strzok has to be indicted, mccabe has to be indicted.u a lot of people right now who are right on the brink. >> sean: on the brink of -- finish that thought. >> wegh are on the brink of indictments coming down. i'm glad congress look into this.an i'm very happy. themselves happy and make no mistake, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't know half of this. i want to prosecutor looking into this. i want a grand jury impaneled. i want toct subpoenas. i know the inspector general is coming up with his report and as i understand it --ea >> >> sean: he would likely be the targets? >> what would be the question? >> who would be the targets of this investigation? >> fbi. strzok, mccabe, i don't know why ohr, lisa page, there's an interesting character, he's a guy in this hierarchy that no one is talking about. i want to know is why is no one talking about him? is he so clean our ac cooperating? what is going on? >> sean: what about comey and rosenstein? >> it's too soon. comey needs to be the target of a criminal investigation. t i've said that a

strzok was talking about joining the investigation with mueller and strzok asked page this question:investigation leading to impeachment? why are they talking about impeachment? keep in mind, during that same text h exchange on may 19th, two days after robert mueller was named special counsel strzok says well you and i both know the odds are nothing. if i thought it was likely, i would be there no question. i hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern that there's no big there there. huh. so strzok knew from the start that mueller would be carrying out a witch-hunt pretty much. there is also new revelations about former attorney general loretta lynch and her involvement in the clinton email coverup. in june 2016, bill clinton infamously meets with loretta lynch on the tarmac in phoenix for 40 minutes which caused loretta lynch to say on july 1st she is stepping away from the investigation and she would just accept the fbi's conclusion. now, keep in mind, all of this is before hillary clinton was ever interviewed by the fbi. so, after lynch's statement that she was taking a

strzok writes, hope so, just left bill priestap.n mid-november page writes, i read "all the president's men" thinking i need to bush up on watergate. senate investigators question whether there is a connection to this august text where they discuss an insurance policy. the white house press secretary says the reservations remain. >> it further shows there are reasons for us to have great concerns in this process. catherine: clinton aide huma abedin was shown a text exchange. and continue said it had be classified, then asked for her own copy. david: peter strzok's role in clearing clinton and attempts to damage trump cannot be underestimated. he was the fbi chief of counter espionage. he led the bureau's criminal investigation into the hillary clinton email scandal taking part in her july 2016 interview. and it was strzok who changed fbi director comey's conclusion from grossly negligent to extremely careless. whether the trump campaign played any role, strzok then joined special counsel robert mueller's team as a key investigator.

now strzok is a former top fbi counter intelligence official. the one that signed out documents that kingdom off think phony russia probe. he also oversought interviews of lieutenant general michael flynn. he is the guy who interviewed hillary clinton and her top aides. we have already told you how strzok play audit key role in changing the clinton exoneration statement. exchanging gross negligence and extreme carelessness. >> then there is strzok and padges extreme hatred of donald trump. they called him a i had out, menace, loathe some human being. they said if trump and clinton up-to-the-minuted to win 100 million to zero, and strzok and page also talked with who we think is andrew mccabe about that insurance policy? god forbid donald trump wins the election u yesterday we got a new batch of text messages that show their inherent anti-trump bias. in the lead up, of course, to the election. lisa page was fearful, oh my gosh, donald trump is going to win. on election day strzok writes back oh my god. this is blanking terrifying. and the followi

this does vindicate strzok. fbi have political opinions.e lots of people in the bureau trump fans. strzok unfortunately had his text revealed that he wasn't a trump fan. he was doing his job separating feelings of trump from the fact of the matter that came before him. so he supports opening the investigation. he writes the letter justifying t i want to clarify something though. because i think that what he opposed was the initial decision to go public. comey decision to go public on the 27th or the 28th of october. i think that's the decision that he opposed. maybe somebody can correct me if i'm wrong. but i think he was saying we have to proceed with this investigation but because we don't yet. >> and sends alert to congress. >> but not go public with it. but i mean once you send alert you've gone public. >> that's true. but, steve, does this change the narrative here? let me just play the narrative. because we all know it. but let's play it. here's what republicans have said about what peter strzok personal text messages meant about his

