ohio congressman jim jordan says all the evidence piling up against peter strzok is too overwhelming to be a coincidence. >> the guy who identified peter strzok talking about the insurance policy, this latest batch talks about unfinished business, unleashed it during the midyear exam, now he says i need to finish it and fix it. four minutes after that text message he sent another message to lisa paige where he says an investigation that leads to impeachment, if that doesn't go to their entire plan, and the animus they had for donald trump, i don't know what does. never forget peter strzok was the key guy in the clinton investigation committee interviewed clinton, he was the guy who changed the exoneration. >> the mainstream media grows -- ignore the growing countries, abc news ignoring the story altogether with nbc and cbs barely referencing the text with another stories. since the jaw-dropping text messages surfaced, gop lawmakers calling into question the credibility of james comey's testimony specifically the timeline of when the former fbi director decided not to press charges ag

you have the quicken-lunch tarmac meeting, comey's machinations, peter strzok, pro hillary, auntie donald trump, there at every major decision,

let them see how corrupt and bias peter strzok and lisa page are. there's a total of over 50,000 messages and we have more providing more incontrovertible evidence the fix was in on the clinton investigation. on february 25, 2016, lisa page texts strzok, one more thing, she may be our next president, meaning hilary, the last thing you need is load ford -- loaded for bear. and strzok replies -- he interviewed her. back in february, strzok and page are already talking about going easy on the clinton investigation into the e-mails because they thought she would become the president and retaliate against the doj and the fbi. now stop there for a second. in early may before they ever interviewed hillary clinton. they're writing an exoneration before an investigation. remember, if he is the guy that interviewed hilary and general flynn. that year james comey and other fbi officials started drafting the exoneration months before interviewing clinton and 17 other key witnesses. ever hear of that before? now what we're developing say fact pattern showing a m

the central player in this entire drama is the guy you identified, peter strzok. the first batch of text messages, he talked about the insurance policy in case the american people makebo donald trump president. this latest batch, he talks c about unfinished business. i unleashed it during the midyear exam, which is the code name they had for the clinton investigation. he says "i need to finish it and fix it." 4 minutes after that text message, he sent another message to lisa page where he said ann investigation that leads to impeachment. if that doesn't go to their entire motive, their entire plan, what they had in store, and the animus they had for president trump, i don't know what does.s. as you pointed out in your monologue, peter strzok was the key guy in the clinton investigation. he was the guy who changed the exoneration -- >> sean: are we going to get to the one-yard line and it dies? in other words, we don't get -- >> we see it building. you can see a building. we can see a building amongst the members of congress. 200 members of congress have read that

>> sean: after the damage was done. >> you can be as mad as you want at peter strzok. >> peter strzok is still employed at the fbi. >> robert mueller is a lifetime republican. >> you ask me what this has to do with hillary, and hillary clinton was exonerated in advance by a guy who was tweeting about how much he had domesticated donald trump. >> sean: hang on, let me join in. austan, it's been a year. give me one example of trump-russia collusion. real quick. >> four people have been indicted from a campaign. >> sean: out on russia. thank you both. a very special laura ingraham edition of the hannity hotline. you won't see these folks at the post office. they have businesses to run. they have passions to pursue. how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters, ship packages, all the services of the post office right on your computer. get a 4 week trial, plus $100 in extras including postage and a digital scale. go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again. naand millions morex seniors falive in isolation.hunger, lola: america, let's do lunch. narrator:

lisa page, peter strzok, andrew mccabe, james comey. did you ever -- do you think law enforcement rights exoneration before investigation? does that sound normal to you? speak and we have talked about this. >> sean: does that sound normal to you. >> not before i researched it. no. >> there were numbers in. they were doing a frame job on trump >> a-frame job? what does that look like? >> they were sloppy and came in and admitted there was no collusion. he joined the mueller investigation to finish unfinished business that would lead to impeachment. that alone cost the insurance policy to present the risk of the trump >> what is that insurance policy policy? >> sean: i have a point of agreement. i think you will agree on one point. hillary bought and paid for it russian lies about trump. wait a minute. forget that part. used as a basis to get a warrant on an opposition party in election year. and then use to investigate and surveilled a president-elect. is there any several libertarian in you that says this is really bad? >> that isn't th

