the f.b.i.'s decisions or actions, the appearance of bias is disconcerting and potentially damaging to the f.b.i.'s ability to perform its mission. law enforcement must not only avoid actual bias, but also the appearance of bias. mr. schumer: thank you, senator feinstein. senator warner. mr. warner: thank you, senator schumer. let me just -- two or three quick points. one, i think this is an example where the system worked. there were concerns raised. the inspector general did a thorough and lengthy review. pointed out mistakes were made. so that the white house and its allies that continue to make attacks against the integrity of virtually everyone who works at the department of justice, and at the f.b.i., i hope would go on to a bit of a pause. here was an example where the system worked and there are two conclusions i draw from the report. one, no political bias. and two, the actions of the then-f.b.i. director more than one time actually benefited mr. trump's campaign and his election chances

not the f.b.i. but i know about manna for deals that were twelve years old this is how desperate it's become in order to try to get some indictments i think it's pretty pathetic at this point and it's good for us to know the truth ok that and that's what we all want on this panel and our viewers we want the truth so let's continue down the path i'm interested in what mr struck will have to say many thanks and i guess in washington and in new york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember topples. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten point zero or timestamping. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be old for the rich eight point six percent. markets saw a thirty percent rise one is pure film with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial plant but don't

the f.b.i. but i know about manna for deals that were twelve years old this is how desperate it's become in order to try to get some indictments i think it's pretty pathetic at this point and it's good for us to know the truth ok and that's what we all want on this panel in our viewers we want the truth so let's continue down the path i'm interested in what mr struck will have to say many thanks and i guess in washington and in new york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember stumbles. like the many flips over the gay. yes so i know the game inside guides. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman to just kill you narrowness and spending through the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy but great so well paul chimes with. and makes this point it's.

the f.b.i.'s mission is to protect the american people and uphold the constitution. to carry out that mission we're entrusted with a lot of authority. so our actions are subject to close over-- eversight from the courts, from the courts and entities like the inspector general. that's how it should be. that kind of examination that kind of oversight, makes the f.b.i. stronger as an organization and makes the pling more safe. with that in mind, let me briefly address the findings in the inspector general's report. i take this report very seriously and we accept the findings and recommendations. it's also important, though, to note what the inspector general did not find this report did not find any evidence of political bias or improper considerations actually impacting the investigation under review. the report does identify errors of judgment, violations of or even disregard for policy and decisions that at the very least , with the benefit of hindsight, were not the best choices. we've already s

the f.b.i.'s standards. the report makes clear that we have significant work to do and we are going to learn from the report and be better as a result. at the same time, this report is focused on a specific set of events back in 2016 and a small number of f.b.i. employees connected with those events. mistakes made by those employees do not define our 37,000 men and women and the great work they do every day. nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole. i want to be very clear with the f.b.i. that i have been able to see up close every day in the 10 months since my confirmation hearing before you all. i have been meeting with employees from over 0 field offices and offices from overseas and headquarters division and over and over again, i hear remarkable stories about the work our men and women are doing to uphold the institution. we have rescued over 1,300 children from child predators. and arrested more than 4,600 violent gang members. in the past several months, we

the f.b.i.'s mission is to protect the american people and uphold the constitution. to carry out that mission we're entrusted with a lot of authority. so our actions are subject to close oversight from the courts, from our elected leaders, and from independent entities like the inspector general. that's how it should be. that kind of examination, that kind of oversight, makes the f.b.i. stronger as an organization and makes the pling -- the public more safe. with that in mind, let me briefly address the findings in the inspector general's report. i take this report very seriously and we accept the findings and recommendations. it's also important, though, to note what the inspector general did not find. this report did not find any evidence of political bias or improper considerations actually impacting the investigation under review. the report does identify errors of judgment, violations of or even disregard for policy and decisions that at the very least, with the benefit of hindsight, were no

