DAVID: BREAKING NEWS IN LAST
HOUR WE'RE TOLD ATTORNEY GENERAL
BILL BARR GIVING A 9:30 A.M.
EASTERN PRESS CONFERENCE
TOMORROW.
AND PRESIDENT NOW SAYING HE MAY
BE TAKING QUESTIONS AFTER THAT.
JOINING US, TO DISCUSS FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR FORMER INDEPENDENT
COUNSEL KEN STARR, THANK YOU.
WHAT WOULD YOU ASK THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ABOUT THE REPORT?
>> WHY HAVE YOU REDACTED?
THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION.
I THINK THAT BILL BARR IS A VERY
ABLE AND THOUGHTFUL LAWYER,
EXPERIENCED, SERVED AS ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF UNITED STATES UNDER
PRESIDENT BUSH 41.
HE WILL SAY IN HIS LAWYER LIKE
FASHION, I AM THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES, I
MUST FOLLOW THE LAW.
AND HERE IS THE LAW.
AND LAW REQUIRES HIM TO REDACT
GRAND JURY INFORMATION, NATIONAL
SECURITY INFORMATION AND DOES
NOT WANT TO INTERFERE WITH ON
GOING INVESTIGATIONS.
I THINK THAT FOURTH CATEGORY
WILL BE INTRIGUING ONE.
TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ON THE
PERIPHERY.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE 4TH CATEGORY, AND I
EXPECT BILL BARR TO ACQUIT
HIMSELF VERY ABLEY, HE IS SMART.
I REPORTED TO HIM WHEN I WAS
SERVING IN JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,
BILL -- ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR
BECAME ATTORNEY GENERAL UNDER
BUSH 41.
THE ATTACKS ON BILL BARR ARE
JUST OFF BASE.
THEY ARE UNFAIR.
>> THAT RIGHT, MR. STARR, BARR
DOZEN
DOESN
DOES -- ENJOY BIPARTISAN
RESPECT.
WHAT ABOUT THE SPYING
ALLEGATIONS, WILL WE HEAR
ANYTHING MORE.
>> I AM SURE THERE WILL BE
QUESTIONS, YOU WILL KNOW BETTER
THAN I DO WHAT JOURNALISTS MAY
WANT TO KNOW.
I APPLAUD, I SURELY PEOPLE WILL
WANT TO KNOW HOW ALL THAT CAME
TO BE.
WHY DID WE HAVE A SPECIAL
COUNSEL INVESTING
COUNSEL INVESTIGATION.
WE HAD REPORTS, BUT WE JUST HAD
REPORTS, LET'S GET TO THE BOTTOM
OF THIS.
IF I AM CARTER PAGE, I AM
GETTING SPIED ON.
RIGHT.
YOU ARE NOT.
THERE IS COURT AUTHORIZED
SURVEILLANCE YOU DON'T KNOW
ABOUT.
IT IS A LITTLE BIT AND I
UNDERSTAND WORDS DO COUNT.
SOME WORDS ARE HARPER
SOME WORDS ARE HARDER SOUNDING
THAN OTHERS, BUT REALITY, THAT
WE ARE SPYING ON CARTER PAIN AND
OTHERS CONNECTED WITH TRUMP
CAMPAIGN.
HERE IS A BE ONE OF THE
STRONGEST INDICTMENTS THAT I
HAVE SEEN.
LET'S FIND OUT.
WHY WAS WANT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
NOTIFIED?
WHAT IS WHAT BILL BARR TESTIFIED
TO, WHY DIDN'T YOU NOTIFY THE
CAMPAIGN?
WHY NOT NOTIFY RUDY GULIANI AND
CHRIS CHRISTIE.
>> THIS STEVE FORBES, ONE THING
THAT YOU KNOW THIS REPORT IS A
HUMILIATION FOR MUELLER IN SENSE
HE DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING, HIS
DIMES
INMES
INDIS
INDICTMENTS HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH RUSSIA THEY WERE PERIPHERAL
TO THAT.
BUT OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, LILY
I THINK THAT BARR IS RIGHT, BUT
HOW IS HE GOING TO HANDLE THAT
WITH DEMOCRAT SAY OH, THE
PRESIDENT OPENED HIS MOUTH THAT
IS A OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
>> THAT WILL BE A NICE SOFT
PITCH DOWN MIDDLE OF THE PLAY
FOR BAIL
FOR BILL BARR, HE HAS THROUGHOUT
IT THROUGH.
WELCOME TO WASHINGTON, YOU GET
CRITICIZED.
HIS MEMORANDUM IN MARCH, A YEAR
AGO, TO THE JEFF SESSIONS, HE
ANALYZED THOUGHTFULLY AND
CAREFULLY THE OBSTRUCTION YOU OF
JUSTICE STATUTE, THEN IN OUR
CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER WHERE THE
PRESIDENT STANDS.
I DO THINK THAT I AGREE WITH
BARR MEMORANDUM, WHAT YOU SEE
TOMORROW, I THINK WHEN THERE ARE
QUESTIONS, IS A PERCENT --
PERSUASIVE TO FAIR MINDED PEOPLE
PEOPLE.
>> ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT
MUELLER REPORT, SOUNDS LIKE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN
INVESTIGATION INTO THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
THE MULURE REPORT
THE MUEURE REPORT
THE MUELLE REPORT
THE MUELLERREPORT
THE MUELLER RPORT
THE MUELLER REPRT
THE MUELLER REPORT COMING OUT
TOMORROW THERE IS NO QUESTION IN
MY MIND IT WILL SHOW UNETHICAL
BUT NOT ILLEGAL -- BY THE
PRESIDENT.
