specifically about the alleged affair. my take is he should add defendants to that lawsuit. michael cohen. because he certainly breached the confidentiality agreement by going out there and telling the bastion of reporters he paid $130,000 of his own money and his press secretary at the white house who talked about a private arbitration the president was a party to that was not supposed to be anything but confidential. we re here again not because of anything that stormy daniels areva, you know how much i respect you. i don t think they outmaneuvered trump. trump s own people did him in. we wouldn t be here if michael cohen hadn t made the pronouncement that he had paid $130,000 of his own money without his client knowing about it, which we know is an ethical violation. it makes the agreement unenforceable. the press secretary of the white house talking about the private arbitration that the president was victorious in.
unquote, had the goods on donald trump and it was a way to shut him up. which frankly now i think it s going to do the opposite? scott, what do you think? i think they appear to be well within their rights to do it based on the fact he lied to internal investigators, the guy is going to get due process. it doesn t blow out his entire pension. we re in for a battle royal between mccabe who s trying to portray himself as being the victim of a political hit job and the internal investigators at doj who filed a report that was pretty damning so we need to see that document and we want to see how this plays out. i think the doj has got to get out to the public the facts behind his misleading investigator tors because i think to the extent trump is going to get blamed for this, it can be mitt dw can be mitigated by the facts as they come out if he did mislead internal investigators
launched, the left launched about donald trump and his administration sean: wait, obama said it could never happen. he said no serious person would ever believe it. until, of course, hillary lost. but let s translate. let s translate what we now know. this is the ultimate information operations campaign. vladimir putin managed to place russian disinformation, lies, about a presidential candidate in to the u.s. system through hillary clinton, through her lawyer, through the d.n.h. into the justice through the d.n.c. in the justice system so it landed in front of the fisa court judge. that s the enormity of what we are talking about. sean: 40 seconds, michelle malkin. the worst part is they knew from the beginning and the only person that gave us russian lies in themca pain was hillary. hillary clinton. that is right. the clinton cash machine that
there. dianne feinstein, joe manchin, even maxine waters said smoke, no fire. there was never any evidence of collusion. it was always a hoax. the f.b.i. knew this. but nevertheless, they tried to be really clever. they launched a counterintelligence probe that gave them more latitude. they used that as a pretext to investigate donald trump as a criminal and his associates. all of these accusations by the media and democrats with the hair on fire amounted to nothing. carter page giving a speech in moscow. the trump tower meeting with the russian lawyer. bar talk with papadopoulos. sean: hearsay. four-way. all of these things are not crimes. collusion in a political campaign is not criminal. it s not a crime to talk to a russian. these are all normal interactions that occur if you
dead. it has been for years. tonight we have more proof. look at the recent column for the guardian. the former new york times editor jill abram shows her liberal bias writing, it s easy to look at what is happening in d.c. in despair. that is why i carry a plastic obama doll in my purse. i pull him out every now and then and remind myself that the united states had a progressive african-american president until very recently. some people find this strange. you think? you have to take comfort where you can find it in donald trump s america. really? an obama comfort doll. we have to get one to chris matthews asap. he can get thrills up his leg. first joining us to react to the top story. the house intel member chris stewart and fox news contributor jason chaffetz. congressman, stewart, i look