the f.b.i. director and rod rosenstein. they'll be in there a day after the anti-trump agent peter strzok faced 11 hours of questions from republicans. jim jordan was in that room and one of six doing the questioning. good morning to you before you head to the hearing room. i was surprised by john ratcliffe's commentary a moment ago. he said peter strzok did not help himself and did not help bob mueller. what happened there? >> very true. well, we can't get into all the details until the transcript is released but when mr. ratcliffe was questioning mr. strzok yesterday about the day he was kicked off the mueller team, about the day he was fired, frankly, and what took place in that very short meeting i think john is right. it doesn't help peter strzok or bob mueller. >> bill: does it make you wonder? >> i can't get into the details until we release the transcript. >> we'll be patient on that. we have a hearing coming up and the story will take on a new flavor in 15 minutes. do you wonder if pete

the f.b.i. took in the run up to the presidential election in twenty six the most from the inspector general of the justice department are you likely very politely told to get lost you didn't miss anything and you didn't apologize for anything or you wiped out the way. that. flawed human i hope like we all recognize that we are and i think i meant what i said about the inspector general i respect their work i respect their criticism you just don't agree with me well there's a fair number of things i said i agree with but the two big criticisms are about the two most important decisions i made and i'd be lying if i said i think that criticism as accurate i do think it's fair though and reasonable. what about the criticism that really jumped off the page was the department's revelation that you used a private e-mail account in violation of official political now from spent a year and a half investigating hillary clinton's handling of her own e-mail there's hypocrisy it's not but it does reflect th

he immediately calls the f.b.i. the f.b.i. two weeks later flies to london in the headquarters and meets with christopher steel who tells them all about trump/russia collusion. it was phony evidence. three weeks later, the f.b.i. opens its investigation and only thereafter do they startrt lookg into papadopoulos. >> the next shoe to drop is the information about russian dirt on hillary was clearly pulled out of the campaign by the f.b.i. who pushed it in there? that's going to be the next shoe to drop. >> hannity: ok, playing close attention. dr. gorka? >> the suspect number one is john brennan. and he wouldn't have moved a muscle unless obama knew as well. >> hannity: boom. ok. it's all collapsing and they're turning on each other.. did you notice that? mccabe. comey. all going to be circular firing squad. >> it is. >> hannity: and peter struck and lisa paige. wait until you see it -- i have it. wait. i have it right here, i just can't show it today. i'll show it tomorrow. all right, jessie watt.-- stay e breaking news. ivank

it before the f.b.i. announcing separate from the department of justice but given the situation of the attorney general was in my view that what situation she was in that the attorney general was in the view of a reasonable american compromised at that point and couldn't credibly announce the closure of the investigation so i think she implicitly acknowledged herself by saying she would accept my recommendation and my view was and honestly it still is even though i understand the criticism that if i had announced it with the attorney general the american people would not have had confidence in the result and the best although still a bad choice but the best of the choices was to announce it separately you said mrs clinton's handling of her e-mails have been extremely khamis my question to you since when is it the job of the federal law enforcement officer to judge whether politicians or indeed any citizens behavior is careless our job is to investigate the conduct of the subject of the investigation and d

the f.b.i. suggest prosecution for hillary clinton and her team because the inspector general's report lays out very clearly that some of the emails did have classified markings and that some of the emails were compromised by foreign nations? number two, they want to know why some of the f.b.i. employees still have jobs. >> i want to know why people are still working for the department of justice and the f.b.i. who clearly showed wrongdoing. there has to begin to be some consequence to circumventing the law to do things you aernt supposed to do. >> a handful of republicans are asking the f.b.i. to identify the handful of employees who are subject to review right now and may face disciplinary action, sandra. >> sandra: what are democrats going to focus on here? >> if the senate hearing yesterday is any yardstick what we expect the democrats to focus on after a year and a half of investigation the inspector general couldn't find any evidence that showed really a direct line between political bias

well the f.b.i. had done a review the f.b.i. reviewed and declined to investigate for mishandling of classified information they say it's obeying the rules and following procedure which is what they criticize you for violating well there's no doubt that i deviated as they say from the norms but there was nothing normal about the investigation of one of the two candidates for president of the united states during the election but is that an excuse for insubordinate and extraordinary actions which is what they used to know certainly not it's and it's an explanation as to why how we saw the decisions and why we chose bad over worse in each of the key circumstances they don't accept that . well they do think this way it differently they think the better to take take because the decision we had to make close to the election to tell congress we restarted the investigation instructor general's view is i had a choice between speaking or not speaking and i should have not spoken i get that and i respect that i think that under way has th

