that they expose all the benghazi lives of hillary clinton? we did on thisis program. did cbs cover in great detail how members of the media colluded with the clinton campaign in this election cycle? we did here. how much time did cbs devote to this phony russian conspiracy story even though after eight months there is not a shred of evidence? that is the difference, ted, between me and you. i'm honest with my audience. i don't pretend that i am fair and balanced and objective. you do. if you really cared about truth and journalism, how can you work for a network that only tells one side of the story? how can i be bad for america when i'm offering the american people news and information nightly that it your own network will not touch because they have an agenda? now, ted, i happen to be very proud of the work i do. i am proud of the teams we have built here that work really hard every day to bring this audience news and information that well, frankly, the rest of the media ignores. i hope you enjoyed your press coverage this weekend and covering how bad i am for ameri

, she lied to the mother of a fallen hero of benghazi. not one, not one democrat elected said this is a bridge too far, i can't support this candidate. not one. i bright this up in discussing the communist party, because that's the way the communist party was really effective in political warfare, everybody in lockstep. and that's the way the left behaves today. political correctness is like a zipper with a lock on it over everybody's lips. you just don't say things. you don't say to a woman you're a liar and a crook who is a former first lady, a former senator, a secretary of state. you do it to a male, but women are a protected species. all this baloney about being strong, they're strong women. elizabeth warren, character assassinating a decent human being who spent 40 years in public life, a dedicated public servant, a champion of civil rights, calling him a racist, reading a letter that was, in essence, repudiated by coretta scott king, violating the senate rules. when mcconnell says you can't say that, oh, they're silencing another w

this guy beat the crap out of us on benghazi. this guy raised real questions about our integrity with regard to benghazi. this guy was a major critic of secretary clinton on the emails. and so there was a question, would he bring that partisanship into the c.i.a.? charlie: and the answer is so far? michael: he has not. he knew going in that he would have to deal with that problem. i think he has dealt with it effectively. i don't think there's anybody in cia who thinks -- charlie: he is the best person to bring respect between the intelligence community overall and the trump administration so that they trust each other, and so that if the intelligence community makes a recommendation, the president believes it. michael: yes. yes. that relationship is very important for that reason. charlie: the dossier produced by the former british intelligence operative. michael: yes, chris steele. it is still out there. i am sure it is input into the fbi investigation. the fbi is probably looking at it for leads. charlie, when that came out, i

you know, look, benghazi, you talk about benghazi and libya, such a disaster, the al qaeda flag was flying over the capital in a war that i tried to stop and why were they listening to my conversation? they wanted to find a way to strategize, to defeat the resolution that i had that woulo have -- stopped the war. the administration. >> bill: the obama administration wanted to derail your efforts to keep the usa from participating in the demise of qaddafi. all right. that is your take on it. so, you want more information, but a lot of that is redacted, you would like to see the whole thing, right? >> absolutely.y. >> bill: you have to go to judicial watch, that is one who can get you that. then, when you heard about trump saying that president obamas tapped the trump tower, what went through your mind? >> i heard a lot of people laughing about it and i said, wait a minute. i had something happen to me, i have never talked about it before, but i thought, this isis the time to explain to people that if a member of congress can have his phone tapped, on a policy matter, hey, this could happen

somehow, they weren't complaining about the length of the benghazi investigation. oftentimes they don't have the results that either side wants. or a special prosecutor. >> you had an exchange here with the fbi director. let's take a listen and talk to you about that. >> is russia our adversary, mr. comey? >> yes. >> mr. rogers. >> yes. do they intend to do us harm? >> they intend to ensure, i believe, that they gain advantage at our expense. >> director comey. >> yes. i want to be -- harm can have meanings. they're an adversary, they want to undermine us in lots of different ways. >> congresswoman, i think listening to that exchange and thought back to the 2012 when it was mitt romney who said during that campaign he considered russia or top geopolitical faux, and the response from democrats was ridicule, quite frankly to the notion it seemed even of an adversarial relationship with russia. obviously a lot has happened since then, there was the russian invasion of ukraine all of the issues with rooumpb interference there. looking back, were democrats guilty of bei

