i john solomon's reporting is so good.mes comey said it was salacious and unverified, turns out that was an understatement. it was complete garbage, but they took it to the courty and but for the dossier, they do not get the warrant. the final point, when jim baker, the postst with him, sean, we asked him why, he said he reviewed the fisa, this is one of the very few he reviewed, we asked him why, and he said i knew that it would be in a committee room like this someday. they knew from the start that this thing was a problem. and they did it anyway, and as the president said, if they can do it to a president off the united states and his campaign, imagine what they can do to you or i. >> sean: they were warned, jim jordan, about the first warrant, it is not verified, it is political, hillary paid for it. steele hates him. now we know according to this report tonight that the fbi knew before they signed the warrant, they knew then that it was 90 plus percent was b.s., and baker's comments are a key, and we also have jim com

john solomon's reporting is accurate. >> sean: greg?n the "washington post" and politico, they were saying the i.g. found steele credible therefore his dossier must be credible. that is preposterous. not only has mueller debunked it and the fbi debunked it, thanks to john's reporting we know that for sure, a year ago in my book i went through every single allegation of collusion and debunked it. it was classic as i wrote russian desire information. what they do, the russians throw in one or two tidbits of truth which they did. but they had nothing whatsoever to do with trump-russia collusion. >> sean: this i may be so bold congressman as to ask, and maybe risk our friendship. >> you won't risk the friendship. >> sean: i'm teasing. if you knew this and if andrew mccabe said if there's no dossier there's no fi. a warrant, not only did christopher steele get paid by four separate entities, for lies but the lies everybody was warned about, they used them anyway, that sounds to me like premeditated fraud on the fisa court that happened four

john solomon, this is huge and these questions should be asked tomorrow. >> absolutely. report tonight that john durham's investigation, the one that bill barr launched, is seeking to interview one of the key witnesses and it is ahe challenge to one of the key conclusions in the robert i mueller report. if you are a member, robert that misfud claims that george papadopoulos was the omission point for the whole russian narrative. he used joseph misfud to get to the russian contacts and talk about russian emails. we now know that misfud's lawyers been contacted by prosecutors and he is prepared to provide evidence from his clients showing that it was not some professor, he was a long term western intelligence cooperator who was tasked specifically to approach papadopoulos and introduce him to russian figures in the spring of 2016. if that is not -- if what is been portrayed forre the last three years as some organic collusion theory was in fact an intelligence operation that would change everything we know about the start of this case. >> sean: wow.ut also, i think question

>> sean: all right, thank you john solomon, great reporting. if it were after the so-called journalists -- there are none of the mainstream media -- none of us would ever get reported. biden would never be fully vetted. just like in 2008 with barack obama. remember, this show investigated obama's ties to, yeah unrepentant domestic terrorists bernadine dorn, bill ayres. it was us on this show that were digging into his deep personal connection to reverend wright the church of gd america. and black liberation theology that so inspired him and acorn and community organizing and even and even the gang and so much more. remember throughout his presidency, it was really up to us to cover his scandal-plagued administration because, well journalism is dead and it's been buried quite a while unfortunately. most of the members of the media are nothing more than shills and an extension of the democratic party. they don't care about you, we the people. things have improved so much under donald trump and they hate him. why wouldn't they be championing succe

here with more is john solomon on this breaking news. if director ray doesn't doesn't want to see it, and he is not doing his job, maybe we need a new fbi director because we need to save the single premier law enforcement in the world. this is not some, you know, this is the best law enforcement agency, by far, why would he want this cleaned up? >> listen, i think there's a culture of resisting transparency in the fbi that goes back decades, all the way back to j. edgar hoover. christopher wray's doing a good job of extending that bad part of the legacy, the fbi. the arguments of the fbi is making in this court case against us in the united were not releasing these dart documents are preposterous. one of the reasons is, fbi agents have a presumption of privacy not to be questioned about the public about their conduct in investigations. they argue that this document would harm national security, and give aid to tears, this incredible over the job language. people who have seen the document, including mark meadows, the congressman from no

and according to john solomon during the first two weeks of the special counsel probe, in other words two weeks into robert mueller being appointed, weissmann almost immediately reached out to ukrainian oligarch with a very general law firm. and generous offer. weissmann promised to make all of the prior charges in the united states go away, just give me any dirt you have on president trump or his family or the campaign. and it even got worse than that, in a lot of different ways, because in a bizarre and totally improper move, weissmann laid out exactly what he was looking for and even shared his wild theories about the trump campaign illusion with the oligarch's legal team. two weeks into the witch hunt. remarkably the oligarch did not take the deal. because he did not have any knowledge of campaign collusion. a very sad day when a ukrainian oligarch has more integrity than the u.s. federal prosecutor leading the russia witch hunt against the president of the united states. here with more on this breaking news, well, he developed it to himself, investigative reporter john solomon. t

