26
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: It is getting more fascinating, minute by minute by minute.

27
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: Just moments ago, the Inspector General of the U. S

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: Department of Justice released a report of investigation of the

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: certain allegations related to the former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

30
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: We're sifting through that even as we speak, but the

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: conclusion is, we concluded that McCabe's decision to confirm the

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: existence of the Clinton Foundation investigation through an anonymously sourced quote.

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: This was in the Wall Street Journal. It's like forty pages.

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: It goes deep. It does a deep dive into this

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: recounting the content of a phone call with a senior

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: department official in a manner designed to advance his personal

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: interests at the expense of department leadership, was clear lead

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: not within the public interest exception um. And it's just

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: a huge, huge disparity in terms of what recollections were

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: between McCabe and Comey. Uh So we'll get into all

41
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: of that today. Rod Rosenstein is now running around telling

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: people he expects to get fired any minute, and he's

43
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: telling confidence that he expects that. Now, who would leak

44
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: that but Rod Rosenstein himself. Anyway, in conversations that he's

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: quoted with friends, he's saying, here I stand, a reference

46
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: to Martin Luther King's famous quote, here I stand, I

47
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: can do no other. And coincidentally, the former FBI director

48
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: James Comey, who Rosenstein fired, repeated the same phrase to

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: George W. Bush and a conversation that has been widely

50
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: reported and that Comey describes in his in his book

51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: that has released Monday. We have a lot more information

52
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: on that book. One sports source who spoke to Rosenstein

53
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: said he seemed fully aware that he may soon lose

54
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: his job, and he's at peace with the possibility, confident

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: he had done his job with integrity and that history

56
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: will prove he did the right thing by firing Comey

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: in May. Seen we're beginning to put that together very quickly,

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: claiming that the American people do not have all the

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: facts about what led to his decision to write the

60
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: memo that led to Comey's dismissal. The source said, and

61
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: if Rosenstein has fired next well, the next in line

62
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: to oversee the Mueller pro would be the Solicitor General,

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: Noel Francisco, though Trump could choose to replace Rosenstein with

64
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: anyone who's been confirmed by the Senate now. Trump tweeted

65
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: this morning that Rosenstein was perhaps more conflicted than Mueller

66
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: because he signed a Fiz and Comey letter. That's all true.

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: We've been pointing it out. Alan Dershowitz has been out there,

68
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: you know, saying that the exact same thing, that he

69
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: should have recused himself because he's witnessed number one, uh

70
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: in a lot of this investigation, Why did you fire Comey?

71
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Why did you write the letter to fire or Comy?

72
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: And on top of that, he appointed Robert Mueller, And

73
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: he's conflicted out a hundred different ways and sideways. Anyway,

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: there's reports and some of the news today that Rosenstein

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: consulted with ethics advisors over the course of the investigation

76
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: on the issue of whether he should recuse himself. Well,

77
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: he should have recused himself. You know, how could you

78
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: be the person that renews the FISA warrant using the phony, unpaid, uncorroborated,

79
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: unverified dossier, and maybe twice he did it, at least

80
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: once we know he did it. How can you be

81
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: that guy? And then how can you be the guy

82
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: that puts Mueller in place? You can't. That's a conflict,

83
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, especially if we're using the Jeff Session standard,

84
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: which is which frankly became borderline ridiculous in everything. Anyway,

85
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: So happy you're with us. Also other news today, Scooter

86
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: Libby has been given a pardon by the President of

87
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: the United States. Today, Donald Trump issued an executive grant

88
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: of clemency full pardon to Scooter Lewis Libby, former chief

89
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, for conviction stemming

90
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: from a two thousand and seven trial. Um and if

91
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: you remember, the sentence was commuted by President George W.

92
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Bush after the conviction, he still had to pay a

93
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: two hundred fifty dollar fine, fours of community service, two

94
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: years probation. And I think a lot of people looking

95
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: at this as exact same situation. We always find ourselves

96
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: in when it relates to special counsels the overreach. In

97
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: that case, the special counsel prosecutor was a guy by

98
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: the name of Patrick Fitzgerald. And Patrick Fitzgerald, you know,

99
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: remember there was a he was appointed to find out who,

100
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: in fact had leaked information about Valerie Plane, who was

101
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: never was not a covert operative in the CIA, But

102
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: that became the media narrative in all of this. And

103
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: on almost the first or second day that he took

104
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: over that office, he discovered who the leaker was, and

105
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: the leaker was in Scooter Libby. And this went on

106
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: for three long years and it never ends, and it

107
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: ends with Scooter Libby basically, like so often as the case,

108
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, he gets he gets charged for lying to

109
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 1: the FBI. Well, if you start talking to these prosecutors

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: and you don't remember something right, even you know, Alan

111
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: Dershowood said something to me the other night that kind

112
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: of scared me. He goes, Even if you tell the

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: truth but they don't believe your version of the truth

114
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: versus somebody else's version of the truth, you can still

115
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: be charged with lying to the FBI. I mean, it's

116
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: absolute insanity. So it's like Martha Stewart. I actually saw

117
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart yesterday and I said, you know, what you

118
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: went through was so fundamentally wrong and unfair. She goes

119
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: tell me about it, and then she was extraordinarily strong

120
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: and stoic. Remember they had this issue about whether or

121
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: not she had been tipped off on a stock. They

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: couldn't prove that crime, but what she was. But then

123
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: they said, well, you lied to the FBI. This happens

124
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: all the time the same, General Flynn. I mean, my

125
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: FBI friends literally are have told me. We've had conversations

126
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: about this. So you're telling me that even if you're

127
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: inclined to want to help the FBI, because you admire

128
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: the FBI. I've always looked up to the FBI. I've

129
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: always looked up and they're the best of the best.

130
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Like I had a lot of people in my family

131
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: that were in law enforcement, you know, for my mom

132
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: being a prison guard, to you know, cousins and relatives

133
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: all over the place being in the New York Police Department.

134
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: But then the but the highest echelon was my cousins

135
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: that got into the FBI and the work that they

136
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: did that was that was that was like the greatest

137
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: law enforcement achievement anybody could make. And that's how I

138
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: grew up. So I talked to these friends of mine

139
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: in the FBI, and I'll ask the question. I'll say, so,

140
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: let me so somebody that wants to help the FBI

141
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: that you're saying to me, you shouldn't talk to them

142
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: because you could always be held for lying to the

143
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: FBI if you misremember or something or something's not right,

144
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: or they can prove that that wasn't an accurate statement,

145
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: but you didn't mean to say something that was inaccurate,

146
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: and the absolutely, I mean, that's that's a form of insanity.

147
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: You know Denny Haster who was ever paying off you know,

148
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: this family because he had molested some kids in Chicago

149
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: when he was a coach years ago. They couldn't get

150
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: him on that crime, but they got him online to

151
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: the FBI. It's like a go to that they fall

152
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: into anyway. But pat Patrick Fitzgerald did. This went on

153
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: for three long years, and my understanding, having spoken with

154
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: many people about this, it came down to this, Well,

155
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: he's the chief of staff to the vice president at

156
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: the time, Dick Cheney and Patrick Fitzgerald at the time

157
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: wanted information on Cheney. He wanted the bigger target, the

158
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: bigger prize, and Scooter Libby wasn't given it to him.

159
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: And then he gets convicted. And then remember this started

160
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: in two thousand and five in his life. Well now

161
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: it's two thousand and eighteen before he gets his harden.

162
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: Well there goes, you know, a big chunk of your

163
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: adult life. It's a form of madness, and that that

164
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: has happened here. This is what Alan Dershowitz is referring

165
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: to about criminalizing now political differences, because that's what's in

166
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: play here all right. Now, Before I get to this

167
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: Inspector General report, we've got to go to James Comey

168
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: and this book tour of his and there's so much

169
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: here that it actually takes my breath away. Let me

170
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: play a little bit about him talking about the Steel

171
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: dossier still being unverified when he was fired, and he

172
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: didn't tell Trump that he financed it. And at another

173
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: point he actually goes even further and he says, I

174
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: to this day don't know if it's true. And the

175
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: importance of what I'm about to play you is simple,

176
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: is that the dossier was bought and paid for by Hillary.

177
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: They didn't tell it to the FISA Court. The five

178
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: is a law requires verification and corroboration of materials that

179
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna present to a judge. After all, the judge

180
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: is going to sign off if you get the warrant

181
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: on spying on an American citizen, in this case a

182
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: member of the opposition party campaign in the lead up

183
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: to an election, and that gives them a backdoor access

184
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: into all things Trump campaign at that point and then

185
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Trump president elected at that point, and then Trump president

186
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: at that point. And if he doesn't know to this

187
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: day that it's verified and that it's true, how could

188
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: he justify the the Justice Department presenting this to a

189
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: find as a judge, This never made sense. And then

190
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: omitting not only to Donald Trump in January of when

191
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: they already used it as the bulk of the information

192
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: to get the warrant in October. Then comey, you know

193
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: to this day doesn't know if it's true, and they're

194
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: omitting all of this information to the FISER Court judge.

195
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: That's lying to a judge. I don't think anybody in

196
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: this audience would ever dare do that without thinking they're

197
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: going to jail for the rest of their lives? Cut two.

198
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Was there any choice there? Uh? Why if this was

199
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: salacious and this particular part of the dossier unverified still

200
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: unverified by the way, yes, so far as when I

201
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: got fired it was unverified. Did you tell him that

202
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: the steel dossi had been financed by his political opponents? No,

203
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't even think I used the term

204
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: steel dossie. I just talked about additional material. But did

205
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: he have a right to know that that had been

206
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: financed by his political opponents? That? I don't know the

207
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: answer to that. It wasn't necessary for my goal, which

208
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: was to alert him that we had this information. Oh,

209
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: to alert him, okay, that you had the information. You

210
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: don't think it's relevant to tell the president elect where

211
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: the information was coming from. And then he makes a

212
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: big big deal over the fact that the president says, hey, listen,

213
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want my wife believe in this

214
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: crap about me. Even if there's one percent of or

215
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,199
Speaker 1: that believes it, can't we prove it's not true. Well,

216
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: that seems like a reasonable request, you know, And Comey said, well,

217
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: I never said I didn't believe the hookers urinating on

218
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: a bed story and the Trump meeting was weird, and

219
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: then he goes on to describe, you know, the president

220
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: and his face being orange and the size of his hands.

221
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: It is the most bizarre book I've ever seen, and

222
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: I can tell you now having spoken with numbers of

223
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: a number of people that read it, there's nothing in

224
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: it that is of any real substance. Because he didn't

225
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: see the president a whole lot. He just he builds

226
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: up those few experiences into something that it's not so

227
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: listen to. I never said I didn't believe the p

228
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: tape story. How graphic did you get? I think as

229
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: graphic as I needed to be. I start to tell

230
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: him about the allegation was that he had been involved

231
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: with prostitutes in a hotel in Moscow in two thousand

232
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: thirteen during a visit for the Miss Universe pageant, and

233
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: that the Russians had filmed the episode, and he interrupted

234
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: very defensively, and I started talking about it. You know,

235
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: do I look like a guy who needs hookers? And

236
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: I assumed he was asking that rhetorically. I didn't answer that,

237
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: and I just moved on and explained, So I'm not

238
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: saying that we credit this. I'm not saying we believe it.

