-- director wray.uote: director wray remains firmly committing to addressing the failures under prior leadership while maintaining the foundational principles of rigor, objectivity, accountability and ownership in fulfilling the bureau's mission to defend the constitution and protect the american people. lou, also house republicans on the judiciary and oversight committees are calling for intel committee chairman adam schiff to reelite 53 interview transcripts related to his committee's probe into alleged ties between the trump campaign and russia. part of the letter, quote: if accurate, it's disturbing especially in light of chairman schiff's cries in 2019 for transparency regarding allegation that the trump campaign colluded with russian russian -- with russia. they want those transcripts to be made available to the committee if not the entire public. we'll continue to follow fit, hugh. lou: david, thank you very much. david summit from washington. or our first guest tonight obtained a 2019 letter la

and that is christopher wray, he's got to go. christopher wray didn't tell anyone about flynn, after all of the errors we found, did nothing but apologize for the fbi. at this guy is deep in the swamp as the rest of them. and the fbi is not going to change until he's gone. >> hannity: it's sidney, let general flynn free. that needs to now happen. how long do we have to wait here? what do you expect will be coming in the next few days? about 30 seconds. >> we've been told we will be getting a lot more text messages between people at the fbi. i would expect we get the original 302 and hopefully another draft, another document that we know is completely exculpatory. because they completely made up of crimes him. he was -- >> hannity: i would say to the judge, here, your honor, with all respect. judge sullivan. please do the right thing here. this is about the rule of law and justice. and you have to see the corruption here. it's disgusting. all right, thank you both. we will continue to follow this until justice is served. also toni

your reaction to the news that christopher wray fbi director saying we will look into this?think it is long overdue. i am surprised it did not happen months ago. the fbi gained its credibility from the fact it is nonpolitical and has a bunch of procedures in place to keep the investigation away from political controversy. we have known for months that a group of individuals who apparently despise the president maliciously manipulated and diverted those procedures and control to attack the president at any cost. liz: here's the other story that is breaking, your reaction to joe biden refusing to say whether he will comply with senate subpoenas and republican probes involving biden's son hunter biden with his work in ukraine when joe biden was appointed the obama administration in ukraine. he is saying he may not comply, he did not answer whether he will comply, he said is just a diversion. and joe biden had a mistake that he made. he's saying if you don't vote for me for african-americans and you're not african-american, you are not black. he is making some missteps could ask

that is coming from fbi director christopher wray, he's working in tandem with attorney general bill barr here at the department of justice but right now as i said, arthel, there are two investigations, that criminal one in medicin minnesota with os who ultimately report to doj and the civil rights investigation here at the department of justice which officials here say is expedited. arthel. arthel: david spunt, thank you. eric. eric: arthel, minnesota is activating additional national guard troops in an effort to try to contain the riots there. this is the first time in the history of that state that the full national guard has been activated says the governor. steve harrigan live in minneapolis with the very latest at this hour there. steve. >> reporter: eric, we saw a lot of movement out in front of the strip mall, we thought perhaps there would be looting going on. instead, it's anything but that. as you can see, people are

what the president will have done is that director wray will put a flood of fbi agents both from theirield office in minneapolis, from their headquarters in washington, d.c., to interview anyone who was in that crowd, anyone in the area. attempt to interview the officers themselves, the mayor may not permit the interviews, they may have lawyers, which i suspect theyct have. look at all the forensics evidence and immediately go to the u.s. attorney in minnesota who has already assigned u.s. assistant attorneys to work with the fbi on this case and to get it in front of a grand jury as quickly as possible. that's what they are going to be doing right now and the way it happens quickly is that there are a lot of resources at it. i'm sure attorney general barr has instructed the attorneys, what director wray has done when it applies to agents. >> sean: this is important to note too. you have worked in varying forms of law enforcement. i think it's important to

that coming from fbi director chris wray who is working very closely with attorney general bill barr. also, jon, going on right now before is to it back to you, expected to be some sort of demonstration outside of the department of justice, the group online says they are peaceful, but they have some serious questions about how this investigation here at doj is being handled. we will continue to follow it, jon. jon: all right, david spunt outside of the department of justice, thank you. civil rights attorney brian claypool, owner and managing partner of claypool law firm.

