what about the peter strzok page insurance policy and, it has been, a partisan team of investigators who have wanted him and discredit and delegitimize the presidency of donald trump. we have this to say about the ongoing probe, let's take a look. speak to all these people that say i'm going to end the investigation, and how long have i been looked at? from the day i announced, i looked at a candidate with no proof, with phony people like mccabe and his lover. just in case they win or lose. this is an insurance policy and the whole thing is a scam. 's as we want the president is rightly critical of the one-sided witch hunt. night after night, over a year and a half, leading with breathless speculation about trump and rush is. avoiding the biggest abuse of corruption, and perhaps even a special counsel considering that's all the democrats in the house. instead of these networks putting facts first, they are waging a p.r. like campaign on a man that never wanted to be president but it's no surprise that many so-called reporters actually replaced actual journalism with antitrust vitriol

as a result of him recusing himself, we have james comey who lied to congress, peter strzok, obstructionof justice, andrew mccabe, tampering with evidence, lying to congress and i'd be here all night if i started with hillary clinton and what she could be charged with and destroying evidence, all federal crimes. he is the shell, the front and last weekend i did my open and i said i was wild, the guy issued a statement saying i stand for justice, mister president. you don't stand for anything. you don't stand for anything, jeff sessions. you are preventing american people from seeing justice being done and it's not because they are democrats or republicans, it's people who disrespect the law. so you say why doesn't donald trump fire him? last week, he said i won't fire him before the midterms. i don't know what it says toyou, but it says something to me but i think we have to win the midterms . all right? these people need to be punished, but they probably won't be in the only way for you to get justice is to vote in 2018. okay. >> judge, thank you for coming out. >> where are you? >> way

whether it was line agents, peter strzok and page, or his leaking of information.mping that fake russian dossier on the table to show than president-elect trump, that spun this out of control. i think he was irresponsible. i wish the president had fired him on day one instead of sometime in may. the president felt like he wanted to give the fdi director chance and that's unfortunate. >>chris: i want to get to a couple more questions. the bottom line issue is whether or not this us versus them view of politics is useful, serves the president or whether it jeopardizes his chances for reelection. let's take a look at the midterms you talked about. house democrats picked up at least 38 seats. suburban women went for democrats. independents supported democrats. there's no question the president space is rocksolid. the question is, he hasn't done enough to expand his base. >> i think what the president has done as it relates to the economy and jobs will be a reminder when he's on the ballot. individuals running in these places ran away from the president which i thought

has written, and i do wonder, if an fbi agent should be allowed to have personal opinions like peter strzokcrats said should have been allowed to have personal opinions and not have it affect his work, should the same apply to whitaker? >> he's allowed to have personal opinions, but not to supervise the investigation. peter strzok was taken off the investigation by robert mueller as soon as he learned of those communications that indicated his bias. so, whether it violates 45 code of federal regulation, section 28, it clearly is an appearance of impropriety and it infects the entire department of justice and my view is, career professionals in the department of justice ought to really raise a protest here along with people throughout the united states because americans want this investigation to be completed. there's a reason why donald trump waited until after the midterms, because this step will be widely and deeply unpopular. i hope my republican colleagues will sense it. >> well, so, if he does not recuse and right now there's no suggestion that he will, what do you do then, senator? >>

peter strzok deputy head counter-intelligence demoted and fired. these were the top people who ran the clinton investigation. we know how they handled that. and two of them went on bob mueller's team before he had to kick them off. this is the worst thing i have ever seen. for them to try to lecture us and say they hope democrats will take control? this is why it's important that we win so we can get all the answers for the american people. >> the reason i said the real villain is barack h. obama are because all those folks were in his justice department and he politically corrupted them in ways we could not have imagined boulevard he took office in 2009. it is stunning. what they pulled off here is remarkable. and there is still no accounting after over two years of investigation by originally the fbi, then the special counsel. and what a farce it is, and we are told to expect it to go on. that's hard to stomach. >> if they take back the house next tuesday. it will the be ally gentleman comes on oversight. and they will turn everything on the pres

