OUR NEXT GUEST HERE TONIGHT HAS
VIEWED WHAT HE SAYS IS THE
DISTURBING DOCUMENT THAT THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO SEE,
AND HE WANTS THAT MEMORANDUM
RELEASED STRAIGHTAWAY.
JOINING US FROM THE REPUBLICAN
RETREAT IN WEST VIRGINIA,
COMMITTEES.
AND HE'S CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE
FREEDOM CAUCUS.
THESE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS HERE,
THIS IS GETTING UGLIER BY THE
MOMENT WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE
ON THE WAY TO TRANSPARENCY, THE
RELEASE OF THE MEMORANDUM
STRAIGHTFORWARDLY.
>> WELL, IT IS GETTING YOU LIRE.
BUT THE OTHER PART -- IT IS
GETTING UGLIER.
I HAVE BEEN CALLING ON IT ALONG
WITH A NUMBER OF MY COLLEAGUES.
JIM GORDON HAS AN OBLIGATION TO
INFORM CONGRESS WHEN THERE HAS
BEEN FISA ABUSES.
SUBPOENA AND THREAT OF CONTEMPT
TO PRODUCE THE DOCUMENT.
OMISSIONS?
LET'S PUT ALL THE DOCUMENTS OUT
THERE.
IF THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
PEOPLE SHOULD BE CONCERNED
LET'S PUT ALL DOCUMENTS OUT
THERE.
I DON'T THINK THEY WANT THAT
EITHER.
WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS
TONIGHT, THEY HAVE GRAVE
CONCERNS?
ABOUT CANNOT CONTINUE.
AND NOW IS THE TIME FOR
TRANSPARENCY, LOU.
LOU: I THINK NEARLY EVERY
AMERICAN WOULD AGREE WITH YOU
CERTAINLY.
I WOULD SAY ALL AMERICANS WOULD,
BUT WE DON'T LIVE IN THAT TIME
AND AGE IN WHICH WE'LL HAVE
UNANIMITY OF VIEW.
IT STRIKES ME THAT THIS IS
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S DIRECTOR OF
THE FBI NOW.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A MAN PUT
IN THAT JOB BY THIS PRESIDENT,
AND HE HAS THE EFFRONTERY TO GO
AGAINST HIS PRESIDENT, OUR
PRESIDENT?
THERE IS IN THIS GOVERNMENT AS
YOU WELL KNOW, A HEAD OF STATE
AND A HEAD GOVERNMENT.
I'M STUNNED WHAT WE ARE WITNESS
FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, THE
IGNORANCE OF ITS AS AND THE
IGNORANCE OF THE WORDS FROM THE
HEAD OF THE FBI.
>> AS CRAFTS RELATIONSHIP WAS --
AT CATHERINE WAS JUST REPORTING,
THEY HAD 90 MINUTES TO GO OVER
AND SAY ARE THERE ANY FACTUAL
CONTINUE ACCURACIES IN THIS
MEMO?
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY COULD
NOT FIND ANY FACTUAL INACROSS A
IS.
TO SUPPORTS -- EE EVEN
TO SUPPORTS -- ENCEVEN
TO SUPPORTS -- ENCOUEN
TO SUPPORTS -- ENCOURAGED OUR
COLLEAGUES.
THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN
DOCUMENT.
AMERICANS SHOULD BE CONCERNED
ABOUT.
LOU: WE ARE JUST RECEIVING WORD
BY THE WHITE HOUSE REVIEW, BY
PROFESSIONAL MEMBERS OF THE FBI,
WERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE TO MEET
WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN
KELLY AND TO GO THROUGH THAT.
DESPITE KELLY'S EFFORTS, JOHN
ROBERTS REPORTS, TO ALLAY THE
CONCERNS FROM THE FBI, THE FBI
RELEASED THAT STATEMENT TODAY
SAYING THERE WERE OMISSIONS AND
THEY OPPOSED THE MEMO'S RELEASE.
THE STATEMENT ROBERTS REPORTS
HAS LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE
SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS AS TO
WHAT THE FBI AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE ARE UP TO.
I CAN MAKE AN INTERJECTION AND
SAY WHAT THEY ARE UP TO.
FROM THE VIEW OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> WELL, ONE COULD DRAW THAT
CONCLUSION, LOU.
WHEN YOU SEE WHAT THIS ACTUALLY
IS ALL ABOUT IS NOT ABOUT
DIVULGING ANY TIMES OF SOURCES.
THIS IS ABOUT TRANSPARENCY AND
WHAT WENT ON AND SHOULD HAVE
GONE ON.
I CAN TELL YOU I HAVE BEEN
CALLING FOR A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR
TO INVESTIGATE THIS.
THE SCALE OR LADY JUSTICE PEOPLE
FROM BEHIND THAT BLIND FOLD.
LET'S GET A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.
BUT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN
FORTHCOMING.
WE HAVE BEEN REQUESTING
DOCUMENTS ON THE OVER$SIGHT AND
GOVERNMENT REFORM COMMITTEE FOR
MANY MANY WEEKS.
AND WE HAVE GOTTEN LESS THAN
2,000 DOCUMENTS OF 1.2 MILLION
DOCUMENTS.
IF THEY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
OMISSIONS, THEY HAVE PART OF
THAT RESPONSIBILITY.
LOU: A SUBSTANTIAL PART WHENNER
IN TELLING THE COMMITTEE WITH
OVERSIGHT, AING LONG WITH
HELL.
AND THERE IS IN OTHER WAY TO
DOING.
MY FIRST RODEO.
WE'LL BE TENACIOUS AND WE'LL
LOU: CONGRESSMAN MARK MEADOWS,
