talked to bear and a member of the european parliament at the time worked with her german colleague peter lisato implement some reforms. but liza still doesn't like the idea of a government testing agency. as often from government in i've been working on this for a long time and i believe that such an agency would not enhance product safety. but that. internal e-mails from the federal health ministry stressed the importance of patient protection but there are two other goals. established acceptance of see. certification. and faster market access. starship instant had some guy took to health ministry officials about creating a new agency. but they thought the idea of needing a license was totalitarian madness mr that's will somehow. spawn is now the federal health minister we caught up with him at an event sponsored by the pharmacy lobby but he declined to comment on allegations that the monitoring of medical devices doesn't go far enough. and we wanted to find out why he continues to support the use of private companies to test the devices. spawn has declined repeated requests for an interview

peter strzok and lisa page and all of these other people. i thought it was pretty revealing. also, the white house counsel that actually thought hillary should be indicted. information we didn't have, but we have 53 more of those, those closed-door testimonies to reveal? >> yet. there's a lot more closed-door testimony. i think probably the biggest thing, very flattering to give jim and i credit, but it's certainly a bigger team than that.iv i think what we will find is you had been roads on there. -- ben rhodes on there. he will get pinocchios for his performance today. the evidence would suggest that not only was he aware of it, but certainly the obama administration was aware of it. we know ten days after, that there was a briefing at the white house with obama's chief of staff, and so to suggest that they didn't know anything is just not accurate. >> sean: we learned in those closed-door sessions, we can't make any decisions on the hillary investigation. none whatsoever because the attorney general at the time, loretta lynch, odds matter, not an investigation. four i will

>> well, every time we get more information out about peter strzok and lisa page it goes to what theyriginally wanted to do -- prevent donald trump from becoming president, and the use and abuse of power to try and infiltrate, if you will come of the transition team of president trump and then use it to do what we anticipated from other text messages. to try and delegitimize the president. in any of the country would call it a coup when you abuse the power of the police state to basically disenfranchise or just eliminate, if you will, the acting president. that's what was being done here. >> melissa: this was part of the letter to attorney general barnett regarding this. saying, "the nature of the medications on the precise purpose of any attempt to develop relationships with trump or penn's transition team staff are not immediately clear. where these efforts tend to gain better communication between the prospective parties, or were these used as intelligence having government operations?" this is strzok. "he's the ci guide." counterintelligence. "he can assess if there are new questi

know is at the top of the fbi, there was what i call the comey cabal purity of comey, mccabe, peter strzok and lisa paige. i think these people put this whole thing together and were out to get the president. i think we also need to look at potentially john brennan and jim klapper. how far he went to the white house i do not know. what i take comfort in is what bill barr said, he will investigate this. lou: right. >> he is concerned about the spine that took place and whether it was the proper predicate for it to begin with in the first place. i think that is the key thing to look at. how high it goes we will see when mr. barr does his investigation. frankly, i think we will learn more in six weeks when michael horowitz gives us the inspector generals report that he has been working on for the past year. lou: i think congressman, you're being somewhat modest about what you already -- you have some advantage over the rest of us and we cannot wait to see what unfolds because what has occurred is a despicable, deep, the word scandal is history and we all know it. it is the question of how soon we know

peter and lisa, thank you so much. this was an excellent presentation and really practical thinking in terms of the work with other departments in the public. you know, i also will echo the calls from my fellow commissioners to have some kind of reports. human beings will say that this is a really great idea, we love the bees, we love the plants until it inconveniences us in some way personally. it's great to have less cars unless you take away my parking. so i'm lucky and live in a neighborhood with lots of open space. about five years ago, the coyotes moved in and i saw marked changes in my environment. i'm an avid gardener and there was the gofer population plummeted and the ferile cats. the hawks came back. and so these are just things that i observed being outdoors. there were more changes but my neighbors are going nuts about the coyotes. so part of what i'm suggesting, there is a culture change, change about aesthetic standards. changes of being able to live in the natural environment. that we may not be used to

you look at mccabe and comey and you look at lisa and peter strzok. this was an attempted takedown of a president and we beat them. we beat them. so the mueller report, when they talk about obstruction, we fight back. you know why we fight back? because i knew how illegal this whole thing was. it was a scam. what i am most interested in -- excuse me, what i'm most interested in is getting started, hopefully the attorney general, he mentioned it yesterday, he is doing a great job. getting started on going back to the origins of exactly where this all started. because this was an illegal witch hunt and everybody knew it. they knew it, too. and they got caught. and what they did was treason. what they did was terrible. what they did was against our constitution and everything we stand for. so hopefully that will happen. there is a hunger for that to happen in this country like i have never seen before, including all of the millions of people that voted for me. what they did was disgraceful. there has never been anything like it in the history of our coun