i al want to bring in something from fbi director christopher wray, he just works across the street in fbi headquarters. it's internal memo obtained by fox news yesterday. it went all to all fbi staff across the country. i want to read part of it, it says the events this past week in minneapolis clearly illustrate how quickly the trust can be lost. as law enforcement we are bound by an oath to serve all members of our community with equal compassion, professionalism, dignity and respect, the american people should expect nothing less from us. that coming from fbi director chris wray who is working very closely with attorney general bill barr. also, jon, going on right now before is to it back to you, expected to be some sort of demonstration outside of the department of justice, the group online says they are peaceful, but they have some serious questions about how this investigation here at doj is being handled. we will continue to follow it, jon. jon: all right, david spunt outside of the department of justice, thank you. civil rights attorney brian claypool, owner and managing partn

christopher wray is an establishment cover.e have lost faith in the fine and they cannot be reef gained until christopher wray is gone. there is no way to make up for the damage inflicted on this war hero. i believe in the system i served in for 32 years and i can only hope the judge will understand the miscarriage of justice and he will vacate the conviction. if not america owes general michael flynn justice no matter how or who brings it on. that's my open. let me know what you think on facebook page and twitter, #judgejeanine. joining me to discuss my open, michael flynn and what's next, republican congressman from the state of florida, matt gaetz. you heard my open, what do you think? >> i completely agree. but sadly i too have lost confidence in christopher wray because he came before the house judiciary committee and told us there was nothing to worry about, that we should be entirely satisfied with the changes they made to the secret courts. the republicans have been telling the american people it wouldn't reveal a crime

director wray, give us the information that we asked for.hat's been changed by peter strzok, none other than peter strzok, let's see that original 302. and more importantly, make the agent available who was there with peter strzok when they set up general flynn. joe bianca. we'de like to talk to him. that's what we -- let us talk to the guy who was there who's a 302 was altered. that document and the individual, we like to ask them a few key questions. >>> sean: and indications, sidney powell, is reacting to all thisor information? with all duell respect, i thinke messed up on the brady law and all this new information proves that and, i'm being respectful, will he vacate what is obviously a verdict with exculpatory information withheld? >> i expect him to apply the law and that's going to mandate that the plea be withdrawn and the guilty plea vacated. it simply cannot stand. no conviction can stand on this by any means whatsoever. >> sean: okay. jim jordan, why didn't director wray release this immediately? >>ia i don't know. >> sean: why d

congressman jim jordan and trey gowdy are turning their attention now to fbi director christopher wray, and what he's done about it in the last two years all that and a lot more right here right now, on "sunday morning futures." >> and tomorrow morning, much of florida will enter phase i of a three-phase opening with the exception of three counties with the most covid-19 cases. that's miami-dade, broward and palm beach. the executive order allowing some businesses, retail stores and state parks to reopen tomorrow morning, but only at 25 % capacity. joining me right now to tell us how he's gearing up is florida governor ron desantis. governor it's good to have you this morning thanks so much for being here. >> good morning thanks for having me. maria: what will tomorrow look like, sir? >> well i think tomorrow is going to be a small step. i think it's going to be a measured step. i think it's going to be an important step for people of florida to know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we're going to follow a safe, smart step by step approach to florida's recovery. we're go

the cover-up is continuing under director wray. to me, it's unacceptable.ral barr needs to step in and just take the documents. i mean, this is just ought not to be -- if there's a criminal investigation going on, why does the fbi have any flexibility here? we wouldn't if we were under investigation. is the fbi under investigation for this criminal conduct or not? if so, then why haven't the agency's servers been taken from the agency e by the prosecutor, mr. durham? that's the way a criminal investigation is done, but i don't think we're seeing a criminal investigation. i think we're seeing an administrative review that may result in a crime here or there being prosecuted, but nothing serious. i'm tired of it, lou. we've got to call it as it is. lou: well, absolutely. and, tom, i do think this just may be the fbi's view of some kind ofs are processty. they -- view of reciprocity. they didn't want to disturb the dnc and actually look at their servers directly, so perhaps they feel that no one should look at their servers. i guess it's some sort of weird swa

wray is part of it.s an extraordinary gathering of questionable characters over the course of time, particularly those -- and, by the way, that includes some republicans including michael chertoff who altogether chose to destroy a great, a great firm and the jobs of 85,000 people as they took on and charged a professional services firm arthur anderson, which was a death blow, of course. it would be to any professional services firm. let's turn to, if we may, the flynn case and the role here of the fbi which persists as a cloud that is ever darkening. we still don't have the 302s, the interview records of general flynn and the fbi agents who conducted those. it's inning conceivable -- inconceivable that the fbi would lose the interview record of the, an interview with national security adviser to an incoming president. it's just, it's unthinkable but yet here we are these three years later, and it still persists as a great enigma within the fwbi. -- fbi. >> it could only have been destroyed because the sy

