1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Finally, the Special Council investigated a number of links or

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: contacts between the Trump campaign, officials and individuals connected with

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: the Russian government during the two sixteen presidential campaign. After

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: reviewing these contacts, the Special Council did not find any

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: conspiracy to violate US law involving Russian linked persons and

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: any persons associated with the Trump campaign. So that's the

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: bottom line. After nearly two years of investigation, thousands of subpoenas,

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: hundreds of warrants, and witness interviews, the Special Council confirmed

9
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: that the Russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with

10
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: the two sixteen presidential election, but did not find that

11
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those efforts.

12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: All right, That was the Attorney General in his press

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: conference with Rob Rosenstein there as well earlier today and

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: from the Muller report, the investigation did not establish members

15
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian

16
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: government and its election interference activities. I earlier read the

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: statement from the President's attorneys, Jay Sekulo and Rudy Giuliani.

18
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: One of them joins me right now, Jay Secular, also

19
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the Chief Council for the American Center for Law Injustice.

20
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: You know, I read the whole thing. I mean I

21
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: suffered through it because it was monotonous, And well, why

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: don't I just let you explain your take on it

23
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: at this point, because you couldn't cooperate any more than

24
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: you did. Even Mueller acknowledged that they had pretty much

25
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: all the answers they needed. What's up to me? This

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: is now dead except for Congress needing to cling onto

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: something because they hate Trump so psychotically. Well, you've heard

28
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: Thomas mc nadler's press conference. I mean it was deflated.

29
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: They are deflated. The fact of the matter is, the

30
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: basis upon which this inquiry began was allegations of collusion

31
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: or conspiracy between the Russian government and Russian agents and

32
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: members of the Trump campaign and the Trump campaign and

33
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: everybody found there were no such activities none. That was

34
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: the conclusion, no collusion. Then with obstruction, they go through

35
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: two hundred pages of recitations of law in fact to

36
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: conclude that they can't make a determination that the president

37
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: in fact violated the law. That's what it says, and everyone,

38
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: I'm interesting to watch someone to spin on some of

39
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: these networks. That's what it says, and therefore they make

40
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: no conclusion except to say that we're not saying the

41
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: president violated the law. But if you didn't violate the law,

42
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: then guess what. This is a declination letter. If they

43
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: had an obstruction case they would have put forward. They

44
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: did not. They Look, we all know if Muller had it,

45
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: he would have run with it. And you're right, it

46
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: is a declination letter. U. Now they come up though,

47
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: with their ten possibilities. And you know, I actually predicted

48
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: this last night on TV that they'd say, well, the president, uh,

49
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: he hoped that that General Flynn wasn't in trouble, he

50
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: wouldn't get in trouble. Well, General Flynn still got in trouble.

51
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: Well he wanted a fire Muller and and he told

52
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: Don McGain, I'm like, what I relevance is that he

53
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: has the power to fire anybody wanted two In this

54
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: case he didn't, but he didn't. Of course he had

55
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: the concerto. He did not. So when you go through

56
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: each of these, it ends up with the same conclusion

57
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: and that is no legal violation. You know, at the

58
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: end of the day, when you think of all the time, money, effort,

59
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: put into this thing. And when we now have four

60
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: instances the FBI investigation, we learned with the recently released

61
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: closed door testimony struck in page they revealed something I've

62
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: found fascinating, which was that the FBI had no power

63
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: to make any decisions as it related to Hillary Clinton's

64
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: investigation because those decisions were being made by the Attorney General,

65
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch, the same person that was telling James Comey,

66
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: it's a matter, it's not an investigation and met with

67
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton on the tarmac and Phoenix. So we have

68
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: we have fifty three more of those to come. But

69
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I look at that and I'm like, wow, that was

70
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: never fully investigated. As a matter of fact, it looks

71
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: like that investigation was rigged. I mean, I'm want to

72
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: go through with you a couple of the key because

73
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: people are no one. A few people can read four

74
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: hundred paces. Okay, I did, so let me go. I'm

75
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: gonna do this with you tonight. But I think this

76
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: is important to the people understand. Page two. The investigation

77
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: did not establish the members of the Trump campaign coordinated

78
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: with the Russian government in its election interference activities. Page

79
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: one eighty seven, same kind of thing. Page one eighty one.

80
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: The investigation did not establish that the contact has god

81
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: an Volume one, which is all of the clusion issues

82
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: amounted to an admit it to commit the eolation of

83
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: any federal law. Okay, that's that's I'm only in page now,

84
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to the next one. It was

85
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: also page one and two in the summary. The investigation

86
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired

87
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: to coordinated for the Russian government in its election interference activities.

88
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: It page nine. The evidence was not sufficient to support

89
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: criminal charges and guarding a Trump tier meeting. Here we

90
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: go again on page nine, and our evidence about the

91
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: June ninth meeting and the Wiki releases of hack materials

92
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: was not sufficient to charge a criminal campaign finance violation.

93
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: I could go on and on. The office is not

94
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: uncovered evidence that Paul Mataford brought the Ukrainian peace Plan

95
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: to the offension of the president. Will the administration, I mean,

96
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: on and on it does you know? Let me then

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: focus on where the meeting is on here because it's

98
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: so declarative, and then it says, well, it was very

99
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: interesting because both Rod Rosenstein, the Office of Legal Counsel,

100
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: joining the Attorney General on the issue of obstruction that

101
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: Muller left to them and had he had the evidence.

102
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: You know, in most cases JAF, they investigate somebody they

103
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: don't have the evidence to indict and bring that case forward.

104
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: You don't hear about all the background noise that they

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: looked into. But that's not the case here. And every

106
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: single thing that I read was, Okay, we know this already.

107
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: We know the president invented. We know the President was angry.

108
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: We publicly called it a witch hunt. He publicly hoped

109
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: that that Lieutenant General Flynn wouldn't get in trouble. He

110
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: openly said that probably Muller should be fired, and Rosenstein

111
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: and Jeff Sessions, he was not shy about expressing that.

112
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: For example, we do know that Rod Rosenstein and others

113
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: talked about they talked about wearing a wire secretly against

114
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: the president. We know they talked about invoking the twenty

115
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: fifth Amendment, but they didn't do those things. So those

116
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: are words versus actions. Now as it relates to law,

117
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: that's a there's a great distinction there. Yeah, let me

118
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: give you another bit of reality news. House Majorities Leader

119
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: Stenny Hoyer, based on what we've seen today. That's talking

120
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: about after the enforcement out going forward on impeachment is

121
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: not a worthwhile. It's not worth while at this point.

122
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Dirry Frank, Leader's an election in eighteen months, and the

123
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: American people will make a judgment. Well, I mean that

124
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: the victory right there, Ye sums up the victory pretty

125
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: much in full. You know, I do worry about a

126
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: double standard here because there are really serious issues that

127
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: if we don't get to the bottom of. I'm worried

128
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: about our constitution, equal justice under the law, equal opplication

129
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: of our laws. And we do have a lot of evidence.

130
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: We know that Hillary Clinton violated the Espionage Act. We

131
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: know even James Comey acknowledged he had top secret classified

132
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: information on that private server in a mom and pop

133
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: shop bathroom closet called Platte Rivers Network. And we do

134
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: know that when she was subpoena in thirty three thousand

135
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: emails were deleted, the hard drive was bleach bit erased,

136
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: and devices were broken up with hammers and sim cards

137
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: were removed. Now I watched what's more important than all

138
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: of that? In my mind? Okay, how did this investigation start?

139
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: Tell me what started this investigation? When did it starts?

140
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. More important than all the Hillary Clinton

141
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: stuff is this issue. Americans were surveiled through FICCE warrants,

142
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: which resulted in an operation called Operation Cross Fired Hurricane,

143
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: which became an inspiring, as the Attorney General said on

144
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: a political campaign, a big deal that morps into an obstruction,

145
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: into a collision in query or conspiracy inquiry that morphed

146
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: into an obstruction. Equerry, you got to find out how

147
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: this started, because that's the outrage to the Constitution. John

148
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Solomon hinted last night that this investigation did not start

149
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: on the purported date of July thirty first, twenty sixteen,

150
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: as we believed up to this point. He thinks it

151
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: started months and months earlier. Is there any evidence to

152
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: that as of now, I don't know about evidence. I

153
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: know that when this started it was laborcross Hurricane they

154
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: created there. In my mind, that's a line out of

155
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: Jumping Jack Twice. By the way, Well theyred there. I

156
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: think they're born them across Rider. I think you. I

157
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: think they've started their own crossfire Hurricane here, and I

158
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: think this Attorney General will get to the bottom line.

159
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: What about the issue, though there's other issues involved here.

160
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: If we really cared about collusion. Number one, we have

161
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: evidence that Ukraine. Ukrainian officials are admitting publicly that they

162
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: tried to interfere in our elections and are willing to

163
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: provide evidence. Nobody seems interested. We also have this whole

164
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: issue of this this bought and paid for phony dossier.

165
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: According to testimony of Bruce Or, everybody was warned that

166
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: it was tainted that Christopher Stile hated President Trump. Christopher

167
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: Stile does not stand behind his own dossier anymore. In

168
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: an interrogatory in Great Britain, we know that Hillary paid

169
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: for it. None of that was told the Fizer court.

170
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: So wouldn't that mean in these FIS applications that they

171
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: committed fraud on a court. That's why the investigation of

172
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: what transpired here is absolutely critical and we have to

173
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of it. I believe this Attorney

174
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: General will. Do you believe as I believe, that the

175
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: phony Russian dossier was used as the insurance policy to

176
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: destroy a duly elected president, to attempt to destroy him.

177
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I think that was the attempt. It did not. I

178
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: think there was there was insurance policies in place on

179
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: multiple fronts that we're not cast in, so to speak.

180
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: But John, I think it raises a very serious legal

181
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: issue as to what really is at stake here and

182
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: what's really at stake here, is something horrible happen. No

183
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: other president should have to go through this ever again. Period.

184
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: This would be you know, having followed these this case

185
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: which ninety nine point nine percent of the media went

186
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: in one direction and they lied every night for two

187
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: two and a half years, collusion, collusion, Russia, Russia, Russia. Well,

188
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: now we've had the fourth confirmation that there never was

189
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: any Trump Russia collusion. We had the nine month FBI report,

190
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: the House Intel report, the Bipartisan Senate report. Nothing. Everyone

191
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: is a tonorated to president. But on the other hand,

192
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: we do see a rigged, rigged investigation for Hillary with

193
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: real evidence. We do see that a phony, unverified Russian

194
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: dossier bought by Clinton using a foreign national with funneled money,

195
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: was used to deny an American citizen his constitutional rights,

196
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: and it also allowed the opposition party to spy on

197
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign during the election. On top of Stefan

198
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: Holper looking into Papadopoulos and Page in Clovis. Look, this

199
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: matter has to be investigated significantly seriously and with an

200
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: eye towards what the Constitution requires in mandates. I think

201
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: Bill barb with our question, is going to do that.

202
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: He has said it. He keaps spying on a campaign seriously,

203
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,719
Speaker 1: he said it is a big deal. I think you've

204
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: seen the leadership from him time and time again over

205
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: the last seven months, and I think they'll continue to

206
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: see that. Here's what we have outstanding, fifty three closed

207
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: door testimonies we haven't seen. We also have the Attorney

208
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: General mentioning that there was spying and that a full

209
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: investigation into this whole issue will take place. Then we

210
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: have the Inspector General Horowitz report on abuse. We expect

211
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: that report in May. Then we have John Uber he's

212
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: looking into leaking. We'll get that report. Then we also

213
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: the President. In the last interview I had with him,

214
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: he will make available to the public the Phis applications.

