Coming to life from what has been an extraordinary day on both ends of pennsylvania avenue. It began this morning with an exchange of nasty tweets between senator bob corker and trump and intensified this afternoon with the announcement from frequent trump poetic senator jeff flake that he will not seek reelection next year. So much for a day that was a buster center around a relaxed working lunch. We have coverage tonight. Well talk about whats in the tax plan and what we know is not as of tonight. But we start off right here with john roberts and the republican on republican rhetorical violence. It was really unbelievable but it was another day and another extraordinary moment in the trump administration, something that i have never seen before. A senator rising in the senate to rip his own partys president. I rise to say enough. It was a stunning scene in the senate. Arizona republican jeff flake who faces a tough reelection next year it took to the floor to say he is retiring and in the process delivered a denunciation of president trump. Reckless, outrageous, and undignified behavior has become excused and countenanced at telling it like it is when it is actually just reckless, outrageous, and undignified. And when such behavior emanates from the top of our government, it is something else. It is dangerous to a democracy. The remarkable moment happened hours after tennessee senator bob corker relit the torch on his feud with trump. In an interview this morning, ripping the president for tweeting that 401 k contributions were offlimits in the debate. Hopefully the white house will step aside and let that occur in a normal process. I know recently at the white house in a couple of cases had been taking things off the table and i would just say theres a lot of work to be don done. Trump, who has long insisted that when he gets hit hit back harder, tweeted, in part, bob corker, who helped president obama get us the bad deal and couldnt get elected dog catcher is now fighting tax cuts. But he didnt stop, announcing he wouldnt support the president s reelection and now regrets backing him in the first place and accused the president of debasing the nation. I dont think theres any question, but thats the case, just in the way he conducts himself and goes till such a low level, i do. But look. The rest of us need to do what we can to act as statesmen. Never want to let an insult go unanswered, trump fired back again on twitter, writing senator corker is the incompetent head of the Foreign Relations committee. Look how poorly the u. S. Has done. People like little bob corker have set the u. S. Way back. In the middle of all this, trump joined corker, flake, and the rest of the Senate Republicans for a policy lunch. At the white house insists tax reform was a big topic. Tax reform barely came up. The Senate Majority leader, hoping to preserve some semblance of party unity, would it comment, but other republicans were alarms that have petty feud was stealing headlines from an important legislative issue. Its because all the stuff yu see on twitter, forget about it. Lets focus on helping people. When asked about his resignation, the press secretary said giving his past statements in his home state of arizona, its probably a good thing that he decided to retire. Sarah Huckabee Sanders dismissed his criticism saying he was probably simply trying to grab a few headlines on his way out the door. You know, they actually have a machine here that they used to sharpen their elbow spread its quite something. Thank you. Todays trip to capitol hill was supposed to build momentum behind the president s push for tax cuts but there still a bit of a bumpy road ahead for the president and his party to reach a deal. Heres mike emanuel. After the republican luncheon with trump, Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell said the tax plan could bring them altogether. If theres anything that unifies republicans its tax reform. Weve been looking for the opportunity to do this literally for years. We now have a president who will sign it, who believes in what we are trying to do, and were going to concentrate on what our agenda is and not any of these other distractions. Before the luncheon, the president said tax reform would allow 4 trillion to be repatriated from overseas. Money that wants to come back into the United States cannot come back but under our plan that money will flow back in, it will be very quick and very easy and its a lot of money. Chuck schumer has attacked the proposal, saying the math doesnt work. This plan is a disaster for america. Its no wonder our colleagues want to rush it through in the dark of night. Because the more its exposed to sunlight, the more rotten it smells. The plan is for them to pass tax report by thanksgiving. Speaker paul ryan said a critical first step comes thursday with a budget vote. By completing this budget, that is one big step closer. Which means we are one big step closer toward a pay raise for middle income families. Assuming they have the votes, democrats are focusing on the next fight spreads because this is not tax reform. Even the president has changed his language. This is all about a tax cut. Some conservatives are grumbling about conservatives not releasing the details. We dont even get to see the tax bill that is supposed to be the great savior of the American Economy. Some of the secrecy is due to concerns that lobbyists will start attacking the plan. We should get a better sense of what is definitely in after the house approves the budget. Thank you. Lets get into more detail about the budget and tax cut process. Mick mulvey need joins us here on the north line. Thanks for being here. First of all, this dustup between senators corker and flake, do you see any problem in the effort to get their votes on tax reform . No, not really. I think at the end of the day, theres a couple in either chamber who vote based upon personalities and