officials peter strozk and lisa page. giuliani says strozk's involvement with the investigation warrants further review. watch. >> he was with it for the first couple of months mueller kept them on. how much did he infect the probe? i don't know. but i want to find out. this is a case crying out to investigate the investigators. there should be i.g. report and grand jury investigation of what happened here after it became the russia probe. i would like to know what they gathered. i think they gathered the same thing that the "washington post" trying to regurgitate no collusion by the president with the russians. all the things were dead end. >> harris: president trump tweeted yesterday. "witch hunt. no russia collusion. oh, i see. there was no russia collusion so now they look for obstruction on the no russia collusion. the phony russia collusion was a madeup hoax. too bad they didn't look at hillary clinton like this. double standard." what say you? >> the inspector general is 562 pages shows the animus and the bias at t

agent peter strozk given more marks on yesterday's closed door testimony. according to most reports refused to answer many questions. there was no collusion and the witch hunt headed by 13 angry democrats and others who are totally conflicted is rigged. meanwhile, we are learning that strozk reportedly told lawmakers that the personal political views did not impact his decision-making in the hillary clinton e-mail probe or the russia investigation. here is more from congressman mark meadows casting doubt on that explanation. >> i don't know how you read the text and how any reasonable person read the text and think there was no bias. none of my concerns have been alleviated based on what i heard so far. >> dagen: your reaction to that? i don't think anybody watches this day in and day out and knows what we know and think it started and ended with peter strozk despite the fact that he is the one that wrote the electronic communication that launched the russian probe in the first place. >> bill: let me take another piece of this. the weirdness of washington.

agent peter strozk not answering questions this morning on the way to the committee but he is now takinguestions behind closed doors. strozk agreed to voluntary appearance after chairman bob golatte subpoenaed him last week. latte weighin in earlier today ahead of the big event. >> the bias that was against trump and for hillary clinton is reflected in the actions that were taken by the f.b.i. in both those investigations. they leaned over backwards to give her special treatment that no other criminal suspect would receive. in the trump case, they leaned forward to launch an investigation. the roots of which we need to learn more about. we will hold a public hearing with mr. strozk in the near future. >> marie: tomorrow, f.b.i. director christopher wray and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein are set to testify publicly before the house judiciary committee and field questions about the d.o.j. and f.b.i. action in runup to the 2016 election. and finding in the inspector general report. meanwhile, lindsey graham writing a letter to rosenstein demanding more information about the role th

the howls judiciary and the oversight officials are scheduled to depose peter strozk on wednesday over the anti-trump text messages sent while he worked on the russia investigation. judiciary chairman bob goodlatte subpoenaed the special agent despite strozk's offer to testify. they say his conduct demands answers. >> this is very disturbing because the implication here is not i'm just expressing my private opinion about an individual but this says i've got a plan to stop it. >> melissa: the congressman referring to the text exchange revealed in the d.o.j.'s i.g. report to suggest he was working to prevent a trump presidency. meanwhile, elijah cummings, the ranking democrat on the oversight committee accusing the republicans of keeping the party in the dark on wednesday's closed door testimony. >> i'm looking forward to hearing from him but the republicans have not told us anything. we don't even know whether we will be invited, the democrats, to the deposition. >> melissa: closed door meeting. what do you think, kennedy? >> kennedy: i understand that there has to be some aspect of nat

agent peter strozk may have had a larger role in the clinton and russia investigation than previouslyknown. this is as republicans press top f.b.i. officials for more information about the probe. let's bring in ari fleischer, the former press secretary for george w. bush and fox news contributor. peter strozk was dumped from theller investigation team when it turned out he had a romantic relationship with another person who worked at the f.b.i. e didn't play a hugestion role in either investigation. now we're finding out he was fairly central to the e-mail prnd russia investigation. ari? >> that is one of the reasons i think that bob mueller got of him. he gotend put down under the personnel desk at the f.b.i. we need to figure this out. that is my bottom line. it's so hard to know all the facts of this, particularly through the congressional investigation. the inspector general at the f.b.i. is the one we are waiting f he will have the full report of what went right and wrong in the hillary clinton. i suspect it's a bad hair day for peter strozk when it happens. >> jon: strozk, we kn

