BARR.
THROUGH.
LOU: JOINING US, FORMER ACTING
U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, MATTHEW
WHITAKER.
LET'S START WITH THE HOUSE UNDER
DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP OBVIOUSLY,
LAUNCHING A PARTISAN ATTACK
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT IN THE
GUISE OF A QUOTE END QUOTE
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.
THE IDEA THERE WOULDN'T BE
REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATION, THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PRESIDENT TO
BE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL, FOR
THIS TO BE A PARTISAN ASSAULT ON
A PRESIDENT IS UNPRESS DIDN'TED.
>> WE WOULD EXPECT THE HOUSE
VOTE TO BE A PARTISAN VOTE.
THIS IS AGAIN THE LEGAL
TRADITIONS OF OUR COUNTRY.
THE HOUSE IS UNWILLING TO MAKE
ITS MEMBERS RECORD THEIR VOTE.
THAT'S AN INTERESTING ISSUE IN
AND OF ITSELF.
THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FOLLOW
PRECEDENT FROM PREVIOUS
IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS.
FRANKLY, THIS WAITS APPEARS TO
BE, WHICH IS A COMPLETELY UNFAIR
AND PARTIAL PROCEEDING THAT WILL
CONCLUDE WITH CHERRY PICKED
FACTS THAT MAKE THE PRESIDENT
LOOK BAD WHICH ARE INCONSISTENT
WITH WHAT HAPPENED.
WE HAVE THE EVIDENCE.
WE HAVE SEEN THE MUELLER REPORT
AND THE CALL TRANSCRIPT.
IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME AS A FORMER
PROSECUTOR, AND IT'S CLEAR TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHICH
DECLINED THESE CASES.
THIS IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME
AND THERE ARE SO OTHER THINGS
THEY COULD BE WORKING ON.
LOU: SOME OF THESE REPORTERS IN
THE DEEP STATE FORGET THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE RULED
THERE WAS NOTHING IMPROPER WERE
THAT PHONE CALL WHATSOEVER.
YET THEY PROCEED.
THERE IS SOMETHING DEFINITELY
IMPROPER FOR MOST OF AMERICANS
INTERESTED IN FAIR PLAY WHETHER
THEY ARE A SUPPORTER OF THIS
PRESIDENT OR NOT.
ON ITS FACE, THE IDEA KIT WOULD
BE A WHISTLELE BLOWER IN SECRET
WHO HAPPENS TO BE A CIA
OFFICER -- THIS AN
IMPOSSIBILITY.
THE IDEA ALTHOUGH WE HAVE THE
CALL TRANSCRIPT.
WE'LL PUT A WHISTLEBLOWER ON.
OFFSITE.
OBSCURE THEIR VOICE ANSWER
ESSENTIALLY GIVE ADAM SCHIFF'S
VERSION OF THE FACTS.
HIS INTERPRETATION OF THE CALL.
WE SHOULD EXPECT MORE OF THAT.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THE ONES I
TALK TO IN REAL AMERICA
INCLUDING PLACES LIKE MY HOME
STATE OF IOWA.
THEY KNOW WHAT THE HOUSE SHOULD
BE FOCUSED ON.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD MAKE A
POSITIVE DIFFERENT FOR IOWANS.
LOU: THEY WANT TO REMOVE HIM
FROM OFFICE AND REFUSE TO GIVE
HIM EVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SERVE THE NATION WITH A
COMPLETED DEAL.
IT'S A COMPLETE NEGOTIATED
AGREEMENT THAT REQUIRES ONLY THE
HOUSE TO MOVE FOR IT TO BECOME
LAW.
THIS PRESIDENT IS GETTING THINGS
DONE.
LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN 50 YEARS.
GREAT ECONOMY.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM WAS
PASSED.
THIS PRESIDENT IS MOVING FORWARD
WITH HIS AGENDA IN SPITE OF WHAT
THE HOUSE IS DOING.
LOU: THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IN
FRONT OF A FEDERAL JUDGE SEEKING
TO BLOCK THE HOUSE FROM GETTING
GRAND JURY TESTIMONY FROM THE
MUELLER WITCH HUNT.
IT'S -- THE JUDGE MAKING CLEAR
TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
ATTORNEYS THAT PRECEDENT IS ON
THE SIDE HERE OF RELEASING THEM
BECAUSE AS SHE POINTS OUT,
IMPEACHMENT PER SE IS CONSIDERED
A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING, BUT THIS
IS NOTHING LIKE ANY PROCEEDING
BEFORE IT TRYING AN IMPEACHMENT
INQUIRY OF A PRESIDENT.
>> THE LAW IS CLEAR, GRAND JURY
PROCEEDINGS AND TRANSCRIPTS AND
EVIDENCE COLLECTED AS PART OF A
GRAND JURY CAN ONLY BE RELEASED
AS PART OF THE JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING.
THERE IS NO WAY UNDER THE LAW
THAT STAYING IN THE HOUSE HAVING
VOTED ON TO START COULD BE
CONSIDERED A JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING.
THIS IS SOMETHING AMERICANS ARE
FRUSTRATED WITH OUR COURTS AND
THE SYSTEM OF JUSTICE.
THEY CAN READ THE LANGUAGE OF
THE LAW AND THE WAY IT'S
INTERPRETED IS COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT.
LOU: I THINK AMERICANS ARE NOT
ONLY FRUSTRATED -- AND WE ARE
LOOKING AT A LOT OF POLLS HERE
ABOUT THEIR CONFIDENCE IN THE
PRESIDENT OR THE SO-CALLED
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY.
I THINK THOSE POLLS ARE
NONSENSE.
THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT RIGHT NOW
DOES NOT TRUST ITS JUDICIARY
SYSTEM.
IT DOESN'T TRUST THIS
LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM AS LED BY
PELOSI, SCHUMER, AND THE BUNCH.
THIS IS A TIME OF I THINK
