mccabe cover through immunity would be a mistake. >> mccabe's lawyer said in a quote mccabe is willing to testify but because of the criminal referral he must be afforded suitable legal protection. adding if he were unable to get such a deal, mccabe will have no choice but to invoke his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination. based on the timing this continues to be a very fluid situation. as you know, harris, there is a date on the calendar for monday next week for open public testimony in front of the senate judiciary committee. the lead committee for the inspector general report. but it appears that the date is likely to slip again. >> harris: we have seen delays and the lawmakers i talked with said they want a chance for that report to come out obviously before they would hold that hearing. they have to wait until it happens. >> if i could add one thing. >> harris: sure. >> based on what we know it's a lengthy report. somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 pages. people who sit on the senate judiciary committee feel they need a couple of days to add quitely comb through

mccabe? >> i can't imagine that any of those three are anxiously -- are looking forward with optimism and hopes as to what the inspector general found. refer to about three weeks or other sources to him about those people have jeopardy. mccabe already has shown that he is jeopardy for what he did at the barrow. >> shannon: he is now facing the u.s. attorney is considering whether or not to pursue criminal charges, he's got that. he is now asked for immunity from the senate the senate's yard because they wanted to testify. he said i well but he needs protection because of these potential chargers. here's what judge napolitano had to say. >> it's unheard of for the number took a person on the fbi, saying, you want me to testify, give me immunity. quite frankly, this is not the way you get immunity, by writing a public letter. >> shannon: how unusual is this? habit immunity work? >> it's exceedingly unusual for high-level official like this to seek immunity or plead the fifth. i think for mccabe

mccabe immunity would be a mistake. >> mccabe's lawyer said "mccabe is willing to testify but because of the criminal referral he must be afforded suitable legal protection, adding if you were unable to get such deal, mugabe could have no choice but to invoke his fifth amendment privilege against self-determination." testimony is scheduled for monday before the senate judiciary committee would that has the lead on the inspector general's report that that date could flip. >> shannon: will wait and see. thank you very much. rudy giuliani says the special prosecutor's team is trying to frame the president. giuliani made the comment about robert mueller during an interview in israel. >> a group of 13 highly partisan democrats that make up the mueller team, excluding him, are trying very, very hard to frame him. to get him in trouble when he hasn't done anything wrong. >> shannon: giuliani says the mueller team cannot come to grips with the fact that collusion did not happen. members of the u.s. house can go ahead with their summer vacation plans. the house majority leader says the august

mccabe in the pardons. we will start there. breaking news tonight that jim comey has been interviewed by prosecutors examining they will bring charges against andrew mccabe. they don't see eye to eye on the inspector general's report which found the light four times, two under oath. comey tells a different story. >> the us attorney's office, district of columbia, taking this seriously and they should. the inspector general released a detailed report with extremely damaging findings that could expose mccabe to criminal jeopardy. he made a referral to the us attorney which doesn't guarantee an indictment or charges will be brought but it typically will ensure prosecutors look at the evidence, will interview players and make a decision. the fact they are talking to comey is not surprising. i would be surprised if they didn't. it suggests they are moving ahead with the investigation and it may result in charges for andrew mccabe. >> we are getting memos about mccabe that he was memorializing conversations about things that happened

have interviewed jim comey about andrew mccabe. andrew mccabe i'm sure everyone recalls was sort of the target of this scathing inspector general report, alleging he lied to comey and other investigators. and so we understand that federal prosecutors in d.c. have now interviewed jim comey about his exchanges with mccabe. >> do you know when the interview took place or the kind of -- anything more specific about it? >> we know it took place recently, so the referral, the inspector general made what's called a criminal referral to the d.c. u.s. attorney's office. he had been conducting kind of an internal investigation into andrew mccabe over these lies, came up with some findings, those were released publically, and sometime after that, maybe in the last month or two, rereferred the case to the d.c. u.s. attorney's office. the interview we understand took place recently. i don't have an exact date for you, why it's significant is that it shows that the d.c. u.s. attorney's office is really taking this case seriously. mccabe's camp h

