now we know that the scope of the investigation was to look at carter page, flynn, papadopoulos, and manadort as te working with the russians, this was august of 2017. you nailed it in january 2017. the sub source disavowed the dossier and without the dossier there is no warrant. so they knew that the carter page thing was a fraud. january the 4th, 2017, the fbi field office wanted to close the case against flynn. we've got papadopoulos on record denying working with the russians, saying to do so would tbe treason. so the foundation for the mueller investigation is crumbling. >> sean: slow down, lindsey i want to focus on the timeline here. this scope memo, this is august of 2017. now wewe are up to the fourth ft application. let's stay on the dates for one second. the only source for this had to be steele. for the scope memo and the final renewal, the third renewal, the fourth warrant, byir that time they knew back in february of 2017 that it was russian disinformation and there was only one source and the source was steele. they knew it was b.s. months earlier. the question, senato

they abused their power against low-level aides like george papadopoulos. they abuse their power in filing at pfizer applications to survey all carter page. and they abuse their power in the lying on a russian dossier funded by the clinton campaign even when they could not verify its claims. fbi director comey abused his power, and the entire flynn saga as well. so an acting attorney general sally gates who allowed an interview with the president's new nsa chief to go forward and of course there was the cricket fbi agent peter strzok and his insurance policy that he mentioned to his lovebird lisa page. they went after him on a pretext, they already knew he had spoken with the russian ambassador because they had the call transcript but they set up this interview in hopes that he would step into a perjury trap. one former fbi head of intel noted before the flynn meeting revealed last week, they showed just that. this was the only justice that could have been handed down. here now, a man who was with flynn from the campaign to transition and who sat face-to-fa

. >> sean: what they did to general flynn, george papadopoulos, roger stone, paul manafort, it was all a means to an end based on russian lies. they didn't care that they ruined a 33 year veteran's life or his family's life, these bad actors, they wanted to undo your election, your, meaning we the american people at all costs. the mob and the media were all cheering it on, wrongly, every step of the way. this is the tip of the iceberg, let's take a look. >> did flynn go rogue when he spoke to russia? >> that would be a bigger scandal than almost anything we've ever seen and any presidential administration. >> breaking news, "abc news" brian ross is reporting michael flynn promised full cooperation to the mueller team and is prepared to testify that as a candidate donald trump directed him to make contact with the russians, yes! >> we're going to hear back to michael flynn's guilty plea, it's made it a historic day in d.c. >> the fact is michael flynn betrayed his country. >> michael flynn betrayed the nation. >> sean: michael flynn did nothing wrong, where are the apologies, where does

it details criminal allegations against carter page, paul manafort, george papadopoulos and michael flynn, now the chairman of the senate judiciary committee, lindsey graham is reacting. >> the legal foundation for mueller's deployment is complete, i was a democrat would take this seriously. i supported the mueller investigation because i didn't know. now i know why mueller didn't find anything. >> reporter: fox news learning transcripts from health intelligence committee interviews show top intelligence officials affirming they had no evidence of collusion between the trump campaign and russia during the 2016 election this after house republicans sought 6000 page the transcript conducted by the committee in 2017-18. a senior official tells fox news that the house until committee chairman is in panic mode. we will see if anything else becomes declassified. there is a suggestion that we may. rob: more on that in 10 minutes donald trump raising american warriors forced to make social and economic sacrifices during this pandemic. >> as the white house plans to point their progress, several s

this was the same clapper who set papadopoulos up. it was called operation razor.ew fbi notes show flynn was clean and field agents wanted to close the file on him. but flynn was days away from having access to the nation's secrets and would have sniffed out spygate. that's when james comey sprung into action. the incoming national security advisor for trump. lame duck obama just slapped sanctions on russia. so flind called the russian ambassador and among many other things told them not to slap sanctions back on the united states. nothing illegal about that conversation. but someone in the obama administration leaked a transcript of the classified phone call to "the washington post" fan created a sketchy russian cloud of smoke around flynn. james comey uses the leaked conversation as an excuse to send fbi agents into the white house and set flynn up. comey even bragged about it. >> you look at this white house now and it's hard to imagine two fbi agents ending up in the white house how did that happen. >> i sent them. it's something that wouldn't have gotten done

