Channel: unknown
[0]
so I did speak with trey gowdy about
[1]
Flynn and about Cohen and more watch
[6]
purity advisor to the president it has
[9]
now been revealed by him that when he
[12]
was interviewed by the FBI who wanted to
[15]
know whether or not he was involved in
[17]
any sort of collusion during the
[19]
campaign or the transition with Russian
[21]
officials to influence the u.s.
[23]
elections he says that Andrew McCabe
[26]
advised him that he did not need an
[28]
attorney present during that interview
[31]
and as we know what he is going to be
[33]
sentenced for is lying to the FBI in
[37]
that meeting what do you make of that
[39]
a stunning departure from the way they
[42]
handled another investigation called
[44]
mid-year examination with Secretary
[47]
Clinton they had multiple lawyers who
[50]
were also fact witnesses in the room
[52]
there there are allegations that they
[55]
supplied the questions to witnesses
[57]
ahead of time and there's the clear
[60]
insinuation that certain witnesses
[62]
didn't misrepresent material facts to
[65]
the investigators but no one was charged
[67]
with making a false statement if you
[69]
look at the Russia investigation Flynn
[71]
Papadopoulos Cohen I mean I'm not
[74]
minimizing lying to the FBI I mean I
[76]
prosecuted people for two but if that's
[80]
all you have it's serious but it
[82]
suggests that there's no other larger
[85]
crime no one in the Clinton
[87]
investigation was prosecuted for making
[89]
false statements and I just named three
[91]
for him to be told you don't need a
[94]
lawyer present and for them to allow her
[97]
to have fact witnesses who were lawyers
[99]
present is a stunning dichotomy that
[103]
does not reflect well on the Department
[104]
of Justice Michael Cohen sentenced to
[107]
three years what do you make of that
[110]
it's about right now it was the low end
[112]
of the guidelines he provided
[114]
information but the southern district
[116]
did not view him as a cooperator
[117]
but again mark this the same fact
[119]
pattern Michael Cohen
[122]
the folks who thought he was a liar the
[124]
day before he pled guilty and then they
[125]
think he's the most important witness in
[127]
the world the day after he pleads guilty
[129]
I'm just tell you what jury's not going
[130]
to believe someone like Michael Cohen so
[132]
if your case
[133]
hinges upon the credibility of Michael :
[136]
good luck so it sounds like when you
[139]
look at these sentencing memos that came
[141]
out on Friday and the new information
[143]
that we have today with regard to
[145]
Michael Flynn and Michael Cohen what's
[148]
your overall impression of the Moller
[151]
investigation and how it's going for
[153]
robert muller well i go back to what we
[156]
asked him to do which is find out what
[158]
Russia did and until he writes that
[161]
report that definitive report
[163]
unfortunately for him no one is
[165]
interested in that part of his report
[166]
except maybe a handful of us they're all
[169]
on this breathless indictment watch I
[171]
mean it is stunning that people are
[175]
reading under black redacted lines
[177]
hoping that there is something that
[179]
implicates the president United States
[181]
so they've lost interest in what Russia
[183]
did that was what he was asked to do and
[185]
then the throwaway line was oh by the
[188]
way if there's criminality we want to
[189]
know about that too I'm really
[191]
interested in what Russia did in 2016
[193]
I'm also interested in the criminality
[195]
but what I've seen so far our false
[198]
statements bank fraud and Comey admitted
[202]
last Friday collusions not a crime no
[204]
matter how badly CNN and the Democrats
[206]
want it to be collusions not a crime you
[210]
heard from James Comey last week and
[214]
then he will be back on December 17th
[216]
when he came out he was very upset that
[218]
that was not an open forum and when he
[220]
came out and talked to reporters he said
[222]
that he said there's no reason why this
[224]
shouldn't have been an open forum he
[226]
also said that the suggestion that there
[228]
was FISA abuse in the initial stages of
[231]
the investigation into the Trump
[234]
campaign and any connection to Russia
[236]
was ridiculous absurd I think is the
[238]
word that he used you know Martha I was
[244]
disappointed in what he didn't remember
[246]
but I was much more disappointed and
[248]
what he never knew the head of the FBI
[250]
has the campaign for presidential
[253]
candidate under investigation he never
[256]
read the initiation document didn't know
[257]
that Peter struck had signed it still to
[260]
this day doesn't know that it makes
[261]
reference to the Trump campaign he just
[263]
thinks it's for individuals doesn't know
[265]
who Christopher steal the
[266]
doesn't know much about Bruce or knows
[269]
nothing about efforts to either
[271]
corroborate or contradict the dossier
[273]
doesn't agree that there's a duty to
[276]
produce exculpatory information you know
[278]
I asked him when did you learn that the
[279]
DNC was funding the Oppo research into
[283]
Trumbo I don't know as if it doesn't
[285]
matter well if you know and you're not
[287]
telling a judge I mean don't you think
[288]
it's relevant hey my political enemies
[291]
are responsible for everything I'm
[293]
giving you or 1/3 of what I'm getting
[295]
you giving you a judge wants to know
[297]
that so Comey is one of the best I've
[300]
ever seen at always being right in his
[302]
mind and it doesn't matter if he's a
[305]
universe of one when you write a book
[308]
about ethics and morality that in and of
[311]
itself is a fairly high opinion of
[315]
yourself thing to do
[316]
Comey just thinks he's always right and
