OPENING UP THE WIDEST INVESTIGATION INTO DONALD TRUMP
SINCE THE LAUNCH OF THE MUELLER
PROBE.
PROBE. THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE,
WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST
POWERFUL INVESTIGATIVE BODIES OF
THE U.S. CONGRESS HAS DROPPED
THE HAMMER OFFICIALLY.
LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH EXACTLY
WHAT’S HAPPENING.
WHAT’S HAPPENING. THEY ARE PUSHING NOW FOR
EVIDENCE AND DOCUMENTS FROM 81
DIFFERENT PEOPLE, ORGANIZATIONS
AND COMPANIES TIED TO OR WITH
KNOWLEDGE OF THE ACTIVITIES OF
DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP. THIS TOUCHES ON VIRTUALLY EVERY
ASPECT OF HIS LIFE IN PRESIDENCY
AND HIS CONTACTS WITH RUSSIANS.
THE REQUESTS GO TO DONALD
TRUMP’S FAMILY, NOT TO HIS
DAUGHTER, TO HIS SONS AND JAIR
KUSHNER, HIS BUSINESS AND
MEMBERS OF HIS OUTSIDE LEGAL
TEAM, IT GO ES TO THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN, INCLUDING EVERY FORMER
AIDE ALREADY INDICTED BY BOB
MUELLER.
MUELLER. THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE ALSO
LOOKING DIRECTLY INTO THE LIVES
OF WHITE HOUSE STAFFERS, WHAT
DID THEY DO AT WORK AND WHAT DID
THE LAWYERS DO IN THE WHITE
HOUSE COUNSEL’S OFFICE, WHICH
HAS LEAKED SO MUCH ABOUT
POTENTIAL REQUESTS FOR CRIMINAL
ACTIVITIES BY THE PRESIDENT,
WHETHER HE GOT PEOPLE TO DO IT
OR NOT.
OR NOT. THEN NEW REQUESTS HERE TO
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES LIKE THE DOJ
AND THE FBI, WHICH DONALD TRUMP
HAS IMPUGNED AND ATTACKED AND
TABLOID ALLIES TIED TO THE HUSH
MONEY PAYMENT ITSELF TO THE
WOMEN THAT MICHAEL COHEN WAS
TESTIFYING TO LAST WEEK AND
MULTIPLE PEOPLE TO WikILEAKS AND
A REQUEST TO WikILEAKS, ITSELF,
AND THE PEOPLE WHO WENT TO THE
NOW INFAMOUS TRUMP TOWER
MEETING.
MEETING. EACH OF THESE PEOPLE THEY HAVE
TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION
BECAUSE OF WHAT IS NOW THIS NEW
SWEEPING INVESTIGATION INTO
ALLEGED OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES AS WELL AS ALLEGATIONS OF
PUBLIC CORRUPTION AND AN INQUIRY
INTO QUOTE OTHER ABUSES OF
POWER.
POWER. NOW, SOME OF THESE LEADS, OF
COURSE, AS I MENTIONED, THEY
COME FROM MICHAEL COHEN.
HE IS ON THE LIST, HIMSELF, 31
OF THE 81 PEOPLE CONTACTED CAME
UP IN HIS BLOCKBUSTER HEARING.
WHILE LOTS OF COMMITTEES ARE
INVESTIGATING DONALD TRUMP THE
JUDICIARY IS THE ONE IN CHARGE
OF ANY POTENTIAL BEGINNING OF
THE IMPEACHMENT PROCESS.
>> THAT IS WHAT GIVES THIS EXTRA
HEFT.
HEFT. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOW WHAT
IS BOB MUELLER’S WORK COULD MEAN
IN THE CONTEXT OF WHAT OUR
CONSTITUTION ALWAYS PROVIDES,
WHICH IS THAT CONGRESS IS THE
FIRST PLACE TO ADJUDICATE ABUSES
OF POWER OR POTENTIAL HIGH
CRIMES BY A SITTING PRESIDENT.
CHAIRMAN JERRY NADLER WHO
STUDIES THESE ISSUES SAYS THIS
IS NOT "I" WORD YET.
HE ARGUES DONALD TRUMP
EFFECTIVELY HAS PROVIDED THE
EVIDENCE TO SHOW HE’S COMMITTED
A CLIMB.
A CLIMB. >> DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT
OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE?
OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE? >> YES, I DO.
IF IT IS VERY CLEAR THE
PRESIDENT OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE.
