PEOPLE.
HE FOUND MISTAKES, NEGLIGENCE
AND OVERSIGHT.
>> NO, NO THAT IS NOT RIGHT.
>> Shannon: POLITICAL ANALYST
BRIT HUME WHO WATCH THIS WITH
MUCH OF AMERICA, GOOD TO SEE YOU
COME UP.
>> LET'S START WITH THE
STEELE DOSSIER BECAUSE WHEN YOU
LOOK AT HOROWITZ AND WHAT HE PUT
TOGETHER HE TALKS ABOUT FOR THE
LARGE SECTION OF THE ATTORNEY
AND THE GROUP PUTTING IT
TOGETHER FOR THE FISA
APPLICATION, IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT TIPPED THEM TOWARDS
PROBABLE CAUSE.
>> IT DID AND DESCRIBED BY THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL AS A CENTRAL,
WHICH DOES NOT SQUARE WITH WHAT
COMEY HAS SAID HOW THE PROCESS
WORKED AND WHAT ROLE THE DOSSIER
PLAYED.
FOR HIM TO BE ANNOUNCING IT DOES
NOT ALLEGE MISCONDUCT BY THE FBI
IS LAUGHABLE.
OF COURSE, IT ALLEGES
MISCONDUCT.
IT IS NOT STATED SLOPPINESS.
IT WAS NOT SLOPPINESS BUT A
SERIES OF ERRORS AND OTHERS HAVE
POINTED OUT IN THE SAME
DIRECTION ALL NEGATIVE FOR THE
PRESIDENT.
EXCULPATORY INFORMATION KNOWN TO
THE FBI PEOPLE WAS KEPT OUT OR
AWAY FROM THE FISA JUDGES.
THIS, TOO MANY DEFINITION, IS
MISCONDUCT.
>> Shannon: SO CHRIS SPOKE
WITH HOUSE INTELLIGENCE, NOW THE
CHAIR ADAM SCHIFF WHO SAID
LISTEN HINDSIGHT IS 20/20.
WE WILL PLAY THAT AND TALK ABOUT
IT.
>> THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOUND
SERIOUS ABUSES OF FISA I WAS
UNAWARE OF.
HAD I KNOWN, CHRIS, YES I WOULD
CALL OUT THE FBI AT THE SAME
TIME, BUT I THINK IT IS ONLY
FAIR TO JUDGE WHAT WE KNEW AT
THE TIME, NOT WHAT WOULD BE
REVEALED TWO YEARS LATER.
>> Shannon: THIS TAKES US BACK
TO FEBRUARY 2018 OR DEVIN NUNES
PUT OUT A MEMO AND SAID THIS "IN
THE CASE OF CARTER PAGE THE
GOVERNMENT HAD FOUR INDEPENDENT
OPPORTUNITIES BEFORE THE FOREIGN
INTELLIGENCE COURT TO ACCURATELY
PROVIDE AN ACCOUNTING OF THE
RELATIVE FACTS.
HOWEVER, DESCRIBE A LITTLE
MATERIAL RELEVANT INFORMATION
WAS OMITTED.
ALSO FEBRUARY 2018, RESPOND.
ADAM SCHIFF WITH HOUSE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE THAMES
AND THE MINORITIES HAD FBI AND
DOJ OFFICIALS DID NOT ABUSE
THE INTELLIGENCE ACT PROCESS OR
OMIT -- TO SPY ON THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN.
SO THESE TWO HAVE BUTTED HEADS
OVER THIS INFORMATION
FEBRUARY 2018.
>> AND OF COURSE, THE IG REPORT,
BUT FLIES IN THE FACE OF MUCH
DEVIN NUNES MEMO THAT GREW OUT
OF THE LEAD IN HOUSE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE AND
INVESTIGATION OF THE
INVESTIGATION.
AND THE WHOLE
RUSSIA/TRUMP/RUSSIA AFFAIR.
AND FOR SCHIFF NOW TO CLAIM AND
HE NOT ONLY SAW WHAT NUNES SAID
BUT PUBLISHED A MEMO REBUTTING
IT AND DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THOSE
IS PREPOSTEROUS.
