the herd administration? write it was probably better under the obama administration in part because the obama administration was so focused on a nuclear deal with iran. go back to the 2008 campaign. barack obama said he would sit under three conditions. hillary clinton mocked him for being naive and foolish. she did not know the half of it, but he was not just talking in the abstract about some general hezbollah national relations. he was talking in particular about iran and trying to reorder our alliance structure in the middle east. he admitted as much last year with atlantic magazine. therefore he always ended up in thewith iran interest middle east, all to get to a deal and preserve a deal. for instance, when students protested after the ayatollah election in the summer of 2009, largelya administration stood by. today, a meekly worded statement, not even strongly worded, in contrast. in two thousand nine, partner of ours, egypt, basically contested on its own and the obama administration immediately through them under the bus. they months later they launched air strikes against could offer you. no americ

. >> sean: talking about the obama administration. >> the obama administration is the most corrupt. >> sean: but, is there any reason you can think of that you would ever give 20% of the foundational material, american assets to putin and russia? what did america get? what did obama get? >> they didn't care. well, the clintons got $145 million. they didn't care. remember, obama is the president who said to the acting -- the then russian president medvedev -- caught on camera, let us get through the election, and then we can be a lot more generous to you. why would you think that these guys who are looney tune liberals who have no idea of the real world would have worried about giving putin uranium? they are -- they were out of touch with reality. they are still out of touch with reality. that's just a fact.

the connection of all of those to the clintons and the obama administration. entify every detail. every week night, at 8:00. the sworn enemy of lying come lying, pomposity, and groupthink. dvr it. sean hannity is taking it away from new york city. >> sean: what an amazing show. this is a fox news alert. welcome to "hannity." we are following four companies are breaking news stories. before we even start, tonight is the night of vindication. even "the washington post" is being forced to admit what we have been telling you for over a year. also tonight, john solomon reporting the obama administration gave a visa to a russian nuclear official ee showed he was involved in bribery and kickbacks, extortion and money laundering. all these schemes to advance vladimir putin's radium interest in america. wait until you hear this report. john solomon and sara carter will all be here with the very latest. also, victoria toensing.

bush at the start of the war on terror says it is because the obama administration was determined to >> the reason isis spread so rapidly across syria and iraq was because in 2012 for political reasons the obama administration with your military forces from iraq. does anybody think if we kept intelligence gathering and military training and military coordinators, and organized column of isis approach to mosul american firepower and american leadership could not have helped the iraqis keep them restrained and not allow them to take mosul. heather: some headlines, two more confederate monuments taken down overnight, this time statues of general john hunt morgan and vice president john c breckinridge removed from a courthouse in lexington, kentucky. the city hopes to move them to a cemetery where both men are buried. county leaders voted to take them down after the deadly riots in charlottesville. the mandalay bay secured he got shot while confronting the las vegas shooter is not missing after all. mgm resorts which owns the hotel says jesus campos just wanted his privacy after he myste

law firm that retains the trump russia dossier has connections to the clintons and dsc but the obama administrationhree senior officials left in recent years to work at perkins clearly is workfare today. >> is it possible former president obama knew about the dossier funding? joining us to weigh in his judicial watch president, thanks for joining us this morning, a question everyone is wondering. what did president obama know and how relevant is it going to be? >> in addition to the legal connection at the law firm for the dnc, the president was titular head of the democratic national committee with full cooperation in the white house and shut it down during the presidential campaign. you have to wonder if the president knew about this dossier compiling on behalf of the hillary clinton campaign. during the election president obama essentially said all hands on deck, we will investigate this russia collusion issues so you have to wonder if he and his intelligence agencies used this dossier to make the case the russians were colluding to help then president-elect trump when they all knew it was the c

the trump administration is facing. and really reverse engineering some of the decisions that were made late in the obama administration, saying now they're up for grabs in the trump administration. and we conclude along with you, i think, that it's unreasonable to expect that the problem will go away once isis is defeated. that isis is a manifestation of a deeper problem that will still have to be addressed even after isis is defeated. and whether it will be al nusra or some other son of isis, there will still be a network that has to be confronted, and that's why we identified the pros and cons of different choices that the administration could take and decide that the least worst one is something that is a continuation of what we saw late in the obama administration, kind of a light to medium print footprint of kinetic forward engagement in the region. and i'll let you take it from there. >> i'll just say that i think that's probably right. peter mostly took what i was going to say, but the other point is that it depends a little bit on what they do. if they continue with sort of the modern day version of the popular