how they feel about another person. Most of them bow on legislation based upon the merits of the legislation. I think it will rise and fall with the merits of that piece of legislation. Bob corker is not going to vote against a good bill because he doesnt like the president. Jeff flake is not going to vote against a good bill because he doesnt like the president. Im not concerned about that. The next step is the budget. You fill your gear going to get over that hurdle on thursday. And then immediately you get details out . I think the hearings will start the next week. They might float a first draft of the actual bill next week. We sort of glossed over really quickly the importance of having the house passed this budget on thursday. If they do it the way they are talking about doing it, which is to accept the senate package, that saves us between ten and 12 days and we heard paul ryan say that he thinks the house might actually pick up taxes before thanksgiving. Remember, you have a lot of deficit there, a lot of people concerned about the national debt. Youve talked about that many times, weve talked about that. But there are people here who say that the gross is not going to make up for the numbers, that youre going to add to the deficit and debt in this plan. I just happen to think they are wrong. Weve got a chance here to grow the economy. We talked about this before, the chance to grow an American Economy 3 , were already at 3 right now without this tax bill having passed. If we can get about 3 , the amount of money that generates to the treasury is fantastic. It could be two and a half trillion new dollars to the government. Americans get wealthier, everyone gets richer, and so does the American Government and thats how you close that deficit gap. There were some lawmakers in kansas who said the same thing. That a big tax cut. Dina sykes said proponents of the planned use dynamic scoring predicting incredible economic growth. Today we know which forecasts were correct. They may have paid less than income taxes but the increases were offset by theists. So basically the changes were not enough to put the state on the right path. She goes on to say that the state functioned as of the Great Recession had never ended and that was a tax cut package. So you have to commence those folks at the growth its going to make up for it. And i think i can do that because kansas is economy is not the American Economy. Its heavily reliant on Agricultural Prices and so forth and they tried that, they cut those taxes as they went into a really bad time and i think it reflected itself in the larger economy. Its much more resilient. You think you can get democrats . Im not sure about the house. Ive lost track of where they are but my guess is what youll see, and weve seen this before, is that the democrats want to vote for it but they dont want to give you the vote to give you over the help. So if the republicans can get to where they pass the bill with just republican votes, i think you will see them join in. Is everything on the table . Yes and no. The principles of all ready been laid down and theres no reason to negotiate those. One of those basic principles, the middle class will pay less and it will be simpler for them to pay. Remember, 90 of families, not businesses, 90 of families hire somebody else to pay their taxes. One thing on the table, middle class does better and the corporate taxes coming down. Is it that you principles for this administration. I dont think youll see further discussion on those. Death tax, zero . We wanted to go away. Speak up about the possible negotiation. Theres one way to look at it. Should death be a taxable transaction . You die, you have to pay a tax. Why is dying something that gets the federal government into your life . I think that something a lot of republicans, and i think they were honest with themselves, a lot of democrats would agree with. It should not be a taxable transaction. And state and local taxes customer asked if you and i live in different states and lets assume we make the same amount of money, which we dont, but lets assume we do, shouldnt we be the same amount of federal tax . I think the answer is yes. When he talks about fairness thats what hes talking about because right now thats on the case. Folks in South Carolina who make the same as folks who live in virginia or new york, we pay more and thats not fair. Youre optimistic tonight . Very much so, even more so than i was yesterday when i found the house is looking to accept the package on thursday. By the end of the year . Its more likely today than it was yesterday. Thank you for your time. Its always a pleasure. Speak out the white house is always announced its new policy for screening refugees. The worldwide ban ends today. Taking its place, an executive order for a 90 day review. Featuring whats called enhanced vetting for immigrants. Those countries have not yet been identified. An update for a story weve been following for you here on special report, a federal Appeals Court has cleared the way for 17yearold Illegal Immigrants to obtain an abortion. This ruling, the full u. S. Court of appeals overruled a decision by a threejudge panel of the court that at least temporarily blocked the team from having that procedure. We come back, to new investigations both with links to Hillary Clinton. Well talk life next. Theyre affordable and fast. Maybe too affordable and fast. What if. People arent buying these books online, but they are buying them to protect their secrets . . hi bill. If that is your real name. Its william actually. Hmph affordable, fast fedex ground. Youve probably seen me running all over the country in search of our big idaho potato truck. But not any more. I am done with that. Ooh, ooh hot just gonna stay home on the farm, eat a beautiful idaho potato, and watch tv with my dog. Tv anncr the big idaho potato truck pulled into town today and its really a sight to see.