start with what seems to be the absolute essential question to be answered now raised by lisa page in a text to petertrzok and that is potus wants to know all that we are doing, the talking points for comey, lisa page says yes becausecomey wants to know everything we are doing . your thoughts on whether we will get to the bottom of what potus did learn, what you know and when he knew it? >> your speaking of potus obama. what we know is there was no collusion, no obstruction of justice, no wrongdoing that would warrant an impeachment or removal of any kind but we have not applied that same level of scrutiny to the people who began this utterly ridiculous witchhunt to begin with and we know why this began. it began because we allowed political dirt, opposition research written by someone who the fbi knew to be a liar to masquerade as an intelligent document, to fuel the basis of an investigation dividing the country for 22 months we spent 675 days, tens of millions of dollars investigating the president. let's apply that same level of rigor to investigating a process that was broken and by the way luke

they are hiding text messages from andrew mccabe, peter strzok and lisa page.ut there are others that are out there. you start off talking about the presidential campaign. you have to remember that the democrat party apparatus was involved in this.si the democrat national committee spent money on this effort to overthrow the president by working with russia intel. they were meeting with the fbi general counsel just shortly before the election. the lawyer for the dnc and hillaryus clinton. joe biden was in this infamous early january, 2017 over office meetingbi with barack obama and susan rice and james comey, where they all talked excitedly about the dossier just before comey was launched by obama with president trump team through the dossier. >> i think we are going to see an effort to make it seem as though joe biden was dropped in fromen the planet mars and was never involved in this. he has been involved a great deal. he is an experienced man and knows what's going on. all of us, mike, when we deal with things like this, people mention watergate. this isal

look at these newly released transcripts, closed-door testimony, even peter strzok peter strzok and lisa page, they are admitting the doj controlled all of this, breaking the clinton probed from the beginning. they knew the fix was in. so what did loretta lynch know? when did you know it? wears her emails? wears her text messages? what about national security director susanex rice? whited unmasking requests in an election year 2016 increase almost 350% under her watch? what did rice know? when did you know it? why would the u.n. ambassador, some of the powers, request, oh, 100 unmasking's and say, i didn't really request that? shee didn't, then hooted? then we got our good friend, the man who stands above it all, james comey. why did he sign off on that first fisa warrant in october of 2016? to spy on the t trump campaign associate carter page, using him for a and paid for phony russian.ca as the bulk of evidence? that means that he is signing off that it's true and accurate to the best of his knowledge. we now know it was never verified, and we all know it's unverifiable because christo

that is a text message from peter strzok to lisa page after one of the first foundational meetings aftery launched the investigation and it says, "thee white house is running this." the white house is running this. i covered law enforcement for 3n years and the white house doesn't normally run counterintelligence for justice department investigations. that text has remained in my head for a long time and over the last few weeks, i've beenat reporting, i think victoria had something to say in the last segment, january 27th there was one white house meeting and i think next week we will be talking about a meeting one year earlier where the origins of the trump collusion case begins. a whole year earlier. i guarantee you it will have been inside the white house. >> sean: you are saying it started in 2015? >> no, 2016. she was talking january, '17. january 2016, the beginning of that.ni >> sean: we know the fbi investigation began in july 2016. >> i'm going to say six months before. the effort to get trump was launched. i think next week we will be talking about some pretty interesting evide

people like peter strzok and lisa page talked all about how much they dislike this president and didn't want him to win and were terrified and backup plans that i kind of thing. although they did they'd say it didn't bias their decision, he admitted that there were people who were in initial part of the team who clearly were not fans of the president. but john, before we let you go, i want to ask about this new letter from senators grassley, graham and johnson to the attorney general. if they've been trying to get information from the doj about the hillary clinton email investigation for years. they were told they couldn't have it because it may interfere with the mueller investigation. this letter they sent today's says that now that the investigation has concluded, we are unaware of any legitimate basis upon which the department can refuse to answer the judiciary committee's inquiries. is it wasted time at this point to be going back to the holy clinton email investigation? or that said listen, we waited patiently, we want the stuff now. worth their time? >> i actually think they're p

