Overabundance. They want to automate everything, including the way you think. Dont let them. Have a great evening in spite of all that. Sean hannity is up next. We will turn it over to him a few seconds earlier. Sean great show. Busy breaking news night. Its all over the place tonight. For well over a year, he has targeted President Trump and everyone around him. Just look at Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen. Anything to do with russia . After 460 days, mueller has found literally zero evidence of trumprussia collusion. Zero. The president is rightly calling out its been nice to atone for what it is. This is now a national disgrace. In moments, well have an important on two individuals that are caught up in a Special Counsels fishing expedition. Paul manafort, now being tried on an old Bank Fraud Charge and a Trump Campaign volunteer, George Papadopoulos, who pled guilty to lying to the fbi. His wife is here with us tonight and she thinks he should withdraw that plea, and he might. Also tonight, we will expose the medias false moral outrage over Security Clearances. It has nothing to do with free speech. And the president s decision, which was right, to strip john brennan of his topsecret access. Hes now threatening to sue the administration. A move i hope he takes. In fact, take it. Take the legal action. I cant wait for that discovery, unless of course he used bleach bit and a hammer. More on that coming up. All the latest examples of what the the lefts disgusting rhetoric. Forget about they go low, we go high. Its just the opposite. Sit tight, buckle up. Its time for tonights breaking news opening monologue. Sean Joseph Stalins secret police chief once famously proclaimed show me the man, i will show you the crime. Those are chilling words and the opposite of how the american Justice System is supposed to operate. Our system is designed to prosecute crimes, not persecute individuals we disagree with. We live in a constitutional republic. We are supposed to have equal justice under the law and the equal application of our laws. Tonight in the United States this is all in jeopardy. After more than 15 months of intensive investigations surrounding one man, the president of the United States, more and more americans rightly are realizing that muellers seemingly never ending witch hunt is not only damaging the country, but it is rocking our system of justice to its very core. And following the new york timess socalled Bombshell Report that the white house attorney, the president s attorney, white House Counsel don mcghan is cooperating, the president tweeted this Disgrace Discredited Bob Mueller and as whole group of angry democratic thugs spent over 30 hours with the white House Counsel, only with my approval, for the purposes of transparency. Anybody needing that much time when they know there is no
Commentary, newsmaker interviews and panel discussions. Violation of that policy. Its not in question. He actually accused of sitting president of treason and worse. Hes used his status to legitimize what are absurd conspiracy claims about donald trump on national tv. Even fellow trumphater james clapper, even too much for him. He questioned the level of his daily vitriol. Take a look. Do you think that John Brennans hyperbole is an issue here, one of the reasons we are having this crisis . I think it is. I think john is sort of like a Freight Train and hes going to say whats on his mind. I think that the common denominator among all of us that have been speaking out is genuine concern about the jeopardy or threats to our institutions and values. And although we may express that in different ways. I think thats what this really
employee. Hes now threatening to sue the trump administration. This i beg happens. Sue. Please. Take a look. I have been contacted by a number of lawyers and have already given me their thoughts about the basis for a complaint, an injunction, to try to prevent him from doing this in the future. If my clearances and my reputation as im being pulled through the mud now, if thats the price we are going to pay to prevent donald trump from doing this against other people, to me its a small price to pay. So im going to do whatever i can personally to try to prevent these abuses in the future. And if it means going to court, i will do that. Sean go. I would love to see that discovery unless he uses bleach bit and hammers. Give us the perfect opportunity to see Whats Going On inside all of this. By the way, in terms of corruption and by the way, malignant efforts to literally
impact a president ial election, lets get it all exposed. The people need to know. Today President Trump mocked his hollow threats. He tweeted i hope john brennan, the worst cia director in our countrys history, will bring a lawsuit. It will be very easy to get all of his records, text, emails and documents to show not only the poor job he did, but how he was involved with the mueller rigged witch hunt. He wont sue. I dont think you will either. Whether or not he actually does, hes just one of many former ranking Government Officials who leverage their special Security Status for financial gain. In fact, it pays to have a Security Clearance. Upon leaving office what we have discovered on this show and is actually a new book out, we will break it all tomorrow. Many highranking officials use their special status to gain lucrative offers from Government Contractors and others seeking their expertise. Meanwhile over at fake news cnn, proud [bleep] holder himself
