FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight December 2, 2017

Indications are that mcconnell does have the votes. Senator bob kosher is the long republican holdout. The final vote is not expected until very late tonight or perhaps early tomorrow. Well have the full report and much ado about nothing. Special counsel would beer mueller charging former National Security advisor Michael Flynn with lying to the fbi. But so far there is no evidence of collusion and we know that collusion itself is not a crime. Well take all of that up here tonight. Our top story, the Justice Department issuing that arrest warrant for jose garcia zarate. Arrest warrant urn sealed in the Western District of texas by the Justice Department. It accuses him of violating his supervise release, an existing federal detainer requires that he reef naint custody of the u. S. Marshal service and he will be transported to the Western District of texas pursuant to that warrant. Perhaps justice will be served after a San Francisco jury sided with the defense and said the shooting was an accident. The juriy was not told he was a 7time felon and fivetime depore tee. And his attorney wasted no time in further politicizing the tragedy. For those who might criticize this verdict, there are a number of people who comments on this case in the last couple years. The attorney general of the United States, the president and the Vice President of the United States. Let me reminds them that themselves under investigation by special prosecutor in watched and they may themselves soon avail themselves of the presumption of innocence and the beyond a reasonable doubt standard. I would ask them reflect on that before they comments or disparage the result in this case. Lou a spokesman for the prosecutor said they will respect the jurys decision. The jury is not what we were hoping for, but both sides gave it their all. Lou if thats all the prosecution had, San Francisco has got big, big problems. Claudia cowan on the next steps on the case that ignited a national firestorm. Reporter acquitted of murder and assault charges, zarate may finds himself in court again including felony illegal reentry. President trump called it disgraceful and said his exoneration is a complete travesty of justice. Build the wall if the San Francisco jury never heard about his criminal history. The. You defend acknowledged the anguish being felt by steinles family. They should not interpret this verdict as diminishing their loss. Its not about that. The reality is we have 300 million guns in our society. 4050 accidental shootings every day. This is just a tragedy what happened. Reporter in San Francisco they refused to cooperate with federal authorities. The Trump Administration vowing they will not stop until stricter immigration laws are on the books. It tells our major sanctuary cities, you are not getting federal funding. Reporter he was convicted on a gun charge and will be sentenced next month. Possibly up to three years. But with credit for time served, he probably wont be here much longer. The department of justice has unsealed a federal arrest warrant. Sceness done here he will be turned over to federal authorities and possibly face more prison time. Lou on Capitol Hill Senate republicans are set to deliver President Trump and the American People a big historic victory on tax cuts and tax reform. Senators expected to vote on the tax legislation within hours. Mike emanuel with our report. Good evening. It might be a late night on the senate floor, but the outcome is not in doubt after late night changes to the tax reform package. The one no we expect is from tennessees bob corker who says he has concern about the nations debt. They know i have fiscal concerns and im probably a dinosaur in that regard. Object ron johnson announced hes a question after changes to help small businesses. Another republican holdout announced hes a yes first thing this morning on fox. This a historic moment for our nation. Its been 31 years since we had come presensive tax reform and tax cuts. Reporter some changes to the senate bill to round up the senate votes allowing property Tax Deductions up to 10,000. Some of those changes were designed to win over maines senator susan collins. Overall its a good tax bill. There is always short comings in any piece of legislation. Most of people are going to benefit from it. Reporter thats after the plan mitt a snag it was announced some republicans were demanding an adjustment. The fact that we received the dynamic score a day before a final vote on the bill shows how fool shardy it is to wash a bill like this through. Foolhardy it is to rush a bill like this through. If republicans are serious about not undermining familys healthcare, there is an easy way to do that. Step back from the brink right now. Reporter the house is preparing to go to conference to iron out the differences. We are going to come back in monday because we believe the senate will get this done today. Reporter a senior trump official predicts the senate will wrap up in the next few hours. But timing on capitol hill is not always precise. Lou i think thats an under statement. A victory on tax reform would bring rewhref to million relief to millions of americans. But the leftwing media is hyper vernt lating over an issue of little consequence. Former National Security advisor Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying to the fbi. How big a deal is it . Catherine retired general and former National Security advisor mike flynn stood before a federal judge and pled guilty to lying to the fbi. There is broad exposure to other people within the Transition Team and possibly administration. Catherine flynn told the judge he willingly and knowingly waived his right to a trial and he will cooperate with Robert Muellers russia investigation. Newly unsealed Court Records show that he mislead the fbi about his contact with the Russian Ambassador sergey kislyak. It turns up the pressure on other individuals and causes people in the white house to wonder who is going to go next. All that is designed to get cooperation from people and for mueller to send a signal to the white house hes playing hardball. I have seen no evidence that shows any connection between Michael Flynn and russian collusion. Catherine flynn said what he did was wrong and through his faith he would set things right. He admitted the falsity of it, the materiality of it and the intents to deceive. Thats different from what director comey told us earlier this year. Catherine james Comey Told Congress in closed door testimony his agents concluded flynn had not deliberately misled them about the russia contact. En twitter comey posted a bible verse about justice. A source tells fox fuse hes in the middle of selling his house. Lou catherine, thank you very much. We are coming right back. A busy day. There is much