mccabe and the pardons. we'll start there. great to have you with us, tom. breaking news tonight, jim comey has been interviewed by prosecutors who are examining whether or not they will bring charges against andrew mccabe. we know these two don't see eye to eye on the inspector general's report, which found that mccabe had lied four times, at least three of them under oath. comey tells a different story. what does this signal to you? >> the u.s. attorney's office for the district of columbia's taking this very seriously, as they should. the inspector general released a detailed report, it was extremely damaging findings that potentially exposed mccabe to criminal jeopardy. the inspector general made a referral, which does not guarantee an indictment or charges being brought, but it typically will ensure that the prosecutors will look at the evidence, they will interview the relevant players, and to make a decision. the fact that they are talking to comey is not surprising to me. frankly, i would have been surprised if they didn't talk to him because he is a

mccabe attorney responding to that saying, "mr. mccabe is in no position to describ the scope, nature and extent of his testimony. that depends entirely on the questions you and other members of the committee choose to ask him." so a lot of back and forth there. but the threat, jon, is if mccabe does not receive use immunity the senate judiciary committee he may just when he goes up to capitol hill to to them. >> jon: what a development. keep an eye on that, obviously. the president also is coming out against the media in defense of his wife, john? >> john: yeah. there has been speculation about the whereabouts and the status of melaniamp after she went to walter reed medical center for the kidney embolization procedure. she was out of public view for more than two weeks but she di attend a gold star families event with the president on monday. she is accompanying him up fema for his annual hurricane briefing later on this afternoon. the president taking a shot at the news media for what he terms rank tweeting this morning that the

it seems like mccabe is getting ready for himself to be prosecuted. but why do you think that's out there now? >> the times has a history, we know, of leaking things in a certain way before an unfavorable news story is going to come out. i don't think this is any exception. but also keep in mind any story that's really sourced by mccabe or that has to do with a memo written by mccabe, you're not talking about a very credible source according to the latest oig report. i wouldn't worry about it too much. the big thing to keep in mind is that the president has the constitutional authority to fire comey as he had to fire mccabe. absent something extra like paying hush money to somebody or lying to a government investigator, it just similarly is not obstruction. i would ask everybody who comments on the other networks and acts like it is obstruction to read the arthur anderson case where the supreme court in a 9-0 vote talked about what was needed for something to be corrupt. >> laura: ari fleisher, look, this seems to be very conveniently timed. we do hav

just breaking now, fox has obtained, this 36 page lawsuit from andrew mccabe.icial of course at the fbi. what is he saying? he saying that he was unfairly fired. we know that already from march but that he has been wanting to get documentsrom the justice department, from the fbi to explain more about his firing. he was fired in march, remember for leaking information improperly to the media and then more importantly perhaps lying to investigators about it. that's the allegation. so why is he suing now? number one, there have been reports that james comey, his former boss, the top guy of course at the fbi, has been called in to talk to a u.s. attorney in washington because they are considering criminal charges against andrew mccabe about lying to investigators. they are trying to square his stories with james comey's so both mccabe and comey under the microscope but then the other big thing you mentioned i'm here in singapore, white house was obviously focused on all this diplomacy with north korea that they were all so i can tell you from talking to senior offi

chuck, how much hot water is andrew mccabe? >> potentially quite a bit, but i think context is important here spot inspectors general exist throughout the government. >> sure. every agency, every bran zblch eve -- branch. >> every agency has one. they make a referral. the u.s. attorney that receives it, in this case the district of columbia, has to review it. it's not by reading the report, it's by talking to the witnesses that the inspector general spoke to and comey would be one of those witnesses. >> is that interview a signal to you regarding any kind of conclusion they've been reaching or it's part of the due process? >> i think it's part of the due diligence. i think it's something that they have to do. i'm sure that mr. comey and mccabe would prefer this whole thing never happened. we don't know what actually transpired between them. we know what the ig thing. but i think any u.s. attorney receiving the report would wanted to talk to the witnesses and jim comey would be an important one. >> anything having do with andrew

