>> YOU HAVE A FISA REPORT
COMING OUT WHICH THE WORD IS
IT'S HISTORIC.
THAT'S WHAT THE WORD IS
THAT'S WHAT I HEAR.
AND IF IT'S HISTORIC, YOU
ARE GOING TO SEE SOMETHING.
THIS WAS SPYING ON MY
CAMPAIGN.
SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER
BEEN DONE IN THE HISTORY OF
OUR COUNTRY.
THIS WAS AN OVERTHROW
ATTEMPT AT THE PRESIDENCY.
THEY TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE
PRESIDENCY THIS IS A
DISGRACE.
PETE: THE MEDIA IS ALREADY
JUMPING THE GUN AND DOWN
PLAYING ITS FINDINGS BEFORE
THE DECEMBER 9TH RELEASE.
AINSLEY: HERE TO REACT IS
CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE AND JASON
CHAFFETZ.
PETE: AND FATHER OF TWO.
>> YES, I AM.
ED: ALL RIGHT, GRANDPA, WHAT
ARE WE GOING TO GET?
>> I DON'T THINK IT'S A
COINCIDENCE THAT DONALD
TRUMP MAKES THESE COMMENTS
LESS THAN 8 HOURS LATER.
THE "NEW YORK TIMES" AND
"THE WASHINGTON POST" ALMOST
SIMULTANEOUSLY WITHIN THE
HOUR COME OUT WITH A STORY
TRYING TO DIMINISH WHAT THE
PRESIDENT WAS SAYING.
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL HAS
NOW, IF THE REPORT IS
CORRECT, WILL BE MAKING HIS
FOURTH REFERRAL TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FOR
POTENTIAL CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION OR ENTER AGENCY
DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
THAT MEANS THE DIRECTOR OF
THE FBI, THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR
OF THE FBI, THE DEPUTY
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE
FBI AND NOW COUNSEL WITHIN
THE FBI WOULD BE RECOMMENDED
FOR POTENTIAL CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION OR DISCIPLINARY
ACTION.
THAT IS AS SERIOUS AS IT
GETS.
RACHEL: WHAT THEY ARE TRYING
TO SAY THIS PERSON, SMITH I
GUESS IS HIS LAST NAME.
>> CLINESMITH.
RACHEL: CLINESMITH IS A LOW
LEVEL PERSON.
WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT
SOMEBODY THIS CLOSE TO THIS
HEAT IS A LOW LEVEL ATTORNEY
IN THE FBI?
>> THE ALLEGATION IS AS
SERIOUS AS IT GETS.
THAT IS DOCTORING
DOCUMENTATION THAT THEN GOES
TO A COURT.
THAT IS A FELONY.
THIS IS NOT SOME LOW LEVEL
PERSON.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE HIGHEST
LEVEL OF SECURITY AT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN
ORDER TO BE INVOLVED IN
THIS.
THIS ATTORNEY WAS ALSO
INVOLVED IN THE CLINTON
EMAIL SCANDAL.
THIS FISA ABUSE ISSUE.
HE WAS ALSO PART OF THE
MUELLER TEAM OR AT LEAST
ASSIGNED TO PART OF THE
TEAM.
SO, THE HIGHEST PROFILE CASE
IS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE, THIS WAS THE
ATTORNEY WORKING ON THOSE
CASES.
SO, THIS ARTICLE TRIES TO
DIMINISH HIM AS SOME LOW
LEVEL PERSON WHO, YOU KNOW,
PROBABLY WENT ROGUE, BUT
THAT'S THE PERSON THAT THEY
USED AND DOCTORING THE
DOCUMENTATION TO SPY ON A
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
THAT'S PRETTY SERIOUS.
PETE: COULD IT BE SO BIG
THAT IT CHANGES THE
CONVERSATION?
WE HAVE SEEN HOW POTENTIALLY
THE HEARINGS IN THE HOUSE
COMMITTEE MAY END UP BOOMER
RANKING AGAINST THE
DEMOCRATS.
DOES IT GET IN THIS TOWN AND
ELSEWHERE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
WHAT HAPPENED IN 2016.
THAT'S A HEAVY LIFT.
THE IDEA THAT THE MAINSTREAM
MEDIA IS GOING TO PAY
ATTENTION TO THIS.
I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.
THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF.
IT IS REAL.
IT IS BASED ON FACT.
HOROWITZ WAS APPOINTED BY
PRESIDENT OBAMA, UNANIMOUSLY
CONFIRMED TO THE UNITED
STATES SENATE.
HE HAS TAKEN A YEAR AND A
HALF TO DO IT.
AND IT'S JUST THE PRECURSOR,
IF YOU WILL.
TO WHAT MR. DURNL IS DOING.
THE U.S. ATTORNEY WHO CAN
THEN POTENTIALLY PROSECUTE
PEOPLE.
I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE
HAVEN'T SEEN JURVE IN
WASHINGTON, D.C.
WE'LL HAVEN'T SEEN PEOPLE IN
HANDCUFFS.
AND CLINESMITH, IS PROBABLY
THE LEADING CANDIDATE TO DO
THAT.
ED: JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES
COMEY, ARE THEY GOING TO
SKATE AGAIN.
RACHEL: THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE
THINKS.
>> I'M WORRIED THAT'S THE
CASE.
HIGHEST LEVEL AT THE FBI,
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
I DO THINK BRENNAN AND
CLAPPER, THE D&I AND THE CIA
WILL ALSO BE IMPLICATED IN
THIS REPORT.
LINDSEY GRAHAM WILL TAKE
THIS VERY SERIOUSLY, WHEN
THE REPORT COMES OUT ON
