he only hedged once, which they documented, the fbi agents, peter strzok documented in his 302. strzok said he and this other fbi agent who interviewed flynn had the impression at the time that flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying. flynn struck strzok, the fbi agent as bright but not profoundly sophisticated. what's interesting about this is that flynn's attorneys are arguing had it was the fbi agents who went in there under false pretenses. they were acting like they were friends with him, we're just allies trying to get information and in essence tricked him into lying. that's why they wanted this information released. it is very rare we get to see these kinds of documents. we're getting an inside view now of the interview, of what it was like at the white house when the fbi agents went there to talk to michael flynn. there's more here obviously we're going through, talked about when they received a phone call from michael flynn, how all what went down. this is fascinating because we never get the chance to look inside the room of an interview. that's what we're g

the same peter strzok who said no we will stop him and most importantly the same peter strzok who when talking to his girlfriend 10 months into this investigation after michael flynn's story a had already been told was saying there is no there there. there is no evidence of collusion with michael flynn or president trump or anyone else. this whole thing is a joke. michael flynn won't be facing any prison time but he would have face nod legal jeopardy at all if he just wouldn't have pled guilty because they would have never gotten a conviction with peter strzok as their star witness. >> sean: okay. let's go through where we are here with the sentencing issues. mark, you actually had a really good column on this. all right so, michael flynn we got process crime, lying to the fbi. but the fbi we know didn't think he lied. and they did surveil him illegally, unmask him illegally and leaked raw intelligence illegally but let's forget that part we got it illegally. he has a process crime. michael cohen, taxicab medallions and taxes and he lied to congress, okay? i listed all these democrats

peter strzok says we are going to wave an insurance plan against this president.number two at the trish: i want to know what was going on today to destabilize the presence ultimately successful campaign what happened with that hold dossier. opposition research makes its way into the hands of the fbi and present it before a judge to get a fisa warrant and no one ever bothers to tell the judge who paid for that research which was hillary clinton and her team. >> what is the motive of democrats wanting us to investigate that pay the dossier paid for by the dnc paid for by hillary clinton to bruce ohr at doj who works for gps passed to jim kobe -- jim comey. not just an american citizen but someone working on the trump campaign. we need to investigate that so why would democrats want that? reagan that makes sense. let me turn to the news breaking tonight and that is mueller coming forward with more of these memos. as i pored through them and you maam have a legal background, i don't see anything that would -- okay coalition definitely. the president and his team collu

the only look at the text between peter strzok and -- page.wrote peter strzok omg trump is an idiot. ms. page's response hillary should win 100000000-0. if that's not the definition nation of viasat not sure quite what is mr. nadler. politics aside those two i realy didn't want president trump to win. this is just a small sample here across more than a year and 50,000 texts between lisa page and peter strzok use another for you. lisa page, trump is not ever going to become president, right, right? no, he won't. we will stop it. by as much? us be clear to the american people deserve, absolutely deserve to know what motivated these fbi officials. i don't care if you don't see any dais mr. nadler. the rest of america does. so do your job, find out what the heck happened and stopped being so political and biased yourself. here with me right now to react rnc spokesperson kayleigh mcenany. caylee and i get that you are the rnc spokesperson so you have your agenda and it is political but i'm going to sit her there and tell you that there is no way an

the irs to benghazi to peter strzok and james comey, trey gowdy always reacting to the sentencing, today of course of michael cohen one. >> the folks who thought he was a liar liar, a jury will not be someone like michael cohen one. if your case hinges on the credibility of michael cohen, good luck! >> more firm trey gowdy, first from ed henry. good to see you. >> michael cohen one said he would take a bullet for the president and now he is turned on his former boss that is facing three years in prison. he arrived at the courthouse in new york with his wife, the cost of these investigations but in court he went into the president saying he was motivated by blind loyalty to cover up what he called the president's dirty deed. tonight, the president's current attorney rudy giuliani is firing back. he says, how can he claim blind loyalty when he was taping his own client? he also declaring mueller's probe is a witch hunt. he is ignoring that he has lied to them on others. he will surrender for prison on march 6th after pleading guilty to some crimes that are nothing to do with the president-