andy mccabe. deputy director andrew mccabe. and the most important question was what senator graham asked. was mckaib in that meeting. strzok and page need to be intruped and andrew mccabe needs to be interviewed again. if he was in that meeting, this is the most frightening example of f.b.i. power since edgar hoover and americans should be terrified because they were rigging an election. >> sean: that's why it is the biggest abuse ever. and the similarities in terms of mueller investigation and hillary rigged investigation are eerie greg jarret. you have all of the same people that have been exposed here and jenny wray and andrew wiseman. and it is the same corruption that will be exposed down the line in robert mueller's witch hunt, it is no different. >> it sort of makes you wonder if the only people who work in the f.b.i. peter strzok and lisa page and andrew mccabe. and james comey. and yet, why did they do that? they wanted to control it and it was controlled by the obama white house. that is clear. and mueller assembled

we heard from comey, very disappointed in what mccabe did, there is no love between mccabe and comey. we are going to see greater ruptures between the two as those two allies do this. >> not like we also around with popcorn waiting for the inspector general report normally but we will have you back, you know we are getting into it so thank you very much, the historic summit with north korean leader kim jong un and donald trump just days away. fox news it might will have extended coverage monday night so we will be here extra hours for you but as the us prepares to take the lead and diplomacy towards denuclearize in the korean peninsula, some otherworldliness maybe trying to influence the results of the summit kristin fisher is tracking that, and new developments in iran raising alarm at the state department. >> iran is threatening to do exactly what many people feared it would do in the aftermath of the us pulling out of the year and deal, restarting uranium enrichment and ignoring un nuclear inspectors. first the supreme leader said the country would start producing centrifugees use

mccabe was there or not. >> did you ask mr. mccabe. >> we did. he did not recall. >> one of them is lying. so i want you to reopen this investigation. >> now peter strzok says he'll testify in front of the house judiciary committee. he was subpoenaed today. the democrats today in this senate panel pointed to page 283. that's where the inspector general said that there was no political bias or other types of bias when the prosecutor decided not to prosecute or not to charge hillary clinton for her e-mail server. now senator richard blumenthal says he's concerned at how the president is using this report. >> he is distorting this report. he is weaponizing it to discredit the special counsel and to really undermine the rule of law in the united states of america. and he's using your report to do it. >> now the bottom line is there are five more officers or employees at the fbi who are identified in the inspector general's report who will be turned over for discipline because they had bias text messages or other messages. fbi director christopher wra

>> deputy director mccabe was aware on september 28, the next day. and was notified on multiple ways on multiple occasions, as well on september 29. there was follow-up about that by strzok and others. in between september 29 and october 24 or 25, there was no activity by the midyear team or fbi headquarters. it was only re-instigated on october 21 when the new york field office went to the southern district of new york and said no one is doing anything about this. >> nearly a month. thank you, mr. horowitz. >> to clarify, it's unclear exactly what and when director comey knew, because there is testimony from director mccabe, deputy director mccabe, that he briefed him on it somewhere in late september, early october. but he also referred to it as a flyby briefing. i think in an area like this, you need to be careful. i am guessing director wray could testify when you're managing 37,000 people it's unclear whether to hold someone accountable in that position if they only got a flyby briefing. >> i think you folks can be out of here in 5 minutes. i wo

director andrew mccabe could face criminal charges. the "washington post" reporting federal investigators recently interviewed former f.b.i. director james comey as part of a probe into whether mccabe lied to investigators reviewing the f.b.i.'s probe of hillary clinton's email server. i'm joined by the "wall street journal" board member and fox news contributor. it is very interesting that james comey was interviewed. part of the probe and questioning of comey was to determine whether andrew mccabe, his former deputy, had committed a crime by lying to federal agents. so is mccabe about to be charged criminally? >> we don't know. i think people should be very reassured that comey has been interviewed, that prosecutors are being so thorough in going through this. because look, julie, a lot of americans, they worry that there has been two standards of justice in the country. andrew mccabe has very much tried to make this sound as though this is his critics trying to undermine him, the mueller probe, in fact what this is is trying to hold

