strzok texts back, oh, abysmal.d the text continues, this is important, on february 24, 2016, page texting, hillary clinton might be our next president. the last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. and peter strzok, who conducts the interview with hillary, is the lead investigator in the case, agrees. time to cover our backs. fix the clinton investigation. she's going to be our next president. we want to be on her good side. on march 3, 2016, trump is a loathsome human being, he's awful. hillary should win 100 million to zero. this man cannot be president. on march 16, 2016, i can't believe that donald trump is a serious candidate for president. the lead investigator, in the clinton server case, and by the way would be the lead in the start of this so-called trump russia witch hunt on june 11, strzok calls trump bigoted. on july 18, page calls trump an enormous expletive. july 21, strzok calls trump a disaster, only days away from beginning the so hive called collusion investigation. these texts are ev

reside in peter strzok peter strzok, lisa page. this is fruit of the poisonous tree. is something that rudy giuliani said that's very important here. beginning of a special counsel investigation, the investigation into trump was tainted. in all cases, should probably end right now. >> sean: let's go to gregg jarrett. i think that's a legal point. considering the circumstances, they exonerate hillary, they gave her the cadillac treatment, donald trump comes in, and it's bringing down doors and subpoenas and everything they didn't dos for hillary. >> james comey is at the forefront. his reputation as the day is absolutely in tatters. his integrity has been treaded. the ig found that he not only mishandled the hillary clinton case, he broke rules, violate the policy, exceeded authority, usurped the power of the attorney general, and he was engaging in rank insubordinatio insubordination. the ig says in the media, the liberal media has been seizing on this, well, we can't prove that his political bias influenced his decision through testimony or documents. of course you c

strzok is still there. based on what we read in the report today, there seems to be evidence, as you mention you, of this political bias. and if i could just say one thing, i think it's so important to pay attention to the language in the report. what they say is that they didn't find testimonial or documentary evidence. so no paperwork and no witness testimony that political bias infected the decisions of the clinton email campaign investigation, pardon me. that doesn't mean it didn't happen or it wasn't there. >> tucker: right. >> they are saying they didn't find evidence of it, right? i think that's an important distinction. >> tucker: it certainly is and thanks for pointing that out. catherine herridge, appreciate it. >> yep, see you later. thanks. >> tucker: today's report reveals as we just said that if james comey, no matter what you think of his politics repeatedly and demonstrably broke protocol and engage engaged in insubordie behavior. tom fitton is the president of judicial watch and he joins us

comey and strzok is at the forefront of it strzok interviews hillary.is telling page everything he hates about donald trump. we will stop him. and then, of course, we have an insurance policy and then later we will impeach him. then he becomes the heart and soul almost immediately thereafter of the russia quote investigation if you even want to call it that at this point. i do not think that any fair-minded objective discerning person can not see that these are the wrong people starting this under the wrong circumstances with abusively biased and corrupt opinions i would argue a lot of illegality in all of this. >> you know, sean, the question is not was there, you know, hate and bias we already know there was hate and bias a someone who has been a prosecutor and a judge, can i tell you the question is not is there hate or bias. anyone with common sense knows. this the question is, given the hate and bias, what are we going to do about it? and the inspector general's report does nothing but white wash a series of facts that are so corrupt, so biased and

agent peter strzok.e a lot of these situations based on my experience covering this topic for about 17 years now, it's often the questions that are not answered that can be the most important and what i've heard from lawmakers privately is that there were a number of questions about the russia investigation and peter strzok's contacts with individuals during that period that he declined to comment on on the advice of an f.b.i. lawyer. so that is what i'll be looking out for today, bill. >> bill: if that's the case, catherine, if his lawyer forbids him to answer so many questions yesterday, what's the chance christopher wray the head of the f.b.i. does something similar today? is that likely? >> well, i guess what i would give it to you in this context, lawmakers said to me yesterday is that the refusal to answer these questions was not really based on a classified or national security issue. this is an open unclassified setting and we heard from republican mark meadows yesterday that he felt that in this

