. >> jim comey provided enough evidence i think commence an investigation of mrs. lynch.ot by bob mueller. i don't think this has any connection to us. david: special counsel. >> correct. this should be done by main justice. jeff sessions, could be difficult for him to do it. ask the fbi to investigate the predecessor, should direct fbi to direct investigation of her, to see whether she committed obstruction of justice or misconduct in office. the use of justice department for improper purpose. david: mention that comey, re-emphasize he is under oath when he said he had conversation with lynch. we have to take him at his word. otherwise he committed perjury. i don't think he did. there are new suggestions there may be evidence, an email between loretta lynch and somebody in the hillary clinton or the obama administration about how to change the verbiage of this. in fact, chuck grassley sent a letter to loretta lynch, during your time in the justice department, did you ever have communications with representative wasserman schultz her staff, associates or any former dnc of

apparently there was a hacked batch of e-mails that said that a democratic operative that expressed that mrs. lynchinton investigation from going too far and that there was e-mails going back and forth between the dnc, hillary clinton campaign and the department of justice. think about that. that is the definition of collusion. >> that's not good. >> and it's democrats. >> i think that a.g. lynch is being looked at. we've learned things that are not favorable. >> we have to be careful. those are things planted by russia. i want the go back to -- >> are you accusing this e-mail to be a russian planted e-mail? >> there's some reporting around the idea that alleged e-mail where connections between the attorney general and the hillary clinton campaign -- >> "the washington post" and "new york times" reporting these. >> listen, i don't trust them, but i'm saying -- i would think that they would -- especially being democrats that they're looking at, alleged investigations, wow. okay. all right. >> back -- we can talk about that afterwards over a glass of wine or something. comey and mueller are part of t

mr. lynch: i thank the gentlelady for yielding. i have to say, mr. speaker, that this is the single worst piece of legislation that i have seen in my time here in congress, and i have been here a while. i have to congratulate the gentleman from texas on putting group of terrible ideas together. this bill basically destroys the work we did to try to secure the banks after the financial crisis of 2008. it harms consumers. it lets off bad actors and hamstrings our financial regulators and i believe it will lead to the next financial crisis. this bill will destroy the only consumer protection agency in the united states government by handing over the ability to defund the operation to the people who were committed to opposing its very creation. it also repeals the department of labor's fiduciary rule that simply requires that financial advisors put the interest of its clients first rather than its own. and finally, it is important to emphasize the choice act rolls back the accountability and reporting standards for credit rating agencies. as gretchen mor

comey and mr. lynch. it's not just republicans.nne feinstein said we should look into this matter as well. sure it's important what the russians tried to do in our election. we need to get to the bottom of it but we need to do it in the right way. >> let's discuss your op ed, you're investigating our guys, so you want to investigate your guys. russian interference and these ancillary questions somewhat involved and related questions of any collusion are relevant because it's a situation we're dealing with right now with russian interference with a current administration. why would you see that as being equivalent to looking at what happened with non-presidential people before now? >> all i'm saying is let's investigate the investigators, not just me, even democrat senator feinstein said we should look into it. >> she did not suggest the urgency that you are. she didn't say we should put it on equal footing with everything we're doing about russia. >> you don't think it's important to understand why the justice department misled the

language that the clinton campaign was using which would be a serious abuse of power on the part of mrs. lynchuage that he's using, that it made him feel queasy when it happened, this is part of jim comey being focused on his reputation. >> another set of problems. >> again, he is a master. i just want to point out quickly. "wall street journal" earlier in january when they asked the trump administration asked comey to stay on as fbi director. the lead of editorial in the journal on january 25th was, regrets, they'll have a few, in terms of the trump administration doing that. i think they have more than a few regrets. >> how about the flip side of that? regrets, they'll have a lot, for firing. if he wassen fired we wouldn't be talking ab this today. >> harris: is it the firing or the way it was rolled out? >> we wouldn't have a special prosecutor. i believe bill mueller would not have been in that position. >> harris: we've gone back and forth over whether comey felt pressured. where do you come down on that? it's impossible to know now. he seems to be telling two stories. >> i don't think he

