mccabe.ind it hard to believe that mccabe and comey did not know that the russian subsource told the fbi in january oh, by the way, the documents you're using to get a warrant against carter page, the steele dossier, it's a bunch of hearsay, bar talk and gagarbage. they will eventually be called before the committee. >> maria: let me bring you this statement from andrew mccabe after your hearing. because mccabe is firing back. he says this, mr. rosenstein's claims to have been misled by me or anybody from the fbi regarding our concerns about president trump and the campaign's interactions with russia are completely false. mr. rosenstein approved of and suggested ways to enhance our investigation of the president, further i personally briefed mrs memos describing his interaction was the president. somebody is lying here. are you going to call andrew mccabe to testify in front of your committee? >> just as sure as the sun rises and sets, i will. and here's what i would say to mr. mccabe. in the

this is what andrew mccabe wrote about a meeting he had with the deputy attorney general, mr.ein. as our conversation continued, mr. rosenstein proposed he could potentially wear a recording device into the oval office to collect additional evidence on the president's true intentions. he said he thought it might be possible because he was not searched when he entered the white house. i told him i would discuss the opportunity with my investigative team and get back to him. of course it happened. you had the deputy attorney general of the united states talking to andrew mccabe, the top fbi official at the time, about wearing a wire and spying on the president the oval office? the same document, more documents we have from rosenstein's own e-mails show that conversation about the 25th amendment took place. and, of course, all part of that discussion was mueller. so the coup was about wearing a wire, invoking the 25th and appointing a counsel. and the special counsel was appointed, that's for sure. lou: well, you know, rod rosenstein is i such a nice fellow -- is such a nice fell

he called out andy mccabe over the russia probe.atch. >> if you knew then what you know now, would you have signed the warrant application? >> no, i wouldn't have. >> the reason is because they found ex coupl exculpatory infon was withheld. >> among other reasons. >> did he ever lie to you? >> mr. mccabe, i don't believe senator there were any occasions that he lied to me. >> do you think he was truthful to you. >> i believe mr. mccabe was not fully candid with me, certainly wasn't forth coming. in particular, with regard to mr. comey's memoranda of his interview was the president and with regard to the fbi's suspicions about the president, mr. mccabe did not reveal those to me for at least a week after he became acting director. maria: not fully candid. joining me right now is former trump deputy national security advisor, the author of the wildly successful book, revolution, trump, washington and we the people. casey mcfarland is here. thank you for being here. i want to thank you for the last time you were with us, you went throu

mccabe. " mr. rosenstein's claims to have been misled by me or anyone from the fbi regarding our concerns about president trump in the trump campaign's interactions with russia are completely false or cow -- completely false. moses -- iime -- briefed mr. rosenstein on jim comey's memos describing his interactions with the president days after mr. rosenstein wrote the memo firing jim comey. mr. rosenstein's testimony is an art with the factual record, it looks to be another sad attempt by the president and his men to rewrite the history of their actions in 2017. they have found in mr. rosenstein then and now a willing accessory in that effort." would you like to respond? mr. rosenstein: what think you need to appreciate is i have a strong team working with me at the department of justice. i had some of the finest lawyers that i have ever met working with me at the department of justice. it was a team that included trump appointees, included career people, i'm sure there were republicans and democrat

calling out the former fbi director andy mccabe over the russia probe. mccabe quickly firing back.lse by the fbi are completely false. here to react ranking member of the oversight committee, house judiciary committee congressman jim jordan. congressman, you know this case as well as anyone, what's the most intriguing thing to come out of this and are you surprised mccabe and rosenstein disagree? >> no. i mean, look, somebody is not telling the truth because that former fbi council jim baker told us when we deposed him last congress in the judiciary committee that rod rosenstein was serious about wearing a wire and using the 25th amendment to try to remove president trump from office. somebody is not being square and i guess maybe when you are engaged in this kind of wrong doing which happened at the upper levels of the fbi, maybe it's tough to keep your story straight. maybe that's the key take away here. so somebody is not telling the truth. i think senator graham will get to the bottom of it when he starts bringing all these people in to the hearings that he is having. brian: ro

