KNOW THROP IS ONE OF THE HOUSE
INTEL COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO HAVE
READ THE MEMO ON FISA ABUSE AND
HE IS DEEPLY DISTURBED.
>> I THINK THAT WE ARE -- I'LL
USE ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S LINE.
CAN LONG ENDURE.
IF WE DON'T CORRECT OUR WRONGS,
IF WE THE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
OVERSIGHT AND THE PEOPLE DON'T
GET TOF OVERSIGHT WITH MEMBERS
OF CONGRESS, THAT'S A PROBLEM.
KEEP PLUGGING AWAY.
I THINK THAT TRANSPARENCY -- HOW
ARE WE EVER GOING TO DEVELOP
TRUST IF WE CAN'T BE FRANK WITH
THE TIME FOR TRUST.
JOINING US IS A FORMER MEMBER
AND CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE, JASON
CHAFFETZ.
YOU CALLED FOR REPUBLICANS TO
BUT FIRST I WANT TO GET TO THE
THEY'RE GOING TO
HOURS OF MITCH McCONNELL
SAYING THEY WILL TRY AT 10:00
TONIGHT?
>> WELL, I LIKE THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO VOTE.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU
PUT PEOPLE ON THE RECORD.
NOW THAT YOU SEE PEOPLE LIKE
HEIDI HIGH CAMP AND JOE MANCHIN
AND OTHERS, THEY'RE REALIZING
THAT SHUTTING DOWN THE
GOVERNMENT, WHAT IT WILL DO TO
THE CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE, WHAT
IT DOES TO THE WHOLE OF
GOVERNMENT, ALL OF THE
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES, THIS IS
NOT A GOOD MOVE.
ALL THE REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE
THAT IS ENTIRELY REASONABLE.
I DON'T THINK THEY CAN WIN THIS
ON THE MERITS.
I THINK THE DEMOCRATS TAKE A BIG
HIT ON THIS ONE.
LOU: I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
WITH THAT FOUR-PAGE MEMORANDUM
THAT THE HOUSE INTEL COMMITTEE
HAS CIRCULATED NOW, AT LEAST
AMONG THE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTION
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTIO-
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTIOT
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTIOE
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTIOA
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTIOE
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTIOI
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTIOA
AND DIVERTING AMERICAN ATTENTION
PEOPLE'S ATTENTION FROM IT.
LET'S TURN TO THAT.
TODAY YOU SENT A TWEET TO TREY
GOWDY AND JIM JORDAN AND YOU
SAID THIS, SINCE YOU HAVE A
COLD, IT'S OKAY TO RELEASE THE
MEMO #RELEASETHEMEMO.
JASON OBVIOUSLY REFERRING TO
DIANE FINE
DIANNEFINE
DIANNE FNE
DIANNE FEINSTEIN AND HER RELEASE
OF THE ENTIRE TESTIMONY OF
FUSION GPS.
SO I WOULD SAY, FIRST OF ALL,
THAT WAS A VERY CLEVER TWEET AND
IT'S
INCITES THE IMAGINATION OF
>> WELL, IT'S ONLY FOUR PAGES.
EVERY MEMBER OF THE HOUSE ON
THEY OUGHT TO GO IN AND READ IT.
THEN THERE WILL COME A POINT
WHERE DEVIN NUNES CAN CALL FOR A
VOTE TO HAVE IT RELEASED.
WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD, HAVING NOT
HEARD IT OR SEEN THE DETAILS, IS
THAT THERE IS CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION IN THERE.
YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL IN
HOW YOU COTHAT.
DO THAT.
BUT THE SPIRIT OF OPENNESS AND
TRANSPARENCY IS SOMETHING THAT
IS OBVIOUSLY WRONG.
YOU SEE PEOPLE ON CAMERA WHO
HAVE READ IT AND THEY'RE LIKE
VISIBLY DISTURBED BY IT.
I SAW THE REACTION FROM MARK
THESE ARE SEASONED PEOPLE WHO
TALKING TO TREY GOWDY AND
OTHERS, I GOT TO TELL YOU, IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT.
AND THE OTHER QUESTION I DON'T
HEAR ANYBODY ASKING IS WHAT IS
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DOING ABOUT
IT.
YOU DON'T NEED A HOUSE PANEL TO
UNCOVER THIS.
WE NODE
WE KODE
WE KNOE
WE KNOW THERE'S AN INSPECTOR
GENERAL REPORT.
BUT WHAT IS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
HIMSELF DOING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
JUST WALK AWAY FROM THIS.
LOU: AS OUR AUDIENCE I'M SURE
RECALLS, YOU ARE AMONG THOSE WHO
HAVE SAID THAT THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL SESSIONS SHOULD RESIGN
MUCH PROGRESS IS BEING MADE IF
HE IS WORKING.
AND ONE THAT DOES NEED
ANSWERING.
BUT FOR THAT MATTER, THE ENTIRE
ODOR THAT SURROUNDS THE TOP
ECHELONS OF OUR JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT AND THE FBI IS SUCH A
STENCH NOW, USED TO WORK AT THAT
STENCH NOW, USED TO WORK AT THAI
THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE A HOUSE
WAS A CAREER FBI AGENT.
I GREW UP THINKING THAT G MEN
AND THE FBI AND THE SECRET
SERVICE, THEY WERE JUST HEROS.
THEY WERE ABOVE EVERYBODY.
THEY JUST WERE MEN OF INTEGRITY.
AND I THINK THE OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY OF THEM ARE.
BUT YOU'RE SEEING THE MANAGEMENT
MAKING SOME DECISIONS AND ACTING
IN A WAY THAT IS IMMATURE
THEY'VE LOST THAT TRUST OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET THAT
BACK IS TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY
VERY BROKEN AGENCY.
AND NOBODY HAS THE CONFIDENCE IN
THIS -- TREY GOWDY POINTS OUT
THAT THE DEMOCRARS WERE THE
THAT THE DEMOCRATS WERE THE ONES
WHO WANTED TO BRING UP DIRECT DR
WHO WANTED TO BRING UP DIRECT DC
WHO WANTED TO BRING UP DIRECT DO
WHO WANTED TO BRING UP DIRECT DR
COMEY.
NOW THEY SWING AND SAY OH MY
GOSH, ME MIGHT BE THE HERO OF
THIS THING.
SHOULDN'T HAVE SUCH SWINGS.
IT SHOULD BE DEFINITIVE.
LOU: I THINK THAT IN ALL, IN ALL
CONSIDERATION OF THE FACTS THAT
JAMES COMEY HAS SO MUCH TO
ANSWER FOR THAT I THINK IT'S
GOING TO BE A LONG TIME BEFORE
HE'S INVOLVED IN ANYTHING OTHER
THAN ANSWERING QUESTIONS
HOPEFULLY UNDER OATH.