215
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: He'll also the three zero two is the Gang of eight.

216
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: All this information will be public. I know a lot

217
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: based on my sources what we will find out. And

218
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: there is a real abuse of power here. Knowing the

219
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: media and they seem to now be pushing towards either

220
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: getting his taxes or hanging on to this to the

221
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: very last moment and beginning impeachment proceedings, which I think

222
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: are but they might not. So I want to I

223
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: want to say something on that, Sean, I mean, steady

224
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: Hoyer's statement is not an accident. This is a Democratic

225
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: majority leader, okay, and based on what we've seen today,

226
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: going for an impeachment is not with while at this time,

227
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: very thankly there's an election in eighteen months of the

228
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: American people and make a judgment that's about as good

229
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: as it's going to get from them. I think this

230
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: issue is dead and done. Yeah, in terms of the

231
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: presidents are trying to hang in there, but they know

232
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: it and it's it's going very quickly. Noah, Well, I

233
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: will say this, I know how hard you worked. I

234
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: actually think this case was won by not allowing after

235
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: all that you turned over and allowing everybody to testify

236
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: and no executive privilege ever and vote that you know,

237
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: I think that allowing the president to speak to this

238
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: special counsel with the record of setting up perjury traps

239
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: would have been a mistake. Well, I want to let

240
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: you do that. I wouldn't let anybody else, I mean,

241
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: no lawyer worth assault would have allowed that. All right,

242
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: Jay Sekulo, Attorney for the President. Thanks for me one.

243

00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,760

00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: We can talk about the Democrats and I know this

257
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: is they're They're trying to reinvigorate the impeachment push of theirs.

258
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, it's all gonna die.

259
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: Lannie Davis is out there offering Michael Cone of filling

260
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: the redactions and the Muller report didn't just make a

261
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: criminal referral, but the day that Lannie sat behind him

262
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: when he was after he'd already been sentenced, didn't. Now

263
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: he has another criminal What is this guy doing? How

264
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: many times is he gonna, you know, put this guy's

265
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: life on the line, Maxie Waters. Now the big thing

266
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: is to attack the Attorney general's integrity. Oh, they loved

267
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: him before. And Democrats they want to hear from Mueller.

268
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: They want Muller to discredit bar and the attorney What

269
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: you can't get around what this report says. You can't

270
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: get around four now, four independent investigations coming to the

271
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: same conclusion. And by the way, the Obama administration spying

272
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: scandal just got a lot worse because the Mueller report

273
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: concludes that Carter Page was innocent, So that means they're

274
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: in more trouble. And by the way, the prosecution of

275
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Julian Assange, it's interesting how they actually recognizing this report

276
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: that Assange he basically say he is a journalist, that

277
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: he's protected as long as he's not involved in whatever

278
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: he's reporting, if he's not involved in quote stealing it, Well,

279
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: that's right out of the Pentagon papers. You'll continue, all right,

280
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: twenty five to the top of the hour. Twenty two months. Well,

281
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: this is now the fourth fourth separate investigations clearing Trump

282
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: of Trump Russia Russia campaign collusion, even the Special Council,

283
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: the FBI, the House Intelligence Committee, the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee,

284
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: all powerful special counsel. Now the latest filled with investigators

285
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: who were big time Democratic donors, including the former lawyer

286
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: for Hillary Andrew Weissman, the pit bull who was at

287
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: Hillary's victory party. Twenty two months, twenty eight hundred subpoenas,

288
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: five hundred search warrants, how many pre dawn raids with

289
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: guns and people's faces, two and thirty court orders, and

290
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: interviews with approximately five hundred people. Quote from the Muller report.

291
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: The investigation did not establish the members of the Trump

292
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government and its

293
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: election interference activities. No one inside the Trump campaign conspired

294
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: or coordinated with the Russian government. The very lie that

295
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: has been pedaled now for well over two years, two

296
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: and a half years, hysteria, breathless coverage, tinfoil had conspiracy

297
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: theories by the Democratic Party and the rage hate Trump

298
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: media mob working in unison, slander, besmirchment, NonStop attacks. Well,

299
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: now we'll impeach him over this, that's what we're gonna

300
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: do with We'll go right back to But but it

301
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: was bar Bar's fault, Barr and Rosenstein, they just they

302
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: just cleared him of the obstruction issues. Okay, Well, if

303
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: that's your if we're gonna have equal justice to the law.

304
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: This is what the media doesn't understand. They've been wrong

305
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: the whole time. We've been right. We've assembled the team,

306
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: we're going to introduce two of them in a second,

307
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: and we've been able to determine that the investigation into

308
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: Hillary's email server was rigged. It was fixed. Even struck

309
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: in Page recognized it was rigged, and it was run

310
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: right out of the office. They say of the Attorney

311
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: General Lauretta Lynch, what did she know? When did she

312
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: know it? The one who wouldn't even call Hillary's investigation

313
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: an investigation, she called it a matter. And then, of course,

314
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: meeting with Bill Clinton just days before the decision is

315
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: made on the tarmac in Phoenix, hoping, I guess, talking

316
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: about grandchildren for nearly an hour, and then the same

317
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: person struck in Page says she was making all the decisions,

318
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: and we already know she's not going to be indicted,

319
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: and we know that she had top secret classified marked

320
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: as such information on that secret server. That's a violation

321
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: of the Espionage Act eighteen Usc. Seven ninety three. So

322
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: there's an underlying crime. And then the issue of intent.

323
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: All the intent was to get rid of the evidence.

324
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: That's why you delete thirty three thousand emails, acid washer

325
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: hard drive would bleach bit and then of course bust

326
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: up your devices in case any of the emails are

327
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: on there, an aid due with hammers, remove the sim cards,

328
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: So that's a big part of it. Then of course

329
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: we've got Hillary Hillary Rodham. Clinton's bought and paid for

330
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: Russian dossier full of lies leaked to the American people

331
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: through their media allies Corn and Iszikov and the Washington Post.

332
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Why so it would impact the votes with Russian lies.

333
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: And then of course it's used to bludgeon an American

334
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: citizen as Feiser fraud is committed, and they present this

335
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: phony dossier that everyone was told was never verified, corroborated,

336
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: put together by somebody who himself doesn't stand by the dossier,

337
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele, using funneled money through a law firm to

338
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: an op research firm out to a foreign national. It

339
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: together and then it's used as a basis of a

340
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: phisal warrant denying an American citizen as constitutional rights, but

341
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: more importantly as a backdoor into all things the Trump campaign.

342
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: And we had other spying as the recruitment of Stefan

343
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: Helper who goes after Papadopolis Page and Sam Clovis, Yeah,

344
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: we had spies in the Trump campaign. And then you

345
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: add to that that whole mess that they have, or

346
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: then they have their insurance policy, the very same people

347
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: involved in rigging the Hillary investigation up. The insurance policy

348
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: was to bludge in Trump with a hoax, a conspiracy

349
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: with the willing accomplices in the media. We're gurgitating every lie,

350
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: every minute of every day. And now we have fifty

351
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: three previously the secret undisclosed, closed door testimonies we will

352
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: get a hold of. We have Newness and his criminal referrals.

353
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: We have the Inspector General his investigation into abuse. That's

354
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: a slam dun case. Then we have John Hooper and

355
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: his report on leaking coming. We have the Attorney General

356
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: pledging that he himself will get to the bottom of

357
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: all of this misconduct and spying that went on in

358
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. And of course we have the gold standard,

359
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: the President telling me he will release the FISA applications.

360
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: The three zero two is the Gang of Eight information,

361
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: basically an illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and framed

362
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump the Russia hoax. Greg Jarrett is with us.

363
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: That's the name of his number one best selling book.

364
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: He's been proven right all along, as well as David

365
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: Shown Criminal Defense, Civil Liberties Attorney. I've read I actually

366
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: read the whole thing today, and you know, I'm reading

367
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: this stuff on the obstruction part, and I'm thinking, boy,

368
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: if you have to stretch this far that Donald Trump

369
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 1: got mad and wanted it at times to fire Rosenstein,

370
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: Sessions and Muller but didn't do it, how do you

371
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: you know? It's just like they wanted to tape the

372
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: president secretly. They didn't do it, but they said it.

373
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: They wanted to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment, they said it,

374
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: they didn't do it. So they want to say obstructed

375
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 1: on something that he thought about or discussed doing but

376
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: didn't do. Can that ever rise to the level of obstruction?

377
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: Greg Jariff, No, absolutely. I mean, we are not the

378
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: thought police, we are not the discussion police. We our

379
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: democracy and the criminal Coats says you have to engage

380
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: in overt acts, and obstruction of justice is a very

381
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 1: specific statute. It says you must prove a corrupt purpose.

382
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: What is that It identifies the five things that constitute

383
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: a corrupt purpose a lie, threat, bribe, concealing evidence, or

384
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: destroying documents. Now that report found that Trump committed none

385
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: of those things, which is why there was insufficient evidence

386
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: to prove obstruction. And on collusion, yes, I've read the

387
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: entire report myself. All Mueller had to do is read

388
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: my book, and in fact, the section on collusion looks

389
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: like it comes right out of my book. I've never

390
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: read such an exculpatory document. So four square, the president

391
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. But that will not sean stop democrats

392
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: and the media from howling impeachment at the top of

393
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: their lungs. And I warn them if they proceed with that,

394
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: they do so at their own political risk. It will backfire. Well,

395
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: it's a dead issue with the American people that I

396
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,239
Speaker 1: can tell you. I mean, if Muller had it, he

397
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: would have brought it. And you know, it was a

398
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: declarative statement. You know, either you have the evidence, you're

399
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: either going to indict or you don't. And if you don't,

400
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: usually you don't hear about the evidence because it wasn't

401
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: rising to the occasion. In this case, David, it's very different,

402
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: I guess because it's the president, right, Yeah, that's right. Listen,

403
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: you've been right one hundred percent of the time with

404
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: this thing. Right earlier in the week in predicting what

405
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: the report would say, and Gregg's write about this impeachment

406
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: backfind But one thing for sure, anybody reads this report

407
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: and thinks impeachment, they're out of their mind, and they

408
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: had certainly don't have the country's interests in mind. The

409
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: piece reads in many ways like a gossip piece or

410
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: certainly a political piece. Never before do you see a

411
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: decision not to prosecute Couched in these terms. Well, well,

412
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: we would say if we had evidence for sure that

413
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: he didn't commit a crime, and we're not saying that

414
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: that's absolutely nonsense. But you knew when he picked it

415
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: two and Mueller picked the team that he did, that

416
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: they were political animals, rabid anti trumpers, and that they

417
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: would put disparagery marks in there to justify themselves and

418
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: for the press and Congress to pick up on. But listen,

419
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: it's all a forest now. They want to blame Bar. Well,

420
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: how about Rosenstein. That was their man. He's the one

421
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,479
Speaker 1: who wouldn't you wanted to use the twenty fifth Amendment

422
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: to get rid of the president. They loved him, then

423
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: they didn't want him fired. Steena said, no evidence of

424
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice, So don't put it on bar You've

425
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: got the report. Now this should be put to bed.