239
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: We just thought it very important that you know. Did

240
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: you tell him you thought it wasn't true or he

241
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: didn't know if it was true or not. I never

242
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: said I don't believe it, because I couldn't say one

243
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,239
Speaker 1: way or another. How weird was that briefing really weird?

244
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: I was almost an ad of body experience for me.

245
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: I was floating above myself looking down, saying, you're sitting

246
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: here briefly incoming President United States about prostitutes in Moscow?

247
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: Why didn't you try and verify? Later he says he

248
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: never knew. If he doesn't know to this day, if

249
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: it's true, it was still used to obtain a fiser warrant.

250
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: This is insanity. One Shaun is a number. We'll get

251
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: your calls in throughout the day. We've got our full

252
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: team of analysts, including new ging rig Sarah Carter, Uh,

253
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: David shown Uh, my friend Greg, Jared all coming up here. Look,

254
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: every time I think I've run out of reasons why

255
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: we need the Convention the States, there's always a new one.

256
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: Now we've got okay out of control big government, even

257
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: rating the home and offices of the President's personal attorney

258
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: now I want to play this next cut here. This

259
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: is call Me Again, part of this interview that alarias

260
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Sunday I guess on ABC, and well, Trump wanted me

261
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: to investigate. Now he just got done telling the President

262
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: that this salacious, unverified Tassier exist, didn't tell him it

263
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: was Hillary Boughton paid for, didn't tell him that it

264
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: was used as a base of basis for a fiser warrant. Now,

265
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: if you're hearing this for the first time in your

266
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: life about Poker's urinating in a bed and the presidents like, uh,

267
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: can you just investigate that and find out paid for

268
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: the lies? Colly knew who paid for it, and Colly

269
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: knew what was used as a basis for fies a warrant.

270
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: All right, listen to a cut four here Janu had

271
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: a private dinner in the White House. President Trump raises

272
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: the issue again, says he may want me to investigate

273
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: it to prove that it didn't happen, and then he says, uh,

274
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: something that distracted me because he said, you know, if

275
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: there's even a one percent chance my wife thinks that's true,

276
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: that's terrible. And I remember thinking, how could your wife

277
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: think there's a one percent chance you were with prostitutes

278
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: being at each other in Moscow. I'm a flawed human being,

279
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: but there's literally zero chance that my wife would think

280
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 1: that was true. So what kind of marriage to what

281
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: kind of man? Does your wife think? There's only a

282
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: chance you didn't do that. And I said to him, sir,

283
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: when you started talking about it, I may order you

284
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: to investigate that, I said, So that's up to you,

285
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: but you'd want to be careful about that because it

286
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: might create a narrative that were us to getting you personally.

287
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: And second, it's very difficult to prove something didn't happen.

288
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Did you believe his denial? Honestly never thought these words

289
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: would come out of my mouth. But I don't know

290
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: whether the current president states with with prostitutes being on

291
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: each other in Moscow in two it's possible. I think

292
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: how damning that is for James Comey a light of

293
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: what we now know, and we know again the new

294
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: Nest memo, we know the Grassly Graham memo. I'll quote

295
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: the Grassly Graham memo. The bulk of information came from

296
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: the dossier, and here it is all this time later,

297
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: James Comey said, I have no idea. If it's true

298
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: or not, then how do you get to present that

299
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: to advise a judge to get a warrant to spy

300
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: in the weeks leading up to an election paid for

301
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: he knew by Hillary Clinton and her campaign into the ends.

302
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: See Uh, and you use it as the basis to

303
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: get a warrant to spy on an opposition party candidate

304
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: associate in the lead up to an election, and you

305
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: still don't know it's true when the law requires that

306
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: you do verify and that you do corroborate, and FBI

307
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: protocol says the same. I it should take your breath away.

308
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: The magnitude and the abuse of power here, it is unbelievable.

309
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: We'll continue, all right. It looks like the first leaking

310
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: from the rate of Michael Cohen's offices. Uh, now come out.

311
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal and Washington Post have it headline Washington

312
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Post Trump lawyer negotiated one point six million dollars settlement

313
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: for GOP donor with a playboy model. Every I'm reading

314
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: the article here, I'm trying to say, Okay, what does

315
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: that have anything to do with the fact that was

316
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: in twenty l and apparently some donor, Uh, finance guy

317
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: that worked with the RNC had this of air, they

318
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: had the woman got pregnant, they negotiated a settlement. What

319
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: does that have to do with anything? And where could

320
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: that information possibly have come from other than those that

321
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 1: went in and raided the offices of Michael Comb. Where

322
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: did that lead come from? Especially in light of the

323
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Inspector Office of Inspector General report today, you know, where's

324
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: this information coming from? That should be another question. Another

325
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: We need another investigation, an investigation after the investigation, into

326
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: the investigation of the investigation. You can't even make this

327
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: stuff up anyway? What really stands out when you um

328
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: as I'm reading all these excerpts because I don't have

329
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: the book completely yet, talk to people that have and

330
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: everything that I'm reading and seeing in the interview with

331
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: George Stefanopolis, the amount of pettiness, arrogance even means spiritedness political,

332
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: you know in embittered former employee is the way the

333
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: only way I can describe what James Comey is doing here.

334
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: On top of that, it is just breathtaking lee stupid

335
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: for somebody that is in the position he is in,

336
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 1: meaning potential legal jeopardy in terms of fixing an investigation.

337
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: Obstructing justice was what it would be called as it

338
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: relates to Hillary Clinton and the email server scandal, taking

339
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: privileged the information, leaking it for the sake of of

340
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: securing a special counsel, and you know, other other issues

341
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: involving James Comey. I don't think I would be writing

342
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: a book and running around the country telling everybody I'm

343
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: great and I am the you know, the epitome of

344
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: all things righteous and good, and and Donald Trump looked

345
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: like he went to a tanning bed and his hands

346
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: weren't as big as mine. Because that's what's in the book. Anyway,

347
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: He admits in this book that if you know that

348
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: part of his decision, as it relates to the new information,

349
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: remember they didn't do this. They had the information about

350
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: Anthony Weiner's laptop a month before they were field and

351
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: I think it was actually five weeks before they revealed it.

352
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: And he his belief was, well, Hillary is gonna win anyway,

353
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: and I just want to make sure that she is

354
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: when when she's elected, she's gonna be legitimate. His quote is,

355
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 1: it's entirely possible because I was making decisions in an

356
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: environment where Hillary Clinton was sure to be the next president.

357
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: My concern about making her and illegitimate president by concealing

358
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: the emails is what he's talking about on the Wiener

359
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: laptop and restarting the investigation bore greater weight than it

360
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: would have if the election appeared closer or if Donald

361
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Trump were ahead in all the polls. So he did

362
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: it to help make Hillary legitimate and then basically thinking

363
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: it's not going to impact the election. This election is over. Well,

364
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: he's politicizing and admitting that he's politicizing his entire office

365
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: and job that shouldn't have been a concern of his

366
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: at all. The concern is right wrong, the public right,

367
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: the public's right to know, and especially as it relates

368
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: to the email server scandal. Remember he was writing the

369
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: exoneration in May. They didn't interview her or seventeen other

370
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: key witnesses until July. The guy that did the interviews

371
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: Peter Struck, who hates President Trump, and two days later

372
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: they exonerate her after basically admitting everything that we knew

373
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: was true as it relates to the email server scandal,

374
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: that there was classified, top secret special access programming on it,

375
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: that it was put into a mom and pop shop

376
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: server where it didn't belong, a violation of eighteen USC.

377
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: Seven ninety three, that she deleted subpoena at emails, that

378
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: she destroyed her hard drive, and that she broke up

379
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: her devices, and the only device she handed over didn't

380
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: have a SIM card in it. So he was admitting

381
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: in his book that, well, if Trump had been ahead

382
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 1: in the polls, well he would have considered covering up

383
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: the Wiener laptops scandal. But the only reason he wanted

384
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: to do it it was because there's no way she

385
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: was gonna lose. And Democrats, including Hillary herself, they're blaming

386
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: Comey's October surprise announcement for the White House. Comey is

387
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: making it clear he revealed it because he believed the

388
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: polls showed that the election was a fated complete in

389
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: the bag for her. So he was so sure she

390
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: was gonna win that she could withstand what he was

391
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: gonna release to the public. Otherwise he probably wouldn't have

392
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: done it. And one of the lies that you know

393
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: the book, I've been yet to hear any fake news

394
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: media challenge is his claim that he reopened this email

395
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: case eleven days before because he's afraid if he didn't,

396
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, and after that was a political choice. Probably

397
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: I would assume here for his own future he wanted

398
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: to be in her good graces. Why would I think that,

399
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: because in the struck page memos, besides talking about insurance

400
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: policies and hating Trump, well they were talking about Hillary

401
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: being president. Didn't want to be in her bad graces either.

402
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: So if he thought he could have gotten away with it,

403
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: he would have kept these emails about that were discovered

404
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: on Wiener's laptop well after the election, because they had

405
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: it five weeks earlier. Andrew McKay, by the way, had

406
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: already been sitting on this email bombshell for those those

407
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,880
Speaker 1: number of weeks. That means Comey had to know about

408
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: all of these things. You know, I've been The more

409
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: I dig into this, the more I cannot believe this

410
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: is all happening in our country. I just can't believe

411
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: this is where we are and and all of this

412
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: is happening President's Trump's first request was to confirm that

413
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: it had no impact on the election. Well, what's wrong

414
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: with that question? When he was told that the Russians

415
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: had in fact influenced the or tried to influence the election,

416
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: Now my question is that Jim Comey, he was the

417
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: FBI director at the time. Devin Newness had warned everybody

418
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: in a column that he wrote for the Washington Time,

419
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: saying that the Russians had on it before, they'll try

420
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: and do it again. Uh, and that is create chaos

421
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: and influence the election. Well, by the way, Chris Wallace

422
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: actually said, I can't believe that Comey comes off that

423
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: bitchy in the report. What does that mean? Oh my gosh. Anyway,

424
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, so if the President wanted to confirm that

425
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: it had no impact, that's a good thing to know,

426
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: because the American people need to know and have faith

427
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: in their electoral process. It's unbelievable. So Comey to this

428
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: day doesn't even know it, doesn't have a clue about

429
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: whether it's whether or not it's what was in the

430
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: dossier's true. Now, one other interesting side note here, and

431
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: I don't know how to interpret this. Comy writes that

432
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: he felt obligated to take more of a personal role

433
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: as the public face of the investigation rather than deferring

434
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: to the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. He says, in part

435
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: because there's something involving Lynch that he's cryptically referring to

436
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: as a quote development still unknown to the American public

437
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: to this day. Now, I thought it was because, you know,

438
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: it wasn't a good idea for the Attorney General to

439
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: meet with the husband of the guy she was about

440
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: to make a decision over whether or not they're going

441
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: to prosecute uh. As it relates to the email server scandal,

442
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: people always say, well, why do you keep talking about Clinton,

443
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: she's not the president, because because of the massive double

444
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: standard here as it relates to the application of the

445
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: laws in this country, an equal justice under the law

446
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: in this country. But he's writing this cryptically referred development

447
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: still unknown to the American public to this day. And

448
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: in early in the U. S. Government became aware of

449
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: information from a classified source. He says. The source and

450
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: the content of that material remains classified as I write this.