hour i'll speak to george papadopoulos, the president sounding off the alarm on fisa abuse.ries with nancy grace host, nancy grace is here, on the university of connecticut student accused of two homicides. martha stewart living omni leader follower, martha stewart with me on the future of retail following this pandemic. don't miss it. two big hours coming up. first, hong kong protesters storm the streets overnight. president trump threatening new sanctions against the communist party as beijing moves to take control of hong kong. and controversy in virginia as the state makes face masks mandatory in all public indoor areas, not everybody's on-board with that. back in a moment. (vo) since our beginning, our business has been people. and their financial well-being. it's evident in good times, with decisions focused on the long-term. and crucial when circumstances become difficult. that continued emphasis on people - our advisors, associates, clients and communities gives us purpose, strength and a way forward. today. and always. >> can you tell us what you plan to do regardin

we are going to set up a guy like papadopoulos?he long answer is i think we are getting to the truth. we have people committed to justice. jesse, there is can't happen in the united states of america. it can't or we don't have a country. if we allow this to happen again, this abuse of power, and people are going to be silent because they have a political agenda, then america as we know it dies. and we can't allow that to happen. but i believe we are getting to the bottom of it. barr, durham. there are good people who committed their lives to finding the truth. jesse: and i think it's going to happen. and i'm confident there will be justice. sean, thanks for making sure everybody knows about this story and we'll keep peeling back that onion. >> thank you. it's all hands on deck for the country. jesse, the democrats say they care about obstruction. they ignored hillary's deleted and destroyed emails. they will care about due process, they ignored fisa applications that were built on, well, what we now know to be lies that were unveri

flynn and george papadopoulos, a volunteer on the campaign.n more significant is what we know about the president and the fact he was involved from the get-go and was have much in the middle of this and they were disappointed putin did not react to the sanctions obama put on them. so the issue of russia collusion, the pot started stirring. nunes it seems along with jordan had a handle on this right at the beginning. >> yes, indeed they did. what we are firing out is the things they were saying from their investigation there in the house were indeed direct. and as you said, they got away with this to a point. they created this story. they decided this what they were going to use to set up this entrapment. and it didn't work. they hate donald trump so much, they created this. as lindsey graham said to you earlier, what we can doth the senate is expose what transpired. dur & reported that is a criminal investigation. and judge, i have to tell you reading from -- look at the rod rosen seen memo, his response. one of the things this showed to me wh

papadopoulos, they don't care. look at your screen. there are corrupt government officials, look at them. who could face really serious crimes because they finally got caught. they almost got away with all of it. no on one in the media mob is pursuing justice, they lied and got it wrong for three and a half years. we are not patting ourselves on the back, i wish i was wrong frankly. for the sake of our kids and grandkids and our country. they have shredded the constitution the whole time. the only thing they seem to care about is bludgeoning trump. they want the election to be won in 179 days. joining us now author of the book built by accusation, alan dershowitz. florida congressman matt gaetz. repressor, we will start with you. anything i am saying that's wrong? is there hyperbole here? >> you remember i was on your show two years ago, i predicted the flynn case will be thrown out. i said he hasn't committed a crime at all. the answers he gave were not material to any legitimate investigation, and now "the new york times" announcing

didn't happen and then, of course, george papadopoulos as well.e was on the record in, what, 2016 saying that he -- that there was nothing there and why were four individuals outlined in mueller memo? maria: because they were easy low-hanging fruit, they just we wanted to get a window into the trump campaign to try to get somebody on something, so they had a completely open-ended investigation that they wanted robert mule the other lead hoping he found something rand he did not. by the way, adam schiff and john brennan, they really need to be looked at, john brennan led the office of net assessments and that was the office paying all of the informants like stefan who got millions of dollars writing report and paying to run into informants and like what happened with george papadopoulos where someone told him russia has hillary clinton's emails hoping that he would pass that on. adam schiff went on television for 2 years, 2 years and told the world that there's, quote, collusion in plain sight, there needs to be accountability. adam schiff and john

