well, i think he can be trusted. nobody doubted my trust or my ability to be fair when i supported mueller. the people who are worried about this are worried about being exposed for taking the law in their own hands, it doesn t surprise me that the people we are looking at, they don t want transparency, we are not compromising national security here. we are trying to create a system to make sure this never happens again by shedding light on what happened with the fisa warrant process, counterintelligence investigation, did they have a lawful reason to surveil president trump s campaign and did they lie to fisa court, every american would want to find that out. other big story in washington this week is the extraordinary war of words between president trump and speaker pelosi. the president ended up saying ha house democrats have a choice, they can either legislate or investigate, here he is. i walked into the room and i told senator schumer, speaker
remember this andrew mccabe didn t go to the bathroom without the approval of leaking james comey. on the same program of sean hannity,ea lindsey graham discussed the investigation he s planning. i ll be s looking at two things. i ll beo look at before electi and after a the election. be looking whether or not the warrant process was abused. i ll be looking as to whether or not the counter intelligence investigation was actually a back door way to get into trump campaign and the real motive was to take the campaign down and to bring criminal charges. counter intelligent investigation, sean, are designed to protect the target which was the trump examine against foreign influence. they didn t act that way. they acted do you agree with me an associate of president trump says there s talk in the
mueller will tell us about what trump did or didn t do. i m going to tell the country about mccabe and the people at the department of justice and how they behaved. did they take the law in their own hands? did they abuse the fisa warrant process, because they had a political agenda? did their hatred of trump go so far they abandoned their role of law enforcement agents and become advocates for a political cause? my panel is back. talk radio host, mark thompson on the left. erick erickson on the right. erick, isn t that a bit too far to suggest that because they are concerned that there may be an inappropriate relationship with russia, given the president firing comey, given there s been indications of meetings with russians, that they have now in some ways shirked their responsibility as investigators and that they have a deep-seated
our own gregg jarrett explains it in a new column tonight. o it means mueller s prosecutors knew that the russian lies and the dossier was a product of bias and deception. he will join us later in the program and we ll talk about it more. it also means that james comey, sally yates, rod rosenstein and all the others appeared to have made a conscious decision to make materially false statements and lie and commit a fraud on the fisa court. this must be investigated and handled. the rule of law must prevail. and actively concealing pertinent information and failing to disclose to those judges that any of this in the fisa application on carter page. they presented it as full and truthful and they knew the exact opposite. they abused the fisa warrant process, that is in violation of america s constitutional rights. and it undermines a duly elected president. now,nt remember, james comey told the president the document was unverified and salacious. well, that was in january of 2017.
melissa: [laughs] that was after president trump had weighed in on twitter yesterday morning. tweeting leaking james comey must have set a record for who lied most to congress and want a prehis friday testimony was so untruthful, the whole deal is rigged fraud headed up by dishonest people who would do anything so that i could not be. they are now exposed. a transcript was released over the weekend. it shows that comey admitted that information used to secure a warrant to surveilled members of the trump campaign was unverified. allegations of mishandling the investigation are nonsense. south carolina senator lindsey graham takes issue with comey s assessment. my biggest reaction was he made a statement after he testified that the fisa warrant process, to look into that would be sort of a joke. i don t think it s a joke at al all. that a warrant was issued based on a document paid for by