just just as quickly turn around and say the republicans had hearing after hearing after hearing about benghazi or fast and furious, or whatever. can you you imagine if president obama's top advisor, national security had to resign because of contacts with the russian ca you imagine if you would've lied about them, they would all beem demanding impeachment. i think the whole country has to take a deep breath and step back and try to think not in partisan terms but in patriotic terms. i think our democracy is under threat by the russian so everybody should try to reverse the situation in their own mind. >> from michigan, the independent line. tom, your next. >> good morning. my understanding is he is a democratic representative. i would like to know his opinion in regards to when the president addressed members of congress p along with the supreme court people who were also there, the justices, we are really kind of, what stuck out to me was the large contingency of democrats, members of the democratic congress who are wearing white. >> yes, most of the women members of the democratic caucus cho

during the benghazi -- the inquiry into benghazi, when he was not happy with the leadership of his committee under a republican, he went around leadership and brought in a witness to meet directly with then speaker john boehner in his office. so, chairman nunes is somebody that doesn't always like how intelligence gathering is handled inside washington. he feels like there's a lot of group think inside washington, and he has been, in his words, hot on the trail of what he feels are improper leaks that led to the unmasking of general flynn, and he told me on thursday when i talked to him for 20 minutes and i was asking about this, others. he said it wasn't illegal, but improper and out of bounds. so, i think there is a lot more to this story and not all of it may turn out well for him, but i think to understand the character of chairman nunes, this is not surprising to me that he would sort of go around the edges here to try to ferret out information and get it out into the public. >> the part about this -- again, the timeline, jay, is that ne, was on white house grounds in the executive offi

we needed an independent special prosecutor or a special committee, like trey gowdy ran on benghazi. >> martha: very briefly, is there anything that you have seen so far that there is anything to ward about jared kushner? >> no, he is cooperating completely. he is not acting like someone who has a secret. what you see, a normal process of accountability. i will say this clearly. the congressman did what he did bait based on his obligation to protect the nation. >> martha: good to see you. coming up at 8:00 on "the o'reilly factor" ," devin nunes, clearly the man of the hour, who will we have been talking about for the last 11 minutes will be on the hot seat. he will talk to bill o'reilly, who no doubt will give him some good questions. stick around for that. stick around, the white house trying to move on from health care and on this monday pursuing action, action, action, and the words of strategist steve bannon. can the gang that fumbled health care get back to the mat on tax reform? who will their friends be on that one, by the way? chris stirewalt, charlie hurt join us. plus, as

this guy beetd the crap out of us on benghazi. this guy raised real questions about our integrity with regard to benghazi, this guy was a major critic of secretary clinton on the emails. and so there was a question, would he bring that partisan schip into the cia. >> rose: and the answer is so far. >> he has not. and he knew going in, he knew going in that he would have to deal with that problem. and i think he's dealt with it effectively. i don't think there is anybody in cia that thinks. >> rose: he is the best person to bring a respect between the intelligence community overall and the trump administration. respect, so that they trust each other and so that if the intelligence committee makes a recommendation, the president believes it. >> that relationship is really important for exactly that reason. the other thing about mike pompeo that is worth knowing, look, i didn't like the guy. >> when he was questioning me on ben gaddee but have i gotten to know him since then, i really like him, one of the interesting things about him

benghazi, wants to elevate himself. when i think at the way they try , sessions,r sessions to me, is the most deplorable person in the republican party to donald trump. host: okay. we are continuing calls and taking a look at yesterday's hearing from fbi director james comey. the nsa director also testified yesterday. you can give us your thoughts on it. 202-748-8000 for democrats. 202-748-8001 for republicans and 202-748-8002 for independents. gowdy,ler mentioned trey his line of questioning taking a look at these leaks and asking questions. "the hill" saying it was him asking the fbi director yesterday whether reporters could be prosecuted for leaks despite a long-standing tradition in court history of not prosecuting the press. the story also adding that the fbi director said there was not an exception for u.s. officials. you can watch this hearing for yourself at c-span. here is trey gowdy asking mr. comey about laws that could apply to reporters if they are found out about publishing classified information. [video

