HE FOUND MISTAKES, NEGLIGENCE

AND OVERSIGHT.

>> NO, NO THAT IS NOT RIGHT.

>> Shannon: POLITICAL ANALYST

BRIT HUME WHO WATCH THIS WITH

MUCH OF AMERICA, GOOD TO SEE YOU

COME UP.

>> LET'S START WITH THE

STEELE DOSSIER BECAUSE WHEN YOU

LOOK AT HOROWITZ AND WHAT HE PUT

TOGETHER HE TALKS ABOUT FOR THE

LARGE SECTION OF THE ATTORNEY

AND THE GROUP PUTTING IT

TOGETHER FOR THE FISA

APPLICATION, IT WAS SOMETHING

THAT TIPPED THEM TOWARDS

PROBABLE CAUSE.

>> IT DID AND DESCRIBED BY THE

INSPECTOR GENERAL AS A CENTRAL,

WHICH DOES NOT SQUARE WITH WHAT

COMEY HAS SAID HOW THE PROCESS

WORKED AND WHAT ROLE THE DOSSIER

PLAYED.

FOR HIM TO BE ANNOUNCING IT DOES

NOT ALLEGE MISCONDUCT BY THE FBI

IS LAUGHABLE.

OF COURSE, IT ALLEGES

MISCONDUCT.

IT IS NOT STATED SLOPPINESS.

IT WAS NOT SLOPPINESS BUT A

SERIES OF ERRORS AND OTHERS HAVE

POINTED OUT IN THE SAME

DIRECTION ALL NEGATIVE FOR THE

PRESIDENT.

EXCULPATORY INFORMATION KNOWN TO

THE FBI PEOPLE WAS KEPT OUT OR

AWAY FROM THE FISA JUDGES.

THIS, TOO MANY DEFINITION, IS

MISCONDUCT.

>> Shannon: SO CHRIS SPOKE

WITH HOUSE INTELLIGENCE, NOW THE

CHAIR ADAM SCHIFF WHO SAID

LISTEN HINDSIGHT IS 20/20.

WE WILL PLAY THAT AND TALK ABOUT

IT.

>> THE INSPECTOR GENERAL FOUND

SERIOUS ABUSES OF FISA I WAS

UNAWARE OF.

HAD I KNOWN, CHRIS, YES I WOULD

CALL OUT THE FBI AT THE SAME

TIME, BUT I THINK IT IS ONLY

FAIR TO JUDGE WHAT WE KNEW AT

THE TIME, NOT WHAT WOULD BE

REVEALED TWO YEARS LATER.

>> Shannon: THIS TAKES US BACK

TO FEBRUARY 2018 OR DEVIN NUNES

PUT OUT A MEMO AND SAID THIS "IN

THE CASE OF CARTER PAGE THE

GOVERNMENT HAD FOUR INDEPENDENT

OPPORTUNITIES BEFORE THE FOREIGN

INTELLIGENCE COURT TO ACCURATELY

PROVIDE AN ACCOUNTING OF THE

RELATIVE FACTS.

HOWEVER, DESCRIBE A LITTLE

MATERIAL RELEVANT INFORMATION

WAS OMITTED.

ALSO FEBRUARY 2018, RESPOND.

ADAM SCHIFF WITH HOUSE

INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE THAMES

AND THE MINORITIES HAD FBI AND

DOJ OFFICIALS DID NOT ABUSE

THE INTELLIGENCE ACT PROCESS OR

OMIT -- TO SPY ON THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN.

SO THESE TWO HAVE BUTTED HEADS

OVER THIS INFORMATION

FEBRUARY 2018.

>> AND OF COURSE, THE IG REPORT,

BUT FLIES IN THE FACE OF MUCH

DEVIN NUNES MEMO THAT GREW OUT

OF THE LEAD IN HOUSE

INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE AND

INVESTIGATION OF THE

INVESTIGATION.

AND THE WHOLE

RUSSIA/TRUMP/RUSSIA AFFAIR.

AND FOR SCHIFF NOW TO CLAIM AND

HE NOT ONLY SAW WHAT NUNES SAID

BUT PUBLISHED A MEMO REBUTTING

IT AND DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THOSE

IS PREPOSTEROUS.

>> Shannon: FEBRUARY 2018,

CLEARLY HAVE BEEN A CONVERSATION

THEM.

