lisa paige responds "yeah. a real profile encourage since she knows no charges will be brought." the fbi is missing five months of text messages between the pair. how did this happen? where they erased? >> jesse: let's play a game. mueller is supposed to be interviewing president trump soon. what if afterwards we found text messages from his team saying that they knew that mueller was going to exonerate president trump before the interview happened. do you think people would be upset by that? i think people would be upset. the mainstream media doesn't care about this. they don't care that the fix was in for hillary clinton. what i care about are these months of text messages that went missing. i don't believe they went missing. i believe they were destroyed. that's common sense. it's not a glitch. this happens to too often

republican lawmakers who have seen some of the thousands of texts between the fbi's peter struck and lisa paige. >> the day after the election, the day after what they really, really didn't want to have happen, there's a text exchange between these two fbi agents, these two supposed to be objective fak centered fbi agents saying perhaps this is the first meeting of the secret society. so of course i'm going to want to know what secret society are you talking about because you're supposed to be investigating objectively the person who just won the electoral college. yeah, i'm going to want to know. lou: our first guest tonight is congressman francis rooney. he's called for a purge of the bad actors at the fbi and the department of justice. also tonight, major developments in the special counsel witch hunt. mueller has now is interviewed attorney general jeff sessions and former fbi director james comey. president trump however says he's not concerned about the investigation the special counsel which has yet to yield a shred of evidence of collusion. >> no, i'm not at all concerned. not at all. n

peter strzok and lisa paige.essages raised here from critics about possible bias in the investigation of hillary clinton's emails. well, they reveal they were concerned about being too tough on her. during that email probe. the governors were claiming tonight that personal feelings do not affect investigations. >> the text released by senate judiciary committee chuck grassley suggested senior fbi officials were concerned there could be backlash from hillary clinton if the bureau investigated her email use to rigorously and she were elected president. and the tests are boosting republicans who believe special counsel, robert mueller investigation into possible russian collision during the election is biased because the officials who exchanged the thousands of texts, worked briefly on the russia probe and many of their messages suggesting anti-trumpet sentiment. while the officials are no longer with the investigation, it has many split on if the russia probe can still be fair. >> i don't think it takes a whole inv

four minutes after that text message he sent another message to lisa paige where he says an investigationhat leads to impeachment, if that doesn't go to their entire plan, and the animus they had for donald trump, i don't know what does. never forget peter strzok was the key guy in the clinton investigation committee interviewed clinton, he was the guy who changed the exoneration. >> the mainstream media grows -- ignore the growing countries, abc news ignoring the story altogether with nbc and cbs barely referencing the text with another stories. since the jaw-dropping text messages surfaced, gop lawmakers calling into question the credibility of james comey's testimony specifically the timeline of when the former fbi director decided not to press charges against hillary clinton the private email probe. >> did you make the decision not to recommend criminal charges relating to classified information before or after hillary clinton was interviewed by the fbi? >> after. of colleagues of ours believe i'm lying about when i made the decision please urge them to contact me privately so we can

now, paul, you think the matter of the text messages between peter strzok and lisa paige is pertinentat least for congress to look in to in their oversight role, correct? >> yes. it's very important because you have to remember strzok was the number two counterintelligence agent in the fbi and he was involved heavily in the investigation of hillary clinton's e-mails and then subsequently he's put on the mueller investigation team. he was removed. in these e-mails, the initial batch, 350 text messages were released, both he and lisa page, his paramount, his girlfriend, mistress, whatever you want to call her who was working for the number two guy in the fbi exchanged descriptions of the president as a loathsome human being, an idiot, someone who would be terrifying if he was elected president and this individual, both of these individuals were involved in the mueller investigation. so i think there's some legitimate questions to be asked about them and we have to look at their other e-mails and text messages. >> they have plenty of not nice of things to say including hillary clinton an

i think it's highly unusual that peter strzok and lisa paige exchanged text messages where they say we need an insurance policy because we can't let the american people elect donald trump president. can't let that happen and he's the guy on the mueller team. highly unusual when normally the invest greaters say, can't make information public ongoing investigation. they say we'll release 375 texts. why did they release any texts and why only 375 of the 10,000? that's unusual that bruce, a top lawyer ate the justice department's wife was working on the dossier project and i want answers in the midst of all the investigations we have. >> does it at all not make you feel better that robert mueller got rid of these fbi investigators from his team before you and others pointed this out? this is only known after the fact. he got rid of these investigators before -- they found themselves, their own internal -- does that not give you any sort of confidence that, you knee what? he is policing his investigators. >> that's fine, but they didn't tell us why they got rid of him, and never forget, lis

