>> John: FOX NEWS ALERT, IN A
NEWLY DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
ABOUT THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION
RUSSIA INVESTIGATION, THE
DOCUMENT SHOWS A FIRST
INTELLIGENCE BRIEFING AS A
CANDIDATE WAS LED BY AGENTS WHO
HAD ALREADY OPENED AN
INVESTIGATION INTO HIS TEAM’S
TIES TO RUSSIA.
A SUMMARY OF THAT BRIEFING WOULD
LATER BE FILED AS PART OF THE SO
CALLED HURRICANE INVESTIGATION.
KT McFARLAND IS A FORMER
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND AN AUTHOR OF
THE NEW BOOK, RESOLUTION. LET ME PULL UP A LITTLE BIT OF
LET ME PULL UP A LITTLE BIT OF
THIS MEMO FROM JAPAN, AND HE
SAYS "DURING THE O.D. NIA,
DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE BRIEFS ACTOR
ACTIVELY LISTEN FOR TOPICS OR
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE RUSSIAN
FEDERATION.
DURING DISCUSSION REGARDING
NUCLEAR TESTING, RUSSIA AND
CHINA WERE BROUGHT UP AS
CHEATING ON THE NUCLEAR TEST BAN
TREATY.
TRUMP ASKED, WHO IS WORSE?
THEY ARE BOTH BAD BUT RUSSIA IS
WORSE.
CHRISTIE COMMENTED, I’M SHOCKED.
IT WAS GOVERNOR CHRIS CHRISTIE, PRESIDENT TRUMP AND MICHAEL
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND MICHAEL
FLYNN ALL IN THAT MEETING THIS
IS JUST SIMPLY EXTRAORDINARY.
A DEFENSIVE BRIEFING.
I SET UP A NUMBER OF DEFENSIVE
BRIEFINGS FOR THE NATIONAL
SECURITY COUNCIL AND WHITE HOUSE
STAFF IN THE BEGINNING OF THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
THIS IS HOW YOU HANDLE IT, THIS
IS WHAT YOU DON’T TAKE HOME FROM
WORK.
ONE OF THE POINTS THAT WE MADE
IT, YOU ARE NEW TO THIS.
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TRY TO
RECRUIT YOU AND HERE ARE THE
THINGS THAT TO WATCH OUT FOR.
SOMEBODY KNEW POPS UP, AND
SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO CULTIVATE
THE FRIENDSHIP.
THEY MAY ACTUALLY HAVE SOME
CONNECTION TO THE FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT.
IT TURNS OUT THOSE BRIEFINGS
WERE NOT REALLY TO WARN THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ABOUT OTHER
PEOPLE SIGN ON THEM.
THEY WERE EXCUSES, THAT’S THE
MOST EGREGIOUS ABUSE OF POWER
THAT WAS SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP BROUGHT UP
THAT VERY FACT ON HANNITY LAST
NIGHT.
>> THEY SPIED ON THE CAMPAIGN
USING THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES
OF OUR COUNTRY.
THIS IS TREASON, THIS IS MANY
THINGS THAT YOU CAN CALL IT BUT
OBAMA AND BIDEN DO EVERYTHING.
>> PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS LONG
MAINTAINED THAT CAMPAIGN WAS
SPIED ON.
>> AND I THINK THERE ARE A
COUPLE OF THINGS TO SAY ABOUT
THIS.
THEY ALL TOOK NOTE.
AND THEY TOOK NOTES INTO THEIR
OWN HANDS.
NOW WHY DID THEY DO THAT?
PART OF IT WAS BECAUSE THEY
NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD GET CAUGHT.
THEY COULD BLAME THE RATING.
THIS IS NOT ANONYMOUS SOURCES
LEAKING, THESE ARE ACTUAL
DOCUMENTS AND PIECE OF PAPER,
TEXT MESSAGES AND EMAILS.
THEY ARE STARTING TO BE RELEASED
OF THE MID-LEVEL PEOPLE.
MY QUESTION IS, ONCE THOSE
DOCUMENTS ARE RELEASED IT
USUALLY INDICATES THAT THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS DONE WITH
THEM.
THEY HAVE ALREADY LOOKED THROUGH
THEM AND THEY’VE ALREADY TALKED
TO THOSE PEOPLE AND MAY BE A
VINDICATION THAT OTHER HEADS
WILL FALL SOON.
>> John: IF YOU COULD ALSO BE
AN INDICATION THAT THE ROOM IS
ABOUT TO DROP THE FINDINGS OF
HIS INVESTIGATION BUT THAT MAY
NOT HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER THE
ELECTION.
ONE THING I FOUND INTERESTING IS
THAT IF THIS WAS A DEFENSIVE
BRIEFING, WHY WASN’T
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS
ENTOURAGE INFORMED HER THAT THE
RUSSIANS WERE TARGETING THEIR
CAMPAIGN?
>> THAT’S TO MAKE ANY SENSE
BECAUSE THEY WERE USING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPY ON TRUMP.
