before we do, you've got to understand who is andrew weissmann.ox news legal analyst gregg jarrett has dug deep into his background.ck here's what he has found. back in 2,000, during the massive enron scandal, weissmann was one of the prosecutors on the tax force that brought a very controversial obstruction of justice case against the giant accounting firm, arthur andersen. this is important. weissmann's actions put the company out of business. tens of thousands of people lost their jobs. in 2005, the united states supreme court overturned weissmann's obstruction of justice conviction in a unanimous 9-0, nearly unprecedented ruling. but it was too late. he had already inflicted maximum damage to so many people. arthur anderson was not the only victim of his aggressive tactics. the business transaction between enron and merrill lynch sent people to jail. guess what? they were innocent. that decision was reversed by the fifth circuit u.s. circuit court of appeals. weissmann has also been accused of intimidating witnesses, making of crimes they don'

weissmann? guess what? he is a legal tyrant. he has been accuse of doing just about anything to secure a conviction. does he not care about equal justice under the law. he has been accused of intimidating witnesses. making up crimes that do not even exist. and even withholding evidence that would have been exculpatory and help the defense in one case. and weissmann is also directly tied to that corrupt uranium one deal. an obama administration's attempt to hide it from you, the american people. weissmann? guess what? he was in charge of the doj's fraud section during the russian bribery scheme. gregg jarrett pointed out weissmann's signature look there at the bottom of the plea deal at the center of that case. also tonight breaking information about the trump-hating, hillary-loving fbi agent peter struk. he is the guy fired from mueller's team political bias towards president trump. another one of the dream team of robert mueller. the doj is reviewing 10,000 text messages that strzok said to his fbi officia

weissmann is a legal nightmare.e happen to know that weissmann has deep and close ties to both mueller and the disgraced former fbi james comey. he has worked closely with both of them for years, and he has t donated over $4,000 to democrats, like barack obama. so there is no way that he had any political bias, i'm sure, right? well, this is the part that is deeplyss disturbing. when weissmann was a top prosecutor, remember, the enron task force? he secured a highly controversial obstruction of justice case against american accounting giant arthur andersen.it it destroyed that company. they put tens of thousands of people out of work. it drove that company out of business. in 2005, the u.s. supreme court overturned weissmann's conviction in an almost unprecedented 9-0 unanimous ruling. they excoriated him for his behavior. and that is not the only example ofof weissmann's hard charging, overly aggressive tactics. as part of the enron investigation, weissmann sent four merrill lynch executives to jail for as long as

and begin with andrew weissmann, why?ecause weissmann has very close ties with a lawyer he hired at the department of justice who sent out anti-trump tweets and retweets and who was there at an anti-trump protest. did weissmann send such emails to chan? that needs to be looked into. >> sean: let me ask about this obvious agenda-driven team. victoria, how could any of those hold up in exoneration before an investigation? anti-trump, pro-hillary. he's involved in all of it. tell me how any judge would say this is admissible in any way. >> it's not going to be. let me add something to the andrew weissmann scenario. that is, remember i told you about the fraud section lawyers who threatened to prosecute my client, mr. campbell, if he didn't withdraw his civil case? >> sean: yes. >> guess who they reported to? andrew weissmann. >> sean: [laughs] i would like to know -- by the way, i'm hearing rumors all over the place, sara carter. there were other anti-trump texts, emails out there and we know about them. >> i think you are h

all of my deepest respect, andrew weissmann. isn't that sweet? so naturally when the time came to choose his deputy, special counsel mueller chose wiseman, who was also his former partner at the law firm wilmer cutler. think about it. weissmann chosen to be the number two guy on an investigation that could lead to the impeachment of the president of the united states given those statements. when he was on the record the liberating dates. if she was an instant hero of the left because she refused to enforce that same president's lawful executive order. my friends, we are talking willful defiance of the chief executive officer of the united states. pahrump is their boss. it is simple, folks. weissmann must be removed from the mueller team because of the apparent and real conflict of interest his presence represents. and finally, our exclusive report on yet another mueller prosecutor who is compromised. this time because of her alliances to the obama white house. meet jeannie. she was hired by mueller in early june and also a part of weissmann and a