announced the f.b.i. would not recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton you announced it separately from the department of justice you told them just a few minutes before you did so i thought of my entire leadership team saw that was the way best calculated to protect the institutions of justice incredibly unusual fact i'd never heard of it before the f.b.i. announcing separate from the department of justice but given the situation of the attorney general was it my view that what situation she was in that the attorney general was in the view of a reasonable american compromised at that point and couldn't credibly announce the closure of the investigation so i think she implicitly acknowledged herself by saying she would accept my recommendation and my view was and honestly it still is even though i understand the criticism they're fighting now sit with the attorney general the american people would not have had confidence in the result and the best although still a bad choice but the best of the

the f.b.i.'s decisions or actions, the appearance of bias is disconcerting and potentially damaging to the f.b.i.'s ability to form -- perform its mission. law enforcement must not only avoid actual bias, but also the ppearance of bias. mr. schumer: thank you, senator feinstein. senator warner. mr. warner: thank you, senator schumer. let me just -- two or three quick points. one, i think this is an example where the system worked. there were concerns raised. the inspector general did a thorough and lengthy review. pointed out mistakes were made. so that the white house and its allies that continue to make attack against the integrity of virtually everyone who works at the department of justice, and at the f.b.i., i hope would go on to a bit of a pause. here was an example where the system worked and there are two conclusions i draw from the report. one, no political bias. and two, the actions of the then-f.b.i. director more than one time actually benefited mr. trump's campaign and his election c

of the f.b.i. and still horowitz is claiming it doesn't affect the hillary clinton e-mails. and we are going to show you why he is wrong and a two- teared justice in this country is alive and well and why robert mueller must wrap up a flawed investigation conducted by the high ranking investigators who gave hillary clinton a get out of the jail free card. and ig confirmed james comey is under investigation for mishandling classified information. and why he is in serious legal trouble and dive in to the media's favorite obsession. policy of separating illegal immigrant families detained in the border and how border enforcement is used by people on the left to trash the president and misleading you the american people. of course, ahead of the midterms. it is time for the news breaking opening monologue. the unspecter general has a lot of explaining to do. his report was released and shows huge massive missteps and corruption and mistakes surrounding the f.b.i. and department of justice in the so- cal

the top guy at the f.b.i. fired. the number two guy at the f.b.i. fired. this report apparently says the attorney general was doing things that were wrong. which i believe means you eventually will get to valerie jarrett and barack obama. >> harris: that is where i want to go with you, marie harf. you have a line of command that would reach to the president, to the white house potentially. >> marie: maybe. >> harris: i said, "potentially." >> marie: first it's a draft report so we don't know if there are caveats or context. we have to wait and read it together when it's finalized. i always said about james comey. he is by no means a perfect public servant. i think he has done damage to his reputation and a lot of democrats hate him, too. that being said, some of the criticisms he has raised can also be true. so we have to sort to separate those out. >> harris: like what? what are you talking about? >> marie: some of his criticisms of president trump and the fact president trump fired him in part because of the russia investigation can still be problematic

and the f.b.i. took in the run up to the presidential election in twenty six the most from the inspector general at the justice department where you are likely very politely told to get lost you didn't say anything and you didn't apologize for anything you white or the like. but you know that i'm a flawed human i hope like we all recognize that we are and i i meant what i said about the inspector general i respect their work i respect their criticism you just don't agree with any well there's a fair number of things i said i agree with but the two big criticisms are about the two most important decisions i made and i'd be lying if i said that i think that criticism as accurate i do think it's fair though and reasonable. what about the criticism that really jumped off the page was the department's revelation that you used a private e-mail account in violation of official political now from maryland who spent a year and a half investigating hillary clinton's handling of her own e-mail so this get publ

