——james comey. into a culture of being weaponised. —— james comey. the into a culture of being weaponised. ——james comey. the mistake into a culture of being weaponised. —— james comey. the mistake which was not calculated by then president donald trump, not only should he have fired james comey, but everybody else within his executive staff. unfortunately that culture has continued to permeate since 2017, and i think we have seen examples time and time again with respect to the fbi getting involved in cases that the optics and the perception certainly suggests that they are being weaponised to garner political persuasion, and that's just not what we do as fbi agents, nor have the agency ever been considered a political extension of the president, congress or the legislative branch. the one thing that has always stood apart, the agency has always been considered untouchable, neutral and detached from political influence. certainly in my career, i can be steadfast in saying i never thought the fbi was political. saying i never thought the fbi

>> you played a clip of james comey. james comey was commenting on how hillary clinton violated the law of classified releases. she was not going to be punished. james comey went out on a private meeting with the president of the united states and memorialized it on fbi documents and deliberately leaked to it the media so they would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate trump, who was his close friend, robert mueller. it's been enzoes -- incestuous. always has been. merrick garland say how dare you impugn the reputation of the doj and the fbi? no sooner that he left the stage that a leak came out of the doj or fbi that they were after nuclear secrets. we know that m.o. that sets off and deliberately sow the bomb shells, walls are closing in, hysteria on the left. no sooner had that leak emerged and "the washington post" ran with it, we have these tweets that donald trump is like the rosenberg. michael hayes would say, yes. that's how they operate. so the government leaks to preselected media. then who have a whole

that was an improvement over james comey who leaked classified memos. passed them to the media, said he had amnesia 245 times, he was an improvement on robert mueller, he said he had no idea what the steel dossier was. that is one example. we could do the same thing with cia, and doj and the pentagon, it is scary, they are judge, jury and executioner. mark: right. we'll be right back. teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. sensodyne sensitivity & gum gives us the dual action effect that really takes care of both our teeth sensitivity as well as our gum issues. there's no question it's something that i would recommend. [laughter] hey, i was thinking about going back to school to get my master's... i just saw something that said you could do it in a year for like $11k. hmm! order 11! yes, see you at 11. ♪ 1111 masters blvd. please. that'll be 11 even, buddy. really? the clues are all around us... some things are too obvious to be a coincidence. ♪ seen this ad? some things are too obvious to be a coincidence. it's not pa

james comey taught us that. as soon as you get out and speak about the case, number one, you violate a u.s. citizen, that is president trump's privacy. the second issue i'll tell you is you're then required, not required, but it's then on you to say if you close the investigation, are you going to speak like james comey spoke? it was the president's choice to expose the investigation. that was not the fbi and doj. they should never speak about it because they want to say, we handled him like we handal other citizens. end of story, that's it. >> that search warrant under seal, although trump does have a copy of it, so phil mudd, caroline, thank you so much. >> so what was so pressing for doj then to pursue this search waurbt now? i'm going to speak with a top republican demanding answers. >>> plus, the notable price strip that may signal our days of rising inflation may slowly be turning a tide. prpressure, pressure? pressure, pressure. so where do you think this presessure's coming from? everyone. i'm just here

three were signed by james comey himself. you think of people like peter strzok and his words they had an insurance policy so donald trump when and get elected. am i wrong? are others wrong, our genuine distrust of the fbi and the doj? look at the treatment of peter navarro recently. the treatment of paul manafort, roger stone who we are going to work two. am i wrong if you are a conservator you'll be treated one way, if you're hillary clinton, biden, you could treat in another way? >> that's precisely why the raid seems rather reckless. the attorney general has to weigh that context. this country is a tinderbox. he has an agency in the fbi that has a documented history of false statements, a documented history of misleading courts. you have to consider that before you approve a raid of this kind. one of the things that struck me with their initial comments on the sources is how they describe this. they told you that there were two things described in the warrant, one a general category of material that should have been turne

james comey went ahead with that comedy, without banana republic action anyway. that is what we've had for years, and fbi that is interested in really one mission, and that is eliminating levels of the uni party and permanent washington. as with the bolsheviks they used pretext to get what they want. last night's rate of the former president's home had nothing to do with the retention of classified materials. you can handle missing records with a subpoena. you don't come kicking the doors an end blowing open safes. that is why the fed never raided the home of sandy berger who literally shoved classified documents in his socks. or hillary clinton's home, or -- who shared military intel with his lover. no raid bear "the wall street journal" by the way is now claiming the fed had this raid had something to do with cocktail napkins. an notes from kim jong un. right. everyone knows what this was about. finding something, anything they can use to keep donald trump from running for president. now here's the interesting question. why? well, he's a threat to the entrenche

