ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

>> GOOD MORNING, MARIA.

MARIA: WE'RE EXPECTING

IMPEACHMENT VOTE ON WEDNESDAY.

WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING THE WEEK

AHEAD AND TELL ME ABOUT THE

REACTION YOU'RE SEEING FROM THE

I.G. REPORT?

>> YEAH.

AS YOU SAID THE VOTE WILL BE ON

WEDNESDAY, DESPITE WHAT A

DEMOCRATIC SCHOLAR CALLED THE

FASTEST, THINNEST, WEAKEST

IMPEACHMENT IN U.S. HISTORY.

THAT'S THE DIRECTION THAT WE'RE

GOING.

THE REAL QUESTION IS, HOW BIG

WILL THE JAILBREAK BE BY THE

DEMOCRATS.

WE'VE ALREADY SEEN ONE DEMOCRAT

APPARENTLY SWITCHING PARTIES

OVER IT.

ANOTHER SAYING HE WILL VOTE

AGAINST IT.

SO REALLY THE QUESTION IS, HOW

MANY MORE BEFORE WEDNESDAY'S

VOTE.

THE REASON FOR THAT, MARIA IS,

BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS MADE THE

MISTAKE STAKING THE CREDIBILITY

OF ALL THIS ON ADAM SCHIFF, THE

PERSON THAT THEY PUT IN CHARGE

OF THIS INVESTIGATION, TURNS OUT

IS THE ONE THAT HELPED START IT

BY MEETING WITH A PERSON WHO

WALKED OUT OF ADAM SCHIFF'S

OFFICE AND BECAME THE

WHISTLEBLOWER.

AT THE VERY SAME TIME THAT IS

HAPPENING, AS YOU MENTIONED, NOW

THERE IS AN INSPECTOR GENERAL

REPORT THAT COMES OUT AND SAYS

DURING THE LAST IMPEACHMENT

HOAX, THE TRUMP RUSSIA ONE, ADAM

SCHIFF REPEATEDLY MADE FALSE

STATEMENTS TO THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE ABOUT THE FBI'S ACTIONS.

SO I THINK YOU KNOW, THAT IS

WHAT'S HAPPENING.

THAT'S WHY THE DEMOCRATS HAVE

BEEN RUSHING TO KEEP THIS FROM

UNRAVELING AND KEEP THEIR FOLKS

IN LINE.

THEY'RE HAVING A REALLY HARD

TIME TO DO THAT.

I WOULDN'T WANT TO BANK MY

POLITICAL FUTURE ON ADAM

SCHIFF'S CREDIBILITY BUT THEY

MADE THAT MISTAKE.

MARIA: I MEAN, GOING BACK TO THE

IG REPORT, YOU KNOW, ADAM SCHIFF

WAS CERTAINLY OUT AND ABOUT A

LOT THROUGHOUT THE LAST THREE

YEARS SAYING THERE IS COLLUSION

IN PLAIN SIGHT.

AND NOW WE GET THE I.G. REPORT.

WE ACTUALLY SEE THE MISCONDUCT

AND WHAT THEY CALLED, ERRORS,

FRAUD, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL

IT, WHAT IS YOUR REACTION TO

WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM MICHAEL

WHO ARE WITH IT?

>> WELL, WASN'T JUST ADAM SCHIFF

WAS OUT AND ABOUT, HE PUT OUT A

REPORT SAYS THERE WAS NO FISA

ABUSE BY THE FBI.

THAT WAS FALSE.

HE SAID THAT THE FBI DIDN'T FAIL

TO TURN OVER EXCULPATORY

INFORMATION.

THAT WAS FALSE.

HE SAID THAT THE STEELE DOSSIER

WAS NOT A CENTRAL PART OF THE

FISA APPLICATIONS AGAINST CARTER

PAGE.

THAT WAS FALSE.

THE INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT,

FIND NATIONAL THERE DETAIL ALL

OF THAT.

IT IS INDICTMENT THAT THE THINGS

THAT ADAM SCHIFF WAS SAYING.

IT WAS AN INDICTMENT OF JIM

COMEY'S LEADERSHIP AT THE FBI.

THE BIGGEST TAKEAWAY OUT THERE,

MARIA, WHAT THE INSPECTOR

GENERAL'S FINDINGS CLEARLY

DELINEATE, EVEN IF YOU CONCEDE,

AND I DON'T, EVEN IF YOU CONCEDE

THERE WAS A PREDICATE TO START

THIS, THERE WAS NO PREDICATE TO

CONTINUE A COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

INVESTIGATION AGAINST THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

THEY HAD TO DO IT BY MAKING

THOSE FALSE REPRESENTATIONS TO

THE FISA COURT.

MARIA: YEAH.

WE'LL SPEAK TO DEVIN NUNEZ

SHORTLY OF COURSE.

YOU REFERRED TO THE NUNES MEMO

BACK IN 2018, FEBRUARY OF 18,

WHERE HE WROTE OUT ALL OF THE

MISCONDUCT THAT TOOK PLACE BY

THAT CABAL OF PEOPLE.

THEN SCHIFF CAME OUT WITH THAT

CORRECTING THE RECORD MEMO WHICH

WE KNOW NOW WAS WRONG, JUST

FLAT-OUT WRONG.

YOU MENTIONED SOME OF THE

WRONGDOING.

