Here with reaction, Congressman Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows.
Well, I don't disagree with a single word the president said there. Any of you?
REP. JIM JORDAN, R-OH: Sean, think about this: Nancy Pelosi --
REP. MARK MEADOWS, R-N.C.: No, not at all.
JORDAN: Nancy Pelosi -- excuse me, Mark -- Nancy Pelosi putting Adam Schiff in charge of this impeachment inquiry is exactly what Jim Comey did when he put Peter Strzok in charge of the Trump-Russia investigation. Someone as biased as Adam Schiff, even the Democrats would agree Peter Strzok should have never been running that investigation.
Michael Horowitz said he never should never have been running that investigation he is the one who said Lisa will stop Trump. Nancy Pelosi is doing the same thing with putting Adam Schiff in charge of this investigation. So the President is right, they have already made a determination, they don't care about the facts they don't care about the truth and the American people see through it.
HANNITY: Once again it seems Devin Nunes or Marco - it seems like another boomerang. Now we are going back and I've been saying we need to do this, we are getting back to it Hillary is rigged investigation, then we are waiting on the FISA report from the Inspector General, and after that the counterintelligence report, the Durham report which I assume would be--
That probably have people in the Obama Administration outsourcing intelligence gathering to spy on a candidate, a transition team, President, and other American citizens - are you confident that Italy and Great Britain and Australia maybe, those three countries - you're smiling Mark Meadows, I'm doing my job. Are you confident that's likely something we might discover?
MEADOWS: I think we are going to find a lot of players that were involved in this and Sean. And I think Jim is absolutely right. The Democrats, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, they have made up their mind. Their one goal is to disenfranchise the voters from coast to coast who elected this President in November 2016.
More problematic than that, they have campaigned on really a false narrative. We know that Hillary Clinton, Senators and House Members, we know that DNC have reached out to foreign entities to help them during their election campaign and what did they expect? They would get elected or reelected and yet they are going to try to use the same narrative to impeach the President.
They are creating an obstruction trap to try to hold this President on impeachable offenses and we have go to call them out on it.
HANNITY: Devin Nunes, look at the parallels here, Hillary Clinton's dossier, Russian dossier with lies that impact the 2016 election, they didn't care about that. They didn't care about Ukrainian interference and a DNC contractor working with Ukrainians to impact our election, "POLITICO" acknowledging in January 2017 that they were successful? Where are all those people that said we can't have this?
REP. DEVIN NUNES, R-CALIF.: There are a couple things that I think your audience also needs to know about. That is that this is not a real impeachment. This is like a foul impeachment. What they're doing is, by keeping at the House Intelligence committee we're not built - the House Intelligence Committee is not a place to run impeachment hearings.
What they are trying to do is they're hiding this from the American people they don't want the normal process. As Mark just pointed out, it's important for people to go back and look at what the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee did? He fabricated the President's own words. These need a closer examination.
The Democrats tried to get dirt from the Ukrainians. The DNC, Clinton campaign, the origins of the Russia investigation begin in the Ukraine.
HANNITY: Will we Jim Jordan, will justice be served? Do you believe what we know and the facts that we have explained this audience here that, that this will result in those people involved in all of this being held accountable?
JORDAN: Sean, the Democrats are scared, why do you think Nancy Pelosi attacked Bill Barr last week? Why do you think the Democrats are trying to move fast? Why do you think she said we want to strike while the iron is hot? They are nervous about the investigation Bill Barr and John Durham are doing and what that is going to uncover?
They are nervous about the truth, that's why they are moving so fast. They tried the slow approach, they tried the two year Mueller approach, that didn't work because we had the time to get all the facts and prove them wrong. Now they are saying we are trying to strike while the iron is hot, we're going to do it in the Intelligence Committee. We're going to put the most biased Chairman in the Congress in charge of it Adam Schiff who was no different than Peter Strzok. That's why they're doing all this is to undermine Bill Barr and to go at to this President that we elected.