with regard to giving the obama administration credit for the mexicans, that program basically started by the bush administration, the obama administration just gets the credit for continuing it. with regard to the issues of detainers and whether or not they have legal standing, a judge in organ ruled you cannot hold people without having a court order to do so. therefore, it was illegal to be requests inle under the obama administration agreed with the position that detainers were voluntary rather than illegal. would you agree with that? --no, i think that is an they misinterpretation of law. anthe government holds illegal alien, i don't see -- what dhs isart is is that the federal government be notified 48 hours before locals are going to release somebody. if an illegal alien is in jail for burglary and they are serving a six-month sentence, how is it a problem if the federal government says 48 hours released --ave been please notify 40 hours, how could that be a problem. justifies common sense that somehow it is a problem in the city doesn't want to do that. >> with that, please joi

>> lou: and we need to recognize as we wrap up here, the three administrations, the clinton administration, the bush administration an and the obama administration had absolutely horrid policies and results and in effect deferred a decision that now rests with this president and it is a burden some and complex one to resolve. >> no its been three administrations of failure and i hope trump doesn't make it a fourth. >> lou: ambassador john boulton thanks, good to have you here. thank you. >> lou: we're coming right back a lot more straight ahead stay with us. >> the white house urging the senate intelligence committee to end the russia collusion dilution nine months in and no evidence. and here is the chairman's explanation. >> the committee continues to look into all evidence to see if there was any hint of collusion. i'm not going to even discuss initial findings because we haven't any. >> meanwhile the russians are hacking the u.s. government and stealing nsa secrets. we'll take all of that up with judicial watch president tom fen ton. and tropical storm nate could strengthen into a hurricane and hit the u.s. as early as this we

the obama administration in 2011, and 2014. according to court records. t according to the anonymous sources. even though he was involved in a criminal conspiracy. i think that's why these questions are surfacing. there is a breakdown of the system or a knowing way to let these people enter our country. >> sean: to let people know how hard you've been working, you guys have known this evidence has existed for over ar year, correct? or suspected. >> about four or five months for me, personally. >> yep. right about the same time. a little bit longer. yes.er >> sean: the dnc and the russian dossier, sara, i am trying to understand this. now we have confirmation that the dnc and hillary clinton's lawyer paid -- they lied to us for a year -- outright lied to us. >> they didn't want to admit it right? nobody wanted the information to be revealed. and then we find out in april 2016, the dnc and clinton campaign refunding the dossier. sean, i was talking to sources that deal with russian intelligence. u.s. sources that deal with thee russians often. the minute chr

deliberately playing -- peter served in the bush administration and got to tell you the things that the bush administration did wrong. i served briefly in the obama administration and get to catalog the incidents that occurred under obama. so i'll just briefly focus on the three that peter mentioned. so the iraq draw down decisions in 2010, 2011, really in 2011 and stretching into 2012 and the decision essentially not to preempt isis before it took mosul in late 2013, early 2014 and i'm not going to go into chronological order in discussing these. i'm actually going to do something different. i'll go in order of the likelihood of achieving a different and better outcome had we followed different but plausible policies in these situations. and the case that we actually consider least promising in the sense that we have -- our assessment leads us to the least confidence that this would have changed events for the better is the syria 2011/2012. i think there's a strand of thinking that argues that the united states easily could have prevented the emergence of isis had it moved in a bigger way to bring about the fall of the assad regime or to interve

the trump administration has even gone further and canceled some of the programs that work of the small numbers of programs the obama administration had gotten going. i guess i'd like to ask you what should our federal government he doing to be trying to counteract these groups that have a first amendment right to believe what they want. they have a first amendment right to protest, to put up websites, but they don't have a first amendment right to try to intimidate people with violence, to engage in violence. what should be done about that problem? >> first i think we need to recognize that the problem is not confined to the muslim community certainly. and i think we made real strides to try and constantly reinforce that point in the obama administration. a lot of -- spilled on nomenclature, part of that was an effort to be very clear that violence in service of hate regardless of its ideological backing in whatever form it comes in should be unacceptable in a rule of law society. so one thing is being very clear about what is part of the problem. and look, i think in the obama administration we made a series of ch

