APPROACHES OUR DAY WITH INHERENT
BIAS, INCLUDING THOSE AT THE
FBI.
JUST ADMIT IT.
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW DEMOCRATIC
STRATEGIST KEVIN WALLING,
AMERICAN MAJORITY CEO NED RYUN.
NED, YOUR REACTION TO WHAT YOU
HEARD THUS FAR FROM MR. STRZOK?
>> BEING ASKED TO SUSPEND MY
DISBELIEF, SOMEHOW PETER STRZOK
IS PURE AS DRIVEN SNOW, SUPER
POLITICAL BIAS AT ALL IN HIS
TEXTS.
WITH UTTER CONTEMPT AND DISDAIN
WHETHER IT IS JAMES COMEY,
WHETHER ANDREW McCABE, WHETHER
IT IS PETER STRZOK, LISA PAGE,
BECAUSE THEYI THINK THEY LET IT
BECOME POLITICAL.
I THINK THEY LOST SIGHT OF
SOMETHING EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THEY
LOST SIGHT OF EQUAL JUSTICE
UNDER THE LAW.
I DO NOT BELIEVE HIM.
I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT HE IS
SAYING.
I BELIEVE HE WAS ABSOLUTELY
BIASED.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TAKING
PLACE HERE, TRISH, I'M VERY
GREATFUL THIS IS OPEN SETTING
UNDER OATH, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
DESERVE TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY AND IF THEY CAN
NOT GET IT THROUGH CONGRESSIONAL
HEARINGS, IF ROSENSTEIN AND
OTHER PEOPLE AT THE DOJ AND FBI
REFUSE TO GIVE CONGRESS WHICH
HAS OVERSIGHT OF THE DOJ AND FBI
WHAT THEY WANT, DONALD TRUMP,
THROUGH AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
SHOULD CALL FOR RADICAL
TRANSPARENCY, THAT EVERYTHING
AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN FULLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS TAKING
PLACE BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT
RESTORE TRUST IN THE DOJ AND THE
FBI UNLESS THERE IS A LOT MORE
TRANSPARENCY.
QUITE FRANKLY WITH TODAY'S
HEARING, I'M NOT SURE WE'RE
GOING TO GET TO THAT POINT.
>> KEVIN?
>> SURE, TRISH.
I COULDN'T AGREE WITH NED MORE.
I THINK WE NEED MORE
TRANSPARENCY IN ALL THIS.
WHY YOU'RE SEEING THE HOUSE
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS ON THE TWO
COMMITTEES PUSH FOR THE
TRANSCRIPTS OF THAT 11-HOUR
CONVERSATION WITH PETER STRZOK
DEFEND PETER STRZOK.
HE IS DOING AIM MICKABLE JOB OF
THAT OVER THE NEXT FIVE HOURS --
TRISH: DO YOU BELIEVE HIM?
DO YOU BELIEVE HIM?
>> ABSOLUTELY I BELIEVE HIM.
MORE IMPORTANTLY --
TRISH: I'M NOT BIASED AT ALL?
DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING?
>> MORE IMPORTANTLY I BELIEVE
THAT THE INDEPENDENT IG REPORT
THAT WAS A YEAR-AND-A-HALF IN
THE MAKING OF PROFESSIONAL
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PEOPLE,
AND CLEARED THAT OF ANY
POLITICAL BIAS.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT THOUGH?
TRISH: THAT AND SOMETHING I I
CAN SELL YOU --
>> YEAR-AND-A-HALF, 500 PAGES,
TRISH.
>> IF YOU'RE WILLING TO BELIEVE
THERE IS NO BIAS IN THIS, I HAVE
OCEANFRONT PROPERTY IN ST. LOUIS
SOON.
TRISH: KEVIN, THINK YOU'RE BEING
A LITTLE NAIVE.
I THINK IT IS VERY CLEAR HOW A
LOT OF PEOPLE FELT ABOUT THIS
PRESIDENT WHEN HE WAS RUNNING
FOR OFFICE.
>> SURE.
TRISH: A LOT OF PEOPLE IN D.C.
FELT THAT WAY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE FBI FELT
EXIST.
>> SURE.
TRISH: FOR HIM TO GET UP THERE,
SAY, NO BIAS, FOR YOU TO DEFEND
THAT, ARE YOU REALLY THAT NAIVE?
>> TRISH, HERE IS ALL I'M GOING
STRZOK.
HE IS DOING THAT AMICABLY IN
THIS HEARING.
ONE OF THE MOST REVEALING PARTS
OF HIS TESTIMONY HE KNEW THINGS
I.E., PAPDOPOULUS, ALL THE
UNFORTUNATE CONVERSATIONS THAT
TOOK PLACE BEFORE THE ELECTION.
HE DIDN'T GO TO THE PRESS.
HE DIDN'T RELEASE THAT
DEFENSE, I THOUGHT, THIS IS.
OF GOSSIP, RIGHT --
>> IT IS NOT GOSSIP.
HE WAS LEADING AN INVESTIGATION.
TRISH: YOU REMEMBER THE WHOLE
REPORT THAT KICKED ALL THIS
STUFF OFF WAS FINANCED BY THE
CLINTON CAMPAIGN.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
TRISH: AND THAT'S WHAT THE FBI
IS USING SO PROUD OF THE FACT
I MEAN, THAT'S THE DEFENSE THEY
HAVE GOT, NED?
WE GO BACK TO WHERE THIS ALL
ORIGINATED, TRUMP RUSSIAN
COLLUSION FAIRYTALE HOAX --
>> IT IS NOT A FAIRYTALE.
>> FAKE DOSSIER.
TRISH: NOT A FAIRYTALE?
>> YEARS OF INVESTIGATION, AFTER
GO YEARS OF INVESTIGATION, TELL
ME AGAIN, GIVE ME PROOF OF
COLLUSION.
SENSE TEST AFTER TWO YEARS, DO
YOU THINK JOHN BRENNAN AND JAMES
CLAPPER, JAMES COMEY, THEY HAD
EVIDENCE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
LEAKED TO VERY COMPLIANT PRESS.
>> THEY'RE LETTING PROCESS PLAY
OUT.
LAST WORD TO NED.
I HAVE TO RUN.
>> THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE
FILLED WITH COMMON SENSE.
THEY CAN SEE BIAS.
THEY UNDERSTAND BIAS WHEN THEY
SEE IT.
>> THEY SIGH IT IN THE HOUSE
LEADERSHIP.
THEY SEE IT IN THIS HEARING WITH
THE REPUBLICANS.
>> SPIRITED DISCUSSION.
