Accusations affect impeachment . Parnas is under indictment from the Southern District of new york. He walks to work with the lawyers. Should we take his claims about ukraine a grain of salt. What about impeachment . Never ending grand jury like trial which critics warning democrats want . While they call witnesses like john bolton . With something momentous as this, should voters hear from those at the heart of the controversy, the bidens, about their involvement in ukraine . We have the debate. This debate. Critics pointing out Nancy Pelosis rhetoric getting increasingly heated, over over e top . Will that hurt impeachment in the eyes of voters as well as pelosis credibility . It is more than just pelosi and her souvenir impeachment pens. Pelosi claims impeachment is not about the evidence. It is really about allegations. This debate tonight, critics say past time for pelosi and leftleaning media stop with the rhetoric. Stick with the facts. Stop comparing trump impeachment to the clinton and nixon charges. It is nothing like that. Those charges involve those two president s were way worse. Anybody that talks like that, dont have the facts. That is what experts are saying. The debate tonight. Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Liz okay. Welcome to the show. Youre watching the fox business network. Okay the debate. How does the lev parnas accusations affect impeachment . Parnas, again he is under indictment in the Southern District of new york. He want to work with the government, his lawyer says. It is about reducing his sentence. So experts are saying take parnas allegations about the president and ukraine with a grain of salt. More on that and impeachment from kevin corke in washington. Reporter good to be with you. More accusations and more of the same in washington as the president fends off allegations of payforplay with respect to ukraine this as the senate now prepares to open up the very own impeachment trial. You mentioned the big name were following today, lev parnas. He has been talking a great deal on television. He is unindictment as you says. He says he has information lawmakers should consider. For example he claims leaders in ukraine were told by him if they announced they were looking into burisma and bidens then president poroshenko would get an invite to the oval office. Parnas claims he did this all this at direction of rudy giuliani, this is key, at the behest of President Trump who today denied knowing parnas at all. I dont even know who this man is, other than i guess he attended fundraisers, so i make a picture with him. Im in a room i take pictures with people. I take thousands and thousands of pictures with people all the time, thousands during the course of a year. And often times i will be taking a picture with somebody, i say, i wonder what newspaper that one will appear him. I dont know him. Perhaps he is a fine man. Perhaps he is not. I know nothing about him. Reporter no surprise House Democrats want the new information in the upcoming trial with claim by parnas, mike pence, Mick Mulvaney and john bolton were all in the loop on attempts to get ukraine to open investigations into burisma and hunter biden. I think bolton is a very important witness because i think between me and bolton we could fit in all the dots. I think because i was on the ground there and he was over here. You would be willing to testify . I would be very willing to testify. Reporter very willing to testify, says lev parnas. As we wait to see just who and how much material might be included in the upcoming trial, we do know that even as chief Justice John Roberts presides it is Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell who will set the pace of play. As you know, well be looking forward to next week. That is probably when things will get underway as we all await the big vote. Do they have 67 votes to throw president out of office of the presidency . Well be watching together. Betting money says not yet. Back to you. Liz kevin, thank you so much. Great to see you sir. Thank you for your good reporting. We have a lot to cover. Bring in former federal prosecutor doug burns. Great to see you. Thank you. Liz how does all this affect the impeachment case . Hard to say. Number one we dont try cases in the media. Im getting sick and tired honestly of the breathless over the ski tips fulminations about this when the point is if the guy is witness, let him come in he will abnormal witness. To break down what they are leaking, there is a little bit in it for everybody. On one hand the left again was, hysterical that the woman yovanovitch was under surveillance. He heard that he debunked it. Liz parnas debunked this. The guy telling me this was extremely intoxicated was. Didnt take it seriously. In criminal law we have puffing