451
00:25:54,400 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: Had it become public, the unverified material would undoubtedly have

452
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: been used by political opponents to cast serious doubt on

453
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: the Attorney General's independence in connection with the Clinton investigation.

454
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: So what he's saying is there's something way beyond even

455
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: the meeting on the tarmac and Arizona between Bill Clinton

456
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: and Lauretta Lynch unbelievable. Then you've got of course, did

457
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: the next step after he referred to the President as

458
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: a mob boss, which I took offense to, which is

459
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: why I said, Okay, if we're gonna use the Komi standard,

460
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: we'll go with the with the same analogy. I never

461
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: wanted Don Junior in this business. I told him, don

462
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: this business, Michael, this is not for you. This is

463
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 1: more Sonny and Fredo. Fredo's not so smart. But anyway,

464
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: so part of this is I don't know why you

465
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: people keep making me do that. Donald Trump engaged in

466
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: a month long effort to secure the quote loyalty of

467
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 1: the FBI director. Anyway, so he's had very little interaction

468
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: with the President, but every time him he does, he

469
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: blows it up into the biggest thing in the entire world.

470
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: He likens it to a mafia boss. Then we find

471
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: out it's really about you know, Sammy the Bull Gravano,

472
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 1: a guy that murdered nineteen people. So I'm like, if

473
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: that's the Comey standard, all right, we'll use the Commey

474
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: standard on him. We'll use the Comy standard on Clinton

475
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: and Mueller and and Mueller's team of of Democratic donors

476
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 1: and and the most unethical people you could ever appoint

477
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: to a special council anyway. Comey writes that the demand

478
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: was like Sammy the bulls Kosa Nostra induction ceremony, referring

479
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: to Gravano, a former leader of the Gambino crime family. Well,

480
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: the guy took nineteen lives, but it was his testimony

481
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,959
Speaker 1: that helped convict John Gotti at the time, and Comey

482
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: responded with silence, he writes in the book. Later in

483
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: the dinner, Trump said, I need loyalty. You always get

484
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: honesty from me, sir. That's what I want, honest loyalty.

485
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: I sat there thinking, holy crap, they're trying to make

486
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: each of us a Mika Nostra friend of ours, to

487
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: draw us in. Comey says, as crazy as it sounds,

488
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: I suddenly had the feeling that in the blink of

489
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: a nine the President elect was trying to make us

490
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: all part of the same family and the team Trump

491
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: had had made it a thing of hours. The book

492
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: is sharply critical of the president. You know, uh, Comy,

493
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: you know who tried to compare him to mob people,

494
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: but Comey writes, I have one perspective on the behavior

495
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: I saw, which, while disturbing and violating basic norms of

496
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: ethical leadership, may fall short of being illegal. You guys

497
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: paying attention to this, So Comy doesn't think anything illegal happen,

498
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: now he you know, he doesn't clear the president of

499
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: anything it relates to wrongdoing. But if Comey had it

500
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: would be in the book. He doesn't have it, and

501
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: the book basically doesn't really just all it does is

502
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: give a little more color and flair to the same

503
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: testimony that he gave way back when, even with relation

504
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: to you know, the other time that he had an

505
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: interaction with the president, and you know the President's about

506
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn. I hope he's a good guy. I hope

507
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: you can let this go. That's not saying let it go.

508
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: I demand you to let it go. It's saying, ah,

509
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: the guy served his country thirty five years. I hope

510
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: this isn't a big deal. I hope this ends well.

511
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: I hope it's not a problem. Why wouldn't he say that?

512
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: Who would want a thirty five year veteran to to

513
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: end up with criminal charges for crying out loud? I

514
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: did not interrupt the president to protest that what he

515
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: was asking was inappropriate. I probably should have. You know what,

516
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: He always this isn't the thing about this boy, tries

517
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: to make himself out to be the best, talks about

518
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: how Obama praised him later in the book, and oh,

519
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: and and and John Kelly offered to resign over the

520
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: fiery I'm not sure I even believe that. No idea

521
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: whether or not anything in the dossier is true, no

522
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: idea if that it was soiled in Moscow. Um and

523
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: then the psychological news what is happening now is not normal,

524
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: It's not fake news. It's not okay. Well, and then

525
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: he admits that his wife and daughter voted for Hillary

526
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: and marched in the the Women's March. You know it's

527
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, what point is this mess here gonna end?

528
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: It just seems to be no end to this. You know,

529
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: where's the evidence in a case like this of Ryan's

530
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: previous He says he seemed both confused and irritated Hillary

531
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: Clinton through the email investigation and the election looming large.

532
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: He writes that he would never met Clinton and offers

533
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: no assessment of her, but he loves Barack Obama. I

534
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: love James Clapper, the leader I admired most in government.

535
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: Didn't James Clapper light to Congress? Why didn't he get

536
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: in trouble? Now, the President rightly points out that, well,

537
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: he's told a lot of lies in his day. And

538
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 1: you know, remember the Democrats hated Jim Comey, absolutely despised him.

539
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: And you know, he's the guy that said, I've never

540
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 1: leaked under oath. He said he never leaked. Well he

541
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: did leak. He leaked that information to the Columbia professor.

542
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: So he lied to Congress all stuff that would get

543
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, Leon Halms. They only the little people pay tax.

544
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: Only the rest of us are subject to the laws

545
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 1: of the land. That's where we now are with these guys.

546
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: You know, he always tells the truth, you know. And

547
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: and even he said the President had a right to

548
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 1: fire him. And by the way, I think it was

549
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 1: now in retrospect, probably the best thing we've ever the

550
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: president has ever done. You know, he wants to say

551
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: he's like this boy scout figure, you know, only he

552
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: has a connection to truth and reality. Democrats hated remember

553
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton be about to partisan pressure. Nancy Pelosi called

554
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: him a political hack who threw Molotov cocktails. The politically

555
00:31:55,240 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: damaged Democrats. Chris Sliza said, Comey is a aupical Washington

556
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: insider and all of these people hated him. Harry Reid

557
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: says he needs to be fired. Well he gets fired,

558
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: and now Democrats hated him, but now they like him.

559
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: Unbelievable times. All right, let me roll along. All right,

560
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: we'll check out with Duke King Rich. President just tweeted out,

561
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: d O J just issued the McCabe report, which is

562
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: a total disaster, which we're going over now. He lied, lied, lied,

563
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: McCabe was totally controlled by Comy. McCabe is comy. No collusion,

564
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: all made up by this den of thieves and low

565
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: lives ouch. And I was reminded by a friend on

566
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: Twitter that when McCabe was fired, he called me tweeted out,

567
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: oh he stood tall for the last eight months. Okay,

568
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: that's in. The President elect Trump's first question was to

569
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: confirm that it had no impact on the election, and

570
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: then the conversation, to my surprise, moved into a pr

571
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: conversation about how the Trump team would position this and

572
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: what they could say about this. They actually started talking

573
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: about drafting a press release with us still sitting there.

574
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: And the reason that was so striking to me is

575
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: that that's just not done. That the intelligence community does intelligence,

576
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: the White House does pr and spin. You also said

577
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: you were struck by what they didn't ask very much.

578
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: No one, to my recollection, asked, so, what what's coming

579
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: next from the Russians? How might we stop it? What's

580
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: the future look like? It was all, what can we

581
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: say about what they did and how it affects the

582
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: election that we just had. Was there any choice there? Why?

583
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: If this was salacious and this particular part of the

584
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: dossier unverified, still unverified by the way, yes, so far

585
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: as when I got fired, it was unverified. Did you

586
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: tell him that the Steel dossier had been financed by

587
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: his political opponents? No, I didn't. I didn't even think

588
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: I used the term steel duscy. I just talked about

589
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: additional material. But did he have a right to know

590
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: that that had been financed by his political opponents? That

591
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. It wasn't necessary

592
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: for my goal, which was to alert him that we

593
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: had this information. How graphic did you get? I think

594
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: as graphic as I needed to be. And I started

595
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: to tell him about the allegation was that he had

596
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: been involved with prostitutes in a hotel in Moscow in

597
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: two thousand thirteen during a visit for the Miss Universe pageant,

598
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: and that the Russians had filmed the episode. And he

599
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: interrupted very defensively, and I started talking about it, you know,

600
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: do I look like a guy who needs hookers? And

601
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: I assumed he was asking that rhetorically. I didn't answer that,

602
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: and then I just moved on and explained. So I'm

603
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: not saying that we credit this. I'm not saying we

604
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: believe it. We just thought it very important that you know,

605
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: did you tell him you thought it wasn't true or

606
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: he didn't know if it was true or not. I

607
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: never said I don't believe it, because I couldn't say

608
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: one way or another. How weird was that briefing really weird?

609
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: It was almost an add of body experience for me.

610
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 1: I was floating above myself, looking down, saying, you're sitting here.

611
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: Briefly the incoming president United States about prostitutes in Moscow

612
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: janu and a private dinner in the White House. President

613
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 1: Trump raises the issue again, says he may want me

614
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: to investigate it to prove that it didn't happen, and

615
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: then he says something that distracted me because he said,

616
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: you know, if there's even a one percent chance my

617
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: wife thinks that's true, that's terrible. And I remember thinking,

618
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: how could your wife think there's a one percent chance

619
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: you were with prostitutes being at each other in Moscow.

620
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 1: I'm a flawed human being, but there's literally zero chance

621
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: that my wife would think that was true. So what

622
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: kind of marriage to what kind of man? Does your

623
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: wife think? There's only a chance you didn't do that?

624
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 1: All right? That's from the James Comey Interviews set the

625
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: air on the Sunday night on ABC one. Shawn as

627
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: part of the program, Uh, Callmey was struck that Trump's

628
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: people weren't more concerned about the future future Russian involvement.

629
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: It was all about pr But the FBI and Obama

630
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: were warned by Devin Newness. So this idea that they

631
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: didn't know and all of a sudden, this is all

632
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: fresh and new to them. That is not true, and

633
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: come call me. Obsessed with the Steele dossier, Uh, it's

634
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: still unverified that why was it used as the bulk

635
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: of information for a fiser warrant? And presented before a

636
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: FISA court, And why didn't he tell the FISER judge

637
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: that in fact Hillary bought and paid for this information

638
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: a foreign national using Russian sources, and that it was

639
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: never verified as the law requires or that FBI protocol requires.