liz: watch this text message with peter strzok. again, he initially was on the mueller probe, and the clinton e-mail probe as well he worked on it here is peter strzok in may of 2017 writing to lisa page again on whether or not he should join the mueller probe. for me and this case i personal ly have a sense of unfinished business. i unleashed it with the clinton probe called the mid-year exam and now i need to fix it and finish it. who gets about being assistant director versus an investigation leading to impeachment, mark and that's what peter strzok was texting. so how could the ig say there's no bias that didn't affect the investigation? >> well he was referring to the russia probe which is only beginning to scratch the surface that's a separate report, but you're absolutely right. the bias was rampant and they are up to their necks in it and peter strzok is going to come out on the losing end of that i think. this is the same person who talked about the insurance policy, and making sure that they took action to keep president

strzok protected hillary from known felonies. remember strzok was the lead agent in her case. that's under investigation and then tapped for the lead role in the fbi's trump-russian investigation rendering illegitimate mueller's investigation. he cleared hillary who committed one felony after another and worked against donald trump and tried to destroy him. that was all in the context of a presidential election. that sounds like a big deal to me in a lot of different ways. as he is trying to protect hillary clinton, isn't it interesting that it didn't work out. we scroll forward. strzok was the lead agent in hillary's server investigation. nobody in the media tells you this. he clears one person. think about this. in the context of a presidential election. targeting donald trump who becomes president. all right, as we move on. he will be called to testify before congress and the house judiciary chairman is ready to issue a subpoena. my prediction he ain't going to talk. he will join us in a few minutes. and we know strzok is the tip of the fbi high level corruption. t the ig r

strzok and mr. strzok blew it off. so my point is why wouldn't we go outside the fbi to look at the servers and this data? >> let me -- my understanding was there was some contact with other agencies, but i'd have to go back and just refresh -- >> i would love to know exactly who that is and who they were, because my understanding is that there's something peculiar in that regards. there were other people that noticed something totally different than what the findings that you're showing. >> right. okay. now i want to go back to this comment in regards. who told comey that reasonably likely was the proper way to explain the results for the intrusion analysis? >> i don't recall as i sit here. i'd have to go back and take a look at the report. >> do you feel that you delphed in -- you delved deif enough into this issue? >> we looked at the fbi analysis. we don't do an intrusion analysis as an ig. we look at the fbi. >> mr. strzok responded to the reasonably likely formation when reporting back to comey, did he not? >> ye

we have heard from priester strzok's lawyer.think hillary clinton should make a statement about this and sort of, you know, provide her final word on the issue? >> well, i wouldn't be surprised if she tweeted or did something about it. the fact is along the way much of what hillary clinton said about donald trump during the campaign and about her treatment by james comey and others has proven to be true. so, i wouldn't be surprised by that but the fact is, what james comey did and all the errors in his judgment do not undermine the findings of his time at the fbi about this matter. >> dana: all right. mary anne marsh and collin reed thanks for being here and we'll be right back. i'll take that.

and we believe that's peter strzok. let me say this, jim comey, in his interview here at special report, i asked about the strzok-page text. and if he knew now what he knew then, what he would do. >> i would have removed both of them from any contact with significant investigations, including those involving anybody connected to president trump, but beyond that. >> bret: so you'd rather the work product then be questioned? >> sure. >> bret: this deals with the bleach bit and of the server, sheryl mills and that. interviews michael flynn and his intro: this entire case. >> but he's one of many other people involved in all the things you ticked off. when i saw the tax, i was deeply disappointed in them but i never saw any bias. >> bret: any bias. >> while he's not reading the same texts that i am reading. peter strzok said the vote should be 100 million to zero. he can't think of a single solitary american that would want donald trump to be president. he said he will stop it. actually, director comey unwittingly just prov

the newly released texts between strzok and page, what did strzok mean when he said we'll stop trump from becoming president. we will be joined by bill mcgern on set next. don't go away. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. same thing with any dent or dings on this truck. they all got a story about what happened to 'em. man 2: it was raining, there was only one way out. i could feel the barb wire was just digging into the paint. man: two bulls were fighting, (thud) bam hit the truck. try explaining that to your insurance company. woman: another ding, another scratch. it'll just be another chapter in the story