more straight ahead. Stay with us. Special counsel Robert Muellers witch hunt snaring National Security advisor Michael Flynn who pled guilty to lying. But where is the collusion mueller is suppose to be investigating. And how long will he go on wasting millions of taxpayer dollars to tell us what we already know. Democratic congressman john conyers ignoring calls for him to step down. His Attorney Says his client will tef himself until as he put it the cows come home. Really . Well have much more on that straight ahead. Stay with us. Zar one of our investors was in his late 50s right in the heart of the financial crisis, and saw his portfolio drop by double digits. It really scared him out of the markets. His advisor ran the numbers and showed that he wouldnt be able to retire until he was 68. The client realized, i need to get back into the markets i need to get back on track with my plan. The Financial Advisor was able to work with this client. Hes now on track to retire when hes 65. Having someone coach you through it is really the value of a Financial Advisor. [lagale force winds,s absolute chaos out here accumulations up to 8 inches. Dont know if you can hear me, but [monica] whats he doing . [lance] can we get a shot of this cold front, right here. Winter has arrived. Whooo hahaha [vo] progress is an unstoppable force. Brace yourself for the season of audi sales event. Audi will cover your first months lease payment on select models during the season of audi sales event. Lou Judicial Watch released fbi document on that clandestine meeting between bill clinton and loretta lynch. 29 pages of emails previously withheld by the Justice Department. They detail a frenzy while hunt within the fbi look for a source who talked to a reporter about the controversial 2016 meeting. They were looking for the leaker. The messages show almost no concern over the actual meeting itself. Or what was discussed. Astonishing. Chris farrell from Judicial Watch, its good to see you. Lets start with this 29 pages. You win, you get the documents, and it turns out the fbi and Justice Department are concerned just about who leaked the meeting to local reporters and national newspapers, the new york observer. You couldnt make this up. Its so infuriating and disgusting. At first the fbi lied to us. They said they had no records. Then they sheepishly came around to admit their existence. Even not you redactions made hiding the names of people involved is cowardly and dishonest. Lou we are talking about the fbi here. Cowardly . Cowardly . And dishonest. Absolutely. Who are the people involved . Who made the decisions . What do they have to hide . These are United States government officials hiding their identities of who was involved in trying to track down the person who let the press know that the former president and the attorney general were an fbi official wrote, quote, we need to find that guy. The phoenix fbi office was contacted in an attempt to stem any further damage. This was appalling. You know you have got the attorney general of the United States and a former president lying when they say they were talking about grandchildren and golf. Its absolutely a talk about despicable, saying we have got to find that guy. What were they going to do when they found that guy . Lou you know what they are going to do. They are retaliating or intimidating. You are either on their team or you are not on the team. Lets turn today to the arrest of the plea of guilty on the part of the general Michael Flynn to a count of lying to the fbi, heaven forbid. But we dont know what he lied about specifically that is material that would result in his future of perhaps spending five years in prison. First off, Lieutenant General flynn made a grave error and it resulted in his firing. There is no new information here. Its sad. Hes a wonderful, honorable, granite tell jones officer. But he had an error in judgment. Misspoke. Got in trouble with the Vice President and put himself in a position where he leaves under a cloud. Thats unfortunate for a man who gave 5 years of his gave 35 years of his life to his country. But this is pretty thin gruel. False official statement. I have got news for you. If i interview you for more than two hours i can get you on this charge. You will make a false statement in the course of two hours, i guarantee you. This is the last if he fiewj of a failed investigation. Lou we need to put this into some context. Nieblcontext. Michael flynn was unmasked by the Obama Administration. He was an obama official until he was fired. Its dangerous to the public its an outrage this amount of money, time and evident is being spent to subvert this administration. Mueller is on a scalphunting investigation. This is exhibit 3 or 4 of that. If you want to look at a criminal. Look at sandy berger. He stole documents relating to 9 11 from the archives and destroyed them. Lou we have some clear criminal acts. We dont have to go any father than Hillary Clinton. Whether we are talking about an administration in this instance that waits until there is less than a month left in office before president obama decides to retaliate against the russians for their intervention in our elections, he does nothing about crimea. What would you call that . Its criminal negligence. Where are we going with this . And why isnt anyone talking about the context here and the actions of the administration with its unmasking of hundreds and hundreds of officials, american citizens, including members of the transition, the trump Transition Team. Why in the hell isnt anybody look at that . If somebody sat and read a Communications Intelligence transcript to the Washington Post concerning general flynn, the circle of knowledge on that level of information is so small as to be able its a handful of people. Lets finds that leak and put them in jail. Lou first so we know who lied. We know James Clapper lied. We know john brennan. The fbi and the head of the cia lied to congress and to the American People. Yet Michael Flynn is the fella who today had to plead guilty to one count. Chris, we always learn something talking with you and we appreciate you being here. Last word. I think people need to remember that comey the leaker betrayed his oath, sphoal government documents, leaked them through a third party to the new york times, and the dimwits on the House Intelligence Committee thanked him for his service. Lou it the dimwit republicans on that committee who have turned it over to the democrats. Senator richard burr should be given a special place of dishonor for what he is doing and has done to the American National interests. Thanks for being with us. Be sure to vote in our poll tonight. Do you believe there are protected groups and identities within our society who have protected rights that are far superior to those of mere american citizens. Cast your vote on lou dobbs.
