, and then instructing weissmann, you hire the team of 19 partisan lawyers, which weissmann did. >> jasonve great respect for mr. mueller, but for him to pick the people that he picked, i've got to tell you, i still have an ongoing question about that. sara, gregg, thank you for joining us tonight at coming up next on this "hannity" special, rush limbaugh has a message for joe biden: it's over. we have the tape and reaction from sean spicer, austan goolsbee, charlie hurt's. stay with. control your blood sugar around the clock. and with a $0 copay, ♪ let's groove tonight. that's something to groove about. toujeo is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. get medical help right away if you have a serious allergic reaction such as body rash, or trouble breathing. don't reuse needles, or share insulin pens. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be life-threatening. i

the answer, if mueller is honest, is the day i hireded andrew weissmann, because andrew weissmann, sean, was briefed a year earlier, 2016, on -- >> sean: 2016. his pitbull, number one guy -- >> yes! >> sean: by the way, he was that hillary's victory party. also "license to lie," sidney powell's huge book, exposing all of his corruption, there for the world to read, and i urge people to read it. geraldo, after the nine and a half minute -- well, robert mueller statement, that then attorney general barr anden the special counsel's office had to clean up badly, and i think frankly, the attorney generalhe threw mueller a lifeline, because didn't remember what he said, or he didn't write it, ore he doesn't know, which is even worse. why do i suspect this is notot going to go well for him at all? >> it isn't. we are going back down memory lane. nadler and schiff remind me of high school athletes, they graduated from high school, and now nobody recognizes them. they are offended that they are outside the mainstream of public consciousness now. nobody knows who they are or what they are doing.

andrew weissmann, that is the pitbull as labeled by "the new york times" of mueller. actually attended the 2016 election night victory party for hillary. he's also a partisan democratic donor. his track record, horrific. sidney powell's book just is a brutal takedown detailing weissmann and his notorious withholding of information, he sent merrill executives to prison for a year, he got overturned 9-0. what an achievement by the supreme court. thousands of accounting employees lost their jobs because of weissmann and tonight we can report that his biggest critic sidney powell has now been hired to represent tenant general michael flynn, that'sit the legal team responsible for his guilty plea. powell 16 months ago blasted the witch hunt he's now taking over. no word if he plans to withdraw. a change of course looksed imminent, he said 16 months ago he should withdraw that plea, i agree especially in light of what the government did to a 33 year retired general, a war hero who served this country with honor and distinction. what they did is disgraceful. remember, flynn

andrew weissmann is not among the worst of them.famous for his abusive tactics as a lawyer, earning reversals and rebukes by judges. this is a guy who conceals evidence, suppresses documents, threatens witnesses, and we don't do anything about it. he is exactly the kind of prosecutor that should never be allowed in a court of law. now, i've got a real problem with people who have such high security clearances. people like brennan and klapper and wiseman and call me and mccabe. these are all people at the highest echelons with the highest security clearance and then, they think they can go on television and start talking about the stuff and writing books. >> this is what i don't understand and what the american people don't understand. brennan was supposed to have his security clearance revoked. we've heard that he still has his security clearance despite the fact that president trump ordered his security clearance revoked. what we know is there has been a lot of slow walking in the bureaucracy, and he goes on television and makes mo

weissmann putting pressure on its partners in its nuclear deals to corresponding ellison barber fromeast newsroom reports on where things stand right now. >> of the remaining signatories of the weissmann nuclear deal meet in vienna today. delegates from france, britain, russia, and china getting weissmann to stick to the deal despite the u.s.'s withdrawal of a last chance meeting after the ford deputy leader told them it was a step forward but not enough. >> it still not meeting iran's expectations. obviously for tehran to take. >> iran is producing enriched uranium at roughly 1 kilogram a day. they'd have not hit the limit in the nuclear deal but they could in the coming days. iran's main demand is to sell the oil as it did before the u.s. left the nuclear deal. president trump put sanctions that prevent them from selling it. >> we are also putting ourselves in a position where if we are attacked by iran, we can respond with military force. that is only if. >> the u.s. envoy to iran is not the only one mentioning war. >> the every imposed sanctions, they added new sanctions. now we

make no mistake, this probably has andrew weissmann's fingerprints all over it, his pit bull mueller. he made a career out of withholding exculpatory president, the same one at hillary's victory party in november, 2016. two of his most high profile cases were overturned because of his prosecutorial misconduct. four innocent merrill-lynch executives who spent a year in prison because of him and that was overturned. thousands of andersen accounting americans losing their jobs because of weissmann losing 9-0 in the supreme court. it's close to crystal clear the hillary-loving bureaucrat played a central role in the mueller investigation. devin nunes, formerly the chair, of the house intel committee, now the ranking member, is calling the report a total fraud. and former fbi official kevin brock wrote that the government behaved like a bully. i guarantee today's discovery is only the tip of the iceberg. that's not stopping the outright delusion inside of the radical extreme new democratic socialist party. they don't care about the truthd their political blood lust is that strong. congress