and to investigate papadopoulos for being an agent of israel. the timeline is key. when this memo was written of august and 2017, they already knew that the steel dossier was the bunk. they already knew. they knew it in january of that year. now, there's only one source for the dirty dossier. and that was christopher steel. by august of 2017, they have long known that this was all russian disinformation. in fact, they do this by the winter of 2017. because we now know from the ig advisor report that the primary report question the reliability of the report. when the bureau talked to the primary sub source, again, january 2017. this order goes out in august of that year. the source told them that the eight dossier was full of and misinformation and lies. and misstated or exaggerated the primary su sub sources statemen. they had reason to know that there was no good faith to ever move forward. and here we are eight months later, and they are still using the dirty dossier. and don't forget the fbi had no derogatory information on flynn. they were ready to close that in

allegations that dud not exist -- did not exist against carter page, paul manafort, george pop papadopouloschael flynn and a still unidentified fifth person. senate judiciary committee chairman lindsey graham finally getting his head on straight. he drew this conclusion: >> there was no legitimate reason to believe any of these four were working with the russians on august the 2nd, 2017. therefore, the entire mueller investigation was illegitimate to begin with. that's very important. lou: very important. and tom fitton, the president of judicial watch, joins us now. he has called for the dismissal of this case, a pardon, whatever it took to get flynn free of this frame-up. tom, good to have you with us. you have been absolutely tire he is in your defense of -- tireless in your defense of flynn and criticism of the justice department and fbi. how do you feel tonight about general flynn with his, ostensibly at least at this point, off his back? >> well, god bless america and god bless general flynn. this is vindication for general flynn. it's a vindication for folks like you, lou, and judici

that is when i saw exculpatory information on george papadopoulos.hat is when i saw for the very first time that it was the trump campaign mentioned in that predicate document. they had been telling us all along trump is not the target. the campaign is not the target soon yes, my mistake was relying on the word of the fbi and the doj and not insisting on the documents. luckily, it took me three weeks to correct that mistake. >> tucker: so that was in march, july, which of course many months later, you said the investigation it is not a witch hunt. you said pointblank, it is not a witch hunt. but of course, it was a witch hunt by definition. when did that dawn on you? >> tucker, if you think about thetc four points, number one, what did russia do? i am convinced that russia tried to interfere with the fundamentals of our democracy. point number one, what did russia do, number two with whom if anyone? i was down there for almost every witness interview and i asked the question, and the answer is no one with the trump campaign did anything with russia.

i also see that you have mccabe told you that they did not have any evidence tying greg papadopoulosrussia. he said the unverified dossier, they would not get the fisa application. you ask samantha power about her role as u.n. ambassador, and if, for example, it would be the same as ambassador rice. why did she unmask all these people? because you called her the largest unmask her in u.s. history. do you get any good answers? we will keep them up on the screen as we get you to answer. why did she? >> i will tell you, samantha power's explanation ought to scare the hell out of you, which is she said, i did not make those requests. somebody on my team may have made them, but i did not make them. keep in mind, somebody unmasks chmichael flynn's name. somebody did and gave that to president obama. it was not sally yates. she did not know anything about it. i would love for the d.c. media who loves leaks. they live on leaks. i wish somebody would leak who told them that president obama, michael flynn's name was in that transcript. >> sean: did anyone that you have interviewed, and i was l

if you want to go back too quickly something john said, george papadopoulos not wiretapped under fisarter page according to the president wasn't irrelevant nobody per that's who they messed up thereby the warrant on and nothing about that came out until after the election. if this was a coup, this was the most incompetent whoever. >> shannon: will wait for the durham investigation or reports -- whatever it's called, we will wait till late summer. all right. for the second time in as many weeks, former president obama is taking thinly veiled shots at his successor who is, as you know, not afraid to fire back. correspondent jackie henry takes a closer look at all of this. good evening, jackie. >> good evening, shannon picked it wasn't billed as a campaign event, but president obama's commencement address hit president trump hard as he is former vp aimed to knock trump out of the white house. former president barack obama issued a formally >> doing what feels good, what's convenient, that's how little kids think. a lot of so-called grown-ups, some with fancy titles and important jobs, st