Well, the truth is, that advice was never meant for you. I like you. You want to show me your swing . Its too soon. Get advice thats right for you. Investment Management Services from td ameritrade. Welcome back to the white house for there is a lot of buzz tonight about the latest investigations to hit political washington. Congressional republicans say there is evidence that something was amiss when the u. S. Gave up a significant block of its uranium mining capability to a russiancontrolled company with ties to Hillary Clinton and the clinton foundation. Members of a separate committee, actually, too, are looking for answers from the former director of the fbi over his handling of the clinton email probe and the decisions he made there. Democrats say its all a diversion. Chief intelligence correspondent catherine has our story. Two powerful house committees open investigating Investigative Committee is over james comey, including a letter to congress reopening the clinton email case 11 days before the election. In may, days before being fired by the president , he refused to admit any error. Even in hindsight, and this has been one the most painful experiences, i would make the same decision. The Oversight Committee and House Judiciary Committee are also putting the former attorney general Loretta Lynch under scrutiny after comey circumvented the Justice Department when he drafted what republicans call an exoneration statement two months before 17 key witnesses, including Hillary Clinton, were interviewed. Lawmakers also question why human public with the email case that the same time remain silent about the probe of Trump Campaign associates. In a statement, democrats accuse republicans of launching a massive diversion distracting from the lack of republican oversight. In a separate development, the house Intelligence Committees announced a joint investigation with the Oversight Committee into the 2010 uranium one deal that gave a Russian Company control of a large sale of the u. S. Uranium supply. Congressman nunez questions with the Obama Administration knew. Was there an investigation, and if so, why was congress not informed of this matter. Speak at the 2010 deal is under new scrutiny after a confidential informant came forward claiming there is evidence russia sought to curry favor with clinton and her husband through the clinton foundation. A gag order may soon be lifted. Where in contact with the Justice Department to release them from a nondisclosure agreement. If that doesnt work out that we obviously would be able to subpoena him. Peter king denied the investigation is being driven by politics. This is totally separate from the election issue and has nothing to do with the 2016 election. It goes back to dealings that went on in 2010 and 2011. Trumps personal attorney michael met with investigators today for about five hours after he told reporters it went well, democrats accuse republicans in these sessions of running interference to help protect campaign witnesses. Thank you. Lets get more on the new uranium one investigation. Devon nunez of california joins us tonight from statuary hall. Thanks for being here. Always a pleasure. What are you looking for . We want to find out whether or not the fbi or doj or both had an open investigation. That this deal was approved by several Government Agencies. Basically it had to have approval from several cabinet level people, including secretary clinton. She still on her book to her. She was on cspan and asked about this and the potential for an investigation. Heres what she said. The close of the investigation about real russian ties between Trump Associates and real russians, the more they want to just throw mud on the wall and im their favorite target, me and, you know, president obama. Were the ones they like to put into the crosshairs. Its the same baloney theyve been peddling years and hes been, theres been no credible evidence by anyone. Your reaction . The difference here is whether or not there was an open fbi investigation into this matter. So, look. Weve been communicating back and forth through different channels with this informant as you are well aware. This informant came publicly out last week, so now this actually has up to the stakes in this. We want these people to come forward and share with congress what they know. If, in fact, there was an investigation i dont see how this can be something we can easily look past. You are talking about major decisions