LOU?
LOU: THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
CATHERINE HERRIDGE REPORTING.
JOINING US TO TAKE UP THE REEVE
LUGES THAT THE
REGES THAT THE
REVES THAT THE
REVELATHAT THE
REVELATIAT THE
REVELATION THE
REVELATION THAT HE SHARED THE
DOSSIER WITH ANDREW WISEMAN AND
OTHERS.
AT THE TIME WISEMAN WAS THE HEAD
OF THE FRAUD SELECTION, NOW A
SENIOR MEMBER OF THE SPECIAL
COUNSEL OFFICE OR WITCH HUNT IF
YOU PREFER.
VICTORIA TOENSING AND JO
DIGENOVA, FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA,
FOUNDING PARTNER OF THE FIRM
DIGENOVA AND TOENSING.
WE SORT OF HAD AN INDICATION OF
THIS THROUGHOUT.
BUT THIS REVELATION NOW IS
RAISING ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS.
ONE IS IT SEEMS DESIGNED IN
PART, AT LEAST TO ME, TO MAKE
OHR LOOK BETTER BUT IT IS
CERTAINLY DAMNING TO THE TOP
OFFICIALS OF THE FBI.
LET'S BEGIN WITH YOU, VICTORIA.
>> HE ONLY LOOKED SLIGHTLY
BETTER BECAUSE I THINK HE'S
PROTECTING SALLY YATES.
HE WAS SALLY YATES' DEPUTY AND
YET HE CLAIMS HE NEVER SAID THIS
TO SALLY YATES.
THIS NEEDS TO GO TO A GRAND JURY
WHERE BRUCE OHR AND SALLY YATES
ARE BROUGHT IN TO SAY WHETHER HE
TOLD HER OR NOT.
AND THEN FOR US WHO KNOW THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, IT'S ODD --
JOHN SOLOMON IS SUCH A GOOD
REPORTER.
HIS FACTS ARE ACCURATE.
LOU: JOHN SOLOMON REPORTING FOR
THE HILL.
>> THIS IS HIS STORY.
I WAS DEPUTY ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
I DID NOT BRIEF SECTION CHIEFS
AND LINE ATTORNEYS.
THEY ARE NOT SENIOR JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS.
THOSE KINDS OF PEOPLE BRIEFED
ME.
WHY IS OHR BRIEFING PEOPLE LOWER
ON THE TOTEM POLE THAN ME.
AND HERE'S WHAT ELSE IS WRONG.
HE'S BRIEFING ANDREW WISEMAN.
ANDREW WISEMAN IS THE HEAD OF
THE FRAUD SECTION AS YOU JUST
REPORTED.
I SOUP RISED THE FRAUD SECTION.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FISA
APPLICATIONS.
WHAT WAS HE DOING THERE.
LOU: NOT A PART OF WHAT WOULD BE
A COUNTER ESPIONAGE OR COUNTER
INTELLIGENCE OPERATION OR IN ANY
WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE NATIONAL
SECURITY DIVISION.
>> OUT OF HIS PORTFOLIO
COMPLETELY.
MORE THAN THE CONGRESS LYING
ABOUT WHAT WAS SAID, THAT'S MORE
OF THE STORY.
LOU: THIS IS A STORY, JOE, AS WE
ALL KNOW, THAT GOES ON AND ON.
AND WITH THE NAMES THAT HAVE
BEEN FIRED AND TRANSFERRED AND
DEMOTED.
I MEAN ON AND ON THE LIST GOES,
AT THE TOP OF THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT.
BUT PRIMARILY AT THE DEPARTMENT,
THE FBI.
THERE'S NO PROSECUTION, THERE'S
NOTHING HAPPENING HERE.
THIS IS AN ENTIRE DEEP STATE, IT
SEEMS AT LEAST TO MOST OF US
OBSERVING FROM A DISTANCE, THAT
IS PURELY TO RUN OUT THE CLOCK
AND TO DENY JUSTICE, NOT TO
BRING ANYONE TO JUSTICE.
