TRISH: ALL RIGHT.
FOX'S GREGG JARRETT, YOU KNOW
HIM WELL, HE'S GOT A GREAT BOOK,
AND NOW HE'S OUT WITH A PRETTY
EXPLOSIVE NEW CLAIM.
HE SAYS NEWLY-ATTAINED DOCUMENTS
CONFIRM THE FBI, UNDER THE
DIRECTION OF JAMES COMEY, WAS
RUNNING A SECRET AND CORRUPT
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE OPERATE
AGAINST THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN
2016 AND REPEATEDLY DECEIVED THE
FISA COURT IN ORDER TO WIRETAP
TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN ASSOCIATE
CARTER PAGE.
JOINING ME RIGHT NOW TO REFLECT
ON ALL OF IT, BUD CUMMINS.
YOU KNOW, BUD, WHAT I WOULD SAY
ABOUT THIS IS I THINK WE KNOW
THAT THERE WAS SOME MASSIVE FISA
ABUSE.
I THINK'S ACTUALLY AT THIS POINT
KIND OF FACT, RIGHT?
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T EVEN TELL
THE JUDGE IN BOLD PRINT WHAT WAS
GOING ON, AND THEY NEVER
BOTHERED TO VERIFY ANY OF THIS
STUFF THAT THEY WERE GETTING
FROM FUSION GPS, YOU KNOW, WHICH
WAS AN OPPOSITION RESEARCH FIRM,
EFFECTIVELY, AND HILLARY
CLINTON'S TEAM HAD PAID FOR THIS
STUFF.
SO THAT, I WOULD SAY, IS ALL
LOUD AND CLEAR.
AND GREGG HERE IS JUST PUTTING A
BIG HEADLINE ON IT.
HE'S SAYING, IN FACT, ALL OF
THIS AMOUNTS TO A
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE OPERATION
WITHIN THE FBI BEING RUN FRONT
AND CENTER BY JAMES COMEY.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT
ALLEGATION?
>> I AGREE THAT IT'S REALLY
DISAPPOINTING X THE NEW
DOCUMENTS THAT HE'S REFERRING TO
SHOW HOW AFTER THEY DETERMINED
THAT CHRISTOPHER STEELE WAS
LEAKING INFORMATION TO THE
MEDIA -- THEY ALREADY KNEW HE
WAS BEING PAID BY HILLARY.
I MEAN, LET'S KEEP IN MIND,
CHRISTOPHER STEELE WAS AN AGENT
OF HILLARY E : CLINTON.
IF THEY'D --
TRISH: A FOREIGN AGENT, BY THE
WAY.
A FOREIGN AGENT.
>> WHO WAS ALSO WORKING -- A
FOREIGN AGENT WHO WAS ALSO
WORKING WITH, BUYING AND
COLLECTING INFORMATION FROM
FOREIGN AGENTS --
TRISH: INCLUDING RUSSIANS!
>> YOU'D HAVE TO THINK --
INCLUDING RUSSIANS.
YOU WOULD HAVE TO THINK THAT THE
JUDGE WOULD HAVE LOOKED AT THOSE
APPLICATIONS DIFFERENTLY.
IT'S A MURKY AREA OF THE LAW.
AN AGENT, THE FBI OFFICIALS, THE
DOJ, THEY'RE NOT REQUIRED TO
TELL THE JUDGE EVERY SINGLE
THING THEY KNOW ABOUT A CASE,
BUT THEY HAVE TO TELL THEM
THINGS THAT ARE MATERIAL AND
REALM HAVEN'T TO THE
APPLICATION.
RELEVANT TO THE APPLICATION.
AND IT SEEMS PRETTY DANG CLEAR
THEY DIDN'T DO THAT.
THE QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, I
DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT ALL THE
REMEDIES HERE ARE, BUT THE FISA
COURT NEEDS TO POLICE THIS, AND
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW IF THEY'VE
DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR IF
THEY INTEND TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT
IT, AND I'M NOT SURE WE'LL EVER
KNOW, BECAUSE IT'S A SECRET
COURT.
TRISH: I HEAR YA.
SO JAMES COMEY, IN YOUR VIEW,
WAS HE ACTING QUITE DELIBERATELY
BECAUSE HE HAD A BIAS?
>> IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT
THEY WERE ABLE TO LINE UP THIS
MANY PEOPLE.
SO AFTER STEELE IS FIRED BY THE
FBI, HE CONTINUES TO PASS
INFORMATION ON TO BRUCE OTHER.
BRUCE OHR'S PASSING IT ON TO
PETER STRZOK, STRZOK TO LISA
PAGE, PAGE TO ANDY McCABE.
NOWHERE IN THAT CHAIN DO THEY
FIND AN OBJECTIVE OR
CONSERVATIVE PERSON.
THEY FIND THESE LEFT-LEANING,
BIASED AND, OBVIOUSLY, ARROGANT
AND SELF-RYE HOUSE PEOPLE ALL IN
A LINE.
I ALWAYS SAID FOR THE LAST TWO
YEARS CERTAINLY THERE WAS
SOMEBODY IN THOSE ROOMS THAT
KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WAS
WRONG AND IS GOING TO COME
FORWARD NOW AND EXPLAIN WHAT
THEY SAW --
TRISH: THE ENDS DOESN'T JUSTIFY
THE MEANS, RIGHT, TO THEM?
>> APPARENTLY, THEY WERE ABLE TO
CLEAN HOUSE.
APPARENTLY, THEY WERE ABLE TO
CLEAN HOUSE, EVERYBODY IN THE
ROOM WAS A HILLARY SUPPORTER AND
A LEFT-LEANER OR AN I
INCOMPETENT BUREAUCRAT.
THERE WAS NOBODY WITH ANY COMMON
SENSE AND FAIRNESS IN THE ROOM
THE ENTIRE TIME THEY WERE DOING
THIS.
TRISH: INSANE TO ME THAT YOU
WOULD EVER RELY ON SOME, YOU
KNOW, AGENT OVERSEAS WHO'S
COLLECTING INFORMATION, PAYING
FOR IT, RIGHT?
I'M ASSUMING THAT'S HOW THEY
OPERATE OVER THERE FROM
RUSSIANS, FROM RUSSIAN AGENTS
WHO, BY THE WAY, WERE PROBABLY,
YOU KNOW, CLUEING VLADIMIR PUTIN
IN ON THE WHOLE DARN THING.
MY THINKING IS PUTIN'S GOT
EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS BECAUSE
EVERYBODY'S SITTING THERE GOING,
WAIT A MINUTE, I CAN'T
UNDERSTAND THE U.S. SYSTEM,
RIGHT?
UNDERSTANDABLY.
WHO TRUSTS IT GIVEN ALL THIS?
>> THAT'S THE DISHEARTENING
THING.
WHEN I WORKED FOR THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE 10 OR 15 YEARS AGO,
THEY PUT ME ON THE ROAD TO
DEFEND THE PATRIOT ACT, AND I
WENT OUT AND TOLD PEOPLE WE
NEEDED FISA, THE PATRIOT ACT AND
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE IN
GOOD HANDS AND THAT YOU COULD
TRUST THE PEOPLE THAT HAD THEM.
AND, FRANKLY, I DON'T BELIEVE
THAT ANYMORE AFTER WHAT I'VE
SEEN.
I COULDN'T TELL A GROUP OF
PEOPLE, CITIZENS THAT AND
BELIEVE IT.
AND I THINK A LOT OF OUR TRUST
IN FBI, DOJ, SOME OF THESE
BUREAUCRACIES HAS TO BE REPAIRED
BECAUSE THIS IS AWFUL.