newly-released text messages between fbi officials peter strzok and lisa page suggest that they knew in advance that hillary clinton would not face any charges over classified information found on a private e-mail server. the texts also suggest form earl fbi director jim comey and u.s. attorney general loretta lynch also knew that in advance as well that hillary would not be charged. even before the fbi interviewed hillary clinton this is all going on. james comey also exonerated clinton on july 5 of 2016. now one text exchange dated juln attorney general lynch and that text came within days of let a lynch meeting with former president bill clinton aboard her plane on the tarmac in phoenix. this text reads "strzok timing looks like hell and page that is awful timing and since loretta lynch knew no charges would be brought against hillary clinton. " now peter strzok was removed from robert mueller's team probing the trump administration over earlier text messages showing anti-trump bias. let's bring in from the american center for law and justice jordan sekulow. i mean, it sounds good

why we see the text messages between peter strzok and lisa page. now sean, this is really interesting. before i got here, i was contacted by law enforcement officials, former fbi and current. they said get the text messages from andy mccabe. get his text messages. because there is a lot more where peter strzok and lisa page left off, there is a lot more to be seen there. once again, this is one piece of the puzzle at a time. this is what we have to do to uncover the truth. i think the american people will be just as shocked as congress and they will get answers shortly. >> sean: tell us where we are and do you agree with my calls for the fireings? >> oh, absolutely. top officials should be impeached. i suspect this intel document will reveal multiple felonies by high ranking officials and the fbi and the department of justice. there is a federal felony statute. it's called deprivation of rights. a government official cannot use their position of power to deprive somebody of their consitutional rights. here it's the constitution right to privacy uph

lisa page writing peter strzok... senator johnson is saying that he's trying to get to the bottom of it, as he should. senator johnson is also making news by releasing text messages from anti-trump fbi lovers peter strzok and lisa page that also highlight even further their extreme bias. just after midnight on may 19th, remember, it was gone from december 14th to the 16th of may, and then mueller was appointed and then they reappeared again. strzok appears to be talking about getting an offer to join mueller's investigation. by the way, strzok, "my answer is no, no, and then i think, wait, a case will be in history books? a chapter? you tell me about my extra time with the field that all the cases, would you trade it? a million people sit in adn staff jobs. this is a chance to do that may be most important case of our lives." the same guy that was saying earlier, there is no they are there. 30 minutes later, strzok asked page the question... did strzok have extra knowledge about robert mueller's end goal was going to

see more steps from lisa page and peter strzok. what are your thoughts? >> if you extrapolate that is 65 texts a day. did they have opportunity to do their jobs at the fbi? it appears abundantly clear they harbored an anti-trump animus and unabashed adoration for hillary clinton. it influenced their decisions -- and they were involved in clearing hillary clinton and launching an investigation against a political candidate, donald trump, and spying on him, it's an abuse of power, felony crime and you have the doj trying to cover up the four-page intel memo. as nixon one says it's not the crime it's the cover-up. >> sean: let's go to the new development, sara, you caught this in your article tonight on saracarter.com and jason, the idea is if the investigation leads to impeachment there's no there, there. f the president and if i can get rid of him and this would make history. what do you think, sweetheart? that's what he's saying to his lover. >> that's a good synopsis but the only thing i'd add is the nexus to barack obama himself communicating under an a

liz: president trump went after peter strzok at fbi for the bias text. media saying that trump is criticizing the whole fbi, the entire bureau, h he is not boeig that, that is what the president said. the next president said, we're going over it, president obama, we're bringing in american sheriff david clark to talk about that, that is after this. so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. when heartburn hits fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast relief in every bite. crunchy outside. chewy inside. tum tum tum tum tums chewy bites. sometimes, they just drop in. obvious. cme group can help you navigate risks and capture opportunities. we enable you to reach global markets and drive forward with broader possibilities. cme group - how the world advances. ♪ liz: white house, saying this is a dramatic concession, a new immigration proposal, trump administration accept a path to citizenship for the daca individuals, but for broader

at the level below the guy running it, mueller, you have peter strzok. he saying i want to believe he can't get elected but i don't want to take that risk. if that was written by someone investigating hillary clinton, i would join you in denouncing that as terrifying. >> i guarantee you, if the facts where the russians were offering help, the clinton campaign said "lubbock," the russians offered help, and hillary clinton used that 1n trail, we would have impeachment proceedings, no question. >> tucker: i want to believe he can get elected but i can't take that risk. this is not a person in a position to influence the outcome, the full force behind , influence the outcome of the presidency. yes, he is. he is one of the officials running it -- >> robert mueller -- >> tucker: it doesn't bother you that the guy said "i can't take the risk that trump is going to get elected" he said the guy in guy investigating trump onha behalf of the fbi. >> he sent 50,000 text messages, 10,000 a month, how was he getting worked on? >> tucker: my third question. we've been