august 14th a text message from strzok and page where peter strzok says we need an insurance policy,wo month after that september 2nd they say needs to know everything we are doing so take it in context, it raises lots of concerns, lots of suspicion, that is why we need to look into it and find out what is going on. >> reporter: on top of all that in her april 2016 fbi interview clinton aid huma abedin, an email exchange between obama and hillary clinton, president obama used an alias, the email had to be classified and asked for a copy of her own. a life look at capitol hill where lawmakers have just hours left to avoid another government shutdown congress voting on a budget deal that will keep the doors open for another two years of. that will continue it for quite a while but not everybody is in favor of getting this past, nancy pelosi slammed the bill for a record eight hours on the floor, marathon speech, the longest ever, griff jenkins has the latest on that, she must be tired today. >> reporter: senate leaders reach an agreement to stave off the midnight shutdown deadline. in

strzok and ms.age said that exchange referred to the president wanting information on russia election meddling, which the fbi was heavily involved with in over that period." we will talk more about that and the rest of those texts coming up. meanwhile, former vice president joe biden's cross-country tour on his book included this week a stopper here in washington and the keynote address of the democratic retreat on capitol hill. chief national correspondent ed henry joins us on how 2020 presidential speculation. >> great to see you. interesting that as we learn more shocking details about what the obama-biden administration was doing out the door in terms of surveillance of people tied to the incoming administration, the former vice president today charged that it's president trump, who in his words is doing great damage to the country. biden rallying house democrats promising he would spend as much as he could the summer and fall helping them try and take back the house and maybe even the senate fr

agent peter strzok and then f.b.i. attorney lisa page. new text messages reveal on september 2, 2016 page texts strzok about preparing talking points for f.b.i. director james comey saying potus wants to know everything we're doing. raising questions about then president obama's involvement or at least interest in the hillary clinton email investigation. then after the discovery of emails on anthony wiener's computer september 28, 2016 strzok rights got called up to andrew mccabe's office earlier, the deputy director of the f.b.i. who recently resigned. hundreds of thousands of emails turned over by wiener's attorney includes a ton of material from spouse sending team up tomorrow to review. this will never end. as we now know it took a month from the time those emails were discovered until james comey went to congress in late october to say he was reopening the investigation into hillary clinton's emails. on election day strzok and page's disdain for president trump is really laid bare. page writes oh my god, this is terrifying. a week la

strzok agrees.s out that was sent on the very same day that comey sent his letter to congress closing out the clinton investigation. >> this report from the justice department's inspector general, how much of that focuses on strzok? do we know? >> well, republicans have focused a lot over the past couple weeks on what strzok said in those text messages since he was briefly on mueller's team. but the inspector general's report is supposed to take a wide-ranging look at how the fbi handled the investigation writ large, from top to bottom, including whether attorney general loretta lynch's tarmac meeting with bill clinton was appropriate, whether it was appropriate for comey to make any number of the public statements he did about the investigation without following the typical protocols. so in other words this report is going to be explosive and a potential land mine for the justice department and fbi far beyond any text messages, anderson. >> laura jarrett, thanks very much. >>> more news ahead. we'l

are you talking about peter strzok?er than james comey went after hillary clinton's e-mails and she thinks that's what lost her the election. >> loretta lynch meeting with bill clinton in that magical tarmac meeting. don't take my word for it. look what the democrats' criticism of director comey -- >> that's not what devin nunes is concerned about. he's not concerned that hillary clinton lost the election because of something james comey did. >> what i'm eve saying is i want all the information out there. whether it's the memo from chairman nunes, whether it be supporting information. have the democrats put their memo out, also, put all the information out and let people make their own decision. i'm very much for transparency and openness. i want it all out there so the american public can see. if there are were fisa abuses, let's see it. >> what can i tell you, alisyn, i am so old i remember when republicans used to be against adulterer presidents, against russian ol' garks and dictators and for the fbi and law enforce

