  • >> Martha: INTEL COMMITTEE

  • CHAIRMAN ADAM SCHIFF TAKING SOME

  • CREATIVE LIBERTY AT TODAY'S

  • HEARING WITH ACTING DIRECTOR OF

  • NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE JOSEPH

  • MAGUIRE.

  • RATHER THAN READING FROM THE

  • TRANSCRIPT AS IT EXISTS, AND WE

  • ALL NOW HAVE IN THE OPEN OF THE

  • PRESIDENT'S PHONE CALL WITH THE

  • UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT ZELENSKY, HE

  • PARRIED IT IN A SORT OF REVERSE

  • IMPROV.

  • WATCH THIS.

  • >> I HAVE A FAVOR I WANT FROM

  • YOU THOUGH I'M GOING TO SAY THIS

  • ONLY SEVEN TIMES, SO YOU BETTER

  • LISTEN GOOD.

  • I WANT YOU TO MAKE UP DIRT ON MY

  • POLITICAL OPPONENT, UNDERSTAND,

  • LOTS OF IT, ON THIS AND ON THAT.

  • I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN TOUCH

  • WITH PEOPLE, NOT JUST ANY

  • PEOPLE, I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN

  • TOUCH WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL OF

  • THE UNITED STATES, MY

  • ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR AND

  • I'M GOING TO PUT YOU IN TOUCH

  • WITH RUDY, YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE

  • HIM, TRUST ME.

  • >> Martha: JOINING ME NOW IS

  • TREY GOWDY, FORMER CHAIRMAN OF

  • THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE

  • AND A FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR, THAT

  • WAS MOST LIKE DR. SEUSS AND HIS

  • DELIVERY.

  • I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY HE DIDN'T

  • USE THE ACTUAL WORDS THAT EXIST

  • SINCE THEY ARE VERY MUCH OUT IN

  • THE OPEN.

  • >> IF YOU DON'T HAVE GOOD FACTS,

  • YOU GOT TO MAKE THEM UP.

  • ADAM SCHIFF HAS ONE OF THE WORST

  • SENSES OF HUMOR OF ANYONE I'VE

  • EVER MET, SO HE DOESN'T NEED TO

  • TRY PARITY, BUT YOU'VE GOT TO

  • KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS THE SAME

  • SCHIFF THAT SAID HE HAD EVIDENCE

  • OF COLLUSION.

  • HE'S NOT MAKING THAT MISTAKE

  • THIS TIME, HE'S NOT CLAIMING

  • HE'S GOT SOMETHING HE DOESN'T

  • HAVE, HE'S JUST GOING TO MAKE IT

  • UP AND HE MADE IT UP ON NATIONAL

  • TELEVISION AND I APPLAUD ANY

  • DEMOCRATS WHO CRITICIZE -- I

  • WOULD CRITICIZE A REPUBLICAN FOR

  • MAKING STUFF UP AND SOMETHING IS

  • SERIOUS IS THIS HEARING, HE

  • SHOULD BE CRITICIZED ALSO.

  • >> Martha: IT'S NOT NECESSARY

  • AND THERE'S NO REASON -- THOSE

  • ARE NOT THE PRESIDENT'S WORDS.

  • THOSE ARE HIS WORDS, AND IT'S SO

  • IMPORTANT IN THE MIDST OF THIS

  • INVESTIGATION THAT WE ACTUALLY

  • DEAL IN THE FACTS.

  • THERE IS AN ASSESSMENT

  • "THE NEW YORK POST" TODAY, HE

  • WAS IN THE CIA, HE NOW SPEAKS

  • HERE AND ELSEWHERE ABOUT

  • INTELLIGENCE ISSUES, HE SAYS

  • THAT THE LANGUAGE OF THIS

  • COMPLAINT TO HIM SEEMED VERY

  • SORT OF CALCULATED, VERY LEGAL,

  • THAT MAYBE HE HAD OUTSIDE HELP,

  • THAT THE LANGUAGE IN IT WAS VERY

  • LEGAL, WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN

  • YOU READ IT?

  • DID THAT OCCUR TO YOU OR NO?