. ♪ >> john solomon out with a huge breaking story tonight.eporting the fbi kept a spreadsheet with information showing the to be full of false claims. 90% unverifiable, wrong. let's see. the fbi warns that it is unverified. also that hilary paid for it. no dossier. no warrant. now we know the fbi knew it was false? all of it. most of it? two yeah, that is a hundred percent accurate, sean. it took until 2019 to get a definitive answer. the early 17, the fbi has begun a significant effort to assess credibility of the dossier. they came to the assessment after the interview, which i believe was in january-february of 2017, that he was either intentionally misleading or exaggerating in ways that cost steele's report to be grossly inaccurate. the vast majority of them were either wrong, unverifiable, despite all the intelligence the fbi had. an intern with a google search could find on the internet. not actual intelligence, but google garbage. why is that significant? they were continuing to represent to the court that christopher steele was a rep

but first, a bombshell story from the hill's john solomon. exclusive interview with a hole, a russian oligarch and former manafort business client reveals that he was interviewed by the fbi in the fall of 2016 and cast doubt on the phone russian collusion narrative but check this out. according to solomon, the fbi interview was never provided by team mueller, even though it provided potential proof of innocence. joining me now for reaction is fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett, the hill's john solomon and judicial watch president. john, i will go to first. bombshell story, i tweeted it out before, i was reading through it. this is incredible. a russian oligarch with unquestionable ties to putin. they were friends at one point. in metals magnate, his connections to russia are not in question. interviewed by the fbi, according to your story, and in that interview he's asked about this potential collusion between members of the trump team and take it from there about his answer and then what was not provided to the team protecting manafort. >>

just today, john solomon broke a dramatic piece of news that andrew weissmann now for the third time is caught like subordinating perjury with russian ukrainian oligarch. he promises in the big case going on for like six years international case will be dropped. if only he would say, bad things about trump and manna for it -- paul manafort. and he has more honor than wiseman and paul manafort and i won't lie to get out of the case. he wanted to say paul manafort was the go-between with the russians. and that is why he basically tortured paul manafort for how many weeks, i don't know. >> laura: rudy come i think all of this and i have to confess most americans don't fow it. but what i'm saying -- absolutely that is the role of secretary general. >> this is the third witness where he was basically, allegedly perjury. >> laura: why was he not brought in on the case? you talk about this for a year and a half. >> how come you hired the counsel for the clinton foundation to investigate donald trump? suppose i was appointed to investigate hillary and i appoint at the counsel for the trump f

and it is quite apparent now with john solomon's many columns and the help which corrupt media avoids. he should get a pulitzer prize.. he should probably turn it down if he gets it. he has demonstrated that this was an invented charge. completely invented, supported by 90% now proven in the false steele dossier comey new, which mueller should have known in which peter strzok knew for sure. in he was chief investigator for both of them. >> laura: rudy, want to move onto another topic because so much else is going on including the fraud squad or whatever we want to call them, they hate girls. i hear new monikers for them but they are up in arms about what they say is the president's, well, inherent racism. and trump responded today. >> well, i think they are very bad for our country. i think they must hate our country. the congresswomen what they have said about israel and what they have said about our country. when they talk about disgusting people. w when they talk the way they talk. when the one mentioned that a brown people should speak for brown people and muslim people should spe

