now, of course the insurance policy was none other than the russia conclusion hoax, peter strzok became the lead investigator into the bogus conspiracy theory. his bias was career and obvious and political and strzok never ever faced legal consequences. it's why i often say we don't have equal justice or equal application of our laws in america any longer. that is a sad thing to say, but sadly it's true. strzok ends up with a book deal, his anti trump fbi girlfriend got hired by msdnc. strzok his sem has received numerous invitations to appear all over cable news including this morning, on with liberal morning joe, our old friend. take a look. >> it's not that the fbi is targeting any one side or the other. what you see is the fbi going out on a day in day out basis objectively investing allegations of law. >> sean: a guy that said we'll stop it, we'll stop it, the fbi will stop it and if your plan doesn't work we have an insurance policy, no way he's going to win. the lack of self awareness there, should seem shocking to everybody but keep in mind neither strzok or his superiors at the

former assistant attorney general tom dupree and former fbi counter espionage chief peter strzok are e. thank you for sticking around, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> i am curious from you, peter, about what just happened today. i mean "the washington post" reporting is a jaw dropper. but so was this press conference. have you ever seen something like this from the a.g. on a case? >> well, i've certainly seen it on -- never on a case about a former president. that's for sure. we are in uncharted territory, whether it is the search at mar-a-lago, whether it's the decision the a.g. should or should not say something, whether there's an ultimate decision about whether or not to charge a former president with a crime, none of this has happened before in our nation's history. i have not seen something like this because i don't think any of us have seen something like this. i think the attorney general has done an extraordinary job today. he is a man who has entered the job seeking to return normalcy to the department of justice, seeking to re-establish past norms. and for him to say anything i

you want to trust peter strzok, one of the highest ranking officials in the department? the lead investigator on the bureau's most sensitive, high-level political cases. today he tweeted this. "why does trump have to go passports the russian passport, of course, is kept in a vault and only swapped out at third country meets, so it can't be that one." is that supposed to be funny, is that like hillary's and what about the emails? it's pretty unhinged, this tinfoil hat conspiracy, and frankly, the rank arrogance of people like peter strzok and hillary clinton, you know, using a lie and a theory that he perpetrated on the country. a guy that was once tasked with investigating donald trump and a guy that lied about russia collusion. peter strzok was fired three years ago after an investigation uncovered a trove of anti-trump texts and emails, including some from 2016 involving a plot -- a specific plot to stop donald trump ever having a chance to win. if one august 16th, at x for his fbi girlfriend lisa page reading "trump is not ever going to become president, right, right?

you're going to listen to peter strzok.d story. i thought at this point in 2022 i would no longer be at the point where i'm living in the former president's head rent free. when the demons come at night, there i am. >> i think it is too aggressive position when you're dealing with a former president. elizabeth: for aggressive position with the doj, fbi did with the search. by the way peter strzok was removed from mueller's trump-russia probe and fired from the fbi for anti-trump bias. your reaction to what you just heard, both those sound bites? >> on the peter strzok, there is not all about him. there is a lot involving that doesn't involve peter strzok. for him to say he is living inside of the president's head i don't know what to make of that. it is not all about peter. what i love to hear democrats are taking a fair and moderate approach. what we heard from the congressman, recognition, one thing when you're talking about prosecuting a ordinary criminal suspect. it is another thing when the person you're investigating

i know peter strzok has done these affidavits.verything in there, virtually everything in there, other than the absolute meaningless formalities is important to your investigation. otherwise, you couldn't wouldn't put it in there in the first place. it sounds to me like the judge is trying to land in the middle here, be able to say there was some type of disclosure. so, doj's going to have to get out their redaction pens but i think they're going to be using those pens liberally. >> peter, your thoughts? >> you know, i absolutely agree with elie. i think in large measure, what we will see at the end of the day are maybe the citations of a couple of statutes, the elements of those crimes, but anything that goes to the investigation, anything that provides the detail and the data, the facts that are supporting that affidavit, i fully expect will be blacked out. so whatever it ends up being, 20 to 30 pages, i would expect 29 lines will be filled with black lines. the government has a week to do this. they certainly, if the judge does

