JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE PUT THIS
BEHIND US, REMEMBER THAT STEEL
.CA HAS PUT TOGETHER TO BRING
DOWN TRUMP IN THE 2016
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?
IS PUT TOGETHER BY A BRITISH SPY
PUT TOGETHER BY THE CLINTON
CAMPAIGN.
BRING US UP TO SPEED WITH THESE
NEW DOCUMENTS.
>> LET'S BE CLEAR, THIS IS
OPPOSITION RESEARCH.
THE QUESTION IS ALWAYS, HOW DOES
THIS RESEARCH BECOME THE BASIS
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
INVESTIGATION INTO DONALD TRUMP?
IT TURNS OUT WE HAVE FBI
DOCUMENTS THAT SHOW THE STATE
DEPARTMENT WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN
THIS.
THE STATE DEPARTMENT, OF COURSE
RUSSIA KEEPS AN EYE ON OUR
RELATIONSHIP AND VITTORIA
NEWLAND WAS AWARE OF THIS
DOCUMENT AND MAY HAVE BEEN
INVOLVED IN GETTING IT TO THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ASKED THE FBI
TO INVESTIGATE SO --
>> A CONVOLUTED WAY TO GET IT.
>> YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO USE
BUREAUCRATS IN THE STATE
DEPARTMENT TO BASICALLY ADVANCE
YOUR POLITICAL INTEREST.
THAT'S WHAT SEEMS LIKE A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
WHEN SENATOR BURR ASKED VITTORIA
NEWLAND ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SHE
HAD ANY ROLE IN THE BRIEFING
WHERE THEY VISITED THE STATE
DEPARTMENT, BRIEFING THE
DOSSIER, SHE SAID I ACTIVELY
CHOSE NOT TO BE PART OF THE
BRIEFING SEVEN -- WERE YOU AWARE
OF IT?
SHE SAID, I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT
UNTIL AFTERWARDS.
HOW COULD SHE SAY SHE ACTIVELY
CHOSE NOT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE
EVENT SAY SHE WAS NOT AWARE
UNTIL AFTER?
QUESTIONS COMING UP, I THINK THE
PROBLEM IS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE SUPPORTIVE OF TRUMP AND
DON'T FEEL LIKE WE'VE GOT TO THE
BOTTOM OFFICE.
THERE HASN'T BEEN AN INTEREST TO
DO IT AND WHEN LITTLE THINGS
LIKE THIS TO GLAUCOMA YOU RAISE
YOUR EYEBROWS AND SAY, WAS OUR
STATE DEPARTMENT SOLIDIFIED?
>> THE FBI WAS.
>> THEY SHOULD BLOW THE WHISTLE
ON IT.
>> SO WHERE IS ALL THIS GOING?
WE HAVE TO DOCUMENT SUGGESTIONS
THAT THE MEMBER OF THE STATE
DEPARTMENT WAS HELPING
FACILITATE THIS BUT WHAT COMES
OF THIS?
>> THINK FIRST OF ALL, IT'S VERY
CONVOLUTED.
I THINK MOST AMERICANS, WHEN
THEY HEAR IT, MY EYES GLAZE
OVER.
I DON'T THINK THE POLITICAL
WORLD DIGS INTO IT ANYMORE.
I THINK IT'S KIND OF DYING OUT.
>> WHEN YOU STAND BACK AND SAY,
IT'S OUTRAGEOUS WHAT WAS DONE --
>> I THINK WE ALREADY KNOW THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DURING
THIS TIME WAS VERY MUCH
POLITICIZED IN TERMS OF THIS
INVESTIGATION.
THAT IS TROUBLING.
>> YOU THINK WE ARE GETTING
LITTLE NUGGETS HERE AND THERE
THAT SUGGESTS STRONGLY OF THE
PEOPLE WHO SHOULD NOT BE
INVOLVED IN THIS?
>> I THINK ONE OF THE PROBLEMS
IS THAT VITTORIA NEWLAND SAID
SHE WAS INVOLVED IN SOME
RESEARCH THAT THEY HAD DONE ON
UKRAINE.
HE WAS CONSIDERED A LEGITIMATE
RESEARCHER.
HE WOULD KNOW IF HE WAS DOING
SOMETHING POLITICAL OR --
>> THEY WERE LOOKING FOR DIRT ON
DONALD TRUMP AND FUNDED BY THE
CLINTON CAMPAIGN, THEY SAID GO
OUT AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND.
>> TO REALLY BE ABLE TO SAY THAT
CATEGORICALLY, THERE WOULD HAVE
TO BE MORE OF AN INVESTIGATION.
>> IS GOING TO SAY, YOU THINK
THEY HAVE INVESTIGATED OUT?
>> WHEN PEOPLE HEAR ABOUT IT
NOW, THEY START TO LOSE
INTEREST.
>> YOU'RE ALSO AN EXPERT ON MANY
THINGS, WE ALSO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN
VENEZUELA.
THE VENEZUELANS AND RUSSIANS
COME TO THIS WHERE EACH OF US
WARSHIPS CAN GO INTO EACH
OTHER'S PORTS.
VENEZUELA HAS A WORSHIP?
I'M SURPRISED THEY HAVEN'T SOLD
THEM YET.
IT CERTAINLY SPEAKS TO THE
AGREEMENT THEY HAVE WITH RUSSIA.
>> THEY ARE AN OCCUPIED COUNTRY.
WE CAN'T HAVE ANY COLONIALISM IN
THE DEVELOPING MORE WEALTH,
VENEZUELA IS AN OCCUPIED
COUNTRY.
>> STORY THAT WAS SO HOT FOR SO
LONG, WE THOUGHT MADURO WOULD BE
THERE, HE'S STILL SITTING
PRETTY.
>> I'M NOT SURE -- I THINK THERE
WILL BE CHANGE THERE IN TERMS OF