426
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: Let's get on with policy. Well, I mean, we're going

427
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: to get on with policy, but I think we have

428
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: other issues that have to be dealt with with all

429
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: due respect, David, because they did rig the investigation into Hillary,

430
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: she did commit a real crime. We now have overwhelming,

431
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: incontrovertible evidence that top secret classified marked as such, we're

432
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: on that private email server, so that would be an

433
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: underlying crime eighteen USC. Seven ninety three. Then we also

434
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: have evidence when she deleted the subpoena emails and acid

435
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 1: washed the hard drive with bleach, bidden broke up the

436
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,239
Speaker 1: devices and remove the SIM cards. Well, that would be

437
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: evidence of intent. What is the intent to eliminate the

438
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: evidence of the crime of violating the Espionage Act, and

439
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: then those people that rigged that investigation should also be

440
00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: held accountable. Those that allowed an Americans to lose their

441
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: constitutional rights and to spy on the Trump campaign based

442
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: on a phony, unverified, bought and paid for dossier, Well,

443
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: they lied to the FISA court and committed a fraud.

444
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 1: Greg Jared, I think that has to be settled. And

445
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: then yeah, go ahead. I agree. The Russia hoax has

446
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: been exposed for what it is. The witch hunt is

447
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: now officially ended, and now the real investigation, Sean, as

448
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: you stay, should begin in earnest. It's been going on

449
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: with Michael Horowitz, the Inspector General. But now that Attorney

450
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: Barr has this behind him, I think he will look

451
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: quite seriously at the acts of corruption and illegality that

452
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: we're perpetrated by people at the FBI like James Coming,

453
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: Andrew McKay, Peter Struck, Lisa Page, and also look at

454
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: the lies peddled by John Brennan, the former CIA director

455
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: and James Clapper, the former DNI, and they were also

456
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: in on this hoax. Brennan began working on the Russia

457
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: collusion hoax beginning at the end of two thousand and fifteen,

458
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: throughout two thousand and six. This is funny you're saying this,

459
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: because now everybody is saying and even Juliani said, and

460
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: others have been saying, this started way before the official

461
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: start date of July thirty first. John Solomon said it

462
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: last night on TV with US Greg And so what

463
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: does that mean? When did it start? It started the

464
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: end of two thousand and fifteen when Brennan began soliciting

465
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: principally from the British, but other American allies information surveillance, information,

466
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: electronic information, you mean, stuff that they couldn't legally get

467
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: in his position, a CIA directly A cannot monitor on

468
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: spy on Americans. So he varied. So they farmed it out.

469
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: They subcontracted out what it is illegal to our friends

470
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: in Great Britain and Australia and maybe Italy, right, and

471
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: they reversed source the information spying on Americans through foreign sources.

472
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: All of this will be coming out in the months ahead. Well,

473
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: once that happens. I got to believe that's part of

474
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: the reason these countries are begging the President not to

475
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: release the PHISUS, the three O two's, the Gang of

476
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: Aid Information and others, right, because you're convinced that it'll

477
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: expose our allies as doing the work for our intelligence

478
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: community that is illegal for them to do themselves. I

479
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: absolutely believe that. Is that a crime to outsource something

480
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: like that if your true purpose was to spy on Americans? Absolutely,

481
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: it's a crime. What about the three hundred and fifty

482
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: percent increase and unmaskings that took place in twenty sixteen,

483
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: an election year also a crime? You know, it's a

484
00:28:54,600 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: crime to unmask the name of someone without a legitimate purpose,

485
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: and then it's an additional felony to leak it to

486
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: the media. And that's part of the criminal referral by

487
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Radcliffe and Newness and Meadows and others, and I you

488
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: know that's going to be explosive when that comes out,

489
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: and think about to think about the perversion of the

490
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: FISA court process. They should be livid and the American

491
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: people should have gotten real eye opening on how secretive

492
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: that process is and how dangerous it is. The only

493
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: thing I would modify about what Gregg said is I

494
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: believe one witch hunt has ended. I don't think the

495
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: witch hunt has ended. This. Jerry Nadler is absolutely out

496
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: of his mind. Number, he has hired two investigators now

497
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: who have written treatises on how badly they hate President

498
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: Trump and why he should be impeached in committed obstruction

499
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: of justice without any evidence and without the law on

500
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: their side. So I'm afraid, you know, the press is

501
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: picking up on everything, as we knew they would. So

502
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: today they're going to be talking about the president said

503
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: this is going to ruin my presidency having Muller appointed.

504
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: And then if you read the report, what he went

505
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: on to say was every time they tie a president

506
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: up with this kind of thing, policy gets lost, it

507
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: ruins the presidency. Look at what this president is accomplished,

508
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: especially in the area of foreign affairs, notwithstanding having both

509
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: arms tied behind his back, being under the gun in

510
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: the media every single day. Now he's exonerated in this report,

511
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: and you can have another witch on starting with Jerry

512
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: Nadler and the rest of his crew at Congress. It's horrible.

513
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Well I think it's horrible, but I also think once

514
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: we get to the real investigation, everything's going to boomerang

515
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: back and they've got themselves a lot of problems here. Well,

516
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: you're on the winning streak. Let's keep keep it up.

517
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,479
Speaker 1: I will take a quick break, we'll come back and

518
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: we'll have more of our coverage. We're going to replay

519
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Bob Barr William Barr rather than Bob at the top

520
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 1: of the hour if you missed him this morning at

521
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: nine thirty, and then at more of our coverage continue

522
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: because what he said and the way he described it

523
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: was very powerful, which is why so many liberals right

524
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: now are clamoring that he get fired. Glad you want

525
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: us news round up information overload hour. Look, a lot

526
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: of you working a lot, are you busy? Nine thirty

527
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: the Attorney General with Rod Rosenstein with him, and of

528
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: course with consultation of the Special Council and the Office

529
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: of Independent Council. Yeah, they made the decision because there's

530
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: no evidence that rises to any level of obstruction. Many

531
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: of you missed it. I want you to hear it

532
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: in full. And this is the Attorney General bar from

533
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: earlier today. The Special Council's report states that his quote

534
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign

535
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election

536
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: interference activities. I am sure that all Americans share my

537
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: concern about the efforts of the Russian government to interfere

538
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: in our presidential election. As the Special Council report makes clear,

539
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: the Russian government sought to interfere in our election process.

540
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: But thanks to the Special Council's thorough investigation, we now

541
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: know that the Russian operatives who perpetrated these schemes did

542
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: not have the cooperation of President Trump or the Trump Campaign,

543
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: or the knowing assistance of any other American for that matter.

544
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: That is something that all Americans can and should be

545
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: grateful to have confirmed. First, the report details efforts by

546
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: the Internet Research Agency, a Russian company with close ties

547
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: to the Russian government, to sew social discord among American

548
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: voters through disinformation and social media operations. Following a thorough

549
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: investigation of this disinformation campaign, the Special Council brought charges

550
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: in federal court against several Russian nationals and entities for

551
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: their respective roles in this scheme. Those charges remain pending

552
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: and the individual defendants remain at large, But the Special

553
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: Council found no evidence that any American, including anyone associated

554
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: with the Trump campaign, conspired or coordinated with the Russian

555
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: government or the IRRA. In another way, the Special Council

556
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: found no collusion by any Americans in IRA's illegal activities. Second,

557
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: the report details efforts by the Russian military officials associated

558
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: with the GRU, the Russian military intelligence organization, to hack

559
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: into computers and steal documents and emails from individuals associated

560
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: with the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's campaign. But again,

561
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: the Special Council's report did not find any evidence that

562
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: members of the Trump campaign or anyone associated with the

563
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these

564
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 1: hacking operations. In other words, there was no evidence of

565
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign collusion with the Russian government's hacking. The

566
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: Special Council's investigation also examined Russian efforts to publish stolen

567
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: emails and documents on the internet. The Special Council found

568
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: that after the GRU disseminated some of the stolen documents

569
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: to entities that it controlled, dc leaks and goosafer two,

570
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: the GRU transferred some of the stolen materials to wiki

571
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: leaks for publication. Wiki Leaks then made a series of

572
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: document dumps. The Special Council also investigated whether any member

573
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: or affiliate of the Trump campaign encouraged or otherwise played

574
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: a role in these dissemination efforts. Under applicable law, publication

575
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: of these types of material would not be criminal unless

576
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: the publisher also participated in the underlying hacking conspiracy. After

577
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: finding no underlying collusion with Russia, the Special Council's report

578
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: goes on to consider whether certain actions of the President

579
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: could amount to obstruction of the Special Council's investigation. As

580
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: I addressed in my March twenty fourth letter, the Special

581
00:34:55,080 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: Council did not make a traditional prosecutorial judgment regarding this allegation. Instead,

582
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: the report recounts ten episodes involving the President and discusses

583
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: potential legal theories for connecting those activities to the elements

584
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: of an obstruction offense. After carefully reviewing the facts and

585
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: legal theories outlined in the report and in consultation with

586
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: the Office of Legal Counsel and other Department lawyers, the

587
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General and I concluded that the evidence developed

588
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: by the Special Counsel is not sufficient to establish that

589
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: the President committed an obstruction of justice offense. Although the

590
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General and I disagreed with some of the

591
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Special Council's legal theories and felt that some of the

592
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: episodes examined did not amount to obstruction as a matter

593
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: of law, we did not rely solely on that in

594
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: making our decision. Instead, we accepted the Special Counsel's legal

595
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: framework for purposes of our analysis and evaluated the evidence

596
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: as presented by the Special Counsel in reaching our conclusions.

597
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: In assessing the president's actions discussed in the report, it

598
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: is important to bear in mind the context. President Trump

599
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: faced an unprecedented situation as he entered into office and

600
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: sought to perform his responsibilities as president. Federal agents and

601
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: prosecutors were scrutinizing his conduct before and after taking office

602
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: and the conduct of some of his associates. At the

603
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: same time, there was relentless speculation in the news media

604
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 1: about the president's personal culpability. Yet, as he said from

605
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: the beginning, there was in fact no collusion, and as

606
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: the Special Counsel's report acknowledges, there is substantial evidence to

607
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: show that the President was frustrated and angered by his

608
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency, propelled

609
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: by his political opponents and fueled by illegal leaks. Nonetheless,

610
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: the White House fully cooperated with the Special Council's investigation,

611
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing

612
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: senior aids to testify freely, and asserting no privileged claims,

613
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: and at the same time, the President took no act

614
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: that in fact deprived the Special Counsel of the documents

615
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation. Apart from whether

616
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 1: the acts were obstructive, this evidence of non corrupt motives

617
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: weighs heavily against any allegation that the President had a

618
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: corrupt intent to obstruct the investigation. As you will see,

619
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: most of the redactions were compelled by the need to

620
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: prevent harm to ongoing matters and to comply with court

621
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 1: orders prohibiting the public disclosure of information bearing on ongoing

622
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: investigations and criminal cases, such as the IRA case and

623
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: the Roger Stone case. These redactions were applied by Department

624
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: of Justice attorneys working closely together with attorneys from the

625
00:37:55,080 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: Special Counsel's Office, as well as the intelligence community and

626
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: prosecutors are handling the ongoing cases. The redactions are their

627
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,439
Speaker 1: work product. No redactions done by anybody outside this group.

