Transcripts For FBC Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo 20240714

Team while joseph misfoot was not . Also Kevin Mcaleenan on the Trump Administration scoring two major victories to secure the border, but questions loom. What help will the president get from Congressional Democrats . All that right here, right now as we look ahead on sunday morning futures. Maria and good morning. New reaction to one of the most anticipated hearings on capitol hill in a very long time. Former special Counsel Robert Mueller answering questions last week on his nearly twoyear investigation on Russian Election interference. Democrats say muellers testimony is empowering them to ramp up investigations of President Trump. But republicans were left questioning how engaged mueller really was in writing of that report. And why there wasnt more focus on the origins of the fbis counterintelligence investigation into the Trump Campaign. Republicans pressing for answers on a mysterious figure who looms large in the investigation. You heard about him here first, a london professor who interacted with George Papadopoulos. Did you interview him . Is he western intelligence or russian intelligence . Cant get into that. A lot of things you cant get into. Whats interesting is you can charge 13 russians no ones ever heard of, no ones ever going to see them, you can charge them and all kinds of people who are around the president with false statements, but the guy who launches the guy who puts this whole story in motion, you cant charge him. Once mifsud finally was questioned, he made false statements to the fbi. But you declined to charge him. Is that correct . You did not indict mr. Mifsud . Im not going to speak to series of happenings as you articulate them. The time of the gentleman has expired. Pardon . You did not indict mr. Mifsud . True. Maria democratic investigators are deciding where to go from here, but there appears to be disagreement about what comes next. Filing an application for the grand jury material underlying the Mueller Report. That information is critically important for our ability to examine witnesses including former White House Counsel Don Mcgahn and to investigate the president s misconduct. We will proceed when we have what we need to proceed. Not one day sooner. And everybody has the liberty and the luxury to espouse their own position and to criticize me for trying to go down the path in the most determined, positive way. Maria President Trump weighed in on twitter writing this Robert Muellers testimony and the Mueller Report itself was a disaster for this illegal democratinspired witch hunt. It is an embarrassment to the usa that they dont know how to stop. They cant help themselves, they are totally lost. They are clowns, writes the president. Joining me right now, one of the law makers to who questioned mueller, republican congressman from california, devin nunes is the Ranking Member of the House Intel Committee, a member of the house ways and means committee, and hes among the few congressmen who have been on this program for the last two and a half years telling the truth about what has taken place. Congressman, thanks very much for joining us. Thank you, maria. Great to be with you. Maria reaction, your reaction from the mueller testimony. Well, first of all, its clear that mueller didnt write the report, and so who wrote the report . We think there were five or six lawyers involved. Were still trying to get to bottom of that. I would say one of the main takeaways is that we still dont have any russians, right . We dont know who the russians were that supposedly, you know, colluded with the Trump Campaign. Why . Because there were none, and thats what we said two and a half years ago. There is evidence that the democrats colluded with the russians. We tried to get to the bottom of that but, clearly, mueller is and his team of lawyers and 40 investigators and 40 million didnt bother to look for those russians. They were only looking for the russians that the were mysterious because they dont exist and they never found them. Maria you focused on Joseph Mifsud in some of your questions. We had George Papadopoulos on this program earlier in the year, and he basically broke the news about the fact that he was the first person to tell him that russia had Hillary Clintons emails. Also he broke news on this program earlier this year that another individual dropped 10,000 on his lap, another situation that you mentioned in your questioning. Why was it so important for you to mention people like mifsud and others . Well, remember, mifsud is at the heart of this investigation. He