the new york times reported wednesday that former fbi director james comey and his one-time deputy were both audited through the national research program in recent years. a few of a simple thousand returns every year at 150 million hired by the irs. the senior lawmakers said thursday was hard to believe comey and -- was coincidental. even if irs has safeguards in place designed to illuminate politically --. guest: that is the better practice. we should know who is influencing theirs. i don't know if there was targeting going on here. i will have to see. suppose that is what this investigation is going to find out. host: are you calling for more open tax forms for all government officials, including agency heads? that their tax form should be published. guest: if you are put into a position where you are put on top, for example, we should know who is influencing those folks like james comey. both administrations. we should know who is influencing our elected officials. i think that is a good thing and we should be knowing at the end of the day if they are making money outside of their j

here is james comey. he thinks he's funny about evading white house protocol to tramp the trump team. >> how did two fbi agents send up with the same room? how did that happen? >> i sent them. something i probably wouldn't have done or probably gotten away with in a more organized administration. the fbi wanted to send agents into the white house itself to interview a senior official you would work through the white house counsel and there would be discussions and approvals. i thought it's early enough, let's just send a couple guys over. dan: he's hilarious. a smart ass. the fbi director. the fbi's abuse of power is nothing new. then there is the ongoing hunter biden laptop probe that the fbi downplayed before the 2020 election. on behalf of millions of americans, let me say of course it was real. doesn't that seem a tad bit politically created. it was turned over by hunter biden and signed a signature that looks like hunter biden's because it was hunter biden and he has an address that was hunter biden'

liz: let's watch james comey in 2016 on the emails, the classified e mail found on hillary clinton's server, watch this? >> although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before deciding whether to bring charges. there are obvious considerations like the strength of the evidence especially regarding intent, responsessable decisions also consider the context of a person's actions and how similar situations have been handled in the past. in looking back at our investigations into the mishandling or removal of classified information we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. liz: so if they couldn't find a case to justify bringing criminal charges back in 2016 and likely since then, congressman, would any reasonable prosecutor by james comey's standard take on this case? >> well perhaps they no longer have reasonable investigators or reasonable prosecutors but

steve: if james comey can take on —- comerica take this day and how does he handle biden corruption in the fauci scandal quick. >> i don't think he will hold up well to questioning seriously bring people in for transcribed interviews then you uses words against him because he has had all these things then you can look at all these things with all of these definitive statements some under oath and with those radio appearances he has made and then bring him in to ask very pointed questions in a simple format the way senator paul has done this in the past and i think he will wilt. even if he leaves or gets fired you will still bring him back because what he put this country through and how he did it needs to be exposed. steve: it seems like they are already making progress with the hunter biden family corruption. that is happening now. >> absolutely such an array of people can be brought in to follow the money that is what you are getting at is hunter biden is part of the business will be free was the former fbi director get back to the bidens $100,000 to biden's granddaughter has a thank

james comey put l of done it again. james comey put out that— of done it again. james comey put out that statement _ of done it again. james comey put out that statement in _ of done it again. james comey put out that statement in october- of done it again. james comey puti out that statement in october 2016 and i out that statement in october 2016 and i was _ out that statement in october 2016 and i was laughing _ out that statement in october 2016 and i was laughing so _ out that statement in october 2016 and i was laughing so hard - out that statement in october 2016 and i was laughing so hard because of course _ and i was laughing so hard because of course it— and i was laughing so hard because of course it comes _ and i was laughing so hard because of course it comes back— and i was laughing so hard because of course it comes back to - and i was laughing so hard because of course it comes back to anthonyj of course it comes back to anthony weiner~ _ of course it comes back to anthony weiner. just — of course it comes back to anthony weiner. just readin

that said, i think the example of james comey and his public statements really counsels against going outside of the justice department norm and making a bunch of statements regarding an ongoing investigation. i think the wisest course here is for the justice department to pursue the most conservative course possible in terms of statements to the public ultimately, obviously, the trump team has the search warrant and the inventory of seized assets they certainly could reveal that if they wanted to. but in the meantime, i think the proper thing to do is to kind of take -- handle this by the book. >> renato, thanks very much. the former president is fund-raising off the fbi search. his team sent an email out today asking supporters to give money to stand up against what he calls the never-ending witch hunt republicans from all corners of the party coming to his defense. the florida governor, ron tion o desantis, writing, the raid of mar-a-lago is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the regime's political opponents. the georgia congresswoman, marjorie tayl