i can do 10 kilos a week, theyre puffing. That hurts the left. What helps the left he started making noise about how the president knew this and president knew that liz but he never spoke to him. Never spoke to him. It is not clear. So again, basically fundamentals im a trial lawyer. Not try it in the media. Trial lawyer would tell you exactly way you teed it up, take it with a grain of salt. He is a defendant in the Southern District off new york trying to help himself. Liz the Justice Department is investigating leaks by potentially james comey in 2016 and 2017 involving classified information possibly russian intelligence affecting the Hillary Clinton email server case. Not surprised at all. Liz the second time he is being investigated appears. We were talking about this before. James comey is one of the great enigmas honestly i seen in years and years. He was respected figure. U. S. Attorney. He was attorney general. Liz why the leaking . I dont know what he was up to why he was doing but it is pretty clear those watching this, he engaged in leaking. I almost fell out of my chair the day he cavalierly, that is really the key words oh, yes, i gave that to this friend of mine who is law professor at columbia. You remember that fame must exchange, Daniel Richmond because i wanted to get it in the Public Square and get a prosecutor appointed. Which was Mueller Probe. Couldnt believe it. Liz Mueller Probe which locked up the country for two years of the lets get back to what is going on with impeachment. Andrew mccarthy making the point, that the democrats trying to turn the senate trial into openended never ending grand jury probe. Yes. Liz where they get to dictate witnesses. Do you think that something as momentous as this the bidens should be called in. There are two schools of thought, that the impeachment is like the grand jury and return of indictment then you go to trial. Historically it really doesnt work that way. Generally speaking most of what is supposed to be developed happens in the house, okay . There is less emphasis on Additional Information and additional witnesses. What i find absurd to be blunt is that they were saying over and over in the house, it is overwhelming case. There is nothing to talk about. Then they breathless pivot we need new information. That is ridiculous. Liz by the way ukraine leaders a dozen times said, a dozen times, they did not feel pressure, no quid pro quo. We have the gao now saying that that they broke the rules. A number of my closest friend and i discussed over and over. He is veteran lawyer and judge. The point is, i mean this is just ridiculous, you know the way this is being handled in the sense of new information is necessary. It is overwhelming case they say. At the same time and they just go back and forth with the same rhetoric. Liz, not to be cute, but it is like a mattel doll. You remember the dolls you wind them up. You wind up the political mattel doll, the president sold out his office in order to get dirt on his opponent. Just frustrating. Liz the president says his team was not allowed to present any fact witnesses. Joe biden and the bidens. Ukraine government is second to russia in that area of the world in terms of corruption. Right. Liz you know, it certainly worth considering to having bidens called in because he could be, as Vice President he could be a future president. Ukrainian, energy company, would want to curry favor with d. C. By putting hunter on the board. Again, this is breathlessly absurd rhetoric. They turn around, say hunter biden and joe biden having to to do with this. They say over and over on television. Reality in the taped call, the whole essence of your complaint that the president said can you do us a favor, the country, by the way, look into this burisma corruption which involves, if i were talking to a judge, which involves the bidens, your honor. Therefore we want to call them in, see what they know, so we can square it against the phone call. But again, politics and criminal law. They dont mesh. Liz yeah. I heard people on television literally say with a straight face, quite troubling, particularly lawyers, there is not one scintilla of evidence that the bidens had anything to do with this. That is ridiculous. Liz will you come back . Sure. Liz the comey story will have legs. Appreciate it, liz. Liz markets blast a new high, another big trump policy win. Nasa 2. 