is the one who supposedly knows about clintons emails, that the russians have clinton emails. He supposedly said this to papadopoulos, something about emails. This is the excuse and the well, actually, its not the excuse, it is the reason why, the documented reason why they opened the investigation on july 31, 2016. Now, what i mentioned in my testimony and in my questioning, its clear that the fbi did not open the investigation on july 31st. Thats the paperwork. What were trying to figure out is when did the fbi really start to run the investigation, what types of processes did they use, what was the predicate. Because, look, it really appears like they were spying on the Trump Campaign. So let me, if i may, start with there was an event at Cambridge University where carter page was invited to it. In addition, Steven Miller and other Trump Campaign people were invited in june, in late may, early june. They get an invitation to a symposium that was held in cambridge in early july. Now, at this, at this symposium you have characters like the british historian Christopher Andrew, you have people like the former head of mi6, richard deerlove. This is some type of contract for hire spying outfit. What you have there is an american citizen, somebody whos long been involved in politics, and the guys name is steven schragey. He knows that the house intelligence committee, the Senate Intelligence committee, the fbi, we want to talk to anyone and everyone who was dealing with carter page and other Trump Associates especially in early 2016. He is the one who invited carter page to this event. Schragey is the one who organized this event. But instead of coming forward, a guy whos been involved in politics for this long doesnt come forward . I want to know did he know about the steele dossier at that time . When did he find out about the steele dossier . Did he give it to anyone . Those are the types of things that he needs to come clean on because you know, look, maybe he was just a guy working for minimum wage, sweeping the floors around cambridge. I highly doubt it. Now, when you look at the other brits that were involved in, more. Martha underpar what, this also marr ya, this also tied in with general flynn. Specifically, Christopher Andrew said that general flynn had a russian girlfriend. Well, that sounds really bad if general flynn had a russian girlfriend. Well, in fact, when you actually look at it, you know, who she actually is, she was born in russia, shes now a u. K. Citizen and, guess what . She was never interviewed by the mueller team. So you dont interview schagey, supposedly flynns girlfriend this is the reason they open up an investigation on general flynn she doesnt even get interviewed. So lots of questions and not very many answers. Maria you said this individual has been in politics for a long time. What was he in politics for . Well, the best i can see hes worked at think tanks, he has a law degree, he was supposedly studying at cambridge. Im not sure what he was studying. Hes worked on numerous president ial campaigns. Thats about all i know maria did he work for National Security for mitt romney . Was he working with mitt romney in National Security . Yeah, i think he worked on the romney campaign, and im not sure, he may have worked on the Mccain Campaign also. But look, this is why somebody like this who clearly knows republicans, he ought to come forward and tell us what he knows. Like i said, maybe hes completely innocent of this, but he could shed a lot of light on what the fbi or the brits or private contractors or fusion gps maria yeah. You know, whoever was doing the investigating before july 31st, weve been looking for that for a really long time, as you know. Maria congressman, youve mentioned a lot of individuals. I want to ask you about that because all of these individuals that youre mentioning are, like, intel aides across the world. One from australia, one from britain, one from italy. I want to know who coordinated all of that and who was the mastermind behind the plan to insert donald trump into the russia meddling story. Were going to take a short break, and then im going to come back and ask you that, what you think, who you think is the mastermind. Follow me on twitter, on instagram as well. Were going to take a short break and have a lot more with congressman devin nunes, secretary mcaleenan and george pop adopt louse coming up. Pop adopt louse coming up. Stay with us. Here i go again on my own goin down the only road ive ever known like a drifter i was born to walk alone . Barb you left me hangin on the high harmony there. If you ride, you get it.

