money came we miss you good evening everybody I'm David Asman thanks for
watching I'm in for Lou Dobbs tonight's top stories the deep state stonewalling
drags on the Department of Justice misses another deadline to cooperate
with Congress and hand over documents related to the Russia witch-hunt we're
going to take it up tonight with Pennsylvania congressman Keith reference
plus the trade showdown with China begins after years of lying cheating and
stealing from the US the Chinese government now accusing the Trump
administration of behaving like quote hoodlums and Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo arriving in North Korea with a Rocketman CD for Kim jong-un you can't
make this up but his real message to the regime in Pyongyang will be no laughing
matter Gordon Chang is here to weigh in on the
latest round of negotiations but our top story the Justice Department again
failing to meet a deadline today to turn over key subpoenaed documents related to
the Russian investigation house freedom caucus chairman mark meadows has
threatened to either hold Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in
contempt of Congress or impeach Rosen side for failure to comply chief Intel
correspondent Catherine Herridge here now with the very latest David a source
close to the process tells FOX News that the newly available records do not fully
comply with congressional subpoenas and barring new developments tonight the
latest records do not meet the house resolution deadline three house
Republican Committee Chairman trey gowdy on oversight Devon Nunez on intelligence
and Bob Goodlatte on judiciary requested the records Fox News is told that House
staffers viewed records at the Justice Department Thursday because lawmakers
were out for the holiday recess concluding the Justice Department and
FBI are still withholding documents in April a subpoena was issued for a key
set of Records focused on FBI activities before the FBI Russia case officially
opened on July 31st 2016 the source of the Justice Department and FBI have not
provided all records or information about this critical time period that
likely show why the Russia probe started in the first place what put all of this
into motion and of course was what put all of this into motion something that
was politically motivated or was it in fact based on legitimate law enforcement
evidence FBI director Christopher ray and Deputy
Attorney General Rod Rosen's time were on Capitol Hill last week and faced new
pressure to comply after the passage of a non-binding house resolution along
party lines 226 to 183 those who know Rosenstein emphasized he's in a
difficult position because it's not routine they say to provide records from
ongoing cases I know rod Rosen's died I think he's an honorable person and I
think anybody in that position would take it personally if they're going to
say that you personally ever been obstructing Congress or holding things
back I think that he views himself as kind of the point of a spear in a
process and the one who has to interact with Congress congressionally for the
House Judiciary Committee said the Justice Department has provided more
records and asked for more time a spokesman for the Intelligence Committee
went further saying the department is not in compliance at Justice Department
spokeswoman declined to comment adding they will respond directly to the House
committees david catherine herridge thank you very much joining me now is
Pennsylvania congressman Keith Rothfuss he serves on the House Judiciary
Committee and the House Committee on financial services great to see a
congressman thank you for being here David good to be here with you tonight
and again very troubling that the Department of Justice and FBI again
dragging their feet I was just was just it was it was a it was the last time you
were here the same thing happened I mean this has to stop right well I'm just
reading a report today about new memos that are being reviewed and and there's
a memo in October of 2016 where a stroke is emailing something saying Madhavi
mccabe and having McCabe review the FISA warrant and hurry the F up yet what is
going on and why are they waiting forever to produce these documents we
have a legitimate responsible oversight of of the executive branch and they've
been dragging their feet the Inspector General who put his 500-page report
Hurwitz but I was report about several weeks ago we're producing texts that
we'd ever saw things like Peter struck again Peter struck always Peter struck
saying that we will stop him reaffirming to President Trump with then candidate
Trump in August 2016 so how do you make roses sign responsible accountable to
what's going on well I'd like to see what they have produced today I'm sure
the committee a committee is taking a look at that or when we get back to
Washington early next week we're gonna have to see what the scope of their
compliance is then and then you have to look at things like holding them in
contempt that you cannot continue to flaunt the people's representatives in
the United States Congress well I'm just reading forgive me for turning away from
the camera I'm gonna have to do that as I read an email from from our own
catherine herridge who's who's just reporting this as we speak that the
Department of Justice spokesperson Sarah Flores declined to answer Fox's
questions including allegations on the recently provided records were not
enough to satisfy the house clearly you're not satisfied so again the
question is specifically what do you threaten rod rosen Stein with if he
doesn't produce what you've asked for I think you start with looking at a
contempt proceeding again we have a legitimate inquiry out there they have
been dragging their feet for months these documents that they're being
reviewed again I'm just reading a report today about these emails from the FBI
and the Department of Justice that we should have known about months ago and
you look at that text message again the one I highlighted that we found out
about in the inspector general's report again why are they trickling out these
documents what is going on inside the Department of Justice inside the FBI
