THAT PENNSYLVANIA CONGRESSMAN
GUY RUSHENTHAL.
GOOD TO SEE YOU. NO MENTION WHATSOEVER ON WHEN HE
NO MENTION WHATSOEVER ON WHEN HE
GOTGOT IN OFFICE ON DAY ONE.
DOES JENNIFER THINK THAT HAS
ANYTHING TO DO BECAUSE OF SIMPLE
SUPPLY DEMAND FUNDAMENTALS.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE
SECRETARY THE BENEFIT OF THE
DOUBT BUT IN THIS CASE IS
MISLEADING OR TOTALLY IGNORANT
OF THE FACT BOTH OF WHICH YOU
WOULDN’T EXPECT IN AN
ADMINISTRATOR BUT IF YOU LOOK AT
IT, THE REASON THE GAS PRICES
ARE SO HIGH IS BECAUSE JOE BIDEN
AND THE RADICAL LEFT HAVE IN
ESSENCE DECLARED A WAR IN U.S.
ENERGY PRODUCTION.
JUST AS YOU SAID, MARIA, DAY
NUMBER 1 CANCELING THE KEYSTONE
XL PIPELINE, EVEN BEFORE THAT
BAN DRILLING ON FEDERAL LAND AND
ALSO SAYING THAT HE WAS GOING TO
PHASE OUT HYDROCARBONS DURING
DEMOCRAT DEBATE.
WHAT DOES THAT DO?
THAT DRIVES UP INVESTMENT,
DRIVES UP CAPITAL GOING INTO THE
ENERGY SECTOR SO YOU CANNOT FIND
FUNDING TO BUILD THE PIPELINES
AND THAT’S EVEN WHEN YOU CAN GET
THE PERMITTING OIL AND GAS
INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE THAT
WOULD HELP WITH THE CRISIS.
IS THIS CONVENIENT FOR THEM TO
BLAME PUTIN BUT THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE SOPHISTICATED AND KNOW
GAS PRICES HAVE RISEN EVERY
MONTH SINCE JOE BIDEN TOOK
OFFICE.
MARIA: YEAH, IT’S A GREAT POINT.
I WANT TO TURN TO THE NEW
TESTIMONY AGAINST THE FORMER
CLINTON CAMPAIGN LAWYER MICHAEL
SUSSMANN AND WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN THE DC COURTROOM.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS LIE
THAT JOHN DURHAM IS TELLING US
MICHAEL SUSSMANN MADE WHEN HE
SAID I’M NOT COMING TO THE
BUREAU ON ANYBODY’S BEHALF.
I WANT TO HELP THE BUREAU.
AM I SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT IT
WAS MICHAEL SUSSMANN ALONE WHO
GOT THE FBI TO OPEN UP AN
INVESTIGATION AGAINST DONALD
TRUMP?
I POINT TO A NEW YORK POST STORY
THIS MORNING, HOW THE FBI BIG
WIG AIDED AND ABETTED THE
HILLARY CLINTON PLOT.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO WHAT WE
LEARNED YESTERDAY?
>> WELL, A LOT OF THINGS.
NUMBER 1, SUSSMANN IS IN THIS
POSITION WHERE NO MATTER WHAT WE
ARE ABLE TO BLOW THE NARRATIVE
APART THAT THERE WAS SOME KIND
OF CONSPIRACY WITH RUSSIA AND TO
SHOW THAT THIS WAS ACTUALLY A
HOAX FROM THE START AND HERE IS
WHY.
SUSSMANN’S DEFENSE IS THAT THE
FBI KNEW THAT HE WAS A POLITICAL
OPERATIVE WORKING WITH THE
CLINTON CAMPAIGN AND IF THAT’S
THE CASE, IT SHOWS THE FBI ALL
ALONG KNEW THAT THE STEELE
DOSSIER WAS BUNKED, THAT A LOT
OF THIS INFORMATION IS COMING
FROM FUSION GPS AND THE CLINTON
CAMPAIGN AND IT WASN’T REAL
INTELLIGENT -- REAL
INTELLIGENCE.