sara carter, investigative reporter are reporting tonightat there are new fbi texts between peter strzok and lisa page that actually show they suggested using a post-election briefing to gather information on team trump. a lot more coming up in a second. developments on this all throughout the show. first tonight, the democrats'ts crazy train has yet another passenger because there he is, crazy uncle joe biden, after delaying his launch and delaying it again, he has finally now jumped into the 2020 race. 2 he is now the 20th democrat i running for president. that's a record. now, what's going to happen next is going to be pretty remarkable, as joe bidenre tries to court the new ultra radical extreme socialist left democratic party and convince them, well, he's their guy. but even the bigger story is overseas. and that's surrounding joe biden's shady involvement with ukraine, breaking tonight also. you remember, john solomon explained on this program,on while joe biden was vice president, his son, hunter, took a lucrative job at a major ukrainian energy company and by the way, is also peter schwei

we need to bring those people to justice, james comey, klapper, peter strzok, lisa paige. you know the characters, jim baker, andrew mccabe, bruce ohr who committed the crimes first against the trump campaign of which i was spied on and my colleagues were then the trump family and ultimately, the president himself very likely. we need to bring those people to justice and find out how it began and hold them accountable. >> none of the 183 pages in the obstruction of justice section, of the mueller report and you h it is a threat, concealing of evidence or can destruction of evidence. i explained it in my book. yet, your people who are still claiming obstruction of justice and they are accusing william barr, of twisting and contorting -- to clear donald trump. what do you say those people? mac. >> you have to remember about the russia hoax, moreover, bill barr and bob mueller and deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein, had the opportunity to sit down together. to review the document before the summary was ever presented to the american people and they all came with the same

peter strzok, lisa page, bruce ohr, a lot of information that still needs to be answered because this needs to never be allowed to happen to any other president again. the media uproar if bush did this to obama when obama was the incoming president? >> ed: let me go back to robyn. you mentioned the obama administration before and they did at the top. i get that obama officials said they went to republican leaders like mitch mcconnell to try to have a bipartisan statement to say russia is doing this, trying to interfere, they need to knock it off. let's admit that. i'll be honest about that pit however, why didn't the obama administration beyond a paper statement with mitch mcconnell take action to stop russia? >> they did, but they did it too late. they did it after president president trump was the incoming president. i mean, they did do sanctions on all the diplomats, they kicked them out. i wished he did it sooner. to correct charlie, this wasn't just a farce. they followed the appointment orders to investigate resting meddling. we know russia did this. they've done it for decades.

lisa page, peter heather nauert he will have stains on the record for how this went down.i will not say they were perfect. they did things that push the boundary lines but they were facing unprecedented situation, very controversial candidate and if they made mistakes they will be held accountable. beyond that, that is the end of it. >> the mueller report shows everything our intelligence agencies use to get fisa warrants to lunch the investigation turned out to be wrong so the best story you have is these agents are naÏve, gullible and bad at their jobs. the worst or you have is they were politically motivated and trying to use powers against the sitting elected president which is unconscionable and against the laws that were passed after the watergate years. shannon: the anticipation on some of these reports is almost the mueller report. thank you so much. 2020 democratic contenders push for gun control, donald trump spends the day with the nra. >> the bad guys aren't giving up their guns and you are not going to be giving up your guns either. plants capture co2. what if

we don't know that but maybe he's looking at people like peter heather nauert he and lisa page. >> i imagine it's mostly not about the mueller report but what mueller wasn't supposed to study which was how did the whole thing get started? mueller was looking at whether it is collusion between russia and the trump campaign. he wasn't looking at how is he may be referring i expect to jim comey or top fbi staffer leaking classified information to the newspapers or other obama intelligence officials were improperly using surveillance laws. one last thing we don't know enough about is whether the house investigators ran into obstruction of justice, whether they ran into perjury when conducting investigation themselves which involved interviewing high-ranking fbi officials under the obama administration and the beginnings of the trump administration. shannon: mark meadows thinks part of this is that there were people high within the doj that would leak information to the media and these reports would come out and point to those and say this would help build their case. that turns out to be

text messages between former fbi official peter struck and lisa page suggest they wanted to use postelectionefings to develop potential relationships with members of the trump team. donald trump weighed in on the messages during an exclusive interview with sean hannity. >> they were going hogwild to find something about the administration. we have nothing to do with russia. these were the two, now she lost and now they are trying to infiltrate the administration. it is a coup, spying, everything you can imagine. >> republican senator chuck grassley and ron johnson calling on william barr to release more information in hopes of investigating irregularities in the russia investigation. adding insult to injury, north korea presenting the us with a $2 million bill for otto warmbier's hospital care when he was in prison. here to react, international relations expert doctor rebecca grant, thank you for joining us. appreciate your time. people hearing this story this morning, what in the world is the response? what in the world were they thinking? >> otto warmbier, that story gets me over time but

