The fbi were missed. We need to find out exactly what happened that could have saved 17 lives. The president and his wife in Broward County, florida. Its very sad, Something Like that could happen. The doctor was amazing and First Responders, everybody, the job theyve done is incredible. Pete good morning, it is saturday, february 17th as you see on your screen. New information out from the special counsel yesterday about mid afternoon, if you were watching our channel, you saw news out from bob mueller and Rob Rosenstein about socalled russian collusion oh, wait, no russian collusion. Turns out there were 13 guys with twitter accounts and Facebook Accounts in russia trying to affect your vote. Rachel and a couple Russian Companies. Pete a few Russian Companies. Rachel good morning, pete. Pete my head was so in the special counsel and collusion mode, griff jenkins, Rachel Campos duff duffy griff if you are just waking up and pouring that cup of coffee. If you only hear one word today its the word unwitting. That is the key point of this. That these 13 russians that were indicted, they found that there were no knowing, unwitting of the Trump Campaign. In fact, Rod Rosenstein had this to say at that press conference. This is the key point. Take a listen. The indictment charges 13 russian nationals and three Russian Companies for committing federal crimes while seeking to interfere in the United States political system. Including the 2016 president ial election. There is no allegation in this indictment that any american was a knowing participant. There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election. Rachel by the way, i would say these 13 russians will never be facing trial or unlikely to face trial because there is no extradition agreement or treaty between russia. So this is. Pete unless they try to go to disney world or something. Thats probably not going to happen. Griff one of them is speaking out this morning. Mikael burchett says, quote i am very surprised that in the opinion of the Washington Court several russian people interfeared in the elections in the United States. I dont know how the americans came to this decision. They have onesided justice. Turns out you can hang the blame on anyone says one of the russians indicted for committing Information Warfare against our American Elections. Rachel this started way back in 2014 under Barack Obamas presidency. Pete thats exactly what our president , donald trump, tweeted yesterday when this all came out. He tweeted, this russia started their antiu. S. Campaign in 2014, long before i announced that i would run for president. The results of the election were not impacted, the Trump Campaign did nothing wrong. No collusion. Important point. When you look at this indictment, the Disinformation Campaign began in april of 2014. Continued through and even after the election when they turned their influence campaign against then elected President Trump. So it was during the Obama Administration. It wasnt about the trump candidacy to begin with. It was about Hillary Clinton. It was antiHillary Clinton, annual at this america. They spent 1. 25 million in a campaign that spent billions and billions of dollars. And no impact on the outcome. No collusion. Sounded like all right. Bob mueller and your special counselor, this is what youve got . All this money, all this time . 13 russians with Facebook Accounts . Rachel i was going to say the other ironic part of this devin nunes who has been the vein of the existence of the left they have been going after him because he has been trying to uncover the truth way back in 2014 when the russians started this, he was telling the Obama Administration hey, there is this russia thing and they were ignoring it. They did nothing about it. Griff let me point out though rosenstein says the special counsel investigation is not over. Its ongoing. Presumably they are looking while the Trump Campaign did nothing wrong, they could still be looking at obstruction of justice. Actually ainsly sat down with an exclusive interview with Vice President pence that will air on monday. We can give you a by the of yout now. She talks about the Mueller Investigation. What does this mean for the Mueller InvestigationGoing Forward and what was your reaction to this news . As you know, our administration has been fully cooperating with the special counsel investigation and we will continue to. Theres no question that russia sought to interfere, perhaps with other countries in our electoral process. And absolutely essential that we take action against individuals who attempted to interfere with our democracy. Theres no suggestion that there was any impact on the outcome of the election, despite what these indictments suggest. Were going to continue to work as an administration to make sure that not only our electoral system but all of our institutions are better protected against foreign meddling from russia or any other foreign powers. Pete this entire interview will air on fox friends monday morning after 6 00 a. M. You wont want to miss it. Ainsley is on the u. S. Mexico border with the Vice President. Fascinating interview. That portion about Rod Rosenstein, about bob mueller, about the indictment, you try to have a little fun, too, in this stuff. We talk about. Rachel i always has fun. Pete russian interference. This is one of the graphics that you may or may not have seen on facebook written by russians. Satan says if clinton if i win, clinton wins. Jesus says not if i can help it. Press like to help jesus win. This is one tid bit of some of the ads. We have looked at a lot of them. If that influence on the outcome of the election. Ainsley i can tel election. Ains. Rachel i can tell you this was effective in wisconsin. Try this in 2018. Come on. Pete amazing. Griff there is a lot more to talk about in that sound bite from ainsleys interview. We have to turn now to the other story. A fox news alert. The fbi failing to investigate teen gunman nikolas cruz after receiving a tip about his erratic behavior six weeks before the Florida High School massacre. Pete this as we learned the 19yearold will reportedly plead guilty if the Death Penalty is totally off the table. Rachel now, rob schmitt is live from parkland, florida with the developing details. Rob . Rob good morning, guys, the funerals have begun after this horrible tragedy from wednesday. The shocking news that came out yesterday that really justreally shocked everybody in this neighborhood and in this community was the fbis admission that they had gotten this tip, this rock solid lead had come in to their tip line about six weeks ago, that talked about nikolas cruz, about his gun ownership, about all of these things that could have led to this. And that lead was never passed onto the miami field office. And it is really, really, really looks bad for the fbi. Lets go ahead and give you a piece statement that the fbi put out. Caller provided information about cruzs gun ownership, desire to kill people, and the potential of him conducting a School Shooting. Tsh thats as about as good a lead