>>> QUITE FRANKLY THE WHOLE THING IS A BIG DISTRACTION FOR
THE COUNTRY.
THE COUNTRY. YOU LOOK AT WHAT RUSSIA DID,
BUYING SOME FACEBOOK ADS TO SEW
DESCENT, IT’S A TERRIBLE THING
I THINK THE INVESTIGATION AND
SPECULATION FOR THE LAST TWO
YEARS HAS HAD A MUCH HARSHER
PROBLEM TO DEMOCRACY THAN
FACEBOOK ADS
FACEBOOK ADS >> FACEBOOK ADS.
RUDY GIULIANI CLAIMED THERE WAS
NOTHING WRONG WITH ACCEPTING
HELP FROM RUSSIANS
THAT WAS IN HIS SUNDAY
APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE THAT WAS JARED KUSHNER, DONALD
TRUMP’S SON-IN-LAW, SFR ADVISER
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
THAT WAS HIM DOWNPLAYING
RUSSIA’S ATTACK ON OUR
DEMOCRACY, DESCRIBING IT AS JUST
A COUPLE OF FACEBOOK AD.
THIS LINE COMING AFTER ROBERT
MUELLER’S REPORT REVEALED IN
BREATHTAKING DETAIL THE SCOPE
AND EXTENT OF YEARS LONG RUSSIAN
ASSAULT WHICH THE REPORT
DESCRIBES LIKE THIS.
QUOTE, THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT
INTERFERED IN THE 2016
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN
SWEEPING AND SYSTEMATIC FASHION.
BY THE END OF THE 2016 U.S.
ELECTION, RUSSIA’S
ELECTION, RUSSIA’S DISINFORMATION ORGANIZATION HAD
THE ABILITY TO REACH MILLIONS OF
U.S. PERSONS THROUGH THEIR
SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT AS PART
OF ITS EFFORT, RUSSIA HACKED
DOZENS OF COMPUTERS AND STOLE
HUNDREDS OF GIGABYTES OF DATA
FROM DEMOCRATS
FROM DEMOCRATS THE REPORT IS ALSO CAREFUL TO
POINT OUT THAT THE MUELLER
DOESN’T ESTABLISH CRIMINAL
CONSPIRACY
CONSPIRACY RUSSIA AND TRUMP CAMPAIGN SHARED
A COMMON GOAL.
SPECIAL COUNSEL INVESTIGATION
UNCOVERED 19 TRUMP AIDES WHO HAD
CONTACT WITH RUSSIANS INCLUDING
JARED KUSHNER DURING THE
CAMPAIGN
CAMPAIGN A WHOLE PLOT MORE GOING ON HERE,
JARED, THAN A COUPLE OF FACEBOOK
ADS.
ADS. JOINING OUR CONVERSATION, THIS
IS GOOD.
IS GOOD. JEREMY BASH, CHIEF OF STAFF OF
CIA AND PENTAGON
FORMER PRESIDENTIAL ENVOY FOR
GLOBAL COALITION TO DEFEAT ISIS,
SERVED IN BUSH, OBAMA AND TRUMP
ADMINISTRATIONS.
ADMINISTRATIONS. AMBASSADOR MICHAEL McFAUL, U.S.
AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA
FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR
COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE AT THE FBI
FRANK FIGLUSI.
FRANK FIGLUSI. ALL MSNBC CRIBBERS
LET ME START WITH YOU JEREMY,
ALL THE RUSSIANS DID WAS BUY
FACEBOOK ADS
FACEBOOK ADS WHAT’S YOUR REACTION.
>> THE REASON WHY JARED HAS TO
MINIMIZE HE DOESN’T MEET HIS
FATHER-IN-LAW.
FATHER-IN-LAW. IF WE TAKE THAT APPROACH, OUR
DEFENSES WILL BE DOWN.
WE’VE SEEP IT FROM THE JANUARY
2017 ASSESSMENT AS WELL AS
TESTIMONY GIVEN THIS PAST
JANUARY IN FRONT OF THE SENATE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE THE PART OF THE REPORT, NICOLE,
I WAS MOST INTERESTED IN WAS
ACTUALLY ABOUT MIKE FLYNN IN
WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, MIKE FLYNN
CONDUCTED THIS SECRET CHANNEL
WITH THE RUSSIAN FOREIGN
MINISTER DIRECTLY AND AMBASSADOR
DIRECTLY AFTER THE ELECTION.
THE REPORT DOESN’T ANSWER WHY
DID HE DO IT, WHY WAS HE SO
EAGER TO THIS THE SECRET
CHANNEL.
CHANNEL. WHY DID HE LIE TO THE VICE
PRESIDENT?
PRESIDENT? WHY DID HE LIE TO THE FBI?
SOME OF THE ANSWERS TO THESE
QUESTIONS WE WON’T FIND OUT
UNTIL MIKE FLYNN IS SENTENCED.
INTERESTINGLY THE PRESIDENT
DIRECTED NATIONAL SECURITY
ADVISER TO WRITE A FAKE MEMO TO
LIE TO THE FILE AND PAYINGLY SAY
THAT NEFF HAPPENED
SHE DIDN’T DO IT.
>> FRANK, THE OTHER PERSON WHO
WANTED A BACK CHANNEL TO RUSSIA
WAS JARED KUSHNER.
HE WANTED A BACK CHANNEL AT THE
RUSSIAN EMBASSY SO HE COULD
COMMUNICATE AS A TRANSITION
OFFICIAL WITH THE RUSSIA ABOUT
AMERICA HEARING.
AMERICA HEARING. OBVIOUSLY A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY
WAS NOT CHARGED BY ROBERT
MUELLER BUT THE IDEA THAT ALL
THAT WENT ON BETWEEN THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIANS,IT SEEME
JARED SUGGESTING THEY
COORDINATED ON FACEBOOK ADS,
WHICH WAS NEWS TO ME
THE IDEA ALL THAT WENT ON, IT
SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO LIE AT THIS
POINT.
POINT. WHY NOT EMBRACE MUELLER’S
FINDINGS ON THE RUSSIANS
>> IF THE RUSSIAN EFFORTS TO
UNDERMINE OUR DEMOCRACY DURING
THE ELECTION WAS FACEBOOK AD,
THEN HURRICANE KATERINA WAS A
COUPLE OF RAINDROPS.
THIS WAS A DELUGE.
FUTURES INTO THE WEEDS ON THIS
REPORT, YOU SEE RUSSIANS WERE
DEEP INSIDE LOCAL, COUNTY STATE
ELECTION PROCESSES
ELECTION PROCESSES THEY WERE INTO THE HARDWARE OF
VOTING MACHINERY AND TECHNOLOGY
AND THE COMPANIES THAT PRODUCE
THEM
THEM SO THE MINIMIZATION BY JARED,
WHAT’S THE FEAR?
THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE
REPORT AND RUSSIA’S ACTIVITIES
WILL DELEGITIMATIZE PRESIDENT
TRUMP’S ELECTION
TRUMP’S ELECTION HE’S GOT TO SAY THERE’S NOTHING
TO SEE HERE, PLEASE MOVE ALONG
IT KEEPS ME GOING BACK TO THE
QUESTION, WHERE IS THE ORIGINAL
COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE CASE THAT
LED TO THIS SPECIAL COUNSEL
INQUIRY, WHAT’S THE STATUS OF
IT, WHAT WAS THE DEAL WITH THE
FBI AGENTS EMBEDDED AT THE
SPECIAL COUNSEL’S OFFICE FOR THE
SOUL PURPOSE OF PASSING INTEL
BACK TO FBI AND
COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE DIVISION.
COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE DIVISION. I KEEP LOOKING TO THE HOUSE AND
SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES
TO GET SOME ANSWERS ON WHERE WE
ARE WITH COME OPT-OPTING, RECRUI
AND VULNERABILITIES OF PEOPLE IN
THIS ADMINISTRATION.
THIS ADMINISTRATION. >> BRENT, THERE’S A SECTION OF
THE RECORD I WANTED TO ASK YOU
ABOUT SINCE I READ IT.
IT’S THE OBSTRUCTION REPORT.
DONALD TRUMP’S EFFORTS TO GET
HIS NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICIALS
TO SAY HE WASN’T UNDER
INVESTIGATION IN THE RUSSIA
PROBE.
PROBE. IT’S ALL ABOUT INTERACTIONS WITH
CIA DIRECTOR MIKE POMPEO,
ADMIRAL ROGERS AND DNI CODES
IT’S CHILLING.
IT’S CHILLING. I’M GUESSING ALL MY VIEWERS HAVE
READ THE WORDS BEFORE BUT FOR
THE SEVEN WHO HAVEN’T, I’LL
EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT
WHAT TRUMP DOES IS CALL ALL
THESE NATIONAL SECURITY FIGURES
AND ASKS THEM TO ACT AS MINI
SARAH SANDERS OR MAYBE SEAN
SPICER WAS THERE
IN THE REPORT THEY WERE BROUGHT
IN AS WITNESSES TO ROBERT
MUELLER.
MUELLER. I WANT YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT
THEY HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO
THEY WERE WITNESSES AND I’M SURE
THEY ARE HAPPY TO BE
THEY DESCRIBED OR THEIR AIDES
DESCRIBED THE PRESIDENT’S
CONDUCT AND PRESIDENT’S REQUEST
AS SOME OF THE WEIRDEST THINGS
THEY WERE ASKED TO DO.
YOUR THOUGHTS.
YOUR THOUGHTS. >> I THINK THE SECTION FROM MIKE
ROGERS, OF COURSE I WORKED
CLOSELY WITH CYBER COMMAND WITH
ISIS
ISIS THAT’S RULE NUMBER ONE, YOU’RE
WORKING FOR THE PRESIDENT.
IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT,
YOU SHOULDN’T BE IN THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH
EXECUTIVE BRANCH AT THE SAME TIME YOU SWEAR AN
OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION YOU’RE
NOT GOING TO VIOLATE THE LAW
YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR OWN PERSONAL
INTEGRITY CARRYING OUT YOUR
FILE
FILE THAT’S REALLY WHAT IS THROUGHOUT
THIS REPORT.
THIS REPORT. THE FACTS OF WHAT OUR COUNTRY --
THE CHALLENGES OUR COUNTRY
FACES, I WAS JUST IN CHINA LAST
WEEK
WEEK UNANIMOUS ASSESSMENT OF OUR
INTELLIGENCE KMLT RUSSIA AND
CHINA WORKING MORE CLOSELY
TOGETHER THAN ANY TIME IN THE
LAST 40 YEARS, THESE ARE THE
KIND OF THINGS OUR COUNTRY HAS
TO PULL ITSELF TOGETHER AND HAVE
AN AGREEMENT ON THE UNDERLYING
FACTS.
FACTS. WHEN YOU HAVE A UNANIMOUS
ASSESSMENT WITH KEY FACTS LIKE
THAT THAT OUR COUNTRY FACES AND
ARGUING ABOUT BASIC FUNDAMENTAL
FUNCTIONS WE’RE GOING TO FIND
OURSELVES IN TROUBLE.
>> LET ME PRESS YOU ON THAT.
IT HAPPENED TODAY.
JARED KUSHNER SAID THE ENTIRE
RUSSIAN OPERATION, IF YOU WILL,
WAS JUST A COUPLE OF FACEBOOK
AD THAT IS NOT THE ASSESSMENT OF
THE INDIVIDUALS YOU JUST NAMED.
>> WE HAVE TO LOOK -- THE
NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGY AND
NAT SECURITY STRATEGY, THESE
WERE TWO DOCUMENTS APPROVED BY
THE PRESIDENT.
THE PRESIDENT. THEY MAT POINT WE ARE IN AB ERA
OF GREAT POWER COMPETITION
WHAT THAT MEANS IS OUR ENTIRE
NATIONAL SECURITY STRAT BY IS
FOCUSED ON WINNING THIS GREAT
POWER COMPETITION AGAINST RUSSIA
AND CHINA.
AND CHINA. SO WE HAVE TO LOOK OUR
COMPETITORS IN THE FACE AND
AGREE ON THE BASIC FACTS
I THINK IT’S SERIOUSLY
PROBLEMATICSENIOR OFFICIALS AR
UNABLE TO DO THAT.
>> IMAGINE, McFAUL, LET ME READ
YOU THIS SECTION THAT CUT ME UP
THE NIGHT I STUMBLED UPON IT
THAT’S FRIDAY NIGHT.
THAT’S TOO MUCH INFORMATION
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME THAT’S WHAT I DID, I READ FROM
FROM THE REPORT MARCH 26, 2017,
THE PRESIDENT CALLED NSA ADMIRAL
MICHAEL ROGERS OF THE PRESIDENT
EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION WITH
RUSSIA MADE RELATIONS DIFFICULT.
PRESIDENT SAID NEWS STORIES
LINKING HIM WITH RUSSIA WERE NOT
TRUE AND ASKED ROGERS IF HE
COULD DO ANYTHING TO REFUTE THE
STORIES.
STORIES. DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE NSA
RICHARD LEDGEETTE SAID IT WAS
THE MOST USUAL THING
THEY CREATED A MEMO THEY SIGNED
DOCUMENTING THE CONVERSATION AND
THE PRESIDENT’S REQUEST AND
PLACED THE MEMORANDUM IN A SAFE.
THIS IS OUT OF TOM CLANCY NOVELS
WHERE THE PRESIDENT IS CALLING
TO SAISAI THIS, SO I’M SAFE AND
THEY LOCK IT IN A SAFE
ALL THE DETAILED REPORTING ON
CONTACTS WITH RUSSIANS.
>> WELL, THAT PASSAGE IS
ABSOLUTELY KOOKY
ABSOLUTELY KOOKY THERE’S NO OTHER WORD FOR IT
KOOKY.
KOOKY. BOTH THAT HE WOULD THINK TO ASK.
ALSO IT MEANS HE DOESN’T
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NSA DOES
HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
PRESIDENT HE’S IN CHARGE OF
DOES
DOES HE’S COMMANDER IN CHIEF, IN
CHARGE OF OUR NATIONAL SECURITY
AND LITERALLY DOES NOT
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE NSA DOES
THAT’S WHAT THAT PASSAGE MEANT
TO ME.
TO ME. I THINK THAT’S A BROADER THEME
THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE REPORT.
TO YOUR POINT ABOUT ALL THESE
CONTACTS WITH THE RUSSIANS,
NUMBER ONE, OBVIOUSLY JARED
HASN’T READ THE ENTIRE REPORT
LIKE YOU HAVE, NICOLE, BECAUSE
IT WASN’T A COUPLE OF FACEBOOK
ADS.
ADS. >> ANOTHER FRIDAY NIGHT, MAYBE.
>> IN PARTICULAR THE GRU
STEALING INFORMATION FROM
AMERICANS PUBLICIZING IT TO HELP
ONE CANDIDATE AND NOT THE OTHER.
AND YET PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT
DENIED THAT.
DENIED THAT. IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT IS THE PARTY
LINE WITHIN THE FAMILY
THERE’S JUST TWO THINGS WRONG
WITH THAT.
WITH THAT. ONE, I JUST DON’T THINK THEY
UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THE
RUSSIAN THREAT
RUSSIAN THREAT I’M TRYING TO BE GENEROUS.
NAIVE HAVING ALL THESE MEETINGS,
NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE
RUSSIANS WERE TRYING TO DO
THE BY THE WAY, THE RUSSIANS
HURT THE LEGITIMACY OF THE
PRESIDENT AND HIGGS
FATHER-IN-LAW.
FATHER-IN-LAW. THINK ABOUT HAD THERE NOT BEEN
ANY RUSSIAN OPERATION AT ALL, WE
CALL THOSE COUNTER-FACTUALS IN
ACADEMIA, THINK IF THEY HAD
NEVER DONE ANYTHING.
LET’S ALSO ASSUME PRESIDENT
TRUMP WOULD HAVE WON WITHOUT
RUSSIAN HELP, HE WOULD BE MUCH
BETTER OFF TODAY THAN WITHOUT
ALL THE RUSSIAN ACTIVITY WITH
THEM
THEM THAT’S NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER TWO, THEY ARE NOT
TREATING RUSSIA AS A THREAT.
THAT’S WRONG
THAT’S WRONG THEIR NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY
DOES, MOST OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION ALSO DOES, BY THE
WAY, THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES DOES NOT.
THAT TO ME IS A HUGE MISTAKE IN
TERMS OF DEFENDING AMERICA’S
NATIONAL INTEREST.
NATIONAL INTEREST. >> JEREMY, PLETT ME GIVE YOU THE
LAST WORD.
LAST WORD. AMBASSADOR McFAUL IS BEING
GENEROUS, LET ME ASK YOU TO BE
BLUNT.
BLUNT. >> THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY
WERE DOING
WERE DOING THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION DID THIS.
THEY DIDN’T CARE IF IT WAS A
THREAT
THREAT THEY WANTED TO WIN AT ALL COSTS
AND WANTED TO MAKE A LOT OF
MONEY.
MONEY. >> CAN I TELL YOU WHAT WAS SO
LOATHSOME ABOUT WHAT JARED DID
TODAY?
TODAY? >> PLEASE.
>> PLEASE. >> HE SAID THE REPORT ON THE
GREATEST ATTACK AGAINST AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY IN OUR HISTORY WAS
WORSE THAN THE ACTUAL ATTACK ON
OUR COUNTRY.
OUR COUNTRY. IT IS A PROFOUNDLY UNPATRIOTIC
THING TO SAY
YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAY, LOOK,
WE’RE GETTING INVOLVED IN ALL
KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE A BIT
OF A DISTRACTION HERE.
AGAIN, AS MIKE SAID, AS WE ALL
SAID, A HOSTILE FOREIGN POWER
ATTACKED THE VERY SACRED HEART
OF OUR DEMOCRACY
HE’S SAYING AN INVESTIGATION
INTO THAT WAS WORSE THAN THE
ATTACK
ATTACK NO
NO THAT’S A TREASONOUS COMMENT.
>> I ABSOLUTELY AGREE.
I’M DISGUSTED BY THE TOTALITY OF
HIS COMMENTS INCLUDING WHEN
JARED KUSHNER SAID HE ADVISED
MDS TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS
POSSIBLE
POSSIBLE HE WOULDN’T DISCUSS THAT WHOLE
DEBACLE AND ATTACK ON FREE
SPEECH AND THAT HORRIBLE
ALLIANCE
ALLIANCE I’M NOT SURPRISED AT ALL THAT
JARED KUSHNER CONTINUES TO DENY
THAT THE RUSSIANS WERE ACTIVELY
INVOLVED IN SUPPRESSING THE VOTE
IN THE UNITED STATES.
>> THIS IS JARED KUSHNER’S HEL
HELSINKI MOMENT.
HELSINKI MOMENT. THE PEOPLE PATTING THEMSELVES ON
THE BACK THEY RECEIVED POLLING
DATA THE CAMPAIGN MANAGER GAVE
THEM, WE’RE TARGETING THREE
SWING STATES TO TRY TO GET
DONALD TRUMP THE WHITE HOUSE
THROUGH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE,
WHICH TO THE EARLIER POINT
EXHIBIT A WHY JARED KUSHNER
