let's get right to what james comey had to say yesterday when questioned by trey gowdy. president obama said of her email arrangement i don't think opposed a national security problem. how would he have known that at the time? i can't answer that. >> he also said, meaning obama, that this is not a situation in which america's national security was endangered, how would he have known that at the time? comey, same answer, i can't answer that for him. what do you make of this exchange? >> trey gowdy was showing flair is a former prosecutor with cross-examination style questions which proves to show that either comey was completely incompetent at his job or covering for president obama because he says on one hand that he personally didn't direct anyone else to brief president obama on the situation yet we have that clip that is contemporaneous from president obama saying he made that assessment at the time so which is it? i would agree with mark meadows who tweeted yesterday that come is showing he's taking no responsibility for the erosion of trust in the fbi and the doj an

comey back to capitol hill for a grilling, and one of the people who will be asking the questions, trey gowdy, is here with us for a preview. president trump tweets out late tonight, everything is fine with china. leland vittert, dan hoffman, and michael pillsbury examine the claim and the fears of chinese retaliation for the arrest of the top trainees tech executive. in the nation's final farewell to former president george w. bush. the sights and sounds of the last leg of his journey to its final resting place. hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. we begin with corresponding kristin fisher, who's got a preview of robert mueller's marathon today, or tomorrow. what can we expect? >> tomorrow could easily be one of the busiest days of the entire russian investigation. it's a deadline for the special counsel to file potentially very revealing memos about paul manafort and michael cohen. it's at a former fbi director james comey will be back on capitol hill, and it's the day that george papadopoulos gets out of prison. so there's a lot going on. let's s

it's between comey and the chairman of the oversight committee, trey gowdy. trey gowdy asks him while you were director you never knew the dnc hired a law firm that hired an opposition research firm that hired christopher steele. christopher steel was the author of the anti-trump dossier. it's established the dossier was paid for by the dnc and clinton campaign, one of the foundational pieces for the surveillance warrant on a trump campaign aide and mr. comey says no, i don't think so, i don't have any recogniz recollection g told that or reading that or learning that when i was director. he said he believes he learned that information from the media after he left as director but i'm digging further. so number one, there's a big chunk of transcript that certainly has to do with the dossier, its use to secure surveillance warrant hand the director knew about the sourcing of the document and the intelligence officer, the british intelligence officer who put it together. in this case, he's saying he was not aware of the financial relationship with the dnc and cl

here is trey gowdy. >> the f.b.i. had a criminal investigation into a presidential candidate and in less than a month after that ended, they launched a counter intelligence investigation into the campaign of the other major presidential candidate. it is not too much to ask for the former head of that entity to come explain to congress the decisions made and not made during the relevant time period. >> bill: mike emanuel is watching the movements on capitol hill. >> good morning to you. this is an important moment for these house republicans on these relevant committees wanting to question the former f.b.i. director james comey. he arrived on capitol hill a short time ago ahead of his closed door under oath session with house lawmakers. a compromise struck by agreeing to release a full transcript to avoid selective leaks. questions for comey about the integrity of the department of justice, the possibility of fisa or foreign intelligence surveillance act abuse and regarding some of the comments he has made in interview

trey gowdy f. anyone has forgotten, he will be leaving congress but he headed the investigation into hillary clinton's e-mails so he's well trained in this. you're a former federal prosecutor. he and the republicans seemed very, very hung up on this whole idea michael flynn has walked back and his defense attorneys have walked back the very thing that got judge sullivan hot under the collar today, this idea that somehow the fbi tricked or trapped michael flynn into saying things and not knowing that he shouldn't lie to the fbi and couldn't have a lawyer present. it's sort of a nonsensical train of thought. but that's what they were talking about, that's what our transcript actually shows us that the republicans were going after james comey about. >> yeah, and ali, it's so nonsensical because when we were in that courtroom today, the judge made it clear in his questions, and he posed these questions directly to michael flynn, did you feel tricked? did you feel entrapped? do you think your rights wer

