Guess Who Was Hiding Behind Closed Doors Aiding & Abetting Obama Spying On Trump
welcome back to America's newsroom repeatedly yesterday the FBI director
answered this way to questions on the hill that's not a question I can answer
in this forum mr. chairman because it would call for a classified response I
have brief leadership of the intelligence committees on that
particular issue but I can't talk about it here to react to that I have to give
a classified answer and I can't give it sitting here I can't answer that here
that's not something I think I can comment on so there you have it what's
your question today well I've got a bunch and we're gonna do it in a
classified setting so we can ask all of them bill he is a foundational witness
that touches all tranches of Russia and masking and unmasking and the
dissemination of classified information he really is a foundational seminal
witness so I'm going to start at the beginning what is the evidence that
Russia attempted to interfere without 2016 democratic process we're gonna walk
through that is there any evidence to tie the Trump campaign to that and if
there is you need to tell us what it is and then we're going to get into the
masking and unmasking and the dissemination of classified information
we won't get it all done today make no mistake he is a foundational
seminal witness but today we'll get started
two hours ago President Trump tweeted the following Susan Rice the former
national security adviser to President Obama is refusing to testify before a
Senate subcommittee next week on allegations of unmasking Trump
transition officials not good he concludes she she has rejected the
invitation to appear publicly on Monday what do you make of her case Susan Rice
well there are a couple of things there she rejected an invitation there are
other ways to invite people other than via a letter there are things called
subpoenas you shouldn't have to use them will the former national security
adviser but if you do you do Susan Rice is also a very important witness it may
be that she concluded that public setting would not enable her to answer
the questions that the senators are going to have which is why we're going
behind closed doors today that's where most of these interviews ought to take
place given the subject matter but she's a really important witness and I'll say
this bill remember the Congress don't pick the
witness lawyers don't pick witnesses the facts
pick the witnesses and whether ambassador rice likes it or not she's a
really important fact witness well Democrats would argue James Comey
screwed up should have kept his mouth shut not gun public in late October are
they right I don't know what doors director Comey saw I can tell you this
he's not the reason I don't think he told Secretary Clinton to have her own
server I don't think he told her to give disingenuous answers to questions
throughout the campaign I don't think he told Anthony Weiner to communicate via
text with underage girls so I don't see how any of this is Jim Comey's fault
he's got a really tough job someone was gonna criticize him no matter what he
did he did what he thought was right but I reject the notion that Jim Comey is
the reason that we have president Trump Secretary Clinton at some point all to
do a little self-reflection and and go back and reflect on her own decisions
which led director Comey to have to make the call he did take you back to last
July Phoenix Arizona on the tarmac James Comey brought it up yesterday he
answered it this way the capper was I'm not picking on the the Attorney General
Loretta Lynch who I like very much but her meeting with President Clinton on
that airplane was the capper for me how does that change now in light of where
we are today on your investigation well it doesn't impact our biscuit we have a
new Attorney General Loretta Lynch is gone the decision to meet with the
spouse of the target of an ongoing criminal investigation
you know when your first year of law school not to do that so Loretta Lynch
is gonna have to explain her thought process there director Comey says that
was the straw that broke the camel's back I have no reason to contrary do you
think that was the original sin in all of this I don't know I I don't know what
the original sin was it was a very complicated fact pattern exacerbated by
the fact that we were the throes of a presidential election director Comey
felt the need to update Congress on this previous testimony and he thought this
was the way to do it but again bill who was responsible for the entire fact
patterning up to that decision not Jim Comey's fault that Loretta Lynch
met with Bill Clinton and it's not his fault that she had this curious email
arrangement with herself blaming the wars that means in every answer you're
given the original sin comes back to Hillary Clinton's server because had she
not set it up we would not be where we are today that's what you're saying
I'm reluctant to use theological terms like original sin but that decision to
have her own unique email arrangement with herself
and then keep it quiet for two years was a really bad decision sir thank you for
your time trey gowdy as a hill it's not over today that's what you say right how
much that's right well we're just starting today we've got the perhaps 100
witnesses we need to talk to and we're gonna get through two of them today
we're gonna do it the right way and however long it takes to be able to tell
your viewing audience what happened last year that's how long it'll take
thank you for being here justice denying Senate requests to interview two top
former FBI officials on the firing of former director James Comey citing the
ongoing investigation by the Special Counsel Robert Muller meanwhile the
