CHAIRMAN TREY GOWDY WHO WAS
FIGHTING TO GET HIS HANDS ON
THOSE MEMOS AND RELEASE THEM.
YOU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET
THESE MEMOS, AS WE HAVE SAID AND
THE LETTER THAT ROB ROSENSTEIN
BROUGHT BACK TO YOU ABOUT WHY HE
CAN'T TURN THEM OVER QUITE YET
IS HERE.
LET'S PUT IT UP ON THE SCREEN
FOR FOLKS AT HOME TO SEE.
HE SAID ONE OR MORE OF THE
MEMOS, HE'S REFERRING TO THE
LETTERS THAT JAMES COMEY WROTE,
IT MAY BE RELATED TO AN ONGOING
INVESTIGATION.
THEY MAY CONTAIN CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION AND MAY REPORT
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT
GIVEN THE FACT THAT JAMES COMEY
SAID THERE WAS NOTHING
CLASSIFIED IN THOSE MEMOS?
>> I WISH YOU SURE THAT ADVICE
WITH JIM COMEY BEFORE HE WENT ON
NATIONAL TELEVISION AND RECALLED
EVERY CONVERSATION HE'S EVER HAD
WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I DON'T WANT THE DRAMA, I WANT
THE DOCUMENTS.
I READ THEM MONTHS AGO WHICH IS
WHY I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT YOU GET TO SEE
THEM AND YOUR VIEWERS GET TO SEE
THEM.
COMEY IS TALKING ABOUT THEM.
HE INCLUDED IT IN HIS SENATE
TESTIMONY.
EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW WHAT
EXACTLY HE MEMORIALIZED AFTER
HIS CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
PRESIDENT.
>> Martha: YOU ARE ONE OF THE
FEW PEOPLE WHO IS ACTUALLY READ
THESE MEMOS.
IS THERE ANYTHING CLASSIFIED AND
THEY ARE?
IS THERE ANYTHING TOP-SECRET IN
THERE?
>> HOW I CAN THINK OF TWO
SENTENCES IN ALL THE MEMOS I
READ THAT WOULD BE A PROPERLY
REDACTED.
HAVING SAID THAT, THE DOJ CAN
REDACT WHATEVER THEY WANT.
IF THEY THINK IT'S PART OF AN
ONGOING PROBE THAT SOMEHOW IS
CLASSIFIED, WHAT I MOST TOASTER
SAID IN WHICH IS WHAT COMEY IS
TALKING ABOUT, THERE'S NO NEED
FOR TO BE CLASSIFIED.
COMEY IS TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT
THAT'S NOT FAIR TO YOUR VIEWERS
DO AN INFORMAL INTERVIEW, A LOT
MORE FLEXIBILITY THERE.
THERE ARE STILL REQUIRED TO TELL
THE TRUTH.
>> Martha: YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> HE IS RIGHT, YOU CAN TO LIE,
WOULD BECOME AS INTERESTING
LEGAL COUNSEL TO ALL OF THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HAULED IN
FRONT OF GRAND JURY'S OF THE FBI
PREFERS TO DO IT ANOTHER WAY.
>> Martha: A MORE FLEXIBLE
VENUE THAN WHAT HILLARY CLINTON
GOT.
>> THEY WOULD LOVE TO HAVE
SHERYL MILLS AND ALL THE OTHER
POTENTIAL WITNESSES SITTING IN
THERE WHILE YOU'RE BEING
INTERVIEWED.
I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT BEFORE,
SO WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT
FLEXIBILITY, I THINK THE RIGHT
WORD IS UNPRECEDENTED.
>> Martha: I WOULD LOVE FOR
HIM TO BE PRESSED ON THE
QUESTION OF WHAT EXACTLY HE
MEANS BY FLEXIBILITY AND WHY IT
WOULD GET THE FBI TO THEIR ENDS
OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT
THERE IS ANY WRONGDOING IN THAT
CASE.
I WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO
SOMETHING ELSE THAT CAME OUT ON
FRIDAY AND THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT WITH
REGARD TO ANDREW McCABE AND IT
GOES TO THE QUESTION OF WHETHER
OR NOT JAMES COMEY IS IN ANY
SORT OF TROUBLE FOR LEAKING TO
HIS REPORTER FRIEND, WHICH HE
MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION
HERE AND HERE IS WHAT IT SAYS IN
THE REPORT WITH REGARDS TO
ANDREW McCABE.
COMEY WOULD HAVE EVERY INCENTIVE
TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM THIS
DISCLOSURE.
IT GOES ON TO SAY IT DO
McCABE'S BELIEF THAT THE OIG,
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL IS
REVIEWING COMEY'S DISCLOSURE OF
OTHER INFORMATION TO THE MEDIA,
SO ANDREW McCABE APPARENTLY IS
UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT COMEY
IS PART OF THE INVESTIGATION.
>> I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF HE
WERE, MICHAEL HOROWITZ IS
LOOKING AT ALL OF WHAT HAPPENED
IN 2016 AND THERE WERE LOTS OF
LEAKS.
COMEY GAVE ONE OF HIS MEMOS TO A
LAW PROFESSOR.
I THINK HORWITZ IS LOOKING AT
EVERYTHING AND ANYONE AT THE
BUREAU WHO MADE AN UNAUTHORIZED
LEAK SHOULD TAKE NOTE OF WHAT
HAPPENED TO ANDY McCABE.
>> Martha: IS A POTENTIALLY
PERILOUS FOR JAMES COMEY WHO AS
YOU POINTED OUT IS TELLING HIS
STORY, ABOUT 11 INTERVIEWS
COMING UP.
>> WHAT'S MOST PERILOUS AS HE'S
WRITTEN A BOOK ABOUT MORALITY
AND ETHICS IN TRUTH.
THIS IS SOMEONE WHO'S UNFIT FOR
OFFICE, BASED PART OF THE FACT
THAT HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER
SUPPORT OF THE OTHER CANDIDATE
WHO ALSO HAS TROUBLE WITH THE
TRUTH AND WHEN IT COMES TO ANDY
McCABE, HE IS A VICTIM.
ALL THREE ENGAGE IN THE SAME
CONDUCT.
ONCE UNFIT TO BE PRESIDENT COME
OUT WHEN HE HOPES IS THE
PRESIDENT AND THE OTHER HIS
FRIEND AND A VICTIM.
THAT'S RELATIVISM.
>> Martha: IT'S CLEAR IT'S
CLAIRE McCASKILL THAT WHOLE OF
HIS DECISIONS WERE MADE WITH THE
ASSUMPTION THAT HILLARY WOULD
WIN AND HE FRAMED HIS DECISION
AND THAT PATTERN WHICH I CAN'T
UNDERSTAND WHY THAT WAS RELEVANT
TO ANY OF THE WORK HE WOULD HAVE
BEEN DOING AND IT BEGS THE
QUESTION HOW WOULD HE HAVE DONE
THINGS TO REALLY IFFY ABOUT THE
OTHER OUTCOME OF PRESIDENT TRUMP
WOULD BE THE CASE, NONE OF WHICH
SHOULD HAVE ANY BEARING ON WHAT
HE'S DOING.
I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT A MEMO
THAT MARK MEADOWS SENT TO YOU
ASKING TO CLARIFY WHETHER OR NOT
SOME OF THE NEWER REVELATIONS IN
THESE STRZOK-PAGE TEXT MESSAGES
.2 AND A GREATER COORDINATION TO
WHAT HAS BEEN ADMITTED BETWEEN
THE FBI IN THE DOJ ON WHAT THEY
WERE GOING TO FIND WITH REGARD
TO HILLARY CLINTON.
>> MARK HAS DONE GREAT WORK AND
SO HAS DONE A RADCLIFFE AND
OTHERS.
I'VE READ MARK'S LETTER, HE
SHARED IT WITH ME BEFORE IT WENT
PUBLIC, WHICH I APPRECIATE HIM
DOING.
I'M GOING TO SEND IT TO THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF THE FBI TO THE
EXTENT THAT THERE IS AN
ALLEGATION.
I THINK IT FITS MOST LATELY WITH
WHAT HORWITZ IS DOING NOW WHICH
IS HOW UNPRECEDENTED THIS
