it definitely was a very different fbi. one of the interesting things is right now in the political climate we're in there's a large section of the country that feels very bad for the fbi, that the fbi is being maligned in our current era. 50 years ago as this stuff was coming out publicly, it was very different 40 years ago as it was being publicized that the fbi -- these were constitutional violations. essentially essentially spying on people for their political views. the fbi has evolved, it has changed, it is much more but, this but, this is important, it still continues in many respects to investigate those who are deemed to be threatening. black lives matter is an example that's come under suspicion for harboring or support organize being sympathetic to those who would promote violence. those have largely been spurious type of charges but it remands -- -- remains an fbi concern. >> can you explain who was targeted and the mechanics of how they were target and what devices were used? >> i'll speak to the group i looked

the fbi. the fbi's own history on their website they have a pretty long narrative description of their history. they link the creation of an fbi to the progressive movement that's active in that period of time. the progressive movement is sort of this belief that undergirds it is that the government must intervene to foster justice in an industrial society. the response to the sort of labor unrest, that we've talked about in previous classes and everything that went on, inspired that terrible kind of working conditions and so forth. so the progressive movement inspires things for example like the fda to insure that the food you're getting has labels on what you're eating is what you think you're eating. it will eventually lead to things like child labor laws. it is also then create this sort of nationwide law inforcement body. that is able to keep tabs on criminals throughout the country and just prior to this period of time. the fbi's history explains this creation, based on the need for law

fbi. they have an independent office, of professional responsibility, and as if at heart of our justice system and law enforcement system, no one trusts leadership of agency, the fbi, no one trusts leadership of the deputy of justice. and -- department of justice this wrong. >> we know that nobody trusts them, but, even more compelling to me is that fact they try to get this information christopher brawray and rod rosenstein, makt clear there was a cabal, an anti-trump conspiracy. lou: and devin nunes t to a dege david ho horowitz. >> you know. to a degree. lou: judge jeanine pirro it will ways, then some. catch justice with judge j. frederick motz eanine . great to see you. >> thank you. >> appreciate it up. >> next, more to fbi a long overdue tiring o smurking smug trump hating agent, peter strzok, we take up why fbi had to overturn their original decision, and just to demote, suss span him or you know -- suspend him or slap him on the wrist, that is not the way it worked out, we'll talk

the fbi did not include those issues on the application. >> not only did the fbi not that the dossier was unverified, they also knew there were credibility issues because of the way it was collected and the bias that was associated with that. >> democratic lawmakers said this is nothing more than an attempt to undermine the special's investigation. but democrats lawmakers did not attend yesterday's hearing. the house is in recess. they sent staffers instead. >> sean: with the author of the "ru "russian hoax,"greg jarrett and sarah carter with us. sarah carter you have new information relating to what happened. our reporting was accurate and more. bruce ohr never not before mueller with all of this information we now have? >> he never.before mueller and never went before john huber. this is incredible information. what we know now is nobody questioned bruce ohr. we know that congress is now going to call on nellie ohr to testify behind closed doors. >> sean: when do we get these transcripts? >> they hope they are available after labored. -- labor day. they want to talk to nellie ohr an

christopher steele was already communicating with the fbi, paid by the fbi, working for the fbi, why did he need to run the information that he handed to the fbi? when i give it directly to the fbi? why was bruce ohr involved? for some reason he was. my guess is because the associate deputy attorney general at the department of justice, one of the top justice department officials, that added weight to what they were trying to do about this dossier which was the key to everything. you don't need bruce ohr, he could have handed him the dossier which he did, also run it through bruce ohr, that is important issue we need to discuss and explore some more. shannon: we will look forward to that transcript, thank you for your time tonight. breaking news from arizona, fox news decision test can predict congresswoman kristen cinema will win the arizona democratic senate primary defeating attorney aboud to run against jeff flake. will be mc sally, ward or joe arpaio. that is next. ♪ >> shannon: right now we have the g.o.p. nominee hoping to run for senator jeff flake's seat. it is the congres

he was being paid by the fbi, working for the fbi. why did he need to run information through bruce ohr that he handed to the fbi? why not just give it directly to the fbi? why was bruce ohr involved at all? for some reason, he was. my guess is because he is deputy -- associate deputy attorney general. at the department of justice, one of the top justice department officials. that just adds have to end weight to what they were trying to do about this whole dossier, which was a key to everything. again, you didn't need to bruce ohr, christopher steele was working with the fbi. he could have handed him the dossier. why run it through bruce ohr and tim give it to the fbi? that is an important issue that we need to discuss and explore more. >> shannon: congressman jim jordan, we look forward to the transcript. thank you for your content, sir sir. breaking news from arizona, the fox news decision desk can now project that congresswoman kyrtsen sinema will win the arizona democratic senate's primary defeating attorney for a chance to succee