628
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: There were no redactions done by anybody outside this group.

629
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: No one outside this group proposed any redactions, and no

630
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: one outside the Department has seen the unredacted report, with

631
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 1: the exception of certain sections that were made available to

632
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: I see the Intelligence community for their advice on protecting

633
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: intelligence sources and methods. Consistent with longstanding executive branch practice,

634
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: the decision whether to assert executive privilege over any portion

635
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: of the report rested with the President of the United States.

636
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 1: Because the White House had voluntarily cooperated with a Special Council,

637
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: significant portions of the report contained material over which the

638
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: President could have asserted privilege, and he would have been

639
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: well within his rights to do so. Following by March

640
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: twenty ninth letter, the Office of the White House count

641
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: requested the opportunity to review the redacted version of the

642
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: report in order to advise the President on the potential

643
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: invocation of privilege, which is consistent with longstanding practice. Following

644
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: that review, the President confirmed that, in the interests of

645
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 1: transparency and full disclosure to the American people, he would

646
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 1: not assert privilege over the Special Council's report. Accordingly, the

647
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: public report I am releasing today contains redactions only for

648
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: the four categories that I previously outlined, and no material

649
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: has been redacted based on executive privilege. In addition, earlier

650
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 1: this week, the President's Personal Council requested and was given

651
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: the opportunity to read a final version of the redacted

652
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: report before it was publicly released. That request was consistent

653
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: with a practice followed under the Ethics and Government Act,

654
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: which permitted individuals named in a report prepared by an

655
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: independent council the opportunity to read the report before publication.

656
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: The President's Personal were not permitted to make and did

657
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 1: not request any redactions. In addition to making the redacted

658
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: report public, we are also working with Congress to accommodate

659
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: their legitimate oversight interests with respect the Special Council's investigation.

660
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: We have been consulting with Chairman Graham and Chairman Nadler

661
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: through this process, and we will continue to do so.

662
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: Given the limited nature of the redactions, I believe that

663
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: the publicly released report will allow every American to understand

664
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: the results of the Special Council's investigation. Nevertheless, in an

665
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: effort to accommodate Congressional requests, we will make available, subject

666
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: to appropriate safeguards, to a bipartisan group of leaders from

667
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: several Congressional committees, a version of the report with all

668
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: redactions removed except those relating to grand jury information. Thus,

669
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: these members of Congress will be able to see all

670
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: of the redacted material for themselves, with a limited exception

671
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: of that which by law cannot be shared. I believe

672
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: that this accommodation, together with my upcoming testimony before the

673
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: Senate and House Judiciary Committees, will satisfy any need Congress

674
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: has for information regarding the Special Counsel's investigation. All right,

675
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: that was the Attorney General as nine thirty this morning

676
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: as he broke the news. We've now read through this report.

677
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: We'll have more on the other side. A huge Hannity tonight,

678
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,879
Speaker 1: nine eastern on the Fox News Channel quick Break, Right back,

679
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: we'll continue as we continue with Attorney General bars comments

680
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 1: from earlier this morning, as he laid out why there's

681
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: nothing to indict, no obstruction, and no collusion, whether you

682
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: like it or not in the liberal media. Mister Attorney General,

683
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: we don't have the report in hand, so could you

684
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: explain for us the Special Council's articulated reason for not

685
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: reaching a decision on obstruction of justice and if it

686
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: had anything to do with the department's longstanding gits on

687
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: non inditing as sitting president, and you say agree with

688
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: some of his legal theories, what did you disagree with him? Honest,

689
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: I'd leave it to his description in the report, the

690
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: Special Council's own articulation of why he did not want

691
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: to make a determination as to whether or not there

692
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: was an obstruction of fence. But I will say that

693
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: when we met with him, a Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein

694
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: and I met with him along with Ed O'Callahan, who

695
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 1: is the principal Associate Deputy on March fifth. We specifically

696
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: asked him about the OLC opinion and whether or not

697
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: he was taking the position that he would have found

698
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: a crime but for the existence of the OLC opinion,

699
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,359
Speaker 1: And he made it very clear several times that that

700
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: was not his position. He was not saying that but

701
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: for the OLC opinion he would have found a crime.

702
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 1: He made it clear that he had not made the

703
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: determination that there was a crime. Given that, why did you,

704
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,040
Speaker 1: mister Rosenstein field, the need you had to take it

705
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: to the next step to conclude that there was no crime,

706
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 1: especially given that DOJ policy, well the very prosecutorial function

707
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: and all our powers as prosecutors, including the power to

708
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 1: convene grand juries, and the compulsory process that's involved there

709
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: is for one purpose and one purpose only. It's determined

710
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 1: yes or no, was alleged conduct criminal or not criminal.

711
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: That is our responsibility, and that's why we have the

712
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: tools we have, and we don't go through this process

713
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: just to collect information and throw it out to the public.

714
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 1: We collect this information, we use that compulsory process for

715
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: the purpose of making that decision. And because the Special

716
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: Counsel did not make that decision, we felt the Department

717
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: had to. And that was a decision by me and

718
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: the Deputy Attorney General. Special Council indication that he wanted

719
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: you to make the decision or that it should be

720
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: left for Congress, and also, how do you respond to

721
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: criticism you're receiving from congressional Democrats that you're acting more

722
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: as an attorney for the president rather than as the

723
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: chief law offersman officer. Special Counsel. Mueller did not indicate

724
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: that his purpose was to leave the decision to Congress.

725
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 1: I hope that was not his view, since we don't

726
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 1: convene grand juries and conduct criminal investigations for that purpose.

727
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 1: He did not. I didn't talk to him directly about

728
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: the fact that we were making the decision. But I

729
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: am told that his reaction to that was that it

730
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 1: was my prerogative as Attorney General to make that decision.

731
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: Asked for Robert Mueller himself to testify. Robert Mueller remained

732
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: a Justice Department employee as of this moment. Will you

733
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: permit him to testify publicly to Congress rejection for Bob

734
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: Mueller personally testifying, the Stinney generals, other Democrats who have

735
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: questioned some of the process here, a Republican appointed judge

736
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: on Tuesday said, you have, hope created an environment that

737
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 1: has called a significant part of the American public to

738
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: be concerned about these redactions to clear the president on obstruction.

739
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: The president is fundraising off of your comments about spying,

740
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: and here you have remarks that are quite generous to

741
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: the president, including acknowledging his feelings and his emotions. So

742
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: what do you say to people on both sides of

743
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: the aisle we're concerned that you are trying to protect

744
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: the president. Well, actually, the statements about his sincere beliefs

745
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: are recognizing the report that there was substantial evidence for that.

746
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure what your basis is for saying

747
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: that I am being generous to the president. He makes

748
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: an unprecedented situation. It just seems like there's a lot

749
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: of effort to say, to go out of your way

750
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 1: to acknowledge how this well is there is there another

751
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 1: precedent for it? No, but it's okay. So unpresidented as

752
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: an accurate description, isn't it. Yes, there's a lot of

753
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 1: public interest in the absence of the Special Council and

754
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: efforts of his team. Was he invited to joining up

755
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: with the podium? Why is he not here? This is

756
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: his report obviously that you're talking about, the day to

757
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: report he did for me. As the Attorney General, he

758
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 1: is required under the regulation to provide me with a

759
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: confidential report. I'm here to discuss my response to that

760
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: report and my decision entirely discretionary to make it public

761
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: since these reports are not supposed to be made public.

762
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,919
Speaker 1: That's what I'm here to discuss. All right, quick break

763
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: right back, We'll continue. Then we'll have a debate on

764
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: the other side of it. Danielle McLaughlin and Jonathan Gillham,

765
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: And with respect to the breaking New York Times story

766
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 1: about about the White House and Justice Department. The only

767
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: collusion here is colluding on this. This is actual collusion.

768
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: By the way, occasion warding, what does collusion look like?

769
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,720
Speaker 1: It looked at like the attorney general briefing, the Attorney

770
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 1: general's lawyer's briefing the president before Congress of the public.

771
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: Here's a different theory is that he spent the last

772
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: twenty years watching Fox News and he's become a real

773
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: Trump supporter and he's like everyone else in the admonistration.

774
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: I was asking, there's another explanation. Yeah, okay, but I

775
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: mean not saying you don't. I just think, you know,

776
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: if you look at his behavior, it is not that

777
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: of a geriatric It is that of a partisan. And

778
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: although we thought going into it that he's deeply conservative

779
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: as well, that he was very close to Trump, that

780
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 1: he was going to be a truck lackey of the president,

781
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: it turns out that this attorney general is he was

782
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: under oath. He said he wasn't going to talk about

783
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 1: the report till it comes out. So I think people

784
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: are confused at best confused. Why would you come out

785
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: and talk about a document and shape perspective of a

786
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: perspective on a document document that nobody has been able

787
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: to see what has changed in a week. The president

788
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: is the subject of the investigation, and honestly, I've never

789
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: heard of such a thing. It's a complete breach of president,

790
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: It's a breach of common sense, and indeed, it makes

791
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: Trump look blatantly guilty. We shouldn't take anything that Barr

792
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:52,640
Speaker 1: says tomorrow. You said it exactly right at the open.

793
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 1: We shouldn't take anything that Barr says tomorrow as anything

794
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: other than performative coonery. We shouldn't take anything that the

795
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: president says tomorrow as anything other than spit. This seems

796
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: to me it's just analysis here, exactly like something Trump

797
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 1: would do is push someone out to brand it, then

798
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,319
Speaker 1: rebrand it himself, and then the report comes out and

799
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: we have to go through all of it and do

800
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 1: our best to deal with it fairly, with every piece

801
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: of information. Painstaking. But Michael, it's also shortsighted. He again,

802
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: he does something once again that is going to scuff

803
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 1: up his reputations, actually his reputations, I mean the attorney

804
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the attorney generals. Bar may be the

805
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: person ultimately responsible for a change in how we select

806
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: our attorney generals. And it seemed bizarre at this point. Luckily,

807
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: this president has a client attorney general clearly and a

808
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: very amped up, jacked up message operation. Sean Hannity said

809
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: two years ago that Richard Nixon wouldn't have had to

810
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: resign if he'd had Fox News. Actually think HARALDA said

811
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: it to Sean Hannity and they chuckled. That might be true,

812
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: because this conduct is as sort of impeachable looking if

813
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: you put it in a time capsule, as Nixon's conduct.

814
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: But when Nixon didn't have was an overdrive sort of

815
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: social media we now know, aided it, embedded by Russian

816
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: trolls and a news network dedicated to amplifying what is

817
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: a very subjective read of a report that, in the end,

818
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: if it exonerates them, why are they so upset by

819
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: all the details? All right, they have it more of

820
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 1: the media meltdown. I'll take it as a compliment because

821
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 1: we told the truth. It is amazing, it's so predictable.

822
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 1: It's everything I told you would happen yesterday happens. But

823
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: it's over, and they don't know yet that it's over

824
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: in so many different ways. Eight hundred and ninety four one.

825
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: Sean Tolfree telephone number. Now we played in the last

826
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: half hour the Attorney General, Bill Barr and he had

827
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein right next to him, and the Office Illegal

828
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: Counsel in conjunction with with consulting the Special Counsel. Yeah,

829
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: they left it to them to decide unobstruction. And for

830
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: all the reasons that we've discussed earlier in the program,

831
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: today it's over. It doesn't matter what these people think.

