andrew mccabe said they knew he didn't have any russian contacts. they predicated information against a man that they knew he had no evidence of conduct, that's how bad the fbi's conduct is. >> sean: if you were to award crimes to fbi deep state actors, who would be on the list? >> it's a long list, but the three people who were surely at the top of the investigative microscope would be james comey, andrew mccabe, and peter strzok. i think there are three distinct areas that the u.s. attorney john durham and william barr are looking at, that would be lying to the fisa court, the flynn case to be sure and the overall collusion investigation, how it was handled by the fbi and federal prosecutors. i think we need to be reminded of what william barr said to. this was an investigation launched by the fbi without a legal basis and later used it to sabotage presidency. the following federal criminal statutes would be in play. obstruction of justice, perjury, fraud, conspiracy to commit fraud and deprivation of rights under color of law, otherwise known as

in other words, comey comey disreputable right-hand man mccabe, you don't need a lawyer.lie too. it was all set up. and comey sent them in. idiotic, pompous that he bragged about, he bragged about the whole trick on camera. think about this. does this sound like a guy that has a higher loyalty to truth, honor, law enforcement, the constitution of the united states? because to me, he is the dirty cop that joe digenova warned us about. >> you look at the white house now and start to imagine to go fbi agents. how does that happen? >> i sent them. [laughter] something that i probably wouldn't have done or gotten away with in a more organized investigation, more organized administration. in the george w bush or the obama administration. both of those administrations there was process. so the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the white house counsel and there would be discussions, approvals and it would be there. i thought it is early enough, let's just send a couple of guys over. >> sean: you think that

by the way, he called the deputy fbi director mccabe and mccabe, he advised general flynn that he did not need a lawyer present. he knew better. they significantly altered his original 302 and we now as of late last week have that evidence. then they turned the screws on general flynn. they threaten him with years behind bars and threaten to lock up his son, legal bills force this guy at one point to go bankrupt. he lost his family home all over a simple process that they concluded never took place. and yet, by the way, president obama is still out for blood. now the interesting thing is, both susan rice and samantha powers said oh, yeah, they were speaking with counterparts before they enter the obama white house, the very thing they were complaining general flynn data. a yahoo tape, very sanctimonious self-righteous, angry barack obama was downright apoplectic that flynn will likely be spending years behind bars as a convicted felon. we will explain the hypocrisy and double standard in a second but first, listen to this. >> the fact that there is no trouble that anybody can find for

even anteroom mccabe admitted, no dossier, no warrant.y said it wasn't true, it's in his testimony. february 2018,8, authoring a meo claiming there's absolutely no fisa abuse whatsoever despite congressman devin nunes who told the country the truth. schiff lied, nunes told the truth. he was telling all of us the truth. this guy was telling us lies even when he had testimony that was telling him they were lies. the doj inspector general, he was telling the truth. the steele dossier was russian disinformation all along. schiff wide, the socialist democrats. they helped him lie, and the mob and the media acted as p.r. staff. this is a revolting but clear and present danger. and that remains to the constitutional republic thest re of law. equal justice under the law, equal application of the laws. they must be held accountable. the dossier's contents were not verified. he knew that he was lying. they t told him it's not true. it is a disgusting despicable revolting live by the biggest liar we have ever witnessed. even christopher steele himse

we spent a long time with andy mccabe. the dossier not only was not verified, they had not even begun to verify it. it was after it was used, granted they used it in court proceeding, but they had not even taken the first step towards trying to verify that. listening to your monologue, it wasn't just that we ask to susan rice and samantha power and ben rhodes and sally yates, we didn't just say give us all the evidence of collusion coordination and conspiracy. i asked every one of them even if it's hearsay, even if it's something you heard that you didn't believe, even if it's inadmissible in court, tell me everything you've ever heard about trump, his campaign, or even the groupies in the hangers on in his campaign. there was nothing. my expectations of adam schiff are very low. he still doesn't meet them but they are very low. my expectations of the media was a little bit higher, and they aided and abetted him for the entire year we conducted this investigation. >> sean: they nearly succeeded, trey gowdy. this is an atte

