>> Charles: FORMER FBI AGENT
PETER STRZOK ACCUSING THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF VIOLATING
HIS RIGHTS IN A NEW COURT FILING
TODAY.
SO HOW WILL IT PLAY OUT?
DOUG BURNS IS HERE WITH ME NOW.
PETER STRZOK SAYS THAT THE
GOVERNMENT VIOLATED HIS RIGHTS.
>> VERY, VERY WEAK CLAIM.
IT IS SOME SLEIGHT-OF-HAND.
THEY WERE SAYING IT FROM THE
BEGINNING WHICH IS THAT WE ARE
ENTITLED TO OUR OWN PRIVATE
POLITICAL OPINIONS.
THAT IS COMPLETE RUBBISH, TO USE
A BRITISH PHRASE.
THEY ARE AT WORK AND WORKING ON
AN INVESTIGATION INVOLVING THAT
SUBJECT MATTER, SO IF I LEAVE MY
JOB, GO HOME AND TELL MY WIFE
EITHER WAY, MY POLITICAL OPINION
ON THE MATTER IS SUCH AND SUCH,
IT CAN'T BE THAT I'M WORKING ON
A MATTER THAT I CAN'T DO AT WORK
WITH EMAILS FROM WORK.
THEY ARE MAKING IT INTO A VERY
WEAK CLAIM.
IT IS NOT GOING TO GO ANYWHERE.
>> Charles: SOMEONE MUST HAVE
TOLD HIM AND LISA PAGE THAT IT
IS TIME TO GO ON THE OFFENSE.
>> IT IS ACTUALLY PRETTY IRONIC,
SERIOUSLY.
THEY ARE TAKING A PAGE FROM
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
LET'S GO ON THE
COUNTEROFFENSIVE, GO ON THE
OTHER SIDE.
LEGALLY, IT IS VERY WEAK.
>> Charles: WHERE DOES THIS GO
FROM HERE?
SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE
UNSETTLED.
PROBABLY ALONG WITH THE VIEWERS,
I LOSE TRACK OF THESE THINGS.
WHERE IS PETER STRZOK?
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH
SOME OF THESE THINGS?
FOR MORE OF THESE
INVESTIGATIONS --
>> THAT IS A GREAT POINT BECAUSE
THE AVERAGE PERSON, THE JURY,
THE PUBLIC, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THEY ARE NOW FOLLOWING ALL OF
THIS MY NEW SHOW.
EVEN DURING ALL OF THE HEARINGS,
HE HAD THAT CUP OF COFFEE AT
10:16, NOT 10:18.
PEOPLE ARE NOT FOLLOWING THAT
MUCH OF MY NEW SHOW.
AGAIN, LIKE A BROKEN RECORD, IT
IS JUST A COUNTEROFFENSIVE,
WHICH IS VERY WEAK, LEGALLY.
>> Charles: BRINGING UP
JAMES COMEY, HE PENNED AN OP-ED
TODAY ON WHAT IT IS LIKELY TO BE
PERSONALLY AND PUBLICLY ATTACKED
BY PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR HIM IN A
CASE BEYOND HAVING HIS FEELINGS
HURT?
>> ALL VETERANS AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT?
THEY ARE GOING TO TELL YOU, AS
THEY HAVE IN THE PAST, AND ANY
KIND OF CONTEXT WHERE YOUR
BEHAVIORS BEING LOOKED AT, WHICH
IS IS, YOU DON'T MAKE A LOT OF
PUBLIC STATEMENTS.
SO WE ARE SCRATCHING OUR HEADS.
I HAVE A LOT OF DOJ CONNECTIONS
AND FBI AGENTS AND PROSECUTORS,
AND THEY ARE ALL SAYING THAT HIS
BEHAVIOR IS VERY, VERY ODD.
I AM NOT A PSYCHIATRIST.
BUT IT IS HUBRIS.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
HE GOT SO INTOXICATED WITH
HIMSELF.
I DON'T KNOW HIM, BY THE WAY,
PERSONALLY.
BUT HE GOES ON AND ON.
>> Charles: IT FEELS LIKE HE
WANTS TO MAKE HIS CURRENT LIFE A
REALITY SHOW.
WE HEAR FROM THEM ALL THE TIME.
OR HE WILL SAY I'M NOT GOING TO
SAY ANYTHING, AND THEN TWO DAYS
LATER --
>> YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T FAULT A
PERSON FOR TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
IT.
YOU ARE THE BUSINESS EXPERT.
IF WE HAVE CREATED A CLIMATE
WHERE IT CAN TRANSLATE INTO BOOK
DEALS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH,
YOU DON'T FAULT THEM, BUT IT IS
GROSSLY INCONSISTENT WITH WHAT
YOU SHOULD BE DOING IF YOUR
CONDUCT IS BEING LOOKED AT.
>> Charles: THERE IS A LEVEL
OF PROFESSIONALISM THERE.
I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT ONE MORE
THING.
TAKE A LISTEN TO THIS.
>> OH, GOD, I HOPE IT DOES.
LET HER GO.
>> Charles: 2020 DEMOCRAT
JOE BIDEN GETTING HECKLED OVER
THE WEEKEND A MINUTE REVERSING
THE COURSE THAT SAYING HE WOULD
COMPLY IF SUBPOENAED.
IT WAS PRETTY TOUGH TRYING ALIGN
SAYING THAT HE WOULD NOT COMPLY.
HE SORT OF MUDDLED EVERYTHING.
>> HE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE.
HE DIRECTED PEOPLE NOT TO COMPLY
WITH SUBPOENAS.
HE IS SAYING I AM NOT GOING TO
COMPLY.
BUT IN FAIRNESS, I AM NOT GOING
TO PILE IT ON.
IN LESS HE WAS GOING TO
CHALLENGE IT IN COURT, IF IT
CAME OUT WRONG.
HE HAD TO WALK IT BACK.
>> Charles: HE DID SAY THAT BY
COMPLYING, IT WAS TAKING THE
SPOTLIGHT OFF OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
SO THE RATIONALE -- GO MORE LIKE
A PUBLIC RELATIONS P.R.
RATIONALE.
KEEPS HEAT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP,
NOT ON ME OR MY SON.
BUT IF YOU GET A SUBPOENA, YOU
