it was bruce ohr taking information from his wife s company, fusion gps and i christopher steele, walking it over to the fbi and redirecting the fbi to a different piece of evidence than what they started with. remember what they started with. george papadopolous. big case, right? sean: the president tweeted that out we know from our reporting early on that they thought the papadopoulos issue wasn t as serious as they thought. bruce ohr gives them something else to follow. sean: didn t the professor in london say no big deal. nothing there. nothing burger. that s what he called it. sean: what else did you get in your report? at the end of the day what we now know is ohr is acting like a w steerer. he s putting the fbi onto something else. we now know that what he was using, the steele dossier, he himself thought it was uncorroborated, unverified, not worthy of being submitted to the court, yet mccabe and all those people you said who signed it, they represented that it
trump s attorney rudy giuliani told the associated press the president will not answer questions for robert mueller about obstruction of justice..e the mayor is now with us, president s attorney.. mr. mayor, good to see you. how are you? how are you? sean: okay. obstruction is off the table. they re not even asking for it? they re asking for it. the only way we would ever consider it is if we would get the questions on collusion first, which we have agreed to do. we ll review them. if they re fair, if they re comprehensive, if there s no holding back of questions so they can ask questions in a later round, if it s done in good o faith. then when we finish that, we ll talk about any further questions. further questions about collusion or obstruction. the problem with obstruction is this. it all takes place in most presidencies. to agree would be to waive major presidential privilege. also, it would involve very very deep conversations that are very much under the
clearance. sean: maybe hears the president talking about war, peace. maybe he decides a damaging piece of secret intelligence should be leaked because it would hurt donald trump without worrying about whether it could hurt the united states. this is a perfect perversion of what it means to be in federal office. this man or woman, we think man, unless he s lying ab that, too. this man should quit and hold a press conference. that would be the honorable thing to do. this is why i don t think it s any of the generals. nobody that went to west point. pompeo put it best. he said, i was taught, if you disagree with the boss, you decide how important it is. if it s not important, you stay. if it s conscience, you leave. you stand up, like a hero. this is no hero. this is a slimer. sean: it s also dangerous. dangerous? it s exceedingly dangerous. this man decided he s the repository of truth.
doubt. so, somebody couldld be convicd beyond a reasonable doubt. somebody that s guilty may not be convicted because there isn t proof beyond a reasonable doubt.ay you got to be naive to think that it s a search for pure objective truth. only place they can find truth is if you go to chuck todd s little magic room and meet the press can figure out the truthu he s the one complaining about this. sean: there s a phrase in the washington post talking about this anonymous. sleeper cells have awakened in states. cells have awakened in meaning the resistance within the administration. one line that caught my attention, i was talking about it earlier, is that, so we will do what we can to steer the administration in the right direction, until one way or another, it s over. why do i think that should be a secret service investigation and nobody seems to pick up on it? this is an unelected,, unaccountable, anonymous bureaucrat. may be with top-secret
spent the last week saying we need more transparency, that might bolster the case r for republicans in congress to release this info. sean: might be as early as next week according to people i m talking to. ed henry, thank you. joining us ohio congressman jim jordan, matt gaetz.. when you look at the people ed mentioned in his report, page, strzok, bruce ohr and mccabe, we ve got all the essential figures in the insurance policy aspect ofmc this. one has to wonder, is this now and christopher steele, is that where this is leading to? the first guy that bruce ohr talks to after he meets with christopher steele is andy mccabe. called him up and then meets with him an page. all of the key people at the fbi knew what was going on before they take the dossier to the court. they knew ohr s involvement. they knew who paid for the dossier, and they knew the guy who wrote it, christopher steele, had told bruce ohr that he was desperate to stop trump.