0. Edward lawrence has the story from the white house. Edward. Reporter administration taking a victory lap over signing the phase one trade deal with china. Ratification of usmca on usmca. The document will be here at the white house shortly for the president to sign that. Now im told that from canadian sources that canada will take up their part of ratifying usmca. They will start their work on january 27th when their new parliament is seated. On china, the u. S. Trade representative says that the agreement we had, phase one trade deal is binding, as well as he believes has enough enforcement in it to protect intellectual property. White house Economic AdvisorPeter Navarro says the chinese had no choice but to sign it. Listen. Their economic model is bankrupt and thats why they really do need to reform that model. In addition to the tariff pressure from President Trump, they have domestic pressure on a model that is imploding. They need to join the world where we have fair trade, reciprocal trade. That will be better for their economy. Reporter chinese vice premier that says china will strictly honor this agreement. Commerce secretary wilbur ross says the u. S. Will be watching closely to see how this is implemented. This agreement, has the most precise, the most effective trade enforcement procedures of any trade agreement, any country has ever had. The complaining party, presumably u. S. , then has the right, as long as they act in good faith, and as long as we act proportionately, to unilaterally put tariffs or other retaliatory action on china and they cannot reprise against us. Reporter spokesman for the Foreign Ministry in china says this is a good agreement for the world. He goes on to say this, quote. That it also shows that our two countries have the ability to act on the basis of equality and Mutual Respect and work through dialogue and consultation to properly handle and effectively resolve relevant issues, liz. Markets are he showing two here positive economic news. Back to you. Liz now were talking dow 30,000. Edward lawrence, great to see you. Thank you for your reporting. The latest narrative floated by iran to fix the big credibility problem in the ice of the world shooting down that ukrainian airplane. We have the story. Well talk to the israeli ambassador to the United Nations about that. Coming up. My agerelated Macular Degeneration could lead to vision loss. So today i made a plan with my doctor, which includes preservision. Because he said a multi vitamin alone may not be enough. And its my vision, my morning walk, my sunday drive, my grandsons beautiful face. Only preservision areds2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the National Eye Institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. Its how i see my life. Because its my vision. Preservision. My hands are everything to me. But i was diagnosed with dupuytrens contracture. And it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. Thought surgery was my only option. Turns out i was wrong. So when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. Like you, my hands have a lot more to do. Learn more at factsonhand. Com today. Liz irans military floating a new story. It is trying to blame a u. S. Cyberattack on its Radar Systems as having caused the downing of that ukraine airplane after new video showing two missiles were shot at it by the Iranian Military. All 176 people died in the crash. Bring in my next guest, israeli ambassador to the United Nations danny danone. Thank you for having me. Liz your reaction to the story . That is another lie. Enough with the lies. They said the it was regime, without taking orders. Blaming u. S. , israel, about time they take responsibility for this act. They should pay for what they did. I heard leaders from canada and other European Countries demanding answers about that at fact. Liz lets move on. Sources tell us irans religious dictators have 200 billion in slush fund moneys to fund themselves, to fund terrorist proxy forces terrorizing the middle east. Watch this exchange. Lets listen. It is no secret that khamenei, has a slush fund, a secretive fund of 200 billion that he is using at his discretion for their own corruption on one hand and on the other hand, using it for undermining regimes in the surrounding area of iran. Detableizeing the entire situation. Number one, you have a breaking news story because that is a very classified bit of information that the ambassador just talked about, about the slush fund. Yes, iranians have a slush fund that they dont just use for terrorism. It is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. The point is that they have a worldwide reach with their, with their terrorism organization. Liz what do they use the fund for . Oh, the 200 billiondollar slush fund primarily is put in their own pockets. Ambassador, i dont know why he would want to let that information out. Liz your reaction to this . Unfortunate. For people in iran, nobody is against you, we support you. You are upset because of the regime. They are using your money, taking it to sponsor terrorism all over the world. Theyre paying proxies in lebanon, syria. Spending on in europe, iranians need