fbi? how does that change the nature of comey's decision with respect to the memos and whap its importance is in the overall dialogue? >> well, in this case, we have only been told he was a friend and a columbia professor. it's relevant because the man was at the fbi when all of the investigations and other things were going on. it's relevant because you don't know what other access to information he had. so if this man is speaking to the press with a comey memo in his hand, then how do you know what else he knows or doesn't know doesn't you think that's a legislation mitt line of inquiry. >> no i'm not sure because first of all i don't know if it's true. i don't really know if it's true if he had an official capacity. >> that he work at the fbi. >> or had a role within the investigation. i don't know that's not my reporting. i have to check more into that. but even if it were all rue i'll i'm saying i'll give you the benefit of the doubt on all of it it's all true i don't understand how i

lying to the fbi. lying to the sec. and lying to investors. >> i'm just very, very sorry that a small personal matter has been able to be blown out of all proportion. >> what jim tried to do was to make sure that because the defendant was famous, we weren't treating her differently than we would someone else. >> stewart is convicted for lying to investigators and serves a five-month sentence. but comey emphasizes to his assistants that it's not all about winning cases. >> jim would have a talk with the new assistants, he would sit down with them and tell them how the reputation of the office depended on them doing what was necessary. >> if you come in here as all of my assistants do to report a verdict and you have to tell me it's an acquittal, i don't care, as long as you did the right thing and gave it your best shot. >> after 23 months as u.s. attorney, comey is tapped by president bush for deputy attorney general, the number two position in the dertment of justice. but almost immediately and long before he goes head

with the concept that america is at peace because the fbi is at war. >> reporter: after leaving the fbi. mueller hired as a partner at the law mirm will hail. his former life is never far from his mind. >> i was sitting with him after he left the fbi. and asking him how life was. i definitely got the impression his life of service the not finished. >> reporter: working for nfl and sony. donald trump is elected president. >> i just received a call from secretary clinton. consider casting a shadow over the new administration are concerns about russian hacking into the campaign. just weeks after his confirmation. jeff sessions recuses himself from any investigation into russian meddling. when his contact with the russian ambassador during the kal pain comes to light. >> i have decided to to recuse myself from existing or future investigations. >> reporter: three months later in a stunning turn. >> president trump fired james comey. as director of the fbi. >> fbi directors aren't really supposed to be fired and hired like cabinet initials. the fbi director is appointed a ten year term. whic

of the fbi. he was crazy. a real nut job. i faced great pressure because of russia. that's taken off. that was may 10th, the day after the president fired mr. comey. the following day, may 11th, president trump told lester holt what was foremost in his mind when he fired james comey was the russia investigation. legally the president can fire presidential appointees without anybody telling him that he can't. if, however, the president fired mr. comey because of the russia investigation, because he wanted to influence an ongoing investigation into him and his campaign that comey was overseeing as fbi director, well, that might be obstruction of justice. criminal liability here hinges on intent, evidence of the president's intent in that firing. that's everything. so the 9th comey is fire, the 10th the president tells russians firing him will take off great pressure because of russia, he tells nbc news he's thinking about the russia investigation when he fires the man, all potentially evidence of i

any fbi directors come to mind? know they dell. this is probably the most serious tragic corruption of a law enforcement law enforcement agency of the united states government in our history. these clowns are walking around needing to be indicted. lippe we are not talking about simply corrupt officials. we need to get low we are talking about and that is criminal conduct by public servants, powerful officeholders in the justice department and the f. v. i. you raised the question does the fbi survive all of this? there's a very good argument to be made that it will not survive at this level of corruption. what are your thoughts? >> well it shouldn't and i have offered a prescription for how to fix fix it. the level of abuse in office the lying and the manipulation of the media, the control of selected leaks. we know the investigation was deliberately and willfully shut down in august of 2016 over people who say it's a money-laundering operation. it should be exposed. you can't find greater manipulation of criminal justice , legal in