then there is his top prosecutor, yep, his guy, andrew weissmann.e oversaw that highly controversial obstruction of justice case, remember, arthur andersen, the accounting firm, enron, it destroyed the company. they were put out of business. tens of thousands of people lost jobs. 2005, the supreme court will return to weissmann's conviction 9-0, a unanimous ruling. as part of the enron investigation, weissmann's and four merrill lynch investigatior jail. that was also overturned by the fifth u.s. circuit of appeals. weissmannrn has been accused of doing anything to secure a conviction. withholding exculpatory evidence and intimidating witnesses, just among the few charges. lastly, judicial watch released an email where weissmann told the former acting attorney general, sally yates, how proud he was her after yates divided direct order from her boss, the president of the united states, and refused to defend the travel ban. "the wall street journal" is reporting that weissmann attended hillary clinton's election night party. wow. finally, there is the

andrew weissmann.irst of all, i don't like special counsel investigations or specialal prosecutors or independent counsel or any of the lot. i think it is always and everywhere a terrible idea because it sets up what amounts to an unaccountable unit using the justice department resources, but really, as a practical matter, outside the justice department's, andic it creates a situation in which a prosecutor appointed to do an investigation feels that he is called upon or she is called upon to prosecute. so it creates i think a bias in favor of action even where none may be warranted and there has only been a handful of the special prosecutors who have backed off and said nothing to see here. i think that is a problem. now you enter into a possibility that important figures within the investigation may be harboring serious bias against the subject of the investigation, and i think you have a problem that is made even worse. this weissmann thing particularly bothers me. after all, what was at stake here,

have you weissmann, the number two, praising people for defying orders from the president of the united states and then peter strzok, the very person who may have dressed this up dossier as an intelligence document going from the clinton scandal to the trump

and the key player here is this guy, andrew weissmann. he was senor justice department official. yesterday to join robert mueller's probe that began in may. in any event weissmann writes to yates and writes to her under the subject line, i am so proud, he continues in the body of the text, and in awe, thank you so much. all my deepest respects. after that yates forwarded the email to her personal account. on its face, weissmann the very least praising yates for defying the president's wishes. i don't think we can read more than that into this about his realpolitiks. whether that is in any way influenced the special counsel probe but it comes the same week that another fbi or separate fbi official we learned was fired last summer because of these anti-trump texts. melissa: yeah, i mean then there is the agent like you mentioned, one reassigned after sending anti-trump texts to someone reportedly his mistress. what are we learning about this story now? reporter: this fbi senior agent, peter strzok, he is really at all the key points of the

thank you so much in all my deepest respects andrew weissmann.ly yates refused to implement the travel ban there was now special counsel at this point. thank you to the judicial watch for fighting to get these records out. this is why we know about this email. >> he writes this email basically saying how proud i am of you resisting the president. this is the be special counsel. leads to you believe can president trump even remotely get a fair shake? >> i don't know. that's the question. you want to believe the fbi can be objective. have you two individuals sending emails and text messages behind the scenes to people within the fbi and part of this investigation and they are saying how much they like hillary clinton. how much they hate the president. and they are investigating him it just looks fishy. pete: we all know anyone in government especially the fbi you have a political perspective because ultimately you live in arrested would of politics. can you strip it aside? and we are starting to learn more and more that the deep state has its clutc

remember earlier this week weissmann emailed then acting attorney general sally yates. writing i'm in so proud and in awe thank you so much. all my deepest respects. on top of fbi agent peter strzok having to be pulled from mueller's probe because he had sent text messages to his girlfriend that were anti-trump and were cheerleading for hillary clinton. after strzok had served as lead agent in the clinton email probe and got then fbi director james comey to shift his summation from saying he was grossly negligent which hinted at crimes to the lenient extremely careless. now we learned tonight despite several media reports earlier this year suggesting attorney general jeff sessions may have been in hot water for not revealing his contacts with the russian ambassador on an important security clearance form, an fbi email marked march 7th, that date was important shows sessions was under no obligation to reveal those contacts unless he quote developed personal relationships with ambassadors from russia or anywhere else. and here's why that's important. just a few days earli

she got an email from andrew weissmann applauding her decision to not back the travel ban, andrew weissmann home is now part of the special counsel team. he said i am so proud and in awe. thank you so much, all of my deepest respects, andrew weissmann. which is fine for him to let her know how he feels except that he is now part of this investigation, jonathan. >> well, the action that she took i thought, was unwarranted. i was very critical of it. it's up precedented for acting attorney general or attorney general to order the entire agency to stand down and not assist a president. ultimately judges divided on the issue. the trump administration a major victory in the supreme court. but that doesn't mean that the people opposing the ban were acting in bad faith. it was a close question. but that actually undermines with a united states did. she told all the justice department attorneys including those that believed they had the law on their side they couldn't help the president of the united states. if you want to be apolitical you can resign if you think you are being asked to do somethin