640
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: And the last point there, I never said I didn't

641
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: believe the the hookers urinating on a bed story. I

642
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: it's just really, this is what I've never seen anything

643
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: this petty alright, eight nine for one Seawn toll free

644
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: telephone number if you want to be a part of

645
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: the program joining us now. Former Speaker of the House

646
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: New ging rich Um. I don't know the extent to

647
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: which you're following this interview and book as we now

648
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: do our deep dive into it. He is the single

649
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe this guy was the ever the FBI

650
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: director in terms of the pettiness of everything that he's

651
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: talking about and discussing in this book and the way

652
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, talking about the president, you know, Sun Tanning

653
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: in the size of his hands and everything else. This

654
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: is the FBI director, sir. Well for the men. First

655
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: of all, I like Chris Watts this comment that it

656
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: was so bitchy you didn't want to pany attention to it.

657
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: It's true, but I think I think you missed the

658
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: greatest irony of the entire interview. Remember who was doing

659
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: the interviewing. This is Bill Clinton's press secretary. Yeah. Now,

660
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: if you wanted, if you wanted to have, if you

661
00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: wanted to have somebody who was totally appropriate to questions

662
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: about relations of females, etcetera, who could be better than

663
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's first secretary. I can't deny any of that news,

664
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, the the idea that we're at this point.

665
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: Here's the most damning thing in my mind is we

666
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: now know, even though Rod Rosenstein did d o J,

667
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: the FBI have been stonewalling in terms of handing over documents.

668
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: We now know that the FISA court application, they lied

669
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: to the judges. They never verified and corroborated what was

670
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: in this dossier this foreign national put together that Hillary

671
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: paid for. And not only that, they didn't inform the

672
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: judges that in fact, it was not just a footnote.

673
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 1: It may have political implications. She paid for it. They

674
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,720
Speaker 1: knew she paid for it. So to me, he's actually

675
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: damned himself in this interview. Well, they dammy and stuff.

676
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: I really like the bulational way up together a new

677
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: site called lion Comy dot com and they have on

678
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: their the video of I think eight or nine different

679
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: Democratic leaders all condemning Comy in the most fierce language. Uh.

680
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: And you look at that and you think, if he's

681
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: any if every Americans saw that segment, that we don't understand.

682
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: This is a guy who is totally self absorbed. He

683
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: is deeply offended that he was fired. He is gonna

684
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: get even, and he is throwing the kitchen sink and

685
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: it tells you how sick. I think it tells you

686
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: how sick the system is. That this was the director

687
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I mean, this is

688
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: the most petty, mean spirited, dishonest person to show up

689
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: like this. It's astonishing. It's literally and I proticted the

690
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: longer he's the laundry's interviewed, the weaker he's gonna look

691
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: and the and the more people are gonna shrug him off.

692
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: Is kind of pathetic. I think that's all happening. And

693
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: there is no real big bombshell in the book that

694
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: that anybody is really gleaned from this thing yet, although

695
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: except I think nothing that that at least advances his cause,

696
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: which was always it seems to get Donald Trump. And

697
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't even really try to hide his his utter

698
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: contempt for the president. I mean, that's that that takes

699
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: my breath away. Well, one of one of his lines

700
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: was that the Trump was sort of sitting on the throne, right.

701
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: We read it three times to always sitting behind the

702
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: presidential desk in the Oval Office. Now, I've been in

703
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: the Oval Office with a lot of different presidents, and

704
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: I've had a number of the ship behind the desk.

705
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: It never occurred to me that was a prone. But

706
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:44,760
Speaker 1: but it tells you something about uh, Comey's personally inadequacies,

707
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: that that he has this deep sense of you know, uh,

708
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: there's a there's a piece I saw, was a piece

709
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: I saw earlier, the piece I saw earlier today that uh,

710
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: he had going to see Obama and he just wanted

711
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: to ask Obama with you really do all right? And

712
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: you read this this court from his being in with

713
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: all violence, and you think this is like a seventh

714
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: grader seeking approval um. And of course he didn't want

715
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 1: to approve of from Trump. He didn't like Trump, he

716
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: didn't want Trump to be there. He did everything he could,

717
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: There's no doubt in my mind. But the FBI knowingly

718
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: didn't tell the federal judge this is a Clinton campaign

719
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: document because they wanted to get the fives and war,

720
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: because they wanted to get somebody and the Trump team,

721
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: because they wanted to set the stage for exactly what

722
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 1: we're going through. Uh. And I think the whole thing

723
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: is tainted. And and there I have to say, by

724
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: the way, you've done great work with Alan Dershowitz of

725
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: these things, and as as as an old time liberal, uh.

726
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: Dershowitz is a great college with essor at Harvard has

727
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: really come on strong and explaining just how sick this

728
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: whole system is. Here, Here's what happened, Mr Speaker, Here's

729
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: what we know. And I bring this up every time,

730
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: but is the magnitude of this. I think people really

731
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: need to just take take this in and absorb this.

732
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: We we have the former head of the d n

733
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: C said Hillary, the d n C rigged the primary,

734
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: She stole the primary from Bernie Sanders. That this is

735
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: the United States. Then we have a situation where we

736
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: know Hillary committed multiple felonies crimes, you know, and then

737
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: of course the obstruction aspect of the leading and acid

738
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: washing and breaking up devices. Then we have Comey exonerating

739
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, writing an exoneration months before he even investigates

740
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: her or seventeen other people. The person that does the

741
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: interview of Hillary Clinton is Peter Struck, the big Trump

742
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: paiter himself and in conjunction with Comey, and then they

743
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 1: don't tell the Physo Court judge, this is a political

744
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: paid document that we didn't verify or corroborate in any way,

745
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 1: because he even admits in this interview and in this

746
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: book that he never to that he still has not

747
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 1: corroborated anything in that dossier. But yet that dossier was

748
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: the bull of information to get a FISA warrant us

749
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: buy on an American who happened to be part of

750
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: the opposition party campaign. This is the United States are

751
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: He's alluded to some reference that that that there's a

752
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: classified document that indicates the Attorney General or Refrench was

753
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: doing things that were legal. I mean, you know, I

754
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,399
Speaker 1: think they dig into this, it just gets worse. And

755
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 1: but but what I must think you remember is the

756
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: Saumous Lee game. This was the head of the Federal

757
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: Bureau of Investigation. These are the power to put you

758
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: in jail. These are people to make your life miserable.

759
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 1: And if they don't follow cheerfully the rule of law,

760
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: they threaten all of us. Because think about it, if

761
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: they will do this to the President of States, what

762
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: will they do to you and me? Well, they do

763
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: the every every listener in the country. And I think

764
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 1: that's why Thomas Jefferson insisted on the Bill of Rights

765
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: being added the Constitution because so deeply distrusted government power. Uh.

766
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: And what you're seeing a people who are just breaking

767
00:43:56,320 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: down the Bill of Rights and the Constitution and willfully

768
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: pursuing political vendettas in a way that we I don't

769
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: think we've ever seen in American history. All Right, when

770
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 1: we come back with speaking ing rich we are going

771
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: to go over some of the lies that we know

772
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,840
Speaker 1: James Comey is telling and what it may mean for

773
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: his future. Don't forget, by the way, new King Richie,

774
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: you can still sign up for your course, right, Oh yeah,

775
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: this is still available Defending Democracy dot of course dot

776
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: com and lakes to exact us as a whole section

777
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: on the Bill of Rights and on the rule of

778
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: law and why it's so important. And I did the

779
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: course in order to have young people who don't get

780
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,320
Speaker 1: this education anymore, to have them learn about what America

781
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: is all about. Uh, these are very strange times. We

782
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: live in former Speaker of the House, New king Ridge

783
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: with us exactly right. I don't think we've ever seen

784
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: the level of intensity. Frankly, I'm not sure how any

785
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: Democrats really like James Coney. He's not a really likable guy.

786
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that that what we're seeing, and

787
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm mentioned to watch this coming. We do. I

788
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: think he's the kind the personality that doesn't wear very well,

789
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: and he's like the brother in law that you don't

790
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: mind have come over for a couple of cups. You

791
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: don't think we wanted to stay for dinner, and uh,

792
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: I just think, yeah, I'm not telling anybody particular, but anyhow,

793
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: I think I think he's the kind of guy who

794
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: the more you listen to him talk more you realize

795
00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: that his world is about James Kuhn. You know, everything

796
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: is about him. And of course what Donald Trump did

797
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: was he fired him. And so what you've got is

798
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: an embittered former employer employee who was fired, who is

799
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: now doing anything he can to dump on the guy

800
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: who fired him. And I think in the end, Trump's

801
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: gonna call it just fine. People are gonna say, you know, look,

802
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: look at the given this guy's given, this guy's ego,

803
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I'd have fired him too. You know, he says he

804
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,280
Speaker 1: never leaked. We know he leaked to the Columbia Professor,

805
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: to the New York Times, right. Um. You know, he

806
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: claims he was wrongly fired. But the truth is, uh,

807
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: he did a lot of things that he shouldn't have done,

808
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 1: and every Democrat didn't want him in that position, all

809
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: those Democrat you know, he says he's not political. It's

810
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: obvious he's political. So everything that he's saying here is

811
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: just absolutely false. And yet in all of this book,

812
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't see anything that the idea that Donald Trump said, Hey, listen,

813
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: I why you to prove this docier false, especially the

814
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: salacious nonsense um. And he acts like that as a

815
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 1: puzzling question, because even if there's one percent that my

816
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: wife thinks that that could be true, I don't. I

817
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 1: don't want her to believe that. It seems that Donald

818
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: Trump's reaction is normal. You know, here's a simple test

819
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: where where rod Rod Rosenstein is frankly cheating the whole country.

820
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: There are three There are three memos that Comey wrote

821
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 1: after he saw Donald Trump. All three memos are still

822
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 1: sitting at Justice because Rosenstein will not release them. Now,

823
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 1: if we have to read the whole book, we should

824
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: wait and see what are what are these three members?

825
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: Why aren't they releasing him? I'm told that actually the

826
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: memos totally exonerate Donald Trump and undercut all of the

827
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: posture and that we're getting out. I think we have

828
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 1: we need one point two million documents that we're waiting for.

829
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: We also have the I G. Report that we're waiting for,

830
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 1: and so much more. Mr Speaker, We always appreciate your insight.

831
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: Thank you. You break it down as simply as anyone

832
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: could ever ask for. Eight nine one, Shawn our number

833
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: when we come back. Sarah Carterway's into today's news, Greg

834
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,760
Speaker 1: Jareded David Shoon Also, Yeah, Trump has pardoned Scooter Libby,

835
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 1: the former chief of staff of the former Vice President,

836
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 1: Dick Cheney. Glad to hear it. He never should have

837
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: been pardoned a long time ago. In my opinion, quick

838
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: break right back will continue. This isn't the first division

839
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, and I was I was, um, I

840
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: remember the Knickson administration, I remember Watergate. We have a

841
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: president now who was under investigation. Some people are calling

842
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: for his impeachment. I don't actually think that's that's that

843
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: great of an idea, because I think that if Donal

844
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: Trump's leave office, it should be through political means, not

845
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: early through judicial Who needs TV guide when they have

846
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: potus will show you exactly what President Trump was promoting

847
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: for his Twitter page last night. It was one of

848
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: his stooges doing a show that really helps the president.

849
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: It's incredible, staggering. Bob Mueller, whatever you want to say

850
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: about him, this is not taking a position on his investigation.