abc news is reporting any say they got ahold of it that johnson says is to damning former agent lisa paige. texting strok. are you giving out calendar being seems depressing. maybe it should be the first meeting of the secret society. does that implicate -- indicate to you they were plotting something against the president there? or is it a cheeky text message. >> well, that's right. i thought it was sarcastic. tongue in cheek, sort of communication between her and her friend strok. i don't think it had anything to do with knights testimony plar or elders of zion or skull and cross. >> near out to get the president and here is proof they're talking about the secret society. look it's right there in these text messages. don't believe it. it is the media, the anti-trump media that's out to get you and here is the proof. and people at home are like oh, yeah. none of it's real. it's not real. >> except -- except to asha's point, what is real about this is the attack on the justice system. we heard congressman talking about palace coup. and coup detat and secret societies all of which undermine

. >> since then the revelation of these text messages between peter struck and lisa paige to the folks working on the fbi investigation and the russia probe is in andy's office. they think they're talking about discussions about trump in andy mccabe's office. a few have come out and we at cnn have not seen them. these have been released by republican lawmaker rob johnson, and here are some of them. lisa paige saying unbelievable that the 2016 presidential race would come down to clinton versus trump. now the pressure is the mid-year review about hillary clinton's e-mail investigation. another series of texts, you say we text on that phone when we talk about hillary because it can't be traced. those are just a few. >> so what? what does that tell you? i mean, yes, the fact that this investigation was going on in the middle of a presidential campaign, everybody knew that. obviously, they had to resolve it. this idea that fbi agents can't acknowledge what's going on in the real world. i read those text messages and i think so what? >> there's also this new revelation that some six months

after that lisa paige. these are the individuals who have unduly influenced james comey to exonerate hillary clinton. >> you don't write an exoneration before an investigation. if the media had an ounce of honesty, if donald trump had done this they'd really need to the xanax. >> the in classified server in her home was gross information. congress needs to get to the bottom of it. you can't count on mueller to investigate. he has his own political agenda. >> sara, i heard the words, house intelligence community was hand the department of justice. and there's 1.2 million pages of materials hand over by the i.g. to congress. the words i got is "it will shock the conscious and soul of this country." >> unfortunately that is the words i'm hearing as well. we know how extensive this is and some of the questions we need to be asking i think gregg brought up some important points but some questions they want answered, did the fbi know when they went to the fisa court to get a warrant to investigate trump the dnc a

inspector general has uncovered new texas messages between anti-trump fbi officials, peter truck and lisa paige. those messages prompted house and senate committee members to try to establish whether leaders of the russia counter intelligence investigation leaked classified information to the news media. struck and paige will be two of eight witnesses to be brought before the house intelligence committee over the next few weeks to get some answers. it is all about fusion gps and alleged wrongdoing among fbi and justice department top officials. another key witness with ties to fusion gps is obama justice department hold jofer bruce orr who was stripped of another title yesterday, his second demotion or is no longer head of the organized crime drug enforcement task force but he still is getting paid by the justice department. corrupt but nonetheless on the payroll >>> my first guest tonight says peter struck's misconduct amounts to a criminal act. joining us organization that successfully filed a freedom of activation act to release the documents. great to have you here and great continued work

and lisa paige's computer. you may want to turn on devlin there's news going on. paige replies, he just got handed a note and struck said huh he's asking now. and paige says it is funny coming now. minutes after those texts, devlin writes on twitter sources are telling him that e-mails on wiener's computer may not be new and instead were copies of e-mails that the fbi already looked at. we reached to the reporter and he said no comment. shocking. what we have is leaks, so many 50,000 in total. this is only the tip of the iceberg. let's go back to february 25th, 2016. look at this. paige messaging her boyfriend. one more thing, she may be our next president, the last thing you immediate is us going in there loaded for bear, do you think she'll remember or care that it was more doj than fbi. agreed. they're worried about actually investigating clinton because she may end up being mad at them and may want revenge if she wins because they think she's going to win and they're trying to help her. months later, it was comey and strut and other officials, they started wri