we don't have confidence that strzok's decision was free from bias. like saying he had an agenda and obvious to anybody who looks at this in the right now. >> lou: you think the inspector general looked at all of this in the right way? he writes the report in the way james comey announced the predicate for the conclusion in the terms of prosecuting hillary clinton. like he was going to charge her and said no charges. this text message, we'll stop it and stop president trump from being president. this is eight days after peter strzok opened the russian investigation. this will stop it tex message happens on august 8th. and then the insurance policy and then potus wants to know everything we are doing. and look at it in context, this is scary stuff. and important to get peter strzok in for deposition and rod rosenstein and christopher wray under oath. that is why it is important. >> lou: here's why i think we have a problem. we can't rely on congress for investigation. it was demonstrated in benghazi and inspector general, it is moronic and deceitful wh

strzok responds no, no he won't. we will stop it.hat, in and of itself even though we don't have the full context, just that in a vacuum will create major fuel to the issue of what was happening behind the scenes. the other thing to note is that overall, the ig says they couldn't document political bias within the fbi on the decisions made early in the clinton email case. and does raise questions, though, about the bias they did find and how that affects the case after july, when the fbi director comey comes out with the news statement. >> jesse: seems like the report teased up the next ig report about the russia investigation, especially off the new page-strzok texts. kimberly guilfoyle. >> kimberly: i think there was a lot of people saying there's might be significant evidence in here. obviously quite voluminous. but in terms of the level of discussion that preceded this, do you think they take away, what you are hearing from behind the scenes, is that this was something that they overpromise, and are delivered. how would you chara

strzok and ms. page.hey start an investigation the trump campaign because they had a political bias or based on legitimate evidence? >> the lack of transparency hasn't served the country well in any of these matters. the question goes beyond personal bias but the question of whether or not the bias peter strzok manifested itself in the form of investigative decisions. >> how did the whole thing get started and whether it was some form of entrapment? >> my question is what role did they play in the russia investigation? >> these investigations were going on at the same time. whether you're a liberal or conservative, republican or democrat i don't know how you look at them and say that the same quality of justice was accorded to both. >> bill: fox news contributor, former u.s. attorney andrew mccarthy with us now. quickly, though, you heard the question about goodlatte about 15 minuteago about whether or not peter strzok was involved in the fisa application that was used to surveil carter page. is he or not

>> it's not limited to he peter strzok.on't know that the fbi could have chosen anyone worse to lead the trump russia investigation. had they picked hillary clinton to lead thatnvestigation, i don't know that the level of bias or prejudice against donald trump would have been any higher. the i.g. report tells us that it's peter strzok and lisa page, but it's also teams of agents and lawyers that are identified in this i.g. report, five of whom have been referred to the office of professional responsibility for their anticipate trump texts and -- anti-trump tex texts. on every page of this report you find some evidence of political bias against donald trump and that really calls into question the work that was done here with respect to the two highest profile investigations in recent times, both the hillary clinton e-mail investigation, and the trump russia investigation that became the special council matter. >> maria: if anybody has given us a window into how the rank and file or some of the leadership certainly felt about

what does strzok say? does he say he was? >> strzok says he's there somebody is lying. we'll figure that out later. norm of this is normal, folks. let's look at the actual interview itself. how many people were involved in the clinton interview on july 2? >> there were six or eighth people present and two agents conducting the interview. >> so as i understand it, there were two agents and two prosecutors. >> correct. >> this is an e-mail send in february 2016 from page to mccabe. page: you surely considered this but in my view, the best reason to hold the line at two and two, is she might be our next president. how did you feel about that? >> we were concerned about it and we lay out here why we were concerned. >> let's keep talking about this interview. one of the fbi agents said on election day to another fbi agent, you should know that i'm with her. now "her" was clinton, right? >> yes. >> how do you feel about that? >> concerned. >> eventually concerned is enough already. i'm very concerned, you know -- one, i'm glad i don't text and e-mail. that's one thing i'm gla

