I think the take away should be at this point in a world for lack of a better word fake news, the take away should be when it cops to the special counsel investigation and the justice department, if information is not coming out of the mouth of rod rosenstein at this point or mr. barr if he s confirmed or if it s not actually in written documents or statements to federal courts, we should all be quite careful about giving it credence because this is a special counsel that will unlike the white house, is absolutely impeccable with respect to the accuracy of the information it gives the american public and i there that is something that we should actually honor and feel good about it in a world where we cannot trust other branches of government and whether what they re telling us is true or not. is there any chance, danny, this report could come from information michael cohen told the southern district of new york? it is very possible. that is one theory. ....
that s ridiculous, don. the white house partisan spin that the white house puts out gives it credence. they re trying to smear the investigators. they can t address the substance of the charges and us is stisuso she scream the nutty conspiracy theories. they try to align people which suggests they don t have a very strong case. and, in fact that, is the case. what is striking to me listening to steve and gjim clapper early very down the middle intelligence professionals, they re voicing the same suspicions that the president of the united states could be compromised by the russians and nothing that donald trump has done makes those suspicions go away. in fact, the more we learn, the more credible those suspicions get. for example, ways struck by the fact that you were playing that clip of donald trump saying, you know, if you re listening, please go attack hillary clinton s e-mails and get the ....
Officially do so tomorrow that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi/doi infiltrated or surveilled the trump campaign for political purposes. and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the obama administration. and he has ordered that the justice department look into this. i think they re trying to figure out how to skin a cat at the justice department, how to, on the one hand, not be subordinate to an order by the president, but on the other hand, make sure they don t erode the independence of the justice department. they ve kicked it to the inspector general. i am concerned with some of the comments of the deputy attorney general suggesting, we ll look into whether there is any legitimate concern about a politically embedded spy. they know that s nonsense and i hate to see them say anything to give it credence. tell me why you feel it s ....
The tip of something. we don t know what is there. let s vieft it a let s let s investigate it and have a full the president called for an investigation into what happened. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein folded that all in and in a statement into the inspector general report and there is another investigation going on. the democratic chair, the democratic ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, adam schiff, he didn t care for that. take a listen to what he had to say about the call for an investigation and rosenstein s response. they know that s nonsense and i hate to see them say anything to give it credence. there is not concern within the white house about this, there is a sense of opportunity. let s exploit any doubt we could create, this is a defense strategy. put the government on trial. what do you think? does schiff have a point or do you disagree. absolutely. the whole point is to raise questions about whether you could trust the fbi and whe ....
Nefarious things happening around every corner in is very concerning. there is not one jot of evidence to this, all right? tucker: right. glenn simpson said this in testimony. he mentioned some random russian names. he could provide no evidence of money transfers, any persons named in the nra who supposedly took it yet, you have newspaper outlets like mcclatchey who continued to run newspaper articles giving treated dense to this. it has platly denied it. anyone involved with this has flatly denied it apparently all you have to do these days is come up with a conspiracy, have house democrats give it credence and then suddenly it s legitimate. tucker: our leaders are out of control. emotionally they are out of control. they are children. it s scary, actually. it s having a big effect. kim, thank you for explaining that to us. i appreciate your sober voice in a middle of a non-sober time. thank you. tucker: dan bongino is a former secret service agent and know as lot about fire ....