>> IF THAT’S THE CASE, IS THE
DECISION TO PURSUE IMPEACHMENT
POLITICAL?
POLITICAL? IF YOU BELIEVE HE OBSTRUCTED
JUSTICE?
JUSTICE? >> NO WE HAVE TO -- WE HAVE TO
DO THE INVESTIGATIONS AND GET
ALL THIS.
ALL THIS. BEFORE YOU IMPEACH SOMEBODY,
HAVE YOU AS TO PERSUADE THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT IT OUGHT TO
HAPPEN.
HAPPEN. >> I AM JOINED BY THE "WALL
STREET JOURNAL" SHELBY HOLIDAY,
VETERAN PROSECUTOR PAUL
HENDERSON AND A WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENT FOR THE "DAILY
BEAST."
BEAST." THIS IS CONGRESS.
SO WE’RE GOING TO GET OUT TO HOW
CONGRESS MAKES THIS KIND OF
INVESTIGATION.
INVESTIGATION. STARTING ON THE NARROWER PLANK
OF THE ACTUAL LEGAL
IMPLICATIONS, PAUL, WHAT DOES IT
MEAN WHEN THE CHAIRMAN JUDICIARY
RELEASES A FINDING, A CONCLUSION
THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY
COMMITTED THE CRIME OF
OBSTRUCTION?
OBSTRUCTION? >> IT CAN MEAN A LET.
LET’S BE CLEAR, THEY ARE LOOKING
FOR ACTIONABLE BAD BEHAVIOR AND
ACTIONABLE BAD BEHAVIOR WHAT YOU
ALLUDED TO IS THE HIGH CRIMES
AND MISDEMEANORS.
AND MISDEMEANORS. I KNOW THAT DRIFTS US INTO
IMPEACHMENT.
IMPEACHMENT. WE’RE NOT AT IMPEACHMENT YET.
WE’RE DEFINITELY ON THE ROAD.
THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD.
AND THIS IS THE GAS FOR THAT
CAR, THIS INVESTIGATION.
SO WE ARE LOOKING FOR BAD
BEHAVIOR AND ACTION ITEMS FROM
THIS PRESIDENT AND WE ALREADY
KNOW A LOT OF WHAT THEY ARE.
BUT I THINK WHAT STAND OUT TO ME
IS HOW BROAD AND HOW AGGRESSIVE
THIS INVESTIGATION IS THAT
SUPERSEDES AND EXPANDS BEYOND
EVEN WHAT WE’RE GOING TO GET
FROM THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION,
WHEN J EVER THAT COMES OUT.
BUT THAT’S DEFINITELY WHAT THE
GOAL IS TO COVER MORE CRIMES.
>> PALM, IF THIS IS A CAR, A LOT
OOF PEOPLE THOUGHT BOB MUELLER
WAS DRIVING IT.
THE LAST TIME PEOPLE REMEMBER AN
IMPEACHMENT PROTECT THE THEN
PROSECUTOR KEN STARR WAS DRIVING
IT.
IT. HE PROVIDED A BUNCH OF MATERIAL
THAT PUSHED CONGRESS IN THAT
DIRECTION.
DIRECTION. EVERYONE KNEW THE POLITICAL
NATURE OF IT.
THAT’S WHAT THE REPUBLICANS
WANTED.
WANTED. ARE YOU SUGGESTING JERRY NADLER
IS NOW IN THAT CAR, NOT BOB
MUELLER WHO IS OPERATING UNDER
NARROWER RULES THAN KEN STARR
WAS?
WAS? >> I AM SAYING THERE IS MORE
THAN ONE CAR, THERE ARE SEVERAL
INVESTIGATIONS INDEPENDENT OF
THIS INVESTIGATION, INDEPENDENT
OF MUELLER AS WELL.
BUT THIS CAR NOW IS VERY
AGGRESSIVE AND VERY BROAD AND IS
GOING TO INCLUDE A LOT OF
INVESTIGATIONIVE TOOLS THAT
HERETOFORE HAD BEEN LIMITED IN
SCOPE.
SCOPE. AND I THINK THIS CAR IS GOING TO
PULL IN ALL OF THE OTHER
INVESTIGATIONS IN A MORE FOCUSED
AND A MORE NARROW PATHWAY THAT
GETS US TO RAISING THE QUESTION
OF IMIMPEACHMENT, NOT JUST FOR
CONGRESS, BUT FOR THE BROADER
PUBLIC AS WELL AND THEY’RE GOING
TO TIE IN ALL OF THESE OTHER
SMALLER INVESTIGATIONS AND WEAVE
THEM INTO A CONCRETE AND
SPECIFIC NARRATIVE FOCUSED ON
ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF
IMIMPEACHMENT.