  • >> IT WAS WELL WRITTEN.

  • YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A LAWYER TO

  • WRITE SOMETHING WELL, AND IT

  • CERTAINLY TRACKED THE

  • APPROPRIATE STATUTES BUT IT ALSO

  • WASN'T LEAKED, SO I WILL GIVE

  • THE WHISTLE-BLOWER CREDIT FOR

  • NOT LEAKING IT.

  • THERE ARE THREE ALLEGATIONS, THE

  • PRESIDENT MISUSED HIS OFFICE,

  • NUMBER TWO THAT THEY MISHANDLED

  • THE PHONE CALL IN THE AFTERMATH,

  • AND THEN THIS KIND OF UNUSUAL --

  • THEIR PERCEPTION THAT IT'S

  • UNUSUAL THAT THE PRESIDENT WOULD

  • ASK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND

  • MAYOR GIULIANI TO INVESTIGATE

  • POTENTIAL CORRUPTION, SO THOSE

  • OF THE THREE ALLEGATIONS, BUT

  • THE TRANSCRIPT ACTUALLY

  • ADDRESSES TWO OF THOSE THREE

  • PRETTY WELL.

  • >> Martha: SO WHAT DO YOU

  • THINK ABOUT THE SUGGESTION AT

  • THE END OF THE PHONE TRANSCRIPT

  • WITH REGARDS TO JOE BIDEN AND

  • LOOKING INTO HIM?

  • DO YOU SEE -- IS IT SEPARABLE

  • FROM THE ELECTION GIVEN THE

  • CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHERE WE ARE

  • RIGHT NOW TO IOWA AND JOE BIDEN

  • OUT ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL, OR

  • NOT?

  • >> KEEP IN MIND, WHO BROUGHT UP

  • RUDY GIULIANI?

  • IT WASN'T DONALD TRUMP, IT WAS

  • THE PRESIDENT OF THE UKRAINE.

  • THAT WAS THE FIRST REFERENCE TO

  • GIULIANI.

  • THE DEFENSE, THAT WAS THE

  • PRESIDENT OF UKRAINE, THAT

  • WASN'T PRESIDENT TRUMP, SO I

  • THINK IT CAN BE SEPARATED IN

  • THIS WAY.

  • I WANT US ASKING COUNTRIES,

  • PARTICULARLY ONES THAT WOULD

  • GIVE MONEY TO, WHETHER OR NOT

  • YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH

  • CORRUPTION.

  • I THINK BACK TO 2016, WE NOT

  • ONLY TALK, BUT WE SOLICITED HELP

  • FROM OTHER COUNTRIES TRYING TO

  • FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT THE

  • RUSSIANS WERE INTERFERING WITH

  • OUR ELECTION.

  • TO BE SURE PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS

  • NOT ON THE BALLOT, BUT HE WAS

  • CRITICIZED FOR NOT ASKING FOR

  • MORE HELP FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES

  • TO STOP IT, SO WHATEVER WAS GOOD

  • FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA, LET'S AT

  • LEAST APPLY THE SAME STANDARD TO

  • PRESIDENT TRUMP, BE FAIR ABOUT

  • IT.

  • >> Martha: YOU MADE SOME

  • INTERESTING COMMENTS IN THE

  • NOTES THAT YOU SENT EARLIER.

  • YOU SAY HAVE OTHERS ASK FOREIGN

  • GOVERNMENTS TO ASSIST LIKE THIS

  • IN INVESTIGATIONS?

  • HAVE OTHERS EMPLOYED PRIVATE

  • CITIZENS WITH REFERENCE TO RUDY

  • GIULIANI.

  • I GUESS I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS

  • ABOUT THAT.

  • HAVE THEY COME I THINK YOU CAN

  • PROBABLY POINT TO EXAMPLES WHERE

  • THEY HAVE, AND IS IT NECESSARILY

  • RELEVANT?

  • IF THEY HAVE?

  • >> I THINK IT'S RELEVANT THAT WE

  • TREAT PEOPLE THE SAME.

