join us tonight, congressman matt gaetz, member of house judiciary and armed services committees. congressman, good to have you with us. your reaction, you watched the hearing unfold before you. i know you had to do the busy work they are, as a member of the committee. but were you not absolutely shocked to watch the former special counsel in his performance? >> that was not the robert mueller i was expecting. and we take ourselves back to the beginning of the week. adam schiff said that robert mueller would be reading life into the mueller report. reality was, he ended up sucking all the life out of the impeachment movement. i think we are the death rattle for impeachment at the conclusion of his testimony before our committees. even before robert mueller testified, more americans thought his investigations was unfair then they were americans that thought the investigation was fair. that is even from a abcnews poll. after i think even more americans than subjected to the bias, the really bizarre choices that robert mueller made to only seem to go after the trump campaign and dimi

. >> matt gaetz was great there. charge mueller had was to investigate interest force in our elections. how can you look at fusion gps and the democrat party getting information from russia and create the dossier that started the investigation that has taken the american politics by storm. this has had a huge impact in our american election. if bob mueller says he can't investigate it, give me a break. i thought matt gaetz did a great job. the democrats won't take the mueller report and the mueller testimony on its face. they will continue the investigation to impeach trump. what you see in congress is two sets of democrats. one who hate president trump and another group who will try to impeach them. they know smart politics is emotional politics. but what's happening is they are being challenged from the left. they are pry married from the left with candidates who say we'll need to impeach donald trump. we need to take him out of office in the primary. now they are saying i am going to lose my seat from the left. i

liz: matt gaetz, the republican had an interesting takeaway. he said paul ma d paul -- paul manafort's personal tax returns were not within your purview. why did you go after him tore tax he vision what he it's outside of your purview. >> i think mueller used that outside my spur view as a way to -- my purview when he didn't want to answer a question. liz: watch matt gaetz say things about how the mueller team was biased. >> when people associated with trump lied, you threw the book at them. when christopher steele lived, nothing. when glenn simpson met with russians, nothing. maybe the reason why was the discrepancies you focused on. >> your time has expired. liz: former fbi director james comey, watch how he characterized the mueller report. >> this is a chance for the american people to learn what he found. it's too bad, published a 450-page report that didn't get the job done, but it didn't. liz: getting the job done meaning getting trump tossed. >> this whole problem originated with jim comey. when jim comey stood up and exonerated hillary

congressman matt gaetz said that precedes my time. but bob mueller didn't have answers to simple questions. i think what came out of this was the american people said this investigation is over. this is done. there is nothing there there to see. and it's time to put that behind us. trish: tell this to nancy pelosi. you heard from her and elijah cummings saying we are just getting started. >> that's the aoc plus 3 talk. there was a part of this conversation back and forth with the independent congressman from vermont and it took mr. mueller 45 seconds to come up with the word collusion which he couldn't come up with. if the democrats think they are going to hang their hats based on the findings in the mueller investigation they are sadly mistaken. not on do they know they don't have the votes in the senate to do that. and it will insure that the democrats lose the house in the 2020 elect. trish: i think you are right. they sent them there to do something and they are not doing anything. remember when hillary clinton wiped her private s

let's bring in congressman matt gaetz, republican member of the house judiciary committee who will also be asking questions and or tomorrow. >> thanks for having me. >> martha: you listen to the congressman there, he's going to be one of the counterparts asking questions. what did you think of his reasoning for wanting to have this process tomorrow? >> for here's what we know, for 22 months president trump was falsely accused by my good friend eric swalwell and others being an agent of the russian government. that was the language they use. i think it was a democrats focus on how the president reacted to that false accusation and i think you'll see republicans focus on why the false accusation was made in the first place. who did we miss trust to get to this point where we spent so many millions and so many months investigating something that wasn't true and i know many of the country are eager to hear when robert mueller came to the conclusion that there would be no chargeable criminal conspiracy with russia and the trump campaign. >> martha: do you think you're going to get a straight

