FBC Lou Dobbs Tonight February 24, 2016

Hes looking for third win in a row, and earlier today a wary trump told supporters in sparks, nevada, to watch out for dirty tricks. Watch out for dishonest stuff. I tell you what, a lot of dishonesty. Be careful. They have paper ballots, the whole deal going. Paper ballots, right . Just watch out. If you see anything, let us know about it. We have a lot of people watching because whats going on and what on is quite terrible. Lou well take up trumps hardcharging antiestablishment campaign with one of his most important and enthusiastic supporters, South Carolinas Lieutenant Governor Henry Mcmaster. He turned out to have more endorsement power than governor nikki haley and congressman trey gowdy combined. A federal judge ordered top Hillary Clinton staff and state Department Officials to be interrogated under oath about their motivation in setting up and using the clinton private email server system, which brought the lawsuit seeking information about huma abedin and her employment terms. Ill be talking with the head of Judicial Watch tom fitton who calls the judges ruling a major victory toward learning the truth about the clinton scandal just last week he gave us this assessment. My question is not when, why she hasnt been indicted yet, and this is kind of the sword of damocles hanging over the president ial contest, and Neither Party is talking about it with the appropriate seriousness it demands. Microsofts bill gates breaking ranks with Silicon Valley saying apple should help the fbi unlock an iphone, gates declared this is primarily an issue of what the government needs to know. Ill have the latest on apple fight tonight. Our top story donald trump poised to continue his winning streak tonight in nevada. Senators rubio and cruz, however, doing everything they can to assure that doesnt happen. The war of words getting uglier. Fox news chief Political Correspondent carl cameron is in las vegas and has our report. Reporter hoping to rack up his third win in a row, donald trump rallied nevada troops and attacked ted cruz. He is like a little baby. Soft, weak, little baby, by comparison, for lying, hes the best ive seen. Reporter trump was live in las vegas and trashed cruz as well. Evangelicals didnt vote for him. They dont like liars. This guy is sick, they dont like this guy. Reporter team cruz has urged supporters to use phones to video tonights caucuses. Calling it, quote, election shenanigans and concerning because of intimidating effects on voters. Marco rubio is second and racking up National Endorsements since jeb bush quit. Before heading to nevada and minnesota rubio warned frustration is dangerous. Frustvation not a plan, being angry is not a plan. This election cannot be about making a point, electing the loudest person in the room, that will not solve the problem. Reporter rubio is blasting trump and cruz who fired Communications Director for dirty tricks and ramped up rhetoric about consistent conservatism. I dont care what position donald decides to support today or tomorrow or the next day, they change every day. I dont care what they are. But pick one and defend it and dont pretend when people point out what you said, nope, never mind. Reporter on the Oreilly Factor last night, cruz who in the past downplayed mass deportations took a tougher stand. Federal law requires anyone illegally apprehended should be deported. Mr. Trump would look for them to get them out. Would you do that if you were president . Look, bill, of course you would, thats what i. C. E. Exists for. Reporter cruz aides say tough position on immigration hasnt changed and rubios past support for amnesty has him at odds with the president of the immigrations and Customs Enforcement council. Rubios dismissed him as union boss with ideological axe to grind, john kasich continues to focus on super tuesday a week from now. Dr. Ben carson struggling in the polls and attention. Today suggested barack obama grew up in White America and did not have a typical black experience because he was raised by white grandmother and mother. Doesnt mean theres anything wrong with that, just when the claim is made that he represents the black experience, its not true. Reporter nevadas caucuses start to wrap up 9 00 local time, thats midnight eastern time. It will take a couple of hours to tally results, assuming there will be no glitches, otherwise it could be until tomorrow. Lou. Lou carl cameron. The next democratic primary is saturday in South Carolina where Hillary Clinton has an average 24point lead over senator bernie sanders. Sanders hopes to cut into that support among black voters with the endorsement of director spike lee. Lee featured in this radio ad now running in South Carolina. Im officially endorsing my brother bernie sanders. Bernie takes no money from corporations, naueda. Hes not on the take. When bernie gets in the white house, he will do the right thing. How can we be sure . Bernie was at the march on washington for dr. King. Lou lee referring to this picture, this is a picture of young bernie sanders, being arrested by Chicago Police during a civil rights rally in 1963. It was recently dug up by the chicago tribune. Spanish and Moroccan Police arrested a former Guantanamo Bay detainee and three others on suspicion of recruiting fighters for the islamic state. His arrest comes on the same day that president obama announced hes making a final effort to shut down Guantanamo Bay prison in cuba. President obama sent congress a plan calling for transfer of the remaining 91 detainees to a facility in this country. The plan does not specify where that might be. Republicans finding a backbone, all 11 republicans on the Senate Judiciary committee today said there will be no hearing for Justice Scalias replacement while president obama remains in office. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell making it clear in no Uncertain Terms earlier today. President s have a right to nominate as a senate has a constitutional right to provide or withhold consent. In this case, the senate will withhold it. The senate will appropriately revisit the matter after the American People finish making, in november, the decision theyve already started making today. Lou mcconnells statement prompted criticism from democrats arguing the Gopled Senate is failing to do its job and believe the obstruction to be unprecedented, but actually it isnt. Back in 1992, Vice President joe biden, then himself a senator, argued against weighing a Supreme Court nomination during a president ial election year. Microsoft founder bill gates throwing support behind the fbi in their battle with apple over hacking into the locked iphone used by one of the San Bernardino terrorists. Gates is the only silicon tech giant to seemingly bactfederal government. Heres what gates had to say about the controversy earlier today. I do believe that with the right safeguards, that are cases that the government, on our behalf, like stopping terrorism, which could get worse in the future that, that is valuable. Lou apple ceo tim cook has argued that creating software to open that phone could threaten the security of millions of apple users. Google, facebook, twitter, their ceos have publicly backed cooks decision. Were coming right back with much more. Stay with us. A federal judge has ordered Hillary Clintons longtime aides and state Department Officials to be questioned by the fbi under oath. We take it up with the president of Judicial Watch.

Lou a federal judge today ruled that Hillary Clintons aides, state Department Officials, should be questioned and questioned under oath, about the former secretary of states use of private email server. Judge Emmitt Sullivan also suggesting he might order clinton herself and top aide huma abedin to return all records related to clintons private emails, not those deemed work related. The order comes as the fbi continues its investigation into clintons email server. More than 1700 classified emails have been found on the server, including 22 emails considered top secret. My first guest tonight brought the lawsuit that resulted in todays order by the federal judge. Im joined by the president of Judicial Watch, tom fitton. Tom, congratulations. This is an extraordinary, seems to me, development in that a judge is ordering under a foya request that there be interrogation, deposition under oath of officials of the government as well as campaign officials. Its extraordinary, is it not . It is, its rarely granted and freedom of information act lawsuits like the one my colleague filed for Judicial Watch. Deserve a great deal of credit for getting this result. We had investigators asking all the right questions as well. Its a team effort and the court recognized our team asked questions about huma abedin special Government Employee status uncovered this issue because we shut down the lawsuit thinking theyd looked for Hillary Clintons imails and looked through them. They hadnt. We had to reopen the case. Lou over what period were those emails that were being sought . They would have been the emails from the period mrs. Clinton was in office and abedin was working for her at the time. They told us they looked at mrs. Clintons records in the executive secretarys office. We didnt know there was a separate email system. The court authorized discovery. Why was the system set up, to thwart freedom of information act requests . Who knew about it . The court asked the Justice Department today at the hearing, who authorized this . And the Justice Department said they didnt know. Its almost a year since the revelations and dont have the basic info, and we may get it now thanks to the discovery order. Lou and thanks to a judge who is obviously concientious and concerned about law in this case and not politics. The fact of the matter is you brought the case almost three years ago, its taken this long to get to result. This is moving awfully slowly, and we know theres been an fbi investigation under way since last august, and what we infer is they havent done anything about these emails and havent talked or to these officials of either the state department, that was the last word we had from the state