WELCOME BACK. NEW REACTION TO REPORTS THAT THE
HUMAN INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS ARE
WARNING LAWMAKERS THAT RUSSIA IS
TRYING TO INTERFERE WITH THE
2020 ELECTION NOW TO HELP
REELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP AFTER
THE BERNIE SANDERS CAMPAIGN AS
WELL.
WELL. JOINING ME NOW, JOHN RADCLIFFE.
HE’S A FORMER PROSECUTOR
HIMSELF.
HIMSELF. IT’S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE
YOU.
YOU. THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
YOU WERE IN THAT MEETING LAST
WEEK ADAM SCHIFF BROUGHT UP THE
ISSUE OF RUSSIA MEDDLING.
CAN YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED?
ANYTHING ABOUT THIS INFORMATION?
>> YOU ARE ASKING ME ABOUT THE
DETAILS OF A CLASSIFIED BRIEFING
THAT WAS INTENDED TO REMAIN
SECRET, YOU’RE ASKING ME ABOUT
IT BECAUSE IT’S REPORTED ON BY
THE NEW YORK TIMES.
IT’S ALL TOO FAMILIAR.
WHEN THERE’S A STORY ABOUT THAT
IS ALLEGEDLY ANTI- TRUMP OR
NEGATIVE FOR THE PRESIDENT, IT
SHOWS UP IN NEWSPAPERS BECAUSE
DEMOCRATIC NUMBERS ARE STAFFERS
LEAK, THE PROBLEM IN THIS CASE,
THEY LEAK INFORMATION THAT’S NOT
ACCURATE.
ACCURATE. LET ME BE REAL CLEAR.
THE NARRATIVE OFTEN FROM
DEMOCRATS AND THE MEDIA
REPUBLICANS DON’T THINK THE
RUSSIANS HAVE MEDDLED IN OUR
ELECTION.
ELECTION. THEY DID.
THEY DID. THEY MEDDLED IN 2016, THEY ARE
GOING TO MEDDLE IN 2020.
THAT’S NOT THE ISSUE.
THE "ISSUE IS", WHY RUSSIA IS
BEING SO SUCCESSFUL IN SHAKING
AMERICA’S CONFIDENCE IN THE
INTEGRITY OF OUR ELECTION?
THE REASON IS BECAUSE DEMOCRATS
KEEP PERPETUATING AND
ACCENTUATING AND PROLIFERATING
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA.
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA. FOR THEIR POLITICAL GAIN IN
THEIR POLITICAL MOTIVATION
AGAINST DONALD TRUMP DEMOCRATS
CREATED THE DOSSIER PEDALED OR
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY.
COMMUNITY. THEY DID THAT SO THE DEMOCRATS
COULD FALSELY ACCUSE THE
PRESIDENT OF CONSPIRING WITH
RUSSIA FOR A BETTER PART OF
THREE YEARS NOW.
SOMETHING MUELLER THAT WASN’T
THE CASE.
THE CASE. IT WAS THE DEMOCRATS WHO PUT OUT
A MEMO SAYING EVERYTHING IS DONE
APPROPRIATELY AT THE FISA COURT
THERE WASN’T ILLEGAL
SURVEILLANCE.
SURVEILLANCE. ALL OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN
DONE BY DEMOCRATS REALLY, THEIR
POLITICAL GAIN BUT IT’S PROMOTED
PROMOTED, EVERYTHING THAT RUSSIA
TRIED TO ACCOMPLISH IN THE
DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN THEIR
BIGGEST ALLIES.
BIGGEST ALLIES. >> AT THE SAME TIME, ADAM SCHIFF
CONTINUES PEDDLING THIS STORY
AND YOU WERE THE ONLY TWO
REPUBLICANS TO SEE THE
UNREDACTED INFORMATION AROUND
THE FISA WARRANTS ON THE
DEMOCRATIC SIDE, ADAM SCHIFF.
THE SAME EXACT INFORMATION, YOU
CAME OUT OF THAT YOU CAME ON
MYSELF AND RAISED RED FLAGS
ABOUT THE PROCESS, ABOUT WHAT
WAS GOING ON, ADAM SCHIFF WENT
ON AND SAID THERE’S COLLUSION IN
PLAIN SIGHT.
PLAIN SIGHT. ALL AT THE SAME TIME, AS WE LOOK
AT OUR TIMELINE HERE, THE SAME
TIME THERE WERE ALL OF THESE
INFORMANTS THAT TRUMP CAMPAIGNS,
LIKE GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS BEING
INVITED BY ROME WHERE HE WAS
INTRODUCED TO JOSEPH WHO DROPPED
A BOUNCING RUSSIA HAS E-MAILS OF
HILLARY CLINTON FOLLOWED BY
PAPADOPOULOS 16.
