this is my speculation, but i think if weissmann had been left to his own purposes he would have kept going on and on. >> let me just clarify something congressman. >> sure. >> so you're saying that, from what you know from the information he gathered, he could have wrapped this up before the midterm election in 2018. >> yeah. he was careful to say he wasn't going to answer when he knew that there was no conspiracy, collusion, whatever you want to call it but the law calls it conspiracy. he wouldn't say but it was clear he knew early on and in fact, we all knew way back, over a year ago, that there was nothing there on the conspiracy with the russian agents, that it was a bunch of garbage. he could have ended this back then but he chose to effect an election. it was also clear from the hearing today that weissmann must have been the driving force in all of this. >> exactly. exactly. and that, i think that's been clear for a long time but it was crystal clear today. >> yeah, it was. >> congressman thank you for that. >> it is tucker thanks for your clarity. you've seen it all along. >>

don't do it.if >> sean: let me ask you about andrew weissmann. this revelation is huge.ug this is a guy who lost tens of thousands of jobs, beaten in supreme court, 9-0. was at hillary clinton's victory party, did all the hiring for mueller. he's for one position, the other position, back to the old position. >> he has a book deal.ll >> sean: weissmann now, he can write all the books he wants. >> it underscores the malevolence of bob mueller hiring a team of partisans on your screen. a guy with a long history of getting caught threatening witnesses and hiding evidences. "license to lie," a great book discloses all of his offenses. yet mueller knew this and wanted him to be his chief lead prosecutor. i've written a new book. it's coming out in a couple of months, and it w discloses some astonishing stories about andrew weissmann. >> sean: all right, thank you all. by the way, tomorrow night, we will bring up all the questions we want bob mueller asked. i'm happy. i'm actually glad he's testifying. surprise you? tune iner tomorrow night. coming up

he wasn't -- he would not of hired andrew weissmann if he didn't care about the truth, what he? he would not fire jeannie rhee, the counsel to the clinton foundation. >> sean: put you in jail and i will be right next to you. >> i would not hire people like that. i would have kicked them out. when he did that, i said to myself, what the heck is wrong with him? i figured out what is wrong with him. he's basically asleep. the reality is that this was a plot from the very beginning to frame trump. that is what you will find out. it's rather complex. it has a whole counterintelligence spin to it. it's going to get worse and worse and worse. why is this the first time somebody sat down with steele for 16 hours? comey never did it? it was unverified? you are the director of the fbi. you are supposed to verify, jerk. you are supposed to verify. don't tell me you can't verify. man, i would have thrown him out of the office of the attorney general. you come to me and you tell me the thing is unverified and you have had it for four months? you haven't bothered to verify it? find out as a b

he chose intentionally to let weissmann go wild. and all the other people, strong while he was there, he lit them go -- he let them go wild trying to frame the president for something that didn't happen. that's why it's so offensive after all these years he established clearly there was no conspiracy because collusion is not a legal crime. there is no conspiracy by the trump campaign or anybody in russia. that's why it was such a big deal to me. now you are turning around. he knew he was innocent. that's all he wanted. he wanted justice. because if justice occurred he would have been totally exonerated and acquitted and justice was not happening under mueller, weissmann and the whole cabal. jesse: the american people aren't going to go after impeaching the president for obstructing in a crime he didn't commit. and the special prosecutor said it was never obstructed. >> if mueller wrote the mueller report i wrote moby dick. the answers he gave were not my purview. i will see if that works for me this weekend when my girlfriend asks m

andrew weissmann, his pitbull, the guy who had to hillary's victory of party, did all the hiring, he didn't know they were all democrats? he didn't know that reagan had given him an appointment? he didn't know fusion gps? he didn't care that before that so called famous trump tower meeting that fusion gps met with the russian operatives? before and after the meeting? in other words, for 20 months, democrats used mueller's a so political reputation, he is a decorated marine, he did serve this country and in. a long serving former fbi director using him for legitimizing their partisan which can't, caring nothing about the person at all. it seems that there was really publicly only one person that cared about robert mueller. kept trying to throw him a lifeline. kept trying to protect his reputation. knowing this would go badly. i don't think attorney was the attorney general. attorney general barr. and he was slandered and smeared for it. something was up when he very graciously agreed to the joint statement. it just didn't track right in my brain. hillary clinton super fan, the guy at

