SECURITY ADVISOR JOHN BOLTON.

>> Dana: HAVE A GOOD TIME DOWN

THERE.

THANK YOU.

LET'S BRING IN TREY GOWDY,

FORMER HOUSE OVERSIGHT CHAIRMAN

AND FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.

GREAT TO HAVE YOU.

LET ME START BY ASKING DO YOU

AGREE WITH THE WHITE HOUSE THAT

IT'S UNTENABLE FOR THE SPEAKER

TO HOLD THE ARTICLES OF

IMPEACHMENT AT THE HOUSE AND

NEVER SEND THEM TO THE SENATE?

>> IF HE REALLY IS AN

EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO THE

REPUBLIC, IF HE REALLY IS

COMMITTED CONDUCT THAT SHOULD

RESULT IN HIS REMOVAL FROM

OFFICE, THEN WHY WOULD YOU NOT

GO AHEAD AND SEND IT ON TO THE

SENATE?

THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE HOUSE

NO ROLE IN DECIDING HOW THE

TRIAL TAKES PLACE.

IT'S EXCLUSIVELY WITHIN THE

PROVINCE OF THE SENATE.

I THINK MOST OF MY FELLOW

CITIZENS WILL SEE THROUGH THIS

LET'S HURRY UP AND IMPEACH HIM

AND THEN SIT ON THE INDICTMENT

FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG.

I THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE SMART

ENOUGH TO SEE THROUGH IT.

>> Dana: ONE OF THE THINGS SHE

IS SAYING IS THAT THE SENATE AND

MITCH McCONNELL HAVE NOT

PROVEN THAT IT COULD BE A FAIR

TRIAL.

LISTEN TO SENATOR DICK DURBIN OF

ILLINOIS.

>> THINGS HAVE GONE TOO FAR.

HOW CAN THEY HOLD THEIR HANDS UP

AND SAY I SWEAR IMPARTIAL

JUSTICE THAN I WOULD LIKE TO SIT

AT THE MANAGERS TABLE WITH THE

PRESIDENT'S TEAM?

YOU CAN'T DO IT.

THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

>> Dana: MAJORITY LEADER

MITCH McCONNELL WAS OUT AND

ABOUT THIS MORNING AND THIS IS

WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.

>> ON THE IMPARTIALITY ISSUE, DO

YOU THINK CHUCK SCHUMER IS

IMPARTIAL?

DO YOU THINK ELSBETH WARREN IS

IMPARTIAL, BERNIE SANDERS?

LET'S QUIT THE CHARADE.

IT'S A POLITICAL EXERCISE.

POLITICAL EXERCISE.

ALL I'M ASKING OF SCHUMER IS

THAT WE TREAT TRUMP THE SAME WAY

WE TREATED CLINTON.

>> Dana: ONE OF THE PROBLEMS

IN ALL OF THIS IS THE LANGUAGE

IS THE SAME.

YOU'VE TRIED CASES IN COURTROOMS

WHERE THE TRIAL LOOKS VERY

DIFFERENT FROM WHAT A SENATE

TRIAL WOULD LOOK LIKE.

>> I WISH THIS WERE A JUDICIAL

PROCEEDING BUT KEEP IN MIND IF

IT WERE, ADAM SCHIFF WOULD NOT

OF BEEN LEADING THE

INVESTIGATION.

60 HOUSE DEMOCRATS WOULDN'T HAVE

MADE UP THEIR MINDS FOR THE

FIRST SYLLABLE OF THE MUELLER

REPORT.

ERIC SWALWELL INVESTIGATING THE

PRESIDENT WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO

BECOME THE PRESIDENT.

YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE THAT IN A

REAL JUDICIAL PROCEEDING.

I WISH IT WERE LIKE A JUDICIAL

PROCEEDING.

IT'S NOT.

THE JURY HAS ALREADY MADE UP ITS

MIND.

EVEN DICK DURBIN WHO IS NOW

CALLING FOR IMPARTIALITY, HAS

ALREADY PASSED JUDGMENT ON THE

CREDIBILITY THE WITNESSES.

HE SAID THE PRESIDENT CONDUCT

WAS BENEATH THE DIGNITY OF THE

OFFICE AND HE WAS INCREDIBLE HE

TROUBLED BY IT.

THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE AN

IMPARTIAL, OBJECTIVE,

DISPASSIONATE JUROR.

HOW MANY OF THE SENATORS, HOW

MANY MEMBERS OF THE JURY ARE

ACTUALLY RUNNING TO TAKE

DONALD TRUMP'S JOB?

HE WOULD NEVER HAVE THAT IN A

REAL JUDICIAL PROCEEDING.

MITCH McCONNELL IS RIGHT.

THIS IS A POLITICAL TRIAL, NOT A

JUDICIAL TRIAL.

IF IT WERE A JUDICIAL TRIAL,

NONE OF WHAT'S HAPPENED UP TO

THIS POINT ROAD TAKEN PLACE.

>> Dana: WE HAD THE HOROWITZ

REPORT.

VERY CRITICAL OF THE FBI AND

PUTTING IN DOUBT THE FUTURE OF

FISA AND THE FISA COURT.