peter strzok was one of the agents who interviewed him.e me your read on this. >> the fact that he interviewed him? >> give me your read on all of this. >> you know, the other question that could have been included in garrett's excellent opening was why did michael flynn think he could have conversations with people like the russian ambassador without being heard, without that getting back to the united states intelligence? this is part of another bizarre pattern of secrecy, which leads to a whole bunch of lies. i mean michael flynn thinks he can talk to the russian ambassador about the easing of sanctions and the united states intelligence is not intelligent enough to know about that. >> well, he didn't think he was going to get caught. isn't that the simple answer? he didn't think he was going to get caught or he thought hes would above the law, or he could outsmart -- >> that might be a good explanation for the guy driving the cab over here to cnn, but it's not for somebody who ran the defense intelligence agency. i mean he should know

between fired fbi agents, peter strzok and the lovely, lisa paige, his lover?ed they have been erased and wiped clean. what an outrage as the totally compromised and conflicted witchhunt moves ever so slowly forward. what happened here? >> my guess is that the mueller team had to get rid of lisa paige and peter strzok because the ig discovered they were biased against the white house and people they were investigating. and so, i think it was a simple matter of what we have seen the doj and fbi do. they quickly hide the ball and cover up their tracks, hoping that no one would actually catch them in this. and you know the fact that you know that you have two biased agents and you would erase any of their phones, what should have been immediately happened was the phones you know, any dedicated public servant would have said look, i am not going to obstruct an investigation. these employees did wrong. those phones should have been turned over immediately to the ig. so the ig could conduct investigation pierces they didn't do that, these are sophisticated operators,

one of those agents was peter strzok famous for his anti-trump texts to his fbi paramour.now what critics say, that strock tried to skew this whole thing with bias even though the i.g. report and mr. comey claims that there was no bias in the investigation. >> well, absolutely. i mean, peter strzok even said in a series of tests he didn't think there was any "there" there, and he was apparently one of the authors of the original 302 saying general flynn did not lie. the question is who rewrote that 302 report to support the charging of general flynn who largely pled guilty to save himself the expense of a trial and to protect his son. eric: how do we get that information on how that changed, do you know? >> it's going to be up to judge sullivan. it's going to be interesting to see how the orders are complied with and does he order these documents to be released publicly. i hope so, and the american people should hope so too. eric: finally, what strikes me is that the two agents, including peter strzok, go over to the white house, flynn is relaxed and jocular, yet when the

peter strzok and lisa page? the ones that clearly display their hatred for president trump? are you out there saying there was never any bias. the ones where they vowed to make sure the president, now president would never make it to the oval office? there is a whole lot of bias there. i'm setting the record straight for you on why these probes must continue. don't go anywhere. [ telephone rings ] [ client ] - hey maya. hey! you still thinking about opening your own shop? every day. i think there are some ways to help keep you on track. and closer to home. edward jones grew to a trillion dollars in assets under care, by thinking about your goals as much as you do. >> the entire purpose of this investigation is smaller. there is no evidence whatsoever by the fbi or any of this other nonsense they are talking about. trish: come on, really? incoming house judiciary chair jerry nadler saying he will dismantle the investigation into the department of justice's actions in 2015. lawmakers have been trying to figure out of course whether there was a deliberate effort to undermine ca

actions, peter strzok's actions, comey's actions.omey's immersion, we bought into this in the obama administration, or the bush administration. thisis is week one of the trump administration. they chose me it was set up by the get-go, u day one. >> i've been lucky to interview most fbi directors and former fbi director's. i have never in my life heard an fbi director talk the way that director comey did on sunday night. it's not the language that fbi and law enforcement use. let me say something else tonight about michael flynn. in may of 2017, there was a document identified to a small number of people in the united states government. as in the possession of the defense intelligence agency. for 18 months, there has been an effort to resist declassifying that document. i know that document contains extraordinary exculpatory evidence about general flynn. i don't think the president has been told about this. one lawmaker discovered it but he was thwarted by the defense intelligence agency, the ability disclose it. i think we all should

that peter strzok did things wrong. and they end up leaving the agency's. you rid of the bad actors. comey said the other day "i'm proud of what the fbi did under my leadership." but he see of what mr. mccabe did? is a part of what predistracted? he should be asked that question. are you proud of what they developed with fusion gps, which was funded by a political organization to disrupt a political election in this country? is he really proud of all those things that the fbi did that not only are viewed by most of us as a mistake, but led to the dismissal of people at the fbi? >> katie: somebody getting fired in washington, d.c., is very rare. the fact that andrew mccabe was fired, peter strzok was fired, not only just fired, but andrew mccabe has been referred for criminal by the attorney in washington, d.c. those are big develop meds. the question is now how christopher wray decides to bring other people in, to ensure that their political biases are not getting into their work. it's a huge deal. i want to say, based on the way washington, d.c., works, us