wise man and all of them -- weissmann and all of them did the report. christopher steele and ed simpson admitted a lot of their russian stuff was coming in third hand. steele was the face of the report because he was a used fbi asset before. it's the same thing they did with mueller. he didn't know who glenn simpson was. did he even read a newspaper? judge jeanine: rod rosenstein took mueller to the president to meet him to be head of the fbi for a 10-year term. when he couldn't get that he had him be the front for the special counsel. i don't care with anybody else says, this rod rosenstein he got away with it. i don't know why. but for whatever reason he did. mike huckabee, i will give you the last word. >> after watching the bob mueller show the other night, the democrats thought they would put a movie to the published report. the movie turned out to be weekend at bernie's and it didn't turn out well for the democrats. jenna: that's a good ending and a good laugh to what turned out to be a laughable report. counting down to the next democrat debate.

his deputy, weissmann who clearly ran this. every time a member of congress asked him a question he said i can't talk about that. and they said it's on page 97 or 95, and he said i will refer to the report. a member of congress asked about me and the supposed interaction i had with the president and he said i don't know who this is. if there are only 10 potential incidences of obstruction that the president was potentially involved with, bob mueller didn't know my name which i appreciate and i am grateful for. but he didn't steam clearly versed on what took place. trish: clearly he wasn't watching television. we have a cracker jack team. here we go. let's run it for the viewer. >> the president asked others to help limit your investigation. >> correct. >> was corey lewandowski one such individual. >> can you remind me -- >> corey lewandowski is the president's former campaign manager, correct? >> correct. >> he clearly can't buy my books. trish: he didn't know who you were. he didn't know fusion gps. this was kind of strange. h

. >> thank you so much but i want to change the name of the report from the weissmann report to the staff report because apparently mueller didn't write it and apparently he didn't even read it. i don't think we should be calling it the mueller report, they just use his name and credibility to give an employee to a report that was obviously written by the staff. >> that was one of the most stunning reservations i thought as well as we cover this. it's very clear he did not have a deep grasp of the details of the report and very clear that he didn't know some of the names of people involved, even, when he was asked about them. but you heard what jerry nadler said there. he said he believes that there is some other existence outside of the report that requires them to keep digging here. you wrote the case against impeaching president trump. what would you say to him if you sent the book along with him in august recess? >> my grandson is out fishing right now and this is the perfect definition of a fishing expedition. he doesn't know what he's looking for. maybe he will throw some folks in t

when i read john's story, it's got to be andrew weissmann. it has to be. >> dan: this case has been a disgrace the way it's been handled. tom, i read your part tonight. find out now officials at the state department sounded the alarm that have been called like they were hunting off a herd or something like that. but they eliminate at least 30,000 emails. why haven't we heard about this sooner? why didn't this come out sooner? where were the whistle-blowers on this? >> well, because the same justice department and state department that were targeting trump as we are discussing here, or protecting hillary clinton. in this senior official of the state department was a senior records official. he saw that famous picture of hillary clinton looking at the blackberry. he raised questions. about what's going on here. does she have an email account? so he testified essentially that the state department knew about her email system. didn't tell anyone about it. and then once they found -- then they found out that she had all these email records, finally

the legal theory advanced by weissmann, correct? let me read from that. >> may i just finish my answer to say i'm not going to get involved in discussion on that. i will refer you to that citation that you gave me at the outset for the lengthy discussion on just what you are talking about and to the extent i have anything to say about it, it is what we've already put into the report on that. >> i am reading from your report when discussing this section. i'm read from the decision of the supreme court unanimously reversing mr. weissmann when he said indeed it's striking how little culpability, the jury was told if petitioner believed this was lawful the jury could convict and dill luteed the meaning that it covered innocent conduct. >> let me just say. >> i have limited time. your report takes the broadest possible reading of this provision in applying it to the president's acts and i'm concerned for overcriminalizing conduct. to emphasize how broad your theory is. october 11th, 2015 during the f.b.i. investigation into hillary clint

