Antitrump bias in the democrats impeachment bench. Now one of their Legal Counsels who had testified, he said last year attacking trump planning, quote, is nothing in the steele dossier that is false. This as attorney general william barr ripped into the fbi and the Obama Administration for their constitutional fisa abuses, using that steele dossier and being the first in u. S. History to probe a Political Campaign. Ag barr also tore into the, quote, irresponsible press today. The media, for hyping the farfetched steele dossier and being inaccurate, misleading and wrong on their report on the fisa abuses at the fbi. This as the Senate Judiciary will question doj Inspector General horowitz at a public hearing tomorrow on the abuses of power under the Obama Administration. We found more much more, what the cia has warned the fbi, and when the fbi knew the steele file was inaccurate, farfetched. When the fbi knew it was all politically motivated. James comey trying to take a victory lap, even after the fbi director Christopher Wray announced he had to take 40 corrective actions to fix the mess that comey made. And more damage to senator warrens campaign. Her environmental image now under attack. New information surfacing on how then professor warren got paid millions of dollars to help defend companies accused of polluting. Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth welcome to the show. You are watching the fox business network. To the two charges of impeachment, against President Trump, abuse of power, and obstruction, a full house vote is expected next week. Fox news is on capitol hill with more. Great to see you, chad. Good evening. I have the articles of impeachment right here. They will start to prepare them tomorrow night in the judiciary committee. Weve just been told that in the past hour. And they will finish on thursday, and then presumably move them to the house floor the week after that. You know, this has been kind of a whirlwind day on capitol hill. These articles of impeachment were announced early this morning and then came word that there was going to be an agreement on the usmca, the juxtaposition, the confluence of two major events was rather remarkable because as the house of representatives moves to impeach the president , they are also on the precipice of giving the president his biggest bipartisan policy victory, the biggest of his presidency. Thats something that i asked the House Speaker about, this weird confluence earlier today. Listen. A whiplash morning, dealing with impeachment and the usmca. The day is young. Its not a coincidence. Its just as we get to the end of a session, there has to be some decisions made. Still impeachment looms over everything. It is major here on capitol hill, and President Trump just a little bit ago indicated that impeachment and the announcement on the usmca were connected. I assume they will probably have to have the vote very important were getting the usmca which is going to be a great thing for our farmers, our manufacturers, for for just about everybody. It is good for everybody, unions included the other thing they have to do in the next few days is fund the government. I spoke with the House Majority leader hoyer earlier this afternoon. They have to fund the government by the end of the day on the 20th of december, and he says, quote, the 20th and christmas the end to focus peoples minds, meaning they have to fund the government and get this all wrapped up by christmas. There was a meeting today in the Speakers Office with steven mnuchin, the treasury secretary, the speaker of the house and the senate and House Appropriations committee chair, as they try to forge a deal. Theres a lot going on here on capitol hill, but the one thing we do know is that they will not move the usmca in the senate until next year. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell said they would wait until they finish a senate trial. Ive been told here in the past few minutes, this is the Speakers Office shooting back at mcconnell, coming from henry connelly, a spokesperson for pelosi, the house and Senate Passed the korea, panama and columbia trade agreements on the same day, october 11th, 2011, senator mcconnell has no excuse, but to bring up the usmca. So the shoe is kind of on the other foot here, liz, where republicans, in particular, mcconnell urging the house to move the usmca, now the roles seem to be versed. Back to you seem to be reversed. Back to you. Elizabeth thank you, chad. Ten democrat moderates reports coming in theyre in the swing states that in districts that trump won. Now they are talking about censure instead of impeachment. The Washington Post average of as doen polls of battle dozen polls of battle state show 51 majority dont want impeachment. If pelosi loses 18 of the 31 moderates impeachment is dead. She says shes not counting votes. No whipping of the votes yet. And also this story, no focus group poll tested charge of bribery in the impeachment articles we reported to you last week. The house impeachment report barely discussed bribery. Remember pelosi has been adamant about bribery, thats what the democrats have been pushing on the media. Watch this. Bribery, bribery, and that is in the constitution attached to the impeachment proceedings. Thats not [ [talking over each other] elizabeth lets bring in house judiciary member republican ken buck. Great to see you. Good to be here. Obstruction of justice, abuse of power, are those Impeachable Offenses . Wheres the bribery charge . Where did it go . It disappeared because while it polled well, there werent any facts to support it so they didnt bring it. I think that was a good decision not to bring it. They have lowered the abuse of power standard so much that i think that in fact, one of the professors said last week that any u. S. President could have been charged and impeached based on where they place the bar now for abuse of power. So i think they are the moderate democrats are not only looking at polls, but also looking at justice, and they realize this is not impeachable conduct. Elizabeth we have ten moderate swing states democrats now saying they are talking censure. If nancy loses 18 of the 31 moderates in swing districts trump won, impeachment is dead. And the senate is expected to wait until january for an impeachment trial. Sir, that crashes right into the democrat senators campaign. Trumps Approval Rating is at 45 , higher than obama at this point in his term. I think they have a problem. They will have more of a problem in the near future. They will lose i think at least double digits and may very well lose 20, 25 of their votes. I think that gives nancy pelosi cover that it appears that she is trying to get impeachment, appearing to her base to do that while at the same time her moderates vote against her, she is covered on both sides. Elizabeth heres the other thing, the obstruction charge, the Trump Administration is saying its waiting for the courts to decide on executive privilege. G. O. P. Legal expert Jonathan Turley warning if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is your abuse of power. And even left wing law professor who worked in the Obama Administration wrote two years ago theres no legitimate basis for impeachment. The