mr. comeyte? we would like you had to explain the detail.io why was the language changed in the may exoneration that was being written for hillary clinton ahead of her interrogation from gross negligence, the legal term, to extreme carelessness? why was clinton allowed to have other people in the room when the fbi and your agents got around to questioning her late in the game? july 2nd, you exonerated her aree days later. why were aides like cheryl mills offered immunity? why was destroying subpoenaed emails, removing sim cards, busting up blackberries, using bleach bit to totally eliminate any possibility of recovering emails on a server, tell me how with an underlying crime of the espionage act, that is not obstruction of justice that you seem to care so much about? why did you expect attorney general lynch's, well, her description, or change in language that the clinton investigation was not an investigation at all, but a matter? how many times, mr. comey, were you warned that the steele dos

says because mr. comey says ask mr. mueller.ill tell you that i don't believe it's appropriate for me toe get into conversations i've had with principals on that issue. >> there was a central question. mueller slices it into pieces, dances around it and says, hey, i'm not going to tell you. i don't think it's appropriate. this is really important for next week, and the criminal evidence against the president. congress never got a fuller answer on that issue there, so you can contrafrt now these two top officials discussing the same incident as a preview for next week. >> i raced to the hospital room, mr. ash croft was lying down in the bed, the room was darkened. >> it was out of the ordinary? >> i prepared a letter of resignation to resign. >> i don't believe it's appropriate for me to get into conversations i've had with principals on that issue. >> mueller will have even more rationales next week for why some answer is unappropriate. grand jurd i law, d.o.j. rules, the credible consideration that people mueller indicted are s

james comey and company were so desperate to find that backdooro the trump campaign, yes, mr. comey, to spy -- that they used phony unverifiable campaign clinton bought and paid for op research full of russian lies. that was to obtain a warrant to spy on an american citizen and an entire presidential campaign. and according to "the new york times," investigators working for the ig's probe into fisa abuse, they asked christopher steele, "whether the bureau was overly reliant on the russian expertise of outsiders like himself." and christopher steele told them that he believed the fbi was probably underequipped to judge the inherently murky intelligence that he was relating. i don't believe that is true, either." the times" says that he added his own interpretation to his own sources that he passed on to your christopher steele, calling into question the reliability of all this information. by the way, they were all warned about it before he signed it in 2016, the one he swore was verified and true, the one in three months later he told president trump's unverified and salacious. in o

there was an oval office meeting where comey brought up thehe dossier with mr. obama mr. biden, susan rice was there. and i think brennan was there. and they all discuss the dossier. susan rice was there as well. obama knew about the dossier and the text messages between strzok and page. the white house wanted to know about this. when it came to going aftere trump on the dossier and the obama administration it was all hands on deck and was orchestrated out of the white house. and i think the big issue is for the media and investigators, why isn't president obama being asked to serious questions about this? >> sean: not one time. i know sleepy creepy crazy uncle biden will be asked about this. great work as always. judicial watch. this weekend the president called out the radical socialist new leaders in theat democratic party in a huge way. he rebuked a lot of the anti-american comments. essentially told them love it or leave it, and when you fix a country you came from, then you can come back and show us. there's been a lot of media mob democratic outrage. but today the

thought, especially with jim comey, describes this meeting, why didn't jim comey say i know you're not from the political n world, mre and apart, just so you know. why didn't they tell the trump campaign, donald trump is a patriot, loves his country, done great philanthropic work. why didn't they just tell donald trump, i think there might be some attempts, russian interference in your campaign and give him a chance to clean it up. if it was happening, turns out it wasn't. why didn't they approach it that way? >> you wonder that. for some reason then jim comey, turns around and ends up leaking all of this information to his professor friend, yet he seems to get away with that,on doesn't he? one of the things i'm also sort of wondering about, andrew weissmann. why is it that if the democrats are so interested in getting information about the mueller investigation, why don't they bring him to capitol hill? why is it that all the democrats don't seem so interested about what andrew weissmann has to say? i've been asking them these questions. and they're like, oh, we don't really want to talk about that right now. >> se

mr. mueller, the president explained his reasons for firing james comey that day. and the answer i know is "yes, which means that mueller was a witness in his own prosecution case. you cannot be a prosecution and a witness at the same time. >> jason: and never slowed him down before, but to -- the other major conflict of interest is the key witness in any obstruction case is james comey. and james comey and robert mueller a long time friends, colleagues, and allies, he was comey's mentor, how is that fair to the president, because mueller has to decide if he believes that comey or the guy who fired my friend comey. that is a major conflict of interest, he should have disqualified himself. >> jason: congressman gaetz, i want to go to you, on the judiciary committee, what kind of questions and what can you get out? mueller is a reluctant witness. he does not want to come. he was issued a subpoena. he says that he is going to confine his report to what was issued in his report. so what do you think you can draw out from? >> when robert mueller leaves capitol hill, i t

mr. president, last question on this and that i want to switch to 2020, if i may. comey. mccabe. comey signed the first fisa warrants which opens the door, barely, according to newness and the grassley ground them all, the bulk of information was hillary bought and paid for a dirty russian dossier. we found out from john solomon last week that he had a spreadsheet, even if you are in early 2017, said 90% of this saying was false garbage and not true. comey signed it though and that allowed a backdoor for carter page to spy on your campaign, later transitioning to the presidency. but mccabe, chart, page, brennan, klapper, may be sourcing out what would be illegal intelligence gathering gathering. we know the attorney general was there. is there any of these names -- what you think of these people? when jane's comey signed the first pfizer application in october 2016, winter trump tower in january 2017, and told you it was unverified, months earlier, he swore on that application, the pfizer application that was verified, so he lied. what are your thoughts about these people today?

