Immigrants whose legal stat is up in the air. What itll take to get a dreamer done. If youre thinking about popping the question this new years eve, our legal eagles have a warning, you simply will not want to miss, tonights edition of night court. The conservative Group Judicial watch calls for an urgent criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton and top advisors. After the group dot its hands on some of the 2,800 emails found late last near last year on the computer of anthony weiner. Fox news has examineled some of those emails after Judicial Watch sued, four are marked, yes, classified. Sharp debate over the significance of this finding, well debate it. What we are sure about it, is that this is putting the spotlight back on one james comey, former fbi director who reopened the clinton email probe dabs before the 2016 president ial election to xr extra what was on weiners laptop. A questionable move. Then within days, yet another questionable move from comey, the new review did not change his original judgment that clinton should not face charges over those emails. Our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case now we learn there were classified emails notgist on the clinton server but on the weiner laptop. Well speak with a top official at Judicial Watch and why they think this email dumpl merits urgent attention. Ellison barber, with documents, joins us live from the highlights. Good to see you, ed. As you said, we found four confidential or classified emails, out of nearly 3,000 documents, one thing thats important to point out is that they were officially marked as classified after the emails were sent. Many of the emails in this trove of documents were related to scheduling. Some talked about big names and sensitive political topics. One email in the trove of documents rewleesed friday afternoon dated sunday, september 30, 2012. Less than three weeks after the terror attack on the diplomatic anything in ben ghazi, libia. It discusses the general security information and request for security and how, quote, that was handled by state. Subsequent emails are redacted. Every document released today initially came to the state department, from the phish and their investigation into former congressman anthony weiner. Huma estranged husband. Theyre private emails seemingly formeded to a laptop showed by her and weiner n one classified email dated november 25, 2010, some one sent thensecretary of state Hillary Clinton advice on what to say in a call with saudi arabias foreign minister, how to address the release of documents in what was known as cable gate, wickie likes publishing sensitive cables of the document marked classified in august of 2015 and set to remain classified until november 2025. Judicial watch president tom fenton put out a statement on you tube. The fact that classified information from clinton and abadeen has been found on laptops showed the need for a criminal investigation, a serious one, guy the Justice Department. The fbi did look at these emails and former fbi director james comey answered questions about it during a may hearing on capitol hill. With respect to plz abideen we didnt have any indication she had a sense what she was doing was in vie lachgts law. The fbi sent a letter to congress, saying their investigation found that she often forwarded emails when she needed some one to print them out for her. They said most of the emails on the laptop were the result of a backup of personal electronic devicetion, they werent manually forwarded to this laptop. The fbi says their investigators found two classified email chains the were manually forded to the laptop. We reached out to her lawyers, havent heard back yet. Thanks, allison, happy new year. Judicial watch filed the suit against the state department for the emails, described in the release as major victory for them. Joining us is chris farrell, director of investigations and research from Judicial Watch. Why is this one different . This the 20th production, this is critical, it places classified information on the weiner laptop. Beyond any doubt, according to the state department themselves, proves that classified information was forwarded in an unlawful way. Direct violation of title 18 of the u. S. Code, mishandling National Defense information. I personally have investigated and prosecuted those cases as an Army Counter Intelligence special agent. People have been jailed for a fraction, a tiny fraction of what is now made public in documented through Judicial Watchs litigation. This cries out for legitimate investigation being done. Earlier clip with mr. Comey talking about intent, is a fraud, theres no requirement for proving intent under that citation i gave you a moment ago. The loss or the mishandling of the National Defense information, thats the crime. Want to follow up on that, sorry to interrupt, another comey clip there, where he said in testimony on the hill, abedin didnt have a sense she was violating the law. I never heard of such a thing. Irrelevant. No one, let me tell you, no one in the armed forces, intel jejs community or law enforcement, no one listening to this program who had a security clearance would buy that kind of phony excuse. Comey already manufactured his get out of jail free card for Hillary Clinton, months before she was even subject interviewed in july. Thats been documented as well. Frankly, these documents could form the foundation for an indictment of comey and stock, the investigator who was at the center of the entire night mayor of a security problem. Im glad you mentioned peter strock, the fbi agent who sent the text messages, pro trump pro clinton, antitrump, weve learned recently. He was in the middle of basically running this investigation and looking