why is he protecting crooked hillary, comey, page, and peter strzok? they have spent months digging into everything and anyone and everyone associated with president trump while ignoring what we now know to be factual and true. that is collusion, real crimes committed by hillary clinton, violating the espionage act. fact, the biggest easiest, slam-dunk case as it relates to obstruction of justice that we have ever seen. why have there been no mueller investigation and hillary's bought and paid for? russian intelligence sources paid for by hillary and the dnc that she was controlling. why? in part to influence an election. you the american people, how is that not part of russian collusion? what about dissemination of russian intelligence throughout the highest levels of your government? those russian lies spread out to the american people will come before the 2016 election to propagandize and influence people before they voted in that election and use them to destroy president trump after the election. what about the fraud on a fisa court, four times? t

after the reputational harm that comey, mccabe, lisa page, peter strzok and others caused, it's time for the president to turn the page and nominate someone with experience and credibility. weeks ago i suggested chris christie, he will be fantastics. so will our next guest. that's the angle. first, breaks moment ago, gop u.s. senate -- gop for the u.s. senate, senator cindy hyde-smith wins that runoff in mississippi. keeping the seat in republican hands and giving the gop senate a 53-47 advantage. we're all going to have a live report right before hyde-smith's remarks later in the hour after little marvel removal from my mouth. here to react is andrew mccarthy. a former chief assistant and u.s. attorney and fox news contributor. the fox news alert, very important of course, it got in the way that great intro to you. i have two picks, christy and you. >> i thought the alert was that you nominated me. >> laura: this is how we roll. andy, what do you make of -- you know, what i think about you. you will be phenomenal. setting you aside for a moment, what about this need to have an attor

number one, these very same people that have attacked this president, peter strzok, paige, comey, they all set this up. they allowed hillary to get away with known crimes, obstruction, a violation of the espionage act. it is now incontravertable. that's the point. she paid for the phoney russian dossier that steel never stood by. fisa courts were lied to, information with held, nothing was verified. then, russian lies fed to the american people paid for by her. how does that get ignored and we have no evidence here ever of any trump/russia collusion. >> it gets ignored because of h hypocrisy on steroids. jerome corsi is one of the most honorable, honest individuals on the planet. no one can remember ever word, every nuance of everything they play have said over the last ten years. no human being on earth. when they get an opportunity to dig through dozens and dozens and thousands of pages of comments, they will pick out one thing they want to use to run up the flag pole to make a case out of it. this is nothing but a witchhunt looking for a witch and they haven't found a witch in nearl

what the house has been doing, nonstop, with the doj, digging into all kinds of things, involving peter strzok and lisa page. there could have been more legislating, they will say. >> the last two years have been the most productive legislative. back in a long, long time. the economy improving, more jobs, greater consumer confidence. we were able to cut taxes, get regulatory relief where people come on leash american energy, the number of justices on the supreme court. it judges across the land have been increased under president trump, we have a growing, strong economy, all of these things under this leader and under the republican senate, the republican house, but we had to work in a bipartisan way in the senate to do water in instruction infrastructure. opiate legislation, overwhelming support. 22 bills to help our veterans, all of those things done in a bipartisan way. not to investigations, not through delays and trying to slow down the process, republicans are committed to working with democrats, if they want to work for results and solutions. that is what i am to. >> shannon: something

reporting on for the last year, when you attempt to prosecute your enemies wouldn't you say that peter strzok starting this counter intelligence investigation against trump, wouldn't you say bring bringing a paid-for document from one candidate against another is a basis for a fisa warrant is what msnbc, cnn, all of them are talking about? >> absolutely, i was going to say that, judge jeannine. bat nana republic that they've been talking about is what happened when they started this investigation, against then-candidate trump in 2016. and then exonerated hillary clinton, although there was a slew of information they should have followed up on. and at least taken to the department of justice so that it could be investigated to see whether or not it should be brought before a grand jury. and i mean, there is no doubt, that what is happening here is desire information in the media. they make -- disinformation in the media. the president doesn't have the right inside the white house to talk to his attorneys and say, look, i'm being investigated, and there's never even been any evidence of a crime

