GOVERNMENT THROUGH THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES AND THEIR
INTERNET RESEARCH, I.R.A. I
THINK ITS CALLED, BEGAN AS
EARLY --
EARLY --
>> AGAIN, OUR INTENTION IS TO
BRING AS MUCH OF THIS
UNINTERRUPTED TO YOU AS
POSSIBLE.
DICK DURKIN IS COMING UP AFTER SENATOR CORNEN OF TEXAS. AFTER
SENATOR CORNEN OF TEXAS. SO MUCH HAS BEEN SAID HERE AND
PLACED

WE WANT TO CORRECT SOME OF THE RECORD AGAINST OF ALL THINGSHE

REPORT.
REPORT.
>> SO IM NOT GOING TO DANCE AROUND THIS. GOING TO DANCE
AROUND THIS.
HES LYING.
HES LYING ABOUT WHAT THE
MUELLER REPORT FINDS AROUND ONE
OF THE CRITICAL FLASHPOINTS IN THE OBSTRUCTION INVESTIGATION.
ONE OF THE INCIDENTS THAT WAS
INVESTIGATED BY ROBERT MUELLER
AND HIS OBSTRUCTION
INVESTIGATORS WAS THE ATTEMPTED
FIRING OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL.
IT WAS ONE OF THE INCIDENTS THAT
WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION INTO
DAYS BEFORE MUELLER WRAPPED UP.
HES QUIBBLING WITH WHETHER
REMOVING MUELLER AND FIRING HIM
IS THE SAME THING. HERES HOW DONALD TRUMP TALKED
ABOUT REMOVING/FIRING SPECIAL
COUNSEL.
COUNSEL.
THIS IS FROM CHRIS CHRISTIES
TESTIMONY.
ONE OF FIVE WITNESSES CITED IN
THE FOOTNOTES, ABOUT DONALD
TRUMPS EFFORTS TO FIRE ROBERT
MUELLER.
HE RECALLED A TELEPHONE
CONVERSATION WITH THE PRESIDENT
IN WHICH THE PRESIDENT ASKED
WHAT CHRISTIE THOUGHT ABOUT THE PRESIDENT FIRING, NOT REMOVING,
THE SPECIAL COUNSEL.
CHRISTIE ADVISED AGAINST DOING SO BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BASISG
SO BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BASIS AND THE PRESIDENT WOULD LOSE
SUPPORT FROM REPUBLICANS IN
CONGRESS.
IM GOING TO DISAGREE WITH HIS
TESTIMONY. HERES McGAHN.
HERES McGAHN. AGAIN, FROM THE FOOTNOTE IN THE
OBSTRUCTION REPORT.
OBSTRUCTION REPORT. ALTHOUGH McGAHN RECALLED
RECEIVING MULTIPLE CALLS FROM
THE PRESIDENT ON THE SAME DAY,
HE WAS NOT SPECIFIC ABOUT THE
DATES BUT HE WAS CONFIDENT HE
HAD TWO PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE PRESIDENT IN WHICH THE
PRESIDENT DIRECTED HIM TO CALL
THE ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL AND
HAVE THE SPECIAL COUNSEL REMOVED. SPECIAL COUNSEL
REMOVED.
ITS ALSO THE COLORFUL REPORTING
FROM THIS REPORT WHERE DON
McGAHN SAYS TO REINCE PRIEBUS
THE PRESIDENT ASKED ME TO DO SOME CRAZY SHIT.KED ME TO DO
SOME CRAZY SHIT. IM SORRY TO SWELL.
BUT I THINK WEVE GOT AN
ATTORNEY GENERAL LYING ABOUT
WHAT THE MUELLER REPORT AROUND
WHAT WAS THE MOST INVESTIGATED
FLASHPOINTS IN THE OBSTRUCTION INVESTIGATION. THE OBSTRUCTION
INVESTIGATION.
MY QUESTION, AGAIN, IS WHY.
>> WHY DID THE PRESIDENT -- THE
REPUBLICANS SEEM TO BE
RELITIGATING THE PRESIDENCY OF HILLARY CLINTON? PRESIDENCY OF
HILLARY CLINTON?