so they left peter strzok, ms in nc has struck it seven times since the raid. fake new cnn has a whopping eight times. now the new boss of fake new cnn, he vowed to bring hard news back to the network. chris, what is going on? was literally fired for anti-trump political bias and is on text saying he will stop donald trump from becoming president. and if your plan does not work we have an insurance policy and your so-called news network is giving that guy eric time and calling him an expert? and saying his analysis is expert analysis. like anything? the media is supposed to speak truth to power, right? but no one at msn dnc has any interest in holding our federal government accountable so long as donald trump is out of office. here with reaction, donald trump with the intel committee and let's start "the wall street journal" and gregg jarrett pointed it out on air last night, and that is the federal records act actually gives authority to a former president to have custody and control of presidential papers. now when you accompany that with the timeline that we

if you want disinterested legal counsel, look at lisa page and peter strzok.are the fbi and you want to find out why hillary clinton hired a foreign national to find dirt on a political opponent then you will hire the same for national. and you look at the last four directors. we just saw christopher wray and he just stonewalled every question and then he flew in an fbi plan, our plan, a luxury jet because he had to go to his own vacation spot. he took over from andrew mccabe, what did he do? lied four times to federal investigators and his wife was running for office with clinton related tax money while he was investigating hillary clinton's email scandal. he took over about james comey, controversial devices on the media, and then when he was called on 245 occasions he said he didn't know and didn't remember. anyone -- irs and they are going to go to jail. and he took over from robert mueller whose entire special counsel case was based on two premises. the information that was false in the steele dossier and the shenanigans of the clinton hired gps disinform

here you have peter strzok saying listen, of course donald trump has a passport and russian passport. still driving the russian narrative after four years of driving it has been discredited but peter strzok and the fbi is going russia, russia, russia. >> oh, god. you know what my advise is to mr. strzok, you are a defendant in my case. i recommend you focus on your marriage, sir. stay out of this one. >> sean: that's probably pretty good advise. here is what i think is hang. the fbi and the doj do not want the affidavit out, right? because then we get to see all the details of why they did this search on the president. we will see the political nature of why they did this search. if we don't see the affidavit, then they can just systematically leak out the information they want. they get to control the media narrative because it's only the information they want us to see. not the information that they put in the affidavit. am i right? journalist called me writing this story how you could say that the doj or fbi could leak a witness. that has never happened, it would never happen. and

we're back with peter strzok and stephanie grisham. want you to listen to what the ranking member of the house intelligence community says about this investigation as compared to the hillary clinton email investigation. >> they are two different things. hillary clinton, while she was secretary of state, had classified material about her, classified communications traveling through her computer server in her house, putting her at risk for any counterintelligence or any others hacking into her materials. in this instance we don't really know this information is classified, the archivist saying something was labeled classified doesn't mean it is. we have to look at the substance what have the president has, these aren't ongoing communications of the president of the united states. the president, unlike hillary clinton, has the ability to declassify these materials. >> two points were made there. i would like you to respond to both of them. let's start with the one at the end, he says the president has the ability to declassify. does he ha

peter strzok has a tv deal. lisa page tv deal.cabe a tv deal and probably james comey is doing too much to settle speeches contract. this just came across the mass media seemed to wanted to put down dr. oz and herschel walker every single chance he can. i guess he didn't see the emerson poll not usually friendly to republicans. walker is leading when it documents warnock. comes to police he has their respect. when it comes to law enforcement in georgia. he has their respect. in south carolina, near georgia, what should people know about herschel walker? >> number one, he is going to be the next senator from georgia because warnock has been in biden's pocket. he has voted for every policy that biden wanted him to vote for. he hasn't done a damn thing about secure our broken border. he has increased inflation rather than trying to decrease it the bottom line is that we're going to do very well in november because the american people, president biden said something today, what the hell is going on? here's what is going on, mr. presid

joining me now to discuss all of this is former fbi counterintelligence agent, peter strzok. welcome. thank you for your time today. i want to break all this down. what is your reaction to the federal judge, saying he is an inclined to unseal portions of the mar-a-lago search affidavits? >> i think it's a little surprising in terms of this is not something that ordinarily happens. you know, of course this is a search for it, the first one of a former president of the united states. i think there is arguably a compelling public interest in the case. but. look i think at the end of the day, that's what the sensitive information in that affidavit, the things talking, the sources of information, all the things that the government believed to be true, that they have presented to the judge, will be redacted. i think there may be some things about the crimes that are under consideration, the elements of those crimes, there may be things that are possible to be released, but at the end of the day, i think this is a charge being very cautious in the case that is extraordinarily promin