PAPADOPOULOS 16. THIS WAS WAY BEFORE THE FBI’S
STATEMENT THAT THIS
INVESTIGATION INTO TRUMP
COLLUSION STARTED IN JULY 16.
THE QUESTION BECOMES, WHAT IS
ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY BEFORE JULY
OF 16?
OF 16? >> AS YOU POINTED OUT, ADAM
SCHIFF HAS BEEN AMONG THE WORST
OFFENDERS HERE.
OFFENDERS HERE. FALSELY ACCUSING THE PRESIDENT
OF CONSPIRING WITH RUSSIA, ADAM
SCHIFF IS THE ONE WHO AUTHORED
THE FISA REBUTTAL MEMO SAYING
EVERYTHING HAS BEEN DONE
APPROPRIATELY, AS YOU CORRECTLY
POINTED OUT, HE’S HAVING SAME
INFORMATION THAT WE SAW.
HE SAW THERE WAS EXCULPATORY
INFORMATION.
INFORMATION. I STILL DOSSIER WAS ESSENTIAL
AND ESSENTIAL.
AND ESSENTIAL. TO THE PFIZER APPLICATION.
HE WENT ON UNTIL THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE THE OPPOSITE IS NOW HE’S
AT IT AGAIN THROUGH HIS
COMMITTEE, INFORMATION THAT IS
FALSE.
FALSE. I’M NOT TRYING TO BE HYPERBOLIC
HERE BUT I DON’T KNOW ANYONE IN
THE LAST THREE YEARS HAVE DONE
MORE TO HELP VLADIMIR PUTIN AND
RUSSIA WITH THEIR EFFORTS TO
SOFA SEEDS OF DISCORD AND
AMERICAN ELECTION SECURITY THAN
ADAM SCHIFF HAS.
AS YOU SAY, THERE’S A LOT AT
STAKE HERE AND A LOT BEING
LOOKED AT WITH REGARD TO WHAT
HAPPENED FOR WHAT WE’VE BEEN
TOLD OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THE
RUSSIA INVESTIGATION BEGINNING
JULY 2016 WHEN THERE’S VERY
CLEARLY EVIDENCE OF ACTIVITY
BEFORE THOUGHT THAT INVOLVES LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY ASSETS AND THOSE ARE
THINGS I THINK JOHN AND BILL
BARR’S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ARE
LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW.
>> I KNOW THAT YOU’VE GOT IN THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, YOU’VE GOT
THIS MARKUP OF THE FISA,
REAUTHORIZATION AND THERE ARE
THREE SECTIONS YOU WILL BE
MARKING UP, SESSION TWO 15, THE
SECOND ONE IS WIRETAP PROVISION
AND THE THIRD IS THIS LONE WOLF
PROVISION.
PROVISION. WE ARTY KNOW TWO OUT OF THE FOUR
FOUR, A PAGE WERE ILLEGAL.
YOU THINK ALL FOUR ARE ILLEGAL?
>> I DO.
>> I DO. JOHN ON THE DAY THAT INSPECTOR
GENERAL CAME OUT WITH THIS
REPORT INDICATED THAT HE DIDN’T
THINK THERE WAS PROPER
PREDICATION OR MIGHT NOT HAVE
BEEN PROPER PREDICATION TO BEGIN
WITH THE VERY FIRST ONE.
WE KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THE FBI
DIRECTOR ADMITTED TO ME LAST
WEEK THAT AT LEAST TWO OF THE
FOUR WERE ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE.
I DON’T THINK THERE’S A COPPER
PREDICATE TO DO ANY OF THIS.
THINK ANY OF THIS WAS
APPROPRIATE.
APPROPRIATE. I THINK THAT’S WHAT JOHN IS
LOOKING OUT SPECIFICALLY.
THE CHALLENGE WITH THESE
PROVISIONS YOU TALKED ABOUT, WE
HAVE IMPORTANT U.S. SURVEILLANCE
LAWS THAT ARE COMING UP FOR
REAUTHORIZATION BUT THE BACKDROP
OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SEEMED
THERE WAS ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE
AGAINST CARTER PAGE, TERM
CAMPAIGN ASSOCIATE.
CAMPAIGN ASSOCIATE. OUR DEMOCRATIC COLLEAGUES ARE
WORKING AGAINST US BECAUSE THEY
DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE AS A DEMOCRATIC
ADMINISTRATION, DEMOCRATIC
ADMINISTRATION, DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN, ADAM JUST COMPLICIT
WITH RESPECT TO THAT ALLOWING OF