through that laptop, in fact. The fact that we didnt know that then, right before the election, is that grounds, now, for the Justice Department to say we need to reopen, there needs to be a criminal investigation . Absolutely. On the 2nd of july when mrs. Clinton was interviewed, she wasnt even mir ran died. You had federal agents who had reason to believe the person sitting in front of them had committed a crime. And through the lawyering of david kendall, what should have been a subject interview under oath of mrs. Clinton turned into a coffee and donut session. And when she sat there and said she could not remember more than 30 some odd times, doesnt pass the giggle test. No one in their right mind would believe that. Also, when some one says that, you pause the interview, you pull out a nondisclosure agreement, you have her review it and refresh her recollection. Thats going to explain how she doesnt remember being briefed on this. I have a minute left. For argument sake, say everything you laid out is 100 accurate, that there should be a criminal investigation, that there may have been serious wrongdoing here, that they got away with. What do you say to the viewer tonight watching this, saying, youre relitigating old stuff, Hillary Clinton lost the election, move on. It has nothing to do with the politics of losing an election. It has to do with violating National Security law and putting top see crept Sensitive Information at risk. Not just at risk, but likely compromised for foreign intelligence services. Not just the information itself, but the sources and methods of collection. This is the gravest National Security crime, one can commit. Its not an administrative oops. This is a crime that wor ders on treason. And its punishable at that level. Chris, important stakes, appreciate you coming in, happy new year. Thank you. Brad blankman, form air sis tampbt to george w. Bush, democratic strategist al meteorologister, from the u. S. Senate and noted Hillary Clinton supporter. I want to give you equal time, al. We heard from the conservative side of it. Hes saying, look, this was criminal and border line tree son. He can say that and he doesnt work at the fbi. Judicial watch has been trying to get to the bottom of this but the fbi already did. As we know how did they get to the bottom of it . Ill let you talk but were still seeing emails. One of them from abedin to clinton, subject libya, after benghazi. Not sure f p aware of our covert project. This is an email, not just on an unclassified server, but an email on an unclassified laptop of a guy whos about to go to jail. Im glad you ask. What happened, then, and hard to remember a year ago, but the fbi said oh my gosh we have to reopen this. We found that theres this information on the laptop. And they put it through computer processes, algorithms, and all of the emails here weve looked at them, theres nothing new. Were there classified documents, perhaps. The fbi in its considered juchlt and Justice Department de sided not on doning. Im surprised to hear it, but im glad Jeff Sessions is the head of the Justice Department and not chris farrell. Are you glad that Jeff Sessions is at the Justice Department . I am. And hears why. We dont have a creme national in charge have the investigation any more. He doesnt seem to be doing anything. We dont know whats going behind the scenes. May be good evidence to bring it back, before the fbi, and open this case. As long as the statute of limitations has not run we should. Its not her punishment, Hillary Clintons punishment was not losing the election f she broke the law and those who workled for her, she should face the consequences of that. And comey, in that clip you played, sounded more like her defense counsel an prosecutor. I want to get to comey. I want to go cuss on. Were not just saying Hillary Clinton this, huma abedin that. Chris farrell says maybe there ought to be a criminal investigation of james comby. A little i said in the open, october 28, 11 days before the election, james comey does something that really hurt Hillary Clinton politcally and says, we found emails that are possibly pertinent to her server probe. In fairsness to her, donald trump goes on the campaign trail and says this is corrupt ocean a scale weve never seen before. I looked at the time line, november 6, comey comes back out, right before the election, we looked at the laptop, its complete, that damaged Hillary Clinton. No question it damaged her. Peep km call it whining after the fact but the facts are clear in polling. The internal Campaign Following have polling was clear she dropped right when she started that and continued to drop until she came out again. It was, the notion that he was complicit in supporting her is preposterous. Brad Something Else that struck me, donald trump after comey said its all clear on november 6, about the laptop, which now sounds like maybe it wasnt all clear. Donald trump at rally in michigan, said, quote, its a rigged system. I ask that, we didnt know then but we know now, peter strock, other fbi officials, were running this investigation and they were pro clinton. Its a krument system. I think that theres Serious Problems within the supervisory level of the fbi. Weve seen it with tampering of the initial investigation. Where they claim that Hillary Clinton was not grossly neglect, she was merely careless. The standard they dumbed down in order to shield her from prosecution. We saw with it the supervisory agent as you pointed out before, texting the girlfriend, with derogatory statements about trump. This is not the way the fbi should run. And in america we shouldnt have to have a 501c3, a charity, doing investigative work for the american people. Our government has been hiding information