AT FIRST WHEN I SAW IT THOUGHT IT WAS A CLASSIFIED MEMO FROM
THE FBI.
IT TURNS OUT IT DOES HAVE SOME
CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ACCORDING
TO THE FBI BUT IT IS A MEMO WRITTEN BY REPUBLICANS.
THAT
DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PERSUASIVE EVIDENCE BUT LET'S
DIVE INTO THE DETAILS.
THEY ARE JUST LIKE AHA HE ASKED FOR AN INVESTIGATION.
THIS IS YOUR BIG AHA?
MORE DETAILS.
SO THERE IS ALREADY A WARD TO INVESTIGATE CARTER PAGE SHE
WAS PART OF THE TRUM CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY ARE CONCERNED HE
MIGHT BE A RUSSIAN AGENT.
THEY GOT A WARRANT FROM A COURT, THEY DID THE INVESTIGATION AS
THEY SHOULD.
ROSENSTEIN GETS INTO OFFICE ñ REPUBLICANS SEIZE ON THAT AND
SAY AHA.
DO YOU HAVE EVIDENCE THAT CARTER PAGE IS NOT A RUSSIAN AGENT?
DO
YOU HAVE EVIDENCE THAT THIS MEMO
WAS WRITTEN BY THE FBI ABOUT SECRET PLOTS?
WHO WROTE THE
MEMO?
REPUBLICANS DID.
NOW THE REPUBLICANS REFUSED TO WORK WITH THEIR OWN JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT.
ALL OF THIS IS MADNESS.
THAT HAS NOT EMERGED BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST.
IN OTHER WORDS HERE WE GO.
SOME TRUMP FOLLOWERS AND OTHER KNUCKLEHEADS MIGHT NOT BE
CONVINCED BECAUSE THEY THINK WHERE'S THE EVIDENCE?
I GAVE YOU
A LAUNDRY LIST OF EVIDENCE AND I HAVE DONE SO.
IF OBAMA HAD DONE ALL OF THAT OR CLINTON, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR
REACTION WOULD BE?
IT IS SUPER OBVIOUS, IT'S FRUSTRATING HAVING THESE
NONSENSE DEBATES WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HONEST ACTORS.
THAT IS AN ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL DOING ITS JOB SAYING AT
LEAST SHOW US THE MEMO.
ACCORDING TO BLOOMBERG WHEN TRUMP FOUND OUT ABOUT BOYD
SAYING IT WOULD BE RECKLESS HE
ERUPTED IN ANGER.
OF COURSE HE DID.
SOMEBODY ELSE BLOCKING HIS ATTEMPTS TO BLOCK JUSTICE.
ONE MORE PIECE OF INFORMATION HERE.
WE ARRIVED IN ANGER IF THE FBI OR THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
SUGGESTS THAT IT MIGHT, WE JUST WANT YOU TO RELEASE IT SO WE CAN
USE IT TO SMEAR EVERYONE ELSE.
THE GUY IS SO OBVIOUSLY GUILTY.
YOU ARE UNBELIEVABLE IF YOU THINK HE'S NOT GUILTY.
IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE.
THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT CARTER PAGE AND THE SURVEILLANCE ñ DID
ROSENSTEIN DREAMED THIS UP?
WE HAVE A FORMER FBI SPECIAL AGENT
EXPLAINING HOW THAT CAN'T
POSSIBLY BE TRUE.
WATCH.
THIS IS EXACTLY AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THIS MEMO IS INACCURATE
AND MISLEADING.
DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL ROSENSTEIN DOESN'T HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO EXTEND ANY KIND OF SURVEILLANCE AT ALL.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS TO
GO INTO A FISA COURT AND
REQUEST AN EXTENSION OF ANY SURVEILLANCE THAT IS ONGOING.
THE DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL MIGHT SIGN OFF ON ALLOWING
THEIR ATTORNEYS TO GO INTO COURT TO ASK FOR BUT THE ULTIMATE
DECISION ON THAT WOULD BE MADE BY A JUDGE.
WHEN THERE IS SURVEILLANCE ON A US PERSON, THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE HAS TO GO IN EVERY 90
DAYS AND SHOW THE COURT THAT THEY ARE GETTING VALUABLE
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION IN ORDER FOR THAT SURVEILLANCE
TO BE EXTENDED.
THE CARTER PAGE SURVEILLANCE BEGAN IN SEPTEMBER, ROSENSTEIN
CAME ON BOARD IN MARCH.
THAT MEANS THIS FISA HAD ALREADY BEEN EXTENDED BEFORE ROSENSTEIN
CAME IN THE PICTURE AND THE
JUDGE FOUND THAT THE
SURVEILLANCE WAS ACTUALLY
COLLECTING VALID FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION.
THERE WAS A REASON TO HAVE IT IN PLACE.
THIS IS THE KIND OF THING WHERE THESE DETAILS NEED TO BE
EXPLAINED OTHERWISE THEY COMPLETELY MISCONSTRUE WHAT
WAS HAPPENING.
AND THEY MISCONSTRUE IT ON PURPOSE BECAUSE THEY ARE
POLITICALLY BIASED.
JUST SO YOU ARE CLEAR, THEY GO TO A FISA COURT AND GET A
WARRANT, THEN IN SEPTEMBER THEY RECEIVE IT.
AT SOME POINT IT IS RENEWED SO
THE COURT SAYS YOU ACTUALLY DO
HAVE INFORMATION ON THIS GUY, KEEP INVESTIGATING HIM BECAUSE
WE THINK YOU MIGHT BE A RUSSIAN AGENT.
THEN ROSENSTEIN COMES IN IN MARCH AS PART OF THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND HE SAYS YOU HAVE GOOD INFO ON THIS SO I WILL
EXTEND ñ ASK TO EXTEND THE WARRANT AGAIN.
THAT IS THE BIG CRIME OF ROSENSTEIN ACCORDING TO THE
REPUBLICANS.
BUT THEY DON'T WANT HIM TO DO HIS JOB, THEY WANT TO FIRE
ANYONE WHO WILL BECAUSE THEY DON'T BELIEVE IN THE WORD OF
LAW.