department, nor the top officials of the Clinton Campaign who presumably would have been using, or known about, the private email server. You know, the court made the point today theres an office of Inspector General investigation by the state department, the fbi may or may not be doing a substantial investigation, but the public doesnt necessarily know what theyre doing or getting information about the key issues. So thats why this right to know case is a perfect vehicle for getting the information that is now before the court, and asking the courts questions about whether the search for records has been adequate, and these are not mrs. Clinton records. These are our records, the taxpayer records that should have been searched and produced to Judicial Watch and other requesters and all of the requests were thwarted by what she was doing with the separate email system. Think of the outrageous expense by the court. This is what the court said. The expenses by the court, by the government, by groups like Judicial Watch, it is something mrs. Clinton set up. As a taxpayer, spend the money. The public right to know takes precedence here, we are being treated as if this is an elite branch of monarchy that is too royal for us to even be remotely worthy of them. I mean, this is gutwrenching to watch this kind of nonsense go on in an american government. We are way over time. Let me ask you this, tom. Why is it necessary for you to bring a lawsuit . Why dont we have an Inspector General who is working here to drive toward the truth and to secure the records of that period in office . Why isnt the fbi moving quickly here . Why is there a slowdown at work, it seems from all corners of government in this case . Really is outrageous, happy to do all this hard work that the government ought to be doing. Isnt it outrageous that its Judicial Watch, and not congress and not the official investigative arms of the executive branch. The state department isnt owning up. The fbi and the Justice Department. The Justice Department is opposing us every step of the way and defending mrs. Clintons conduct here. You know, it shows that the rule of law in this town is not present in large respect, but thankfully present when the independent groups like Judicial Watch are going to the federal courts because those enforcing the rule arent doing, it and the official government offices. Tom, again, congratulations, our thanks, appreciate it as always. Thank you. Lou tom fitton, Judicial Watch. Thank you. Lou thank you, tom.

Breaking news now, the centers for Disease Control investigating 14 new reports of sexually transmitted zika cases in the country. Several involve pregnant women. Officials say in each suspected case, women were infected by men who recently returned from countries where zika had an outbreak. This new development could further complicate cdc efforts to try to stop the spread of zika. Now, lets take a look at another video, if you would, please. Amazing rescue of a dog whose leash got caught in an elevator door as the elevator itself was moving. The dog is violently yanked, as you see there, its extraordinary. As its owner moved to a higher floor. A Maintenance Worker got there, he ran there and saved the dogs life. Owner didnt realize the dog wasnt in the elevator with her and were told hes in okay condition. Up next, a few thoughts about the republican establishment, efforts to take down trump, cruz, whomever, and trump supporters, South Carolinas Lieutenant Governor Henry Mcmaster will join me on his thoughts about an establishment that isnt exactly, well, enthusiastic about mr. Trump. Well introduce you to the daredevil using a citys roof tops as his own personal gym. That video is coming up next. You dont want to miss it. When cigarette cravings hit, all i can think about is getting relief. Only nicorette mini has a patented fastdissolving formula. It starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. I never know when ill need relief. Thats why i only choose nicorette mini. I thodid the ancestrydna toian. Find out im only 16 italian. So i went onto ancestry, soon learned that one of our ancestors was eastern european. This is my ancestor who i didnt know about. Lou a few thoughts now on an establishment that seems completely out of touch with mainstream, middleclass america, and as bereft of clever and bright ideas as anyone imagined or feared. Just look at the gops choice of president ial candidates back to john mccain in 2008 or mitt romney in 2012, and jeb bush this year. The big boys still think a pile of money and hands on the levers of power mean they dont have to think, that they dont have to be smart or shrewd. That as long as theyve got theirs, the hell with those who dont. When their favorite candidate quit the race saturday night, the smart money turned to marco rubio, throwing their money at him and all but screaming we just sold a bush and bought a rubio. Today rubio told reporters he hasnt spoken with but plans to meet with former mentor governor bush soon, adding solemnly hes not asked for his endorsement. Let me let you in on a secr