phil mud is profiting off his Security Clearance. Hes paid at cnn, a complete meltdown when he was challenged over what is a lucrative practice among many that have top Security Clearances, not saying him, millions of dollars. Take a look. When i am requested to sit on an advisory board, let me ask you one question, how much do you think im paid to do that at the request of the u. S. Government . Give me one answer and youve got ten seconds. How much . I will ask you a question. How much are you paid answer the question i have no contracts with the u. S. Government that pay money. When you have a Security Clearance zero relationships with the private sector that involve my Security Clearance, zero i get 0 from Consulting Companies that deal with u. S. Government. Are we clear . I will be clear in saying that everybody in washington, d. C. , knows if you dont want to be honest about it, thats on you, but if you have a Security Clearance and you keep it you get more money
to have it. We are done, get out phil, this is not your show. [bleep] get out ten seconds, get out sean jim comey. We will talk about him tomorrow. What if i told you that there are people who have Security Clearances and got paid by lockheed martin, 6 million, just pulling that out of thin air. We will have a full report tomorrow. We are not saying phil mudd is involved in this in any way. We are not even saying its nefarious but we are seeing people with Security Clearances, there is a money trail. And by the way, tomorrow night we will have a full investigation, a hannity investigation investigating the investigators, follow the money. Hannity investigation. Back in 2013 Mainstream Media was largely silent when the Obama Administration did the whole same thing on a much larger scale. A blatant media double standard. But as we get closer and closer to the most important midterm elections of our life, youve got to expect this coverage is going to get more insane day by day, minutebyminute. For example, conspiracy tv msnbc, one panelist even suggested the president wanted to round up people and murder them. Conspiracy. Take a look. Your argument that hes not the leader of the free world because not standing up for democracy hes a Sort Of Junior Player in a block of authoritarian countries. And the people like the European Union are no longer looking at him as a leader any longer. Of course not. Hes instead hes part of a block that includes vladimir putin, duterte. Hes kind of a part of an axis of power. Its worse than that in a certain way. Not that thats the worst thing you could have said, thats about the worst thing you could say about him. Hes not rounding people up and murdering them without any due process. He would certainly like to. Sean he would like to. And it goes on and on. If a conservative said that
about obama, here come the boycotters. Here they come. Meanwhile professional trump hater and an old friend, actually like steve, is Trashing Trump supporters, kind of does it every day now. Take a look. His base is smaller, the Republican Party is smaller, but it is more faithful and more intense in its loyalty to trump and 40 of the country has surrendered their intellectual sovereignty to donald trump. There is for them no such thing as objective truth anymore. What is true is what the leader says is true. What the leader believes is true. And trump has exercised that power and 40 of the country have submitted themselves to it. Sean a little overthetop. The rhetoric is even worse in the Democratic Party. One congressman, old friend of the show, socalled joking about what . Drowning President Trump in the potomac. If you dont want this man and the Democratic Party taking control of your congress, blocking the present, you
voted for his agenda and putting an end to the allimportant deep state investigations, you want open borders, obamacare, you want to give them your crumbs back and everything in between, then Dont Go Out And Vote in november in the midterms, dont take it seriously. Its not like our Democratic Republic is hanging in the balance or anything. Breaking just moments ago during an interview with reuters, the president said he is concerned that an interview with a Special Counsel could actually be a perjury trap. I could not agree more. They are going to say you disagree with your lawyer . What rudy was saying yesterday, i think he could have been a little bit more articulate when he said the truth is not the truth, lets say mcghan says one thing, the president says another thing, guess who decides which version they want to believe . That would be mueller and weissmann. Jeannie rhee and the rest of them. Not a good idea. Joining is now Fox News Contributor sara carter. We have her breaking story, the author of three weeks in a row the number one new york times