mueller was also told to look into carter page, paul manafort, and george papadopoulos to determine whether any of them colluded with russia in the 2016 election. senator lindsey graham who requested the scope memo says mueller's appointment had no legal justification because it was based on a disavowed dossier on the trump campaign and that flynn have been cleared by the fbi before agents, including peter strzok, insisted on interviewing him. >> the legal foundation for mueller's employment is crumbling so now we know that the scope of the investigation was to look at carter page, flynn, papadopoulos, and manafort as to whether or not they were working with the russians. >> on the coronavirus, the white house today confirming the first case of covid-19 inside the west wing. one of president trump's military valets falling ill on tuesday and testing positive. speak i've had very little contact, personal contact with this gentleman. know who he is, good person but i've had very little contact. >> the president has six valets who handle his wardrobe and some personal needs, including serving

there were the informants who ran into campaign people like george papadopoulos and carter page, and there was the leaking and the lying, let me just ask you very quickly we've got to jump here. is leaking classified information a felony? is lying to congress a felony? tell me the answer to those things because those two things we know took place. >> well look and that's part of what you're now seeing referrals that we made that look, i think the bigger issue is the conspiracy who was doing the spying okay? let's just call that spying. who orchestrated all of this well before july 30 of 2016 that's a key date to remember. who continued the spying and decided it was okay to run all of these people into george papadopoulos and others? these are all questions that we have outstanding for john durham the good news is, i think, for this week, is that the fruits of our investigation, that the media covered up and is still covering up to this day, they are not getting passed along the law and that's what happened this week with the appointment of the prosecutor out of missouri, to come in,

doctors the jail we have some breaking news out of washington former trump campaign aide george papadopoulos has been sentenced to 14 days in jail well apparently even back then the f.b.i. director wasn't 100 percent convinced. his comments didn't particularly indicate that he was the person that had had it was interacting with the russians also who could forget the islamist steel dossier used 5 russia gate as far wide as secret proof of madeleine when you look at just what has become public some of the public information is very much in line with what is reported in that dossier and of. well as i tried to explain before there's a lot of information in this still reporting we've not been able to prove the accuracy of all the information in fact that my. ssage from the transcripts is overwhelmingly obvious i never saw any direct and perfectly evidence that the trump complain or someone in it was plotting or conspiring with the russians to meddle with the election i don't recall intelligence that they would consider evidence to that effect that i saw prior of conspiracy prior to my departure o

now we know the scope of the investigation was to look at carter, paige, lynn, papadopoulos and pault as to whether or not they were working with the russians. >> dan crenshaw in the last hour. >> they had an idea, they had a conclusion and they had a crime that they wanted to prove and they gave themselves the power to try to prove it. this is a horrible, horrible precedent to set. it goes against every foundation we have in jurisprudence and law and due process. >> that scope memo was the second of three and the third on october 20th expanded the investigation even further to include michael, rick gates as well as roger stone and some others. this kept growing and growing even though senator lindsey graham suggests the entire underlying premise for the whole thing had been disavowed. >> ed: john roberts, thanks for the update. >> sandra: health care workers across the country working tirelessly to treat patients on the front lines of this pandem pandemic. an icu nurse will be joining us on the toll that that takes on their mental health. >> it's nerve-racking and emotionally distur

papadopoulos was on tape didn't have any link to having carter page with the intelligence community prayed what crime were they looking at what of these four people done why did it take two years that's what i am going to be looking at and how is it possible that mccabe and comey did not know that in january of 2017, the key document needed to keep the warrant going against carter page, with the russian dossier had been disavowed? utility where the most high profile in the history of the fbi that it did not work its way up to the top by the way the case just fell apart? this is what i want to know. it's going to take the summer, early fall we start the first weekend in june, going to go through it very methodically were gonna talk to people that were key players in crossfire hurricane. were going to take the horwitz report and build on it, were going to try to explain to the american people how off the rails this got in how dangerous it is and make sure it never happens again. >> thank god, i know something a lot of people want to know, centigram, when do we get the $30 million of taxpayer