andrew mccabe, when asked about the most damming piece of evidence, "we have not been able to prove the accuracy of all of the information. you don't know if it's true or not. that's correct i don't know if it's true." all of these testimonies behind closed doors with congressman ratcliffe, congressman trey gowdy, yourself and all the while while these transcript s were happening and these meetings were taking place they would leave the closed door session, go on tv, and say something completely different. how many times did we hear former cia director brennan, john brennan go on msnbc and say president trump committed treason? where is the accountability for all of this , congressman? >> well look, what you see is behind closed doors, they weren't as tough as what they were out on the cable news networks where they're getting paid to pontificate. in fact, they were quite weak and pathetic and really cowered down because that was their opportunity to get on the record what evidence did they have, and you see when they're on the chopping block and they can be busted for lying or misleadi

mccabe, mr. strzok, ms. all the others have really hurt the premier law enforcement agency in all of human history. i mean, if you're, if you're an american and an fbi agent knocks on your door, your first concern shouldn't be, well, you know, i'm a democrat. i wonder if the agent is a democrat or republican. you know? it's not supposed to be about politics. elizabeth: yeah. >> and it was. and we've got a lot of work to do -- elizabeth: senator -- >> -- to get, to clean it up. elizabeth: do you think president obama was more involved than we realized? >> don't know, hope not. don't know. i'm -- i don't believe -- i'd have to see it to believe it. don't want to believe it. elizabeth: he knew that, he knew the details of, he knew the details of michael flynn's conversation with the russian ambassador, and that surprised some of his officials, that he knew the details of that wiretap. >> i just don't want to believe it, and i'll have to see direct ed of it. evidence of it. i think the people that -- i think com

it was resurrected by peter strzok at the behest of comey and mccabe.o i think you're going to find out that the obama white house had their fingerprints all over the russia hoax. >> raymond: we shall see and we will be in touch with both of you. for years, thank you for your work on the story detailing what happened. have a great night. thank you. coming up, joe biden and his terrible, horrible, very no good bad day. plus, friday follies with a special guest, next. >> raymond: it's friday, which means it's time for friday follies. a town hall truly for the birds, frankly all wit. joining me now to hash out all the details, our surprise guest, rachel duffy, thanks for joining me for the frolics here. by now we've come to the conclusion that joe biden's virtual town halls are not working. every moment produces a moment that goes viral and yesterday was no exception. this man never seems to know where he is or what's going on. >> is this on? thank you so much for tuning in. i wish we could've done this together, would've gone a little bit more smoothly, b

james comey and andrew mccabe contradict him.march of 2017 clapper did brief obama on the calls. he said this, quote: in the first week of january he, clapper, briefed the president and vice president and then president obama's senior team about what we found and a what we had seen to help them understand why russians were reacting the way they did. in his book mccabe shared comey's recollection on the flynn-kislyak phone calls. he said this: an analyst shared it with me, i shared it with comey, comey shared it with the director of national intelligence, james clapper. clapper verbally briefed it to president obama. wow. joining us now, james kallstrom, former assistant director of the fbi. he served nearly 30 years with the bureau, and, jim, it's great to see you. let's start with who do you believe in that triangle? >> i don't believe any of 'em, they're all full -- [bleep] lou, we've been talking about this for almost three years, right? along with the members of congress and the few people that have the right story here. just

it was resurrected by peter strzok at the behest of comey and mccabe.think you're going to find out that the obama white house had their fingerprints all over the russia hoax. >> raymond: we shall see and we will be in touch with both of you. for years, thank you for your work on the story detailing what happened. have a great night. thank you. coming up, joe biden and his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. plus, friday follies with a special guest, next. when we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. >> raymond: it's friday, which means it's time for friday follies. a town hall

andrew mccabe had a real vendetta against flynn because of the sexual-harassment against mccabe. never heard that and that should be given a careful vetting. that's important what you just said. so what kind of crimes were they trying to get you to implicat implicate -- >> let me give you an example. they kept trump must to give you marching orders to cut a deal. that was a lie of their questioning. there was one point where they looked at the records, a member i am no files in front of me, just cherry picked what they wanted to show me and whatnot. they're saying, there's a 90 minute. when you're in mar-a-lago where you didn't text, you do not e-mail, you do not make phone calls, is that when president trump told you what to say to flynn that a russian ambassador. then i remember me my husband took a long whit walk on the be. they had a narrative and i was not going to get to them neither was trump. it would've been all lies. throw the book at them i hope. liz: maybe john durham will do that. thank you so much, quite a story, come back soon. we hope you have a good week improve

