ELIZABETH: WELCOME BACK.
MEDIA CRITICS LIKE THE MEDIA
RESEARCH CENTER NOW CALLING THIS
A MAJOR BLACKOUT IN THE NBC NEWS
DIVISION, ALSO THE CBS EVENING
NEWS, ALSO ABC WORLD’S NEWS,
SAYING THEY DID NOT COVER ON THE
AIR FORMER DEPUTY ATTORNEY
GENERAL SALLY YATES GETTING
GRILLED ABOUT ABUSES OF POWER
UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
IN THE TRUMP-RUSSIA AND THE
MICHAEL FLYNN PROBES.
LET’S WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW
KT FARLAND.
GREAT TO SEE YOU, KT.
SO THEY DIDN’T COVER IT ON THE
AIR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT?
>> HEY, I JUST WANT TO GIVE A
SHOUT-OUT TO CONGRESSMAN GREG
TUBE BY E BY.
HE -- STEUBE, HE GAVE YOU A
INNING CREDIBLE INTERVIEW, BUT
HE ALSO TODAY ENDORSED MY
DAUGHTER WHO IS RUNNING FOR THE
HOUSE, SO HE IS ONE STRONG
CONGRESSMAN.
ELIZABETH: CONGRATULATIONS.
>> OF COURSE THEY’RE NOT GOING
TO COVER IT, YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHY?
THEY WERE IN ON OUT FROM THE
START.
HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED IN
WASHINGTON, WHEN THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WANTS TO
DO SOMETHING THAT THEY KNOW
WRONG, WHAT DO THEY DO?
THEY LEAK IT TO THE PRESS.
THEY HAVE SOME REPORTERS AT THE
WASHINGTON POST, AT "THE NEW
YORK TIMES," AT MSNBC, AND THEY
LEAK IT.
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU SEE
THE STORY THAT SAYS ANONYMOUS
SOURCES CLAIM THAT THE, FILL IN
THE BLANK, DONALD TRUMP A PUPPET
OF PUTIN, DONALD TRUMP IS BEING
INVESTIGATED, MICHAEL FLYNN
BEING INVESTIGATED, AND THEN THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY CAN TURN
AROUND AND POINT TO THAT STORY
THAT THEY LEAKED IN THE FIRST
PLACE AND SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW,
THIS GIVES US SOME REAL CAUSE
AND EVIDENCE FOR INVESTIGATING
DONALD TRUMP, MIKE FLYNN, ETC.
SO THEY LEAK IT IN ORDER TO
POINT TO IT, TO INVESTIGATE IT.
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS
IN THE MEDIA.
THEY WERE CO-CONSPIRATORS ALONG
WITH A LOT OF THE PEOPLE IN THE
SENIOR RANKS OF THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY.
ELIZABETH: OKAY.
YOU KNOW, KT, HERE’S WHAT
SENATOR CHUCK GRASSILY HAS TOLD
US -- CHUCK GRASSLEY HAS TOLD US
CONCERNS HIM.
IF THEY CAN DO IT TO FLYNN OR
OTHER INDIVIDUALS, THEY COULD DO
IT TO YOU, THEY COULD DO IT TO
THE VIEWERS.
HERE’S WHAT HE IS SAYING A
HAPPENED, THAT THE OVAL OFFICE
MEETING WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA --
YOU KNOW THIS -- AND JAMES
COMEY, JAMES COMEY WRITES DOWN
IN HIS NOTES THAT GENERAL
FLYNN’S PHONE CALL APPEARS
LEGIT.
THIS IS ABOUT POLICY DIFFERENTS
WITH THE INCOMING TRUMP AND
OUTGOING OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
BUT THEN JAMES COMEY EXPLOITS
THE INCOMING CHAOS, SENDS OVER
PETER STRZOK, JOE PIENTKA TO
INTERVIEW FLYNN UNDER THE
PRETEXT OF A BRIEFING X. YOU
KNOW ABOUT THIS.
IT WAS A CRIMINAL INTERVIEW --
>> I WAS IN SOME OF THOSE
BRIEFINGS.
ELIZABETH: IT WAS A PERJURY
TRAP, RIGHT?
YEAH.