the issue is how the establishment dealt with it under the obama administration. how somebody who was a suspect in that investigation was allowed to be the counsel for hillary clinton. how the blackberries were destroyed and how the laptops that the fbi had were also destroyed by the fbi government. that's a banana republic. you would have to be fired and right now, e.g. sessions has to have a national security -- >> sean: this is not a game anymore, the attorney general needs to wake up now. holder, clinton, mueller, rosenstein. they all knew in 2009. they approved the deal, gregg. >> holder actually sat on the committee if you can believe that. >> sean: he was the one that signed off. one of the nine. >> hillary clinton presides over at. >> sean: guys, we will have you back tomorrow too. we will continue this investigation. we are not going to stop. part two of our exclusive interview with the first daughter, ivanka trump. she talks about how she responds to the vicious attacks from the left. .. .. >> sean: as we continue on this breaking news night tonight on "h

the evidence shows hillary clinton and the obama administration put this country in danger. handing russia america's uranium. even though there was blackmail and bribery and worse being committed. where was the liberal mainstream media during all of this? the media running wild with all kinds of conspiracy theories about president trump and a russia for months and months with no evidence? here's some more unhinged examples of the left. listen to their language. it applies to them tonight. it applies to the clintons tonight. it applies to obama tonight. watch this. >> we want to start with this week in russia gate. to speak of it that there are no shoes on the trump human centipede that are not about russia. russia, russia, russia. >> this thing about collusion with russia will hang over him no matter where it stands. >> we are in the opening stages of a devastating political chapter in american history. the russia probe. >> the election hacking is at the caliber of a pearl harbor or 9/11. do you agree with that? >> i completely agree with that. >> donald trump sits at the thr

maybe that's the reason why the obama administration blocked this fbi informant from talking. he might be able to expose the criminal conduct from the clintons and others within the obama administration. whatever nondisclosure agreement this informant apparently signed with the obama department of justice, it needs to be ripped up and it can be ripped up by the trump administration. by the justice department. you, the american people, deserve to know the truth about the clintons and how they sold out your national security. finally tonight, and just a pathetic display and despite mountains of evidence, and two congressional investigations, hillary clinton is saying oh, she did nothing wrong during the uranium one deal. clinton is also attacking president trump, fox news and yeah, even yours truly. because we are telling you the truth. watch this. >> sean hannity on his program has been very critical of the uranium one deal, the president saying with regard to russia, that is the real story in all of this. what would you say to those critics? >> it's the same baloney they've bee

had the obama administration ignored that, republicans would be all over the obama administration administration. it's a crazy thing. i have to add monday more thing, one of the things the trump administration has done to empower iran and very weak on iran is that they haven't taken on iran in syria. they've left in place iran's proxy. by canceling a program to arm anti-assad forces, that's something this trump white house did. that is a spre pro iran move. >> and the alignment, the partnership, the refusal to condemn russia also indetectel strengthens iran, doesn't it? >> it does because in effect there is an alliance there between the iranness, the syrian regime and the russians in syria and the trump administration has been unwilling to take that on. >> thanks, guys. we're going to sneak in a quick break, but when we come back, facebook, russia and american democracy. can facebook coo cheryl sandberg say i'm sorry. we'll put that question to the reporter who just interviewed here when the is 1st hour continues. slept... you're not you. tylenol® pm relieves pain and helps you fall fast asleep

the obama justice department. the question is why isn't somebody looking into this? why did the obama administrationup when it was going on? jillian: our legal analyst has been talking about crimes she could face, 13 of them. one specifically you point out, the federal bribery statute. >> the federal prosecutor used the language of the bribery statute, said that my client has information about an attempt to reach hillary and bill clinton. that is classic driver he. when you influence the uranium deal with violation of the federal bribery statute that could lead to hearing charges, the shocking part is no one has investigated it. rob: $500,000 to bill clinton to make a speech and meet with vladimir putin, three times his normal speaking engagement fee, $100 million, why do the russians wants to give money to an american foundation? as a prosecutor you got to admit there is a lot of smoke to start investigating. >> there is not only smoke, there is fire. after a while it is so absurd to stick your head in the sand. the reality is a lot of money was being funneled to the clintons at a time when the rus

