there was just a story that came outside normal channels a back doorway and this was really even if this would have meant anything it s not enough to start an investigation, but they got it improperly or to irregular channels it was very inadequate information and they used that to begin an fbi counterintelligence investigation of a presidential campaign, and then, later on, in march when director comey announced on national television before a committee hearing that the president s campaign was being investigated as if this was a major announcement, and we go back to look at it, it was based on basically gossip, it did not come through normal channels, it did not warrant an investigation and also james comey was giving the country the impression the president was being investigated even though he knew the president was not being investigated but refused to make that public so this all is a very shameful chapter in the history of the fbi. maria: these people are sitting
signs when it comes to the fisa process, that the clinton e-mail investigation was unprofessional ly handled, that it was a bias that the fbi got off track the department of justice used information to get a warrant that was highly unreliable and they need to reform their business practices but he can t subpoena people outside the department of justice. he has no ability to prosecute people and i really believe that mr. steele may have committed a crime here. he told the british court that he shared the dossier with the world press. he told the fbi he never shared the information with media outlets. maria: right. what i want to know is did the fbi agents in question who are outliers in terms of the fbi , did they come up with an insurance policy to help guarantee an outcome of an election? if that s true if they were even thinking about doing that, that scares me as much as anything russia whose ever done. maria: well that is an incredible abuse of power do you think we ll see any
accountability here senator? if we don t it will be a terrible day for the system. the department of justice cannot investigate itself. you re going to have to have somebody come in with fresh view of this, has nobody to reward, nobody to punish, the inspector general is limited institutional ly as to what he can do but i am really intent on having new eyes look at what happened to the department of justice and the fbi because they can t investigate themselves. maria: so when will we know whether or not we re getting a second special counsel? i can t believe its taken this long. maria: yeah. look what we know. we know steele lied about the role he played in handling the dossier. we know that the fbi agent in charge of the clinton e-mail investigation was a complete political hack. we know that information was whitewashed and we know that comey had made a decision to letter off long before he said he did, so there s a political bias here that needs to be looked at and there s pote
access to the truth about fisa abuses. we all know the clinton e-mail investigation was a sham but comey struk, mcgabe, probably loretta lynch part of fit putting the fix in. the fbi and doj used unverified, they re not true. clinton pot and paid for dossier russian lies to get a fisa judge to spy on carter paige and allowed them to spy on the trump campaign. the mul bulk of the fisa investigation was made up of the phony clinton dossier, full of russian government lies and propaganda. as andrew mccabe testified, without no dossier, it never would have even been a fisa warrant application. as for mccabe, his comments after being fired, well to put his buddy james comey in serious legal jep si, mccabe writes the oig investigation is focused on
sean: pretty outrageous. you want to talk about enriching yourself? did you forget about the 145 million that poured into your family foundation, bill doubling his speaking fees in russia as it relates to and given the speech for vladimir putin and the uranium one scandal? you may want to stop talking. a lot of news coming your direction. breaking tonight, huge news to tell you about. mr. deep state himself, james comey and other corrupt government officials should be worried tonight. politico is reporting the house judiciary chairman bob goodlatte is getting ready to issue a subpoena for documents that the doj has about the corrupt fbi, clinton e-mail investigation. 1.2 million documents. this is significant. because the deputy attorney general, rod rosenstein has been doing everything within his power to not let the public, not
