FOXNEWSW The Five April 9, 2018

We are meeting with our military and everybody else. We will be making some major decisions over the next 24 248 hours. We are very concerned when a thing like that can happen. This is about humanity. We are talking about humanity. It cant be allowed to happen. Dana the president putting russia and iran on notice, suggesting they may have played a role and could face serious consequences as well. You may. He made. If he does, its going to be very tough. Everybody is going to pay a price. He will. Everybody well. U. S. Military action, is it off the table . Nothing is off the table. Dana the attack reportedly killed 40 people, comes a year after the u. S. Retaliated for the last syrian gas massacre. An Emergency Security Council Meeting held the United Nations this afternoon, greg, people wondering if the United Nations put anything into this action. The attack came at the breakdown of talks between assad and the rebels. Greg the timing is so weird. President trump says we are pulling out and a chemical attack presents itself which kind of says not yet. They are smart people, smarter than me on this, who believe syria is behind this. Tom rogan wrote a piece today. Senator mccain. This doesnt make sense to me for two reasons. Syria cant hide from retribution. Clearly they are, if they are responsible, they will be bombed. Its not like they can run to the mountains. If you want america to leave, why would you do this . Maybe im not that bright but why would you do this . Aside from that, we are still going to retaliate. The reason why we are going to retaliate is because assad is like o. J. Simpson. O. J. Didnt get found guilty of his real crimes of killing nicole and ron brady was found guilty of a later charge for Armed Robbery and kidnapping. The fact is assad has done enough bad stuff that if he didnt do this, so what. Dana perhaps assad says the benefit of victory outweighs jesse he is on his heels. I dont believe he would do this without russias knowledge. They are the sponsor and puppet master. Trump was handed a mess in syria. Thats not my comment. Thats obamas national Security Council spokesman who said that himself the other day. Heres why. One obama was president , there was a big leadership vacuum in the reason. Russian came in to fill it. At the beginning of the civil war, the Obama Administration spent half a billion dollars to train five syrian rebel fighters. It was a waste from the jump. Then you have this incredible gas attack where obama drew a redline, didnt respond. Putin had to sweep and help president obama save face and organized this group to rid syria of these chemical weapons. People like john kerry and susan rice bragged about bringing all the chemical weapons out of there. President obama himself said it was the crowning achievement of its Foreign Policy legacy. Thats obviously in tatters now. It didnt help sending almost 2 billion in cash to the iranians. Right now you have a proxy war, and its probably tribal. It brings in the great powers, america and russia, but you have the saudis and the iranians going at it because there is a major natural gas pipeline which obviously, they are trying to reroute it to the european unio european union. Russia has this port city that gives its navy access to the mediterranean. They have an air base with about 1,000 personnel. Syria allows the iranian navy access to the mediterranean. It looks like our side, the saudis, israelis, our rebels. They are getting desperate. Putin is probably heard from that sanctions and his oligarch friends are hurting and Energy Prices are low and they are trying to test our resolve. I believe you can see President Trump seething when he is crossing his arms like that. The last time he did that was the fire and fury comment. I think they are going to pay, like he said, steep price. Dana every Major Players there. Our western allies. Russian, iran, perhaps north korea. We know north korea had been helping syria before with Nuclear Material and possibly chemical weapons. Also israel. When the attack started happening in syria last night, the United States said its not us. Everybody is saying its not us. And saudi not complaining that israel took action. Juan it was important for people to understand israel decided they could take unilateral action. Its because the United States is there to back them up. In a sense, it is israel acting in a way that would help the United States and allow President Trump more time to decide whats appropriate action. I think its telling that it was a year ago he said assad was not a priority for him and thats when assad did the chemical weapons attack. This time it was his remarks in ohio last week saying its time to get out of syria. Now they act again. It looks like whenever theres a sign from the u. S. Government that maybe we are not paying full attention, assad then sees it as a signal for him to take action. He can do what he wants to do. To me, this is very troubling because it opens the door not only to russia and iran but also Islamic State coming back into the picture. Its not, if not Islamic State, than al qaeda. Dont forget the taliban is right next door. Dana kimberly, the thing that is so disgusting about assad is his willingness to attack children. Out of these 40 that were killed, many of them were children. Children and innocents are dying by lots of other means as well but chemical weapons, is not going to be our redline . Kimberly it should be. It should have been a long time ago. This is an opportunity for President Trump to show his resolve in his strength, that