but peter strzok was the lead investigator. that's who interviewed hillary clinton. so these same two people whose bias was so insidious that bob mueller fired them the moment he find -- found out about it, they should be kicked to the curb, were the ones interviewing hillary clinton, editing the memo to take out references of president obama, edits references for grossly negligent, no, i can't prove to you that they were the final decision-makers, nor do i have to. what i have to prove to you is two really important people hated him, would have done anything to protect her and thank god michael found out about them while they were investigating. chris: we are running out of time here, there's clearly troubling evidence and clearly the memos are deeply troubling and go to it investigating that. there's also issues of potential hype by republicans and i want to give you an example, ron johnson brought up the issue of a secret society inside the justice department. here he is. >> what this is all about is further evidence of corruption, more than bias but corruption at

heather: one of the text messages between lisa page and peter strzok about the loretta lynch tarmac meeting in july where strzok says timing looks like hell, page says yeah that is awful timing and page says it is a real profile encourage that she knows no charges will be brought. that is pretty significant wording. >> loretta lynch said she was recused from the whole matter, keeping herself out of it. lisa page is not just and fbi agents, she is one of the lawyers at the fbi, one of the people dealing with justice department lawyers about it too, this raises questions about loretta lynch and her claims about not knowing anything. heather: we should point out the fbi saying they didn't have these text messages and lose them, they never had the text messages to begin with, that is what they were saying. >> i have a hard time believing that, part of the archiving system all federal government agencies have is they are supposed to back up everything. it is hard for me to believe for five months they didn't realize they weren't backing up text messages from their official devices the agents are

a bombshell report, we now know peter strzok was highly skeptical of launching the russia collusion probe from the get-go. >> the gop lawmaker says he has brand-new evidence proving there was a secret society working against the commander-in-chief. griff jenkins live in dc. >> a rare glimpse at communication between these officials under fire for alleged bias against the president, new text messages suggesting two days after robert mueller took over the russia probe, he was hesitant to join the team. writing to lisa page, the odds are nothing, if it was likely i would be there no question. i hesitate, there is no big there is there. he referenced unfinished business on the clinton email investigation using the fbi's code for the case, needing to finish the business. and furious about fbi's 5-month gap of missing messages between involved officials and the president weighing in on twitter, where are the 50,000 text messages between lisa page and peter struck. and ron johnson, and a secret society to work against the president. >> corruption, more than bias, corruption at the highest levels

this is from peter strzok to his girlfriend. this was the day robert mueller was appointed to the investigation. may 19th, 2017. he writes to his girlfriend, strzok does, this is talking before i read, collusion. you and i both know the odds are nothing. if i thought it was likely i'd be, it would be no question, i would be there no question. i hesitate in part because of my gut sense and concern there's no big there there. steve: there's no big there there. if you look at "the washington post" article how robert mueller wants to talk to the president. looks like he is not going down the line of collusion, but obstruction of justice. all president do look at text message, and look it is a witch-hunt. i can't trust the people at fbi because strzok himself texted this out to his girlfriend, for me, in this case i personally have a sense of unfinished business. unleashed it with mye, mid-year exam, that is hillary email caper. now i need to fix it and to finish it. the question what was he talking about there? we had andy mccarthy

but at the level below the guy running it, which is mueller and he's peter strzok. i can't take the risk. we don't know what that means. if that was written by someone investigating hillary clinton, i would join you in denouncing that as terrifying. >> i guarantee you if the facts were the russians offered help, the clinton campaign said love it, the rushes offered help and hillary clinton used that a hundred times on the campaign trail, we would have impeachment proceedings, i agree. >> i can't to believe he can't get elected but i can't take that risk, this is a person that is able to influence the outcome with the federal government behind it. he is influencing the president presidency. he is one of the -- >> the trump presidency will rise or fall on the facts that robert mueller -- >> so it doesn't bother you that he said i can't take the risk that trump will get elected says the guy investigating trump on behalf of the fbi? doesn't bother you? >> he sent 10,000 texts -- >> tucker: where are they? that's my third question. we've been told by the federal governme