peter truck and lisa paige were thought to be lost but the doj inspector general says they were ableo recover them. some republicans believe special counsel robert mueller's investigation into possible russian collusion during the presidential election is biased because both strzok and page worked briefly on the russia probe and many of their texts suggests on anti-trump sentiment. >> -- investigation of what went on at the doj and fbi. >> and the strzok/page texts show in march of 2016 some officials were proposing to name patrick fitzgerald as a possible prosecutor of a clinton e-mail probe. however he was never appointed despite the republicans calling for it. senator grassley says the timing of the text release is disconcerting as this is the attorney general defending his department. >> my purpose every day is to get the department back to its fundamental mission of enforcing the law and protecting the safety of americans with integrity and fairness. >> however, attorney general sessions did note that the department isn't always perfect and he is asking his employees to hear the

agent who talked about needing an insurance policy to prevent the election of donald trump, to lisa paigeas the role of bruce or, one of the researchers working on this dossier for fusion gps. what interaction did the bureau or obama justice department have with christopher steele? how much was he paid? we need answers to all those questions and what was submitted is important, probably the most important question. there are a host of other questions the american people want to know and what it will end up telling us, was this a strong, legitimate investigation from the start? or was the fbi grasping at straws because people like peter strzok were opposed to donald trump? rob: the dossier was used to gain the access, that was the proof they needed to spy on the campaign. back to a vintage donald trump tweet, and old favorite that made some waves, terrible, just found out that obama had my wires trapped in trump tower just before the victory, nothing found, this is mccarthyism, there was no basis to spy on me calling it mccarthyism. when this tweet came out so many members of the media sta

peter strzok and lisa paige, these two officials, high-level officials in the clinton investigation andunk dossier until they were pulled off. now we are finding out that peter strzok text of a colleague and said you and i both know the answer nothing. if i thought it was likely be there in a question. i hesitate because made that says there's no big spare. he's talking about the russia investigation into president trump. he ended up on the investigation that he was art expressing doubt before hand. what you make of that? >> the timing of the text message is critical. it is may 19th, 2 days after special counsel molar was appointed. at that time covering the investigation had been rolling for almost a year. strzok was involved in it. he knew about the investigation. that's why it's important. cheryl: david bruno, appreciate your story. lauren: fascinating. jpmorgan will hire thousands of workers, boost wages, all thanks to the new tax bill. cheryl: tracee carrasco has that another headlines. >> thanks to the sweeping changes at the u.s. tax code also improved economic reform and scummy

without him we wouldn't know about the text messages when peter struck and lisa paige.n the house judiciary committee, i'm proud of our work. we had an interview of andrew mccabe under oath, sworn testimony and within hours of him giving that testimony he announced his retirement. i think one of the reasons may be the inconsistencies of his very testimony. we've got a series of investigations closing in on hillary clinton like a noose. lou: you know, congressman, this has to frustrate you as much as it does any one of us in this country right now, concerned citizens. we have some people running the fbi and the department of justice who frankly look like they're the ones who should be behind bars. and we hear about people retiring suddenly. in the case of mccabe. others are being reassigned. but no one is being told you're fired, you're losing your benefits, taxpayer funded benefits. and by the way, we're also going to send you to jail. this is disgusting conduct. i mean, and by the way, part of my disgust in all of this is that it goes on and on, the investigations wher

cnn now has a copy of this secret society text message the day after the election, fbi lawyer lisa paige says to agent peter stroch, quote, are you even going to give out your calendars? seems kind of depressing. maybe it should just be the first meeting of the secret society. calendars mentioned there were a gag gift that he purchased for employees working on the russia investigation. this is happening as one of the republicans is sounding the loudest alarm over the whole secret society conspiracy is having, shall we call, a change of heart. let's go to our senior washington correspondent up on capitol hill, chasing senator johnson down. what exactly did he tell you? >> reporter: he is almost backbacking off these remarks he made earlier this week when he said on fox news that this text message referring to the secret society was very serious, something he wanted to dig in further into and believe it raised some alarms about what was happening within the fbi. yesterday, he sounded a little bit squishier on this. particularly when he referenced an informantespoke to, who was talking abou

documents and eight key witnesses to include fbi agent peter strzok that sent anti-trump messages and lisa paige, james baker who was reassigned and a new addition to the list, the fbi's head of counter intelligence, bill presept. this group is significant because they were part of what director comey called his inner circle. a house intelligence committee democrat accuses republicans of limiting resources so they can't follow up on credible leads. without getting into specifics, the congressman alleged that he's seen evidence of legal violations. >> do you believe that you heard evidence of crime committed by members of this administration? >> yes. >> do you believe that your republican colleagues understand those to have been crimes, potential crimes? >> i think some folks have decided to bury their heads in the sand. >> in a separate development, a short time ago, two senior republicans released this letter referring former british spy, christopher steele, the person that did the leg work for the trump dossier, referred him to the justice department for criminal investigation. senators grassl

