  • >> Martha: ADAM SCHIFF TOLD

  • THE INTEL COMMITTEE WHEN THEY

  • WERE IN THE SECURE ROOM KNOWN AS

  • THE SKIFF THAT HE HAD OBTAINED

  • PHONE RECORDS FROM AT&T OF

  • CERTAIN AMERICAN CITIZENS,

  • INCLUDING RUDY GIULIANI AND ALSO

  • REPRESENTATIVE OF DEVIN NUNES

  • WAS IN THAT GROUP OF NUMBERS.

  • THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCUSS

  • IT BECAUSE IT WAS REVEALED TO

  • THEM WHEN THEY WERE INSIDE THE

  • ROOM THAT ONLY ALLOWS CLASSIFIED

  • INFORMATION TO BE DISCUSSED SO

  • NOW THE STORY IS OUT AND MANY,

  • INCLUDING SENATOR RAND PAUL, HAS

  • EXPECT OUTRAGE INC. USING INTEL

  • CHAIRMAN SCHIFF OF SPYING ON

  • DEVIN NUNES AND SAID I WOULD BE

  • AN ABUSE OF POWER.

  • THERE WAS SOME GLEE OVER THE

  • SITUATION IN SOME CORNERS OF

  • CABLE NEWS GRADE WATCH THIS

  • REACTION.

  • >> NUNEZ HAS PROBABLY HAD AND

  • DESERVES ABOUT THE 24 HOURS OF

  • HIS LIFE.

  • HE HAS BEEN CABRIA LEE CAUGHT UP

  • ON THE PHONE DIRECTORY HERE BUT

  • WHAT WAS HE DOING TALKING ALL OF

  • THESE PEOPLE?

  • I MEAN IT'S LIKE PICKING UP THE

  • ROCK AS I SAID IT AND SEEING THE

  • BUG LIFE UNDER THE ROCK.

  • ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WORKING

  • TOGETHER, I MEAN, NEWNESS, AND

  • GIULIANI IT, AND JOHN SOLOMON OF

  • THE HILL, ALL WORKING TOGETHER

  • IN ONE BIG NETWORK, ONE BIG

  • SYNDICATE YOU MIGHT SAY.

  • >> Martha: NOW, DEVIN NUNES,

  • RANKING MEMBER OF THE HOUSE

  • UNTIL COMMITTEE.

  • YOU'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF A LOT OF

  • THINGS LATELY, REPRESENTATIVE

  • NUNES.

  • THESE PHONE CALLS, TRIPS TO

  • VIENNA THAT YOU SAY YOU CAN

  • SUBSTANTIATE THAT YOU WERE NOT

  • THERE --

  • WHAT IS YOUR REACTION?

  • WHAT IS HER RESPONSE TO GREG

  • MATTHEWS AND WHAT HE SAID ABOUT

  • YOU?

  • >> I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED

  • BECAUSE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO, I

  • SAW CHRIS MATTHEWS IN THE LONG

  • WHITE BUILDING, IT WAS LATE AT

  • NIGHT, I THINK IT WAS THERE FOR

  • SOME KIND OF MEETING OR

  • RECEPTION, AND HE COULDN'T GET

  • OUT.

  • HE WAS BLOCKED OUT AND I HELPED

  • WALK THEM OUT AND GOT HIM TO THE

  • DOOR AND I'M A LITTLE

  • DISAPPOINTED THAT HE THINKS THE

  • LOWLY INEBRIATED LOOK, FOR THREE

  • YEARS, I'VE BEEN SLOWLY

  • UNRAVELING WHAT THE DEMOCRATS IN

  • THE LEFT AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE

  • IN THE MEDIA HAVE STARTED WITH

  • THE RUSSIA HOAX AND THEY MOVED

  • TO THE UKRAINE HOAX AND THAT WE

  • HAVE BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE ADS

  • TOUTING THEM ON THINGS LIKE THEY

  • ARE THE ONES THAT PAID FOR THE

  • DOSSIER THAT ENDED UP IN THE

  • HANDS OF THE FBI.

  • WE WILL FIND MORE ABOUT THAT

  • NEXT WEEK.

  • >> Martha: WE ARE GOING TO

  • TALK ABOUT MORE OF THAT COMING

  • UP BUT I JUST WANT TO STICK WITH

  • THIS ISSUE RIGHT NOW.

