trey gowdy is one of my heroes. i always loved trey gowdy. i don't know if he went to the dark side. he understands credibility, lying and the courtroom. why would he talk to christopher wray and rod rosenstein saying i haven't seen the documents but i believe everything they are saying. >> i disagree with his analysis and it goes to what jim said. they should have just told candidate trump this is something they were concerned about. instead they chose to take taken aggressive posture vis-a-vis the entire campaign. they launched this massive counter-intelligence investigation based on papadopoulos saying something to downer. we know when downer reported that to u.s. authorities, he didn't even mention emails. there wasser in a discussion about emails. so the start of it is as thin as you can possibly be. and i would also say there was more information or evidence that would require you to surveil hillary's campaign and trump's campaign. look at the national security implications. they were paying a foreign national christopher steele to coll

didn't side with trey gowdy's view of what happened here, but a very significant development. 's paul ryan saying that what gowdy said, was there nothing to dispute what gowdy said and we'll see how the president and the white house reacts. so far the president has continued to mak these unsubstantiated charges -- >> hold on one second. let's listen to the coach of the philadelphia eagle, the uninvited team yesterday. >> i'm not discussing it. over. what you've seen and what you've heard is enough and i'm not discussing. i'm not going to stand here and discuss it because we have two practices and i have a mandatory camp next week and i'm focused on that. >> how is the morale of the team? >> great. the team's great. [ inaudible question ] >> no. no. we're united. we're a team. it's been that way since i've been here. [ inauuestion ] >> we're focused on today, focus on getting a great practice here today, tomorrow and next week and our focus is 2018 and that's motivation enough. >> did you address the whole situation with your players? >> no. no. i mean,listen, it's -- no. [ [ in

speaker ryan and what he said. >> reporter: a very significant move here by paul ryan, backing up trey gowdy, someone he's been very close with over the years. gowdy said the fbi did actly what it was supposed to do, got a lot of criticism from people like rudy giuliani, others on the criticizing trey gowdy but only a handful of members in congress have seen the classified intelligence about this confidential fbi source. one of those membe ryan. when i asked today about whether or not hes with trey gowdy, he said he did. >> reporter: right before the recess, you sat in a briefing with trey gowdy who came out afterwards and said he's more convinced that the fbi did exactly what my fellow citizens would want them to do. do you agree with trey gowdy? >> normally i don't like to comment on classified briefings. let me say it this way. i think chairman goal assessment is accurate. but we have some more digging to do. we're waiting for some more document requests, more documents to review, we still have some unanswered questions. nformationie r.een helpful if we as chairman nunes said the other da

. >> you sat in a briefing with trey gowdy who said that he's more convinced the fbi -- [ ? normally like to comment on classified briefings. i think chairman gowdy's initial assessment is accurate, i think. we have more digging to do. we're waiting for some more document requests. we have some moreents to review. we still have some unanswered questions and it would have been helpful if we'd gotten this information earlier. as chairman nunes said the other day, if we had the information we were looking for we could wrap this up faster, but i have seen no evidence to the contrary of the initial assessment that chairman gowdy has made, but i want to make sure that we run every lead down and make sure we get the final answers to these questions. >> so, kate, no evidence to the ront raer contrary of what trey gowdy said this is what mitch mcconnell said who was also at one of those briefings last month and he said he saw nothing particularly surprising and chairman richard burr, the senate intelligence committee would not comment about what he saw in that briefing and only devin

trey gowdy went out of hisway to say it should be completed .s: he said in terms of prussian interference. he wasn't talking about collusion or obstruction. >> i hope there is no collusion or obstruction but i think we should let the investigation conclude and find out what mueller knows. while some people are impugning mueller, i certainly would in most members wouldn't. he had an exemplary run as the head of the fbi and u.s. attorney before that. he was nominated by immigrants and republicans right around 9/11. i worked closely with them . the last comment about the fbi, this isn't the first strange event at the fbi. i had my own event which was very strange with the fbi. my view is yes, there need to be changes at the fbi but christopher wray seems to be a responsible leader and will take in a better direction. >>chris: how big a deal is this to hear trey gowdy who's been a pretty honest broker suddenly really change his opinion about the mueller investigation and presidenump's potential gal liability? >> i suspect trey gowdy will do the same