but when we discovered that andrew weissmann had been briefed by bruce ohr. andrew weissmann one of mueller's top prosecutors and going back to december 2016, i think a lot of people want to know, wait a second why exactly was he put on that special counsel team if he was in touch with bruce ohr that early? is that of a legitimate line of inquiry in your view, the makeup of the prosecution team? look, if we have them up there testify let's get the information about that team. >> mark: it is a legitimate question. i think the bigger problem we see, andrew weissmann was very much aware of all the improper protocols that were broken. not just with bruce ohr but the way bruce ohr was sharing with joe bianca, working together to try spin this, and guess who was involved in all of that peter strzok. he was right there coaching saying, let's get this covered up. let's make sure that it doesn't come out. i can tell you that alan dershowitz is very correct. we have to protect the civil liberties. whether republican or democrat or in between, we have to protect those.

over again which i believe is double jeopardy and i've always known that mueller and his team of weissmann the pitbull and gd ray the former clinton attorney were bad people -- the black cash ledger which these other news networks was full of a lot of -- the feds were warned repeatedly the document could be trusted and likely was a fake. ukraine's top prosecutor says the document was not authenticated, should not be used in any way to break accusations against anybody, do you hear a peel in your ear? manafort received cash payments by all accounts are totally false. we'll have more of my monologue coming up, president trump is coming up right after but joining us with this breaking news, he is the vice president of the hill, investigative reporter john solomon, this is a big story. >> second piece of evidence we now know that the fbi used to justify the early trump investigation for which they were warned early on the information was likely suspect and perhaps fake. this black ledger turned up in ukraine in 2016 and a very early on the fbi was repeatedly warned that the information didn't

but many of these people, they gave to clinton's campaign, one or two of them were at including weissmann were at the event which turned out to be her wake -- it was a funeral. it was supposed to be a party at the convention center in new york. >> sean: he was at the victory party. >> president trump: i saw the same scene as you did to. bob mueller was great friends with comey, right there there's a conflict. and we had a business dispute. i told you a long time ago, how could he be doing this? despite that, let him do it. i had nothing to do -- they know that, i had nothing to do with russia, i love our country. by doing this, i've sacrificed a lot. i had a simple life, a great company, everything was great. i've made a tremendous difference. so many people come up to me and they say thank you for saving our country. and i used to take it with a grain of salt but they said and they mean it. the other day i was the commencement speaker at the air force academy, incredible young people and i handed out a thousand diplomas to the senior class there it is a lot of shaking hands and saluting

>> well, i think getting out of the weissmann nuclear was the right thing and iran is lashing out right now. the president did not make a process so i don't think it's backing away from a promise, per se, i think there has to be a cost to the iranians. if you shoot down a plane that could have had people on it, they may have misinterpreted and mislabel this, the size of an airliner and $260 million, there's got to be a cost to you. going forward if they think the president is going to do the same thing, if they should anything else down, i think he's going to and the pressure is going to be on him so much that there would be a response that laws that with actually pale in comparison. >> ed: interesting. last question. what about this president moving forward in the fact that he drew out there today the idea of the potential for more sanctions against iran? it seems as you say iran is lashing out because the maximum pressure campaign the president has been pushing is actually working? >> that's true. areas that there are opportunities for more sanctions we should do, we should label it a

and the trump's administration in weissmann defending the u.s. pressure campaigns on iran. >> our diplomacy does not gives me 22 the right to respond with military force and iran needs to be diplomacy with diplomacy and that military force. >> last may, the trump administration withdrew from the nuclear agreement, iran says it's within a week away from violating the deals uranium stockpile limits. pelosi it would make sense for the president to know the consequences of his options before deciding to move forward. other democrats say they >> he should not be saying this stuff publicly because it would be a level of the decision that i do not think helpful. >> i think there has to be a reaction and whether that is militarily or anything else, i will look at what that is if it happens. >> the federal aviation ministry shannon? >> shannon: rich edson at the white house, thank you very much. let's get analysis from retired four-star general jack keane. >> glad to be here, shannon. >> martha: what happens next? speak of the first thing that's going to

