A lot of big things coming next weekend. Jason chaffetz is sitting in for Laura Ingraham tonight. Hope you have a great weekend. Well see you back here on monday. Good evening from washington welcome to the the ingraham angle. Im Jason Chaffetz in for laura tonight. We have a great show full of big stories an breaking news. Democrats and republicans cooperated to end a Government Shutdown but many conservatives are not celebrating. Well tell you why. And we have ambassador john bolton on the odd couple at the olympics. Vice president mike pence sitting almost next to the sister of north koreas dictator. President trump has decided tonight he cannot release the democrats fisa memo. He is inclined to release it but it needs changes because it contains classified material and a very sensitive passage. Lets go to foxs ed henry now with more. This is a bit of a surprise. Just a few hours ago lawmakers close to the process were predicting that the democrats memo would go public as early as tonight. President trump himself indicated to reporters in the middle of the day he was inclined to release this with at least some sensible redactions of National Security information. But i think a clue of this holdup came later in the afternoon when the president huddled with lawyers from the White House Counsels Office and lawyers from the Justice Department and the f. B. I. Director christopher wray. Once you get the lawyers more deeply involved look out. The changes may be coming. Sure enough mcgahn fired off a letter to nunes saying although the president is inclined to declassify the february 5th memo, because the memorandum contains numerous especially sensitive passages he sun able to do so at this time. However, given the Public Interest in the transparency in these unprecedented circumstances the president has directed the Justice Department personnel be available to give Technical Assistance to the
intel committee should the Committee Wish to revise the february 5th memo to mitigate the risks identified by the department. Now allies of nunes have been saying they believe it was a bit of a setup. Democrat adam schiff put classified information in there that he knew would trip it out and democrats would cry that the president is hiding something. Chuck schumer tonight pounced. He said the president s Double Standard when it comes to transparency is appalling. The rational for releasing the nunes memo, transparency, vanishes when it can show information harmful to him. Millions of americans are asking what is he hiding . The next step for house intel is to either except the president s decisions, make changes and send it back to the white house or they can try to override the president in a secret session of the house. There has been only six of those in history. Very rare. Regardless of how they do it the bottom line. Were told the democratic memo does not dispute the key point of nuness memo. F. B. I. And d. O. J. Personnel got the fisa warrant to spy on
correct . The information about the procedure and manner in which a warrant is obtained. That information should not have been released to the American Public but it was beneficial to donald trump and he released it notwithstanding a Public Statement from the f. B. I. And the Department Of Justice not to release it. John, lets go to this. There is also word about a second dossier that is out there. Tell us what you know about that . In the summer of 2016 there was another pipeline of clintonrelated information coming into the State Department and to Christopher Steele and to the f. B. I. It comes through two guys that weve heard from the past in the old clinton years in the 90s. Tony sheer, a private eye, sidney blumenthal. Their eye spy inside the campaign. They put the information in and tracks close to what steele had. All this information coming in. I predict all four sources of
the information the f. B. I. Used the launch the investigation against donald trump every one will have a connection to the Clinton Campaign. One of the concerns thats out there politico is reporting tonight that steve bannon may have been picked up on some of these surveillances. How does that strike you . Right in the heart of the campaign and theyve also got now steve bannon according to politico that they were spying on as well . Jason, we know two things right now despite that interesting little opening by leo there. We know that the obama team spied on the trump team. Thats not in dispute. How it happened may be in dispute. We know that happened. What we also know is we know because there are court transcripts, okay . There is an actual record of this that no democrat can run from and no democrat will have plausible denyability on. The bulk of the material that went in front of the Fisa Court Judges was provided by, in fact, the dossier, a dossier that came from two sources,
substantiateed the fisa warrant came from the australian ambassador who hears papadopoulos in the bar drunk and having conversation with him. I think well learn about that ambassador and his loyalties. I think youll find out four out of four things the f. B. I. Used to start listening on the Trump Campaign comes back to the clinton family. Leo, does any of this does any of this concern you . And i have to ask you give look right in the cam rand tell us, if donald trump had done this against a democrat, you cant tell me that you would just be sitting idly by saying the f. B. I. Just acted perfectly in this instance. Im looking you and the American Public now and leaning forward. Donald trump is basically attacking every institution in the American Government that he controls. The cia, f. B. I. , Department Of Justice. You want me to drink that koolaid and believe the entire Governmental Security agencies are against donald trump . You want me to drink that
koolaid today on National Today . Do you believe the entire Secret Service and the f. B. I. And Department Of Justice, everyone . Come on. Leo, its amazing. You do this liberals do this all the time. They never address what you say. They go on to something else. He never addressed at all the substance of what i said. We know for a fact the obama team spied on the trump team. We know the information was provided by steele through the russians and know the information was provided through clinton i know because one of them wrote an oped in the Washington Post admitting to it and another one went on a Weekend News Show and admitted to it, too. Go on about the russians again. Thats what they do. Ill play your game. Therefore, what . What are you making conclusion . Tell us your conclusion. Therefore what . Who can therefore the obama team you may be hard of hearing but i already said it. Infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia.