"the wall street journal" also reported weissmann attended a hillary clinton election night party inhattan. then there is gianni another prosecutor picked by mueller to investigate trump russian matters, background, clinton donor represented the clinton foundation, and represented hillary herself in e-mail investigation, she also represented top obama fiducially in the benghazi cover up investigation, wow fair and balanced? it gets worse, obama doj holdover was demoted after it was uncovered he met secretly with foreign agent hillary paid to concoct take russian dossier met with the president of the firm hillary paid to produces doy what is going on joining me former chair of the revitalize committee, fox news contribute jason chaffetz. >> this mueller traem team looks like a nightmare now what do you think? >> there is a major -- problem within the department of justice deep state that we have been talking about, before very eyes as we see reality of how this investigation into trump and the dossier, and hillary clinton went down highly partisan people wore on shirt sleeves did not

you have this all too cozy group of guys, comey, mueller, weinstein, weissmann, excuse me. >> david:ssmann, bruce ohr. >> they worked together for years and years, something unseemly about that, because they appear to be ignoring illegality on the part of hillary clinton and to the fbi, and it seems to be determined to find wrongdoing on the part of president trump where none exists. >> david: pam, unfortunately you cannot separate the law ande politics when you get into either a state capital or a nation's capital. so even if ,as gregg says and lays out, and as you have talked about, they are dealing with the inconsistencies and the problems. there is a political aspect to this. how would that be resolved? is it possible? >> i have come to the conclusion now that this investigation into the president needs to end. every day we are finding out someone else involved inga it. as gregg said, this investigation should be beyond reproach. there are so many great men and women out there who are capable of conducting an investigation with integrity.g the fbi stands for integrity, that is th

andrew weissmann his deputy in this.eissmann is the one who emailed sally yates when she turned down the travel ban how in awe he was of her. is he a democratic donor. obama. >> tucker, that clearly does not disqualify. what you have to determine. if this person impartially set aside personal views and do. >> tucker: if this were an investigation of hillary clinton. if it were, and 90% of the lawyers that the ig hired, the independent counsel hired were republican donors and had worked for trump, you would say what is this? >> we could say robert mueller is a republican. rod rosenstein. >> tucker: rod rosenstein is a liberal democrat. >> robert mueller. i don't know whether he is a democrat or not. robert mueller is definitely republican. prosecutor are required to set aside identical views. these are men and women, professionals who subject themselves to disciplinary action. they will could lose their license. be. >> tucker: you are filibustering. >> no, no. tucker the only thing that changed robert muller is getting cl

andrew weissmann -- you can't answer the question!ng mueller to do something illegal, sean. their jobs! i've dan bongino, i will give you a shot. >> you are not allowed to ask the party affiliation of people who will work for him as career people, that's the rules. >> sean: dan bongino. >> sean, let's be clear about this. there are only two possible explanations for this sham investigation. the first, that it was put together entirely incompetently, which i do not believe because bob mueller is a very smart guy. the second, which should deeply concern you and everyone else is this isn't an investigation at all. this is an attempt to nullify an election. a that's exactly what this is. why else would a smart guy like bob mueller, if he was aiming for a nonpartisan investigation appoint such obvious ideologues? these aren't people who were hiding their stripes. we were talking about weissmann, a guy who emailed sally yates applauding her for defying the president on his governmentho email account! they weren't hiding it. i have a lot of

weissmann, will not sabotage mueller's investigation into russian collusion? their removal from the investigation? >> i'm not aware of any effort by anyone to sabotage or less even special counsel mueller's investigation. >> let me ask the question on the black be identity extremists. you indicated or we have had conversations, let me indicate to you that a report that was done august 14th, 2017, said that during the same period of this report, they found that right wing extremists were behind nearly twice as many incidents, 115, and just over a third of these incidents were foiled, than those who might be considered islamists or others. there is a black extremist identity report. again, i ask the question, would you see that that report be clarified and would you take note of the fact that the convictions dealing with violence are more for the looking for my chart, are more dealing with islamists and left wing and less for right wing? so right wing extremists are not being prosecuted, black identity extremists as declared by the fbi are, in fact, subjected to

