INTERVIEW WITH JOHN RATFLIFFE

HOMELAND SECURITY COMMISSIONER.

HE'S BEEN ASKED TOP QUESTIONS IN

THIS IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY LAST

WEEK, CONGRESSMAN FORGET TO THE

IG REPORT, I WANT TO GET YOUR

THOUGHTS ON WHAT WILL HEAR FROM

THE IG REPORT WHICH IS SCHEDULED

FOR EARLY DECEMBER.

BUT ONE THING THAT I NOTICED

THIS PAST WEEK, ARE YOU GUYS NOT

UNDER OATH IN CONGRESS IN THAT

ROOM?

ADAM SCHIFF, YOU SAID YOU WANT

ADAM SCHIFF TO COME DOWN AND

TESTIFY UNDER OATH.

DOES THAT MEAN WHAT WE HEAR FROM

ADAM SCHIFF NEEDS PUBLIC

HEARINGS HE IS NOT UNDER OATH HE

CAN SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS?

>> YET HE IS NOT SWORN IN AS A

WITNESS AS WE PRESIDE OVER THESE

HEARINGS OR HE PRESIDES OVER

THESE HEARINGS.

MUCH OF WHAT HE HE IS SAYING TO

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS NOT TRUE.

I KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE AND WE KNOW

IT IS NOT TRUE.

WE WOULD LIKE HIM TO TESTIFY, I

THINK CONGRESSMAN COLLINS IS

GOING TO ASK FOR THAT WHEN THE

HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE

SENT A REPORT TO THE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE AND I DOUBT THAT

CHAIRMAN NADLER IS GOING TO

ALLOW THAT.

I DON'T THINK THEY WILL ALLOW

THAT, THEY SHOULD AND I THINK

THAT'S UNFORTUNATE.

IT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THIS

WILL BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN THE

SENATE INCLUDING ADAM SCHIFF

WILL NOT BE TESTIFYING.

>> I'M GOING TO SPEAK WITH DOUG

COLLINS IN JUST A FEW MINUTES

AND ASK HIM ABOUT THAT PRE-BUT

IT STRUCK ME BECAUSE I GUESS

THAT'S WHAT HE CAN SAY WE HAVE

NOT SEEN THE WHISTLEBLOWER, WE

DON'T KNOW WHO THE WHISTLEBLOWER

IS AND THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER

WE FOUND OUT MY STAFF DID MEET

WITH THE WAS A BLUR.

HE COULD SAY WHAT HE WANTS

BECAUSE IS NOT UNDER OATH.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.

THE IG REPORT, WHEN DO YOU

EXPECT IT, YOU BEEN STUDYING THE

ORIGINS OF THE RUSSIAN PROBE FOR

THREE YEARS HAVE DONE A GREAT

JOB IN TERMS OF EXPOSING THE

WRONGDOING THAT TOOK PLACE IN

2016, WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT FROM

THIS REPORT?

>> I DO THINK IT'S GOING TO BE

THE FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER AND

BILL BARR SAID IT'S IMMINENT AND

I WOULD LOVE IT IF IT CAME OUT

SUMER BECAUSE THE EARLY REPORT

THE DEMOCRATS ARE RACING TO GET

TO THE IMPEACHMENT AS QUICKLY AS

POSSIBLE AND IT'S WHY WE HAVE

EIGHT WITNESSES AND FIVE

HEARINGS THIS WEEK AND WERE NOT

DOING ANY OF THE WORK BECAUSE

THEY KNOW THE INSPECTOR GENERAL

REPORT IS LIKELY TO BE DAMNING

ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THE 2016

INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN AND THE ROLE THAT THE

OBAMA BIDEN OFFICIALS PLAYED IN

THAT.

WE KNOW THIS, THE REPORT IS

SUPPOSEDLY 500 PAGES, IT DOES

NOT TAKE IN INSPECTOR GENERAL

500 PAGES TO SAY EVERYTHING WAS

DONE CORRECTLY AND PROPERLY.

