Page 67 - Sam Clovis News Today

Greatest concern with what is going on and taking place. the american people deserve to know every bit of it. >> eric: sam clovis agrees with you, the foreign affairs advisor to trump. he did an interview with whr radio in iowa and man, oh man he thinks his fourth amendment rights were violated. listen to what he says about meeting with that reputed informant who he did not know was operating on behalf of the f.b.i. >> the residual effect is, i think, is whats going on right now but i also think...

Monumental week here in washington the ceremonial guard is drilling behind us in the white house driveway in anticipation of moon jae-in the president of south korea an hour from now. the president meantime going heavy on this idea that the f.b.i. and some kind of informant who was reaching out to members of the presidents campaign in 2016, three members of the campaign that we have been able to confirm, sam clovis, carter page and george papadopoulos. its another way for the president to try to...

Informant, to talk to americans serving in the presidential campaign. lets not kid ourselves. that is a huge deal. my sources say that probably required the approval of the attorney general of the united states. it speaks to the extent to which the fbi is suspected russian influence on the trump campaign and were trying to get to the bottom of it. but it is open to criticism, because these were unsuspecting members of the trump campaign. some suspect a foreign agent, but in the case of sam clovi...

Extraordinarily difficult job. hes walking this tight rope and if i read his statement correctly, hes probably understands the nature of the investigation and already knows that the trump campaign was neither surveilled or there was an informant as the president said implanted into the campaign. right? we know what the facts are here. they have been publicly aired. the fbi had a third party talk to three people who were at one time part of the trump campaign. right? sam clovis, carter page and g...

To ask them about relations with russia. >> what you have is an ongoing effort to undermine not only the mueller investigation, but the intelligence organizations, the cia and fbi, that started this counter-intelligence effort based on the idea that russia was bette interfearing in an ong election. this changes nothing in terms of the substance. the president has backed off the embedded stuff. iat one point he said it was bigger than watergate. >> he was talking about infiltration. >> all three ...

Several reports since then, there was no mole inside the campaign but as the fbi became increasingly worried about possible links with russia, it had a fellow, apparently an american professor based in england, talk to several members of the trump campaign, particularly in the foreign policy area. does that bother you? >> yeah, it bothers me that there may be an informant in one of the campaigns, unless theres a good reason. all i can tell you is the dossier compiled by mr. steele that was given...

>> eric: clovis left the campaign. george papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the f.b.i. carter page is a notorious character. the 64,000 dollar question is this. who sent the professor? was he sent by american intel for which he is known to have worked because of the insatiable appetite for raw intelligence about innocent americans that the american intelligence community has? or was he sent by the f.b.i. to gather evidence of crimes? if he was sent by intel its wrong but probably not crimi...

Gather evidence of crimes thats the moral equivalent of a search under the fourth amendment. and in order to justify that, the f.b.i. would need a search warrant. in order to get the search warrant they have to present evidence of crimes going on in the campaign to a federal judge to get the search warrant. if all that happened then as outrageous as it sounds his presence was lawful. if it was short of that, that is if he went there to chat with people, to see what information he could get from ...

Where he said, hey, its coming. just wait, in a way he could not have picked up from google alerts. >> he did. the thing that got him in greater trouble is the testimony to bob mueller and the grand jury of longtime associate nunberg who if you will recall some weeks ago on this network and others -- >> what a week -- what a week that was. >> after he had been called to see mueller came on and testified to a couple things we know hes talked about. roger stone said to sam nunberg he was going to ...

With how activized the parkland students and young progressives are and thats a real problem for republicans. >> mark mazzetti has a lot of reporting on what were talking about coming up. but lets set the scene, the department of justice has reacted to the threat of an ultimatum from president trump who tweeted on sunday that he would demand an investigation into reports that a long time u.s. intelligence source met with three trump aides during the 2016 election. those aides include campaign co...
