said he would pull out said trump even hillary clinton said she would get out of that but the house said mr. president obama if you could change three or four things we could vote for it and he said no. take it or leave it it wasn't going to pass the house anyway because there were the same concerns in the senate.e. i think we were very close to having a good deal i would rather have cns pullback to renegotiate a few elements that may not be too late for that framework. >> now we hear from the next call from maryland. >> caller: thank you for taking my call. listening b to other callers i am convinced of brainwashing and dumbing down of america is completed by the media outletsts like cnn and msnbc i was a lifelong democrat i left the democratic party because in good conscience i cannot remain all the facts that you brought up about obama debt of 7 trillion which he promised during the campaign he would cut in half for the democrats out there have to tell you but my biggest frustration with government is the impotence of congress it just appears like with this fbi saying that it is

it is terrible about how they are not prosecuting the clintons . i cannot believe it. all the things they have been doing for years and years, crime and corruption. i read a book about when the clintons were in the white house ad a man working there saying mafia from arkansas. host: what looked did you read? -- book did you read? where did my book go? here it is. on admitted access, an fbi agent inside the clinton white house. host: last call on open phones. independent. to put out ated statement for all the people concerned with mueller's investigation on trump. hang onto your hats. you are about to find out a when paulof dirt manafort goes to trial. it is all about money and he is the guy. watch out. host: that will do it for open phones. up next, it is our spotlight on magazine series. we will take a look at the recent piece. thornberry talked about iran nuclear deal with called for the removal of sanctions on iran and in iran'se for a run's -- nuclear deal on may 12. once the deal is in place is what happens if the united away and i think others, y mattis, among to

the hillary clinton e-mail case was public. the counterintelligence investigati investigations, trying to figure out if a small group of people, not donald trump, we were not investigating donald trump, whether these americans were coordinating anything with the russians. we'd just started the investigation. didn't know if we had anything. it would have been unfair to those people to talk about it and would have jeopardized the investigation. >> on a cold winter day in january, comey heads to trump tower to meet with the president-elect for the first time. >> i'm about to talk to him about allegations that he was involved with prostitutes in moscow and that the russians taped it. no one, to my recollection, asked, so what's coming next from the russians? how might we stop it? they h had a flashback to my days investigating the mafia. the bosses a the head of the table. we're going to figure out how to do this. >> comey is invited to the white house. >> people thought i helped elect donald trump. why would i want to go to a publ

hillary clinton says that he cost her the white house. donald trump just called him an untruthful slimeball. now, he is sharing his story about standing at the crossroads of the most controversial election in modern history. you say it's a dangerous time in our country. >> i think it is. and i chose those words carefully. i was worried when i chose the word "dangerous" first. i thought, is that an overstatement? and i don't think it is. >> reporter: why not? >> i worry that the norms at the center of this country, we can fight as americans about guns, or taxes or immigration. we always have, but what we have in common is a set of norms. most importantly, the truth. and if we lose that, if we lose tethering of our leaders to that truth, what are we? >> reporter: i've talked to a lot of people who've watched you for a long time. some of them come out with this storyline on james comey. "here was a guy who loved being fbi director. he got fired. he's angry." >> i get why people would think that. that's just not right, though. >> reporter: we

arthel: was director comey soft on hillary clinton and former attorney general loretta lynch? was there good reason for him to investigate them? >> there was good reason to investigate and yes, he got the law totally wrong. passing classified material over a home computer network was in fact a violation of the law. we know that because john deutsch, former cia director during the clinton administration in fact was pardoned by bill clinton just before he was going to take a plea agreement because he had done exactly that. arthel: i want to confirm that you said that director comey did break the law by sharing his memos, four of his memos with his friend columbia law professor danielle richmond, also a former federal prosecutor. he intended to get the information to the public and the media designed to continue the fbi's investigation without political interference. again, did mr. comey break the law in the process? >> if they contained classified material that did not been declassified, then yeah, he potentially broke federal law. arthel: do you think there's sufficient reason

