Supreme merry christmas. David thank you very much. Melissa loretta lynn speaking to the house to do judiciary committee. Are republicans looking to compete their work as democrats for her to take the House Majority next month. Top democrats have vowed to shut these investigations down. A big focus of todays questioning is expected to be Loretta Lynchs infamous tarmac meeting with former president bill clinton. That meeting went down 90 Phoenix Airport in 2016, in the midst of the dojs Hillary Clinton email investigation. Just two days ago, former fbi director james comey testified. He also served during the obama administration, and thenattorney general lori lynch was his boss. He has called that tarmac meaning inappropriate. He repeated that to lawmakers. Peter doocys lab on capitol hill with latus. Peter . Loretta lynch did not stop on her way to talk in here. We cant go in there. They come out to take short breaks. I dont want to talk right over this gaggle down there. For lawmakers that come out of the hearing, we are told that lynch is being forthcoming with lawmakers have questions about why the obama doj investigated the Term Campaign and not the clinton campaign. I have now attended 17 or 18 interviews with the same questions over and over again. The interesting aspect of this is that Loretta Lynch is willing to answer all the questions. She hasnt been interrupted even wants by the attorneys. There are a lot of attorneys in there. I think its been a Free Exchange of questions and answers. Republicans have hinted that they got detailed questions about the infamous tarmac meeting where lynch and bill clinton huddled in the cabin of a private jet in arizona while her Justice Department weighed charges against his wife, candidate clinton. Lynch insisted it was just too hot to talk outside. But they got to chat about the topics of grand children in the news of the two. That day, it was brexit. They are curious why former fbi officials peter strzok and lisa page would text that they knew lynch would go easy on Hillary Clinton. This is from the first batch of comeys testimony two weeks ago. John ratcliffe, the republican, said the day before the interview come on july 1st, lisa page texted peter strzok about Loretta Lynch and about her decision to follow your recommendation. And said yeah, its a real profile encouraged that she knows no charges will be brought. Do you recall reading the text to hearing about it . And comey said i dont remember. I read it. We dont know how much longer these always will stay quiet, but it may be a while. Lawmakers had more than 30 hours worth of questions for comey earlier this week. Melissa . Melissa peter doocy, thank you so much. Bring it out to the couch, david, what you think of the value as of going over this territory again . David in light of going over the deal with general flynn, the way he was treated as opposed to the way Hillary Clinton was treated, and kind of a similar circumstance in many ways, its worthwhile. I think its clear that, while Hillary Clinton was given all kinds of leeway and perhaps even some, dare we say it, obstruction of justice there are suspicions of obstruction of justice from her husband, the former president , to Loretta Lynch. I think its worthwhile raising all this. Frankly, its not going to be raised after january 2nd when the new Congress Comes into power. So this is kind of the last. By the way, i have to give her credit. Harris has brought up a terrific point. If they were just talking about grandchildren, i hope you dont mind me using your point if they were just talking about grandchildren, why couldnt they have done on the phone . Why did they have to meet at a tarmac in the middle of nowhere . Its kind of weird. Harris my point has a do with what taxpayers would want done on the persons time for whom we are paying. It was just it was really just an observation. David is a good one. Harris are they having conversations that come as taxpayers, we would understand why they would need to get together . Later on, in the midst of his wife being under investigation, so on and so forth. Melissa what to be possibly learned that his new . Everybody so dug into their position and what they think about everything that went on. I dont know that its worthwhile to spend time dragging someone back, going over this. Katie we have heard, Loretta Lynch wants i believe in front of congressional testimony. In terms of how this will get results, i am cynical that this will get anywhere. Republicans are out of power in the house, democrats are to give her the committees and have made it very clear that they are shutting down all of the investigations into doj misconduct, into fbi misconduct. I would hope that a hearing like this with questions and answers from alert and lynch im glad to hear shes being forthcoming, unlike james comey who said he couldnt recall 300 plus times. And his lawyers continue to interrupt him. I hope the end game here would be to treat everybody equally under the law, regardless of whether you are a clinton or a trump. For chile, i think the sand has run out of the hourglass when it comes to what republicans can do. I wish they could do a second hearing with her sooner. Melissa kennedy, to address that point do you think people are treated differently under the law by the doj and the fbi . Does this get us closer drug to find that . Kennedy i dont know that it gets us closer to rectifying anything. I dont think we have seen proof other than mccabe and comey and strzok and page having been removed from duty of the of pride. That things havent really changed. I dont know how Christopher Wray demonstrates that. What i will say is that comey and lynch seem to turn on each of them. If you remember, james comey said in his public testimony that he know stuff about Loretta Lorentz that he cant disclose for a few years. He says he has something overhead. He also characterized their discussions in a way that cast her into. Negative light. Maybe this is a chance for her to defend herself and set the record straight. Part of the issue with that tarmac meeting is that people didnt trust hiller glinted to begin with. They thought she was shady and making deals in opacity, that benefited only herself. If you remember, Loretta Lynch didnt disclose that meeting on the tarmac. Melissa she got caught. The kennedy it was a local reporter in arizona that did soe footwork and recognized the tail number on the plane. She said, jokingly at one point, man, i wish there was a lock on the inside and i hadnt let the president in. If they were talking about innocuous things harris that has its own visual. [laughter] kennedy why would she express that kind of regret . James comey is very dismissive with the questioning he has gotten from these committees. But i have to say, these are still various serious issues. If the formal attorney general is taking them seriously at acknowledging that, i think thats a benefit for the country to get some of that on the record. Harris since there are only, to our knowledge, since she didnt have a lock on the door Loretta Lynch since there were only two people having the conversation, are we also going to hear from bill clinton . I mean, if you want as journalists, we know that if you want the whole story you have to talk with everybody. I do