of what these attacks have done to the fbi. it comes down to this. now in journalism, my job isn't it defend the fbi. can defend itself, but my job is to explain the fbi and explain why these attacks have such a corrosive effect. it's very simple or it might fit in a tweet. an fbi agent knocks on somebody's door and needs assistance in solving a crime, the willingness of that person to assist that agent directly correlates with their view of the agency. the agent and agency is trustworthy they are more likely to assist. if see the fbi as another corrupt institution of government, how many of those people are going to assist? when i was an agent i did a lot of work overseas and i can talk when instance in particular where we went to meet a human source who was providing information about a very sensitive and very imminent terrorism matter. trains, planes, automobiles to meet this person and we asked him, why didn't you just go to your own law enforcement here in your own country, why call the fbi? our law enforcement agencies ar

jim, the fbi's not proud of you. you're a former fbi director out there discussing matters presently under investigation as a special counsel is doing that very thing. where do you come off publishing a book about issues under investigation? even admitting what you leaked was secret and therefore classified. but you protest, i don't do sneaky things. i don't leak. i don't make weasel moves. jim, are you schizo? on the one hand you lie to the president that you don't leak and the whole point of the memo was to leak it and now on your book tour you say it is true, i'm a leaker. and jim, you're a political operative too. you wanted hilary clinton to be president. you even changed the definition of the law to let her get away with it, and you played along with loretta lynch so she could get away with it. >> do you think we would be a lot better with hilary clinton as president than donald trump? >> certainly given her commitment to our traditions and our norms and our values and the rule of law, yes. >> her commitment to

i hope that's a fbi -- i'm not the fbi director but i hope that's a fbi director type answer. >> when you gave the press conference about hillary clinton in 2016 in the summer you said you didn't say she didn't lie. or you didn't say it's possible she lied. you said you found no evidence she had lied. you found no evidence that she had that e-mail server knowing that it was improper. but you're not using the same construct of there is evidence or there isn't evidence. you're saying it's possible that leaves the impression for people that there might be stuff out there that there might be evidence that president trump is under the thumb of the kremlin. >> yeah, but i see that, jake, asking me two different things. i'm not going to talk about the investigation of possible cooperation between americans and the russian effort to influence our election.

he didn't become fbi director until september. comey wasn't even in the fbi at the time. he was a private citizen. andrea mitchell the next day. >> i want to ask you about something you said on fox yesterday. you said jim comey failed to protect americans during the boston marathon since he was fbi director. the fact is he was not fbi director for another five months. >> as you know, jim comey served as the head of the boston office of the fbi at a period of time that i think mr. mueller served as the u. s. attorney in the state of massachusetts. >> but not during the boston marathon. >> not during the boston marathon but jim comey was responsible, i belief and we can go back and check for the whitey bulger disaster. he was the head of fbi -- >> whitey bulger had nothing to do with the boston bombing. >> there was no admission that he said something untrue. no apology. just moving along and decided to bring in the boston crime boss whitey bulger that had nothing to do with the boston bombing. he is attempting to grab at another straw saying comey was the head of the bosto

they were running an fbi of honorable men and women. at the tippy top people in charge of the clinton investigation were clinton people. this was a hot mess and jim comey was too busy running out to the cameras on july 5, on october 28. you were tweeting pretty heavily last fall that jim comey has made himself more politically relevant than any fbi director has done and created controversy with apparently no good cause. so i saw a man last night very shaky and unsure to answer questions. we know when he was under oath that he had a very difficult time telling the truth. the fbi had to clean up the big lie about how many confidential e-mails. >> it wasn't a lie. he was wrong. the president has that in his tweet, also. he corrected it. it was less. i think it is interesting that you and the president call that a lie which it obviously isn't but also it benefitted hillary clinton. so the president is upset that testimony in a way that helped hillary clinton? >> we are pointing out and i have on your network and other places over the course

he drafted those memos on fbi equipment, fbi time, using the fbi email network and he thought it was okay for them to get in that special circle of friends and that's not the rules. >> bret: the president set on his interview on "fox & friends" that he may get involved with the justice department. do you believe that mueller or rosenstein, that he won't get through the investigation? >> i think that what that means is that he told armageddon that is not okay to come indicate directly with the justice department. i don't think he believes that anymore. >> it means you're thinking of getting rid of mueller and shutting him down. >> there are people frustrated with what they are seeing in the gameplaying that's going around. they would like to see someone, anyone come in. >> bret: thank you very much for squeezing this all in and thank you for tuning in. that's us for this "the story" " speech may 7 starts after this quick break nick was born to move. 3 toddlers won't stop him. and neither will lower back pain. because at a dr. scholl's kiosk he got a recommendation for our custom fit o