. >> he also gave new insight into his thought process while investigating hillary clinton's e-mails. for more, let's go to tracie potts. >> good morning, in this very long interview that we saw excerpts of, he says the politics that were happening at the time, and the polling suggests that hillary clinton would likely win had an influence on his ninvestigation. >> i was operating in a world where hillary clinton was going to beat donald trump. i don't remember spelling it out, but it had to be a factor. she will be president and if i hide this he have be illegitimate when she wins. >> president donald trump called him a slime ball on twitter and says that comey is, he calls him sh slippery james comey, the worst fbi director in history. we also heard from sarah huckabee sanders talking about the comey interview and the fact that he leaked information. >> he is a self admitted leaker. he knew what he was doing. he thought hillary clinton would win and this would give him some cover. >> so comey throwing out a lot of allegations, taking a lot of heat for it, too. taking into the contex

so for hillary clinton to say about my e-mails never ever. if you want evidence you get the evidence so then you have the person giving the documents to say these are the things that she gave up. but you don't see if they are tested to be verifiable yes there were e-mails on that laptop or whatever it was that shows that she did not turn over everything i cannot recognize this as an investigation. >> so when james comey writes about that in a higher loyalty did you pick apart that part of the book as a lawyer? >> as a former prosecutor this is what i did. i can say the writing the way it flows i don't know how that all worked out but that is the best thing i can say about the book there really is no compelling reason with the grand jury know look at how the trump people are being treated and paul manafort home was broken into. there is a very different standard. >> james comey would not disagree with that without factual predicate at that point to have all the evidence. >> but the problem of the e-mail server with that to the grand jury. >> i

comey's wife, patrice, a clinton supporter disagrees. >> as supporter of hillary clinton i wanted her to say that's what iowan the fbi to do. they have to do that. instead i feel look she attacked the institution and my husband. i was disappointed. i still wanted her to win. >> reporter: her husband would stay silent during the electtion about information donald trump's campaign was the subject of an fbi counterintelligence investigation for possible coordination with russia. this was very different. we did not want the americans to know we had reason to believe they might be working with the russians because we got to run this down and investigate it. >> reporter: in january, 2017, comey does tell the incoming president about sensitive but unverified information the fbi received from what they believe to be a credible source. a salacious al gafgs trump's encounter with prostitutes in moscow. >> why tell him? >> we have been told by the press they're about to run with it. one way to defeat the adversary is tell the person that may be black mailed, we the government know about this. yo

anthony wiener, former husband of clinton's closest aide. from clinton's personal domain. have you been in touch with the fbi, secretary clinton? clinton was on board a plane when the news leaked out. until they landed. it took guts for director comey to make the move that he made. changed its position and the case was again closed. in hillary clinton's eyes, it was too late. but got scared off. demanded his loyalty in private conversations. claims trump denies. this is a fox news alert. of the united states. when it was broadcast live on tv. why did you fire director comey? because he was not doing a good job. very simply, he was not doing a good job. of the most pivotal, political figures. ironically, perhaps, hated by both sides. brilliant, or perhaps inconsequential. his first draft begins here. between the russian government and the trump campaign team? director for donald trump — a little later. was a key reason she lost the 2016 presidential race. role in the election? it was an important and prominent role. i hope not. influence. i hope that's not true. know the

clinton's special counsel cost us 70, 80 million dollars and we got nothing out of it. i think it is a huge waste of money. and i would like to see it frankly shut down. >> okay. gregg? >> well, i don't think you can put a price tag on justice. >> yes, that's true. >> i do think that the inspector general's report will be very revealing. he is examining closely james comey, andrew mccabe, peter struck, lisa page, and others at the fbi and at the department of justice. so he may find that there is a criminal referral to be had. >> kimberly, i think there's -- so many people are so angry about this whole situation. >> uh-huh. >> and they feel like all of the weight of the legal effort has been on one side. against president trump. whatever you think about what he did or didn't do, or his team, it feels like it's all coming from that direction. do you think that people will be satisfied that justice has been done if there's nothing coming back on the other side? >> no, and can you imagine the president of the united states not being able to have justice and have the due pr