and peter strzok is in charge of that.ns after obviously this text is delivered in august. did that have something to do with it? the i.g. report says they can't come to a conclusion. it may have. >> shepard: so it's a poison pill argument? >> exactly. where you stand depends on how you look at the report. >> shepard: we know where the president stands. so based on this report, will we likely hear from the president, continuing the theme of this whole russia investigation is a hoax and here more evidence of it? >> 100%. it will be seven words that will be in a tweet somewhere. that is "no, no, he won't, we'll stop it." i think you'll hear those seven words a lot. i think it's interesting that the fbi director chris wray is coming out this afternoon. that is a news conference you'll want to hear. that will be the action after the i.g. report if there is action within the fbi. >> shepard: do we have -- you mentioned the russia investigation. is there a sense down there for where we are in that process? just depends who you l

that was peter strzok. fbi peter strzok was picked to lead the fbi's investigation into what russia did in july of 2016. it was a counterintelligence investigation begun in late july, 2016, and he was leading it and about the exact same time he was picked to lead it this dispassionate and fair fbi agent was calling trump a disaster, destabilizing for the country. i'll leave out all of the "f" adjectives he used. i'll go with disaster and destabilized. same time, his fbi lawyer or girlfriend lisa page was telling him he was meant to protect the country. this neutral dispassionate fbi agent said i can protect the country on my levels. -- at many levels. at the same time, peter struck was picked to neutrally look into the russia investigation and he was talking about an insurance policy with andy mccabe and lisa page in the event donald trump became the president. all of this came at the same time that strzok said he could smell the trump support in southern virginia. all of this was at the same time that this

he was talking about peter strzok's future as well yesterday. >> it's way past time for peter strzokareer and restore some credibility to the f.b.i. that most of us love and admire and certainly lady justice has to be someone who wears a blindfold and with peter strzok it was obvious with his text messages that was not the case. >> bill: when he talked about these reports from witnesses that were either edited or changed, with regard to the russia matter and the hillary clinton investigation, that's -- if true, that's another bombshell. >> it is. and those are called 302s. if there were adjusted the i.g. suggested that yesterday in some questioning, this is opening up another can of worms as far as how this f.b.i. investigation was happening. mark meadows referred to that. i think you are going to see peter strzok possibly testify and that could come in very few days. adam schiff suggesti he would like to see peter strzok up there testifying. others have said that. that could be very illuminating about the inside workings of how this investigation happened. remember the i.g., bill, d

the strzok/page texts where page asked strzok trump isn't going the become president, is he?it. the f.b.i. has turned over the first part of that, but somehow they did not turn over the answer, which was the no, we'll stop it part which was the revelation. got to figure out how that happened. >> bill: you started on this. this is taking us from one investigation to the next. the next investigation is the russia matter. but if you have all these communications between peter strzok and he is running your investigation, how do you put somebody like peter strzok on the witness stand if he were in a trial or court of law and say this guy is a credible witness? because you can always come back to the commentary he was offering over a period of 9 to 12 months and say wow, you had it in for this campaign. you were against this campaign from july -- for another year. if you think just objectively, isn't that the poison pill in this entire russia matter/bob mueller matter that gives us no credibility? last word on that. >> bill, here is the thing. strzok and page never talked publicly

and strzok replies "no, he's not. we'll stop it." the inspector general writes it's not only indicative of a biased state of mind but applies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidates electoral prospects. this is antithetical to the core values of the fbi and the justice department of justice. >> this is a damning report. no question. it was done thoroughly by an independent body whose job is to police those who have these powers. that said -- and i'm the first to admit that lisa page and peter strzok i think have caused more damage to the fbi's reputation than anyone that i can remember by this bad judgment. that said, within the fbi i don't think that there's any single point of failure so you look at these abhorrent texts, these exchanges in which we have to make sense of what they mean, if you're in the fbi and in a position of authority that strzok or page were in, if you were to attempt to influence an investigation for personal political reasons it wouldn't stand because you would have people