mccabe cover through immunity would be a mistake. lou: clear the air and clear the corruption. >>> president trump today called out the ignorant and the vile, the vile national left-wing media in particular, for their vicious attacks on the first lady as she was recovering from her surgery. fake news and the nasty little kree tants who take it up >>> our top story tonight, paul ryan sold out a long time ago and he's made it clear who owns him throughout his speakership. the lame duck isn't anything much of a rhino and establishment. today ryan undercutting the president and changing the subject from the republican party strong pry primary performance to his own disloyalty. in less than six minutes at today's house leadership briefing, rhino ryan managed to defend the fectless trey gowdy, denying the evidence of spy geat and through ak necessity for illegal immigrants that could well destroy the gop in the midterms. here he is. >> i think chairman gowdy's initial assessment is accurate. i think -- but we have some more digging to do.

mccabe can be used against him in any criminal case.mittee is unwilling to obtain such an order mcmccabe will have to plead the fifth. >> if you're michael bromwich you're more concerned about the vulnerability of your client to criminal prosecution than a bad p.r. day by taking the fifth. >> sandra: interesting stuff. i have to move on to the iran story. it seems to be gaining steam in this idea we've learned the obama administration green lighted iranian access to the u.s. financial system. >> it's an extraordinary story. it's another one of these stories not entirely surprising because we've seen the pattern of behavior from the obama administration but the obama administration had testified both before and after this granting of temporary access to the iranians to the u.s. financial system that they wouldn't do this. this was a problem republicans raised again and again saying give us assurances you won't do this and one obama administration after another testified and gave answers in interviews, what have you, saying we won't do th

mccabe was viewed by the inspector general, i don't know. but i don't like that the president did that either. >> harris: wow. that's an interesting place you just went. because i would have guessed that the facts prove that what's tricky about andrew mccabe is that he lied to investigators and that's a crime. >> can't lie -- you can't lie, you know, harris. and if that's what he did, you know, then charges would be brought by the district where it was referred. i will tell you, i found him to be credible. i think the president's involvement has muddied this up. and that's why presidents traditionally put a big tall wall between themselves and what their investigators are doing at the department of justice. >> harris: you said 8 hours and i remember that with the hearing that was going on. 8 hours with andrew mccabe. did you ask him at all about why he lied? >> well, no. we focused on the russia investigation. we didn't go into, you know, the hillary clinton email stuff because that wasn't relevant to us. i know a lot of people think ise rus

the government -- the inspector general is recommending prosecution for mccabe lying. let's hear what he says and not do what the fbi and the department of justice did and hand out immunity. they handed out immunity and got nothing for. it i think grassley should play with them a little bit. >> laura: i want to play something before we go. april of this year. comey on with george stephanopoulos. it asks about the chain of command and sending that letter right before the election. it's a full screen. i'm sorry. he was asked if asked you would you have sent the letter?

mccabe the former fbi director asked for congressional immunity for further testimony. the doj general report found that comey was insubordinate and criticized his handling of the clinton email investigation and the report casts doubts on loretta lynch in that same investigation and her tarmac meeting with bill clinton. let's discuss this with a former secret serve agent and a president of judicial watch and jeff who served in the fbi and the cia. let's start with you, tom, it's something to hear that litany of sound bites with the grand exaggeration. it's like bombing london. come on! what we have seen in the general that was report, the little dribs, an fbi mishandled this investigation and didn't consult with superiors and defied protocol. >> president trump inherited a terribly corrupt leadership at the fbi and cleaned house by firing comey. the ig report confirms that he did the right thing. they came to the same conclusion with mr. comeys handling of the e mail investigation about the clinton email investigation. not the sham investigation itself, but he attacked

giving mccabe immunity would be a mistake. we need to see this to and follow the factsyo. er: there could be some searges there we'llave to kennedy: edward, thank you so much. what does the inspector general's report means? will they all turn on each on ther? it appears they have been in order to protect their own necks. let me bring -- bng in andy biggs. comey says he values the chain of command, but he stepped outside of it on more than one occasi what do you think it consequences will be? >> we all s he's t narcis we always thought he was. but we need to see the i.g. report. if there was criminal conduct associated with that insubordination which i suspect there may be, then we should get the attorney general's offe prosecuting the case. i suspect he was misusing his position to let hillary clinton dona trump which we know heem on did. he admitted this. we see contradictions that should lead to conviction. kennedy: i know he probably thinks it's a bang-up idea to write a book because he wants to tell the world his special story. he says he's fallen i love with his own i