best seller the russian hoax the illicit clear Hillary Clinton fox news legal analyst Gregg Jarrett, the president should not talk to them. Weve said this over and over again. I dont think any lawyer should allow it and the idea that don mcghan spent 30 hours there, 30 hours, is incomprehensible to me, but it does serve, we do know what the president said and thats it. Anything else will be a perjury trap. Thats right. Just look how mike flynn was treated by bob mueller. Hes a guy who told the truth according to the fbi agents who interviewed him. Sean slow down, wait a minute, Lieutenant General flynn, great point, tells the truth, believed to be the truth by even peter struck an james comey and he got charged with and admitted to lying to the fbi. It shows you how unscrupulous and how unprincipled bob mueller and his team of partisans are. I bet that papadopoulos probably told the truth to the best of his knowledge. He was a bit player. Sean probably scared. Probably scared. Sean he was young. He was 30 years old at the time. Probably went in there without a lawyer. Its never a good idea to lie to the fbi. But papadopoulos is an interesting character. I spend a subchapter in the book about him. It was never the papadopoulos bar talk that triggered the trumprussia collusion hoax. Sean it says on page what . I will give you the page. It was a rumor that he heard that he passed along. Sean the media lied about that. That wasnt the trigger because that couldnt possibly be probable cause to launch an investigation. It was the dossier that john brennan was the instigator of. He latched onto it and he peddled it on capitol hill and leaked into the media. Sean last question and i
will get to saras column on that very topic. Would Paul Manafort be investigated but for the fact that he worked for trump . Would Michael Cohen have had to go through all they are talking about his taxicabs medallions in new york, its a long story. They are not talk about anything about collusion, russia, the campaign or trump. Thats right. Sean are they being persecuted or prosecuted . They are being persecuted, no doubt about it. Sean singled out. The tax division actually investigated for years Paul Manafort and they came to the conclusion that there wasnt sufficient evidence to bring charges. Sean three days in, 18 charges, 95 Conviction Rate in federal courts. If he gets off he will be the 5 . But good luck with unlimited resources and the power of the federal government. Sean his life is over. Sara, lets go very keenly to this whole issue and this gets to the heart of brennan and
you actually spoke to his former spokesperson. Lets talk about what you found as it relates to harry reid leaking the dossier. So brennans former Spokesperson Deputy Chief Of Staff nick shapiro told me that brennan in no way at any point in time during the summer of 2016 had access to the dossier. And he said that he didnt find out about the dossier. Actually the contents of the dossier until december 2016. Sean is he lying . According to a number of people that ive spoken with theres a lot of concern about what brennan is saying because they know for a fact that director comey was already aware that reid was going to be sending a letter. Brennan meets with reid and the gang of eight briefings on august 25th. Two days later, he writes the letter. Two days after that, on august 29th, its leaked to the new york times. So theres a coincidence here. A sequence of events that happened that they need to investigate. Sean my little birdie friends i know im only a Talk Show Host and we dont do
investigative reporting, although weve beaten everybody as it relates to the story that was by the way targeted at people who know who they are. I just want to say isnt there an email chain that might prove this point . Theres actually a sequence of emails that people want to obtain and this is why congress this is why Judicial Watch and others are suing for brennans communications as well as comeys and reids. Sean the fact he did do this and hes lying about that stuff . Is that what your birdies are telling you because thats what my little birdies are telling me. There are birdies out there that do believe that but i think we need to see those facts before we go that far. But i do believe thats why they are looking for him. Sean last word. Brennan actually testified before congress and in the summer of 2016, he knew about alleged trumprussia collusion so his lawyers recently belied
the truth. Sean great work the last three weeks, great reporting, sara. A lot of news to get to tonight. When we come back, George Papadopoulos wife about major new developments concerning her husband. Will he back out of the deal with mueller . We will get reaction also, jim jordan, where are those Subpoena Documents . Next. Looks great, honey. Right . Sometimes you need an expert. I got it. And sometimes those experts need experts. On it.

Sean sean welcome back to hannity. The Special Counsel has recommended up to six months in jail for former Trump Campaign aide George Papadopoulos. Following this news, George Papadopoulos wife sent out George Wasnt Cooperative enough in muellers reco
