how did george papadopoulos and carter page interact with different members who are associated with the u.s. government at some level, such as a former cambridge professor stefan hopper? those reactions are what devin nunez has been scrutinizing for months. the fbi maintains it's acted in all proper ways since the origin of the russia investigation going back to george papadopoulos' conversation with the ambassador and the talk of the clinton emails. they have said from the beginning these fisa warrants are based on evidence, based on conduct. but carter page and george papadopoulos talking constantly on television have said they felt almost trapped with how the government handled the investigation. that's what the attorney general was referencing today. if he's seeing that as a legitimate argument, that's what he's pursuing. that's why it matters. >> frank figliu sdplrkszzi, you response to that. >> i invite any attorney general in the operations, so let's bring him on and see what he finds. he'll be redundant unless he has completely gone over to the trump side. then the truth will co

george papadopoulos is here live, we learned from the mueller report, he is connecting the dots over potential setup. team coverage tonight, trace gallagher looking into the booming economy and how democrats plan to run against it. new signs the democratic primary could turn really nasty really quickly. >> reporter: a new candidate every day. there are as many democratic candidates for president as there are players on an nhl team. this is training camp and every man and woman must fight for a roster spot in the primary battle. if you want to know ahead, look who is getting hit the hardest by their own party. joe biden out of touch with the center of energy in the democratic party, a tweet from progressive group justice democrats. elizabeth warren got snarky one reporter pointed out biden brought in more campaign cash in a day than she did in the first quarter. in an email to supporters she wrote how did joe biden raise so much money in one day? it helps that he hosted a swanky private fundraiser for wealthy donors at the home of the guy who runs comcast lobbying shot. bernie sanders

. >> not the president. >> i've never met george papadopoulos. >> you said no crimes were charged. 33 people -- >> that had already happened before the mueller report. >> the mueller report was excruciatingly disappointing for many people who were hoping mueller would finish the job -- >> you said there were no criminal charges. >> i like volume two, page one, the russia investigation unsuccessful in influencing the election result. >> they also said the campaign -- >> i would never have talked to a russian knowingly and i was talking to people -- >> but people in the campaign talked to russians knowingly. >> i think that's important. not donald trump and not a lot of folks who are close to him. >> jared kushner, donald trump jr. >> that's all in the mueller report. what is the result of that? no crime, no criminal conspiracy, no collusion, no help from the russians that amounted to anything. i think people are upset with mueller and his investigators, people banking on them to do their partisan bidding. mr. mueller, as you've all held him up, non-partisan, conclusive, and the mueller

for example, look about the parts about george papadopoulos.bout an hour and and a half if you days ago. and you know, when it comes out that he will be only trump foreign policy team, people just start approaching him. people start approaching him so why does somebody approached him and say you need to meet this maltese professor who is then going to tell him that he knows a lot about russia and the russians have dirt on hillary clinton. >> people coming up to papadopoulos. doesn't make them curious about what's going on? we know that the fbi used a man named stefan halper. they wiretapped carter page and you think should we know more about how this got started? and cloak and dagger sort of way? and maybe, maybe bill barr will figure it out. >> so many in the media don't care. the senior level of the democrat party doesn't care. they are so set on getting the president of the united states, these are tactics, your infiltrating another campaign for really no reason. now we know there's absolutely no reason. you're trying to gin up the collision

they put papadopoulos right in the middle of a typical counterintelligence dirty trick.ou can smell that if you know anything about this business. mueller knows a lot about this business. why didn't he investigated? he didn't want to look for the truth. he wanted to look to national trump. i don't blame bob, i blame bob for being asleep at the switch. he had a bunch of bad people doing this. he wasn't supervising them. he was like "the wizard of oz." he was behind a screen somewhere and they were doing all the dirty work. >> jason: i think it is important and why we some point figure out what did they actually know, there was no collusion out there because there never was, at any point, and how long they let this drag on. let me ask you about this counter report that you are working on and coming out with next week. what should we expect? what is going to be in here? >> first of all, we are going to put it out when we think it's necessary. we didn't think it was necessary at the end of this week because everything was answered. we got a lot to go here, we've got this tes