it was only when the f.b.i. got involved again that they were able to actually test the hairs so the f.b.i. lab itself was the lab that eventually determined the john huffington could not be matched her d.n.a. to these hairs. they were able to interpret the shoddy work of their own analyst we reached out to the f.b.i. for an interview but they refused our request in a written response they stated there is no reason to believe the f.b.i. laboratory employed flawed forensic techniques microscopic hair analysis is still conducted at the f.b.i. lab surprisingly the f.b.i. has offered to pay for d.n.a. testing in the manning case but the state of mississippi has refused if we are able to test those hair fragments we could possibly determined who the real perpetrator is or definitely exclude willie manning as being the force of the hair that was found in the car his mistress and his mr huffington and that's for us to decide. when we the truth before. i make comments on the charges against somebody can take you sir awa

how it got to the f.b.i. one liar gave information to peter strzok who was demoted because he is the head of the never trump movement in the deep state and no way any criminal prosecution can be brought against the president. instead of our speaker standing with us and putting the focus on the f.b.i.'s refusal to turn over documents to perform the oversight. he instead defended the f.b.i. we need the institutional to be for the congress and not defender of the deep state. >> lou: he is that and of k- street and wall street and koch brothers. he is sold out for years and we just wanted to check the record, and let me ask you. can you think much a time when the speaker was compelled to say there is no evidence of collusion despite financing a one year investigation by the f.b.i. and more than a year of the general council? i can't remember a time when he stood up and defended the president and said there is no evidence of collusion? that deeply troubles me. >> the other area is to have real accountability when

the f.b.i. officially opened the russia collusion investigation. a house intelligence committee source told fox news no physical records have been provide and briefing the congressional leadership known as "the gang of quit -- does not satisfy the subpoena. and they said the larger issue is the alleged abuse in the campaign by the f.b.i. and the justice departments. >> when do the investigations start? what did you do with president trump's campaign? why can't you answer that question? what money did you spend on it? why didn't you advise the president when running you had concerns or not or was it derived by another reason? in my belief this is a fundamental question. >> facebook agent peter strozk who gives a closed door deposition on capitol hill shifted from the clinton e-mail to the russian investigation. he wrote e.c. that opened the probe. the republican chairman of the house judiciary committee who has direct oversight for the f.b.i. spoke to fox about investigating the f.b.i. investigat

so everything was kosher with that because the f.b.i. told us so, the same f.b.i. that did all those things i talked about. come on. the american people aren't buying that and neither am i. scott: are you confident the speaker should remain speaker? apparently one of your colleagues, matt gates from florida, said there are discussions in the capital right now about whether somebody else should be leading your conference heading into the midterm elections. representative jordan: scott, i'm where i said i was and i'm frustrated about that particular thing but the speaker said he's going to stay. that's fine. but i think -- i just think what he said about this doesn't make sense to me and is not consistent with the history. remember this, too, five of the top people at the f.b.i. have been fired or demoted. when have you ever seen a federal agency where that took place? comey has been fired. andy mccabe, deputy director, fired, lied three times under oath according to inspector general horowitz and face as criminal referral. jim baker, chief counsel demoted. lisa paig

the f.b.i. to monitor the trump campaign. and there is possible misconduct. and sarah carter blowing the whistle on more spying abuse against the trump campaign including a coordinated effort to monitor trump associate by our closest allies abroad. this is beginning to get so much bigger than we ever thought. both solomon and sarah carter will be here. and john brennan is calling president trump parinoid. and we'll respond to brennan's latest ridiculous meltdown and highlight the growing calls for deputy attorney general rod rosenstein to recuse himself from the muler investigation. and lindsay graham will join us. stay with us. >> tonight, major, major progress on three big fronts, eville with the president and north korea and the noeshgdzs. the june 12th summit is back. and only hours ago, a top lieutenant from north korea hand delivered a note to president trump. it was basic but reportedly expressed kim jong-un's interest in holding the nuclear summit and this is how the president reacted. w

and the f.b.i. some look bladder if there were more people how does it affect how they treat supporters? how deep do you see it going? there are thoughts that people lose their job. >> melissa: what if you had the new york police department that discovered texts talking about a group of people in this way? do you imagine the outrage and how they would say how can you possibly take care of and enforce the law around and be fair to this group of people when you talk about them like that? >> kennedy: that is the argument when you talk about criminal justice reform. if you feel targeted and you don't have a voice -- >> harris: great example. >> kennedy: we concentrate more power within the agencies like the f.b.i. >> harris: you point to the nugget that i like to talk to you. diversity is diversity, whether it's skin color, or thoughts. >> peter strozk engaged in the text messages was not in charge of the fish and wildlife. he is in charge of the counterintelligence for the f.b.i. it doesn't get more se