. >>> more breaking news involving peter strzok. the official who was demoted after the anti-trump text messages. now cnn is learning that he had a major role in reopening that clinton e-mail investigation just ten days before the 2016 election. that's a decision you might recall that hillary clinton blames for her loss in the election. we have cnn on capitol hill breaking this story for us. tell us what you found. >> yeah. e-mails that we have obtained show that peter strzok played a key role in that major decision days before the 2016 election to send to it congress, reopening the clinton e-mail investigation, upending the clinton campaign at a such a critical motel. campaign season. these october 27, 2016 e-mails that we have obtained show that peter stocks are wrote the first draft, co-wrote it with another colleague, and they sent to it other fbi officials. and that was the base i of the letter sent to congress opening the investigation. we are told separately by a source familiar with it. that the e-mails were on the lap top o

strzok had begun his exoneration statement. here to break it all down, the author of "clinton cash," peter schweizer, and investigative reporter sarahep carter, and the man himself, john solomon. massive, overwhelming evidence that laws were broken. overwhelming. tons of -- volumes of classified material passed on. the exoneration before the investigation, john, it goes on from there. quoting one congressman as saying, the whole thing was rigged. in other words, it was rigged to exonerate her.

>> to walk back the history of this, peter strzok and lisa page both f.b.i. agents page apparent lestrzok's mistress back and forth talking about having an insurance policy. the president interpreting to mean an insurance policy to keep candidate trump from winning the white house. this is the f.b.i. we're talking about. i think that is -- that is treason. you see, that's treason. it is a treasonous act what he

those messages between anti-trump fbi officials, peter strzok and lisa page, lovers, it turns out after all. the recovery of those texts required less than a week after officials claim they had lost the messages. that at one point seemed to be blaming samsung. no more. we don't yet know who is to blame, but at least samsung has been exonerated, as say say at doj. doj officials also trying to stop the release of that house intel memo detailing surveillance abuses. the department of justice says that release would be extraordinarily reckless and seeks to block it. the intelligence committee with the support of the white house says the justice department can just stand down and relax. and continues to block doj and the fbi from seeing the house intel blockbuster memo. congressman andy biggs and judicial watch president tom fenton among or guests tonight. they join me to discuss the corruption at the highest levels. >>> as the drama in the swamp rages on, president trump above it all, elbow to elbow with elites meeting in davos. president trump taking davos by storm, arriving this morning a

attorney general jeff sessions confirms fbi agent peter strzok and lisa paige exchanged more than 50,000 text messages for two years, some of those texts are missing. sessions without the justice department will leave no stone unturned in searching for them. lawmakers want to know if any criminal activity has taken place. >> we need a second special counsel to get to the bottom of this and answer the questions we have. >> reporter: republicans are concerned about corruption in the fbi's leadership referring to this text that reveals strzok's reference to an insurance policy and meeting in andy's office, went on to say, throwing out for consideration in andy's office, there is no way trump gets elected, but i'm afraid we can't take that risk. goes on to say that like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die when you are 40. that and others have lawmakers concerned certain fbi agents are operating a secret society meant to discredit zen candidate donald trump. >> you have this insurance policy in spring of 2016 and the day after the election, the day after, what they didn't want t

we'll share with you from the trump-bashing fbi lovers, peter strzok and lisa page and it will prove we've been on the right page. and fox news found the memo detailing major fisa abuses against the trump campaign, that will be released likely next week and tonight a stunning report hillary clinton protected a senior adviser on her 2008 campaign accused of sexually harassing a young staffer. a lot to get to. we start with friday's breaking news and opening monologue. glad you're with us. members of the trump-hating media, we know you're watching. news flash, president trump did not -- let me repeat, did not fire the special counsel robert mueller. you ideologues need to take a deep breath or xanax or drink and breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth and see if you can stop with the hysteria and listen closely, president trump did not fire the special counsel robert mueller. in fact, the president and his legal team have been more than cooperative. they've voluntarily handed over 20,000 pages and robert mueller has collected 1.4 million pages of documents from the campai

peter strzok, this individual who was in charge of an investigation that we have long maintained as a witch hunt, there is no collusion, no obstruction, no evidence of wrongdoing and now this individual has been removed from the case for political bias. thousands of text messages missing is a huge problem. this goes to a wider problem we've been talking about, political malfeasance and bias in the highest ranks of the fbi and department of justice, this is a reason why the president nominated christopher wray as the fbi director, to clean it up and move us forward with an fbi that's above political bias and questioning. we think this development is good, we want to make sure that as many messages are recovered as possible and that the truth about political bias of the highest ranks of the fbi is made available to the public. >> harris: it's also an interesting detail that they are looking at other people's phones, we will follow the facts as they go. i understand that the president is looking forward to sitting down potentially with the special counsel robert mueller. he said that and