when you go to the papadopoulos section, i'm talking about this alone, on the papadopoulos section, theyeave out the fact that joseph mifsud had deep connections to western intelligence too. look it up on google. there's pictures with u.k. intelligence people. on the trump tower meeting, they leave out that the russian lawyer who shows up was working for the same company working for hillary clinton. this obstruction thing is a joke. the president is fully vindicated. any rational person reading that knows it. >> jesse: rudy giuliani said earlier that the russian lawyer met with fusion gps, the dossier authors, the day before the trump tower meeting, the day of in the day after. must have been a coincidence. greg, you've been going to report all day i know. >> greg: no. i haven't read it. you know what, i'm never going to read it. i swear i'm never going to read it. this is not news to me. if you were conscious on march 24, you already knew, that was called a spoiler alert when you were told there was no collusion and no obstruction. this is the second time around for me and it feels pret

who cast him to covertly meet lee meet with papadopoulos, carter page, sam clovis? uberit who recruited him from te federal government? if any of this started before july 31st, the alleged beginning of the investigation, we need to know when it started, and we need to know this big question. what did he know?no what that president obama know? when did he know it? all of this happened under his watch.re here's what i predict is coming in the days, weeks, months ahead. we will get answers for all of these pressing questions. they hate trump media mob democrats, deep state, they will get burned with a barrage, an avalanche of truth and evidence, the likes of which they have no idea isom coming. they don't want to know. joining us now, white house press secretary sarah sanders. sarah, your general reaction to all of us first, you were being attacked today also. >> secretary sanders: i think the white house is in a great position and what we have been saying for the last two and half years is finally, i think, totally vindicated. the president is completely exonerated, n

joining me, george papadopoulos. welcome. >> thank you. kennedy: so, term spying, created a confligeration in congress this week, being the targets of a large part of this investigation, was there spying? >> without a doubt. you know, i witnessed it first hand, business associates and colleagues of my who were interviewed by fbi, when they were being harassed, they were presented with surveillance photos of me, while i was on the campaign, walking around, so fbi was tailing me. and i was told i had a fisa warrant issued on me, and you know there was foreign government spyogamy other people on the campaign, so president is right, it did happen. and probably will shock a lot of americans when it is fully released. kennedy: what are you expecting. >> mueller does not want to expose, methods and technique and sources that went on into the set ups. inform mainformants, he will sth what he said, russian interfering, some guys around trump remember compromised that is nonsense. kennedy: you say that you were a means to an end, people like joseph

they claim it is george papadopoulos being fingered by my old pal, alexander downer, the australian highioner to the u.k. i've known him on and off for 15 years. the fact is, to put it in andy mccarthy terms, not only do they not have anything beyond a reasonable doubt, not only does it not meet the civil standard of a preponderance of the evidence, they have no probable cause for launching this thing. >> tucker: exactly. >> that ought to deserve every single -- they had a nobody, george papadopoulos, having a set of drink and a london wine bar, and on the basis of that, they destroy carter page's life, george papadopoulos' life, this is disgraceful, and the idea of the government o investigating s political opposition, that is venezuela. if it moves to washington, we are all in big trouble. >> sean: totally wrecked anm entire term of the presidency and overturned the will of voters. you are right. >> tucker: you were dead on right about that. so depressing, i am glad we can ignore it forever afterwards. great to see you, mark steyn. great to see you. thank you. out of time tonight. we'l

we know of stephon halper and his contacts that he made with papadopoulos and carter page and sam clovis. we know about the fisa warrant, as the grassley-graham memo said, the bulk of the information in the application was the clinton bought and paid for russian, of all things, dossier, ignored by the mueller report, which i willss ask you about in a second here. but those are two specific incidents of attempts to get into your campaign. your reaction to all of that? >> president trump: well, i think they made many attempts. and then you see the lying and you see the leaking and you see comey lied congress. nothing happened. you see him leaking. nothing happens. and this is leaking classified information. this is leaking really big stuff. i remember the young sailor. in fact, i helped him out with his family because he was so unfairly treated, as you know. i remember he had a confidential information which is a much, much lower standard than classified. and they put him in jail for a long time. they took away his life. and then you look at what hillary clinton did with 33,000 emails and

they have no nobody, george papadopoulos with a setup drink in a london wine bar, they destroy carteraige's life, george pop on dop loss, this is dis -- papadopoulos' life, and the idea of the government investigating its political opposition is venezuela. if it moves to washington, we're all in big trouble. >> tucker: totally wrecked an entire term of the presidency, overturned the will of voters. >> absolutely, you were dead-on right about that. >> tucker: so depressing that i'm hope being can ignore it forever after. thank you, mark steyn, great to see you. thank you. >> real news tomorrow, tucker. >> tucker: great to see you, thank you. out of time tonight we will be back tomorrow night. back back tomorrow night, 8:00 p.m., a brand new world russia. will always be the end group thing. we'll see you in our post-russia world tomorrow night. in the meantime, we're going to bring you over to new york city, sean hannity. takes over. >> sean: tucker, anything going on today? >> tucker: it's making me so mad, i can barely -- i can't even talk about russia anymore. >> sean: you need to go

