>> DOES ANYONE REALLY THINK THAT
THEY HAVE APPLIED THESE LAWS
EVENLY TO PAST PRESIDENTS WHO
HAVE HAD CLASSIFIED INFORMATION?
THEY ARE LAUNCHING INCREDIBLY
AGGRESSIVE VENTURE ARCTIC
RHETORIC.
-- VITRIOLIC RHETORIC.
>> WHAT WE CANNOT HAVE ARE
AGENCIES THAT ARE WIELDED
AGAINST CITIZENS OF OUR COUNTRY.
>> THIS IS A TOUGH TIME IN OUR
COUNTRY.
WE HAVE TOO MUCH DISTRUST IN TOO
MANY OF OUR INSTITUTIONS.
>> Gillian: LET’S BRING IN BYRON
YORK OF THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER.
MARK THEISSEN.
COHOST OF THE FIVE.
FIREMAN, ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID
THAT HE SIGNED OFF ON THIS
SEARCH POINT BECAUSE HE BELIEVES
THAT BRINGING THESE DOCUMENTS
OUT OF MAR-A-LAGO BACK INTO THE
POSSESSION OF THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT WAS A SERVICE FOR THE
COUNTRY.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF
POLITICAL WAS ON THE HILL
DISAGREE.
>> Byron: THIS IS SERIOUS.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS
IMPANELED A GRAND JURY.
IT HAS EXECUTED A SEARCH WARRANT
AND THEY ARE CLEARLY
INVESTIGATING THE FORMER
PRESIDENT FOR ALLEGED CRIMES AND
MISHANDLING OF CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
BUT STILL, THE PROBLEM IS WE
DON’T KNOW WHAT HE DID.
THE INFORMATION ALONG WITH THE
SEARCH WARRANT LISTED ALLEGED
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS BEING
PICKED UP BY THE FBI.
BUT WE DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS
ABOUT.
WE HAD WHAT REPORT THINK IT JUST
ABOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
WE HAD OTHER REPORTS SAYING IT
IS REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS BUT WE
DON’T KNOW.
REALLY HARD TO FIGURE OUT, IN
2018, LISA PAGE TESTIFIED THAT
THE FBI HAD DISCUSSED WITH THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT CHARGING
HILLARY CLINTON TO THE ESPIONAGE
ACT.
THE SAME THING MIGHT HAPPEN HERE
HERE.
>> Gillian: MARC USED TO WORK
WITH CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.
THERE’S THIS ITEM LIST.
I’M GOING TO SUMMARIZE IT DOES
FOR YOU GUYS WITH QUICK.
WE GOT A RECEIPT LIST OF
DECEASED -- THE SEIZED
MATERIALS.
INFO ON THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE.
A BINDER OF PHOTOS, HANDWRITTEN
NOTE.
THAT COULD BE ANYTHING.
BUT THEN WE ALSO HAVE
CONFIRMATION THAT IT INCLUDES
VARIOUS SECRET AND TOP-SECRET
DOCUMENTS.
DOES IT MATTER WHAT SPECIFIC
INFORMATION IS IN THESE
DOCUMENTS?
THEY BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, NOT THE
FORMER PRESIDENT.
>> Marc: MISHANDLING CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION IS A SERIOUS ISSUE.
BUT HERE IS THE THING.
THAT WARRANT SAYS THAT TRUMP HAD
11 SETS OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
INCLUDING FOUR SETS OF TOP
SECRET SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM
DOCUMENTS WHICH AS YOU AND I
BOTH KNOW IS THE HIGHEST LEVEL
OF CLASSIFICATION YOU CAN HAVE.
JIM COMI TOLD US IN 2016 THAT
HILLARY CLINTON HAD 110
CLASSIFIED E-MAILS ON HER
PRIVATE SERVER INCLUDING THIS IS
A QUOTE SEVEN E-MAIL CHAINS
CONCERNING MATTERS THAT
RECLASSIFIED.
TOP-SECRET SPECIAL ACCESS LEVEL
PROGRAMS AND THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT INSPECTOR GENERAL
REPORTED THAT THOSE CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS WERE COMPROMISED BY
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SERVICES.
THAT SEEMS MORE SERIOUS THAT
WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE AT THE
OTHER DIFFERENCE IS INTENT.
THE DONALD TRUMP PACK UP -- DID
HE UNPACK THOSE BOXES?
DOES HE KNOW EVERYTHING?