the conclusion, one of the reasons they were reluctant to do so, according to peter strzok is because his gut sense was there is no big "there" there. this nation has been dragged through this investigation so far. no conclusions yet. one of the lead investigators, one of the deputy assistant director of the counterintelligence division that had been working on this for those five months, those texts have gone missing is saying his concern is there is no big "there" there? that is jaw-dropping. >> bret: when pressed, the senate minority leader today said this is all of it, the memo and this, part of a distraction effort by republicans to take away from the mueller investigation. take a listen. >> i think there has been a great deal of activity on the other side intending to either divert attention from mueller or stand in his way. i don't think mr. nunes has played a constructive role to say the least and we are all worried about it. mueller has to be allowed to do his job. >> bret: your thoughts. >> from my standpoint, these are federal records and we are involved in the hillary clin

text messageses between peter strzok and his fbi lawyer mistress lisa page. also tonights the fix is in. we have been right all along. the fbi saying they lost five key months of text messages between the two lovers strzok and page this. is a conspiracy to obstruct justice. i'm not buying it. part of the problem it's a troubling pattern. what do we see over and over again? hillary and debris and the list goes on and on. the ira case. remember. that this looks worst then watergate and a cover up worst then watergate. our 18 minutes of missing tape has shown up in this case. this comes as we see that strzok, page and loretta lynch knew hillary clinton would go free in the e-mail investigation before they investigated or interviewed her. and systemic abuse against the trump campaign. this is one of the biggest abuses of power in american history it's time you, the american people get the truth. we're once again calling on to you contact congress. let them know you want the memo released. we want you to send out, we want the text messages. now the government shut

should that be a big issue or comey and peter strzok writing an exoneration before an investigation? or the uranium one issue? why would anyone have ever allowed 20% of america's uranium to go to vladimir putin, especially knowing about bribery, extortion, kick backs, and money laundering, you know, a year and a half earlier? robert mueller knew about it. so, do the republicans -- does the republican party have an obligation now to go after what we did find as a result of the investigation that the democrats never really expected to find? >> i don't think it's just about republicans or democrats. the very core of the united states is a belief in the rule of law. because as the rule of law which protects the weak from the strong. it's a rule of law that protects the weak from the strong. it is the rule of law that protects every citizen from the government. we have an obligation as americans to want to know whether or not the justice department has been corrupted,n whether or not senior leaders of the fbi have been corrupted. we have an obligation to find out whether or not they were

peter strzok replied. i called bill and relayed what we discussed. he agrees. i will email you and the same. it piles on the notion that you had key those in the intelligence community, in this case the fbi who might have been plotting, certainly their bias against trump, they are wearing it on their sleeves. their disdain for candidate trump was visceral. >> definitely pulling punches. >> this is classic. more information is going to couple, charles. i have got to tell you all this takes my breath away. thank goodness trump is in office. if hillary clinton was elected president we would not know the depth and expansion of all of the corruption and all of the nonsense going on with people in these positions that are abusing their positions in government. charles: today tri, you were an elected official. we talk about the rule of law and the ability to trust our government. these intelligence agencies, we note average fbi agent is out there working his or her tail off. everyone is embarrassed by this. the notion that these higher ups may have tried to manipulate

once bob mueller townsd found out about the text messages he took peter strzok off the investigation. it is possible these two agents were stupid and mueller investigation is still credible. >> sandra: they were elevated to extremely high level. they are not low level employees. >> maria: both things are possible, aren't they? >> harris: i'm laughing at that what you are talking about is incompetence. >> maria: you are saying it's totally corrupted at the core. >> harris: i'm not saying that. two agents flies in the face that they might have had a motive to do something to keep the president out of the white house. those two things are not necessarily exclusive. >> maria: drawing so many conclusions from a complete set of text messages. >> harris: by the way i didn't mention mueller's name. >> maria: hearing from them and putting them in context. >> sandra: we are hearing from them. we are reading their text messages. >> harris: if they had 50,000 of mine it would be a pretty complete picture. >> maria: what i don't like harris and sandra because you are both looking at me like i'm cr

