>> yes, i am. >> peter struck, that one. >> he had a significant role -- >> peter struck ran the campaign, changed the exoneration letter from gross negligence -- interviewed mike flynn. peter struck selected by mr. mueller to be on his team. that peter struck we've learned had all these text messages we got to read some early this morning. some of them are, you know, they show he didn't like trump. he and miss page are exchanging text messages sharing they don't like the president. but that's nothing new. no one on mueller's team likes trump. we already knew that. i want to focus on one in particular. one in particular. and this is a text message from mr. struck to miss page recalling a conversation at a meeting that took place in andrew mccabe's office, deputy director of the fbi, recalling a meeting earlier. and mr. struck says this. i want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in andy's office. then there's a break. dash, it says that there's no way he gets elected. no way trump gets elected. he said, i want to believe that. you said that in a meeting in mccabe's office.

peter struck, january 10th. he's the guy who changes the exoneration letter from gross negligence, criminal standard, to extreme carelessness. july 2nd, he's the guy who sits in on the clinton interview. and then august 2016 we have this text message, the same month that the russian investigation is opened at the fbi, august 2016. any guess is th my guess is that's the same month that the application was taken to the fisa court to get the warrants to spy on americans. using this dossier that the clinton campaign paid for, fake news all dressed up, taken to the court. so i got really just a couple basic questions. if the answer is yes, if you guys paid christopher steel statement the democrats and the clinton campaign were paying him or if you took the dossier and used that as the basis to get warrants and now we have intent in this text message saying -- there's another text message. my colleague referenced it earlier where mr. struck says ki prote i can protect our country at many levels. this guy thought he wa

peter struck, selected by -- mr. mueller to be on his team. that peter struck. we learn had all these text messages. we got to read some of them early this morning.rny now, as my colleagues have pointed out, some of them are -- you know, they're -- so he didn't like trump. heor and his page are exchangin text messages back and forth that show they don't like the president. but that's nothing new. no one on trump's team likes trump. we already knew that. but i want to focus on one in particular. one in particular. this is a text message from mr. struck to miss page, recalling a conversation and a meeting that took place in andrew mccabe's office, deputy director of the fbi. recalling aer meeting earlier. and mr. struck says this. i want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in andy's office. and thenn there is a break. dash. it says there is no way he gets elected. no way trump getsd t elected. he says, i want to believe that. you said that in the meeting in andrew m ccabe's office. i want to believe that. but then he goes, but i'm afraid we can't t

. >> you are aware of recent media reports that peter struck was a special agent at the fbi, changedligent to extremely careless in former director coming macapp statement. >> anyone who grabbed the performance would say gross negligence and extremely careless are close to each other. jillian: jim jordan pressing the fbi director on possible involvement with the dossier. >> my hunch is it has to do with the dossier. the director -- did peter struck help produce and present the application to secure a warrant to spy on americans associated with the trump campaign? >> i'm not prepared to discuss anything about that process. todd: as fireworks erupted over the fbi fox news learned a separate senior official has been demoted after evidence surfaced of his contact with fusion gps, the research from behind the anti-trump dossier. an investigation is underway. jillian: house judiciary many member jim jordan appearing on fox news to call out the fbi and their past help to political campaigns. >> the speaker and devon nunez, were all pushing but each day we heard about mister or, we talked in

is this the same peter struck who was a key player in the russia investigation and the same peter struck who was put on mueller's team? >> i certainly know that he was working on the special counsel's investigation. whether or not he would be characterized as a key player, that's not really for me to say. >> the same peter struck was removed from the special counsel team because he exchanged text messages with a colleague that displayed a pro clinton bias. >> yes. >> peter struck is selected to be on mueller's team and then he's removed for some pro clinton text messages. i mean, there are all kinds of people on mueller's team who are pro clinton. po lit fact said 90% on the top lawyers went to clinton or obama. peter struck, who ran the russia investigation, who interviewed mike flynn is put on mueller's team and then he gets kicked off for a text message that's anti-trump. if you kicked everybody off mueller's team that was anti-trump, i don't think there would be anybody left. there's not to be something more here. it can't just be some text messages that sew a pro clinton/anti-trump