if mrs. lynchrcement decisions for political purposes, that's called misconduct in office. and jeff sessions, the present justice dental, should investigate her for that. the complaints against comey is that he didn't come public with this in a timely manner. steve: until he got fired. >> it appears why do they testify in secret if somebody is going to leak what the testimony was. but it appears that after that testimony that we all watched last week, they had a secret session and in that secret session let me tell you what i know about loretta lynch. and that's when that this came out. steve: maybe james comey leaked this himself. >> may be. i do believe loretta lynch is in a lot of hot water. steve: because she was trying to influence the american presidential election. >> correct. in ways far more profound than just terminology. the terminology thing is important. but it apparently goes far beyond that. steve: she had agreed to put the kibosh on any investigation of hillary clinton. don't worry,

let me be really frank, there is enough evidence to commence an investigation about whether there mrs. lynchin office, defined as an improper basis for a governmental decision. the improper basis is not to enforce the laws, but to help hillary beat donald trump. stuart: okay. this afternoon jeff sessions appears before the senate intelligence committee. >> yes. stuart: he'll be answering questions. everybody's going to watch this, got it. what legal jeopardy could jeff sessions place our president in or himself? >> i am sorry to say that i think he's in a very, very tight position. he has a client called the department of justice, he has a colleague, friend and patron called the president, and he has his own reputation which will be challenged by allegations of perjury, and he has to protect all three. he may find himself in a position where he is not able to protect all three, and for that reason i have been arguing this is an imprudent -- i say this with deference and respect, he's a very smart lawyer. your next guest or a guest coming up in this half hour knows him very well in law enforc

. >> ill hear an argument this morning the rental lynch. >> mr. chief justice may i have please the court. the united states constitution does not confer citizenship on anyone outside the united states. it is for congress to determine which categories of such person should be granted u.s. citizenship by statute. in doing so congress has always required that the persons involved have a demonstrated in sufficient connection to the united states either in themselves or through their parents to warrant the control of citizenship because citizenship carries with it writes on the part of the individual and important duties of protection on part of the united states government. this concerns the framework under the nationality act of 1952 as originally enacted for granting citizenship for persons outside of the united states as of the date of their birth. other provisions still with things later in life. in particular, this case concerns the granting of citizenship to children born out of wedlock abroad. the situation in which this court's cases make cle

. >> and were you aware that mrs. lynch had been requested numerous times to appoint a special counsel and had refused? >> yes, from i think congress had -- members of congress had repeatedly asked, yes, sir. >> yours truly did on multiple occasions. and that heightened your concerns about the appearance of a conflict of interest with the department of justice, which caused you to make what you have described as an incredibly painful decision to basically take the matter up yourself and led to that july press conference. >> yes, sir. after former president clinton met on the plane with the attorney general, i considered whether i should call for the appointment of a special counsel and decided that that would be an unfair thing to do because i knew there was no case there. we had investigated it very, very thoroughly. i know this is a subject of passionate disagreement, but i knew there was no case there and calling for the appointment of special counsel would be brutally unfair because it would send the message, aha, there

mr. clinton meets with loretta lynch on the tarmac? were those memorialized?hy was this treated differently? >> i think as purview of the senate intel committee on the russia investigation, they should talk about issues that have nothing to do with it? >> no, i think context is important. right? >> come on. that's a political talking point. we know it. it has nothing to do with the russia investigation. >> you don't think the american people would like to know key conversations with mr. comey and senior justice department officials that took place around the event of loretta lynch meeting with bill clinton on the tarmac three days before the scheduled interview of secretary clinton? >> i certainly think it is important. i covered it to death. what i'm saying it is comey has talked about it. he came in front of the country and said that meeting pre-accept tated the need to come out and protect the investigation. you know that this is supposed to be about the russia investigation. it is interesting, congress member, you are choosing to prioritize something that

, i think a lot of people were caught by surprise loretta lynch actually went to the fbi director and director was concerned, former director mr. comey, that what lynch was doing could give the impression that the department of justice was aligning with the clinton campaign. listen to that exchange, when we the public first learned that loretta lynch had gone to the former fbi director. here's the sound bite. >> let me go back if i can very briefly to the decision to publicly go out with your results on the email. was your decision influenced by the attorney general's tarmac meeting with the former president bill clinton? >> yes. in a ultimately conclusive way. that was the thing that capped it for me, i had to do something separately. >> were there other things that contributed to that you can describe in an open sessn? >> probably the only other consideration, i guess can talk about in open setting at one point the attorney general directed me not to call it an investigation but instead to call it a matter, which confused me and concerned me. reporter: then of course, there was the purpose of this hearing which had to do wit