832
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: None of these people care about real obstruction because like

833
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: they cared about I believe, every woman has a right

834
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 1: to be believed. I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe.

835
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 1: Then it's a democratic governor lieutenant governor in the state

836
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: or the Commonwealth of Virginia, State of Virginia, who is

837
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: accused of rape and violent sexual assault by two separate

838
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: individuals who told people at the time give compelling interviews

839
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 1: to Gail King of CBS, and all the I believers

840
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 1: are nowhere to be found. They don't care about real obstruction,

841
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: but with an underlying crime, which is this is the

842
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: biggest problem here. Biggest problem they have is that they

843
00:50:55,680 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: have no underlying crime. The president is totally incompletely exonerated.

844
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: The idea these ten items laid out in part two

845
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: of this you know waste monotonous, boring, dull, ridiculous report

846
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: that took two and a half years to put together,

847
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 1: is that they have nothing except in nuendo, which is

848
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 1: all they're left with and process crimes. Yeah, well I

849
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: conclude things. I've gotten things out of this and nobody

850
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: else seems to get. And you know what, they blow

851
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: up the most insignificant things, ignoring the biggest one is

852
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: that we are vulnerable as a country, which brings to

853
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: light the danger of what Hillary did by putting top

854
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,720
Speaker 1: secret classified information on a mom and pop you know server,

855
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: and then yeah, that was a real violation, fell in

856
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: the Espionage Act. And then of course they rigged that investigation.

857
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: And then of course the intent destroying subpoened emails and

858
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: washing her hard drive and beating up her blackberries and iPhones. Yeah,

859
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 1: that was all that was. The intention was to destroy

860
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: the evidence. Slam dun case. Not one person in this

861
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: corrupt rage, hatred media mob dare bring that up because

862
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 1: they lose. But it's now now everything begins to go

863
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: back to what I've been saying. Anyway, joining us Now

864
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: we have Jonathan Gillham, former FBI agent, Federal Air Marshall,

865
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: author of Sheep No More. Danielle McLaughlin, attorney, constitutional expert.

866
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: Thank you both for being with us. When you get

867
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 1: to the bottom line and all of this, there is

868
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: no collusion, there is no obstruction, there is no case

869
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 1: for such, and now we have this is their last

870
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: gasp at hysterical and feigning coverage of moral outrage, which

871
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: we know is selective and phony. Jonathan. Yeah, and I

872
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 1: think you know. I watched your show last night on

873
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: Fox News, John, and one thing that really stood out

874
00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: is I winners. I wanted to see how media was

875
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,760
Speaker 1: spending certain things and how people were going to say stuff.

876
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: What you just brought up is something that's very important

877
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: is that throughout this entire time, you all have been

878
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 1: showing proof. You've been saying this. You know, these are

879
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: the examples of what happened and how this case should

880
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: have never gone forward with the fake dossier and the

881
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: fake evidence and all these other things. And it was

882
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: very important because last night was validating for you, and

883
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: today is validating for you. But what it showed me

884
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: was that when people on the right discuss and analyze this,

885
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: they do it with evidence, not with emotion. And that

886
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: is the biggest thing that you see today with all

887
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 1: those clips that you just played, is that it's a

888
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: hundred percent emotion. And these people are are being fed

889
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: their own information that they created and then they get

890
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: emotional about it. And it reminds me of when it's

891
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: what they've wanted and they put all their credibility, not

892
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 1: that they had any on the line, and they ran

893
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: with their sources. But when you get to the whole issue,

894
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: they've been saying Russia, Russia, Russia, collusion, collusion, collusion, collusion.

895
00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 1: And even when the Muller reported with his partisan team

896
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: of hacks, I mean you could they're seething with hatred

897
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 1: and dying and wishing and hoping that they can nail

898
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: this guy, and they can't, you know. And when the

899
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: report has the state the investigation did not establish members

900
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian

901
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: government in its election interference activities, the case is over.

902
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: And then you say, well, the President wanted to fire Sessions,

903
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,040
Speaker 1: and he wanted to fire Muller, and he wanted to

904
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: he wanted General Flynn not to get in trouble, and

905
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: you know, all of this Okay, Well, the Danielle you

906
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: also had people in the deep state that wanted to

907
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: wear a wire on the president and talked openly about it,

908
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: and wanted to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment and talked

909
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 1: openly about it. And then you have real evidence where

910
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, you know, had her investigation rigged from the

911
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: get go and evidence of obstruction. The double standard is

912
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 1: nauseating in this country. Good afternoon, guys. You know, there

913
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: are ten instances in this report where the president is

914
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: alleged to have obstructed justice, and there are many more

915
00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 1: where it's reported by the investigators that he tried and

916
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: failed because people around him decided that they weren't gone

917
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: to go along. I agree, you know, Robert Muller did

918
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: his job. Bill bar did his job. They have concluded

919
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: basically because the president, they've decided cannot be indicted for

920
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: a crime, which is DOJ guidance that there is not

921
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: a crime there. The answer here will be political, And

922
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: the way I think about it as this, would you

923
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: lose your job if you've done these things? I would

924
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,000
Speaker 1: lose my job. This is a political thing. This is

925
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: I suspect there. Maybe if you've done what if you've

926
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,480
Speaker 1: done what things, what done? What? There's an eternal investigation

927
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:50,799
Speaker 1: that your job, and you do go out of your

928
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,479
Speaker 1: way to destroy evidence. You lie to the American people,

929
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:56,760
Speaker 1: which is what Sarah Sanders did when she talked about

930
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 1: that FBI agents all of a country were glad that

931
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: Jim Komi was was fine. By the way, No excuse me.

932
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: Every FBI agent I know, and Jonathan knows more than me.

933
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,080
Speaker 1: None of them like what the likes of Comey Struck,

934
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 1: Paige McCabe and others did. None of them. But that's

935
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: not what Sarah said. She said that people had told

936
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: her that from the FBI, and that was a lie.

937
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: She liked it. How do you know, Wait a minute,

938
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm hearing it from my FBI friends all the time.

939
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,359
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, I'm wearing an FBI pin

940
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: a lot of nights on TV because one of my

941
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 1: FBI buddies said, you know, thank you for sticking up

942
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 1: for the ninety nine percent of us that are honest

943
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: and decent and hard working and and take our job

944
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 1: seriously and we would never do what they did here.

945
00:56:36,800 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 1: I have alternate respect for any person in law enforcement.

946
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Sarah sand it's lying about what a

947
00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: purported You keep repeating it, but you know, but I'm

948
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: telling you, I'm hearing it everywhere from the same FBI agents,

949
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 1: Probably Jonathan, what do you hear from your FBI buddies.

950
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: It's still a lie because it's not don't see what

951
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: people are looking at when they're saying that somebody instructed justice.

952
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 1: There was nothing there. And if you're being an investigator,

953
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: if anybody else is being investigated and they didn't do

954
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,879
Speaker 1: anything wrong, I would be telling people as well. As

955
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: a former FBI agent, I would tell people, don't cooperate,

956
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: go get an attorney. If somebody's trying to prove you

957
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,439
Speaker 1: guilty of something that you didn't do and they're fabricating

958
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: evidence and the entire case is hinging on fake evidence,

959
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: I would say, get an attorney, don't cooperate, and then

960
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: if you get a chance to go out into the

961
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: media and stand up for yourself, I would say, do that.

962
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: And that is exactly what the Trump administration did. There's

963
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: no obstruction of justice because there was no justice. How

964
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: can you obstruct a fake investigation? There is a difference

965
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: between not cooperating and actively obstructing. An intent to cooperate

966
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: with a fake investigation. Why would operate with a fake

967
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 1: investigation if you had if you weren't conducting an investigation

968
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: as an agent, and you knew that someone was trying

969
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: to tell people to lie, was destroy only evidence, was

970
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: telling people to lie on other accounts? Would would you

971
00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 1: go after that person for obstructing your investigation? Daniel I

972
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: would never investigate somebody unless, and this is where the

973
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: SBA works, unless we have probable cause to believe that

974
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,479
Speaker 1: they're guilty. And in this case, there was no cart

975
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: probable cause. It was the sake piece of evidence that

976
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: was paid for by political operatives. I would never have

977
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: brought that investigation forward, Danielle. We know about Papadopoulos, we

978
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: know about the Australian ambassador, We know about the fact

979
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: that somebody connected to that campaign knew that Russia had

980
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,360
Speaker 1: hacked the DNC and there was damaging information on Hillary Clinton.

981
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: That is probable cause. You cannot have foreign interference in

982
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: an election. And I want to say this again, I

983
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: accept the report as all Americans should. They did not

984
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: find criminal wrongdoing. This will become a political process, and

985
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: who knows what's going to happen. We saw what happened

986
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: with Bill Clinton, New Gingrich got over his skis, he

987
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: went too hot, and the Republicans lost the House. So

988
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to have to decide what they do.

989
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: But when I see this stuff in writing, I just think,

990
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 1: if I had a job and I did all this stuff,

991
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking about people at HANS, would you keep

992
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 1: your job on? This conversation that you're having with us

993
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything because it was a completely fake investigation.

994
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. If you were standing you

995
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: were really hungry, and you were standing unger an apple

996
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: tree that was swarming with worms, but there was one

997
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: small apple up on top of that tree, would you

998
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: even waste your time with that? No, because it's a

999
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: spoiled tree. And that's the way justice works. We don't

1000
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: look at one thing that one person said and then

1001
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 1: build a case around that. We look at the entire

1002
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: case and we say, is their criminal activity going on here?

1003
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 1: And one person having one meeting when they were drinking

1004
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: does not make a case, right. But it was more

1005
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: than that. Okay, there were people who had ties more intree.

1006
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 1: I had been watching for you know, three years. Were

1007
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: all of these things that happened in due time? It

1008
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: was firing James Comy that got the Special counselor prosecutor

1009
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: because the President reportedly, and this is in the report,

1010
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: asked Jim Comey to go easy on Michael Flynn, to

1011
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: go easy on Michael Flynn, because Michael Flynn, and he

1012
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: was on tape, he was lying about his context with

1013
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: the Russian ambassador during the campaign, and I think maybe

1014
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: into the transition. So folks were worried that there was

1015
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: an act. There was an actor who was getting rid

1016
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: of people, who wasn't investigating his friends because and so

1017
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: they thought there might be something there. Turns out there

1018
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: was no connection between Russia and with lex and the

1019
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Trump campaign. They could not thread those dots. And I

1020
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: said to anybody in media, anyone on the left who

1021
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: was still banging the drum, the facts are there. You

1022
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: have to live with that. Okay, we have to live

1023
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: with us, and we have to go on. And I

1024
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: guess all right, let me, let me, let me go on.

1025
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: Then I'm just kidding anyway, thank you both. We'll have

1026
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: We're going to lay this all out tonight because this

1027
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: and it tears so predictable the media. This is going

1028
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: to be fun because they can't handle the truth at all.