why is he protecting crooked hillary, paige, her lover peter strzok, and all of his friends on the othere? theyet have spent months digging into everything and everyone associated with president trump while ignoring what we now know to be factual and true. that is collusion, real crimes committed by hillary clinton, violating the espionage act. the biggest, easiest a slam-dunk case as it relates to, oh, obstruction of justice, we've ever seen. why has there been no mueller investigation into hillary's bought and paid for dirty russian dossier, putut togethery a foreign spy? russian intelligence sources, paid for by hillary and the dnc that she was controlling. why? they did it to influence an americanti election, you, the american people., what about the dissemination of the russian intelligence, throughout the highest levels of your government? those russian lieseof spread ouo the american people before the 2016 election, the propagandize and influence people before they voted in that election. used then to destroy president trump after the election. what about the fraud on a fisa court

likely brings the president a greater degree of concern than the mueller investigation, where even peter strzok and lisa page were saying there's no there there after ten months of looking at the very limited evidence. kennedy: so, you know, let's assume that running for president is like a courtship. when do you stop looking around for other deals, when you're dating, when you're engaged or when you're married? when you're dating, that's pretty much when you're running. when you're engaged, that's when you become the nominee. obviously you get married, that's when you win the election and become president. at what point do you stop looking around for other deals that become a conflict of interest? >> well, just like marriage, the presidency is binary. you are either married or not, and you are either the president or not. i'm both neither married nor the president. the president i guess is both. in this circumstance, before he assumes the office, he has every right to look at whatever deal or whatever opportunity might be before him in business. i asked donald trump jr. one time, what's the fa

committee, your committee as you know, bob goodlatte leading the investigation of andrew mccabe, peter strzok, lisa page, bruce ohr are you going to drop that investigation now or pursue the truth there? >> well let me correct you, maria there's not massive abuse in the fisa court. there's no evidence of any abuse maria: are you saying that they did not withhold information? did they not withhold information to the fisa judge in terms of the dossier? >> there's noah because of the fisa court, absolutely no abuse of the fisa court. we'll be happy to do oversight on all of the appropriate areas. maria: congressman stay with us we'll table a short break, stay with us back in a moment. switche saved an average of $412," you probably won't believe me. but you can believe this, real esurance employee nancy abraham. look her up online. esurance, it's surprisingly painless. maria: we're back with rhode island democratic congressman and we ened talking about the fisa abuse in the 2016 election and we know that the fbi and the doj got a warrant to wire tap an american citizen based on a dossier which w

at the fbi, when you have that that -- >> larry: page and peter strzok. >> harris: nodded mutely, that'sot true. they had access as far as we been able to ascertain to their clearances, even. they were not immediately fired. a >> larry: and, harris, the idea -- >> harris: they were moved around like chess pieces. where is the land bias? wisner my comfort with that the idea that bruce ohr 'his wife works for the anti-trump opposition research firm, and they might have shared some things with one another? they were married. i'm just wondering, where is the line on bias? >> adrienne: the line is not for me to determine. it's to be determined by the ethics officer. >> harris: but you are calling it out -- >> adrienne: like we were's income he was all over table down like a cable television making his point very clear. his bias, that he doesn't think he was warranted and that it should stop. and now he is literally -- >> kennedy: this purity test lead to such hypocrisy. i understand there may be some issues with what matthew whitaker has written and what he has said. as a basis for recusal? i

last time i interviewed peter strzok, the democrats were hollering and screaming and yelling and mr.nows that. he knows the worst place to find the truth is in a committee hearing where each person gets five minutes and 70 people asking questions. you never get to the bottom of it. so he wants to control this. he's a control freak and here's where he's going. i think we need to do it in a deposition, closed door. the transcript will be made public. that will be made public later. that's what he doesn't want to happen. >> charles: james comey did tweet that happy thanksgiving. got a subpoena from house republicans. still happy to it is in a light and answer all questions but i will resist a closed door thing because's seen enough of the selected leaking and distortions. let's have a hearing and invite everybody to see it. could there be a compromise? it's agree with you. it's frustrating to watch the five minutes, question, the person dragging their feet, somebody in the other party blocking and tackling. if there's a way to do it with the way you want, presenting the questions in pub