IMIMPEACHMENT. BOTH FOR THE BROADER PUBLIC AND
FOR THE REST OF OUR ELECTED
OFFICIALS TO MAKE A DECISION OF
WHAT THEY NODE TO DO IN TERMT OF
THE NEXT STEP.
IT INCLUDES EVERYTHING.
>> SO I UNDERSTAND IT THE
NADNADEN LER CAR LIKE A BIG LOUD
LAMBORGHINI AND THE MUELLER CAR
WAS A MUCH QUIETER KIND OF A
MAYBACK, SOMETHING YOU CAN
BARELY HEAR AS IT GOES DOWN THE
ROAD?
ROAD? >> I LIKE THAT ANALOGY.
AND I LIKE TO THINK OF THIS CAR
AS THE BIGGER CAR AND WE SEE HOW
BIG IT IS, BECAUSE OF THE SCOPE
AND THE AGGRESSIVE NATURE OF HOW
THAT CAR IS MOVING AND THE OTHER
CAR, WHICH CAN ALSO GET TO THAT
SAME GOAL ARE A LITTLE SMALLER,
MAYBE A LITTLE QUIETER, BECAUSE
THEY DON’T ENCOMPASS ALL OF THE
THINGS WE ARE SEEING HERE WITH A
REAL FOCUS ON TRUMP ANOTHER
PAST, PRESENT, AND HIS FUTURE IN
THE SCOPE.
THE SCOPE. THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT HIS
FOUNDATION, HIS CHARITIES, HIS
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS, HIS
CAMPAIGN, HIS ELECTION.
>> IT’S SWEEPING, IT’S HUGE.
>> IT’S ALL IN THE POT.
>> ELEANOR, ARE YOU INTERESTED
IF GETTING INVOLVED IN THE
AUTOMOBILE ANALOGIES?
AUTOMOBILE ANALOGIES? >> WELL, I’M THINKING OF A PRIUS
AND A HUMMER.
I’M NOT SURE WHICH VEHICLE I
ASSIGN TO EITHER SIDE.
I THIS I THE DEMOCRATS HAVE
KNOWN THEY WERE GOING TO BE IN A
INVESTIGATORY BUSINESS FOR A
LONG TIME, SINCE REALLY BEFORE
ELECTION DAY.
ELECTION DAY. AND THEY HAVE CAREFULLY PLANNED
OUT A LOT AND WITH NANCY PELOSI
AT THE HELM, SHE UNDERSTANDS THE
RISKS OF HEADING DOWN FOR
IMPEACHMENT WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE
PUBLIC OPINION.
PUBLIC OPINION. AND IT IS NOT ROBERT MUELLER’S
JOB IN HIS BIG HUMMER TO BRING
ALONG THE MARINE PEOPLE.
HE’S JUST -- HE’S DRIVING
TOWARDS A LEGAL CONCLUSION.
THE DEMOCRATS WITH THEIR
SUSTAINABLE PRIUS, THEY’RE GOING
TO EDUCATE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
AND IF YOU DON’T BRING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ALONG,
IMPEACHMENT IS A FOOL’S ERRAND.
AND THE 81 PEOPLE THEY ARE
SUBPOENAING, THE INVESTIGATIONS
THEY’RE GOING TO CONDUCT, IT’S
GOING TO EDUCATE THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. AND DURING WATERGATE, THERE WERE
58 DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE.
NOW, RICHARD NIXON RESIGNED
BEFORE HE WAS CONVICTED AND HE
WASN’T EVEN IMPEACHED.
HE KNEW THE GAME WAS OVER.
THERE WERE 48 DEMOCRATS NOW AND
IF THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO HOLD
THEIR RED WOOL, FINE.
BUT LET’S SEE WHEN THE PUBLIC
BEGINS TO WEIGH IN.
I THINK YOU KNOW WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING TO OURSELVES THE LAST
YEAR-AND-A-HALF AND I THINK THE
PUBLIC OUT THERE REALLY, THEY
DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT THIS IS
ALL ABOUT AND WHY IT SHOULD
MATTER.
MATTER. >> RIGHT.