some of been released between peter strzok and lisa page.em comes on september 2, 2016, says making, talking points for director comey. there was speculation it was about the hillary clinton email investigation but there is talk about the russia potential pollution investigation. it's raising more questions and criticism. >> "the wall street journal" reported this afternoon they think from their reporting they have concluded that senator johnson is incorrect and that this was a president asking for intelligence on russian meddling because he was going to face putin in person in the coming days. i think peter strzok and lisa page have had their -- everyone is made up their minds about what they are doing. we don't know the answer to the question, with the insurance policy is that they discussed in andy's office, the office of andrew mccabe. he has since left, deputy fbi director. there are a lot of questions but i've a guy will go with "the wall street journal" reported on this until further notice. >> that's interesting about "the wall stree

peter strzok. four and a half weeks later, september 2nd is when we have this text message where lisa page texts back to peter strzok and says the president of the united states wants to know everything we're doing. what does that refer to? we don't know for sure. understand the significance of the time line. they had just opened the trump-russia investigation. and after all, this is the same couple who said we need an insurance policy to make sure that the american people don't elect donald trump president. that's why we need to look into this even more. >> harris: wow. we needed that time line last hour on outnumbered. we were going around in circles about what and we had a former state department employee on the couch with us. now it makes sense to me. so, in terms -- >> -- just for emphasis, harris, july 5th. >> harris: i wrote it down. >> july 5th she is cleared. later that month, peter strzok the same agent involved in clearing her opens the trump russia investigation. august of that month is

strzok replying omg i am so depressed. later that month page wrote, i bought all the president's men figure i need to brush up on watergate. these are just the tip of the iceberg of messages sent by agents who were investigating both hillary clinton and president trump. >> bill: meanwhile congressman trey gowdy saying he believes democrats might be laying a trap for the president as he decides whether to make their memo public. >> the democrats are politically smart enough to put things in the memo that require either the bureau or the department of justice to say it needs to be redacted and therefore it creates this belief there is something being hidden from the american people. keep in mind, this is the same crowd that voted not to release our memo and voted not to gain a lot of this information in the last 12 months. >> bill: we have team fox coverage following this this morning. guy benson standing by with analysis. we begin live in washington for more on what the text messages might reveal. griff, good morning. >> th

peter strzok and lisa page.sley: those new messages raising even more questions about what the fbi knew about the clinton investigation and when they knew it. brian: guess what there is a reference to in this exchange? president barack obama. griff jenkins live in washington breaking it down. griff, get us started. >> good morning, guys. it's shocking. it raises serious questions and reflects a deep disdain for not only the president but republican voters. let's get right to it. in one exchange strzok ridiculed virginia voters voted against andy mccabe wife's jill senate seat she lost. disappointing but look at the district map. lowden is being gentry find: these texts are being released by senator ron johnson along with a report entitled the clinton email scandal and the fbi's investigation of it the messages shed some light on the timing of the discovery of hundreds of thousands of emails found on anthony weiner's la laptop. got called up to andy's earlier. hundreds of thousands of emails turned over to andy's

peter strzok started the investigation with george papadopoulos in july. so you are going to tell me comey did not brief the president on that because that related to russia? this does not vindicate donald trump, but it helps him greatly in the court of public opinion. 55% of the american public think the obama white house spied on political opponents. charles: the text between strzok and page that obama wants to know everything, certainly that's pretty damning as well. >> when it comes to upholding the rule of law, there need to be a wall between the white house and fbi investigation. robbedless of whether this was a text regarding president obama interfering into an investigation with a friend or enemy, it's wrong and i'm appalled by it. charles: this a report from senator johnson, it's layers with these sort of things that make you question not just the intelligence community and fbi, but more and more the role of president obama. >> to the extent these texts foment some distrust in the fbi, that's in the president's interest. unlike ford and madison, i