to know what happens with their money. They were starving in iran. In 2019, 1500 iranians were killed by Iranian Military because they want to protest against this corruption. Be strong. Were with you. Israelis, europeans, america. We hope the day will come when iranians will choose to elect the government that will choose funds to support the iranian people. Liz Trump Administration sanctioned one of these funds, the National Development fund last fall. To your point standing with the iranian people. Nancy pelosi getting, House Speaker getting criticized for minimizing street protesters in iran. Lets take a listen to this watch. The fact is this. There were protesters in the streets before against the regime. After the taking out of soleimani, there were protesters in the street joined together. As you know, against us. That wasnt good. But there are difficult receipts why people are in the street. Of course we would love to see the aspirations of peopleof iran with a better situation there but escalating the situation, unless we have exhaughed every other remedy which we havent . Well we dont know that. Liz your reaction to this . How do comments like that play on streets of iran . We have to empower the iranian people because of their suffering. By the way theyre shutting down internet. When there are riots or demonstrations theyre shutting internet which is ridiculous. We have to stand with them and support them. President trump to attack soleimani was a show of deterrence, not escalation. Showed strength. U. S. Is more respected. After multiple attacks against u. S. Targets in the region that was very important decision for President Trump. Liz 2020 democrats are attacking President Trump for the drone strike on soleimani. President trump didnt start prompts in the middle east. Joe biden attacking him, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, joe biden saying trump tossed a stick of dynamite in tinderbox. Senator Elizabeth Warren saying it was recless. Your reaction to 2020 democrats . I dont want to get into your politics. We have enough politics in jury. I know the Deputy Defense minister in israel. I know soleimani what he was planning to do against your targets, not against israel but iranian people. President trump was liz forgive me, because the President Trump and white house has been attacked for saying that soleimani was going to attack u. S. Embassies saying there was no proof of that but youre saying there was . Absolutely. Liz you have seen it . For 19 years mr. Soleimani was the mastermind of terrorism in the region and the world. We saw attacks in europe. Liz have you seen proof they were going to attack u. S. Embassies . He was going to plan attacks against american targets, against european targets and against middle east targets. He was funding all those attacks i so i think right decision at right time. We support President Trump for that. Liz okay, so what is the next step with iran if what happens next . We see them floating trial balloons about trying to fix, repair their credibility. What do you think they will do next . There is fear that they are going to retaliate in a big way . I think Bigger Picture what is happening with the nuclear agreement. We are seeing European Countries actually, i bless them for doing that, saying agreement is not working. Maybe we have to put the sanctions back against iran. This is the way to change what they are, what is happening iran. To put more sanctions on the regime. The u. S. Is doing it. I expect the europeans to do the same. Liz your honor, thank you so much. Ambassador to United Nations, danny danone. Come back soon. Thank you. Liz Sanders Warren fight is you letter i. But here is the story. That democrats are repeating same mistakes in 2016 that sent trump to the white house. Do we want to see a redo all over again . The story next. So you only pay for what you need. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Ive always loved and im still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. So if theres a better treatment than warfarin, ill go for that. Eliquis. Eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Whats next . Sharing my roots. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. Liz as weve been reporting for some time questions mounting whether the 2020 democrats currently serving as senators can give the president a fairwee sanders and Elizabeth Warren did heat up big time. Fox newss peter doocy joins me from orange city, iowa. Peter . Reporter liz over the last couple month there has been a lot of talk about impeachment on campaign trail that now republican lawmakers if certain candidates have disqualified themselves as impartial jurors. Republican senator from tennessee Marsha Blackburn tweets this. Senator sanders, senator warren, senator klobuchar and senator bennet are spending millions of dollars to defeat donald trump. Were supposed to be believe they will be impartial during the trial. They should recuse themselves. Pete buttigieg doesnt have to recusing himself from anything but he does have some thoughts on this. A republican senator invoking the idea of objectivity in context of this impeachment, is preposterous is best word i can think of. Reporter Bernie Sanders says he has not smoking to Elizabeth Warren since a hot mic picked up this Exchange Tuesday night. I think you called me a liar on national tv . What . I think you called me a liar on national tv . Lets not do that. If you want to have the discussion, you tell me. I dont want i dont want to get in the middle. I want to say hi. Reporter sanders is stuck in d. C. With other senators running for the impeachment trial. I would rather be in iowa there. There is caucus in 2 1 2 weeks. I would rather be in New Hampshire and nevada and so forth. But i swore a constitutional oath at the United States senate, to do my job and im here to do my job. Reporter because the senators are back in washington, d. C. , Pete Buttigieg is the only top tier candidate campaigning out here in iowa today. 2 1 2 weeks from the caucuses. Liz . Liz peter doocy, great to see you my friend. Lets bring in my next guest. He is former California Republican gubernatorial candidate john cox. Great to see you, john. Good afternoon, liz. Liz circular firing squad. Obama warned about circular firing squad. Warned dont do it. They dont have a frontrunner. Now Party Leaders are panicking that they are making the same mistakes that got trump elected in 2016. Your reaction . Not only makes those mistakes but making same mistakes that happened in 1972, when George Mcgovern went way left lost 49 states to nixon. Theyre making the same mistake Walter Mondale made in 1984. He lost 49 states to Ronald Reagan that will happen again, liz. Extreme elements of the party, the part of the Democrat Party that wants everything controlled by government and they want taxes everywhere, that is the party firmly in control of these primaries. The reason that sanders and warren are getting into it right now, theyre dividing up that extreme left part of the party. There is not room enough for both of them. They will lose to biden if they end up splitting that vote. So they have got to go after each other. It will be fun to watch. Liz yeah. To your point, it is getting ugly. The clinton crowd is now going after bernie. Again this is just like 2016. Joe lockhart, bill clintons former press secretary in a new oped is ripping into Bernie Sanders saying he refuses to take back his support for communist leader fidel castro of cuba. That he basically is flipflopping on guns. He is also saying in the 70s sanders called for the government to get rid of the cia, get rid of coast guard, cut pentagon funding in half, return to local militias. Theyre playing hardball. Clinton crowd going after Bernie Sanders. Well they are, because theyre afraid of sanders message. It will not be accepted. They know it. They know he will get down to huge defeat. As it is i think biden would get defeated too. This is about the philosophy of the Democratic Party right now. That is more government, more control, centralized things in the hands of government. We havent learned from history, have we. Castro certainly has given people food in cuba and medical care but its lousy food and medical care. Liz yeah. The American Experience is all about competition and quality. Liz and optimism. Optimism. And optimism. Liz i want to get this quickly, a final point. A book coming out bad for the Democrat Party. Peter schweizer. I know peter. Liz amazon saying americas progressive elite has never before published information about Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, joe biden, kamala harris, amy klobuchar. It is not looking that good when the book comes out. No. Peter done a lot of great work over the years, developing how much money clintons took especially from foreign governments. Let me tell you bernie is now a millionaire. Elizabeth warren had a career suing on behalf of big companies. You know these people really are all trying to compete for the same votes and trying to out socialist each other. Really they have a lot of problems in their own past. I hope the people of this country look at what is going on in the economy, the growth, the, another stock market record today. More importantly, the president has cut regulations and unleashed more freedom and liberty for businesses as well as individuals. I think that is what this campaign will be about, freedom and liberty and i welcome it. Liz great words to hear. Inspiring and optimistic. John cox, come back soon. Love having you on. Yes.