laura lynch was and she had the meeting with mr. clinton when his wife is under invitation.ust because understand and have education does not mean you have good judgment in which your actions are great i do think everybody makes samples. you can correct them. on the other hand, not talk about criminal case. if you're going to bethe present united states , or separate estate or occupy office, you have a moral obligation to study and master what your official position entails. if you do not want to be there, and you do not have to be there. like harry truman said if you cannot stand heat get out of the kitchen. >>armstrong: how important you think it is that he is finally getting his wife back in his house together? >> i have not thought about that. it is an interesting question. hopefully she will have a calming influence on trump. maybe she can convince him to put the phone down and stop tweeting every once a while. >>armstrong: spend bemore time with her in the morning. >> yes. stop watching fox news. >>armstrong: maybe that's why he does it because she sat there he was abl

lynch. we learned the former attorney general, approached then fbi director mr. comey regarding investigation of the hillary clinton email scandal and bill clinton's meeting with loretta lynch at the airport aboard lynch's aircraft in phoenix? she asked him not to call it an investigation lynch asked, but call it a matter. there was the whole thing about mr. comey actually coordinating the leak of his memo, via a friend to "the new york times." there was the accusation he said, that the fbi was in disarray. the trump administration said that was the reason they were firing mr. comey. he called that just outright lies. of course "the new york times" and many other media reporting getting coverage of russia investigation in mr. comey's words, dead wrong. but this exchange about a tweet the president had made regarding the recording of conversations and that you better hope there aren't tapes, well here is what mr. comey said about that. >> why didn't you stop and say, mr. president, this is wrong? i can not discuss this with you. >> that's a great question. maybe if

mr. comey said, thing is the recent headline from the testimony and the reports is that the clinton-lynchg was the tip of the iceberg when it came to the justice department and the ability to fairly -- or investigate mrs. clinton in a fair way. liz: democrats like senator dianne feinstein saying comey's discussion with lorraetta lynch is troubling, makes her queasy, too. >> to be fair to ms. lynch, the fbi director comes in, assuming the account is accurate and there's this accusation that she was going to put the kibosh and maybe she was angry at having her ethics questioned and told him to get the heck out of office, but that's why ms. lynch should testify and comey should testify and bill clinton should testify. liz: gotta go. but the idea of the grand jury, it was about the blackberry service providers at the tail end. it wasn't a big impanelled grand jury into hillary clinton, right, tom? >> quickly. grand jury subpoenas that got documents. no one went before grand juries and testified. liz: my panel is here to react after this. [vo] when it comes to investing, looking from a fresh p

lynch. there are plenty saying mr. comey didn't come off as well as he could have. >> that is certainly true. i've been a defender of jim comey's over the years. i think he is somebody of integrity until yesterday. leaking that memo about private conversations with the president of the united states for political purposes to make himself look good and the president look bad. that's an incredibly irresponsible and possibly illegal definitely unethical thing to have done. i think the president and his team going to be filing these complaints today against jim comey are appropriate. >> shannon: we're talking about the justice department inspector general and senate judiciary committee. what fruit could come of those? >> i don't know the answers to where -- what the outcome could be. he is no longer an employee of the f.b.i. i think that has bearing on that. i want to just go back to susan collins for a moment. that was a great interview just a moment ago where she talked about how she was stunned by that line of questioni

mr. comey testified then attorney general general lynch asked then fbi director to call it a matter not annvestigation as a result you heard senator graham saying miss lynch should testify before senate judiciary committee. should she? has the attorney general's position become politically compromised? >> you know, i -- i think it would behoove the nation to have miss lynch a private citizen testify in public i think everybody and this point involved, in these kinds of charges needs to lay out the instead of relying on reporting he said she said allegations i think we need each major players in past two years of drama to kind of lay out facts tell us their side of the story so american people can make an independent judgment. now there is not as far as i know an open investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails therefore loretta lynch has no personal vulnerability or let me jeopardy by testifying unlike attorney general sessions may really have a problem if it is perceived that he lied to the senate about his contacts with you rurn you rurngs standards different let's just hear from player

mr. comey had regularly done this, what about ledbetter lynch? what about all these other meetings? if he is going to produce memos about one specific meeting, then we would like to see all of them. i think we need to ask director comey why is it that you testified, i believe was on may 3rd, and front of the senate judiciary that there was no political influence that was being implemented here and why -- she's going to contradict himself. >> harris: do you think they'll get the answer in open forum? >> jason: come on, that's what you're frustrated about is it will be in a classified situation. you can't -- he testified, there is no political influence and the acting fbi director more recently testified that he has seen no evidence of any political influence. >> harris: why do you think they are doing both, a public and private? i understand the protocol of it, but i know you have thoughts about james comey. >> meghan: i can't stand him. i haven't been able to for a long time. i have very little faith that there will be things that we all find out from this. this is already scripted.

