Speed to
less than two hours, deputy FBI
director Andrew Mccabe said to
testify behind closed doors with
the house intelligence
committee.
They are expected to ask the FBI
number two person about a lot,
including strzok, the doj
official booted off Robert
Mueller's investigation several
months ago.
Strzok had sent anti-Trump text
messages to a mistress come FBI
lawyer, Lisa page.
One of those text messages says,
I want to believe the path for
consideration in Andy's office.
We believe that is Andrew
Mccabe.
There is no way he gets elected.
I am afraid, we cannot take that
risk.
It is like an insurance policy
in the unlikely event you die
before your 40.
Congressman trey Gowdy will be
among those leading the question
today.
He wants to get underneath that
message with some other things.
>> Mccabe crosses every facet
and 2015 that your views from
secretary Clinton's email to
the investigation into the trump
campaign.
He is the deputy director of the
FBI.
There are a ton of questions
including the one you made
reference to, the meeting
between agent strzok and Lisa
page in Andy's office.
We need to make sure that was
Andy Mccabe, and if they were
coming up with insurance policy
and the case Donald Trump won,
that's devastating.
>> Harris: Senate judiciary
committee chuck grassley says,
is not the FBI to replace enter
Mccabe.
We have to get to the bottom of
whether Andy was Andy Mccabe
and what else you want to know?
>> Kevin: I think they will
say, what was his intent, right?
That is exactly what former FBI
director James Comey said when
he was letting Hillary Clinton
off the hook.
And his tent whether it was an
assassination attempt or
whether, deafly something --
I am just saying, we do not know
what it was.
When you say, we need to make
sure this guy doesn't get in at
all because, what does that
mean?
I am saying, there is a spectrum
of what does it mean, but one
thing we know for sure, he was
plotting in an election against
a candidate, and there is FBI
finger prints all over this.
>> Harris: Because I know how
things get clipped on social
media, I want to make sure we
pushed on the fact, nobody
floated an idea --
>> Kevin: I'm talking about
social media stuff it has been
floated in.
>> Marie: Nothing credible.
>> Kevin: Yet.
>> Katie: The bigger question,
what comes out asking Mccabe
question.
What will be learned.
I am glad that it is a closed
conversation, because I think
everybody then you can take
politics out of it a little bit.
Not entirely, but when there is
not TV cameras there, they can
have a conversation about all of
these different issues.
There's been a lot of
accusations and allegations
against the FBI.
We talked about a lot of them
here.
There's so many people that work
there, including these
investigations who are career
officers, respected, served both
parties, no matter who is in the
white house.
That needs to remain at the core
of how we see the FBI, and Andy
Mccabe will answer questions
without the cameras there, which
makes it a little more
political.
>> Sandra: Deftly a
fanfare.
When they get
there >> Katie: There's a lot
of questions he will have to
answer.
Where the in your office
discussing the insurance policy
print where they there.
If they were there, why were you
allowing them to use federal
government tax funded office to
discuss going after a political
candidate they did not like?
What was done after that
meeting.
It was a follow-up meeting?
To discuss the insurance policy,
and where you engaging them on
this policy and what is your
connections to the Clinton
foundation considering your wife
has deep connections to a friend
of the Clinton took money from
them in the Virginia race?
It becomes complicated.
The one thing they will want
answered is, what was the plan
to carry out, the insurance
policy, was connected to the
Russian investigation?
>> Sandra: More broadly, he
has to defend that there was a
political bias, anti-Trump bias
inside of the FBI while it was
ongoing.
Marie, I would put you on the
spot.
Do you think that there is?
>> Marie: I do not.
There's a lot of FBI officers
and people working on the
investigations that probably
voted for Donald Trump and are
Republican.
Some of them clearly didn't.
We have seen no evidence yet
that however people politically
felt on their personal level
that that impacted anything --
wait, wait, wait let me finish.
The FBI officials can have
personal opinions.
We need -- the question is open.
There is no evidence showing.
>> Kevin: That is absolutely
ridiculous.
>> Harris: Do not let your
opinion called the way you do
your job.
With a long list of things that
Katie asked, Mr. Mccabe, did
you know about those text
messages among your employees?
Where you onboard or or not on
board considering --
>> Sandra: This played
out in text messages off duties,
between the two federal agents.
Unofficial phones.
>> Marie: They had the meeting
and FBI headquarters, and as a
question.
Why are you using the power of
the FBI to go after a political
rival?
>> Kevin: I want to say, the
FBI, the grassroots level, the
general level, these are people
that want to do the right thing.
At the top, we have seen
corruption.
End of story.
There is no question about that.
Whether it is Mccabe or the
stomach the other players.
The general public knows this,
and the bottom line, somebody
has to answer for this.
We are not imputing the
empowerment.
>> Harris: It is behind closed