>> WELL, WHATS INTERESTING TO
ME ABOUT THAT IS ITS NOT LIKE
THATS NOT UNDER CONTROL. THERES AN INSPECTOR GENERAL
THAT HAS LOOKED AT THE CONDUCT
OF FBI AGENTS, PETE STRZOK AND
LISA PAGE.
LISA PAGE. I HEARD LINDSEY GRAHAM DROP THE
F-BOMB TO MAKE THE HIGHLIGHT
REEL OF FOX NEWS. BUT THE REAL MYSTERY -- I DONT
KNOW IF ITS MUCH OF A MYSTERY
ANYMORE -- IS WHY IS HE DOING
THE THING THAT ROBERT MUELLER WROTE TWO LETTERS ACCUSING HIM
OF DOING, WHICH IS DISTORTING
THE CONTENTS OF THE MUELLER PROBE.NTENTS OF THE MUELLER
PROBE.
>> IT MAKES IT INTERESTING WHEN
BOB MUELLER TESTIFIES. IF THERE WAS AND IF THEYRE GOOD
AT QUESTIONS, THEYLL HAVE THESE
PRECISE COMMENTS BY THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL HIGHLIGHTED FOR MUELLER.
THEYRE GOING TO ASK HIM TRUE OR
FALSE.
>> HERES THE OTHER THING, THIS
NEWS ORGANIZATION, "THE WASHINGTON POST," "THE NEW YORK
TIMES," EVERY NEWS ORGANIZATION
THAT WROTE STORIES ABOUT THE
INVESTIGATION FLIPPED THROUGH
THIS REPORT THE DAY IT CAME OUT
TO SEE IF THEY WERE FOUND WRONG. I WAS TOLD BY A SENIOR JUSTICEG.
I WAS TOLD BY A SENIOR JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL ON
MARCH
MARCH
MARCH 25TH, THE DAY AFTER ONE OF MUELLERS LETTERS WAS SENT.ONE OF
MUELLERS LETTERS WAS SENT. I SAID WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
ITS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER AND
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NEWS
ACCOUNTS AND THE MUELLER REPORT
IS THAT MUELLER FOUND THOSE INCIDENTS DID HAPPEN ANDOSE
INCIDENTS DID HAPPEN AND PROVIDES THE EVIDENCE.
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT
SAYING PRIVATELY OR PUBLICLY
THAT ANY OF THE REPORTING AROUND OBSTRUCTION WAS WRONG BEFORE ITD
OBSTRUCTION WAS WRONG BEFORE IT CAME OUT.
CAME OUT.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL IS
QUIBBLING WITH THE PRESS
COVERAGE AND MUELLER HIMSELF
CITES MANY NEWS ORGANIZATIONS IN
THE ACTUAL OBSTRUCTION REPORT.
>> INDEED, PEOPLE WILL BE TAKEN
ABACK TO HEAR BARR SAY IN EFFECT
IF NOT EXACTLY, IF THE PRESIDENT WASNT GOING TOORB BE PROSECUTEDT
WASNT GOING TOORB BE PROSECUTED SHOULDNT HAVE BEEN
INVESTIGATIONED INVESTIGATED.ED
INVESTIGATED.
>> ITS AN INEXPLICABLE
STATEMENT TO MAKE.
I THINK NICOLE SAID IT BEST, SHE
SAID WERE HEARING NOT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED
STATES, WERE HEARING THE
PRESIDENTS DEFENSE LAWYER.
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE ATTORNEY
GENERAL BARR IS REFUTING THE
MUELLER REPORT ON THE
PRESIDENTS BEHALF HERE.
>> AGAIN, WE DO THIS
RELUCTANTLY, BUT SOMETIMES IN
THE BACK AND FORTH AND VERBIAGE
AND WORD SALAD WE HEAR, ITS HELPFUL TO KNOW WHAT IT IS WERE
HEARING, IN THIS CASE FROM THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED
STATES.
