Adams before going to the rose garden today. Quite the treat for those turkeys. Thank you for inviting us into your home today. That is for special report. Fair, balanced, unafraid. The story with ed henry starts right now. Ed breaking this hour, any minute President Trump will take the stage and sunrise, florida. The president bolted new yorks high taxes and proclaimed the Sunshine State is now his permanent presence. On a day the dow scores the close, he will no doubt fire up the supporters and the advisor from a city warning, traffic will be snarled around the arena since its drawing into thousands. You see the arrived hours before hand. They are at odds with the public impeachment efforts ramping up on capitol hill. You will take you to the rally live as it gets under way. Good evening, i am ed henry and
for martha maccallum. This is the story. Democrats appeared to be celebrating their efforts, announcing they will hold their first public hearing next week. The other hand, Democra
he was asked to stay on. i think if we had known that all of this information was gonna come out in this spring in early summer he would not have stayed for it because he does need to do things like trying to find a job and he doesn t need to leave the department and it s coming at possibly the worst time. let s talk a little bit about this merrick garland issue and the statement today when he says i d rather the have full confidence that he will conduct a thorough an invest pension investigation. if at any time the investigation proceeds action related to the mattering question is warranted i will not hesitate to move swiftly. for regular people like us, we think that must be important the inspector general but what we know witnessed over the last four years is the politicization or the interference in these inspector generals in every department has one and so now there seems to be concerned by congressional people like jerry nadler and others that that s not enough. what should
independently and his reports have come out really in if we look at the reports he s done into the abuses and the russian investigation he s hung out with those who have generally satisfied both sides of the aisle. he is known to be a straight shooter and i do believe we will get an answer from him. as we ve seen in news reports, the answers we get from him often don t live up to all of the end society and hand-wringing that you see whether it s by conservatives or by progressives as we sort of get into this finish line and i say that is a word of caution to the public only because we don t have all the facts. in part because the justice department won t give it to us and so in maryland s mind in an ideal world we will all sit back and wait for the work to be done and think about other things as we ve seen over the last four years. that s not exactly how it happened sorry merrick garland. but in an ideal world that s what we do because michael horowitz the inspector general does have a
struck s lovely fbi lover. he mocks her at campaign rallies in graphic language and occasionally to graphic noises to the delight of fox news. watch, trump mockingly imitates struck and page at the rally. wait until you get to the part he starts grunting. that s one way to counter program your own impeachment. attack and threaten and try to humiliate anyone involved in the investigation against you that has brought you to this point. here s another, though, the day the house judiciary committee formally took up the articles for the house impeachment inquiry they had testimony all day long that day from the director of the justice department michael horowitz and tomorrow when the full house formally takes up articles of impeachment on impeachment day in the house, what s the senate going to be doing tomorrow? at the same time they re going to be taking testimony from
inspector general horowitz. ah, to give fox news something to cover. conservative media and republican members of congress and the white house had desperately hoped would be damning and terrible for the russia investigation and for the people involved in it. it is weird and history will reflect this oddity that republicans have been working double duty during these impeachment proceedings, trying to fend off impeachment but also actively at the same time and with the same energy trying to discredit the russia investigation. right now during the impeachment as a way of both distracting from and trying to discredit the impeachment. it has not worked that way, though. inspector general horowitz did find there were problems in the of applying for one specific warrant that was used against a person in the russia investigation. but bottom line he also found the russia investigation was proper, that it was properly predicated. and as for the behavior of all