so mccabe, baker or rosenstein, someone's not being honest. that's why senator graham and the republicans want to bring in more of these people and get the whole truth. elizabeth: so it your sense that rosenstein essentially said today the trump-mueller probe should never have happened to begin with, that it was politicized and corrupt? >> yeah. he said that. by august of 2017 he said we didn't have anything there. in fact, that reinforces what jim comey told us when we deposed him last congress, he said up until the time he was fired, we still didn't know if we had anything. so understand, that means after ten months of investigating d -- because they started on july 31, 2016, after ten months they didn't have anything. and yet eight days later rod rosenstein named bob mueller as special come. and we get two years, $30 million, 19 lawyers, 40 fbi agents, 500 subpoenas, all this and when it's all said and done they come back and tell us, oh, wait a minute, we never should have done this investigation in the first place because there was nothin

mccabe was not fully candid with me. certainly wasn't forthcoming.lizabeth: that was rod rosenstein in the final comment talking about andrew mccabe, fired former fbi official. here is what is happening, tomorrow, a vote out of senate judiciary about subpoenaing fired fbi officials james comey, andrew mccabe, also former cia director john brennan, former dni james clapper and others. but democrats also want to subpoena michael cohen, roger stone and lieutenant-general michael flynn. let's welcome in a fox business exclusive, back to the show, republican jim jordan, ranking member on house judiciary. congressman, we love having you back on. your thoughts and reactions to today's hearing? what is your thoughts. >> not what he said, but who said it. rod rosenstein was deputy, number two guy at the justice department, the guy who signed fisa as you talked about discussed with senator graham. the guy who also named bob mueller as the special counsel. so this is, this is an important person who now says there was no basis for this whole darn investigation

mccabe was not certainly candidate with me. certainly wasn't forthcoming.lizabeth: your reaction to that? >> well that is a bombshell announcement. that means andy mccabe who at that time was the acting fbi director was not candid to the person that he reported to, the deputy attorney general of the united states. and it means that between andy mccabe and jim comey, they were conducting essentially a rogue investigation of a presidential candidate and then the incumbent president of the united states. so you know, again, and also combined with that and the fisa court lies it means that there are people to be held to account, and if the government through this attorney general and john durham can prove that there were those who knowingly lied in order to continue on with an investigation, that they knew should have been called to a conclusion, i do think that there are prosecutable cases out there and the question will be again over the next 90 days or so whether or not we see prosecutions. it is in the public interest, all i'm saying it is in the public int

mccabe said, quote, obama wanted everything you have on russian influence.d the senate they would have a major problem if the steele dossier had not been included. what is going on here? >> well, either mccabe is telling the truth, that that is the reason this totally discredited dossier was in there or you have to believe that the top officials in our intelligence agencies and the fbi were totally incompetent in their jobs and that was the reason they included this totally discredited dossier. i don't think they're all incompetent. it sounds like in fact there was pressure coming from the white house and frankly, look, we know now this was a partisan use of both our law enforcement capabilities and the very powerful capabilities of our intelligence agencies. something that has never happened, that i know of in the history of the united states being used against the opposition political party's presidential candidate. elizabeth: yeah. critics have accused president obama and his administration of abuses of power. he literally, his administration literally sp

i will call mccabe.ind it hard to believe that mccabe and comey did not know that the russian subsource told the fbi in january, oh, by the way, the documents you're using to get a warrant against carter page, the steele dossier, is a bunch of hearsay, bar talk and garbage. that is why they eventually will be called before the committee. elizabeth: let's welcome rnc committee woman for california, harmeet dhillon. glad to have you back. you heard what senator graham just said, do you think the upper echelon, the c-suite, james comey and mccabe knew there was no there there and kept it going, the trump russia probe and the probe into general michael flynn? >> this seems obvious to me and observers on the situation. the only other republicans and i have for senator graham, what took you so long? he has been chairman of senate judiciary. i'm glad the issues are targeted and coming to light. it is overdue. the president has labored under these totally faked up clouds for 3 1/2 years now. so i think it is tim