that were made at a time when we were resetting relations with russia that actually happened to benefit the clinton foundation, perhaps other avenues, we dont know ye yet. But i dont believe that this informant is lying. I think he was working for the fbi, but thats part of what the probe is going to get to the bottom of. There was a gag order on this informant, is there a prospect that that will be lifted . What we believe, so the Intelligence Committees are made precisely to taken people that were working in the intelligence agencies or for the intelligence agencies and give them a right to go to the legislative branch. So we believe that any informant can do this, and this is part of the reason why we are working with the Oversight Committee, because theres so many Government Agencies this could involved that the chairman of that committee now are teaming up. Theres a place for witnesses to come to with classified information and theres a place for the rest of the folks to go to have information that may not be classified. We should point out that people can go online and see the original stories that we dead on Fox News Channel about this, and the questions that that race. But this is a different level. I want to turn to another part of a different investigation and that is this dossier, the fusion gps folks. How would you describe the attitude of democrats on the Intelligence Committee toward the probing of the origins of the socalled dossier and how they are accepting that . Look. To me it looks like they are obstructing the investigation. This is now in the courts. The house general counsel is now representing congress in this, thats because fusion gps has gone to the court on this matter. We believe that we are going to have this matter i think fixed within the next week or so and we believe that we will receive the financial records of fusion gps because we want to know a few things, number one, starting with who paid, and if so, how much, and who paid them . Was it republicans, donors, republican donors, democratic donors, both, were they on the payroll of any Russian Companies . This is all extremely pertinent information to the Ongoing Investigation and as you know, as chairman of this committee, it is my job to enforce these subpoenas. Weve been working on that. As we stand here, would you think bankrolled this . I still have no idea. Thats the problem. We dont know who bankrolled this dossier and here we are ten months into this investigation and we still dont know that. I think thats a problem. That the American People, and i would think democrats want to get to the bottom of this. Theres a conventional wisdom in the media, this is from cnn, Congressional Republicans have watched in a combination of wonderment and terror as trump has swerved all over the political world. On tuesday, republicans finally took some action, during one of the only things left to them, they launched investigations of the past administration and the last democratic president ial nominee. Look. Ill put simple numbers here. 90 of the media in this town is not just left but hard left and they become very vocal, and anything that has anyone to say they attack as somebody who gets attacked by them on a daily basis. Then theres about 5 , i put you in this category, but are very fair, and theres another 5 that are hard right. The president has really no chance in this town with the media after them all the time. But that has nothing to do with the fact of the matter is, we are trying to get answers. The American People should want the answers of who paid for the dossier, and wasnt used by the Justice Department for warrants or was it used for any part of this investigation . Those are important questions we need to answer along with going back to the first topic, i think people need to know whether or not there was any involvement by the russian government to sway favor with u. S. Government agencies. As you stand there tonight, you have not seen anything that shows collusion. And luck. This is what ive said. Set it last month and even today on your show, there still is no evidence of collusion between trump and the russians. And you know what, if there is, ill be the first to come out and say, heres what we found, and i think its a big problem, and i would turn it over to Robert Muller and his investigation. We appreciate your time. It will follow both investigations closely. Thank you. The first commander of the Space Shuttle challenger has died.