851
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: Is a man who has served this country for his

852
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: entire life. So to call him the head of a

853
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: crime family, um, that's new territory. It's beneath contempt. Sean

854
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: Hannity is a desperate, desperate man desperately defending a desperate

855
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: desperate president. Phil If I can, I want to get

856
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: your reaction to Sean Hannity calling Robert Muller a crime boss.

857
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: I've spent four and a half years by Robert Mueller.

858
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: This is a storied prosecutor, one of the most legendary

859
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: FBI directors. So you've got that dirt bag telling me

860
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,279
Speaker 1: that one of the most storied FBI directors ever is

861
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: a crime boss. You put him side by side, and

862
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: you tell me what we got here, John, Facts or facts?

863
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: Robert Mueller's an American legend. The president is a dirt bag.

864
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I'm

865
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: so piste off. When President Trump's tweets tonight he said,

866
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: big show on Sean Hannity at nine o'clock on Fox. Uh, well,

867
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 1: if you watched Hannity, you would see this the show

868
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: hitting James Comey and highlighting what Hannity calls the Mueller

869
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: crime family. This is a message that the president wants

870
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: Mr free. Over sixty people have invoked the Fifth Amendment

871
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: or fled the country in the course of the committee's investigation.

872
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 1: Have you ever experienced so many unavailable witnesses in any

873
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: matter in which you've prosecuted or in which you've been involved? Actually,

874
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: I have you have, um give me a give me

875
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: a rundown on that real quickly. I spent about sixteen

876
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: years doing organized crime cases in New York City, and

877
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: many people were frequently unavailable. All right, there's the media

878
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: freak out. You know, the irony of it is. I

879
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 1: was telling the media, oh, okay, well, if James Comey

880
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: is going to come pair the President of the United

881
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: States to a mob boss, and then we find out

882
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: last night that the mob the person he was referring

883
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: to Sammy the Bull Gravano, who had killed nineteen people.

884
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: You know, you talk, what do you think about mob?

885
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: Do you think about extortion and drug dealing and money

886
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: laundering and murder? Uh? So, I said, okay, we'll use

887
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: the Comey standard and we'll say, fine, it's the Mueller

888
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: crime family, the Clinton crime family, and the Komey crime family.

889
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,320
Speaker 1: Obviously we are trying to make a point. Obviously we succeeded. Anyway,

890
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 1: eight one, Shawn told free telephone number if you want

891
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Getting reaction to

892
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: Coomey's book. I am so it is not shocking how

893
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,320
Speaker 1: bad this book really is. And now the question is

894
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: is has it put him in legal jeopardy himself? Beyond

895
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: the pettiness of it, the mean spirited nous of it. Um,

896
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: the amazing thing is how little interaction even had with Trump,

897
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: and and all he did was regurgitate what he had

898
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: already said, although I think he made a missteps. Greg Jarrett,

899
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: Fox News Legal analyst, Sarah Carter investigative reporter, Fox News contributor,

900
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: Civil rights in criminal defense attorney David Chona with us.

901
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: Thank you all. Greg, I know you had a chance

902
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: to glance at this as well. What are your overall impressions. Yeah,

903
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: I read the book last night. I had to hand

904
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,960
Speaker 1: it back, but it's it's a quick read because it's

905
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: a bad read short. It's poorly written. Um. What struck

906
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: me is that the publisher must have been begging Coming

907
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: give me something. Here's the problem. Coming really never had

908
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: much interaction with Trump. Yeah, he had dinner one night

909
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 1: with him, and a couple of private conversations with him,

910
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: so you could feel, you know, Coming straining to try

911
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: to inflate those conversations to make them you know, important

912
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: or meaningful, and they're not. Uh. And the rest of

913
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: the book is really just a love letter from Comy

914
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: to himself. I'm, you know, the greatest person in the world.

915
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm so smart, I'm secure to you on the equivalent

916
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,719
Speaker 1: of the Vicar of Christ. I mean, it goes on

917
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 1: and on and on, it's it's actually nauseating. Um. But

918
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: in terms of substance, there's nothing there. I got no

919
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: substance out of this so far, Sarah Carter and I,

920
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, as I looked through out of the amount

921
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: of lies that we know we're told here, Remember, Democrats

922
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: hated him more than Republicans for a long time. He

923
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: lied about himself never leaking, because we know he did

924
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: link leak. You know, he says he's wrongfully fired, but

925
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 1: the president has the right to fire. He admitted such. Um.

926
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: He says he's not political, but he had full confidence

927
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: that Hillary was gonna win and wanted to make sure

928
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: she was a legitimate president, and therefore brought up the

929
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: Anthony we Weener emails, which we now know they had

930
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: a month before. But they were trying not to get out.

931
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 1: And I'm just wondering here to you, you know, what

932
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: are the other big takeaways you get from this? I

933
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: think the biggest takeaway shine that I got out of this.

934
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: And you know, and I have not read the book yet.

935
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: I do not I don't have access to the book yet.

936
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: I want to be very clear. This is based on

937
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: excerpts that ABC has put out there and others, um And.

938
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,319
Speaker 1: I'm sure Greg would maybe want to chime in on

939
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: this or David. But one of the biggest things was

940
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: the fact that he failed and did not purposefully tell

941
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 1: the president when he briefed him on the dossier that

942
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: it was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and

943
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee. I found that actually kind of stunning.

944
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,319
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're going to brief someone on a

945
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: dossier that you yourself said is unverified and fallacious, you

946
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 1: would think that the most important point that you would

947
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: want to breathe them on is the fact that it

948
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: was paid for by political opponents, right and um Comi

949
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: himself admits uh and and very um weekly discusses his

950
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: reasoning behind this, admits that he didn't even tell President

951
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: elect Trump at that point he was president elect about

952
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: that and and when asked why, he basically just kind

953
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: of let it goal. I didn't think it was important. Well,

954
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: you didn't think that was important. That's like one of

955
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: the most significant things. Imagine if that had happened the

956
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 1: other way around. Imagine if they were briefing Hillary Clinton

957
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: and it was the other way around, on a dossier

958
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: that was unverified, uh, that had salacious comments about her

959
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: in their false comments, and never once decided to tell

960
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: her that it was being paid for by the Trump campaign.

961
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: Could you imagine what would happen on the Democratic side

962
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: if it was the other way around. So I found

963
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: that to be a big takeaway from me. I look

964
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: forward to reading his book and having more takeaways like that.

965
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: And also David shown he was He only said it

966
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: was salacious and unverified, didn't tell the president where the

967
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: information came from, that it was bought and paid for.

968
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: But the FISER warrant three months earlier to spy on

969
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: an opposition party candidate. Now the FBI hadn't. The FISAL

970
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 1: laws are clear that they must corroborate and verify what

971
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: they bring before a fis a judge and a warrant,

972
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: And similarly, they didn't do that in order they follow

973
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,360
Speaker 1: up BI protocols. And it was the bulk of information

974
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: used to get to get that FISA warrant to spy

975
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: on a Trump campaign associate just before the campaign. Three

976
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: months later, he's saying something entirely different to the president.

977
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: So he either lied or President Elect he either lied

978
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 1: that or or they lied to the FISA judges, which

979
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: isn't hard to imagine something more dangerous in our judicial system.

980
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,279
Speaker 1: What there's a reason there's a heightened standard before the

981
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: FISA Court, and it's obvious to everyone, And I don't

982
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: know why everyone wouldn't be incredibly, incredibly troubled by this.

983
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm afraid though, you know, with all the talk about

984
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: the book by the way, I didn't read it. I

985
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 1: can't get test the self agrandizing title higher loyalty not

986
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,200
Speaker 1: for me, but I might need different the same reasons

987
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 1: I read some other junks. But um, I'm afraid people

988
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: are going to forget about the very trumping conflict between

989
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: the stories told by Mr Comey and Mr McCay. You

990
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: know that was front and center for a bit. And

991
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: I'm afraid the book tour people trying to raise the

992
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty dollars from the tickets to see

993
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: Mr Comey and his poor uh gonna sidetrack things from

994
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: the real issues. That's why I land Sarah by the way,

995
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: brought it back now to what the real issues are

996
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: in this, as you always do, Mr Hennity, Let me

997
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: go to Greg, do you see any legal jeopardy as

998
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: as Comey now goes forward in all of this, Oh,

999
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: I absolutely do. Um. He violated the in my judgment

1000
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 1: um the abuse of power statute in you know, filing

1001
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: the FISA warrant. Um. Also that's perjury. He stole government documents,

1002
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 1: including classified information, which is a violation of the law. Uh.

1003
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: And he may have obstructed justice, it appears to me

1004
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: did in claring Hillary Clinton. So you know things are

1005
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,040
Speaker 1: going to end badly for for James Comey. And I

1006
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,240
Speaker 1: hope he makes a load of money off his book

1007
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: and his tour because he's going to need it for

1008
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: his cronical defense. What do you make of the absolute

1009
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: the pettiness of this Uh. Chris Walls had a comment

1010
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 1: he couldn't believe the bitchiness and at all his words,

1011
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: not mine, um, but I mean comy talking about the

1012
00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 1: size of the president's ends and and speculating if he

1013
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: uses a tanning bed. And I mean it still it

1014
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: was as I read it it really it was everything

1015
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,959
Speaker 1: I could do not to vomit in the bar bag

1016
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: next to me, you know, I mean it was. It

1017
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: was so over the top. I don't actually think he

1018
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: wrote this book. I think they must have hired, you know,

1019
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: some novelists to try to you know Trump it up

1020
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: um and uh, because it's totally inflated. The fact of

1021
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:35,120
Speaker 1: the matter is he had very little contact and interaction

1022
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: with the President Um. And so the fact that you

1023
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: know he tried to you know, the the p tape

1024
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: and the semi the bull reference, I mean, these were

1025
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 1: all things that were conjured out of thin air by

1026
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: somebody else to make it. Here's a question, and let

1027
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: me throw this. But he's still to this day doesn't

1028
00:57:57,200 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: know whether or not the allegations and the sea are true.

1029
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 1: He says that in the interview. But but here's the

1030
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: point that Dassier was the bulk of the information used

1031
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: to get a Fizer warrant, and he's still to this

1032
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: day can't say if it's true. So that means that

1033
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: that means the Fiser law wasn't followed and FBI protocols

1034
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: weren't fired followed. That's exactly on point Sean, And and

1035
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: that's you would have thought, like in this book he

1036
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,439
Speaker 1: would have had some big revelation and he didn't. In fact,

1037
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: it just reaffirms the fact that nothing has changed here,

1038
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: that this was based on faltified information. And by the way,

1039
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: comparing him to the President of the United States to

1040
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: a mob boss that has done killings. Is it is incredible. Now,

1041
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: if you're going to talk about comparing situations to organize crime,

1042
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: just go back to that Louis Free Uh, the hearing

1043
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: where Louis Free was was talking about how difficult it

1044
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 1: was for both the FBI and for Congress to get

1045
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,439
Speaker 1: anybody to talk about the iNTS. I mean, they had

1046
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: at that point in time by the time we Free

1047
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: was questioning them on on foreign campaign illegal foreign campaign

1048
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: finance from China, which they knew the you know, the

1049
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee had moved some money in from the

1050
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:19,640
Speaker 1: Chinese for the campaign. Over sixty five people had either

1051
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: fled the country or pled the fifth They weren't even

1052
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,479
Speaker 1: going to answer any questions. And then he compared that

1053
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: to organized crime, you know, during the hearing, that's a

1054
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: real reason. I mean, he's trying to compare a president

1055
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,440
Speaker 1: of the United States with a crime boss, saying that

1056
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: this is how he acts. No, this is completely false

1057
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: on its nature. He has no facts. Um, it's just

1058
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 1: his own feelings and that's how he feels. And apparently

1059
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: he felt very hurt by the fact that he was fired.

