I WOULD BE BELIEVE THAT?

DEVIN NUNES IS RIGHT IN THE

MIDDLE OF ALL THIS, THE RANKING

REPUBLICAN ON THE INTEL

COMMITTEE AND HE JOINS US

TONIGHT.

THE FORMER CHAIRMAN.

THANK YOU FOR COMING ON.

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS EXPLANATION?

>> NO.

THIS EXPLANATION?

NO.

>> Tucker: AND LOOKS FROM THE

PERSPECTIVE ON THE PEOPLE FROM

THE OUTSIDE LIKE ADAM SCHIFF'S

OFFICE GUIDED THIS COMPLAINT LIK

OFFICE GUIDED THIS COMPLAINT LIE

IT WAS A SET UP.

>> IT LOOKED LIKE HE KNEW

SOMETHING BEFORE HAND BECAUSE

THIS WAS IN THE PRESS AND THEN

UI AND STORIES WRITTEN BY GBS

REPORTERS AND THEN YOU

FAST-FORWARD AND HE HAD A COUPLE

OF TIMES THAT HE COULD HAVE TOLD

US IN PRIVATE THAT THIS HAD

HAPPENED.

NOTHING BUY A LOT MAKES HIM --

HE DIDN'T HAVE TO TELL US, BUT

HE CLEARLY GAVE NO INDICATION

THAT HE HAD EVER MET WITH THE

WHISTLE-BLOWER OR ANYBODY ON HIS

TEAM HAD EVER MET WITH THE

WHISTLE-BLOWER.

THAT'S THE REAL ISSUE HERE.

TWO OPPORTUNITIES -- TWO

OPPORTUNITIES BEHIND CLOSED

DOORS AND HE DIDN'T TELL US.

>> Tucker: THIS IS NOT ONE

AMONG MANY STORIES.

THIS IS THE BASIS FOR THE

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT OF

UNITED STATES.

IT'S NOT A SMALL THING, IT'S THE

OPPOSITE OF THAT.

HOW CAN ANY OF US HAVE

CONFIDENCE THAT THIS ISN'T A

PURE PARTISAN INVENTION?

>> IT IS AND IT'S NOT A REAL

IMPEACHMENT THE WAY THAT

IMPEACHMENT PROCESSES WORK, THE

OTHER TIME IT HAS BEEN USED.

I CAME FROM THE CAPITAL AND WE

HAD NINE HOURS OF AMBASSADOR, IF

YOU LISTEN TO THE MAINSTREAM

MEDIA, THIS WAS GOING TO BE THE

GUY THAT WAS GOING TO GIVE UP

ALL THE GOODS ON RUDY GIULIANI

BECAUSE THIS WAS THE SPECIAL

ENVOY TO UKRAINE ON BEHALF OF

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

OF COURSE THEY WENT ON AND ON

AND ON.

WHY DID THEY KEEP GOING ON AND

ON?

THEY WEREN'T GETTING WHAT THEY

WANTED TO.

I CAME IN THERE AT THE END AND I

FELT HORRIBLE FOR THE MAN.

HE HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVANT AND

IS GETTING MARRIED IN A FEW

WEEKS AND HE WANTS THIS TO BE

DONE WITH SPIRIT HE WOULD KNOW

THAT BY NUMBER ONE, BEFORE HIS

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED OT

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED OE

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED OR

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED OS

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED ON

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED OE

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED OT

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED OE

TESTIMONY AND WHAT HAS LEAKED O.

>> Tucker: I HAVE TO ASK YOU,

YOU WERE IN CHARGE OF THE

OVERSIGHT OF THE CAA AND OTHER

INTEL AGENCIES AS THE HOUSE OF

THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, DO

YOU FEEL THAT OUR

INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ARE

PROPERLY OVERSEEN BY THE

CONGRESS?

DOES THE CONGRESS -- DOESN'T

DEMOCRACY HAVE CONTROL?

>> I THINK YOU COULD ARGUE OVER

THE FBI'S COUNTERINTELLIGENCE

AREA THAT STARTED THIS

INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN, NO.

A ZERO.

THE FBI HAS NOT COOPERATED

THROUGHOUT THIS INVESTIGATION.

PERHAPS WITH WHAT THE ATTORNEY

GENERAL IS DOING RUNNING THE

INVESTIGATION INTO THE

BEGINNINGS OF THE RUSSIAN PROBE,

YES.

WITH THE CIA, I THINK THE

CHALLENGES HAVE BEEN -- WILL

REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN PUSHING,

YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER THESE

AGENTS PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE

LINE.

THE PEOPLE THAT ARE OUT IN THE

FIELD.

THE CHALLENGE YOU HAVE IS THAT

THEY ARE WAY TOO MANY

INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS AND

CONSULTANTS AND FORMER AGENTS

NOW PONTIFICATING ON NETWORKS

THAT LIVE HERE IN THE SWAMP.

LOOK, THERE IS A REASON TO HAVE

A SMALL COUNTRY OF FOLKS HERE,

AND I CAN'T GIVE THE NUMBER, BUT

I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE MAJORITY

OF PEOPLE ARE HERE IN THE SWAMP

WHICH IS NOT WHERE THEY

SHOULD BE.

>> Tucker: OF COURSE NOT.

THE MAJORITY?

REALLY?

>> I THINK IT WOULD BE THE

MAJORITY.

WHEN YOU TAKE THE DEPARTMENT OF

DEFENSE, CIA, DNI.

>> Tucker: THEY ARE HANGING

AROUND THE CAPITAL CITY.

>> LOBBYING FOR MORE MONEY FOR

THEIR PROGRAMS.

I TELL YOU, ONE THING THA PEOPLE

FORGET, I WAS THE WALL AND

IRONICALLY IN THE SPRING OF

16 WHEN THEY'RE OPENING THE

INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN FOR COLLUDING WITH

RUSSIANS, I WENT OUT AND SAID

THE BIGGEST INTELLIGENCE WAS OUR

ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND

VLADIMIR PUTIN'S PLANS AND

INTENTIONS.

IN THE SPRING OF 2016 AND OF

COURSE YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID TO

ME, THE PRESS CORPS IN THIS TOWN

AND THE DEMOCRATS.
