COMMON SENSE TOGETHER THIS LEADS
TO A LOT.
>> DESPITE THE FINDINGS THE
BIPARTISAN FINDINGS OF THE
SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE --
>> THEY'RE NOT FINDINGS.
THERE'S A STATEMENT OUT TODAY
THEY HAVE NOT GBEGUN THIS.
TWO DAYS AGO THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE ASKED FOR A ADDITIONAL
WEEK.
THE STATEMENT CLEARLY SAYS AT
THIS TIME THEY DON'T BELIEVE
>>> I JUST READ OFF TO YOU, IT'S
INTERESTING.
WHEN "THE NEW YORK TIMES"
REPORTS --
>> SO, ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE
PRESIDENT STILL STANDS BY HIS
ALLEGATION THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA
ORDERED WIRETAPPING OR
SURVEILLANCE OF TRUMP TOWER
DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE SENATE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE SAYS THEY
SEE NO INDICATION THAT IT
HAPPENED?
DOES THE PRESIDENT STILL STAND
BY THE ALLEGATION?
>> HE STANDS BY IT BUT YOU'RE
MISCHARACTERIZING WHAT HAPPENED
TODAY.
NO, NO --
>> EXACTLY FROM THEIR STATEMENT.
>> I UNDERSTAND THAT.
AT THE SAME TIME THEY
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE NOT
BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
SO, AGAIN, I GO BACK TO WHAT I
SAID AT THE BEGINNING.
IT'S INTERESTING -- HOLD ON.
HOLD ON.
IT'S INTERESTING HOW AT THE SAME
TIME WHERE WERE YOU COMING TO
THE DEFENSE OF THAT SAME
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE AND THOSE
MEMBERS WHEN THEY SAID THERE WAS
NO CONNECTION TO RUSSIA.
YOU DIDN'T STEAM TO REPORT IT
THEN.
THERE WAS NO -- NO, NO.
HOLD ON.
YOU WANT TO COMMENT AND YOU WANT
TO PERPETUATE A FALSE
NARRATIVE --
>> CLAPPER SAID THAT.
>> WHEN THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAVE
GONE OUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN,
WHEN CHAIRMAN NUNEZ SAID NUMBER
ONE THERE IS NO INFORMATION HE'S
AWARE OF THAT EXISTED, THERE WAS
ZERO REPORTING.
WHEN HE SAID IT'S VERY POSSIBLE,
YOU DON'T INCLUDE THAT IN THE
QUESTION MARK.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE PRESIDENT
SAID LAST NIGHT THAT HE WILL BE
PROVIDING -- THERE WOULD BE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COMING
FORWARD.
THERE IS A TON OF MEDIA REPORTS
OUT THERE THAT INDICATE THAT
SOMETHING WAS GOING ON DURING
THE 26 ELECTION.
I BELIEVE HE WILL.
JIM.
>> WERE YOU JUST QUOTING SEAN
HANNITY THERE.
THE HOUSE AND SENATE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEES ARE --
>> I GET YOU'RE GOING TO --
>> THE FBI DIRECTOR, YOU'RE
CITING SEAN HANNITY.
>> YOU ALSO LOOK OVER -- YOU
TEND TO OVERLOOK ALL THE OTHER
SOURCES BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WANT
TO CHERRY PICK IT.
NO, NO, BUT YOU DO.
BUT WHERE WAS YOUR CONCERN ABOUT
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" REPORTER?
YOU DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE A
CONCERN WITH THAT.
>> WE HAVE DONE PLENTY OF
REPORTING ON ALL OF THIS, SEAN.
>> YOU WANT TO CHERRY PICK ONE
PIECE OF COMMENTARY.
>> THE PRESIDENT TO THE RUSSIANS
THAT HAS ALL BEEN LOOKED AT.
>> HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?
HOW DO YOU SEEM TO BE SUCH AN
EXPERT IN THIS?
>> I'M SAYING THAT THIS HAS BEEN
LOOKED AT, SEAN --
>> HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN
LOOKED AT?
HOLD ON, WHERE IS -- I'M SORRY,
I'M AFRAID -- CAN YOU TELL ME
HOW YOU KNOW THAT ALL OF THIS
HAS, QUOTE, BEEN LOOKED AT?
>> YOU'RE ASKING ME WHETHER OR
NOT I LOOKED AT --
>> YOU MADE A STATEMENT AND
SAID, QUOTE, ALL OF THIS HAS
BEEN LOOKED AT.
>> ALL OTHER OUTLETS --
>> SO WHEN YOUR OUTLET SAYS IT'S
ALL BEEN LOOKED AT --
>> THE RUSSIANS DURING THE 2016
CAMPAIGN, IT SOUNDS LIKE DURING
THE CONTEXT OF THAT
INVESTIGATION THERE MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SOME INTERCEPTED
COMMUNICATIONS, THE HOUSE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
DID MENTION THAT, AND WE HAVE
REPORTED THAT.
OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THAT.
ON AIR AND VARIOUS PUBLICATIONS.
