative very important for people to know. he took information from russia, as a foreign agent himself a britt gave it to the fbi the fbi gave to the court even though it was unverified and that's how he launched this investigation so the article goes to a dozen of those sort of contacts and what you're seeing as the evidence of russia collusion by donald trump dissolves into what it was a political dirty trick. the evidence of the democrats working the russians to influence the elections are starting to grow. maria: i understa

john solomon is going to join us. mueller was hauled in front of the fisa court in the early 2000's to answer for fbi surveillance abuses, many of them, reportedly included exculpatory information. anderson told investigators late last year, quote, it preceded my time with the fbi, but it was a pattern of omissions that were of concern to the fisa court that resulted in the former director mueller himself actually appearing before the fisa court and the special counsel is declining to comment. does that sound familiar? not disclosing to the fisa court that the dirty dossier, full of russian lies, they never investigated that. former f we have exposed mueller is on a partisan witch-hunt. look at the team of democrats he hired. even more importantly, she was an attorney for the clinton foundation, part of mueller's team. his pit bull was at hillary's party. like in the case of sydney powell's book. she'll be here in a moment. and remember, mueller hired fbi lovers strzok and page and we all know where they stand. they h

and john solomon, your paper, "the hill," mueller interviewed mccabe in search of russian dirt.ut first of all, we know andrew weissmann was briefed by others in 2016. number two, we know that bruce ohr was funneling information from christopher steele long after steele was fired from lying in leaking by the fbi to the special counsel's office. does that mean the dossier that hillary paid for with russian lies, has that become the road map for this witch hunt? >> it certainly was one of the road maps. tomorrow i'm going to report that there was a third dossier. remember, we know about the steele dossier, we know about the blumenthal dossier, sent to the state department, forwarded to the fbi. tomorrow, i'm going to report that there was a third dossier put together and given to the justice department using fusion dps materials, and when you hear who wrote it, who gave it to the justice department, and who knew about it, you going to love this. >> sean: after two years of us being together, you are now not going to tell me and you know who wrote it? [laughter] and you have this o

a shocking new report by john solomon in "the hill" raising serious concerns about special counsel robertller's integrity over the course of his career. mueller called to appear before a secret fisa court back in 2002. sixteen years ago to answer questions about a large number of instances in which the fbi cheated on sensitive surveillance warrant applications. joining us tonight, congressman jim jordan, ranking member of the house oversight committee, member of the judiciary committee, co-founder of the influential house freedom caucus. congressman, great to have you with us. >> good to be with you. lou: first, your reaction to the president's speech last night. >> yeah, great speech. i like the fact he talked about american greatness. the guests he had from the greatest generation, the one who survived the concentration -- i thought it was a well done speech, tremendously well delivered and, frankly, lou, the part i liked the best was when he talked about respect for the sanctity of human life. you think about it in the context we now look at in this in light of what took place in new y

john solomon compared it to the famous song "don't cry for me argentina." joining us now, all three. geraldo at large. you're so passionate about this. you saw this go on today. it didn't have to happen today. they want to play politics, okay, not today. >> i think it was pathetic the timing. they easily could have postponed it 48 hours, 72 hours to let the world focus on this profoundly significant event. but there's something that i need to tell people that they have to be reinforced about. a week ago mccabe, the former acting director of the fbi was promoting his book saying it was possible that the president of the united states was a traitor, was an agent of the russian federation. he said it was possible. he was asked the question repeated it. so he had president trump being suspected of treason just a week ago. now where are we? zero, nada, none, absolutely -- absolute this much evidence of collusion with russia. there is no russian collusion. it is a fantasy. >> sean: look what he said -- finish that thought. it's about time, i'm sorry. >> i just th

and dan bongino, gregg jarrett, john solomon, dana lash and much more.hing a turning point that will forever determine our future.

going on today never happened before as far as i'm concerned from what has taken place at the fbi john solomona few days ago that the testimony provided behind closed doors by the general counsel of the fbi film by james baker and the investigation himself said right up to the last point he believed clinton should be charged with felony violations of the espionage act and then was convinced they did not have enough proof to demonstrate she had specific intent for go that is an interesting point this statute has been around over 100 years it talks about gross negligence it does not require specific intent. what do you make of this? it is confounding in many ways first there is a bizarre press conference he does not talk to the attorney general one of the things the attorney general spoke about that was the attorney general's decision and a few days before and then quickly don't worry everything will be fine and then to have the general counsel who says i thought she should be charged all along but at the end what took place quick. >> the fbi should have been a full consultation with the justice