and acted politically behind the scenes when the evidence was clear certain members of the barack obama administrationbetted the russians taking control of a critical national resource. lou: i understand why the obama administration wouldn't want this informant speaking, and they have gone to the extent of constructing a non-disclose our which has criminal penalties to the knowledge as i understand it has never been done before. usually it's civil penalties. i don't understand why jeff sessions, the attorney general of the trump justice department isn't lifting that non-disclose our right now and freeing this informant to tell the jiewf dish airive committee and the american people everything he those about what appears to be one of the or the most of extraordinary cover-ups in this country's history. >> it's a cover-up. and in this case mr. sessions can actually remove the restriction with literally the stroke of a pen, vai kaights that non-disclose our agreement. you probably have career members at justice and the fbi fully involved in this. we are talk about comey, mccabe and rosenstein, probably -

one is the obama administration looked the other way when russian interests were trying to get a foothold here during hillary clinton's tenure at the state department. that was in one or two articles. bill clinton gave a very expensive speech in russia and soon thereafter hillary clinton was sitting on the board of a group. she had decision-making power, a group that allowed, had jurisdiction over who would get uranium rates. 20% went to russian interests. it's easy to connect the dots for americans to understand. i think the reason the democrats are saying nothing to see here, i know nothing is because nobly wants to take response building. this is exactly why a significant majority of americans up until election day last year said they find hillary clinton to neither be honest nor trustworthy. they feel like there is something dirty and irrefutable going on. now they've got everybody saying i don't know. somebody was involved. i have seen anywhere from a few million dollars to $9 million in reporting. the last time a party spent several million dollars and couldn't figure out whether th

before the house of representatives through the obama administration and a federal court out of washington said exactly what the speaker just said, that you can't take money out of the treasury unless it's appropriated by congress and essentially the obama administration appealed the house of representatives ask for a hold on that appeal because they want to allow the trump administration and congress to work out changes in obamacare. obviously, that didn't happen and that's with a truck is now. >> harris: your member the day, she was still an interim status. sarah sanders at the lectern and called upon congress to do their job. and you are the president say in congress, they forget that their pledges were. constipation congress realizes the noon hour. is not something new, but having a president say get over it get things moving, it has to happen now. so we potentially could see the iran deal put in the hands of congress with 60 days to go but i hope they do their job and get done what they need to do. >> lisa: and the potential to see lawsuits in the wake of this. i spoke with senator te

is there anything the obama administration did right? are there things they did that are worthy of praise that should be continued? >> it is a complicated one, but yes. the obama administration started removing more people caught at the border. this is a numbers game. in the u.s. when people were caught, they were returned. colloquially, most americans would think as being returned as the same thing. but the policies of dhs are two different things, a return and removal. traditionally, most were returned, while arrests occurring in the interior, that resulted in removals. that is not a hard and fast rule, but a rule of thumb. president obama started removing more people caught at the border. this is a good thing because people who are removed, if they reentered the u.s. there is a penalty attached to it. theou remove someone, you de-incentivize them from coming back. they stopped removing people from the interior and all those people being returned were now being removed at the border. ofch is why the net sum people being deported fell, b

there is a perception the obama administration did not do a good job. r: you deserve to be told that going out with your lives on the line, takes a special person to do that. thank you so much to everyone that served under you. the time is 6 minutes until the top of the hour. do you think you have a good idea who ivanka is? >> people don't realize it is our hidden skill. heather: what she just revealed is up next. ♪ love is in the air ♪ heather: a big surprise for middle school students, a visit from first lady melania trump, promoting the anti-bullying program no one eats alone. the event kicking off the week of inclusion as part of national bullying prevention and ivanka revealing something on sean hannity last night. >> our secret talents. people don't realize it is our hidden skill come we are matchmakers. 7 marriages, 0 divorces, god willing that continues. heather: this started after the revelation that sean hannity tried setting up one of his assistants. that wraps it up for the 4:00 am our. "fox and friends" continues, see you back later. goodbye

administration because the obama administration folks say all the trump folks are doing is ugh on our strategy, yes or no? >> well, the obama administration made a strategic error, main effort should have been the caliphate in syria because that was their headquarters. we made the main effort iraq and we had to wait for a year and a half to get the troops retrained to be able to do it, during that entire time we should have taken the caliphate away and in my judgment, isis would not have become this significant iconic force it became and be able to direct activities worldwide. five years in that cap fate was much too long. all that said, the facts are that the trump administration came in, took the obama plan, but made it more effective. easy enough on the rules of engagement, putting artillery in there, commanders on the ground full authority to conduct a war, no micro managing in the white house, they deserve credit for changing how we operate and making those operations more effective. paul: okay, now let's move on from here. what now because i don't detect, frankly, any