and it's why a movement starts because the system failed brown and then trey von martin like so many activists. >> you talk about the impact of the system and you make the leap to one of the most powerful and difficult moments in the book when there is a police s.w.a.t. riot gear raid on where you live for looking for somebody. and tell you as an activist who is critiquing the police so can you talk about this moment tons of cops and riot gear descending upon you and your apartment pulling you and your family out? . >> yes it was a beautiful summer day in los angeles. and the artist village and the helicopter police were out and there was a suppose it shooting right across the street from my village. they literally created a barrier in our neighborhood nobody could come in or leave and for hours and hours the helicopters were just circling and i said to the person i really hope they're not coming for us i remember checking on twitter to see what was happening but they did come into our village and went straight to our apartment. >> to arrest you? . >> i absolutely believe there were

republican congressman trey gouty is here on the house judiciary committee and chairman of the house oversight committee, thanks for your time tonight. people want to know a lot of things about james comey, information from the hillary clinton investigation to the impetus of the investigation looking at potential russia collusion with the trump campaign, what is the main focus for you? >> the integrity of the department of justice, everything you mentioned goes to whether you can have confidence in the department of justice and dad to that i a s abuse and all the interviews he has done since he separated from service but the fbi had a criminal investigation into a presidential candidate and in less than a month after that and today launched a counterintelligence investigation into the campaign of the other presidential candidate so that is a lot of power we have given an entity and it is not too much to ask the former head of that entity to explain to congress the decisions made and not made in the relevant time. go. >> john holman who has been digging in the story for years says in

meeting between the two sides since twenty sixteen and the rain that ending four years of brutal warfare trey's discussions are expected to focus on confidence building measures. we brought to sweden by the un the delegation of who the rebels say they strive for peace the sat to negotiate with yemen's government for the first time in two years. i think the delegates want to pray to framework for negotiation and we hope to leave sweden with a final untruth solution to end the conflict in yemen so that all yemenis no matter their political opinion can live in peace. u.n. officials don't have such high hopes that the talks to be held at those costs outside stark home they don't expect a political settlement but at least steps towards deescalation. four years of conflict in yemen have left thousands dead and created what's been described as the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history. with the country's economy crippled more than fourteen million people many of them children of facing starvation. there is only one message to those who are gathering today in sweden that is the message of peace f

it included the fiery exchanges between james comby and trey gowdy. is intlition when trey gowdy pressed comey on why he skirted fbi protocol by sending agents to the white house and interviewing general michael anyone without counsel. this is his response. and i quote. i never worked in the transition time before. but my understanding that a more established administrative environment you wouldn't get away with calling a witness and saying, hey, can we come and talk to you. i guess eric holder wouldn't allow that, right? one of those agents sent to the white house was peter strzok who was fired from his job for huge bias. remember that? the peter strzok lisa page texts? joining me right now, andrew stoltman. maybe general flynn should have realized the severity of it. but clearly he didn't under the circumstances and james comey had no problem with that. is that some kind of violation of something? >> there are so many violations here, it's amazing. nobody said what michael anyone did wasn't wrong. clearly it was. but this has nothing to do with russ

when trey von martin was first killed the family was trying to get the media to cover it. but then it with the entire miami heat team. and those who are fans of theirs. and they were covering and we are trying that shows the power of a road to law as to criticism that they will receive to prepare for it. and that something they have been interested in since high school. and this resurgence is speaking out is beautiful to see. >> to shut up and play or shut up and dribble and that reminds me of jane fonda. but if anybody should be talking about young black men coming for a lot of those places. and it is insulting for someone to tell me to be quiet about something but what strikes me where we are we listen to famous people and the microphone. we talk about mark cuban as a presidential candidate because he is rich. michael bloomberg's mayor because he is rich. and now talk about oprah because she is rich. and that is something that deserve discussion also what happens when they disagree with you and then with fox news and now there are some answers. so i have to take issue wi

trey gowdy once in a while will throw you a bone, he'll say, if the evidence is there, you should hear what mueller has to say. but it rehashed everything we've already heard. there was nothing new. the bias, the issues vis-À-vis james comey, and that's all that we heard in the seven-page letter and there was nothing new that came out of some big filing by the gop. >> it's pragmatic at the end of the day. azi? >> how republicans should be thinking of themselves. mueller's report, when it comes out, could be explosive, it could have nothing at all. house republicans have a different set of priorities than the president. it may not be something he wants to hear or fully endorse. but they're political survival may rely in part on separating themselves from the president depending on what comes out of this report. >> they're certainly watching that barometer. >> oh, yes. >> it's a tough one certainly for many of the members who have said certain things and represented certain things during the election that just finished. i really enjoyed this conversation, katie phang, azi, josh lederman