If youre looking at the west wing doors as the Investigation Continues into the deadly ambush of u. S. Soldiers in africa earlier this month. Another of the widows tells her story. Its the first Public Comment from the wife of Staff Sergeant brian black who died in niger pretty he was incredible. Even just this year i was thinking, 12 years, you know, has flown by and i dont think 50 will be enough. You know . But ill take 12. Thats good. Michelle blocks at her husband gave her the best years of her life, the best gifts of her life, 11 and 9yearold sons, boys who now realize their father is not coming home. Michelle says its important for them to know what kind of dad he was and what type of man he was. I know that i married a true hero. When you have true moral integrity and you care that much for other people that youre willing to put your life on the line, youre a hero. A hero he is but the nation only knows brian black as a special forces soldier killed in circumstances that remain murky. Were they randomly targeted or led into an overwhelming ambush . Michelle blocks as she eventually wants to know the details, but for now, they wont bring her husband and his fellow soldiers back. I think he knew he was probably not coming home. I think he knew that if he took a risk, some of us friends might. She is aware of the controversy surrounding both the mission and the president s conversation with the gold star wife. Though she has a different take. Im grateful that he called and that he spoke to the kids and i think the excitement from that made it a little better even just for a minute. So, yeah. He was very gracious and i appreciate anyone who calls because, like i said, that takes quite a bit of bravery to call into that situation. She points out the military is a very tight knit community and as hard as it was for her to lose her husband she actually agonized over the death of the other three soldiers because she knew their wives and their children. Brecht . So sad. Thanks. The senate has just passed a 36 and half billion dollar Disaster Relief bill providing relief for hurricanes harvey, irma, and maria. Now goes to the oval office for the president s signature. Today the dow gained 168 to finish at another record close. The nasdaq jumped a dozen bread it is a federal agency ill hear some describe as the most powerful in america. Its unelected and powerful director is now rumored to be harboring ambitions to run for office and his critics are sharpening their knives once more. James rosen fills in the blanks. For nearly six years, Richard Cordray has been the face of the Consumer Financial protection bureau, the first and only director of an agency created by congress and obama during the great reception. Its stated mission is to advocate on behalf of consumers in the Labyrinth Financial Services sector. Weve returned almost 12 billion to 29 Million Consumers all over the country in every state, and every district, and imposed about 600 million in civil penalties. Speak up but with him reportedly mulling the bed, their report the agency awarded to a democratic ad firm that said both the clintons and obama. They perceived payouts from the civil penalty fund. The account funded by judgments against banks and other financial institutions. Its the single most powerful agency and the federal government and the director is installed with more power than anyone in the federal government other than the president. That, critics say, is because the agencys budget comes from the Federal Reserve but not combustion, congressional appropriation and until recently the director could only be removed by the president. It last year a threejudge panel ruled their structure is unconstitutional, holding that the director can be removed by the president with or without cause. Either way i believe the president is clearly justified in dismissing you and i call upon the president yet again to do just that and to do it immediately. Some believe the white house has not moved for fear of enhancing his political prospects. His term is up next year. Well see whether he serves it out or not but will be replacing him either way. In a rare move, the treasury this week reposed a rule opposed a rule which would make it easier for customers to join class action lawsuits. Conservatives consider this rule a gift to lawyers who, along with lobbyists, donated over a Million Dollars in ohios last race. Interesting. Thank you. Some big changes tonight in saudi arabia. The crowned prince said the country will go back to what he calls moderate islam. He says he wants young saudis to live in harmony with the rest of the world. We want to live a normal life, a life that translates our moderate religion, our good customs. We coexist and live with the world and contribute to the development of our country and the world. There are steps we have taken in the past that are clear, i believe we will eradicate the rest of extremism really soon. He also announced a new 500 billion city to be built in the countrys northwest that will be run entirely on alternative energy and be an Innovation Hub for the future, creating, the saudi say, opportunities for companies around the globe. China is evaluating the status of their president , the Ruling Communist Party has made him chinas most powerful ruler in decades. The moves come at the close of twice a Decade Congress governing alongside rank and file party members. It comes just five years into his reign as leader. When we come back here to the white house, the panel reacts to republicans turning on each other over trump. Because politics can make us silent when we should speak and silence could equal complicity, i have children and grandchildren to answer to end so, mr. President , i will not be complicit or silent. Based on previous statements and certainly based on the lack of support that he has from the people of arizona, its probably a good move. Do you think hes debasing the nation . I dont think theres any question. When he gets that hes going to hit back and i think senator corker knows that and hes maybe trying to get a headline or two on his way out the door. Pretty remarkable day with two republican senators speaking out pretty aggressively against their publican president one obviously is trying to get tax reform across the finish line and needs those votes. Senator corker obviously wasnt running for reelection already but stepping up the rhetorical battle between