Leaked information of the press hoping it would lead to the appointment of a special counsel, which happened, which raises new questions tonight that we are going to dig into deeply. Democrats and the destroy trump media have been wrong for nearly ten months, lying to you about trump, russia, collusion. No evidence, as we have been showing you, from democratic congressman. No evidence, smoke, no evidence. Sources are telling fox news President Trump is very pleased with the developments today. Here now with the details, fox news chief White House Correspondent, our friend john roberts. On top of what youve been reporting, understand that the fbi, unauthorized leaks against the president , he may be in trouble as it relates to fbi standards and practices in his employment agreement. Its possible. Catherine herridge just sent an email around that a source of hers is saying they may think about filing a complaint with the Inspector Generals Office at the fbi for the fact that comey disclose information about fbi files that he may not have been in his purview to disclose. Looking at what they can do because the president s attorney said earlier today that they were probably going to let the subject of the leak and any potential repercussions from that lie with the appropriate authority but its looking like they may try to take some action. In terms of how the president is feeling about this, i dont think you can say you are thrilled when someone with whom you have an adversarial relationship is on capitol hill testifying that i am told by people familiar with that matter that the president is as happy with comeys testimony today as he could possibly be, given the circumstances in particular because comey finally said in public and said repeatedly that the president is not under investigation in this russia scandal. And that is not seeking to shutdown the russian investigation, or at least didnt come in the Oval Office Meeting february 14. Even though he suggested, according to comey, they may be good let Michael Flynn go which the president of course still denies he ever said. Hes also very interested by the fact that comey outed himself as a leaker and leaked information to prompt the appointment of a special prosecutor which really does kind of confirm what the president has been saying all along, sean, the very people out there in government who have long held positions in government were out and try to hurt him. The president basically thinking he was proven right in everything hes been saying for the past few months. Three questions. Being asked around the white house. Why was the comey so certain that Jeff Sessions would recuse himself . Session student recuse himself until about three weeks after the meeting comey had in the oval office with the president. Sessions recuse himself because of two meetings he had with sergey kislyak, russian ambassador. He felt it was an untenable position. Comey knew about those meetings, and he alluded to some information he had today during the open session that he wasnt at liberty to talk about in the open session, which we can probably assume he talked about in the closed section. If comey knew about it and knew he was going to recuse himself, people are asking tonight, did comey have something to do with it . Thats eight question people are talking about. Did the president think it was okay to talk to comey in private because of what happened in their first meeting . On january 6, comey was part of a 4person contingent who went to trump tower to brief the president on his intelligence briefing. That group included james clapper, john brennan, mike rogers from the nsa. At the end of the meeting, comey said, mr. President , i need to talk to you in private. The other folks were ushered out of the room and they spoke privately. Did the president who was a neophyte to politics and protocol think it was okay because comey set the precedent for him to later, a few weeks later, say to comey i would like to talk to you privately for a minute after we get everybody else out of the oval office. Similar meeting in the oval office to the one comey had with the president on january 6. The other two questions being asked, why did comey think it was necessary to take notes and why did he think the president could potentially lie to him when it was comey who said mr. President , i need to talk to privately and i need to tell you about the Sensitive Information in this unverified document. There is still a lot of unknowns out there as to why comey was feeling the way he was feeling i may be potential explanations for why the president thought that during the february 14 meeting it might be okay to speak privately with the fbi director. Sean john roberts, great information from the white house tonight. Thank you for being with us. The base revelation was about former Obama Administration attorney general cartilage pressuring james comey. This is unbelievable. Watch this. Clinton campaign was using euphemisms, security review, matters for what was going on. We were getting to a place where the attorney general and i were going to have to talk publicly about it and i wanted to know, was she going to authorize us to confirm we had an investigation . She said yes, but dont call it that. Call it a matter. I said why would i do that . She said just call it a matter. Sean what does that mean for the former attorney general. We continue with sarah carter, john solomon. We often add to that the tarmac meeting with bill clinton and yg were going to learn more about more meetings with Loretta Lynch and james comey . Yes, we do know. Unlike other news organizations or reporters, sean we know but were knocking to tell you . Its an extra hour. The anticipation, we want to make sure everything we report is absolutely