peter strzok. >> and a lot of other agents. judge jeanine: let's talk about when jim comey talks about that this dishonest, misleading memo wrecked the house intel community and damaged the relationship with the fisa court, to me it's rather interesting, richard, that in truth, i think jim comey has done more to destroy the confidence of the american people and the fbi. he's the one who created this mess and used an unverified salacious dossier that he told the president to reup it a few more times. this is just unheard of. >> i don't like jim comey because i think his final years at the fbi was problematic. but this particular memo we are talking about did a couple things. it let the world know that the fbi was monitoring somebody who has been on their radar since july of 2013 for engage with for agents to take down and destroy our democracy. that should not be out because this investigation is not over. >> yet this guy is still walking around. >> because he's still under investigation. >> it's the mueller investigation, yes,

strzok's name is all over them. no one would suggest that the fbi investigation was anything other than a sham, given comey's decision to not want to prosecute her. it's not a conspiracy theory to review government texts where mr. strzok is talking about having an insurance policy in case president trump won. early on in the year, he and lisa page are concerned about having the fbi go full bear against president -- or hillary clinton because they fear blowback if she becomes president. writing a memo in a ministerial fashion doesn't necessarily clear him. and it's really concerning that there was this attempted slow walking of information, classified information on anthony weiner's laptop. >> shannon: you remain unconvinced. unconvinced. gryour insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insuran

a source familiar with strzok's thinking tells me on the one hand strzok was -- he wanted to pursue this investigation aggressively. he wanted to see whatever leads he could find on that laptop and felt like it was important to see it through. but on the other hand, he had real reservations about how all of this was being done in the public square, so close to the election, and the text messages that have now been turned over to congress between him and fbi lawyer lisa page bear that out. so while on the one hand, the president calls his behavior treasonous, the evidence now shows that he actually took action just days before the election that could have actually hurt hillary clinton's chances of winning. >> laura jarrett, live for us, from the doj, thank you for that. i have so much to discuss here. i want to bring in cnn intelligence and security analyst and former cia operative bob bear with us. and tom fuentes, law enforcement analyst and former assistant director at the fbi. so, bob, this is interesting this new revelation about peter strzok because he really had been portrayed by r

strzok adult male message strzok adult male message page in all caps omg this is f'ing terrifying hed. page replied omg i am so depressed. obviously an articulate group. a few days later page wrote this i bought all the president's men i figured i need to brush up on watergate what our task was w remains unclear. mark steyn is an author and columnist. he has seen these texts and he joins us tonight.t. uneducated hillbillies, huh? >> omg, tucker. lol. i think last time they came up on your show john rewritten by teen beat. i'm glad to say they have managed to keep that up. i don't understand -- just to be serious for a moment nobody ever resigns in washington unless they are caught up in me too. front of camera and say peter strzok one meeting wearing harvey weinstein's bath robe. he is out. absent that nobody resigns. i don't understand why these two are still in government service? t we were accused of being bigots by joy reid and her chums at msnbc a week or two back. these people actually are bigots. they think of virginians as hillbillies and romanians as sleazy. one point they a

at one point, strzok says "i bought all the president's men. figured i need to brush up on watergate." ed henry at the white house to fill in all the blanks for you tonight. good evening, ed. >> breaking tonight, the "wall street journal" saying what they were texting about was then president barack obama late in 2016 wanting to know about russian interference in the election. and not about the clinton email probably u that still up for debate. i can tell you i spoke to several senior democrats today who say that what's worrying them is that it's getting harder and harder for the democratic party to push back and say this is not a major story when you have both hillary clinton and barack obama drawn in to it. the bottom line is this is coming from republican senator ron johnson who now will be digging for more text messages beyond the ones he has gotten from the official fbi work phone of peter strzok and lisa page since one of the new text exchanges shows they also appear to have shared political messages on personal phones. one of them textin