do you think that papadopoulos getting at information from the maltese undercover guy, do you think that was accidental? come on. american intelligence, foreign intelligence -- >> you're painting -- you're painting generated this idea that the russians hacked and stole this material, the russians -- these are facts. >> i'm not saying they didn't. >> okay. but you are creating -- you're going off into another diction. >> no. i'm going to the following direction. any responsible direction other than the prosecutor would have followed. whenou find out the information is untrue about the man you're investigating, you turn around and investigate how did it happen. i've had investigations like that. i had one during the commission where two police officers were falsely accused. when i found out they were falsely accused, i found out the reason why they were falsely accused. eller has no interest in that. he has no interest in the fact the people in the meeting in june 9, they met with thehe hea of gps, promoting the steele dossier, the day before, the day of, and the day after. >> and donald t

this didn't come from papadopoulos.e met with a guy in italy who was a counter intelligence operative. this guy tells him oh, the russians have dirt on hillary. a month later another guy, australian operative walks up to him in london and gives the information to him and then they record it as if it comes from papadopoulos. but it was fed to papadopoulos. i don't know, chris. sounds like a counter intelligence trap to me. where does it go back before that? i have my suspicions. >> are you suggesting the whole thing was a setup from the start by intelligence officials to frame donald trump? >> i don't know who. it wasn't an accident that this man fed him the information and ran somebody into him to pick it up. i don't have sufficient evidence telling you anything beyond that except -- all i have beyond that are a couple of hypothesis. we'll have to see if a good investigation can ferret that out. i think they'll find something. >> sandra: all right. we can thank rudy giuliani at this point. the president's personal attor

obviously george papadopoulos has now pleaded guilty. he's gone to jail for a few days. we know -- we don't know anything about that, so it's clear that they did not get to a decision to be able to charge him, but it really does show the extent of this investigation, that this document again describes also four sets of allegations against michael flynn involving -- michael flynn and his activity as the national security adviser for the president. this is a vast investigation obviously that went on for two years, wolf, and it's clear that they looked at everything. >> all right. evan perez, thank you so much. let's go back to the panel and talking about specifically the reason why the obstruction of justice attempts by president trump failed, if one agrees that it was obstruction of justice, because it's very clear that the individuals surrounding president trump protected him. >> saved him. >> whether they were doing so to protect him or to protect the country or protect some sort of principle. they did so, and this is just quoting from the report. the president's effort

as soon as people saw their name -- even though i didn't meet carter page and papadopoulos i actually sat at a table with him for about 15 minutes and that was it. i never spoke to him or anything. and they were -- you know, they have suffered a lot. i don't see that they were not foolish because, you know, the tway all happened was so crazy. but they were hit like very few people have ever been hit. that was really to get to me. that was to get to the campaign. they started using them in order to spy on our campaign. it would look like, i mean, again, it will come out at some point so i don't want to be the one to say. but to me it seems to be pretty obvious when you look at what happened with carter page and it's -- they were spying, the attorney general said it better than anybody the other day when he was asked yes, i think they were spying on the trump campaign. you can't say it any better than that. and i think so, too. >> sean: mr. president, i have to ask you about the new green deal biden and the media. one last, last question. will you declassify the fisa applications, gang

the whole situation with papadopoulos to a trained investigator is extremely unbelievably suspicious. the man is given a piece of information. >> the russians have nt cl hillary clinton's emails. >> by a maltese counter intelligence guy. >> okay. >> he repeats it a month later to an australian guy with a shady background, big contributor to hillary clinton even though he's an australian. >> you can't contribute to -- >> i think he's a citizen now, not illegal. raised money for her, helped to get money, to the foundation, i'm sorry. >> to the clinton foundation? >> to the foundation. >> can i ask you a question -- >> wait, i want to finish an important thought. that man is told the same information missoud gave him. all it says is the russians -- >> -- have information they have emails from hillary clinton. >> it was true and it was an attack on the united states. >> it doesn't justify an investigation of donald trump as candidate for president of the united states. there is right now as much evidence that obama may have known about the steele dossier and affidavits as trump might have