winding conflicted mueller witch hunt is that the fact that 19,000 demanded text messages between peter strzoknd his fbi lover lisa panel was purposely and illegally deleted which would explain the hoax. last week the inspector general announced it recovered 19,000 strzok-page texts from 2016 and 2017 bhp that'2017 claiming it e to wipe the devices clean in order to give them to other users. joining me now were victoria toensing, jo digenova, founding partners of digenova and toensing law firm. let's start with the antics of judge sullivan today. and your reaction to his words, his conduct and what are you thoughts? >> well, it's bizarre is the only way i can describe it. this is not the judge sullivan that we know who has decorum in the courtroom. this is not the judge sullivan who took the prosecution to task for their horrible deback wl the ted stephens case and even had a special lawyer come in to examine the misconduct by the justice department. this was weird. just plain -- i've been doing federal law for three decades. i have never seen anything so bizarre. and asking about treason, he

but peter strzok claims he gave peter strzok different answers thann a previous interview. and that's why michael flynn ended up pleading guilty to a false statement. trish: michael cohen said in the first go-around donald trump was talking about maybe building a tower in moscow and those conversations ended around january, 2016. forgive me if i'm off by a couple weeks because i don't want to get in trouble. but it turned out the conversations were til going on through june of 2016. >> the issue is from donald trump, jr.'s testimony, there were multiple conversations about multiple issues with multiple people. and don junior could be remembering a different period and a different person. both of those things can be true. i believe this whole thing is hogwash. there has been no evidence of russian collusion. michael cohen pled guilty to tax he vision and wire fraud it had nothing to do with the campaign. the same thing -- trish: they are trying to get him on anything they can. do you think it's the the same thing with general flynn? >> it's terrible to see what they have don

agents lisa paige and peter strzok and general counsel, james baker.man for california, gregg jarrett and author of the nearest timesbestseller, the russia hoax, great to have you both here. let's begin , you lived with the ninth circuit court of appeals. what a test that is for law, how does your reaction to the ruling? >> well, lou, and passionate first amendment lawyer. i found this decision to be crazy because it was not even with the plaintiff who was appealing, the defendant appealed the case asked for. the judge's after seeing the original briefs reached out and asked him to reach the other issue. the law says it's in a crime to encourage him to come the country stay in the country illegally. just like it is a crime to encourage anyone to break and of love. they are sympathetic to people encouraging relatives to stay legally or lawyers encouraging clients to stay illegally. the law violated the first amendment. i think the case is ripe for an appeal to the united states supreme court. it makes no sense. >> if that's the case, it would just add t

moments ago, robert mueller has released a preflynn interview document, the official note from peter strzok and an unnamed age of surrounding their january 2017 interrogation of lieutenant general flynn. we will break this down, this development, coming up. but first, disgraced former fbi director james comey was back on capitol hill. and it was pretty rattled. take a look. >> another day of clinton's emails and the steel dossier. this is lying about the fbi, attacking the fbi and attacking the rule of country. >> the words of the president matter and the rule of law matters. where are those republicans today? at some point someone has to stand up in the face of fear of fox news, . >> the fbi reputation has taken a big hit over the last year. do you share any of the responsibility for this? >> no. the fbi's reputation has taken a big hit because the president of the united states with his acolytes has lied about it constantly. >> judge pirro: joining us now with more on what went on during his trip to the hill is catherine harwich. >> after the nearly four hour session, james comey talk to

thousands of texts between peter strzok and lisa page wiped clean before turning their phones over to the inspector general. and fbi director comey took his notes from his meeting with trump to the media and he sent over the two fbi investigateddors over to the white house. gregg jarret, and starting with what seems to be to be an admission by the fbi director that he was following law or procedure or observing the rights of general flynn when he sent over as he cutely put it, a couple of fbi agents to the white house. >> that's exactly right. but let's talk about why were they there in the first place why were they going to interview sometime in they were interviewing him because the obama administration unmasked his conversations. this is the incoming national security director whose job it's going to be to communicate with foreign leaders. during the transition that's what he was doing. the obama administration recorded those and gave the transcripts of those conversations to the fbi. the fbi read those conversations with ambassador -- russian ambassador kislyak, then they see an a