  • I THINK IT'S RELEVANT IF OUR

  • GOVERNMENT ASKS FOR FOREIGN

  • ASSISTANCE IN THE 2016 ELECTION

  • AND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ASKING

  • FOR FOREIGN ASSISTANCE TO KEEP

  • CORRUPTION -- IS NO STATUTE OF

  • LIMITATIONS ON CORRUPTION.

  • JOE BIDEN, WHETHER HE'S THE

  • NOMINEE OR NOT, HE WAS THE

  • VICE PRESIDENT.

  • I'M NOT PREJUDGING ANYTHING, BUT

  • IF ANY VICE PRESIDENT TRIES TO

  • ASSERT INFLUENCE TO STOP AN

  • INVESTIGATION, I THINK YOUR

  • VIEWERS OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT IT

  • IN TERMS OF HIRING PRIVATE

  • CITIZENS, DANIEL RICHMOND LEAPS

  • TO MIND.

  • COMEY'S FRIEND.

  • >> Martha: UNDERSTOOD.

  • THIS IS JOHN BRENNAN TODAY ON

  • TWITTER AND I'VE GOT TWO THINGS

  • I WANT TO SHOW YOU HERE, THIS IS

  • THE FIRST ONE.

  • WHISTLE-BLOWER DESERVES OUR

  • PRAISE AND GRATITUDE,

  • DONALD TRUMP GETTING VERY SLOPPY

  • AND CARELESS AND CORRUPT

  • PRACTICES AND COVER UP AT TIMES,

  • DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, THOSE

  • WHO HAVE A CONSCIENCE NEED TO

  • WORK TOGETHER TO PREVENT

  • DESPERATE MOVES BY TRUMP THAT

  • COULD WREAK FURTHER HAVOC,

  • JOHN BRENNAN SURFACING ON THIS

  • AGAIN.

  • >> NO ONE I KNOW GIVES A DAMN

  • WHAT JOHN BRENNAN THINKS.

  • HE IS IN THE DUSTPAN OF HISTORY,

  • HE HIT THE PRESIDENT, DIDN'T

  • WANT HIM TO GET ELECTED, DID

  • EVERYTHING HE COULD TO KEEP THEM

  • FROM GETTING ELECTED, SO I'M A

  • LOT OLDER THAN YOU, MARTHA, BUT

  • I'M TO THE POINT I'M JUST NOT

  • GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE

  • I DON'T RESPECT THINK AND

  • JOHN BRENNAN FALLS IN THAT

  • CATEGORY.

  • >> Martha: ALL RIGHT,

  • KAMALA HARRIS SAYS THAT SHE SAYS

  • I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, BAR,

  • MEANING BILL BARR, MUST COME

  • BEFORE CONGRESS AND TESTIFY

  • UNDER OATH ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT

  • HE WAS ASKED TO BE INVOLVED IN

  • ANY OF THIS CORRUPTION

  • INVESTIGATION, WHAT YOU THINK

  • ABOUT THAT BEFORE I LET YOU GO?

  • >> VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A

  • PROSECUTOR DOES NOT

  • UNDERSTAND -- JIM COMEY ALSO

  • WANTED THAT SERVER.

  • THE FBI WANTED THE SERVER, SO

  • WHY IS IT OKAY FOR JIM COMEY TO

  • WANT THE SERVER, BUT THE

  • ATTORNEY GENERAL -- LOOK, I KNOW

  • SHE DOESN'T WANT HIM TO BE THE

  • AG.

  • I KNOW SHE DIDN'T OFFER HIM, BUT

  • HE IS THE AG AND THE PRESIDENT

  • HAS THE RIGHT TO ASK THE

  • ATTORNEY GENERAL TO GO GET

  • EVIDENCE OF A POTENTIAL CRIME.

  • COMEY DID IT, THE DNC JUST

  • DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM.

  • >> Martha: IT SEEMS LIKE

  • EXACTLY THE PLACE YOU WOULD GO.

  • >> Martha: IF YOU WANT TO DO

  • AN INVESTIGATION, YOU WANT TO

  • COORDINATE WITH THE MOTHER

  • COUNTRY, YOU WANT TO INVOLVE

  • YOUR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,

>> Martha: INTEL COMMITTEE
