>> Martha: INTEL COMMITTEE
CHAIRMAN ADAM SCHIFF TAKING SOME
CREATIVE LIBERTY AT TODAY'S
HEARING WITH ACTING DIRECTOR OF
NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE JOSEPH
MAGUIRE.
RATHER THAN READING FROM THE
TRANSCRIPT AS IT EXISTS, AND WE
ALL NOW HAVE IN THE OPEN OF THE
PRESIDENT'S PHONE CALL WITH THE
UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT ZELENSKY, HE
PARRIED IT IN A SORT OF REVERSE
IMPROV.
WATCH THIS.
>> I HAVE A FAVOR I WANT FROM
YOU THOUGH I'M GOING TO SAY THIS
ONLY SEVEN TIMES, SO YOU BETTER
LISTEN GOOD.
I WANT YOU TO MAKE UP DIRT ON MY
POLITICAL OPPONENT, UNDERSTAND,
LOTS OF IT, ON THIS AND ON THAT.
I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN TOUCH
WITH PEOPLE, NOT JUST ANY
PEOPLE, I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN
TOUCH WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
THE UNITED STATES, MY
ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR AND
I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN TOUCH
WITH RUDY, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE
HIM, TRUST ME.
>> Martha: JOINING ME NOW IS
TREY GOWDY, FORMER CHAIRMAN OF
THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
AND A FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, THAT
WAS MOST LIKE DR. SEUSS AND HIS
DELIVERY.
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY HE DIDN'T
USE THE ACTUAL WORDS THAT EXIST
SINCE THEY ARE VERY MUCH OUT IN
THE OPEN.
>> IF YOU DON'T HAVE GOOD FACTS,
YOU GOT TO MAKE THEM UP.
ADAM SCHIFF HAS ONE OF THE WORST
SENSES OF HUMOR OF ANYONE I'VE
EVER MET, SO HE DOESN'T NEED TO
TRY PARITY, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO
KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS THE SAME
SCHIFF THAT SAID HE HAD EVIDENCE
OF COLLUSION.
HE'S NOT MAKING THAT MISTAKE
THIS TIME, HE'S NOT CLAIMING
HE'S GOT SOMETHING HE DOESN'T
HAVE, HE'S JUST GOING TO MAKE IT
UP AND HE MADE IT UP ON NATIONAL
TELEVISION AND I APPLAUD ANY
DEMOCRATS WHO CRITICIZE -- I
WOULD CRITICIZE A REPUBLICAN FOR
MAKING STUFF UP AND SOMETHING IS
SERIOUS IS THIS HEARING, HE
SHOULD BE CRITICIZED ALSO.
>> Martha: IT'S NOT NECESSARY
AND THERE'S NO REASON -- THOSE
ARE NOT THE PRESIDENT'S WORDS.
THOSE ARE HIS WORDS, AND IT'S SO
IMPORTANT IN THE MIDST OF THIS
INVESTIGATION THAT WE ACTUALLY
DEAL IN THE FACTS.
THERE IS AN ASSESSMENT
"THE NEW YORK POST" TODAY, HE
WAS IN THE CIA, HE NOW SPEAKS
HERE AND ELSEWHERE ABOUT
INTELLIGENCE ISSUES, HE SAYS
THAT THE LANGUAGE OF THIS
COMPLAINT TO HIM SEEMED VERY
SORT OF CALCULATED, VERY LEGAL,
THAT MAYBE HE HAD OUTSIDE HELP,
THAT THE LANGUAGE IN IT WAS VERY
LEGAL, WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN
YOU READ IT?
DID THAT OCCUR TO YOU OR NO?
>> IT WAS WELL WRITTEN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A LAWYER TO
WRITE SOMETHING WELL, AND IT
CERTAINLY TRACKED THE
APPROPRIATE STATUTES BUT IT ALSO
WASN'T LEAKED, SO I WILL GIVE
THE WHISTLE-BLOWER CREDIT FOR
NOT LEAKING IT.
THERE ARE THREE ALLEGATIONS, THE
PRESIDENT MISUSED HIS OFFICE,
NUMBER TWO THAT THEY MISHANDLED
THE PHONE CALL IN THE AFTERMATH,
AND THEN THIS KIND OF UNUSUAL --
THEIR PERCEPTION THAT IT'S
UNUSUAL THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD
ASK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND
MAYOR GIULIANI TO INVESTIGATE
POTENTIAL CORRUPTION, SO THOSE
OF THE THREE ALLEGATIONS, BUT
THE TRANSCRIPT ACTUALLY
ADDRESSES TWO OF THOSE THREE
PRETTY WELL.
>> Martha: SO WHAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT THE SUGGESTION AT
THE END OF THE PHONE TRANSCRIPT
WITH REGARDS TO JOE BIDEN AND
LOOKING INTO HIM?
DO YOU SEE -- IS IT SEPARABLE
FROM THE ELECTION GIVEN THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHERE WE ARE
RIGHT NOW TO IOWA AND JOE BIDEN
OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, OR
NOT?
>> KEEP IN MIND, WHO BROUGHT UP
RUDY GIULIANI?
IT WASN'T DONALD TRUMP, IT WAS
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UKRAINE.
THAT WAS THE FIRST REFERENCE TO
GIULIANI.