also trey gowdy said nothing's been proved. just bias. nobody in the trump campaign did anything wrong. just bias. if you have evidence, prove it. that could come, i must tell you, congressman gowdy, as a cold -- cold comfort to paul manafort, who actually -- i know congressman gowdy, you actually around during the -- a lot of people would call it the russian campaign, donald trump's campaign -- but paul manafort was actually donald trump's campaign chairman. and donald trump told me during the campaign he had to hire manafort if it he wanted to win the republican nomination, because manafort knew how to get delegates. so manafort indicted, sitting in jail, congressman gaudowdy, micl flynn, the guy who flew around with donald trump everywhere, because he kept him calm. michael flynn, congressman gowdy, said nothing's been proven. guilty. he was also donald trump's first national security adviser. rick gates, also a top campaign aide also helped, believe it it or not in the transition toward the inauguration, guilty, also cooperating with r

like trey gowdy.rmant, aka, spy, at the dnc to chase down the russians hacking the dnc's e-mails? no. if they're trying to protect us and the candidates and the election from the russians where weren't there informants in jill stein's campaign or hillary clinton's campaign? >> sean: boom, check mate. we have our finance -- fox nes contributor and author and let me start with the response to trey gowdy. why weren't there spies in the other campaigns and chris steel said it's 50/50 used to get fisa warrants on american citizens one that happened to be in the trump campaign. >> there weren't spies in other campaigns, sean, because they were spying on trump not the russians. this is -- i don't know if trey gowdy wafted a little bit -- >> sean: he never saw the documents. how could me make that document -- >> but me made a comment so irresponsible he said americans should be confident the fbi worked the case as they should have. then why did they hide it from congressional oversight for eight months when t

and senator richard burr said i think trey gowdy's assessment was correct. and house speaker paul ryan. >> normally i don't like to comment on classified briefing. i think trey gowdy's initial assessment is accurate. we have some more digging to do. we are waiting for more document requests and more document review. >> republicans break with the president at the latest indication he lacks any evidence to back up his claim of a major political scandal. the only republican briefed on the intel who has not broken with the president is devin nunes. he has demanded more documents. >>> president trump's lawyer rudy giuliani furthest r escalag the efforts at the conference in tel aviv, rudy giuliani misrepresented the formation and purpose of the mueller team with this claim. >> a group of 13 highly partisan democrats to make up the mueller team, excluding him, are trying very, very hard to frame him. they can't emotionally come to grip was the fact that the russian collusion didn't happen. >> giuliani also said first lady moe melania trump does not believe stormy

maria: congressman, what does trey gowdy say there? >> well, what he's really talking about there is that trey gowdy believes that he has been told multiple times by the department of justice that donald trump, president trump is not a target of this investigation. he believes he's been told that multiple times so he comes to the conclusion, well if they were only going after russians if the fbi was only going after russians and donald trump's not a target of this investigation then what is all this about? and so the mainstream media continues to ignore that piece that mr. gowdy i think has clearly said now on multiple occasions but was very clear about it last week, in that president trump is not a target of this investigation, in his own mind. now you have to remember that mr. gowdy loves the fbi and the department of justice. i think all americans want to have a good department of justice and fbi doing their job, and if they're targeting russian s or chinese or what have you that's what we expect them to do; however the challenge we

i trust trey gowdy. i trust the people who have seen this intelligence.ly, the fact that you have devin nunes completely sile silent, that you have marco rubio and graham also saying there's been no evidence to support what president trump is trying to put out there. i think that speaks volumes. >> but do you see his point, that some of the other leaders the fbi have had questionable behavior in his view, republican's view -- >> they're gone. >> -- and that raises questions? >> and they're gone. yes, mccabe was fired. i think what trump is trying to do and his allies like ken is to conflate the two. it's weird for me, a democrat, a progressive and a liberal, to be defending the fbi, but that's kind of where we have gone. more than that, i see what we're doing is defending the truth while trump has no idea what the truth means. >> you do have rudy giuliani saying just recently all of this is part of a pr strategy to sway public opinion. ken blackwell, maria, as always, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> and we'll be right back. ♪ with expedia you could bo

