and why lie to congress and the court? the whole thing 0 sense. and trying to put a smiley face and it is garbage. >> lou: it is such garbage and unintelable. i couldn't go beyond the first page. comey carrying out disinformation campaign and using the congress and the american people as stage props. that is appalling. >> just think about it. fbi director has a press conference and a public event and said hey, g, we can't get in to iphones f. that is true, why would he make that statement, and reveal an intelligence gap. he had reason to know that technical people were not able. but if they were not the nsa could. you do a request. we have dead americans killed by savage terrorist and we are not playing patty cake and talk about what we might be able to do. and we need to find out the killers and go after them. >> and another incident. but it presidenty on the part of the agency. nmoteen was a decade fbi informant. what in the world was going on that they didn't know what he was up to and his family was up to. >> and to make it sure. down there wh

he has lied to congress under oath. he is a weekend untruthful slimeball who time has proven was a terrible director of the fbi. his handling of the crooked hillary cleansing of the crooked hillary cleansing case and the events surrounding it will go down as one of the worst of botched jobs in history. it was my great honor said the president to fire james comey. today an inspector general report confirmed everything president trump's said about mccabe over the past six months but look at the fbi or remarks. here's a sample of what he said. just eight months ago. special agent andrew mccabe stood tall over the last eight months when small people were trying to tear down the institution will depend on. he served with distinction for two decades. i wish andy well. i also wish--for the rest of the fbi. america needs you. and even comey can see in his book now that none of the presidents actions amounted to obstruction or illegality. he wrote this. i have one perspective on the behavior i saw with regard to the president wh

i blame congress, i blame a lot of people for it. but it should have never been made. and we are going to see what happens on the 12th. if iran threatens us in any way, they will pay a price like few countries have ever paid. lou: we finally have a president restoring credibility on foreign policy. joining me is ron desantis. the congressman is the leading republican candidate for the governor of florida. the president talking tough and straightforwardly to macron as he said he's not retreating his view of the deal. what do you make of it all? >> i think the president is exactly right. this is a deal i opposed from the start. candidate donald trump opposed this when he was running for president. if you look at how it operates, we don't have access to iran's military sites. and then the deal sunsets next decade. even if you don't think iran is going to cheat and they are not going to do this opposite their military site. i give the president credit. he's not just going to put his head in the sand and prethrenld is not a problem. similar to what he has done with north ko

way bigger than donald trump or the current members of congress. it's ensuring the leader of this country is picked by the people and not by the bureaucrats and folks in washington d.c.. trish: this concern about the deep sea and how deep it is an encased we may be learning right now in the present that it's pretty deep. let me ask you what you are doing to fix some of this because i know you've been very active on that front. you are calling for a lot of investigations. you'd like to see them get a little bit more and the case of a special counsel. where do you stand on this? >> we ever furred andrew mccabe for criminal prosecution and the good news it appears that referral was taken favorably and there will be a u.s. attorney investigation into andrew mccabe's conduct. there's also the investigation of hillary clinton that i believe is currently occurring at the little rock office dealing with the uranium one transaction and i'm hopeful that we'll get unadulterated facts from those folks doing the important work and also you've got comey himself.

let me ask you, what should congress do? they have now a rogue justice department and fbi. not meeting the constitutional congressional demands of oversight. >> it's a no brainer. they should hold rosenstein and wray in contempt of congress fan they don't move to pro dpiewls documents, they should impeach both of them. forget going to court to even 40s subpoena. they have the power to hold them in contempt, impeach them and remove them from office. this is arrogance of a type and kind and degree we have never seen from people in the fbi and justice department. rosenstein and wray should be ashamed of themselves but their arrogance is so high and so great that they aren't. >> now we have to teach the american people how to fight. lou: we know you know how to fight. good night from new york. kennedy: i have got breaking news. the fbi has raided the home, office and hotel room of president trump's long-term personal attorney, michael cohen and the president as you can imagine is not happy about it. president trump: i just heard they broke into the office of one of my personal