1060
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: But the president had all the authority to fire him.

1061
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 1: And let's remember I didn't want him. And as we

1062
00:59:56,880 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: continue with the attorney, David Shona's with us grant, it

1063
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 1: is whether Sarah Carter is with us the president today

1064
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: David gave a full part in to Scooter Libby. Now

1065
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: what's interesting about this is well, that was the last

1066
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: big special prosecutor we have and that was quote obstruction

1067
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,920
Speaker 1: of justice because they couldn't get him on the underlying crime.

1068
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 1: And as it related to the Valerie Plane case, what's

1069
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: so interesting is Patrick Fitzgerald, who was the special counsel there,

1070
01:00:24,440 --> 01:00:28,479
Speaker 1: prosecutor there. Um he if you remember, on day one,

1071
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: found out who had leaked information about Valerie Plane and

1072
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: it ended up being Richard Armaitish. But he kept going

1073
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: and going and look where we ended up there. He

1074
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,919
Speaker 1: was a good man. This life was ruined. I don't

1075
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: know that the president needed this, which the pushback he's

1076
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: going to get from this right now with everything else

1077
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: that's going on. But I want to just get back

1078
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 1: to one other point you made. You said earlier Kennedy

1079
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: that Comey still doesn't know but the veracity of the warrants,

1080
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: the warrant application and all that birds of a feather.

1081
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 1: This this is a pattern with all of these folks

1082
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: you've talked before about Andrew Weisman. I couldn't begin to

1083
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: tell you the number of warrants for surveillance and searches

1084
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: and seizures that afterwards turned out to be based on

1085
01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 1: completely false information on people who are known liars and

1086
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: represented as otherwise to the court. This is uh, this

1087
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 1: is an ad or long standing pattern. And as for

1088
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: the point that Mr Comey ought to be careful, he's

1089
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: going to be prosecuted. The question is who's going to prosecute?

1090
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 1: The Justice Department right now seems missing in action. Hopefully

1091
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Michael Harrowitz is hard at work, But who's going to

1092
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,800
Speaker 1: bring the prosecutions? Everything seems one sided? Now, Yeah, well,

1093
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: it certainly seems one sided because all the issues we bring,

1094
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: we can't even get the materials. And Sarah, that's the

1095
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: whole point. I mean that you have Bob good Lad,

1096
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: how's judiciary, He's requesting one point two million documents, were

1097
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: still waiting for the Inspector General report on the Hill

1098
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: or email server scandal. It's like, how long does all

1099
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: of this take when he's got five d people working

1100
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: for him? Yeah, it's enormously frustrating and for you know,

1101
01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: especially for members of Congress who are in their investor

1102
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 1: stigators who are continually trying to get this information and

1103
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: having to battle every single day, the exhaustion of having

1104
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 1: to battle the d o J and the FBI in

1105
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: order to get these documents. You know, judicial watches doing

1106
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,479
Speaker 1: the same. They've requested these documents over and over again,

1107
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: particularly the text messages and communications of former Deputy Director

1108
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe, who is now facing possible indictment and criminal

1109
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: charges for lying four times, uh and under oaths. Then

1110
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: you go back and look at everything that happened during

1111
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton investigation and how there was enormous double

1112
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: standards in that investigation, and and they're investigating that as well.

1113
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: So this is why it's taking so much time, because

1114
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: people are fighting tooth and nail inside the FBI and

1115
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: inside the d o J not to give up these documents.

1116
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: Was there any choice there? Uh? Why if this was

1117
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 1: salacious and this particular part of the dossier unverified still

1118
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: unverified by the way US so far as when I

1119
01:03:01,800 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: got fired it was unverified. Did you tell him that

1120
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: the steel DOSCI had been financed by his political opponents. No,

1121
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't even think I used the term

1122
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: steel dossie. I just talked about additional material. But did

1123
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: he have a right to know that that have been

1124
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: financed by his political opponents? That I don't know the

1125
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: answer to that. It wasn't necessary for my goal, which

1126
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: was to alert him that we had this information. Democrats

1127
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 1: have been very critical of James Comey, and many of

1128
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: us did call for his resignation. Well, I was appalled

1129
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:37,040
Speaker 1: by what Director Coley did, call me acted in an

1130
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: outrageous way, name mistake. Maybe he's not in the right job.

1131
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Howard Dean, former Democratic Kennedy for President, says, quote, he

1132
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 1: may have destroyed the credibility of the FBI forever. This

1133
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 1: was a very serious error judgment. The President was the

1134
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,919
Speaker 1: fire cody immediately and he worded to initiate an investigation.

1135
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: What he did was unprecedented and outrageous. Dan image the

1136
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: institutional law enforcement in this country the lowest moment in

1137
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: the history of the FBI. I found it hard to

1138
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: believe that Comey, who I thought had some degree of integrity,

1139
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 1: would do this. All I can tell you is the

1140
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: FBI director has no credibility. All right, that's the Democrats

1141
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 1: trashing Comey. Oh but now they love Comey nine one,

1142
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 1: Shawn Toldfrey telephone number your calls at the bottom of

1143
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: the hour. Uh. And of course, oh why bother telling

1144
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: the president that Hillary was the one that paid for

1145
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: the phony Russian dossier. Unbelievable? All right, joining us now,

1146
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: It's always good to have back on the program. Danielle McLaughlin, attorney,

1147
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: constitutional expert, wrote the Federalist Society. Jonathan Gillum, author of

1148
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: the book Sheep No More. Uh, Danielle, let's start with you. Uh,

1149
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 1: it's not pertinent to tell the fis, a court or

1150
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: the president elect three months later that the dossier was

1151
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Hillary bought and paid for. And of course they don't

1152
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: even know to this day whether or not the formation

1153
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: of the dossier is true, and we believe it all

1154
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: not to be true. It's such feel and great to

1155
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 1: be here. You know. One thing I will say is

1156
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: that there was a footnote in the finest application that

1157
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: indicated that a person who was a political opponent of

1158
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the president had had had funded the dossier. Number two.

1159
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: What Commany said was at the time when he briefed

1160
01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 1: the president on the very it's an embarrassing and and

1161
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: and delicate issue. His purpose was not to talk about

1162
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: the source, but rather the fact that this information was

1163
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: out there in circulating, and I think he wanted to

1164
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: let the president know that. I think that was real

1165
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 1: and rational. And what's your what's your take, Jonathan gil

1166
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: You know, Sean, I've been watching UH comys, all of

1167
01:05:39,720 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 1: us have for quite a while now, and I'm not

1168
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: surprised by anything that this guy has done. I think

1169
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: the fact that he is so quickly writing a book

1170
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: in the and the childish language that has been put

1171
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: out so far that's in this book is ridiculous. But

1172
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, I saw on Fox News dot Comma they're

1173
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 1: saying that he gives some possible in site into what

1174
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch did. Well, it's the same thing with all

1175
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: this stuff. You know, he is not like many of

1176
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court justice and people that did the o J.

1177
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: He is not a neutral UH participant in law enforcements.

1178
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he was probably liked as an attorney

1179
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: and he's definitely not like that here. And what we're

1180
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: seeing is somebody who was completely unqualified to do the

1181
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: job to leave the FBI He was not a trained investigator.

1182
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: He was an attorney, and he doesn't understand that an

1183
01:06:29,440 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 1: investigation should be led by the evidence, and if the

1184
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: evidence is manufactured, the investigation is no good. But yet

1185
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: when you take that, when you take the stuff that

1186
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: was said by Loretta Lynch on the tarmac, which he says,

1187
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,320
Speaker 1: if it had been known by the public, it would

1188
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: have caused real problems. All these things are what investigators

1189
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: look at as no goes. They see that it stops,

1190
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 1: and then they start looking at the reality of where

1191
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: now this new evidence is leading, which was never done.

1192
01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: It was just kind of looked over. A political opponent

1193
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: paid for the dossier. Well, us look past that. It's

1194
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 1: very very strange and very leftist in my opinion, you know,

1195
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 1: I just look at all of this, and how is

1196
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: it possible, Danielle, that you're going to use a political

1197
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: document of a foreign national that uses Russian sources nobody

1198
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 1: even knows who they really are, and it's bought and

1199
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: paid for by one campaign, then used to get a

1200
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:25,840
Speaker 1: FIES warrant on another campaign, And I'm trying to understand

1201
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: that that call me allowed all of that to happen.

1202
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: And then still three months later wouldn't tell the president

1203
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: what had happened here or that who had paid for

1204
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: it here. Isn't that lying to a judge if you

1205
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: withhold that kind of information? And is it a part

1206
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: of the fiser law that is supposed to verify what's

1207
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: what's presented before a fies a judge And isn't an

1208
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: FBI protocol to do such. But I understand supporters of

1209
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:52,480
Speaker 1: the president, people voted for the president feel sick about

1210
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 1: the idea that a political opposition document was used and

1211
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 1: a fiser want. But what I will say is that

1212
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: the document that started a store was was not the dossier.

1213
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: It was information from an ally from the Five Eyes

1214
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: ally with Australian diplomat who talked to Papadopolis, you know,

1215
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,479
Speaker 1: months and took the two thousand and sixteen Papadoptas said

1216
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 1: Russia has damaging emails on Hillary Clinton. The diplomat didn't

1217
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:20,480
Speaker 1: do anything until Wiki Leaks started publishing John Podesta's emails

1218
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 1: and Australia got in touch with our law enforcement and said, look,

1219
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 1: this is what we heard. You probably need to look

1220
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: into this. Yes, the dossier was part and parcel of

1221
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: these fines applications. It wasn't the only thing I understand.

1222
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,799
Speaker 1: There's a visit if it feels wrong that political opposition

1223
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: research was used. But it was made clear to But

1224
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:41,240
Speaker 1: that's no, no, no, no, it was not made clear

1225
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: to the Fiser judge. A footnote doesn't make clear that

1226
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: this was brought and paid for by the opposition party.