>> we can lay it at the feet of i believe of james comey and andrew mccabe and peter strzok because of the text messages that are disclosed now. there will be more evidence coming. we've still a lot more that they have said they're going to disclose to us. elizabeth: all right. sydney powell, thank you so much. you will be back later with us in the show to talk more about this cares and about the emails between peter strzok and lisa page, debating when to tell flynn about his rights on self-incriminating statements in the fbi interview. a lot more show is coming up. indiana republican senator mike braun on the battle to reopen. first-responders are working, hospital workers are hard at work, grocery stores are fiving to get food on the shelves there. the senate is reopening. 20 states are moving to reopen this week. the debate. how can the house of representatives still is not reopening? reopening? that debate is coming up next. motor? nope. not motor? it's pronounced "motaur." for those who were born to ride, there's progressive. for those who were born to ride, ♪ hold on ♪ don't figh

told mccabe and then mccabe transmitted that information.e is no unmasking in that period of time. so it is very curious to say the least. >> tucker: so you were in the justice department. explain to us nonlawyers, would it be legal for the cia to spy on american citizens and then leak what they found two other agencies in the media? >> the short answer is no. there are constitutional tenets here at play. this happened while mr. flynn was out of the country and we don't specifically know where the investor of russia was located appeared it may have been in d.c. or russia so maybe have been under a different program were friendly third country. but the biggest concern is exactly what you pointed out which is this constitutional, violates the fourth amendment, violates all sorts of policies and procedures, but nonetheless january 30, mccabe had the transcript of this verbatim call. >> tucker: no elected leader can run a country in which the biggest law enforcement and agencies operate independently in violation of the constitution, democracy d

a war hero was struck down while mccabe, comey and strzok walked freely.nowingly providing false information to a court. tampering with records. susan rice should be charged with lying as well as unmasking. the fbi was created to protect us, to gather evidence against the guilty. to exonerate and close files regarding the innocent. not to falsely implicate them for the fbi's own political vendettas. so what now? the fbi needs a complete overhaul. the man brought in to run it is as deep in the swamp as you can get. christopher wray knew all that was going on. he was like mueller, comey, rosenstein, the whole lot of them, part of the swamp. not surprisingly, christopher wray was andrew weissmann's supervisor. wray has resisted congressional requests and congressional oversight. he kept mccabe and strzok on. he knew they saw these nodes and did nothing. christopher wray is an establishment cover. we have lost faith in the fine and they cannot be reef gained until christopher wray is gone. there is no way to make up for the damage inflicted on this war hero. i

, fbi andrew mccabe, of sexual harassment.his woman. -- endorsed this woman, he supported her claim, and i don't know what ever happened to it, maybe it disappeared, but andrew mccabe had a real vendetta against flynn personally because of this sexual harassment allegation against mccabe. elizabeth: well, we've never heard that, and that should be given a careful vetting. that's important, what you just said. so, you know, what kind of crimes were they trying to get you g to impretty candidate president -- then-candidate trump the. >> okay. let me give you an example. they kept saying, well, trump must have given you marching orders to tell flynn to tell the russian ambassador to cut a deal. there was one pointat where they looked at the records -- remember, i have no files in front of me, just cherry picked what they wanted to show me. so they're saying, well, there's a 90 minute period when you're in mar-a-lago with president trump where you didn't text, you didn't e-mail, you didn't make phone calls. is that when president

in setting up and framing michael flynn for a crime he didn't commit, is this an andrew mccabe operation, james comey's right-hand man, both their fingerprints are all over this. >> when you go back and look at what happened in late 2015 and all through 2016, and you said it in your opening, this started as a dirty campaign operation run by the clinton campaign. at some point they got dirty operatives involved including the dirty cops. remember those cops are involved, so much impossible to believe it didn't reach the highest levels of the department of justice when they open crossfire hurricane but what still left out there greg, and i think this is one of the unknowns that's very important, we know this investigation did not begin on july 30, 2016. this was, the question is at what time did the clinton operation merged with the dirty cops. that's really at what's left out there for the u.s. attorney out of connecticut to figure out anything is what the u.s. people want to know. so they say hey, flynn didn't do anything wrong, he's not a russian asset, he didn't collude with anyone, we

