Tucker Grills Matt Miller: You Have No Evidence Russia Affected Election Outcome

RUSH TRANSCRIPT Tucker Good ░░░░░░░░ and welcome to Tucker ░░░░░░░░ Tonight Today the inspector ░░░░░░░░ s office announced it ░░░░░░░░ be conducting an inquiry ░░░░░░░░ the FBI and DoJ ░░░░░░░░ pre election investigation of ░░░░░░░░ Clinton s emails Remember ░░░░░░░░ We are going to ░░░░░░░░ to a former official ░░░░░░░░ what they are doing ░░░░░░░░ why We will also ░░░░░░░░ to Charles krauthammer does ░░░░░░░░ expose the deeper rod ░░░░░░░░ the American press Thanks ░░░░░░░░ coming on Why are ░░░░░░░░ reopening this musty box ░░░░░░░░ don t we know ░░░░░░░░ what happened We know ░░░░░░░░ lot about what happened ░░░░░░░░ we have not seen ░░░░░░░░ is whether his behavior ░░░░░░░░ appropriate There been a ░░░░░░░░ of people like me ░░░░░░░░ argue that he violated ░░░░░░░░ number of Department of ░░░░░░░░ rules first by speaking ░░░░░░░░ about Secretary Clinton and ░░░░░░░░ her conduct when they ░░░░░░░░ t going to be ░░░░░░░░ charges The inspector general ░░░░░░░░ job is to look ░░░░░░░░ that and then pass ░░░░░░░░ on whether or not ░░░░░░░░ he did was appropriate ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ s a crazy point ░░░░░░░░ make in that he ░░░░░░░░ passed judgment on Secretary ░░░░░░░░ s behavior And she ░░░░░░░░ t allowed to respond ░░░░░░░░ think it s okay ░░░░░░░░ say you know what ░░░░░░░░ that But this whole ░░░░░░░░ began as you ll ░░░░░░░░ the only reason it ░░░░░░░░ put in position to ░░░░░░░░ that was because the ░░░░░░░░ general Loretta lynch met ░░░░░░░░ the tarmac She was ░░░░░░░░ in this investigation From ░░░░░░░░ I could tell from ░░░░░░░░ announcement that s not ░░░░░░░░ mentioned Something looking into ░░░░░░░░ can you skip that ░░░░░░░░ question She did sort ░░░░░░░░ recuse herself I think ░░░░░░░░ questions for the attorney ░░░░░░░░ too But Jim Comey ░░░░░░░░ the prime mover in ░░░░░░░░ case And have this ░░░░░░░░ conference He made the ░░░░░░░░ to send that letter ░░░░░░░░ the advice of the ░░░░░░░░ general and other senior ░░░░░░░░ Tucker I think it ░░░░░░░░ The only reason he ░░░░░░░░ to make that decision ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general wasn ░░░░░░░░ making it Because she ░░░░░░░░ that meeting First of ░░░░░░░░ that meeting if you ░░░░░░░░ looking into corruption for ░░░░░░░░ campaign would be the ░░░░░░░░ flag That was an ░░░░░░░░ outrageous initiative Why when ░░░░░░░░ look into that I ░░░░░░░░ t want to think ░░░░░░░░ it is as partisan ░░░░░░░░ I think it is ░░░░░░░░ there is a question ░░░░░░░░ whether the investigation got ░░░░░░░░ right result They expect ░░░░░░░░ general is not going ░░░░░░░░ look at Jim Comey ░░░░░░░░ motivation in the same ░░░░░░░░ you wouldn t look ░░░░░░░░ Loretta lynch s motivations ░░░░░░░░ that meeting with Bill ░░░░░░░░ has and led her ░░░░░░░░ steer the outcome one ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Why There have ░░░░░░░░ no credible allegations Tucker ░░░░░░░░ enough that the attorney ░░░░░░░░ says well I am ░░░░░░░░ off from this investigation ░░░░░░░░ Both at the FBI ░░░░░░░░ the Justice Department that ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t be any ░░░░░░░░ brought that really was ░░░░░░░░ to rest What remains ░░░░░░░░ at least in an ░░░░░░░░ standpoint is whether Jim ░░░░░░░░ acted appropriately Yes the ░░░░░░░░ general kind of recused ░░░░░░░░ But that is a ░░░░░░░░ Jim Comey can violate ░░░░░░░░ the rules Tucker I ░░░░░░░░ t think it is ░░░░░░░░ opinion To discredit Donald ░░░░░░░░ s victory in the ░░░░░░░░ race The point of ░░░░░░░░ whole thing is there ░░░░░░░░ a cloud over it ░░░░░░░░ was unfair That is ░░░░░░░░ point Why is that ░░░░░░░░ point that Americans should ░░░░░░░░ for with their tax ░░░░░░░░ I think there is ░░░░░░░░ cloud over his victory ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ is what the inspector ░░░░░░░░ is looking at I ░░░░░░░░ t think that s ░░░░░░░░ he is doing it ░░░░░░░░ you look at the ░░░░░░░░ announcement today there is ░░░░░░░░ things he s looking ░░░░░░░░ the go to democratic ░░░░░░░░ I think an unfair ░░░░░░░░ about an official who ░░░░░░░░ McCabe is looking into ░░░░░░░░ too Things on both ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Look I m ░░░░░░░░ that you can see ░░░░░░░░ think Trump is potentially ░░░░░░░░ You tweeted He said ░░░░░░░░ I am not sure ░░░░░░░░ it s not okay ░░░░░░░░ question Trump s legitimacy ░░░░░░░░ was elected but it ░░░░░░░░ t fair and square ░░░░░░░░ what sense was it ░░░░░░░░ fair and square and ░░░░░░░░ would you write someone ░░░░░░░░ that as a former ░░░░░░░░ official The nation s ░░░░░░░░ investigated official Jim Comey ░░░░░░░░ days before the election ░░░░░░░░ had an intervention by ░░░░░░░░ government that was seeking ░░░░░░░░ subverts our democracy Tucker ░░░░░░░░ any evidence at all ░░░░░░░░ any evidence at all ░░░░░░░░ that affected the election ░░░░░░░░ will never be able ░░░░░░░░ politically say definitively say ░░░░░░░░ can see a four ░░░░░░░░ job in Clinton s ░░░░░░░░ numbers in the day ░░░░░░░░ the election Tucker I ░░░░░░░░ of assume evidence to ░░░░░░░░ contrary Did Russia anyway ░░░░░░░░ the outcome If you ░░░░░░░░ at the things together ░░░░░░░░ timing of Comey s ░░░░░░░░ the continued stories that ░░░░░░░░ coming out through Wikileaks ░░░░░░░░ and time again in ░░░░░░░░ last 30 days of ░░░░░░░░ election and then you ░░░░░░░░ in in the last ░░░░░░░░ days when all those ░░░░░░░░ coming to the forefront ░░░░░░░░ But you are dodging ░░░░░░░░ question Name one specific ░░░░░░░░ that Russia affected the ░░░░░░░░ of the election and ░░░░░░░░ me one even scintilla ░░░░░░░░ evidence that that actually ░░░░░░░░ MILLER This is a ░░░░░░░░ of whether you assumed ░░░░░░░░ agencies are correct in ░░░░░░░░ assumptions Carlson The intelligence ░░░░░░░░ it was Russia who ░░░░░░░░ this You re saying ░░░░░░░░ had the desired outcome ░░░░░░░░ affectingthe election You have ░░░░░░░░ evidence that that is ░░░░░░░░ You have to assume ░░░░░░░░ the intelligence agencies are ░░░░░░░░ If you assume that ░░░░░░░░ you have to look ░░░░░░░░ what happened at the ░░░░░░░░ of the election We ░░░░░░░░ trumpet repeatedly talking about ░░░░░░░░ out on the campaign ░░░░░░░░ It wasn t so ░░░░░░░░ why was it talked ░░░░░░░░ all the time He ░░░░░░░░ t have been talking ░░░░░░░░ voters about all the ░░░░░░░░ Of course you can ░░░░░░░░ look and say there ░░░░░░░░ a million things Tucker ░░░░░░░░ you have no evidence ░░░░░░░░ all Look at the ░░░░░░░░ of Clinton s drops ░░░░░░░░ the polls and the ░░░░░░░░ 11 days I m ░░░░░░░░ saying Russia by itself ░░░░░░░░ m saying Russia combined ░░░░░░░░ Tucker This is what ░░░░░░░░ frustrating here There is ░░░░░░░░ evidence that has had ░░░░░░░░ effect on the election ░░░░░░░░ are saying it s ░░░░░░░░ free and fair which ░░░░░░░░ a very