. >> there is the russian reset and things like benghazi. why did we just hear state department employees described as heroes? >> state department employees are heroes because they go all around the world and do things that americans don't always understand. they sacrificed themselves to combat ebola and aids. they give money to peace keeping missio missio missio missions. just to pull back one second, he's proposing a $54 billion is more than the entire state's department budget and the foreign aid budget combined. so what he's doing is robbing peter to papy paul. as secretary mattis say, i have to pay more ammunition because we are more at risk. this is money to go to our security. >> heidi prybyla, after healthcare, this goes up next. what happens if the trump tower does not win one or two along the way >> first of all, it is going to be hard to get anything done, this or tax reform or anything if they're not able to get obamacare done. i do think that both of these programs are showing that they are an expression, healthcare and this bud

in benghazi, our professional staff had to go out and figure out what intelligence they needed to ask for, didn't have sk assess access to gang of eight, had to figure out who to interview. this is one of the biggest investigations that the hill has seen in my tenure here. >> you go to a footnote and you've then got to go back and get a document that supports that footnote. we want to catch any of those individuals out in public. we want to assess whether it's appropriate to see them, and you might think it is appropriate. we have to know what the right questions are to ask. to do that, you have to have the underlying documents. [ inaudible ] >> i knew you were going to ask that, and i will not say, but i want to make sure the inteigence committee knows so have been very responsive, some less so, but to do our job we have to have this information. >> let me answer on behalf of the agencies. not every document that an agency holds is the product of that agency. so it is impossible from a legal standpoint for one agency to provide another agency's document. the faster we can work throug

i mean, he was fast to get hillary clinton about the benghazi and all that. his sons made a lot of money from russia and all that. i believe actually that donald trump should be impeached. than all that. do you know what i mean? personally, i think he is got a lot more ties with russia then what people think. host: go ahead. guest: it is the million-dollar question, the ties with russia. that is ultimately going to be the guts of the investigation. was there any kind of collusion and between campaign officials and moscow? as lawmakers have said, we have seen her haps circumstantial evidence, at most, but there are still a lot of unanswered questions for lawmakers. host: west virginia, republican line. all smoke and mirrors. they have said there was nothing to it many times. they keep dragging this on. clapper, we trust james like a rattlesnake. does keeping it up to keep it up. guest: well, certainly, mr. trump, or president trump, and his associates would characterize this as a witch hunt. they have repeatedly disavowed any collusion or connection and betwee

reporter: one, robust funding for embassy security, citing benghazi [indiscernible] does that mean there will be an increase, considering all the criticism that the president and republicans alleged against president obama for supposedly cutting embassy security? dir. mulvaney: that is one of the line items we leave up to secretary tillerson. he and i have talked about the state apartment budget and how he decides to allocate that. it may be that there are some embassies that do not need a lot more security, and some that do, so we give him the flexibility to do that. the gentleman in the back had a question. countries around the globe [indiscernible] getting usmpanies aid would not leave the u.s. supporting terrorism -- how does president trump feel about those countries? will they continue the aid? dir. mulvaney: i come back to what the president said on the campaign trail, that he wants to spend less money overseas. to your question because this came up the other day, which is the hard power versus soft power, there is a very deliberate attempt to send a message to our allies and frie

you remember when the republicans used benghazi and what happened there as a cujil to beat hillary clinton, and without, you know-- their effort was-- and it was successful, it must bealded-- to weaken her as a political candidate. but it also had a chilling effect opt bureaucracy. it makes the bureaucracy risk averse, and, quite frankly, that's not something that we want from our diplomats. it's not something we want from our special operators. we want them to be graestles. we want them to take risks. and when we elevate the blame, when something goes wrong, all the way to the presidential level, we just have to be very careful about how we do that. >> sreenivasan: colin, why does it take so long? what kinds of input factor into a decision like this? >> look, i think that the obama administration can be criticized for too much micromanagement of the pentagon. i think, you know-- you know, the question is did they swing the pendulum too far in one direction? but i worry that president trump in the first big decision that came to his, in this case dinner table, as commander in chief, he swu