the president , heres another senator about whether that effects votes. People get mad sometimes unreasonable people have a motion sometimes unreasonable people say things sometimes that they shouldnt say. But i dont believe for one second that jeff flake or bob corker or john mccain or anybody else would allow their personal feelings to impact whats best for this country. Thats what i believe and you can write that down and take it home to mom. Take it home to mama. Lets bring in our piano. Captain lucy, white house reporter, from our washington bureau, laura ingraham, host of the ingram angle which premieres on monday, and former White House Press secretary ari fleischer. Let me start with you. It was an amazing day as it developed bread then kind of a tweet rhetorical volley back and forth. I think were starting to coin new words, yes, weve been through about five new cycles already i think and, yes, you saw him engaging in a war of words right before he was heading to the capital to talk about what is a key priority for him and republicans which is tax reform. By all accounts, and his latest tweet suggests he had Standing Ovations and senators got along in that meeting. There certainly was, i was in the hallway outside the meeting, there was applause. Weve heard some folks talk about the meeting saying that it was a good conversation but this is a tax plan that we still have yet to hear key details on, they havent worked everything out, we saw that this week, the backandforth about how they would treat 4o1 kays. So theres a lot of work to do. Laura, your thoughts . I think that, thinking of someone like jeff flake, in his own state he would not have one his primary challenge against kelly ward. I was there on tuesday and it was obvious on the ground there that there was just no constituency for his open borders, endless war, trade deals that are very imbalanced. There was no constituency for that and i understand hes angry about the election. He didnt vote for trump. This is a continuation of last years primary and it still playing out and the establishment is striking back and im not surprised that they are. They dont like the populist conservative movement and that seems to be whats gaining steam and i think he is won most of these arguments over the past ten months with the establishment but he still does need them so its a balance that he has to play here as well. I dont know how you can look at events today and not declare that he won and steve bannon wo won. They like the people inside the party, and these people are not running for reelection because trump has chased him out of the party. Go back to the party, and 16 candidates, many of them cut from the same cloth couldnt compete with trump. They got 80 of all republican votes cast in that primary. Establishment candidates got less than 20 from the beginning to the very end. Now you are seeing that manifestation play out in the senate. What i have my hard time wrapping my head around is they said you must fight, stop, stand up to trump but then they dont run. It seems to me if you feel that fervently about standing up to fight then you go through your primary and you prove that you can move republicans to your direction but instead of fighting they yielded and thats i think its a victory for donald trump. Let me ask about these tweets and whether the pushback, the counterpunch or that trump is, is effective in this environment. Bob corker who helped obama give us a bad iran deal, couldnt get elected dog catcher in tennessee is now fighting tax cuts, goes on to say that corker dropped out of the race when i refused to endorse him and now is only negative on anything trump, look at his record. Hes pushed back, obviously, and whenever anything critical is that he pushes back, but in this environment when you have to get something across the finish line, does that work . But look what was across the finish line that helped bring about this and result. A New York Times story on october 20th came out that site republicans consider sharp cuts in 401 k contribution limits. The president then tweeted were never going to let that happen, we are not changing 4o1 kays and then senator parker advised the president , stay out of tax policy, dont get into it. Frankly i think this is where he used a tweet on policy quite effectively and he was hearing then from a senator, dont put your nose and congressional business, and i can understand congressman wanting the president not to get involved but in this case if the party had gone down that road, his tweet probably saved the party from hurting themselves badly. One thing we should remember, and listening to what we heard today, if you didnt hear his voice, this could be a speech that was delivered by nancy pelosi. This could have been a speech delivered by chuck schumer. Almost everything with the process focusing on, not that hes that conscious of the conservative movement, its the tone, the vitriol. He lost. His view of conservatism is receding. Maybe it will come back someday but right now the middle class in america is tired of getting kicked to the curb and if youre going to work for big business than you might as well just go work for big business that he should go work for big business and in the meantime people are going to focus on ordinary americans working every day for a living, people who turned out to vote. You have to advance this agenda and if you dont advance the agenda and if you speak ill of him more often than you speak ill of any random democrat, is probably not going to work out all that well for you right now. He will stamp his feet but i dont think its going to make his viewpoint, his views more popular within the republican ranks. Senator flank wrote a book called conscience of a conservative and it was pretty critical of trump. Obviously that title, sharing from arizona, Barry Goldwater who, after he lost the race did stay in the senate for many, many years afterwards and ran again. I guess thats the criticism, is why not run if youre standing up on principle . These lawmakers are making the decision that this is not a productive place for them to be but it does, what weve been talking about here and what weve seen today, it does speak to the divide in the party which are not good to get worked out today, and how does this white house figured a way to work with the senate while also, its trying to advance candidates that they see as being on their agenda.