because if this is just we're talking about just one guy this peter struck but i mean there could be more people and so this would be an embarrassment to show that for all this time for all the hours and hours and months of c.n.n. coverage of a quote russia collusion which but there's still been no evidence between donald trump himself and russia and any kind of election collusion so if you're the look at all of this coverage and this stuff the stories that have surfaced would d.o.j. reports and then find out that it's all been started two of these investigations as hillary clinton's e-mails being kind of ignored by james comey but also this trump russia investigation it's all been started by somebody that hated donald trump and love hillary clinton that's not only embarrassing but it really puts everything at risk that the d.o.j. in the f.b.i. claim they want to do just as an end of investigative body and trying to be independent it just really puts puts it all in jeopardy and it makes that not only the american people but the rest of the world say what kind of justice department is

any opinion that might have been erased by peter struck? >> as a legal matter i can tell you that if the evidence is tainted that would raise a concern based upon the witnesses and documents. that would concern us if there were any evidence in the case. the gentleman from georgia mr. johnson for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman for your service to the country based on the language and the special counsel order appointing a special counsel, does the special counsel have the authority to investigate any individual who may have obstructed the investigation that it be confirmed march 20 of this year which was the russian interference in the 2016 elections? >> they do have the authority related to his jurisdiction. doeit does this authority to investigate possible obstruction include investigating president trump? >> i hope you won't take inference one way or another. that's something we do not do. >> i'm not asking whether or not the president is under investigation i'm just asking whether the order appointing the special council authori

peter struck had initially been part of the muller investigation and removed this summer after the justice department inspector general turned up a bunch of text messages that showed struck and paige communicating at a personal level and expressing various strong political opinions. mueller responded by taking struck back off the team back in june of this year. struck no longer works muellerinvestigations. the texts themselves are evidence mueller's team is bias and there are anti trump sentiments expressed in some of these texts. after trump went after the cokh family, lisa paige forwarded an article about the khan family about peter struck and said jesus, you should read this and trump should go f himself. struck replied, god, that's a great article, thanks for sharing and f trump. during a debate in october, struck said i'm riled up, trump is an f-ing idiot unable to provide a cohaerent answer. he said this is f-ing terrifying and said clinton might lose. because of the anti trump texts from this fbi official who until six months ago did work, republican haves been on fire saying they s

and involving peter struck. and change the draft -- and those were tied -- how can we trust the fbi when this is going on? >> this raises real questions about the objectivity, here's the key thing. who interviewed michael flynn, it was his recounting of that that charges against flynn were based on blind to an fbi agent, this was the same fbi agent, cheryl mills and huma aberdeen, chief aids to hillary clinton, they lied to him, charged with like to an fbi agent, why this double standard, the fbi and justice department. >> this is what donald trump tweeted, fbi agent -- as you said, and donald trump so continuously said something is not right here. >> also apparently, bob mueller is stonewalling the house intelligence can become a the only reason they finally did it inspector general investigation report. and why has -- >> the people appointed to help with the investigation into russian collusion, the majority of democratic donors. yesterday, andrew wiseman, one of the top prosecutor's for mueller. >> the number

how partisan was peter struck?> there was no limit to what he was willing to do to ben the law in the direction he wanted it to go. he is the where's waldo of the whole investigation, the fbi agent who played a major role investigation of hillary clinton's e-mail, he interviewed hillary clinton, allowed cheryl mills, hillary clinton's lawyer and suspect. to sit in on interview, then he changed language to comey used to describ describe hillary clie of e-mail. and fox news report that peter struck was involved in the huma abedin investigation when they found all those e-mails in last week of campaign, on anthony weiner's computer. comey issued a last minute mia culpa, said i should not have looked into it, everywhere we look there is peter schrok. he has been let go of russia investigation for political bias. he is lowest -- low lois lernerf the fbi. violating civil liberty, i think that peter schrok will be bureaucrat who was always there putting his thumb on the scale of justice. liz: he is is a count able to depa