we heard trey gowdy and he said they have to respond. does this put more pressure on intelligence officials to respond to investigators in line. >> one thing is this has been going on in-house intel for a long time. a lot of questions about bias for them. doj has had some cover to fight back. now with paul ryan saying he will bring this back on the house floor from his going to use the constitutional weapons the house has two forced doj can never documents. absolutely a lot of pressure. >> robert mueller has to know that this is ammunition for his political enemies. that is not something that i mueller cares about, is it? he probably feels pressure but he wants to complete the investigation or that's what he supposed to be doing. >> is no accident we haven't seen people like ryan and gabby turned the guns i mueller because what's he supposed to do. you've carried out the mueller probably agrees with at least one of these talking points from a lot of these republicans. the last time a body shot after body shot from the president. however

let's turn quickly to trey gowdy. you know trey gowdy.aying the american people would be thrilled to have an fbi spy in a presidential campaign. what happened to your friend gowdy? what has he become? >> no. i have the greatest confidence in trey gowdy. there are two parts to what he said. lou: wait a minute. jason chaffetz says there are two parts. >> hold on, lou. the second part has nothing to do with donald trump. and that did not get nearly enough attention as it should. lou: that's on trey gowdy. jason, thanks so much. mark, appreciate it.join us tom. good night from new york. kennedy: a news alert. a major development in the nuclear stand standoff. the communist regime's notorious spy chief will the deliver a letter tomorrow written by kim jong-un. and it could mean the june 12 summit is back on. the vice chair of the central committee kim yong chol met with mike pompeo. it's the highest ranking meeting with the nort north

the speaker trusts him, thinks highly of trey gowdy. his role throughout all of this, and gowdy's willingness to talk about this on fox news and his perspective gave ryan an opportunity to talk about something that's happened behind closed doors. gowdy laid this out there. now the speaker has backed it up, walked the line a little bit, but backed it up. our colleague heard from richard burr, who rarely speaks on these issues, he said he agreed with trey gowdy. you're seeing everyone but devin nunes saying everything the fbi has shown us shows what the fbi did was correct and in line with their process and what the fbi did is not at all what the president is trying to say. >> sometimes we need to slow down in the blur age of trump we live in. so the speaker of the house, trey gowdy, three very prominent republicans, including the man third in line to the presidency, saying mr. president, stop. mr. president, you are wrong. mr. president, the fbi did not spy on you. mr. president, give it up. >> he's not really saying that, though. they'r

let's turn quickly to trey gowdy. you know trey gowdy. it big time saying the american people would be thrilled to have an fbi spy in a presidential campaign. what happened to your friend gowdy? what has he become? >> no. i have the greatest confidence in trey gowdy. there are two parts to what he said. lou: wait a minute. jason chaffetz says there are two parts. >> hold on, lou. the second part has nothing to do with donald trump. and that did not get nearly enough attention as it should. lou: that's on trey gowdy. jason, thanks so much. mark, appreciate it. >> let me be clear, these tariffs are totally unacceptable. for 150 years canada has been the united states' most steadfast ally. cheryl: breaking this morning, u.s. trading partners denouncing u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum that take effect today, europe, canada and mÉxico say they will retaliate with tariffs on u.s. products on motorcycles and whiskey. cheryl: trade war with selloff yesterday with the dow sinking. cheryl: investors starting a new month. right now futures actual

writing directly to your friend trey gowdy. >> jason: gowdy is right at almost all of this stuff.ene to look closely. peter strozk has a lot that congress wants answered for months. they would not allow them to come to capitol hill. now that there is an actual i.g. report suddenly he wants to come testify before congress. i will be fascinated to hear what they have to say and they should listen. >> harris: he should text message his answer then. i mean wouldn't you love to hear the man behind the text messages? >> melissa: we have never heard him speak that i know of and having read the messages what would be the first question to ask him? >> jason: i'd ask why he would think 100 million people should vote for hillary clinton. there isn't a single person that he knows of that would vote for trump. how is it that the mind set would allow him to do his job as the head of counterintelligence for the bureau of investigation. >> i wano bring up a point in this. the two people weren't just anybody at the f.b.i. they were working on a presidential candidate in hillary clinton. her e-mail