the fbi. the fbi's own history, if you go on their website, they have a long narrative description of their history and they link the creation of the fbi to the progressive movement that was active at that turn of the century. the progressive movement believed that the federal government must intervene to foster justice in an industrial society. a response to the labor unrest that we have talked about in previous classes and everything that inspired that, terrible working conditions, and so forth. so it inspires things like the fda, to ensure that the food you are getting has labels and what you are eating is actually what you think you are eating. it will lead to things like child labor laws. it will also create this sort of nationwide law enforcement body that is able to keep tabs on criminals throughout the country and did not exist prior to this period in time. based on the need for a law enforcement agency in the face of labor conflict, the rise of crime, and corruption in politics and bi

the fbi encourages dr. martin luther king to kill himself because he's such a threat to the nation in their view. the fbi offers this tape -- king does not obviously kill himself. the fbi then offers to turn this tape over to the press. the press turns him down and the fbi backs off in the face of investigation and electronic surveillance. the timing works out in his favor i suppose. lyndon johnson takes over for john f. kennedy. it should be formally outlawed. there's a couple of supreme court cases. both in 1964 and in these cases the supreme court changes it's tune. wiretaps have to follow the same procedures. there must be probable cause. the people initiating the wire trap have to specify the crime. specify the place to be searched. specify the conversations to be seized. in 1968 congress follows suit. set specific standards for obtaining wiretaps. this will not stop. they'll target other confrontational political groups including the black panther party that it helps to destroy with informants, misinf

his top deputy, the number two official at the fbi running the day-to-day operations of the fbi and the investigation, he, too, has been fired. turned into a political punching bag and removed from office. now the head of the counter intelligence division at the fbi, the lead agent on that investigation, now today, he has also been fired. turned into a political punching bag and removed from office. director, dem director, head of the counter intelligence division. all gone. all blown up careerwise. right? all being threatened with being prosecuted themselves. the russian investigation continues to spool. we've had the president's deputy campaign chair plead guilty and becoming a cooperating witness. the trump foreign policy adviser who piqued the interests with his infwoe the russian hacking operations. we've had him plead guilty and become a cooperating witness. we'll have more on him coming up. there's been some movement in that case. we have another adviser formerly named as an agent in the russian government in multiple surveillance wiretap applications. the ongoing felony trial ag

human asset relationship with the fbi. >> so the fbi and the department of justice used this phoney, fab arfabricated dossier unverifiedo gain a wiretap warrant from a fisa court. that was sometime in october. and of course the fbi redacted the exact date. does it look to you like based on the sequence of events and the documents you obtained that the fbi and the department of justice knew christopher steele was a liar before they filed their application to spy? >> absolutely. they already admonished him for some kind of misconduct. they knew the kind of game he was playing. eventually they had to disclose to the court in very soft, i would say dishonest terms, that they terminated him because of his unreliability and fallshoods. they had a lot of guilty knowledge. they were not forth coming with the court. in my view they perpetrated a fraud on the court. those warrants were not lawfully obtained. they do not contain true and accurate information. and you have fbi officials signing off on them. gregg: i wrote a back to "the russia mosquitoes" and i outlined -- "the russia hoax." 50s

the fbi encourages dr. mr. chairman to kill himself because he is such a threat to the nation in their view. king does not obviously kill himself. the fbi then offers to turn this tape over to the press. the press turns him down. imagine such an era. and the fbi backs off in the face of a looming congressional investigation into electronic surveillance. the timing of that works out in his favor, i suppose. from 1965 to '67 lyndon johnson takes over for the assassinated john f. kennedy. clamps down on wiretapping, suggests it should be outlawed. there are a couple supreme court cases, berger v. new york and katz versus situates both in 1967. in these cases the supreme court says wire taps have to follow the same procedures for a warrant. there must be probable cause, the people initiating the wire tap have to specify the crime, specify the space to be searched, specify the conversations. in 1968 congress sets specific standards for obtaining wire taps. this will not stop cointelpro overall. cointelpro will targe