they are entitled to any evidence that shows bias by a witness, and peter strzok who would have beenitness in this case in many cases showed a clear bias in text messages with his lover, paige. it was wrong for that justice to get rid of these text messages. they were the subject of an oig investigation already and it seems to be a constitutional violation that they cannot provide these text messages to any current or future defendant. >> mark: peter strzok is this weird figure because there are like 35,000 fbi employees but somehow, this guy is the indispensable guy. he's on the hillary investigation, the trump investigation, he gets sent to the white house to stitch up michael flynn, he gets flown to london to see alexander downer, the high commissioner, so they can get the goods on papadopoulos. then, is sent to the special counsel's office. according to the oig report, the special counsel's office that reviewed these cell phones and put them back on factory settings. isn't that corruption in the special counsel's office? >> it certainly seems like it could be, but my concern here

first of all, peter strzok was a deputy assistant director of the fbi. deputy assistant directors don't conduct interviews. special agents, street age of the conduct interviews. even at that level, i have interviewed very high level people myself. that shows me that they were dealing with this outside the norm of fbi procedure. >> shannon: i want to touch on jim comey on the hill today. catherine herridge had a chance to meet up with him today. here's a little bit of their interchange. >> the fbi's reputation that has taken a big hit over the last year. do you share any other response abilities for that? >> no. the fbi's repetition has taken a big hit because the president of the united states with his accolades has lied about it constantly. >> how much of that is the president's fault, and both democrats and republicans have been furious at comey at some point the last year oratorical. >> especially when james comey come there are plenty of reasons to criticize and whether you are a liberal, conservative, democrat. i think what the forward director was

ago, robert mueller has publicly released preflynn interview document, the official note from peter strzok and an unnamed age of surrounding their january 2017 interrogation u of lieutenant general flynn. we will break this down, this7 development, coming up. but first, disgraced former fbi director james comey was back on capitol hill. taking questions from lawmakers behind closed doors. we don't know exactly what went on inside the hearing. we do know that comey was pretty rattled during a subsequent press conference where he chastised president trump, republican lawmakers, and even fox news. take a look. >> another day of clinton's emails and the steele dossier.r. this, while the president of the united states, is lying about the fbi, attacking the fbi, and attacking the rule of law in this country. republicans used to understand that the actions of a presidents matter, the words of a president matter is, the rule of law matters, and the truth matters. where are those republicans today? at some point, someone has to stand up, in the face of fear of fox news, fear of their base, fear of

. >> laura: including peter strzok, who was there. >> including peter strzok.did the fa agents really say about this? i comey read the transcript of these conversations? and did comey believe that michael flynn was going to face a false statement charge? because members of congress say that comey told them he did not expect michael flynn to be indicted. >> laura: the sentencing memos are going to come out on friday. both manafort and cohen. it's going to be a big news night tomorrow. what do you expect if anything comey behind closed doors look at the transcript on saturday with what he says, what light will he shed on this question we posed at the top? how do hillary's aides seem to always get away and the end? they get away with this stuff. >> he's been questioned about stuff like this before because as you remember, it was over the july 4th holiday in 2016 that they questioned her. and then almost instantly they exonerated her. >> laura: he wasn't there during the questioning. >> no, but it's as if the fbi didn't even check her testimony. we later learned th

eric: the james comey transcript reveals he would not have kept fbi officials and lovers peter strzokage on the clinton investigation if he had known about their infamous texts. page texting at one point that trump simply cannot be president. strzok wrote that trump's an idiot and hillary should win 100 million to one. comey was asked knowing about that, would he have kept them on the investigation. he said he would not have. joining us now is brett behr. despite the inspector general's report that there was no overt political influence, that seems to be a significant admission by the former fbi director that the feelings of strzok and page could have influenced the investigation. how do you interpret that? >> i think so. he said something similar, maybe not that definitive in my interview with him a yo few mons back. going through this 235 page release of this transcript, i think there are a couple things that are really interesting. one is how many times jim comey says i don't he know don't knowt remember and having talked to a lawmaker who was in this testimony, there was a lot of