let's turn quickly to trey gowdy. you know trey gowdy.ed in it big time saying the american people would be thrilled to have an fbi spy in a presidential campaign. what happened to your friend gowdy? what has he become? >> no. i have the greatest confidence in trey gowdy. there are two parts to what he said. lou: wait a minute. jason chaffetz says there are two parts. >> hold on, lou. the second part has nothing to do with donald trump. and that did not get nearly enough attention as it should. lou: that's on trey gowdy. jason, thanks so much. mark, appreciate it. here is lou dobbs. lou: our top stories diplomatic drama, united states and north korea make a last-ditch effort to save singapore summit. secretary of state pompeo warning kim jong-un must make major concessions if he wants to sit with president trump on june 12. we take up the latest development with general jack keane. president trump keeping his promises putting american workers first on trade. much to chagrin of dems, rinos, round table, eu, and mexico, canada, "wall street

who is trey gowdy and which trey gowdy will show up at which public hearing in which sound bite. gregg: he could play si sybil ia movie. but he got it right talking to peter strzok and others in deposition. the funny thing that occurred today was when -- and i mean funny in the most of pejorative way. when rosenstein said strzok's behavior was inappropriate. talk about the understatement of the year. this is a guy hot inspector general said has a willingness to use and abuse his position to influence an election. lou: he was given by his superiors three critical opportunities to do so. at least two opportunities to do so when he was assigned to the russia collusion case. he was assigned to -- as well. the mid term exam if they decided to use a pseudonym. it's remarkable. the emscandal of the former secretary. gregg: there is only one, peter strzok and he taints all the investigation. lou: why in the world has the republican party en masse, particularly in the house, jim jordan, mark meadows, ron desantis, the list goes on. but for the most of part the republicans and the congress

chairman bob goodlatte and trey gowdy are in the room. here is trey gowdy.ments, five minutes each and trey gowdy. >> bill: look at that picture there behind michael horowitz. that's a stadium of lawmakers in front of him. it was row after after row. this will go for some time. >> sandra: christopher wray is not in the room. he was in the room yesterday. today the witness is the i.g. michael horowitz. but as you mentioned, 74 members of both committees combined. >> bill: as you look at this, you have to look to trey gowdy and you have to look to bob goodlatte. because they have been knee deep in this investigation for a year and a half. jason upwards of two years. i think their line of questioning is something you should have a keen interest in today to figure out where these house members are going now. >> well, they -- this is their golden opportunity to go and look under the hood. remember, this is the first investigation. there is still another investigation into fisa abuse, the russia -- was there wrongdoing in russia? they will try to ask questions on

speaker ryan come out and agree with trey gowdy that the fbi was spies in the campaign and ere trey was c and now speaker ryan stood up, i give him credit for that. and that is important because w people understand this, is an attempt to chip away at the credibility of fbi and the department of justice and because if they ultimately come out with a finding that is not to the president's liking, the president is not to ever contest that in court. there is real legitimate quon before whether he could be dragged into court and le say what he's been saying all along investigation and so a lot of my constituents and americans people in connecticut say whe will republicans stand up for the fbi d the department of justice and a country that observed the rule of law and believed the president of the states is not above the law. so speaker ryan's goincredit, a step in the right direction. >> let me get your reaction to the new claim from the president's new personal attorney rudy giuliani regarding this whole mueller investigation. listen to this. >> they are a group of 13 highly partisan democr

why was it necessary if what trey gowdy says is true? i'm not saying anything he says is not true, but i'm saying in terms of how he's emphasizing this. why did they need to dummy up the fisa application? if they had a bunch of stuff to make them suspicious about trump campaign and the fbi, why did they use the dossier which was all bogus, 50% of it wasn't corroborated and we know the litany of facts of it paid for by steele and people in the clinton campaign, they would go out of their way, if they were neutral, go out of the way not to present that to the court. if they did present it to the court, they would disclose to the court that steele had been fired as an informant by the fbi, that it was funded as opposition research by the clinton campaign and would have made all those connections, but they didn't. you have to wonder why? why did they lie about the redactive material? why did they play hide the ball? why did they leak? something makes this not right, that what's makes this suspicious. there is a bunch that is still wrong, not

the big story to me as always when to be trey gowdy's ever-changing hair. like martin landau in mission impossible. he's got to go somewhere. he is a russian agent. >> dana: say cia or something. >> greg: i think he works for the russians. >> donna: national man of mystery. i think the beard is very becoming. politics sometimes is not so becoming. i actually did watch. it's better than watching soap operas in the middle of the day. the reason why i watched it is because underneath all the partisan rhetoric about that, we learned that once again we have an agency that has some dysfunction. whether you focus on those emails, texts, disgusting. i'm a former federal employee. disgusting. let's say. it's disgusting. whether you're saying those things about mr. trump or saying those things about mrs. clinton. they are not hired to text each other about their personal dislike of a particular candidate. that being said, the office of professional responsibility must now do their job and remove those who are still in the employ of the federal government. beyond that