>> peter strzok for one. >> beyond peter strzok. he wasn't the leadership of the fbi. memo include rod rosenstein, the aforementioned rod rosenstein, and dana boente among other people who was just hired as the general counsel by the fbi. are they the leadership of the fbi and justice department who have politicized the sacred investigative process? >> listen, this house intel memo raises serious concerns about the integrity of the decisions made at the highest levels of both the department of justice and the fbi. >> are they at the highest levels? >> when they can use the most intrusive surveillance tools against american citizens, i think the american people should be concerned, and i believe they are. >> should they be concerned that rod rosenstein signed that fisa warrant, that dana boente, the general counsel now at the fbi signed that fisa warrant? >> that's up to the american people. >> is the president concerned they did? >> look, the president has confidence in rod rosenstein. i've said that multiple times on your show. >> so lastly, speaker ryan, house speake

strzok writing back tps, page answering yes, potus wants to know everything we are doing.e is why they are important, they contradict what former president obama previously told chris wallace in 2016. listen. >> i do not talk to the attorney general about pending investigations or fbi directors about pending investigations. i guarantee there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the justice department or the fbi. julie: he texted potus wants to know everything we are doing, another first-time former president obama has been linked to the dossier scandal. jim jordan is putting together the pieces and saying if the republican suspicions are true they could reveal a political plot like nothing this country has ever seen before. >> secret warrants spying on fellow american citizens, that is unbelievable and comey, the general counsel has been demoted and lisa page has been reassigned, peter strzok has been demoted and reassigned, chief of staff leaving the fbi, that is -- when have you ever seen the top people, that many leave this organization? that is w

the gentleman you're talking about, let's see peter strzok, rather pardon me, peter strzok was on both investigations on the trump investigation, so-called collusion which never materialized and also on the e-mail scandal investigation of hillary clinton and let's not forget that loretta lynch told james comey to call it a matter. don't call it a criminal investigation even though it was a criminal investigation. see i've been told by insiders that comey was basically just used and told what to do by andy mccabe and loretta lynch, that they were really pulling the strings so if loretta lynch is basically telling comey call it a matter not an investigation, do this, say it this way, i'm going to go meet with bill clinton on a tarmac in arizona she's obviously getting the word from her boss who barack obama. >> well i think that's probably true but we don't know that yet which is why i think we have to start with comey and put him under oath and say were you briefing the president or did strzok lie and then bring strzok in and have him testify why didn't you think his briefing the presid

lisa page peter strzok one meeting wearing harvey weinstein's bath robe. he is out.ent that nobody resigns. i don't understand why these two are still in government service? we were accused of being bigots by joy reid and her chums at msnbc a week or two back. these people actually are bigots. they think of virginians as hillbillies and romanians as sleazy. one point they are talking about this gu guccifer big internet guy in romania described as sleazy romanian and lisa page text strzok back all romanians are sleazy. combine the crookedness of russians with the entitledness of italians. what's that one, two, three nation states whose entire populations have just been put down the bality of this. go back what your previous guest was saying they are all sworn. they have all taken this oath to yop hold the constitution of the united states. they are not. they are just two love birds who apparently get turned on by hyper partisan politics. they are completely unqualified for the jobs they are holding and way they are still tolding those jobs is a complete disgrace to th

>> peter strzok for one. >> beyond peter strzok.he people who are named in the memo include rod rosenstein. and dana boente. are they the leadership of the fbi and justice department who politicize the process. >> this memo raises concerns. >> are they at the highest level? >> when they can use the most intrusive surveillance tools against american citizens, i think americans should be concerned. >> should they be concerned that boent signed the memo? >> lastly, the memo does not impugn the mueller investigation. does the president agree with that assessment? >> that what? >> that this memo doesn't impugn the mueller investigation. we are not talking about the mueller investigation. the fact of the matter in the height of a presidential campaign, the fbi and the doj signed fisa warrant applications bought and paid for using information bought and paid for by the democrats and did not tell the judge about it. again, should be concerning to most americans. >> it was three weeks before election day when the fisa warrant was signed and

