he named a special counsel because rosenstein had become angry with the president, he was emotional and in an act of retaliation he appointed robert mueller so think about this, a 22 month long national nightmare because one guy got angry and he knew what he had done was wrong the day of the appointment, after it was announced he is confronted in his office about what he had done. 's abuse of power, violation of the regulations and he hours behind his desk and bloggers am i going to get fired. it tells you he knew what he had done was wrong. >> if he had gotten fired earlier we might have avoided so much of this drama. go back to this whole idea of donald trump pre-being elected to presidency his relationship with russia. i have flashbacks to all the interviews in the run-up to the republican nomination in the general election of 2016, there was always this intrigue that donald trump was made by russia or bailed out by russia. there were scant facts or even details but where did this come from? >> it began with hillary clinton in early 2016 she began to pepper her speeches with referenc

first your reaction to the rosenstein revelations. guess it would be the second set of revelations. >> the left is all excited about it because it shows a senior doj official released the text messages. you raised important issues about how and when did rosenstein snow about strzok and page's political bias against president trump. why wasn't that a reason to look at the fisa warrants and stop the mueller investigation until they could at least figure out whether it was illegally motivated because of strzok and phage. page and strzok are being protected by the fbi. they wouldn't be suing if they thought there would be reasonable expectation he would be prosecuted. they are still withhold something of these text messages from the american people. unbelievable. lou: this president has chosen this attorney general who has chosen john durham as his special prosecutor on this. it's difficult to imagine a more frustrating process than what the president has gone through. first almost a year of fbi investigation over the collusion allegation

you mentioned rod rosenstein, the story going viral, that rosanna said he authorized the -- rosensteinpage-strzok techs. the audience knows there would be insurance policy she would be the next president. tone you take with her. she wrote might be next president. wrote lisa page. now the pressure really starts to finish the investigation into hillary clinton. >> they were out to get the president. you had, on donald trump, jr., i thought it was great interview. he said impeachment started on election day. i think it started earlier, started on a july 31st, 2016 when they opened the trump russia investigation. spied on four american citizens involved with the trump campaign. who was heading investigation, peter strzok. peter strzok, said in one of the text messages, i went to the southern virginia walmart, i want smell the trump support. the disdain they have for the president and more importantly the disdain they have for folks like you and my, voted for president. that is so wrong. they get caught with the text messages and now they will sue. that is ridiculous. it was great the text

i'm rod rosenstein, here are the messages? >> yeah.k you make a great point because the circumstances unwhich the inspector general got these texts after the justice department and fbi said that these devices had been destroyed and they weren't able to access anything, in that context, if these damaging text messages came out, it would have looked even worse that the justice department was not only withholding the information back, but tried to destroy really embarrassing information. again it is perfectly understandable and reasonable why then deputy attorney general rosenstein would do that. i just don't understand why they didn't fess up right from the start that, it was rosenstein making decision. the justice department supplying the information. jason: it is an interesting case. real quickly i want to get your take. you got a foxnews.com op-ed up. it is called on trump impeachment. consider these fantasy thoughts experiences. tell us the thesis what you're sheaing on foxnews.com. >> jason, i've been epgoing as we all have over a y

and according to a former deputy, rod rosenstein senior law enforcement official remember he said this? he must swear that the application is true and correct based on evidence and credible witnesses, none of what rodn rosenstein says happened. he signed the third renewal warrant, you have a lot of explaining to do yourself, take a look. >> there's a lot of talk about fisa applications, many people that i see talking about it seem not to recognize what a application is, it's actually a warrant, just like a search warrant in order to get a search warrant you need an affidavit signed by a career federal law enforcement officer who swears that the information in the affidavit is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. that's the way we operate, if it's wrong -- sometimes it is -- if you find out anything is incorrect, that person is going to face consequences. >> face consequences, rod, you signed the third renewal. and jim, you signed three of them. super patriot. in october 2016, yep, jim comey signed off on the initial warrant against carter page which denied him hisn