1029
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: They can't admit they're wrong ever. All Right, that's going

1030
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: to wrap things up at today. Full coverage of the

1031
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 1: Muller Report tonight. Jay Sekulo, The Great One, Mark Levine,

1032
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Sarah Sanders, Devin Nouness, Sarah greg Ken Star, Alan Dershowitz,

1033
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 1: also the media freak out. We've got it all covered

1034
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: and what's to come we look into the future. They're

1035
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 1: out of Trump collusion coverage. It's over. They lost. Do

1036
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: you think is a story that's been uncovered in the

1037
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: past two years that the entire Russia collusion narrative was

1038
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 1: made up, that the FBI and the intelligence community and

1039
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice began an investigation against four American

1040
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: citizens simply because they worked for the opposition political candidate,

1041
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: that being Donald Trump. She is taking the FBI to

1042
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: task for having given unlimited, unsupervised access to raw intelligence.

1043
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: What used to look at in Google, telephone information, calls, texts,

1044
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 1: you name it. Everything every nightmare everybody has of information

1045
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: being collected by Big Brother. The FBI gave three private

1046
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: contractors unlimited, unsupervised access to that. All right. That was

1047
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: Sydney Powell on a radio show in New York and

1048
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: also on Cheryl Atkinson's She has her Sunday show called

1049
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: Full Measure. Sydney Powell is the author of the number

1050
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:41,480
Speaker 1: one runaway bestseller, Licensed to Lie, as you just heard,

1051
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:45,640
Speaker 1: and it exposes corruption in the Department of Justice, and

1052
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: also senior policy advisor for America First. Peter Schweitzer joins us.

1053
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: Remember when he wrote his book Compromised, and he talked

1054
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: about James Comey. We're going to get into how did

1055
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: Comey's net worth skyrock it so much? What is this

1056
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: connection to Muller? What did they have with uranium one?

1057
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: And we welcome you both our two Sean Hannity Show.

1058
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Thank you both for being with us. You know, Sydney,

1059
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm listening very closely to what you're saying. I'm going

1060
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: to ask you a two part question. Where are the

1061
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: FISA judges? When do we ever get to hear from them?

1062
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Because one thing I've learned in my life about judges,

1063
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: they don't like being lied to. And obviously a fraud

1064
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 1: on a spectacular level was perpetrated on them when the

1065
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: bulk of the information presented to them was the Hillary

1066
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Clinton bought and paid for Russian dossier that they swear

1067
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: when they presented to the judges has been verified. They

1068
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: purposely didn't expose Hillary as having paid for the document,

1069
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: just a slight asterisk it might have a political taint.

1070
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 1: What do you think those FISA judges are thinking today?

1071
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: They should be absolutely outraged, Sean. I mean, if our one,

1072
01:03:57,000 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 1: I would have already had everyone who signed the applications

1073
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: in front of me and under an order to show cause.

1074
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 1: While they shouldn't be held in contempt, but I imagine

1075
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: they are awaiting the report of the Inspector General on

1076
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: the FISA abuses. That's the only reason I can think

1077
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: of that they have been completely silent. Now, these judges

1078
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: are picked in secret by the Chief Justice in this

1079
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: case it would be John Roberts, and they serve varying

1080
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: amounts of time in terms of their term, and there

1081
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: are a number of them. Correct, that's correct, And so

1082
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: would it be something that they would be able to

1083
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: follow up on if it's discovered, and which it will

1084
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: be that they were that a fraud was perpetrated on them.

1085
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,080
Speaker 1: In other words, we now know that the bulk of

1086
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: information used in the applications for FISA were based on

1087
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: Hillary's bought and paid for Russian dossier, and the reason

1088
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: it's unverifiable is its author, Christopher Steele under oath in

1089
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: that interrogatory in Great Britain, says he doesn't even believe

1090
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 1: his own dossier, has no idea if it's true at all,

1091
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: maybe fifty fifty and that it was just raw intelligence

1092
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: and that's what they signed off on. Yeah. I also

1093
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: think Nelly Or and Glenn Simpson wrote about as much

1094
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: of it as Christopher Steele did. If Christopher Steele actually

1095
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: wrote any of it, yeah, well that's pretty unbelievable. All right.

1096
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Peter Schweitzer, great to have you back, and your book

1097
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: Compromised has done extraordinarily well. And you give a lot

1098
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: of detail about James Comey that we never knew before,

1099
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,600
Speaker 1: like his net worth skyrocketed over four thousand percent when

1100
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: he left the DOJ in two thousand and five, returned

1101
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 1: to the FBI in twenty thirteen. He made six point

1102
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: one million dollars after Muller's FBI. After Muller's FBI granted

1103
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 1: his employer, Lockheed Martin, the largest contract in history. Quote,

1104
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: you call it a billion dollar boondoggle. I'm not against

1105
01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: former law enforcement starting businesses and making money. But the

1106
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,919
Speaker 1: connection to Mueller goes even deeper than that. Why don't

1107
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:01,160
Speaker 1: you explain, Yeah, Sean, I mean, I think that's what

1108
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people have to realize, is that we

1109
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:08,040
Speaker 1: have to look at institutions like the intelligence community the

1110
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: way that we look at other government agencies. There's revolving doors.

1111
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: They have incentives to help their friends. In the case

1112
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: of Komey and Mueller, they have a relationship that goes

1113
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: back twenty five years and they've always sort of functioned

1114
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 1: as the tag team. And so when you have a

1115
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: circumstance where Bob Mueller is put in charge of an

1116
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 1: investigation that James Komey, his good friend, certainly has a

1117
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:37,560
Speaker 1: personal interest in stake in, it creates enormous problem. But

1118
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: add on top of that layer, Sean, the fact that

1119
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at the Muller rapport, the

1120
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: interesting thing that stands out to me their number of things,

1121
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:48,920
Speaker 1: But part of it is when we look at the

1122
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,919
Speaker 1: subject of foreign interference, the foreign interference that stands out

1123
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: to me is how much of m I six has

1124
01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:00,160
Speaker 1: fingerprints on this, whether it's Christopher Steele, whether it's of

1125
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: the stuff that was done to some of the lower

1126
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: level Trump campaign of volunteers. It speaks to the problem

1127
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 1: that when you have an intelligence community, it's a community,

1128
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: and Bob Muller and James Comey have long, deep, established

1129
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: relationships with people in intelligence, which is fine, but when

1130
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: that spills over into interfering in a presidency and a

1131
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: presidential election, you have a huge problem. And that's where

1132
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: I think is a big overlooked story. In addition to

1133
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: all the other headlines that we can glean from the

1134
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Muller report, what you're really saying is and this now

1135
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:40,880
Speaker 1: is coming up more and more and more, especially and

1136
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: we'll have John Solomon coming up at the bottom of

1137
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: the hour. But there is more and more evidence that

1138
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm hearing a lot more chatter from my sources that

1139
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:51,880
Speaker 1: the official start date of this Russia witch hunt was

1140
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: not July thirty. First, it was not based on Papadopolis

1141
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 1: who was being spied upon and tasked to spy on

1142
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Papadoppola and Carter Page and Sam Clovis that it started

1143
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: well before that, probably in February the same year of

1144
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:09,160
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and that some of this might be related

1145
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: to some of our allies and outsourcing of intelligence methods,

1146
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: in other words, using methods that would be illegal for

1147
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: our intelligence officials to use. Again, I want to put

1148
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: this caveat in though you know, we have the premier

1149
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: law enforcement agency known as the FBI in the entire world,

1150
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:28,919
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent the same with our intelligence agents,

1151
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine point nine percent would never abuse the powerful

1152
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,599
Speaker 1: tools that we give them. We're talking about that tiny

1153
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 1: one tenth of one percent, the upper echelon that abused

1154
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: their power here. But did they outsource to foreign countries

1155
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 1: or task our allies with doing things for them that

1156
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: they knew they couldn't do because it's illegal here, in

1157
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: other words, spy on Americans. No. I think the answer

1158
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: to that yes, But I think your percentage is a

1159
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: little bit hishaw on. I think we've got probably a

1160
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: twenty percent problem, and a lot of the agencies. Well,

1161
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,200
Speaker 1: that scares me because if you're talking about the tools

1162
01:09:04,200 --> 01:09:08,760
Speaker 1: of intelligence, as Chuck Schumer who probably infamously famously said

1163
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: that you know, you screw with the Intelligence Committee, They're

1164
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,240
Speaker 1: going to get you ten ways in the Sunday right, Well,

1165
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think the percentage is, Peter Schweitzer,

1166
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:21,120
Speaker 1: I think it's fifth. Yeah, it's probably fifteen to twenty percent.

1167
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: I think it's highly concentrated among those that work out

1168
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: of FBI headquarters in Washington, d C. I mean, you

1169
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: hear this time and time again, people that work at

1170
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: the Bureau. They've done great work in the field, they

1171
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: moved to headquarters and it becomes much more political. But

1172
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: I think to your larger point, Sean, you're absolutely right.

1173
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a story of outsourcing and trying

1174
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 1: to gin up an investigation without having your fingerprints on it.

1175
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, look, if you and I lie

1176
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:51,719
Speaker 1: to the FBI, we all know that that's a crime.

1177
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 1: If we file a false police reports we claim our

1178
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,800
Speaker 1: neighbor did something nefarious that they didn't do, that's a

1179
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 1: criminal offense. What a species spilett Right, But you know,

1180
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 1: but if you look at if you look at what

1181
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: happened in the case of the dossier, but Clinton's essentially

1182
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: paid a guy to do that and try to avoid

1183
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: having their fingerprints on it. And I think that's why

1184
01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: what the Attorney General has said it is so important

1185
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: is we need to investigate the investigation. We need to

1186
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: look at the headwaters of all of this and see

1187
01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: how did this happen because it's had a dramatically, you know,

1188
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 1: troubling effect on our politics, on this administration. And if

1189
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: you don't deal with this, this is going to become

1190
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure in American politics. And I don't think

1191
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 1: anybody wants that. So then let me go. We even

1192
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: know who the private contractors are that Comey gave that

1193
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: illegal access to to the raw fis the raw NSA

1194
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: database that's crucial. One of them's got to be Fusion GPS.

1195
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: There are a lot of indicators for that. One of

1196
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 1: them may very well be crowds Strike, the group that

1197
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 1: also gave the reviewed the DNC server and as heavily

1198
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:08,479
Speaker 1: Clinton connected. Sidney, let me go back to the Muller

1199
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: report from yesterday. Usually, if a prosecutor or in this

1200
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:20,120
Speaker 1: case a special counsel, if they can't indict, the details

1201
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 1: of what they may have found, etc. Etc. Never come out.

1202
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: But that I think Robert Muller, because look at the

1203
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:29,840
Speaker 1: team around him. I think you're the world's biggest critic,

1204
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: and I'm probably number two of Andrew Weissman, Jennie Ray

1205
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: in this merry band of Democratic donors and only Democratic

1206
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: donors that Muller surrounded himself with which was fundamentally unfair

1207
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: in the in the first place. So we have a

1208
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:47,719
Speaker 1: definitive statement no collusion, got it, But he leaves open

1209
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: we're not saying we're not clearing him, we're not making

1210
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,640
Speaker 1: a determination of any kind. But he really should have,

1211
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:57,679
Speaker 1: and by not doing it, he has sort of left

1212
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 1: the door open. That to me was all political because

1213
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: when Rod Rosenstein and the Office Illegal Counsel and the

1214
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: Attorney General all at once, in about thirty seconds after

1215
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 1: reading the report say does not rise to the level

1216
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: of any type of indictment, then Muller did all of that.

1217
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, all the things he listed were stupid.