>> OF COURSE HE KNEW ABOUT IT.

>> Shannon: DO YOU THINK YOU

WILL GET CALLED ON THE CARPET

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN

FOLLOWING IT FOR TWO YEARS?

>> WELL, ONE OF THE WONDROUS TO

ME IS MODERN MEDIA AND

COLLEAGUES TO SEE THROUGH THIS

GUY, SCHIFF.

HE HAS BEEN DISHONEST

REPEATEDLY.

HE MADE EXTRAVAGANT CLAIMS ABOUT

RUSSIAN COLLUSION EVIDENCE THAT

TURNED OUT TO NOT EVEN COME AT

THE MEAL OR TEAM WITH ALL OF ITS

INVESTIGATION DID NOT DISCOVER.

AND NEVER SPECIFIED, SCHIFF AND

THE REPORT CAME OUT AND

BASICALLY BLEW UP THE RUSSIAN

COLLUSION THEORY.

NOW COMES THIS QUESTION OF FISA

ABUSE AND HE IS STILL TELLING

WHOPPERS ABOUT THAT.

IT IS AMAZING HE HAS NOT BEEN

CALLED OUT AND THEN COME OF

COURSE, HE GETS TAPPED BY

NANCY PELOSI TO LEAD IMPEACHMENT

INQUIRY, WOW!

>> Shannon: WHAT HE DIDN'T

KNOW BACK THEN, JAMES COMEY WITH

WHAT HE SHOULD OR SHOULD HAVE

KNOWN WITH REGARD TO THE FISA

APPLICATIONS WHICH HE HAD TO

SIGN OFF ON.

SO CHRIS SAID TO HIM, LISTEN YOU

ARE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU WERE IN CHARGE WHEN SOME OF

THIS STUFF HAPPENED.

SO SHOULDN'T YOU HAVE KNOWN

MORE?

THIS IS WHAT COMEY SAID IN

RESPONSE.

>> AS A DIRECTOR SITTING ON TOP

OF AN ORGANIZATION OF 38,000

PEOPLE, YOU CAN'T RUN AN

INVESTIGATION THAT IS SEVEN

LAYERS BELOW YOU.

YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT TO THE

CAREER PROFESSIONALS TO DO TO

THE SPECIAL AGENTS WHO DO THIS

FOR THEIR LIVES.

IF A DIRECTOR TRIES TO RUN AN

INVESTIGATION, IT WILL GET

MUCKED UP IN ALL DIFFERENT KINDS

OF WAYS.

>> Shannon: THAT IS FAIR.

HE'S RUNNING THE FBI AND NOT

MANAGING ALL THE INVESTIGATIONS.

>> THAT WOULD BE FAIR IF THIS

WERE ATYPICAL FBI INVESTIGATION

MY FIELD OFFICE IN FLAGSTAFF,

ARIZONA, OR SOMETHING.

THAT IS NOT THE CASE.

THIS INVESTIGATION WAS RAN AT

HEADQUARTERS, MOREOVER, IT WAS

AN EXTRAORDINARY INVESTIGATION

BECAUSE IMPLICATED IN IT WAS A

CAMPAIGN FOR THE PRESIDENCY OF

THE UNITED STATES.

AND A LEADING CANDIDATE AT THE

TIME WHEN THEY UNDERTOOK THE

INVESTIGATION.

THE IDEA THAT THE DIRECTOR OF

THE FBI WOULD NOT HAVE AND DID

NOT KNOW ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON

THERE WAS REMARKABLE.

AND FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION

THAT THAT IS TRUE AND HE DIDN'T

KNOW.

THAT IS EVEN WORSE AND AWAY.

HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

HE IS THE DIRECTOR.

THE PUCK IS SUPPOSED TO STOP

WITH HIM AND INDEED, THE WARRANT

APPLICATION STOOD STOP WITH HIM

BECAUSE HE SIGNED THEM.

THAT IS NONSENSE WHAT HE IS

SAYING.

>> Shannon: FBI DIRECTOR

CHRISTOPHER WRAY WITH MASSIVE

OVERHAUL REFORMS AS A RESULT

WHAT THEY FOUND AND THAT IS GOOD

FOR AMERICANS, BUT AS YOU SAID

MY CREDIT TO COMEY AND SCHIFF TO

HAVE THIS CONVERSATION IS ALSO

IMPORTANT.
