AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): Another CIA memo sent to then-FBI director James Comey and former agent Peter Strzok says Clinton's plan was meant as a way to, quote, "distracting the public from her use of a private email server." So what this tells us is there was a distraction from her own scandal, that President Obama knew about it, and there was so much chaos. The president is saying this is the biggest political crime in history, and he said people have acted very slowly on all of this, and he called it the Russia hoax.

But do you know what's interesting? We keep hearing everyone say peaceful transition of power. And that's what's supposed to happen from one president to the next. But that's not at all what happened, according to these documents. There was so much chaos, and you hear from the Democrats we need peaceful transition. And they did not allow that to happen in 2016 and 2017.