we know andrew mccabe should have been fired a long time ago.ge jeanine: you are not answering the question. >> it's up to the president. the president is very concerned with the lack of leadership in a number of agencies. judge jeanine: now i'm going back to john solomon. you provided us with a list of those people who have been subpoenaed after indicating that a lot of the senators are talking about a conspiracy. these people as you can see up on the screen are already been subpoenaed by lindsey graham. but in addition there are interesting people who have been subpoenaed. why don't you tell us about some of the names other than the usual suspects. >> two names we haven't heard a lot of but may have played a behind the scenes role. two clinton acolytes close to the clinton world having similar information close to christopher steele. those are names that show up on the roll of subpoenas. and they will answer questions for the first time. they will be interesting. judge jeanine: we thank you both of you. of you. john solomon, are you sick and t

the question is, can anybody in the fbi go to mccabe and comey and say, by the way, the warrant we've been using is no longer reliable. i find it hard to believe that nobody at the top was told by the professionals in the organization that our case fell apart. >> sean: you had the i thought the biggest blockbuster test testimony. by the way, you were criticized because people said it, not moving fast enough, there's a time into place. what did it tell you and what are the next steps? >> it tells me that rosenstein signed the warrant application, and it tells me that the scope memo, and the trump campaign was written. and did you know the fbi had learned that the dossier was no longer knows what was reliable? most of them are going to say, no. i don't believe mccabe and comey could possibly have not known that the dossier could have been rejected by the sub source. i can't believe the fbi's that poorly run. the most important investigation and nobody told the top of the fbi, by the way our case fell apart. i'm not going to look for people who interview the sub source get blamed for thi

mccabe's statements. i had an understanding of what he had told me, but the document stands for itself. it is 100 pages. and it is based on what i understood to be in the application. chairman graham: you did a scope letter in august of 2017, after you appointed mueller. do you know what i am talking about? mr. rosenstein: yes. chairman graham: who prepared that? mr. rosenstein: i do not know exactly who prepared it. i know how it came about. chairman graham: explain it quickly. mr. rosenstein: i am not sure how quickly i can do it, but -- i would ask mueller to look at the whole or all of the relevant matters. chairman graham: where did the information in the document come from? did it come from the mueller team? mr. rosenstein: it came to me through the team i set up to interface with the mueller team. chairman graham: the team that interfaced with the mueller team, did they make the conclusion that you need to be looking at papadopoulos and all these people for colluding with russia? mr. rosenstein: on

i don't believe that about mccabe and comey.e will tell. >> martha: is that some of what your colleagues had to say in the senate. kamala harris. >> i would dare say the conversation that we are having to day is to what has happened on the streets of america today. >> why we are taking time right now to fight over a dozen and dozens subpoenas, why do committee chairman's breaking precedent and digging into the conspiracy theory, it is a disappointing distraction. >> [laughs] >> martha: do you want to respond to them, senator? >> i can only imagine what they would be saying if the republican party had hired christopher steele to dig up dirt on hillary clinton and the republican party paid him, and he wound up getting a rush in to give dirt against hillary clinton that was a bunch of garbage and used by the fbi o get a warrant against a clinton operative. this is hypocrisy run a monk again, i supported the mueller investigation. but i can guarantee if the shoe was on the other foot, they would be yelling trees and right now paid i

that new information and andrew mccabe back with analysis next. >>> don't be a sucker. anyone trying to tell you that here's the group that's really behind the violence we're seeing on the streets, they've never been in a crowd like this. i have. let me tell you. there are lots of different factions and there are lots of different people there for the wrong reason, and that certainly goes for the president. he is trying to sell you something and he's doing it for the wrong reason. let's bring in donie o'sullivan with the story of one tweet that shows the cycle of confusion. first of all, nice to meet you, young man. >> how are you chris? >> good. better for me than you. tell me the story. >> we've heard the story blame pretty much exclusively left-wing activists as he would call them for all the violence we're seeing on the streets across the u.s., particularly one group, antifa, which is an extreme left organization sometimes involved in violence. with that in mind, what started circulating on twitter was a tweet which was reportedly sent by antifa. it said tonight's t

