PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION YOU

FLORIDA SENATOR MEMBER SENATE
FOREIGN RELATIONS SELECT
INTELLIGENCE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE MARCO RUBIO A
PLEASURE THANK YOU.
>> IF THANK YOU, GOOD MORNING.
>> FIRST, GIVE ME YOUR
REACTION TO THE DNC SO FAR,
WHAT IS YOUR TAKEAWAY.
>> I HAVEN’T WATCHED EVERY BIT
TO BE FRIEFRPG WE HAD ELECTION
IN FLORIDA TUESDAY A LOT OF
IMPORTANT PRIMARIES I HAVE
BATCHED RECAP, EVERY YEAR FOUR
YEARS BOTH PARTIES GET
TOGETHER ALL MOST ACTIVE
WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE GET TOGETHER
TALK BAD ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE.
SO, MY REACTION TO IT IS GOING
TO BE A CLOSE HARD-FOUGHT
ELECTION, I THINK THERE IS
GOING TO BE VERY CLEAR CHOICE
I PERSONALLY DO NOT BELIEVE
JOE BIDEN HAS THE STRENGTH TO
CONFRONT MAJOR CHALLENGES THIS
COUNTRY IS FACING WHETHER
CHINA WHETHER IRAN, WHETHER
NEED TO REBALANCE TRADE
RELATIONSHIPS, AND REBUILD OUR
ECONOMY, AND OF AN INDUSTRIAL
CAPACITY ONCE AGAIN IN THIS
COUNTRY THAT IS STRONGER THAN
WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW GOING
TO TAKE A LOT OF STRENGTH A
LOT OF ENERGY REALLY PUT
BEHIND IT I JUST THINK
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THE ONLY
ONE OF TWO CANDIDATES THAT IS
GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
>> YOU MAKE A LOT OF GOOD
POINTS UNFORTUNATELY, IN THESE
THREE NIGHTS SO FAR YOU HAVE
NOT HAD ONE WORD OF CHINA YOU
HAVEN’T HAD ONE WORD OF CRIME
ACROSS OUR CITIES COUNTRY IN
SO MANY BIGGEST CITIES GLARING
YOU DON’T SEE ANY COMMENTARY
WHATSOEVER ABOUT THIS, I MEAN
YOU OBVIOUSLY, HAVE THE FLOW
OF INFORMATION, CAN YOU GIVE
US A SENSE OF WHERE WE
ARE, FOR EXAMPLE, ON IRAN?
>> AND WHERE WE ARE IN CHINA?
>> WHAT ARE PRIORITIES FROM
YOUR STANDPOINT.
>>IS FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN
COVERAGE VERY LITTLE DISCUSSED
ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY NATIONAL
SECURITY AT ALL LOOK, THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN U.S. AND
CHINA IS GOING TO DEFINE 21st
CENTURY RIGHT OR NOT GOING TO
DETERMINE WHAT KIND OF COUNTRY
WE ARE WHAT COUNTRY OUR
CHILDREN ARE GOING TO HAVE THE
REASON NOT BEING DISCUSSED
FRANK ELIE JOE BIDEN, WAS PART
OF THAT BIPARTISAN CONSENSUS
EXISTED 30 YEARS BELIEF THAT
ONCE CHINA GOT RICH THEY WOULD
HE FOLLOW THE RULES BECOME A
DEMOCRACY IT DIDN’T WORK OUT
WE ARE TAKING A TERRIBLE PRICE
PRESIDENT TRUMP FIRST
PRESIDENT TO CONFRONT THAT
CHALLENGE TAKE IT ON IT IS
SHOCKING ISN’T BEING DISCUSSED
ON ISSUE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING
ACROSS THE COUNTRY, YOU HAVE
VIOLENT MOBS IN THE STREETS
ATTACKING NOT JUST LAW
ENFORCEMENT BUT INNOCENT
PEOPLE HE SOME GUY PULLED OUT
OF A CAV COUPLE DAYS AGO
ALMOST BEATEN TO DEATH YOU’VE
GOT THEM TRYING TO BURN DOWN A
FEDERAL COURTHOUSE
IRRESPECTIVE HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT ISSUES THAT THAT AN
BEING A ARGY DISORDER IN ON
TOLERATED POTENTIALLY
SUPPORTED BY SOME POLITICAL
FIGURES HAS TO BE ADDRESSED NO
COUNTRY CAN BE SAFE RESCUER
THAT ANARCHY DISORDER IN THE
STREETS FOR GLOWSED GLOSS ED
OVER SHOCKING DEVELOPMENT
FIRST THREE NIGHTS.
>> SEEMS LIKE DO-OVER OF 2016
EXACTLY WHAT THEY DID IN 2016
THINKING HILLARY CLINTON WOULD
WIN DIDN’T GO DEEP IN ISSUES
IT IS WALL "IMAGE NOT DONALD
TRUMP SO VOTE FOR ME".