president has a good faith reason for denying what the house wants. We found even more antitrump bias. Democrat Legal CounselDaniel Goldman tweeted back at President Trump in august of last year, quote, nothing in the Christopher Steele dossier has proved to be false. Your take on that. We keep finding antitrump bias throughout the democrats key sources and witnesses. Absolutely. And this obstruction charge is a bad charge to bring. If a criminal defendant asserts attorneyclient privilege, you dont charge that individual with obstruction. It is ridiculous to charge this president with obstruction while the courts are deciding how broad the executive privilege is that he is asserting. Elizabeth we also have this, as were looking at for example, the democrat Legal Counsel, talking about, you know, impeachment in december 2016, before even the president was sworn in. We have a harvard professor, lawrence tribe, cited 20 times in the impeachment report talking about impeaching trump, right around a couple years ago. It goes on and on. And the lawyer representing the whistleblower tweeted ten days after inauguration, quote, hashtag, the coup has started. Impeachment will follow ultimately. I want to show this, the cnn panelist went after the democrats yesterday. Lets watch this. When you are adam schiff and you finish hearings and people give you a standing ovation in the Democratic Caucus for a hearing, i got to step back and say nancy pelosi wants me to say the caucus is somber about this . A standing ovation for this process is completely unacceptable. When members of the party sit back and say ive decided to impeach before ive heard a hearing, unacceptable. Elizabeth your reaction to that . Well, i think its clear. Even Jonathan Turley, the republican witness, with the law Professor Panel is a democrat who voted for Hilary Clinton, who voted for president obama, but who sees the law clearly, and thats the problem here. Some of these people have so much anger that they are misinterpreting the law and really changing the focus of where we should be in this proceeding. They may have a censure action. I wont vote for censure, but somebody else may. They could go back and argue to their constituents but not impeachment. Elizabeth it is about whether it rises to the level of Impeachable Offense and whether voters see it that way. Cnn basically excuse me, let me back up. It was paul begala, a clinton advisor, official with the Clinton Administration basically talking about hes agreeing with al green, that theres no limit to how many times the house can impeach trump. Watch this. The constitution does not say it is a one and done deal. This is not the last impeachment we will cover on donald j. Trump. What . What . Impeachment today, impeachment tomorrow, impeachment forever. Elizabeth 24 7 impeachment forever. Your take . Well, look, this is a political body. And at some point the American People get tired of this. The Democrat Party will pay a price for this impeachment proceeding and threatening future impeachment proceedings in november of 2020. Elizabeth congressman good to see you. Come back soon. Thank you. Elizabeth update on your money, the markets. Stocks down for the second day straight.

You came back elizabeth Senate Judiciary tomorrow will question the doj ig watchdog Michael Horowitz at a public hearing on the fbi fisa abuses in its probe of the Trump Campaign. Heres attorney general william barr ripping into the fbi, the Obama Administration, and the media. Watch this. As far as im aware this is the first time in history that this has been done to a president ial campaign, the use of these counterintelligence techniques against a president ial campaign. What the fbi did is later after the dnc hack and the dumping wikipedia wikileaks, yeah, is a lie, they get this information that this somewhat vague statement was made in a bar and they jump right into a full scale investigation before they even talked to the foreign officials about exactly what was said. They opened an investigation of the campaign. It just doesnt hold water because on august 4th, they contacted the head of russian intelligence and said we know what youre up to. You better stop it. They did it again in later august, and president obama did it directly in september, so it doesnt strike me as plausible that you would tell the russians who clearly were guilty of interference that you wouldnt go and talk to the campaign. They were told they didnt have probable cause to get a warrant, and so they took the steele dossier, which they had done nothing to verify, and they used that to get the warrant. It quickly became apparent that it was a travesty, and there were many abuses, and thats by far the most important part of the report. And i think Mike Horowitz would agree with that. Also the fact that from day one, it generated exculpatory information and nothing that substantiated any kind of collusion. It is a big deal to use the Law Enforcement and the intelligence resources of the United States government to investigate a campaign, especially opposing. The question really is, what was the agenda after the election that kept them pressing ahead, after their case collapsed. Our nation was turned on its head for three years. I think based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an irresponsible press. Elizabeth lets talk about all of this with former fbi assistant director bill gavin. Your reaction, sir, great to see you. You know, with attorney general barr, what he is saying is right hook line and sinker is what happened. The bureau predicated this whole investigation based on bogus information and it never should have happened, liz, but it did. And now what do they do about it . What can they do about it . I see where the ig reported that initially to initially open this investigation, he couldnt find any political bias. But i find that hard to believe. But on the renewal of the application for the fisa warrants, certainly by that time, the three different times, the emails that were exchanged between various Bureau Officials were known, and if that didnt demonstrate political bias, i dont know what did. This is kind of a mess of a report. But i appreciate what barr said and also what durham is ass saying durham is saying, that this next the Durham Report is going to be devastating because thats where you are going to have indictments and elizabeth possibly perjury charges misleading the fisa court. The attorney general indicated that the Obama Administration and intelligence officials notified the russians and said hey knock it off but didnt tell the Trump Campaign hey you have problems with the campaign, fire the guys. So they did it to keep going after the Trump Campaign, also indicated the attorney general that mccabe and james comey, that the fbi did not have probable cause to launch this surveillance of carter page. So thats when they brought in the antitrump steele dossier that was farfetched. To your point, the fbi probe was launched on the thinnest of pretexts. Heres what we found, the cia told the fbi basically in 2016 this steele dossier is an internet rumor, on the level of that. The fbi knew in 2016 it was politically motivated. We have been reporting for some time that the low threshold to launch a probe