big claim ░░░░░░░░ someone who is widely ░░░░░░░░ like you a public ░░░░░░░░ Mrs Clinton didn t ░░░░░░░░ an economic message Huge ░░░░░░░░ of the country the ░░░░░░░░ of the country ignored ░░░░░░░░ appeals Would be more ░░░░░░░░ to say let s ░░░░░░░░ that economic message and ░░░░░░░░ to the middle class ░░░░░░░░ think it s possible ░░░░░░░░ believe two things at ░░░░░░░░ I think you can ░░░░░░░░ to mistakes that the ░░░░░░░░ campaign made All of ░░░░░░░░ can be true and ░░░░░░░░ could still be headed ░░░░░░░░ win I saw their ░░░░░░░░ spokes person person Tucker ░░░░░░░░ m not a shrink ░░░░░░░░ I hate to make ░░░░░░░░ diagnosis of you and ░░░░░░░░ party I see people ░░░░░░░░ are enraged deep denial ░░░░░░░░ you see that No ░░░░░░░░ Laughs They talk about ░░░░░░░░ message it wasn t ░░░░░░░░ enough The spokesperson was ░░░░░░░░ about today saying that ░░░░░░░░ just said it one ░░░░░░░░ ago That doesn t ░░░░░░░░ Tucker That doesn t ░░░░░░░░ you can say it ░░░░░░░░ not free and fair ░░░░░░░░ made mistakes and they ░░░░░░░░ were headed less leave ░░░░░░░░ aside for one second ░░░░░░░░ fact that we are ░░░░░░░░ whether Comey had an ░░░░░░░░ or not he should ░░░░░░░░ be having this conversation ░░░░░░░░ Today we have a ░░░░░░░░ investigation into this whose ░░░░░░░░ purpose is to make ░░░░░░░░ feel like you know ░░░░░░░░ it is not our ░░░░░░░░ Let me ask you ░░░░░░░░ more question Do you ░░░░░░░░ Jim Comey acted and ░░░░░░░░ spoke for the Justice ░░░░░░░░ act as a way ░░░░░░░░ was partisan I think ░░░░░░░░ believed so much in ░░░░░░░░ own integrity it crosses ░░░░░░░░ into self righteousness and ░░░░░░░░ to mistakes That s ░░░░░░░░ the only one in ░░░░░░░░ C Tucker That s ░░░░░░░░ For more of the ░░░░░░░░ DoJ election we are ░░░░░░░░ by Fox News chief ░░░░░░░░ correspondence Catherine Herridge They ░░░░░░░░ the decision to look ░░░░░░░░ a broad range of ░░░░░░░░ prior to the election ░░░░░░░░ justice as well as ░░░░░░░░ The release makes clear ░░░░░░░░ they are looking very ░░░░░░░░ at FBI Director Comey ░░░░░░░░ position to send a ░░░░░░░░ to Congress 11 days ░░░░░░░░ the election That he ░░░░░░░░ reopening the Clinton email ░░░░░░░░ and also his public ░░░░░░░░ in July that there ░░░░░░░░ evidence that laws may ░░░░░░░░ been broken but certainly ░░░░░░░░ enough to pursue a ░░░░░░░░ of Hillary Clinton The ░░░░░░░░ that is important is ░░░░░░░░ there is an understanding ░░░░░░░░ the FBI Justice Department ░░░░░░░░ you don t take ░░░░░░░░ action right before an ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Interesting This investigation ░░░░░░░░ go in to the ░░░░░░░░ Administration It s kind ░░░░░░░░ like laying landmines for ░░░░░░░░ incoming it administration This ░░░░░░░░ the email case is ░░░░░░░░ second wind and it ░░░░░░░░ probably take several months ░░░░░░░░ complete What really strikes ░░░░░░░░ Tucker is that in ░░░░░░░░ press release today there ░░░░░░░░ absolutely no mention of ░░░░░░░░ meeting between Loretta lynch ░░░░░░░░ Bill Clinton That came ░░░░░░░░ a few days before ░░░░░░░░ Clinton interviewed into July ░░░░░░░░ s important because for ░░░░░░░░ context that was the ░░░░░░░░ that really set into ░░░░░░░░ a series of events ░░░░░░░░ sort of boxed the ░░░░░░░░ director in After that ░░░░░░░░ Loretta lynch said you ░░░░░░░░ what I am just ░░░░░░░░ to accept the FBI ░░░░░░░░ s recommendation ultimately recusing ░░░░░░░░ but not fully recusing ░░░░░░░░ She later