>> well, the bottom line is trey gowdy is not acting in the interest of people.trying to create, manufacturing controversy that doesn't exist. they have been given every document they've asked for, what they want is some kind that can't happen because the oig, eryone that's looked at this said that there's nothing there. so this is an ongoing effort to create some type of hysteria against hillary clinton. she's not the president, the president is donald trump and she's being investigated by the department of justice for the crimes that he's potentially committed. so we need to let those investigations go forward. heat -- >> not the side show that there's something going around hillary clinton. heather: chris, final word. trey gowdy said himself that they don't want drama, they want things done and get results, this is what this is about getting results. if everyone would cooperate and work together we wouldn't have hysteria going on today? heather: very good point. chris, mustafa, appreciate it. we will see what happens. we will be right back. stay with us ahh...

but let me just remind you, trey gowdy oversaw the benghazi investigation, and you can just use your google to go back and look at clips of trey gowdy and other republicans who had a presumption of guilt about hillary clinton. they said that not only was she mishandling the security of the personnel there, they -- that hillary clinton issued a stand-down order so that americans who are under attack by terrorists were killed because they did not receive the proper help. and he also during that same time even during the current investigation, president trump and the rnc have been sending out a fund-raising appeal because of what they say is a witch-hunt. so, look, i think we know what happens during these hearings, but it is kind of -- to watch members of congress to say the things they say. >> i do want to drill down, i want to drill down. josh, help me out on this one. what jim jordan and rod rosenstein were going back and forth about. this gets to -- there are many elements of this, right? it all kind of centers around the russia investigation, the origins of it, and that's what thi

we have trey gowdy summing it up very well. "i'm alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed by the inspector general's findings of numerous failures by the doj and fbi in investigating potential espionage act violations by the former secretary of state

maybe you should talk to trey gowdy, who apparently saw the documents and got the briefing.f no collusion, no collusion is also false. we know for example about george papadopoulos reaching out to a russian source to get dirt on hilly. we know about the trump tower meeting in june of 2016 which they're promised dirt on hillary and they a foreign power information, something of value to help you win an election, yes, we have evidence of that already. the question is how extensive it was and who all was involved in it. >> jennifer just laid out all the points, neera. why is paul ryan, somebody who is retiring in january -- why would he stake his reputation going out and saying something like there's been no evidence whatever of any collusion. nothing to see here. what's going on with paul ryan in. >> i think what the polling show and "the wall street journal" poll shows paul ryan is between a rock and a hard place. obviously that rock is donald trump, and the stranglehold he has on republican base voters, who paul ryan and the rest of the republican party are desperate to ensu

we heard that from trey gowdy a few months ago. we heard more recently from trey gowdy, in terms of this unsubstantiated spy gate the president has been pushing. and the president is choosing not to take trey gowdy's council here. you don't see many represents on the house side. sticking up for trey gowdy's line of argument here. when you talk about the president we've seen has tried to 34uddy the waters on this investigation for ag time we're seeing that have an impact on republicans in terms of the electorate. we're seeing republican candidates running for office. and echoing the way in which he describes this investigation as a witch hunt. what the president is doing is having an impact so far. >> thank you very much. and also to mark and michael, stay with me here, again, we're watching and waiting for this white house briefing to happen. we'll take it live, in the meantime, coming up, don't call it a summit, what the president is saying about his upcoming meeting with kim jong-un in a couple days in singapore. >>> why bill cli

trey as in traitor gowdy has seen no evidence of a spy in the trump campaign. ying a game of semantics and parsing words and it will be a terrific end of the year when trey and ryan are gone. a spy is a secret or undercover agent. that's what this guy was. working for the fbi. deployed to insinuate himself into the campaign. if that ain't spying, i don't know what is. >> can we take a look at the quick survey of some headline elements of evidence of the spy in the trump campaign? a cambridge professor out as an fbi spy. meeting with campaign advisor carter page, sam clovis. the strzok-page text referring to oco nurks s lures. that's spies not in the continental united states. comey's house testimony confirming the existence of a classified investigation. former national intelligence director james clapper admitting the fbi ran an informant on the campaign officials and it was quite a common occurrence. the obama justice department and the fbi used the steele dossier paid for by the democratic national committee and the clinton campaign. that piece of fiction use