people haven't focused on that. >> julie: it's been proven that mccabe lied. that is criminal. it's against the law to lie to the fbi. there's a very good chance he will be turning over names in order to strike a plea deal. otherwise, he could be charged with criminal activity. more than a year, horowitz has been reviewing the fbi and the doj's actions related to its investigation into clinton's use of a private e-mail server. who do you think is most on edge about his findings? name some names that you think mccabe might name. >> first of all, i think one of the big points you're pointing to here is what did barack obama know and when did he know it. i think we will glean a little bit from this inspector general's report about the politicization of the department of justice under the obama white house. who inside the white house maybe having directed certain elements. i think barack obama, president chief of staff, mcdonough and other senior staffers at the white house and what their interaction was with mccabe, with comey and others in the months leading up to the election. >

andy mccabe. it would be deputy director andrew mccabe. the most important question was the one that senator graham asked. it was andrew mccabe in that meeting with peter strzok and lisa page? and we need to know that from strzok and page. those two need to be interviewed. and then andrew mccabe needs to be interviewed again. these are that's the case, if he was in that meeting, this is the most frightening, frightening example of fbi power since j. edgar hoover. americans should be terrified of it. they were rigging an election. >> sean: and that's the whole point here. that's why it's the biggest abuse of power, option scandal ever. the similarities in terms of the mueller investigation and the hillary rigged investigation are eerie in this way, gregg jarrett. in as much as you have all of these same people that have been exposed here, and then you look at jeannie ray and andrew weissmann and all the democratic donors. it is the same corruption that will only be exposed down the line, although we've known for a long time, in robert mille

that's the process. >> how can we charged fled and not charge a mccabe?rles: we know there was so much animosity against our donald trump's a candidate we know that their e-mails and other things. could this blow this open even further? could he become someone who cooperates and maybe helped -- work at this go? he could become a pawn. >> you are right. they always have an incentive to cooperate. let's not forget the lisa page text message that talks about a meeting in auntie's office. he has denied that. he is denied the insurance policy but can you imagine if these charge in his value all information in that investigation? charles: as they say the plot thickens. appreciate it. great to have you back. a top pentagon officials issuing a warning as tensions flare in the western pacific. we are talking about man-made chinese islands that are now militarized. we will be right back. today, we're renewing our commitment to you. fixing what went wrong. and ending product sales goals for branch bankers. so we can focus on your satisfaction. it's a new day at well

horowitz: andy mccabe, the deputy director. sen. graham: you have the lead investigator meeting with the deputy director, and ms. page meeting in andy's office discussing taking out an insurance policy to make sure donald trump does not become president? is that what you are telling us? speak toz: i cannot whether mr. mccabe was there or not. sen. graham: did you ask him? mr. horowitz: he said he did not recall. >> one of them is lying. i want you to reopen these investigation and come back and tell us to you believe strzok or mccabe? ig horowtz: to be clear, they are talking about a conversation in his office. he is stating he does not recall whether he was there or not. neither of those individuals are putting him in their conversation. >> all i'm saying is the office where this occurred, he was not there. does strzok say he was there? ig horowtz: strzok says he was there. >> we will figure that out. none of this is normal. let's look at the interview itself. how many people were involved in the clinton interview? orhorowtz: there

mccabe cover through immunity would be a mistake. >> mccabe's lawyer said that mccabe is willing to testify but he has to have suitable legal protection. if he can't get a deal, mccabe will have to invoke his fifth amendment privilege. there's a date on the calendar for testimony this coming monday before the senate judiciary committee, which is the lead committee on this report. we're told based on the latest information, it's likely to slide again, shep. >> shepard: thanks, catherine herridge. no short, no problem says vladimir putin. he defended the kremlin for releasing pictures of him without a shirt. he says he feels no need to behind behind the bushes. he says he's half naked and not totally naked. put tin was responding to a austrian reporter that asked acted the photos. putin makes headlines for more serious topics like claims that he murders journalists and political opponents. if biggest round of primaries yet ahead of the med terms has just happened. it was the super tuesday of mid-terms, if you will. and the results are coming in. not every result but the big picture here could