Defenders of home. Maria welcome back. We are back with california congressman devin nunes, ranking republican on the House Intel Committee, among the questions of special Counsel Robert Mueller e. Congressman, we know based on what youve told us, John Radcliffe has told us over the last year and a half that this investigation by the fbi likely started at the end of 2015. We know that at the end of 2015, going into 2016, they were very suspicious informanttype situations going on. And yet in the testimony, you mentioned to mueller that somebody dropped 10,000 in George Papadopoulos lap, but that was during the special counsel which means that was in 2017, they were still trying to entrap people during the special counsels investigation . Well, we dont know the answer to that because mueller wouldnt answer the question. So youre right. So in the last segment i talked about general flynn. Some brits dirtied him up claiming that he had a russian girlfriend, right . So these were former intelligence guys, a story that went public. This is why they were investigating flynn, you know, back in 2015. Then if you move into 2016, someone started setting up these socalled events or symposiums that it just so happened that all of these people got invited to. Now, youre going to have George Papadopoulos on earlier, which this is another track where you had a foreign politician named Alexander Downer who still is unclear because he claims he didnt ask about emails, papadopoulos said he didnt talk about emails, but yet somehow the fbi uses papadopoulos to open the investigation, and then they continued to ask papadopoulos about emails all through the rest of 2016. But downer never said anything about emails. So, you know, this is another thing that mueller couldnt answer this week. So now when you look at what they did in 2017, after the special counsel was set up, you somebody gave papadopoulos 10,000. And it was odd that, you know, just a week before they arrested him at the dulles airport. Now remember, papadopoulos has been cooperating with the investigation. He had went through several interviews in the early parts of 2017. So none of this makes any sense, and and it really looks like the mueller team remember, i call it the mueller dossier. Mueller clearly wasnt involved in this, but this is nothing more, nothing less than a coverup, okay . Why would you not you write a whole report on natalia, you mention her 65 times in the report, okay . Shes a russian. She met with the trump team one time for less than 20 minutes, okay in she met with Glenn Simpson who was running the dirty operations for the Clinton Campaign at least three times, my guesses is multiple times, maybe dozens of times. You put it in a report, but you dont talk about the it. Maria right. Theres so much in that Mueller Report that really just looks like a glossover and a coverup. Maria yeah. Clearly, as we have learned more and more they used George Papadopoulos and also carter page as windows into the Trump Campaign, and with papadopoulos, this whole idea that somebody told him that russia had Hillary Clintons emails, and because he was told that, they tried to play it that he was part of a conspiracy. This is what with i want to know and what i think our viewers want to know. Who is the mastermind of this story . Who ises the mastermind of the plan to insert donald trump into russia meddling, which we know russia has been meddling for decades . Well, i think we can say lets talk about what we can, what we know are facts, what we can say for certain. I think thats helpful. We know the Clinton Campaign, number one, so theyre aware of a lot of this, right . Theyre involved in the creation of thes do area the creation of the dossier, they hire fusion gps and christopher steele. Thats a fact. We know the fbi is involved to some degree. We dont know exactly what they were doing before july 31, 2016. Why . Because they wouldnt answer the questions that we had over the last two years. And, in fact, when we were getting close, we wanted transcripts, there were things that we wanted, those were not beginning to the United States house of representatives under republican control. Do you know why . Because the mueller dossier team wouldnt let it happen. So thats why i say somebody needs to look at these characters that were on muellers team. I think they obstructed justice. They obstructed a congressional investigation. So thats number two. We have, we have the clinton team, we have the fbi. Theres also a third team that we know of, that is this cambridge team, this group of british peoplethat were there, these intelligencerelated folks including the american citizen, stephen schagey, who organized in the event. They were involved in the character assassination of a threestar general, the former head of the the director of intelligence, general michael flynn. Maria right. So those are the three entities that we know, and i think what the doj needs to get to bottom of is when did these all intersect. You dont get that until you start to interview people and, remember, the mueller team never bothered to interview maria real quick, weve got to jump, but is it more likely that the cia would integrate all of these International Sources across the world or the fb initiation c cia or fbi in terms of getting all these intel associates like the downers and mifsuds of the world together . Well, as you know, we have jurisdiction over both fbi and cia and what they do overseas. Maria yeah. We have lots of information of fbi people going overseas and doing things, we dont really have any information from cia. So far theyve really come clean. I would say the only one that has, that has questions to answer is john brennan, because we now know that john brennan briefedded harry reid on the dossier in august of 2016. At the same time, he never briefed me or paul ryan who was the speaker of the house at the time. Maria yeah. Well, we keep peeling back the onion and learning more and more. Congressman, its good to have you on the program, thanks very much. You should be taking a victory lap after all your great work with. Congressman devin nunes. Straight ahead, acting Homeland Security secretary Kevin Mcaleenan is here on the Trump Administration scoring two major victories on the border. Guatemala becomes migrants seeking asylum here in the u. S. And then back to mueller investigation. Investigation. With all that usaa offers why go with anybody else .