the inspector general at the f.b.i. is the one we are waiting f he will have the full report of what went right and wrong in the hillary clinton. i suspect it's a bad hair day for peter strozk when it happens. >> jon: strozk, we know that james comey who was then the director of the f.b.i. was drafting his controversial statement -- it came out in may -- when he exonerated hillary clinton and called her extremely careless, rather than reckless. he tone down the language of the speech but did so before he even spoke to hillary clinton and peter strozk was all part of the investigation. >> yeah, look, i go into this pretty much as an institutionalist. i like to believe in the f.b.i. what is alternative to think after a review they got it wrong. do with that? the more you read you have to wonder if there was ever a rious investigation into hillary clinton. one of the e-mails that come out from peter strozk and his lover was an e-mail saying that we all know that hillary clinton is it no going to get indicted. that was some

that the f.b.i. is restored to the grandeur it had in years past. >> bill: you're right about that. peter strzok, richard, says he will testify and won't take the fifth. we await that. what is your takeaway? >> we have to wait to see what his testimony says. if you look at the i.g. report that came out he indicated these text messages didn't have any sort of -- they didn't get involved in the mid year review of what led to the russia investigation and i think it's important for the viewers at home to know what is happening at the f.b.i. is completely distinct and separate from the mueller investigation which has shown a number of trump associates two have been guilty of engaging in wrongdoing and crimes against the united states of america. we have to disconnect the two to make sure that we understand what's really happening here. >> bill: that's mueller's job. he cannot use anything that strzok used for a period of nine months to a year regarding the russia matter. mueller has to do that independent

all the wrongdoing that took place in the top level of the f.b.i. and justice department. we need to focus on those things and when we do that, the will -- speaker will take care of itself but let's do what the american people sent us here to do. i've been encouraged, frankly, in many ways, amazed at the support we've received, about every major conservative organization has endorsed a number of mr. hannity's endorsements and ben shapiro has talked about it and we've been encouraged by that but that's for down the road. right now we need to do what we told the people we would do and head into the midterm elections and keep the majority. scott: a lot of the same folks also said in the event the republicans lose the house of representatives this november that you would make a great minority leader just because you sort of have a reputation for being a pit bull, a political pit bull, attack dog, you know, somebody who could be a good opposition leade representative jordan: i always have a smile on my face. pit bull, attack dog? to make sure we keep the

the f.b.i.'s activities during the twenty sixth election it focuses on former f.b.i. director james comey on his humbling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation but it also reveals details of the trump messages sent by a senior f.b.i. agent who went on to head the trump russia collusion probe but was removed because of the text james not ever going to become president right right no no he won't we'll stop it well apart from the report also fine collusion between the bureau and the media apparently agents receive certain benefits from reporters in exchange for insider information or taking a closer look at all volunteers artie's kill of my pen we now have the long awaited report from the inspector general michael horowitz on the u.s. justice department now the report shows a pretty clear record of collusion between mainstream media and the f.b.i. we identified instances where f.b.i. employees improperly receive benefits from report says including tickets to sporting events golf now things dr

the new f.b.i. director worked for comey. >> lou: did you hear that smug self rightous. >> how do you investigate hillary who violated the law and took government documents. and they are all doing the same thing. >> lou: they are contacting government business doing what she did without regard for what was classified and confidential or top secret information. and commie did the same thing. >> including grand jury tell, all of which are against the law. >> lou: and the grand jury in >> and the documents. >> lou: none. wses in the clinton e-mail investigation or as they use the quaint term "the midterm investigation" rather than the clinton e-mail scandal. they didn't take any word of it befoe the grand jury. >> the bottom line they have one appointed by obama. over charging somewhere and spending too much for lunch or living up to the budget. it is not meant to investigate something like this. and they put aside the hillary thing that is the important thing. and the evidence that came out of this, t