as you can expect for Something Like this to happen. Here is fbi agent robert lasky with the Miami Field Division of the fbi, the division that never got that tip so that they could follow up on it. And he defends the fbi. The potential of the fbi to miss something is always there. We do our best. We have protocols to prevent these things. We will be looking into where and how if something in the protocol broke down. We will come back stronger than we ever were before. Rob its really bad. But lets go to a statement from the governor here in florida, rick scott. He says we council distantly promote see something, Say Something. And and a courageous person did just that to the fbi. And the fbi failed to act. The fbi director needs to resign. So were going to see what the fallout is of this on the fbi and if they are going to figure out who it was that this last happened with. Who didnt pass this along within the fbi. And as we talk about that, the first two funerals for the 17 victims of this horrible crime were yesterday on friday. And we can tell you a little bit about these two young women 18yearold meadow pollack who was looking to go to Lynn University in nearby boca raton and 14yearold Alyssa Alhadeff who wanted to grow up and be an attorney. Lets listen to their friends at the funeral. I was with meadow talking to meadow before the gunman started shooting. It is very sad. At the same time, i know that she is in a safer place now and the angel will be with her. Its closure but at this age it really isnt. It was just senseless. These girls shouldnt be here. They should be in school today. Rob its just a terrible story all the way around. Police say the 19yearold nikolas cruz has confessed and will plead guilty in this crime if the Death Penalty is off the table. So, he does not want to have the same fate as the people that he killed here in this school. Guys, send it back to you. Rachel thank you, rob. Pete rob schmitt on the scene. Obviously a big mistake with huge consequences. Huge bureaucracies with tons of tips that called in. They didnt follow up on this one even though it looked like something they should have been following up on. Rachel the president was in florida consoling and at the hospital, by the way, with some of the responders and some of the employees that worked there, the doctors, the First Responders. Good that he is there but i just cant imagine being a parent of one of these victims, those that died. Those that were injured, knowing that there was a credible, specific threat one month ago. The second tip that the fbi had and it wasnt followed up on. Its got to just hurt even more. You know, they will never get an answer as to why this happened and having heard all these tragedies in years past. It is the most difficult job as a reporter to ask parents why. But now they have credible reasons to question the fbi and you will remember, we will talk some more about this, but some instances of the fbi missing things in the job they have. Pete your government is going to make mistakes. You cant always count on the authorities to get it right. Rachel turn now to some of your headlines. Chief of staff john kelly ordering an overhaul of the White House Security clearance process. Kelly outlining the changes in a memo to staff saying we must do better among the changes asking for the fbi to notify the white house about any issues and background checks within 48 hours. Limiting access to classified information with people for people with temporary clearances and frequent status reports on pending background checks. This comes after criticism over former staff rob porter who had a top clearance despite Domestic Abuse allegations. The fate of dreamers in the u. S. Could be decided by the supreme court. The nine justices holding a closed door meeting about whether to take up the case. Two federal judges blocked the Trump Administrations move to end daca. The program that protects hundreds of thousands of young adults brought to the u. S. Illegally as children. The justices could announce their decision as early as next week. And those are your headlines. Pete i dont love that many of the things end at the court. You just heard about the doj indicting 13 russians for election interference. So what does this mean for the democrats collusion narrative . We will ask Judicial Watch tom fitton next. Griff mitt romney speaking out about russia after senate run.

Rod rosenstein said there were no signs of u. S. Involvement. Tom fitton from Judicial Watch joins us now to discuss the latest. Tom, have you followed this start to now. You saw Rod Rosenstein come out and say no evidence of americans involved. What do you make of the indictment of 13 russians and three Russian Companies . Well, some ways its all due tout sense that summarizes material thats been in the media for some time that the russians were monkeying around with our system by playing on facebook and pretending to be americans involved in our political process. And supporting and opposing candidates. But not in any way that you can say was ultimately supportive of President Trump, when you have the indictment confirming they actually set up rallies, trying to oppose him once he was elected. In the end we have this massive russia investigation, find no collusion with the Trump Campaign. I dont understand why we are still talking about a special counsel investigating the president in light of this indictment. Pete well, we have known the russians have tried to interfere with our elections since the cold war. They used to try to assassinate our puts. We know the russians are not our friends u in this particular case they werent propping up then candidate trump. They were going after Hillary Clinton. They were propping up Bernie Sanders. They were trying to sow confusion. After all this time, all this money spent on a special counsel, is this what were going to find or is there any collusion to be found there at all . Look those who say the Trump Campaign colluded with the russians they are going to interest to start providing evidence other than the clinton dossier. This is what was in the news this week. We had the susan rice email implicating joe biden, barack obama, sally yates, james comey, and susan rice in a conspiracy to get trump on russia. You had information that the number four official at the obama Justice Department bruce ohr hid information about his relationship with the Clinton Campaign cash machine, basically fusion gps that was collaborating with russia intelligence to launder dirt against or really the defamatory dirt against President Trump into the fbi doj apparatus u and have you got this indictment of russians abroad. The indictment is really never going to see the light of day trial. Its never going to come here and be tried. Never find out whether anything in the indictment is true what would they rather be talking about this indictment where they found despite all of the kings horses and all the kings men. Not one american colluded with the russians when they were trying to play games here in the american political campaigns. Pete
