Lou Steve Harrigan reporting from san juan. Now, this is the latest video of the Central Region of mexico hit by a 7. 1 magnitude earthquake yesterday. Rescuers in mexico city and much of the pueblo province in mexico. At least 225 people were killed in the earthquake. Dozens of buildings collapsed including homes, schools and Office Buildings and the efforts to clear away the debris of those collapsed buildings continuing at this hour. This earthquake came two weeks after a magnitude 8. 1 hit mexico city. Yesterday also the 30 30second anniversary of an earthquake that killed as many as 10,000 people back in 1985. Mexicos president has declared three days of national mourning. President trump offering assistance to mexico during a call with the mexican president today. The president today with an enormous plebus the schedule also announced he has made a decision on what to do about the Iranian Nuclear deal but the public will have to wait to hear what his decision is. Have you decided . I have to tell you i will let you know. Lou his comments coming a day after the president and a highly praised speech to the General Assembly called that agreement and embarrassment to the United States and promised we all would learn much more from the white house on the matter. Interestingly the worlds leaders were not in new york city to hear the president s speech. Chinese xi jinping and Russias Putin and germanys chancellor angola markel are remaining at home. Stunning new developments in the leftwing crusade to intimidate and discredit the president and his associates. The witchhunt that began in the Obama Administrations intelligence operations and continued to this day in the form of special counsel Robert Muellers runaway rush appropriate today we learned russias dragnet has extended to the man who appointed him and supposedly oversees his investigation as of special counsel. That man is Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein. He was interviewed in the summer by muellers team. Rosenstein offered the memorandum justifying the firing of a and calling for that firing firing, the document that he said he stands by to this very day. We also learned muellers assembly of what appeared to be democratic attorneys with ties to the obama and clinton regimes are going back more than a decade now, trying to find some evidence of wrongdoing on the part of former Trump Campaign manager Paul Manafort scrutinizing his business deals all the way back to 2006. This comes just two days after we learned that the fbi indeed had been wiretapping manafort before and after the election, kline first made by President Trump and some republican lawmakers acclaimed it was was vehemently denied by the obama Intelligence Team until now. Wiretapped covers a lot of different things. I think you can find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks. Let me be clear, i have been saying this for several weeks, we know that there was not a wiretap of trump tower however its still possible that other surveillance activities were used against President Trump and his associates. Lou there was no such wiretap to be mounted against the president and the president elect at the time as a candidate or against his campaign. Lou as if all of that was not enough we also discovered today that president obamas ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power went on an unmasking spree in the final year of the administration. Fox news reports power as for confidential identities to be revealed in more than 260 incidences. The final request comes just days before President Trumps inauguration. Joining me now to talk about the Obama Administrations shocking, shocking surveillance, the leaders of two of its intelligence agencies and what he thinks is going on in this environment and why they are so much much attention being paid to what has been a futile year and a half of searching by investigators into collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia and an absolute dismissal of all that was done under president obama. We are joined by retired Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer a senior fellow for the London Center for policy research. Lets start tony if we may with these revelations. We now know, we knew john brennan was lying. We had every sense the clapper was lying. These men are lying as a matter of course and they have led two of the most important intelligence agencies in this country. Why is there not a full on investigation and im talking about grand are injuries. Im talking about going after these people to find out who the hell they think they are and whether or not this is the most corrupt government in american history. Lets cut to the chase. This is all about vengeance. Most of these folks are with Hillary Clinton. This is the deep state trying to organize itself. First off they didnt say they would think they would be copied all all of the shenanigas that weathered about that of never been disclosed so fortunately for us we have President Trump who first off has identified the fact that he was indeed wiretapped and under the greatest possible terms surveilled and now we are learning about the scope of it. To your point about what to do i have been in consultation with a number of folks behind the scenes on this and there are some key issues that i dont think mr. Comey, mr. Mueller are aware of regarding some of the mistakes made in the past really on their watch. I think there are issues that need to be looked at by a new Investigative Team to examine their own wrongdoing. Some of this goes back as far as the 9 11 attempt so we have got to be very much aware that these folks have a deep history going back to that timeframe, the late 90s. They worked together through the entire timeframe and now what you see is essentially bitterness in the form of organized bureaucratic investigations, trying to make mr. Trumps presidency a failure. I think it should be put back on them. Lou the subversion of the Trump Administration is obvious. Its transparent to the point as you say these folks never dreamed that would either case but the greater issue to me now is how close our intelligence agencies and this is deeply disturbing. It rises beyond a permanent government the deep state whatever you want to call it and goes to a government as President Trump said himself as a candidate. Its rigged and this is rigged against the president , a duly elected government that is being aided and abetted a donor class and the establishment of both parties in the leadership particularly of the Republican Party particularly on capitol hill. This is an organized attack of a sitting president. Let me link something that your audience may be as a noted. One of the reasons we had so many foreignpolicy failures is because president obama and then rhodes, susan rice they all turned the power of our intelligence Collection System on us, on the American People on political rivals so that is what you are seeing here. To your point the corruption goes deep. We are talking about jim clapper who i continue to believe is because he will do whatever he is told. John brennan. Lou did you work for jim clapper . I did work for jim clapper and when he was the director of the cia i was overseeing the clandestine intelligence program. I had to brief him on several programs at lou im telling you i was with the jake tonight briefed the man. Unless someone is holding his hand feeding him information please been so successful in the role he played in the Obama Administration. He would do what he was told and he could care less as we have seen. He lied to the American People. Lou so did john brennan and susan rice. All of them. This was an organized Administration Intent on working against the National Interest of the United States. There is no other rationale for what we have witnessed. We are organized to go after then thats the next step by the president. Lou i would hope urgently so. Lieutenant colonel Tony Schaefer good to have you with us. We are coming right back. A lot more ahead and not all of it is pleasant but we hope you will stay us nonetheless. We will be right back. Special Counsel Robert Mueller unchecked, outofcontrol and now he is even interviewing his own boss. They have phony witchhunts going against me. They have everything going in you know what . All we do is win. Lou next will take up the neverending witch hunt against President Trump dont let dust and allergens get between you and lifes beautiful moments.

