DAVID SPUNT, GREAT REPORTING.
THANKS.
WE’LL SEE WHAT COME OUT OF THERE
THIS AFTERNOON.
MY NEXT GUEST WAS CHAIRMAN OF
THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
DURING THE SUMMER OF 2016 WHEN
THE CONVERSATION WITH HILLARY
CLINTON THAT ROBBIE MOOK
REFERENCED IN COURT TODAY TOOK
PLACE.
LET’S BRING IN DEVIN NUNES FROM
THE TRUMP MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY
GROUP.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US TODAY.
YOU TOOK A LOT OF GRIEF
THROUGHOUT THIS STORY FOR GOING
OVER TO THE WHITE HOUSE, FOR
GIVING THEM A HEADS-UP THAT
THERE WERE INVESTIGATIONS GOING
ON AND THAT THERE WAS
INDICATIONS THAT A LOT OF THIS
WAS COOKED UP AS OPPOSITION
RESEARCH DURING THE COURSE OF
THE CAMPAIGN.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU
HEAR THAT ROBBIE MOOK SAYS YEAH,
WE TOOK IT TO HILLARY AND SHE
SAID ABSOLUTELY.
YOU SHOULD GET IT OUT THERE TO
THE PRESS.
MOOK SAID WE FIGURED IT WAS THE
PRESS’S JOB TO FIGURE OUT IF
THERE’S ANY SUBSTANCE THERE.
>> YEAH, THAT IS AN INTERESTING
DEVELOPMENT.
CLEARLY WE KNOW THAT ALL OF
THESE CATS OUT THERE, THEY KNEW
ABOUT IT.
WE KNEW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
WE KNEW THERE WAS NO
INTELLIGENCE THAT SHOWED THAT
THE RUSSIANS AND TRUMP OR
REPUBLICANS HAD ANYTHING TO DO
WITH ANY OF THIS.
SO WHY IS THIS INTERESTING
TODAY?
IT’S THE FACT THAT MOOK WOULD
TURN OVER HIS FORMER BOSS AS THE
CAMPAIGN MANAGER THAT CLEARLY
HAD TO HAVE AUTHORIZED FUSION
GPS, SUSSMANN, PERKINS LAW FIRM AND SOLD IT OUT TO THE MEDIA.
AND SOLD IT OUT TO THE MEDIA.
SO THIS IS AN INTERESTING
REVELATION.
THE FACT THAT HE WOULD GIVE UP
THAT EVIDENCE ALMOST UNPROMPTED
FROM WHAT I’M HEARING AND SEEING
OUTSIDE OF THE COURTROOM.
>> Martha: YEAH.
SO, YOU KNOW, THE SUGGESTION WAS
IN THE PUBLIC THAT HILLARY
STARTED READING THE STORIES,
TOO.
SHE STARTED TWEETING ABOUT THEM.
RETWEETED THE STORIES THAT
APPEARED IN THE PRESS.
HERE’S ONE TWEET.
IT’S TIME FOR TRUMP TO ANSWER
SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS TIES
TO RUSSIA.
FOUR THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT THE TRUMP ORGANIZATIONS
SECRET SERVER TO COMMUNICATE
WITH ALPHA BANK.
IT GOES ON TO DELINEATE WHAT SHE
SEES AS SUSPICIOUS WE HAY I
DON’T REMEMBER HERE.
WHAT STRIKES ME IS MOOK AND
CLINTON PUT OUT COMPUTER
SCIENTISTS HAVE UNCOVERED
THERE’S A LINK BETWEEN THE TRUMP
SERVER AND ALPHA BACK.
YOU GO BACK TO THE TECH
EXECUTIVE NUMBER 1 THAT HE WAS
HIRED TO UNCOVER INFORMATION
THAT HE HAD ACCESS TO TO FIND A
NARRATIVE THAT WOULD BE
NEGATIVE.
THE COMPUTER SCIENTISTS ACT LIKE
THEY’RE THESE AMAZING RANDOM
RESEARCHERS THAT UNCOVERED
SOMETHING AND IT APPEARS THAT
THEY WERE DIRECTED BY MARK ELIAS
AND FUSION IT APPEARS.
>> YEAH, IT’S VERY SIMILAR TO
THE WHOLE THING OF HOW THEY
HIRED CHRISTOPHER STEELE.
HE WAS A FORMER MI6 GUY.
HE’S THE GUY THEY WANTED.
YOU TAKE THE RUSSIAN, THAT
WASN’T REALLY RUSSIAN, HE WORKED
IN WASHINGTON D.C., THIS WAS
SIMILAR, THIS CAME AFTER THE
FACT.
THIS INFORMATION WENT IN TO THE
STEELE DOSSIER.
SO WHAT THEY DID THERE AT THE
END, RIGHT IN LATE OCTOBER, IT
WAS THEIR LAST GASP EFFORT TO DO
AN OCTOBER SURPRISE.
WHAT COMES AFTER THAT IS MORE
INTERESTING.
WHEN THESE GUYS GO INTO LATER IN
TO THE CIA AND OTHER
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, IT’S
AFTER DONALD TRUMP WON.
NOW THEY HAVE WENT FROM A DIRTY
TRICKS, TRYING TO DESTROY HER
SERVERS, THEY MOVED IN TO HAVING
TO FBI TO FURTHER THEIR
INVESTIGATION AND PUBLICIZE
THEIR INVESTIGATION THAT LED TO
MUELLER, THAT LED TO THIS WHOLE
MESS, WHICH IS A VERY DARK
CHAPTER OF AMERICAN HISTORY
ESPECIALLY FOR THE DIRTY COPS AT
THE FBI AND DOJ THAT KNEW ABOUT
THIS.
THE CLINTONS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN UP
TO DIRTY TRICKS.
BUT THE FACT THAT CORRUPTED
TELEVISION AND MEDIA, SOME
SITTING IN COURT LIVE PUTTING
OUT LIVE REPORTS, THEY WERE THE
ONES THAT RECEIVED THIS VERY
INFORMATION AND WROTE ABOUT IT
AND NOW THEY ACT LIKE THEY
DIDN’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
IT’S AMAZING TO WATCH THIS
UNFOLD.
I THINK DURHAM’S ISSUE HERE IS
NOT GOING TO BE THAT HE DOESN’T
HAVE ED.
HIS ISSUE WILL CLEARLY BY THAT
95% OF THE PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON
D.C. DIDN’T VOTE FOR DONALD
TRUMP.
THEN YOU HAVE JURORS THAT
SUPPORTED HILLARY CLINTON.
SOME EVEN KNOW SUSSMANN AND
FRIENDS WITH SUSSMANN’S KIDS.
THAT’S DURHAM’S BIGGEST
CHALLENGE HE HAS TO GET OVER.
>> Martha: A LOT OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE VENUE AND HOW
DIFFICULT IT WILL BE.
AND THEN AT HOME, IF NOTHING
CAME OF THIS, IT’S A DELINEATED
QUESTION.
DID SUSSMANN LIE.
THAT’S WHAT THEY HAVE TO DECIDE.
WHAT IS SO INTERESTING ABOUT
THIS IT’S FORCING OUT ALL OF
THIS OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT
WHAT WAS GOING ON.
WE’LL SEE ONCE IT FORCED OUT
THERE WHETHER OR NOT THIS BALL
MOVES FORWARD SEPARATE FROM
PERHAPS THIS VERY FINE POINT
ISSUE THAT IS AT ISSUE IN THIS