>> RIGHT. >> THE PEOPLE ELECTED TRUMP
BECAUSE THEY WANTED HIM TO SORT
OF SHAKE THINGS UP.
HE’S DONE THAT.
SO LET THE EDUCATION BEGIN.
I THINK THAT’S WHERE WE’RE AT.
>> SHELBY, MICHAEL COHEN WASN’T
TALKING TO HIMSELF.
A LOT OF PEOPLE SAW THAT.
THEY KNOW HE RIDES WITH TRUMP.
JUST LOOKING AT ONE PERSON WHEN
WE SAY 81, FOLKS COMING HOME
THEIR MONDAY NIGHT ARE SEEING
THIS IS A LOT.
BUT WHEN YOU DIG INTO THE
EXAMPLES, WE LOOKED AT THE JARED
KUSHNER EXAMPLE, SPECIFICALLY.
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> YOU HAVE DOCUMENTS HERE THAT
THE DEMOCRATS WANT ON MICHAEL
FLIRNGS ON THE FIRING OF COMEY,
ON JEFF SESSION’S RECUSAL.
ON THE ATTEMPT TO FIRE MUELLER.
IF JARED KUSHNER WAS IN AN
ACTIVE PLOT TO DO THAT, THAT
LOOKS LIKE OBSTRUCTION.
THE POTENTIAL ABUSE OF THE
PARDON POWER, SDNY, FINANCING,
WE KNOW JARED KUSHNER HAD SOME
ISSUES AROUND SECURITY
CLEARANCE, WikILEAKS, PUTIN,
QATAR, SAUDI ARABIA, THAT’S JUST
ON KUSHNER.
ON KUSHNER. >> I THINK THE FAMILY THEN WHAT
I WOULD CALL THE GAESTKEEPERS OF
THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION COULD BE
THE MOST DANGEROUS FOR TRUMP.
THEY’VE KNOWN TRUMP IN SO MANY
DIFFERENT CAPACITIES, JARED
KUSHNER IS A GREAT EXAMPLE, FOR
THE REASONS YOU LISTED.
HIS ASSISTANT, RONA GRAFT, THE
GATEKEEPER OF INFORMATION,
PEOPLE WHO WANTED TO TALK TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP. SHE WAS IN TOUCH WITH THE
RUSSIAN FAMILY THAT HELPED SET
UP THE TOUCH TOWER NEW YORK
MEETING, HOPE HICKS WAS ON THE
AIRPLANE WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP
DICTATED THE RESPONSE TO THAT
TRUMP TOWER MEETING.
>> TO YOUR POINT, RONA, HOPE,
THEY ARE TRUMP’S VERSION OF THE
E-MAILS.
E-MAILS. BECAUSE HE DOESN’T E-MAIL.
HE DOESN’T TEXT.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO STAND
AROUND HIM AND ARE THE CLOSEST
THING TO, IF THEY KEEP NOTES OR
YOU CAN TRACK, THEY SAY THE
PRESIDENT OR THE CANDIDATE WANTS
TO TALK TO SOMEONE, THEY WRITE
IT DOWN, THOSE THOSE NOTES ARE
THE CLOSEST TO TRUMP E-MAIL.
THERE IS NO E-MAIL.
>> THAT’S A GREAT POINT.
KEITH SCHILLER HIS BODY GUARD HE
TRAVELED WITH EXECUTIVE TRUMP TO
RMPBLT HE’S FAMILIAR WITH THE
HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS AND THE
WOMEN TRUMP WAS SURROUNDED BY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THOSE
QUOTE/UNQUOTE GATE KEEPERS
AROUND PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT
AREN’T AFFILIATEING WITH HIS
CAMPAIGN AND COULD BE DAMAGING
TO HIM.
TO HIM. >> YOU MENTIONED ELEANOR A
FORMER TRUMP EXECUTIVE THAT
WORKED WITH THESE PEOPLE
DISCUSSED SOME OF THAT ON "THE
BEAT" ON FRIDAY.
TAKE A LOOK.
>> DO YOU THINK THAT THERE ARE
OTHER HUSH MONEY PAYMENTS THAT
HE MAY KNOW ABOUT?
>> YES.
>> YES. LOTS.
LOTS. >> MORE THAN GIVE?
>> PROBABLY.
>> PROBABLY. >> MORE THAN TEN?
>> I CAN’T SAY.
>> BUT THAT STRIKES YOU AS --
>> INDISTINCTSTINCTINSTINCTIVE.
