Release its infrasphruk chur proposal. Its a plan which already has bipartisan support. Former Reagan White House political director ed rollings will be joining us and another promise kept, the Trump Administration negotiating budget cuts for the United Nations after the International Body voted to condemn President Trumps recognition of jerusalem as i reals capital. Ambassador john bolton will be with us in moments. Again with the top story, the president taking on the corrupt fbi leadership over its use of the discredited dossier which was meant to smear donald trump during the 2016 campaign. And the president appears to be winning on that. President trump tweeting this morning that the dossier has proven to be quote, a pile of garbage after the Washington Times reported that fbi agents could not verify any of the many outrageous and salacious details in the document backed by the way and funded by democrats and the hill clinton campaign. The deputy fbi director, at the center of the trovers over collusion between the democrats and the bureau is reportedly running out the clock. Really . Hell hoping to hold on to his position until march when he can retire from the fbi with full benefits paid for by you, the taxpayers. And the president s legal team claims the clock is ticking on the special counsel investigation of trumprussia ties. Trump attorney telling the wall street journal he expects Robert Muellers probe to be over soon although he would not provide a specific date. Joining me now, christopher rale, director of investigations and researcher for judicial watch. Good to see you. The president s tweet was an understatement. Its more than a pile of garbage. We have kids watching so i wont say what i think it is. But dont you think the fbi of all agencies of anybody would want to verify at least some of it before they use it as a pretext to launch a federal criminal investigation into trumprussian collusion. But because the dossier there wasnt a scintilla of evidence of it. Failure to do so is criminal negligence on the part of the persons who dance the manufactured dossier to use it as leverage for fisa warrants. In your introyou talked about the cast of characters involved. Mccabe needs a favor, according to my understanding, to get to the march retirement date. I dont think hes eligible to retire until a little after that. So his retirement and all of the benefits that flow from it can all be administratively held. And i would recommend very strongly to the fbi director and the attorney general that any sort of retirement or any benefits that might accrue to him automatic be held in suspension until this entire matter is cleared up. Just like theres a similar instance where another very senior fbi agent i think read the handwriting on the wall and bailed out of this whole thing and then found himself a very cushy job as a Senior Vice President for a major hotel chain in this country. That individual, whose name i will withhold for the moment but maybe later on we can talk about it, that particular agent who is working for this hotel chain and driving a brandnew jaguar, he sheuld be subpoenaed and called in. And frankly the gs13 journeyman level street agents who worked for mccabe, they should be called in to testify because theyre not going to lie and purger themselves for their boss. Shouldnt all of these guys, if theyre planning to vanish into retirement with full pension benefits paid for by taxpayers, shouldnt that be held in abeyance until its finally determined whether or not they should Face Criminal Charges for things like filing a phony affidavit in support of a warrant to spy or whether they were participating in obstruction of justice in clearing Hillary Clinton and targeting donald trump. I mean those, as you and i talked before, those are potential crimes. Exactly. And these are measures that can be taken administratively. Look, if they were on their investigation, whether it takess six months or three years and they decide, you know what . We cleared you. You were just an unfortunate bystander, well then fine, they get all of their pay and benefits, even if its backdated. Thats great. But this person or these persons, plural, should not collect a dime if they have been engaged in misconduct and attempting to overturn or thwart the election of the president of the United States. Gregg there are two reports that im looking forward to. One is the Inspector General of the United States who is looking into alleged wrongdoing by james comey, lisa paige, maybe mccabe, Vickie James Baker and baker who has since been reassigned. All of these guys are fbi players in the exoneration of Hillary Clinton notwithstanding compelling evidence she violated the law. So when you hear that devon kn nunaz is talking about issuing a report on fbi corruption, that would be a long report i in my judgment. How about yours . The Justice Department is utterly gutness. A guy named dan berkhart sat on criminal negligence in el paso texas. I know this first hand. Im not guessing at it. Ive looked at this case for over six years. There is people like beckhart running around, the deputy. You have to hope that wh horowiz has enough guts. His report is supposed to come out in the next couple of months. Maybe. And theres good evidence the Intelligence Committee will be coming out with a report as well and maybe a separate report on fbi corruption. So i mean there is some hope for those who feel as though this entire thing was rigged, rigging it, fixing it so Hillary Clinton was absolved and launching an investigation of trump with no evidence. Yeah. I would temper everyones expectations. Look, many, many, not all, but many inspectors general are really the department of coverups. All right . Their attempt is to constrain and minimize wron wrongdoing bye agency that theyre inspecting. While im hopeful, im forever hopeful but im also a realist. Ive seen these guys in action before. And if you expect some hardhitting thing that can be turned around into an indictment, dont bet the farm on it. Gregg i agree entirely and that is the history of the inspect generals. However the fact that horowitz obtained 10,000 of these Text Messages between struck and lisa paige and revealed some of them, which are quite incriminating, antitrump messages, complimentary messages of Hillary Clinton while these two are bot involved in both investigations, that gives rise to some measure of hope. We have those two and they can be kind of strung up as pinatas for everyone to point at. But i think it goes deeper and further than that. Gregg good to see you. Thanks for being with us. The president today spending his working investigation targeting not only the fbi and antitrump dossier but also north korea.

