Page 7 - Interview Notes News Today

Interview forms, that this time are related to the back ground investigation of would-be supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. they have been saying that the fbi is all done, all those 302s, all those interview notes from the fbi agents talking to people, interviewing witnesses, those 302s, those interview notes are duing to handed over to the senate any second now. and who know it is that really is true in terms of the timing? lots of things reported about the supposed speed and supposed scope...

Internal, confidential notes and documents from the investigation. i mean, to be clear, the fbi doesnt release stuff like this. they dont release their agents notes from investigatory notes, except when they do. in the interest of transparency. because there was lots of political pressure for them to do it. then, apparently, they do it. that is worth remembering tonight, as we await word on the fbi interview notes, these same kind of documents, these 302 interview forms, that this time are relat...

Saying that whatever is handed over from the fbi from this background investigation, and whenever the senate gets it, those material hs be handled with the strictest secrecy. not a single letter of a single word will be made available to the public. why are they insisting on that kind of secrecy with the kavanaugh back ground investigation? well, they insist thats the appropriate treatment we should all expect from fbi interview notes. the public never gets to see those. yeah, normally that woul...

Interview notes from an investigation. the public never gets to see those. yeah, normally that would be the case. if the fbi always acted by the book, if the fbi wasnt susceptible as an agency to public pressure and political haranguing. theoretically, that would be the case. fbi interview notes, these 302s, they dont become public documents. however, we know from recent history, there are exceptions when the fbi feels like it. ask the hillary clinton campaign and that nice political kick in the...

Getting in the process of sending them to the senate and white house? >> thats sort of outside my skating lane here. i dont know what stage the report is in. i talked to three different senators on the judiciary committee over the last hour. some democrats, some republicans. and none of them know exactly the stage that this report is in. they all have their own sources. theyre all hearing from different people that theyve gone beyond -- the fbi has gone beyond talking to those original four witn...

To be investigated? >> any woman thats come forward publicly with her name and allegation should be investigated by the fbi. i dont think its a thorough investigation unless theyre interviewed. and unless mark judge is interviewed. its telling that hes unwilling to come forward publicly. you know, he is the -- >> he has agreed to be interviewed by any law enforcement agency that promises to do so confidentially. that seems to be the one real output of whats different in this fbi investigation or...

And now you have the president demanding an additional 20 or so pages of a fisa application be made public. and thats an application that has already been redacted and made public, so hes actually asking for the redacted portions of these 20 pages to be made public. weve never seen anything like it. >> completely unprecedented. for those who believe theres a plot against the president, this certainly seems to be an offshoot of that. >> sure. and it plays into that conspiratorial view of the fede...

Just beyond the corruption for political purposes of the process. then he wants the interview notes and text messages from his enemys list put up in the public so frankly i think that is conspiracy minded surrogates can go through it, and keep searching for the unguarded moment and the unwise word to further stir this pot and delegitimize the ongoing investigation. >> lets break it up. we are talking about the fisa application for carter page and what they want undockeded is the 20 pages, and we...

Exercise what if bill clinton called louis freeh, the fbi director to the white house that day and said i want you to investigate how ken starr had a spy in my circle. that would be linda tripp, lets say. and i want you to turn over to congress all of your interview notes from monica lewinsky. >> can i answer that question for you? >> yes, please. >> we republicans would have burned washington to the ground that afternoon. its so ridiculous. bill clinton would do 1/1000th of what donald trump is...

A look at things. this is what you said you wanted, but are potentially look at the evidence. they decide it can be released in some form or they could to say because everything leaks unfortunately. they make it to see kind of what led them down this road and if theres anything thats more clear to general flynn will know about it. and what does that say about the investigation? >> dan: the secret service, we didnt interview. we take notes and we type it up later but it wasnt really a formal form...