goes back you know months when they were looking him as at candidate, to carter and page, andd papadopoulos this is trying to get a president they did not like. if you don't believe it just look at the text-messages. elizabeth: should congress call cin susan rice? she is denying in spring 2017 she knew anything about obama thofficials doing anything surveillance. ic>> in last few hours we've ben following a disclosure by chairman of house en tel -- intelligence committee devin nunes, in final days of the obama administration, after president trump had been elected that he and the people around him may have been caught up in surveillance of foreign individuals, and their idea identities may have been disclosed. >> do you know anything about it? >> i know nothing about this i was surprised to see reports from chairman nunes on that count today.. elizabeth: she denies it but listen to senator ron johnson. your reacted. >> amid first thought when i read that declassified e-mail, why in the world was that classified? my next thought to the point you made, we didn't went what america has become s

the memo details pursuing criminal allegations against carter page, paul manafort, george papadopoulos, michael flynn and an unknown individual that is redacted, the crime involves foreign governments acting as an unregistered agent, failing to report contact with a former government as was making false statements to the fbi. now the chairman of the senate judiciary committee is reacting. >> the legal foundation is crumbling. i wish a democrat would take this seriously. i supported the mueller investigation because i didn't know. now i know why mueller didn't find anything. >> the transcript cleared for release show top intelligence officials, with the trump campaign and russia. house republicans sought earlier this week some 6000 pages of interviews conducted by the committee with 53 individuals. house intelligence committee and adam schiff is in, quote, panic mode with questions over previous statements of direct evidence, fox was told it is possible we could see more releases this week, perhaps as early as later today. >> donald trump praising people making sacrifices during the pan

but george papadopoulos, roger stone, all manafort all are betting on pardons.where this is all heading. it's all heading towards the president wiping the mueller investigation out of the history books at least as far as criminal convictions are concerned. >> thanks, to you. more news we are following right now. she's one of president trump's fiercest defenders, but the new white house press secretary kailey mcenany once called him out accused of maiblg making a racist statement. andrea kozinski, he and his team have been investigating all of this. tell us what you found out. >>. >> reporter: yes, before kaylee mcenany became president trump's most prominent and modest defenders. actually on our network a couple of times, she criticized him pretty harshly, saying he had made hateful derogatory racist statements when he launched his campaign with those comments about mexican, he made about the first campaign rally. at times, she says he didn't deserve to be polling so high and said this was not welcome rhetoric in the party. let's take a listen to one of those st

they laid a perjury trap in this case, they set a perjury trap for george papadopoulos, they knocked down paul manafort's door, they'd raided his home in the middle of the night guns drawn for tax fraud charges and they sent dozens of agents, 30 of them, tactical gear to surround the home of roger stone at 3:00 a.m. for a process crime or that the inspector suspects that comey and mccabe themselves are guilty of. they raided the house 3:00 a.m., roger stone invited cnn to film at all, he happened to be in the right place at the right time. they allegedly lied to congress. usually what they say is can you report at 8:00 a.m., that would be the way you handle that. if what is the common denominator in all this? it's president trump, they are determined to take down the administration, this president one way or another. today the president had this to say about the corrupt agents in the deep state and their cheerleaders in the mob which is 99% of the media today, take a look. >> cnn tormented him in all fairness, i really hope to see because they haven't been doing it and i appreciate t

time and time again, as if these people haven't already testified time and time again but george papadopoulos, not wiretapped under fisa, that was already addressed in the report, carter page was any relevant nobody. that is who they must of the fisa or donna nothing about that came out until after the election. this was a coup, it was the most incompetent to ever. shannon: we will await the reporter whatever it will be called by late summer so we will see. hopefully we will have more answers by then. great to have you as always. the second time in as many weeks former president obama taking thinly veiled shot that is successor who is not afraid to fire back. jackie heinrich takes a closer look at all of this. >> it wasn't billed as a campaign event that president obama's commencement address at donald trump hard as his former vp aims to knock trump out of the white house. former president barack obama issued a thinly veiled critique of the white house in a virtual commencement speech this weekend discussing the response to the coronavirus pandemic. >> doing what feels good, what is convenien