White House Press SecretaryStephanie Grisham among our guests and wilbur ross, what is historic day for the Trump Administration an indeed for the country, another big deal done. Washington examiner chief Political Correspondent with us tonight, byron york and congressman matt gaetz is here. National Border PatrolCouncil President brandon judd, on immigration and what the administration is doing to secure our borders an rationalize our immigration system. At the top of the hour look forward to you joining us. You too, liz. Liz thank you, lou. It will be a jampacked show always. Good to see you, lou. This story, did nancy pelosi finally jump the shark with her bare knuckle over the top rhetoric . Will that rhetoric hurt impeachment in the eyes of voters . Is pelosis credibility now on the line . Watch this. He is impeached for life. This shows the true motivation i believe of the other side. It is their dislike for this president and the good work he is doing. If the purpose was to force Mitch Mcconnell to bow to her will and to agree to call witnesses and get more documents, then it was a total failure, there is no question about it. She didnt do that. On december 18th, the house of representatives impeached the president of the United States. An impeachment that will last forever. Liz even cnn criticized the sober, somber, prayerful, pelosi as gleeful, gloating at the suesouvenir pen signing ceremony. Is goes beyond that. We have more for you. Lets talk about it with vince coglianese, daily caller editorial director. Good to see you, vince. Is this rhetoric going to affect Voter Sentiment on impeachment . It will add to a trend of people saying impeachment, this is a little ridiculous. Weve already seen numbers going that way. This is the latest iteration of that, you can only hold serious face so long if it is fraudulent. In the case of nancy pelosi it was clear for a while it was. She said this was urgent and somber. Instead she lollygags and has big celebration when they sent over the articles of impeachment. Liz pelosi claiming impeachment is not about evidence, but about the allegations. Watch this. Not a question of saying, proof, what allegations have been made. And that has to be subjected to scrutiny as how we go forward but it should not be ignored and in the context of other events that have happened that would substantiate some of that. Liz so no proof, just allegations are enough to get a president impeached. Move on to this. Senator mcconnell, to your point then, and cnn criticized pelosi for the celebber to impeachment signing ceremony. Watch this. House democrats said over and over that they recognized the gravity and the seriousness of this action. Well nothing says seriousness and sobriety like handing out souvenirs. As though this were a happy bill signing and instead of the gravest process in our constitution. Liz i thought that was a little jarring and certainly i think off message but as you heard nancy pelosi there say in fact this was a sad and tragic day. Then there she is holding up the pen and having photographs taken with those pens, i think it was a little off message for someone who tried to set a very serious tone and here she is posing for photographs with a pen. Liz she is also saying the senate trial will be a coverup, you know mcconnell has russian connections, on and on. Your take of all of this then . All schoolyard nonsense. No takebacks, he will be impeached forever. That is silly. The big ceremony handing out ceremonial pens only missing donald trump pinata and confetti. I think she will have to pay for it. Liz you when it hits polls voters say enough is enough. This will under mine the democratic case this was in any way a serious effort going after the president in a legitimate way. Liz vince, from the the daily caller come back soon. Wish we had more time. Appreciate it. Vince colanese of the daily caller. We have bombshell involving james comey. We will break it down with you with an expert coming up. Con Liberty Mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas. Only pay for what you need. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty.

Download the my account app to manage your appointments making todays Xfinity Customer Service simple, easy, awesome. Ill pass. Liz latebreaking bombshell. The New York Times reporting that the Justice Department is now probing illegal leaks of classified information to the media in 2016 by then fbi director james comey. It led to stories published in 2017 by the Washington Post and the New York Times. Lets bring in Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow hans van spakosky to break it down. It involved classified information involving russian intelligence and russian documents that the fbi got and started leaking. Reportedly emails between democrat, dnc leader Debbie Wasserman schultz and a nonprofit official associated with george soros talking about how then attorney general Loretta Lynch was going to step in and stop the fbi probe into Hillary Clintons emails. There is no indication that email between Debbie Wasserman schultz and the george soros nonprofit official is even valid, true and authentic but it is comey leaking information. Second time he is caught leaking at least. Your reaction to that . If in fact he leaked classified information, classified intelligence assessment, that is potentially a serious violation of federal law and, that kind of mishandling of classified material has this the past led to the prosecution of many other federal government employees. Liz here is, lets back up. There is history here. A pattern hans, i like you to talk about. Federal prosecutors in new york, have looked into james