peter struck was part of the mueller investigation earlier this year, this is one exchange between page he said god trump is a loathsome human he may win. he expressed shock, i cannot believe donald trump is likely to be an actual serious candidate for president. how significant is this? >> it's a red herring in respect of the mueller investigation. it's not relevant to the determinations that mueller has to make under his mandate with respect to whether there was collusion or obstruction of justice or other crimes that arise out of that investigation. struck made these observations inappropriately in some respects because he was working for the fbi. even though he has the right to do that, prudence would have said not to do that, but these were not investigative leads he was pursuing and using his bias to impact the outcome of. these are personal political views expressed long before mueller was even a figment of anyone's imagination, to try to bring the texts of this private citizen -- as he had a right to, into the mueller investigation, is just a red herring. >> if you have expresse

fbi lawyer and a senior fbi counterintelligence official peter struck and lisa page ands it rr a lot of controversy as to why their personal texett messas to each other were made public. he was reportedly taken toff mueller investigation when the inh inspector general became aware of a these text messages, showed them to for had mueller and that was the end off peter struck's time on the investigation. what does a countersenior intelligence officer do? i've seen "the americans." so i think i'm a genius about these things. but being the number two official in the fbi in counterintelligence. what does he do? how big a loss is it whether or not it was a good thingee was taking up the investigation. how big a loss is it? >> the fbi is a ulalso an intelligence agency. a lot of people don't appreciate they're dual hatted. they're also an intelligence agency. they're part of the intelligence community. they share that with other members of the intelligence community. so what does an fbi senior counterintelligence agent do? some of that. where do you get intelligence? lots of different sourc

this week we learned some troubling facts about fbi agent peter struck who led the fbi investigation lary clinton's private email server and who was for a time a lead investigator in the mueller probe. struck was revealed to have sent anti-trump texts to his mistress. he also changed the wording in then-fbi director james comey's criticism of clinton's email from grossly negligent to extremely careless. that caused president trump to tweet about the struck story, suggesting both the flynn and clinton investigations, have been tainted by bias, after years of comey, with the phony and dishonest clinton investigation and more running the fbi, its reputation is in tatters. but fear not, we will bring it back to greatness. another report, anti-trump fbi agent led clinton email probe, now it all starts to make sense. the department of justice's inspector general is conducting an investigation of the fbi's handling of the clinton email case. has the fbi's reputation been damaged? and will peter struck's conduct harm the mueller investigation? joining me is tom fuentes, you know that tom spen

republicans say they will subpoena two former members of mueller's team, fbi counter intelligence agent peter struck was taken off the investigation after mueller learned he had texted with a senior fbi lawyer lisa paige, then criticizing president trump throughout the campaign. weijia jiang, cbs news, the white house. >> agent struck led the investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. mispaige completed her details to the mueller team before the office became aware of the allegations. >>> thousands of airline passengers are stuck in atlanta after a massive power outage shut down the world's busiest airport. an electrical fire knocked out power for nearly 11 hours yesterday at hartsfield-jackson international airport. power was restored just before midnight, but for much of the day this is what the inside looked like. thousands of passengers stranded while hundreds more were stuck inside planes waiting for a gate. >> we were literally carrying old people down the escalators and up escalators and carrying wheelchairs. my heart was racing becaus

peter struck was part of the muller investigation. he was reportedly taken off the muller investigation when the inspector general of the justice department became aware of the text messages and showed them to mr. muller and then that was the end of his time on the muller investigation. here is my question, what does a counter intelligence senior official at the fbi do? i understand what agents do because i've seen the americans so i think i'm a genius about these things and i got complete control but being the number two official in the fbi on counter intelligence, what is his job? what does he do? how big a loss of it regardless whether it was good he was taking up the investigation, how big a loss he's not on there? >> so first principle, the fbi is also intelligence agency. a lot of people don't appreciate they are dual had. we know them from the movies as a law enforcement agency and intelligence agency, part of the intelligence community. they check intelligence and share that with members of the u.s. intelligence community. so