when james comey testified before our committee as the fbi director at the time on why and how the fbi came to the conclusion that there was nothing to be prosecuted, he made it very clear that it wasn't even a close call. no crime had been committed. in fact he improperly at the press conference that summer characterized secretary clinton's behavior which he really had no business doing, but he made it very clear there was nothing further to be investigated. i find that ironic that the man who was the subject of an active criminal investigation, the very thing he wanted done to hillary clinton wants to shutdown his own investigation. i'd call that a double standard by any stretch of the imagination. >> the fbi did its own investigation. the inspector general of the struck texts and recommended discipline, but that discipline being a demotion, and 60 day suspension. what you had today -- actually the firing took place on friday, the deputy director overruling by firing peter struck. i wonder if you're concerned about the politics around this, the president's comments, demands from repu

mueller is head of the fbi and the fbi lavishes a $1 billion contract to lockheed martin where james comey just happens to be the general counsel. how rich did comey then get? >> that's right. he made $6.1 million in the year after that contract was awarded. gregg: that's, what, like a 4,000% increase in his compensation? >> that's exactly right. we are talking about the revolving door. it's a familiar story. most americans have heard of it. it's turning your public service into self-service. here are the facts of james comey. in 2005, he was worth just $206,000, modest income, modest net worth. he had a mortgage. he goes to lockheed martin in 2005 as general counsel and also senior vice president and by 2009, he's raked in millions of dollars, $6.1 million in that year alone, and just like you said, it's over 4,000% net worth increase. it's actually 4,250% using the most conservative estimates. gregg: i don't begrudge people who are in government service eventually going into the private sector. they are perfectly allowed to do so. but does it appear to you that then he's trading on

saying the fbi was deceptive in its omissions. according to louie gohmert, it was a clever response by the fbi. saying we didn't find any evidence of hacking into the hillary server. which is true, baits was the i.g., the inspector general who found out about it. >> it's easy not to find something when you don't look for it. david: richard pollock writing in "the "daily caller,"" apparently from the beginning of her term as the secretary of state, the chinese embed a bug into her private server, and there was a lot of top secret stuff on there. >> they were getting copies of virtually everything that went acrock the server. -- went across the server. one of the problems in the whole saga is the fact with respect to the server itself we said look, there is a statutory obligation on the part of the fbi and justice department and the intelligence community to conduct a damage assessment. they are required by law to identify, what did we lose and how much of an impact there is on the security of the country. you know what the response

the fbi was determined -- >> sean: go further. what does that mean? >> to perpetrate a fraud on the court, to spy on the trump campaign. this is important. here's what should happen. this was a fraud on the court. the chief justice of the u.s. supreme court is in charge of the fisa court, he should direct the presiding judge, rosemary collier, to hold a hearing, hold all of these people from the doj and the fbi in there, and if she finds there were crimes committed, and surely there were, there should be a criminal referral by her to the department of justice against these fbi and doj officials, including james comey. >> sean: the house of cards is coming down. that is why your book is number one for so long. good job, both of you. great reporting. we are very close. the cards are about to collapse. when we come back, kellyanne conway, sean spicer, they weigh in on fake news cnn and theiral credibility crisis. also florida gubernatorial republican candidate who won mike yesterday, ron desantis, he'll join. us. to stay. ♪ -omar,

the fbi had already punished him for texts. do we know now why he was fired or why he was fired now? >> there is actually no real answer from the fbi about this decision to fire peter strzok, anderson. the fbi's office of provisional responsibility which does deal with personnel matters recommended that a 60-day suspension along with a demotion for all these anti-trump tags. but the fbi's deputy director david bowdich was a trump appointee and fired strzok on friday. this caused strzok's attorney to say this breaks from precedent and is, quote, deeply troubling to all americans. the investigation did not find that strzok's personal feelings ultimately impacted the decision to clear hillary clinton of any wrongdoing. now after silence for much of the day, the fda did put out a statement saying, quote, the fbi director as a senior fbi official had the delegated authority to review and modify any disciplinary findings and/or penalty as deemed necessary in the best interests of the fbi. so as you can see, anderson, not many details

and fbi gets longer and longer. based that strzok was in charge of the witch hunt, will it be dropped? no collusion, i just fight back. you were saying actually the president's tweets could help strzok if he tries to appeal his firing. tell me why had. >> absolutely. once the word first came out that strzok had been fired i looked at my watch and knew it was only a matter of minutes before the president would weigh in and overplay his hand. obviously he has done this. we were expecting nothing less. this has been an unprecedented action in the history of the country where the president of the united states is actively going after a career civil servient. it's not only unprecedented. it's disgusting of it's destroying a norm that has been long held that the employees have the civil service protection, should remain outside of politics. but i think it helps strzok because if he does appeal, and i'm sure the decision makers at the fbi who decided to terminate had no question there would be some type of appeal. he being