>> Shannon: FEBRUARY 2018,
CLEARLY HAVE BEEN A CONVERSATION
THEM.
>> OF COURSE HE KNEW ABOUT IT.
>> Shannon: DO YOU THINK YOU
WILL GET CALLED ON THE CARPET
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
FOLLOWING IT FOR TWO YEARS?
>> WELL, ONE OF THE WONDROUS TO
ME IS MODERN MEDIA AND
COLLEAGUES TO SEE THROUGH THIS
GUY, SCHIFF.
HE HAS BEEN DISHONEST
REPEATEDLY.
HE MADE EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS ABOUT
RUSSIAN COLLUSION EVIDENCE THAT
TURNED OUT TO NOT EVEN COME AT
THE MEAL OR TEAM WITH ALL OF ITS
INVESTIGATION DID NOT DISCOVER.
AND NEVER SPECIFIED, SCHIFF AND
THE REPORT CAME OUT AND
BASICALLY BLEW UP THE RUSSIAN
COLLUSION THEORY.
NOW COMES THIS QUESTION OF FISA
ABUSE AND HE IS STILL TELLING
WHOPPERS ABOUT THAT.
IT IS AMAZING HE HAS NOT BEEN
CALLED OUT AND THEN COME OF
COURSE, HE GETS TAPPED BY
NANCY PELOSI TO LEAD IMPEACHMENT
INQUIRY, WOW!
>> Shannon: WHAT HE DIDN'T
KNOW BACK THEN, JAMES COMEY WITH
WHAT HE SHOULD OR SHOULD HAVE
KNOWN WITH REGARD TO THE FISA
APPLICATIONS WHICH HE HAD TO
SIGN OFF ON.
SO CHRIS SAID TO HIM, LISTEN YOU
ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU WERE IN CHARGE WHEN SOME OF
THIS STUFF HAPPENED.
SO SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE KNOWN
MORE?
THIS IS WHAT COMEY SAID IN
RESPONSE.
>> AS A DIRECTOR SITTING ON TOP
OF AN ORGANIZATION OF 38,000
PEOPLE, YOU CAN'T RUN AN
INVESTIGATION THAT IS SEVEN
LAYERS BELOW YOU.
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT TO THE
CAREER PROFESSIONALS TO DO TO
THE SPECIAL AGENTS WHO DO THIS
FOR THEIR LIVES.
IF A DIRECTOR TRIES TO RUN AN
INVESTIGATION, IT WILL GET
MUCKED UP IN ALL DIFFERENT KINDS
OF WAYS.
>> Shannon: THAT IS FAIR.
HE'S RUNNING THE FBI AND NOT
MANAGING ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS.
>> THAT WOULD BE FAIR IF THIS
WERE ATYPICAL FBI INVESTIGATION
MY FIELD OFFICE IN FLAGSTAFF,
ARIZONA, OR SOMETHING.
THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
THIS INVESTIGATION WAS RAN AT
HEADQUARTERS, MOREOVER, IT WAS
AN EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION
BECAUSE IMPLICATED IN IT WAS A
CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF
THE UNITED STATES.
AND A LEADING CANDIDATE AT THE
TIME WHEN THEY UNDERTOOK THE
INVESTIGATION.
THE IDEA THAT THE DIRECTOR OF
THE FBI WOULD NOT HAVE AND DID
NOT KNOW ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON
THERE WAS REMARKABLE.
AND FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION
THAT THAT IS TRUE AND HE DIDN'T
KNOW.
THAT IS EVEN WORSE AND AWAY.
HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.
HE IS THE DIRECTOR.
THE PUCK IS SUPPOSED TO STOP
WITH HIM AND INDEED, THE WARRANT
APPLICATION STOOD STOP WITH HIM
BECAUSE HE SIGNED THEM.
THAT IS NONSENSE WHAT HE IS
SAYING.
>> Shannon: FBI DIRECTOR
CHRISTOPHER WRAY WITH MASSIVE
OVERHAUL REFORMS AS A RESULT
WHAT THEY FOUND AND THAT IS GOOD
FOR AMERICANS, BUT AS YOU SAID
MY CREDIT TO COMEY AND SCHIFF TO
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION IS ALSO
IMPORTANT.