TAKE A LISTEN TO LINDSEY GRAHAM

YESTERDAY ON THAT ISSUE.

>> WE ARE GOING TO LOOK LONG AND

HARD AT FISA ABUSE.

WE ARE GOING TO PASS LAWS TO

MAKE SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS

AGAIN.

ACCOUNTABILITY WILL ONLY BE

SUCCESSFUL IF SOMEBODY GETS

FIRED AND I AM LOOKING AT

CHRISTOPHER WRAY TO FIRE

SOMEBODY AT THE FBI.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GO TO JAIL AND

I'M LOOKING AT DURHAM THE WHOLE

PEOPLE CRIMINALLY ACCOUNTABLE

FOR THE LOSS THEY BROKE.

>> Dana: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO FISA?

DO YOU THINK IT'S STILL A

NECESSARY TOOL FOR

LAW ENFORCEMENT?

>> I DO THINK IT'S A NECESSARY

TOOL.

I THINK THE POLICIES ARE ONLY AS

GOOD AS THE PEOPLE IMPLEMENTING

THEM.

2018 HOUSE REPUBLICANS WROTE THE

FISA COURT AND WE ALSO RAISED

ISSUES WITH THE PROCESS.

THE D.C. MEDIA SAID IN THERE,

THE CRAZY HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE

A PROBLEM WITH FISA.

DONALD TRUMP ON THE MORNING WE

WERE GOING TO VOTE TO

REAUTHORIZE THE SURVEILLANCE

PROGRAM SENT OUT A VERY NEGATIVE

TWEET WHICH REQUIRED POMPEO TO

RUN TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND TRY

TO FIX IT.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALREADY

SKITTISH ABOUT THE SURVEILLANCE

PROGRAMS.

IF THE COURT AND THE MEDIA AND

THE DEMOCRATS DO NOT TAKE

HORWITZ'S REPORT SERIOUSLY.

LINDSEY GRAHAM MAY BE THE MOST

HAWKISH MEMBER OF THE SENATE

WHEN IT COMES TO NATIONAL

SECURITY.

IF HE IS TROUBLED BY IT, THEN

IMAGINE WHERE RAND PAUL AND SOME

OF THE OTHER REPUBLICANS.

>> Dana: LET'S GET YOUR

THOUGHTS ABOUT JOHN DURHAM, U.S.

ATTORNEY TASKED WITH THE OVERALL

REPORT OF THE WHOLE RUSSIA

INVESTIGATION AND HOW IT BEGAN.

HE DOESN'T JUST LOOK AT DOJ.

HE LOOKS ACROSS THE BOARD AT THE

INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES AND MORE.

THERE'S AN ARTICLE IN

"THE NEW YORK TIMES" TODAY

BASICALLY QUESTIONING SHOULD

HAVE WAITED ON THE HOROWITZ

REPORT AND ATTORNEY KEVIN

O'CONNOR, YOU MIGHT KNOW HIM.

HE IS FROM CONNECTICUT.

HE SAID IT'S FAIR TO

CHARACTERIZE WHAT JOHN DURHAM

DID AS UNUSUAL IN TERMS OF ITS

PAST PRACTICE.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RATIONALE

WAS BUT I KNOW JOHN WELL ENOUGH

TO KNOW HE DID IT BECAUSE HE,

NOT THE AG OR ANYONE ELSE,

THOUGHT HE HAD AN OBLIGATION TO.

THIS WAS WHEN DURHAM SAID I

DON'T NECESSARILY AGREE OR DON'T

AGREE WITH THE CONCLUSIONS OF

THE HOROWITZ REPORT HE WANTED TO

GET THAT OUT THERE.

YOUR THOUGHTS.

>> I THINK PROSECUTORS ARE IN A

TOUGH SPOT.

YOU WANT TO MAINTAIN

CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR

INVESTIGATION WHICH YOU CAN

ALLOW SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO

PERSUADE THE PUBLIC TO BE

IMPRINTED IN THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS

BEFORE YOU ISSUE THE REPORT.

IT'S A CLOSE CALL.

KEEP IN MIND HORWITZ, BARR, AND

DURHAM.

THE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT THEY ARE

STAYING IS MEASURED IN INCHES,

NOT YARDS.

ORAL WEIGHTS SAYING THERE WAS

ENOUGH TO LAUNCH A FULL

INVESTIGATION.

DURHAM IS SAYING IT WAS ENOUGH

TO START A LIMITED INVESTIGATION

BUT NOT THE FULL INVESTIGATION

AND BARR IS SAYING I'M NOT SURE

IT WAS ENOUGH TO DO THAT.

THIS IS A DRUNKEN CONVERSATION

IN A BAR.

THE THRESHOLD TO START AN

INVESTIGATION IS EXCEEDINGLY

LOW.

THESE THREE GUYS ALL OF WHOM I

HAVE RESPECT FOR OUR JUST

VIEWING IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY

ON WHETHER OR NOT THE PAUCITY OF

EVIDENCE WAS ENOUGH TO DO WHAT

THEY DID.

>> Dana: BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I

UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU MEANT ABOUT

BEING MEASURED IN INCHES AND NOT

YARDS.

IT IS FOOTBALL SEASON AFTER ALL