i just called matt gaetz on the judiciary committee.e is one of the people you should watch particularly aggressive. >> isn't he the guy who said the goal tomorrow is to get the president reelect? >> yes. i called him a couple of hours ago, and he said i can't talk. i'm in jim jordan's question preparing questions. >> and jim jordan is another red hot. >> he is another one to watch. they're going ask one of the questions we've told people are going ask is when did you figure out that he wasn't a manchurian candidate hi, wasn't part of a conspiracy. >> right. and the other ones they're going ask absolutely about peter strzok and lisa page. i suspect they're also going to try and press mueller based on what we've been told on how much of the report he personally wrote, and they're going to try to pin a lot of the report on andrew weissmann. >> tell me about him. >> andrew weissmann, the reason they like talking about him is because he was in hillary clinton's victory party in 2016. so he is someone that they like to paint as a democrat. >

jesse: congressman matt gaetz of florida and louie gohmert join me now.t's clear mueller had no control over the investigation. he was asleep at the wheel and it was run by clinton lawyers. donald trump was framed by team clinton on investigated by team clinton and donald trump won and came out on top which just go to show how crooked and ineffectual hillary clinton actually is, congressman gohmert. >> you put it so articulately. people should understand, he didn't have control. but he could have had control if he wanted it. he chose intentionally to let weissmann go wild. and all the other people, strong while he was there, he lit them go -- he let them go wild trying to frame the president for something that didn't happen. that's why it's so offensive after all these years he established clearly there was no conspiracy because collusion is not a legal crime. there is no conspiracy by the trump campaign or anybody in russia. that's why it was such a big deal to me. now you are turning around. he knew he was innocent. that's all he wanted. he wanted justi

inversion, not a lot of attention it is most significant statement, he was under questioning from matt gaetzat possibility that russia gave information to steele, he said that is under investigation now. think about this. we start with an investigation of trump colluding with russia. it has been ruled out, now we're looking at pos littl possibility clinton's opposition researcher colluding with russia. lourussia. >> there are two things going on. one thing in wrong direction. misdirected. now it is directed by a concerted attorney general who wants to get to the truth. bill barr's influence to getting to bottom of unresolved issues is refreshing to american people. lou: you have looked into christopher wray's cover for his old buddy james comey, fired fbi director. where do you think that is headed. >> today, we saw director of national intelligence dan coats leave, he is someone behind the scenes of thwarting president's effort to get transparency on what went wrong in russia case. i think that chris wray is another person, tomorrow i have an column. very important for american public to un

david: joining me, congressman matt gaetz.cy pelosi, the speaker of the house was giving instructions to individual who are here illegally about how to avoid the police. how to avoid arrest. it's extraordinary when the third in line to the presidency is coaching people on how to break the law. >> it's not just nancy pelosi. you continue to seat most of high profile democrats in congress and running for president opposing the interior enforcement of our immigration law. i can't even believe this is a subject of controversy. they are saying people who cross our border illegally and get caught and have a court process, then a judge he they have no right to be here. they have no asylum claim, they have no right to be here. democrats are saying those people should get to stay in the country and it's somewhere between wrong and racist to remove people with a lawful deportation order. if you do not remove people with a deportation order. you are saying anybody that gets here doesn't have to go. the fact that the president is prioriti

congressman matt gaetz of florida has been receiving threatening voice mails, here's one of them. >>you pathetic piece of bloep bleep, you know that i could blee your (bleep) head clean off your shoulders, from over a mile away. watch your back (bleep), you pathetic little piece of (bleep). you got your head so far up trump's (bleep), i could still take it off your shoulders. [laughing] (bleep) you gaetz i'm coming after you. >> tucker: about as clear cut as it could be. those are threats, they're a crime. here's the remarkable part. according to gaetz the fbi identified the person that threatened him. a federal prosecutor has decided not to bring charges. congressman mackey of florida joins us. am i misstating any of that? >> no, i received word late last week that the u.s. attorney's office, where this individual lived, reviewed the information and deemed these messages and i'm quoting directly a nonthreat. it's obviously a crime, a federal crime to make these threats against any federal official this year we're -- not this -- this congress we're on record for 10,000 threats agains