so i called mccabe, i find it hard to believe that mccabe and comey did not know that the russian subource told the fbi in january, by the way the document you are using to get a warrant against carter page, the steele dossier is a bunch a hearsay, bartok and garbage. that's why the be called before the committee. liz: let's welcome committee woman for california harm easily back on the show. it's always great to have you back on. you heard what senator graham just said, do you think that the upper echelon, the seat to the fbi knew that the was there in the probe into lieutenant general michael flynn? >> this is obvious into observers of the situation. only question the eyeing other republicans have for senator graham, what took you so long, he's been the chair judiciary for seven months and i'm glad to see these issues are beginning to be targeted and come to light, it's overview in this president has labored under these totally faked up clouds for three and half years now and i think it's time to get to the bottom of it, not just because what happened in the past but to prevent this

plus, a war of words erupted between rod rosenstein and indicate after he called mccabe out and saidsn't fully candid. tom dupree joins us with a reaction, next. >> what has happened is unacceptable and we let the fbi director sit in the seat that you are in and say he's not accountable. in fact he's done nothing, the current fbi director. he doesn't seem to want to do anything. ♪ (music) step by step... focused and undaunted. they are compelled to step forward. to the front lines. and into the unknown. for all of us. for every step. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ and let me tell you something, rodeo... ♪ i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. it's just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, it's helped over a million americans. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of trick to take your home. it's a loan, like any other. big difference is how you pay it back. find out how reverse mortgages really work with aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage guide. eliminate monthly mortgage payments, pay bills

mccabe's statements, i certainly have an understanding of what mr. mccabe had told me. document stands for itself, it's 100 pages and i relied on what to be understood in the application. >> you did a scope letter i think august 17 after you appointed mueller, you know what i'm talking about, a memorandum i suppose. we prepared that? >> senator, i don't know exactly who prepared it but i know how it came about. let me mention how quickly i can do it. i asked him to look at the hole, to look at the relevant matters. >> did it come from the mueller team? >> the team that you sent that interface with the mueller tea team, -- >> i think it's important to recognize, one of the reasons that i was reluctant to release these documents publicly, we investigate people who are not necessarily guilty. i didn't have any presumption that these folks were guilty of anything. >> did you believe they committed a crime? >> i believe there was predication. >> gave you that predication? >> it was information that came to me from the fbi. >> is it from peter strzok and lisa page, were they

mccabe. he said he never misled mr. rosenstein. somebody misled the court. mccabe,it possible mr. in charge of this investigation on a regular basis, had no wasledge that the dossier disavowed by the russian sub source? shocked, but i would be if one of the most high-profile cases and they have to -- history of the fbi did not make it out of the basement that our case just fell apart. did not did know, josh know, he should have known and how could he not. if comey knew and they continue to seek a warrant after they knew it was unreliable, then they should be held accountable, either criminally, or otherwise. and, nobody knows the answer to that question. and, we are going to get to the answer. mr. chairman, i support the investigation into this rogue fbi counterintelligence investigation known as crossfire hurricane, what i think what mr. rosenstein pointed out to us yesterday and something we all know from the department of chart isrganization that the fbi director is supposed to be accountable to the deputy attorney general, and yet, director comey was in but josh was directing

to look at everything and not one person has been prosecuted including the russians but comey and mccabe senate judiciary committee chairman lindsey graham issuing a warning to dozens of former obama administration officials, the committee approves a measure today along strict partyline vote giving graham broad subpoena authority for the investigation into the crossfire hurricane investigation. let's talk about it with the man who got the ball rolling on the latest development, when he was acting director and national intelligence ambassador richard grenell. good to have you back with us. i want to put something up for viewers to see, some of the names of people they will recognize it could be subject to subpoenas, andrew mccabe, james comey, lisa page, peter stzrok, why is it important we hear from them and do you think we will? >> we should hear from everybody. we should hear why this russian investigation was started because clearly what we're finding out as we look more information the grounds were very shaky and red flags were raised from the very beginning that this wasn't an accur