AND SO THAT’S THE ISSUE.
NO MIRANDA WARNING, NO LAWYER
PRESENT.
SO THAT’S WHAT SENATOR GRASSLEY
SAYS SCARY, KT.
GO AHEAD.
>> YEAH.
IT’S A REAL ABUSE OF POWER.
IF THEY CAN DO IT TO MIKE --
THEY TRIED TO CATCH ME IN A
PERJURY TRAP, AND THEY KNEW WHAT
THE -- IT’S LIKE THEY HAVE THE
ANSWER KEY X THEY ASK YOU, THEY
QUIZ YOU THINGS THEY THINK YOU
SHOULD REMEMBER, AND IF YOU
CAN’T REMEMBER IT QUITE RIGHT,
WELL, THAT HAPPENED ON A PHONE
CALL ON TUESDAY, NOT WEDNESDAY,
THEY CAN POP UP AND SAY, WELL,
YOU MUST BE LYING BECAUSE YOU
SHOULD HAVE REMEMBERED THAT.
I MEAN, AFTER ALL, THAT WASES SO
IMPORTANT.
AND THEN THEY’VE GOTCHA.
IT’S A GOTCHA QUESTION, AND
THAT’S WHAT THEY DID WITH MIKE
FLYNN.
AND IN THE END THEY EXTORT HIM
AND BLACKMAILED HIM AND SAID IF
YOU DON’T PLEAD GUILTY TO CRIMES
THAT, FRANKLY, WE KNOW YOU
DIDN’T COMMIT, WE’RE GOING TO GO
AFTER YOUR SON.
THAT’S WHAT THEY DID.
THEY WANTED US TO SAY DONALD
TRUMP HAD COMMITTED A CRIME WHEN
DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T QUIT THE
CRIME. -- DIDN’T COMMIT THE
CRIME.
AND YET THEY WERE HOLDING IT
OVER PEOPLE’S HEADS, FLYNN,
MYSELF AND OTHERS.
AND THEY KNOW AT THE END OF THE
DAY, AND THIS IS WHERE GRASSLEY
E IS RIGHT, THEY KNOW THEY CAN
BANKRUPT YOU BECAUSE I YOU HAVE
TO PAY FOR YOUR OWN LEGAL
DEFENSE.
IT CAN RUN INTO MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS.
SO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THE
FBI AND THE CROOKED COPS, AS
PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLS THEM, THEY
KNOW AT THE END OF THE DAY EVEN
IF YOU CAN’T PLEAD GUILTY, EVEN
IF YOU WON’T GET BROKEN LIKE
THEY TRY TO DO TO VARIOUS
PEOPLE, THEY’RE GOING TO
BANKRUPT YOU.
ELIZABETH: REALLY, SO THIS
CORROSIVE AND CORRUPT AND
JUST -- IN YOUR ESTIMATION ARE
THE AMERICAN VIEWERS OF ABC,
CBS, NBC AND THEIR ENTIRE
BROADCAST NETWORKS, ARE THEY
GETTING THAT INFORMATION ABOUT
WHAT HAPPENED?
AGAIN, THE FBI SAID THEY WERE
GOING TO DROP THE CASE AND PROBE
INTO, THEIR PROBE INTO GENERAL
MICHAEL FLYNN BECAUSE IT WAS,
QUOTE, NO DEROGATORY INFORMATION
TO GO AFTER.
BUT THEN THEY TRIED TO SET UP A
PERJURY TRAP ACCORDING TO
DOCUMENTS.
SO EVERYBODY’S OKAY WITH THAT.
>> I I GUESS SO.
AND, YOU KNOW, IF THAT’S’ THE
PROBLEM WITH MODERN JOURNALISM.
LOOK AT THE WOKE NEW YORK TIMES,
THEY WON’T EVEN LET MINUTE LIKE
SENATOR TOM COTTON HAVE AN
EDITORIAL BECAUSE THEY DON’T
LIGHTENING HIS POLICIES.
IT’S A PRETTY DANGEROUS PLACE
WE’RE ENTERING INTO.
ELIZABETH: ALL RIGHT.
KT, THANKS FOR JOINING US, AND
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
DAUGHTER.
GREAT NEWS.