comey, after he had used his personal lawyer and friend, Daniel Richmond, who was on the payroll of the fbi as an independent contractor. He leaks the contents of his memo about comey. Comey leaked it, to Daniel Richmond about comeys talks with trump, President Trump in the oval office about mr. Flynn. Then he leaks it to Daniel Richmond in order to initiate the special counsel appointment, mening robert mueller. This is the only, it feels like only tip of the iceberg what we know about james comey was doing in manipulating and working with the press. Youre reaction . Well, yeah. In fact that is not something that the fbi director should be doing. Part of the, prior ig report by the Inspector General of the Justice Department was blaming the fbi for many of its personnel, not just comey, but many of it is personnel violating standard policy and protocols of the fbi by leaking widespread leaking of confidential information related to Law Enforcement investigations. This is the kind of thing that shakes the confidence of the public in the objectivity of the fbi. If james comey actually was guilty of doing, this is a very serious violation. It is something that needs to be looked at by the current attorney general, because they need to investigate it, and once again, take a look at, should he or should he not be prosecuted for this . Liz let me back up. So this is really about, you know, we have two things happening. We have the president being, going through an impeachment trial, talking about, to ukraine about the bidens, right . Saying help us out, looking into what is going on with the bidens, also what happened with we get that part of the story. The big story is, Intelligence Units and intelligence authorities and fbi under the obama administration, setting the tone, setting a narrative, in order to get action taken against candidate trump and involving Hillary Clintons email probe. So, again, this is about intelligence and fbi officials setting the narrative in the media. And that media narrative has been with us for months and years now. Go ahead. Well, again, i mean that is one of the reasons why the fbi, which frankly used to have very good reputation, its reputation has been damaged liz leadership, the leadership . The leadership, yes. Liz men and women out in the field offices who we talked to, theyre just bee besides themselves. This is about the leadership in the headquarters. I didnt mean to interrupt but go ahead. No, that is exactly right and in fact that is a real problem not just because of the problems at the i. G. Found with whole investigation of the Trump Administration, but, this, kind of leaking of classified tears that is what the fbi is supposed to be doing. Investigating leaks of classified materials by people in other agencies. It is pretty hypocritical for them to be leaking this kind of material themselves. Liz hans, theyre setting a narrative now about the doj watchdog report about fbi fisa abuses, trying to down play it. Trying to set a narrative of criminal probe or russia probe by john durham. Theyre still manipulating the media. Final word, hans. Theyre manipulating the media. Everyone needs to understand this kind of serious misconduct by the most Law Enforcement agency in the country cannot be tolerated. Something has to be done about it. Liz it is about powers used by, by an administration to go after a political opposition party. Yes. Liz that is stuff of east germany. Weve been on the story. Well stay on the story.

[ ] liz in a rare move, the Border Security i. C. E. Subpoenaed Law Enforcement in the city of denver to get jail release information of four criminal illegals wanted for deportation due to violent crimes. I. C. E. May consider expanding these subpoena practices to other sanctuary cities. Your reaction to this . I am thankful its being done. You have individuals that end up running certain agencies that have their own agenda. This does not reflect the officers that work in the different prir sons or local Police Officers and sheriffs. It reflects their managers who have nothing to worry about and this comes at the expense of the Law Enforcement officers out there putting their lives on the line and at the expense of the citizens of those cities. I said its times before. All that you are doing by making these sanctuary cities, usual make some type of magnet for the criminal elements to come ask ask. Liz we have more details on these four men. They had been arrested and jailed for violent offenses, sexual assault, child abuse and domestic violence. This news comes after the sanctuary city released an illegal alien who assaulted his far it with a broken coffee cup, then went on to sexually abuse and murder a 92yearold woman. He has just been indicted. Your reaction to that. You obviously bring the tory out. But its something that we have been seeing for quite some time. You see the angel moms that have been affected. Whats even more bothersome is you dont have enough politicians to show they care. You have one guy out there sitting in the white house. But hes not getting enough help by a lot of these individuals who have their own agendas. Liz a federal judge could hold the is in could be tempt if they dont comply. 153,000 illegal aliens arrested in the last year. Murder, homicide, kidnapping, relationship and assault. Your reaction to those numbers . Not just those numbers. There is a bunch the numbers we dont hear are the ones we dont know about. Those that were able to enter and did not get inspected. Those that re leaving their countries after the crimes they committed. Thats the number they committed. We dont know how many are actually here. We dont know how many have gone the away.