[319]
it doesn't matter Horowitz thinks he's
[320]
wrong and it doesn't matter if everyone
[322]
else concludes he did wrong he knows
[325]
better so that's what it's like to to
[328]
interview an amnesiac with incredible
[330]
hubris do you believe that he functioned
[334]
as a political FBI director um I think
[339]
Jim Comey was primarily motivated by a
[342]
desire to protect the brand of Jim Comey
[344]
I defended him a lot in 2016 even when
[349]
it was lonely to do so I would still
[353]
defending today if I thought he was
[355]
making right decisions but he's been so
[359]
overtly partisan since he left not just
[362]
president but he wants people to vote
[364]
Democrat he was a Democrat house he's
[367]
just become a political flunky and it's
[369]
the same guy in this very room that URI
[371]
in right now said the FBI doesn't give a
[373]
hoot about politics and yet Peter struck
[377]
and Lisa Paige and Baker and the cabe
[379]
that's who was running these two major
[381]
investigations and he wants us to
[383]
believe they don't care about politics
[385]
go read the text for yourself go read
[387]
Combes Twitter feed and see whether or
[389]
not he cares about politics what do you
[391]
think about President Trump you met him
[393]
for the first time smile this week
[395]
yesterday yes ma'am
[399]
number one appreciate him letting me
[401]
come I want to advocate for John
[402]
Ratcliffe for AG and he'd already made
[404]
the AG pick but he was kind enough to
[406]
let me come anyway wide-ranging
[409]
conversation from from life in Cavanaugh
[414]
the opinion just came out yesterday not
[416]
the opinion but the denial of cert Golf
[419]
What did he say about that well you
[422]
asked my opinion which which he did that
[425]
a lot he said what do you think about it
[426]
and my sense is that Roberts and
[430]
Cavanaugh did not think those were the
[432]
right facts to have another hearing on
[435]
an abortion related case and we Morphin
[439]
in my time as a prosecutor actually had
[441]
a victim become pregnant as a result of
[444]
a rape so we talked about exceptions and
[446]
whether or not I believe in them we
[449]
talked about chief of staff we talked
[451]
about AG he got Lindsey on the phone at
[454]
one point so we could talk about it was
[456]
a facet have a chief of staff in mind
[459]
that he seemed to be leaning towards if
[461]
he did he didn't share it with me as you
[463]
leave this position and we see the new
[466]
Congress coming in a majority of
[468]
Democrats on the house side what do you
[471]
expect they will pursue in terms of
[474]
oversight given the landscape right now
[476]
everything everything that their base
[480]
wants them to pursue everything that is
[483]
calculated to disrupt the last two years
[486]
of the Trump of this tenure and office
[490]
and it's it's they may be smart enough
[496]
not to pursue impeachment although some
[498]
of them are not I mean 60 of them have
[499]
already said he should be impeached and
[501]
Waller hadn't issued a single finding
[503]
yet so it will be very very difficult
[506]
for this administration and they're
[508]
gonna have to decide how they're going
[510]
to handle subpoenas and requests for
[512]
information
[512]
it will be bitterly ironic for me to
[516]
listen to Democrats
[519]
clamor for the administration to be
[521]
responsive when they didn't say a word
[522]
for the six years we were trying to get
[525]
information from with the Obama
[526]
administration what did you think of
[528]
that
[529]
seen in the Oval Office yesterday when
[531]
President Trump was talking about how he
[533]
wants to build the wall he said I'd be
[534]
proud to shut down the government over
[536]
the issue of border security it means
[538]
that much to me and Nancy Pelosi and and
[541]
Chuck Schumer very much wanted to take
[543]
that conversation private didn't want to
[545]
debate it in front of the public for
[547]
people who like transparency there it is
[550]
at first I wasn't sure if I was watching
[553]
Fox or watching professional wrestling
[556]
it was I've never seen I've been around
[559]
a long time I've seen those
[560]
conversations back in judge's chambers
[562]
I've seen them where you know there are
[564]
no cameras I've never seen it like that
[568]
and it was clear to me that leader
[571]
Pelosi did not want to have that
[572]
conversation in public but I if you're
[576]
interested in a framing of the issues
[578]
the President believes that the wall is
[581]
inextricably intertwined to border
[583]
security and the Democrats are trying to
[585]
convince you that they believe in border
[588]
security but not a wall what I would
[591]
love for the president to bash yesterday
[593]
is at one point you voted for the wall
[596]
what changed why was it a good idea five
[599]
years ago but now it is xenophobic and
[601]
racist and not reflective of our values
[605]
what other than the fact that I
[606]
championed the idea what has changed do
[609]
you think it was a political mistake for
[611]
him to say that I'll own that shutdown
[613]
that's you know if that's what you want
[615]
I'm happy to own it I think they were
[618]
gonna I think there's a pretty good
[619]
chance they were going to call it the
[620]
Trump shutdown no matter what he said
[622]
now Republicans also need to come up
[625]
with a response that you haven't spent
[626]
the money we've given you already that
[629]
that's a pretty good counter talking
[630]
point we gave you one point six what
[633]
have you done with that so it's gonna I
[636]
don't I say I don't think there's gonna
[638]
be a shutdown I didn't think there was
[640]
gonna be one I'm not sure right now
[643]
nobody else we'll see what happens