from us, why, they dont want to us get to the root of the problem. Talk about the elephant in the room, theres a reason all these republicans are saying its a rigged system and the fbi is terrible. And corrupt. Why . Because whats gho egg on right now, mueller is investigating, theyre afraid of what may happen, the white house is putting out feelers in the media perhaps theyll go after flynns credibility, they dont want anything to hurt the president. The White House Legal Team denies theyll go after flynn. Donald trump did an interview with the New York Times, where i think mueller is going to do a fair job, brad. Muellers charge is supposedly collusion between the russiantion. So far, the prosecutions that hes rather theal low kugstion hes got and the indictments have nothing to do with russian collusion. This is personal behavior. Goes back to 2004. Right. Perjury to them personally. Mueller isnt investigating the things that should be investigated by the fbi. Thats these and the emails. And the democrats spreading this idea that the president is going to fire mueller. Im not going to say that, i have no indication. But i believe much of the discrediting of the fbi, we should be concerned, most fbi agents are patriotic americans. They r. And call the whole system rigged, to say its corrupt, does disservice to our country. Thats what the russians warrant us to talk about. Last question, does the fbi, did they do a thorough job when were still finding classified emails . These emails are no different than what they found, theyre public now. Thank you. The showdown coming early next year over the president s vow to build that wall. Democrats demanding legal status for the kids of illegal immigrants. The president says no, not unless he gets the wall. Who has the upper hand . A full debate ahead. They disliked the president so much, some liberals are turning on the New York Times. The New York Times, for being a little polite to the president. Later, where in the world did masked gunmen open fire on a church . The year. Trump took to twiltder to warn democrats about the agenda ahead laying down markers on Immigration Reform. Hint, it must include a crackdown on illegal immigration. Wlauren blanchard joins us to explain what that means. Back in september the president ended the daca program, telling congress they had until march to come up with a longterm collusion have solution. The president tweeting he told democrats for there to be a deal there had to be a border wall, an end to chain migration and end to the immigration lottery system. Demands republicans say should not come as a surprise. The president has been consistent about that. He and senator cotton and i have been saying that any stlugs for daca has to include an to end this archaic chain migration and money for Border Security at our wall on the southern bore they are. The only reason we wont get a deal is because people are so stubborn they cant get it. The aclu tweeting the president put young immigrants in peril and needs to fix the problem. Some wondered if democrats would try to use it as a bargaining chip during spending negotiations. Both sides said they want to protect the hundreds of thousands of dreamers in the u. S. But now were faced with another possible Government Shutdown on january 19. The president says hes trying to protect the country opponents say the commander in chief is playing with and hurting these young immigrants. Most americans agree we need Border Security. We also need most americans agree we need a compassionate approach to young people who came here, through no fault of their own, not of their own volition. Dollar bipartisan talks planned to try to negotiate a deal. On wednesday the president will be sitting down with his budget chief, legislative affairs director, and Congressional Party leaders. The white house says there will be another meeting between the president , mcconnell, and ryan at camp david next weekend. The president did try to hold a bipartisan meeting on immigration earlier this month, that morning he tweeted an immigration deal was unlikely and democrats backed out of the meeting. Well see if this meeting next week goes on as planned and if theyre able to come up with a deal. Thanks for this tonight, and all week, happy new year. Happy new year. Live reaction, from Texas Attorney general ken paxton, good evening, thanks for joining us. Happy new year, glad to be on. I wonder what you believe are the prospects for actually getting the deal that lauren laid out. The president seems, hes sticking to his guns and saying if you want a deal on daca you have to Start Building this wall. Look, i have been hopeful about this since he was elected, hes done more with Immigration Reform and Border Security than any president in my lifetime. This is something that can be worked out, given the democrats want daca reform and the president wants his wall. I dont see any reason we cant get a deal done. Democrats have been resisting his agenda from day one. Weve seen, in fact, one of the accomplishments that doesnt get a lot of aterngs that you know better than any of us do, along your southern border. The fact that a lot less people are getting across that border illegally, because of some of the measures the president has already taken. What kind of public case needs to be made by he and others to get a deal make sure the democrats dont have the upper hnld hand and you dont get the wall. Telling the truth, telling the truth about what texas has dealt with over the last five, six years with all kinds of crimes that have been committed. We have documented over 600,000 crimes committed by illegals, 1,200 homicides and hor richic crimes. We have the example of what happened in el paso, used to be one of the highest