>> INDISTINCTSTINCTINSTINCTIVE. TRUMP WOULD DRAW OUT THE CHECK.
PROBABLY TRUMP WOULD SIGN IT,
HIMSELF.
HIMSELF. >> IN THE ORDER OF PRIORITIES,
HOW SIT FOR DEMOCRATS TO DIG
INTO STUFF LIKE THAT VERSUS
THINGS POST-NOVEMBER 2016 THAT
RELATE TO THE WAY HE’S RUNNING
THE GOVERNMENT.
THE GOVERNMENT. >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. I THINK THERE IS A DEBATE ABOUT
WHETHER YOU GO AFTER A PRESIDENT
FOR ALLEGED CRIMES COMMITTED
BEFORE HE BECAME PRESIDENT.
I THINK WHAT HE’S DIDN’T SINCE
HE BECAME PRESIDENT SHOULD BE OF
A GREATER PRIORITY.
ALSO, YOU CAN PUT UNDER A
HEADING OF DOES THE PUBLIC
REALLY CARE ABOUT HUSH MONEY?
OKAY.
OKAY. THERE ARE ILLEGALITIES THERE,
BUT WE KNOW WHAT TRUMP’S
CHARACTER IS.
CHARACTER IS. WE KNOW HE’S BEEN WITH OTHER
WOMEN.
WOMEN. WE HEARD MICHAEL COHEN I THINK
SAY VERY CONVINCINGLY,
APOLOGIZING TO THE FIRST LADY,
YOU KNOW, FOR LYING TO HER.
SO I THINK THAT’S SALACIOUS, BUT
I THINK THAT’S NOT AS IMPORTANT
AS THE WAY HE HAS TRIED ON
GOVERNMENT RULES, THE WAY HE HAS
PROFITED FROM THE PRESIDENCY
SINCE HE’S TAKEN POSSESSION OF
THE OVAL OFFICE.
AND IT ALMOST FEELS THAT WAY.
HE’S TRYING TO RUN THE COUNTRY
LIKE HE DID THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION WITH ALL THE SAME
ILLEGALITIES.
ILLEGALITIES. I’M ANXIOUS TO HEAR FROM THE CEO
OF THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION AND HE
HAS IMMUNITY TO CERTAIN EXTENT.
BUT I THINK ALL THESE FIGURES
ARE GOING TO TAKE ON LIVES OF
THEIR OWN AS THEY PARADE BEFORE
CONGRESS AND THAT, WITH AGAIN,
IRAN CONTRA, THERE WAS ACTUALLY
A HANDBOOK WAS ISSUED SO YOU
COULD KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE
PLAYERS, THERE WAS FAWN HALL,
OLIVER NORTH.
OLIVER NORTH. I THINK THESE PEOPLE WILL BECOME
THREE DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERS IN
THE LIVES OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
PEOPLE. >> ABOUT THE JUDGMENT THAT WENT
INTO THE POWERS THAT THEY WERE
GIVEN.
GIVEN. I WILL TURN TO RICHARD PAINTER.
SO I WILL THANK THE ENTIRE
PANEL, SHELBY PAUL AND AS
WELLEANOR.
WELLEANOR. THANKS.
THANKS. I APPRECIATE IT.
>>> THE OTHER CHAIRS DEMANDING
THE WHITE HOUSE GIVE UP MORE
INFORMATION ON THE INARDS, THE
SECRET DETAILS OF WHAT DONALD
TRUMP HAS BEEN DISCUSSING WITH
PUTIN.
PUTIN. INCLUDING, OF COURSE, THESE
TRANSLATORS.
TRANSLATORS. SOMETIMES THE ONLY OTHER
AMERICAN PERSON IN THE ROOM.
SO FOR THE LEGALITIES OF THIS I
WANT TO BRING IN THE CHIEF
ETHICS LAWYER IN THE GEORGE BUSH
WHITE HOUSE.
WHITE HOUSE. >> GOOD EVENING.
>> LET’S GET INTO THIS, NOT THE
WIDER 81 PEOPLE.
BUT SOMETHING THAT GOES TO THE
WAY AMERICA NATIONAL SECURITY IS
BEING CONDUCTED.