. >> remember him from the benghazi hearings. republican representative jim jordan of the state of ohio talking about the health care bill. his own party just introduced. this bill is exposing a deep divide that puts the white house and congressional leadership at odds with many rank and file members of their own party. president trump just sent -- set a meeting rather loudest critics of the health care bill, the freedom caucus. he has invited them to go bowling at the white house. robert costa and nicole wallace still with us. robert the headline to your piece, you touched on this in the first segment, trump goes into deal making mode, works behind the scenes on health bill. and boy are you right. that is not the way we are used to seeing him operate, but none of this is the way we are used to seeing anything operate. imagine a bill being walled d.o.a. by some republicans on day one, day two. >> it's a striking situation. it's a tough situation for house speaker paul ryan and president trump. you have a group of 30 to 40 lawmake

in benghazi, our professional staff had to go out and figure out what intelligence they needed to ask for. didn't have access to gang of eight. had to figure out who to interview. and so i'm not going to tell you this one's easier. this is one of the biggest investigations that the hill has seen in my tenure here. >> and just to add, you know, the challenging of the times. you go to a footnote and you've got to go back. any of those individuals that are out in the public, we'll have to assess whether it's appropriate to see 'em. many of you might think it will be appropriate. we've got to know what the right questions are to ask. and to do that, you've got to have the underlying documents. >> not scheduled. >> senator warnner, there are challenges [ inaudible ] agencies in particular that are -- >> i knew you were going to ask that. and i'm going to not say, but i want to make sure the intelligence community knows, some have been very responsive, some less so. but to do our job, we have to have this information. >> and let me answer on behalf of the agencies. not every document that a

and lied about benghazi and if they go back and check out, i'd say that is where the leaks is coming from. disagree withly i you about that and, you know, felt, president obama should have been checked, too. i don't agree with your again, i'm sure there's people that seat on any government program or other programs, but the amount is so little we put one more brush on stamps hat are on food or on welfare or get help from the government, which i think is truly unfair. host: robin kelly, the representative from illinois, member he democrats and of foreign affairs and oversight ommittee and black caucus, thank you for your time this morning. in the last hour, open phones is what we'll offer you. yesterday's ent on f.b.i. hearing, process of to a care that goes possible vote thursday, neil gorsuch testify nothin senate confirmation hearings. up for grabs. 202-748-8000 for democrats. 202-748-8001 for republicans. and independents, 202-748-8002. take calls when we come right back. >> in case you missed it, here are clips of c-span programming week.ast congresswoman elizabeth este on health

she went on five sunday shows and lied about the benghazi attack. well, she's back to teach the president a lesson on telling the truth. that's just crazy. ♪ z2a1gz zx9z y2a1gy yx9y at crowne plaza we know business travel isn't just business. there's this.

. >> joining us now is south carolina chairman trey gowdy he chaired the chairman on benghazi so he is no stranger into running into partisan politics when he runs an investigation. he joins us from greenville. i want to start with this question of unmasking that chairman nunes brought out, has he shown you any of what caused him to suggest that obama officials are doing surveillance, captured some trump campaign associates and then unmasked them in the process of investigating? >> he has not shown it to me, johns, i am vaguely familiar with it, no more, no less familiar with it than adam schiff is. i will just tell you this. my understand is chairman nunes briefed the commander in chief on matters unrelated to the russian investigation, so if that is big deal in washington, then we have sunk to a new low. >> dickerson: well, i guess congressman schiff would say, but the president is the one that is a part of this investigation being done by the committee, so the chairman shouldn't be talking to him. >> well, then, let me repeat what i say. that chairman of house intel briefed the chai