so one of the things that is broken down in here is the parallel that was created by james comey when he did a similar investigation of information and confidential documents that hillary clinton kept on a private server. he came out at the time and said that, you know, a, they had held back documents, the clinton team. they head back documents after they said, we gave them all the classified information. but yesterday they couldn't prosecute. so tell me what your take is on what is different on the same in those two things and did that set a precedent for handling this case that cannot be overturned. >> might not have been the most respectful precedent in the way it was rolled out by james comey and the reasoning he employed. i'll take it. the difference was incredibly -- it was a striking difference between the two situations. hillary clinton had no protection under the presidential records act. that had nothing to do with her at all in terms of how you actually classify these documents as presidential or personal. a classification doesn't matter. she had a personal server, a tremen

why we're not going to hear now from christopher wray. >> reporter: james comey got in a lot of trouble for making those comments. a lot of people said it hurt hillary clinton's campaign, but most importantly, it's because there were no charges filed. and typically, the department of justice policy is, you don't talk about a case during the investigation and you don't talk about a case if there are no charges filed. you only talk about a case in legal filings. you only talk about a case if there are charges filed. and that's why i think it's unlikely we'll hear from doj here. >> we heard jon karl report on the search warrant that the former president has this in hand, he could reveal it to the public if he wanted to answer some of these questions. we both know that's very unlikely here. so, how and when could we learn more about what they were, in fact, searching for at mr-a-lago? >> reporter: that warrant could leak, but that would have limited information, anyway. the key is an affidavit that was filed with the court. they had to show probable cause that a crime was committed and they

three of them were signed c by james comey himself. then you think of people like peter struck in his words, they had an insurance policy so donald trump wouldn't get elected. am i wrong or others wrong and are genuine in distrust of the fbi and the doj? look at the treatment of peter navarro recently or the treatmento of paul manafort or roger stone who are going to talk to am i wrong in thinking that if you're a conservative you are treated one way and if you're hillary clinton, if b you're a biden, you get treated another wayth? that's precisely why this racehy seems to me rather reckless and that the attorney generaley has to weigh that context. this country is a tinderbox and he has an agency in the fbi that has a documented history of false statements, a documented history of misleading courts. t and you have to consider that before you approve a raid of this kind. and onee of the things that struck me with your initial comments, john , c with thesey sources is how they described this war. they they told you that there were two t

that was an improvement over james comey who leaked classified memos. passed them to the media, said he had amnesia 245 times, he was an improvement on robert mueller, he said he had no idea what the steel dossier was. that is one example. we could do the same thing with cia, and doj and the pentagon, it is scary, they are judge, jury and executioner. mark: right. we'll be right back. so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 11 million dogs. nice. and...the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections.

james comey was accused pretty much of some of the similar. if you remember the case of sandy berger. went into the national archives, he literally shoved documents down into his crotch, in his backside, into his socks, and walked out with those documents. within every buddy in the media, every democrat that she was just sloppy, very sloppy as he shoved it down his pants. he was sloppy, he didn't mean to take them with him. and everybody bought that excuse. so this therein brings up a double standard issue. what are your thoughts? >> well definitely there is a double standard. we've seen so many instances of allegedly classified material being compromised. the key point that everybody is missing here is that donald trump was not at mar-a-lago, so there was no reason not to issue a subpoena. returnable tomorrow. so that there's no claim claim that trump could have destroyed anything. this should have been a subpoena, not a search warrant. if it is a search warrant, it has to have a high level of cause demonstrating that the evidence would have

you also have record cases like james comey was accused of taking fbi material when he left the fbi. the history has been not to prosecute those cases. >> todd: jonathan, how many raids did you conduct on behalf of the glorified librarian that the national archive when you were an fbi agent? >> it was all the time. now, to be honest with you, that happened about as much as white supremacy arrest. it never occurs. those cases are unheard of at white supremacy, except in present pretty much because this is the thing is you. i was questioning where there is authority would come from for the fbi to get involved to the national archives can actually reach out to the fbi and the doj to do this, but you have to understand something to the fbi cannot tell the doj what they want to go after. they can recommend it, but the doj has to approve it. on the flip side, the doj can tell the fbi we want you to go after this and that is very important for people to see the trickle-down effect. i wanted to thing. when we look at christopher wray, we see exactly the one mistake, and i'm a bit trump suppo