. >> mitch mcconnell and other, matt gaetz, everyone is blaming everyone else. mitch mcconnell just blocked two election security bills. is there anything being done by our congress and the trump administration to shore up our elections? >> some is being done. but it's not a lot that's being done in the eyes of some lawmakers. one of the things that senate leader mcconnell cited was congress and the u.s. government had put aside more money for election security. democrats and others say that amount of money is not enough. you are seeing the department of homeland security, working with the fbi, cia and others and putting out more information to social media companies, to election officials in the states so they are more prepared against the sorts of things they made in 2016. but there is still this concern on both sides of the aisle. that is in sufficient as well. there isn't regulation targeting social media sites for other sorts of election security, regulations put into place. so there is something that is being done. it would be wrong to say the government i

is fox news legal analyst gregg jarrett, ohio congressmann mike turner, and florida congressman matt gaetz. both congressmen will get to question him later this month, because turner being on the intelligence committee, and congressman gaetz on the judiciary committee. so thank you for being here, iud want to start this up by going to gregg jarrett, you have done as good of a job as anybody i've seen documenting and laying out to the conflicts of interest that lots of us from day one were concerned about with director mueller. run through these conflicts in the team that he assembled. >> the most egregious conflict of interest is that mueller was meeting with president trump the day before he took the job as special counsel.l. they were in the oval office. i talked to the president about it when i was in the oval office last week. and so i would ask this question, isn't it true, mr. mueller, the president explained his reasons for firing james comey that day. and the answer i know is "yes," which means that mueller was a witness in his own prosecution case. you cannot be a prosecutor and a

of debate about making companies earn that immunity one of the lawmakers attending, congressman matt gaetz has called for getting rid of it all together some democrats say this summit just partisan politics over twitter, of course, senator mark warner said it shouldn't be about conservative versus liberal, it's about the future versus the path. and it's time washington stepped up to deal with the real challenges this summit will be open to the press, so, guys, you can keep watching here on cnbc or check my twitter feed for updates. back to you. >> that's a good way to follow it thank you, ylan mui. meanwhile, the white house is firing back at a new tech tax in france that hits mostly u.s. companies. kayla tausche has the details. >> the u.s. trade representative is investigating possible retaliation that could include new tariffs against france for a digital service tax that the country's senate approved today despite this threat from the u.s. under the rule in france, companies with under $750 million euros of revenue, they would pay an extra 3% charge that means it would hit companies li

you saw congress members like matt gaetz, devon nunes clearly able to be curve the reality sphere sucheven if mainstream outlets weren't repeating their claims verbatim, they were kind of -- their narrative was swayed by it so they said, oh, that hearing was low energy and didn't move the ball forward on impeachment. that gets echoed in mainstream papers. you see a lot of mainstream journalists i wish we could talk more about substance and it becomes this self-perpetuating prophecy. >> there was a lot of criticism on reporters focusing on the optics of the hearing. do the optics matter? >> i'm glad you brought that up. i understand this critique but at the same time, i have to say like first of all, what is the purpose of a televised hearing if not to elucidate and inform both the members of congress and the public that's watching it. you can do that either by adding new facts and information to the record which mueller said in advance he wasn't going to do or providing a compelling or engaging account or illuminating it in some other way. i don't think there was anything really signif

so does matt gaetz. so does lily go morris and many well-informed others. but sadly, there are a well, more than a few republicans. you need to pay attention and you need to do your job tomorrow and you better study of and if you need somehow, pay close attention but at some of you probably are not well informed on this topic, which frankly is pathetic and if you are a republican that fits into that category, pay attention. if you haven't read the mueller report, that makes you even more pathetic i think there are some of you out there. tomorrow night, my goal -- i don't want to come on the air here at this time tomorrow and tell you, the viewers, the american people, that they blew it. that they had a golden opportunity. so, to literally prevent that from happening, i'm going to try and assist for the american public say, because wise, conspiracy theories, and a hoax have led most of the media coverage but here is my humble advice. always start with the basics. a hannity rule number one, no question should be longer than ten or 11 seconds. move fast. asks

because i think when jim jordan and doug collins and matt gaetz and a few others ask these questions, you investigate these things but not the dirty dossier for much of that was used to really influence the election, and used to spy on the opposition party? >> how did you do the investigation in the first place when your lead agent, peter strzok, did the original investigation and concluded there was no evidence of collusion? he texted to his girlfriend, there's no there there. he did not tell you there is no there there? he told his girlfriend but not you? why, because you don't show up at the office because you are behind an iron curtain? i saw the guy one time. in a year and a half. i heard him speak for an hour and a half one time. i called him "the wizard of oz" because he was behind the curtain. "we are going to take it to bob." bob is in charge, pal. when i was the u.s. attorney, i was in charge, i was in charge of the commission case, i was in charge of the case -- i was in charge, not a bunch of assistance. sure, they helped a lot. but i was not behind some iron curtain or so

