HANNITY: All right. Republicans rightfully tonight calling on the hack, the liar, Adam Schiff, to step down as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. These two men from their freedom caucus - I've said many times, without the freedom caucus, we don't have Republicans that stand on principles, support the President and fight to keep their promises.

Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, guys, we're just short on time. How important is it now that we get this right? Mark.

REP. MARK MEADOWS, R-N.C., HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIR: Well, I think it's very important that we go back to how it all started. Let's get the reams of documents, let's give it to Senator Graham over on the Senate side, let him do a real investigation. Let's get to the bottom of it and hold people accountable. And the time is now.

HANNITY: And you guys laid the foundation perfectly. The work you've done, it is--

REP. JIM JORDAN, R-OHIO: Thank you.

HANNITY: Honestly, without you, we wouldn't be here. And Devin Nunes and some others.

JORDAN: Yep.

HANNITY: Jim.

JORDAN: No. Mark is exactly right. Let's do everything we can to work with Chairman Graham to get to the bottom of this and expose how they used one party's opposition research document to get a secret warrant to spy on the other party's campaign and launch this whole ridiculous thing that we saw unfold over the last several years.

HANNITY: How do you investigate Russia collusion and ignore the Hillary bought-and-paid-for lying Russian dossier that is used to bludgeon the President, infiltrate his campaign, deny human rights and constitutional rights, and then they used to try and undo a duly-elected President, and try and remove him? Mark.

MEADOWS: Well, we - we spent twice as much time, four times the amount of resources investigating Trump than we did Hillary Clinton. And yet, we find that all the collusion that happened was actually from Fusion GPS, spending--

HANNITY: Yeah.

MEADOWS: --$12 million to get dirt on the President of the United States. And in the end, there was nothing to it.

HANNITY: They'll never stop in Congress. Endless investigations. Jim Jordan.

JORDAN: Here's the good news, Sean. 19, 40, 500, 2,800. 19 lawyers, 40 FBI agents, 500 search warrants, 2,800 subpoenas, and what were the findings of the Mueller investigation? No - no new indictments, no sealed indictments, no collusion, no obstruction. So in spite of everything they did to try to take down this President, they still - when Mueller does his investigation, he finds no collusion, no obstruction, no sealed indictments. That's the - that's the ultimate vindication for this President.

Now let's go find the people who started this whole thing and let's hold them accountable. That's what's good for the country. That's what's good for this nation. That's our charge. That's what we have to do now.

HANNITY: All right. You two have been in the forefront. I want America to know that we wouldn't - we may not have been here today but for these two guys. Thank you, both.