. >> i was operating in a world where hillary clinton was going to beat donald trump. i don't remember spelling it out but it had to have been, that she is gipg to to be elected president. if i hide this from the america people she will be illegitimate the moment the letter came out. >> if you knew that would come out would you still send it? >> i would. i would. zb >> we had a trifecta of tweets this morning as well as talking about michael cohen. what is he saying? >> he is up to six i think this morning. when talking about attorney/client privilege, that is reference to his long time perm attorney two had his home, his officer and his hotel room raided by the fbi. some of his personal effects seized. court documents sell us he is under criminal investigation for largely personal bichltz they are arrests attorney-client privilege. there are limited circumstances where a court will potentially go past that rule. that's one of the things that the court certainly had to review in the case of michael o cohen. that's part of the president's views today. he is also talking

anderson, they know all too well what the clinton impeachment was about. it was about a real estate transaction that came under investigation that eventually turned into sex and an investigation whether or not bill clinton lied under oath when he was being deposed in the paula jones matter. and they're seeing some shades of whitewater in all of this quite honestly. the question becomes was the president just venting earlier tonight? was he once again pining about the possibility of firing robert mueller or does he ultimately do that? and of course that just conjures up this huge potential for a constitutional crisis in this town. but anderson, that just depends on if the republicans decide to act. if the republicans stand by and allow the president to fire the special counsel or the attorney general, the deputy attorney general, and then nothing happens and this case is dropped, then it just may eventually be a matter for the voters come november to decide whether or not any of that was appropriate, lawful, and so on. so a whole slew of questions that need

hillary clinton comes out and basically criticizes the election and putin immediately blames her for instigating. so the u.s. covertly trying to overthrow it. one of the interesting things is we talk to people who are high up in the obama white house foreign policy apparatus and when you look at the action and criticism of the election in 2013 when they try to get to a new government in ukraine, putin is out there saying this is a plot against me and russia and they thought that was him blowing smoke for domestic political consumption. they didn't believe obama was trying to overthrow him but they came to realize the issue that yes he did come he had a paranoid view of the world about what he wanted to do with russia and did believe he had to fight back against the west and undermine the order that he felt was attacking him. >> said i his mind was a defense action. >> may be going on the offense against perceived foes and it's not a great country when it comes to economic might and influence around the world and with social media does is create an asymmetry so we are more wired than

judge jeanine: chelsea clinton didn't get attacked. but attacking the trump kids is their business. >> before the trump presidency the trump children were revered and thought as unbelievably successful. ivanka trump who is in her own right an incredit intlikful young woman, mother, working mom, someone young women have looked up to for years, and now she is being attacked. judge jeanine: ellen degeneres talking to kamala harris. >> if you had to be snuck an elevator with president trump, jeff sessions or mike pence, who would it be? >> does one of us have to come out alive? >> it's so funny. these people make jokes that are not good for america. i think -- kamala harris is part of the problem in california. she is supporting illegals. she supports sanctuary city. she is not for law and order and she was the attorney general of california. now she us talking about twoojt seat attorney general, the president and the vice president not survive in an elevator. it's not funny. judge jeanine: he was an advisor to bill clinton and he has some

>> when hillary clinton complains a new book they were no it never going to let me be president. it isn't that a description of the attitude towards donald trump. tonight we blake down the path to remove the president that you voted for from office this year. good evening and welcome to the next revolution. tammy and rich are here tonight. will debate james comey who we put on trial on our show last week. we ask will we ever see equal justice done over the 2016 election. one of the members of congress will join us live. and swamp watch we take a look at how president trumps own appointees are undermining his during the swamp agenda. plus my interview with president trumps advisor on judicial appointments and how those are helping to defeat the deep state. did you know how excited the elites were about the michael coyne case? >> with all his personal experience and i queens with michael cohen, it's the legal judgment that the cohen case is more dangerous to his friend donald trump and robert mueller's investigation. >> were hearing that this investigation and possible development