mr. comey: yes, a possible step. >> were you aware that loretta lynch had been approached to do that but refused? mr. comey: yes, sir. members of congress did ask. >> yes, yours truly. concern that your caused you to make what you described as incredibly painful decision to basically take the matter up yourself, and led to that july press conference. sir.omey: yes, at the -- after former president clinton met with the attorney general, i considered whether i should call for the appointment of a special counsel sir. at i decided that would be unfair to do because i, knew there was no case. we investigated very thoroughly. i know this is a subject of passion disagreement, but i knew there was no case and calling for special counsel would be unfair because it was in the message, there is something here. that was my judgment again. if a special counsel had been appointed, they could've made that determination that there was nothing there, and declined to pursue it, right? mr. comey: sure, but it would be many months or year later. to come ajust ask you given experience of the clinton nemo inv

of this today, there was also the acknowledgment that loretta lynch, the former attorney general under president obama actually went to mr. comey when he was fbi director and instructed him not to refer to the investigation of bill clinton's meeting with loretta lynch at the airport in phoenix. not to call it an investigation but to call it a matter. the problem with that according to mr. comey was that he was concerned it would show the department of justice aligned with the clinton campaign. trish: yeah, we have news crossing right now. we are hearing from trump's lawyer, mr. telling reuters that the president never asked james comey for his loyalty. so this indeed is part of the fiction. he never asked for loyalty. he never said i need loyalty. this is coming from mark. he's going to be speaking momentarily there. you see the live picture coming in, but that is a big headline just crossing right now. i do want to point out that we here at the intelligence report did ask daniel richmond, the law professor at columbia university that james comey sent his memos on, asked him to come on for a interview, and he said sorry.

have been good to have a special counsel in the fast and furious investigation, or as loretta lynch and mr. comey like to use to deceive people, matter, fast and furious matter, because truth is, they didn't do much of an investigation. we saw emails indicating that there was an effort to try to use getting those guns into the hands of criminals, drug artels, as an excuse to take away law-abiding americans' second amendment rights. and continue to pursue that effort. we also know that the i.r.s. had people who were working to prevent conservatives from having an effect in the 2012 election the way they did in 2010. as the movement was growing, the obama administration used the i.r.s. as a political weapon to disarm those who would bring together funds and try to defeat president obama in his second term. that certainly deserved a special counsel since all we seem to get in our investigations from congress' angle was a coverup and it harkens us back to the clinton administration when this tactic was discovered by people within the clinton administration. if ou just cover things up, you just

mr. speaker, do you think it will be appropriate for the senate judiciary committee to subpoena former attorney general loretta lynch? the speaker: i am not going to comment on what they're doing. that's not even in our -- yeah. reporter: i was going to ask you -- knowing how hard it was for you to pass the house bill, health care plan, was there any red flags when you were briefed on the bill that came to your attention and you thought, hey, my members, i will lose -- the speaker: no, i haven't seen any of that yet. like i said, i know how hard it is to pass a bill like this. what was helpful to us that we didn't have senate leadership playing quarterback with us. the last thing i want to do is play arm shirt quarterback with them. i will respect their process. i won't opine on the microdetails. i haven't read through all of the bill myself. i was briefed on the basic contents. but what's important is that they pass their bill, that we get this process going so we can keep our promise. >> last question. reporter: can you tell us more about scalise? can you tell us a little bit more about mr. scalise? the speaker: w

mr. speaker, do you think it will be appropriate for the senate judiciary committee to subpoena former attorney general loretta lynch? speaker ryan: i am not going to comment on what they're doing. that's not even in our -- yeah. reporter: i was going to ask you , knowing how hard it was for you to pass the house bill, health care plan, was there any red flags when you were briefed on the bill that came to your attention and you thought, hey, my members, i will lose -- speaker ryan: no, i haven't seen let less helpful to us, we did not have senate leadership playing armchair quarterback. i want to respect their process. i will not opine on the micro details. all theot read through details myself. i have been briefed on the basic contents. blitzer point is that they pass the bill. that we get the process going. >> last question. can you tell us a little bit more about mr. scalise? >> we are not going to be the ones commenting on his health prognosis or progress other than to say i had a great meeting with steve this morning. he's bright, he told her. he just wanted to go through the other -- agenda. he wanted to go t
