. >>> joining us is peter strzok. peter, so nice to see you here. there were two types of victimhood being claimed by douglas jensen there? that whitney wild report. number one, he was the victim of some kind of manipulation, moral manipulation, and the second was he was somehow being threatened by one of the capitol police officers on capitol grounds. your view on both. >> i think that's an extraordinary statement for him to make that he might be threatened in any way. his story points to the absolute necessity to having a commission to look into exactly what happened on january 6th. we're well past the point of having any debate about whether or not that's necessary. it's necessary simply to get the facts on the record about what happened on that day in a way that's not objectionable, not debatable by anybody that's there. it's broader than that. we need to have a commission because there are a lot of things that went wrong. so a bipartisan committee who can come together and look at those things, come up with solutions, is absolutely essential. t

former fbi agent peter strzok who once worked on the russia investigation and a former acting a.g. how does he think the doj's inspector general should be going on about this and what do these two guys think about what they just heard from former a.g. next. so what's going on? [dog] i'm a talking dog. the other issue. [dog] oh...i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 9 million dogs. [dog] nice. and... the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chances of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers t

we will have more on that coming up tonight on at 11:00 peter strzok the bay area facebook suspending donald trump's facebook account. for at least the next two years. allen martin joining us now with the implications of the decision. >>> facebook headed down the ban after finding donald trump's to the violence of the january 6th insurrection at the u.s. apple. the president will still be banned from facebook for the 2022 midterm elections. mr. trump would be eligible for reinstatement in the january 2023. a group of experts make the final decision. comes with major change, facebook will no longer treat posed by politicians any differently from what is posted by anybody else. i spoke with the editor at large earlier today. >> up until january 6, every world leader on the entire facebook and instagram plenums were left to do whatever they want to, right? i can harass people in front them and do whatever. i and you, we would get banned in a moment but they could do whatever. it cause a lot of trouble. they will have to follow the same rules as you and me . >> reporter: mr. trump issued

. >>> joining us now "new york times" washington correspondent maggie peoplerman and peter strzok. look, peter, i want to start with you. there have been corruption investigations into members of congress where you look into certain things to figure out if they did something wrong. i can't think of anything quite like this, what adam schiff describes as a fishing expe expedition. any precedent here? what do you make of it? >> i would say, look, there's certainly reasons to have these investigations open. there were real problems with leaks in 2016 and '17, and the government has an obligation to maintain classification and look at the people illegally disclosing it. having said that, i worked in the media leak investigations for 15 years, and i can't remember an instance as this of such a broad scope. we now have eight or more reporters whose records were obtained, multiple members of congress. they were always treated deferentially due to freedom of speech. to go after family members and minors, it's unprecedented in my experience. >> maggie, what do you think of this? sometimes th

not long ago the irs was going after conservative groups, we sold the fbi it was lisa paige and peter strzok has to stop it is one of the reasons that we really should be trying to make the irs smaller not larger, biden getting tens of thousands of agents to the irs that have no accountability to the american people that the information will be protected. elizabeth: the lois lerner thing really stuck out that was about conservative nonprofit being given a hard time to achieve nonprofit status it was a suppression of free speech. covering the irs for decades and testifying twice about irs and tax reform the sense that i got from congress we exist for the government. the irs workers were basically saying that is the attitude that they felt that it would be dragged into politics, mark cuban is same pro public that did the story is not being honest about the story they were basically showing income taxes as a percentage of the overall wealth when wealth is not taxed is not taxed under the u.s. constitution, were talking about paper wealth it is fleeting asked tech.com and the tech bubble without

you look at hillary clinton, peter strzok, cnn pond and saying, we cannot locate countries on the map and joe biden saying if you open them, you're a neanderthal. >> i think this individual works with "the new york times" and i think she's making way too much. trying to just sound intelligent. a couple of points, symbols matter. a nation has a shared history and culture and tradition. when i see the american flag, i see that flag that was triumphantly and heroically, i see a flag that where we had hundreds of thousands of veterans that sacrifice their lives. i see a flag that has been a beacon for liberty all over the world. it means something similar and different, but the unifying principle is that were made in the image of god regardless of skin color and regardless of your personal beliefs, but this country has worked because that transcends all of those pre-existing tribalism that we will get back into. the second thing, there is an incentive structure to be mad about nothing at "the new york times." the business model to find hate where it doesn't exist and ignore it where it do

. >> peter strzok was the top investigator.he reportedly suggested in texts that leaks could have been coming from democrats. g.o.p. members on the intelligence committee also have questions. >> did prosecutors exceed their authority under the attorney general guidelines, the agg or did the investigating fbi agents exceed their authority under the domestic investigation and operations guidelines? will. >> what the defense studied was phone records this is called metadata. it doesn't reveal what was said in the phone calls. these are electronic bread crumbs about who is talking to who. >> based on my old days as a spy, i was less worried about who the secretary of whatever was talking to than i was worried about his assistant or his or her assistant and who they were talking to. and i think this gives you some insight as to, you know, it's not necessarily the primary people, it may be the secondary people. >> that helps in the leak investigation. former attorneygeneral bill bars never briefed on the inquiry. democrats want to he

we saw in the fbi a few years ago it was lisa page and peter strzok that said they needed to stop trumpd be trying to make the irs smaller, not larger. biden is adding tens of thousands of agents to the irs that have no accountability to the american people that their information would be protected. elizabeth: yeah. the lois lerner thing really stuck out because that was about, you know, conservative nonprofits being given a hard time to achieve nonprofit status, and it was sort of a suppression of free speech. you know, covering the irs for decades and testifying twice before congress about irs and tax reform, the sense that i got from congress is that we exist for the government, right? and the irs workers were telling -- were basically saying, yeah, that's the attitude they felt. they don't want to be dragged into politics. and mark cuban is saying propublica is not being honest about the story, that they were basically showing income taxes as a percentage of their overall wealth when wealth is not taxed. it's not taxed under the u.s. constitution the, only income. is so we're talkin