ignored that, republicans would be all over the obama administration. and to add one more thing, one of the things the trump administration has done to empower iran, they've been very weak on iran, they haven't taken on iran in syria, by empowering the russians and canceling a program to arm anti-assad forces, that's something this white house did, that is a very pro-iran move. >> and the alignment, the partnership, the refusal to condemn russia, also indirectly strengthens iran, doesn't it? >> it does, because there is an alliance between the iranians, the syrians, and the russians. the trump administration is unwilling to take that on. >>> when we come back, facebook, russia, and american democracy. can facebook's coo, sherrill sha sheryl sandberg say the words i'm sorry? we'll put that question when "the 11th hour" continues. belieh of our water sources is essential to the health of our communities. which is why we're helping to replenish the mighty rio grande as well as over 30 watersheds across the country. we're also leading water projects in more

and its conduct in the united states before the obama administration approved a controversial uranium deal with moscow in 2010, the main player in the scandal is hillary clinton. whose state department approved a deal to sell uranium 1 to russian atomic agency. at the time 4 house republicans urged obama administration to block the deal because of national security concerns. they rightly sounded that alarm it would give moscow control of 20% of u.s. uranium reserves and a controlling interest in one of condition re's largest urainion -- countries largest uranium mining sites. we have just learned there was a criminal invest gre investigatio official at the atomic agency. secretary of state clinton was more interested in a payoff. that was huge, 9 investors in the rosa tom deal funneled $145 million to clinton foundation, before, during and after u.s. government approved the deal, former president bill clinton also benefited and personally iraqing in a half millio mill -g in a half million dollars. now critics' to know, whether obama administration officials who covered for clintons we

from the cuban embassy in washington that works in may the trump administration said nothing you have these attacks beginning during the end of the obama administration the obama administration said nothing so i think you have both governments. within the careerists not wanting this to become so combustible that you can't extinguish. but let's talk about the effect this is a big deal whether it's you know expelling diplomats the travel warnings and sanctions it's a big deal for business and tourism at industry is hit hard by any sort of travel sanctions and warnings they got a boom when the u.s. and cuba promoted the travel between the country is just a short time ago what are going to be the short term effects as news such as that today's news drifts out over the coming week and we and we start to see more people commenting on that the news coming out of cuba and news coming from business leaders here. the good news for the cubans is u.s. insurance companies did not react negatively to the placement of cuba on the travel warning list on the state department issued that last week and if the u.s. insurance companies had gone to the airl

decisions that accelerated the defeat of the islamic state and they're ones that have been with the obama administration of the syrian civil war. one was to take raca with the syrian kurds. the obama administration wanted to wait until the rebels in syria could do it and to make turkey happy but trump said i'm going to take it with the kurds and tell turkey to back off. secondly, trump went over the amount of americans in syria, to give those kurds the kind of heavy equipment and artillery necessary to move in a major ground operation against raca, and those were both decisions that turned out well. >> liz: i think the trump administration we've had officials come on this show saying that this is about enlisting muslims to your point, to fight jihad and the radicals in their midst. this is a global movement of ideology. isis oral died a still active in at least 10 failed or weak states including yemen, libya, afghanistan, egypt and nigeria. i mean there's a danger and a false sense of security and the trump administration is talking about that but andrew i want your reaction to what barack obama painted

the uranium one scandal is not only or even principally a clinton scandal. it's an obama administration scandal. the clintons were just doing what the clintons do. cashing in on their public service. the obama administration, with secretary clinton at the forefront, but hardly alone, was knowingly compromising american national security interests. the administration green-lighted the transfer of control of 1/5 of american uranium mining capacity to russia, a hostile regime. and specifically to russia's state-controlled nuclear energy conglomerate. worse, at time the administration improved the transfer, it knew that the company's american subsidiary was engaged in a lucrative racketeering enterprise that had fraud, extortion and money laundering offenses. the not in the article but it does raise the question, gee, i wonder if the obama administration or director mueller, the f.b.i., knowing all these things, apparently, if anybody bothered to tell secretary clinton about the situation. and that the entity -- or that ey were being courted by was actually tied to felony extortion, fraud a

administration issued fewer rules than or the reagan administration or the bush administration. the obama administration issued fewer. it should more economically significant regulations, but when you strip away the congress, require the administration to do, this myth that regulatory activity under obama was a market departure from the historical norm is nonsens. trump does not have some big inflated stock of terrible rules that this administration can just go in and sweep away. they are working off of a pretty well curated set of rules on the books. once they get beyond the ones they do not like, even if they are good rules, they are going to have a harder time than they think sweeping away the stock.. susan, you look like, yes, i agree. i think the rhetoric is definitely deregulatory. that is certainly the language, more than we have seen in decades. i also agree that we will always be that there will always, i also agree that there will always be entrenched interests. companies with the most for citrus opponents of a new regulation and what it was in place and the agency realized that