1218
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 1: You agree totally? Is Yeah, this is textbook Andrew Weisman

1219
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: smear tactic and throwing red meat to the Democrats to

1220
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 1: fuel their resistance and impeachment efforts or whatever trouble they

1221
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: want to cause for the next eighteen months. That's absolutely

1222
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: all it is. Let me pick it up right there. Yeah,

1223
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: I want to pick it up there. I mean, if

1224
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't rise to the level of an indictable offense,

1225
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,840
Speaker 1: and disinformation is meaningles We'll get to that more with

1226
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 1: Sidney Powell Peter Schweitzer on the other side, John Solomon

1227
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour. Oh, and then Haraldos.

1228
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 1: He's wondering if any Democratic Kennedy they're going to apologize

1229
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. That'll be fund him and Dan Bongino

1230
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: all coming up Friday edition Sean Hannity Show, Straight ahead,

1231
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: right as we continue. Sidney Powell, author License to Lie,

1232
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: Peter Schweitzer, author of the book Compromised, Thank you both

1233
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 1: for being with us. I want to go back, Sydney

1234
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,759
Speaker 1: to the second part of the Mueller Report. He doesn't

1235
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: make a determination, just lays out the facts. Basically, all

1236
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: he's saying is Donald Trump publicly talked about firing Muller Rosenstein,

1237
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions, and he hoped and was praying that General

1238
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,320
Speaker 1: Flynn didn't getting a lot of trouble. Okay, that's called

1239
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 1: freedom of speech. He didn't do or act anyway on

1240
01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: any of these issues. Just like the deep state officials

1241
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: that were talking about secretly taping the president or invoking

1242
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,120
Speaker 1: in the twenty fifth Amendment, they only talked about it,

1243
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: they didn't do it. So it's not a crime. It's

1244
01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: not obstruction. Hillary Clinton's case was obstruction with real intent

1245
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:49,040
Speaker 1: with an underlying real crime. So Muller put it in there.

1246
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 1: Why to throw red meat to the Democrats. It's mister

1247
01:13:52,680 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 1: Weisman's report. I call it the Weisman report, not the

1248
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,680
Speaker 1: Mueller report. I guarantee. And mister Muller didn't write this.

1249
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if he even read the whole thing.

1250
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 1: Maybe he edited a word here and there, But this

1251
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: is textbook, Andrew Weissman. It's a smear campaign. It's throwing

1252
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 1: red meat to the Democrats to fuel the resistance and

1253
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: whatever impeachment and other havocs they want to wreck for

1254
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: the next eighteen months, to continue the harassment of the president.

1255
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: That's absolutely all it is. There isn't a single case

1256
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 1: or statute in the obstruction section would warrant an obstruction prosecution.

1257
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: In fact, on page nine I think it is, they

1258
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 1: even flag it as potentially relevant obstruction statute. That is

1259
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: a huge red flag right there that they have. Absolutely,

1260
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 1: it's a great that's a great catch. I actually picked

1261
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: up on that as I was reading it. I actually

1262
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: read through the whole thing. Believe it or not, there

1263
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: has to be an underlying crime, and there has to

1264
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:49,000
Speaker 1: be intent. Hillary did violate the Espionage Act. It is irrefutable.

1265
01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: The evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible, and we know that

1266
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 1: that investigation was rigged. We know the intent when she

1267
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: deleted the subpoena emails and cleaned up the hard drive

1268
01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: with bleach bit and usted up the devices was to

1269
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 1: destroy evidence in that case. That is your former prosecutors.

1270
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 1: Not that a slam dunk dunk obstruction case. Yes, one

1271
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: of the stunning things about the report is the obstruction

1272
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,720
Speaker 1: of justice legal analysis. If only anything like that had

1273
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 1: been applied to Hillary Clinton's concrete actions in destroying her blackberries,

1274
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 1: having her hard drive bleach fitted and yeah, completely wiped out,

1275
01:15:29,320 --> 01:15:33,240
Speaker 1: and destroying all the emails after they've been subpoena. All

1276
01:15:33,280 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: of that, all of that conduct was actual obstruction of

1277
01:15:37,040 --> 01:15:40,800
Speaker 1: justice and destruction of evidence. Nothing they talk about in

1278
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 1: the report as a respecting the president was obstruction in

1279
01:15:45,040 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form. Last word, Peter Schweitzer, Well,

1280
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: look all that they're left with, after all the claims

1281
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 1: at the beginning of twenty seventeen that there was massive

1282
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: collusion and cooperation were left now with the essentially saying

1283
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: that there were some meetings and that some contact between

1284
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: Trump campaign officials and Russians. If that is where it's left.

1285
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: The Clinton team has far deeper ties, far closer relationships

1286
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 1: with those same Russian entities. And I think Sidney talked

1287
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:20,440
Speaker 1: about it earlier. It's really the double standard that everybody

1288
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: is set up with. If you want to have a

1289
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: consistent standard, a hard standard apply to Trump applied to Clinton.

1290
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: That's great, that's fine. I think that's a good thing.

1291
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:32,479
Speaker 1: But that's not what's happening. And that's why people look

1292
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 1: at this and believe the process has a lot of

1293
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 1: exit question yes or no answer. Will people be indicted? Sydney, yes, Peter, yes,

1294
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 1: three yeses? All right, Thank you both, Peter Schweitzer, Sidney Powell.

1295
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: We appreciate your insight as always. When we come back,

1296
01:16:50,200 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: John Solomon, well, he's breaking big news next week. He'll

1297
01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: give us a preview. Do you feel like this public

1298
01:16:56,479 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: facing document by Robert Muller in his office today correctly

1299
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: and aptly explains why those investigations were started and whether

1300
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: the predicate was SAMP I think it does. I think

1301
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:12,760
Speaker 1: it validates the decisions that we made, certainly in July

1302
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,640
Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen, to start the initial Russia focused investigation,

1303
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,040
Speaker 1: and then, of course the decisions that we made in

1304
01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,960
Speaker 1: May of twenty seventeen to include the president in that

1305
01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:29,200
Speaker 1: investigation personally. As you know, Rachel, the FBI, the standard

1306
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: for predication to open an investigation in the FBI is

1307
01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: an articable factual basis to believe that a threat to

1308
01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: national security might exist or that a federal crime might

1309
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 1: have been committed. We have been saying as much as

1310
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 1: we can publicly in the last few months that those

1311
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:47,679
Speaker 1: are the reasons, looking at the facts that we had

1312
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: before us, that we opened the case on President Trump

1313
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: in May of twenty seventeen. The Mole report today, this

1314
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: redactive versional report that we got essentially tries to address

1315
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:01,320
Speaker 1: the controversy a little bit over what it would take

1316
01:18:01,400 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: to get a FI as a warrant on somebody for

1317
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: which you have to prove to the court that somebody

1318
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: may be acting as a foreign agent that's right, versus

1319
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: no prosecutorial decision to charge that person as a foreign agent. Right?

1320
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 1: Tell us about that distinction? Sure, So the standard you

1321
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 1: have to prove to the fies a court that to

1322
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 1: a not a proponents of evidence. I see this essentially

1323
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 1: as a roadmap for prosecutors after the president has left office,

1324
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 1: or for the Judiciary Committee while the president is still

1325
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: in office, to essentially pursue those charges in a trial

1326
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: after he's no longer president, or an impeachment proceedings while

1327
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: he's in Congress. I think otherwise you wouldn't go to

1328
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:39,479
Speaker 1: the lengths that they go to in order to explain

1329
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 1: the president's state of mind. It's that how you read it.

1330
01:18:41,720 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: It's absolutely how I read it. You know, the Bob

1331
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: Muller that I know, the Bob Muller that I worked

1332
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: for for many years, is not a guy who's going

1333
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: to write a report that contradicts existing DJ policy. So

1334
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: he's not going to write a report that says the

1335
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: president should be indicted, knowing that that's not a possibility

1336
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 1: under the current policy. But what Director Muller has done

1337
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,679
Speaker 1: here is he's provided an avalanche of facts that clearly

1338
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 1: indicate obstructive activity on the part of the president. He

1339
01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 1: calls it out plainly in ten different sections in that

1340
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 1: volume two of the report, and he lays out why

1341
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:17,759
Speaker 1: he believes in many of those cases the intent is present.

1342
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: Why he believes that the the nexus to the contemplated

1343
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: or ongoing matter as present. So the analysis is extraordinary,

1344
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: The scope is incredibly damning for the president. Nothing you

1345
01:19:29,720 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 1: just heard from former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is accurate.

1346
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,360
Speaker 1: It's not accurate on the law, it's not the interpretation

1347
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: of what the Special Council said and did. Yet it

1348
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: was a political document. Sure did he point out, Well, Congress,

1349
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 1: you can take this and run with it if you want.

1350
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, good luck to anybody that thinks

1351
01:19:53,439 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 1: that missing the fundamental issues, no Russia collusion at all.

1352
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: And for a guy that is under his own criminal

1353
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,800
Speaker 1: investigation here and likely up to his eyeballs in more

1354
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:13,559
Speaker 1: legal trouble to make those comments and for him to

1355
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: make those suggestions, all it does is reaffirm everything that

1356
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 1: we have known and know about the deep state. Remember

1357
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: he was there when all the talk about, oh, let's

1358
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: secretly spy on the president, let's invoke the twenty fifth Amendment.

1359
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: It was the deputy director at the time, Andrew McCabe,

1360
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: that allowed the fies of warrant to be based on unverified,

1361
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:47,679
Speaker 1: uncorroborated Hillary bought and paid for Russian lies. Because of

1362
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: his and others disdain for all things Trump, And remember

1363
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:55,840
Speaker 1: when Page and Struck were texting back and forth and

1364
01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:59,839
Speaker 1: they're talking about Andy, and they're talking about the insurance policy.

1365
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 1: That's the same Mandy on the media side of it.

1366
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: I mean, as I mentioned earlier, this hope we might

1367
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 1: be able to resitate, resuscitate this. It's not going to work.

1368
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: And the avalanche we've been talking about is coming. John

1369
01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 1: Solomon next week is going to break huge news as

1370
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 1: he has since March of twenty seventeen when this all

1371
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 1: began for us, he joins us. Now he's the executive

1372
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 1: director of The Hill Investigative Reporter. And John, is there

1373
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: anything I just said about my analysis about McCabe that's wrong? No,

1374
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's fascinating to me. As you've watched

1375
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,839
Speaker 1: the last few months, as Democrats have tried to sustain

1376
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:48,280
Speaker 1: the now disproven collusion narrative, they've had to turn to

1377
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 1: less and less credible people. Who did the Democrats call

1378
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 1: as their first witness when they have their first airing

1379
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 1: on Trump? They called a convicted liar Michael Cohen? And

1380
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,560
Speaker 1: what did he do? He gave more an accurate testimony

1381
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: last night? What did the networks that have tried to

1382
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 1: sustain a false narrative. Do they turn to Andrew McCabe,

1383
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 1: a now confirmed lawyer who's facing prosecution for that line.

1384
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: And the reason they have to turn to people like

1385
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 1: that is that credible people who now know the facts

1386
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,040
Speaker 1: can't say what they want to have on their network.

1387
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,600
Speaker 1: And I think it's a shame for journalism that what

1388
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: we're getting on these television networks is less factual and

1389
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: more propaganda at a time when this country deserves the facts.