it's quite easy to live in a four thousand people will age or an island just in the south coast of weissmann so push yourself for what you are and you don't have to play in it then you don't have to be you know you don't have to act anything because everybody knows locks after. but it's quite easy being done on any media and it's again something spec so it's quite easy to be in iceland in a time of success and iceland that's compared to one per eleven thousand in the u.k. for instance iceland has also the highest density of indoor for country in the world was made in such a massive investment into basically just a game it's not factories where. the country is investing in right. no it's the local communities that not pay for the for the facilities in every village in every town and that's nuts again good facilities and good coaching is. the two most necessary parts to produce good who plays. but what we like to think and what we have known from research is that the kids they do better in school. when they do sports. they become more healthy they do less drugs they do less alcohol when they d

so let me get this straight, weissmann, you are pit bull. elections night celebration that turned into a disaster? was he one of those guys in those videos they put out on election night of all those people at the clinton headquarters crying? is he in the background wiping tears away from his eyes when hillary lost? pete, even worse, he sends an email to sally yates the number two after she defies trump, unconstitutionally defies a lawful trump order celebrating it oh i'm in such admiration, sally. you are so wonderful. i mean, seriously, bob mueller, i mean with all due respect to his career, this was a really, really bad call. he needs to clean house. eboni: dan, griff, pete, help me out. some things are complicated and some things are very simple. i'm thinking if you work in the federal government, right or state government, for that matter, and you know a part of your job is going to have to operate in these kind of capacities. don't you think it wise to extract yourself from the politics of all of that or how about not give those type o

sometimes the bitcoin goes up by twenty or thirty percent but then again it's also falling so those weissmann are saying that mostly private investors should be really taking should be really be careful about this for the moment does your burger that's what we're hearing is a not considering to do something similar as we are seeing it right now happening in the united states a financial correspondent a friend first thank you. the basque country is one of spain's most important industrial regions and all of the impact of the financial crisis was less painful on the north of the country many young people still went to brute looking for work now the economy's picking up again companies order books are filling up the well trained employees needed to see the work are still missing. engineering company x. atar produces parts for the automotive industry and lists major car makers among its clients ninety five percent of its goods are exported prompting the company to embark on a recruitment drive for professionals with experience abroad including in germany seem not that important that the german ma

it's quite easy to live in a four thousand people will age or an island just in the south coast of weissmann so whenever it's get it gets too much i go there are new locks and when you come from a small village you you go there and everybody knows yourself for what you are and you don't have to play in it then you don't have to be you know you don't have to act anything because everybody knows you anyway so they would see through it so it's nice to do to come from a small ready to go there and relax after. after something big like when we when we want the right to go to russia. but it's quite easy because the media also knows. how things are go in we were closely with the icelandic media and i think again something special the relationship between the national team and the icelandic media they're probably closer to the national team than any media in the world. and we trust them and they trust us so it's it's again something special that we have and what makes us a team also so it's quite easy to be in iceland in a time of success there is one qualified football coach for eight hundred peopl

and weissmann attended hillary clinton's election party on election night. and a clinton donor who represented the clinton foundation and represented hillary in the email investigation and represented ben rhodes in the cover-up investigation. bruce ohr was just demoted after it was reported he met secretly with the agent hillary paid to produce the dossier. so what's going on. joining us is former congressman jason chaffetz. the mueller dream team looks like a nightmare. >> there is a major problem in the justice department deep state. as we see the reality how this investigation really went down. you had some highly partisan people who wore it on their shirt sleeves and didn't necessarily put a blindfold on in looking for justice. jesse: do you think the investigation into clinton matters is corrupt now and if so what's to be done about it? >> what you really need is devin nunes, trey gowdy is on the intel committee. they have been asking for information and personal documents for months on end. jesse: they are not cooperating with any of the congressional

look at andrew weissmann's emails. mueller hired jeanie ray who represented hillary clinton.ou: this is the taint team is a huge team. and and the justice department leadership, the fbi leadership and the special counsel there will be is no surprise left for any of our viewers. if i say tonight the taint team is the special counsel, the fbi and the justice department, they know that. the on people who don't seem to be concerned about it are those who lead the u.s. congress, the senate and would have some voice. the special counsel is suppose to be a man of integrity. gregg: i think in addition too congress doing something about it. a none profit could go to a federal judge and say dismiss mueller, suppression of evidence. lou: are you tired of the law gregg: have been doing itor 35 years, i really tir of the law lou: thanks for being with us. good nig fro new york. kennedy: robert mueller on the hot seat over accusations he wrongly obtained trump transition team emails. will the finished tax product meet the promises. a secret pentagon program tried to find out if there are f

