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.