Like fact that theyll just. Forgive you. Four weeks without the car. Okay, yup. Good night. With Accident Forgiveness your rates wont go up just because of an accident. Switching to allstate is worth it. Now you can get it, too. Welcome to the party. Jason the Trump Administration is under a fierce new attack by the left and media following the resignation of staff secretary rob porter of wednesday. He was accused of Domestic Violence by two exwives. Some are calling for the resignation for chief of staff john kelly claiming he has known about the allegations for months. Today the president urged everyone to withhold judgment until all the facts are known. I found out about it recently and i was surprised by it. But we certainly wish him well. It is a tough time for him. He did a very good job when he was in the white house. And we hope he has a wonderful career and hopefully he will have a great career ahead of him. He says he is innocent. You have to remember that. He said very strongly yesterday that he is innocent. Jason the Porter Allegations are creating a Feeding Frenzy with the president. They protected and promoted porter. There were several other ways the white house could have gone. The choices made by john kelly and others are inexcusable. They project abuser, no way of getting around it. People will say you can still be a good president and do your job, no, any other white house as soon as you would hear that you would get rid of the person. The reaction to this fully in character is utterly repulsive. Jason also developing tonight a second white house staffer resigned. Speech writer David Sorenson after his exwife claimed he was violent during their marriage, a charge that sorenson is denying. Lets explore it with conservative Television Host alley stuckey and leslie marshall. Thank you for being here. Leslie, i want to start with you. How do you think the president and the white house dealt with this situation . You know, jason. Sometimes its not the crime, its the coverup. Thats the problem here. It was who knew what and when and why or in this case why wasnt something done about it . We do know that kelly knew about this in the fall. We do know that this information was out there in the white house to the president s attorney back a year ago. And yet there was still not a thorough investigation, nothing was done and they were still going forwardlooking into possible highlevel Security Clearance for porter for this individual. Thats very troubling. Further troubling for me, jason, as a woman is that the president today wished an alleged accused abuser of women well and said nothing about the alleged victims. Thats very troublesome for me. Jason what was your reaction to it when you saw this story and how the white house dealt with it . First of all think issues of Domestic Violence are serious. We can agree on that. Simply because i voted for donald trump. I think we can all also all agree that this was simply a bad situation that the white house has already admitted they mishandled and it was a bad situation that people who work for the president should be held accountable for. However, i also think that it is completely dishonest and a little hypocritical of the liberal media to issue an indictment on the entire administration and presidency for mishandling the situation in the same way it was an indictment on the entirety of the Clinton Campaign when she covered up for the sexually harassing advisor in 2008. It is not an indictment on trumps entire presidency. I find the hypocrisy from some
members of the liberal media to be a little tired and very dishonest. Jason even Hillary Clinton after the fact came back and said even though she had a report from her Campaign Manager there was Sexual Harassment problems she would not have fired that person. Did you speak out against that or are you just speaking out against donald trump . Im glad you asked me, jason. You can google it. Yes, i did here on fox on television on my radio show, on my column, on twitter and all other social media. I as a woman, a feminist and woman first before my party, i have to say i was appalled by this, absolutely appalled by this. I was very open and verbal about that and i wasnt the only person on the left. Jason good for you. Not the only democrat that is just a woman that felt that way. The problem that i have when we talk about hypocrisy. Im glad you did that. I want to speak out on this, too. If the white house knew about this they have a problem and i think they have to also have an
accounting. I think the chief of staff should get a list of everybody that is working in the white house who has passed a Security Background Check who has Question Marks and who has failed. I saw this as a Oversight Chairman when i was the Oversight Chairman. I saw part of this in the obama administrations. Allegations. Im trying to say their equal but Security Clearances with the people in close proximity to the president is problematic. I want to ask you and come over to you, alley. Leslie, when you have somebody who denies it and there is an accusation, what is the right thing to do . Do you let them keep their job, have proximity to the president . What should happen . Well, first of all you read my mind because thats what i was about to say. To talk about. I have a problem here with the hypocrisy. Let me use as an example senator al franken. Although we had a photo, there were other allegations by not only the woman in the photos
but others against the senator. He said i didnt do this. These claims are false. Yet he stepped down and there was pressure among his own party and the president said negative things. He didnt say he denies it. Roy moore, the president says he denies it. Porter the president says he denies it. I feel that the president , jason, made it worse with his remarks again today not mentioning the women. What should be done . In this climate where we have so many allegations of sexual abuse, Sexual Harassment, the me too movement, i think it would be wise for any administration left or right to have to remove these individuals because it will be a stain on their administration. Ali, whats the right thing to do. He said she said, there is a disagreement. Whats the right thing to do . We can only run on hypotheticals and all this is. Like leslie said, we dont know
who knew what when. We know what the white house is telling us. What the white house is telling us is that mike pence and President Trump only found out about these allegations this week. Apparently general kelly knew the full extent of the allegations last week and porter submitted his rest ignition and it was accepted. Mike pence has even said you know what . I think we could have handled this a little more appropriately, which i took as taking responsibility. So at the end of the day i think the right thing happened. Porter resigned, he is no longer in the white house where i personally think that he belongs. Is not in the white house. Jason thank you both. My personal take on it is if there is any question about the people closest to the president of the United States, today were out here with some big news.