have to just listen. Right . Are they going to have bill clinton on and let him talk about this, too . I dont know. David or president obama. Harris but he wasnt on the plane. David remember, he said the Hillary Clinton did not divulge any secrets. Anything he said it several times come as a matter fact. The point is, how would he know that if he wasnt getting information that he wasnt supposed to get with regard to all this . Harris i dont want hearsay from the former president. I wanted from the two people who were in the room. Or the plane. Katie the reason hes taken Loretta Lynch back into the public well, not public but back at the congress to testify this is because of the timing of the issue, and the way the situation was handled. Just a week after they had this meeting, there was a huge conflict of interest with Hillary Clinton under criminal investigation during an election. Fbi agents not questioning her, and sing we are going to exonerate you before we even interview. And the inner circle. And bill clinton walking onto this airplane and having this meeting. There were huge questions about whether she should recuse herself. She did not officially recuse himself. Yet, there was all this outrage over Jeff Sessions and rod rosenstein, and now matthew whitaker. Democrats demanding that he recuse himself from that situation. Yet, we had this massive conflict at that point in time. Kennedy i want to add something onto that. I think its really part. She said she wouldnt recuse yourself, i didnt do anything inappropriate. Im going to accept whatever recognition the fbi makes. When james comeys recommendation was no charges, which isnt the responsibility of a Law Enforcement organization when a Police Officer arrests you, they dont go before a judge and say what the punishment should be. They dont list what the crimes are. A prosecutor does that. Lessor at a lynchs job. She advocated that and give it to comey. He gave her a cover, which is really weird. Hes the one who said i dont recommend charges. And she said case close excellent melissa whether it is james comey addressing the cameras come everybody comes to the same conclusion although they blame different actors. They said that trust in the doj and the fbi has been totally eroded. Comey blames the president , other people blame him and Loretta Lynch. But nobody has a solution to how it is restored, david. How does it get restored . David one thing you have to do is expose it to sunlight. Thats why we are exposing all of these issues that have been covered from sunlight. Once you investigate closely, you find that mr. Mccabe did things wrong. That peter strzok did things wrong. And they end up leaving the agencys. You rid of the bad actors. Comey said the other day im proud of what the fbi did under my leadership. But he see of what mr. Mccabe did . Is a part of what predistracted . He should be asked that question. Are you proud of what they developed with fusion gps, which was funded by a Political Organization to disrupt a political election in this country . Is he really proud of all those things that the fbi did that not only are viewed by most of us as a mistake, but led to the dismissal of people at the fbi . Katie somebody getting fired in washington, d. C. , is very rare. The fact that Andrew Mccabe was fired, peter strzok was fired, not only just fired, but Andrew Mccabe has been referred for criminal by the attorney in washington, d. C. Those are big develop meds. The question is now how Christopher Wray decides to bring other people in, to ensure that their political biases are not getting into their work. Its a huge deal. I want to say, based on the way washington, d. C. , works, usually groove screw up and move it. People have been fired as a result. Its one step but no mike torta.

Harris new serious questions about facebook after a bombshell report in the New York Times thing with social media giant gave Tech Companies much more access to personal data than previously disclosed. Including allowing Companies Like netflix and spotify to read users private messages. They are also reporting that for years facebook gave some of the Worlds LargestTech Companies more intrusive access to users personal data than it has, effectively does know mike excluding them from their privacy rules. According to internal ohmic internal records and interviews. It allows other Tech Companies to take a peek, but they are denying they did so without consent. Facebook says to be clear, none of these partnerships or features give Companies Access to information without permission. Nor did they violate our 2012 settlement with the ftc. This is just the latest privacy scandal for facebook. Lawmakers like louisiana senator john kennedy, who always speaks his mind, want it to sto stop. The hits just keep on coming. Mr. Zuckerberg told us that he was going to stop doing this, and now we find out, yet again, that facebook has sold our private messages to other companies for bucket loads of money. Now, the first time it can be a mistake. The second time, its a choice. I dont want to have to regulate facebook. But, doggone it, they have to stop doing this. Harris bucket loads of cash. The first time, a mistake. The second time when is it a crime . David the ftc already put out a Consent Decree that this contradicts. They say they are going to give out unconsented data harvesting prayer thats a horrible phrase. Data harvesting. The New York Times, by the way, has been talk about a bucket load theyre getting a bucket load of really good information about what facebook has been doing behind the scenes. You have to read that stuff. Harris that has all the internal back and forth. How these prosecutors at a federal level who would be looking into this . If you lied to them, weve been told thats a crime. Katie allegedly. [laughter] david the ftc is a federal organization. I dont know what kind of powers they would have, how they could actually punish facebook for this stuff. Harris consumers can punish them. David we still dont know all the details. We mention netflix and spotify during the harvesting. Also, the royal bank of canada. What are they doing with our private information customers i dont want my private information circulating with all the financial organizations. If its in one bit, it gets into a very dull mike hundreds of others. Harris kennedy, we often have conversations with you because youre an expert on liberty. How does the step over the line . Kennedy it steps over the line of these major companies, they donate millions and millions of dollars to political campaigns. They essentially turn on their rivals. Whoever donates the most money gets to help write the law. Thats how cronyism works. Whether its with public unions or big tech. They work in concert with government harris is facebook dinner in danger of going down to these behaviors . Kennedy some of their biggest rivals will make sure they do bring them down a peg. Tech is always going to be five steps ahead of the government. Even when you sit in front of congressional committees and they admonish you and tell you to get the heck off their lawn, they still have and what they did was they buried all of this information and pages and pages of their privacy disclosures. The assumption is that, of course he read the privacy agr