>> well, we're going to call every person who signed a fisa warrant application, starting with rosensteines and work our way down. i want to understand how people signed off on a warrant that was fatally flawed. did they look at the evidence at all? what kind of system do we have in place to get a warrant against american citizen? durham is looking at criminality. we'll take this up in judiciary after impeachment. one last thought about soleimani, i can assure the american people he died not because of the color of his skin or his ethnicry begins, he died because of content of his character. he was an evil man. he was terrorist leader. he had american blood on his hands. i'm glad he is finally dead and i'm glad we have a president that understands iran is the cancer of the middle east. they must change the status quo is unacceptable. >> senator, good to have you this morning thank you so much. >> thank you. >> senator lindsey graham joins us. as the senate prepares for the impeachment trial who will make up president's defense team? prominent republican in the house hearings is john ratcl

forth between the special counsel team and the department of justice leaders, bill barr and rod rosenstein chief among them about how to conclude this investigation, how to inform the public of the conclusions, how to make clear that president trump is not going to be indicted but is also not totally exonerated as the president claimed. and what carol and i did in this book is we get behind the scenes and into that room, and there's dialogue, rich dialogue between barr and mueller where mueller is accusing barf misleading the public with that four-page summary of conclusion that he issued, and is furious at barr for this, thinks he's, you know, trying to pull a fast one on the american people on behalf of his boss, the president of the united states, but doesn't go public with that information, doesn't say anything publicly. and it's one episode in which barr completely outfoxed mueller, and a lot of prosecutors believe that was a fatal error on the part of bob mueller, the former fbi director of unimpeachable integrity, who just couldn't keep up in the 21st century of the twitter universe

has placed under the authority of the department of justice and it's deputy attorney general rod rosenstein. his new orders give him far reaching powers. moller can investigate moscow's relations with the trump campaign and any other matters. most are waste no time immediately orders the preservation of millions of official documents forbidding the destruction of records that could be useful in the russia probe e-mails phone records audio recordings metadata and storage devices recordings eventually or exit of the building's video surveillance. once a person or a company or or a bureaucracy knows that there's a criminal investigation to destroy evidence after that becomes a federal crime and so i think mahler's 1st move was a smart one but the order also shows that there is a concern that these documents might be destroyed by a white house that is trying to hide the truth from investigators. this was only the beginning of a bitter struggle between mahler and the president of the united states. so we have mr miller who's known as a tough cop he's a big impose in 6 foot something experienced

attorney general bar to have appointed a special prosecutor the way for my acting attorney general rod rosensteinf course the white house made the determination not to turn over it whistle— blower complaints to congress in contravention of a statute and so that was not a situation where bill barr was going to appoint a special prosecutor and we have heard that democrats could have done more to go to the courts that have been someone that's publicly agree with that being said you can make the argument that the president position to respect congress. thank you very much for joining us. plenty more to come. hello there. the weather should even out a bit more over the coming few days. with more cloud more widely. today was certain he saw contrast after it frosty start and sunny skies, the sun going down in those clearest guys in temperatures dropping away. other areas have been stuck under a layer of cloud all day and temperatures have not risen very much at all. it's a pretty mild. the cloud that we've got more across northern and western areas is sinking its way south to the temperatures will dip f

disturbed at what i'm seeing, and in particular when he fired comey and then a few days later rod rosenstein appointed bob mueller to be special counsel, i realized, you know, i'm going to go and join this mess of an administration and be in a department that he's going to be attacking for the next two years? at that point i concluded it just made no sense. >> he hasn't really been attacking you lately under attorney general barr. >> there were just so many disturbing aspects about that whole -- the continual attack on the russia investigation and the attacks on sessions, i think, are what drove me to really start speaking out. in particular, the thing that i remember most was when he attacked attorney general sessions for permitting the indictment of those two corrupt republican congressmen. >> collins and -- >> hunter, right. very explicitly on -- because he said it was wrong for sessions to do that in substance because that could affect the balance of power in the house. in other words, putting his own personal political interests above faithfully executing the laws. he has a duty as the

. >> and rod rosenstein also, you remember that name, the 25th amendment, maybe i should wire up thehief judge and fisa court to say, wait a minute, the two warrants that were signed by my fisa court judge was not predicate bid any probable cause, they should have never before issued, we are of the belief that the original two would be invalidated but they apparently haven't gotten to that. here is the bottom line, when christopher steele, who hates donald trump, is hired by the fbi, when british authorities told the fbi christopher steele can't be relied on, when the source who gave christopher steele the information says to the fbi, you know what, i just made that stuff up, you know, barroom talk, they go forward with this document, the dossier paid for by hillary clinton, laundered money through fusion gps foreign agent and decide they are going to surveil american citizen to use him as a telescope into the trump campaign, it was illegal, it was wrong and what's infuriating is it took us this long to figure this thing out. >> this weekend, are you going to be covering this with se