the memo as to who they should, who they should investigate, paul manafort, order page, george papadopouloscarter page must be an agent, but everyone that rod rosenstein put in the memo to mueller, this is so dirty youu want to take a shower after you talk about it. these are bad people. and the fbi has to go. >> tucker: you think? yes, we will get to that. thank you so much. the obama administration reallyo was poison. and bullied a lot of people into pretending it wasn't. michael flynn is not the only one going free. delivering the final word on the bridge gate scandal in new jersey. do you remember that? we have an update.us but thousands of elderly new yorkers died in the states nursing homes, and something the state's governor did apparently caused a lot of that. andrew cuomo scandal, and it is growing tonight. it's real too. not a fake one. a real scandal. details ahead. ♪ ♪ >> tucker: even if you are skeptical of social distancing and masks, even if you believe the mask quarantines we are living under our insane and counterproductive, it should be pretty obvious that you want to keep

carter page and george papadopoulos were looking at the agents talking to them to see if they could finding and they did not find anything in either case. than they thought it was michael flynn. and they went down the michael flynn road and they said that there was no derogatory information. whether or not there was credible evidence is the whole issue of predication for what they were doing. that is why this investigation continues as we sit here tonight. i don't know where we'll end up, but we are going to wait and see where the durham report goes. it is good to see you, thank you. i want to bring in kt mcfarland. kt mcfarland also with us tonight, serving as general flynn's deputy on the national security council, the author of "revolution trump washington and we the people." with regards to marie's point about unmasking, now we have a third attorney looking into this, john bash, she is saying, and this is a good point, that the trump administration has done tens of thousands of unmasking, so what is -- that is very typical and not unusual at all. >> except for a couple of things. fir

what about halper and what they did to papadopoulos and what they did with their raid in the manaforte or the raid with guys in tactical gear for roger stone for a process crime that the inspector general thought comey and mccabe needed to be referred on? >> we are now seeing why the investigation isn't taking as long as it has. this is wide and is deep, it involves multiple federal agencies, multiple people at each of the federal agencies all the way up to thehe white house. >> sean: oh! what did joe and barack know? loretta lynch know, when did they know it? why did susan rice go back -- they were supposed to do everything by the book. >> begin with those tweets. the white house is running this. he wants to know everything know everything. >> sean: that is correct. that would be strozk-page. they want to know everything. every step of the way. sidney, you've been doing a great job. there is a website if you want to help out general flynn. he's been railroaded. we were right the whole time. it happened in this country. it did. american starting to rebel against lockdown orders. trace

and the other part of the document talks about the papadopoulos conversations.in, that's all thirdhand. and when you look at it, there is no basis for an unprecedented spy operation against a presidential candidate. at best it was a sort of, oh, this is interesting, let's put it in the file in case something pops up. otherwise the idea that this would be a basis for a a criminal -- for a counterintelligence investigation, they were sending fbi agents into the campaign, they were trying to entrap people around trump. it led to this criminal prosecution of flynn. not that what flynn did was criminal, the prosecution itself was criminal, mind you. we see, this is a core document behind the obamagate scandal. lou: it is, and it is also as ludicrous, if you will, as the pretext for the special counsel itself. >> right. lou: it is bizarre that when we begin with comey's admission to the president in that january 5th meeting that we seeing nothing untoward or irregular or -- forget criminal -- on the part of general flynn as they try to find some way to get to presiden

. >> sean: what they did to general plan, papadopoulos, paul manafort, roger stone all a means to then pony bought and paid for russian lights and they knew they were russian lies. they didn't care that they were on day 33 year veteran's life or his family's life, these bad actors, they wanted to undo your election, yours meaning we, the american people at all cost. naturally the mob and the media, they were cheering it on wrongly every step of the way. this is just the tip of the iceberg. let's take a look. >> did flynn go rogue by the way when he spoke to russia? well. >> that would be a bigger scandal than almost anything we have ever seen in any other presidential administration. >> breaking news, abc news ryan ross is reporting michael flynn promised to the mueller team and is prepared to testify that as a candidate donald trump directed him to make contact with the russians! yes! [applause] >> the fact that michael flynn's guilty plea today and this makes this a historic day in d.c. >> the fact is michael flynn betrayed his country. >> michael flynn betrayed the nation. >> sean:
