President Trump called Wednesday for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to end
special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation right now alleging bias on
the investigative team and complaining about the trial of his former campaign
chairman this is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions
should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it continues to stain our
country any further Trump tweeted Bob Mueller is totally conflicted and his
seventeen angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work hard disgrace to USA the
tweet renewed Democratic complaints that Trump is wrongly challenging the
independence of the special counsel Trump has repeatedly blasted the probe
as a witch-hunt but the call for sessions to intervene represents another
escalation sessions however already recused himself last year handing off
oversight Deputy Attorney General rod Rosen's time so he is unlikely to act a
Justice Department spokesperson had no comment on the tweet when reached by Fox
News another source familiar with the investigation downplayed the
implications of the tweet as Trump previously has vented his frustration
with both the Russia probin sessions recusal from it Trump lawyer
Rudy Giuliani said in a statement we have been saying for months that it is
time to bring this inquiry to an end the president has expressed the same opinion
Trump afterward tweeted concerns about the trial of ex campaign boss Paul
Manafort which entered its second day on
Wednesday morning Paul Manafort worked for Ronald Reagan Bob Dole and many
other highly prominent and respected political leaders he worked for me for a
very short time why didn't the government tell me that he was under
investigation these old charges have nothing to do
with collusion a hoax he tweeted Trump went on to target the anti Trump dossier
and for our investigators who exchanged
anti-trump text messages the president has previously tried to assert that
Mueller is conflicted based on a claim that he turned him down for FBI director
his ties to fired bureau boss James Comey and other issues
Trump has long complained about the presence of Democratic donors on the
Mueller team but Democratic lawmakers have warned Trump and his allies about
encroaching on the Mueller probes independence in response to Wednesday's
tweet Rep Adam Schiff Democrat California top Intelligence Committee
Democrat said this is an attempt to obstruct justice hiding in plain sight
America must never accept it after a conservative House members unveiled
arose and signed impeachment resolution top House Democrats last week also noted
that Mueller has already obtained over two dozen indictments and said any
attempt to take action against Mueller or Rosen Stein will be viewed by
Congress and the American people as further proof of an effort to obstruct
justice with severe consequences for Trump and his presidency as Trump issued
his call mana Ford's trial for tax and bank fraud charges unrelated to Russian
meddling was moving into full swing his defense teams opening day strategy was
to try and undermine the Mueller team star witness
Rick gates who was men affords deputy in business and at the Trump campaign the
attorneys argued Gates was the one who transferred all the money into accounts
including consulting fees collected from Ukrainian political figures they said he
was embezzling money and later lied about it to investigators before
agreeing to flip and testify against man afford but the Mueller team contends man
afford bank girl'd a luxurious globe-trotting lifestyle with money he
wasn't paying taxes on assistant u-s attorney Yuzo ass and i told the jury
Tuesday that Manafort considered himself above the law as he funneled tens of
millions of through offshore accounts to pay for
personal expenses such as a $21,000 watching to $15,000 jacket made of
ostrich all of these charges boil down to one simple issue that Paul Manafort
lied asinine said man afford placed himself and his money over the law later
Wednesday Trump tweeted again putting mana forked up against my boss Alphonse
Capone known by the nickname Scarface who was charged with tax evasion
looking back on history who was treated worse Alphonse Capone legendary mob boss
killer and public enemy number 1 or Paul Manafort political operative and Reagan
doe darling now serving solitary confinement
although convicted of nothing where is the Russian collusion Trump tweeted 734
in the East Coast are three California's better than one the state Supreme Court
does not think so California's High Court unanimously
nixing a proposal to split California into three separate states the measure
will no longer appear in the ballot this November a defeat for the long shot push
to divide the country's most populous state joining us right now is Fox News
Channel's Jeanine Pirro author of Liars leakers and liberals the
case against the anti-trump conspiracy judge good to see you this morning good
to be with you let's talk first about this initiative before we get into the
book congratulations on the book by thank you we're gonna talk about it
this initiative to split the state of California into three states but it's
perfectly appropriate because California is wacky anyway so why not whack it up
one two or three times the problem was the court said look you can't do this
because it's got to be approved by the state legislature 2/3 of the state
legislature it wasn't approved so the court said we're not going to put it on
the ballot that doesn't mean that they won't try to do it again they've
actually tried to do it before when they tried to cut the state into six parts
but they were talking about they wanted to do Northern California Southern
California and then California and so they said not maybe it would have been
then to sanctuary states and and one not three sanctuaries the
Orange County portion will definitely not be a sanctuaries well I didn't know
the whole area around Riverside California you see it's in the red there
there are people always get really angry at at us when we talk about California
that all that last wingnut wildly liberal deep blue state because there
are a lot of people who are conservative and you've seen that locally with the
pushback on this sanctuary state law you've had mayor after mayor's step up
and say we're not abiding by that law yeah yeah that's right there there are
