DEMANDING THE RELEASE OF

MATERIAL BEHIND A WHISTLEBLOWER

COMPLAINT INVOLVING PRESIDENT

TRUMP AND HIS COMMUNICATION

WITH A FOREIGN LEADER.

THE PRESIDENT FIRING BACK

CALLING THE STORY FAKE NEWS.

WANT TO BRING IN TREY GOWDY.

WELCOME TO OUR PROGRAM.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE

PRESIDENT IS HOLDING WHAT THEY

CALL A SPRAY INSIDE THE OVAL

OFFICE.

WE'LL GET A PLAY-OUT IN THE

MOMENT.

WE MIGHT GET INTERRUPTED.

HE HAS BEEN ASKED ABOUT THE

WHISTLEBLOWER STORY AND CALLS

IT FAKE NEWS AND SUGGESTS IT

WAS A PARTISAN WHISTLEBLOWER.

WE'LL WAIT FOR THAT IN A MOMENT.

ANDREW MCCABE SAYS THIS

WHISTLEBLOWER SHOWS IN HIS

WORDS GREAT COURAGE.

HE SAID THIS ON CNN.

>> THIS IS SOMEONE WHO

ESSENTIALLY DID WHAT WE HOPE

ALL PEOPLE SERVING IN THE

GOVERNMENT WILL DO.

STEPPED FORWARD, USED THE

APPROPRIATE PROCESS, IN A

CLASSIFIED AND CONFIDENTIAL

MANNER TO BRING THEIR CONCERNS

TO THE APPROPRIATE OFFICIALS.

THAT TAKES INCREDIBLE COURAGE.

IT IS HARD TO STAND UP TO AN

ADMINISTRATION, STAND UP

PARTICULARLY TO THIS

ADMINISTRATION AND THIS

PRESIDENT.

>> Bill: WE JUST WANTED TO ROLL

THAT OUT AND GET YOU TO RESPOND.

TREY, GO AHEAD.

>> I DOUBT ANY ANDY MCCABE HAS

ANY IDEA WHAT THE CONTENT OF

THE PHONE CALL WAS OR HOW

COURAGEOUS THE WHISTLEBLOWER.

I WARNED PEOPLE WEEKS AGO IF

ADAM SCHIFF CONTINUED TO BE THE

CHAIRPERSON OF THE HOUSE

INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE WHO IS

ONE OF THE MOST DEEPLY PARTISAN

MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE,

EVENTUALLY PEOPLE WOULD STOP

SHARING INFORMATION WITH THE

INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE AND

APPARENTLY THAT'S WHAT'S

HAPPENED.

SO IF NANCY PELOSI WANTS THIS

INFORMATION GIVEN TO CONGRESS

SHE SHOULD PICK A LESS PARTISAN

PERSON TO BE THE CHAIRPERSON OF

THAT COMMITTEE.

>> Bill: WHAT DO YOU THINK IS

GOING ON WITH THIS STORY?

>> A COUPLE OF THINGS.

I THINK CONGRESS HAS LOTS OF

TOOLS TO GET INFORMATION FROM

THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

DIDN'T THEY JUST PASS A BUDGET

RESOLUTION THIS WEEK?

THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

THEY COULD HAVE SAID YOU WON'T

GET THE MONEY UNTIL WE GET THE

WHISTLEBLOWER COMPLAINT.

CONGRESS HAS PLENTY OF TOOLS

BUT WHEN YOU PUT SOMEONE WHO IS

WRONG AS OFTEN AS ADAM SCHIFF

IS WRONG AND DEEPLY PARTISAN AS

HE IS IN CHARGE OF THE

INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, NO, YOU

AREN'T GOING TO SHARE

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

BECAUSE ADAM LEAKS LIKE A SIEVE.

THAT'S THE CONSEQUENCE OF

PUTTING SOMEONE THAT PARTISAN

AS THE HEAD OF THAT COMMITTEE.

>> Julie: BILL JUST MENTIONED

THE POOL SPRAY WE'RE ABOUT TO

RECEIVE.

WE HAVE SOME ROUGH NOTES OF

WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID WHEN HE

WAS ASKED ABOUT THE

WHISTLEBLOWER AND I'LL QUOTE.

HE SAYS IT'S A RIDICULOUS

STORY, PARTISAN WHISTLEBLOWER,

CONVERSATIONS WITH LEADERS

ALWAYS APPROPRIATE.

HIGHEST LEVEL.

I FIGHT SO STRONGLY FOR THE

COUNTRY.

ANOTHER POLITICAL HACK JOB

TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE IS

NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LEADER

OF THE FREE WORLD TALKING TO

OTHER LEADERS OF OTHER

COUNTRIES.

THE QUESTION IS WAS THERE A

PROMISE MADE?

WE DON'T KNOW.

EVERYBODY IS SPECULATING A

PROMISE WAS MADE.

THERE WAS A WHISTLEBLOWER.

WE DON'T KNOW THE FACTS YET.

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE THE FACTS

TO BE HERE?

>> NO IDEA, JULIE.

I WOULD BE DOING YOU A

DISSERVICE IF I GUESSED.

I THINK WE HAVE TO GET TO THE

POINT IN OUR POLITICAL CULTURE

WHERE WE DON'T SPECULATE.

THERE IS A TRANSCRIPT SO WE

DON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHAT WAS

SAID.

I THINK WHAT DOES FRUSTRATE

PEOPLE IS I SEEM TO RECALL A

PRESIDENT WHO SAID I'LL HAVE

MORE FLEXIBILITY IN A SECOND

TERM.