>> i don't think christopher wray is right person to be put in charge of investigates christopher wrayt is not going to be productive. there has been ample opportunity for things to have happened over the last two years including mr. wray filing a whistleblower complaint himself or traveling over to talk to the attorney general himself if he knew of exculpatory evidence in the fbi's files and there is obviously a boatload of it. so something different is going to have to happen to reform the fbi. it is not going to be from christopher christopher wray. elizabeth: we have prosecutor, mr. durham working on this right now. what do you think should happen to former fbi director james comey and peter strzok and his team? do you want criminal charges brought against them? what do you think? >> we don't have all the evidence yet. obviously john durham knows more than we do but from what i'm seeing i'm certainly seeing evidence that contradicts their sworn statements to congress and statements made in their 302s and things that have certainly supported criminal charges with respect to other pe

and this hasn't been because of christopher wray, director wray.is because of the inspector general looking at them and this other pressure that's been put on them and so that's -- the timing of it is most dubious. the action is appropriate but should have been done a long time ago. sandra: it's going to be called an after action review, it will evaluate the fbi's role in the case and, secondly, determining whether any, quote, current employees engaged in misconduct. do you believe ultimately there will be any accountability that will come from this? >> well, we haven't seen any so far. i would hope so. i hope the attorney general goes after the folks that were at the top of that order that committed the coup. then you have -- attempted the coup. you have some others along the way that were following orders from those people. and we need to get to the bottom of that. i hope somebody's held accountable for this. sandra: ultimately what happens with the fisa process is of keen interest to you. you have been pushing on this. you recently introduced a

wray. let me think all colleagues at the fbi that they have done in this case and it serves as a reminder of the relentless efforts of the professionals at the fbi who, every day, stand on the ramparts protecting the safety of the american people. while their hard work has led to this breakthrough and it should be celebrated on must also express great disappointment it took over four months and large sums of taxpayer dollars to obtain evidence that should have been easily and quickly accessible when we obtained court orders. apple has made a business and marketing decision to design its phones in a way only the user can unlock the contents no matter what the circumstances. in cases like this where the user is a terrorist, or in other cases where the user is a violent criminal, human trafficker, child predator, apple's decision has dangerous consequences for public safety and the national security. it is, in my judgment, unacceptable. apple's desire to provide privacy for customers is unders

christopher wray's so-called review of it all.a statement the fbi admitting, quote: although e the fbi does not have the prosecutorial authority to bring a criminal case, the inspection division can and will evaluate whether any current onboard employees, get that? onboard employees engaged in actions that might warrant disciplinary measures. in other words, well, going on to say as for former employees, the fbi doesn't have the ability to take disciplinary action. in other words, the fbi has successfully, corruptly run out the clock and will have only irrelevancies to offer in this internal review. we will have a lot more on this development tonight. we'll be talking with judicial watch president tom fitton who has just uncovered an important document concerning the origins of the flynn investigation. >>> in other news here, the chinese communist party bending the arc of history as the liberals like to say, bending the arc of history toward totalitarianism. today can china scrapped hong kong's representative government and all bu

where do you think we stand with director wray tonight?> i don't think he has done himself any favors. this goes back years where we have had and congressional investigations and even the department of justice itself revealing problems that the fbi, and christopher wray says i'm going to start training people better any sort of pretend like it is not a big deal. today statement from the fbi seems to be taking it a little bit more seriously, which is in everybody's best interest that if they truly care about these violations of civil liberties and corruption, they need to act like it. and christopher wray i think it's getting that message and none too soon. >> shannon: the doj has told us there are more flynn documents coming. standing by for those to be doctored in. jim jordan also busy signing onto another level bulimic letter with adam schiff, not turning over or releasing transcripts of some of the many, many people that were interviewd connection to the russia investigation. they say this, if it is true that he is blocking the dash it

this is a time now for them to come up for air and christopher wray exercise the authorities he can,e has no authority over x employees whether it's comey, mccabe, strzok or page, he has to know whether practices can be improved, he needs to understand this in his own context and what we're seeing is, fbi inspections conducting an internal inquiry to help restore the public trust in the bureau that it can take care of its own business and it's nothing more and nothing less. this is an internal inquiry and if anything, be careful what you ask for you might get it. he might conclude that everything was by the book. >> some patterns here to look back at, when the doj inspector general, i think he's the only still there had that dramatic day of testimony about the fisa process, christopher wray was put on his heels, you were on the air with me talking about what a moment this was for christopher wray and he acknowledged the mistakes, he made announce thamt the bureau will reform itself. and he does happen to still be there. does that bode well for him or in the eye of trump watchers put

and then you've got wray who's asleeped -- a asleep at the switch with. he hasn't done a thing.he hasn't brought any of this stuff to bear that we've became aware of in the last two weeks. you know, he these to step down or be relieved of his duties. he hasn't done the job. to make matters worse. lou: and the, and the attorney general, somewhat surprisingly, expressing support for christopher wray. by the way, i said sally yates, it's susan rice i believe you're referring to -- >> right. i am. lou: -- at that oval office meeting. your thoughts about the attorney general's voicing support then for wray as he has, in point of fact, blocked a lot of transparency and the public's right the know hasn't been exactly high on his agenda in any -- >> yeah. i don't know what that is. it might be a matter of timing, might be a matter of waiting for other shoes to fall, i don't know. but i do know one thing, there's been an absolute lack of leadership, you know, throughout the government. there's a few people that stand up and say the right things like yourself and others. but without leade