>> the department of justice inspector general who said peter strzok and lisa page had a plan. >> theyued their report. >> that's not true. >> what are you talking about? the ig came out with a report. >> part of it. part of that report is done. the criminal referral for andy mccabe has not been followed up. james comey lying to congress, called person rirks hasn't been followed up on. as it relates to bob mueller, this president says you can continue your investigation, he's done nothing to prevent it from happening, roger stone ii has complied -- >> corey lewandowski, thank you for answering the questions on cuomo prime time. appreciate it. have a good weekend. >> have a good night. >>> the president loves to say he has a hot white house. everyone wants to work in it, right? wrong. we know that's not true. i'll tell you who doesn't want to work it. somebody married to somebody famous and important. there's a story that's gotten too big for me to ignore so i'll take it on with don lemon next. >>> you hit me on twitter at @chris cuomo, see if you agree or you don't. but this next story

it's in its infancy, the verification process the lead investigator, peter strzok, when they asked aboutase, he said there could be one there. there is one more. lisa page, the f.b.i. lawyer, said the congressional investigators, just months ago, not two years ago when it started, she said, it still could be literally nothing. literally nothing? we've up ended the whole country looking for this infamous russian collusion and it could be literally nothing? this is scary stuff. so you're not just throwing around the tyrannical word lightly. there is actual backbone there. >> tucker: the last administration spied on its political enemies using our intel agencies. in violation of the law and custom and decency. the rules of politics, it's disgusting. i know everyone thinks it's fine because everyone hates trump but that's a really terrible precedent to put into place, i think. >> tucker, that's not even in dispute. if you -- >> tucker: i know it not in dispute. >> april 14, 2017 we spied not only on our intelligence community we used foreign intelligence operators. cnn wrote a piece about it

lisa paige and peter strzok, and there have been selective leaks that have come out of the hearings that picture and then when a transcript is released or there's more information, it doesn't live up to that. here you see james comey saying let's do it in the open so nobody can twist what i say under this questioning. >> garrett haake on the hill for us on this monday. garrett, thanks as always, sir. >> you gbet. >>> president trump will head to mississippi to rally for a controversial recipient. we are there ahead of the special election. >> craig, cindy hyde-smith has had plenty of controversy over the last two weeks. she's relying on president trump. that campaign starts in the northern part and southern part to turn out republicans. we're here in jackson where the democrat is looking to turn out high democratic votes. george woke up in pain. but he has plans today. hey dad. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. well, not because it

there's a lot of room for questions about how these investigations got handled, agent peter strzok'sole, some communications were devastating in terms of being politically oriented. at the end of the day, i don't have a complete loss of faith in mueller, in terms of his integrity. i think he's her investigation has been monitored closely by rod rosenstein. i think is an honorable guy. at this point, we have to wait for the finish line to see what comes out before we announce it's an attack dog. >> hold on. i think it's important to note is if you want to have a fair and impartial investigation, you shouldn't build a team of hillary clinton and dnc donors. there's a lot of investigators, prosecutors who don't give money to republican's are democrats. mr. mueller put a team together of left-wingers who have given money to democrats, there is no doubt an air of partisanship in this investigation, where mueller could have taken a different track where there is great prosecutors, great investigators, who don't give any money to either party and if he had done that, we would have far more

