Entities that could be linked to foreign governments. we could require campaigns to do the right thing. we shouldn t have to. but we could do that. but the fact is that the american people will get the final word here. we need to hold him accountable at the polls and everywhere else. in terms of his directive that the fbi direct ser wrong to suggest that campaigns is should contact the fbi if they get an overture like this from a foreign country, would you expect as a member of the intelligence committee and of congress, would you expect the fbi to have to rebut that from the president? in the hearing i participated today in the intelligence committee, the republican witness was asked that question by mike quigley and i followed up on it and the republican said i would expect them to tell the fbi. their own witness said it. only donald trump thinks it s a good idea to keep from your own government the fact that a foreign government may be trying to undermine ourlection election. ag ....
Adversaries watch every word said by the president of the united states, and they analyze it, what does this mean. if you take two things the president recently said, one in his conversation with putin where he said he still thinks this whole russia intervention on our election was a hoax, and if you combine it today with him saying i wouldn t necessarily call the fbi if the russians offered me dirt again, you put two and two together and is the russians know as long as they intervene on trump s behalf, he is too weak to ever call them out, and he may even be grateful for it. so, yes, i think it gives a green light to other nations to once again interfere in our election. . if the president s remarks tonight are to be taken literally and seriously, when he was confronted by george stephanopoulos who said the fbi director says that you should contact the fbi if a foreign government offers to intercede in an election or provides you of something in an election, the ....
the fbi director says that s what should happen. the fbi is wrong. your campaign this time around foreigner, if russia, if china, if someone else offers you information on an opponent, should they accept it or call the fbi? i think maybe you do both. i think you might want to listen. there is nothing wrong with listening. if somebody called from a congress, norway, we have information on your opponent. oh. i think i d want to hear it. you want that kind of interference in our elections? it s not interference. they have information. i think i d take it. if i thought there was something wrong, i d go maybe to the fbi, if i thought there was something wrong. if i thought there was something wrong about getting help from a foreign country with my election, if i thought there was something wrong with it, maybe i d go to the fbi. if i thought there was something wrong about it, but, yeah, i d want to see what any other country was offering. call the fbi? who says you have to ca ....
Evidence on tape of criminal intent, right? that s the criminal intent that mueller said he couldn t quite nail down the last time trump s campaign actually did take help from a foreign country. but now there it is, out loud on tape as he is promising to do it again in the next election. joining us now congressman adam schiff, the chairman of the house intelligence committee. sir, thanks very much for being here. i really appreciate your time. great to be with you. so what is your reaction to this news tonight in which president trump said he wouldn t call the fbi if he was approached by a foreign country with information he could use on his 2020 opponent. he might accept that information. he says fbi director chris wray is wrong if he thinks the correct thing to do there would be to call the fbi. well, like many things with donald trump, at first you re shocked, and then of course you realize, yes, that s exactly him. there is no ethical standard. there is no bar below which he ....
On the show, what a former fbi official told the intelligence committee as you saw today. as the president today tells abc news he would welcome anything he could get from a foreign country to help him in an election. i mean, the back channel secret communications mike flynn had with the russians during the presidential transition is the kind of stuff russia uses to keep adversaries off balance. donald trump fired the fbi director who wouldn t shut down the investigation into flynn and then trump s lawyer seemed worried enough what flynn might tell prosecutors he appeared to dangle a pardon for flynn depending on how flynn was going to talk to prosecutors about the president and now flynn has hired somebody as his new lawyer who makes a living off of demonnizing robert mule earn calling the whole thing a witch hunt. whatever has been going on with mike flynn is not over it appears to still be red hot. watch this space. t appears to still be red hot. tch this space here are even more re ....