and chris wray is the guy who heads up the fbi. donald trump does not have to order that the fbi go after richard burr, the department of justice do it but presumably chris wray likes his job. and doesn't want to lose it. i mean, that's where we are. part of the dangerous reality is the president has created is you cannot just on good faith trust things done by this administration, trust that they're on the level. i want to stress, this may all be on the up and up, maybe the postal service reviewing amazon. maybe paul manafort got out of jail for perfectly good reasons that had nothing whatsoever to do with his connection to the president that he refused to roll over on. we know trump is vindictive and loudly vindictive. we know trump himself said the jury is still out on wray. that's a message sent. we also know somehow a law enforcement official leaked this warrant within 24 hours. that's where we find ourself now. this is the unsteady state we're in as the pandemic ravages our country and our economy. over 85,000 dead, 36 millio

i understand the drum beat against director wray. share the view of many of those calling for his resignation. the problem is the culture in the fbi. the idea the fbi agents have that they can get away with so much. they have never had to have their records open to the public scrutiny, the likes of which jim jordan and hopefully senator graham will eventually put them. to say what happens to wray is really up to the president. i think he is going to wait until after november. ainsley: keep in mind none of this would have come to light if hillary would have won. according to axios says is he not happy with wray or they are hearing that he is not. he would like to replace him. unlikely as you said to replace him before the election. in the meantime, he will just defer to barr. we will continue to follow that sidney powell who is the lawyer for michael flynn she retweeted a tweet that said fire wray. many people are saying that but we will have to see. thank you, judge. >> all the best, guys. ainsley: to you, too. can you catch his show

is director wray going to hold the deep state accountable.t's been a long time, are you going to call out the massive abuse of power, corruption? will you restore faith in what is the premier law enforcement institution? what do you want your legacy to be? do you want truth and justice to prevail? or will you preserve and protect the institution just for the sake of protecting it because you are not protecting anything. by the way, what we have uncovered is an undeniable abuse of power. also tonight, breaking, i'm told the new document still under protective order in the flynn case will move us closer and closer to a deep state reckoning. here to explain, republican congressman jim jordan, michael flynn's attorney, sidney powell. you got some today, you can't tell us what they are. my sources say within the next ten days there is going to be bombshell after bombshell. do you have any idea what that might be? >> we've been asking for a number of documents for a long time, not the least of which is the original 302, the fbi report of the interv

also, hearing about a possible replacement for the fbi director, christopher wray?he groundhog day segment of "first look." who is on the outs with the president? who is on thin ice with the president? axios is reporting that christopher wray, the fbi director, is on the outs with the president. the president doesn't trust him, doesn't think of him as his own person. doesn't look like he will be replaced. the president is deferring to the attorney general, bill barr, who wants to keep him. you talk to people around the president, and he complains about the fact that he feels like christopher wray hasn't been hard enough in pushing back against what the president considers corruption at the fbi that came out in the michael flynn case, recent series of documents. and, and this is always the thing with the president, he doesn't feel like christopher wray is his guy. the reason he is staying now, jonathan swan reports, two things, both practical. one, people around him say before an election, six months to the day yesterday until the election, do you really want to kick

and chris wray is the guy who heads up the fbi. donald trump does not have to order that the fbi go after richard burr, the department of justice do it but presumably chris wray likes his job. that's where we are. part of the dangerous reality is you cannot just on good faith trust things done by this administration, trust on that level. i want to stress, this may all be on the up and up, maybe the postal service reviewing amazon. maybe paul manafort got out of jail for perfectly good reasons that had nothing to do with his connection of the president he refused to roll over on. we know trump is vindictive and we know a law enforcement official leaked this warrant within 24 hours. that's where we find ourself now. this is the insteadty state we're in as the pandemic aven ravageds our economy. a president who cannot do the job and has as much chance of fixing the problem as if you shoved me in the nuclear reactor control room on the night of the accident. a president who is determined to do whatever it takes to save himself from his

robert: what are yo hearingn wray? the same? >> i think the president is tsenchanted with wwray.hile i don'tnk he's going to fire him there's some bad blood. with this president anything can happen. robert: anything can happen. we're going to have leave it there as always. as always, anything can nap the trump administration. thank yovery much for being here to our reporters, molly ball, peter baker, to lose olorunnipa and susan davis. thank you all for jonathan:ing us. we will keep taking you as to the news as we can when anything can happen. on the extra, we will head to the "washington week" book shelf and discuss molly's book "pelosi." find it on social media. and toll the mom out there including my own.y ha mother's day. i'm robert costa from washington.
