Trump Adminstration Told FBI To Back Off Russia?

REINCE PRIEBUS IS FACING PRODUCES HIM OVER REPORTS THAT
HE ATTEMPTED TO PRESSURE THE FBI EARLIER THIS MONTH, I BELIEVE ON
FEBRUARY 15, TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST STORIES THE WHITE HOUSE
WAS NOT A FAN OF, THAT THEY FOUND DAMAGING --
-- THIS STORY WAS ABOUT
CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION AND RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE
OFFICIALS --
WHICH IS THE STORY THAT THE FBI IS INVESTIGATING.
SO THAT'S AN ODD WAY TO FRAME THAT.
DON'T YOU THINK THAT THEY ALREADY SHOULD BE THANKFUL
ENOUGH FOR THE FBI HELPING THEM GET ELECTED?
THEY ARE ASKING A
LOT.
THE FBI DID ENOUGH TO ALREADY BEAT HILLARY, NOW THEY
HAVE TO INTERVENE IN REAL-TIME?
THAT'S RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW WHEN YOU'VE ASKED FOR
ENOUGH.
I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
WHAT'S LEFT OUT OF THAT IS WHAT
MCCABE TOLD REINCE PRIEBUS, JUST ACCORDING TO REINCE PRIEBUS THAT
THE STORY WAS WRONG.
IS REINCE PRIEBUS KIND OF REMIND YOU OF THE WILLIAM H MACY
CHARACTER IN FARGO?
JUST THIS SAD, FRUSTRATED GUY?
DID YOU SEE YESTERDAY -- HOW OFTEN DO THEY HAVE CPAC?
THERE'S
NO WAY IT'S BEEN A YEAR -- BANNON AND PRIEBUS WERE TALKING
--
WE WILL DO THAT LATER ON.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A BIG ISSUE
BECAUSE THE RUSSIA STORY, WHICH PEOPLE REFER TO AS ONE-STORY
WHEN IT IS LIKE 12 DISTINCT STORIES OF WHICH ANY HACKING
DURING THE ELECTION WAS LIKE THE FIFTH MOST INTERESTING THING,
IT'S SUCH A NONSTORY THAT WE FIND OUT IN ONE DAY THAT THEY'VE
TRIED TO PRESSURE THE FBI TO DENY IT AND BAN REPORTERS FOR
COMMENTING ON IT.
NOW THERE ARE A VARIETY OF RULES THAT ARE
SUPPOSED TO STOP THIS SORT OF INTERFERENCE WITH
INVESTIGATIONS
--
NOW, IT MIGHT BE THE CASE THAT REINCE PRIEBUS FEELS AS
UNCOMFORTABLE TALKING WITH THE CURRENT ATTORNEY GENERAL AS ANY
RATIONAL PERSON WOULD, BUT HE IS STILL SUPPOSED
TO DO THAT.
NOW
--
THERE IS A MEMO FROM 2009 ABOUT THIS SIGNED BY ERIC
HOLDER, SAYING --
BESIDES WHICH, IT'S OBVIOUS.
IF THE FBI IS CHARGED WITH
INVESTIGATING YOU, IT'S A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC FOR YOU TO CALL THEM
AND SAY, HEY, CAN YOU MAKE A STATEMENT SAYING YOU ARE NOT
INVESTIGATING US?
WE WENT BALLISTIC -- THE RIGHT WENT BALLISTIC, WE WENT
BALLISTIC BECAUSE IT WAS SO BAD POLITICALLY, WHEN CLINTON MET
WITH LORETTA LYNCH ON THE TARMAC IN PHOENIX.
NEITHER OF THEM WERE
EVEN IN THE ADMINISTRATION, THAT WAS NOT EVEN A SUGGESTION
OF A CRIME, BUT IT WAS SO BAD POLITICALLY.
IN THIS CASE IT IS THE PRESIDENT'S CHIEF OF STAFF GOING
TO THE FBI, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT LORETTA LYNCH AND BILL CLINTON
TALKED ABOUT ON THE PLANE, IN THIS CASE WE KNOW WHAT THEY
TALKED ABOUT.
HE SAID CAN YOU TELL THEM THERE IS NO
INVESTIGATION?
WHICH IS AS EGREGIOUS AS CAN BE.
THE THING YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW WITH THESE PEOPLE AS THEY HAVE
AN AUDIENCE OF ONE IN MANY RESPECTS.
WHEN KELLYANNE CONWAY
DID THAT NORDSTROM THING, EVERYONE WAS LIKE, THIS IS CRAZY
-- TRUMP LOVED IT.