>> joining us now is peter strzok, adjunct professor at georgetown university school of former and former deputy of the fbi's counter intelligence division. is the op author of compromised, counterintelligence and the threat of donald j trump. also bradley jay moss, it's a turning, and harry litman, deputy assistant general under president clinton. it's not legal affairs columnist for the new york times. peter let me start with you on that point joe biden just made about the republicans now being in favor of defund the fbi. did you think and you've been watching a republican change in attitude to put it mildly over the trump years towards the fbi. did you think it was coming to this that they would actually be the defund the fbi party? >> lawrence if you asked me that prior to 2016, having watched grown up in a republican house, having watched the party, having watched the values that they stood for in terms of national security and support for the military and law enforcement, my answer would be never in 1000 years. but watching with trump did over the course of this administration, the

we are back with peter strzok and stephanie grisham. new details of the fbi search of mar-a-lago, peter, i want you to listen to what the ranking member of the house intelligence community says about this investigation, as compared to the hillary clinton email investigation. >> they are two different things. when hillary clinton, while she was secretary of state, had classified material about a classified communications, traveling through her computer server in her house, putting it at risk or any counterintelligence, or any other but who are hacking into her materials. in this instance, we don't we know that this information are classified. the archivist think that something is label classified, it doesn't mean that it is. we need to look at the substance of what the president has. these are ongoing communications of the united states. also, the president of the night states elect hillary clinton has really declassified those materials. >> okay, two points or made there. i would like you to respond to both of them. let's start with a wi

peter strzok is the former fbi counterintelligence agent, and -- is a former united states attorney appointeddent george w. bush. peter, paul, nice to have you guys here this morning. first question i'm going to throw it to. peter peter, i want to know your reaction to the official confirmation, now, there is going to be a damage assessment of the top secret information that was found at mar-a-lago. it seems that this would be a pretty urgent priority in order to protect, perhaps, those human sources that are so critical for our national security. >> okay, absolutely. these are the kinds of things that for the intelligence community, the first order of business is to figure out what potential sources and methods messages are in play. but we, know because their documents that were -- documents controlled by the human control system. that these relate to the most sensitive and detailed information becoming from sources. getting handling with those sources aren't whether or not they are safe, whether or not anything needs to be done to protect them, up to a conclusion -- whatever they may be wor

people just like james comey and peter strzok who said they would stop donald trump from ever becoming president in 2016 and of course they had a plan and an insurance policy if their plan failed. so make no mistake, the deep state is real, know that they do hate you. retired general michael hayden who served as cia director after michael 9/11 tweeted that republicans are more dangerous and contemptible than any violent extremist organization on earth. democratic strategists and james koeppel echoed the same sentiment. if you rewound the tape from let's say 1992 or 1991 he would be saying the same thing, like a broken record over and over again. you will see. >> huge majority is reported with the evolution. huge majorities of the republican party followed donald trump and whatever that sound is here. the problem the republican party has is they have stupid people in their primaries. and when you have that you are going to get in really stupid people the demand have really stupid leaders and that is where the republican party is now. >> sean: went on to call the republican party racist

she is the author of how to think like a lawyer, and the former chief of counter espionage, peter strzokter intelligence and the threat of donald j trump. good evening. happy to have you all on. thank you for joining. evan, we are getting these new details tonight about investigators looking for more material at mar-a-lago. what do you know? >> don, this is reported from the new york times, and if you remember, the prosecutors there and investigators had asked for and received surveillance footage from mar-a-lago it appears that they want some more. according to the times, there was a period for going back to 60 days that investigators had reviewed, and they saw some things on there that raise concerns. of course, this is something that would explain, perhaps, why after the june meeting, where they came away with classified documents, they somehow decided that there was more information there, and that they were concerned about. that led to this extraordinary move by the fbi, by the justice department to conduct a search of the former president's home in mar-a-lago. >> peter strzok, the

i want to start just with you, peter strzok, and just give me a sense of given what happened today, irecedented and unusual activities, and things that we have not really ever seen before, pushing the country into uncharted territory. watching merrick garland up there doing the thing i don't think he really wanted to do, but feeling the need to, what did you -- how did you assess the importance of what he said and why he said it and where we go from here? >> well, i think it was extraordinarily important. i mean, it's clear that attorney general garland is a man who hews to the institution and the traditions of the department of justice, and i did not expect that he would ever get up and give a speech or pronouncement where he went through all the facts surrounding the search of mar-a-lago earlier this week, but i thought what he did very well was sort of, in a broad sense, and he didn't speak for long, but he said a lot during that speech, essentially that the department of justice was going to adhere to its norms, that they would let court documents speak for the case, but that they

