PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF ALL THE
THINGS WE HAVE SEEN THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT DO THAT THE
WHISTLEBLOWERS ARE TELLING US
ABOUT.
SEAN: JOINING ME, A FORMER WHITE
HOUSE DIRECTOR OF STRATEGIC
COMMUNICATIONS.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
YOUR REACTION?
>> THE LARGER STORY IS THE
OVERALL ATTACK ON CONSERVATIVES,
BOTH FROM THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
SECTOR.
YOU HAVE 14 CURRENTLY SERVING
FBI AGENTS THAT HAVE COME
FORWARD TO SPEAK TO JIM JORDAN
WHILE WE ARE STILL IN THE
MINORITY IN THE HOUSE.
SO I’M INTERESTED IN SEE HOW
THIS WILL FLIP IN NOVEMBER WHEN
WE TAKE BACK THE HOUSE AND WE
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
BUT FOR NOW YOU HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT HOW IT’S IMPACTING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AT THE LARGER SCALE YOU HAVE
PARENTS BEING ATTACKED BY THE
WEAPONIZED FBI, GOING AFTER THEM
FOR SPEAK UP SAT SCHOOL BOARD
MEETINGS.
NOW YOU HAVE PEOPLE WITHIN THE
AGENCIES SAYING YES THIS IS
TRUE, AND WE ARE ALSO BEING
TARGETED.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT’S HAPPENING
TO DONALD TRUMP.
GOING AFTER HIM AT HIS HOME FOR
MONTH REASON.
GOOD ON THESE PEOPLE FOR SPEAKING OUT.
SPEAKING OUT.
I HOPE WE CAN GOAT BOTTOM -- CAN
BOTTOM OF IT.
SEAN: WHAT CAN CONGRESS DO IF IT
TAKES THE MAJORITY TO ROOT OUT
THE POLITICS WITHIN THE FBI AND
DOJ.
>> THEY NEED A TOP-DOWN
APPROACH.
THIS IS A PROBLEM WE HAVEN’T
SEEN BEFORE.
THIS ISN’T A PROBLEM WITH A
PARTICULAR PROGRAM.
THIS IS SYSTEMIC.
THE FBI HAS GONE TO THE
IDEALIZED NOTION AS A KID, THE
G-MEN AND WOMEN WHERE YOU CAN’T
TELL THEIR IDEOLOGY.
THERE IS NO PUBLIC TRUST.
I HAVE LIBERAL FRIENDS AGREE THE
DAMAGE BEING DONE TO THE
INSTITUTION IS TERRIBLE.
YOU HAVE TO EXAMINE THE WHOLE
THING AND THAT WILL TAKE A LOT
OF TIME, A LOT OF GRIT, AND IT
WILL BE ONE HELL OF A FIGHT.
SEAN: I SPEND A LOT OF TIME IN WASHINGTON.
I GUARANTEE THE FBI AND THE DOJ
WON’T COOPERATE UNLESS YOU
WITHHOLD MONEY.
THAT’S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM
TO COMPLY.
YOU MENTIONED WHAT’S HAPPENED AT
MAR-A-LAGO.
YOU TALKED ABOUT PARENTS WHO
WERE TARGETED BECAUSE THEY SPOKE
OUT AT A SCHOOL BOARD MEETING.
BUT YOU HAD THE RUSSIA COLLUSION
AND SCOTT PERRY’S CELL PHONE
TAKEN.
YOU HAD PETER NAVARRO PUT IN
SHACKLES.
MR. HOUCK FROM PENNSYLVANIA WAS
PROTESTING THER OUT IN FRONT OF
AN APPORTION CLINIC.
A PRO ABORTIONIST APPROACHED HIM
AND HIS 12-YEAR-OLD SON AND
BEGAN SAYING NASTY THINGS TO HIS
SON.
HE PUSHED HIM.
THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES DECIDE NOT
TO PROSECUTE.
BUT THE FBI CAME TO HIS HOUSE
WITH 20 AGENTS WITH GUNS POINT
AT HIS HEAD.
>> IT’S NOT JUST THIS ONE
INSTANCE.
THIS IS THE ONE WE KNOW ABOUT.
AND THIS IS THE DEMOCRATS’ YOU
FAVORITE TOPIC.
THAT’S HOW THEY THINK THEY WILL
KEEP THEIR HOUSE AND THEIR
SENATE.
BUT IT’S NOT THE REALITY OF THE
SITUATION.
I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON
HERE ARE THESE TARGETED
SITUATIONS THAT ARE OCCURRING
STRICTLY ON REPUBLICANS AND
CONSERVATIVES.
AND WHY?
IT’S CONCERNING.
AMERICANS AROUND THE COUNTRY
HAVE THEIR EYES WIDE OPEN.
THEY SEE CITY FOR WHAT IT IS.
THEY HAVE SEEN IT FOR SIX YEARS SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP THERE ARE,
SINCE PRESIDENT TRUMP THERE ARE,
THEN CANDIDATE TRUMP CAME DOWN
THE ESCALATOR AT TRUMP TOWERS.
SEAN: THIS CAN’T BE A ONE-OFF
AGENT ATTACKING CONSERVATIVES.
IT HAS TO GO TO THE TOP.
IT HAS TO BE MERRICK GARLAND
SAYING YES THIS WILL BE THE
STRATEGY OF THE DOJ AND FBI TO
TARGET CONSERVATIVES AS PUBLIC
ENEMY NUMBER ONE.
>> THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO READ
THIS.
IF YOU KNOW HOW THE SYSTEM
WORKS, THIS DOESN’T HAPPEN
UNLESS IT COMES FROM THE TOP.
THIS IS THE LEADERSHIP
COMPLETELY PERVERTING THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
THEY ARE DOING IT OPENLY NOW
BECAUSE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
COVERS FOR THEM AND THEY THINK
THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH IT.
EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO HOLD THEM
ACCOUNTABLE, THIS RESISTANCE.
YOU WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT
TARGETED RESTRICTIONS ON
APPROPRIATIONS AND THINGS WE
HAVEN’T SEEN IN A WHILE.
THEY HAVE A PLAYBOOK THAT WORKS
FOR THEM AND THEY WILL TRY TO
STICK TO IT.
SEAN: I HOPE REPUBLICANS PUSH
BACK AND FIGHT WITH EVERY TOOL
THEY HAVE. I THINK KEVIN McCARTHY AS