HE MIGHT WIN ANOTHER ELECTION.
I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GET TO INTO
THIS INVESTIGATION OF DEMOCRATS
IN MUELLER REPORT.
>> WELL, EASILY, THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO SAID HOW DID THIS
COME TO BE, IMONE OF THOSE WHO
SAID IT.
WAS POWER MISUSED?
DID THE FBI -- I MEAN FBI LEAD
EBB SHIP, I SAY TIME AND AGAIN,
I ADMIRE MEN AND WOMEN OF FBI,
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TERRIFIC
HONEST PEOPLE, BUT SOMETHING
EXTRAORDINARY HAPPENED IN
AMERICAN HISTORY, A PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN WAS INVESTIGATED
WITHOUT, REPEATING MYSELF,
WITHOUT INFORMING CHRIS CHRISTIE
AND RUDY GULIANI THAT IS WAYS
THAN ODD.
>> DO YOU THINK WE'LL GET THE
JUSTIFICATION OF DEPUTY ATTORNEY
GENERAL TO DO THIS
INVESTIGATION, USUALLY HAD HAS
TO BE A SPECIFIC CRIME WHAT WAS
JUST CASE LED ROD ROSENSTEIN TO
USE THIS.
>> THAT IS FAIR, WE DON'T HAVE
ANSWERS, BUT WE HAVE, ROD
ROSENSTEIN, I HOLD IN HIGH
REGARD, REFERRING TO BACK TO JIM
COMEY'S MARCH 2017 TESTIMONY
BEFORE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE, YOU GO BACK TO THAT.
YOU HAVE TO UNPEAL THE ANION,
YOU SEE THERE WERE STATEMENTS BY
COMEY ABOUT CRIMES THAT MAY, MAY
HAVE BEEN COMMITTED.
IN CONNECTION WITH THE RUSSIAN
-- WE'LL CALL IT RUSSIAN
CONNECTION.
DAVID: A QUICK QUESTION, YOU ARE
WORRIED THAT MORE THAN JUST
MR. MUELLER.
HE HAD A BIG STAFF, WE KNOW THAT
A NUMBER OF THOSE PEOPLE ON HIS
STAFF WERE ANTI-TRUMP.
ONE OF PETER STRZOK BEFORE THEY
FOUND HIS MEMOS, ARE YOU
CONCERNED THAT OF THAT
STAFF MAY HAVE SOME OF THEIR
BIAS SHOW IN WHAT IS RELEASED.
>> I AM.
I AM NOT JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS,
LET'S WAIT AND SEE, BUT I WILL
SAY, HISTORY DOES HAVE LESSONS
FOR US.
WHEN I CAME UNDER VERY SERIOUS
CRITICISM, MANY YEARS AGO, I
RETAINED SAM DASH LEGENDARY
WATERGATE FAME, HE APPROVES SAM
DASH APPROVED EVERY WORD IN THE
STARR REPORT.
NOW, I HOPE THAT BOB MUELLER
WHEN HE TESTIFIES WILL SAY, I
WANT AMERICAN PEOPLE TO KNOW, I
AM FULLY AWARE OF THE POLITICAL
LEANINGS OF MY STAFF, HERE IS A
CHECK AND A BALANCE I PUT IN
PLACE.
I THINK THERE WILL BE EVERY
LEGITIMATE INTEREST IN SAYING TO
BOB MUELLER, YOU ARE A GREAT
MAN, A PATRIOT, A MARINE ESEMPER
FI, DID YOU AGAINST THE
POSSIBILITY OF AT LEAST
APPEARANCE OF BIAS.
>> I'M SORRY.
JUDGE STARR HONORED TO HAVE YOU
ON, ASK YOU ABOUT BOB MUELLER,
EXPECTATIONS OF THIS REPORT HAVE
BEEN EXTREME OF BOTH SIDES, THAT
IT WOULD TAKE DOWN PRESIDENT TO
OTHER EXTREME THAT A WISH
OTHER EXTREME THAT A WITH
OTHER EXTREME THAT A WITCH-HUNT,
IT WILL LAND SOMEWHERE IN
MIDDLE, WHERE DO YOU THINK
LEGACY OF ROBERT MUELLER LANDS
AFTER THIS REPORT.
>> I THINK IT WILL BE MIXED
BECAUSE HE PUNTED ON THE
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE ISSUE,
ABOUT SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID, I'M
NOT IMPRESSED BY THE CHARGES OF
OBSTRUCTION BASED ON WHAT I
KNOW, WE'LL SEE WHAT THE REPORT
REVEALS.
BUT I THINK THAT AMERICAN PEOPLE
SHOULD STEP BACK AND SAY, WHY
DID WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR TWO
YEARS TO FIND THAT THERE WAS NOT
PROOF OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO
CALL IT OF COLLUSION.
AND MY MANTRA HAS BEEN.
WHY DID WE GO DOWN THIS ROAD,
THAT IS NOT ROBERT MUELLER'S
FALL BABY EVEN NOT ROD
ROSENSTEIN'S FAULT.
IF IS THE WAY WE HANDLE THESE
QUESTIONS GOING TO PRESIDENTIAL
INTEGRITY, THAT IS WHAT CONGRESS