matter want to close it by january the 3rd already mccabe is talking oh no we've got to keep the. the investigation going but on the basis of what he's not no longer a russian asset the logan at that of course the logan act is so ridiculous that even they know that they can't possibly go ahead with a logan act so then they cook up this thing about getting him to lie on the record to f.b.i. agent but even that is a fraud because he didn't lie to the f.b.i. agents and it was a deliberate deception that was played which was the issue of the sanctions and the expulsion of the diplomats because the the in the indictment statement the defense gets referring to over he said he didn't talk about sanctions when he didn't talk about sanctions against the act didn't talk to him about sanctions he talked about the expulsion of the diplomats so flynn didn't like he said i didn't talk about sanctions i talked about expulsion of the diplomat and could not do better and he talked in that about the united nations security council vote on israel and settlements which the obama administration was ab

because all of these people -- mccabe and comey at all of them -- they have all lied and lied and lied. and there is more information to come, hear, that is going to show exactly what really happened with michael flynn. >> harris: well, we are being told that, that there's more to come. just your point -- i don't mean to cut in, you were paraphrasing with the ag said. we have it. let's roll it. >> i'm doing the law's bidding. i'm doing my duty under the law, as i see it. i also think it's sad that, nowadays, these partisan feelings are so strong that people have lost any sense of justice. >> harris: melissa? >> melissa: i mean, i agree with that sentiment. i would say that -- i went back and i did a walk through all of the headlines about collusion, of adam schiff saying there is already direct evidence of collusion by the trump campaign. and it seems like a giant pile of promises made to people that hated president trump. that he was an asset, that there was collusion, that he wouldn't make it through his first term. if i wasieved everybody went on television and said, like adam schif

mccabe replied: that's correct.mer obama ambassador to the united nations samantha power was asked about collusion. she replied this, quote: i am not in possession of anything. i'm not in possession and didn't read or absorb information that came from out of the intelligence community. nothing. former obama deputy national security adviser ben rhodes, he said, quote: i saw indications of potential coordination, but i did not see, you know, the specific evidence of the actions of the trump campaign. and it goes on. rhodes' boss, former national security adviser susan rice, was asked about a conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia. her answer was, quote: i don't recall intelligence that i would consider evidence to that effect that i saw conspiracy prior to my departure. and former director of national intelligence james clapper testified this, quote: i never saw any direct empirical evidence that the trump campaign or someone in it was plotting, conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election. that,

andrew mccabe on the steele dossier, we have not been able to prove the accuracy.obama administration, wiretapped, spied on, investigated their political opponents and they never had any evidence of collusion. they didn't have any then and don't have any now because there was no collusion. elizabeth: ken, your reaction? >> liz, even for washington, d.c., this is grossly unprofessional, irresponsible, and in the process, crimes may have been committed. it is not a crime to go on television and tell a golly whopper, but it is a time, at least potentially a crime to release classified information. clearly "the washington post" got information, along the way, that was, this is even prior to the inauguration, that should not have been released. so highly unethical, unprofessional, conduct, they really should be ashamed because the integrity of those people who then made their public statements, their integrity is in shambles. that is unfair to us all. it was terrible of them and unfair to the american people. elizabeth: ken, come back soon. we love having you on. ken st

after a pause he asked if mccabe thought he should appoint a special counsel and mccabe said yes, it would be a good idea. rosenstein's he always considered jim comey of print and a mentor, so looked up to. the one person i wish i could talk to his jim comey. good luck with that, mccabe thought. this this is the guide features. there's a sequence of events were rosenstein offers to wear a wire secretary cohen the president, and both the 20th of the men, of which is true. but by the end of the mueller investigation he is a new person. he has survived. there are two occasions when the justice department drafting press releases saying trump was going to fire him. he goes to the white house and meet with trump and comes out, his job is intact. as soon as the mueller report is delivered he at the new attorney general barr rush to state trump is been exonerated. that there is no crime, no obstruction of justice case to be made. this is not with the mueller report said. mueller wrote a letter to that effect as you probably know the mueller report was far more damning than anything that barr

and andrew mccabe as well. the reason i say that is the inspector general has already found there were misrepresentations, omissions, leaking that occurred by those two individuals in the department of justice and the fbi. the politics that was being played was utilizing an fbi interview where you don't follow policy. you don't warn the target that you are there investigating them and they're entitled to have a lawyer present, and then, when a.g. barr says that it was a trap, it was a trap. the trip particular notes are at least good enough to tell us that they weren't asking the question what's our goal if he lies. they asked the question what's our goal to get him to lie? to take down a sitting national security advisor and, why? because they had to have it in order to justify what they were trying to do with fisa and the investigation of this president. steve: brett, when you think about what you just said, we heard in griff's report that apparently sally yates, the deputy attorney general for the united sta

