>> Carley: A FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS
HE IS INCLINED TO MAKE PORTIONS
OF THE TRUMP AFFIDAVIT RAID
PUBLIC GIVING A WEEK TO MAKE
SUGGESTED REDACTIONS.
THIS IS STILL RAISING CONCERNS
OVER TRANSPARENCY. >> THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE
>> THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
THIS AFFIDAVIT FROM THE END?
>> GOSH, TODD, I SURE HOPE SO.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT WE NEED IT RIGHT NOW IN OUR COUNTRY.
RIGHT NOW IN OUR COUNTRY.
OBVIOUSLY I’M HAPPY TO HEAR WELL
HE WILL LET IT BE RELEASED ONCE
THE FBI ALL THE REDACTIONS.
GOING TO REAL ESTATE AMERICANS
WITH DISABILITIES ACT QUITE A
BIT OF WILL I GETS TO PLAY IT
BOTH WAYS MAYBE THIS WAS ALL
MESSED UP FROM THE BEGINNING.
MAYBE MISTAKES MADE BY THE FBI
AND THEY DON’T WANT THE
AFFIDAVIT AFTER ALL RELEASED TO
THE PUBLIC TO SHOW THAT SO THEY
OBVIOUSLY GET TO PLAY THE LONG
GAME HERE.
I’M SURE THEY WILL TRY TO DRAG
IT OUT AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
IT’S ALL A SHAME BECAUSE IT
STILL LOOKS TO SO MANY AMERICANS
LIKE THIS WAS A TARGETED
POLITICAL ATTACK ON DONALD
TRUMP.
IT DOESN’T HELP US CLEAR UP ANY
QUESTIONS AT THIS POINT.
AMERICA STILL REMAINS IN THIS
VERY, YOU KNOW, UNSETTLED STATE,
I THINK RIGHT NOW.
AND I HOPE WE GET TO SEE MORE
INFORMATION BUT NO, TODD, MY
CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW AT THIS
POINT THAT WE’LL GET ANYTHING AT
ALL.
>> BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH THAT
WE DON’T KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A
SERIES OF MEDIA LEAKS.
ONE OF THEM WAS THAT THE DOJ WAS
AFTER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO
NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE THAT SAID
THAT THE FBI WAS ACTUALLY
LOOKING FOR TRUMP’S PERSONAL
STASH OF DOCUMENTS THAT HAS
SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RUSSIA
INVESTIGATION, THAT TRUMP COULD
WEAPONIZE IN THE FUTURE.
WHAT’S YOUR REACTION TO THOSE
TWO THINGS?
I WILL TELL YOU CARLEY IT’S
INTERESTING BECAUSE ALL THESE
DRIPS, MEDIA LEAKS THAT YOU SEE,
THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO
WERE LEAKING THE INFORMATION
DURING OF THE RUSSIAN COLLUSION
HOAX.
ISN’T IT INTERESTING HOW THEY GO
TO THE SAME FOLKS TO GO TO THE
MEDIA TO SPREAD DISINFORMATION
AGAIN.
AND YOU CAN MAKE OF THAT
INFORMATION WHATEVER YOU WANT.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY
FATHER-IN-LAW HAS MAINTAINED
THAT EVERYTHING THAT HE TOOK
FROM THE OVAL OFFICE WAS
DECLASSIFIED.
HE HAD A RIGHT TO TAKE ALL OF
THE INFORMATION.
THEY WERE WORKING TOGETHER WITH
THE FBI, WITH THE NATIONAL
ARCHIVES.
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
SO THERE IS NO RATIONALE IN
ANYBODY’S MIND, AT LEAST ON MY
FATHER-IN-LAW’S TEAM THAT ANY OF
THIS SHOULD HAVE OCCURRED IN
THIS MANOR.
I DON’T SURPRISE IT SURPRISING
GETTING LEAKS OF INFORMATION.
THEY ARE TRYING TO CONTROL THE
NARRATIVE.
WE KNOW WHAT THE GOAL IS ON
THEIR SIDE.
UNFORTUNATELY THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE NEED FULL TRANSPARENCY TO
BE ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN
DECISION HERE.
AND WE SHOULD KNOW THAT WE CAN
TRUST OUR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
OUR FBI IN AMERICA.
RIGHT NOW IT DOESN’T FEEL THAT
WAY.
>> Todd: OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS GO
AFTER TRUMP NARRATIVE.
THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING.
THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR
YEARS NOW.
BUT, SPECIFICALLY IN THIS
CONTEXT.
WITH REGARD TO THE AFFIDAVIT AND
THE WHOLE CYA APPROACH, DO YOU
THINK THEY ARE EMBARRASSED THE
JUICE WASN’T WORTH THE SQUEEZE
ON THIS ONE AND THAT’S WHY THEY
ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT THE
INFORMATION COMING OUT?
>> ABSOLUTELY, TODD.
I THINK THAT THIS WHOLE THING
FROM THE BEGINNING, THEY
OVERPLAYED THEIR HAND.
I THINK THEY WERE HOPEFUL THEY
WOULD GET INTO MAR-A-LAGO AND
MAYBE THERE WOULD BE A TREASURE
TROVE OF INFORMATION FROM DONALD
TRUMP, MAN COULD THEY REALLY
TAKE HIM DOWN NOW.
THEY DIDN’T FIND ANYTHING WHEN
THEY RIFLED THROUGH THROUGH
MELANIA’S CLASS.
THEY DIDN’T FIND ANYTHING THEY
WERE LOOKING FOR.
NOW THEY ALL HAVE EGG ON THEIR
FACE.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE
TRYING TO BACKTRACK, CLEAN UP,
DO ANYTHING THEY CAN TO SALVAGE
THEMSELVES AT THIS POINT BECAUSE
YOU CAN’T LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED
AND SAY, MAN, MISTAKES WERE MADE
HERE, SOMEBODY MESSED UP.
IT IS PRETTY OBVIOUS TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT THAT’S THE
CASE.
>> Carley: WELL, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR
THAT HE WANTS THIS AFFIDAVIT
RELEASED.
THE DOJ DOES NOT.
SO THE JUDGE SORT OF SPLIT IT IN
THE MIDDLE BUT WE’RE JUST GOING
TO HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE EXACTLY
HOW MUCH WE GET OUT AND THEN THE
JUDGE CAN GO BACK, LOOK AT THE
REDACTIONS, MAKE SOME OF HIS OWN
AND THEN THEY CAN APPEAL THAT SO
THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG DRAWN
OUT PROCESS.
LARA, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