trey gowdy was right. of course, many democrats are perfectly fine with doj obstruction.heir friends in the deep state have a lot to hide. meanwhile, as robert mueller's witch hunt is producing literally zero evidence that the president did anything wrong, the people on the left are now predictably beginning to unravel. f their favorite new target, the u.s. immigration and customs enforcement agency, it's doing the job that congress passed, their laws. throughout the week, hundreds of left-wingin protesters, they "occupied" fisa offices across multiple cities, forcing some to temporarily close their doors on these demonstrators blocked interventions, obstructed i.c.e. employees, attempted to tamp out in front of the building, "the hill" reported many protesters celebrated the news that their occupation actually prompted delays and some operations at the center. "this may result in some immigrants being attained for weeks longer than expected." great job. this all culminated in washington, d.c., where 575 people were arrested after literally storming the center building. m

trey gowdy talked about this "finish the hell up." whitewater lasted seven years, watergate lasted several years and benghazi lasted a few years. i don't think this has gone on long enough, frankly. >> they want to talk about the clinton e-mail investigation where the republicans do have legitimate concerns about some of the fbi agents, particularly peter strzok who was on the clinton investigation and went over for a short time to the mueller investigation. trump bias in the texts. he said the fbi said it didn't affect his work. but they have a legitimate issue but they seem to be taking that into some much grander conspiracy theory, essentially saying the deputy attorney jena pointed by donald trump and now the new fbi director appointed by donald trump, part of this somehow nefarious justice department who gave them their jobs. >> it is literally their job to oversee this and it's absolutely essential that elected officials oversee appointed officials, especially law enforcement who has the force of law, the force of imprisonment a

having said that, trey gowdy is leaving congress.is a straight shooter and this means that there should be some credence to what he says, no? >> well, what he's doing is what the president has been doing for a while now, which is seeking to cast out the investigation. so the president has been, with his tweets, with his public comments, trying to undermine the investigation, you know, create suspicion around any findings that come out, and he sees that it's working. and so they're continuing to do that. so i think this is part of that effort. >> has trey gowdy jumped on that bandwagon, or is there a legitimate need for congress to see these documents about what went down in these investigations, or in particular, russia? >> i think it can be both. i think there is a sense. even jim comey in an op-ed said he welcomed this look and investigation into the fbi and what they have done. i think there is some legitimate oversight. but i also think katherine is right. there is a concerted effort led in the white house by members of congress

i understand trey gowdy's frustration.t is donald trump's obsession with the investigation, he is tweeting constantly about it. trey gowdy wants to get beyond it for the country and the party, but he needs to be a student of history. there's just not evidence that this is going on anywhere near as long as some of the other investigations that are well known in our history. >> so hard to be patient. everybody wants answers immediately, especially in this day and age with the news cycle. thank you for breaking it down for us. >>> up next, the senators that could determine the fate of president trump's supreme court nominee. two republican women likely to play a pivotal role as the final videos happens. and what's being done to win them over. is this at&t innovations? yeah, wow... this must be for one of our new unlimited wireless plans. it comes with a ton of entertainment options. great, can you sign for this? yeah. hey, uh... what's in that one? that's a shark. new and only with at&t, you can get unlimited data, 30 plus ch

>> i agree with chairman goodlatte and trey gowdy. look, it's hard to believe if bias didn't affect the clinton investigation, many of the same people including peter strzok and lisa page, hard to believe the same thing didn't occur there. i'm not confident they're going to find the, quote, smoking gun, that was not the mandate in the i.g. report for the clinton e-mail investigation. remember what an i.g. report is, to essentially protect the government. liz: well, the i.g. is revealing that the i.g. is looking into james comey for potentially leaking classified info when he set up the media leak of memos he wrote about his talks with president trump. watch this, here's something interesting for you, ford. congressman trey gowdy saying james comey acted differently under president obama than president trump. let's watch. >> when he lost confidence in the trump justice department, he memorialized private conversations, leaked them and admitted he did so to spur the appointment of special counsel because he didn't trust the career prose