been filed against him, and yet, here is another example prayed when i read it it had to be andrew weissmann. it has to be. >> dan: tom, i will go to you, i read your report from judicial watch, another great piece of work, we find out that officials at the state department sounded the alarm about the is 30,000 emails that have been called like they were hunting off a herd or something. they eliminated the 30,000 emails, why have we not heard about this sooner? why did this not come out sooner? where were the whistle-blowers? >> because the same justice department and state department that were targeting trump as we are discussing here were protecting hillary clinton. and this senior official of the state department was a sr. records official, he saw that famous picture of hillary clinton looking at the blackberry and raise questions about what is going on here? so he testified essentially that the state department knew about the email system and did not tell anyone about it, and then once they found out, once they found out that she had all of these email records, finally admitted that she

is it true that bruce or a shared dossier information with your pitiful, andrew weissmann and mr. o martin early of augus? shouldn't they have refused themselves since they were early witnesses to the dossiers contents and they were told it was not verified? why did you select errands all the who represented oh, justin cooper, you know, the guy who helped set up and administer clinton email system, didn't he smash clinton's blackberry devices or isn't he accused of that? now, the final phis application and the third were newer to surveilled carter page and also spy on then president trump, well, that was done in june of 2017. you were the special counsel. mr. mueller, were you either aware of this renewal? were you involved in this renewal? was any of the information presented to the fisa court verified? was the clinton dirty russian dossier still the bulk of information in that phis application? were you aware that much of the application was based on steals unverified dossier and when were you aware of it? did you ever discuss with rod rosenstein the prospects of his refusal fro

he wasn't questioning weissmann or whoever was doing it. he delegated it. was he more of a figurehead in this investigation? after you saw this performance today was he the figurehead? he came into the office every day, he might have done something, but he did nothe know anything. >> whether he was or he wasn't, that's what he projected today. it's unfortunate because he's a much more capable person than that. this is the achilles' heel of the investigation.n. the perception was frontloaded with democrats.. he wasn't able to get around ththat. >> today on the podcast you when i talked about this, but the political morning console shows that even more democrats now from april through today are that this investigation was not handled fairly. that percentage has gone up 15 percentage points. even among democrats, the distrust is growing. this is not going in a good direction for the democrats given the time, effort, and promises. most people are saying let's get going, let's wrap this up. >> i think most americans have a sense of what happened here. number one

. >> tell me about him. >> andrew weissmann, the reason they like talking about him is because he was in hillary clinton's victory party in 2016. so he is someone that they like to paint as a democrat. >> but she didn't win in 2016. >> well, they still had a party. >> that's irrelevant. so he's one of the, quote, 18 democrats that -- >> 17 angry democrats. >> and also looking to avoid the comeyification of his testimony. what he says to your point about staying in the four corners of what he has already pointed out, he doesn't want this to be politicized which is kind of laughable at this point, but he is an honorable man in that regard. he will not i think take lightly to them coming after the institution of the fbi,ably be a part of this as well when they go at strzok and others. but i think he is trying to avoid this situation where he can be perceived to come off like comey, putting the fickle finger of fate if you will one way or the oirks i don't think the republicans will be like one of the people waving the stuff during the nba game, make the foul shot just to screw it up. all

part of that was making certain that -- >> andrii weissmaew weissmann a your team. >> yes. >> did he have some role. >> some role. >> he attended hillary clinton's election party. did you know that before or after he came on the team. >> i don't know when i found that out. >> weissmann wrote an e-mail to deputy general yates i am so proud and in awe regarding her disobeying a direct order from the president. did weissmann disclose that e-mail. >> i'm in the going to talk about that. >> is that a conflict of interest? >> not going to t about. >> are you aware hillary clinton regarding her e-mails. >> yes. >> represented justin cooper, a clinton aide who destroyed one of clinton's mobile devices. you must be aware by now six of your lawyers donated $12,000 directly to hillary clinton. i'm not even talking about the $49,000 they donated to other democrats, just the donations to the opponent who is a target of your investigation. >> can i speak to hiring practices? >> sure. >> we strove to hire individuals who can do the job. i have been in this business for almost 25 years. in those 25