Gregg the Trump Administration delivering on a promise to cut the funding to the United States nations negotiating a 285 million budget cut. Now the move follows a fight condemning the decision to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem. Nikki haley saying, we will no longer let the generosity of the American People be taken advantage of or remaining unchecked. Joining nenow to talk about it, former u. S. Ambassador of the United States john bolton, now senior fellow at the American Enterprise institute. Great to see you. Excellent column that you penned in the wall street journal today. I want to many president s have sort of hinted that they are so disgusted with the United Nations that they have threatened under their breath, if nothing more than that, to cut some of the funding. This is a president who had the courage to actually do it. What you make of it . I think its an important step and i think theres every prospect, theres going to be more of it. This particular budget cut was negotiated basically baked in the cake before the jerusalem vote. But if there were ever a pivot point for an administration to say to congress and the american public, this is what were spending our money on, i cant think think of a better one. You know, back in the day, in the 1980s, it was Congress Cutting the budget to the u. N. And cut a substantial amount under the leadership of senator jesse helms. Now i think President Trump has an opportunity to do something about it and i hope he takes advantage of it. Gregg going back a few days just before the vote and a great many speeches on the floor of the United Nations, the turkish ambassador said, oh, threatening to withhold money to Member States would be extortion youre trying to buy our vote. Its not even close to that, is it, ambassador . No. And i have to say while certainly the budget levels at the u. N. Are a serious problem for the United States, theyre actually Something Else more serious. Theyre symptoms of the larger problem at the u. N. , where bureaucracies exist, ive called them selflicking ice cream cones. They have no apparent effect in the real world but they cost a lot of money. So i think what the United States needs to do is go through and systematically separate the u. N. Sheep from the goats and i would go further. Id say the entire assessed system of contributions. You mentioned the u. S. Pays 22 . Its kind of like an international tax. We pay 28 of the peacekeeping budget which is bigger than the regular budget. Lets contribute on a voluntarily basis. Lets contribute to what we think is worthwhile and not contribute to what we think is not worthwhile. Gregg one could argue that the entire United Nations is not worthwhile but well leave that for another day. Lets turn now to north korea. A couple of topics there. The south is asking that the United States postpone military exercises, worried about some provocation with the north before the olympics. There is some talk about negotiations, although the north is refusing to back off its nuclear program. What do you think of those two topics . Its understandable that south korea is worried about the effect on the olympics. But there are bigger things at stake here and im pretty con convinced that were going to come to a head on the north Korea Program in the near future. I feel sorry about a potential impact on the olympicses. But there are bigger issues involved. As far as negotiating with north korea, this is a waste of oxygen. They are not going to give up their Nuclear Programs voluntarily. Were not saying that pressure applied to them will make that happen. Gregg last subject. Isis. U. S. Forces and allied forces have done a wonderful job of getting rid of the caliphate in syria and iraq. What about afghanistan . Theyve exspannedded their territory there, their influence is growing. There is true in other regions in the world, in libya and yemen. Although the physical caliphate in syria and iraq is close to being destroyed, the isis threat is far from over, including in syria and iraq where every likelihood is theyll turn back to terrorism more than conventional warfare. I think the analysis by the Intelligent Committee that the threat we face internationally is equal to or greater than it was on 9 11 remains true. Gregg the kremlin is criticizing the u. S. Army, the army in ukraine, that must mean were doing the right thing. Absolutely. Look. I think it was long yofer do ovo provide this assistance. Long overdo going back to barack obama. I think that encouraged putin to go further. This is a significant move for the Trump Administration. You have to wonder where all of the collusion with russia is when theyre arming russias enemies.