rosenstein has also agreed to turnover all e-mails sent between fbi agent peter strzok and fbi lawyer lisa page by this thursday. strzok and page exchanged anti- trump text messages during the presidential campaign and talked about needing an insurance policy. should donald trump win the presidency? joining me right now is congressman trey gowdy of south carolina the chairman of the house oversight committee a member of the house judiciary and intel committees. congressman it's a pleasure to have you thanks so much for spending the time. >> thank you. maria: do you now have the documents that you have been requesting since august to best assess whether or not there was a massive a a because of power at the fbi around the election last year? >> i think we have an agreement they will produce the documents you're right we asked for them in august we shouldn't have had to wait until january to gain access but i'll be back up there monday. i don't think devon looked at the documents yet. we got an agreement last week they would provide them to us. maria: what is your sense in terms of what

the president weighing in on thousands of missing text messages between peter strzok and lisa page, many related and with anti-trump bias. federal law-enforcement official says a few thousand fbi employee cell phones may have been affected during that 5-month period and they are taking steps to recover those messages. according to sean hannity he can confirm the department of justice has started recovering some of the 5-month of those messages speaking at the doj, also taking action on the release of that dossier, house intelligence committee chair devon nunez not to do it in a letter obtained by fox news, stephen boyd says it would be reckless to release it publicly. rob: donald trump says his administration has nothing to hide amid reports he will be meeting with robert mueller. jillian: a face-to-face interview would be a, quote, suicide mission, here is why. >> understandable why the president is confident, he knows he has done the wrong but a first year law student would tell you this is an obvious perjury trap, robert mueller is taking advantage of the president's loquacious in thi

i want to address those texts between lisa paige and peter strzok. two key figures in both the clinton and trump investigations. in february of 2016 during the clinton email probe, page sends this text. one more thing, she might be our next president. the last thing you need, asked voted, going in there. you think she's going to remember or care that it was more doj, department of justice and fbi? strzok responds, agreed. i called bill and relayed what we discussed. he agrees. i will email you and redacted. there's no question that is a deeply troubling political -- the question i have is did strzok and page have the power to protect quentin on the one hand and to get trump on the other? >> representative gowdy: did they have the power to protect her? the decision after charger was made before she was ever interviewed. how would you like that deal? >> chris: i guess the question is was that just peter strzok or was that a lot of other people who weren't party to these clearly biased and outrageous texts? >> representative gowdy: i think what you will

>> does it bother you that lisa page and peter strzok were the key people -- peter strzok, deputy head of counterintelligence at the fbi, saying the things he said about president trump. >> that's why mueller removed him. >> yeah, but he first picked him and put him on the team. but for the inspector general doing this investigation, we wouldn't have known this stuff. >> inspector general, which is in-house accountability by the same organization that you're saying may be corrupt. >> exactly right. >> well, that kind of fights your premise, though. you got all this information from the inspector general. it's not like nunes, who doesn't read the confidential information, dug it up himself. >> true we got it from the inspector general, but this memo is still important. as i said, i want you to see it. >> what if it's wrong. >> more importantly, i want the american people to see it. >> i can't judge it because i don't know what it's based on. >> that's why i called for having the underlying sources referenced cited, footnoted. the fbi can release it. the justice department can say, you k

peter strzok said boy, that was fast. does it show bias with the guys at the fbi? >> it is certainly a very serious problem for the fbi. the american people have to have their trust restored in this incredible institution. and the only way to really do that is to have a spoinl appointed for the hillary clinton investigation and find out what's -- to find out what's gone on there, but also to cover what these fbi agents, what these investigators were up to as it related to really undermining president trump and whether it was candidate trump or president-elect trump and now president trump. these fbi agents have their own agenda and it's very dangerous for our democracy to have the highest levels of our law enforcement seem to have a political agenda that they were sharing amongst themselves. we're going to have to dig down into that. >> i want you to respond to former fbi assistant director jim kallstrom about what's going on in the fbi, roll tape. >> it's clear now that there was a conspiracy involving, i hate to say, people in the fbi, you know, comey and his syc

that same peter strzok whose is deputy head of counter-intelligence. that's stuff we knew. >> martha: alan who was a member of the obama administration who went on msnbc and let's play what she said. >> i was urging my former colleagues and the people on the hill. it was more aimed at telling the hill people. get as much information as you can before president obama leaves the administration. i game very worried. not enough was coming out into the open. i knew there was more. we have very good intelligence on russia. then i talked to some of my former colleagues. i knew they were trying to get information to the hill. >> martha: their argument was they uncovered this collusion that we have been talking about forever between the trump campaign and russia. they were so concerned with what they have found. they lowered the bar for classified information so more people could get their hands on it. they admitted that in the "new york times" article. they wanted to be sure those tea leaves were still out there so it would not get dropped. is that part of it?

