US.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> NICE TO BE WITH YOU.
>> Bill: KEEP IT ROLLING AS IT
UNFOLDS NOW.
FALLOUT OVER THE KEY FINDINGS
IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT'S
INTERNAL WATCH DOWN REPORT.
THE I.G. IS MICHAEL HOROWITZ
SCREEN CENTER DECLARING NO
POLITICAL BIAS IN THE F.B.I.'S
RUSSIA INVESTIGATION.
IN THAT REPORT, HOWEVER, HE
FOUND 17 INACCURACIES AND
OMISSIONS AS WELL AS LEARNING
THAT THE FAULTY STEELE DOSSIER
WAS USED TO GET A FISA WARRANT
FROM THE COURT.
BOTH SIDES NOW SPINNING THIS IN
THEIR FAVOR.
HERE IS A SAMPLE OF THAT.
>> THIS WAS AN ATTEMPTED
OVERTHROW AND A LOT OF PEOPLE
WERE IN ON IT.
AND THEY GOT CAUGHT.
THEY GOT CAUGHT RED-HANDED.
>> FOR TWO YEARS THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES ACCUSED
OUR PREMIER LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY OF TREASON, TRYING TO
DEFEAT HIM AND TRYING TO STOP
HIM.
IT TURNS OUT THAT WAS ALL
NONSENSE.
>> YOU CAN ARGUE IF YOU WOULD
LIKE THAT THERE WAS A LEGAL
PREDICATE TO START THE
INVESTIGATION.
IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME.
IF IT STARTED LEGITIMATE IT
BECAME CRIMINAL PRETTY QUICK.
>> Bill: GOOD MORNING, DAVID.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM
D.O.J. OFFICIALS?
>> WELL GOOD MORNING, BILL.
WE'RE HEARING FROM ALL
DIFFERENT KINDS OF OFFICIALS.
A LOT OF FALLOUT.
476-PAGE REPORT REALLY OFFERED
A LOT YESTERDAY.
SOME ARE CALLING IT A MIXED BAG
OF CONCLUSIONS.
AS YOU MENTIONED IT CERTAINLY
DID NOT LET THE F.B.I. OFF THE
HOOK.
AT THE SAME TIME IT SHOWED
THERE WERE NO MAJOR BIASES WHEN
INVESTIGATING THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN.
NO POLITICAL BIASES.
THAT'S A KEY POINT RIGHT THERE.
THE BIG THING THIS MORNING
WE'RE HEARING FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
WHO WAS CRITICAL OF THE CURRENT
F.B.I. DIRECTOR CHRIS WRAY.
LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THIS REPORT'S FINDINGS.
17 ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE
CARTER PAGE FISA APPLICATIONS.
CARTER PAGE, THE FORMER TRUMP
CAMPAIGN AIDE SURVEILLED IN
2016.
NOW THE REPORT BEGAN AFTER
AUTHORITIES BELIEVE HE HAD
CONTACTS WITH RUSSIA.
LAST NIGHT F.B.I. DIRECTOR WRAY
DISPUTED THE CLAIM OF THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS ALLIES ABOUT
A DEEP STATE CONSPIRACY ON THE
TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
>> BASED ON THE FINDINGS IN THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT THE
F.B.I. WASN'T PART OF SOME DEEP
STATE.
>> I THINK THAT'S THE KIND OF
LABEL THAT IS A DISSERVICE TO
THE 37,000 MEN AND WOMEN WHO
WORK AT THE F.B.I. WHO I THINK
TACKLE THEIR JOBS WITH
PROFESSIONALISM AND RIGOR, WITH
OBJECTIVITY AND WITH COURAGE.
SO THAT'S NOT A TERM I WOULD
EVER USE TO DESCRIBE OUR
WORKFORCE.
AND I THINK IT'S AN AFFRONT TO
THEM.
>> THE PRESIDENT THIS MORNING
ON TWITTER CRITICIZING
CHRISTOPHER WRAY.
HE WROTE I DON'T KNOW WHAT
REPORT CURRENT DIRECTOR OF THE
F.B.I. CHRISTOPHER WRAY WAS
READING.
IT SURE WASN'T THE ONE GIVEN TO
ME.
WITH THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE HE
WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO FIX THE
F.B.I. WHICH IS BADLY BROKEN
DESPITE HAVING SOME OF THE
GREATEST MEN AND WOMEN WORKING
THERE.
MANY F.B.I. AGENTS WOULD TAKE
ISSUE WITH THE PRESIDENT'S
CHARACTERIZATION SAYING THAT
THERE WERE SOME ERRORS, YES,
BUT THE OVERALL MISSION OF THE
F.B.I. IS A POSITIVE MISSION
AND THERE ARE HARD WORKING
PEOPLE THERE.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR AT
THE D.O.J. WILL BE SPEAKING AT
A FORUM IN WASHINGTON TODAY ON
CAMERA.
YOU CAN BET HE WILL ADDRESS
THIS WHEN THOSE COMMENTS COME
WE'LL BRING THOSE TO YOU ON