quote, tonight sadly we have seen this before, former top agent, by the way, peter strzok was also once escorted out of the fbi bureau. you might remember for political bias. remember prior to the 2016 presidential election? he texted his colleague, his lover lisa page, said he had a plan to stop trump from ever becoming president. we'll stop him. he also texted about an insurance policy if her policy, that they discussed in andy's office, didn't work. in other words, the russia hoax to smear, slander besmirch donald trump in the unlikely event that he does become president, first, of course, to prevent him from ever becoming president. after he was fired from the bureau, strzok was rewarded with a lucrative book deal and numerous appearances on fake news cnn, msdnc where far left political bias is revered and admired and the anti trump witch hunts at the fbi never stop. director wray failed this country, and this brings us to the mar-a-lago raid. despite heavy redactions from the doj in the affidavit, we can now see that the fbi relied on speculative news articles to justify their raid

we have peter strzok, a former fbi deputy assistant director. he's also the author of "compromised: counterintelligence and the threat of donald j. trump." great to see both of you. jennifer, about this doj -- about the, yeah, the affidavit that everybody wants to see, except doj can you not it released, when do you think that the public could ever get their eyes on portions of this? >> well, alisyn, i think it's going to be a little while, because, of course, it will take some time if the judge does insist on releasing it with redactions, it will take some time for the judge and doj to go back and forth and reach some agreement on what the judge thinks is reasonable. but then, you also have to remember, this is with a magistrate judge, not an article iii district court judge, so typically, how it works, the magistrate will make a report and recommendation to a district court judge who is the one who has the power to issue an order for the release of a document like this. so, there may be some time built in for that process, and then that doesn'

the same people peter strzok, andy macomb, what concerns me the most, it's not the regular federal agent. i talked to so many of the fbi. this was a group at the top. all of the intelligence community that tied the narrative together which led, after president trump was elected to cripple his first months. we remember that in 2017. what bothers me the most. they knew this and members of congress began to notice and knew it was falsify did never verified. even bruce said there's problems of the dossier but nobody would admit it because they were after one thing they couldn't stand the fact that hillary clinton got beat. >> i have to tell you. i don't watch a lot of tv. what i read and what i saw right before the election and after the election startled me, i'm not a young person. i'm seeing a lot of political campaigns and a lot of reaction typical under political campaigns. certainly after the florida recount and bush 2000 campaign, bush gore we saw a lot of animosity of hanging chads in the supreme court decision. nothing like the vitriol towards president trump. at this point time you

we know -- remember peter strzok and lisa page working in tandem to try to take down donald trump despiteasing their entire situation off of was false. but now that same agency apparently for the political party that they support has covered up, and the fact that you have christopher wray, the fbi director, there on capitol hill either just finding out about a lot of this, which is very concerning considering he is the director, that is kind of surprised by some of the stuff, or that he's the director in these individuals are still there this is still going on. and there's been no accountability at the fbi, is awful. this is not the way we operate in the united states of america. we cannot function if this is how our premier law enforcement agency is handling itself. people need to be fired from the agency. people should be in jail. there should be an investigation of course not only into the biden family, but apparently into the fbi as well. speak with her job is to protect us in the homeland. it's not to go after parents. they need to remember that. of the meat and photographing the ron

just file him with peter strzok. follow him with clinesmith. follow whim jim baker. with lisa paige and all those others that if you are president trump, how can you back the fbi? how can you not question the sanctity of the raid? that's why you don't blindly black the blue. that why is law enforcement right or wrong. credibility if everything you think they do is correct. when you praise them, it means nothing. and which is 99% of the time. but you are going to tell me that this guy had just one bad year and one candidate just drove him over the top, donald trump? i'm sure that his record is checkered with a lot of dicey stuff. >> ainsley: that's what scares everyone can we not trust everyone at the fbi. >> brian: are we next? >> ainsley: look at peter strzok someone who gets fired and on a job all these different networks and lucrative book deal. >> brian: peter strzok you should be ashamed at cnn for hiring this guy. did you check his texts? he was biased working against a presidential candidate. reward he gets his pension and gets a network contract and yet you g