>> WELL I THINK THAT'S ALL GOING
TO CHANGE WHEN BILL BARR BECOMES
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
I EXPECT HIM TO AUTHORIZE GRAND
JURIES INTO ALL OF THIS IF
THEY'RE NOT ALREADY BEING
CONDUCTED.
AND TO MAKE THEM ROBUST IF THEY
ARE NOT ROBUST NOW AND TO
REPLACE PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT DOING
THEIR JOBS, INCLUDING MR. HUBER.
WHAT'S FASCINATING ABOUT THE OHR
TESTIMONY IS THAT HE NOW
ESTABLISHES AS A FACT THAT THE
FBI WAS TOLD, BEFORE THE FIRST
APPLICATION FOR A FISA WARRANT,
THAT THE INFORMATION WAS
UNVERIFIED, UNRELIABLE AND THAT
CHRISTOPHER STEELE HAD AN AN
MOUSE
ANUSE
ANNAE
ANMOE
ANMOWS TOWARD THE UNITED STATES.
WHAT HE HAS DONE THROUGH HIS
TESTIMONY IS ESTABLISH THAT
THERE WAS A CABAL.
THAT THE FBI SENIOR DOJ
OFFICIALS WANTED TO GET DONALD
TRUMP REGARDLESS OF THE EVIDENCE
AND THEY WANTED TO SPY ON HIM
AND THEY SUCCEEDED TO
AND THEY SUCCEEDED IO
AND THEY SUCCEEDED IN DOING SO
BY LYING TO A FEDERAL COURT AND
COMMITTING FEDERAL FELONIES.
I EXCEPT ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR
TO IMPANEL A GRAND JURY TO
INVESTIGATE ALL OF THIS.
LOU: DO YOU -- LET'S GET YOUR
OPINION ON THIS.
WILLIAM BARR, A MAN WITH A
REPUTATION FOR INTEGRITY AND
EFFECTIVENESS, DO YOU THINK HE
UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS IS A TIME
IN WHICH THE FBI HAS ZERO KRED
NLT WITH
CRT WITH
CREDWITH
CREDIBTH
CREDIBILITY WITH THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC.
AND I'M TALKING ABOUT FIELD
AGENTS THROUGH THE TOP
OFFICIALS, UNFAIRLY IN SOME
CASES, BUT FOR THE TOP
LEADERSHIP OF THE FBI AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, IT IS A
QUAGMIRE OF CORRUPTION.
>> I THINK HE KNOWS THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE
FBI ARE AT AN HISTORIC LOW IN
PUBLIC RESPECT AND ESTEEM.
HE KNOWS THAT THE SENIOR PEOPLE
OF THE OBAMA DOJ AND FBI HAVE
DESTROYED AN INSTITUTION FOR TWO
REASONS, TO PROTECT HILLARY
CLINTON AND TO DESTROY DONALD
TRUMP AND TO DESTROY HIS
PRESIDENCY.
THIS IS IN FACT THE GREATEST
POLITICAL SCANDAL IN THE HISTORY
OF OUR COUNTRY.
AND I EXPECT BILL BARR TO DO
WHAT HE HAS ALWAYS DONE.
HE WILL ENFORCE THE LAW EQUALLY
BUT HE WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT THE
DOJ AND THE FBI ARE ROOTED OUT
OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE SUBVERTED THE
RULE OF LAW.
>> LET ME TELL YOU WHAT ELSE
BILL HAS.
HE THAZ A LOVE OF THE LAW.
AND THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN AT
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FEEL THE
SAME --
LOU: I HOPE WE HAVE SOMEBODY
THAT HAS A LOVE FOR THIS COUNTRY
AND THESE PEOPLE.
THIS IS JUST STOMACH CHURNING TO
LOOK AT THE LEVEL OF CORRUPTION.
>> IT IS.
>> AND THOSE OF US WHO LOVE THE
LAW ARE SO UPSET ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
