And joining us now with all these breaking news, we have Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan. Remember Jim Jordan and guys like Matt Gaetz and certainly, Mark Meadows and John Ratcliffe, I don't want to miss anybody. They have behind closed doors, as Congressman Doug Collins revealed, you are asking the right questions at the right time.

Now that we have these 302s over all of this confirmation that you are hearing tonight, Congressman, we seem to have two separate paths that we use for spying. Again, the 99 percent of the FBI, great people.

REP. JIM JORDAN, R-OH: Right.

HANNITY: The premier law enforcement agency in the world. On our intelligence side, the premier intelligence agencies in the world. But at the highest levels, it seems that both we had outsourcing of tactics and means of spying on Americans that would be illegal, they did it purposely to seemingly to circumvent American laws and on the other side, of course, we have the dirty dossier.

Then, we have a guy that's fired for lying and leaking and he's got a conduit and the conduit is Bruce Ohr whose wife, by the way, how to build the dirty Russian dossier for Hillary Clinton and Fusion GPS. As you read this, fill in the blanks so the audience here can understand this completely.

JORDAN: No, that last point I think it is important. Why do you terminate your direct relationship with Christopher Steele and then encourage a top Justice Department official to keep meeting with him and then coming in briefing knew about each of those meetings into those conversation? So, that's point number one. It seems like you are trying to hide something or camouflage something when you do that.

Second, why do you do 302s? You do 302s because you're out to get someone. And we know they weren't out to get to Bruce Ohr. They're out to get someone else. Who are they out to get? The president of the United States. Look at the 12 302s and notice the dates.

There's three bursts. There's the bursts right after the election. There's the bursts right after the inauguration, and then there's the ones in May right after the special counsel is named.

So, this all just shows they were out to go after the president of the United States. And never forget, the guy who is leading the investigation said Clinton should win a hundred million to zero. Don't worry. Lisa will stop Trump. We got an insurance policy.

So, that's the key takeaway and you've been on this for a couple of years. But when you now put this altogether, it seems pretty clear what they were up to.

HANNITY: All right. Let's stay right there. I want to bring back into the program, John Solomon and Sara Carter.