validated by multiple, multiple sources and we are sure people are going to know more about this about more meetings and i think they are going to be quite surprised at what is going to be revealed. Sean let me play some of this. How wrong the media has been an even james comey admitting it, getting called out multiple times, the New York Times and Washington Post, cnn, abc news. Lets play some examples. Huge indictment on the media that even Chris Matthews saying the russia collusion thing is dead now but this is a part of it. Have there been news accounts about the russia investigation about collusion, about this whole event or accusations, as you read the story, and you were stunned about how wrong they got the fax . Yes, many, many stories for stories reportedly based on information, especially about russia that are dead wrong. Im not picking on reporters but the challenges people talking about it often dont really know whats going on. The report by the New York Times was not true, is that a fair statement . In the main, it was not true. February 14, the New York Times published a story the headline was from Campaign Aides had repeated contacts with russian intelligence. Would it be fair to characterize that story is almost entirely wrong . Yes. Sean i do appreciate that you guys have the story. You need a little more sourcing. Wrap it up but i trust everything youre saying tonight is true because youve been so ahead of the curve on all of this. John, whats your reaction . More importantly, for ten straight months, the news media in this country has just gone with, again, comey, john brennan, jim clapper, all of these people, Maxine Waters and mark warner and Dianne Feinstein and joe manchin. Also the same thing up until we could go, no no evidence of collusion. The black highlight copter helicopter tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists. They have lied to the American People and a spectacular level. This weekend, senator warner said there is a lot of smoke but no fire. I think there is a Burning House tonight and its the media. There has been a lot of overextended reporting and it hasnt serve the public well. If there is a scandal, we should be able to get to the bottom of it. But doing it before the facts are there, doesnt do anything for anybody. I saw story in the Washington Post tonight saying here is the case on how you can prove obstruction from comeys testimony. I called ten prosecutors. Not guys with bowties on College Campuses but guys have taken on obstruction cases and big terrorism cases and i asked them, did you hear obstruction today . Would you make a case . And 10 out of 10 said not a chance, no way. Not going to happen. Even comey himself said im not going to make the call on obstruction. I thought i heard him say a direction but he said i hope. No case a prosecutor would make on a he saidhe said case. We would be good for all of us to take a deep breath, go back to facts and provable things and stop the supposition. Hasnt served the country well. Sean i am not as forgiving as you and i promised this audience im going to expose every lie thats been told for all of these months, and im not as forgiving. You are right about i hope and no obstruction and it didnt come close to the standard but the fact that a false narrative had been advanced to the American People month after month, you know something, sarah, if it was me, i couldnt imagine. Oh, it would be pound hannity, attack his advertisers, silences boys. Since the russian inclusion stories began, all the newspapers evincing Russian Disinformation Campaign trade botnet, Disinformation Campaign against the republic, against our election, and they are trying to change the narrative but all in all, it was the media that had a Disinformation Campaign against the president of the United States. That is something to think about. Sean the same media that we learned was colluding with the Hillary Clinton campaign and again, they didnt cover that aspect of their corruption even during the campaign, the same media that never vetted obama, that never thought trump could win, never told the American People the truth about a horrible record we pointed out every night on this program about obamas failures. This runs very deep. You have been amazing all throughout this. I do believe the deep state and investigation, if this is not used as the impetus to clean this up and get rid of every obama holdover and every selectively cure that, as the president s attorney said, is out there to hurt him. The people in the media, this would be the biggest missed opportunity, the deep state which you are investigating, so important. Thank you for being with us. Back with us now, chief counsel and former White House Press secretary ari fleischer. This is a big deal. You have dealt with these people. This is probably the biggest media Conspiracy Theory lie on top of being exposed as colluding with the clinton campaign. This is not funny. From a media point of view, one of the biggest developments was, and it was talked about repeatedly, now we know donald trump was never the subjects investigation that many people on capitol hill knew it. I tell you, many people on capitol hill tried to get it to the press. The press willfully and deliberately ignored it because it was not in the interest of the mainstream media. It ran counter to the direction of all the stories, and antitrump direction. Thats why the American People have so much lost faith in the press. Sean willingly and what was the word . Willingly and deceitfully . I said the velocity and the direction of the coverages antitrump. Thats what they accept and thats why they didnt put it in the papers on the network news, the the fact that trump was not the subject of the investigation. Sean you are saying so