[ laughter ] and then this year for christmas, we're all sitting around, john solomonlows. this is what we got. we get this simple, you can kind of see it already but there is -- okay, there we go.s so t what we got. just like a simple pillow with metal, silver sequins as you c see. well this is one of those things where when you rub it the other way an image comes out. >> seth: yeah. >> let me ow you what's the image. [ dience gasps ]le ohme -- that's the right side up. [ audience groans ] >> seth: now obviously, put it down because we're gonna have to blur it. [ laughter ] and basically people at home, the only way they're going to have to judge what it the noise that they made, the audience here made. >> it is a super close up picture of this guys ball sack. and to ge you an idea of -- it's so close up that just picture seth's face as a nut sack.

[ laughter and applause ] >> seth: so what did you do with it? >> oh. so i received this thing and i'm like, "this is great"

. >> sean: john solomon reported that then-fbi director mueller where to go before the midi with exculpatorytion withheld to deny the fisa. mccabe said no dossier, no fisa, but they used the unverified dossier, signed off on as if it was gospel, they never verified. >> i don't forget, what we've been saying publicly for many, many months, it is not just that they used the dossier, it is not just that the dossier made up most of the fisa, it is also everything else that they did. it is how they lied. it is how they obstructed our investigation. if you remember, people forget about this, people went out and said the dossier didn't have anything to do with it, all of this other stuff. we went down and look at all of the other stuff, and that is what we have been asking the president to declassify because we believe that what makes up that so-called "other stuff," is equally as bad as using political dirt. >> sean: i predict at one point he will. congressman, great work. thank you for updating us and being with us. devin nunes, thank you. >> thank you, sean peered >> sean: up next, a shocking ne

then we learn from the hill's john solomon the fbi uncovered a russian bribery plot. that's when we talk about the uranium deal. bribery, kick backs, extortion, money laundering yes and a relationship and meeting with bill clinton and valentine's day. wladimir. where is the clinton collusion uranium one, 145 million? that's right. >> we don't live in a constitutional republic anymore, do we? we have a two tier justice system. one set of rules for democrats and the clintons. one set of rules political persecution for anybody and everybody that likes donald trump. predawn raids, 27 people for process crimes. amphibious vehicles, frogs, artillery, full swat gear, armed, predawn raids, why? because hillary was the chosen one. she is the one they saved from getting indicted. they never wanted donald trump to become president. they think that they know better than you, we, the people. think about that. and they abuse their power to favor their candidate over another. they spread misinformation, russian lies, and did not apply the law equally. no equal justice, no equal appl

. >> okay, so it is true that jorma taccone, john solomon and i, all last week pitch a a macgruber, likew!

john solomon joined me yesterday.cifically pointed to clinton's involvement in the skulkavo project if you remember. >> he invited medevedev to come to the united states. he arranged -- maria: you're saying this was a national security issue. >> it was. absolutely. and i think what ends up happening is a few years later the united states military and fbi counter intelligence division raced warnings that the ksokovo used by the russians to bleed technology. something that sounded good got clinton foundation donors involved. it became a threat to national security. maria: your take-away from the solomon op ed and whether or not william barwilliam barr looks a. >> i think it should. this should have been examined by james comey and loretta lynch. this gets into uranium one and bill clinton speaking fees and clinton foundation and a lot of it is tied together and the scab on the wound has healed and we've never seen what's underneath it. maria: i remember covering the project when it was at cnbc. the russians wanted to be

and jpmorgan and met with david solomon and jamie dimon and see how the governing maxine comparing to the campaign maxine that's gotten attention for feistiness. >> yeah, johngs to come it's all six big banks and not just wells fargo and goldman sachs. it was a broader selection which i guess is relatively encouraging for those banks or individuals that perhaps have a few more issues on the plate than others. but it's interesting as you say to when hearings come out and, also clearly, i wouldn't expect any lawmaker to say i want the bank dos go out of business. the question is whether they want individuals to go out of their role. >> right and in terms of that hearing that you mentioned, i talked to an executive with one of the banks who's going to be participating who said that their conversation with maxine waters about that hearing was pretty positive. it was about let's talk about ways that you can improve our economy and improve american prosperity more broadly, not just people doing well but for people in middle and working class down the income scale not doing well. >> john, great stuff thank you very much for us in d.c. >>> last year the health care