  • WITH REGARD TO THESE PHONE

  • CALLS, I REMEMBER BACK AFTER

  • 9/11, THE COLLECTION OF METADATA

  • WHAT IS A VERY VOLATILE SUBJECT

  • AND IN FACT, ADAM SCHIFF WAS

  • AMONG THOSE WHO WAS VERY

  • DISTURBED THAT TERRORIST WHO MAY

  • HAVE CONVERSATIONS THAT COME

  • INTO THIS COUNTRY THAT OVERLAP

  • WITH THE CALLS OF AMERICAN

  • CITIZENS AND THAT THOSE NUMBERS

  • WOULD BE PICKED UP WITH A HUGE

  • BREACH OF PRIVACY.

  • SO NOW I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S

  • TRUE, IF THOSE PRIVACY CONCERNS

  • ARE SO PREVALENT BETWEEN

  • TERRORIST AND POTENTIALLY SOME

  • AMERICAN CITIZENS, WHY DID HE

  • THINK THAT IT WAS OKAY IN THIS

  • REGARD TO DIG INTO YOUR PHONE

  • CALLS AND RUDY GIULIANI'S PHONE

  • CALLS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN PHONE

  • CALLS?

  • >> IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

  • WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO TRY TO

  • PROTECT PEOPLE'S CIVIL LIBERTIES

  • AND AT ONE TIME, THE DEMOCRATS

  • ACTUALLY MOSTLY OPPOSED THE USE

  • ALONG WITH LIBERTARIANS IN THE

  • REPUBLICAN PARTY.

  • THEY WERE NOT MIKE OPPOSE THESE

  • PROGRAMS SO THE FACT THAT HE WOU

  • PROGRAMS SO THE FACT THAT HE WOD

  • PROGRAMS SO THE FACT THAT HE WOA

  • PROGRAMS SO THE FACT THAT HE WOT

  • PROGRAMS SO THE FACT THAT HE WOA

  • PROGRAMS SO THE FACT THAT HE WOL

  • PROGRAMS SO THE FACT THAT HE WOY

  • GET THESE PHONE CALLS AND

  • THEN --

  • LOOK, I DON'T KNOW HOW HE EVEN

  • HAS MY NUMBER AND WE ALSO HAVE

  • TO REMEMBER WE DON'T EVEN KNOW

  • MOST OF THESE NUMBERS BECAUSE

  • WHAT HE IS DESCRIBING THESE

  • NUMBERS TO OR NOT THE CASE SO I

  • STILL HAVE TO EVEN GO BACK

  • THROUGH MY PHONE RECORDS TO SEE

  • IF HE'S EVEN TELLING THE TRUTH

  • BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS

  • THIS.

  • RUDY GIULIANI KNOWS A LOT OF

  • MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND I CAN

  • GUARANTEE YOU THERE ARE MANY

  • MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, LIKE

  • MYSELF, THAT SPOKE TO RUDY

  • GIULIANI MORE THAN JUST A FEW

  • TIMES.

  • SO HE IS FRIENDS WITH HIM AND I

  • KNOW --

  • >> Martha: LET ME ASK YOU

  • THIS.

  • I WANT TO HEAR WHAT DID YOU

  • DISCUSS WITH LOVE HARNESS?

  • >> I DON'T EVEN KNOW BECAUSE I

  • NEVER MET HIM AND SO IT'S A

  • GREAT QUESTION BECAUSE MANY

  • PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW, INCLUDING

  • MYSELF.

  • SO --

  • >> Martha: YOU NEVER HAD ANY

  • PHONE CONVERSATION WITH HIM?

  • >> WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO

  • CONFIRM THAT YET.

  • >> Martha: YOU DON'T THINK YOU

  • WOULD REMEMBER?

  • >> YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER.

  • YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER WE ARE THE

  • HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE

  • OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE SO WE GET

  • CALLS FROM PEOPLE EVERY DAY, ALL

  • WALKS OF LIFE, I GET THEM FROM

  • ALL OVER THE WORLD, ALLIES AND

  • PEOPLE THAT AREN'T OUR ALLIES.

  • IN THIS CASE, I JUST DON'T KNOW.

  • >> Martha: ARE THESE FROM

  • CELL PHONES OR YOUR OFFICE

  • PHONE?

  • >> WE DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT.

  • >> Martha: SEE YOU DIDN'T HAVE

  • AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE

  • PHONE NUMBERS THAT ARE ON THERE

  • AT ALL?