crime cities in our state. Because there was a barrier built, a fence, it now is one of the safest cities in america. Theres lots of data points that the president can point to, that would suggest this would be successful policy for our state and for our country. Another important part of this debate is change migration. We saw this terrorist in new york city killing and injuring people on the bike path not long ago, got into this country, brought others in as well. Kevin mccarthy, the House Majority leader was on fox with playing Mike Emmanuel last night. If we can fix chain migration, get the security along the border, i think we can come to Common Ground that everybody can agree upon and solve this problem. Im hopeful we can get it done this year. Is it reasonable to expect that were actually going to see progress not just on a daca wall deal, but finally doing something about chain migration as well . Again, just like mccarthy was suggesting, im hopeful as well. Its been too long since we had reform. Its also looking across america, congress, to get something done. Its time that that happens on immigration. And theres something for everyone, in this type of deal, as long as theyre willing to come to the table and talk. Mr. Attorney general, last question, what do you make about various governors across the country literally coasttocoast, democrats, jerry brown in california, andrew quomo in new york, pardonning illegal immigrants, convicted of felonies, all because they want to prevent the president from deporting these illegal immigrants. It makes literally no sense to me. We have the same thing, had the same thing in texas with sanctuary cities. I dont understand why any Government Official would spend taxpayer resources to harbor illegals who we know have committed crimes. The upside for citizens of this country is absolutely nothing. I dont think theres a good explanation as to why any Government Official would promote that. Ken paxton, attorney general of texas, thank you.

Its pretty sweet. They call it dog tag because of the id thas millry personnel wear. Your military personnel wear. I dmam as a Military Spouse and fiveyear veteran as well. This program really helped me develop skills, but also addressed it. Ca Santa Martinez graduated from the Work Study Program at dog tag. The cafe in the Nations Capital that is stirring up a lot more than just goodies. Vets stay this place is, yes, baking a difference in the lives of americas heros. Dog tag has been great in my transition from the military, portion of my life, to the transition back to civilian. From holistic approach, they provide alternatives to the traditional ptsd, theyve been pivotal in my growth as a military servicemen to businessman. About 30 of the employees are either veterans or have some affiliation with the military. Spouses, caregivers, or relatives of our bravest. My father served in the marine corps for 26 years, my sister for six. My mom served for all of it.

Veterans like peter scott say the hardest part of the time in the military was not serving in war. It was getting out and moving on. He came out of the army with post Traumatic Stress and after years of having everything planned out, was saidenly on his own. Its been about three, four years, kind of soul searching. Finding yourself . Finding myself. Start at the bottom. It takes time to build up that competency and build up the experience.

Late area school in oregon is considering getting rid of their mascot after almost 90 years. The reason, you wont believe this, it has to be gender neutral. The mascot. Wait, what . Details coming up. I think the idea of gender neutrality, of inclusiveness, is overdue. Interview with the New York Times yesterday. New york times readers are, quote, angry that there was no minimal pushback and a lot of criticism are coming from journalists that you cant credibly accuse of it not working. Seemed to be shared by media professionals on social media. Here to dig in on the president s fight with the press, White House Correspondent for the washington examiner, sara westwood. Nice to have you here. Gets interesting when critics on the left actually start attacking the New York Times. Right. Its amazing to watch reporters close ranks around each other when one of them makes a mistake that hurts President Trump. But then to go after one of their own, when they conduct an interview, that might actually help President Trump. They were angry about the president er mike schmidt with the help of chris rudde, member of one of the president s golf clubs, he gets an interview, Everyone Wants an interview with the president. The president made lot of news. North korea, strong words for china, talking about the economy, talking about robert mueller. And the argument was when they published the transcript in some cases the reporter seemed too nice to the president. I see what you mean. Then ask another question. This is a tactic reporters use to draw somebody out. Its not like he was agreeing with the president. Exactly, it comes from the mindset reporters have that any coverage of trump that isnt purely adversarial is carrying walter for him. We learned about what the president thinks of legislative process, what is on the docket for 2018 about north korea, about how he views his role in relation to the Justice Department. These are things we wouldnt have learned if the reporter had con fronted him at every twist and turn. Not like Michael Schmidt asked him what enchanted him about the first 1900 days. Remember that in the obama days . Yes, a lot of the coverage much president obama, certainly there was a lot of focus on obamas policy. Any coverage that focuses on policy with relation to the drump administration is considered weak or propaganda. Another