now, sean, for you and i and geraldo and john solomon, sara carter and others who followed this case, this case was obviously a hoax from the start. if the media would have respected their oath and had any journalistic integrity, it would've been obvious. i mean, can i give you a quick example good real clear investigations set a report on the footnote to the more important. this is fascinating. the footnote, one of the ways that knocks the integrity of the trauma team, one of the footnote said that a guy told the guy that trump was thinking about stopping by a chess tournament in new york where a russian guy was there. folks, you can read that in the mueller report. i'm not making this up. you can read a bit i was in the mueller report. period that a dude told another dude that trump may stop by a chess tournament and there was a russian dude there. this is what they did in the mueller report. examples are everywhere here one more click naked where were the root media reports that christoe already indicated to the state department that two sources for his dossier were two russians? h

for you and i, and geraldo, john solomon, sara carter, others, this case was obviously a hoax from the start. if the media would have respected their oath and had any journalistic integrity, it would have been obvious. i give you a quick example. real clear investigations that report in the footnotes in the mueller report. this is fascinating. a footnote, one of the ways they kind of knocked the integrity of the trump team, and attached it to the russians, one of the footnotes says that a guy told the guy that trump was thinking about stopping by a chess tournament in new york were a russian guy was there. folks, you can read that in the mueller report. i'm not making this up. that was on the mueller report, that ar dude told another dude that trump may stop by a chess tournament and there was a russian guy there. this is what they did in the mueller report. the examples are everywhere. one more quick link come where were the media reports that christopher steele already indicated to the state department that two sources for his dossier were two russians? have you heard anything about

john solomon is here from the aspen institute. the aspen institute has been doing such great work. i was involved in project play from the beginning. they're looking at sport as a public health issue. they are doing and norms important work. -- enormously important work. amy dunham helps get the good word out about sports and the way we need to keep getting the good word out about sports and keep abreast of everything that is happening. spent countless hours to try to get this conference right. this is an academic conference. it is a conference in the living memory of derek sheely. we want to get everything about this right. this is in just a conference. this is part of -- is not just a conference. this is part of a movement to understand how we can mitigate catastrophic injury in sport. we have to do everything we can to mitigate the risk of sport. when i think of the ncaa and why i am so proud to be working with the ncaa, i think of john parsons, who went on to get his phd to understand how to get sport right from a public health point of view. everything you do for this conferen

we found out from john solomon last week that he had a spreadsheet, even if you are in early 2017, said 90% of this saying was false garbage and not true. comey signed it though and that allowed a backdoor for carter page to spy on your campaign, later transitioning to the presidency. but mccabe, chart, page, brennan, klapper, may be sourcing out what would be illegal intelligence gathering gathering. we know the attorney general was there. is there any of these names -- what you think of these people? when jane's comey signed the first pfizer application in october 2016, winter trump tower in january 2017, and told you it was unverified, months earlier, he swore on that application, the pfizer application that was verified, so he lied. what are your thoughts about these people today? >> president trump: well, comey is a liar and a leaker and that's obvious. all you have to do is just follow him along and see what he said to congress. klapper ends brennan and all of these people, mccabe, these are bad people. my opinion, they are very bad people. they've been very bad for the country. t

lou: we're watching -- speaking of honor and integrity, john solomon who has been at the forefront of the reporting as you well know on spy-gate in all of its various forms. chris wray appears to be trying to cover up for james comey and to cover up, for example, suing to block the release of documents that are frankly -- that contain mostly information that has been in the clear. absolutely open sources. >> yeah. so those -- that's a very interesting lawsuit. and i think, you know, oftentimes you're are trying to protect your methods or sources or if you receive some intelligence from a foreign intelligence source. but in this case it doesn't appear to meet those qualifications. and the good news -- i hate to say this because sometimes we want it to be immediate. but a court will probably take that and review it in camera, a see what the arguments are and made a good decision. you have the right to appeal. ultimately the information will get out. we need more transparency and accountability. some of these challenges once we have that will be able to restore the integrity and the peop