because hillary clinton mishandled in most or whatever. >> lucas: this is how james comey described them. >> seven e-mailed chains classified at the special access program at the time they were sent and received. >> lucas: run-pass -- ryan fitzpatrick says it is a matter of public trust. >> we have too much mistrust at the fabric of our democracy and our country cannot survive with that distrust. >> lucas: one day after a real attack on the cincinnati steel office, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are calling for compact. >> gillian: we will have more on that later this evening. let's sort through what we know and don't know and what we are still learning minute by minute. bret baier joins us to analyze the new developments. bret calhoun we don't know everything yet. but it seems like we know a whole lot about this then we did when we ate lunch today. >> bret: that is right, gillian, good evening. listen, i think we learned a lot from the search warrant just about what potentially the doj is looking at. you heard from david spunt. it involves potential violations, the three statute

this guy is worse than james comey. this guy is worse than james comey because he's more manipulative. and one more thing, why isn't there an fbi raid at the white house? i brought this up last night on the show. forget hunter biden! what do you mean forget hunter biden? he is an ancillary player. you know who the real criminal is, joe biden, the big guy. the daily mail just broke a story about meeting in the white house in he was vice president with chinese communist party affiliated people. do you think this is -- why isn't the fbi rating joe biden's residence at the white house? everybody has to forget hunter, it is about joe biden. this is a big distraction. >> steve: speaking of coincidences, dan, do you think it is a coincidence the same day axios ran those images of suppose that white house documents that were shredded by the president and tried to flush down the toilet? that was a big story yesterday. the same day that they come out, they published those images that they execute the search warrant. the trump fam

what happened with the server and james comey. kennedy: i understand that and i believe kevin mccarthy when he says that. what happened in bengazi is unforgivable and should hold account physical as secretary of state. >> i have never belittled our ambassador. kennedy: begging for security was hillary clinton. >> that is not at all part of the 308 ticks of what i'm talking about here -- politics of what i'm talking about here. i'm saying too often congress runs show trial. we can all agree on that. >> they wish it wasn't ashow trial. >> i wish it wasn't and said from the beginning of the hunter biden investigation from when the stories were running and pulled off twitter. as a supporter of joe biden, i supported airing it all. i would never vote for hunter biden. he'd be a crappy president. i don't mind if they're investigated but they have to be done in good faith and can't be done for political punches. if you think that joe biden is the big guy and he was compromised by his son's dealings in ukraine and china -- kennedy: which

my mind goes back to james comey going in in the early stages while they were in the transition with michael flynn, and you know what he said just send some guys over there. they are not really with it yet, they don't know how this works. sent some agents an end see what you can get out of michael flynn before they can figure out how all of this works. because all the way back to the story. they better have it, they better have it nailed down an airtight or it's going to blow up in their faces. >> you do point out there is a pattern to this, so normally you should be able to trust the fbi, but not in the last ten years. it's kind of over a period but then you look at the fact that trump is an energy monster. they are just feeding him. this is going to make him run. do you think they've caused the opposite direction? >> i've never seen a base more energized and more angry. i'm angry get i feel violated, the whole country feels violated. they've declared war on us and now it's game on. imagine you are eric trump and you are at mar-a-lago, that's your home. your mother just died a few w

remember the trouble that former fbi director james comey got into when he made comments on the hillary clinton email investigation. jose, merrick garland is an institutionalist. it's a bedrock policy at the department of justice. yeah, trump supporters are going to whine that they don't know what's going on, but i think they're setting the trap for garland. if he were to comment, then trump supporters would say he's being treated differently and claim there's selective prosecution. >> ken, meanwhile, on the fbi raid, we have new reporting on what the a.g. garland should be doing next. what are you hearing? >> he's under a lot of pressure, even from inside his own department. there are people, we are told, who wish he could say more, at least give a statement, push back on some of these outlandish claims. paul is absolutely right. as i check in with department of justice sources on this, what i'm hearing is merrick garland is standing firm on this policy because he believes it's the right thing to do. what happened with james comey was the wrong thing and the department of justice inspe