TRUMP WILL LIKE THIS, AND REINCE PRIEBUS
HAS HIS OWN BATTLE WITH STEVE BANNON, THERE ARE INTERNAL
DYNAMICS IN THE ADMINISTRATION, AND I DON'T THINK TRUMP EVEN
RIGHT NOW HAS A PROBLEM WITH IT.
WE ARE SO TOUGH, WE WILL CALL UP THE FBI.
I WAS TALKING TO MY REPUBLICAN FRIEND TODAY, HE VOTED FOR
HILLARY, BUT NOW HE THINGS WE SHOULD CALM DOWN AND STOP
YELLING SO MUCH, LET HIM HAVE A CHANCE, THAT SORT OF THING --
AND I JUST KEPT THINKING, HE'S GOING TO GET ARRESTED.
PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO GET ARRESTED.
HE'S GOING TO DO --
IT'S LIKE A DUMBED DOWN WATERGATE.
IT WILL BE THE EASIEST INVESTIGATION EVER BECAUSE
THEY ARE RECKLESS IN THEIR DISREGARD FOR THE LAW,
BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW IT AND THEY DON'T CARE AND THEY
DON'T THINK IT APPLIES BECAUSE THEY'VE DECIDED IT DOESN'T.
SO FAR MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE JUST STEPPED DOWN BEFORE HE
CAN GET THAT FAR.
BUT HE'S LOSING PEOPLE EVERY MONTH.
DID YOU EVER TRY TO EXPLAIN RESPONSIBILITY TO A 12-YEAR-OLD?
SOME ARE AWESOME AND GET IT, SOME OF THEM ARE LIKE, BLAH,
WHAT DO I BREAK NEXT?
TRUMP IS AT BEST A 12-YEAR-OLD, AND NOT
THE REASONABLE KIND.
HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE LAW, DOESN'T CARE
TO, WILL NEVER LOOK INTO IT, NEVER GOING TO ASK WHAT IS THE
LAW ON THIS BEFORE HE ACTS.
IS HE GOING TO GET HIMSELF IN
TROUBLE WITH THE LAW?
OF COURSE HE IS. AND IF SOMEBODY TRIED TO
TALK HIM OUT OF IT, MR.
PRESIDENT, CONTACTING THE FBI
ABOUT AN INVESTIGATION THEY ARE DOING ABOUT YOU IS DEEPLY
UNETHICAL -- HE WOULD BE LIKE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
JUST GET THEM ON THE PHONE, THEY WORK FOR ME.
I'M THE PRESIDENT.
IT'S THE SAME WAY WHEN YOU WORK WITH THE GAMBINO FAMILY
AND YOU ARE GETTING A CONTRACT TO BUILD A HOTEL, SAME THING.
IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME ETHICS PROCESS.
THEY WILL USE THE JOHN HUGHES STRATEGY, WHICH WILL WORK FOR
EVERY ADMINISTRATION GOING FORWARD, FIND ANYONE AT THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO WRITE A MEMO SAYING IF THE
PRESIDENT AUTHORIZED A PHONE CALL FOR INFORMATIONAL
PURPOSES, THEN IT'S LEGAL.
HE WILL SAY, THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE SAYING IT'S LEGAL.
TRUMP HAS A NEW ENDING TO HIS TWEETS THAT I THINK IS EVEN MORE
RIDICULOUS THAN SAD -- IN RESPONSE TO ALL THESE LEAKS HE
TWEETED THIS --
THAT'S FUNNY.
AND YOU GO BACK TO THE FIRST TWEET?
I THOUGHT
HIS THING WAS, THEY CAN'T EVEN.
LIKE HE'S A TEENAGER.
THEY CAN'T EVEN.
THAT DOES HAVE KIND OF A WEIRD TEEN VIBE.
BUT THE WEIRD THING
IS HE COMES OUT AND HE GOES WE NEED TO GET THE LEAKERS NOW,
AND THIS IS FAKE NEWS.
ARE THEY LEAKING FAKE NEWS?
YOU HAVE TO
SQUARE THAT CIRCLE.
THESE LEAKERS ARE TERRIBLE.
WAIT, YOU THINK THEY ARE
LEAKERS.
IT'S NOT EVEN US, IT'S JUST YOU.
MY DAD ALWAYS LOVED -- MENUS ARE CONSTANTLY PUTTING THINGS IN
QUOTES THEY MEAN TO EMPHASIZE, TRY OUR EXTRA "FLAVORFUL"
CHICKEN.