AND I CANNOT TELL YOU EVERYTHING

THAT IS IN THERE BUT WHAT I CAN

TELL YOU THAT I KNOW THE

INSPECTOR GENERAL IS GOING TO

HAVE TO FIND THAT THERE WERE

THINGS THAT WERE DONE WRONG AND

THERE IS EXCULPATORY INFORMATION

THAT WAS NOT PROVIDED.

I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE AN

INDICTMENT OF ADAM SCHIFF WHO

HAS WRITTEN HIS OWN PFIZER

REBUTTAL MEMO IF YOU REMEMBER

GENERAL 2018 HOW THE REPUBLICANS

CRITICIZE PEOPLE LIKE PETER

STRZOK AND LISA PAGE AND ANDY

MCCABE AND BRUCE OR WHO HAVE

DONE NOTHING WRONG.

I THINK THE IG REPORT IS GOING

TO FIND THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS

IN THE PFIZER APPLICATION

PROCESS AND THEY DON'T WANT THAT

TO COME OUT UNTIL AFTER THEY

IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT.

WE HAVE A LETTER FROM ADAM

SCHIFF TO TO GIVE A NEW

SCHIFF TO TO GIVE D NEW

SCHIFF TO TO GIVE DEVEW

SCHIFF TO TO GIVE DEVON AND US,

WE WILL ALL OF THESE HEARINGS

SPECIFICALLY TO BE ONLY ABOUT

THE UKRAINE PHONE CALL, WE DON'T

WANT ANYTHING ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN

AND ANYTHING WITH DEBUNKED

INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016

ELECTION.

DEBUNKED.

WHEN I LOOK AT WHAT IS

HAPPENING, YOU HAVE AN

INVESTIGATION AT THE HIGHEST

LEVEL OF OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT

WHICH IS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

INVESTIGATING 2016 ELECTION AND

INTERFERENCE BY THE FBI AND CIA.

YOU HAVE JOHN DURHAM'S CRIMINAL

INVESTIGATION.

I ASK YOU WHAT EXACTLY IS

DEBUNKED ABOUT 2016 INTERFERENCE

WHICH IS WHAT ADAM SCHIFF DRUGS?

HE'S NOT UNDER OATH TO WRITE

THIS LETTER EITHER.

>> HE IS NOT.

AND IT'S NOT DEBUNKED AND I

THINK THE IG REPORT IS GOING TO

VALIDATE AT THE TIME CHAIRMAN

NUNEZ BUYS A MEMO THAT

HIGHLIGHTED THE ABUSES, I TELL

YOU THIS, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT

THE EXCULPATORY INFORMATION IS

BUT THERE WAS SOME.

AND I TELL YOU IT WAS NOT TIMELY

DELIVERED TO THE FISA COURT

DURING THE DEPENDENCY OF THOSE

FISA APPLICATIONS AND I'LL

PROMISE YOU THAT THE INSPECTOR

GENERAL REPORT IS GOING TO

ADDRESS THAT.

MARIA: WE THINK WE KNOW THAT,

OUR AUDIENCE KNOWS THAT BECAUSE

WE'VE HAD GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS ON

IN YOUR COLLEAGUE SAYING THAT

THERE WAS AN INFORMANT WHO WENT

TO GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS AND SAID

IT'S GREAT THAT RUSSIA HAS EASY

MODES AND IT'S GOOD FOR TRUMP IN

GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS ANSWERS AND

SAYS THAT TREES AND I WOULD

NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND

THE GUY WAS WIRED AND IT WAS AN

INFORMANT TALKING TO HIM AND

THAT TRANSCRIPT SHOULD BE ONE

PIECE OF EVIDENCE WERE EXPECTING

IN THE IG REPORT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO

AREN'T YOU?

>> I BELIEVE THAT WILL BE

ADDRESSED BY THE INSPECTOR

GENERAL AND WHETHER THAT WAS

TIMELY DELIVERED TO THE FISA

COURT AND ASSUMING ALL OF THAT

IS TRUE AND WILL THE REPORT
