Joan dont like them at Lawrence Jones. Weve got a lot. Lawrence a lot of craziness happening. Thank you so much. Harris attorney general barr sat down with bill hemmer. They were in el salvador focusing on the migration crisis. Well have more on that coming up. First, the ag is defending his decision to investigate the origins of the russia probe. Sing the information he collected so far is just not adding up. When i came in from the outside, the questions i had and many of people had, that it would be readily answered once i got in. But i havent found that to be the case. A lot of the answers have been inadequate, and i have also found that some of the exclamations ive gotten dont hang together. In a sense, i have more questions today than i did when i first started. Harris attorney general barr also saying people should be concerned about potential domestic interference in elections, as well as foreign interference. If we are worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason we should be worried about whether government officials abuse their power and put their thumb on the scale. Im not saying that happened but i am saying that we have to look in that. Harris democrats are pushing back today, as you might imagine. House oversight emitting member broke, saying any suggestion of the investigation into russias meddling was politically motivated is insulting. I have such great admiration and respect for those who serve and our fbi, in our cia, in our military. They put their lives at stake to keep you and i and other people safe. I resent the accusation that they are somehow politicized. Are there bad actors . Sure. But when you have the head of the fbi, and trump at Administration OfficialChristopher Wray, saying this was a counterintelligence investigation to keep america safe from foreign interference. We have jim baker who is general counsel saying that we should listen to them and think these agencies for that service they do for their country. Harris just this morning, President Trump tweeted this. My campaign was conclusively spied on. Nothing like this has ever happened in american politics. A really bad situation. Treason means long jail sentences, and this was treason Lawrence Jones . Lawrence i think its comical that democrats all of a sudden want to protect the institution that they have criticized for so long. Especially when it comes to the department of justice as a whol whole. I also think theyre making a big mistake, because all the focus has been on the 11 and not drawn to her own, the United States attorney. This is not a guy thats an amateur. He has investigated corruption in the fbi before. He has gotten overturned. This is a guy that has went after the mafia. If hes on the job and he finds corruption, hes going to follow the facts and he is one disrespected by both parties. He was appointed by older, as well. He has served under george w. Bush. Now hes doing this investigation. But i do believe this is good for the president. Essentially, barr has taken a lot of the heat right now. He is well respected in the agency because he has done a lot of time there. A lot of people want to refer to him as the wing man, but he is a credible guy. So i think it will be hard to fight once all the evidence is laid out. Harris is interesting, lets dig a little deeper on the person whom william barr put in place to handle this investigation of john durham. When you look at him, he isnt just a bulldog, as he has been talked about. He has gotten cases overturned. Katie and lets look at the reason hes been appointed by the attorney general. In the interview this morning, attorney general barr talked about how when he arrived to the Justice Department he thought his questions would be answered readily. Now actually today, because of the answers being given not adding up, he has more questions now than he did when he arrived. He said publicly he is not stopping bob mueller from testifying. In fact, he doesnt understand why he hasnt done so, so far. The point he has made about looking into the way the government was behaving is crucial. You look back at the russia investigation and the crimes that were committed or pled guilty to in terms of financial crimes, like Paul Manafort or michael cohen, those are very limited in terms of consequence for the country. Whereas the corruption that we know about just now in the investigation that we will be seeing, that has far deeper consequences for the country moving forward if the fbi, which it sure likes it, was used as a palooka weapon. In addition to other local opponents. Harris and curacao democrats not the speak for everybody, but from a left perspective, how you look at this. Is there some neutrality you can see with this . If the shoe were on the foot, we would differ to know the origins of the russia probe. Three john huber has been looking into that, as well. You should have a reported three or four weeks. So theres somebody looking at this. We talked about a lot of the origin stories, all this has unfolded. I think Chris Wallace nailed it when he was talking to santa after bills interview on americas newsroom in the last hour. He said President Trump should be happy he has his age he never had President Trump complaint for a couple years that Jeff Sessions just wasnt his guy. He didnt like that he recused himself in the russia investigation, and bill barr used every story line. He didnt use the word hoax, that this was a witch hunt hoax. He parroted back her public and talking points. The issue of the origin, he threw james comey and klapper under the bus. He said its ridiculous that he would reply to chris van hollen. When they ask questions about his meeting with bob mueller on march 5th. The feeling of the unsealing of Court Documents relating to michael flynn, which shows he told bob mueller the people in the Trump Administration came to him to talk about cooperation, when he was going to go before it bought me the creative look at the ten instances of potential obstruction of justice. This doesnt in any way change the democrat narrative. Frankly, there are a lot of republicans who agree with this, as well. That this was a legitimate investigation and the president did harris let me step in for one second, lisa, i want to make this point. Its something we talked about and move forward on as an issue on the couch this weekend. That is that the ig report may be as revealing as the previous one. Borowitz has a habit of getting to the bottom of things. Jessica did i say huber qwest markets horowitz sorry, my mistake. Harris but there is no subpoena or punitive power. You can understand why you might want somebody who can actually overturn a case. Toss people where they need to be tossed if theyve been breaking the law or doing things and appropriately. He will want to know exactly not just the facts, but the perspective of Holding People accountable. Lisa we already know that politico reported the the Inspector General report is going to deeply undermine Christopher Steele. Thats important because the dossier is essentially what this russia investigation was rooted in. The fbi and the doj, when they went to the fisa court and signed off on the dossier, on the fisa court, they were basically testifying to the credibility of Christopher Steele. We know that hes not credible. We know that because of the finding that there was no collusion. We also know that with recent reporting by john solomon of the hill, that the state department had flagged to the fbi, including Peter Strzoks team, the fbi investigators who were looking into russia and interference, they flagged it to them that