fbi agent andy mccabe.j has been very resistant in providing the documents that would let us know how and why this started. what it looks like the official start of the investigation, july 31st was not really the start. brian: we're going to get a lot more information. the ig report. the draft of which was given to the department of justice and fbi in mid may. and we're supposed to get it yesterday. here michael horowitz, who authored it, took a year to investigate. yesterday now that's a delayed first to the 11th. two weeks from now. steve: april 18th and 19th. brian: justifiable, including the president somebody is watering down and redacting again which means we will not get to the bottom of it i wish robert mueller was more curious about what peter strzok was doing, and lisa page and mccabe as well as james comey as is he about the trump tower meeting reportedly. i think it all face together. especially, steve, as you mentioned. peter strzok headed up both the email investigation as well as the -- as we

>> mccabe is in legal jeopardy.the criminal referral was made against him, you said he will sing like a bird immunity. that's now under way. that puts james comey in the hot seat hear a variety of things. we know hesu power of the attorney general. congress believes on 4 occasions he gave them false and misleading statements. if he cleared hillary clinton for political reasons and ignored evidence that could be obstruction of justice. when he stole government documents and leaked them to the media, that's all a crime. >> sean: let me put up your book cover again. this book is coming out in july. here's the important part of this book, everything that you have researched,not tz gets it right. you have it right. i had the accomplish of watching you write it. you shared the book with me. portions of it. you have the documents and we have fbi agents that will be the heroes in this story by telling the truth about the leadership. this was never rank and file. this was always the upper tier. you ha theove. -- proof. >> i

they deserve more consideration than comey and mccabe. kennedy: thank you so much, corey lewandowski. so the report find former fbi director james comey went outside the chain of command in the months, weeks and days before the election. he broke fbi norms when he broke protocol. that's usually the job of the department of justice to decide whether to make charges. did democrats have a case that comey sank the s.s. hillary? lawrence jones is back along with democratic strategist, and ned ryun. it's been problematic for james comey. the conflicting testimony he has given on his book tour and before this congress. both these things cannot be true or false in the same way at the same time. i want to talk to you about that chain of command. he says he adhere to the chain of command but he broke with that because he thought loretta lynch was so compromised he could no longer follow orders. and if that were the case he should have gone to the president. if the president was compromised, you have politicized. weaponized system of law enforcement

mccabe is a good example of that.be is not indicted, we know to know why. >> i'm starting to notice a standard here, where government officials get to lie, james clapper clearly lied, when he said there was no spying by the in sa, still on cable television, on twitter, selling a book. prominent interior designer, posing no threat to anyone, martha stewart, goes to federal prison. am i imagining this, or is there a double standard, and a troubling one? >> that's the trouble in washington, where we have an animal farm, where some people are equal, and some more equal than others. it goes long back, before the obama administration, to get justice officials, or high ranking officials, indicted or held accountable. they often get very light treatment. clapper is an example of that. when he was confronted with the fact that he had given false testimony, he said, well, that was the least untruthful thing i could have said. most people call that a lie, untruthful, you were in front of congress. a normal person wouldn't have t

andrew mccabe is now requesting immunity from the u.s. senate in exchange against his former boss james comey. the full report should have been released by now. frankly, if it's released between now and next wednesday -- the summit on tuesday of next week -- that mean they are trying to bury this on a summer weekend so it doesn't get the coverage it normally would. if they will release it early next week they are trying to bury it during the singapore summit. what you deserve is justice in the form of criminal referrals for everybody we just mentioned. 18 long months and mr obstruction himself of congress, rob rosenstein, he's had this report for 2 weeks already. i can only imagine what he is trying to get changed or redacted. catherine has a new report. remember peter strzok demoted after his anti-trump texts were available. catherine reports he was the lead investigator in the clinton case. he hated trump and wanted the insurance policy. he moved on to the russia collusion case and put on mueller's witch hunt team. this trump hating fbi