in benghazi, our professional staff had to go out and figure out what intelligence they needed to ask for, did not have access to gang of eight, had to figure out who to interview. i am a going to tell you that this one is easier. this is one of the biggest investigations the hill has seen in my tenure here. >> the challenge has been that -- any of footnote the individuals out in the -- we have to know what the right questions are to ask and to do that you have to have the documents. mentioned that it is so challenging to get information from the ic. are there particular agencies that are being challenging? >> i want to make sure the intelligence community knows that some have been very responsive, some less so, but to do our job, we have to have this information. >> let me answer on behalf of the agencies. not every document that an agency holds is the product of that agency. so, it is impossible from a legal standpoint for one agency to provide us another agencies document. the faster we can work through who has ownership rights, the quicker we can ask the appropriate agency for a s

saying you have put a cloud over the administration that can't be shaken and is reminiscent of the benghazi hearings with hillary clinton. sometimes the worst thing for a administration is a drip, drip, drip of information because every detail gets interpreted and chewed on without the entire picture. there's enough smoke here that the democrats feel they can keep this going quite some time. there's no feeling this is over for the administration any time soon. >>> to the congressional gridlock that we have seen all over capitol hill in particular when we look back on the health care debate. he was asked about how republicans might move forward on massive legislation like health care with the house freedom caucus or without them. intriguing answer. >> i think if there's going to be any dialogue on health care, we have to build the bill from the center out. i don't think this should be a partisan only exercise. the white house is making concessions to many on the hard right who are not going to vote for the bill any way and in the process, they ended up alienating many members on the senate r

look at the republicans who would be penalized over a benghazi, they investigated hillary for lots of stuff and never found anything wrong. they could never make anything stick. all those republican should be in jail. that is silly. if the democrats had any subpoena power, which they do not, they would already be an investigation. if one shoe falls, every week, something new comes out, the president does not seem to be angry at the people that are lying to him, just angry they got caught. he is angry the press outed them . we have to have a free press. thomas jefferson said if i had to live in a country with no free press or a country with free press and no government, i would choose the later. this country's freedom is based on that and the first thing a dictator does and vladimir putin did this, when they get in power, they destroy the free press. it seems like this war on the press, it is so obvious that that is what donald trump is trying to do. we have never had this before in this country. .his has to be looked into if there is nothing there, that is great, people can have more

. >> if they're not about benghazi what is the point. ridiculous. >> am i a perfect throw for three, two? >> you're a perfect point five to one. >> how did you fail a hair drug test? >> take a look, andy. not hard to tell. >> alright. >> i will see you in hell. >> how long ago was that? >> this was back when hair grew on top of my head. >> now it makes sense. trump's messy desk. matt, two studying desks this. seems to me it means what you want based on how you feel about the person. his december is being messy he's disorganized and won't get anything done. or he's a creative type thinking outside of the box. it's what we need. th>> like the studies you like o talk about, tom. the republicans like better coffee then democrats. late capitalism has produced a lot of crap. >> by the way you see the papers on nixon's desk. what were those the pentagon papers? thank you, very much. >> that old chest nut. >> thank straight from the mind of andy levy. >> you say the desks are messy. >> yes. >> the guns are properly stored. >> absolutely. one sid

he has a lot of intelligence sources including the guys who saved the soldiers in benghazi. >> if chairman nunes comes to the realization this was an unforced error. he should have collude in adam schiff and the other members of the committee before going to the intelligence source and the president all alone. but again, when you think about the iranian deals with hillary clinton, when you think about president obama saying i'll have more flexibility after my election. you never heard the democrats say anything about that. liz: he made news with billion o'reilly last tonight when he said they have known about this. >> we have known about this long before trump sent out his famous tweet on trump tower. we had sources that provided us with that information. i needed a place where i could go and find this information and review it. liz: everybody agreed there should be an investigation into alleged meddling by the russians. shouldn't there be another investigation into possible white house spying on trump aides? that's an allegation there. >> who is all there unmasking individuals? who is rel