donald trump, when you have a guy that would look at a special prosecutor or an fbi fbi directn this case an fbi director and says look i want you to use the government to clear up something with my wife, i mean, only someone with that kind of mentality would even think like that less alone actually say that. >> one tactic that's best known for being used against organized crime institutions and mob families is raiding number's lawyer's office. >> bring us back to the news of the day. news of the day, we now know from a filing that the president's personal attorney and fixer for many years is under criminal investigation, that that raid on monday came months after rod rosenstein at mueller's request widened the scope of the mueller investigation. this was received by mueller to the u.s. attorney's office of the southern district here in new york. and talk about the parallels.i mean this is your beat. talk about the parallels, the public facing outputs of what you see in this investigation, in this raid, seizing record and everything else from a lawyer's home, and a mob investigation.

of the fbi. of the fbi. third, the administration made it impossible for the minority to engage in meaningful congressional oversight. last summer politico reported that top meetings with various government departments, -- the white house lawyer told agencies not to cooperate with oversight requests and democrats. it is no wonder we received no substantive response to the 60 oversight letters we sent to the administration. instead of a real oversight, we live in a time where the in -- administration appears to be actively coordinating with members of the majority to stymie congressional and doj investigations. it is by now well-known that the phony tip to intelligence that received toes suspension trump's claims that he was wiretapped by president obama came from the trump white house. president trump make numerous courts to members of congress, including senate chairman burr, to end the russia investigation. the judiciary committee, and oversight and intelligence committees are now principally f

they have a rogue justice department and fbi. they are not meeting the constitutional congressional demands of oversight. >> it is it a no brainer, hold rosenstein and wray in contempt of congress and if they don't produce documents impeach both of them. >> and not go to court and do them on their own rulings. nforget going to court. and they have the power to hold them in contempt and impeach them and remove them from office. this is it arrogance of a time and kind of degree that we have never seen from people in want fbi and justice department and rosenstein and, where ray should be ashamed of themselves. but their arrogance is so high. >> teach the republican members was congress how to fight. >> lou: victoria and joe, thank you both for being here. we know you know how to >> russian sanctions will be coming down and they will go directly to any sort of companies dealing with equipment related to assad and chemical weapons moved. lauren: breaking news this morning. locked and loaded. new sanctions on russia and warnings of air

memo that started the fbi russia probe. the lawmakers, along with a number of staffers, viewed the document today at the justice department. nunes threatened to impeach director wray and rosenstein in those agencies hissed the deadline to hand over the memo. that deadline midnight. they made it by about six hours. fox news chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge with our report. >> the government source confirmed to fox news late today that the republican chairman of the house intelligence committee devin nunes and along with trey gowdy, as well as committee republican staffers went to the justice department open met with rod rosenstein and viewed a copy of the two-page memo. not a clean copy. the government sources told fox the redactions were minimal and justified. based on fox's reporting, the two-page memo from july 16, drafted by or had significant input by fbi agent peter strzok, removed from the russia probe after the discovery of the anti-trump text messages. legal action was warranted after months of de

if he was a special government employee of the fbi, he was under the fbi. he was not comey's personal puppet to leak everything he wanted to as well to him. another point, this is very important. he lied about that dossier, and about knowing paid for it. or he just just inept. he signed the fisa warrant. he signed one of the fisa warrants on carter page. we note dossier was the bulk on the fisa warrants. >> how come we never talk about the washington "free beacon"? we never talk about that part of it. judge jeanine: sarah, wait. chris, stop trying to change the topic. the issue is whether jim comey leaked. and whether it's classified or unclassified is not the issue. if you listen to my open it's a violation of the federal records act and the reason people have to get approval from the court to get a 302. this guy isn't god. >> i would love to see a prosecutor bring that case. judge jeanine: let's take a listen to the president. president trump: if our justice department was doing the right thing, they would be and lot tougher right now object those people.