he ventured andrew mccabe before.rew mccabe lied to the fbi, the same way general flynn was charged for lying under oath. do you know where andrew mccabe is today? he's not in a jail cell for he is not at some sort of at-home arrest. he is a cnn employee actually pontificating on these very things and the thing he has lied to the fbi about was literally leaking to the press, leaking to "the wall street journal" information that would be damaging to what were political opponents and then you give this guy a cushy job at a national news network? that is everything that is wrong with journalism in 2020 today. mark: you are right. i don't know what is worse? time in prison or working at cnn? we'll be right back. state farm is announcing the good neighbor relief program we're returning $2 billion dollars to our auto policyholders through may 31st. because now, more than ever, being a good neighbor means everything. like a good neighbor, state farm is there. being a good neighbor means everything. all rightyeah.'s do it. (l

days later, rosenstein calls andrew mccabe who's become the acting fbi director. they were talking about something relatively innocuous and i report as follows he shifted to word the closed door off in the distance his eyes were glassy, his voice was wavering, his eyes teared up and he couldn't believe what was happening. they were trying to make it look as if it were his idea to fire comey that that wasn't true. rosenstein was burning to keep his emotions in check. he was shocked that he was complaining in him. they barely knew each other but they wanted to be compassionana. are you okay, no. eetting any sleep, no. is your family okay? rosenstein said that there were news trucks parked outside his house an with his wife and famiy were upset. there was a pause and then he said ther that there is one hei can talk to about this. there's no one here i can trust. he began to hold his emotions in check and asked if mccabe thought he should appoint a special counsel and he said yes it would be a good idea. rosenstein said he considered jim comey a friend and mentor, som

here is what mccabe is saying afterwards.edia obsessed with finding some kind of set-up. i would pointed out general flynn was not targeted. he was properly investigated in a well predicated case. a case whose validity has been proven not by just those of us involved later by the mueller investigation and after that by the inspector general's investigation. he was investigated because we had reason to believe he presented a threat to national security. i still think that those things are worthy of investigation. apparently the president does not. pete: a well predicated case? go for it emily. emily: actually that interview and the conclusions drawn from it was unjustified by and untethered to the larger investigation. and that all of the statements by flynn were immaterial. basically destroying everything that mccabe is saying right there. i just don't understand such a different view of justice how can you view mercy so horribly. shouldn't he be the first person to welcome that someone in power is making a corrective measure

that quite clearly but you're right, the rank-and-file at the fbi realized like people like comey, mccaberzok, others really ruined the good name and reputation of fbi agents which will take probably a decade to recover from. i just received a couple days ago an email from pa former head of counterintelligence at the fbi who thanked me for exposing this information and is really quite angry what comey, mccabe, peter strzok, lisa page did to damage the reputation of the fbi. elizabeth: gregg jarrett, you're great. you're a great author. buy gregg's book. he is terrific. come back soon, okay? >> sure. elizabeth: okay. coming up, media critics saying it is not just coverage falling down on covid-19 policies, eventually found to put both lives and economy in danger, in danger. critics now saying also things like media coverage that went awry with trump russia collusion. they didn't cover correctly what was wrong with the steele dossier, the michael flynn case. we'll stay on the story. is the media giving you stories, just reporting just the facts or acting like change agents like ag barr warn

the doj, mccabe, peter strzok, comey, baker, we need up just a system that everyone has confidence in whether it's a three star general or a black jogger in georgia. we need a justice system we have confidence in. jim comey, i have the title for his next book. how my arrogance ruin the reputation of the world's premier law enforcement agency. if that's your next title. it's a long, but the book is long and that's the next book he ought to write. not one about honor and integrity and how his own arrogance wrecked to the fbi. >> martha: with regard to bill priestap who is the counterintelligence officer at the fbi or head of counterintelligence who wrote those notes, there was no derogatory information, if their comments were what prompted. in terms of accountability, i am not a civil war in 1983 expert but i think michael flynn will have a really tough time recouping everything that is lost financially. the justice system has so much power, martha. that is what irritates me when i hear comey. the power we give the department of justice to take away your freedom, your reputation and res