this is happening at the top levels I know many good people who are on
frontline attorneys frontline agents in the FBI in US Attorney's Office across
they're going to be doing it doing their job protecting this country and it's
unfortunate that you have folks at the headquarters who have not been
cooperative when it's Congress it looks like the what Rosenstein is
interested in is protecting the the deep the FBI and the DOJ I mean that's what
he is protecting because he's not releasing documents that you have to get
from the Inspector General and well there's a certainly a pattern there look
at the redactions that we had to have uncovered just a couple months ago with
respect to the House Intelligence Committee report were they were
redacting things that weren't trying to protect confidential sources or methods
but things that made the FBI not look too good this has to stop and this is
very frustrating that these agencies continue to flaunt the representatives
of the American people well one thing that you are doing is continue with your
hearings to try to get to the bottom of the Russian matter
you've got a very important hearing next Thursday is Peter struck gonna be
attending that's being worked out right now he's certainly looking forward to
his testimony he has been subpoenaed the conversations they're having as I
understand the conversations are ongoing between mr. stocks attorneys and the
committee and so I hope that he will come before and start to answer some of
the questions we have what do you do if he's a no-show
again you have to take one step at a time
and if he is a no-show we have to have some process that's gonna bring him in
now he was at a closed-door hearing last week what was he like at that hearing
what was his demeanor I know you can't be specific about what he said but how
did he say it because we've heard some interesting reports well you know I just
popped it a couple times to see what was going on and and he was responding to
the questions that were being asked I think there are a lot of questions that
need to be followed up on some of the answers again we have a responsibility I
think to have a hearing with him there and he can respond to what was going on
during that time position now we have heard some reports to be specific that
he had kind of a flippant manner that he was laughing off a lot of questions
rather than answering them directly can you be more specific about that I'm
looking for him to come before the committee and start to answer some of
the very difficult questions that need to be
answered about his conduct during the both the email investigation and during
the investigation of Russian collusion by the way next week is going to be a
very important week for your Judiciary Committee and in several ways not only
with your work with Peter struck but you're also going to be dealing with or
at least contemplating the new Supreme Court justice pick can you can you tell
us anything about that do you have a particular favorite among those who've
been mentioned well there are a number of every bit that has been mentioned is
is a very high quality there are a couple that have attracted my attention
one being one of my constituents Tom cardamon here in western Pennsylvania
Tom parted last time and I'm a Notre Dame law grad I know Tom went I know the
name undergrad would be great to have somebody from Notre Dame representative
he's actually he's actually my favorite I have to tell you just because he does
have a sense of the Midwest he's not that kind of inside the beltway guy like
Brett Kavanaugh who is displeased a number of conservatives including Ted
Cruz have said he wouldn't vote for him do you feel the same I would like to
know where Judge Cavanaugh I went to law school it would be nice to if we had
somebody beyond Harvard or Yale yeah represented on the court or Stanford
yeah there are good law schools out there and Notre Dame being one of them
and although Tom went to Georgetown I think Georgetown Law School but again
we're looking forward to the president's pick on Monday night and we'll have some
news that well and please let us know what happens with Peter struck whatever
you can tell us will be very interested please come back and see us again
Keith Rothfuss thank you so much for coming in tonight appreciate it good
talk with you tonight good talking with you coming up next China hitting back at
the US as the trade showdown between the two countries escalates we're gonna have
the Dean and Rollins is here to discuss that and much more stay with us
the trade showdown between the US and China is underway China imposing tariffs
on 34 billion dollars worth of u.s. goods today just hours after the Trump
administration imposed its own terror son roughly the same amount of Chinese
products China accusing the u.s. of typical I'm quoting here typical trade
bully the Trump administration says the tariffs are a response to China's theft
of American intellectual property and technology and other unfair trade
practices joining me now is the Dean himself at Rollins
chairman of Great America PAC in Hall of Fame political consultant Rollins served
as White House political director on President Ronald Reagan who even though
he was a free trader and we got to remember he he practiced some some tough
love and with regard to our trading parties right you have to do that I mean
obviously the critical question here is is what what President Trump is doing is
this is this tough love is this kind of a guidance of how we're going to deal in
the future or is it something that's going to have big consequences long term
and I'm gonna China 20 times the Chinese are very very tough they're very shrewd
they have a different system of it's not a corporation does anything that the
Communists let's let's spell it out it's a communist system so it's not the free
true it's not a free choice and and so you know it's just what I think I don't
think it's gonna be a short-term fight once it starts and I think we need to be
prepared for the long-term consequence and it begs a question they are a
communist government can you have a free trade agreement with a country that does