Lou the special counsel has not exceeded its authority and just how corrupt are the leaderships of a number of our intelligence agencies . We are joined now by the president of the Judicial Watch and he is leading much of the charge wind out what happened in the Obama Administration and what some of these Government Agencies have been doing against the interest of the American People. Tom good to have you here. K lou good to be with you. Lou lets start with these revelations today the reporting that bob mueller the special counsel interviewed Rod Rosenstein the Deputy Attorney general who is his boss. He has oversight over mueller and the special counsel and get after an interview rosenstein doesnt recuse himself. Mueller just moves ahead. What is going on here . Mueller is investigating himself in my view because the firing of comey led to his appointment. Comeys leaking of information led to his appointment and sessions recused himself almost immediately from anything of substance as it relates to this whole russia scandal and so we are faced with a constitutional mess over at the Justice Department where rosenstein is being interviewed by the guy he is supposed to be supervising in theory. Lou but who he also appointed. Right and the only reason he appointed him is because sessions recused himself so by rosensteins own light he shouldnt be there either supervising mueller. Let me say this i think the special counsel regulations and muellers appointment are constitutionally suspect. Mueller isnt really a u. S. Attorney. He is not a u. S. Attorney. He is not supervised on a daytoday basis by rosenstein art anyone else at doj. At best he can be fired afterthefact that he doesnt have to go to them for permission to issue a subpoena or. Manaforts home for guns and things like that. Lou guns drawn. Guns drawn. Who does he work for . He doesnt work for the American People. Hes an appointed bureaucrat who has powers that i dont think he should be able to. Lou you may not think that an i may not think that and millions of americans cant think that because justice in america and the way this thing is proceeding. We have seen previous special counsels. This one has gone so far beyond his charter that its stunning and the leadership of the senate senate, Republican Leadership of the senate, Republican Leadership of the house are not raising their hand in a moment to say we really need to have some discussion here about the way youre comporting yourself and the way you are moving ahead ahead. This has been under investigation as you well know, the socalled collusion for more than a year by the fbi and now for five months by the socalled special counsel. The American People have got to be wondering after watching clapper lying again, watching brandons lies unfold before us what in the world is this government, so call that was left behind by barack obama, how corrupt is it . Well you know when you have the leader of the opposition, manafort close to President Trump whether it are outside the campaign being surveilled by the Obama Administration you really have improper intervention in the elections. It goes back to his 2012. Obama used the irs. Robert muellers at the i collaborated with the irs to figure out ways to prosecute various groups the irs is targeting. And in the successful effort to steal the election 2012. 2016 rolls around and you have got the fbi and doj protecting Hillary Clinton and targeting donald trump. In an unsuccessful effort to intervene in the election. Mueller himself as a witness. He interviewed for the job. He interviewed for the job. Lou i understand. What i dont understand is what can we do about it . These people are not just going to sit here and be rolled over again by a corrupt federal government. We need to make sure the officials who have the public trust and responsibility step up to the plate. Lou who would that be, tom . Are they going to turn to the speaker of the house, Senate Majority leader . Are you going to turn to the intelligence agencies, the Law Enforcement agency that is the fbi whose leaders are so corrupt that it is so disgusting, most americans cant even stomach the idea. I think its sessions doesnt step up and im recuse himself in take control over this rogue special counsel investigation the president should exercise his authority under the constitution to police the Justice Department and remove mr. Mueller. Lou at this point he would be eaten alive by his own party. That really isnt a possibility for him in the near term. I dont know what else to do. Hes a responsible official. Sessions recused himself and maybe he will under recuse himself and do the right things but mueller is reported today to the white house everything and to the sun in terms of President Trumps firing the general plan and mr. Comey. The white house has been torn asunder by this investigation and its compromise from the beginning. Lou we have to go but what we are watching in my judgment is the establishment which owns both Polit