he sent in peter strzok and reno peter strzok with text messages and also, andy mccabe. mccabe is the one that convinced him not to have an attorney. these are all familiar names we have been talking about in the russia interference investigation. kennedy: i think they should have all known better. flynn should have known better and certainly mccabe and peter strzok had a professional responsibility to let him know what the stakes of the interview were. and that michael flynn might've been the subject or target of an investigation and this was not merely a couple of fellas sharing intel. >> agreed. they should have done this. they should have gone through mcgann. potentially they should have given him his miranda rights. kennedy: but that's -- and i tend to agree with some of the other legal experts to say that this is not necessarily entrapment. but, if what follows from this interview is a series of criminal charges, then certainly, it should have been a much more forthright process. it -- if nothing else.>> it is possibly unethical but there was a remedy that michael

his lawyers in this memo say that peter strzok and one other fbi agent visited flynn in the west wing after he first made those false statements about his contacts with the russians. flynn did not have a lawyer with him. and according to his attorneys, he should have been warned he could be prosecuted for making false statements. >> they go on to claim the bureau decided the agents would not warn flynn that it was a crime to lie during an fbi interview because they wanted him to be relaxed, and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect the report. special counsel robert mueller has told the court flynn provided substantial assistance to the investigation and should be spared from going to prison. the judge overseeing his sentencing makes the final call on tuesday. >>> lawyers for former trump campaign chairman paul manafort say they may not challenge claims that he violated his plea deal by lying to prosecutors. last week robert mueller's team claimed manafort lied about five major issues including his contact with administration officials. in a court hearing

have mueller's phone numbers and they aren't friends in has been and lot of criticism directed at peter strzokhis text messages and whether he had anti-trump bias. comey told them it was strong who helped him draft the memo about hillary clinton. comey says it's hard to believe strzok was in league with clinton and against trump. comey said that he had confidence in the fisa process and the warrant to surveil carter page. though when asked to sign off on a major political campaign, he said he didn't know. he said he felt president trump asked him to halt the probe during their february 2017 meeting and said that's why he wrote this memorandum. he said president obama did not ask him to investigate the trump campaign. this isn't over. comey appears before the committees on december 17. so many conservatives aren't satisfied with this investigation. republican florida representative matt gaetz says the way the committees handled this reminds him of the death rattle of republican oversight. judge jeanine: my next guest had a front-row seat for james comey's defendant money. congressman jim jordan

officials peter strzok and lisa page.pse of that yesterday in comey's previous testimony two weeks ago where some of the lawmakers wanted to know specifics about why didn't hillary clinton wind up getting charged with anything? john ratcliffe at one point asked james comey the day before the clinton interview on july 1 lisa page texted peter strzok and loretta lynch and said it's a real profile in courage since she, meaning lynch, no knows charges will be brought? she said i don't remember, i read it. i think i've read about it in the media. answers like that where comey does not remember things have been very, very frustrating to republican lawmakers so now they are about to have a chance to see if his old boss, loretta lynch, who just walked past us will be any more forthcoming. >> bill: how big a factor is the tarmac meeting between loretta lynch and bill clinton? >> it's central to the entire investigation. what republican lawmakers are trying to figure out, they're trying to use subpoena power to figure out why the t

it wasn't a summary of interview, it was is summary of peter strzok about that interview.ot. i don't -- mueller did not even ask for jail time for flynn, which is unprecedented in the situation. >> a couple things here. that should tell you he gave up all the goods on everybody. >> bill: heavily redacted. we don't know. you assume something to be there. we don't know and what we're waiting on. >> those conversations he had some happened before they were office with the kislyak and the quid pro quo. one happened before they were in office. >> congress -- the obama administration cited the logan act as part of the concern and the need to talk to michael flynn. that is a joke. the logan act has been around for 218 years and nobody prosecuted under it. the big thing nobody is paying attention to why was it a counter intelligence investigation. guidelines for special counsel criminal investigations and establish a crime in order to appoint a special counsel. counter intelligence investigations allowed for open-endedness. you don't have to establish a time from the beginning. it

they provided one 7 months later of an interview of peter strzok just before he was removed from thereally word circumstance. and sullivan is a judge who doesn't like these things. >> he was fired from the administration for lying. >> and he said he lied. >> bret: so maybe there was other pressure. >> i don't know. he said they didn't warm him that he had to tell the truth. >> what is what came out. mccabe said don't worry about it. we don't want to involve lawyers. we will just have a friendly chat. the day before they leaked to the "washington post" they cleared flynn so he was comfortable. >> bret: he is the ahead of a defense agency. he knows you have to tell the truth. >> molly made a great point. he lied to the vice-president of the united states and admitted lying to the vice-president. that's the problem and the reason the president fired him. lying to the vice-president is a non-starter. >> bret: a lot to learn here. we are learning it every day. next up the friday lightning round and winners and losers. and people talking] with all the selection you'll find at bass pro shop