then there are new texts showing that in march 2016, peter strzok and lisa paige talked about the possibilityf a need for a special counsel to investigate the clinton email situation, they even raise the possibility of bringing back patrick fitzgerald. remember, he was a special counsel in the valerie plane case. at one point, saying, don't forget that comey was a deputy attorney general and appointed fitzgerald a special counsel and that he was therefore comey's investigating. strzok texted back... so these are new messages for march 2016. remember we have been told they were more messages from decembe7 that were gonna somehow. government officials told fox today the justice department now got back all of those texts by taking possession of them at least four phones belonging to mueller and page, a development they jumped on today. meanwhile, charles grassley said it appears that strzok and page transported confidential files on their nongovernment phones. they appear to have done the same thing as hillary clinton, in part because of one text exchange, where strzok says to paige, "gmailed tw

of fbi agents, two agents in particular, texts that were of notice to congress, peter stroke and lisa paigerepublicans in congress who say the agents in a personal relationship were texting in a way that proves to what republicans say were biased, that there had been a controversy their texts were missing over a five-month span, other texts also missing over a five-month span. the office of inspector general at the justice department has succeeded in using forensics tools to recover the text messages from fbi devices, the justice department says, including texts between mr. stroke and ms. paige sent and received between december 14th of 2016 and may of 2017. so they have all of the texts and as we discussed earlier, these are caught up in a debate with republicans trying to undermine the credibility of the fbi and other investigations, including the special counsel investigation. >> now we'll see what they are. i think as opposed to speculating and having intense suggestions of impropriety based on a lack of something, now there is something and i guess we will know more. i think that there

the conversations between fbi lawyer lisa paige and fbi agent struck including disparaging comments abouthen candidate donald trump raised questions about political bias within the fbi and special counsel investigations in particular. paige was part of the team, she already left and struck removed in july when the messages were discovered. the missing series of exchanges within a key five month period from december 2016 to may 2017 could significant something nefarious, a conspiracy to hide them, something against the law. president trump called this one of the biggest stories in a long time, claiming on twitter, wow. that alleged conspiracy became a key part of the recent attacks on special counsel mueller and his team. another new attack on the fbi involved one text message exchange in particular, one that was not missing, at first, the public was told there was a reference to the a secret society. republicans sownsounded the ala. listen to republican ron johnson describe this message, not surprisingly, on fox news, on tuesday night. >> more than bias. corruption at the highest levels o

four minutes after that text message, he sends another message to lisa paige where he says an investigationads to impeachment. if that doesn't go to their entire motive, their entire plan, what they had in store and the animus they had for president trump, i don't know what does. peter struck was the key guy in the clinton investigation. interviewed mills, interviewed aberdeen, interviewed clinton. he was the guy who changed the exoneration. liz: that's jim jordan. he's saying the fbi official peter struck who was involved in both the hillary clinton e-mail probe and special counsel robert mueller's russia probe, he has since been demoted from that. and he is the common denominator in the scandal now unfolding at the fbi. let's bring in republican congressman of south carolina ralph norman. what are your thoughts about the way jim jordan just laid it out there? >> well, congressman jordan was who we had our meeting at freedom caucus. we talked about the memo. and a group of us 40, 50 members went down and read it. and i can tell you it's going to be shocking when the american people when it

we have text messages between lisa paige and peter strzok where he says, we need an insurance plan, we need an insurance policy -- >> but congressman, that's a total -- >> those are important facts that you're conveniently leaving out of this presentation! >> i'm not conveniently leaving it out, congressman. and by the way, if james comey thought it was so important, why did he come to new york to brief the president about it? >> to legitimatize it! and then they leaked it right away. the press had the dossier for months. no one reported it. but then when james comey goes and tolds t s ttells president- about the dossier, how convenient -- >> congressman, cnn read your theory -- this is part of your theory that james comey -- >> it's not a theory. it's facts! >> listen! that they leaked it in order to get it out there to delegitimize the president, that's a theory. that's your theory, sir, that the fbi was somehow trying to keep donald trump from being president, which as you and i have discussed, would be a pretty awful plan given the fact that they released the fact they were reopeni