these two knuckleheads page and strzok still working at the fbi.hen are they going to get hauled down in front much congress to testify under oath. >> it's ludicrous to me that you would take these adult earliers and put peter strzok in charge of h.r. that would be like putting me in charge of the capitol nutrition program. the american people are hungry for real action. they are sceptical. we don't want this to be another benghazi when you have another benghazi. jesse: years were wasted on that. we know that was a hoax perpetrated by hillary and obama. and they blamed it on a video. but you have the fbi and the justice department aligned against congress and president trump. who wins? >> my expectation is the people of america will win through the appointment of a second special counsel. but that will require jeff sessions to do his job. the evidence we uncovered show oz wrongdoing at the highest levels of those agencies. jesse: does sessions have the authority since he recused himself from russia matters? >> of course he does. there it's high tim

according to cnn, that agent, peter strzok. was involved in drafting the letter that would later be then sent by then-fbi director james comey to members of congress on october 28, 2016 that letter stated that the agency had received new information about hillary clinton's emails and was reopening an investigation it had closed in july of 2016, after finding no criminal wrongdoing. cnn adds that strzok sent a text message expressing reservations about comey making a public announcement just days before the election. and those messages provided to congress, shows strzok grappling with the fallout of making the letter public. strzok reportedly supported reopening the clinton investigation once the new information was discovered. republicans accuse strzok of being sympathetic to clinton while seeking to undermine donald trump during the 2016 campaign season. this reveals new insight into exactly what strzok felt about anything and whether it matters at this point. >> mika, it's not even a fair fight. you have the republicans const

strzok says "will this never end?" he is dying to wrap up this hillary thing.ou go back five months before when trump was going to be the nominee, remember when cruz dropped out, they were going crazy on the text. oh, my gosh. i now the pressure starts. he was trying to wrap up the hillary investigation. that is your evidence, juan. bring in the jury. i am ready to lecture to the jury. so many incriminating texts. >> dana: it will never end. we are still talking about it. one thing it does go back to over and over again is the decision by hillary clinton and her team that allowed her to do it, including the white house, that allowed her to have a private server, separate set of circumstances, emails that got destroyed, wiped from the server. these guys end up talking about, they are having their fear and talking about investigations on their government phones. blows me away. a lot of it was redacted. teacher read the whole thing? >> kimberly: we didn't get the good stuff. >> dana: at one point he says is it okay for me to send you some pictures. >> kimberly: co

they knocked peter strzok down to the h.r. department.democrats and republicans are going crazy about this thing. some anti-trumpers say because one of the people who was wiretapped was carter phage, it's okay. if you are going to wiretap anybody, don't get upset over upsetting carter page. it's still the fbi using wiretapping for political purposes. byron: the republicans are upset about the principle of the thing. if they will do it to carter page, they will do it to you. but it seem possible the carter page story could illustrate how the fbi messed up this case. they thought carter page was a bigger deal than he actually was in the trump campaign. he was a very small deal and a peripheral figure. david: they thought carter page could lead them to trump. byron: yes. we only know of two mire cans who were wiretapped in this, paul manafort and carter page. but we have never got anyone idea what they got out of their wiretap of carter page. david: i asked congressman duffy but he couldn't tell me the specifics of the memo. were those wire

end of july, peter strzok opens the russian investigation. middle of august, a text says we need an insurance policy. september 2nd, the text message said potus wants to know everything we're doing. >> and he meets with putin two days later. >> all those things happened in eight weeks. >> what about him meeting with putin two days later and has a conversation about stop what you're doing, cut it out? how come you don't factor that in? maybe that's exactly what it was about. it was exactly about tell me what we need to know about interference. i'm about to talk to the guy. >> in the eight week time period, clinton is not going to be charged to when they open the russian investigation, to when we see the text messages, september 2nd, the president wants to know everything we're up to. >> peter strzok wrote the letter about reopening the case. jim comey crushed hillary clinton. this is crazy unless dan brown is writing it and putting it in a book. >> peter strzok is a guy who changed the exoneration level from gross negligence -- >> because they