comey, bill what's left behind from james comey, biii barr— what's left behind from james comey, biii barr in— what's left behind from james comey, bill barr in transparency would be very important for both of them to instiii— very important for both of them to instill some trust because republicans are at least a lot of them _ republicans are at least a lot of them don't want to instill trust in them don't want to instill trust in the doj _ them don't want to instill trust in the doj or— them don't want to instill trust in the doj or rpi, they really want to erode them from the road political purposes — erode them from the road political --uroses. , .,, erode them from the road political --uroses. , ., . purposes. this has electrified their ri . ht. purposes. this has electrified their right- there _ purposes. this has electrified their right- there is— purposes. this has electrified their right. there is a _ purposes. this has electrified their right. there is a feeling _ purposes. this has electrified their right. there is a feeling that - purposes. this has electrified t

i think notably when james comey made a number of statements during the clinton investigation, and i think that turned out to not be a good decision for law enforcement there. i think that ended out turning out badly and i would counsel them to take the approach they're taking now, which is to be very careful and make very limited public statements. >> josh, i think i saw you witness when he mentioned what happened with james comey. you are a former fbi agent. and the bureau is really under attack from the former president and his allies, and it's happening in a really stark way. what are you hearing from your former colleagues at the fbi about the impact it's having on them? >> you know, it's so interesting. i have been reaching out to a number of fbi people, and the theme has been, oh, my gosh. not again. this federal law enforcement agency now once again thrust into this political meat grinder, and what's so interesting is we have seen donald trump using the same playbook he used during the mueller investigation, and that is to try to undermine the credibility and the institutions

he took t over from james comey who leaked confidential memos written on fbi devices to the media. and then when he was called t before congress on two hundred forty five occasions, he saidsa he didn't know or didn't remember anybody listening to this cries out with the irs and they're going to go to jail. and he tookre over from robert mueller, whose entire special counsel case t was based on two premises, the information that wased false and the steele dossier and the shenanigans of the clinton hired disinformation firm. and whengp he was asked a specificallynd, he said under oath he knew nothing about either entity. and so this is very ironic because all of this is destroying this country and it comes from the peopleuntr who warned us democracy dies and darkness and they have descended upon the greatest cloud of autocracy and liberality in the history of this republic. and we're going to have that. we're going to have to doo something and hope and praydo that the house is under new leadership and that it will be up to kevin mccarthy and republicans, as you say,thyc right to repl

andy mccabe a tv deal and probably james comey is doing too much to settle speeches contract. this just came across the mass media seemed to wanted to put down dr. oz and herschel walker every single chance he can. i guess he didn't see the emerson poll not usually friendly to republicans. walker is leading when it documents warnock. comes to police he has their respect. when it comes to law enforcement in georgia. he has their respect. in south carolina, near georgia, what should people know about herschel walker? >> number one, he is going to be the next senator from georgia because warnock has been in biden's pocket. he has voted for every policy that biden wanted him to vote for. he hasn't done a damn thing about secure our broken border. he has increased inflation rather than trying to decrease it the bottom line is that we're going to do very well in november because the american people, president biden said something today, what the hell is going on? here's what is going on, mr. president. your policies have led to an invasion at our border. terrorism on the rise. you h

general michael flynn, james comey saying to his staff, before he figures out what is happening go talk to general flynn. no miranda warning. they send now, we've got the fbi and doj being used to go after school board parents. it just feels like it is picking and choosing disparate treatment by politicized fbi and doj. your final word, andrew. >> you could spend all day comparing this case to other cases showing how minor it is in comparison. we have to look at the facts, not that these are minor crimes. this is no crime at all. these are official acts connected to the presidency of donald trump. administrative it debate which documents belong in which government building or whether donald trump could maintain those records, that is for him to decide. that is for debate. not for criminal prosecution this is outrageous. elizabeth: the president has the power to classify or declassify. that is the heart of this. sam dewey, andrew cherkasky, thanks for coming on. come back soon. >>> new report coming in more evidence that president biden did know about hunter biden's questionable energy a

comey here you remember james comey back in the 2016 presidential campaign went out publicly and explaine why it was that they had reopened the investigation into hillary clinton's email server at a time when the national attention on the presidential campaign was at a fevered pitch. a lot of democrats criticized comey for coming forward at that time, talking about the investigation at all and lending credence to allegations against hillary clinton. in this case what merrick garland is saying is that he did not want to come out and talk about this publicly at all for that very reason you don't want to cast aspersions on somebody who may be perfectly innocent just because you're conducting an investigation. you may not find anything. but in this case because the former president went out publicly with this information, therefore, that changes the game there's enormous public interest he's feeling a need to explain himself at least a little bit here and we should get some more detail on exactly what it is that they're searching for what we won't probably get at all is the contents of those