outgrowth is some on the left believe the president s statements were too grandiose, leading thome a stark construction. Brian fallon earlier tonight, used to be a spokesman for Hillary Clinton, on cnn. Theyre dangerous, delusional statements that suggest he has a loose grip on reality. Donald trump it is fair to start asking questions whether the man is fit to hold the job. Hes questioning the president s Mental Fitness based on an interview with the New York Times. Im old enough to remember when it was ta gough to question the health of a politician, when Hillary Clinton was running for it. This is something the left has started to talk about. President trump is nothing if not consistent. He has been this bombastic since he entered the president ial race, since he won the g. O. P. Nomination, since he became president , he bz to celebrate his First Anniversary in office. Hes not going to change his attitude. As he celebrates that first year in office, think back to the campaign, many in the media said he had no chance to win that race. In the first early days of the administration. He has no chance for major legislative victories. He has had struggles, he still has special counsel investigation, thats a wildcard. But he ends the year with this dramatic legislative accomplishmented on tax cuts. Where do you assess his presidency and where does he go early next year with the state of the union opportunities . Obvious dli were, like you mentioned arc loot of road bumps during the first year of the presidency, debacle with healthcare over the summer, eroded confidence in republicans being able to do anything with their majorities. But necessity overcame with it the tax reform bill. That tax reform bill undercut the criticism of President Trump that he doesnt know how to govern, he did pass historic policy. In the state of the union, look for President Trump to lay out what his vision is for the next three years of his presidency now that hes notched one of the top goals, which is cutting corporate taxes. Next three years, he hopes its the next seven years. Sara westwood, appreciate you coming in. Thank you. School in oregon is considering a new mascot all in the name of gender incluesivity. South Eugene High School has been home to the axmen for 90 years.

Time for night court, if youre considering popping the question, this new years eef, pay close attention to tonights case. Florida Fashion Designer wyatt koch proposed to his girlfriend last spring, giving 8. 24 karat oscar hayman cushion cut ring. He purchaseled it for 180,000. In may he allegedly called off the engagement but kept the rock. Now koch is suing in Florida District Court to get the ring back. Koch asked for it back, claims it was received as a, quote, conditional gift. Kochs wlaur says the ring is valued at 250 now. And are speaking additional 15,000 in damages. Lets convene night court with our legal eagle, david comes from new york. And former prosecutor david dipietro, a florida trial attorney. Counselor dipietro, youre in florida. What does Florida State law say . Hell hadz no fury like a billionaire scorned. This billionaire has a great case. Florida law allows for conditional gifts for Engagement Rings. Its presumed under our law if you gave an Engagement Ring and the other person did not actually go through with the wedding and get married, you are entitled to that gift back. So i see this case as being a good case for him. But what was interesting, the very skimpy law supt that he filed. Not a lot of allegations. Its going to be interesting what her counter lawsuit might look like. Seems theres more to 24 story an 250,000 claim on a ring. Were going to be seeing more. Our viewers seeing pictures of mr. Koch, directions very colorful clothes. Mr. Bruno, counselor bruno, do you see case for the lady here . Well, not specifically on this case. Im surprised, too, ill get to the defenses for the female. But im surprised that he filed this lawsuit. Because with all of the money going after 250,000, opening yourself up to depositions and interrogatories about the marriage, is question an and risky. As far as the woman, i mean, what could be argued is the fact this is a gift and not conditional. I dont think itll work in florida. But throughout the states of the united states, it really depends. Because states are split on this particular point. If its a gift, like any other gift, christmas gift, a birthday gift, once you receive a gift its yours. It cant be taken back. You raise something interesting. A colleague said before the show and counselor dipietro, i wonder if i can run it past you . People have advised by colleague who shall go unnamed that you should not propose in florida or anywhere else on a holiday, like birthday, or christmas, because then its more likely to be deemed a gift and not just about the potential marriage. True . Not true, actually, florida, i look took a look at the case law, florida is pretty clear Engagement Rings are presumed to be conditional gift. And theyre like the one minor exception. Any other gift throughout the relationship is presumed to be a gift. Birthday gifts, cars, clothes other jewelry. What if you propose on that day, if its your birthday and you propose on the day, its special for her, her birthday, does it make it more likely then its locked down that its a gift, nothing to do with the wedding . I think the Engagement Ring exception is a good one. If you look at his lawsuit, he bought other jewelry and hes not suing for that, probably because his lawyers told him that that kind of gift is not going to be recoverable. But Engagement Ring is a solid claim under florida law. I just think when a billionaire thats related to part of the koch family fights ore a ring theres more to the story.