we have breaking news about peter strzok.upt pro-hillary a and anti-trump official and helped exonerate hillary clinton of all of the felonies she committed. today he was grilled but only behind closed doors by 2 committees on capitol hill. according to sarah sanders one representative said it was strzok. he is full of it and kept hiding behind the classified information excuse. fortunately we do have one hope. development. the house judiciary tweeted peter strzok will be interviewed first in a closed door deposition with classified information to sort through before a public hearing is held. a public hearing will be held. this public hearing is crucial. you the american people deserve to know how biassed at the highest levels of the fbi tainted the hillary clinton so-called investigation. it's irrefutable. she committed crimes. the same people involved in literally putting the fix in for her were the beginnings of the witch hunt into the collusion and the mueller investigate. peter strzok and lisa page and 3 other fbi invest

strzok, no, he won't. we'll stop it. those words, "we'll stop it" clearly raising lots of concern. >> yes. this is clearly the biggest red flag for the inspector general and it's also newly discovered evidence. he only found this text message in may. thousands have been turned over and seized by republicans on capitol hill as exhibit a of political bias, but this one was only recently uncovered and on this particular one the inspect or jgeneral makes and interestig point and he said the decision to prioritize the russia investigation over following up on the mid-year related investigative lead, meaning the finding that huma abedin e-mails on betweanthony anthony weiner' laptop is concerning. he said under these circumstances we did not have confidence that strzok's decision to prioritize the russia investigation over the following up on this mid-year related investigation lead was from free from bias. >> evan perez is with us as well. what impact does this have on the legitimacy of the overall clinton e-ma

strzok played a major role. about a month and a half before the wiener e-mails are discovered, she texted to him, trump's not ever going to become president, right? right? and what we learn now is that strzok responded as follows -- no. no, he's not. we'll stop it. now the ig says strzok told them that he doesn't remember sending that, but that he thinks he was simply trying to re-assure lisa page, with whom he was having a close relationship, that he wouldn't get elected, not because he was suggesting that he would do anything improper. this is a subtle little point in this 500-page report. what the ig says is they're not accusing strzok of playing an improper role. he was among the fbi officials who could have gotten the fbi to move more aggressively on the e-mails found on the wiener laptop in late september. they're not accusing him of having an improper political motive in not goosing that along and moving it faster, but they say they can't rule it out. so they're not accusing him of bias, they just say the

strzok should be in jail by the end of next week. >> peter strzok is an fbi agent who is no longer partmueller probe. the ig report did not deal with the mueller investigation. rudy guiliani using the report as inspector general for political purposes, suggesting somehow the mueller investigation is impugned. let's discuss a little of the fallout. joining me is two former fbi agents and josh campbell, former fbi advisory special agent james gagliano. thank you very much for being with us. josh, i want to start with you. let's go over the key findings. no evidence that prosecutors or comey were affected by political bias. comey broke protocol by announcing clinton was cleared fbi agent texted he's stop trump from becoming president. comey used personal e-mail. no evidence clinton and lynch discussed probe on tarmac. >> those who lived through 2016 and the 2017. if you think about all the ingredients that came together during this period of time, you had a major party candidate for president that was under fbi investigation. and then another candidate would become indirectly under investi

lou: as we can' as we conclude o be done about strzok.ss by what now is before them, in closed hearings and some documents of the millions they have requested. the congress has been stymied in the over site rule, there seems nowhere for to go. what are next steps as we see this is a significant operation that was designed specifically to under cut candidate. there . >> a level of criminality beyond the pale. the president needs to rip lid off this as every member of congress. any person involved in any oversight capacity, or any you know management position, whether it is president or attorney general, whoever has any influence, needs to make this public. this is such a grave abuse of power and authority, like nothing we've seen. this makes you know the nixon watergate burglary, look like keystone cop stuff, this is grave. public has a right to know. should know soon as possible. all details about this. lou: chris ferrel, judicial watch thank you. >> thank you, lou. lou: vote in our poll tonight, do you think that department of justice an