not believe in rule of law the the basis of communism is that that the rule of
law is whatever it happens to be to benefit the state they don't care about
adherence to the rule of law and clearly they have lied they have cheated and
they have violated every part of the World Trade Organization that they
signed into in 2001 I've always said to American companies that want to go do
business there and they're all interested in getting their deal unless
I've got a signed deal I said great where you going to get an enforced well
my lawyer says well your lawyers aren't going to get done in everything and
everything in Asia is about relationships and this is everyone gonna
be real test she she and Trump started off on on a good footing they do and I
think to a certain extent they're two tough guys one guys gonna be there
forever in the sense of sure as long as he wants and and I think Trump needs to
be tough and firm and very clear to the American public what he's doing there
are going to be consequences but the bottom line is free trade is great as
long as the trading partners abide by the rule as long as you have rule of law
and when you're dealing with a country that doesn't have rule of law because
it's a communist country you're not gonna have a fair trading partner to
deal with and equally as important the idea that you're going to hurt them you
know they've been through long Wars before and obviously we have to make
sure our farmers and everybody else understand this this consequences
long-term it'll be benefits but short term is going to be painful now we
brought them into the World Trade Organization understanding that they had
problems dealing with the rule of law because they're a communist country but
the idea was and I was working the Wall Street Journal at the time and The Wall
Street Journal had had views that perhaps if we open our doors to China
they will become more democratic well we opened our doors to China and they took
advantage of it they violated the rules and they have become less democratic and
as you mentioned she is now president for life so so it's gone exactly the
opposite of the way that free traders were hoping it would go well sometimes
hope and wishes are not are not the best that's death best policies policies my
sense is this has to be a real real exchange of strength this has to be a
real exchange of clear ideas and then and the Trump has to stay in this for
the long term all right now the markets as you saw
today we're totally unfazed they were much more affected by this terrific news
and the job front as long as as our economy continues to expand meaning that
more people are going to be be hired meaning that people who have lousy jobs
can trade up to a better job will any of this have a long-term effect
particularly as we approach an election I worry about the farm community and I
worry about because we are a party still of suburban and
voters and obviously long-term for them it'll benefit them but short term all of
a sudden there's a panic in the farm community and some of them start turning
and that'd be as intense on the vote as they have been in the past then I think
to certain extent it can hurt us so so looking at those farming States in
particular is special seed is is that where the Republicans should be focusing
now and and perhaps even cutting some deal with with China and perhaps the the
Europeans that would positively affect their trade relations with with the
farming community I'm not a traitor so I don't know I don't have expertise in
that on that front I do I do know politics and I do think there are some
consequences here that we're going to pay a little price and I think what
you've got to argue is let's just get through this midterm keep fighting on
the Trump policies but you know and don't try and weaken them in the short
term but the problem is we're in it now that whatever started we started the the
volleys today in the past 24 hours it may be ratcheted up again so the tie
I'm just wondering usually the president's timing is exquisite in this
case I'm wondering if the timing to to start this battle was right well I hope
we planned to go all the way we still have a very divided White House about
where we are and where we're going and we're certainly division of the business
community my senses we're now in the battle they certainly have made their
decisions and I mean in China and they're not going to roll over and play
dead they're not gonna give us a quick fix and Rollins great to see you my
friend thank you very much have a good weekend and be sure to vote in tonight's
poll do you believe it's time for deputy AG rod Rosenstein to face real
consequences for his continual stonewalling of congressional document

tonight coming up next new questions about a plea deal ignoring national
security violations political cover-up and the IT scandal linked to
congresswoman debbie Wasserman Schultz have you heard about this you may not
have you want to we're gonna be targeted the daily callers Luke rosy AK about
what's next in the case of Imran a1 right after a short break stay with us
and now to the biggest Beltway scandal that the mainstream media continues to
ignore almost entirely the Justice Department this week agreeing not to
prosecute debbie Wasserman Schultz's IT aide for House cybersecurity and theft
Imran a-one pleading guilty to minor bank fraud charges
he's expected to receive probation at his sentencing hearing on August 21 now
Juan was transferred transferring money from the Congressional Federal Credit
Union to Pakistan before trying to flee the country our next guest says many
crimes clearly took place in the Awan case but there is no will to prosecute
joining me now Daily Caller investigative reporter Luc Rosie act Luc
congratulations you're one of the few people has been working hard on this
story what was to the best of your knowledge and your suspicions what was a
1-up - this is a guy that had access to all the emails and files of one in five
members of Congress and when you talk to his relatives and people who know him
very well he's motivated by money this is a guy with an unstoppable quench for