>> THE SENATE INTEL COMMITTEE
FINAL REPORT ON RUSSIAN
MEDDLING 2016 ELECTION FINDING
FBI GAVE UNJUSTIFIED CREDENCE
TO THE STEELE DOSSIER THAT
RUSH DID TAKE ADVANTAGE, OF
MEMBERS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
TRANSITION TEAM, YOUR REACTION
TO FINDINGS INTEL REPORT?
.
>> WELL, LOOK THAT WAS -- OVER
200 INTERVIEWS OVER A MILLION PAGES OF DOCUMENTS, PASSED
PAGES OF DOCUMENTS, PASSED
WITH OVERWHELMINGLY BY YOU BY
PARTISAN MAJORITY, THE THE
POINT FBI PIECE TROUBLING WHAT
YOU HAVE HERE IS A DOCUMENT
PREPARED BY A FOR ENR ROOEG ON
FOREIGN SOURCES NOT VETTED THE
CIA TOLD THE FBI DO NOT RELY
ON THIS DOCUMENT, THIS
DOCUMENT DOES NOT MEET
STANDARDS WE LOOK FOR TALKING
ABOUT GATHERING INFORMATION
RELYING ON IT, IT WAS PIECE
THAT EVERYONE MISSING THEY
WERE SHOPPING THAT DOCUMENT
AROUND IN OCTOBER 2016, AND NO
ONE NOT YOU KNOW TO THEIR
CREDIT I DON’T OFTEN SAY EVERY
OUTLET IN AMERICA TURNED IT
DOWN SAID WE DON’T KNOW WHAT
THAT IS ONLY AFTER FBI KIND OF
GAVE CREDIBILITY RELIED ON IT
TOLD ME WE THINK THERE MIGHT
BE TRUTH YOU SAW IT BEING
REPORTED, PUBLISHED THE WHOLE
THING A FRIGHTENING THING IT
MEANS FROM NOW ON ANYBODY, CAN
HIRE SOMEONE TO GO OUT BE A
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
PREPARE SOME DOCUMENT THAT
THEIR CRIMES HAVE ALL THIS
INFORMATION ABOUT A CANDIDATE
PUT IT OUT THERE IN PUBLIC
DOMAIN BECAUSE SOMEBODY IN A
FEDERAL AGENCY DOESN’T LIKE
YOU, AND YOU DON’T HAVE TIME
TO DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST IT
LATER ON DISPRON BUT TOO LATE
THE ELECTION IS OVER, PERHAPS
THE MOST CONCRETE, FOREIGNER
INTERFERENCE EFFORT IN 2016
OTHER ONES VERY SERIOUS LET
THERE BE NO DOUBT RUSSIANS DID
MEDDLE CONTINUE TO MEDDLE
ALONG WITH IRAN, CHINA THE ONE
WE CAN POINT O TOS HASN’T BEEN
TALKED ABOUT AS FOREIGN
INTERFERENCE WAS THAT DOSSIER.
>> LET ME ASK YOU THIS, I MEAN
THEY DID NOT TELL THE FISA
COURT THAT HILLARY CLINTON AND
DEMOCRATS PAID FOR IT.
DID YOU KNOW THAT EARLY I AM
TALKING EARLY ON 2015 DID YOU
KNOW HILLARY CLINTON PAID FOR
THIS?
>> NO I DON’T THINK ANYONE
KNEW OR O ORIGINS OF IT BEYOND
OF WASN’T IT IS SOURCES RELIED
ON RELYING ON OTHER FOREIGN
SOURCES IN ESSENCE WE MAY
NEVER BE ABLE TO PROVE IT I
CAN TELL YOU AS A FOREIGN
GOVERNMENT DECIDED WE ARE
GOING TO INTRODUCE THIS
INFORMATION INTO A CAMPAIGN,
THIS IS TACTIC THEY COULD USE
TO INTRODUCE TO A CAMPAIGN
WORKING THROUGH SOMEONE THAT
USED WE OFFICIAL IN SOME OTHER
GOVERNMENT AT SOME POINT MAKES
MONEY PUTTING THESE THINGS
TOGETHER PUTTING IT OUT THERE
UNDER VENEER SOME INTELLIGENCE
DOCUMENT THEN YOU’VE GOT FBI
SAYING WE THINK MIGHT BE CELT
CREDIBILITY TO IS THAT IS ALL
THEY NEED YOU CAN’T ALWAYS
DEFEND YOURSELF AGAINST IT
VERY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT FBI
REALLY, REALLY, REALLY THOSE
INDIVIDUALS RESPONSIBLE NEED
TO BE HELD TO ACCOUNT I AM
GLAD SOME ARE STARTING TO BE
HELD INTO ACCOUNT FROM JUSTICE
SYSTEM.