ONE OF THEM WE KNOW FROM THE

MICHAEL HOROWITZ REPORT WAS

ALTERING OF A DOCUMENT BY A FBI

LAWYER.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

WHERE ARE YOU EXPECT

ACCOUNTABILITY, CONGRESSMAN?

>> WELL, AS THE INSPECTOR

GENERAL'S FINDINGS OUTLINE, WHAT

ARE REFERRED TO AS ERRORS AND

OMISSIONS ARE FALSE STATEMENTS,

MISREPRESENTATIONS, DESTRUCTION

OR ALTER AGES OF DOCUMENTARY

EVIDENCE.

WHAT YOU HAVE ARE FBI LAWYERS

LITERALLY CHANGING EVIDENCE TO

MAKE FALSE REPRESENTATIONS TO

THE COURT TO CONTINUE THIS

COUNTER INTELLIGENCE

INVESTIGATION AGAINST THE

PRESIDENT.

SO YOU KNOW, IT DETAILS -- NOW

EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO A

PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE.

DEMOCRAT NEVER WANT TO GIVE ONE

TO DONALD TRUMP BUT THE

INSPECTOR GENERAL'S FINDINGS

REALLY OUTLINE WHAT IS CRIMINAL

ACTIVITY.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FBI LAWYERS

WHO ARE DEPRIVING FOLKS LIKE

CARTER PAGE OF THEIR CIVIL

RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW.

TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE.

TAKING DOCUMENTS AND MAKING THEM

SAY THE OPPOSITE WHAT THEY

REALLY REPRESENT AND CERTIFYING

THAT TO THE COURT.

SO YOU KNOW, REALLY TERRIBLE,

AGAIN AN INDICTMENT OF JIM

COMEY'S LEADERSHIP AT THE FBI

AND OF THE THINGS THAT THE

DEMOCRATS SAID, AGAIN, MOST

IMPORTANT POINT, TO CONTINUE A

COUNTER INTELLIGENCE

INVESTIGATION AGAINST A SITTING

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

WHEN THERE WAS NO PROBABLE CAUSE

TO CONTINUE IT.

THAT THEY STARTED BY MAKING

SEVEN ERRORS AND OMISSIONS THAT

WERE MISREPRESENTATIONS,

ALTERATIONS OF EVIDENCE, THEN

ADDED 10 MORE TO CONTINUE IT

ALONG THE WAY.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN REALLY

APPRECIATE THE DAMAGE THAT WAS

DONE TO THE FBI DURING JIM

COMEY'S TENURE THERE.

MARIA: ARE YOU SAYING THERE WAS

CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AGAINST CARTER

PAGE AND AGAINST A SITTING

PRESIDENT?

>> CERTAINLY, I WOULD LOVE TO BE

CARTER PAGE'S LAWYER.

HIS CIVIL RIGHT AS ALLEGED, IN

THE FINDINGS BY INSPECTOR

GENERAL HOROWITZ, VERY CLEARLY

DELINEATE THAT.

BUT THERE WERE ACTIONS TAKEN BY

INDIVIDUALS AT THE FBI TO

CONTINUE A COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

INVESTIGATION AGAINST A SITTING

PRESIDENT, AGAINST HIS CAMPAIGN.

AGAINST HIS PRESIDENCY.

YOU KNOW, SO THESE ARE THINGS

THAT, FINDINGS MADE BY INSPECTOR

GENERAL HOROWITZ I WOULD NOW

EXPECT JOHN DURHAM TO LOOK AT

FROM A CRIMINAL STANDPOINT.

I'M NOT SAYING THAT ANYONE, I'M

NOT MAKING ALLEGATIONS THAT

ANYONE HAS SHOULD BE CONVICTED.

THESE ARE ALLEGATIONS, EVERYONE

IS ENTITLED TO A PRESUMPTION OF

INNOCENCE BUT DO I THINK THERE

IS ACTIVITY DETAILED IN THIS,

THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND

PROSECUTED?

ABSOLUTELY.

TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE,

DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE.

MARIA: COULD PEOPLE GO TO JAIL

OVER THIS?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WHAT WOULD AN AGGRESSIVE

PROSECUTOR DO WITH THIS IF THE

FOLKS INVOLVED WERE GEORGE

PAPDOPOULUS OR MICHAEL FLYNN?

THE FINDINGS OF FACT MADE BY THE

INSPECTOR GENERAL HERE, YOU

KNOW, CERTAINLY DETAIL POTENTIAL

CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WHICH WOULD

SEND PEOPLE AWAY FOR A LONG

PERIOD OF TIME.

MARIA: WE'RE ALSO GOING TO TALK

WITH GEORGE PAPDOPOULUS COMING

UP.

SO HE CAN TELL US EXACTLY SOME

OF THE CONVERSATIONS HE HAD

WHICH ARE NOW EXCULPATORY

EVIDENCE WHICH WERE NOT GIVEN TO

THE FISA COURT.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT WHEN THE

INVESTIGATION ACTUALLY STARTED

BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW THE FBI

TELLS US THAT THE INVESTIGATION,

THE COUNTERINTEL INVESTIGATION

BEGAN IN JULY OF 16 BUT THERE

WERE INFORMANTS RUNNING INTO

CAMPAIGN PEOPLE AS EARLY AS

MARCH OF' 16.

WE'LL SPEAK TO MICHAEL MUKASEY

COMING UP.

CONGRESSMAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MARIA.

MARIA: REACTING TO THE FORMER

INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT IS

MICHAEL MUKASEY.

HE IS NEXT.