investigation, the robert mueller report, the carter page prosecution, the lisa page efrjs mails and peter strzok emails, the whistleblower that some agents covered up the hunter biden laptop. and i could go on. given that history, i think many fair-minded americans are going to say wait a minute. this looks political. this looks personal. this doesn't look like an aberration. this is beginning to look like a pattern. and for the sake of the integrity of the f.b.i. and the department of justice, i think chris wray and merrick garland need to hold a press conference together. they need to answer all questions, as long as it takes. they need to release a copy of the search warrant, and they need to release the evidence and affidavits in support of that search warrant so they can assure the american people, if it's accurate, that this isn't personal and this isn't political. but it doesn't look good, harris. >> harris: so that's an interesting point. answer those questions, come clean for as long as it takes from the d.o.j. it isn't just the rattling of trust the american people are experiencing now

you think of people like peter strzok and his words they had an insurance policy so donald trump whencted. am i wrong? are others wrong, our genuine distrust of the fbi and the doj? look at the treatment of peter navarro recently. the treatment of paul manafort, roger stone who we are going to work two. am i wrong if you are a conservator you'll be treated one way, if you're hillary clinton, biden, you could treat in another way? >> that's precisely why the raid seems rather reckless. the attorney general has to weigh that context. this country is a tinderbox. he has an agency in the fbi that has a documented history of false statements, a documented history of misleading courts. you have to consider that before you approve a raid of this kind. one of the things that struck me with their initial comments on the sources is how they describe this. they told you that there were two things described in the warrant, one a general category of material that should have been turned over to the archives under the presidential records act and the second was a general reference to possibly class

she texted her colleague and lover, peter strzok saying trump's not ever going to become president, right? strzok responded. no, he's not. we'll stop it. a week later, strzok texted i believe the past that you threw out in andy's office that there's no way he gets elected. i'm afraid we can't take that risk. it's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before your 40. they had an insurance policy. they wanted to stop donald trump from becoming president. there were two main attempts to destroy donald trump. the first was a debunked russia alpha bank trump tower story. that went nowhere. a second one was more sinister. that was hillary clinton and her dirty russian misinformation dossier that she paid for. even john brennan warning obama that the dossier was political op research and not to be trusted. despite claims from the dossier author, christopher steele that the material was unverifiable. regardless of that, the fbi used the dos yeah to obtain fisa warrant four times to go after one innocent american, carter page, and also as a back door into the trump campaign. later

let's discuss all this now, former watergate prosecutor nick akerman is here and peter strzok, the former fbi chief of counter espionage. gentlemen, thank you. i appreciate you being here. nick, you first. prosecutors in georgia telling rudy giuliani he's been targeting the 2020 presidential election investigation. is he likely to face a criminal prosecution? >> if you take the definition of target, because it normally used in prosecution and criminal defense. it means that the georgia da has enough evidence to charge rudy giuliani with a crime. that is pretty serious. it is not the same as being a subject that is being looked at. it is not the same as being a witness. it means they have enough evidence to charge rudy giuliani with a crime. >> peter, i want to talk to you about this mar-a-lago search. and listen, you know what has been happening, especially you've been part of what has been going on. and the last 56 years or so. the justice department is opposing the release of this affidavit. which lays out probable cause and they write this in their following, i quote here, the affidavi

when devin and i tried to expose the likes of peter strzok, they laughed us out of the building.rative leave because he broke his oath of office, and and you're going to find that's exactly what's happening here. that counterintelligence investigation means it's being run out of national fbi headquarters by these same select few corrupt politicians who are acting as fbi agents. maria: so, devin nuÑes, you came out with the memo in 2018 and exposed all of them. is it the same documents that they want to have under lock and key that they wanted to get from trump's home? >> well, look, i don't think we mow that, and i'm not sure they even got a whole lot of documents anyway. they haven't even accounted for hem. maria -- them. i don't morally disagree with kash, but i thinkable goes back pre-russiagate hoax. i think this goes back to the irs scandal where hay targeted conservatives. i think it goes back to fast and furious during the obama administration where they ran guns and tried to set people up, remember? innocent americans ended up getting killed. it goes back to benghazi, the