BEING CONDUCTED. WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT DONALD
TRUMP MADE THE OPINION TO HAVE
SO FEW, SOMETIMES ONLY ONE
PERSON IN THAT ROOM, AND IS THIS
THE RIGHT PER VIEW OF CONGRESS
OR WHEN YOU WERE IN THE WHITE
HOUSE, WOULD YOU HAVE ARGUED
AGAINST IT AS A LAWYER, SAYING
THIS IS PRESIDENTIAL
PREROGATIVE, YOU DON’T GET THAT
KIND OF STUFF?
>> I WOULD HAVE ARGUED AGAINST
THE PRESIDENT HAVING ONE-ON-ONE
CONVERSATIONS WITH VLADIMIR
PUTIN WITHOUT ANYONE IN THE
ROOM.
ROOM. THAT’S WHAT I WOULD HAVE ARGUED
AGAINST.
AGAINST. IT’S ABSOLUTELY ABSURD.
JUST TO HAVE A TRANSLATOR THERE,
WITHOUT ANYBODY ELSE, WITHOUT
ANY OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY
PERSONNEL, THAT’S A VERY, VERY
UNWISE MOVE ON BEHALF OF THE
PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS CERTAINLY
SHOULD INVESTIGATE.
SHOULD INVESTIGATE. PARTICULARLY WHEN WE HAVE ALL OF
THE OTHER CONTACTS WITH RUSSIA,
THE FACT THAT MULTIPLE MEMBERS
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION HAVE LIED
ABOUT THEIR MEETINGS WITH THE
RUSSIANS.
RUSSIANS. THE FACT THAT DONALD TRUMP,
HIMSELF, SOUGHT INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES IN RUSSIA.
THE FACT THAT THE RUSSIANS
WEREN’T INVITED TO HACK HILLARY
CLINTON’S E-MAIL BY DONALD
TRUMP, DID DO SO.
THE CONTACTS BETWEEN ROGER STONE
AND WikILEAKS.
AND WikILEAKS. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.
YOU WANT TO PUT ALL THAT
TOGETHER.
TOGETHER. >> YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT, IT
SOUNDS MORE AND MORE
INTERESTING.
INTERESTING. IF YOU WERE ADVISING THAT HOUSE
PANEL, WOULD YOU SAY, YEAH, GET
THIS TRANSLATOR INTO CLOSED
SESSION.
SESSION. DON’T LET IT BECOME NECESSARILY
A PUBLIC SPECTACLE, BUT ASK, DID
THE PRESIDENT AND PUTIN WHAT,
DID THEY TALK ABOUT A JOINT
DEFENSE AGREEMENT?
DEFENSE AGREEMENT? DID THEY TALK ABOUT LEAKS?
CLINTON?
CLINTON? THAT KIND OF STUFF?
>> EVERYTHING.
>> EVERYTHING. I’D GET THAT TRANSLATOR INTO A
CLOSED-DOOR SESSION WITH THE
COMMITTEE AND GO THROUGH
EVERYTHING IN THOSE
CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN OUR
PRESIDENT AND VLADIMIR PUTIN.
THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS
SITUATION.
SITUATION. WE DON’T HAVE CONCLUSIVE PROOF
THAT THE PRESIDENT IS A RUSSIAN
MISSOURI BUT HE’S CERTAINLY
ACTING LIKE IT.
AND THE CONGRESS NEEDS TO
INVESTIGATE AND FIND OUT EXACTLY
WHAT WAS SAID TO VLADIMIR PUTIN
AND LOOK AT THE REST OF THIS
RUSSIA CONNECTION.
RUSSIA CONNECTION. REMEMBER, ROBERT MUELLER IS ONLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLEGED CRIMINAL
ACTIVITIES IN CONNECTION WITH
THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.
THERE’S A LOT MORE GOING ON HERE
THAT CAN BE VERY, VERY DANGEROUS
FOR OUR NATIONAL SECURITY AND
THIS PRESIDENT’S RELATIONSHIP
WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN IS VERY
STRANGE, INDEED.
STRANGE, INDEED. >> WELL, YOU JUST PUT YOUR
FINGER ON IT.
A LOT OF THIS GETS NARROWED TO
WHAT’S A FELONY?
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, IF
ANY PRESIDENT, NOT JUST THIS
PRESIDENT, HAD AN EXPOSURE, FOR
EXAMPLE, THEY WERE COORDINATING
MESSAGES AGAINST OUR OWN CIA
WITH A FOREIGN LEADER, THAT
MIGHT NOT TECHNICALLY BE A
FELONY, BUT IT CERTAINLY WOULD
BE SOMETHING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
AND CONGRESS WOULD WANT TO KNOW