said it ░░░░░░░░ a lot of very ░░░░░░░░ judgment in this particular ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Can they expect ░░░░░░░░ general initiate one of ░░░░░░░░ reports At will He ░░░░░░░░ has a lot of ░░░░░░░░ and they operate very ░░░░░░░░ and at the from ░░░░░░░░ Senate about the emails ░░░░░░░░ these issues come up ░░░░░░░░ letters really deal with ░░░░░░░░ across the political divide ░░░░░░░░ s not just Republicans ░░░░░░░░ not cheer or fear ░░░░░░░░ investigation but also Democrats ░░░░░░░░ a long time FBI ░░░░░░░░ at night once the ░░░░░░░░ general gets their foot ░░░░░░░░ the door nothing is ░░░░░░░░ off the table It ░░░░░░░░ really open reopen how ░░░░░░░░ was handled by Hillary ░░░░░░░░ We don t want ░░░░░░░░ in the door Tucker ░░░░░░░░ if we are president ░░░░░░░░ thanks a lot It ░░░░░░░░ not an electoral setback ░░░░░░░░ s been a psychological ░░░░░░░░ and an existential threat ░░░░░░░░ the intercept the American ░░░░░░░░ state has an effect ░░░░░░░░ to war with Donald ░░░░░░░░ We are joined tonight ░░░░░░░░ Rio de Janeiro Thank ░░░░░░░░ for joining us I ░░░░░░░░ want to restate for ░░░░░░░░ viewers who may not ░░░░░░░░ you you are not ░░░░░░░░ Trump supporter you say ░░░░░░░░ pretty explicit yearly You ░░░░░░░░ this dossier leak into ░░░░░░░░ American media and your ░░░░░░░░ response was this comes ░░░░░░░░ the American intelligence community ░░░░░░░░ here s why I ░░░░░░░░ to put this on ░░░░░░░░ screen screen Much of ░░░░░░░░ reflexively reveres serves and ░░░░░░░░ with hidden and intelligence ░░░░░░░░ The Democrats seemingly divorced ░░░░░░░░ and further from reason ░░░░░░░░ each passing day Are ░░░░░░░░ eager to raise any ░░░░░░░░ Boy that is quite ░░░░░░░░ indictment indictment I think ░░░░░░░░ is warranted You see ░░░░░░░░ at this point even ░░░░░░░░ more or less openly ░░░░░░░░ for and cheering for ░░░░░░░░ intervention O CIA the ░░░░░░░░ community the overall deep ░░░░░░░░ hoping that because they ░░░░░░░░ to do so that ░░░░░░░░ unelected faction in Washington ░░░░░░░░ undermine and subvert his ░░░░░░░░ before he has even ░░░░░░░░ inaugurated I think what ░░░░░░░░ re seeing is actually ░░░░░░░░ dangerous There really is ░░░░░░░░ s at this point ░░░░░░░░ warfare against this unelected ░░░░░░░░ very powerful faction that ░░░░░░░░ in Washington and sees ░░░░░░░░ go on the one ░░░░░░░░ and the American democracy ░░░░░░░░ is supposed to be ░░░░░░░░ chief executive There is ░░░░░░░░ extreme conflict and a ░░░░░░░░ of subversion taking place ░░░░░░░░ So you write correctly ░░░░░░░░ think the CIA in ░░░░░░░░ was openly against Trump ░░░░░░░░ back a full year ░░░░░░░░ is that Why do ░░░░░░░░ oppose Trump I think ░░░░░░░░ a lot of reasons ░░░░░░░░ think the number one ░░░░░░░░ policy priority of the ░░░░░░░░ over the last four ░░░░░░░░ five years has been ░░░░░░░░ proxy war they are ░░░░░░░░ in Syria to remove ░░░░░░░░ Hillary Clinton was quite ░░░░░░░░ of Obama for constraining ░░░░░░░░ To impose a no ░░░░░░░░ zone Trump took the ░░░░░░░░ opposite position He said ░░░░░░░░ have no business in ░░░░░░░░ we ought to let ░░░░░░░░ and Assad to go ░░░░░░░░ in killing ISIS and ░░░░░░░░ else they want to ░░░░░░░░ He was a threat ░░░░░░░░ the CIA s priority ░░░░░░░░ wanted to much more ░░░░░░░░ approach Where s Trump ░░░░░░░░ better relations I think ░░░░░░░░ viewed Trump as a ░░░░░░░░ to their institutional ability ░░░░░░░░ get there agenda imposed ░░░░░░░░ Washington Tucker What is ░░░░░░░░ about this is you ░░░░░░░░ out which I would ░░░░░░░░ recommend to our viewers ░░░░░░░░ this You recommend some ░░░░░░░░ the ways to oppose ░░░░░░░░ But this way is ░░░░░░░░ illegitimate way to oppose ░░░░░░░░ president and in fact ░░░░░░░░ threat to our system ░░░░░░░░ you can explain what ░░░░░░░░ meant Sure I mean ░░░░░░░░ you go back six ░░░░░░░░ when Dwight Eisenhower no ░░░░░░░░ of heat a five ░░░░░░░░ general two term Republican ░░░░░░░░ He had one chance ░░░░░░░░ tell the American people ░░░░░░░░ he was riding off ░░░░░░░░ the sunset and he ░░░░░░░░ the greatest danger we ░░░░░░░░ is democracy is this ░░░░░░░░ of military and industrial ░░░░░░░░ unelected but permanently exhorting ░░░░░░░░ There becoming more powerful ░░░░░░░░ all of us a ░░░░░░░░ it does matter what ░░░░░░░░ we as American citizens ░░░░░░░░ I think actually in ░░░░░░░░ election what you saw ░░░░░░░░ this kind of framework ░░░░░░░░ there was a proxy ░░░░░░░░ Yet factions within the ░░░░░░░░ very supportive of Donald ░░░░░░░░ undermining Hillary Clinton s ░░░░░░░░ and then you had ░░░░░░░░ CIA itself very strongly ░░░░░░░░ Hillary Clinton I think ░░░░░░░░ is quite dangerous if ░░░░░░░░ start thinking about submitting ░░░░░░░░ rule by these unelected ░░░░░░░░ deep straight overlords I ░░░░░░░░ it s the antithesis ░░░░░░░░ democracy Tucker Is also ░░░░░░░░ story of the rest ░░░░░░░░ the world In other ░░░░░░░░ this is the story ░░░░░░░░ the Middle East The ░░░░░░░░ power resides in the ░░░░░░░░ and intelligence services Obviously ░░░░░░░░ United States part of ░░░░░░░░ foreign policy for many ░░░░░░░░ has been and unelected ░░░░░░░░ is to empower the ░░░░░░░░ empower the intelligence agency ░░░░░░░░ that country to remove ░░░░░░░░ government impose their own ░░░░░░░░ That is something Americans ░░░░░░░░ to be extremely worried ░░░░░░░░ I m worried because ░░░░░░░░ do think there are ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump is going ░░░░░░░░ do that are quite ░░░░░░░░ I want to see ░░░░░░░░ focus on those in ░░░░░░░░ recent away and not ░░░░░░░░ and root for the ░░░░░░░░ to use their dirty ░░░░░░░░ to undermine the president ░░░░░░░░ just got elected Tucker ░░░░░░░░ fair point Why is ░░░░░░░░ that the press which ░░░░░░░░ would think after always ░░░░░░░░ in the last couple ░░░░░░░░ is so willing and ░░░░░░░░ to believe whatever they ░░░░░░░░ fed by anonymous intelligence ░░░░░░░░ customer I know it ░░░░░░░░ unorthodox belief organs like ░░░░░░░░ New York Times or ░░░░░░░░ and a lot of ░░░░░░░░ they may be But ░░░░░░░░ it comes to national ░░░░░░░░ issues especially in the ░░░░░░░░ 9 11 era you ░░░░░░░░ this incredibly close relationship ░░░░░░░░ the media and the ░░░░░░░░ agencies They had to ░░░░░░░░ to laundering anonymous claims ░░░░░░░░ helped the Saudi Iraq ░░░░░░░░ there is this fear ░░░░░░░░ fear challenging or questioning ░░░░░░░░ who have metals on ░░░░░░░░ chest People who work ░░░░░░░░ the CIA for looking ░░░░░░░░ They often get a ░░░░░░░░ of benefits when they ░░░░░░░░ their agenda They get ░░░░░░░░ secrets access I think ░░░░░░░░ lot of that is ░░░░░░░░ you are seeing on ░░░░░░░░ of the fact that ░░░░░░░░ media has been aligned ░░░░░░░░ Trump and will side ░░░░░░░░ anybody who wants to ░░░░░░░░ him Including the CIA ░░░░░░░░ When they empower the ░░░░░░░░ to control our democracy ░░░░░░░░ s dangerous I appreciate ░░░░░░░░ being here tonight