  • >> WE ARE SITTING WITH THOUSANDS

  • OF PAGES OF METADATA OF NUMBERS

  • SO SOMEHOW THEY WENT THROUGH

  • THERE AND FOUND MY CELL NUMBER A

  • FEW TIMES AND WAS EVEN WORSE IS,

  • IF THEY USE THAT, THEY

  • SELECTIVELY USED MY NUMBERS

  • IN ORDER TO BUILD ON THEIR

  • CONSPIRACY THEORY THAT SOMEHOW

  • MYSELF AND MY TWO STAFFERS,

  • FORMER STAFFER, ONE CURRENT

  • STAFFER, THAT THEY DON'T LIKE,

  • BECAUSE WE EMBARRASSED THEM WITH

  • THE RUSSIA HOAX, AND THAT'S WHAT

  • THIS IS ALL ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT

  • RETRIBUTION FOR WHAT WE HAVE

  • DONE TO THEM THE LAST THREE

  • YEARS BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIKE

  • THAT WE OUTED THEM WITH THEIR

  • RUSSIA HOAX ANOTHER UKRAINE

  • HOAX.

  • THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.

  • SO WE CAN'T TRUST --

  • I'M NOT GOING TO TRUST ANYTHING

  • THAT ADAM SCHIFF HAS TO SAY

  • UNTIL WE ACTUALLY GO THROUGH

  • THOUSANDS OF PAGES OF METADATA.

  • >> Martha: ON THAT NOTE, AN

  • INTERESTING STORY THEY CAME OUT

  • TONIGHT FROM THE WASHINGTON

  • JOURNAL BECAUSE ONE OF THE BIG

  • HEADLINES WAS THAT THERE WAS

  • THIS PHONE CALL TO OWEN B WHICH

  • OBVIOUSLY IS VERY RELEVANT HERE

  • BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE OFFICE

  • THAT COULD PERHAPS HAVE BEEN

  • INVOLVED IN THE WITHHOLDING OF

  • AIDS THAT I GOT A LOT OF

  • ATTENTION BUT TONIGHT, THE

  • WASHINGTON JOURNAL IS REPORTING

  • THAT IT IS ACTUALLY NOT POSSIBLE

  • TO IDENTIFY WHETHER OR NOT THAT

  • CALL WENT TO OWEN D BECAUSE IT

  • WAS A GROUP CALL NUMBER THAT

  • COULD HAVE GONE TO A NUMBER OF

  • PLACES IN THE WHITE HOUSE HEAR

  • WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?

  • >> THAT'S REALLY MY POINT.

  • YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYTHING THIS

  • GUY SAYS.

  • THE REASON HE USED MY NUMBERS

  • AND MY STAFF'S NUMBERS IS TO SAY

  • THAT WE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH

  • JOVANOVICH BEING FIRED.

  • I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO THEY WERE

  • UNTIL THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

  • >> Martha: I SEE WHAT YOU'RE

  • SAYING.

  • WHEN YOU SAY THAT ADAM SCHIFF

  • AND SENATOR RAND PAUL WHAT THEY

  • SAID IS GUILTY OR PERHAPS SHOULD

  • BE CONSIDERED FOR ABUSE OF POWER

  • IN THIS CASE?

  • >> VERY GOOD QUESTION.

  • FIRST OF ALL, TO RELATE TO CNN,

  • I WAS IN INDIANA.

  • I WAS IN BENGHAZI.

  • I WAS IN MALTA PICKING UP THE

  • REMAINS OF THE WORLD WAR II

  • TRUTH AND HAVING A CEREMONY SO

  • THAT HE COULD GO GET BACK TO HIS

  • FAMILY AND BE BURIED HERE IN THE

  • UNITED STATES.

  • THAT'S HOW SICK THESE PEOPLE AR

  • ARE.

  • WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT ALL

  • LEGAL OPTIONS OVER THE NEXT

  • COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS BECAUSE

  • CLEARLY MY CIVIL RIGHTS AND

  • CIVIL LIBERTIES WERE VIOLATED.

  • CLEARLY JOHN SOLOMON'S WERE,

  • REPORTER, AND ANOTHER GOOD

  • POINT --

  • I BET THERE'S A LOT OF REPORTERS

  • AT FOX THAT RUDY GIULIANI SPOKE

  • TO THAT ADAM SCHIFF'S, AT ANY

  • GIVEN TIME, HE COULD RELEASE

  • THAT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY URGENT

  • TIME FOR SOMEBODY TO WRITE THE

  • STORY THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE FOX

  • OR ANY OTHER NETWORK COMES OUT

  • WITH BECAUSE HE'S SITTING ON ALL

  • THOSE NUMBERS.

  • >> Martha: A LOT OF PEOPLE

  • TALKED TO A LOT OF PEOPLE TO

  • BOOK THEM AND TO HAVE STORIES

  • AND ALL OF THAT SO I'M SURE YOU

  • ARE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.

  • I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THE

  • SPECIFIC CONNECTIONS BUT IF YOU

  • CAN GET THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE

  • CALL, IT REALLY MAKES IT