conspiracy theories, their three-year long plus hoax, including fbi insurance insurance policy of peter strzok. they have now learned the loss of trust for you, we, we the american people. the deep state sadly is alive and well in this country and we are now witnessing a dark new chapter into the persecution of donald trump and sadly, the weaponization of our department of justice. now you may ask, why would anyone as a republican and conservative trust of the biden fbi in the biden doj? first, the same fbi, department of justice, same institutional people, they try to make a connection between trump tower and alfa bank, a major russia institutional, financial institution, and that the servers were inside of trump tower. it was a bogus story, it's been totally debunked. then they moved onto the fake claims of a dirty russian dossier. that was the collection of russian disinformation, bought and paid for by hillary clinton. donald trump's opponent in 2016 and the dnc. none of the claims and that dossier were verified or even verifiable. and they've been debunked. but that didn't stop the fbi, t

look at the peter strzok/lisa page texts from 2016, 2017.er should have happened. in march 2018 the fbi, knowing full well that the dossier was taintedded, briefed senate intel and said the steele dossier had integrity. so time and time again we see the partisanship, partisan actions, political actions being undertaken by the fbi. now because we have whistleblowers coming forward, and i encourage to come forward, one to -- a number to senator chuck grassley said there was a scheme in august of 200 to downplay the derogatory information around hunter biden to basically squash that information -- 2020. that same month, august 6th, both senator grassley and i in our investigation received an unsolicited briefing by the fbi basically saying we are targeting disinformation. all of our investigation was based on u.s. persons and u.s. documents. now, the briefing was completely unnecessary. i knew it was a setup. so this day we do not know, even though we've asked are repeatedly who directed that briefing, the fbi, merrick garland's not come clean

network and say that the fbi is just told what to do by the doj, i think all we have to say is peter strzok lisa page ad you will see they willingly participate in all of this. >> ashley: okay, jonathan gilliam think is much for your time and your take on these topics. we appreciate it. >> you got it, think you. >> ashley: a report from the response of federal budget president biden's plan to forgive student that will actually cost taxpayers $500 billion. >> todd: well met come up the white house with its own rough estimate a price tag. kevin corke, he is the latest spin from washington, kevin. >> the spin cycle. that is what we get information's capital. president biden's decision, guys to spend half a trillion dollars to cover the student loan cost is being tallied frankly by the white house, which is long praise but woefully short on details about who and how they will all pay for it. >> so assuming that 75% of folks who take us on the president student loan cancellation plan. and you look at the average monetary, average cash flow on that, it is going to be about $24 billion per year. >

we know there was an insurance policy if you reach peter strzok's text all the things president trump saying. i will say i think you can't look at this in isolation. you have to look at this in light of other trump-related prosecutions. what i mean by that is in this case it's the presidential records act jonathan pointed out, it's very rarely used in the criminal context. it's being used here. you look at paul manafort, who was the campaign manager for donald trump. it's brought out against paul manafort, despite there being rampant by elation 62% used against michael flynn. this is a 1799 statue that is never in history of this country been used to successfully prosecute anyone. but it's used as a pretext to go in and look at michael flynn. why are never before used statutes, or rarely used statutes being used in this manner? it raises questions as the fbi doesn't go out after larry nassar the way they should've initially. especially as one-third of portland writer cases are dropped. you know especially when you look at the abortion facilities that you seem like you to drink the doj

and doj people from the steele dossier through the carter page fisa warrant and bruce ohr and peter strzoks comey. the burden is on the government to prove this is not a continuation of what has been a seven year long crusade to get trump. now with the former vice president pence saying that he is no not 99% of the bureau front lines should be appreciative of them. but this senior of this agency has been targeting trump for years. they have got the documents they went in for. i see no treason release except if they have confidential informants in it. >> bret: harold? >> harold: first, thanks for having me. one of the things i continue to reflect on is that president trump and his team never filed a motion to say that the search or the raid as the president calls it was illegal. two, they have not filed a motion to have any of the retrieved materials or the seized materials returned to the president as he has often said these were not things that they should have seized. hugh and i went to the same law school. pretty good law school in the midwest. i would have con it if i were advising him

some of these people could follow peter strzok and do a private employment if that's the case.ecause it means that they misrepresented their purpose. they used a pretext before the court. that's exactly the type of dishonesty that the fbi was found to have engaged in during the russian collusion investigation. it's not clear that's the case. >> bret: yeah, right. madam attorney general, thanks for coming on. your thoughts? you are down there in florida. this is a big event, obviously. and your thoughts on the legality? what we don't know. there is a lot we don't know. >> well, you can see, you know, just the passion and the -- i will use the word uprising in south florida. i mean, many of the people in south florida fled totalitarian regimes from cuba or venezuela. and when you see that government that comes in and has targeted, are we know, previously parents who were labeled them as domestic terrorists. when you have a government that's just announced increasing their agents for the irs by, what, 87,000 agents to target american citizens, and now you have an unprecedented rai