. >> after solomon's death, his son, john, packs up some of his father's belongings into a trunk thatrs the family name, and over the years, the cedar chest gets handed down through the generations. >> john solomon warner, when he passed away, it went to his only daughter, josefina, and then everything that she had went to my mother, elva. >> why has the family held on to it? >> it's an heirloom. my mother always used it for storing ancient family relics. she was very proud of it. >> the trunk stays in elva's living room until she passes away in 2009. then her son jock, one of four heirs, moves the crate to his home and takes an inventory of its contents, including those old blue jeans. >> what'd they look like? >> they were very weird jeans. they didn't have belt loops, and they only had one pocket on the back. they looked like a pair of old blue jeans that had been washed once and then folded and put away. >> weren't they worn out? >> they are in like-new condition. >> like brand-new? >> like brand-new. >> and on the back of those spotless jeans, a famous marking. >> they had the le

alert, we got massive huge breaking news surrounding the steele dossier, we'll break the hill's john solomonid occ occur, we have confirmation. also coming up, solomon will be here with the brand new evidence that will blow a lot of this wide open. also tonight, we are going to begin with the fake moral phony selective outrage that is the swamp, washington, d.c. first it's collusion, then it's obstruction, now it's racism. anything to just hate trump every second everyin

according to a brand-new report breaking moments ago, investigative reporter john solomon, the d.c. cc so that democratic allies can access all of this expensive material. without technically violating any campaign finance laws. but first, we do turn to the doj's internal watchdog, the inspector general who has now been hard at work looking for the serious abuse of power and corruption we've been telling you about. according to the doj, inspector general michael horowitz, his team is reviewed more than a million records and conducted a hundred interviews into the fisa abuse and the finding of this probe. we expect in the middle of may, late make. that timing now is in flux because of two reasons for a last-minute interview that became available with christopher steele. he's worried about what other people are saying about him. over the course of two days, nearly 16 hours, the author of hillary's bought and paid for russian dossier sat down with our investigators. of course, the clinton bought and paid for ops research was a very basis for , the bulk of information of the fisa warran

then john solomon's report which is the fbi had their own spreadsheet, even they knew that 90% of it was garbage, so then on top of this, now we are seeing just how high up it goes do you think we get to the question of when did obama knowu it? >> the meeting occurred before comey went and ambushed then candidate trump with the dossier of january 2017. there was an oval office meeting where comey brought up thehe dossier with mr. obama mr. biden, susan rice was there. and i think brennan was there. and they all discuss the dossier. susan rice was there as well. obama knew about the dossier and the text messages between strzok and page. the white house wanted to know about this. when it came to going aftere trump on the dossier and the obama administration it was all hands on deck and was orchestrated out of the white house. and i think the big issue is for the media and investigators, why isn't president obama being asked to serious questions about this? >> sean: not one time. i know sleepy creepy crazy uncle biden will be asked about this. great work as always. judicial watch. this

it goes also tonight according to the hills john solomon ukraine ambassador to america was asked by democrats for dirt on trump in 2016. he has been removed by the country's new president. this is all part of several unanswered questions about how the whole hoax really started. senator lindsey graham is now bowing to do with a deep dive into all of this on his own. take a look. >> i promise your listeners after horwitz in his report about the flawed faisal warren i am going to deep dive into how this stuff started. how could it go so far if there was no collusion? see go here now, ranking member of the house intel committee devin nunes along with author of the brand-new book, power grab former chair of the house oversight committee, fox news contributor, jason chaffetz. devin nunes, i will ask you. look, mueller has been clear and i assume he is going to stand by what he said in his nine and have been a disastrous press conference. i assume he is going to stick to the mueller report on the questions that the democrats want to answer. i don't think he could go back to, because now he is flip-f

>> and he knew, because he was very close to strzok -- he was involved in this in 2016, as john solomon has uncovered. so he had a real, vested interest in this, way beyond what is healthy for a prosecutor. now bob mueller has some kind of a weird attachment to him, which i can't quite figure out because it q mueller, he's never been an unethical prosecutor. this guy is a textbook on ethical prosecutor, and we are going to add the chapters to that. i mean, offering a ukrainian oligarch freedom if he says what you want to say? >> sean: two weeks! >> the ukrainian oligarch has more honor thann you do and say, i won't lie to you. so does paul manafort, so does jerome corsi come and about five other people. this guy was pretty close. that is a serious, serious crime, and that has got to be fullyas investigated, and if he did f it come he's got to be prosecuted. >> sean: this prosecutorial task act of offering a get out of jail free card if you tell us what you want to hear, this has got to stop because it is there anything of greater value than your freedom? >> you don't tell people -- i ge

