>> THAT IS THE KEY.
>> FURTHER REACTION ON THIS.
WE HAVE FORMER ACTING ATTORNEY
GENERAL ALONG WITH ATTORNEY --
LET’S GO TO MATTHEW FIRST.
A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION,
BUT NO REAL SPECIFICS.
IT ALLOWS FOR LOCATIONS TO BE
SEARCHED INCLUDED THE 45, ALL
OTHER ROOMS OR AREAS USED OR
AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO BE USED BY
THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES AND HIS STAFF.
IT COULD BE STORED INCLUDING ALL
STRUCTURES AND BUILDINGS.
THIS OPENS THE DOORS FOR AGENTS
EVERYWHERE.
>> THEY WENT ALL OVER MAR-A-LAGO
, INCLUDING THEIR
PRIVATE RESIDENCE AND THE
PRESIDENTS OFFICE AT MAR-A-LAGO.
WHAT THEY FOUND IS VERY
INTERESTING.
ELEVEN CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
I THINK WHAT THIS CASE WILL BOIL
DOWN TO IS TRYING TO CHARGE
PRESIDENT TRUMP TWO THINGS.
DID HE HAVE KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS
WAS CLASSIFIED OR THAT HE
POSSESSED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
BECAUSE THAT IS THE STANDARD.
DID HE DECLASSIFY THIS WHILE HE
WAS PRESIDENT?
HE DID SEVERAL TRANCHES OF
DECLASSIFICATION WHILE HE WAS
PRESIDENT.
>> AS YOU MENTIONED, THEY
COLLECTED SOME 20 BOXES AND
PHOTOS ALONG WITH IT ALONG WITH
DOCUMENTS THAT INCLUDE
CLASSIFIED.
VARIED CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS, CAN
YOU BREAK DOWN WHAT THAT
ACTUALLY MEANS AND IS THAT
SIGNIFICANT?
>> THE HIGHEST CLASSIFICATION.
TOP-SECRET, SPECIFICALLY SPECIAL
COMPARTMENTALIZED WHICH MEANS
THAT THOSE ARE INDIVIDUAL
PROGRAMS THAT ARE READ INTO IT
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER
CLEARANCE, YOU CANNOT DO
ANYTHING.
IT DOES NOT MEAN IT HAS NOT BEEN
DECLASSIFIED.
BASED ON WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS BEEN CHEERING ON SOCIAL
MEDIA, THAT IS WHAT IT BOILS
DOWN TO.
HE BELIEVES THEY ALL WERE.
I THINK THAT THAT DEFEATS ANY
KNOWLEDGE REQUISITE.
IT POINTS TO THE FBI COULD HAVE
MAYBE THOUGHT A LITTLE BIT MORE
AND TRY TO RESOLVE THIS WITHOUT
EXECUTING THIS.
>> THIS IS REALLY UNPRECEDENTED
TO HAVE A FORMER PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES THAT COULD BE
THE ACTUAL OPPONENT OF THIS
CURRENT PRESIDENT AND HAVE THIS,
YOU KNOW, RAID HAPPEN OF HIS
HOUSE.
SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT.
DOES THIS SET A NEW PRECEDENT?
>> IT DOES.
IT DEMONSTRATES HOW OUT OF TOUCH
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS
WITH HOW THIS WAS RECEIVED AFTER
THE NEWS WAS ANNOUNCED.
YOU SAW THE OUTRAGE THAT POURED
OUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
YOU SEE THAT A LOT OF FOLKS
THINK THE FBI AND DOJ HAS LOST
ITS WAY.
THERE IS A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF
JUSTICE.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT HILLARY
CLINTON’S CASE, SAME EXAMPLE.
SHE DID NOT HAVE THE REQUISITE
KNOWLEDGE.
PRESIDENT TRUMP BELIEVED THAT
THE INFORMATION HE HAD WAS
DECLASSIFIED AND THE CASE IS
OVER.
BEFORE THEY GET TO THAT
THRESHOLD, HE DID NOT EVEN KNOW
THAT HE HAD IT.
THE GSA IS THE ONE THAT PACKED
UP HIS OFFICE AND CREATED THESE
RECORDS AND BOXES IN THE FIRST
PLACE.
>> THIS IS NANCY MACE TODAY.
LISTEN TO THIS.
>> THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE.
YOU SELL MAYOR GARLAND DOING
DAMAGE CONTROL YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON.
HILLARY CLINTON BATHROOM WAS
NEVER RATED AND SHE HAD A
PERSONAL SERVER, PRIVATE SERVER
WITH CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ON
IT.
HIS HOME WAS NEVER RATED AND HE
STOLE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION
FROM THE NATIONAL ARCHIVE.
NOW HIS PANT LEG IN AND OUT OF
THE BUILDING.