i strongly disagree with you about the fbi. i know fbi agents. i go to church with fbi agents. most of of them to me are republican white guys. james comey was a republican but now he says they are ego driven and politically motivated in their attacks. i think they are dealing with an unorthodoxed president. kennedy: i don't think fbi agents. i said the surveillance powers have grown so much when we should be scaling those back. juan: the american congress approved that. that's the congress. that's not the fbi. if you want to say we as the american people made some mistakes in terms of granting powers, fine. but i don't think you can say the fbi is bad because of those powers. >> they are using the section 702 re-up as a way of accessing information on americans. juan: that power was given to them by the congress. >> it's always worth underscoring the tension between the independence the fbi has and the necessity of serious and strenuous oversight. in some cases we have seen fundamental deficiencies exposed in this investigation. kennedy: i can use certain information to apply

it was very important to him that the fbi look into it, and that the fbi come publicly and make it clear that they're not true. >> natasha, does this do anything at all to where we are right now, in the russia investigation with the president's standing, with the fact that there's been endless reporting, including from phil's colleagues, that the president is lived, he is offbalance this week because of raiding of his lawyer michael cohen's office. at this point, the president who was probably going to be this angry on monday night or tuesday, we're going to get an advanced taste of it. >> yeah, i think that more than anything, what struck me about phil's reporting about this book is the fact that after trump received this intelligence briefing from his -- from the fbi director, from top national security officials, the thing that he fixated on the most was this dossier. the thing after receiving all this information about how russia interfered in our election, about how they compromised our entire democratic process, how they had attacked the country basically, what he fixated on was al

the fbi director brought from the fbi agents to make sure the secret service didn't block your dramatic entrance in john ashcroft's hospital bidside qulaimg you were willing to resign if the southern general didn't follow your suggestion. but enough about you, let's read the boodges excerpts. but you claim the president sitting at his december next oval office was a king sitting on a throne. a king because there was a block of wood between you and the president. and, jim, did you everb appear before a judge? you say the president was concerned when you presented him with your fake dossier alleging he had prostitutes peeing on him in moscow. >> how can you say if there is a 1% chance your wife would think you have prostitutes peeing on you. police a 1% chance my wife would think that was true. judge jeanine: your wife was never presented with a fake dossier by the director of the fbi who parent threatically night wasn't -- who knew it wasn't true. you knew at the time it was not verified. the whole thing was a charade. and when you were asked by stephanopoulos. >> did he have the right t

of the fbi. he expected at this point to be halfway through the normal ten-year turn of an fbi director and president trump fired him in may. he has now written about his time in public life and his views of ethical leadership. it is a book driving everybody absolutely crazy up to and including the president, it's called "a higher loyalty, truth, lies and leadership." director comey, it's really nice to meet you. >> it's great to be here. >> thank you for timing the whole thing, the memos came out just before you sat down. >> i had no idea. >> i haven't had a chance to read what they have released. i can tell you what they stopped. what follows are notes i typed in the vehicle immediately upon exiting trump tower. i have tried to use actual words spoken including quoting directly in some places. i have not used quotation marks throughout because my purpose was to capture the substance of what was said. i'm not sure of the proper classification here. do you recognize those as your words? >> i do.

all of those rely on fbi reports. in 1956, the fbi goes on the offensive with the creation of telco, and cpusa and the counterintelligence program specifically designed to target the communist party of the united states of america. it is specifically counterintelligence rather than prosecutorial. they're not trying to dig up evidence to go before a court, but instead it's a counterintelligence operation to destroy a political enemy of the government for a couple of reasons. one, legal proceedings against communist party leaders had been very successful in sending a number of them to prison and the laws are favorable toward doing that in this period of time, but it had also exposed fbi informants and they had to go before a judge and reveal that information and well-placed inform ants were revealed as part of the court hearing and he was not real keen on that ask in 1956 and '57 they were available to attack dissidents and laws that had been put in place in the '40s and had given free reign to those that might espouse

mark: this is the fbi director? i watched him lie and weasle his way through the interviews this week. i think in his mind he didn't think he should arrest hillary clinton. rachel: that's what i got from the interview as well. trish: if you are someone who believes the deep state is at work he may have been have much part of that? mark: add to that all of his lies, i can see why he thought hillary clinton's behavior was normal. to him it is. >> she is the resistance and he was heading up the fbi and this is why we are in the situation. >> we never liked donald trump. it's one of his faults he says. so was his ego bruised? is this what it's about? mark: he describes three meetings alone with president obama. rachel: he admitted he thought hillary clinton would win, that's why he reopened the investigation. when it all fell apart he needed to get back in with the democrats and the resistance. his wife is friend with hillary. trish: wild stuff. tomorrow is another day. thank you so much. i'm so happy to be here in for