it was peter strzok who said i can smell the trump supporter's -- and he mentioned gavin newsom, he said you couldn't take your family out but meanwhile he's going to a five-star restaurant and not wearing a mask. i think anderson cooper said a trump supporter seat at the olive garden and stay at the marriott to. the double standard, the rules don't apply to us, they are somehow better than us -- it's that arrogance that i think it's going to be their undoing on november 8th because american people have had a typical they have also had with politicians who say one thing and do another. joe biden says we're not going to raise your taxes but now this bill raise your taxes. we have a 41 year high in inflation they told us we weren't going to come for your guns but they are doing just that. americans are sick and tired of that as well. i think all of that is going to be y on november 8th it's going to be a good night for the republican party and more importantly a good night for the country. >> sean: i never thought all of this could happen in 18 months. the borders would be a disaster, we w

i want to start here with what peter strzok told us, former deputy assistant of the fbi that a subpoena was likely never on the table to try to retrieve these documents. he says it's never been used to collect classified information. either the agency goes to a subject and says you have these documents, we want them and they're handed over or you get the search warrant to retrieve them. how does this align with your experience? >> i think that that is true. and one thing that i think it's important for viewers to understand is for the attorney general, rarely does the attorney general sign off on a search. in fact, during my time, three years as attorney general, i only signed off on one search, and involved a historic search of a congressman's office on capitol hill, which had never been done before. it's unprecedented, much like this situation, where you had an unprecedented search of the home of the former presidential. so it's for that reason i really do believe that on the recommendation of the fbi director, chris wray, who is a trump appointee, merrick garland made the decision to

peter strzok. the author of, compromised, counterintelligence and the threat of donald j trump.re getting these new details tonight by investigators looking for more material at mar-a-lago. but do you know? >> hold on, this is reporting from the new york times. but if you remember the prosecutors here that basket had asked for and received. surveillance page from mar-a-lago it appears that they want some more and according to the times there was a period for about 60 days that investigators had a review and they saw some things on their. that race i'm concerned. and of course, this is something that explains perhaps why after that june meeting where they came away with classified documents they somehow decide that there was more information there and they were concerned about. and that led to this astounding move by the fbi justice department. to conduct a search of the former president's home in mar-a-lago. >> the new york times is reporting some surveillance footage from mar-a-lago shows people moving boxes and wait to change containers. some documents were held there. what is

by peter strzok, people weaponizing this agency. where are calls for the 19% spike in shootings of law enforcement, 300% spike in police ambushes over the last year's? i'm not sure why, when it comes to donald trump, everything that should be clear and objective somehow goes out the window, and there is a toxic celebration of what happens with him, and a very toxic pointing-out of threats of violence that don't seem to be present every other time as that horrible situation unfolds. >> harris: i would only guess that hate is greater than love. we know that it isn't, but some don't believe that. kennedy? >> kennedy: it's louder than loves. it's not as vulnerable and it's most people using it in their politics now. i look at someone like stephen colbert, he is so unfunny. when he was doing a nightly impression of a conservative news host, he was actually kind of funny. but now it's like, you know, that's it? that's where your landing? he did not stick the landing there. the thing that i found entertaining about this was the former pres

we also have deputy assistant attorney general elliott williams and peter strzok. ike you too, anyone who's not a reporter. fyi, don't feel badly about it. look, first of all, peter, think about this. you have obviously overseen a number of investigations. you know how this looks. you know how there's been a lot of backlash. but then is this kind of indication that they were able to find things, the affidavit says, hey, here is what we're looking for. they didn't have a redacted memo for the entire thing. is this some form of vindication for those who have doubted why this took place? >> i don't know that i'd call it so much vindication as just confirmation that doj and the fbi are doing things exactly right. they're doing things in accordance with the law and by the book. when you see what's here in front of us unredacted, that's a really disturbing tale. but keep in mind half of this, 18 pages easily are completely blacked out. so the things that investigators are looking at, the real critical items that show people trying to obstruct, that show why they think the