BUT, SEAN, WHAT YOU ARE REFUSING
TO ANSWER, THE QUESTION THAT YOU
ARE REFUSING TO WE ARE IS
WHETHER OR NOT THE PRESIDENT
STILL --
>> NO, I'M NOT, I SAID TO
JOHNATHAN --
>> YOU HAVE A SENATE AND HOUSE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE BOTH
LEADERS FROM BOTH PARTIES ON
BOTH OF THOSE PANELS SAYING THAT
THEY DON'T SEE ANY EVIDENCE OF
ANY WIRETAPPING.
SO, HOW CAN THE PRESIDENT GO ON
AND CONTINUE --
>> BECAUSE THAT'S NOT -- YOU'RE
MISCHARACTERIZING WHAT CHAIRMAN
NUNEZ SAID.
HE SAID, QUOTE, I THINK IT'S
POSSIBLE -- EGS FOLLOWING UP ON
THIS.
TO SUGGEST THAT -- YOU'RE
STATING UNEQUIVOCALLY YOU
SOMEHOW -- RIGHT, AND SING WE'VE
ALREADY CLEARED THAT UP.
AND HE SAID EXACTLY THAT.
BUT THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY
SAID CLEARLY WHEN HE REFERRED TO
WIRETAPPING HE WAS REFERRING TO
SURVEILLANCE.
SO --
>> BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE, SEAN, YOU
AND THE PRESIDENT ARE SAYING
NOW, WELL, WE DON'T MEAN
WIRETAPPING ANY MORE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE ANY MORE.
SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO ENTERTAIN
OTHER FORMS OF SURVEILLANCE.
WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE NEXT?
>> JIM, I THINK THAT'S CUTE BUT
AT THE END OF THE DAY WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THIS FOR THREE OR
FOUR DAYS.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT HAD TO QUOTE
WIRETAPPING IN QUOTES, HE WAS
REFERRING TO BROAD SURVEILLANCE.
AND NOW YOU'RE BASICALLY GOING
BACK.
WE TALKED ABOUT THIS SEVERAL
DAYS AGO.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE
INVESTIGATION BY THE HOUSE AND
THE SENATE HAS NOT BEEN PROVIDED
ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND WHEN
IT DOES -- HOLD ON.
>> NEWS REPORTS, NOT EVIDENCE --
>> I'M SAYING THE PRESIDENT
ADDRESSED THAT LAST NIGHT AND
SAID THERE IS MORE TO COME.
THESE ARE MERELY POINTING OUT
THERE IS WIDESPREAD REPORTING
THAT THROUGHOUT THE 2016
ELECTION THERE WAS SURVEILLANCE
THAT WAS DONE ON AVA RI VARIETY
PEOPLE.
>> I FIND IT INTERESTING YOU
SOMEHOW BELIEVE --
>> OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO BE
LOOKING AT THESE VARIOUS --
>> I GET IT SOMEHOW YOU SEEM TO
BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE ALL OF
THIS INFORMATION.
YOU'VE BEEN READ IN ON ALL OF
THESE THINGS WHICH I FIND VERY
INTERESTING.
>> I HAVEN'T BEEN READ IN BY THE
FBI.
THE HOUSE AND INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEES HAVE --
>> A GUY THAT HAS ZERO
INTELLIGENCE CLASS --
[ LAUGHTER ]
>> GIVE ME SOME CREDIT.
A LITTLE INTELLIGENCE MAYBE.
>> CLEARANCE.
I WASN'T DONE.
CLEARANCE.
>> THOSE TWO PANELS --
>> MAYBE BOTH.
>> COME ON.
THOSE TWO PANELS HAVE SPOKEN
WITH THE FBI DIRECTOR AND
THEY'RE TOLD THERE IS NO
EVIDENCE OF THIS.
>> I THINK THIS QUESTION HAS
BEEN ASKED AND ANSWERED, JIM.
>> THE PRESIDENT SAYING HE'S
WRONG.
>> YOU JUMP TO ALL THESE
CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE
AND DON'T HAVE, AND YOU SEEM TO
KNOW ALL THE ANSWERS.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE
WAS CLEARLY A TON OF
REPORTING -- HOLD ON, JIM, LET
ME ANSWER -- I THINK THAT THERE
HAS BEEN A VAST AMOUNT OF
REPORTING WHICH I JUST DETAILED
ABOUT ACTIVITY THAT WAS GOING ON
IN THE 2016 ELECTION.
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT THERE
WERE SURVEILLANCE TECHNIQUES
USED THROUGHOUT THIS.
I THINK BY A VARIETY OF OUTLETS
CONCLUDED.
WHEN YOU ASK THOSE TWO PEOPLE
WHETHER OR NOT AS CHAIRMAN NUNEZ
SAID YESTERDAY, WHEN YOU SAY
WIRETAPPING, THE PRESIDENT IS
CLEAR HE DIDN'T MEAN
WIRETAPPING, HE HAD IT IN
QUOTES.