that wasn't what we pictured the fbi doing. mueller was steering the ship that slowly changed in that direction. >> we had to prioritize, make counterterrorism our number one priority. make certain we spend whatever resources were necessary to prevent the next terrorist attack, not just determine who was responsible. >> he led that charge. it was like turning the titanic. in order to do that, he imposed very rigorous discipline on all of us. he would come in extremely early, functioned on very little sleep and expected us to do the same. >> good evening. the fbi makes more arrests today. >> as the u.s. becomes embroiled in the war on terror, mueller, a supporter of the constitution, is uncomfortable with the possible erosion of civil rights. >> i knew and understand we would be judged not only on how successful we were in preventing attacks but how successful we were in doing that within the confines and constraints of the constitution. >> i brought the right for people at guantanamo. i got a lot of flak for it. we had a dinner

wrote it as fbi director. it was work product. >> no. it was not. >> bret: you were talking to the president? >> sure. i carried two copies of it. one to keep in my personal safe at home and i left another one at the fbi so the bureau could always have access to it, but i always thought of it as mine like a diary. >> bret: you said in the memos, i don't do sneaky things i don't leak, i don't do weasel moves. but, we can argue what a leak is but that's a leak, isn't it? >> it's not. >> bret: okay. >> judge: joining us now is fox news contributor sara carter, cpac chairman matt schlapp and go pack chairman david gotella. i will start with you, sara. to me, jim comey looked like he didn't know what to say when bret baier pushed back and said this is a leak. you didn't have authority to leak it and he said no, it's my diary. as if fbi directors have a diary and share it with other people when it's a report. >> absolutely right, judge gentleman jean. this is my personal memo wars which i started at the fbi and put

the fbi is corrupt. and robert mueller and rod rosenstein are unethical and abusive of legal process, they all deserve to be fired. not that i'm suggesting that president should do it because there is political fallout from. they are all unethical and corrupt and in session's case, incompetent and should go. lou: this decision by mueller to charging through referral, to the u.s. attorney, to the manhattan d.a.'s was on the, and the fbi, to take on the president's personal attorney, violates everything that most people can think of is basically approaching an absolute prev lanprivilege between a client ad his or her attorney. >> only breach would be criminal fraud. but that -- requires such an incredible high threshold of proof, it is nearly impossible. these are such thugish tactics by mueller, and now the united states attorney. and snookerring a judge with supposed evidence that merits his signature on a warrant. worse case, payings there are 130,000 bucks to a -- 130,000 bucks to a porn star to go awa

for the department of justice and a fbi agent or a fbi director, here's how we define an employee. those who hold or who have held a position of trust within the agency. james comey's still a fbi employee. >> not from a first amendment standpoint. >> that's a completely different argument. >> but that's exactly the legal argument. you're calling him a leaker which is a term of art which means disclosing information which is classified. >> or sensitive. >> which apparently he did not. we understand his motives. we can agree or disagree with his motives. and then we have the contemporary you memoranda. as i look at the comey memo that talks about let flynn go, it doesn't create for me a compelling case for obstruction of justice. there's a lot of room for people to argue what it was that was at the heart of what the president was asking. so if this is the case upon which you try to bring an obstruction of justice case, i think, well, maybe you have the look for some additional evidence. >> paul? >> i'm struck how often in comey's telling of it the president comes back to russia and m

fbi officials like andrew mccabe. the former number two who was fired for leaking and of the inspector general at the justice department has sent a criminal referral to the u.s. attorney here in washington saying that mccabe tried to cover all of that up by lying to the fbi's own investigators. mccabe says tonight he believes he will be vindicated, but it's worth noting that former justice department officials are telling us that the fact that the inspector general whose nonpartisan and the justice department sent this out, this criminal referral. it carries a lot of weight and that's why the president tweeted a few moments ago that maybe james comey and andrew mccabe are getting a dose of their own medicine. >> mark: that's pretty amazing news, thanks for that. chris is the executive assistant director of the fbi. he's not one of those who is under criminal referral and tom fitton is the president of judicial watch. tom, this is pretty amazing. we basically got a situation where the director of the fbi it would be th