look at the text messages between lisa paige and peter strzok. president trump will never become president, right? and peter strzok replied, no, no, he's not we will stop it. your reaction? >> i think it speaks for itself. for this phony outrage by some of the people on the democratic side, i think is ignoring the facts. we heard peter strzok testify. we heard what kind of person he was. we saw a lack of integrity but i think people need to understand this has been done before and this is what the commission 1973 was supposed to put an end to. you know, we had been monitoring martin luther king and quite frankly, we had monitored other people, historically. i think that we need to recognize that this has happened before. do not act so outraged at the fact that the attorney general, a man i think of great character and courage, has now said he believes that there is a possibility that they were spying and it was not predicated correctly. elizabeth: general, you put into historical context. the attorney general testified today about how bad it was

predicate of this whole investigation and, you know, from day one, you know, we had james comey, peter strut, lisa page and then we had bob mueller coming into it right after he gets turned down for a job as the fbi director. somehow people forget that and so to suggest that there was no bias at the predicate of this investigation is not accurate and i think we will see that in the coming days. >> so apply the same scrutiny to the president of the united states who still insists russia didn't interfere in our election. do you agree with that, mr. jordan? >> no, they tried to interfere, but the question that bob mueller was looking at was was there collusion between the trump campaign and russia to impact the election and the answer was no there wasn't. >> i'm asking you something else. we will talk about that also. >> and i said yes. >> no. no. no. >> yes, this he tried. >> i'm asking you about the president. the president denies, are you okay with that? >> so what the president has said is that it didn't affect the outcome. and i would agree with that. >> no, that's not what he has said, mr. mead

both catherine herridge and sara carter are reporting tonight we now have text messages from peter strzok and lisa page, never before seen. discussing recruiting white house sources to spy on you. take it in any order you would like. >> president trump: well, i think it's incredible when you hear it. these are great reporters, all three. and when you have them on your trail, that's a problem. these are people that should be getting pulitzers, not the ones that got the pulitzers that got everything wrong. if you listen to them, they got everything wrong. go back and read some of their early and mid articles.ro they didn't have a clue what was going on and they win pulitzer prizes.e these are the ones that should be winning. it sounds like big stuff and o sounds very interesting with ukraine. i just spoke to the newds president a little while ago, two days ago, and congratulated him on an incredible race. incredible run. a big surprise victory. got 75% of the vote.is that sounds like big, big stuff. i'm not surprised. >> sean: mr. president, ukraine is offering this evidence to the united states. wo

they still won't investigate why peter strzok and lisa page attested to the fact that the white house and potus wanted to know everything about the trump campaign during that illegal surveillance. somehow they think the president's tax returns from five or six years ago is going to create a new sense of clarity for the country. it's ridiculous. we need to spend their time ensuring never again is our intelligence process used for political gain by people who would convert opposition research into a document to justify surveillance on american citizens. that is the real conspiracy. that is the real corruption and everything else is an effort by democrats to distract us from how corrupt the dnc and clinton campaign were with foreign adversaries. lou: what are the questions i think doesn't get much attention if any at all is why was it necessary to go to fusion gps? why was it necessary to go through all of the school buggery that the justice department engaged in and the fbi when they have 16 agencies in the intelligence community that have no clue about russian intervention and attempte

there will be an investigation of peter strzok and lisa pain anpageand jim comey.: i think, the answer is there was no collusion, there was no reason to be investigating this collusion i dicollusion delusion, you have to ask yourself, why did this come about. those are americans that -- questions that americans should be asking. you put a prosecutor with all keeps of ability to dig into this and that. and there was no real reason to be digging into it in the first place, what the heck has happened in this country? >> number one, i think we know. that case was predicated on a fraud. people knew that information was fraudulent. before special counsel was accounted. and if i'm going to be looking careful in the report tomorrow to see if the special counsel looked into that. where did this information come from? what was the cre credibility. who knew it was not credible, i want to understand if he did not look into, that but it does need to be looked into. this investigation of based on fraud, i am look to see at what point did mueller team have to know at least by any

they want him to probe deep into what was going on between peter strzok and lisa page, and the text messages that went between them. basically, looking to recruit potential sources in the white house. i think this is something that also other committees are looking into as well. he spoke at georgetown university. he wrote that story, asking very significant questions. what did the obama white house no. he denied this completely. he is saying that the white house knew nothing, just as you said, but there's going to be a significant investigation. remember, james clapper, james comey. the former fbi director. all very well aware of what was going on. and according to sources that i have spoken with within the intelligence committee, there would be no way that obama would not have been briefed on some of this, considering it was a potential candidate for the presidency, that after he became president. so i think there's going to be a lot of questions being asked and a lot of people having to answer them. >> sean: sara carter, thanks for that report. we promise you we will not stop. all of these