strzok, page and andrew mccabe are being protected and andrew weissmann is going protected. don't understand why rosenstein is frozen in place and the fbi director in handling this corruption. judge jeanine: why reasons stein and christopher wray, they need to fire all of those individuals. they guys don't have a right to a job when they are accused of all these actions. and now if we had a grand jury this would be proven in a second. in november the attorney general said i will look into uranium one. whether you should look at it? everything about that is a pay-for-play. but let me ask you this. there is a sound we have of senator ron johnson who was on my colleague tucker carlsons' show a couple nights ago. >> what can you do? >> keep making these things public and hopefully public pressure will force the fbi to come clean if they want to remove the suspicion surrounding not only what happened back under hillary clinton email investigation, but what's happening under the mueller investigation. judge jeanine: tom, hopefully public pressure? what's the public going to do, co

to the mueller probe itself where you've got people like andrew weissmann who attended the hillary clinton-victory party, i should say. i mean, goodness gracious, we've got a lot of talented federal prosecutors. you'd think robert mueller wouldn't have to go find one who was at hillary clinton's election night party i. shows -- it shows that mueller was either picking people because of their bias or he simply had reckless disregard for the fact that he has assembled like the governing board of directors of the never trump movement to persecute our president. lou: peter strzok, to his credit, was removed from the special counsel's office, but put in the h.r. department, for crying out loud. apparently, deciding who would be hired at justice brought in for other prosecutorial jobs, investigators. i mean, it is an awful, awful scene that we witness now before our very eyes each day; that is, the leadership, the leadership of the justice department is a damn disaster. and it -- the president has been saying this, and now with, as he almost concludes a year as our president, we're seeing that e

andrew weissmann should never have been part of the special counsel team. peter strzok, this is only some of the text messages he sent, -- he asked me who i'd vote for. i guess kasich. it goes on. god, trump is a loathesome human. may he win. good for hillary. would he be worse president, cruz. trump, yes, i think so. this is an exchange between peter strzok, p.s. in this -- paige, mistress, lisa who's also working for the f.b.i. i mean, these people have done irreparable damage to the f.b.i. but worse than that, they have made a mockery of justice in the united states. and what really gets me, i know how upset i was in the bush administration when i saw somebody doing wrong. i didn't care if he was appointed by a republican or democrat. i didn't care that president bush had appointed a man or woman to a position. what i cared about is them being righteous and doing the right thing. and now where is my democrat friend who will stand up and say this isn't right? ershowitz, great democrat, he's done it. who would pick up the phone and say this is an outrage?

people like jeanne rhee and andrew weissmann? we can't mention them? their world warped view you can call for a president who by the way oversees the fbi to step aside because of decades old allegations but we can't call for the resignation of deputy fbi director andrew mccabe who is at the heart of this entire mess? well, isn't that nifty? it's like heads, you win. tails we lose. nice try. we have every right to report on the abuse of power within any agency in government. a principle democrats used to favor. indeed, if anyone has attacked law enforcement unfairly over the years, it's the democrats and their enablers in the media. who can forget fanning the flames in st. louis or baltimore? this is the same media who denigrated law enforcement officers for years in defense of social justifiable warriors and false narratives. >> when we equip police with all these powers and no training, that doesn't just affect one segment of the community, that impacts everybody. >> let's make that clear. the city is not burning because of protesters. the city is bur

but much more than that, you have andrew weissmann, sending notes to sally yates when she was not doinger job and going to a party for hillary clinton. you have this really disturbing news that this top doj official, his wife, was working for fusion gps on the dossier at the same time he's involved in this investigation. this is so much -- there's so much here that is problematic. particularly that we don't have any indication after a year of searching and all these investigations of any actual treasonous collusion with russia. we do have a lot of indications of some very dangerous behavior by our intelligence agencies and playing politics and working to undermine democratically elected president, both before and after the election. >> shannon: elana, we got word from ty cobb, the white house attorney, saying it looks like mueller is getting close to wrapping this up. with all of these things out there, do you think the american public will have confidence in this, whatever he does or doesn't find? >> i think it a certain point it will come down to partisan politics. eventually, republi

about this probe is, just given the fact that it's so high stakes, just to have it guy peter strzok weissmannjeanie rhee they didn't just vote for obama. but when you are someone who worked for the clinton foundation. when you represented ben rhodes as jeannie rhee did. text message how she is defying the president. you are not just a democrat you are defyin deadversary. john bolton, your thoughts on this as a former attorney and watching this from the outside. bob mueller has stellar reputation. republicans built it up and so did democrats. >> well, i think that it doesn't really matter what bob mueller's reputation is before he becomes an independent counsel. because i think the entire concept of independent counsel is so fundamentally flawed. that you inherently have investigation turning into exactly what this has turned into. i think i think deputy attorney general reserve stein, however, is the one who is not doing his job because he demonstrated to my mind utter obliviousness to this mail that is surrounding the mueller investigation. seemingly unable to look at these examples of bias

