draining of the swamp. cleaning of their image that has been so damaged. pete: when you say lacking candor. he lied under oath and said unauthorized disclosure. he is a leaker, liar and leaker. ultimately if you did that at lower levels of the fbi or military or elsewhere or general flynn, you are prosecuted for it. in this particular case you serve 21 years good for you. but if you don t conduct yourself the way you should especially when the deputy director in charge of big investigations like the hillary clinton email server investigation. ed: he was overseeing that shortly after his wife took political money from terry mcauliff. pete: you better be above board u and in this case he was not in closed doors under oath. a lot of americans understand that makes sense and restores confidence in the system. two systems for those. ed: fairness to mccabe he finally got to speak. after being dismissed and terminated he put out this statement. for the last year and a half
pete: what s it like in manhattan. it s been an honor the whole time i have served with this unit. known around the world. we go to ireland and they know us out there. and, like you said, it s just a lot of history. it is plenty of distinguished service members. plenty medal of honor recipients. the father duffy statue in times square. so, there is plenty history with this unit. pete: staff sergeant thank you for your time. thank you, sirs. pete: thank you all for your service. what s so great is the parade is celebrating irish heritage is led by military members which is so emblematic of our country. head back out to you guys. rachel: that is awesome. ed: meanwhile we have a fox news alert. former national security advisor michael flynn making his first appearance since pleading guilty to lying to the fbi. rachel: this as new explosive text messages between fbi lovers peter strzok and lisa page reveals strzok s personal relationship with the judge recused from flynn s case.
later handle, wait for it, general flynn s prosecution. so in these new texts, strzok and page discuss hosting a cocktail party with federal judge rudolph contreras who serves on the fisa surveillance court. on july 25th page writes rudy is on the fisc. did you know that? just appointed two months ago. strzok responds i did. we talked about it before and after. i need to get together with him. page continues: i can t imagine either one of you could talk about anything in detail meaningful enough to warrant recusal. strzok says really? rudy, i m in charge of espionage for the fbi. any espionage fisa warrants that come before him, what should he do? given his friend oversees them? well strzok replies he is super thoughtful and rigorous about ethics and conflicts. and suggested a social setting with others would probably be better than one on one meeting. on this saint patrick s day weekend who wouldn t prefer a cocktail. cocktail party i should say or just a cocktail.
federal crime, which leads to the other issues will he be prosecuted for lying to investigators the way that general flynn, who mccabe targeted, was prosecuted for lying to fbi agents? i tell you, this is a big blow to the deep state efforts to target president trump. mccabe now has been branded by the internal watchdogs of the agencies he has been a part of for 20 years as being less than candid. and that infects every investigation he has been involved with now. it infects the clinton email investigation, the russia investigation, the fisa warrants, all of that now. the flynn investigation. all of that is further compromised and there are a lot of reasons that have been compromised to date. now the top, number two guy at the fbi is a documented liar according to their internal watchdogs. and that s why he has been fired. i can imagine he is upset