WE DON'T HAVE TO WONDER ABOUT

THAT.

THAT'S ON TAPE.

I DON'T THINK THERE WAS A

SIMILAR LEVEL OF OUTRAGE WHEN

PRESIDENT OBAMA PROMISED THAT

TO THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT AS

THERE IS NOW.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT

PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID.

>> Bill: LET'S TALK ABOUT JAMES

COMEY NOW.

THE QUESTION AS TO WHETHER OR

NOT HE WILL FACE THE

POSSIBILITY OF PROSECUTION.

MARK MEADOWS FROM OUR SHOW JUST

YESTERDAY ON COMEY.

>> THE ONLY THING THAT HAS BEEN

CONSISTENT ABOUT DIRECTOR JAMES

COMEY IS HIS WILLINGNESS TO GO

AFTER THIS PRESIDENT.

ONE OF THE IRREGULARITIES IS

THAT JAMES COMEY ACTUALLY SAID

THAT NOTHING THAT HAPPENED

ACTUALLY AFFECTED THE

INVESTIGATION AND WE SEE IN THE

REPORT WE SAW THAT

CONVERSATIONS HE HAD CHANGED

THE ACTION HE TOOK TRYING TO

LEAK THINGS TO GET THE SPECIAL

PROSECUTOR INSTALLED AND CALLED

INTO ACTION.

>> Bill: THAT LEADS TO THE

OBVIOUS QUESTION HERE ONCE WE

GET THE I.G.'S REPORT, WHICH IS

STILL WE BELIEVE A FEW WEEKS

AWAY.

DO YOU BELIEVE JAMES COMEY WILL

FACE PROSECUTION, YES OR NO?

>> NO, I DON'T.

AND I THINK AGAIN WE ARE

SETTING THE WRONG STANDARD IN

OUR CULTURE WHEN WE SAY

EVERYTHING IS FINE UNLESS YOU

ARE INDICTED.

COMEY HAS BEEN DINGED IN TWO

I.G. REPORTS AND FOUND TO

VIOLATE HIS EMPLOYMENT

AGREEMENT, HE LEAKED CLASSIFIED

INFORMATION TO HIS ATTORNEY.

WHY IS ALL OF THAT NOT ENOUGH

FOR HIM TO BE JUDGED POORLY BY

HISTORY?

WHY DOES IT TAKE AN INDICTMENT?

HE WON'T BE INDICTED.

IF THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE EXPECT

THEY'LL BE DISAPPOINTED.

I WOULD RATHER SET REASONABLE

EXPECTATIONS.

HE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY THE

METE OUT WHATEVER PUNISHMENT

THEY WANT.

>> Bill: A STAIN ON SOME

LEADING MEMBERS OF THE

ADMINISTRATION.

IS THAT WHERE WE ARE IN THE END?

>> I THINK IT IS AND AT SOME

LEVEL THAT WILL HAVE TO BE

ENOUGH.

AGAIN, WE CANNOT LIVE IN A

CULTURE WHERE EVERYTHING IS

FINE IF YOU NARROWLY AVOID

INDICTMENT.

I THINK PEOPLE HAVE HIGHER

EXPECTATIONS FOR THEIR PUBLIC

SERVANTS AND THEIR ELECTED

OFFICIALS THAN FOR THEM TO GO

AROUND TWEETING I WASN'T

INDICTED.

I JUST THINK WE OUGHT TO HAVE

HIGHER EXPECTATIONS.

I DON'T THINK HE WILL BE

INDICTED.

WHAT DID WE FIND OUT FROM THE

GREG CRAIG CASE?

IT'S HARD TO GET A CONVICTION

EVEN IF YOU ARE INDICTED.

SO THERE HAS TO BE A DIFFERENT

STANDARD OTHER THAN PRISON OR

NOTHING.

>> Julie: THE INSPECTOR GENERAL

SAYS HE WILL ASSESS

REPUBLICAN'S ALLEGATIONS.

YOU SAY YOU DON'T THINK HE WILL

BE INDICTED.

ANYTHING NOT BEING DONE THAT

SHOULD BE DONE?

WHAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE HERE?

>> MY FELLOW CITIZENS NEED TO

HAVE OTHER WAYS OF ASSIGNING A

CONSEQUENCE OTHER THAN

INDICTMENT.

MICHAEL HOROWITZ CAN'T INDICT

ANYONE.

LET'S BE CLEAR.

HE CAN'T INDICT ANYONE.

ALL HE CAN DO IS REFER THE CASE

TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

THE SAME DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

THAT SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP DID

NOT COMMIT A CRIME, REFUSED TO

PROSECUTE JIM COMEY.

AT A MINIMUM WE HAVE TO BE

CONSISTENT.

IF BILL BARR WAS RIGHT IN HIS

ANALYSIS OF THE OBSTRUCTION OF

JUSTICE, HE IS NOT ALSO RIGHT

WHEN HE FAILED TO PROSECUTE OR

DECLINED THE PROSECUTE JIM

COMEY?

WE CAN'T LIKE THEM IF THEY GO

AFTER OUR ENEMIES BUT NOT LIKE

THEM IF THEY GO AFTER OUR

FRIENDS.

THAT'S RELATIVISM AND IT'S NOT

A GOOD THING.

>> "WALL STREET JOURNAL." MR.

HOROWITZ SPEAK.

DEDICATION TO OVERSIGHT AND
