IT’S NATALIA >> AND SHE NOW UNDER INDICTMENT.
THANK YOU BOTH.
JOINING ME NOW JEREMY NADLER,
THE CHAIR OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE.
COMMITTEE. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THESE
REVELATIONS?
REVELATIONS? >> I LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY AND
IT SEEMS INDICATIVE.
I THINK THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN
ON THE PRESIDENT.
THE PROOF IS BEGINNING TO BE
ASSEMBLED OF A VAST CONSPIRACY
TO DEFRAUD THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT ASPECTS,
WHETHER IT’S THE HUSH MONEY FOR
THE WOMEN THAT PRESIDENT SEEMS
TO BE PERSONALLY INVOLVED IN OR
COLLUSION IN WHICH THEY’RE GIVEN
DATA WHICH THE PEOPLE GAVE TO
THEM KNEW HAD NO VALUE OTHER
THAN TO HELP THEM MICROTARGET
SOCIAL MEDIA, ILLEGAL SOCIAL
MEDIA INTERVENTIONS IN THE
AMERICAN ELECTION AND OF KORGS
THE TRUMP TOWER MEETING RELATING
TO THE HACKS FROM THE DNC.
THIS IS WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT
TO PROTECT THE MUELLER
INVESTIGATION AND TO MAKE SURE
THAT REPORT THAT MAY OR MAY NOT
BE COMING OUT SOON BECOMES
PUBLIC AND IS NOT POCKETED BY
MR.
MR. WHITAKER OR BARR.
IT’S ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT REPORT IS
PUBLIC SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
KNOW THE RESULTS OF THE
INVESTIGATION AND WE HAVE WORK
TO DO ALSO.
WE NOW HAVE ENOUGH LEADS TO DO
OUR OWN INVESTIGATION ON SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT MUELLER
PLAUBABLY KNOWS ALREADY BUT
HASN’T SAID.
HASN’T SAID. >> THIS IS SOMETHING I’VE BEEN
ASKING A LOT OF FOLKS.
THE REGULATIONS DON’T REQUIRE IT
BE MADE PUBLIC.
DO YOU HAVE THAT POWER AS THE
COMMITTEE CHAIR TO DO SO?
>> WELL, THE COMMITTEE CERTAINLY
HAS IT THE POWER TO SUBPOENA THE
REPORT AND IF NECESSARY, WE HAVE
THE POWER TO INVITE FORMER
PROSECUTOR MUELLER TO TESTIFY IN
FRONT OF THE COMMITTEE AND ASK
HIM ABOUT IT.
>> YOU’RE SAYING ONCE HE TWUR
FINISH, IF THE EXECUTIVE
ATTEMPTED TO KEEP IT UNDER
WRAPS, THOSE ARE TWO AVENUES YOU
HAVE THE POWER TO PURSUE?
>> THAT’S EXACTLY RIGHT.
>> THERE’S REPORTING ABOUT STEVE
MNUCHIN, PARTICULARLY AS RELATES
TO THE DECISION TO WALK BACK
SANCTIONS ON THE MAN AT THE
CENTER OF ALL OF THIS AND HE HAS
GREED TO GIVE A CLASSIFIED
GROOEP BRIEFING TOMORROW.
IS THAT CORRECT?
AND WHAT’S THE NATURE OF THAT?
>> I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE NATURE
IS.
IS. IT’S A CLASSIFIED BRIEFING TO
ALL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE.
AS TO WHY HE’S PROPOSING TO
REMOVE THE SANCTIONS.
THEY WERE IMPOSED ON DARE
PAUSKAU AND OTHER RUSSIAN
OLIGARCHS CLOSE TO PUTIN BECAUSE
OF THE INVASION OF CRIMEA AND
INVASION OF UKRAIN AND OF COURSE
WE KNOW FROM EVERYTHING YOU’VE
DAUKD
DAUKD TALKED ABOUT, THE TESTIMONY
ABOUT THE TRUMP TOWER MEETING
THAT THE CHIEF QUID PRO QUO FOR
ALL OF THE HELP FROM THE
RUSSIANS IS THE LIFTING OF
SANCTIONS.
SANCTIONS. THEY WANTED TO DO THAT FROM DAY
ONE AND NOW THE PRESIDENT OF
COURSE TRIES TO DELAY THE
IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS VOTED
AND CONGRESS FORCED TO IMPOSE
THEM AND NOW HE’S TRYING TO LIFT
SANCTIONS WITHOUT THE RUSSIANS
DOING ANYTHING TO REMOVE FROM
CRIMEAOR STOPPING AGGRESSIONS ON
UKRAIN.
UKRAIN. SO WHY YOU WOULD THRIFTLIFT THE
SANCTIONS, EXCEPT FOR A QUID PRO
QUO, I WOULDN’T KNOW
>> AND THE TREASURY SECRETARY
PERHAPS WILL SPEAK TO THAT
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW. >>> AND A BEEFED-UP LEGAL TEAM
INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AND THEIR
STRATEGY TO AGGRESSIVELY ASSERT
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE IN MATTERS
HAVING TO DO WITH THE
INVESTIGATION OF ROBERT MUELLER.
IS YOUR COMMITTEE PREPARED FOR
WHAT COULD BE HIGH STAKES LEGAL
BATTLES BETWEEN THESE TWO
BRANCHS OF GOVERNMENT?
>> OUR COMMITTEE STAFF AND THE
HOUSE COUNSEL JUST HIRED LAST
WEEK ARE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER
LEGAL BATTLES MAY BE NECESSARY
AND RICHARD NIXON TRIED TO EXERT
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. THERE IS NO REASONABLE CASE FOR
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE.
EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE. IT’S
IT’S IT’SALL PIERCED BY ANY
REASONABLE NECESSITY IN A
CRIMINAL OR -- INVESTIGATION.