>> DO YOU THINK WOULD WE WILL
SEE INDICTMENT FROM DURHAM.
>> WE DON’T KNOW A CAREER
PROFESSIONAL NOT GOING TO HE
WILL IN IB WHAT HE IS DOING
LEAKING THE WAY OTHER PEOPLE
LIKE TO DO IT WE HAVE SEEN A
COUPLE PEOPLE PLEAD GUILTY I
THINK OBVIOUSLY, MORE WHEN
PEOPLE PLEAD GUILTY TRY TO
DETAIL OFTENTIMES PART IS WE
ARE GIVING YOU INFORMATION
ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DID,
SO I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE
TIMELINE IS I CAN CERTAINLY
TELL YOU SOMETHING LIKE THIS
COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED UNLESS
SOME PEOPLE IN THERE IGNORED
THE ADVICE OF CAREER
INTELLIGENCE PROFESSIONALS
TOLD THEM DON’T USE THIS WE
HAVE NO IDEA WHERE IT CAME
FROM NO REASON TO BELIEVE TRUE
THEY USED IT ANY A REASON THEY
DID THAT WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT
THE REASON WAS WHO WAS BEHIND
IT.
WE ARE STARTING TO FIND OUT.
>> I HAVE GOT A QUESTION I
HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS
FOR A WHILE, BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT BEFORE THEY STARTED
SPYING ON -- ON TRUMP
CAMPAIGN, USING THE DOSSIER TO
TAKE HIM DOWN, THEY WERE
INVESTIGATING THE E-MAIL
SITUATION OF HILLARY CLINTON,
IT WAS REALLY, NO
INVESTIGATION, WE KNOW THAT,
THEY DIDN’T REALLY INVESTIGATE
HER ANY WAY, BUT YOUR
COLLEAGUES SENATOR RON JOHNSON
TOLD ME HE SAW E-MAILS TO
BARACK OBAMA FROM HILLARY
CLINTON, BACK-AND-FORTH WHERE
IT SAID TO THE PRESIDENT FROM
HILLARY HOME SERVER, KNOWING
WHAT WE KNOW, ABOUT HOW CHINA
THAT IS ESPIONAGE CAMPAIGN ON
UNITED STATES, IS THERE ANY
CHANCE IS THERE ANY CHANCE
THAT THE CHINA COMMUNIST PARTY
DID NOT KNOW THAT HILLARY
CLINTON AND BARACK OBAMA WERE
COMMUNICATING ON UNSECURE
SERVER?
>> YEAH I HAVEN’T SEEN THOSE
OBVIOUSLY, I HAVE NO REASON TO
SAY INQUIRY WAS SOMETHING
DIFFERENT WE HAVE NO
JURISDICTION OVER SOMETHING
LIKE THAT HE HAS GOVERNMENT
OVERSIGHT WE ARE INTELLIGENCE
OVERSIGHT YOUR POINT
WELL-TAKEN THAT IS THESE ARE
SOPHISTICATED OPERATIONS HE
ALSO CHINESE YOU HAVE TO
ASSUME IF SENDING E-MAILS HOO
HIGH TARGET FIGURE FROM
PRIVATE FIGURE CHINESE HAVE
ACCESS TO IT TO KNOW WHAT YOU
ARE THINKING OR POTENTIALLY
USE IT HACK AND LEAK OPERATION
CAN USE IT FRANKLY TO
MANUFACTURER E-MAILS PUT ON
YOUR SERVER LEAK THAT STUFF,
AND USE IT FOR INTERFERENCE A
VERY DANGEROUS TIME, LOOK, THE
RUSSIANS PUTIN HAVE BEEN DOING
IT A LONG TIME GOOD WHAT THEY
DO, THEY ARE LARGELY FOCUSED
ON GETTING AT WITH EACH OTHER,
LEAKING US CHINESE GRAVER
THREAT BETTER ANOTHER IT
LARGER HAVE MORE MONEY THE
CHINESE THREAT UNDER STATED
THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
MESS WITH AMERICAN POLITICS TO
TRY TO SHAPE BOTH ELECTS AND
POLICY DEBATES IN THE
DIRECTION, THAT IS FAVORABLE
TO THEM, AND YOU KNOW BEING A
ACCESSING E-MAIL POLITICAL FIR
MOST CERTAINLY SOMETHING THEY
HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF DOING.
>> EXACTLY WHICH IS WHY SO
MUCH MORE OUTRAGEOUS FOR TWO
YEARS THIS DOSSIER GARBAGE
ABOUT TRUMP WAS FLOATED
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY MAKING
EVERYBODY GO NUTS THE QUESTION
ABOUT COLLUSION, AND IN FACT
JUST A LIE, QUICK BREAKING
