a Fox News Alert Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said to make his third trip to
North Korea Thursday to meet once again with leader kim jeong-hoon this is a
leaked report from US intelligence officials cast new doubt on North
Korea's willingness to abandon its nuclear weapons program despite Kim
signing an agreement with President Trump during their summit last month Fox
News senior strategic analyst General Jack keen weighing in all of that could
have been in the works before the agreement that he had with the president
I know that that Mike Pompeo really understands what needs to be done and
what he wants from them is simply this he wants them to tell him where all of
their nuclear sites are located if they don't give him that then we don't really
have a deal meantime President Trump tweeting earlier quote many good
conversations with North Korea it is going well
exclamation point in the meantime no rocket launchers or nuclear testing in
eight months all of Asia is thrilled only the opposition party which includes
the fake news is complaining if not for me we would now be at war with North
Korea David this is part of the negotiation
and really Secretary of State Mike Pompeo his job to get a list of all the
nuclear sites and also put together potentially a timeline of the
denuclearization activities Mike Pompeo has said he hopes to achieve major
disarmament of North Korea's nuclear programs in the next two and a half
years john bolton said on sunday could be a year all very positive and
promising steps and kudos to secretary Pompeo for the direction he's leading
this it's my understanding from administration folks that a favorable
deal the framework is now in place and these still needs to be negotiated and
and Before we jump in that oh but they're not abiding by the deal
they're moving things around we let everybody know we know what they're
doing so if North Korea thinks they're gonna get away with something we know
what's going on let's make sure we keep these in honest and factual discussion
here with North Korea and we're gonna get a favorable deal well that's such an
important point to make I interviewed the former deputy assistant to Secretary
of State Colin Powell yesterday and Robert Charles told me this he said look
you can talk about all the movement of things that we have satellite images of
and those things on the ground but those are non nuclear devices that we know of
and he said don't get your sights off what we're trying to negotiate right now
some of that is gonna go the politics at home for Kim jong-il may drive some of
that but the nuclear deal is the in-game here
and what we ultimately want out of this is a denuclearized North Korea and then
we can start moving to the next big issue we have with them is making sure
they're not hacking into our systems they have some of the best let's hope we
get to hear the rights to yes you have to start somewhere and and you have to
believe that the tweets that the president sending off
he knows that Kim jong-un reads those so it's going directly remember that MS
that amazing it is that the world we live in today and the way we communicate
is fascinating but you remember that period of time where were some of john
bolton and others were comparing what we were gonna do with North Korea to Libya
and they obviously put that whole thing that happened they pulled back so he
knows they're paying very close attention I think the frustration of the
American people have though is you get up in the morning and you read his tweet
you say everything's going great and then you read these reports from you
know sources that want to be unnamed saying that they're actually doing the
complete opposite of North Korea so there's a real confusion out there and I
think a frustration of what is actually going on are we making progress with
North Korea I believe that Mike Pompeo is doing a great job he's going back
over there on Thursday this week and he's been dealing with this from the
very beginning and you hope that he is having this consistent dialogue and we
ultimately get to make the monitors match the word right just but the most
important thing to watch I would argue being a business reporter is the
sanctions relief and not taking the we've pressed with maximum sanctions
relief and there's actually been even China loosening its enforcement of those
sanctions after the summit slightly smugglers being allowed to move goods
across the border that's troubling that's the one thing that has brought
among all others brought in with Korea to the table and we cannot allow a
phased in the sanctions relief approach with you know we give them economic
carrots and then North Korea ultimately as Kim Jong Un's father and grandfather
did then they never do nuclear well dictators gotta eat too right I mean
this is something very well yes actions are obviously the way forward we're but
playing down the fact that there would be a third nuclear facility that we
didn't know about and that intelligence officials are just releasing these
satellite images of completely flies in the face of the administration's
narrative that things are going well nuclear facility yes yeah I mean it's a
major deal and I can't even imagine what would be going on if this was President
Obama trying to negotiate with Kim jong-un and then oh lo and behold a
nuclear facility pops up that we didn't know about any tweets Oh things are
hunky-dory here or short-range non-nuclear that's why I'm saying don't
match today it gets to the point that I've been arguing for with diplomacy
that you are going to have to negotiate with people like this man who will do
anything in his power to continue to needle us and to threaten say the same
thing though and tell me what's wrong we're now right or apparently which is
what poster about levin say but we're now that Jill was done and yeah you know
they went around Congress's back and the American people getting five point seven
billion dollars trying to get out of the US base it got so bad the US Bank said