the fbi broke into. >> broke into. that's not what the fbi did. they had a warrant. and they went in with a court order. he seems a little bit panicked. and frankly, i share the senator's concern about him being in a position to decide right now that he may launch military strikes against syria. i mean, frankly i would always be concerned with that. >> right. the president. >> yes. but he has another agenda today. >> your reaction to today. >> i think this is a very dangerous moment. i am deeply concerned. because we look for in moments like this cooler heads to prevail. but the cooler head around him is a hothead, and that's john bolton. right? so president trump, donald trump, he is notorious for lashing out and he is notorious for only caring about himself. at a moment when we need him to care about the republic. and i don't think people have a full grasp of the moment that we're in and the implications of this moment, given who the man is. >> i think there's something else that's dangerous on the table, and i have long sort of subscribed to this theory, natasha,

lou: neither is the fbi an independent agency. they are elements of the executive branch which report to the president of the united states. and in a matter as grave as a collusion between two coequal branches of government, the executive and the legislature, the president should have his voice heard by those who serve at his pleasure. >> oh, i agree that he has every right to do so. but he also knows the political cost that would entail if he was visible in his demands towards the ag and toward the director of the fbi. but again, it's also congress' -- congress has not really exercised oversight for decades. and it's a few people. it's goodlatte, nunes who are finally exercising the oversight as they should have done for decades on the hill. lou: i think truly it's only nunes. goodlatte is a latecomer to the issue and he is also an early exiter from this congress, retiring. it is without devin nunes and solely nunes among those true, it is truly to nunes that we owe a great debt for continuing to search for the truth and serving

a unit in the fbi's technology division. we don't know what fbi james comey had on his mind. the next guest said the culture of cover up in the justice department and fbi. joining is christopherle and director of judicial watch. >> and what was comey thinking? >> there was a larger story. fbi seeking to get in every cell phone. and why in the world would a fbi director come out nationally or internationally and publicly and reveal to the world they have a vulnerability and they are not going to be able to crack. and they would run to court and make false statements and publicly shaping apple. it is the weirdest event in five or step years and why would comey do that. thee g's. and they were with where the tlikt goes to diep. it is the worst double talk. and it is in the end. the fbi anyhow they could get in the phone and lied about it and went public for a weird reason. 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 carryin

the tweet said, i had to fire flynn. >> because he lied to the fbi. >> because he lied to the fbi. now, that is not what trump ever claimed before, but it is -- he said he lied to the vice president. that's what was the claim. it's not a crime to lie to the vice president, but it is a crime to lie to the fbi. when the tweet says he lied to the fbi and that's why i fired him, it means that trump knew at least as evidence from this tweet. now, so did trump -- did comey with his notes, he says and go back to his published testimony before the senate. on the bottom of page 5 and the top of page 6, comey says from that february 14th conversation where trump said let flynn go, he says i spoke to the deputy attorney general who was at that time the u.s. attorney for the eastern district of virginia. >> dana boente. >> dana boente. so we don't -- i don't know that we've seen these notes from boente, but this -- what you've broken tonight suggests that boente was keeping these notes all along the way. i would be very curious if boente also has notes from that pivotal february 14th conversat

and the fbi. i had not noticed before. watch this. >> the oversight committee and judiciary committee interviewed james rybicki. during the deposition, it was brought out that daniel richman, the guy who information was leaked through to "the new york times" had the special's status called special government employee status where he could come and go in the fbi which may not mean much but it seems interesting the guy that comey leaks to hide this sort of unfettered access into the fbi. >> sean: amazing. congressman jordan detailed possible deep state collusion between the media and some of the highest ranking officials in the government over the salacious anti-trump, untrue, unverified clinton bought and paid for, phony russian dossier. take a look. >> james clapper probably leaked >> the press was working on it, the dossier. you have the cover-up, briefed the president-elect. >> it gives it weight and that's what happened. my guess is that clapper is one who orchestrated. he said to comey, you ta
