SOMETHING THEY SAID McCABE
COULD NOT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED.
>> Shannon:
CATHERINE HERRIDGE.
WITH ROSENSTEIN ON THE WAY OUT,
WILL BILL BARR INVESTIGATE THIS
ALLEGED PLOT TO USE THE 25TH
AMENDMENT AGAINST
PRESIDENT TRUMP?
JOINING US NOW, NATIONAL
SECURITY ATTORNEY BRADLEY MAAS
AND FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR
JASON CHAFFETZ, FORMER CHAIRMAN
OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
AND AUTHOR OF "THE DEEP STATE."
I WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING THAT
ELIZABETH WARREN SAID TODAY
ABOUT THIS ISSUE OF USING THE
25TH AMENDMENT.
>> IF THEY BELIEVE THE PRESIDENT
HAS A PROBLEM THAT TRIGGERS THE
25TH AMENDMENT, THEN THEIR
LOYALTY IS THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED STATES.
IT'S THAT SIMPLE.
>> Shannon: JASON, IF THAT'S
WHAT THEY LITERALLY THOUGHT,
WERE THEY TAKING THE RIGHT
STEPS?
>> WELL, THERE WAS NO UNDERLYING
EVIDENCE OF THAT.
THERE IS NO UNDERLYING EVIDENCE
OF THE NEED FOR A RUSSIA PROBE.
THERE WAS NO UNDERLYING EVIDENCE
OF ANYTHING IN THE 25TH
AMENDMENT.
IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT MR. McCABE
SAID TO SCOTT PELLEY ON
"60 MINUTES" ."
REMEMBER MR. McCABE WAS FIRED,
SOMETHING THAT IS RARE FOR
FEDERAL EMPLOYEES, FOR LYING.
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARY
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUAR2
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUAR1
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUAR3
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUAR8
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARP
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARG
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARE
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARR
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARP
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARR
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUART
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARB
HE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A FEBRUARY
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL ABOUT
LYING UNDER OATH THREE TIMES,
LYING FOUR TIMES IN TOTAL.
I DON'T THINK WE CAN REALLY
BELIEVE ANYTHING THAT HE SAYS.
I DO THINK MR. BAKER, THOUGH, HE
DOES HAVE A LOT OF CREDIBILITY
BUT THAT'S WHY CONGRESS HAS TO
GO, AND MY ONLY HOPE IS LINDSEY
GRAHAM WILL -- IF HE'S NOT
LEAVING, MR. McCABE, IF HE'S
NOT LEAVING UNTIL MID-MARCH,
THERE'S PLENTY OF TIME TO GO
TESTIFIED BEFORE LINDSEY
GRAHAM'S COMMITTEE.
>> Shannon: ROSENSTEIN.
MID-MARCH.
McCABE IS GONE.
>> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> Shannon: GRAHAM HAS SAID
THIS IS HAPPENING.
THEY ARE GOING TO GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF IT.
IN THE MEANTIME, VICTOR DAVID
HANSON WRITING AN ARTICLE.
HE SAYS ABOUT THIS WHOLE
SITUATION, IN TIME LIKELY WILL
BECOME RECOGNIZED AS THE
GREATEST SCANDAL IN AMERICAN
POLITICAL HISTORY, MARKING THE
FIRST OCCASION IN WHICH U.S.
GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS SOUGHT TO
OVERTURN AN ELECTION AND REMOVE
A SITTING U.S. PRESIDENT.
BRADLEY.
>> TRYING NOT TO ROLL MY EYES
TOO HARD AT THIS WHOLE THING.
THIS IS A ONCE IN A GENERATION
PROBLEM THESE GUYS FACE.
THEY HAD A CANDIDATE WHERE THE
INVESTIGATION STARTED DURING THE
CAMPAIGN AFTER GEORGE
PAPADOPOULOS STARTS RUNNING HIS
MOUTH.
THE INVESTIGATION IS ONGOING.
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT GIVING UP
HIS TAX RETURNS.
HIS FINANCES ARE TIED UP WITH
DEUTSCHE BANK.
HE IS SAYING THERE IS CONTACTS
WITH THE RUSSIANS.
HIS SENIOR OFFICIALS, CAMPAIGN
CHAIRMAN SELLING POLLING DATA TO
RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE OPERATIVES.
COORDINATING WITH ROGER STONE
ABOUT WIKILEAKS DOMES.
RIGHT AFTER HE FIRES JAMES
COMEY, HE BRAGS ABOUT IN THE
OVAL OFFICE TO SENIOR RUSSIAN
OFFICIALS, INCLUDING THE
AMBASSADOR.
I'M NOT SURPRISE THESE GUYS WERE
FREAKED OUT.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
THEY THOUGHT WHAT COULD WE DO
HERE, WHAT OPTIONS.
THEY TALKED ABOUT THE 25TH
AMENDMENT.
THEY DIDN'T GO TO THE
WHITE HOUSE WITH ARMED FBI
AGENTS.
THEY TALKED ABOUT THE 25TH
AMENDMENT TO GO TO THE CABINET
WHICH WOULD INVOLVE THE
VICE PRESIDENT OF ANYTHING
HAPPEN.
ALL THESE PEOPLE SELECTED BY THE
PRESIDENT.
>> Shannon: JASON, THERE ARE
PEOPLE RAISING THE POINT TODAY.
>> I DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING
YOU JUST SAID.
>> Shannon: JUST ABOUT
EVERYONE HAS GOTTEN IN TROUBLE,
IT'S BEEN FOR LYING TO A FEDERAL
AGENT AND YET WE HAVE PEOPLE
HERE INCLUDING McCABE HIMSELF
WHO GOT IN TROUBLE FOR LYING.
THEY HAVE HAD TO QUIT OR BE
DISMISSED AND NONE OF THEM ARE
FACING ANY CHARGES FOR ANYTHING
CONNECTED TO A FEDERAL
INVESTIGATOR.
>> IT IS WHAT IS STUNNING ABOUT
MR. McCABE AND WHILE HE'S ON A
BOOK TOUR ON "60 MINUTES"
INSTEAD OF FACING PROSECUTORS.
IT DOESN'T GET ANY WORSE THAN
THIS REPORT BY THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL DETAILING THE
FOUR TIMES HE LIED AND YET HE'S
NOT PROSECUTED.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS
HAD THIS INFORMATION FOR MORE
THAN A YEAR AND YET YOU LOOK AT
MANAFORT, STONE, PAPADOPOULOS,
I'M NOT SAYING THAT THEY SHOULD
BE PROSECUTED BUT IF YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE EQUAL JUSTICE
UNDER THE LAW, THEY SHOULD ALSO
BE GOING AFTER THE PERSON -- HE
WAS THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF THE
FBI FOR A TIME, FOR LYING.
>> Shannon: BRADLEY, FAIR TO
SAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MIGHT
FEEL BETTER IF THEY REALIZE AND
FELT THERE WASN'T A DOUBLE
STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO
PROSECUTING.
>> OF COURSE.
IT WAS LACK OF CANDOR.
I REPRESENT FBI OFFICIALS.
THERE IS A DISTINCTION BETWEEN
LACK OF CANDOR AND ACTUALLY