this was an andrew weissmann report, was it not? >> was it 18 angry democrats including bob humaner? stepping back from it, if they want to do this, if they want to go forward, they are wasting the american people's time. we'll pend more time in the election season talking about this as the candidate in 2020 trying to break through and make their own case are fighting among themselves. as president trump says, look at the economy, look at the jobs. you go to middle america, no one is talking about this. nobody. i don't know why they don't get that message. david: the reason it was important that wiseman was in charge and not mueller ways he was pro hillary. he was at hillary clinton's wake, if you will. >> the so-called victory night didn't turn out to be so. even bob mueller was challenged on the optics. he wouldn't concede the fact that he never attempted to build a team that would be perceived as legitimate by the american people. president trump was right when he said how do you obstruct something that never happened in the firs

weissmann had a lot more to do. a big hillary fan. was at hillary's political funeral if you will on the night of the election. he was the one that was really running this and they weren't interested -- the key here is they weren't really interested in any collusion between the hillary campaign and the russians, which we know now there was at least as much evidence if not more so for that than there was for trump/russia collusion. that's what as you suggested we'll be hearing more about as the a.g.'s investigation proceeds. >> bill: trump junior's point was and going on in washington for a while now. and that was that bob mueller had lost his fastball. this is the reason why these hearings had been delayed for so long and took so long to get there. there is evidence this week, judith, that was the case for him. >> well, there is no doubt that we saw an aging bob mueller. we saw someone who was not at the top of his game. i still think he had a kind of biden first debate problem, which is you really saw that time has passed. but i thin

this weissmann is terror. he did it with manafort, corsi, the fertash the criminal -- notorious terrible, if he is that terrible ukrainian oligarch wouldn't tell weissmann what he wanted him to tell. even crooks have honor. sometimes slimily prosecutors don't. steve: you're including average details the person doesn't know about. asking all these questions of mr. mueller today. if he says, i don't really have the answer from that. we'll have the investigation from horowitz come out. is that when you think. >> i don't think today is just about today, 10 round fight. this is going to the election. if democrat are there doing sound bites, why they do makeup and rehearse. steve: yes. >> he needs to rehearse. nadler, i'm sure it is written out. i know jerry. president would get inpeached day he walked in. he was on the train planning impeachment before the report was out. ainsley: we'll not hear anything today? going. >> no going to sound bites. you had a guy on absolutely right on money. the democrats are going fo

some members say that andrew weissmann was the top prosecutor on his team but he also had some connections to hillary clinton. he went to an election night party for her back in 2016, wondering whether he had a big role on that report. they are trying to get to the credibility of it in the integrity of the investigation. >> julie: alayna train, thank you very much. we appreciate you coming on. massive protests in puerto rico with thousands and the streets demanding the governor's resignation. also costa rica issuing a national alert after 19 people died from tainted alcohol. plus, new developments on the double murder case north of the border involving an american. what we are learning now, next. ♪ you see me. but if you saw me before cosentyx... ♪ i was covered. it was awful. but i didn't give up. i kept fighting. i got clear skin with cosentyx. 3 years and counting. clear skin can last. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you. cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis find clear skin that can last. don't use if you're allergic to cosentyx. bef

just today, john solomon broke a dramatic piece of news that andrew weissmann now for the third time is caught like subordinating perjury with russian ukrainian oligarch. he promises in the big case going on for like six years international case will be dropped. if only he would say, bad things about trump and manna for it -- paul manafort. and he has more honor than wiseman and paul manafort and i won't lie to get out of the case. he wanted to say paul manafort was the go-between with the russians. and that is why he basically tortured paul manafort for how many weeks, i don't know. >> laura: rudy come i think all of this and i have to confess most americans don't fow it. but what i'm saying -- absolutely that is the role of secretary general. >> this is the third witness where he was basically, allegedly perjury. >> laura: why was he not brought in on the case? you talk about this for a year and a half. >> how come you hired the counsel for the clinton foundation to investigate donald trump? suppose i was appointed to investigate hillary and i appoint at the counsel for the trump f