>> peter strzok, you name it. the highest leof bias i've ever witnessed in any law enforcement officer. and james comey, has a mclean to do. he's having a hard time getting his stories to match. horowitz wvery critical of him and deservedly so. >>chris: finally, where our house republicans in your demand, your call for the department of justice to share more documents. especially on this question of the use by the fbi of a confidential informant to penetrate the trump campaign. and also, do you believe that some of your colleagues that deputyod rosenstein threatened the house and staffers for demanding those documents. >> i wasn't in the room for that january meeting. i've been in the room for other meetings where tensions ran high. we had a meeting friday night. yet members of the house working on a friday night. paul ryan led this meeting. devin nunes, bob goodlatte, myself and everyone you can think of from the fti and doj. we went item by item on both of those outstanding subpoenas. we either have compliance,

the next day, strzok and page exchanged texts and the question is whether strzok should join the investigation and strzok road for me i personally have a sense of unfinished business. i unleashed it with the midyear investigation. now i need to fix it and finish it. solomon says he's not shocked. sorry, john, that's a shocking revelation. he wants to finish it. big talk from such a little man. sol. >> well, you know, it is shocking. something can be shocking but not surprising. as i've said before, even if we didn't know this stuff, he had no business transferring over to the russia gate investigation or whatever you want to call it. but i'll look at the oig report and i think they do say that strzok is biased and left a big cloud over the organization. what they said is we can't say other people made decisions too and we can't say his bias infected them. we look at one thing in particular that is stunning in this report, this very ironic, the oig cannot explain, they said there's no rational explanation why, after they found over 300,000 clinton emails on the anthony weiner laptop in late sep

and strzok replies "no, he's not. we'll stop it." the inspector general writes it's not only indicative of a biased state of mind but applies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidates electoral prospects. this is antithetical to the core values of the fbi and the justice department of justice. >> this is a damning report. no question. it was done thoroughly by an independent body whose job is to police those who have these powers. that said -- and i'm the first to admit that lisa page and peter strzok i think have caused more damage to the fbi's

we had a closed hearing on peter strzok. if you want to call his testimony like this, release the transcript. have an open hearing. don't characterize and not let him testify. don't take things out of context. release his transcript. >> that is not a point of order. gentlemen, proceed. >> agent strzok also -- >> the general says point of order. >> i assume it is a valid point of order to object to quoting or characterizing statements in a confidential setting. >> release their transcript, mr. chairman. we want to hear peter strzok's testimony under oath. do not hide his testimony. >> the testimony, mr. chairman, as you know from the transcribed interviews can be used for hearing purposes. >> release the transcripts to the american people. >> the transcript will be released at the appropriate point in time, but we can refer to it in this hearing. >> we are told that the transcripts are not to be quoted. >> the chair has ruled. >> gentlemen, so agent strzok also admitted that before and during that same year -- all right. agen

that was peter strzok. fbi agent peter strzok was picked to lead the fbi's investigation into what russia did in july of 2016. it was a counter intelligence investigation begun in late july 2016 and he was leading it. and about the exact same time he was picked to lead it, this dispassionate and fair fbi agent was calling trump a disaster, destabilizing for the country. i'll leave out all of the f adjectives he used to describe that. i'll just go with disaster and destabilizing. same time his fbi lawyer girlfriend lisa page was telling hem he was meant to protect the country. this neutral dispassionate fbi agent said, i can protect the country at many levels, same time peter strzok who was picked to objectively, fairly, neutrally look into the russia investigation was talking about an insurance policy with andy mccabe and lisa page in the event trump became the president. all of this was happening at the same time peter strzok said he could smell the trump support in southern virginia. all this was at the s

strzok a little nervous. >> why is it our job to prove strzok's bias. i have a better idea.trzok, you come before congress and the american public and prove to us your manifest animus against donald trump didn't affect your decisions. >> trey is exactly right. we have been requesting he be produced as a witness for quite some time. if that agreement is not reached we'll shortly issue a subpoena for him to appear. kennedy: is he in legal trouble and could anybody else go down with him? joining me, former defense attorney emily canpagno. there are so many questions for peter strzok. i hope he appears before some legal body to answer for the texts in question. what would you ask him? >> i will say we definitely have more teeth and here is why. i was struck today by wray's comments. he was going to hold the group of outliers accountable. but the reality of the fbi intern discipline system is bowing to precedence. it relates to a penalty table of offenses. there is aggravating and mitigating factors. and there is also a lower standard of evidence there it's preponderance. while t