>> flynn allies, including the president, latched on to the fact that flynn was interviewed by peter strzok who was later fired over anti-trump texts. flynn suggests he was tricked into lying because he did not have a lawyer with him. the memo with the questions and answers debunks that claim. here is white house correspondent kaitlan collins with more. >> reporter: dave and christine, michael flynn is expected to be sentenced in the federal d.c. court today. we know special counsel robert mueller has recommended litt little-to-no jail time. the special counsel released a memo detailing the notes that the fbi agents took when they interviewed michael flynn at the white house in his office when he lied to him about his interactions during the transition period. they asked about his conversations with sergei kislyak and an upcoming u.n. vote on the israeli saettlement and discussed the russian expulsion of the spies during the interference in the obama administration. he asked to mute reaction to that because the trump administration would come into office in a matter of days. what we were se

one of the agents meeting with flynn, peter strzok. of course, fired for his rampant anti-trump bias. in other words, the three main people initially involved in the flynn case have been fired. think about that. one day after learning about the shady interrogation tactics from the fbi, well, here's a judge, u.s. district judge named emmett sullivan. he's now ordered the special counsel to turn over all of the government's documents related to this questioning of general flynn. by the way, by tomorrow. a rare move from a federal judge. which brings us to a shocking new development. the federalist pointed out something that was brilliant. what could be in my mind a major bomb shell inside the flynn sentencing memo. they pointed out a foot note 23. foot note 23 represents the 302 memo of august. flint's interview was in january, four days in the presidency. his interview happened way back when. here's the problem. flynn's interview with the fbi on january 24, 2017, the 302 is written seven months later? now in text messages unfortunately

the peter strzok lisa page texts? joining me right now, andrew stoltman. general flynn should have realized the severity of it. but clearly he didn't under the circumstances and james comey had no problem with that. is that some kind of violation of something? >> there are so many violations here, it's amazing. nobody said what michael anyone did wasn't wrong. clearly it was. but this has nothing to do with russian collusion. this has to do with him lying with respect to russian collusion wirt had to do with fbi agents coming to him, not telling him he had to have a lawyer so he got confused. yes he lied and his life has been ruined. but it's not the kidnapping of the lindbergh baby. trish: they are getting him on technicalities. you can't lie to the feds. but that said, that's not the action that keeps on getting us further away from what happened. you look at this transcript. you saw how i led the show. i'm disgusted with the fact that james comey didn't care so much some care who was paying for the dossier, and didn't think the judge needed to know that

they send in agents like peter strzok and they gave him an opportunity to live. he shouldn't have done it but that's not the way the fbi should operate and they should never discourage anybody from bringing a lawyer. i have never had a client to sit down with the fbi, i've never had a client testify. they aren't here to help you, they are pretending they are friendly and he fell into the trap, it's his own fault but i'm not talking about him. as a civil libertarian, do we want our government officials to behave this way to help create crimes? >> laura: they are on the hunt, one more questions i want to ask. why are they redacting the agents name who interviewed michael flynn with peter strzok? what would be the reason for redacting the name? >> it's unclear because his name is generally out there and i heard people confirm it -- they are filing it under we just don't put the names of agents out there. >> it's kind of important people think this whole thing is biase biased. we want to know who started this ball rolling with the investigation. we want to know who w

that august 302 is an interview with peter strzok about the january 24th interview. >> you have directoromey suddenly full of memories and experiences when he goes on his book tour, he can't seem to come up with the same information. he suddenly has his full memory on his book tour. there is an exchange between comey and gates, the acting attorney general, they are days into this new administration what do you make that exchange? >> comey was hiding the fact he's going to send over fbi agents to interview, he was hiding it from yates. we aren't going to tell her right before the interview and she got mad about it, that's in today's court documents. they had a scheme where they're not going to tell him we had a transcript and we'll try to ensnare him into making a false statement. in the end, they didn't do that. what's really disturbing is not just lying to flynn but encouraging him not to have an attorney there and several other deceptions that are all contained in this document which is really a document of corruption by the fbi. >> and i think it's going to be fascinating what judge s
