"KENNEDY."
THE PRESIDENT REVEALED WHETHER
HE PLANS TO FIRE ROBERT MUELLER
AFTER A WEEKEND OF SPECULATION
HE COULD DO SO BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
WATCH.
>> NO, I AM NOT, NO.
KENNEDY: ACCUSATIONS THAT
PRESIDENT'S LAWYERS COULD BE
LAYING A GROUND WORK FOR A
STRATEGY TO GET RID OF THE
JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO TAKING
THE CASE.
IT'S DISCONCERTING TO HEAR
PERHAPS THERE WAS OVERREACH IN
OBTAINING THE THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF EMAILS.
HOW DID ROBERT MUELLER'S TEAM
GET THEM IN AND THERE IS
SOMETHING HERE THAT DESERVES
MORE SCRUTINY?
>> IT'S DISCONCERTING TO HEAR
ALLEGATIONS OF OVERREACH WHEN
THERE WAS NONE.
ROBERT MUELLER CAN'T SUBPOENA
ANYTHING.
ONLY A GRAND JURY CAN.
A FEDERAL PROSECUTOR HAS TO
TESTIFY UNDER OATH WHY THEY NEED
WHAT THEY NEED.
KENNEDY: SOME OF THE TACTICS
USED TO INTERROGATE PEOPLE LIKE
MICHAEL FLYNN, THEY DON'T COME
FROM SUBPOENAS.
ABOUT.
KENNEDY: THE GSA EMAILS WE ARE
LEARNING ABOUT THIS WEEKEND ARE
DIFFERENT THAN THE EMAILS
>> GENERAL FLYNN WAS QUESTIONED
ON THE BASIS OF TRANSCRIPTS OF
FIVE CONVERSATIONS HE HAD WITH
AMBASSADOR KISLYAK.
REALLY KGB COLONEL KISLYAK
THAT BOB MULE PER SOMEHOW
INAPPROPRIATELY OBTAINED
DOCUMENTS FROM THE GSA THAT
BELONGED TO THE TRANSITION TEAM.
KENNEDY: THAT'S A VALID
QUESTION.
ARE THESE PRIVATE EMAILS?
>> IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S THE DUTY OF THE CUSTODIAN
OF THE DOCUMENTS.
DOCTOR, LAWYER, BANKER OR GSA,
TO INFORM THE OWNER OF THE
DOCUMENTS THAT A SUBPOENA HAS
ARRIVED.
DIES, YOU CAN GO TO THE JUDGE
YOUR BANK RECORDS AND YOUR BANK
FAILING TO GIVE YOU THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CHALLENGE WHAT
WAS PRESENTED.
THIS IS NOT A SEARCH WARRANT
WHERE THEY COME AND GRAB
IMMEDIATELY.
THIS IS A SEEN A WHERE THE
CUSTODIAN OF THE DOCUMENTS HAS
10 DAYS TO TWO WEEKS TO GATHER
THE DOCUMENTS.
KENNEDY: THE TRUMP TRANSITION
TEAM IS SAYING WE WERE CAUGHT
FLAT FOOTED.
PRESIDENT, MAKING AN INTERESTING
STORY MUCH, MUCH BIGGER IN ORDER
TO GET RID OF MUELLER?
IS THAT THE ULTIMATE GOAL?
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS
LAWYER.
BUT THE TRUSTEE OF THE
TRANSITION.
THE TRANSITION WENT OUT OF
BUSINESS THE MOMENT DONALD TRUMP
WAS INAUGURATED.
I THINK THAT THE WRITER OF THE
LETTER -- I DON'T WANT TO DEFAME
HIM, IS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE WAY
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE WORKS.
GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS, CUSTODIAN
DAYS UNLESS YOU GET A JUDGE TO
THE BEEF IS WITH THE GSA THAT
FAILED TO TELL THEM FLIPS AN
UNDERLYING STORY HERE.
WANT TO TALK TO.
FOR SURE THOSE PEOPLE DID NOT
SNOW KNOW AT THE TIME OF THOSE
INTERVIEWS THAT THE INTEREST
VIEWERS HAD SEEN THEIR EMAILS.
WERE THOSE EMAILS A EARNING ARE
YOU TRAP AS I THINK IT
INTERROGATION OF GENERAL FLYNN
WAS.
WAS THE PURPOSE TO TRAP THOSE
PEOPLE TO GET THEM TO LIE TO THE
FBI TO SQUEEZE THEM TO GIVE
INFORMATION ON THE PRESIDENT.
KENNEDY: THE OTHER THING THAT
TROUBLES ME ABOUT THIS.
I HAVE NO INTEREST IN PROTECTING
PRESIDENCY HAS GROWN TOO FAST
AND POWERFUL.
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM CON
STRANGE THAT AND CALLING TRUTH
TO POWER.
MY PROBLEM IS YOU ARE VIRALLANS
IS BEING MISUSED AND THIS GOES
ON FOR SO LONG AND TAKES SO MUCH
RESOURCES AND THERE IS NO
ARM OF THE GOVERNMENT TO REACH
IN AND GET WHATEVER IT WANTS BY
ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
>> UNTIL A CERTAIN YEAR, IT WAS
THE SUBPOENA.
CUSTODIAN OF THE RECORDS DIDN'T
HAVE TO TELL YOU.
IN THIS CERTAIN YEAR THEY
CHANGED IT SO THE GOVERNMENT
THE FEDS TO PROSECUTE RATHER
THAN CIVIL LIBERTIES TO BE
DEFENDED.
KENNEDY: I DON'T CARE IF I
SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD.
WE HAVE TO BE FINDSFUL OF OUR
CIVIL LIBERTIES.
>> OF COURSE WE'VE DO.
DON'T RELY ON OUR PROSECUTORS TO
BE MINDSFUL OF OUR CIVIL
LIBERTIES.
THEY WANT TO WIN PROSECUTIONS.
KENNEDY: WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR
BASIC NATURAL RIGHTS THAT ARE
ERODED.
>> EVERY TIME THERE IS AN
NOBODY WILL BE PROSECUTED.
DON'T EXPECT FBI AGENTS TO BE
CHOIR BOYS, THEY ARE NOT.
IF THEY WERE CHOIR BOYS, THEY
WOULDN'T BE FBI AGENTS.
KENNEDY: BUT WE ARE NOT ALL
CRIMINALS, AND THAT'S HOW WE ARE
TREATED.
>> MUELLER'S JOB IS TO GATHER
EVIDENCE TO INDICTER DISPEL.
IN THIS CASE HIS PROCEDURE WAS
PERFECTLY ACCORDING TO FEDERAL
PRACTICE TODAY.
KENNEDY: I CAN'T IMAGINE ROBERT
MUELLER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING TO
SEE HERE.
>> THEY WILL SAY HAVE IS NOTHING
TO SEE WITH RESPECT TO THE
PRESIDENT, BUT WE INDICTED OTHER
PEOPLE.
WHO KNOWS.
THIS IS NORMALLY A PROCESS THAT
DOESN'T TAKE PLACE UNDER A MIRE
CROW SCOPE IN THE VEAL WORLD
WHEN A PERSON ISN'T INDICTED, WE
DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE
INVESTIGATED.
PROBABLY THE SAME THING WILL
HAPPEN HERE.
KENNEDY: I BLAME KIM KARDASHIAN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, JUDGE.