THE OTHER THING IS THAT SUSSMANN
WILL HAVE TO SAY THAT HE LIED TO
THE FBI WHICH AGAIN IS WHAT THE
CASE IS TRYING TO PROVE.
BUT REGARDLESS OF ANY KIND OF
CONVICTIONS IN THIS CASE, MARIA,
THE DURHAM PROBE AND THE DURHAM
INVESTIGATION HAS DONE WHAT IT
STARTED OUT TO DO, UNCOVER A LOT
OF EVIDENCE AND ALSO HAS JUST
SHOWN THAT THIS RUSSIAN
CONSPIRACY THEORY IS JUST THAT.
IT WAS PRODUCT OF THE CLINTON
CAMPAIGN, JAMES COMEY AND THE
FBI GOT POLITICAL AND TRIED TO
GO AFTER THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN IN
2016.
TO THAT EXTEND, DURHAM IS
ALREADY SUCCESSFUL REGARDLESS OF
CONVICTIONS.
MARIA: YEAH, NO.
THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT ONE OF THE
KEY CYBER GUYS AT THE FBI KNEW
RIGHT AWAY THAT THERE WAS NO WAY
THAT TRUMP WAS COMMUNICATING
WITH THIS ALPHA BANK, THERE’S NO
WAY OF THE YODA PHONES.
THE CYBER CHIEF HAS ALREADY SAID
THAT.
I KNEW FROM DAY ONE THAT THERE
WAS NOTHING HERE.
THAT WAS IN 2016.
IF YOU FAST-FORWARD TO
JANUARY 2017 WE KNOW THE FBI HAD
3-DAY INTERVIEW AND THAT’S THE
SOURCE OF THE DOSSIER AND SHENKO
TOLD THEM IN 2017 IT WAS ALL
MADE UP.
WE WERE JUST, YOU KNOW, JOKING
AROUND AND HAVING BEERS AND
EMBELLISHING.
THAT WAS JANUARY 2017 THE FBI
KNEW THAT IT WAS BUNK, BUT THEY
CONTINUED TO PURSUED PFIZER
WARRANTS TO SPY ON THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN AND THEY HAD A PFIZER
WARRANT AGAINST CARTER PAGE.
MY QUESTION IS ARE WE GOING TO
SEE FBI AGENTS UP THERE ON STAND
TESTIFYING UNDER OATH BECAUSE
YOU CAN’T POSSIBLY BELIEVE THAT
THIS WHOLE THING STARTED FOR
MICHAEL SUSSMANN.
THE FBI WANTED TO TAKE DOWN
TRUMP.
>> RIGHT.
WE ARE GOING TO SEE FBI AGENTS
VERY LIKELY.
JUST AS YOU WERE SAYING, THE
WHOLE EXERCISE SHOWS FROM THE
VERY START THE FBI KNEW THE
STEELE DOSSIER WAS A PRODUCT OF
THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN, FUSION GPS
AND IT WAS MANUFACTURED.
THEY WENT WITH IT BECAUSE THEY
WANTED TO HURT THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN, THEY WANT TODAY MAKE
SURE THAT IF TRUMP GOT ELECTED
THAT HE WAS GOING TO BE DAMAGED
FROM THE START AND YOU SAW THAT
JUST AS YOU WERE SAYING IN
JANUARY OF 2017 WHEN THEY USED
-- WHEN THEY USED FALSE
INFORMATION TO SPY ON THE
INCOMING TRUMP TEAM AND THE NEW
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AND THINK
WHAT ABOUT THAT DID.
THE FBI GOT POLITICAL AND REALLY
STUNNED THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
FROM THE START, IMAGINE HAD
SUCCESSFUL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
HAD HAY NOT HAD THE CONTROVERSY,
NONSENSE ABOUT COLLUSION WITH
RUSSIA OVER THE ADMINISTRATION
ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST 24
MONTHS OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
MARIA: THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT.