did the obama administration step in to squash a probe by clinton foundation? there are new questions raised and we have the stunning details next, stay there. evidence that the obama justice department pressured the fbi to drop an investigation of the clinton foundation during the heat of the 2016 presidential cap pain. i criminal refer elegancy mccabe for lie to investigators. there is a description of a phone call in august of 2016. he claimed he pushed back hard against someone who seemed to be pressuring the fbi to squash a probe in the clinton foundation discuss this with former fbi agent in sacramento, california, head of the corruption task force in sacramento? let's talk where we are here. i had you on radio i had to enviolet you on tv. is this normal for an fbi principle deputy to call up the fbi and say, kind of slow walk this of the clinton foundation this is how it went down. >> thanks, laura. yes, i ran corruption squad in sacramento for years. it is the state's capitol city. most populous, larnlest state of the nation. conducted investigations in

hillary clinton wasn't perfect. she wasn't per perfectly fit for the white house. jesse: this is hillary in her own word saying she had something to do with the #metoo movement. >> it's march 2018. you are. >> yes, it has, i believe that. i believe it was a wave that was building and building and building. i think my losing probably accelerated that wave. but the wave was coming. jesse: hillary clinton accelerated the #metoo movement. >> she need to start the she knew movement. we know she may have allegedly knew about that harvey weinstein. she took money from him and didn't give it back. maybe she should start a new movement, she knew. >> if she would have been president of the united states, she would have sold half of america for a paid speech. jesse: go to their web south diamondandsilk.com. jesse: christianity is coming under fire. this time at the campus of george washington university. they are bashing christianity for giving christians an unfair privilege. professor, you say there is christian privilege here. is there not christian privilege in the middle

the contrast between what they did with secretary clinton. i had secretary children tomorrow in the benghazi hearing under oath. i said would you agree to allow a neutral third party like a federal judge to examine alled the emails you have? i said would you agree to that. of course, they wouldn't. and they got an even better deal. it was basically james comey's fbi who called up cheryl ann said when do you want us to come over and we'll pick up the ones want to do for us after they have done the sort on the front end. president trump would take the deal with a federal judge in a heart beat compared to what they did. jesse: hillary bleaches her server and they interview her not under oath and let her off with a slap on the wrist, basically scott-free. you understand why people think the swamp is rigged. and there is rules for different people if you are an insider or outsider. >> the biggest thing, that double standard, that dwriefs everyone crazy. if you are clinton, comey, lynch or lorett or lois lerner, you ga special deal. jesse: listen t

states that polls, where crooked hillary was leading, were a factor in the handling (stupidly) of the clinton email probe. in other words, he was making decisions based on the fact that he thought she was going to win, and he wanted a job. slimeball!." >> discussing the investigation two weeks out. >> james comey is a good man who made a blunder. >> reporter: james comey describes president trump as a bully who is untethered to truth and compares his circle to the mafia. lying about all things large and small. cbs news. >>> president trump is defending his use of the term mission accomplished to describe a missile attack on syria's chemical weapons program. he tweeted the syrian raid was so perfectly carried out with prestition only way the fake news media could demean was my use of mission accomplish. i felt it a great military term it should be brought back. use often. the president said they have been waging a campaign of lies. she said the missile strikes should convince him to stop usings chemical weapons. >> it is now up to syrian president bashar al-assad to receive this message. this

what about the clinton campaign. they did millions and millions of dollars to the perkins law lw firm who paid fusion gps so when they filed their reports there was no frays of fusion gps or the dossier or any of that. they camouflaged the payments. has fusion gps been raided? has perkins been raided? the double standard is really troubling and it just seems that ever since the special counsel was appointed it was try to figure out whatever we can find any way and throw it against the wall and see if it sticks. that's not the way you want law enforcement to go. lou: well law enforcement, i don't even know if there is such a thing left within the fbi or the department of justice. it is a -- the special counsel investigation is a political persecution, it's no longer an investigation. this is a joke. the people think it's a joke. we're talking about 13 of 17 attorneys who are democrats, and i'm talking about -- i'm talking about ea i.d. left wing democra. these are not passing kiwanis luncheon. these folks are committe