mccabe says, you told me it was okay to leave and comey said it, no i didn't.already gotten a lot through professional responses. >> apparently we have read that he committed perjury were lied to federal agents in the course of inv. that would be for civilians a felony. in that case will he be charged >> we don't know, there has been a criminal referral to look into this and by the way, has now been reported that mccabe was invited to testify at this judiciary community and he has asked for immunity in exchange for his testimony. if he doesn't get it, he would have to take the fifth amendment. so you are unlikely to see and say anything. clearly, he is concerned about criminal exposure from whatever is in this report. >> tucker: 500 pages. >> it a long way to. >> thank you. the philadelphia eagles were set to visit the white house, and that was canceled of course over the national anthem. what does that tell us about america and what this country wants? plus, pamela anderson comes on to discuss her concerns about her friend julian massage, turns out she's also

let's start with the mccabe story. his attorney says this. by failing to proactively and publicly disclose documents at issue, and by failing to otherwise fulfill their statutory obligations. he is saying i can't defend my client unless you turn over these documents and you have a duty to do it. >> seems like a bit of a stretch. we'll see with the legal arguments are but my senses if there comes a point in time where mr. mccabe needs these documents to defend himself, i am confident that the situation with the judge might tell the department of justice you have to give this man the documents he needs to defend himself. at this point, i'm not clear why he thinks he has the legal entitlement to it. just because he's interested or his lawyers are interested doesn't give him a legal right to get them. >> shannon: another fight between the doj, the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, and members of the house g.o.p., the intelligence commi staffers. we've had access to emails where they said they felt threatened. here is a little bit of what we

and why andrew mccabe took so long to recuse himself. and a related contribution.ast thing that we heard most about which is mccabe versus comey, you told me it was a leak, he said no i didn't. we may not get a lot more on that. >> there is some resolution to the mccabe question, he lied to federal agents and investigation to himself, that would be for civilians felony. is that a felony in his case it will he be charged? >> there has been a criminal referral to look into this and by the way, it has been reported mccabe was invited to testify at this judiciary hearing and he has asked fory in exchge for his testimony, to taifth the. unlikely to see him say anything to them but clearly he is concerned about criminal exposure. leland: 500 pages. >> it is a long read. tucker: byron york, a proud source of information, thank you. philadelphia eagles such to visit the white house, that was cancelver the national anthem. tell us about america and what this country wants. pamela anderson discusses her concerns about julian astonish and is friends with vladimir putin. amazi

former fbi director andrew mccabe is offering commitment. former attorney general loretta lynch to testify when the ig report on the hillary clinton email investigation is finally released. and catherine heritage is reporting this. the fbi espionage chief has been very cooperative with congressional investigators. the source says that struck play larger role than we thoughtally in the clinton email probe and the russian investigation. let's discuss all of this now with congressman ron desantis, democratic strategist richard goodstein and a former deputy assistant attorney general robert driscoll. gentlemen, it's great to see all of you. where e begin, let's start with this immunity plea for mccabe. every time you hear someone connected with trump who might want immunity, it's like, oh, my gosh, you want immunity, you must be guilty. what's going on here? james comey stood tall and was a model leader and now he wants immunity because he knows he's jeopardy with his conduct over this investigation, both the clinton and the trump investigation.

horowitz: indie mccabe, the deputy director. you have the lead investigator in the clinton taking outtigation, an insurance policy, making donald trump does not become president? horowitz: i cannot speak to whether he was there or not. -- wray: did you ask him sen. graham: did you ask and go -- did you ask him? mr. horowitz: he said he did not recall. the deputy: you said director of the fbi is not the andy. says he does he not recall whether he was there or not and neither are those individuals are putting him in the middle of the conversation. sen. graham: he wasn't there. someone is lying. we will figure that out, later. let's look at the actual interview itself. were involved in the clinton interview on july the second? six or eight people present. two agents conducting the interview. senator graham: this was the mail sent in 2016. -- an email send in 2016. a conversation between our two prosecutors, she might be our next president. how did you feel? mr. horowitz: we were concerned. sen. graham: one of the fbi agents said in