Bret moments after that interview with the house Intelligence Committee chairman, the Washington Post moved the stories, singular Clinton Campaign and the Democratic NationalCommittee HelpFund Research that resulted in the nowfamous, or infamous, dossier containing allegations about Donald Trumps connections to russian and possible coordination between his campaign and the kremlin. People familiar with the matter said. In other words, the Clinton Campaign and the dnc. In the meantime, the creators of that dossier, fusion gps have been trying to prevent investigators from looking into how it was funded. Theyve been in court in a d. C. Circuit court. Back with the panel, this is significant, this moves the ball. This is huge. Im going to tell you why. This entire jim comey, the mueller investigation. This is based on the idea of donald trump colluding with the russians. Now we know, however, that Hillary Clinton, the dnc, the Clinton Campaign, they were involved in paying for this dossier that was contained information that was compiled by the kremlin. Christopher steele found out that the kremlin was investigating donald trump, supposedly. We dont know about what to believe about the what the salacious obligations were, but Hillary Clinton, the democrats were happy to take that information. This is the kremlin investigating, or getting dirt, on an american political candidate. We were all worried about this meeting, some two bit russian lawyer had with donald trump jr. When we have the democrats paying for a kremlin designed, in part, dossier. Compiled by this character. It gets better, jim comey takes that dossier to president obama in january and says, look, we have this. They wanted to keep this thing going until it was shut down. There were going to keep paying Christopher Steele to dig out more information on donald trump. And a collusion that are talking about, i think Hillary Clinton, the democrats with the sleazy guy and russia together, all of this and now i know why they were trying to prevent this information from coming out. I guess we know why they went to court. Bret we should point out, obviously this is a report for the Washington Post. We fox dont have it independently confirmed, but there are number of them investigations on the hill the codons of the road. Absolutely. Think we will all be looking into this report, which literally dropped minutes ago, and i do think its certainly a headline that this white house might want to circulate, among others. These investigations have continued. There are multiple looks into what has happened in the 2016 race, and the president had expressed extreme frustration. We know that he has been frustrated, he has been insisting there was no collusion. He has called this a witch hunt. This may give him an opportunity to try and change the conversation. Bret we are not even talking about the uranium Investigation Continues as well, but what about this news if the Washington Post is correct . Theres a governmental side of this that troubles me. We now know that a president ial campaign in the United States paid for International Dirt that ended up going through americas intelligence agencies as well as james comeys fbi under president obama where they all treated it with credibility and seriousness to the point where it rose into a president ial daily brief, the most sacred of president ial briefings, the point where they hold a special briefing for president elect trump to advise him about what the elected russians had on him. Only to learn now that the source of this, the funding for, the impetus behind it was Hillary Clintons campaign. Hillary clintons campaign, in effect, bamboozled americas intelligence agencies and the information flowed and rose to the very top levels. This is very troubling that the fbi, they didnt know the origin of this came from Hillary Clintons campaign. Why didnt james comey know that, if he did, why didnt he discount this gimmick bret dont you with your show started tonight . No. It kills me but it didnt start tonight. This is law, politics, entry, its great. Bret tune in monday at 10 00 p. M. Thank you, panel.

Bret a new dog named nemo. Even World Leaders have to deal with the basics of pet biology. He was meeting in paris with a few junior ministers when nemo made quite the entrance. You can see maybe one of the junior ministers noticed nemo in the background as the dog relief themselves on the fireplace. There could have been worst places in that room. All were in good spirits, they all laughed it off as you can see. He claims this is the first time nemo has done this, cest la vie. Thanks for inviting us into your home tonight, thats it for the special report, fair, balanced and unafraid. Martha maccallum in new york. Martha breaking tonight, make no mistake, the political earthquake that began on november 8th of last year is still sending aftershocks. Today the latest was this one from senator jeff flake of arizona. It must also be said that i arrive today with no small measure of regret. Regret because of the state of our union. Regret because of the disrepair and destructiveness of our politics. Regret because of the discourse. Regret because of the coarseness of our leadership. Martha this echoes the words and the decision, really, of senator bob corker, who was also taken himself out of the running for his
