that bias and about his role in both investigations. bill: let me ask you a specific question. you believe he was biased. that s clear based on your answer. did that bias affect the decisions he made directing agents to go in a direction or perhaps more than one or two directions investigating the trump campaign because of that bias? those questions will be asked and we re very interested in hearing his answer but i will tell you that the bias which was clearly against donald trump and for hillary clinton is reflected in the actions that were taken by the f.b.i. in both those investigations. they leaned over backwards to give her special treatment that no other criminal suspect would receive. and in the trump case they leaned forward to launch an investigation. the roots of which we need to learn a lot more about.
campaign investigation and hillary clinton investigation. he will appear behind closed doors with the committees on capitol hill. he is not going to get immunity and invoke the fifth. lawmakers have a ton of questions. mr. strzok and ms. page. did they start an investigation the trump campaign because they had a political bias or based on legitimate evidence? the lack of transparency hasn t served the country well in any of these matters. the question goes beyond personal bias but the question of whether or not the bias peter strzok manifested itself in the form of investigative decisions. how did the whole thing get started and whether it was some form of entrapment? my question is what role did they play in the russia investigation? these investigations were going on at the same time. whether you re a liberal or conservative, republican or democrat i don t know how you look at them and say that the same quality of justice was accorded to both.
that interview and he made it very clear where they stand before they start asking the questions. listen to this. that s goodlatte. okay. i will tell you that the bias which was cleaagainst donald trump and for hillary clinton is reflected in the actions that were taken by the f.b.i. in both those investigations. sandra: clearly anti-trump bias. the chairman heading into that meeting. listen, i think the f.b.i. did both candidates a disservice. we saw seven days before the election they found random emails on hillary clinton and that hurt her campaign. peter strzok is the poster child for untransparent law enforcement. the problem in this country for decades. activists have been calling for transparency for law enforcement in the local and state department and they deserve it on capitol hill. bill: we won t know a lot
committees will finally get to hear from the man behind thousands and thousands of those anti-trump text messages when he speaks to them behind closed doors about one hour from now. strzok was one of the top agents on the clinton investigation and mueller probe before he was removed by the special counsel. bill: you have senator lindsey graham he wants to know if strzok s political bias prompted the investigatn of the trump s campaigns contacts with russia in the first place. how would you like this guy supervising a confidential informant against the trump campaign given his bias and given his dislike for president trump? he should be the last guy to go to court to get a warrant on anybody associated with the trump campaign. my question is, what role did they play in the russia investigation? bill: chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge live on the hill outside the hearing room. we begin with you. good morning. thank you, bill.
committee helps to fill in a lot of pieces in this very complex puzzle. but his report only covers the clinton matters and even those are not completely covered. so many questions about other aspects in comparing and contrasting these two investigations. that s what we re about, making sure we do not ha that kind of bias reflected in a future presidential campaign by anybody of any party and 2020 is not that far off. bill: if you think about this, if the federal bureau of investigation was investigating as to whether or not russia was meddling in a national election, why would that information not be shared with the campaign that was targeted? that s a very good question. and we are going to as we proceed here and we have a number of high-level witnesses that are becoming up here in the next several weeks. we have the f.b.i. director and