don't forget andrew weissmann, number two guy in the mueller probe, was that hillary clinton's victoryaising sally yates when she defined in order for the president. i think you're good to hear from the left these different excuses and circumstances why donald trump shouldn't be president. the reality is he is our president and we should be working together. >> bret: congressman, we appreciate your time. we promise we are going to cover all elements of these investigations. next up, the all-star panel on the alabama special senate election tonight. no matter how the markets change... at t. rowe price... our disciplined approach remains. global markets may be uncertain... but you can feel confident in our investment experience around the world. call us or your advisor... t. rowe price. invest with confidence. yea, s#stuffynoset this cold #nosleep i got it... #mouthbreather yep, we've got a mouth breather. well just put on a breathe right strip and... pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone so you can breathe... ...and sleep. go to breatheright.com today

email obtained by judicial watch through federal also shows that on the night of january 13 andrew weissmann wrote to sally yates under the subject line "i'm so proud." thank you so much, my deepest respects. the disclosure follows confirmation that another investigator, peter strzok was fired from the probe after allegedly sending anti-trump texts. >> is not good for the fbi which holds itself up as a paragon of virtue where there is no political motivations and we follow the facts. >> two dozen emails provided to the special counsel and obtained by fox news show the trump transition team knew former national security advisor mike flynn was in regular contact with russian investor sergey kislyak before the inauguration. the records also suggest flynn did not disclose the full extent of his conversations about sanctions imposed by the obama administration for russia's meddling in the 26 teen election. day after "the washington post" reported flynn's phone call with kislyak, flynn's deputy advised three topics in call. from condolence to russians for the assassination of diplomat to schedulin

peter strzok to lease a page to andrew weissmann to bruce ohr.umber of members appeared to be partisan democrats. nine out of 15 of the investigators have given money to the democrats, to the clintons. no matter how partisan you are, have you ever given money to a candidate? probably not. only a tiny percentage of americans do. i have political views. i've never given a dollar to a politician. what does it mean that 9 out of 15 have given money to democratic politicians? al, you've been in washington for a long time and you kind of know how it works. you're a partisan democrat, that's fine. does it bother you at all that this investigation seems to have a lot of people close to the heart of it who are activelyis partisan? l does that shake your faith? >> not really. look, director comey left, r i think the democrats and republicans thought he should go, so if you have problems, they need to be rooted out. one of the gentlemen you mentioned, mr. strzok has been reassigned. i think he works in hr now. >> tucker: why hide? strzokid was at the center

you've got andrew weissmann. if there a cacophony of problems here. >> which is exactly why you need a second special counsel. i'm not sure that jeff sessions at the department of justice, with so many obama holdovers they are, is capable of actually conducting a fair, neutral investigation. i think there needs to be a second special counsel. there is more than enough reason and evidence to demand one. >> david: all right, carrie, before -- we don't do the constitution explained anymore t what it needs for impeachment. but we are talking about charges, potential charges, or an idea of who could be charged, and back to washington, d.c., and impeachment, and the politics of this, we are ending a year and starting a new year. this is going to change for the democrats in washington? >> as far as a special counsel, right now you already have members of congress calling for an investigation into the corruption right now in the doj, into the fbi, looking to purge the problems going on over at the fbi. so i just can't se

weissmann, goes to the hillary clinton inauguration, you're filling your investigation with people who are not looking for the truth. they're looking to take down an american president and undermine the will of the american people. this is really serious stuff. though bob mueller might be a credible good guy, he is filling his investigative team with political hacks. that comes back to mueller himself. so, by the way when we had information -- trish: should he step down? finish your thought. i will ask a question after. >> what he should first do is clean house. bring in non-partisan, non-biased investigators and prosecutors to have a fair investigation. when we asked why was peter strzok let go from the investigative team, he wouldn't tell us, stonewalling the american people. come clean, listen i had a guy who was on my team who seemed to have political agenda, so i let him go. i will tell congress an oversight committees why i'm letting him go. be forthright. stop hidings things from the american people pause it just cast as cloud over the whole investigation. i'm not one calling fo