mueller changed the fbi structure. traditionally, fbi cases are anaged in the field. there is a case agent, field supervisor, special agent in charge. they review the information and then he goes to headquarters and other levels of review and questioning and correction. what he did, he pulled the 9/11 investigation into headquarters which was continued by mueller and comey with the investigation of hillary clinton's emails and the counterintelligence investigation of the trump campaign. what did that do and why is that so bad? you then had a small group at the top of the fbi, peter struck and mccabe, making decisions. if you have the same three people in the room a long time, they will reinforce each other. we all need somebody to correct us. even the journalists have people to correct them. when you have the same people, they reinforce the same opinion and there is no level of correction. the explanation you get is that these are very sensitive olitical investigations, and just like the intelligence agencies in virginia, they want to have politically sensitive inform

and fbi operation. the man running the fbi, bob, you! the man courting the russian oligarch for money was andrew mccabe, deputy director of the fbi. now, since fired. now, bob, in spite of the fact that derek had been banished by the united states three years earlier in 2006, because of his organized crime affiliations, your fbi asked him to fund one of your operations? more important, after donald trump was elected, he is asked by the fbi to help corroborate this steele dossier? he himself stopped at the idea that they collude with russia. quote you are trying to create something out of nothing. fast-forward nine years later. and you indict paul manafort. but one name is left out of that indictment. your indictment makes no mention of him even though you have evidence that paul manafort wanted to invite him to a trump campaign briefing. my question to you is as follows. are you using the christopher steele, dossier as a basis of your investigation? what crime are you investigating? did you know bruce o

between the fbi and steele would change completely. and that it was unlikely the fbi would continue a relationship with him. that article was published online, on october 31st. it was written by someone who has broken a lot of news in this story, who i'm sure you've seen, if you watch rachel, you've seen him talk to rachel. it's david corn, the mother jones washington bureau chief. he also interviewed steele for the story. the headline right there, a veteran spy has given the fbi information alleging a russian operation to cultivate donald trump. that was before the election. it was the first media account to reveal the existence of the memos that now, of course, have become a big deal. they are known as the steele dossier. they allege, among other things, that the trump campaign had organized collusion with the kremlin. quote, this is something of huge significance. way above party politics, that intelligence officer told corn, that would be steele. quote, i think trump's own party should be aware of this stuff, as well. the official

mueller changed the fbi structure. traditionally, fbi cases are managed in the field. there is a case agent, field supervisor, special agent in charge. they review the information and then he goes to headquarters and other levels of review and questioning and correction. what he did, he pulled the 9/11 investigation into headquarters which was continued by mueller and comey with the investigation of hillary clinton's emails and the counterintelligence investigation of the trump campaign. what did i do and why is that so bad? -- what did that do and why is that so bad? you then had a small group at the top of the fbi, speeder truck -- peter struck and mccabe, making decisions. if you have the same three people in the room a long time, they will reinforce each other. we all need somebody to correct us. even the journalists have people to correct them. when you have the same people, they reinforce the same opinion and there is no level of correction. the explanation you get is that these are very sensitive political investigations, and just like the intelligence agencies

the fbi not even acknowledging that. and you're bringing -- you've brought the lawsuit against the police department of san jose for channeling a crowd of trump supporters into harm's way, if you will. in absolute complicity with antifa and other groups as well who are represented in that me e lei. why in the world can't the secret service say yes, we're investigating them at least as a part of an effort to prevent further threats or harm to the president? >> well the fbi and secret service, they're all under the doj. and as i previously said on this show, the doj is mia. they have a civil rights division that should be opening up an investigation into the racketeering and organized crime. that's what it is, organized crime. and it's going on with impunity. the paid leftists, no doubt about it, the liberals advertise for protesters, pay them and then they pick and choose where the events take place. and they take place in liberal jurisdictions that are complicit, ask the police to step down. the feds do nothing. it's out

there is so much constant talk about the fbi. there are so many personal attacks that are pointed at the fbi that it has got to be hard to be there. but with that i think that, you know, the leadership. the director and the deputy director are doing the very best they can to clear the way so that the men and the women can get back to work. some of that on friday with the deputy's decision. he wants to put an end to it and get people back to work. >> what does it mean to you as a veteran of the fbi, any time we toss around the name mueller which we do a good many times every evening. when you say mueller, you mean the second longest serving fbi director in the history of the bureau. >> yes. director mueller left the bureau incredibly well respected. you know, i think that it is telling to only very few people really trying to attack director mueller in his role as special counsel counsel. people are hard pressed to attack him directly and it is because of his personal integrity. >> the name used the most on the broadcast and the p