according to johnson's report page texted strzok about preparing talking points because, this is the operative line, pod us, president trump wants to know everything we are doing. okay. that one phrase was enough for senator johnson to make the connection between president trump and the clinton email investigation. and the current president of the united states did not wait for the facts, the context or the details before tweeting about johnson's report to 47.5 million followers in all caps, new fbi texts are bomb shells. and then sarah sanders came out calling for a review. >> i think it further shows there is reason for all of us to have great cause for concern in this pros stes and we hope it's more thoroughly and fully looked at as we move forward. >> okay. there is though a big problem with this conspiracy theory. it is a very big problem. because it just isn't clear that the text was talking about the clinton email investigation. here's why, because facts and dates matter. okay. the text is dated september 2, 2016. that's the text, right, about pot us wants to know what we are,

now, peter strzok wrote that first draft, sent it to some colleagues, some changes were made and that formed the basis of the comey letter. now, we are told separately that he supported reopening the investigation, but he did harbor some private reservations about going public. nevertheless, he did play this key role in moving forward with this investigation, according to the documents that we have obtained, and really paints a more complicated picture of peter strzok's role and maybe some democrats see this as a way to undercut the republican narrative that peter strzok was out to get hillary clinton, out to get donald trump, was going easy on hillary clinton and that this is suggestive that the mueller investigation too tainted with bias, all shows there are a lot more that these investigators are digging through to try to understand his role and others' role as part of this investigation, guys. >> manu raju on capitol hill, thank you so much. >>> the president set to leave the white house shortly. >> any moment. >> reporters will be there to ask him questions. will he answer them?

this comes after the president said in "the wall street journal" interview that fbi agent peter strzok had committed

peter strzok, lisa page, the fbi lawy lawyer. out he was fundamental in the drafting of the letter comey put out saying they were reopening the clinton investigation when they found the he mails on anthony weiner's laptop. the reporting seems that strzok wanted that open, that he was aggressively pursuing going after the e-mails, he wanted it investigated. but he was against it being made public the way comey made it. what is the significance? >> well, it is is significant, first of all, because peter strzok has been maligned particularly by house republicans for having potential bias. this whole thing, his involvement in the investigation and whether or not there was any type of bias is the subject of didn't of justice, office of independentor general investigation. and so that investigation, those reports are extremely stepsive. the inspector general is very aggressive. and so i think eventually -- those reports usually take a lot of time. but eventually we will understand better the narrative. what's interesting about it is it

the fbi agent under fire for the fbi texts, peter strzok. it turns out he also played a key role in the controversial decision for the fbi to reopen that investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails just days before the election. >> we'll talk much more about hope hicks in the spotlight she might be under right now because of the air force one meeting, the idea that maybe she was trying to obstruct justice. also the president leaving very shortly, he may speak to the press. we'll get our microphones to him and ask some questions. stay with that. >>> the super bowl is coming up. obviously there's a football game, big ads. usually there is a pregame interview with the president of the united states. guess which one of those three things is not happening this year. pass please. i'm here to fix the elevator. nothing's wrong with the elevator. right. but you want to fix it. right. so who sent you? new guy. what new guy? watson. my analysis of sensor and maintenance data indicates elevator 3 will malfunction in 2 days.

strzok -- daca is the electric is on capitol hill and that is why there's a little uncertainty at this early hour of the morning as to whether or not the house will pass this and sync up with the senate. here is the voting map. we believe the house republicans need to get 150 of their members, that is still losing 80 some. to make up the difference, to make up the vote deficit they will need 70 democrats, that is a pretty tall order especially when there's no daca arrangement and house minority leader nancy pelosi says she likes some of the elements of the role but is voting against it. >> it exchange with the children's health insurance program by four years ago infrastructure funding, $20 million, lifts the debt limit into march 2019. what happens then after march 23rd? >> that is keeping the government open the rest of this fiscal year through september 30th and they don't have any of that, by last september 30th, on this fifth interim spending bill the house approves this in the next few hours that will be the fifth stopgap spending plan. that is why all the fires are not put out y
