Clintons closest advisers concerning benghazi related material, all of it. Joining me now to talk about the case against comey molars witchhunt and more retired Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer senior fellow in the London Center for policy. Good to have you here. Thank you for having me. Lou first your reaction to the comey investigation come Inspector General. This is validation of what you and i have spoken about. Its like an iceberg. You can see the top but you know theres more in this case this is more like having a wonderful victorian house and all of a sudden you start chipping away the paint and its all riddled with termites. James comey had this pristine image. We know he wrote two months in advance to get out of jail free card for Hillary Clinton. In addition to that. Lou and the fbi top officials had to know that. For him not to come forward and not to have said anything to me suggests that this fbi at its upper level, its Senior Management levels, i mean there is a horrible corrupt atmosphere that would allow that kind of conduct by the fbi director. Thats the issue. All the stations were supposedly upset when comey laughs. I havent found one because everybody recognize before calmly left there was a double standard. Theres a standard or leadership which is very low and the standard for everybody else. Ive had friends of mine, at vi agents slammed over minor transgressions in here lou we are talking about the worst case james comey violating his secrecy oath relating to secret material and some of the things he leaked to the media i would argue concert to classified information. Lou the email scandal itself, to exonerate her two months in advance and for him to pit it on the investigators on the case we are told without question the field agents believe there should the a constitutional minimum and the fact of the matter is the Clinton Foundation was never investigated and its an obvious payforplay scam that was perpetrated over number of years by a former president and the then secretary of state. I think this is the issue now. We need to have Jeff Sessions jump in and do his job as special prosecutor should be looking at the issue relating to the throwing of the investigation of the email and the clinton investigation. Lou ive got to be honest with you i have a belly full of special prosecutors. Why not the Justice Department . Why not the Inspector General x. Why not go after these people for violation of their oath of office in the corruption that is absolutely manifest . Someone highly qualified who would be willing to jump in and do an incredible job and they would follow the facts for ascend above that you have prosecutors who are willing to come in and do the same thing that i would argue you could do this if the leadership allowed the system to work. Lou Jeff Sessions one allow it to work . Im saying you should get a firebrand prosecutor who has fire in his or her valley who can do this based on the letter of the law and application era. He doesnt have to find a partisan to do this. Im telling you lou all he has to do is go to his resources and find someone whos motivated to do it and let loose. Lou its clear in the Justice Department is very day the partisans are Obama Administration holdovers that are wreaking havoc with the Justice Department that should be on the balls of its seat and going after incident after incident. Its a terrible situation and hopefully as you suggest attorney general sessions will be energized. And if he cant, step aside. Lou all right im going to drag my feet on this one. I want to see that Justice Department, live and its belly be fired also because the job needed. Lieutenant colonel Tony Schaefer good to have you.

President trump today warning north korea again that the latest sanctions approved by the United Nations are only the beginning. President trump made those comments during a meeting with malaysias prime minister. We had a vote yesterday on sanctions. We think its just another small step, not a big deal. I dont know if it has the it has an impact but certainly it was nice to get a 150 vote. Those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen. Lou the president calling on all nations to get involved and to lift their efforts in prohibiting north korea from continuing its development of Nuclear Weapons and Ballistic Missiles. Joining me to discuss the president s warning to north korea the impact of the sanctions and much more former cia analyst Senior Vice President for policy and programs at the center for secure policy. Fred good to have you with us. It to be here. Lou the president himself styling these steps as if you will only the beginning. What is it going to take and are sanctions of any kind going to be adequate . I like what i heard today. Likely i am sure you are tired of hearing the ministries and say that they have had the toughest sanctions ever against north korea that will cause them real pain and they would have been tougher if it wasnt for china and russia. The Obama Administration said that because they didnt care about this conflict. They did want to solve it. They just wanted to be seen doing something they when other nations cheated to what i think President Trump is doing hes trying to exhaust all the normal options before he tries more drastic options including things like shooting down north korean missiles. I think its a good strategy. Lou the president has made it clear that he is not going to be an appeaser and then accommodate her or her conciliatory present when it comes to dealing with kim jongun. At the same time there is a lot to work through here and nothing more important than the role of china and in making clear to china that we understand its role in assisting supporting and enabling the North Koreans to improve their Ballistic Missile technology and at the same time advance their nuclear weaponry. This has got to stop. What will it take to get chinas attention and insistent cooperation that leads to dealing with north korea and their firm and decisive manner . I think we have to stipulate that the present is incredibly destabilizing the planet u. S. President goes along with week week and pats himself on the back and walks away. Mr. Trump is not doing that and i think the chinese and the North Koreans hear him very clearly that these u. N. Security Council Resolutions are a very early first step and hes ratcheting up the pressure. I dont think the chinese want that and i think they seen the future possible sanctions against chinese firms and mary b. Maybe drastic sanctions against the chinese government. Lou the treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin has made it clear that the administration will in fact bring sanctions to china itself. The president has talked about the prospect of eliminating trade with china. Do you believe that this administration has the will and the strength and the confidence to do precisely that if china does not take responsibility for what is created on its border . I believe it will and i believe it has to. If north korea has a Hydrogen Bomb Nuclear Weapons and icbms that could hit the United States this is an offensive force to attack the United States, drive us out of asia and reunite korea under the norths leadership. We cant let that happen. Lou and the exposure particularly in south korea but also other allied nations including japan. The prospect of a conflict widens beyond a few hours. Its unthinkable in terms of the casualties that will result. What is the solution they are . Well, we do not want a war in asia and i think thats why the Trump Administration is wise to check every box, go down every peaceful avenue before we get to that point. I think by doing that we bring in our allies if the day comes where we have to take military action against the north which i pray never happens. Lou fred, thanks so much. Sid great to be here.
