IT’S TIME THE SWAMPLE REALLY AND TRULY BE DRAINED.
THAT’S TONIGHT’S INTEL.
KT McFARLAND, GOOD TO SEE YOU
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. DOES THIS SEEM FAIR TO YOU.
>> NO.
>> NO. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS.
I WAS GENERAL FLYNN’S DEPUTY.
GENERAL FLYNN WAS SET UP BY THE
SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE NOW BEING
SOMEBODY LIKE McCABE, PERHAPS
BRENNAN, WHO KNOWS.
BUT THE REAL THING TO WATCH IS
THE FACT THAT AS YOU JUST
POINTED OUT, ATTORNEY GENERAL
BARR DOESN’T TRUST HIS OWN
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ENOUGH TO
GIVE A FAIR ASSESSMENT OF WHAT
HAPPENED WITH FLYNN.
HE HAS TAKEN AN OUTSIDE COUNSEL
TO REVIEW.
TO REVIEW. THE DURHAM REPORT, JOHN DURHAM
IS LOOKING AT THE ORJIFNT
INVESTIGATORS.
INVESTIGATORS. WHAT WERE THEY TRYING TO DO?
WERE THEY SETTING UP FLYNN?
WERE THEY SETTING UP TRUMP?
WERE THEY SETTING UP ALL THE
PEOPLE AROUND TRUMP?
IF SO WHO DID IT AND WHY DID
THEY DO IT.
THAT ONE MAYBE HAPPENS THIS
SUMMER.
SUMMER. THAT COULD SHAKE THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND THE FBI,
SHAKE IT TO ITS ROOTS.
TRISH: IT’S DISTURBING TO SEE
THIS PLAY OUT.
JUST GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE
MUELLER THING AND COME OUT 2 1/,
3 YEARS LATER, THERE WAS NO
THERE THERE.
THERE THERE. A WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY.
THEN YOU HAVE THE OTHER
INVESTIGATIONS GOING ON.
YOU FEEL MICHAEL FLYNN WAS SET
UP.
UP. WHAT DOES THIS TELL YOU ABOUT
EFFECTIVELY THE SWAMP, THE DEEP
STATE.
STATE. I KNOW YOU WERE THERE AND SAW A
LOT OF IT FIRSTHAND.
AND YOU WERE ALSO THERE, I
BELIEVE, DURING THE NIXON
ADMINISTRATION AS WELL?
WHAT HAPPENED OVER THAT TIME
FRAME?
FRAME? DID IT JUST GET WORSE AND WORSE?
>> IT’S NOT THE DEEP STATE AS
MUCH AS IT’S THE BROAD STATE.
THE PROFESSIONAL BUREAUCRATS.
THEY DIDN’T LIKE DONALD TRUMP.
WHEN WE WALKED INTO THE WHITE
HOUSE NECESSITY LOOKED AT US
LIKE AN ALIEN INVADING ARMY.
SOMEONE CAME INTO MY OFFICE AND
SAID THERE IS A TRANSCRIPT OF
GENERAL FLYNN’S CONVERSATION
WITH THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR AND
THE "WASHINGTON POST" HAS THE
TRANSCRIPT.
TRANSCRIPT. >> I HAD THE HIGHEST SECURITY
CLEARANCE THERE WERE AND I
DIDN’T KNOW IT EXISTED.
WHAT WAS THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMUNITY DOING HANDING THAT
OVER TO "THE WASHINGTON POST."
TRISH: WE KNOW THIS NOW BECAUSE
HE TOLD INVESTIGATORS AND WE
HAVE THE READOUT OF THAT
MEETING.
MEETING. HE SAID YEP YEP THAT WAS ME.
I DID.
I DID. THE IDEA THAT THEY ARE OUT THERE
HANDING THIS TO THE "WASHINGTON
POST," THE "NEW YORK TIMES" OR
ANY OTHER OUTLET THAT WILL
LISTEN TELLS YOU THE STORY OF AN
ACTUAL COUP, KT.
>> I THINK THERE WERE PEOPLE AT
THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY POTENTIALLY EVEN THE NATIONAL
SECURITY COUNCIL AND THE OBAMA
WHITE HOUSE WHO WERE SETTING
THIS UP.
THIS UP. I WAS THERE JANUARY 6 WHEN THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY, WE CALL
THE FOUR CHIEFS WHO BRIEFED
PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP.
PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP. AND THAT’S WHERE COMEY HANDED
TRUMP PARTS OF THE STEELE
DOSSIER.
DOSSIER. THIS WAS A SETUP FROM THE
BEGINNING BY PEOPLE WHO DIDN’T
THINK HE WOULD WIN AND ONCE HE
ONE, THEY WANTED THE LEAK.
TRISH: THEN IT WAS AN EXCUSE TO
GET INTO THE WHOLE STEELE
DOSSIER.
DOSSIER. >> THAT’S WHAT STARTED THE
RUSSIA INVESTIGATION, THE
MUELLER REPORT, THE RUSSIA HOAX.
ALL THIS STARTED WITH THE POISON
SAUCE FRUIT OF PEOPLE IN THE
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WHO
DECIDED TO GET TRUMP AND THE
WEAKLING WAS FLYNN.
I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE SOMEBODY WHO
PLEADED GUILTY TO A CRIME I
DIDN’T COMMIT.
DIDN’T COMMIT. WHEN I WOULDN’T DO IT, THEY WENT
AWAY.
AWAY. IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I EVER
DID.
DID. BUT THEY DETERMINED TRUMP MUST
BE GUILTY OF SOMETHING.
LET’S FIND A CRIME.
TRISH: I KNOW YOU GET INTO THIS
IN YOUR BOOK.