>> presidential power and andrew mccabe and then the special counsel operation which, frankly, i havethought was all part of the insurance policy that general flynn was the key to. because if you'll recall on august 15th, that's when strzok and page texted each other about the insurance policy they discussed in mccabe's office in the event trump won. then august 16 is when they opened the case on flynn, and august 17 is when they send agent pientka into the presidential briefing to spy on general flynn, assess husband mannerisms, collect information as much as possible for that two hour briefing. and he did that according to the i'm sorry g. report for the very purpose of having that baseline realize to go by if they knew that to interview trump later, i.e., if trump became president. so that's what they did just two days a after the inauguration. so they planned this whole thing for a long time. lou: and they were trying, it seems without doubt, trying to overthrow a president of the united states. sidney powell, i want to say thank you for your time this evening. and sharing part of

campaign that is just absolutely colossally wrong and so that is on jim comey's watch and andrew mccabee of these other individuals. we know from the inspector general's report in december of last year, harris, michael horowitz has reported in his remarkable testimony shortly thereafter that there were not just blunders, this is not mistakes that were made, this is pernicious violations of an american citizen's rights, there is going to be a very substantial bill to pay on the part of the senior leadership of the fbi. >> harris: and i rode that down because that really gets to the heart of how serious this can be for those individuals. now, attorney general barr didn't want to go into details on the list but you've done this sort of thing before, you've investigated the origins of something. who could be on the list and how much trouble could they be in? >> i think jim comey has to be on the list when you look at the origins of investigation, his involvement, the searing criticism of him by inspector general horowitz and in an earlier report there are serious questions to be answered an

you have a long list here, but mccabe, the deputy assistant director to the fbi who was also on thathen you have brandon, clapper, people from other agencies from the dni to the cia. a lot of these things evidently happened overseas where you know that durham can go and look and potentially bring charges. i hope this gets wrapped up sooner than later. i think the attorney general has been foreshadowing that he is very, very concerned. and that should be concerning to all of us on both sides of the auto. you can have rogue agencies going after somebody in a political campaign. the thing that probably bothers me as much as anything is they never gave donald trump as a candidate, the president-elect, and the president a defensive briefing. something they did with the clinton campaign and others. if they thought somebody was nefarious, they had a duty and obligation to tell donald trump personally and they never did that. i think that goes too intense. >> kennedy, bill barr has been very consistent and saying he doesn't want politics to play a role into other people are prosecuted or not

>> we don't know at this point, but we do know that when mccabe and others wanted to close this upon obama administration to the trump administration, we had jim comey himself say that they needed to keep out going and that they needed to have that interview with carter page during the transition in the hopes of catching him and, hopefully, getting him to lie to investigators without an attorney present. and we see the results. we have a judge now who is looking for assistance in the form of an amicus brief from another judge who, even though he had stated in previous ruling that prosecutors have the absolute discretion over their cases, that he doesn't want to give prosecutors discretion to dismiss the charm against carter -- against michael flynn at this point. elizabeth: okay, that's the michael flynn case. you know, the steele dossier that you mentioned, the opposition research, the doj inspector general said it had russian disinformation in it. thank you so much, congressman, for joining us. stay with us, a big show coming up. ♪ (vo) at audi, we design cars that exhilarate with

senator graham is saying mccabe and comey, your day is coming.hat do you think is going to happen here? >> these senate subpoenas were obviously looking what was happening in late 2016 and early 2017, the obama department of justice, the obama administration. so a lot of these folks associated with trump really don't have any part of that story. i think it is going tock very important to find out who can point to one piece of evidence that was used to predicate this investigation. whether it is interview with flynn. whether it's the appointment of bob mueller. all of these acts appear to be not predicated properly according to the doj standards. so you know, i'm going to be watching this very carefully to hear finally who has the piece of evidence that even allows these investigations to proceed in the first place. lou: yeah. because they used a secret fisa court you normally use to go after terrorists to do surveillance on a opposition candidate. the other news on the trump russia probe today, a newly declassified document was released. a footno