that said, i think the example of james comey and his public statements really counsels against going outside of the justice department norm and making a bunch of statements regarding an ongoing investigation. i think the wisest course here is for the justice department to pursue the most conservative course possible in terms of statements to the public ultimately, obviously the trump team has the search warrant and the inventory of seized assets they certainly could reveal that if they wanted to. but in the meantime, i think the proper thing to do is to kind of take -- handle this by the book. >> renato, thanks very much. the former president is fund-raising off the fbi search. his team sent an email out today asking supporters to give money to stand up against what he calls the never-ending witch hunt republicans from all corners of the party coming to his defense. the florida governor, ron desantis, writing the raid of mar-a-lago is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the regime's political opponents. the georgia congresswoman, marjorie taylor greene

comey said that he didn't want to interfere in elections so even though hillary had broken the law, he didn't want to have that power, and then we were told that donald trump was impeached in february of 2020 and the subtext was that biden was going to be a candidate, and that was an interference in the process, and here they raid, here they incumbent president rates the house of somebody who is leading in the polls for the nomination of the republican party and in a head-to-head poll in just two years leading joe biden. and as far as this attorney general president relationship, donald trump fought constantly with jeff sessions and he fought constantly with bill barr over the independents of the attorney general and they were pretty independent to trump's chagrin. but look at what loretta lynch did. it right the middle of an investigation of hillary clinton, she met on the tarmac with bill clinton and then we had earlier eric holder bragged that he was "barack obama swingman," so the left sees the doj and the fbi as fused with the presidency as part of a revolutionary, really to be

first of all, let's follow up also with what sam said about james comey. decided newt indict hillary clinton then held a press conference to explain it. he was rightly criticized. he was roundly criticized from going out. remember we said on the show, you either indict somebody and go after them. or you don't indict somebody, and you shut up. so, i guess it is a little hypocritical to say that merrick garland should be telling us everything today when we actually were critical before of james comey from going out and worrying about the political nature of the case and talking too much of it by doj standards. so, elise, there is no doubt, as we keep talking about he needs to be more transparent, there is no doubt, there's a balancing act here. >> definitely. and i just -- you read some of the rhetoric that's coming out of the far right, and i feel like the january 6th commission had had political impact, you know, turning the 4% to 5% that needed to turn away from donald trump. and if there's not a big there there i worry that those supporters could see thi

it's very ironic because remember, james comey said that he didn't want to interfere in elections. so even though hillary had broken the law, he didn't want to have that power. and then we were told that donald trump was impeached in february. twenty in the subtext was that biden was going to be a candidate and that was an interference in the process. and here they raised here the incumbent president raids the house of somebody who is leading in the polls for the nomination of the republican party in a head to head poll in just two years, leading joe biden. and as far as this attorney general president relationship ,donald trump fought constantly with jeff sessions and he fought constantly with bill barr over the independence of the attorney general. and they were pretty independent to trump's chagrin. but look at what loretta lynch did right in the middle of an investigation of hillary clinton. she met on the tarmac with bill clinton. and then we we had earlier eric holder bragged that he was, quote, barack obama's wingman. so they the left sees the doj and the fbi as fuzed with t

james comey was accused pretty much of something very similar, if you'll recall, if you remember the case of sandy berger, sandy berger went intowe the national archives, he literally shoved documents down into his on his in his backside into his socks and walked out with those documents. but then everybody inn the media, every democratedia, e was just sloppy, very sloppy as he shoved it down his pants, his sloppy. he didn't mean to take them with them and everybody bought that excuse. so thiss they're in brings up the double standard issue. >> what are your thoughts? well, definitely there is aef doublein standard. we've seen so many instances ofn allegedlyy classified material being a . the key point that everybody's missing here is that donaldha trump was not in marat lago. is so there was no reason not to issue a subpoena return bowl tomorrow so that there's no soclaim that trump could have destroyed anything. been aould have been subpoena, not a search warrant. if it a subpoena, not a searcht, warrant. if itt is a search warrant, it has to have a high level of cause demonstratin