hunt, democratic thugs, pure harassment, horrible, protecting crooked hillary, illegal, even saw peter strzokn a cameo. we know a lot of folks in washington, a lot of yours reporters are bracing for the possibility of more indictments sooner rather than later, especially after one of roger stone's associates said investigators told him he will be charged with purerk re. mueller's grand jury meets friday's. a source says he was about to submit answers to questions. we don't know what the answers say, the president does, and he really knows now what the questions are. sounded irritated by the questions. we know the president has mueller on the brain when it comes to the new acting attorney general. when asked about the quote, current thinking on the ag position, in an interview with "the daily caller" it was clearly about who he would nominate to be the next one, not the current one. the president pivoted that the probe is illegal. the president is unloading on mueller as his allies in the senate fight efforts to advance bipartisan legislation aimed at protecting the investigation from the pres

even peter strzok who hated trump said in his text messages he didn't want to be part of the specialounsel investigation because he didn't think anything was there. >> julie: sean, now we have jeff sessions out, matt whitaker in. how does it changes things with this investigation moving forward? >> sean: i don't think we know. right? whitaker has made comments in the past when he was in the doj with regard to how the investigation should be looked at. again, i think that is yet to be determined. with regard to this investigation as a whole, we can't forget the root of this investigation came from the dirty dossier from hillary clinton. hillary clinton still has her tongues in american politics and information in the dossier came from russians. i think that's fascinating. and i think that president trump is smart to call it a witch-hunt pause that's what it is. and rudy giuliani is smart to make sure that they are only answering questions in the written format. rachel and i have eight kids. we are about to come to black friday. connect four. when you connect four when you get someone,

and i will say, it's going to be difficult for both republicans who went after peter strzok to say having did not allow him to do his job properly. and democrats who said strzok is fine, a great public servant. everybody is going to switch teams, once again and saying having a political opinion makes you unqualified now. >> what happens if he refuses to recuse himself which i think we can all bet money is going to happen? >> he will continue to serve as acting ag. he's not required to recuse himself. this tension between himself and jeff sessions is that jeff sessions was a part of the campaign, and in fact, a noted surrogate. and the campaign itself was being investigated. that was the basis in which the people eternal in doj said you should recuse yourself. i will say, however, the idea is best practices. that's absolutely the case. but the thing about this particular individual is that he has not only done what people do not want a justice department to do, which is to show that lady justice is not blind. he has preconceived notions on the individual case and i want to hold him to his

day i announced i was looked at as a candidate with no proof, with phony people like mccabe and peter strzok and his lover, lisa page, his lover. these people are looking at me, they wanted an insurance policy just in case i won or hillary lost and this is an insurance policy, it's a scam. there was no collusion whatsoever in the whole thing is a scam. >> chris: your team is preparing written answers -- >> president trump: not my team. i'm preparing written answers. i'm the one that doesn't answer. are they writing them out? yes. they are writing what i tell them to write. >> chris: are they going to be submitted? >> president trump: at some point very soon. i completed them. it wasn't a big deal, by the way. the questions were asked and answered. it wasn't a big deal. you're going to make it like i had meetings for many, many hours. i got the questions, i responded, we wrote them out, i read them once, we need some changes, that's it. very simple. i did nothing wrong. >> chris: here's my question though. you are committing written answers to the council about the collusion but not on obstru

agent in charge of both the clinton investigation and the trump campaign investigation, which is peter strzok as we know by now, had a clear bias in favor of mrs. clinton and against then candidate trump. these are real problems. we think it taints the overall investigations on both accounts and we've got a lot of questions yesterday to be answered about both of those things. at the end of the day comey has the answers. >> bill: i want to ask you what the specific is for loretta lynch. based on that answer it seems like the questions fold one into the other. is that a fair reading of it? >> they're all connected. they really are. at the end of the day this is about the american people's faith in our institutions. it is about the people's faith in our system of justice and at the end of the day what keeps us up at night and what our responsibility is as a congress to make sure that this system of justice is being implemented with integrity. that's an important thing that we have to get down to the bottom to. everyone will draw their own conclusions. the american people deserve the facts and th