sections of California that are absolutely incensed with what the arrest
of California is doing but they still lived there well I had a driver in
Malibu and he was like whispering to me I like Trump on anybody around here I'm
like oh really says a Democratic candidate vying for Alaska's House seat
is sparking some controversy this morning the candidate is not an Alaskan
native in fact she's never even set foot on the state nor does she plan to
campaign in Alaska she's on the primary ballot Democratic officials are
questioning her authenticity judge you've been numb on a number of ballots
yourself yeah that's a game I'm familiar with but never for Congress look the
Constitution says number one you have to be a certain age and you have to be a
citizen to run for Congress and the only thing is you have to inhabit the state
at the time you're elected now this woman's from New Jersey she admits she's
not but she wants to run for Congress there so you said yourself why do you
want to run for Congress and she says because I feel a kinship to Alaska does
she care about the issues that the people of Alaska care about she says she
feels a kinship and she says I want to do good in a place that I feel a kinship
for she's never been there she doesn't plan on going there she plans on doing
it online I think she's gonna lose meanwhile
President Trump doubles down his support for the Intel community now
in a new interview last night the president said he holds Russian
President Vladimir Putin personally responsible from Moscow's interference
in the 2016 election you wrote a whole book about leakers and
Liars tell us what you think about this well I have to tell you the book it's so
appropriate that it came out that yeah because the president basically teed it
up like Monica's liberal ace against the empty Trump conspiracy era day here's
the thing with the with the meddling there's no question that were some medal
the president said it but the problem is that the intelligence community is the
one that cooked up these charges against him with a faith dossier presenting it
to a court knowing that Hillary Clinton paid for it and there's no wonder he's
skeptical it's such an incredible story it really is it is crazy believe it if
you're watching it in a movie what took place in the 2016 election but some in
the intelligence community we have to be careful Yeah right yes yes you're not a
statement judge we have to be careful these are some individuals yeah who were
up to no good yeah the teamwork that right the
leadership went wrong but not the entire no of course not and you know look I
worked with the FBI I've worked in law enforcement for over three decades I'm
an been a prosecutor a judge in a DA I get that they're good people but what
happened here was you had an administration that at the very top of
the FBI along with the top of the DOJ the rules were just thrown aside they
set up they teamed up a Russia collusion investigation when that's what the
insurance policy was all about remember the tweets and the emails will have an
insurance policy that was a ruse a collusion investigation and they started
planting the seeds in the event god forbid Donald Trump would be elected
they need to get over it they need to snap out of it the guise of President
the economy's great you guys are the business channel you know that and just
leave the guy alone I'm gonna ask you something on air and I'm curious to your
thought on this why in the name of all that is holy did President Trump keep
Jim Comey on as the head of the FBI because the way Jim Comey operated was
well known for years even when he was appear in New York and the Justice
Department as an attorney why don't cat
doesn't make any sense Edie two more questions to that why did he put you up
sessions in as DJ why did he put rod Rosenstein in there as deputy aj saying
so there's your question and there's my chippy somebody was giving him better
look I think on the one hand they made the decision to keep call me because
normally the FBI director is there for 10 years all right and it looks like you
know you're just being fair you know Cohn we did this on one side he did this
on the other side let's see who the guy is the president meets or the next thing
you know Jim Comey is writing these documents that he's going to use in the
event if he ever gets fired see no no Hillary Clinton though only no notes
you're right and I think the thing with Jeff Sessions was about Donald Trump
that he is a loyal man I've known him for decades you've known him for hundred
years as well you know so Jeff Sessions says I want to be the Attorney General
he was a US Attorney but he lost his prosecutorial hots Bob balls what he was
gonna recuse himself on all things no took the job begged the prison for the
job and then the next day recused himself and has been hiding in a closet
ever since because rod Rosen Stein who has every reason to make sure that the
Comey Muller group stays together and in power convince them to go in the closet
is he conflicted Rosen Stein because he's the guy also who who said yes
should the third warrant on the FISA warrant he signed off on the FISA
warrant for the third time when they renewed it
he is so conflicted Maria not just in terms of signing on the warrant he's the
one who told the president fire him I read the memo it was excellent all the
reasons to fire Jim Comey and now he's in charge of the investigation as to
whether or not the president inappropriately fired Jim Comey you
think that's a con I think was really interesting is that Peter Strock and
Lisa page are now contradicting each other Sunday right the that will stop it
and Peter struck said one I don't remember writing that message he said
behind closed doors he said he was referring to the American people again
don't spit in my face and tell me it's raining
well that is exactly what do you do don't believe your lyin eyes
and here's the bottom line the woman gets even yeah cage me what do you think
about the president declassifying a lot of this information I wanted to okay I
asked him when I interviewed him two weeks ago and he said he doesn't want to
get involved but right he might change his mind declassify this he needs you
want to know mr. president Maria we're singing the same town yeah
absolutely pick up Janine's book parents great to
see a judge who to be with you be here and there's the book liars leakers and
liberals the case against the anti-trump conspiracy
