LOU: BREAKING NEWS TONIGHT.
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS IN MANHATTAN
ARE NOW INVESTIGATING PRESIDENT
TRUMPS INAUGURAL COMMITTEE COULD
PROSECUTORS, TWO YEARS LATER,
LOOKING INTO WHETHER THE
COMMITTEES MISSPENT MORE THAN
THE $700 MILLION RAISE FROM
NATIONS AND OTHER DONORS GAVE
MONEY IN EXCHANGE FOR INFLUENCE
IN THE INCOMING TRUMP AND
MINISTRATION.
WHITE HOUSE SPOKESPERSON SARAH
SANDERS SAYS INVESTIGATION HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PRESIDENT
OR FIRST LADY BUT APPARENTLY WAS
THE BEST THAT ANOTHER SET OF
LEFT-WING FEDERAL PROSECUTORS
HAD COME UP WITH TO PERSECUTE
THE PRESIDENTS.
ACCORDING TO A NEW REPORT
SPECIAL COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER
IS PREPARING TO REVEAL HOW THE
MIDDLE EAST INTERFERED IN THE
2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
MUELLER REPORTEDLY WILL SHOW HOW
SOME MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES,
NAMELY THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES,
SAUDI ARABIA AND ISRAEL ALL
TRIED TO INTERFERE IN 2016 AND
LATER ATTEMPT TO EXERT INFLUENCE
OVER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
WOW.
WE'VE COME A LONG WAY FROM
COLLUSION, HAVEN'T WE?
BY THE WAY, I SHOULD POINT OUT
MUELLER HAS YET TO PROVIDE
EVIDENCE OR THE PROSPECT OF A
SCINTILLA OF EVIDENCE OR A SCAN
SCANT, SCANT SUGGESTION OF ANY
EVIDENCE OF TRUMP, RUSSIA
COLLUSION WHATSOEVER.
BUT NOW YOU WILL GET TO HEAR
ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST
APPARENTLY.
JOINING US TONIGHT, MANAGING
PARTNER AND BOARD MEMBER OF THE
ROOM OF THE NATIONAL LAWYERS
ASSOCIATION, RNC COMMITTEEWOMAN,
FOR THE GREAT STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
AND CHARLIE HURT, WASHINGTON
TIMES OPINION EDITOR, FOX IS HIS
CONTRIBUTOR, THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
MAY I START WITH YOU?
YOU ARE THE ATTORNEY.
IT LOOKS LIKE A BAND OF
LEFT-WING RADICAL DEMS WHO
HAPPEN TO BE PROSECUTORS IN
MANHATTAN AND SOUTHERN DISTRICT
OF NEW YORK AND - THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
AND OF COURSE ROBERT MUELLER AND
THE DOJ COMBINED WITH DEEP STATE
ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO
PERSECUTE THIS PRESIDENT.
WHEN IN THE WORLD WILL SOMEBODY
STEP UP AND STOP IT?
>> WELL, MAYBE WHEN WE HAVE A
NEW ATTORNEY GENERAL IN PLACE.
HOPEFULLY, VERY STUPID HE HAS
THE AUTHORITY TO STOP THE
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
FROM ITS WITCHHUNT BUT HE DOES
NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO STOP
THE NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL
FROM DOING SO.
WE MAY HAVE TO SEE SOMETHING
HAPPEN IN THE COURTS WITH
REFUSAL TO COMPLY THINGS BASED
ON EXHIBIT A PRIVILEGE AND SO
FORTH.
LOU, TO YOUR POINT, THERE SEEMS
TO BE NO LONG OBJECTIVITY AND
CLEARLY WE HAVE PROSECUTORS
RUNNING WILD LOOKING FOR CRIMES
TO PIN ON THE PRESIDENT BECAUSE
THEY DON'T LIKE HIM.
IT'S CLEAR AND DISGUSTING.
LOU: CHARLIE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
COUNTER SUIT WITH ABUSE OF POWER
AND GO AFTER ALL OF THEM?
THIS IS CRAZY WHAT WE'RE
WATCHING AND I DON'T WANT TO
HEAR NONSENSE FROM THE LEFT
ABOUT WE'VE GOT TO LET THE THING
WORK ITS WAY THROUGH TO A
CONCLUSION.
WE HAD GONE WELL PAST THE
CONCLUSION.
NO DAMN EVIDENCE, GET OUT OF
TOWN, ROBERT MUELLER SHORT
ANSWER IS THEY WILL NEVER STOP.