when you have peter strozk as the i.g.ending a text message and his girlfriend says, "oh, my god, is donald trump really going to be president?" he said no, no he won't, we won't let that happen. that is essentially what he says. there is bias. for ozeout there saying there is not bias in this report, that is not true. the i.g. provided numerous examples. terrifying examples of incredible bias by many different agents. these people as you say were the same people that seamlessly moved over and started work on the trump russia investigation. and also became the basis for the special counsel investigation. bob mueller. so you cannot say that this is not related, that these are not leaked. >> bill: i apologized to interrupt you but i want to squeeze in one more point. if you are in a court of law as a lawyer you argue that the witness is tainted and can no longer be trusted. that is what you will hear and rudy giuliani started already last night. you will hear that from republicans on the hill. so watch that story. but answer

the most important thing we realize so far is that peter strozk was in charge of the chief operating er hired the clintonite lawyers. that ought to be investigated as to whether or not strozk's involvement in that was guiding the membership of the investigating group in tt direction. that is under the i.g. charge. that can be part of the next report that comes out of the i.g. >> eric: we have had e-mail between lisa page and strozk, especially ones saying they would stop trump from becoming president. yet horowitz concludes there was no bias. do you buy that? >> i think horowitz h his cake and ate it, too. he gave us the facts to allow us to draw conclusions that there was bias. yet in a delicate parsing the statement suggested that there was no bias. in fact, i read the horowitz statement in a slightly different way. i thought he was saying there was no political bias by comey when he out wh the report on mrs. clinton. i don't think it had a direct relationship, that sentence in my opinion didn't have a direct relationship to the strozk/page exchanges. >> eric: so when peter strozk a

evidence that peter strozk stated in the presence of the f.b.i. counsel that became part of the special counsel mueller fun diagnosissal evidence and used by the special counsel team. special counsel mueller was here i know what i would ask him. he is not. but his supervisor is. mr. deputy attorney general, what if anything has the special counsel mueller done to determine the actions taken, the decisions made and the evidence collected by special agent peter strozk was impacted by his very clear hatred and bias of president trump. >> congressman, i know you are aware, director mueller has vast experience as a prosecutor and a supervisor to the f.b.i. so i can assure you that he understands the importance of considering any credibility issues in determines whether or not to rely upon a person. with regard to the -- >> let me stop you. what actions has he taken, as his supervisor? >> we are not going to talk publicly about the substance of the investigation. >> i don't want you to do that. can you tell me whether he has taken steps to determine? >>

so we should expect to see peter strozk testify publicly next week?king with him, but he needs to understand that he has to do it on our timetable not on his. so if he is going to appear volunteerly, his lawyer better contact us right away. subpoena is coming. >> martha: tonight we know the timetable. just in to fox news the house judiciary committee issued the subpoena for peter strozk who we have heard so much about all these months, to finally appear at a description and -- appear at a deposition and answer questions. we are joined by jonathan kyle turley. it's good to see you. >> this is a big development. like to see "hamlet" without seeing "hamlet." he is walking on next -- walking on the stage next week. i expect him to say the e-mail were his personal political view point and didn't interfere with his position. but there is a lot of specific questions he will face. including a meeting that was referenced by page talking about an insurance policy against president trump being elected president. that meeting was supposedly attended by andrew mcc

official peter strozk was escorted from the agency's headquarters amid an ongoing investigation in the anti-trump text. some lawmakers want him to to testify before congress. how likely is that? >> i think if we were to come before the congress it would be nationally televised theater where he was tripping all over himself. i welcome it and i think he should do that. greatness of an suv? is it to carry cargo... or to carry on a legacy? its show of strength... or its sign of intelligence? in crossing harsh terrain... or breaking new ground? this is the time to get an exceptional offer on the mercedes of your midsummer dreams at the mercedes-benz summer event, going on now. receive up to a $1,250 summer event bonus on select suvs. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing. i'm a tin can tied to your bumper, cause.... i don't think enough people heard about your big day. but nothing says "we got married" like a 12 ounce piece of scrap metal. yo! we got married! honk if you like joint assets. now you're so busy soaking up all this attention, you don't see the car in front of you. and if i can cra

when it comes out, it becomes problematic for these, like peter strozk. and we see page and others.e need to know what they were hiding. and in this case, we need to know where they planning informants in political elections? -- planting informants in the political campaigns? these are thing we need answers to. >> melissa: there was no answer -- in terms of the stuff already handed over, some say it should be satisfactory. what was in all of that and why was it not all good enough? >> some of what we requested was in redacted form or we have asked for certain documents they have chosen to redact. as we learn from the inspector general horowitz, the deciding agency on that was the director of the national intelligence. okay. i held a top secret s.c.i. security clearance when i was a warrior most of my adult life. there are members of congress that know how to keep secrets. we have your house intelligence and the senate intelligence committees. they are sworn to things that most of us never see. get to the bottom of that. if there is something sensitive it doesn't mean you keep it fro

peter strozk wednesday for the deposition he wouldn't answer most of the questions because it's classified. so they unleash the counterintelligence powers of the government. now they are using that, the sensitivity of that as a shield to protect them from congressional oversight. that is wrong. >> it's clearly wrong. congressman gohmert, you think that knows guys are actually listen in on your office? >> well, i don't know about listening in but i've been told they are keeping an eye on me. the thing is, though, i mean look at what they do. they have a history and especially mueller and weissman. they work together on the russia investigation where they are trying to get uranium illegally which they have done. so, that was also under the jurisdiction of a guy named "rosenstein." rosenstein, mueller, comey, weisman are joined together in so much of this stuff. it's incredible. judge, you have seen people lie. i can't say what all strozk said. but during the hours i was watching, you know, you would see them say things that he knew he was lying. he knew you knew he was lying. >> interesting.

let's talk about the messages between peter strozk and lisa page. >> while the overall investigationappear to be tainted based off the inspector general's review, he has zeroed in on a period of time from late september to october 2016 where you might remember there was a delay in reviewing the e-mails related to the clinton investigation found on former congressman anthony weiner's laptop. on that score he doesn't say that strozk is blamed for the delay, he said he can't rule out political bias from his mind. strozk's lawyer said that plhe cannot rule out political bias. in fact, all facts contained in the record lead to the conclusion that the delay was caused by a variety of factors and miscommunications that had nothing to do with special agent strozk's political views. in the inspector general report, they do find that he searched for evidence, sofs it was broader than just page and strzok. he said could i find no evidence in the e-mails, texts or other documents that suggested an improper purpose. >> laura, thank you for that. i want to get some quick reaction over on capitol h

love bird peter strozk the lead prosecutor in the hillary clinton server investigation and the trump russia witch hunt now reportedly finally lost his security clearance. of course, strozk is just one of five high-ranking anti-trump f.b.i. employees who were referred for investigation by the inspector general. now we know that three of the five abusively biased individuals for trump, those who loved hillary and worked on both investigations. by the way they include strozk and page and an f.b.i. lawyer which was outed by chairman meadows named kevin clinesmith. by the way, clinesmith was initially working as a primary attorney in the russia investigation. but, of course, he was removed in february because his bias was revealed. what about the rest of the mueller team? tonight the freedom caucus chairman mark meadows is sounding the alarm that possible witness statements may have been altered what is known as 302s by some of the bias investigators to clear or charge a suspect. that is a big problem. now medvedev is also -- meadows is warning that the subpoena are forth coming in days.

is michael horowitz, the inspector general who is the one who unearthed text messages between peter strozk and lisa page from the beginning. he got the message, "we'll stop them" never given to congress by the f.b.i. so sadly we'll probably have to wait for his report to come out. >> melissa: let marie in here. >> marie: they found that the political bias they had didn't investigate the hillary e-mail investigation. >> that is not what he said. >> there are aspects ongoing with strozk. >> melissa: he said transition from the e-mail -- >> marie: he said there was no evidentiary bias. i read the i.g. report. i know what it says. in the hillary e-mail investigation they couldn't find that it impacted the investigation. >> kennedy: they didn't say that. it's much more narrow. >> marie: the russian is separate. and the mueller investigation is more separate. i don't want the republicans using this information politically for the partisan reasons. let mueller finish the investigation. >> lawrence: what do you mean? it was partisan when they. we after him. >> melissa: they are ripping mark warren