top republican allies in congress including representative jim jordan, never seen in a jacket, matt gaetz? >> gates. >> he's the run who threatened cohen's wife and devin nuÑez who's been investigated. no wonder you need the russians. but these are the constant things to the collusion that is well established even though the criminal conspiracy was not. this is from the new york times reporting from their obstruction they beginning of the year. the president cheered on the lawmakers on twitter, in interviews and in private, urging mr. gates, gats, sorry the e is silent. he was hoping for fair treatment from mr. mueller, mr. trump told mr. gates. that did not preclude him from encouraging his allia' scrutinizing. are they running trump? these are the guys though in all seriousness you want to talk about how ruthless republicans can be. they tried to impeach republican deputy attorney rod rosenstein when they were mad at him. so they are not elegant but they are ruthless. >> they are. what they're playing is the game of keep away. so they want to keep away from the president's doorstep ever

and i would just say looking at the piece from matt gaetz, look, these people were dealing with situationsy shouldn't have to deal with because of overcrowding. yes, we know about the overcrowding. it didn't just happen in yuma. it is an issue of accountability and management. it leads to people not having a place to sleep. not having enough blankets. it doesn't lead to sexual assault. and it doesn't lead to retaliation. another story where boys in one cell complained their water tasted like chlorine and their food was not up to par. and they said out of retaliation, they took the boys out of the cell. they removed their mats. the only thing separating them from the hard concrete floor. they had to sleep on that as retaliation. the young boy who shared this account said he did not tell the agents that he needed a clean pair of underwear and he had to stay in dirty underwear for 10 days. >> powerful reporting that you have here on nbcnews.com. i appreciate you coming on the show to talk about it. read more on our dotcom page you see there. ken cuccinelli, acting director of u.s. citizenship

. >> brangham: othe, like florida republican matt gaetz criticized mueller for his unwillingness to investigate role played by ee notorious ele dossier, a series of unproven allegations about don russia, compiled by former british spy christopher steele. >> here's my question: did russians really tell that to christopher steele, or did he make that up and was he lying to the f.b.i? >> let me backup second if i could and say as i said earlier with regard to steele, that's beyond my purview. >> no it is exactly your purview mr. mueller and here's why: only e of two things is possible, right, either steele made this whole thing up and there were never any russians telling him of this vast criminal conspiracy that you didn't find, or, russians lied to steele. >> mueller went before the house intelligence committee for another round this afternoon. >> welcome to the last ga of the russia collusion conspiracy they. >> reporter: in the early days of the russia investigation >> brangham: in the early days of the russia investigati, republicans on this same committee released their own report on russian

who may not have recognized the lawmakers, mary gay scanlon, a freshman, following behind her is matt gaetzrom florida, republican, members of the committee making their way into the room to take their seats to have their turn to ask robert mueller five minutes worth of questions. we understand inside the binders at the seats at each lawmaker is that the mueller reports. we're almost ready for mr. mueller to make his way to the witness table. we have about 10 minutes before we bring you into the room and let you watch what is happening as the committee starts to kick off at 8:30 a.m. eastern time is when they are expected to start. they will go for three hours for the house judiciary committee and then mr. miller will get it -- mr. mueller will get a break and in the same room house intelligence committee members will sit down and get their turn. 22 members will ask questions. don mcgahn arnold with more on today's hearings. more -- withle more on today's hearings. >> this is the day members of the judiciary committee and intelligence committee are getting a lot of attention and is often th

. >> let me -- i'll tell you what, nothing struck me louder today than hearing matt gaetz describe thes frankly in ways that i've heard many democrats describe the conditions of many border facilities. and so now we have universal agreement that these conditions are totally unacceptable. but it still seems to me that it's finger-pointing first. i guess my question is what can we do right now? >> well, thank you for the question. i think right now we have to spend the money that was appropriated last week or a week before, the $4.6 billion in the way that it was intended, namely, to alleviate the situation of overcrowding and improving facilities on the border, and secondly, and very important, beef up the money that's given to hhs so that they can place these children in long-term suitable shelters and get them the heck out of these temporary detention facilities on the border. they have no business being there in the first place. >> in fairness to these border patrol agents are not trained to do child welfare. >> and that's why we've provided them money to hhs to get these children ou