comey said he was a russian agent. in the report, they do not say that. we really need to know the answer. what, mr. mueller stood by is in his report but that does not bring finality to who he is. we need to know who this guy really is. if he is a russian agent, we need to make sure our rest and -- russian -- our western allies know about it. >> it is time to put america first. it is time for democrats to close the chapter on this book they have tried for three years. it is time to get over the 2016 election. thank you. >> this article reporting the house judiciary committee has formally asked a federal judge to release former special counsel robert mueller's evidence, the material he gathered with a secret grand jury. house judiciary chairman has sought the grand jury evidence since the spring. the hearings -- they are available online. type mueller report at c-span.org. you can also read the report on our website and watch his statement, related house and senate floor speeches, other hearings and events. the trumparing on administration's immigration enforcement actions and the safety of migrant

mr. mueller, is if our nato allies or boris johnson have been compromised. comey says mifsin is a russian agent. you do not. do you stand by what's in the report? >> i stand by that which is in the report and not so necessarily with that which is not in the report. >> i want to return to mr. downer. he denies papadopoulos mentioned anything to him about hillary clinton emails and denies that he took that to papadopoulos. mifsin denies mentioning them to papadopoulos in the first place. how does the fbi know to continually ask papadopoulos about clinton's emails for the rest of 2016? even more strangely, your sentencing memo on papadopoulos blames him for hindering the arrest or detain mifsid, who waltzed in and out of the united states in december 2016. the u.s. media could find him. italian press found him. a supposed russian agent at the epicenter of the purported collusion conspiracy. he is the guy who knows about the hillary clinton emails and that the russians have them but the fbi failed to question him for half a year after aofficially opening the investiga

mr. president, last question on this, and i want to switch to 2020 if i may. comey, mccabe, comey signed the first fisa warrant, which opened the door, apparently, according to nunes and the grassley-graham memo, the bulk of information was hillary's bought andnd paid for dirty russian dossier, and we found out from john solomon, they had a spreadsheet, even the fbi said this was false, garbage, not true. comey signed it. that allowed a backdoor to sign on your company and, later transition, and then presidency. mccabe, strzok, paige, brennan,e, clapper, be sourcing out what would be a legal intelligence gathering. and we know the attorney general's there. is there any ofe. these names -- what do you think these people? because james comey signed the first fisa application in october 2016, went to trump tower in january 2017 and told you it's unverified, months earlier, he swore on that application, the fisa application, that it's verified, so he lied. what are your thoughts about these people today? >> president trump: well, comey is a liar and a leaker. and that's

of justice, mr attorney general, are those discoveries going to come out in heart of campaign itself? >> i sure hope so, i hope inspector general horowitz makes a criminal referral for comey, brennan and clapper and strzok and page, we know mccabe has a criminal referral for his work. and so we need to hold these people accountable, we need to understand how the fisa application was first put together, and then approved by a judge in information they got and where they go the it from, every day we get better move --e get more information is goes deeper and deeper, i believe this goes to the obama administration someone in that white house, saw it santioned and authorize it and allowed it. that is why. david: corey lewandowski thank you. >> thank you. david: we'll like to hear your thoughts on this share comments follow lou on twitter at lou dobbs, like him at facebook and follow him on instagram. >> coming up next, latest move by trump administration toiicic pediate asee lime claim, after the break. narrator: disaster tips from the objects left behind. doll: my home wasn't insured. but you can check your insurance policy now to make sure you're covered. oof. piggy bank: m

james comey also tried building a conspiracy case against the president using a standard postelection intelligence briefing to gather information on mrp. significantly exit the alleged use of briefings first came to light in april when fox news broke the story that text messages between then fbi agent peter strzok and an fbi lawyer lisa page show they also discussed using a similar briefing using the m coming vice president, mike pence to identify sources inside the white house, to track length of question, and assessed aminos. fox news got those text messages to the vice president's office where the vice president responded he was cool, deeply offended to learn to disgrace agents considered infiltrating his team. meantime, two sources close to the process the justice department inspector michael lee horwitz may not be ready to release his report into alleged surveillance abuse and targeting of the trump campaign until september after key witnesses including the author of anti-trump dossier came forward at the 11th hour, tucker. >> tucker: spewing catherine he. great to see you tonight. thank you for that. >> you're welcome. >> tucke

mr. mueller, is if our nato allies or boris johnson have been compromised. so we are trying to figure out -- comey says mifsud is a russian agent, you do not. so do you stand by what's in the report? >> i stand by that which is in the report. not so necessarily with that which is not in the report. >> i want to return to mr. downer. he denies that papadopoulos mentioned anything to him about hillary clinton's emails and in fact mifsud denies mentioning that to papadopoulos. he denies that papadopoulos mentioned anything to him about hillary clinton's emails. in fact, mifsud denies mentioning them to papadopoulos in the first place. so how does the fbi know to continually ask papadopoulos about clinton's emails for the rest of 2016? even more strangely, your sentencing memo on papadopoulos names him for hindering the fbi ability to potentially detain or arrest mifsud, but the truth is mifsud waltzed in and out of the united states in december 2016. the u.s. media could find him, the italian press found him, and he is a supposed russian agent at the epicenter of the purported collusion conspiracy. h