THE DEFENSE, THAT WAS THE
PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, THAT
WASN'T PRESIDENT TRUMP, SO I
THINK IT CAN BE SEPARATED IN
THIS WAY.
I WANT US ASKING COUNTRIES,
PARTICULARLY ONES THAT WOULD
GIVE MONEY TO, WHETHER OR NOT
YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
CORRUPTION.
I THINK BACK TO 2016, WE NOT
ONLY TALK, BUT WE SOLICITED HELP
FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THE
RUSSIANS WERE INTERFERING WITH
OUR ELECTION.
TO BE SURE PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS
NOT ON THE BALLOT, BUT HE WAS
CRITICIZED FOR NOT ASKING FOR
MORE HELP FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES
TO STOP IT, SO WHATEVER WAS GOOD
FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA, LET'S AT
LEAST APPLY THE SAME STANDARD TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP, BE FAIR ABOUT
IT.
>> Martha: YOU MADE SOME
INTERESTING COMMENTS IN THE
NOTES THAT YOU SENT EARLIER.
YOU SAY HAVE OTHERS ASK FOREIGN
GOVERNMENTS TO ASSIST LIKE THIS
IN INVESTIGATIONS?
HAVE OTHERS EMPLOYED PRIVATE
CITIZENS WITH REFERENCE TO RUDY
GIULIANI.
I GUESS I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS
ABOUT THAT.
HAVE THEY COME I THINK YOU CAN
PROBABLY POINT TO EXAMPLES WHERE
THEY HAVE, AND IS IT NECESSARILY
RELEVANT?
IF THEY HAVE?
>> I THINK IT'S RELEVANT THAT WE
TREAT PEOPLE THE SAME.
I THINK IT'S RELEVANT IF OUR
GOVERNMENT ASKS FOR FOREIGN
ASSISTANCE IN THE 2016 ELECTION
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ASKING
FOR FOREIGN ASSISTANCE TO KEEP
CORRUPTION -- IS NO STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS ON CORRUPTION.
JOE BIDEN, WHETHER HE'S THE
NOMINEE OR NOT, HE WAS THE
VICE PRESIDENT.
I'M NOT PREJUDGING ANYTHING, BUT
IF ANY VICE PRESIDENT TRIES TO
ASSERT INFLUENCE TO STOP AN
INVESTIGATION, I THINK YOUR
VIEWERS OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT IT
IN TERMS OF HIRING PRIVATE
CITIZENS, DANIEL RICHMOND LEAPS
TO MIND.
COMEY'S FRIEND.
>> Martha: UNDERSTOOD.
THIS IS JOHN BRENNAN TODAY ON
TWITTER AND I'VE GOT TWO THINGS
I WANT TO SHOW YOU HERE, THIS IS
THE FIRST ONE.
WHISTLE-BLOWER DESERVES OUR
PRAISE AND GRATITUDE,
DONALD TRUMP GETTING VERY SLOPPY
AND CARELESS AND CORRUPT
PRACTICES AND COVER UP AT TIMES,
DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, THOSE
WHO HAVE A CONSCIENCE NEED TO
WORK TOGETHER TO PREVENT
DESPERATE MOVES BY TRUMP THAT
COULD WREAK FURTHER HAVOC,
JOHN BRENNAN SURFACING ON THIS
AGAIN.
>> NO ONE I KNOW GIVES A DAMN
WHAT JOHN BRENNAN THINKS.
HE IS IN THE DUSTPAN OF HISTORY,
HE HIT THE PRESIDENT, DIDN'T
WANT HIM TO GET ELECTED, DID
EVERYTHING HE COULD TO KEEP THEM
FROM GETTING ELECTED, SO I'M A
LOT OLDER THAN YOU, MARTHA, BUT
I'M TO THE POINT I'M JUST NOT
GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE
I DON'T RESPECT THINK AND
JOHN BRENNAN FALLS IN THAT
CATEGORY.
>> Martha: ALL RIGHT,
KAMALA HARRIS SAYS THAT SHE SAYS
I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, BAR,
MEANING BILL BARR, MUST COME
BEFORE CONGRESS AND TESTIFY
UNDER OATH ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
HE WAS ASKED TO BE INVOLVED IN
ANY OF THIS CORRUPTION
INVESTIGATION, WHAT YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT BEFORE I LET YOU GO?
>> VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A
PROSECUTOR DOES NOT
UNDERSTAND -- JIM COMEY ALSO
WANTED THAT SERVER.
THE FBI WANTED THE SERVER, SO
WHY IS IT OKAY FOR JIM COMEY TO
WANT THE SERVER, BUT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL -- LOOK, I KNOW
SHE DOESN'T WANT HIM TO BE THE
AG.
I KNOW SHE DIDN'T OFFER HIM, BUT
HE IS THE AG AND THE PRESIDENT
HAS THE RIGHT TO ASK THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO GO GET
EVIDENCE OF A POTENTIAL CRIME.
COMEY DID IT, THE DNC JUST
DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM.
>> Martha: IT SEEMS LIKE
EXACTLY THE PLACE YOU WOULD GO.
>> Martha: IF YOU WANT TO DO
AN INVESTIGATION, YOU WANT TO
COORDINATE WITH THE MOTHER
COUNTRY, YOU WANT TO INVOLVE
YOUR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