Christopher Steele, parts of what he saying was inaccurate. Also that he had a political animus and trying to get this information out before election day. Now what are we seeing . We are seeing former cia and tell chiefs basically circular firing squad about who wanted the dossier included in the intel reports. Katie can i push back on this idea that william barr is repeating talking points . Hes looking into very serious allegations of the federal government was used in partnership with the Political Campaign against private american citizens and abuse of a fisa court which one of us have access to, that is secretive. To say hes only parroting republican talking points when he started to get Government Accountability so this doesnt happen, as he has said, to democrats or republicans in the future, that should be something that everyone who is concerned about government overreach are concerned about. Lawrence and hes in and experience ag. Harris i want to get to this so we can fold this in. Spirited already. Conservative Watchdog GroupJudicial Watch has raised new questions over and people at the center of the russia probe. Bruce and nellie ohr. Big wall, you can see them, there they are. Bruce ohr is a former highranking Justice Department official. His wife, nellie, was hired by fusion gps to dig up dirt on thencandidate donald j. Trump during the 2016 election. Judicial watch has uncovered a conversation between them in which nellie writes, thanks, im deleting these emails now. Judicial watch president says she was informing her husband about deleting emails indicating up a plot against the president. Here is what he wrote. This email is disturbing and suggests documents relevant to targeting of President Trump were destroyed. All this comes as attorney general william barr is raising more questions regarding fusion gps. The antitrump dossier in particular. It was compiled by Christopher Steele and fusion gps, and it involves bruce and nellie ohr. Here is. Watch. Its a very unusual situation to have Opposition Research like that. Especially one that, on its face, had a number of clear mistakes and somewhat jejune analysis. To use that to do counterintelligence against a Political Campaign is a strange it would be estranged about men. Im not sure what role it played but thats something we have to look at. Harris and the usual situation paid lawrence . Lawrence katie alluded to this in the last block, when bill barr came to the Justice Department he started to ask questions. He wasnt getting straight answers to these questions. Ive got to ask the democrats, when you see Something Like this between bruce and nellie ohr, do you think thats okay . These interactions of deleting emails, spying on the president , clearly covering up something. Is that okay . Jessica clearly, spying on the president is problematic. We have Christopher Wray come a trump appointee, head of the fbi, came out last week and said it wasnt spying. It was legitimate counterintelligence investigation. Lawrence but hes also trying to protect the institution, though. Jessica you want to say hes lying for them . That hes brought into cleanup and now hes just lawrence you know what . I think the rank and file he is afraid that the rank and file will feel like he doesnt support them. But the fact of the matter its is not the first time the fbi has spied on americans. They have a history of doing it. Im not saying every federal agent out there is going to target americans. But the leadership, what we do know historically, has done Something Like this. Harris i want to slide this and if i can. People watching, remember what william barr said and hes right about this spying, whether its illegal or inappropriate. Its what they do, its not a pejorative. Its not a word that has some secret meaning in it. Jessica it sounds a lot different than a legitimate counterintelligence investigation. Lawrence but theyve done it illegally before. Harris you can spy legitimately with a warrant. You can do what you need to do. The question isnt whether or not spying was going on. The question is what led up to that point . Where the right steps taken . Were there any inappropriate or illegal steps taken that process . The fisa court is secret. It would be great if we could just get all their files, but thats probably not going to happen on this friday. Jessica they made it clear that a number of Campaign Officials lied to the fbi about contacts with russians. We all cant refuse that. That happened, i knew it was clear about that. Harris some of them are playing the price but what they said that wasnt true. Papadopoulos lives like, i dont know what i lied, i wasnt doing anything wrong. Jessica you can say whatever he wants. Harris thats a problem. Lisa what attorney general barr wants to get to the bottom of his whether it was predicated. To get to the bottom of that, as i pointed out before, we know that the fbi withheld critical information. Of the dossier was funded by the dnc and the clinton administration. And he also because of the Mueller Report, we know that Christopher Steeles information in the dossier was not accurate. It was sensational. It was inaccurate. Lawrence it also a lisa in regard to nellie ohr, part of what Christopher Steele tried to do was get access to government officials to give legitimacy to the dossier. We know that nellie ohr was pumping information about russians to her husband and other officials of the doj. So she is absolutely someone they need to look at. Harris before we scoot, i know you looked closer at these emails. I want to know as much as we possibly can, katie, about the context. Because people deleting emails, that happens. This was different. Katie the date on the email when she said shes deleting it is april 2016. So it was before the investigation into nellie ohr and bruce ohr and everything going on was actually investigated. The most important point to make here is that fusion gps was being paid by a Political Campaign, and a nellie ohr, as lisa said, was giving information to a senior ranking official of the department of justice who has now been demoted in order to use the densest partner to go after a Political Campaign. What we do know about the fisa court is that in april 2016, at the same time she was deleting that email, the former nsa director actually called for a review of fisa because the fbi was hiring outside contactors s to look at the fisa information paid he testified about that in october 2016 as well. We know there are problems with access to fisa information. Outside groups like fusion gps, outside contractors having information. And the former nsa director said, we have a problem here. Speed when it comes back down to that trail. They are married, so you can address the question, why dont they just talk to each other . But she had to go back and delete emails. I dont know, im just asking a bunch of questions. I can assure you that the investigators will ask a bunch of questions, too. We will move on. Growing claims that social media sites are silencing conservative viewpoints. Know the white house is rolling out a tool for americans to report claims of censorship. Whether big tech stifling free speech is a real problem, or if the white house is playing politics on this. Boy, the debate on this will get spicy. Plus, as the show down and testifies between the white house and democrats, more from attorney general William Barrs exclusive fox news interview. He fires back at democrats, going after his handling of the Mueller Report. Keep attuned here. Speak about part of the usual political circus being played. It doesnt surprise me.
