THANK SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.
LET ME KICK IT OFF WITH YOU,
TREY.
YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH LAST THREE
YEARS ALONG WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES
JOHN RATCLIFFE AND DEVIN NUNEZ
TO REALLY EXPOSE THE TRUTH.
YOUR REACTION TO WHAT WE'RE
HEARING THIS MORNING IN TERMS OF
WHEN THIS INVESTIGATION BEGAN,
UNLAWFUL SPYING AND INFORMANT
THROWN AT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN
EARLY 2016?
>> YEAH, I MEAN I, I THINK THIS
MORNING COMEY ADMITTED HE WAS
WRONG.
SOMETIMES, MARIA, IT IS BETTER
LATE THAN NEVER.
SOMETIMES IT IS JUST TOO DAMN
LATE.
COMEY IS TWO YEARS TWO LATE.
WE COULD HAVE USED HIS
OBJECTIVITY, AS HEAD OF THE FBI
HELPING REPUBLICAN FIGURE OUT
WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH FISA
INSTEAD OF THWARTING US,
OBSTRUCTING US.
HE SAID IT WAS POLICY AND
PROCEDURE ISSUE.
IT'S NOT, MARIA.
THERE ALWAYS HAS BEEN POLICIES
AGAINST MANUFACTURING EVIDENCE,
THIS IS NOT NEW POLICIES THIS IS
PERSONNEL ISSUE.
IT IS THE WRONG PEOPLE IN THE
WRONG POSITIONS OF POWER.
THAT WILL NOT BE FIXED WITH NEW
POLICY AND PROCEDURE.
IT WILL BE FIXED BY REPLACING
PEOPLE WHO DID WHAT THEY DID IN
2016.
MARIA: THE OTHER THING IS, THEY
KEEP SAYING NO BIAS, THAT DIDN'T
AFFECT WHAT THEY WERE DOING,
KIM, YET WE'VE GOT ALL THE TEXTS
THAT SAYS, OH, WE'LL HAVE
PRESSURE TO END THE MID-YEAR
EXAM OF THE HILLARY CLINTON
INVESTIGATION, JUST BY THE FACT
THAT TED CRUZ DROPPED OUT OF THE
CASE.
THAT WAS THE TEXT MICHAEL
MUKASEY POINTED OUT EARLIER.
THAT TELLS YOU THEY WERE
CHANGING BEHAVIOR IN TERMS OF
THE HILLARY CLINTON
INVESTIGATION AND TRUMP
INVESTIGATION AS A RESULT OF
WHAT HAPPENED?
>> WELL, MARIA, IT IS REALLY
IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE
I.G. REALLY DID FIND IN TERMS OF
POLITICAL BIAS BECAUSE IT HAS
BEEN MISCHARACTERIZED.
WHAT HE SAID HE DIDN'T FIND
DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF BIAS.
HE DIDN'T FIND LETTERHEAD
SOMEWHERE WITH DOJ ON TOP OF IT,
SAYING LET'S TAKE OUT TRUMP.
HE ADDRESSES THE FACT THERE WAS
BIAS IN HIS REPORT, AT LEAST
FROM A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE
AMONG THE TEXTS YOU JUST NOTED.
LOOK, HE ALSO LAID OUT FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SEE, DOZENS
UPON DOZENS OF WAYS IN WHICH THE
FBI ABUSED AND MA NIP LAYED THE
FISA COURT.
WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO,
PEOPLE, HERE IS THE EVIDENCE,
YOU MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT.
ANYONE WITH A BRAIN WHO LOOKS AT
THIS OF COURSE THERE WAS BIAS.
ALL ERRORS GO ONE DIRECTION.
MARIA: THAT IS WHAT YOU SAID
EARLIER, TREY, THE BIAS RAN
THROUGH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT.
IT IS CLEAR FOR EVERYONE TO SEE?
>> YEAH.
YOU HAVE FUSION GPS, KRIS
STEELE, HILLARY CLINTON,
MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ALL THEIR WORK
PRODUCT MADE ITS WAY INTO THE
APPLICATION FOR FISA.
IT IS ONE THING TO HAVE NAKED
BIAS EVERYONE CAN SEE AND JUDGE
FOR THEMSELVES.
IT'S ANOTHER THING WHEN YOU
LAUNDER THAT BIAS THROUGH THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, PLACE
THE DOJ, FBI AND PRESENT IT TO A
COURT.
THERE IS NO QUESTION BIAS MADE
ITS WAY INTO THE BIAS
APPLICATION.
HOROWITZ SAID I COULDN'T FIND IT
AT BEGINNING.
WE DAMN SURE FOUND IT AT THE
END.
IT IS OCCURRED PLEADING OF THE
IMPRAMTURE IN DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE.
MARIA: KLEIN KRIEN CONTINUES TO
TALK ABOUT HOW THE FBI WAS
EXONERATED.
I SAW YOUR TWEET OVER THE
WEEKEND, KIM, WHERE HILLARY
CLINTON TWEETS OUT MAKE SURE
YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SEE
EVIDENCE FOR THEMSELVES.
YOU ANSWER HER AND SAY, MAKE
SURE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SEE
THE I.G. REPORT.
CLINTON JUST DIDN'T INVITE
FOREIGN INFLUENCE IN 2016, SHE
PAID FOR IT.
>> THERE IS A DOUBLE STANDARD
THAT CONTINUES TO GO ON HERE.
IT IS AMAZING HILLARY CLINTON
GETS AWAY WITH THIS, THE PRESS
DOESN'T CALL HER OUT FOR IT.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE IN 2016 A
CLEAR EVIDENCE THAT THIS IG
REPORT THAT ONE CAMPAIGN DID
INDEED PAY TO HAVE RUSSIAN
INFORMATION, DISINFORMATION AS
IT TURNS OUT, MISINFORMATION,
SENT TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND USED IN AN ACTUAL PROCEEDING
AGAINST AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT
IS BEYOND DISPUTE.
THE IDEA THAT SHE CAN JUST GET
AWAY WITH THIS, NO ONE WILL SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IN THE
CONTEXT OF THE IMPEACHMENT
PROCEEDINGS THAT WE'RE GOING ON
RIGHT NOW, THIS IS A DOUBLE
STANDARD THAT IS BEYOND THE
PALE.
MARIA: REAL QUICK.
WE'LL HAVE GEORGE PAPDOPOULUS UP
NEXT, TREY.
YOU MENTIONED EXCULPATORY
EVIDENCE A COUPLE TIMES WHEN YOU
WERE WITH ME BEFORE?
>> YEAH.
HOROWITZ MADE AN OBLIQUE
REFERENCE TO WHAT I WAS TALKING
TO YOU ABOUT, WHICH IS A
TRANSCRIPT.
WHEN THE TARGET OF YOUR
INVESTIGATION SAYS, THIS IS
TREASONOUS ACTIVITY I WOULD
NEVER ENGAGE IN, GUESS WHAT,
COMEY THAT IS EXCULPATORY
INFORMATION, THE COURT NEEDS TO
BE TOLD THAT.
IT IS FUNDAMENTALLY FAIR THING
TO PAPADOPOULOS AND THEY WERE
NOT TOLD.
MARIA: THANKS SO MUCH.
TREY GOWDY, KIM STRASSEL.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