THE LEFT DOES NOT HOLD THEIR
SIDE ACCOUNTABLE ON ANY OF THESE
ISSUES.
>> YOU ALLUDED THIS TO SOME OF
THOSE CASES THERE.
IN THE LAST 30 SECONDS OR SO.
THE PRESIDENT THAT IT SETS, YOU
CANNOT UNDO THIS.
PRESIDENT DOWN THE ROAD WILL NOW
HAVE TO WATCH IT DARKLY WHAT
HAPPENED WITH THEIR
ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEXT
ADMINISTRATION, AREN’T THEY.
>> DON’T FORGET ABOUT GENERAL
PETRAEUS AS WELL.
GOING TO THIS ISSUE.
YOU HAVE RELEASED FORCES THAT
YOU WILL NOT TOTALLY APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL EXPECT
THIS TIT FOR TAT.
OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN HAVE A TEAR TO
-- TWO-TIERED SYSTEM.
>> WE WILL LET YOU COVER THIS
FROM ALL ANGLES.
LET’S BRING IN THOMAS DUPREE.
THOMAS, JULY 5, 2016 JAMES COMEY
OUTLINED HOW HILLARY CLINTON HAD
EIGHT E-MAILS I FALL INTO THE
TOP-SECRET CLASSIFICATION.
THERE WAS NO RAID, THOUGH.
IS THIS A DOUBLE STANDARD?
>> IT CERTAINLY RAISES THESE
QUESTIONS.
WE HAVE TO HAVE A ONE TIERED
SYSTEM OF JUSTICE IN THIS
COUNTRY.
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT
HILLARY CLINTON WAS MISHANDLING
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION, EVEN IF
SHE LAWFULLY HAD INFORMATION TO
SHE WAS NOT HANDLING IN THE
PROPER WAY.
LOOK, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE
COULD BE DIFFERENCES,
DIFFERENCES IN SCALE AND
DIFFERENCES IN INTENT.
THIS IS JUST A DIFFERENT
SITUATION WHERE IT IS MORE AGREE
JUST.
I THINK ANY AMERICANS ARE
LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING WAIT
A MINUTE, ISN’T THIS THE SAME
THING WE JUST WENT THROUGH WITH
HILLARY CLINTON AND LOOK HOW
THAT TURNED OUT.
>> TAKING A STEP BACK, MAYOR
GARLAND WAS DENIED A VOTE TO
BECOME A SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
BY SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL.
NOW WE ARE SEEING ATTORNEY
GENERAL GARLAND TARGETING
CONSERVATIVES.
TALKING ABOUT THE TASK FORCE AT
INVESTIGATE PARENTS AT THE PTA
MEETING.
LACK OF MOVEMENT ON THE CASE
AGAINST HUNTER BIDEN.
IS THERE AN INHERENT BIAS?
>> THE GREAT IRONY HERE, OF
COURSE IS THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA
NOMINATED HIM TO THE SUPREME
COURT BECAUSE PRESIDENT OBAMA
THOUGHT HE WOULD BE ATTRACTIVE
TO CONSERVATIVES.
THAT IS KIND OF THE IRONY HERE.
THIS IS A GUY WHO CAME IN
FAMOUSLY SAYING HE WAS GOING TO
RESTORE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,
ELIMINATE ANY PARTISAN BIAS AND
THAT WHEN HE DOES THIS, FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE, WANTED THE BIG
MISTAKE THAT HE DID NOT GET IN
FRONT OF THIS.
IT TOOK HIM DAYS TO COME OUT AND
MAKE THE PUBLIC STATEMENT THAT
HE DID.
>> IT LETS PEOPLE GET THEIR
EMOTIONS GOING.
POSTING A POLL ON TWITTER ASKING
AMERICANS IF THEY AGREE OF THE
RADON TRUMPS MAR-A-LAGO HOME.
78% DISAPPROVE.
IT SHOWS THE NORMATIVE STEPS
THIS RAID WAS IN THE MINDS OF
AMERICANS.
>> THAT IS THE THING.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, GOLD
STANDARD HISTORICALLY IN TERMS
OF ITS INTEGRITY, DOING
EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS
MAYOR GARLAND SAID IN MY VIEW TO
ADDRESS THE NATION.
HE HAD TO HAVE KNOWN THE
FIRESTORM THAT EXECUTING THIS
WOULD CREATE.
THIS PUBLIC BLOWBACK AND THE
PUSHBACK AND THE QUESTIONS COULD
NOT POSSIBLY HAVE TAKEN HIM OR
THE ADMINISTRATION AS A WHOLE AS
A SURPRISE.
I’M A LITTLE PERPLEXED THEY WERE
NOT BETTER PREPARED FOR THAT.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