White House calling out former director Comey yet again on the leaked memos
sarah huckabee sanders from yesterday when asked about it the memos that Comey
leaked were created on an FBI computer while he was the director he claims
there were private property but they clearly follow the protocol of an
official FBI document leaking FBI memos on a sensitive case regardless of
classification violates federal laws I think that's pretty clean and clear that
that would be a violation well South Carolina congressman trey Gowdy chairs
the House Oversight Committee my guest now and sir thank you for coming back
here yes sir she essentially says he broke the law did he well bill if it's
not clean and clear I'm sure she's referred it to the Department of Justice
after all president Trump hand-picked jeff Sessions to be as Attorney General
so if the evidence is as clear as the press secretary says it is I'm sure that
matter is already in Jeff Sessions office well with regard that she said in
quoting now the Department of Justice has to look at any allegation of whether
or not something's illegal or not that's not up for me to decide she's right
about that you know if she referred it or not I have no idea
this is what I dunno alleging criminal violations is very serious which is why
I don't do it press secretaries don't get to make that call members of
Congress don't get to make that call reporters don't get to make that call
that's an executive branch function after an investigation a charging
decision is made by a career prosecutor so if you have evidence of a crime
instead of sharing it with a gaggle of reporters share it with the people who
can actually do something about it that would be my advice okay she says the
more she learns the more her boss is vindicated do you see it that way I
think that there were reasons to replace James Comey as the FBI director I think
it took this administration a long time to settle on those reasons and some of
the reasons they cited initially weren't all that good I've had my differences
with Jim Comey he's gone now we have a new FBI director president Trump picked
a person that he wanted I'm very interested in talking to Jim Comey not
about how we left the MBI but about some other decisions he made while it was the
FBI directors such as AHA well if there's anything that's axiomatic and
investigations is that you don't make up your mind until you interview the last
witness it is beyond dispute that he made up his mind not to charge Secretary
Clinton before he interviewed her there's no question about that but what
my friends in the Senate have uncovered is he may well have made up his mind
before he interviewed the last dozen witnesses so how in the world my fellow
citizens can have confidence in an investigation where you reach the
conclusion before you even gathered all the facts and all the evidence is
stunning just one more thing on that there's a report that suggests he
started writing his report two months prior to announcing his decision so that
would not have been July of 2016 but rather May of 2016
does that square with the information you have it the Senate has information I
don't have I want to say that up front I do have information I'm just refer to it
as to drawing conclusions before you get too
the interviewee or the entire investigation itself right what I'm
saying is there sufficient factual basis to bring him in and ask him when did you
make up your mind that you were not going to charge Secretary Clinton I can
tell you because I've seen with my own eyes he made up his mind before he
interviewed her how far back whether it was two weeks or two months quite
frankly bill is immaterial to me he did it before he interviewed the last
witness okay another story here quickly Susan Rice
there's a report out there says that she apparently told house investigators
perhaps herself as well that the reason she asked for the unmasking of Trump
officials is because leaders from the UAE the United Arab Emirates were in the
US in December in that period between the election and inauguration period and
she believed that she needed to figure out why because the White House was not
notified were you there when she delivered that information is that
information accurate I was there I was one of the three members on our side
that was questioning ambassador Rice I don't want to get into the details and
for testimony but goes frankly it's it's not fair to highlight one part she was
there for two and a half hours so to highlight one point and exclude the rest
of them I will tell you this unmasking our our policy centric it's not a
question of whether or not that's a crime it is definitely a crime to
disseminate classified information and I was really clear and asking her about
that she stayed longer than she was supposed to stay and Bill I mean I've
been really tough on Susan Rice in the past I think it's important that when a
witness does a good job you tell people she did a good job in which she doesn't
do a good job good job she did a good job so her answers were satisfactory to
you then to say that they're satisfactory I have no reason to impeach
them or contradict them that there's a whole body of documents that I need to
know whether or not what she said is corroborated or contradicted I don't
usually just go based on what someone said particularly if their documents
that either refute it or corroborate it okay is this report true or not can you
answer that which which report to CNN the leaders in the US and
that's the reason why she did what she did true I can tell you it's not
inconsistent with her testimony whether or not that's true or not understood I
can't tell you but it's consistent what she said got it