is there anything that the obama administration did right? are there things worthy of praise that ought to be continued? >> yes. though it's a bit of a complicated one. one of the things the obama administration did was removing more people who were caught at the border. but this is a bit of a numbers game. traditionally in the united states when people were caught at the border they were returned to their home country. culocualy many would think of them as being deported for umthe united states. but in the parlance of dhs, those are two different two things he a return and a removal. traditionally most of them were returned. while arrests in the interior resulted in removals more or less. it's a rule of thumb. what president obama started doing is removing more people caught at the border. this is a good thing because people removed, if they reenter the united states, there's a penalty attached to it. if you remove someone, it's disincent vising them from coming back legally and they held it up as saying look at us we're really good on enforc

the aclu is threatening to sue the administration over it. there are certain paths they can taking it's going to be a little bit did you not because under the obama administration's role, there were so many lawsuits and there are still about 50 pending lawsuits that started from under the obama administration, so all of that is going to be worked out. but the way they did this can be attacked. whether companies are going to try to limit women's access to birth control is going to be looked at as well. >> all right. big news today. kimberly leonard, thank you so much from the washington examiner for shedding light on it. appreciate it. >>> today's jobs report shows the extraordinary impact recent weather events have had on our economy. calculations from estimated it could cause between and 245 billion in economic losses >> that was the white house press secretary responding to the latest jobs report. the economy lost 33,000 jobs last month. it's the first jobs loss in nearly seven years. experts blame the drop on the recent hurricanes. here's the deal. the news was not all bad. of the unemployment rate fell to a 16-year low >> we're here going to

because the obama administration said all of the trump folks are doing is basically following g through o our strategy. >> the obama administration made a strategic error. we made the main effort, i rock and yet, we had to wait a year and and a half to get the troops retrained to be able to do it. during the aentire time we should've taken this caliphate away and in my judgment, isis would not have become this significant iconic force that it became and be able to direct its activities worldwide. five years and that caliphate was much too long. all of that said, the facts are that the trump administration came in, took the obama plan but made it more effective. easing up on the rules of engagement, putting in apache helicopters, getting them commanders on the ground, full authority to conduct a war with no micromanaging from the white house. they deserve credit for changing how we operate in making the operations more effective. >> now is move on. what now because i do not detect frankly any us, clear your strategy what happens next. what we want to do next in syria or iraq. can you dec

this is the same obama administration, desperately did not want donald trump to succeed barack obama havior is, it ought not be surprising. david: it was very shocking to me, i got to say. i not peter schweizer. we've been doing reports on uranium deal for years. >> schweizer is terrific. david: to know that the fbi had dossier how russians bribing u.s. officials and maybe some of that bribery going on with the clinton foundation it is shocking. it is shocking that the obama administration would allow the sale to go on knowing the -- >> so the question is, if rod rosenstein, the number two person in the justice department who was in charge of all the russian investigation, because attorney general recused himself or if the attorney general is listening, why isn't this being pursued now? the evidence is not stale. the path has not run cold. the statute of limitations has not yet expired. david: one question i mentioned dossier. there is a famous russian dossier on president trump. >> yes. david: it was thrown out there, a lot of people assume by democratic operatives to make him look b

the clinton foundation. bust context is this. remember when obama came in, the first thing he did was throw the coal under the bus. this wall about the obama administration and now you have the democrats yelling and screaming how donald trump is soft and putin it's hypocritical. >> larry and i have some odd agreements here. i have been hard on the whole russia thing for both obama administration and trump administration. russians are not our friends. >> the deal should never have gone through. ethan agrees and i agree on that. judge jeanine: you realize two people knew the head of the fbi, the head of the justice department. and you have a believe deal that's unheard of that's been sold on a weekend when no one is going to hear about it. when there are bells and whistles in violation of justice department rules. come on, guys. do you really believe that national security thing? what do you know about criminal prosecution? they violated their own justice department guidelines. >> the deal never should have gone through. add that to it and it makes it even more outrageous. if clinton knew about the fbi probe and still approved it it was pay-to-play. judge
