  • PEOPLE.

  • 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.