maria: tried to put finger on the scale in 2016, peter strzok and andrew mccabes of the world, does that go away? lindsey graham said they have a plan b. >> everybody has subpoena power but the real difference would be only mueller has really been on the investigative trail and he has gone through the campaign and the white house and trump family, once there's an independent attorney general appointed the subpoena power here is going to shift in a big way backed by a, you know, the real justice department. i think that's trump's most important move of the investigation. maria: totally with new ag. real quick on investigations, what are the investigation that is you're expecting from the new house? >> at the top of the list they want donald trump's tax returns and they will do anything they can get them. that will be the front and center, they want to look at everything of finances and hotels, it'll be nonstop drum beat week after weekday after day. the number one difference when i was chair of oversight committee was the national media would be on the side of the democrats, front and cen

brian: some of the people we know about we have seen texts peter strzok we saw lisa page.dent obama knew. there is some conclusions. >> there are we dive deep into that. and i think people will learn a lot from the book as far as the intelligence side is concerned. president in the interview goes on to talk about how the fbi, strzok and page in particular through the text messages talk about how they leaked information to the media then used those very stories to go and expand their investigation or go to the fisa court. it is so unethical. it's against the fabric of what the fbi is about. steve: well, do you a good job talking about the deep state. the permanent government in washington that doss not like this president. but it's really kind of sad that he has surrounded himself at times with members of, i think you referred to them as the november 9th club these people who are nodding yes i'm going to help you. in their heart of hearts, they're never trumpers. they just want a job. >> steve, what we saw and look previous administrationadministrations ht in rivals from ot

peter strzok pete: very close and what we're all wondering is the polls got it wrong in 2016 will theysay. >> to have a president who is able to command these crowds and be so active out in the trail and to make the case and they ask for those individual candidates 2016, same situation, same dynamic. everywhere then mr. trump, candidate trump would go nowses of people would follow and wait sometimes in the rain for hours and the media ask the same question. will they vote? no they just sit in the rain for three hours to get inside the rally and be left outside, but no they're not going to show up and vote. many have already voted. ed: two years ago this weekend to her point the prediction model said hillary clinton, 98% chance of being the next president of the united states. obviously didn't happen this weekend, prediction models say 86% roughly that the democrats are going to take back the house , so have people not learned a lesson of 2016? we'll see. pete: you look at how over 90% of so-called mainstream media coverage has been negative against this president it almost feels like t

all right well this one from fox & friends camera operator chris chulo, his dad, peter strzok a korean & friends team connected to service, just like you connected to veterans and tonight you won't want to miss it 8:00 p.m. really you'll go behind the scenes with the post pro mile vets most highly decorated vets of this generation, medal of honor recipient dakota meyer, it's going to be a behind the scenes candid conversation about life as a vet today, war fighter in combat, 8:00 on the fox news channel i had the honor to sit those four men and hear them speak for an hour. >> katie: listening to them talk to you about why you guys served. pete: yeah and they got comfortable so they start telling stories. ed: pete thank you for your service as well we were live with the army band from fox square which became an integral part of our election coverage in the mid-terms and will be heading into 2020 as well and folks it's game on for 2020. the 2018 results still coming in and that's where we start with a fox news alert. all eyes are on florida. florida. florida where the ballot recount is o

peter strzok we said it before too.e goldberg and i can't talk about it with you at the dinner table? ed: here is an e-mail. my family remains very divided when it comes to politics. new rule established in 2016. no politics periods at family gatherings and all is good. jedediah: from mark, my best friend is a democrat i am a hard right conservative so why are we friends? because we never ever talk politics that's a great point. pete: we love to talk politics on holidays we are so happy to be winning. listen, i love talking politics with anybody. jedediah: you don't say, pete. i'm shocked! pete: but with liberals anybody of good nature, like i love talking about it so the idea that you've got to sit there and not talk about it? jedediah: i think that's a thing if you can do it in a way that doesn't ruin the thanksgiving dinner that's great. people are trying to say let's not make it a big fight, because there's so many fights that don't go on. ed: marsha, not tired of winning jedediah: we're turning now to your headline