you do your research you will have realize i was an extremely harsh critic of hillary clinton over benghazi? jesse: i did and i found you to be a trump hater as well. and i think you should be ashamed of yourself for putting down this poor widow and saying the entire country is out of bounds for applauding beautiful moments. everybody in america thought this was a beautiful moment except you and a few kooks. >> sure, whatever. jesse: you throw in with the people on "the view" and bill maher, that's fine. before it was about her, it wasn't about your political agenda. >> i don't have a political agenda actually. too maybe if you served you would have a better perspective. god bless america. kimberly: your comments on president trump's wiretapping accusations have been coming in. i will be here with you again at 10:00 p.m. on the greg gutfeld show. you have next, "justice with judge jeanine." spirit welcomed the "red eye." i'm tom shillue. let's check in with tv's andy levy. >> coming up on the big show print y or millennials buying cars? the answer will drive you nuts. you are welcome. a nor

when she repeatedly said this about the benghazi terror attack. >> what sparked the recent violence was the airing on the internet of a very hateful, very offensive video, a direct result of a pain as an offensive video sparked by this hateful video. rob: the obama administration admitted the attacks had nothing to do with any internet video. abby: the professor who call the election of resident of an act of terrorism was nominated for an award. the president and vice president, one of the most anti-gay human. our nation is divided, it is an act of terrorism. >> she made headlines with that rent in december, she teaches psychology at orange college in california where her colleagues just nominated her for faculty member of the year. she turned the award down. no word on why. rob: ellen degeneres dislocated her finger and visited the hospital. explaining how this happened. >> in gymnastics you do 1-handed cartwheel and spread the weight evenly between your fingers, i had two glasses of wine and fell into a door. rob: the comedian awarding herself a $10,000 check. heitkamp an unfortunate

i don't know in 2017 we can put together a committee like that because we saw it in benghazi. the benghazi committee, although they kept saying over and over they were trying to proceed politically it got bogged down. theyee be able to deal with this and this is, by the way in the white house's self interest. we got three years and ten months, you know, in this administration at least, very first term. they need to get this settled to move forward, because the next time they go up to the hill, after the defeat they had on healthcare, they want to do tax reform, tax reform is harder. they need to get this behind them or this is going to dog them at every step moving forward. >>> also, of national note this week, of course, the tragic situation that happened over at rockville high school this week, as you well know, the story 14-year-old girl brutally raped in a bathroom in the high school. it has resparked this debate over immigration policy in our region. two of the suspects under arrest right now. >> and they're from central america, they were here in the united states illega

far from our mind in the region and libya and has launched air strikes against a group known as the benghazi oilnse brigade that seized rigs, driving prices higher. let's get to anthony dipaola. anthony, welker's through the impact on production. we have seen a price rise. -- anthony, walk us through the impact on production. anthony: this is a very volatile situation for libya, also for oil prices. this is one of those big unknown situations where we know production can increase. there is no certainty about how damaged fields have been there. one of the main dockage ages though is exports. when these ports switch the twin hands, one group versus another or they are blocked for political reasons or to get leverage, that really just takes the knees out of the production there, because they can't get it out of the country. it's a very fluid situation and will continue to impact the market because more production is bad news, as it were, for opec's plan to cut production and reduce prices. we will see that vacillating back and forth. yousef: how is it going with the program coming oversupply in

plenty of clashes between libya's armed forces and a militia group known as the benghazi defense brigade have interrupted oil supplies this week. the rebels that seized oil terminals and infrastructure in the divided country, east. we have the details. >> to begin with, walk us through the actual impact on production. we did see a price rise. are investors getting ahead of themselves and misjudging the impact? >> this is a very volatile situation in libya for production and exports and oil prices. it is a big, unknown situation where we know production can increase. there is uncertainty about how damaged fields have been through work there. one of the main blockages is the exports. when these ports switch between hands of one group versus another, or they are blocked for political reasons or to get leverage, that takes the knees out of production because they cannot get it out of the country. it is a very fluid situation. it will continue to impact the market because more production is bad news for opec's plan to try to cut production and increase prices. we will see that going back-and-