>> i was on television about clinton. i've been on television about whoer everybody who has been charged with crime. what i said is don't pardon, don't fire, don't tweet and don't testify. very simple advice. >> that's four don'ts. >> the testifying is important. we learned a secret from comey. he said why did i write an exoneration letter of clinton before we interviewed her. he said an investigation wi make up our minds first. we figure it out and bring in the person like hillary clinton or donald trump to see if they will lie. comey is telling trump. he's telling trump, if you come and testify it's only because we want to put you in a perjury trap. that's a very good argument for why donald trump should not speak to special prosecutors if he can avoid it. >> prosecutors say they're not looking to do a perjury trap because they want to test someone's veracity. let he play something that james comey said. he's involved in the mueller probe. he's a major witness. james comey just said this. >> i think impeaching and remov

he still can't get past his anger at you guessed it, hillary clinton. you want to talk about this now with keith boykin, alice stuart and terra setmier. so the president can't get over his anger at the co-president of the united states, hillary clinton. tara, he was meeting with top military leaders about syria and then he started talking about his attorney general and then hillary clinton. watch this. >> they're not looking at the hillary clinton, horrible things that she did and all the crimes she committed. they're not looking at all the things that happened. >> why does it always go back to hillary clinton? >> because she's his foil. why not? she's the foe, the boogeyman. you know how many republicans tell me they weren't thrilled about voting for donald trump but they could never fathom hillary clinton being in the white house? that is what fueled the majority of people who voted for donald trump. besides there were always going to be the 20%, 30% that were just die hard. but a lot of those republicans that had trepidations about who donald trump w

the allegations he was in hillary clinton's camp. he had an interest, i think the ig is trying to make the argument and making it seem like he was really going after hillary clinton. as comey said, there was nothing to be done against hillary clinton. a lot of noise about an investigation that was being actively suppressed by the justice department and within the fbi. this justice department is still protecting mccabe, still protecting comey, sitting on documents about -- >> harris: do you think there is a report that's going to come out in terms of how people look at the report? you talked about it as being -- >> i think there's going to be a lot of interest in how this investigation of hillary clinton's foundation was handled and whether there was improper political intervention. i don't understand why the justice department hasn't refocused resources on this the way they have with the improper targeting of president trump. quickly, harris, this shows you that the obstruction investigation against president trump is dead. comey was

remember, bill clinton said it's a good deal for the american people. his appeasement of north korea, kim jong il, kim jong un's father. remember this diplomatic dereliction? take a look. >> this is a good deal for the united states. north korea will freeze and dismantle its nuclear program. south korea and our other allies will be better protected. the entire world will beou safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons.. south korea, with support from japan and other nations, will bear most of the cost of providing north korea with fuel nuclearup for the energy it is losing. and they will pay for an alternative power system for north korea that will allow them to produce electricity while making it much harder for them to produce nuclear weapons. the united states and international inspectors will carefully monitor north korea to make sure it keeps its commitments. only as it does so will north korea fully join k the community of nations. >> sean: didn't work out too well. it's time to learn from the failures on the world stage. appeasement never wor

for democrats, a vanishing clinton allows them to break with the turbulence that marked the clinton years. their aftermath, and terms won. the question is whether clinton will give the democrats the breathing room they need. who is the leader of the democratic party? who's leading, and name one the leading policy they will run on a 2018. >> here's the answer to the question. who is the leader of the republican party at this .4 years ago? was at paul ryan? it was not anybody who ultimately ran -- >> jason: who is the leader? would hillary clinton speaks, issue not still the leader of the democratic party? >> no, of course not. >> jason: is a nancy pelosi? >> is a combination of chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and a lot of younger democrats who were coming on scene and speaking on a platform -- >> jason: that platform, name one thing the democrats -- >> let me give you one example. remember, donald trump said to the black community, support to me, what do you have to lose? the answer, you can use health care, medicaid, social security. ballooning deficits. there are ways in which -- >> jason