many people knew, multiple credible sources, and they didnt print it. Thats beyond a media crisis. Its propaganda, misinformation at a level forget j. Edgar comey. This was the collapse of james comey. This was a guy who said that the former attorney general Loretta Lynch said dont call it a case, call it a matter. And then he did. He sort of vindicated her. Wouldnt do it for the president. Marco rubio did a great job. Look at the collusion taking place. There is evidently no evidence of collusion with regard to the president prove what is the collusion . It is james comey goes over his testimony with a special counsel who is supposed to be investigating all of this. What doesnt seem right . Does it not seem right that that took place . Does it not seem right that the fbi director leaked a memo of his private conversations, supposedly, with the president of the United States, leaked it to a colleague, friend at a law school who then leaked into the New York Times and we are supposed to say thats good . We like our fbi director to do that. He said he did that in response to the president s tweet, except the contents of the memo came up the day before to the New York Times. If you look at the timeline, it doesnt seem to line up. What else is new . Sean what about an act of revenge . Isnt it an act of revenge . It is that it fell flat. You know everybody knew today . Everybody knew there was no obstruction of justice. Everybody knows there was no real collusion on anything. Everybody knows today that this is a witch hunt and everybody should know this is costing the taxpayers a lot of money, and we have north korea, as i said earlier. Sean i want to go back to ari. What about the special counsel that james comey collaborated with the special counsel on his testimony . Is that a conflict of interest and does he need to be removed not only because we know the answers at this point and there seems no need for a special counsel any longer, although i know people like justify their existence, especially senators. They want their investigations. These special counsel will never give up for 500 years. Seems to be a conflict if he stays in place. I think there is a series of conflicts. They have to be looked at seriously and i think we james comey also, not just with the dialogue with the special counsel, as hes called, but the leaking of that memorandum is very serious, and i think the fbi and department of justice need to may well be a crime. He doesnt only have friends there, the fact is if this was a big deal, as you said earlier, and Gregg Jarrett has been talking about it, the code is Crystal Clear and when asked about it today, he acted as if he did not know the statute. Took him at least minutes to recollect it. Then he said i knew the attorney general was going to resign a couple weeks later. How did he know that . Sean it was a setup. Ari, what is your take . Look, i think we are at this stage we have to wait for bob mueller to tell us what hes discovered. Thats the reality. I have never liked special counsel loss but we have them. They are in place and now mueller has to get to the bottom of it. I have faith in bob mueller, i do, and the problem here go sean does it bother you they collaborated on his testimony today . I dont know if they collaborated. Mueller gave him permission to use the memos and it was appropriate. Testify based on one he recollected. I dont have an issue with that, but heres the bigger issue. The future of the Democratic Party relay now lies in whether or not criminal charges are brought against donald trump. The future of the Republican Party relies on passing laws. I would rather be in the position of donald trump and the republicans and the democrats because the likelihood is mueller is not going to find anything. Obstruction is unlikely. We know collusion doesnt really exist. We will find out if it does for anybody who worked on the campaign. Unlikely. The democrats of the party that doesnt have ids for the future. All they have is a hope for a criminal charge that i dont think is going to happen. Sean let me ask you this. Heres a guy who comes from a business background. I didnt like paul ryans original comments but he made the observation if comey initiated the original contact in a meeting along with then president elect trump, didnt that sort of set a precedent for a guy who never spent a minute and the political world . Theres not a possibility that a meeting like that wouldve happened in the bush white house. Everybody knew if you are under an investigation by the fbi. Sean comey knew, why didnt he say we cant talk about it . He should have acted and been Strong Enough to say its inappropriate. Have the attorney general and the chief of staff walkin. But he didnt. This is the problem. James comey if you look at the evidence how it is lining up, what was the purpose of the leak . I agree with ari that republicans need to be about governing. I was with the president today and hes dealing with a host of issues, not the least of which is north korea and National Security issues and domestic issues. The memo leak is problematic and this was a guy who said under oath today that when pressed on why he did not report this, pressed on why he didnt, he said i wasnt Strong Enough. I think what ari says sets up the problem. James comey had one goal with getting the memo released. The special counsel let him release it but what did he say the goal was . I thought if i released the mem memo, the special counsel would be appointed. And it did. Sean amazing analysis, both of you. Thank you. We appreciate it. Up next, on this breaking news the addition of hannity. There have been many, many stories purportedly based on classified information about lots of stuff but especially about russia that are just dead