expertise, let me remind you, the last public investigation that we did was the senate investigation into benghazi. we devoted three professional staff to that investigation. it took one year, and in comparison to the public hearings that happened in the house, our report and findings were out much quicker than what they were, and i think are consistent with in fact what the house process looked like at the end. so let me share with you what we've accomplished to date. we have devoted seven professional staff positions to this investigati. these are staffers who already had the clearance and already had the knowledge of the materials that they were going to look at that started on day one. now what was day one? day one was the first public hearing that the committee held with director clapper, director comey, admiral rogers and director brennan. when they came to the united states senate to testify on the completion of the ica, the report of the last administration on russia's involvement in the election. full committee had an opportunity to ask every one of the four ic members of initial question

when you look at benghazi select committee, it's staffed up. about 40 staffers all doing the investigation. right now you have the regular order committees, intel in the house and in the senate. haven't stafd up or received more resources. because of that with everything else on their plates, a lot, it's unreasonable to expect them to do a serious investigation into a matter this serious. >> i want -- >> well, what is the matter? i'm not being flippant. what is the matter evan? >> well, jack, i'm surprised you would ask. first and foremost, our greatest strategic foreign adversary interseeded in our election in multifacetted campaign to disrupt and influence the election -- >> but we know that and being investigated and 17 intel committees know that and reported to congress and say there's no collusion -- >> they reported. >> the matter is anti-trumpers aren't satisfied with -- >> jack you're answering your own question. >> why so opposed if there's nothing there? intel agencies came out and said that russia did this in limited document, limite

they talked about the way the senate panel handled benghazi terror attacks, which was highly politicized and a hot potato for quite some time. as for this investigation, chairman burr said it's early in the process. >> we would be crazy to try to draw a conclusion from where we are in the investigation. i think mark and i have committed to let this process go through before we form any opinions. and i would hope that that's what you would like us to do. as much as we would like to share minute by minute, the snap shots that we get as a team going through it are not always accurate when we find the next piece of intelligence. so let us get a little deeper into this before you ask us to write the conclusions. >> the senate intelligence chairman tried to re-assure the american people that this panel will follow the information wherever it takes them. >> we will always say to you, this investigation scope will go wherever the intelligence leads it. it's crucial that every day we spend trying to separate fact from fiction and define some intelligence thread that sends us to the factual side o

the bigger question is is that hillary clinton had her server exposed in june about the benghazi investigation. everything in there was an altered, it was just on earth. having said that, that was just as detrimental to her as the bush tape was to him. who deletes that? i don't know. who put his tax returns on the front page of "the new york times"? i don't know. these are hacks, they're unfortunate, but they're part of the playing field. >> meghan: wikileaks is out again, this time releasing a trove of alleged cia secrets. who may behind it was sleek and is there anything that have a administration can do to stop it from happening again? plus, women being urged to walk off the job today. thousands rallying in new york city right now and house dems planning to walk out themselves any minute right now in a nationwide protest. it is us a good way to raise awareness of women's right or is it just one big hassle? >> shutting down the school to have a day off on friday makes it tough for a lot of people you don't let anything keep you sidelined. that's why you drink ensure. with 9 grams of protein

keep in mind, i didn't sign the letter before the benghazi committee to the department of justice. there were a half-dozen false statements. there has to be intent to deceive. none of which i have no evidence of. i would not prosecute the case because i'm guaranteed to lose it. >> where do you think this is leaking out. it sound like it appears it's coming out of the government whatever the conversations with the russian ambassador and the attorney general and two other people in the room. does it seem that the intelligence kmocommittee is an grip wi angry with the president for things he said? >> i don't know. we had director come me this morning and i want every facet of this investigated. i want every facet of their attempts to interfere or influence with any facet of our society investigate it all. congress is not equipped to investigate crime. we don't have the tools to do it. we are welcome to investigate allegations of constitutional injury but allegation of criminal activity we are not cool equipped to do. this disclosure involved highly classified information. the gatherin