money he'll do nothing he'll stop at nothing to get it and as part of his job
he had access to all this sensitive information he also was in charge of
ordering computer equipment for Congress a lot of it hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth and so what investigators found is two separate things number one
was a financial scheme in the House of Representatives where invoices were
being falsified so that hundreds of thousands of dollars of computers were
not tracked they were treated like petty cash and then the second thing which is
more worrisome is that he was accessing members of Congress as computers and
logging into their personal usernames in ways that he had no legitimate reason
for doing so and when you talk to people who know him very well in his background
and all through his past this is a guy who's been repeatedly accused of what's
essentially extortion so that's what we worry about here is the leverage that he
has over metal and it was also what worries me in addition to that is the
fact that he was also had clearly had contacts in Pakistan and Pakistan
yes it's supposedly an ally but it's it's a very it's an ally that I'm very
area it's also a country that has some some very suspicious banking practices
of its own there was a bank called BCCI that was a terribly corrupt supposedly
the most corrupt bank ever in history was dealing with terrorist drug dealers
etc that was based in Pakistan and if this guy was sending money to a banking
institution in Pakistan giving them access to a Federal Credit Union the
most important Federal Credit Union in the country that of Congress that could
be very dangerous well this guy was wiring hundreds of thousands of dollars
to Pakistan the FBI has hundreds of suspicious activity reports from banks
documenting bizarre arrangements with cash flying every which way
cash from different bank accounts being withdrawn deposited sent over his family
had about a dozen LLC's one of them was a purported car dealership that had fake
employees listed on its website and took a hundred thousand dollars from an Iraqi
government minister while these guys were working for members of the
intelligence so why let me cut to the chase here why did the DOJ give him
immunity then with all these charges and potential charges against him well
that's what they can't explain and they didn't explain is there's a tremendous
amount of evidence here and the FBI from the beginning refused to investigate and
that's why I've been following this case for 18 months I knew it was rigged from
the beginning and as a reporter you kind of get the sense that there's a cover-up
afoot and that makes you want to pursue it well and as a reporter you get the
sense that the reason that they they gave him they cut him a deal was because
he had all his sensitive information on Congress and and these cookies
correct me if I'm wrong but I think they were all Democrat Congress people but
they they were they were afraid and they put a might have used their influence on
DOJ to cut this guy a deal yeah absolutely and this guy I mean he had
access to all of their emails and the the lawyers were actually pretty clear
his lawyers what they would say if he was taken to trial they were gonna
number one blame Democrats and congressmen for basically not caring
about cybersecurity day it turns out that the Congress has such shoddy
cybersecurity it's like equivalent to like a grandma's hotmail account like
they just run it so sloppily and they were going to put that on the Democrats
you talk about Rush all the time it's embarrassing the second thing is
this procurement scheme when they're falsifying these invoices what no one
really mentioned is that the Chiefs of Staff have to sign off on that and so
they were going to implicate members of Congress and Chiefs of Staff in a
procurement scheme the kiss the systematic cooking of the books in
Congress and one person in particular a guy named Shelly Davis he was the chief
of staff for congresswoman Yvette Clarke from New York Democratic chief of staff
implicated him as working with these guys in a kickback scheme so basically
some people said is this guy being protected by the DOJ because he's going
to squeal on members that's not what it was it was if you if you prosecute him
that's when there's gonna be this spectacle it would be the trial of the
demo absolutely members testifying were the deep state which was definitely
afraid of what this guy was going to reveal finally we only have a few we
only have about 30 seconds for this he had debbie Wasserman Schultz's PC and
and it was planted in a phone book what's the story there I mean it's
bizarre so after he was banned from Congress he came into the house building
at midnight left debbie Wasserman Schultz his laptop in a phone booth and
he put a piece of paper on top and it said attorney-client privilege so then
later he tries to flee the country and he's arrested and they introduced the
laptop as evidence and he says well I said attorney-client privilege so you
can't use it and Jeff Sessions mr. magoo he says well I guess we can't look at it
then and they never try so when Trump talks about a server he's not talking
about the DNC he's talking about the debbie Wasserman Schultz's laptop and
the house Democratic caucus server which the cops went which the cop said went
missing I only have 10 say why do you think Jeff Sessions was not interested
in getting to the bottom of that well he was unwilling to take on 40 angry
Democrats but if Trump wants to know how how a sessions reacts when he's not
recused it turns out it's not any different than how he acts when he is
subject to refusal Luke Rosie AK great work I mean terrific journalistic work
of course you got it all to yourself because the mainstream media isn't
interested in this story so congratulations you've done the best
with it Luke thank you very much I appreciate you coming up next Secretary
of State Pompeo visiting North Korea for the first time since the historic
Singapore summit Gordon Chang joining us next to take up the administration's
efforts to denuclearize the rogue regime stay with
us
you