i could not, for the life of me, understand, how to see how hire andrew weissmann, the worst record of any lawyer i've ever seen, people like jeannie rhee, who was once clinton's lawyer on the clinton foundation, and you gave written answers, you even let your white house counsel donald mcgahn testify for 30 hours. i was a little shocked, to be honest. why would you allow that? >> president trump: i let out i everybody testify. i wanted them to be totally open because i knew there was nothing there. there was nothing there. nothing at all. but you know, bob mueller was conflicted because he wanted to be the head of the fbi, the director, again, he was already there for ten or 12 years. but he wanted to be, and i didn't allow that. i said no. i said it respectfully. weid had a witness dispute in te private life when he was out of thee fbi, we had a commercial business dispute. having bridges disputes with somebody, and then he supposed o be ruling with you, but it was a business dispute. it was a nasty little dispute, not the biggest one i've ever been in, to be honest with you, but we

why would you ever hire a guy like andrew weissmann who got execs fired and lost the supreme court 9-0 and had 4 maryland officials put in jail and that was overturned. by the fifth circuit court of appeals? why appoint weissman known for atrocious conduct. attended hillary clinton's actually victory party on election night. it didn't work out well. the pattern is clear. what we see now time and time again, the special counsel manipulates information about the president of the united states. and by the way, if mueller had time for violations why didn't he have time for the and so forth, dirty russian dossier that hillary clinton paid for that was used to influence the american people? no excuse for that. no collusion, no obstruction on the trump campaign's part. no conspiracy. the trump haters reverted to plan-b. that is a 448 page smear campaign. they created a document intended to fuel even more lies and conspiracy theories from democrats and their allies in the biassed and corrupt media mob. it was a political hit job from the beginning through and through. j j the president was ri

i mean, weissmann, his pitbull as they call him, he knew in 2016 that the dossier h had serious issuesid mueller find that out? >> within months of his appointment. may 17, 2016.. in fact, john dowd, the president's lawyer, places it around november/december of 2017. and there was a meeting on march 5, 2018. a full year before the report comes out. in which, according to dowd, mueller admits that the president has no criminal exposure over collusion. so mr. mueller, why didn't you issue an interim report? isn't it true that you wanted to keep this going to influence unduly the 2018 interim elections? so that democrats could take over the house? and i think that is a legitimate question to ask. also, you know, mueller interviewed with the president the day before he took the job as special counsel, sitting in the oval office. isn't it true, mr. mueller, that you and the president actually discussed the reason that comey was fired, which makes you a witness in our own case on the obstruction investigation? >> dan: sara, a quick last work word from you. she meets with the dossier, the guy

that was withdrawing us from the weissmann agreement. best agreement we had for the country not to develop a capacity of a nuclear weapon. as all the intelligence agencies said, iran agreed to abide by the terms of the agreement, this president haphazardly threw it out the window. that makes the situation in iran less stable, more likely we'll get into conflict which i don't believe in. and it sends a signal to the rest of the world, including places like north korea, that even if we engage in the phonetic efforts and move towards some sort of agreement that would keep them from developing further than nuclear capacity, we are going to honor it. >> shannon: what would you do on today, the tankers on fire, evacuating people, a military expedition to evacuate these people, what are you going to do in this moment to fix the situation to solve it? >> julian: number one, we always have to make sure that our folks are safe, they have what they need, going to support them over there. secondly, we need to engage our allies and put pressure on ir

saw carter page describe what he thought were omissions miles an hour characterization the bulldog weissmann toll her, i had nothing to do with any i told no one about e-mails so that is why when you see transcripts that was the point i want to get to this part or before i get off the dripts are going to completely exonerate me show not only was i telling informants i had nothing to do with russians informants telling me i thought was treason you are going to see transcripts with me using the word " treason" a lot donald trump and myself in campaign had nothing to do with whatever people mentioned -- >> that is exculpatory evidence not prepared to fiesa court. >> correct cherry picking likely they are likely going to see a conspiracy case on the other sighed. >> george papadopoulos joining us, hedge fund investors bill ackman speaking out against merger sitting at will dilute their shares. >> team usa a big win criticized for having too much gusto we are live in france when we come back. ♪ let me ask you something. can the past help you write the future? can you feel calm in the eye of a sto

wiseman --e weissmann trying to get a compromise.ra: still with us is ralf from merrill lynch and peter from rbc. when one of the more perceived hawks out there makes comments like that, does that give you reassurance in the ecb will actually deliver on what mario draghi talks about? ralf: no. [laughter] i think the two are completely independent of each other. it gives the reassurance that it is a sign he wants the job. otherwise, i'm -- it does not give me assurance at all. the ecb has a difficult task ahead because it is not obvious that any of the tools would do much. what is the point of cutting rates when euro-dollar is at 1.12? e when the point of qe the french tenure is zero and spanish is at 50 basis points. i think the intellectually thest thing to do would be realizations, as opposed to forecasts. but the market is not pricing in anything from the ecb for a few years. the problems the ecb has is not that there are not policy options, it is convincing anyone that these options would change the macro outlook. nejra: that sai