1227
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 1: It may have been tainted. Note does not make that clear,

1228
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: and it was purposely withheld to the Fiser. Kai wo

1229
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 1: Now also they never verified it, James Comey says in

1230
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: this interview head to this day doesn't even know has

1231
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: no idea whether or not what was in the dossier

1232
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 1: is true, but he did know it was presented before

1233
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: the vis a judge. Do you go before a judge

1234
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: and present evidence that you don't corroborate from a foreign national, uh,

1235
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: citing Russian sources about you know, out outlandish conduct in

1236
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 1: this case of a presidential candidate, and you don't tell

1237
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 1: the judge we didn't verify that. When you present it,

1238
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be assumed it's true. You would never

1239
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 1: make a representation to a court that you were putting

1240
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 1: something in front of the judge that was verified when

1241
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: it was not. You would never put something in front

1242
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 1: of a court that was based on, you know, selacious

1243
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: rumors without actually telling the judge that, and then the

1244
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: judge makes their own decision. Ultimately, I know people are

1245
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 1: set about fires, I know people are up about the

1246
01:09:45,560 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: raid on Michael Cohen, But ultimately, these were judges that

1247
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: made these decisions, and I have to believe that they

1248
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,479
Speaker 1: were informed. I know there was a footnote. You have

1249
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: to believe, but you're you're not You're not following what

1250
01:09:56,439 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: happened here. We know that we know it wasn't corroborated Jonathan,

1251
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: and we know it wasn't verified. We know FBI protocols

1252
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 1: were not followed, the laws were not followed, and they

1253
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: presented it to the judge anyway, and that to quote

1254
01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,440
Speaker 1: the Grassly Graham memo, it was the bulk of information.

1255
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 1: And to quote Andrew McCabe who said, without any dossier,

1256
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have even applied for a pis a warrant? Right?

1257
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 1: You know, Sean, here's all this stuff that you're saying

1258
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: is is spot on. But here here's the thing that

1259
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: I want Danielle and the rest of the listeners to

1260
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: grasp is that when we when when people say on

1261
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: TV or on the radio, and they say, well, this

1262
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,320
Speaker 1: is what happened, or that is what happened. You don't

1263
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: really actually know if that's what happened, that's what we're

1264
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:42,040
Speaker 1: being told happened. And what I'm starting to see, you know,

1265
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg in front of Congress, that it was a

1266
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: perfect example of what's happening in this investigation. Perception is reality,

1267
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 1: and if people perceive it, that's all they're worried about.

1268
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 1: Let's have the country perceived that Comey was in the writer,

1269
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,200
Speaker 1: that Comey was doing this. And the same thing with

1270
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg and these people. Why they try to make you

1271
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: perceive that selling your information is the big problem. The

1272
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: reality is all of the social media platforms UH conspiring

1273
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 1: together to limit conservatives. That's the big problem. And the

1274
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: same thing here, the reality is not what we're being

1275
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: told you. Just because somebody reports it doesn't mean that

1276
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: it's true. And when we look at the summary report

1277
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: today by the Inspector General just came out just before

1278
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: the show today, you know, the summary of findings the

1279
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 1: misconduct UH. This misconduct report addresses the accuracy of statements

1280
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: made by then FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe of the

1281
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 1: FBIS Inspection Division and the Department of Justice Office of

1282
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: Inspector General concerning the disclosure of certain law enforcement sensitive

1283
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: information to a specific reporter, this particular case from the

1284
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,000
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, And it goes on from there, But

1285
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,560
Speaker 1: it goes on and talks at length about the misconduct

1286
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:58,639
Speaker 1: that has taken place here, and in addition to addressing

1287
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:02,679
Speaker 1: whether McCay black can are the Office of Inspector General

1288
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: addressed whether any FBI Department of Justice policies were violated.

1289
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 1: So they you know, again, we're going through this as

1290
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: we speak here. Well, the more on this tonight. But

1291
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: the Clinton email investigation, the Clinton Foundation investigation, call me

1292
01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: refuses to confirm the existence of the Clinton Foundation investigation

1293
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 1: and other investigations. Sean, what you're doing is looking at

1294
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: the totality of the circumstances. That's different than just listening

1295
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: to reports and saying, okay, well they reported this, so

1296
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: they reported that. When you look at the totality of

1297
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,320
Speaker 1: the circumstances, which is what you all are doing, you're saying, okay,

1298
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:38,280
Speaker 1: they're saying this, but let's look at everything else and

1299
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 1: let's let that guide us. That's why your reports. Catherine

1300
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:45,519
Speaker 1: Herritage's reports are I believe unbiased, whether people believe that

1301
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: they are or not. Because you all are focusing on

1302
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:51,360
Speaker 1: the truth, You're you're you're letting the investigation leave you.

1303
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 1: And that is not what the media fine large does

1304
01:12:54,720 --> 01:12:57,480
Speaker 1: and that is not the way that they present information.

1305
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: The combings, the Attorney General, these types of people, they

1306
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,759
Speaker 1: give you a perception. They don't give you the truth.

1307
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: And when you start looking at the totality of the circumstances,

1308
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 1: that never matches up to what these senior executive service

1309
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,799
Speaker 1: people who have no overwatched are telling the American public.

1310
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: And how do you respond to that, Danielle, I can

1311
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,599
Speaker 1: speak for myself, and your point is well taken. That

1312
01:13:20,640 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 1: we have media, we have bias and media, you know,

1313
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: across the ideological speectrum. I speak about what my views

1314
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 1: are on the FBI investigation and the way that the

1315
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: Department of Justice conducts itself based on my own experience

1316
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: being up against them as a defense attuney. So I

1317
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: wasn't in the room when the judge of profess fires

1318
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: a warrant, but my experience of working with Department of

1319
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 1: Justice working against something. But the point is you're you're

1320
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 1: assuming that things work out the right way, and we're

1321
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 1: assuming that they don't work out the right way, right right,

1322
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 1: So maybe we're on one and I'm on the other.

1323
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: Maybe things are somewhere in the middle. But I also

1324
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 1: want to explain why that matters, because none of this

1325
01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:00,120
Speaker 1: works unless people behave Basically, UM, nothing that I, who

1326
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,120
Speaker 1: as an attorney, means anything if I will not follow

1327
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: the ethic co opligations that I had. And we will

1328
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 1: probably get to this, but this is one of the

1329
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,599
Speaker 1: reasons that Michael Colon is under the spotlight. UM and

1330
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:16,160
Speaker 1: this notion of the warrant and the raid and the

1331
01:14:16,760 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: extent to which UM the s d n Y investigation

1332
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: can look into attourney client published communication like, lawyers are

1333
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 1: bound by really strong rules and if you break them,

1334
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: there are consequences. But I will say and I we

1335
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: got to take a break here or more at the

1336
01:14:31,400 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour on this report investigation of the

1337
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: certain allegations relating the former FBI Deputy director from the

1338
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 1: Office of Inspector General. Fascinating timing on all of this,

1339
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 1: and as we continue your close at the bottom of

1340
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 1: the hour, one sewn. As we continue with Jonathan Gilliman

1341
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:53,040
Speaker 1: Danielle McLaughlin. We found that in conversation with then Director

1342
01:14:53,120 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Comey shortly after the Wall Street Journal Journal article was

1343
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: published and leaked in other words, McCabe black candor when

1344
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 1: he old call me or made statements that led Comey

1345
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 1: to believe that McCabe had not authorized the disclosure and

1346
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 1: did not know who did. Now, I think this is

1347
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: only the beginning of the troubles of those people within

1348
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: the deep State that have been involved in activities that

1349
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 1: we all know, Jonathan Gillen they shouldn't have been involved in,

1350
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: and that includes Comy himself is now coming out with

1351
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 1: this big book of his and the problems with the

1352
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 1: truth that he's had in the past about leaking in

1353
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 1: other issues. Yeah, John, I think it's we at least

1354
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:32,680
Speaker 1: from my perspective and other former agents that I've talked to,

1355
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: I think we pretty much have nailed down the precise

1356
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: location that this deep state exists, at least the people

1357
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,719
Speaker 1: who are setting things in motion, and that's the Senior

1358
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Executive Service, uh that you can call the branch of

1359
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,719
Speaker 1: the government. The reality is, um it's a different branch

1360
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: of the civil service, and these people are paid at

1361
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 1: a much higher rate. They basically have little to know

1362
01:15:56,800 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 1: overwatch except from the political appointees. And even then they're

1363
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 1: able to do things because they're they're at the top

1364
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 1: of these agencies. When you talk about the Combis and

1365
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the Caves, when you talk about the Brennan's and all

1366
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: these people from the c i A or uh powers

1367
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: that was in the in the State Department. Then when

1368
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: some reasons over in the d D who was unmasking.

1369
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: When you look at all these people, they're all a

1370
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:24,560
Speaker 1: part of the senior executive service of this country's agencies,

1371
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:28,880
Speaker 1: and they have no overwatch, so they can do basically

1372
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: whatever they want. And if they have a group of conspirators,

1373
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: they can work together and there is no check, and

1374
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: they can work across agency boundaries. They can work and

1375
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: and employee agency have no idea what's going on to

1376
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,479
Speaker 1: carry out investigations, but they can do in cripple if

1377
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 1: they need to. And I think there's plenty of evidence

1378
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: showing that. And I would just say when people went

1379
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:51,559
Speaker 1: to break one thing that Daniel was saying, you know,

1380
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,240
Speaker 1: I know it's good to look at your experience and

1381
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 1: who you worked with in the d O J. I

1382
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 1: do the same thing myself with the SBON the d

1383
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: o J. But we're not talking about people that you've

1384
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: worked with here. We're talking about people that are above

1385
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 1: the honest agents, above the honest attorneys. That actually doesn't

1386
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: just beside yourself, Daniel, and it is a completely different worlds,

1387
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: completely different Daniel. You know, this is my question, my

1388
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: issue with the deep state. Where was the deep state

1389
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: and the George W. Bush administration? Where was the deep

1390
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: state and the Bill Clinton administration? Where was the deep

1391
01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 1: state in the Obama administration? I can answer that for you.

1392
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: I can answer that they were put in place during

1393
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: the Clinton administration. These are people that rose through the ranks.

1394
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: They weren't at a rank when they were in the

1395
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 1: George Bush era. They were still getting to rank, and

1396
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: by the time he was gone, they were are executive levels.