if it's andrew weissmann, now you can't trot him out before the joint committees. you cannot do that. the president was right about taking too many bites of the apple. these are not horses in central park. these are supposed to be serious legislators and they really whiffed on this one and we are so you should both parties spinning like tops when they get bad news. it's one of the few times where you will seek consensus on all sides. people saying yeah, this was really horrible. >> jesse: one of the theories, jessica, is that mueller is a lawyer and he knew he was under oath and he's very precise and has a lot of integrity and he wanted to make sure he heard all the answers very clearly. that's why he asked everybody to repeat them so specifically. >> jessica: i don't think mocking bob mueller -- >> jesse: i'm not mocking. i am repeating a theory that's out there. >> jessica: was a lot of disgusting theorizing going on, commenting on his health and his status and i feel like so far here we've only been talking about the optics. there were pieces of substance. presi

andrew weissmann was at hillary clinton's party the night of the election. based on what we know about the origins of this investigation and the fact that robert mueller had to fire peter strzok -- or, he didn't fire him, he moved him into a dominic different apartt over bias. clearly buys matters in that instance, but why didn't it matter when it came to someone on the team going to a clinton victory party? he says it doesn't matter but political affiliation, he wants him to do the job paid for their varying degrees of bias. donating $200 to a political campaign is not the same thing is going to a victory party. in the sensitive situation this was, considering it was about a potential campaign. those things matters. when you talk to prosecutors -- i was talking to trey gowdy about this yesterday -- he says there is nothing that will kill your case faster than any kind of indicated bias, especially political bias. this is why jurors are screened for any knowledge about case, even the politically ideology. it matters in a court of law and it should have matte

i have to think it was andrew weissmann and the group of democrats that were involved with the investigation that were the ones behind the leaks. that were driving the narrative, and driving, quite frankly, part two of the investigation which focused on the obstruction >> harris: wow. it was sad to watch. i don't know, for democrats, how they come back from al green and others today saying, "there were no moments." those are the purveyors of impeachment in the party. >> there are two parts to what you're asking. i don't think it was sad. >> harris: watching him struggle wasn't sad? >> james: if anyone understands -- i'm a former prosecutor, anyone who knows what a prosecutor does, the lead prosecutor in a vast, wide-raging investigation, you stand on top of this thing and you aren't in the weeds. they are asking questions that put him into the weeds. yes, he was the person who signed off on the report. >> harris: it was pretty basic though, brad. collusion and conspiracy -- >> he did a great job of referring to the report and he wanted them to understand he's relying on the report. >> harris

before, not something i heard before, a boss in name only, under the mueller brand prosecutor andy weissmann can work with his hillary supporters now they can see with their own eyes mueller was at best on the outside. the story turns to the investigating the investigators. were you surprised he didn't have more of a command given this report bears his name. >> he didn't have a command of the facts. at times he was kind of bumbling through and had his deputy trying to assist him on what page he was on, you probably saw the clips of him multiple times asking people to repeat the question, at times he had counsel giving him information so he wasn't listening and he didn't have a command of the facts or the report that has his name on it. what's frustrating for members of the republican party was, we were asking him the basis. like i asked him about the steele dossier. the steele dossier's mentioned in his report, in his investigation. i asked him if he had interviewed chris steele. i had asked him at what point during the investigation was it unverified? because he states in his report that it

color on the investigation, it's not bob from whom they'll get it but some of his staffers, andrew weissmann or other folks who did the investigation, aaron zedly. get them in a room somewhere and try to get some more color. there's going to be a fight how much more they can say certainly but i think for this purpose, there's really not going to be any traction gained by congress unless they are able to get out what is in that report. >> unless they're factual. look at this new video of epstein, trump. ♪ >> it's rare you see that kind of feetage. it looks like they're having a good time. this office has taken on epstein and embarrassed the trump administration in a sense. where does this case go in sdny. >> >> the big unanswered question about epstein, you hear there's been a lot of people going out and getting him women, young girls. the question is was he getting them for anybody else, number one. number two, who was it that was getting hill women. i think there's a much broader net to be cast here than just one person as you know, because he can't do it alone. >> why were the public cor