i don't think fox news and talk radio appointed peter strzok either. i will tell you this, no amount of scapegoating is going to make this any better. robert mueller could be the greatest guy, the smartest guy ever, but if the man cannot oversee his own team and remove the partisans, then you have to conclude he is either in over his head or he's just not good for this role, or his negligent in his duty. and that will compromise the ultimate findings of this investigation, whatever they may be. i also want to say this. trump's team made some mistakes early on. i do not think, and i've said this before, it was smart to fire jim comey when needed. and it wasn't wise to talk talk to lester holt about the decision to fire jim comey. and if the story is true, it probably would not have asked acting fbi to direct or how he voted in the election, i wouldn't have done that either. the president has to be extra mindful given the fact that he had already kicked off the intel community with his promise of reforms, and of course some of his criticisms. you kick th

he was grilled by the house oversight committee about the fact that he and peter strzok were involved in drafting comey's statement exonerating hillary clinton before she was even interviewed by the fbi in that email probe. sarah sanders at the white house, by the way, reiterated today that the president's support supportive of rank and file fbi agents. she has 100% confidence and wray is to make necessary changes. it's also interesting that sarah sanders said that the white house is for full transparency when it comes to the house intelligence committee and that four page memo about alleged obama era surveillance of trump officials, the idea that they want transparency, that means the member will probably come out very soon. >> shannon: ed henry, thank you very much. my next guest has seen some of the tens of thousands of texts exchanged by two fbi officials who sent anti-trump messages during the 2016 campaign and beyond. he claims those tax include a reference to a quote secret society and it could be something aimed at undermining the president. joining us now, texas republican co

so during the election, peter strzok text this, he says timing looks like hell. will appear to be chore graphed. that's when paige text back and yeah it's a real profile in courage since she knows that no charges will be brought. senator johnson wrote to the d.o.a. and loretta lynch knew that no charges would be brought when she made that announcement to leave the fbi to handle the investigation, that she would step out of it. so in the meantime, despite these texts that have come out, senator ron johnson is also requested that the fbi hand over messages that were exchanged between strzok and paige on their personal devices because all of these texts are from their fbi devices. senator johnson says that some of those might contain official business and one more thing here, john, senator ron johnson says he wants more info on what was a technical glitch that actually prevented texts that were sent between these two between december 2016 so right after the election and then may 17th, 2017, that was the day that robert mueller was appointed as special counsel. there

peter strzok is one of the fbi agents who interviewed michael flynn at the white house. he was later removed from the investigation by robert mueller. it's not clear, the specifics of his personal views, whether they affected his work. there are some newly revealed messages that show he may have balked at joining the team in the first place noting he didn't think there was any "there" there, the context there not entirely clear. back to you. >> i need my panel to weigh in on this, a lot to unpack. msnbc national security analyst jeremy bash. former democratic senator from my home state of new jersey, bob f f toricelli, and nan hayworth. senator, i always go to my home state first. these latest developments sound more like obstruction. >> you know, i just don't believe my lyin' eyes. i agree with you, this morning it is overwhelming. everyone seems to be interviewed, and on the same subject, all headed towards the president. but indicting a president of the united states on obstruction of justice isn't like going after you or me. prosecutors call this, it has to be a head

peter strzok at the center of this, the key investigator in the russian conclusion investigation. who knows what evidence he has gathered as a result of this k partisanship that has now been tainted. i think there is this race going on at this point where mueller is trying to get donald trump interviewed before this memo comes out and before more text messages come out that further undermine his already really low quality investigation. >> tucker: the president could declassify it by the end of this show. >> click his heels three times, we could get the fisa warrant rather than relying on congress. >> tucker: we ought to. thank you. chris hahn, a radio show host, former aide to chuck schumer. chris, thanks for coming on. >> any time, tucker. >> tucker: i don't know what is in this memo, no one who has seen it has described it, they said it is a big deal. as a citizen, i want to know, i think that's my right. does this make me an unwitting tool of vladimir putin, as schiff and feinstein suggested yesterday? >> no, as long as you consider the source. this was written by devin nuness