1397
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: All it takes is one or two people he put

1398
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: in in the top and pull people up. And that's

1399
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 1: what's happened through the Bush era. He never fired anybody

1400
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: in these areas. He didn't come in and clean house,

1401
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: nor to Trump. And that's the problem is that those

1402
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 1: people are still there. All right, thank you people. We

1403
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 1: gotta run anyway, This is a big deal. We have

1404
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 1: not only the insight to the Office of Inspector General,

1405
01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: Department of Justice, the allegations related to former FBI Deputy

1406
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: Director Andrew McCabe and his firing, and also the the

1407
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: new insights that we're dealing with as it relates to

1408
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: the Comy book. We'll get to your calls on the

1409
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: other side of this and a lot of news to

1410
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: deal with them one day. One Shawn is a number

1411
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,640
Speaker 1: quick break right back, will continue. A lot of newstime. Well,

1412
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,759
Speaker 1: we'll be able to break this down more is obviously

1413
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: this was breaking as we were coming on the air

1414
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,879
Speaker 1: here today. But the conclusion of the Office of Inspector

1415
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: General at the Department of Justice of these allegations related

1416
01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 1: to the former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, as they

1417
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 1: found that the then Deputy director McCabe black candor, including

1418
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 1: under oath, on multiple occasions in connection with describing his

1419
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 1: role in connection with a disclosure to the Wall Street Journal,

1420
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 1: and that this conduct violated the FBI Offenses Codes two

1421
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: point five six, and concluded that McCabe's disclosure of the

1422
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,559
Speaker 1: existence of an ongoing investigation in the manner described in

1423
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 1: this report violated the fbi S Department Media Policy and

1424
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:11,600
Speaker 1: and constituted misconduct. The o i G is issuing this

1425
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 1: report to the FBI for such action as it teems appropriate,

1426
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 1: which we already know in fact happened. But they go

1427
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: into a lot of deep analysis. UM just trying to

1428
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: sum it up here as it relates to the lack

1429
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: of candor with the then director Comey. Uh and it

1430
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,560
Speaker 1: specifically goes on that you know, as it relates to

1431
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:38,719
Speaker 1: October thirteen. Discussing the October October thirty sixteen Wall Street

1432
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 1: Journal article, Comey and McCabe give very different conflicting accounts

1433
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: of the conversation. Comey said McCabe definitely did not tell

1434
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: Comey that he authorized the disclosure. To the contrary, Comy

1435
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:52,479
Speaker 1: tells the o I G that, in fact, McCabe led

1436
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 1: him to believe, in form and fashion that McCabe did

1437
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:58,680
Speaker 1: not authorize the disclosure about information as it relates to

1438
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, and call Me described how McCabe

1439
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: gave call Me the impression that McCabe did had in

1440
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: fact not authorized the disclosure, but he did. You know,

1441
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: it's all a good start, I mean, I guess, but

1442
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: it's just taken forever, because that's only one person, one

1443
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: small piece of this, and why he was in particular fired.

1444
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: Now as it relates to the actual email investigation and

1445
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 1: what ended up being an exoneration before even an investigation,

1446
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: that's a whole different part that they'll be releasing at

1447
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: some point in the future when we don't know, but

1448
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: hopefully sooner rather than later. All right, let's get to

1449
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: our busy phones as we say Hi to Derek Is

1450
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,679
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Derek, Hi, how are you glad you called

1451
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: degrees pretty chilly today? Sean, uh, seventy five degrees pretty chilly?

1452
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: You know, don't take it the wrong way. I No,

1453
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: one's gonna sound very offensive to that's so obnoxious to

1454
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: say that to people. But we're gonna have seventy degrees

1455
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 1: here to marrow, so I don't even want to hear

1456
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: it anymore. We're back to normal, I think, I hope,

1457
01:20:56,360 --> 01:21:00,759
Speaker 1: I pray they You know, a lot of this, A

1458
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: big chunk of this can be attributed to Session, and

1459
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 1: it's it's blatantly obvious that this that they have some

1460
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 1: dirt on this guy, that he is willing to actually

1461
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: grow a spine and do something what kind of dirt

1462
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: could they possibly have on this guy, because it's got

1463
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 1: to be pretty massive. I just I think it's ridiculous,

1464
01:21:18,560 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: and I think all of Congress. I think there's a

1465
01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: great idea of NASCAR drivers. They have their sponsors on

1466
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 1: their car and all over their vests every time they're

1467
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: out to drive Sunday. We should have each Congress member

1468
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: where a vest of who their sponsors are and who

1469
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:34,439
Speaker 1: we're actually fighting against. You know, I know it almost

1470
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: makes you think that we really do need just you know,

1471
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: public financing. A campaign's limited amount of money. Here you go,

1472
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: and that's that you put in anything you want to

1473
01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 1: pay on your own. Short of that, you're not beholden

1474
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,839
Speaker 1: to anybody, because you're right, it's obnoxious. It's it's ridiculous.

1475
01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: And I just think as this all of this stuff,

1476
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:53,599
Speaker 1: Trump coming, and I'm really happy that Trump's in office

1477
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: to expose the corruption that's going on, and the freaking

1478
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: out is just that solidifies all of the crush and

1479
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: that's going on, and they don't want it to change,

1480
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,719
Speaker 1: and they're crying and fighting tooth and nail to stop

1481
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: it from happening. And I'm thankful that we can at

1482
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: least see what's going on. I appreciate the call, Derek.

1483
01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:10,680
Speaker 1: It's going to be a hell of a ride here

1484
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks. I'll tell you that Melissa

1485
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: is in Arizona. Hi, Melissa, how are you going to

1486
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 1: brag about the temperatures too? Oh? Yes, definitely. Okay, when

1487
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 1: it's when it's a hundred and twenty degrees and you

1488
01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: can't even you know, get one breath of air in July,

1489
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 1: then you can call in. Okay. Well, I'm the native here,

1490
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: so I'm used to it. Oh, I don't know. I've

1491
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 1: been out there in a hundred and twenty degrees. You

1492
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: can fry an egg on the sidewalk. It's ridiculous. Yeah,

1493
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: but you know the funny thing is they still keep

1494
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 1: moving here. Everybody comes on. So what's on your mind today, Melissa? Well,

1495
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,200
Speaker 1: my question is, and I've been wondering about this. I

1496
01:22:48,240 --> 01:22:50,280
Speaker 1: don't know if you brought it up, but was comby

1497
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: Rosenstein or Rosenstein or any other bad actors collaborating before

1498
01:22:57,160 --> 01:22:59,639
Speaker 1: all this took place, Because it doesn't make sense why

1499
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: n would send the president a medmo advising him to

1500
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:11,759
Speaker 1: fire Coony. You know, it's really funny because NBC News

1501
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: reported last night they go through and and it's it's

1502
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: really shallow in inaccurate reporting on their part, but that

1503
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 1: that doesn't stop them from doing and saying stupid things.

1504
01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:26,479
Speaker 1: They were saying about Uh well, they actually reported that Mueller,

1505
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, had found four findings on Donald Trump of obstruction.

1506
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 1: Number one was the intent to fire Mueller. And I'm like, well,

1507
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 1: what are we gonna We're gonna charge people for the

1508
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,559
Speaker 1: for what they think at at any given moment, not

1509
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:45,799
Speaker 1: what they do. It's it's absurd on the on the surface,

1510
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: but that's what NBC reported, you know. Another was the

1511
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,680
Speaker 1: Roland crafting a public statement all right, I don't, I

1512
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: don't know as it related to Don Jr. In the

1513
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:58,440
Speaker 1: Trump Tower meeting. The third was talk of pardoning witnesses

1514
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: who might test to fight against him. Okay, talk is talk.

1515
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: Doing is another thing. And on top of that, the

1516
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 1: power of the pardon is absolute. Or for pressuring the

1517
01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: Attorney general to recuse himself, Okay, not to recuse himself,

1518
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 1: well it was too late. The Attorney general did that

1519
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 1: on his own. Well, I I think they were cooperating

1520
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:25,800
Speaker 1: before all of this, Just to start the avalanche, cool.

1521
01:24:25,840 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: He took one for the team, said you're going to

1522
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: be filed. This is what's going to happen. Boom boom,

1523
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 1: boom boom, and there it went. Mm hmm. Well, we're

1524
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: gonna see at some point there's gonna it's gonna be

1525
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: a tipping point here. I think that the whole purpose

1526
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: has been and continues to be. They want to go

1527
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,719
Speaker 1: the president. They want to get him into a position

1528
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,439
Speaker 1: where he's just gonna say enough is enough. This isn't fair.

1529
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 1: It's never been fair. There's never been any collusion. The

1530
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: mandate has had literally been shattered, and you know what,

1531
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 1: this just isn't even good for the country. And use

1532
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,959
Speaker 1: the power as the president that he has, Article too, etcetera.

1533
01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 1: That's what you know, who knows if we're going there?

1534
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Correct and honestly, as a voter, and I can speak

1535
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:09,559
Speaker 1: for a lot of the other voters that support President Trump,

1536
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,680
Speaker 1: we don't care what he has done or what he

1537
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 1: does in his personal life. We don't care. Most Americans

1538
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 1: are too busy to care what anybody does in their

1539
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 1: personal life. To be really blunt about it. Um and

1540
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,120
Speaker 1: as long as he didn't hang it around with terrorists

1541
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:29,639
Speaker 1: like Obama did Obama with friends with terrorists melt Bill

1542
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: Airis and Bernardine dor And yeah, he started his career

1543
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,000
Speaker 1: in their house. And then he described them as some

1544
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 1: people in the neighborhood. George, Um, alright, anyway, Melissa, you

1545
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 1: have a great weekend. We appreciate you being with us.

1546
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: Scott and Evans, Colorado. Hey, Scott, how are you glad

1547
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:48,960
Speaker 1: you called well degrees in the oil patcher in North Colorado?

1548
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 1: Are you working in the oil patches today? Yes, sir,

1549
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 1: good for you. I hope you're making a lot of money.

1550
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: Everybody I know that works in the oil business, whatever

1551
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:59,800
Speaker 1: job they do, they do pretty well. We work, we're well,

1552
01:25:59,800 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 1: we're worded. And I DVR all of your shows, your

1553
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: TV shows, and I listened to you when I can

1554
01:26:04,479 --> 01:26:08,719
Speaker 1: here in the patch on the radio, and that that

1555
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 1: comy Crime Family, actually I called the d C Crime Family.

1556
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: That was the best show you have ever done. I

1557
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 1: I watched your shows for years. Well, I appreciate it.

1558
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:21,280
Speaker 1: So I started with this idea earlier in the morning,

1559
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,440
Speaker 1: and I'm kind of flipping it around with my producers

1560
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 1: and I'm just messing with the idea and I'm like,

1561
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:28,639
Speaker 1: wait a minute if he's because all day that day

1562
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:31,880
Speaker 1: it was up on Drudge, Oh, Comey compares Trump to

1563
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,519
Speaker 1: mob boss, And I'm thinking, really, we're going to compare

1564
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: him to murderers and drug dealers and the worst dregs.

1565
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: I never wanted this for my son Don Jr. Uh,

1566
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,880
Speaker 1: but you know, so it came about and I said, okay,

1567
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: we'll use the Comey standards. Did you hear the liberal

1568
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 1: freak out over it? You know? Uh? It was beautiful

1569
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: and not just that the whole show, your guests, But

1570
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 1: I love how you get tied it together like a

1571
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: police officer would it with all those pointing here and there. Man,

1572
01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: what a show. I'm gonna keep that DPR forever. Well,

1573
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be having a lot more of

1574
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 1: those kinds of shows. Maybe I'll just keep the example

1575
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: up on the screen a little longer so that the

1576
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:14,599
Speaker 1: rest of the media can bubble and fizz like alka

1577
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Seltzer and water. By the way, I knew they would

1578
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: take the bait. I knew they'd see it and they

1579
01:27:19,800 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't even think that, Oh, maybe he's doing this for

1580
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: a reason, because and now we know he took it

1581
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: a step further by comparing the President to Sammy the

1582
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:35,559
Speaker 1: Bull Gravano who killed nineteen people. All right, we've got

Speaker 1: all the breaking news tonight. The Inspector General report is out.

1584

Speaker 1: Camy now caught in a number of lies, and what

1585
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: is the secret information he has on Loretta Lynch? Also,

1586
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,760
Speaker 1: Comey still doesn't know if the dossier is true, but
