but we begin tonight with the breaking
[1]
news in the Flynn case with Trey Gaudi
[3]
a former House Oversight Committee
[5]
chairman and now a Fox News contributor
[7]
Trey good evening good to have you with
[9]
us tonight yes ma'am
[11]
thank you so you have spoken and you and
[14]
I have spoken quite a bit about Adam
[16]
Schiff and his absolute confidence that
[19]
there was absolutely collusion between
[21]
the Trump campaign and Russians to to
[25]
throw the 2016 election or to impact the
[28]
2016 election so he is not that happy
[30]
about the revelations that have come
[32]
forward in these documents which I
[34]
should point out you saw much of these
[36]
documents a long time ago when you were
[38]
privy to a lot of these that we were not
[40]
but so Adam Schiff says today that what
[42]
happened today with Michael Flynn does
[44]
not exonerate him but it does
[46]
incriminate bill Barr who he calls the
[48]
worst political political ization of the
[50]
Justice Department in its history what
[53]
would you say to Adam Schiff about all
[54]
this tonight Trey I would tell Adam to
[58]
watch your show and go listen in
[59]
particular to the Jim Comey interview
[62]
where the head of the world's premiere
[64]
law enforcement agency is bragging about
[66]
what he wanted to get away with I would
[69]
tell him to go look at Peter struck and
[71]
all of those texts if that's the FBI
[73]
that Adam Schiff wants for this country
[75]
an FBI head that wants to see what he
[78]
can get away with that send an agent to
[80]
interview Michael Flynn because he
[82]
wanted to there was no criminal
[83]
investigation there was no
[84]
counterintelligence investigation it's
[87]
just an arrogant head of the FBI full of
[90]
hubris who wanted to send agents over to
[93]
mess with Michael Flynn today was a
[96]
great day for billboard it was a lousy
[98]
day for Jim Comey
[101]
so here's what Jim Comey speaking of the
[105]
former FBI director tweeted today after
[108]
this announcement
[109]
he says the DOJ has lost its way
[112]
but career people please stay because
[115]
America needs you the country is hungry
[117]
for honest competent leadership that was
[120]
his response sir what do you say I hope
[124]
he stays the hell in whatever wood sees
[126]
in on his Twitter profile more I mean
[128]
that the DOJ I mean look at his FBI
[131]
McCabe
[133]
struck komi baker page I mean which of
[137]
those is our country suffering from not
[139]
having in positions of power we need a
[142]
justice system that everyone has
[144]
confidence in well there's a three-star
[146]
general or a black jogger in Georgia we
[149]
need a justice system we have confidence
[151]
in Jim Comey I got the title for his
[154]
next book how my arrogance ruined the
[156]
reputation of the world's premier
[159]
law-enforcement agency
[160]
that's your next title it's long but the
[162]
book is long but that's the next book he
[164]
oughta write now what about about honor
[166]
and integrity how his own arrogance and
[169]
hubris wrecked the FBI all right you
[174]
know so with regard to Bill pre-snap who
[176]
was the counterintelligence officer at
[179]
the FBI or head of counterintelligence
[180]
who wrote those notes about you know do
[182]
we want to prosecute him do we want to
[184]
get him to lie too we want to get him
[185]
fired and then also Peter struck who
[188]
said do not close razor after they had
[190]
found that there was no derogatory
[191]
information which would have led in most
[193]
cases I think for the investigation to
[196]
be dropped so what happens to these
[197]
individuals now if if their comments
[200]
were what prompted the dropping of these
[202]
charges or at least were part of it well
[205]
I mean in terms of accountability I mean
[207]
I I'm not a civil 1983 expert but I
[211]
think Michael Flynn is going to have a
[213]
really tough time recouping everything
[216]
that is lost financial Amina the the the
[219]
justice system has so much power Martha
[221]
that's what just irritates the hell out
[223]
of me when I hear Comey the power we
[226]
give the Department of Justice to take
[228]
away your freedom your reputation your
[231]
resources and here we finally have a
[233]
prosecutor who does the right thing he's
[234]
not waiting on the court that throw out
[236]
the indictment he says I've looked at it
[238]
and I've done it and Jim Comey's learned
[240]
absolutely nothing you have a three-star
[242]
general who was set up because the
[244]
commis error against and Comey feels not
[246]
one bit of remorse over what it mean he
[249]
he wrecked the Clinton investigation he
[252]
botched it in the fall of 2016 when he
[255]
released that letter he he botched the
[258]
collusion he was wrong about that and
[260]
now he's wrong about Michael Flynn that
[262]
doesn't even get to the Horowitz reports
[263]
on him and that guy is going to lecture
[265]
us about who we need
[266]
Department of Justice so I want to show
[270]
you two more pieces of information
[272]
because now the transcripts from the
[275]
House Judiciary Committee interviews of
[278]
which there were many thousands of hours
[281]
of interviews during the course of this
[283]
Russian investigation these are two
[285]
quotes from the transcripts that come
[288]
from James clapper the DNI at the time
[290]
so I'm going to pull both of them up on
[292]
the screen back-to-back and read them to
[294]
you and then I want to get your thoughts
[295]
on this
[295]
during James clapper interview he said I
[297]
do think though that they thought and I
[300]
believe he's referring to the Russian
[301]
the Russians here I do think though that
[304]
they thought that President now
[306]
president Trump would be easier to deal
[308]
with he is a businessman he'd be more
[310]
willing to negotiate and make deals and
[312]
then in another section of James
[315]
clappers transcript he goes on to say
[317]
this we're gonna bring that one up in a
[326]
second but what do you think about that
[327]
one well I know what he said in the
[330]
second one too he had no evidence of
[331]
collusion I can tell you on the first
[333]
one on Russia it wasn't I'm sorry he
[336]
says one second trade he says I never
[338]
saw any direct empirical evidence that
[340]
the Trump campaign or someone in it was
[342]
plotting conspiring with the Russians to
[344]
meddle with the election I don't know
[345]
what else you need to see you need to
[346]
see in an investigation when the
[349]
director of our national intelligence
[350]
says what's on this screen right now go
[352]
ahead yeah I can tell you I was in that
[355]
room for a year with sois well and
[357]
Schiff it's the longest damn year of my
[359]
life every witness will say the exact
[362]
same thing I ask every one of them give
[364]
me all the evidence of collusion
[365]
coordination conspiracy you have with
[367]
anybody in the Trump campaign with
[369]
anybody in Russia and the answer was
[370]
none as for Russia and who they
[373]
preferred it wasn't Trump that gave them
[375]
that awkward reset button that was
[377]
Hillary Clinton it wasn't Trump who said
[379]
I'll have more flexibility in the second
[381]
term and it wasn't Trump remember when
[383]
everybody laughed MIT Romney said Russia
[385]
was our greatest threat and Barack Obama
[388]
said the 1970s wants his foreign policy
[391]
back and everybody thought that was
[392]
really funny so it wasn't the Romanians
[395]
who were under play Russia
[399]
what what it what a ride I mean what a
[402]
chapter and and so many lives disrupted
[405]
along the way but the shoe is on a very
[408]
different foot as we continue to get all
[410]
of this information out into the open
[413]
and I just urge everybody to just read
[415]
it and take a look at it and see what
[416]
what it says to you when you do that
[418]
trey gowdy always good to see you sir
[420]
thank you very much
[421]
yes ma'am yes ma'am