SHE ACTUALLY PUT CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION INTO AN UNCLASSIFIED
E-MAIL.
THAT TAKES PHYSICAL EFFORT.
YOU HAVE TO TYPE IT OUT.
YOU CAN JUST MOVE IT AND
CUT-AND-PASTE IT.
SHE HAD 10 AND THEY STILL DID
NOT RAID HER HOUSE.
>> Gillian: HERALD, THE
PRESIDENT’S SUPPORTERS,
INCLUDING GOP MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS SAYING THAT WHAT TOOK
SO LONG?
IF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
SUSPECTED OR KNEW THAT THE
FORMER PRESIDENT HAD THESE
DOCUMENTS THAT COMPROMISE
NATIONAL SECURITY IN ANY WAY,
WHAT DID THEY WAIT TO CARRY OUT
THAT RAID NOW SO CLOSE TO THE
MIDTERMS 90 DAYS OUT?
>> Harold: THANKS FOR HAVING ME
ON AND I’M ACTUALLY HAPPY
WEEKEND.
I DO KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE
QUESTION I HAVE TO THINK THAT
THEY DO.
I WOULD ECHO WHAT HAS BEEN SET.
THIS IS SERIOUS.
NO PRESIDENT, FORMER PRESIDENT
HAS BEEN CHARGED, SIMPLY NOT
CHARGED BY THE INVESTIGATION AND
WE KNOW THE ESPIONAGE IS A PART
OF THE INVESTIGATION.
AND THAT IS SERIOUS.
IF I WERE A FORMER PRESIDENT AND
I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT
ONE DAY, AS ALL OF US DO, I
WOULD COME ON TELEVISION TONIGHT
AND SAY, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT
THESE PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
THEY HAVE INVESTIGATED.
THEY ARE INVESTIGATING.
THEY HAVE COME INTO MY HOME.
I DUNNO WHAT THEY COULD HAVE
FOUND TO MAKE THEM THINK THAT I
SHOULD BE HUNDRED AND VISITATION
FOR ESPIONAGE.
FOR SOME PEOPLE TO SAY THERE
SHOULD BE A HIGHER STANDARD FOR
A FORMER PRESIDENT.
BUT THE FOUNDERS I DON’T THINK
BELIEVE THAT.
THEY WERE NOT PERFECT.
THEY BELIEVED PRESIDENTS AND
CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS, I
HAPPEN TO BE IN THE LOWER END OF
THAT.
WE SHOULD LIVE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES AND BE IN THE
COMMUNITIES AND BEHAVE LIKE WE
ARE IN A COMMUNITY AND FINALLY,
I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE
DON’T THINK HE SHOULD BE
INVESTIGATED LIKE THIS IF IT IS
TRUE.
IF THERE’S NOTHING HERE,
EVERYONE THAT SAID THAT THIS
PRESIDENT HAS DONE THIS OR THAT
SHOULD COME BACK ON TELEVISION
AND SAY, WOW, THIS WAS WRONG AND
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WAS
WRONG.
BUT WE DON’T KNOW THAT AND WE
SHOULD WAIT.
>> Gillian: I WANT TO MAKE SURE
I GET TO WINNERS AND LOSERS.
>> THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
IS MY WINTER AND IT IS ALREADY
VOTED.
ALREADY VOTED TO PASS THIS.
THAT LOSER IS THE AMERICAN
TAXPAYER WHO IS GOING TO FACE
MORE AUDITS.
>> Gillian: MARC?
>> Marc: MY WINNER IS KAREN WHO
IS A COLLEAGUE, FELLOW ALL-STAR
PANELIST WHO JUST CAME HOME
AFTER A SUCCESSFUL BONE MARROW
TRANSPLANT.
LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING BACK ON
THE PANEL WITH HER ONE DAY VERY,
VERY SOON.
MY LOSER IS ERIC ADAMS GETS THE
MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY WHO HAS
DECLARED HIS CITY A CENTURY CITY
BUT IS CALLING GOVERNOR ABBOTT
AN AMERICAN.
>> Gillian: CONGRATULATIONS AND
BEST WISHES TO KAREN.
WE REALLY DO, ALL THE BEST TO
HER.
HAROLD THAT YOU ARE UP LAST.
>> Congressman Ford: BILL
RUSSELL, DAVE RETIRED HIS
NUMBER.
PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE VIOLENCE OVER
VOTING, OUR SYSTEM IS BASED ON
PEOPLE VOTING NOT BEING VIOLENT