we were not willing we're gonna talk about we are later but I've said point
blank that whatever deal we inked with North Korea better doggone not look like
the one that we did with her well it would be nice if other people were
championing this approach true it took that tack as well and said this is nice
if we could have seen those side deals than the deal that Obama cried maybe
things continue to do so maybe you will get there one day
you know this facility it was not certainly not what they discussed when
Trump and this is wrong on Matt and it is a big blow to the administration and
what he's trying to think that the Secretary of State won't address this as
the negotiations continue because again a deal hasn't been put together there's
the frame there's the idea of a deal there's some you know there's a
framework but again that's Secretary of State month and at least they don't
transparent so well we didn't know about that facility that's not being true
about the information that they turn over there were satellite images that US
intelligence officials were able to get we got it we gotta go a lawyer for where
embattled anti-trump FBI agent Peter struck now accusing House Republicans of
twisting his testimony and alleging that an invitation for struck to technique
let's talk about that attorney for embattled FBI official Peter struck he
sent anti-trump messages those text messages remember well now the attorney
is accusing House Republicans of selectively leaking portions of his
clients private testimony last week the attorney made the allegation in a letter
sent to the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees saying quote having
sharpened their knives behind closed doors the committee would now like to
drag back Special Agent struck and have him testify in a public at public
request that we originally made and that the committee denied what's being asked
of the special agent struck is to participate and what anyone can
recognize as a trap given that the committee is playing political games
violating our trust and its own rules it no longer makes sense for us to keep
playing along in quote your thoughts the fact that they are complaining about
leaks going on you wonder have they been watching this investigation this
committee has done nothing but leak and get out there and it really goes back to
if you have nothing to be concerned about you don't mind going and
testifying before the committee and what we're now starting to see is now you're
gonna start having call me and strike and all these individuals at the FBI at
the center of this brouhaha now all out trying to defend themselves
and get ready and get your popcorn because it's gonna start being dem on
dem fighting oh hi our Democrat friends on the couch yeah so two things one if
you've not got nothing to hide you think the president is gonna sit down with Bob
Muller they are determined that he is made very clear he's willing to do it oh
but then he said that he under the advice of his lawyers that's what
everybody says that's what Michael Cohen said yes yeah but even whether or not a
private about any payouts or anything like that that's whatever we know that
pleading the fifth doesn't mean that your that's not the same as know we
never had based on the counsel of my attorney but keener struck originally at
least it was reported did want to sit in front of a paternity and decided again
we obviously don't know what really goes on in these things
he will have to I imagine plead the fifth to a number of questions and that
will then make him look if he does do a public hearing will then make him look
guilty for these things we have seen the text messages in terms of leaking or
completely corrupt people on both sides the aisle on the
committees have been leaking non-stop so I'm sure there are selective messages
that we've seen and selective output from the meeting last week we heard very
little about it but it was certainly different what I heard on the DEM side
from what the Republicans heard on their side there so I would say it would be
best for him to get out there and at least speak to the American people
directly like Rob Rosenstein and Christopher Rea did quite effectively
last week if he is gonna have to say I can't answer that question the implicit
understanding then is that is guilty of Rosenstein and Christopher Rea is that
they are not you know they're not in the crosshairs of this investigation I think
they're not text messages saying that they want to try to keep EE talk about
whether president trying to fire rod Rosen made a complete fool of the FBI
and I don't care if you're a Republican or a Democrat you should be ashamed a
Peter struck and the way he handled this investigation I can't figure him out
because at first he said he wanted to sit down with them Congress gave him a
number of dates apparently he said he wasn't able I don't know what he's busy
doing that's more important than that they almost had to subpoena him
personally I would love a public hearing because I think a lot of American people
want to hear him answer some of those very serious questions about why he
handled things the way that he did in the early days of them yes let me pull
let me pull my Walmart shopping she's either in Virginia but up to the TV with
a big barrel of popcorn and watch this testify in front of the American people
that's exactly what I'm sitting next to you it's like Mystery Science Theater
with Peter struck but that's what everybody wants to see and we can cut
through all the posturing and by the way for him to come up come out initially
and say I'll appear in front of your committee that I had nothing but
problems we'll also want to see consequences how can you get away with
that and then nothing happens to you in the end we'll we will see how this plays
out we'll stop it he hurts to the core and then the insurance policy again
after the Russia probe was started right well on that note meanwhile new
developments in the Russian investigation special counsel Robert
molar and lawyers for former national security adviser Michael
