WEEKS OVER WHETHER TO APPROVE
THE AFFIDAVIT THAT JUSTIFIED THE
RAID.
>> Todd: LET US BRING IN ACTING
ATTORNEY GENERAL MATT WHITAKER.
YOU HAVE BEEN IN CHARGE OF THE
DOJ AND FILED AFFIDAVITS IN
CASES, SHOULD THE DOJ RELEASE
THE AFFIDAVIT?
>> Matt: GOOD MORNING, IN A
TYPICAL CASE, YOU WOULDN’T
RELEASE THE AFFIDAVIT UNTIL
CHARGES ARE FILED.
IN THIS CASE, IT IS DIFFERENT
AND MERRICK GARLAND TOOK WEEKS
TO DECIDE TO EXECUTE THIS SEARCH
WARRANT AND ONE CONSIDERATION
HAD TO HAVE BEEN HOW IT WOULD
PLAY WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
IN THIS CASE, THIS AFFIDAVIT
NEEDS TO BE RELEASED, THIS
INVESTIGATION HAS RUN ITS
COURSE, THEY OBTAIN DOCUMENT AND
NO FURTHER STEPS CAN I IMAGINE
THEY WILL TAKE BASED ON THE
CRIMES THEY ALLEGE TO BE
INVESTIGATING.
BASED ON EVERYTHING, IT IS TIME TO RELEASE THIS AFFIDAVIT IN
TO RELEASE THIS AFFIDAVIT IN
ABUNDANCE FOR THE DESIRE OF
TRANSPARENCY.
>> Carley: THE FBI SAYS THERE IS
INCREASE IN THREAT OF VIOLENCE
TO AGENTS.
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS I
WILL DO WHAT I CAN TO HELP THIS
COUNTRY, THE TEMPERATURE HAS TO
BE BROUGHT DOWN IN THIS COUNTRY,
IF IT ISN’T, TERRIBLE THINGS
WILL HAPPEN. HE SAID FBI AGENTS
COULD HAVE PLANTED EVIDENCE IN
HIS HOME.
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE
STATEMENTS?
>> Matt: THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS
RIGHT, THE TEMPERATURE NEEDS TO
BE LOWERED, THREATS ARE NOT
ACCEPTABLE, POLITICAL VIOLENCE
IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE.
WE NEED A COUNTRY WHERE RULE OF
LAW IS APPLIED EVENLY TO
EVERYONE, NO MATTER ORDINARY
CITIZEN OR WHETHER YOU ARE
DONALD J. TRUMP.
IN THIS CASE, THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE AND FBI NEED TO TAKE
STEPS TO LOWER THE TEMPERATURE
AND A LOT IS TRANSPARENCY,
TALKING ABOUT INVESTIGATION LIKE
THIS, WHY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
AMERICAN HISTORY, SEARCH WARRANT
EXECUTED ON A FORMER PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES.
WHEN THAT UPON HAS, WE WILL HAVE
THE TEMPERATURE LOWERED.
>> Todd:S PETER STRUCK IS
DEFENDING THE AGENCY, TAKE A
LISTEN.
>> ABSOLUTELY THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC SHOULD TRUST THE FBI.
THE FBI IS NOT TARGETING ONE
SIDE OR THE OTHER, THEY ARE
INVESTIGATING ALLEGATIONS OF
LAW.
>> Todd: THIS TEXT EXCHANGE
BETWEEN TRUCK AND LISA PAGE, HIS
LOVER, PAGE SAYING TRUMP WILL
NEVER BECOME PRESIDENT, RIGHT?
STRUCK REPLIED, HE WON’T, WE
WILL STOP IT.
PETER STRUCK SAYS NOTHING TO SEE HERE, YOUR TAKE, MATT?
HERE, YOUR TAKE, MATT?
>> Matt: THIS IS A RED HERRING,
HE IS THE GUY THAT LED AN
INVESTIGATION INTO THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES WHEN THERE
WAS PREDCASION OR EVIDENCE THAT
DONALD TRUMP HAD A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.
STRZOK IS GIVING AWAY THE GOODS,
THERE ARE SOME AT THE FBI THAT
BELIEVE DONALD TRUMP IS A
CRIMINAL AND THEY WILL PURSUE
THIS CASE AS MUCH AS THEY
POSSIBLY CAN AND THAT BIAS AND
THAT DESIRE TO GET TRUMP NO
MATTER WHAT THAT HAS COLORED A
LOT OF SIX YEARS AT THE FBI AND
UNTIL THEY ARE WILLING TO DO
WORK ABOVE THE BOARD WITHOUT
POLITICAL INFLUENCE, WE WILL
HAVE TROUBLE LIKE WE HAVE NOW IN
THIS CASE.
>> Carley: HAVE TO WONDER HOW WE
GOT HERE WITH THE FBI, AN AGENCY
THAT SHOULD BE UNBIASSED.