he will not tolerate these kind of atrocities and the genocide thats been going on there. This guy is just disgusting, its outrageous, lack of any kind of morality or humanity to murder children in this way. Obviously israel stepped up to the plate. They have the backing of the United States. I think thats a significant Strategic Partnership thats going to change the course of history in that region which is so fraught with so many problems in terms of the complexities of the region, politically and otherwise. This is going to say a lot about President Trump, his presidency, his handle on Foreign Affairs and National Security. He has shown the strength before. It has worked. I think hes going to respond rather quickly in regards to this. Greg can i respond to one . When some big bad guy leaves at barneys going to leave a bar, you dont throw something at the guy as hes leaving, you just hope he leaves. What you said was that trump saying that signaled assad there was a lack of attention and therefore he could take his own action. Why wouldnt he just do nothing and let the big guy leave . Dana to reemphasize, what happened on friday was that the talks between assad and the rebels broke down. I dont know if there was causation or correlation or whatever, but there was an action in syria that maybe they werent paying attention of what President Trump was saying. Juan i think they were paying attention to trump. I think for them, the United States, the big guy walking out of the bar. Once you see the big guy at walk away, for assad, it was this is my country. This is what Vladimir Putin said. Assad is the legitimate president of syria. He says to trump you cant talk and act to a legitimately elected president in this way. Its interesting that President Trump then said to putin, who is often times, you know, reluctant to criticize, you are wrong. I was really struck by that. Dana i think they must have intel but tell them. They know, russia, 119 Million People or something. This is a country that is trying to make some sort of investment in assad and they made a really bad bet in him. But now you have this seething cauldron, as kimberly was saying, the geocomplexities, it makes for john bolton having a big first day at the office, National Security advisor. Jesse welcome to the job. Dana next, former attorney general Loretta Lynch breaking her silence on that infamous tarmac meeting, what she is saying about that, james comey, and more. Next on the five. Do you think its going to surprise your daughter . Absolutely. Wait, is mom here yet . Wheres mom . Shes in this car. What the heck . Whoa. Yo, whose car is this . This is the allnew chevy traverse. This is beautiful. It has apple carplay compatibility. Do those apps look familiar . Ohhhhh. Do you want to hit this button . Theres a hidden compartment. Uhh, whoa. Mom, when im older can you buy me this car . I wanna buy me this car. daniel jacob for every hour that youre idling in your car, youre sending about half a gallon of gasoline up in the air. That amounts to about 10 pounds of Carbon Dioxide every week malo hutson growth is good, but when it starts impacting our quality of air and quality of life, thats a problem. So forwardthinking cities like sacramento are investing in streets that are smarter and greener. The solution was right under our feet. Asphalt. To be more precise, intelligent asphalt. By embedding sensors into the pavement, as well as installing cameras on traffic lights, we will be able to analyze the flow of traffic. Then that data runs across our network, and we use it to optimize the timing of lights, so that travel times are shorter. Who knew asphalt could help save the environment . Why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. Start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids. Pour it through britas twostage filter. Dissolved solids remain . What if we filter it over and over . sighing oh dear. Thank goodness zerowaters fivestage filter gets to all zeroes the first time. So, maybe its time to upgrade. Get more out of your water. Get zerowater. Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away. Get more out of your water. Jesse this is a fox news alert. Breaking news her down trump longtime personal attorney Michael Cohen. The fbi seizing documents. More now from john roberts. Good afternoon. The fbi raided Michael Collins Business Office and also rated his apartment and in a hotel room in which he has been staying. I am told that the fbi took pretty much everything they could find. In the form of paper or electronic communications. We dont know exactly what this has to do with, though in the course of seizing the documents, could have been then because it wasnt necessarily what they were looking for, documents related to the 130,000 payment Michael Cohen made in october 2016 to stephanie clifford, a. K. A. Stormy daniels, as part of her agreeing to the confidentiality agreement she has been fighting with her Attorney Michael Avenatti to get out of for some time. We have a statement from stephen ryan, who is Michael Cohens attorney. The attorney representing the attorney, if you will, said the u. S. Attorneys office for the Southern District of new york executed a series of search warrants and seized Privileged Communications between my client Michael Cohen and his client. Ryan was advised that, by federal prosecutors that the new york action was in part due to a referral from the special counsel Robert Mueller. Thats where we have the time between whats going on here in washington and what happened there in new york. Cohens attorney