continues to be strong, and that their families have you know good schools for kids to go to -- >> john solomonrkforce up comey's russia shenanigans we're not getting missiadmissio into the russia meddling story we are waiting on john durham william barr when do you expect what is timing when do you expect we will hear information in terms of what they uncovered. >> so you know inspector general horowitz always does thorough job i was there, waiting for his report in clinton e-mail situation, and all of the tangential issues it took longer than we had hoped women hearing september for horowitz, i think john durham is top-notch u.s. attorney i expect early answer going to bes extraordinary what they have to hear i read solomon's article as well i hope chris ray understands how important it that is we have transparency and accountability on you know what jim comey fbi was doing he and andy mccabe were doing that started this whole investigation. >> we know there was illegal leaking, and illegal lying to congress, leaking confidential data do you think there is going to be prosecutions will we see

. >> joining me issee executive political commentator john solomon from the hill thanks for being hereu heard from jim jordan the case of joseph joseph told george papadopoulos russia has hillary clinton e-mail papadopoulos told me others that was entrap meant trying to tell him something he would pass on to look like a conspiracy you've got new reporting this week. >> i do, i think there was a lot of reason for some of the questions yesterday, joseph if you believe mueller report started it all at a contact you mentioned with papadopoulos what fbi says was reason they opened entire russia collusion investigation, i reported on tuesday, that bill barr's hand picked u.s. attorney john durham is reaching out to him and attorney to secure a new interview that signals one we figure key inclusion of the moourp report is revisited by the new team by durham why is that the what the lawyer told me is that he is prepared to show durham that his clients was long-term western intejs asset specifically tasked to meet papadopoulos and introduce him, to it be russia's overseas that could suggest a s

durham investigating this and durham's team is looking to interview joseph missfoot according to john solomon missfoot tasked with giving george papadopoulos access to russian intelligence, basically george papadopoulos met missfoot in rome and he drops a bomb on his lap by saying the russians have hillary clinton's. mails. i asked george papadopoulos about that meeting in rome. he tells you russia has e-mails of hillary clinton's and this is the bomb that you feel was the whole reason that they wanted you to go to rome, to meet him, because they wanted him to tell you about these. e-mails that russia had of hillary clinton, is that right. >> that's absolutely right. maria: they wanted you to tell trump about russia having hillary clinton e-mails. did you do that? >> absolutely not. that wasn't my job. maria: you told the fbi, you believe you met him in march when in fact you met him in april and that was the perjury. so you went to jail for what? how many nights? >> i went to jail for 11 nights because of this, after i had honey pots money thrown my way, wiretaps, surveillance by foreign cou

last two days, john solomon, should get the pulitzer prize, turn it down, he reported that andrew wiseian: he reached out to -- >> on the job for two weeks. doesn't even know the case. reaches out no one of the most notorious wanted criminals, ukrainian oligarch evading extradition for four years, represented by lanny davis by the way, making millions from the oligarch, he tells the oligarch what to say. i will get all cases tropical depression. i can take care of two attorney's offices, if you give me the following, dirt on trump and manafort. manafort was the connection, wasn't he. that is why he kept manafort in solitary confinement for seven months. i was on the show seven times complaining of that. he would call manafort in the office of the he would tell manafort the key getting out of solitary confinement. to me this is stubborning perjury. what did this guy do about it? he didn't know anything. did he fire strzok. did he investigate the entire investigation that strzok duct duct -- conducted for a year. he told his girlfriend there, then they started a investigation on no there

mopeds rahel solomon is not joy riding around brooklyn despite of what you heard in the tease she is there with the story. rahel? >> reporter: nod joy riding but having a lot of joy, johnperhaps? we're seeing emopeds emerge as a contender in this market the company that i'm riding now, they are all over the place in brooklyn, in queens, so the bright blue things, you see them everywhere, tops at about 29 miles per hour you can seat two people. hardest part i would have to say is probably parking so let's see how gracefully i can do this it start with $1, do you it on an app after that it's 25 cents per minute you do have to have a driver's license, a valid driver's license, you have to be 21 years old to do it and you can't have any duis, so they screen people beforehand the company revel, relatively new, started in 2018, launched with just 68 mopeds. from there in late may of this year we saw them expand to 1,000 mopeds and since then, the company says they have seen 200,000 rides between the two burroughs. the ceo telling us they have on average 750 people signing up each and every day now we do have other players in the market, when you i have micromobility, you thi