interested in learning more about lisa paige and peter strzok.nvolved in the investigation and were removed from it. this article on the hill suggests that their text messages that had just been released suggest that they may have been leaking stories to different newspapers. that sort of what we see here. she says the article is out, but hidden behind pay walls, so can't read it. he responds, that was fast. should i find it until the team? just going through this initially, but your thoughts as you hear that? >> one of the lines of questioning that we have for the fbi agents is who within the bureau was authorized to talk to the media because i can't speak for the clinton investigation -- we have serious concerns about people with the bureau talking to various media outlets that were authorized to speak on behalf of the bureau. i would love to tell you i'm surprised that someone may have been leaking but i'm not. >> martha: admitted under testimony that he did the exact same thing. >> he wanted the first special counsel for trump when the retta

you have the assistant director of intelligence at the fbi and his paramour, lisa paige, exchanging texthat they can't find 50,000 of those text messages. what is critical here is the fact that the period where they started, december 14, which ended when they came back online, is the same day that robert mueller was appointed as a special counsel. as a lawyer, this looks really damaging that there appears to be rot, as mr jobs from fox says, at the top of the justice jobs from fox says, at the top of thejustice department, jobs from fox says, at the top of the justice department, and we need to get to the bottom of this. we don't know the basis for those allegations, though, because we haven't seen the memo with regards to the investigation. that's right. i anticipate that that will happen in the next two weeks. my friends on capitol hill to me there will be able to release the memo and they we re able to release the memo and they were asked president trump to declassify this memo. it's a four page document that is allegedly explosive about how intelligence had been gathered against mr t

when you have peter struck and lisa paige as we've seen their text messages to each other showing ani-trump bias and a pro hillary clinton bias. when you have those people running investigations, be of course you should be concerned because you're going to get a fair shake by investigators who should be impartial when really they're partisan. so i hope that mueller does this the right way, but we should all be concerned based on the people who are inside helping mueller run the investigation. stuart: understood. sean, i'm sorry to cut it short, but i've got a huge news day in front of me. thank you for joininguses, sir. thank you. >> thank you, stuart,. stuart: the company that makes crock pots. i know it sounds like a strange story to be dealing with. but we're dealing with it. the company is in damage control mode after the hit tv show this is us kills off a major character in a crock pot-related fire. this is a bigger story than you might think. it has financial implications, which we will explain after this building a website in under an hour is easy with gocentral... ...from god

then we learn about the text messages between him and a colleague lisa paige.nts to wow look at what the top people at the fbi were doing, and you look at that one text message where peter struck talks about an insurance policy to make sure donald trump is not the president of the united states. that's scary stuff. and, again, those are the kinds of things we have to get answers to. that's why we talked about the 18 questions we need to get answers to in 2018. stuart: i'm going to wish you a happy new year, jim, is that okay? >> that's great. happy new year to you too, stuart,. stuart: going to be a good one. it really is. jim jordan, good man. see you again. >> take care. stuart: where are we on the stock market this morning? all-time highs for those two dow components. that will be visa and united technologies. second day in a row all-time highs for those two and the market is up what? 44, 45 points. back in a moment . stuart: earlier this hour we talked to republican candidate governorship for california. his name is john cox. we talked to him about the chal

great experience, there would have been people who could have gently nudged people like strok or lisa r. paige and who would have warned hem. those people weren't there because director mueller put in place a policy that ran them ff. still wonder about the victims of they have boston marathon bombing. had we had an f.b.i. director that was as interested in eking out radical islamist killers as it was in having community outreach with the mosque that was started by a man who is now doing 23 years in federal prison for supporting terrorism, if he had not been so interested in playing patty cake out with his community partnership and instead had gone to the mosque and been asking specific questions about the brother after we got two notices he had been radicalized that i e, they never asked a question, in the one, about tsarnaev. not what has he been concentrating on, what's he reading, what's he memorizing, what's he talking about what books has he got? asking those questions, because they didn't know what questions to ask because director mueller had seen to the purging of the f.b.i. training m

lisa page. completely trashing president trump on text messages. they called him a loathsome human being, an idiot and strzok and paige also talked about an insuranceolicy in auntie's office, which we believe is the deputy fbi director andrew mccabe case donald trump won the election, and remember it was strzok and comey, they are the ones that chased the verbiage in the exoneration letter before the investigation was done. none of this is important to the media? it should be. if a special council of robert mueller, his merry team of democratic generous donors, they don't donate to republicans. 50 grand to democrats, including hillary and barack obama. and of course none of them gave to president trump's campaign. one of mueller's lead investigator's wright actually represented clinton and the clinton foundation in 2015. you can't get a bigger conflict of interest. nothing from the media. we have mueller's top prosecutor. the expert andrew wiseman, the professional he is. he let the extremely controversial obstruction of justice case against arthur andersen accounting as part of the enron scandal. he destroyed the company, cost tens of thousands of