exposed things on benghazi we never would've seen but for his work. the same is true with the usama bin laden documents. the question is, what are the documents? i don't thickly know enough about what he has to draw any conclusions about whether it is or is not, whether this is the scandal that mollie suggested it is. we need to learn more. >> shannon: will have to stay tuned, and we hope you will stay tuned. the panelists coming back. next up, trouble in russia and more american troops headed to the middle east. stay with us. ♪ speak of the united states wrongly condemns the conductions throughout russia on sunday. the detention of people pro stutters, human rights observers, journalists, is an affront to democratic values. the united states will monitor the situation and recall the government of russia to immediately release all peaceful protesters. >> the kremlin respects people's civil stance and the right to voice their positions. we can't express the same position to those who consciously mislead people. >> shannon: we are back with the panel.

obama didn't apologize about the benghazi attack on the embassy, didn't apologize even though knew it was correct. donald trump is missing opportunity to talk about things that got him elected. i hope change the narrative, talk about the outof control narrative. >> that's a great pivot but didn't answer my question. >> i did. number one. i think he has something there. we know the "new york times" on january 20th said wiretapping data -- >> that's not what it said. read the story. i have it here. >> "new york times" on january 20th, wiretap data used in inquiry. >> intercepted russian communications. never said anything about trump tower, donald trump himself, nothing about that. not what it says. i've read this before. only two times it mentioned wiretapping was in conjunction with sergey kislyak which is how flynn got caught up, monitoring russian ambassador which is normal intelligence. said nothing about monitoring american citizen. second time, only mentioned wiretap twice, second time with jeff sessions said that jeff sessions, at that time a nominee would be the only person in

conversation of how similar it is to the conversation we were having years ago about hillary clinton and benghazi and that being called a witch hunt and the problem here is that in both cases there was so much partisan ship it was hard to get to the truth and the american people deserve the truth. as a republican i can tell you i am extremely disappointed by the way the house intel committee is conducting this investigation. i think the chair is ir redeemably tainted. i think he is compromised. i think he is torn between his loyalties to a president he supported strongly, that he was a surrogate for, he was in the transition team for and a committee and an intelligence investigation that is leading to places that he doesn't want it to lead. there is such a world of difference between how the senate is conducting its bipartisan investigation and what is happening in the house and i think it's high time that republican leadership start taking a good look at what's happening in the house intel committee and ask themselves a question. is devin nunes capable of conducting an impartial investigation? b

the hash tags were nuclear, trump, benghazi. >> the level of coordination that we're learning about as they play the predicate for the circumstances and potential consequences of this. what is striking you? >> one of the things that came out that was stressed was trying to figure out ways to use america's democracy against itself. right? get disinformation out there, raise the amount of information that was private, meant to be prooismt, mixing that in with the fake news, right? that confusion, using the democracy against itself. it works in the u.s. and others. >> i think something that had people asking questions. the fact that he wanted to go, and the obama administration said we don't want to do that right now, they didn't like the idea of an op-ed. what do you make about that and what do you know about your time and the kfgss you had with individuals working in that white house. >> i left the white house by that point, but from what i hear from my colleges is changing of information at this point, it's not entirely the way that news week story makes it house. >> how do they say it

some of the same names that he brought forward, same names we dealt with on the benghazi committee, that's important information too and what he was trying to get at with the fbi director is are you going to investigate those people and find out who in fact leaked this information. >> you have big things on your plate. appreciate you coming on to discuss them. have you back soon. >> more on the russia investigation. did house intel chairman compromise his committees a ability to investigate by giving the president the info before his own colleagues? we're going to have a debate and hear both sides. how do you become america's best-selling brand? you're not going to make it. do you think you can make it? uhh... make it... every time. nice! going further to keep drivers moving freely. that's ford... and that's how you become america's best-selling brand. start here. at fidelity, we let you know where you stand, so when it comes to your retirement plan, you'll always be absolutely...clear. it's your retirement. know where you stand. >> they'll hear from witnesses for him in the supreme court.