" classified emails showed up on hillary's assistance husbands, anthony weiner's computer, who is in prison for pornographic interaction with a minor online. has a clinton foundation or huma abedin's home or hillary clinton's bathroom not been rated yet? no. and as for the $150,000 payment, alan dershowitz calls it a fake story. >> martha: when you look at these two, what's abundantly clear is that these two situations have been treated completely differently. hillary clinton was treated with kid gloves and the investigation i

handled the hillary clinton investigation. and so i think this interview will certainly bring out a lot more than the book and we're probably going to hear a lot in the next few days. >> no doubt about it. thank you. >>> members of congress were given short notice of today's or yesterday's air strikes on syria own some lawmakers say the president should have gotten their approval before striking another country, but does he need it by law? i'll ask my next guest live in the cnn news room. if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that.

into the debate with hillary clinton. i don't know. maybe it'll make michael cohen nervous, although nothing much seems to bother him. so maybe it won't. >> and you know, also part of this, during that interview, jill, avenatti suggested that michael cohen might be forced to plead the fifth. >> it is definitely possible, and he will be under oath. so he could get in further trouble. he's in already a lot of trouble. i don't know whether the pardon of scooter libby was intended to send the message to michael cohen, don't worry, i've got your back. you don't have to tell the truth, you don't have to cooperate, i will pardon you. that's what it seems to me the scooter libby was all about. and whether michael cohen will talk or not, he has said i will take a bullet for the president. gordon liddy said that during watergate and didn't ever talk. maybe michael cohen will stick to it. >> cohen is trying to block investigators from reviewing items that were seized from his offices last week. there were tapes. is it a crime to tap

foundation and that the justice department loretta lynch at the helm meeting with bill clinton on the tarmac and mccabe saying that doj was asking to get rid of the valid investigation into hillary clinton, this is why this is a big deal, mccabe is holding the figure saying i'm not crooked but they are telling me to get rid of an investigation that held water and this all comes after loretta lynch meets with bill clinton on the tarmac. jillian: how does this end? >> work up the food chain so the next step is to identify who made the phone call to mccabe and on what authority was the phone call made because it does tie together around the circumstances around the tarmac meeting that comey and mccabe are at odds whether mccabe had authority to leak information but the more important part is putting their finger on the scale to squelch these investigations over the clinton foundation, you are talking four separate independent fbi investigations and the chill was on. rob: when this started coming out people started talking about this. everyone laughed it off and now you have this informat

and george asked him, did you come away with any impression of hillary clinton and the clintons he says he has none. do you buy that? >> what i came away with, he really hates donald trump. i understand that president trump is. and therefore george focused on president trump but he didn't have the same hatred for hillary clinton and didn't seem to have the overwhelming hatred for anybody else and it shaded his judgment. obviously, look, he is right when he says that there was no good outcomes in a lot of these situations. when you're investigating the democrat and a republican or satellites of their candidacies, there aren't many good outcomes and people have distrust. somehow he appears to have made it worse for himself and the institution that he represented throughout the campaign at various steps of the way. his tour does nothing to dispel that. >> here's kellyanne conway talking about him this morning. >> this is somebody that is not under oath in interviews and writing a book and this is somebody that is giving a revisionist version of history. the president hardly knew the man. t

not just obstruction in the hillary clinton case. but also as you point out abuse of power and obstruction in the dossier. you are also leaving out theft of government property. now, comey said well, these are my private recollections. my personal recollections. it is not. he was on the job. and he was having a conversation with the president. and he memorialized it in a document under privacy act of federal records act. and the document comey signed called a nondisclosure agreement, it specifically says anything you do in the course and scope of your employment at the fbi is government property. it is not yours. and upon separation from the fbi, you may not take it with you. doing it, is theft of government property. >> sean: last word, sara. >> well, you know comey has obviously made a decision. he has come out. he has spoken. now he has to wait for the ig. he has a hard road ahead of him, sean. >> sean: unbelievable. good work. i have got to praise both of you because this is all -- everything that we have been reporting, you have