THEY WILL NEVER STOP BECAUSE
DONALD TRUMP PRESENTS A ABSOLUTE
ACCIDENTAL THREAT TO EVERYTHING
THIS TOWN WORKS IN THE WAY THE
SOUND OPERATES.
OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S NO EVIDENCE
WHATSOEVER THAT THE INAUGURAL
COMMITTEE HAS BEEN UNDER DONALD
TRUMP WAS BOUGHT OFF OR ANYBODY
PAID ACCESS TO BE A PART OF IT.
IT'S LIKE THE SCENE IN
CASABLANCA WHEN THE DETECTIVES
WINNINGS ARE PROVIDED AND MY
GOODNESS, PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
PAYING FOR ACCESS IN THE SOUND
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LOBBYING.
LOU: THERE IS NO DOUBT THE
CORPORATE AMERICA WOULD BE
ESCORTED OUT OF TOWN IN
HANDCUFFS AND DOING PURPLE WALKS
BECAUSE THAT'S ALL THEY DO IS
SPEND MONEY TO BUY INFLUENCE.
>> EXACTLY.
IT'S ALL THEY'VE EVER DONE.
SUDDENLY, YOU GET SOME CROOK AND
SOME TERRIBLE LAWYER LIKE
MICHAEL COHEN AND E-MAILS OR
RECORDED CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN
HIM AND SOMEONE ELSE AND WANT TO
MAKE A FEDERAL CASE OUT OF IT
WHICH IS FINE.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS AND THE
FACT REMAINS YOU STILL HAVE A
GUY LIKE MICHAEL COHEN - BY THE
WAY, HOW IS HE STILL A BOY OR?
THE PRESIDENT MAKES A GOOD POINT
ABOUT THIS.
LOU: HE NEEDS ALL THE STANDARD
OF CONDUCT.
>> HE WILL LOSE HIS LICENSE NOW
THAT HE'S PLED GUILTY TO THESE
CRIMES.
>> WILL HE?
LOU: THEY DID NOT MOVE TOO
QUICKLY ON THAT.
>> AT THE VERY LEAST HE PROVIDED
TERRIBLE ADVICE TO HIS CLIENT
BECAUSE BY HIS OWN ADMISSION IN
THE WAY HE HANDLED THIS WAS AN
ABSOLUTE VIOLATION OF EVERYTHING
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DOING FOR
THE PRESIDENT.
LOU: VERY QUICKLY - HARMEET
DHILLON VERY QUICKLY, WE'VE GOT
ALL THE FOLKS IN THE FBI,
CORRUPT, POLITICALLY CORRUPT AND
WE'VE GOT JUST A LEGION OF
EVILDOERS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPOSED
PRIMARILY AS A RESULT OF THE
HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE AND
SOME CREDIT GOES AS WELL TO THE
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL AT
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
THERE'S NOT A SINGLE SOLITARY -
WHAT HAPPENED TO CONFERENCES FOR
FUSION GPS FOR CUSTOMER STEEL
AND THE AUTHOR OF THE FRAUDULENT
DOSSIER IN THE COLLUSION WITH
THE DNC AND HILLARY CAMPAIGN?
HARMEET DHILLON WHERE ARE THE
CONSEQUENCES FOR BEING INSIDIOUS
AND AWFUL AND A LAWBREAKER?
>> LOU, THE DIRTY SECRET IS AT
THE BEGINNING OF THIS AND
MINISTRATION ADVISERS TO THE
PRESIDENT GAVE HIM VERY, VERY
BAD LEGAL ADVICE ABOUT THE
LAWYERS TO HIRE AROUND HIM
INCLUDING THE PARTING OF JUSTICE
AND OTHERWISE.
DOJ WAS STAFFED WITH PEOPLE WHO
WERE ADVERSE TO THE PRESIDENT
AND PEOPLE LIKE GEORGE CONWAY,
WHO IS ONE THE MOST VIRAL AND
CRITICS OF THE PRESIDENT ON
TWITTER WITH SOMEONE WHO THEY
ADVISED HIM TO HIRE.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU
PUT THE PEOPLE IN PLACE
UNFORTUNATELY THE PRESIDENT
CAN'T INTERVENE IN THE
INVESTIGATION AND FIRE THEM
WITHOUT RISKING OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED AND MAYBE
MOVING ON WITH ROD WAS ASSIGNED
SHOULD HAVE DECENCY TO RESIGN
HIMSELF BUT DID NOT.
LOU: THE PERTINENT QUESTION THEN
IS WHAT?
WHY HASN'T THE PRESIDENT
DECLASSIFIED ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS
