MARIA: WELCOME BACK WITH MY
INTERVIEW WITH JOHN RATFLIFFE
HOMELAND SECURITY COMMISSIONER.
HE'S BEEN ASKED TOP QUESTIONS IN
THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY LAST
WEEK, CONGRESSMAN FORGET TO THE
IG REPORT, I WANT TO GET YOUR
THOUGHTS ON WHAT WILL HEAR FROM
THE IG REPORT WHICH IS SCHEDULED
FOR EARLY DECEMBER.
BUT ONE THING THAT I NOTICED
THIS PAST WEEK, ARE YOU GUYS NOT
UNDER OATH IN CONGRESS IN THAT
ROOM?
ADAM SCHIFF, YOU SAID YOU WANT
ADAM SCHIFF TO COME DOWN AND
TESTIFY UNDER OATH.
DOES THAT MEAN WHAT WE HEAR FROM
ADAM SCHIFF NEEDS PUBLIC
HEARINGS HE IS NOT UNDER OATH HE
CAN SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS?
>> YET HE IS NOT SWORN IN AS A
WITNESS AS WE PRESIDE OVER THESE
HEARINGS OR HE PRESIDES OVER
THESE HEARINGS.
MUCH OF WHAT HE HE IS SAYING TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS NOT TRUE.
I KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE AND WE KNOW
IT IS NOT TRUE.
WE WOULD LIKE HIM TO TESTIFY, I
THINK CONGRESSMAN COLLINS IS
GOING TO ASK FOR THAT WHEN THE
HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
SENT A REPORT TO THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE AND I DOUBT THAT
CHAIRMAN NADLER IS GOING TO
ALLOW THAT.
I DON'T THINK THEY WILL ALLOW
THAT, THEY SHOULD AND I THINK
THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.
IT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THIS
WILL BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN THE
SENATE INCLUDING ADAM SCHIFF
WILL NOT BE TESTIFYING.
>> I'M GOING TO SPEAK WITH DOUG
COLLINS IN JUST A FEW MINUTES
AND ASK HIM ABOUT THAT PRE-BUT
IT STRUCK ME BECAUSE I GUESS
THAT'S WHAT HE CAN SAY WE HAVE
NOT SEEN THE WHISTLEBLOWER, WE
DON'T KNOW WHO THE WHISTLEBLOWER
IS AND THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER
WE FOUND OUT MY STAFF DID MEET
WITH THE WAS A BLUR.
HE COULD SAY WHAT HE WANTS
BECAUSE IS NOT UNDER OATH.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
THE IG REPORT, WHEN DO YOU
EXPECT IT, YOU BEEN STUDYING THE
ORIGINS OF THE RUSSIAN PROBE FOR
THREE YEARS HAVE DONE A GREAT
JOB IN TERMS OF EXPOSING THE
WRONGDOING THAT TOOK PLACE IN
2016, WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT FROM
THIS REPORT?
>> I DO THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER AND
BILL BARR SAID IT'S IMMINENT AND
I WOULD LOVE IT IF IT CAME OUT
SUMER BECAUSE THE EARLY REPORT
THE DEMOCRATS ARE RACING TO GET
TO THE IMPEACHMENT AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE AND IT'S WHY WE HAVE
EIGHT WITNESSES AND FIVE
HEARINGS THIS WEEK AND WERE NOT
DOING ANY OF THE WORK BECAUSE
THEY KNOW THE INSPECTOR GENERAL
REPORT IS LIKELY TO BE DAMNING
ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THE 2016
INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN AND THE ROLE THAT THE
OBAMA BIDEN OFFICIALS PLAYED IN
THAT.
WE KNOW THIS, THE REPORT IS
SUPPOSEDLY 500 PAGES, IT DOES
NOT TAKE IN INSPECTOR GENERAL
500 PAGES TO SAY EVERYTHING WAS
DONE CORRECTLY AND PROPERLY.
AND I CANNOT TELL YOU EVERYTHING
THAT IS IN THERE BUT WHAT I CAN
TELL YOU THAT I KNOW THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL IS GOING TO
HAVE TO FIND THAT THERE WERE
THINGS THAT WERE DONE WRONG AND
THERE IS EXCULPATORY INFORMATION
THAT WAS NOT PROVIDED.
I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE AN
INDICTMENT OF ADAM SCHIFF WHO
HAS WRITTEN HIS OWN PFIZER
REBUTTAL MEMO IF YOU REMEMBER
GENERAL 2018 HOW THE REPUBLICANS
CRITICIZE PEOPLE LIKE PETER
STRZOK AND LISA PAGE AND ANDY
MCCABE AND BRUCE OR WHO HAVE
DONE NOTHING WRONG.
I THINK THE IG REPORT IS GOING
TO FIND THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS
IN THE PFIZER APPLICATION
PROCESS AND THEY DON'T WANT THAT
TO COME OUT UNTIL AFTER THEY
IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT.
WE HAVE A LETTER FROM ADAM
SCHIFF TO TO GIVE A NEW
SCHIFF TO TO GIVE D NEW
SCHIFF TO TO GIVE DEVEW
SCHIFF TO TO GIVE DEVON AND US,
WE WILL ALL OF THESE HEARINGS
SPECIFICALLY TO BE ONLY ABOUT
THE UKRAINE PHONE CALL, WE DON'T
WANT ANYTHING ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN
AND ANYTHING WITH DEBUNKED
INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016
ELECTION.
DEBUNKED.
WHEN I LOOK AT WHAT IS
HAPPENING, YOU HAVE AN
INVESTIGATION AT THE HIGHEST
LEVEL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT
WHICH IS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
INVESTIGATING 2016 ELECTION AND
INTERFERENCE BY THE FBI AND CIA.
YOU HAVE JOHN DURHAM'S CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION.
I ASK YOU WHAT EXACTLY IS
DEBUNKED ABOUT 2016 INTERFERENCE
WHICH IS WHAT ADAM SCHIFF DRUGS?
HE'S NOT UNDER OATH TO WRITE
THIS LETTER EITHER.
>> HE IS NOT.
AND IT'S NOT DEBUNKED AND I
THINK THE IG REPORT IS GOING TO
VALIDATE AT THE TIME CHAIRMAN
NUNEZ BUYS A MEMO THAT
HIGHLIGHTED THE ABUSES, I TELL
YOU THIS, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT
THE EXCULPATORY INFORMATION IS
BUT THERE WAS SOME.
AND I TELL YOU IT WAS NOT TIMELY
DELIVERED TO THE FISA COURT
DURING THE DEPENDENCY OF THOSE
FISA APPLICATIONS AND I'LL
PROMISE YOU THAT THE INSPECTOR
GENERAL REPORT IS GOING TO
ADDRESS THAT.
MARIA: WE THINK WE KNOW THAT,
OUR AUDIENCE KNOWS THAT BECAUSE
WE'VE HAD GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS ON
IN YOUR COLLEAGUE SAYING THAT
THERE WAS AN INFORMANT WHO WENT
TO GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS AND SAID
IT'S GREAT THAT RUSSIA HAS EASY
MODES AND IT'S GOOD FOR TRUMP IN
GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS ANSWERS AND
SAYS THAT TREES AND I WOULD
NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND
THE GUY WAS WIRED AND IT WAS AN
INFORMANT TALKING TO HIM AND
THAT TRANSCRIPT SHOULD BE ONE
PIECE OF EVIDENCE WERE EXPECTING
IN THE IG REPORT.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO
AREN'T YOU?
>> I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE
ADDRESSED BY THE INSPECTOR
GENERAL AND WHETHER THAT WAS
TIMELY DELIVERED TO THE FISA
COURT AND ASSUMING ALL OF THAT
IS TRUE AND WILL THE REPORT
SPEAK FOR ITSELF, YOU PROBABLY
SEE A SHIFTING DEMOCRATIC
NARRATIVE SAYING IT DID NOT MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE.
THERE ARE GENUINE QUESTIONS --
>> THERE ARE LEGITIMATE
QUESTIONS OF THOSE OF US WHO
HAVE SEEN THE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF
THE 2016 INVESTIGATION, IT IS
UNRAVELING AND THAT'S WHY THEY
ARE RUSHING TO IMPEACH THE
PRESIDENT, THEY FAIL TO IMPEACH
HIM FOR BEING A RUSSIAN AGENT
BECAUSE IT WAS A JOKE, THEY
FAILED TO IMPEACH HIM WORD
SHOPPING JUSTICE BECAUSE IT WAS
A JOKE.
IN THIS HOAX BASED ON A PHONE
CALL WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UKRAINE WHO SAYS I'M NOT A
VICTIM, NOTHING HAPPENED IS ALSO
HOAX.
>> WERE GONNA TALK WITH JEFF
ANDREW FROM NEW JERSEY HE WAS
ONE OF TWO WHO VOTED AGAINST THE
IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, REAL QUICK
BEFORE YOU GO, DO EXPECT THIS
VOTE FOR IMPEACHMENT IN
DECEMBER?
WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING IN TERMS
WHEN THE HOUSE WILL IMPEACH
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
>> NANCY PELOSI IN ADAM SCHIFF
RACING TO GET THIS DONE AND
THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE FIVE
IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS THIS WEEK
WITH EIGHT DIFFERENT WITNESSES
AND THEY ARE RECENT O'CLOCK,
THEY WANT TO GET THIS DONE
BEFORE INFORMATION THAT COMES
OUT THE DAMAGES THE OBAMA BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION AND THE EFFORTS
TO FRAME DONALD TRUMP COME OUT
IN THE IG REPORT OR FROM JOHN
DURHAM CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION
INTO THOSE VERY SAME ISSUES.
>> WE WILL BE WATCHING.