he thought hillary clinton would win. and he thought this would give him some cover. >> reporter: comey fired back on twitter tonight, "three presidents are in my book. two help illustrate the values at the heart of ethical leadership, one serves as a counterpoint." the fired director's interview includes details about dramatic encounters with the president, like the first time the two met and the topic was russian meddling in the election and the most salacious, unverified intelligence. >> as you headed into trump tower that day, were you nervous? >> yes. i'm about to meet with a person who doesn't know me, was just elected president of the united states. by all accounts, and from my watching him during the campaign, could be volatile. and i'm about to talk to him about allegations that he was involved with prostitutes in moscow and that the russians taped it and have leverage over him. >> and pierre joins us from washington. in one of the president's tweets today, he implied that comey should face jail time? >> reporter

lowerita lynch focused on the uranium one case and hillary clinton. and allegations of lying and perjury and obstruction of justice for mccabe. his attorney said mccabe got a raw deal from comey and failed to adequately dpraesz the evidence and prove that mccabe advised director comey he was working with the wall street journal. and neither are infallible and neither of them has it right. and peter strok strok and lisa page removed by the investigation by robert mueller. there is questions of their actions amount to rob sfrukz and misleading statements by federal officers. in a separate different. republican tray gowdy asked the fbi and justice department to review e-mails and phone messages. and raised questions about comey's tell to congress. lou? >> lou: thank you very issue catherine herridge. our first guest one of the law make ares encouraging investigations on clinton and others anded welling the charge against the deep and pervasive corruption of the to have echlons of the fbi and justice department. congressman matt gates serve on judiciary a

the clinton foundation came into play and the imaginations within the clinton campaign and the wall street speeches. so was hard for the clinton campaign to credibly make the point the press that they were the victims because it looked like quite frankly-- >> guest: we describe in the book it's anxiety driven. they do see what's happening and they do believe and i think early on he proves to be true that the russians are attacking them. they are the target. you say that they are waiting anxiously today after day anticipating this dump of e-mails. >> guest: at the dump at the democratic convention they know the e-mails have been hacked as well and probably others. they are waiting for not the next shoe but the next shoe store to dump it to fall on them and they are trying to take this seriously. they are doing it as an act of deflection. for the price it's a big story but selling it is very tough. i do fault also the media and the reporters because the story was out there from early beginning that this was underway there were political journalist covering the campaign and the political cons

. >> did you think she was doing that to protect hillary clinton? >> i didn't know. it worried me, gave me uncomfortable feeling because the clinton campaign had been trying to come up with other words to describe it. i decided i have to step as much as i like her, i have to step away from her and show the american people the fbi's work separately. heather: well, here now to retook into account that explosive interview the president of judicial watch tom, thank you so much for joining us this morning, we really appreciate it. >> you're welcome. heather: let's get your overall response to the interview last night. >> well, mr. comey hates president trump and he was willing to break the rules and maybe the law to get him. there's nothing that trump did that mr. comey was willing to credit in terms of truthfulness or concern about reputation and when it came to hillary clinton, though, he bent over backwards, everything was innocent, there was no reason to prosecute her, when you read the interview which includes material not aired by abc, he said he k

look at bill clinton in the 1990s. in our system this neileds to happen and in this case, there is so much we need to know about this case. >> lou: byron, you are a patient and a generous man. we talk about the year long investigation special counsel, when in fact it is it a 22 month investigation. the fbi investigation and built upon that special counsel investigation for nearly two years and two years was america's life and for the entirity of this president's administration. we have had an investigation that is effectively designed to subvert him and suvert his presidency and to bring the administration and the federal government and trump policies to a grinding halt. it has no other purpose because in two full years, not one iota of evidence is produced. at what point, do we say something's wrong and we have to fix it now? this cannot be a investigation in perpeitute or the public falls. >> one party wants to use the investigation as a means to remove the president from office early. that's what they want and there