not going to hear now from christopher wray. >> reporter: james comey got in a lot of trouble for making those comments. a lot of people said it hurt hillary clinton's campaign, but most importantly, it's because there were no charges filed. and typically, the department of justice policy is, you don't talk about a case during the investigation and you don't talk about a case if there are no charges filed. you only talk about a case in legal filings. you only talk about a case if there are charges filed. and that's why i think it's unlikely we'll hear from doj here. >> we heard jon karl report on the search warrant that the former president has this in hand, he could reveal it to the public if he wanted to answer some of these questions. we both know that's very unlikely here. so, how and when could we learn more about what they were, in fact, searching for? >> reporter: that warrant could leak, but that would have limited information, anyway. the key is an affidavit that was filed with the court. they had to show probable cause that a crime was committed and they could find evidence at

comey declared that no prosecutor would ever bring charges against her, hillary clinton, prior to an election, we will remind you, take a look. >> 110 e-mails, 52 e-mail chains, have been determined by the agency to contain classified information at the time they were sent or received, eight of those contained information that was top-secret at the time. ever since, 36 had contained secret information at the time and a total of eight contained confidential information's as well. although we did not find that they intended to violate laws handling classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of highly classified information. and there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information and that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case is our judgment. sean: she was a secretary of state, donald trump was the president, the right to declassify anything at any time, there was no rate, no search warrant, no charges against hillary clinton, also no rate, where he went into the national

hillary clinton and then james comey on tape admitting she violated the law and deleted e-mails. top-secret top clearance e-mails repeatedly destroyed them on her server. but then said no prosecutor would ever prosecute and with the espionage act there they did not prosecute those two why would they go after donald trump if we have equal justice under the law? and that is why the people are so angry. the great sean hannity. thank you. the only person who thinks that this late on a saturday night. [laughter] >> i have the early bird special. i am going to bed. [laughter] >> see you soon. >> in the wake of this controversy there is a surprise that america has little trust. check this out fox news poll that says 75 percent of the country is unhappy and our leaders don't seem to realize they are making it worse equipping the irs with more auditors only suffer record inflation explaining into cities across the country while the administration doesn't close the border that our adversaries to capitalize and we need to reclaim the trust our leaders have lost. now we are headed to hoboken

in the clinton case was the james comey statement in full. >> although there is evidence of potential violations regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. steve: our judgment? interesting so if i disrupted outsider talks about applying the law evenly that with an insider and that is a matter of judgment? is that fear or favor? probably both. that's how it works with america's ruling class. the establishment a lot of favors going on. the deliberate distortion made is when you hear people say christopher wray is a republican but this is not about democrats versus republicans it is about the establishment versus those who challenge it. that's why when comey was caught leaking classified information as a potential crime nothing happened. so much for the grave importance of enforcing the law of the classified document. by the way so much for democrats ludicrous been to the trump waiver of the nuclear secrets they were so worried about it they waited 18 months. there's a higher principle at state as america and remind

>> greg: they feel they can get away with it, look at james comey, nothing happened to him and the john durham investigation is still going on with no solution in sight, they think they can get away with it. look at what hillary clinton did and nothing can happen to her. the deep state is run by the swamp and democrats in the deep state and nobody can hold them accountable, that is why they are so afraid of donald trump, if he becomes president again, he would reverse this craziness going on and the doj and fbi and other agencies. >> carley: 30 agentss looking for 15 boxes. seems like we are missing part of the story, so-called crime of withholding information from the national archives doesn't justify punishment of this fbi raid. do you have any idea what the documents thinked hold or if there is justification for this? >> greg: no, but it will be made public as soon as we get the majority back. i can't see a briefing happening any time soon because democrats are in return and have the gavel in the house and no way we can force administration officials to talk to us. until we have subp

comey and continues to protect him joe biden, the same agency leadership that perpetrated the false russia hoax four years and is not just the national issues that have led to historic distrust among the american people. if local issues as well like in my district the fbi's leadership overreach and politicized nation continues to occur. in the deadliest car crash in recent years where they mishandled a long time fbi informant. some of the national reporters may not know this issue for reporters in my district this is one of the most important fbi issues that we are facing in upstate new york. the american people are smart and they have had enough. it is unfortunately why there is a fundamental lack of trust in the american people deserve answers. house republican majority will leave no stone unturned when it comes to transparency and accountability into the brazen politicized nation of joe biden's d.o.j. targeting the political opponents. with that i yield to my colleague brad from ohio. >> thank you elyse. being from the cincinnati area i want to take a moment to condemn the attack
