The Five 11/28/17 - The Five Fox News Today November 28, 2017

Juan Williams starts tonight’s discussion by whining about President Trump’s tweet this morning in which he called out the Democrats. The Democrats retaliated by refusing to come to a meeting today. Jesse Waters replied to Juan, “So they were too sensitive to read a tweet and come to a meeting?” So Schumer and Pelosi did not show up. Greg says, “I suppose if he would have come up in his boxers they would have shown up. They are right behind Al Franken and John Conyers!” Greg is also correct, in my opinion, that Trump demeaning Elizabeth Warren by calling her Pocahontas is not demeaning Native Americans. She lied about being Native American to get into Harvard. Jesse clicks off item after item of Obama abuses of power. Corrupt, yet self-righteous! Next, The Five talks about Inspector General Charles McCullough III. According to The Conservative Treehouse today,

He was the top of the IG office in direct oversight of 17 intelligence agencies including Treasury and FBI. In his position Mr. McCullough was directly responsible for oversight of the Hillary Clinton email investigation from the position of reviewing any potential risk to the entire intelligence community. McCullough’s direct boss was the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), James Clapper. McCullough informed Clapper of the “above top secret‘ content of Hillary Clinton’s emails. However, soon after sharing that information McCullough received instructions to stop briefing James Clapper. Continued briefing would remove the necessary ‘plausible deniability‘ Clapper, James Comey (FBI) and John Brennan (CIA) would later use to defend their actions in the investigation.

The very competent Catherine Herridge interviews McCullough today, and her interview is played on The Five. I particulary like Kimberley’s comments on this subject. Vanity Fair says Melania didn’t want to be First Lady. Greg points out that even if she did have some trepidation (who wouldn’t?) Melania has bravely accepted the responsibility with tremendous grace. Once again, Jesse ticks off a list of her accomplishments and renames Vanity Fair as Vanity Unfair! The atrocious Keith Olbermann is hanging it up. Greg says, “In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Research for the Prevention of Irrational Outrage!” Denzel Washington says it starts in the home. If a boy doesn’t have a father in the home, he’ll find one in the streets.