but the issue the democrats has is trey gowdy was part of the briefing. what are they upset about?t seems like everyone is moving chess pieces just because they feel like they should be playing a game. >> marie: right. >> kennedy: it's really obnoxious. i agree with you completely but i also agree for the future administration regardless of party. let's get used to releasing information. let's get used to transparency in this government. not just to protect the president or to protect our chances in the midterms but to protect the rule of law and civil liberties here. those are violated when you have an opaque government. and when you have a gross abuse of power, or whether it's political or otherwise. we need to see that thrown open immediately so we -- you know what happens? we abstract and you keep some things secret but you show some others with redactions. it just keeps this broken system in place. you know for future generations of lawmakers, makes it okay for them to use these great tools for their own needs. >> abby: speaker, where does this end? we have a minute here. you

and we'll take up why speaker ryan's support of trey gowdy and his attack on the president couldn't have been more poorly timed >>> our top story tonight, president trump enters a pivotal and historic period of his presidency as he projects his foreign policy vision on friends and foes alike. huddling with shinzo abe with whom he's devel lopped a close bond. president trump leaving no doubt that denuclearization is at the stotopof his agenda. but today he took time to highlight one of japan's principle concerns, the fate of 12 japanese citizens kidnapped by north korea, some who have been missing since the 1970s. >> i can speak first because i will tell you on the prime minister's behalf that he very much talked about abduction. it was pre-eminent in our conversations. he talked about it long and hard and passionately. lou: before the president can get to kim jong-un he has to deal with the recalls trait globalist g-7. those leaders await him this weekend in quebec with demands for open borders and parasitic trade arguments they've enjoyed fb decades. today the heads of two of the smalle

. >> do you agree with trey gowdy? >> normal my i don't like to comment on classified briefings. let me say it this way. i think chairman gowdy's initial assessment is accurate. but we have more digging to do. we have more documents to review. we still have someone someone to answer questions. >> he wasn't alone. what's going on? >> i think what's going on is you have a number of republicans private live uncomfortable with how donald trump and allies are hamming law enforcement and the fbi and making specious claims that there is no evidence of, as you heard paul ryan say. however, it's really important to know two things. one, people who are saying it are primarily people leaving. >> ryan, gowdy. >> these are people who are not going to be around next year. retirement sets you free apparently. but retirement only sets you free to a point. rudy was much more specific in terms of being critical of the president. gowdy and ryan were not saying this has to stop, this is a problem, this cannot continue. this is undermining our institutions. they say he's inaccurate. i disagree with hi

trey gowdy has done good things and difficult things.ing get the damn thing over with when benghazi took two and a half years. it is situational ethics. it shows that is not what this is about. >> it seems that it is systematically debunked, a lot of the charges you heard. or at least tried to debunk them. this has gone on too long. rod rosenstein basically said it will go on as long as it has to. the idea that perhaps he has a conflict of interest, rod rosenstein said, believe me, if i could, i would. i would like nothing more than to not be doing this. and the idea that he is hiding something from congressional investigators. he said i'm not the one redacting here. we have given you thousands and thousands of documents. this is the way it works. >> rod rosenstein did take the gloves off and calmly kept shooting down each of these points. they are saying this is more about you than mueller. you have proven to be hiding things from us. we are focusing on you in this one. he kept point by point shooting all the allegations down. it is not

president tweeting, highest level of bias i have ever witnessed in any law enforcement officer, trey gowdypeter strzok, they all worked for slippery james comey and comey is best friends with robert mueller, a real sick deal, isn't it, peter strzok is indicating that he would app attorney suing thi statement. peter strzok thinks position, character and inactions have been misrepresented and he wants an opportunity to remedy that but it's not a done deal, it's how house judiciary committee bob goodlatt says he will subpoena peter strzok if he won't voluntarily and messages concerns even democrats like adam schiff,. >> certainly the text messages are troubling, they were on work e-mail, commingled discussing business, all of that is problem -- problematic. losing patience.y says he is >> there's going to be action on the floor of the house if fbi and doj does not comply with request, we are going get compliance or the house of representatives is going to use its full arsenal of constitution weapons to gain compliance. griff: horowitz today and tomorrow we will see if peter strzok shows up. j