1390
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: The facts are Director Mueller, Special Prosecutor Mueller said no

1391
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 1: American read that no American colluded with Russia on their

1392
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 1: campaign to disrupt the election. That is a fact. It

1393
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: is now not in dispute, and anything Andrew McCabe says

1394
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: can't undercut that finding. So I think we're in a

1395
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 1: period now where we're actually in fantasyland. Responsible networks should

1396
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:55,480
Speaker 1: acknowledge where the factual case of stands and start embracing

1397
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 1: it and explaining it to the American people. There are

1398
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 1: lots of important issues to be resolved, but pretending there's

1399
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 1: still a collusion fantasy is not doing anyone any good. Well,

1400
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:06,639
Speaker 1: I don't think they can let it go. I think

1401
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:10,480
Speaker 1: it is that ingrained and it's really now a psychosis

1402
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: that exists, and it's so fascinating because they just want

1403
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: to double down. But what they're going to end up

1404
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: doing is just, you know, slowly gradually moving on to

1405
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 1: oh maybe the memorandum of understanding between Cummings and Maxie

1406
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Waters and the cowardly shift Adam shift, because one way

1407
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: or another, they're not going to govern the country. They're

1408
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 1: just going to try and destroy this man, as they

1409
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,200
Speaker 1: have from day one. The fact that it's so clear

1410
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: that there was no collusion from the beginning, even the

1411
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:46,080
Speaker 1: items that are mentioned in the second part of Muller's report. Okay, yeah,

1412
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 1: he said publicly maybe I should fire Mueller and Rosenstein

1413
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 1: and Sessions. And he didn't hide any of his comments.

1414
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: He had every right to fire Comey, why though it

1415
01:23:57,560 --> 01:23:59,720
Speaker 1: was even brought up, is absurd to me. Comy in

1416
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 1: his own words, that he could be fired for any

1417
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 1: reason and no reason at all, or the idea, well,

1418
01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: don again, he wants to be the hero in all this,

1419
01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: and he saved the president from firing Muller, etc. Etc.

1420
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, you didn't, because if the president wanted

1421
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: to do it, he would have done it, and knowing

1422
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trumpe as well as I do, he was venting

1423
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 1: he was sick of it because he was an innocent

1424
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:27,240
Speaker 1: man for two and a half years being persecuted unjustly

1425
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 1: and was pissed off rightly so and screaming it at

1426
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 1: the top of his lungs, which I can't blame him for.

1427
01:24:36,240 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: When I wrote my column yesterday, what I said is

1428
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: the Democrats are trying to take the actions of an

1429
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: innocent man trying to defend himself against false allegations and

1430
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 1: make it look like obstructive behavior. You have a right

1431
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: to defend yourself if you see people that are conspiring

1432
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: to make a false allegation against you. We did this.

1433
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: We're allowed when we face a criminal child, to knock

1434
01:24:57,600 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 1: jurors out of vordeer because we don't think they're going

1435
01:24:59,840 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: to be fair to us. What you see in Donald

1436
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: Trump is that when he's thinking about mother, he's like,

1437
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he could be fair to me. Just

1438
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: hired seventeen Democrats at the same time. Were some of

1439
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,200
Speaker 1: his comments in temperate Shore Will. He learned from some

1440
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,599
Speaker 1: of these things, perhaps, but at the end of the day,

1441
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: to build an obstruction case on what when there is

1442
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: no crime. He wasn't obstructing a legitimate criminal investigation. There

1443
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: was no crime, and what he was really doing was

1444
01:25:22,200 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 1: trying to defend his presidency and himself from what he

1445
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: ultimately turned out to be truthfully saying, which was there

1446
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:31,200
Speaker 1: was no collusion. It's really remarkable. I wrote a whole

1447
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 1: column on it yesterday, and lots of people of commenting

1448
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 1: on it, because when you look at it from the

1449
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 1: different perspective, would a man obstructing an investigation open up

1450
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:41,679
Speaker 1: all of his files, all of his files, his attorney

1451
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,520
Speaker 1: client privilege files, his executive privilege covered files, and cooperate

1452
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 1: if he was trying to obstruct, why didn't he just

1453
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 1: shut the investigation down. He could have just done that.

1454
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: It was in his power. There's just a lot of

1455
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 1: things about the obstruction narrative that are absurd when you

1456
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,280
Speaker 1: step back and you take a look at the big picture.

1457
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 1: I have given mind list of things that are coming,

1458
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: because this story is hardly over. While the collusion delusion

1459
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: media will remain focused on their phony narrative and never retract, apologize, correct,

1460
01:26:10,680 --> 01:26:12,719
Speaker 1: nor will they pay attention to what is the biggest

1461
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,840
Speaker 1: abuse of power in our country's history, and next week

1462
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 1: it is going to get dramatically worse for them, to

1463
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 1: the extent that it's possible. Can you give a preview? Sure, Listen.

1464
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: I got to talk about a couple of things that

1465
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 1: I think are going to become new points of discussion, investigation,

1466
01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:33,200
Speaker 1: and concern. One of those is when you read the

1467
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 1: entire Muller report, there is a theory that I think

1468
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:39,000
Speaker 1: I saw Devin Juniez first mentioned on your show a

1469
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, and that I've been hearing from intelligence

1470
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:45,120
Speaker 1: professionals career intelligence professionals for several weeks, and that is

1471
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 1: it is highly likely that these contacts like the Trump

1472
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 1: Tower and the former Russian intelligence agent that just happens

1473
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 1: to feed steal all of his bogus information that we

1474
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,479
Speaker 1: now know has been disproven in the Steel dossier. They

1475
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:01,880
Speaker 1: may have been, or they may have been what is

1476
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 1: known in the tradecraft is discoverable operations. So instead of

1477
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,599
Speaker 1: a secret effort by Russia to influence the election, they

1478
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,240
Speaker 1: used overt people. What do I mean by that? When

1479
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: you interview a former intelligence officer of Russian side the

1480
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 1: United States, everybody in the United States knows he's tied

1481
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 1: to Russian intelligence. That's not good spy tradecraft if you're

1482
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:23,880
Speaker 1: trying to keep it secret. When you want to keep

1483
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:25,759
Speaker 1: it secret, you do what you did with Robert Hanson

1484
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,960
Speaker 1: for twenty years, where Moscow us cloak and dather dagger

1485
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,680
Speaker 1: tactics to keep his work secret. As a spy, it

1486
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 1: was overt. The same thing. If you're going to set

1487
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:35,960
Speaker 1: up a secret meeting to coordinate with Donald Trump at

1488
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: the Trump Tower, would you really send a Russian lawyer

1489
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 1: who's in on the country only because she got a

1490
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 1: special parole visa declaring she's a Russian government asset to

1491
01:27:44,680 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 1: come into the United States. That would be the last

1492
01:27:46,920 --> 01:27:49,400
Speaker 1: person you would use for a secret campaign. So some

1493
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,759
Speaker 1: of these intelligence people are beginning to reassess the original

1494
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 1: idea that maybe this is all about helping Hillary lose

1495
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump win too. Maybe they were trying to

1496
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 1: destroy both candidates, and the effort on Trump is a

1497
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: very different type of intelligence effort. It's known as discoverable

1498
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: intelligence operations designed to create doubt in the mind of Americans.

1499
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,679
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, Robert Muller's report just helped

1500
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin extend the doubt outward for months more, we'll

1501
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,679
Speaker 1: be debating this just like Vladimir Putin on it, probably

1502
01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: when he sent that woman to the Trump Tower and

1503
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: sent that person to Christopher Steele to dump all that

1504
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:25,360
Speaker 1: bogus dust. I've got to take a break when we

1505
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,800
Speaker 1: come back. There is a likelihood this all started way

1506
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 1: before the official start date, based on Papadoppolo is having

1507
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:36,120
Speaker 1: a drink with Stefan Helper. Correct, that's correct? Right there

1508
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:37,920
Speaker 1: by that all right, I want to talk about that more,

1509
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:42,639
Speaker 1: John Solomon, And as we continue John Solomon, executive director

1510
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: at The Hill Investigative Reporter. He's been in the forefront

1511
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 1: of our ensemble cast exposing the deep state, which ninety

1512
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,920
Speaker 1: nine point nine percent of the media in this country

1513
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,640
Speaker 1: they just were selling you lies and conspiracy theories for

1514
01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 1: over two years. All right, So there's two things that

1515
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 1: you're working on. One is Ukraine officials are now admitting

1516
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: that they interfered in our twenty sixteen election, and they

1517
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:14,080
Speaker 1: want to give us the evidence they're willing, correct, Okay,

1518
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: and it's real evidence. And then we have on the

1519
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: other side of this, we are all beginning to believe

1520
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 1: that all of this Trump Rusher collusion stuff didn't start

1521
01:29:24,200 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 1: July thirty first of twenty sixteen, as we've been told

1522
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:31,640
Speaker 1: way before that maybe as far back as February or

1523
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:35,640
Speaker 1: March of that year. I think that's right, Sean, And

1524
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: next week I think I'll be able to get some

1525
01:29:37,439 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 1: new information out that will really enlighten the timeline. I

1526
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 1: think there's another element of it too. The Obama White

1527
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: House has been remarkably missing from the entire timeline, in

1528
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:50,240
Speaker 1: quite frankly, the entire discussion for the last two and

1529
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 1: a half years. But there's one text message over and

1530
01:29:53,080 --> 01:29:54,720
Speaker 1: over again that plays in my head, and that is

1531
01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: pietstro coming out of a meeting in August of twenty sixteen.

1532
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,480
Speaker 1: It was a multi agency coordination meeting on the Russian investigation,

1533
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: saying and the text message, quoting someone else in the meeting, says,

1534
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 1: the White House is running this. We've not figured out

1535
01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 1: what did that mean, and when did that start and

1536
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 1: who knew what. I believe we'll be able to show that.

1537
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:17,760
Speaker 1: In December twenty fifteen, a Justice Department official and an

1538
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: undercover operative began conversations with an eye towards Ukraine. In

1539
01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:27,240
Speaker 1: January February sixteen, Ukraine and US authorities had a very

1540
01:30:27,280 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 1: sensitive discussion about something that ultimately became the Paul Russia

1541
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:36,599
Speaker 1: collusion investigation. And by March and April the efforts had

1542
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:42,320
Speaker 1: expanded beyond White House Justice Department informant to the DNC,

1543
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:45,600
Speaker 1: the Hillary Clinton campaign, and all of these people have

1544
01:30:45,840 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: the same objective. We are going to try to show

1545
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 1: Paul Manafort and Donald Trump are agents of Russia. While

1546
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,920
Speaker 1: we found out yesterday donald Trump was never an agent

1547
01:30:54,960 --> 01:30:58,600
Speaker 1: of Russia, but who and why and how many people participated.

1548
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:00,840
Speaker 1: I think definitely next week we're gonna get a lot

1549
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 1: more on this, right, Yeah, that's right, right man, And

1550
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 1: for weeks to come. I think it's a long process

1551
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,799
Speaker 1: and we're going to hold them all accountable. We only

1552
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 1: just beginning, and I keep telling people that there's so

1553
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: much that is coming. It is going to blow the

1554
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:14,240
Speaker 1: country away, I think. But at the end of this,

1555
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: and if we don't fix it, we lose the country.

1556
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:19,880
Speaker 1: It's that serious. Great work. John Solomon once again