goes on to complain about the seizure of privileged documents saying it was completely inappropriate and unnecessary. Resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorneyclient communications between a lawyer and his client. Ryan going on to say there was no reason for them to do this because cohen provided thousands of nonprivileged documents to congress and separate depositions under oath. Stormy daniels, her attorney couldnt wait to show his glee at this latest development because he and Michael Cohen have been in a cage match over Stormy Daniels trying to get out of her nondisclosure agreement. Michael avenatti in a statement to fox news saying as i predicted last week, cnn and nbc, mr. Cohen has been placed in the cross hairs by mr. Trump, set up to take the f. Enormous amount of misplaced faith on his shoulders. I do not believe he has the metal to withstand it. If im correct, this could end very, very badly for mr. Trump and others. We do not know the substance of what the fbi was looking for. Only that i came in part from a referral from the special counsels office and of course Robert Mueller has been looking into russia collusion. Hes been looking into the financial dealings of Paul Manafort and rick gates. He has Michael Flynn on making false statements. He has George Papadopoulos on making false statements. It would seem logical to assume, jesse, that somewhere in the course of his investigation, Robert Mueller came upon some information that he thought that the u. S. Attorneys office for the Southern District of new york would want to know about. The u. S. Attorneys office found it was compelling enough that they sent the fbi told Michael Cohens office, home, and hotel room to pick it up. Jesse serious developments. Thanks a lot. We will update you on this as we learn more. Meanwhile, it gave jim comey a queasy feeling, thats how the former fbi director felt when his former boss obama attorney general Loretta Lynch pushed him to downplay the clinton email investigation. It was lynchs tarmac meeting with hillarys husband bill that ultimately led comey to go public with news of the probe. In a conclusive way, that was the thing that made me think i had to do something separately, protect the integrity of the investigation, fbi and justice department. Were there of things that contributed to that that you can describe . The only other consideration i can talk about in an open setting, at one point the attorney general directed me not to call it an investigation, but instead to call it a matter, which confused me. Jesse lynch contradicts his account in a new book. This was a very sensitive investigation. The issue when we sat down, i think it was early fall 2015, it was whether or not we were ready as a department to confirm an investigation going on. We typically do not confirm or deny investigations into anything. With rare exceptions. To the extent he noted that that have bothered implementing did he go to you . We had a full and open discussion about it. He didnt raise concerns . Concerns were not raised. Jesse kimberly, what do you make about comey not raising concerns directly to his boss . Do you think its because, speaking to his boss, or he was a little bit of a coward. If you are going to say hours later, oh, it concerned me but you never raised it, how to use query it . Kimberly i think if you have a concern, you need to raise it right away. Promptly. With speed and efficiency to make sure you have the record set straight and that you have addressed any concerns you have because otherwise you are in the explain game later on. And then its a problem because you have prior inconsistent statements which can be highly problematic. Before the congress, ig, fbi. There is a tremendous amount of exposure here. I believe she is trying to get out ahead of it. This book coming out, all of it to make sure, try to clean up the record. Jesse juan come or do you think . Juan it is puzzling to me to be honest. I dont understand why jim comey would say that. We all know comey has this book coming out. Its going to be a big deal. I am curious. Loretta lynch said she wants to see what comey had to say about why he came out of the last moment and have that long press conference in which he said they were not going to go ahead and file charges against hillary clinton. But here is the horrible things and the carelessness she displayed in the use of the private email server. She says she didnt understand it. It was a surprising way for the attorney general to be told by the fbi director of his decision. I think she said lets look for the book. Lets see how he explains it. It will be very interesting. Jesse i think theres going to be a lot of backstabbing among people who used to work for each other. Dana i wonder if comey has any of those, kimberly has to remind me of the term but those contemporaries notes, whats it called . Memo to file . Kimberly he referred to. Dana comey says he did that with President Trump. I wonder, if he was troubled or concerned via something Loretta Lynch asked him, if he had a similar memo and if any of us had a chance to interview him, we might actually ask that question. Im also curious as to why she is doing this now, and then it occurred to me comey has no natural partisan support anymore, not on the right or left. The clinton people probably dislike him more than the Republican People for sure. They want to get out ahead of it to try to basically muddy the waters for comey going into what is going to be a very big to do with his book tour. Jesse greg, dana brings up a great point. Theres goi
