RUSH TRANSCRIPT Which often ░░░░░░░░ when there s actually ░░░░░░░░ charge or an indictment ░░░░░░░░ is filed So katelyn ░░░░░░░░ thank you A lot ░░░░░░░░ dissect with all of ░░░░░░░░ Joining us to do ░░░░░░░░ is former deputy director ░░░░░░░░ the FBI Andrew McCabe ░░░░░░░░ of the threat how ░░░░░░░░ FBI protects America in ░░░░░░░░ age of terror and ░░░░░░░░ Also CNN legal analyzest ░░░░░░░░ eisen What do you ░░░░░░░░ is most significant based ░░░░░░░░ what evan was just ░░░░░░░░ based on what happened ░░░░░░░░ and after June 8th ░░░░░░░░ I m fascinated by ░░░░░░░░ revolution that there was ░░░░░░░░ subpoena served prior to ░░░░░░░░ meeting in June It ░░░░░░░░ a lot of sense ░░░░░░░░ timeline we heard up ░░░░░░░░ this point which I ░░░░░░░░ add we ve only ░░░░░░░░ from Trump s side ░░░░░░░░ the story simply didn ░░░░░░░░ make sense that there ░░░░░░░░ have been this congenial ░░░░░░░░ exchange up until June ░░░░░░░░ all of a sudden ░░░░░░░░ FBI ratcheted things up ░░░░░░░░ a search warrant Now ░░░░░░░░ the revolution of the ░░░░░░░░ we know there s ░░░░░░░░ clear pattern of escalating ░░░░░░░░ by the bureau and ░░░░░░░░ department to resolve this ░░░░░░░░ By resolve it I ░░░░░░░░ recover classified information That ░░░░░░░░ their job They know ░░░░░░░░ national security information information ░░░░░░░░ literally could come down ░░░░░░░░ life and death in ░░░░░░░░ situations is being held ░░░░░░░░ a place where it ░░░░░░░░ unauthorized They have to ░░░░░░░░ that information back What ░░░░░░░░ looks like now is ░░░░░░░░ did take reasonable steps ░░░░░░░░ continued to escalate even ░░░░░░░░ a subpoena before they ░░░░░░░░ had to resort to ░░░░░░░░ search warrant to get ░░░░░░░░ material back As katelyn ░░░░░░░░ reported they took an ░░░░░░░░ to not become a ░░░░░░░░ to not make a ░░░░░░░░ showy optics of them ░░░░░░░░ into Mar a Lago ░░░░░░░░ But Trump was the ░░░░░░░░ who turned it and ░░░░░░░░ it public and tried ░░░░░░░░ take this narrative that ░░░░░░░░ was being victimized here ░░░░░░░░ this was a raid ░░░░░░░░ he was under siege ░░░░░░░░ now know Trump was ░░░░░░░░ on June 8th when ░░░░░░░░ had that subpoena and ░░░░░░░░ took documents on that ░░░░░░░░ yet he didn t ░░░░░░░░ t tweet about that ░░░░░░░░ s right Ana He ░░░░░░░░ t done the single ░░░░░░░░ that could do the ░░░░░░░░ to resolve the allegations ░░░░░░░░ s making His lawyers ░░░░░░░░ they have a copy ░░░░░░░░ the affidavit the attachments ░░░░░░░░ the affidavit Rather the ░░░░░░░░ warrant the attachments and ░░░░░░░░ inventory Trump can release ░░░░░░░░ so we can see ░░░░░░░░ this is about Instead ░░░░░░░░ s making these unfounded ░░░░░░░░ I respect the attorney ░░░░░░░░ s decision not to ░░░░░░░░ out As Andy knows ░░░░░░░░ he served at the ░░░░░░░░ director Comey commented on ░░░░░░░░ Clinton Comey himself said ░░░░░░░░ was sloppy that he ░░░░░░░░ errors in doing that ░░░░░░░░ safer thing is to ░░░░░░░░ the investigation proceed and ░░░░░░░░ on the underlying issues ░░░░░░░░ very serious potential crimes ░░░░░░░░ are at stake here ░░░░░░░░ with the handling of ░░░░░░░░ information Andy do you ░░░░░░░░ the DoJ or phish ░░░░░░░░ one should speak out ░░░░░░░░ try to take control ░░░░░░░░ this narrative that s ░░░░░░░░ out of control Well ░░░░░░░░ agree with norm in ░░░░░░░░ I have to confess ░░░░░░░░ a 21 year FBI ░░░░░░░░ I do feel that ░░░░░░░░ is it would be ░░░░░░░░ and helpful for the ░░░░░░░░ general to come out ░░░░░░░░ speak to these baseless ░░░░░░░░ really dangerous allegations that ░░░░░░░░ been lodged against the ░░░░░░░░ and women who executed ░░░░░░░░ search warrant You don ░░░░░░░░ have to talk about ░░░░░░░░ underlying case to come ░░░░░░░░ and stand up for ░░░░░░░░ integrity of your people ░░░░░░░░ who are simply executing ░░░░░░░░ law as directed by ░░░░░░░░ federal judge So I ░░░░░░░░ think the time has ░░░░░░░░ for Merrick Garland or ░░░░░░░░ Wray to step forward ░░░░░░░░ stand up for what ░░░░░░░░ think about the integrity ░░░░░░░░ the professionalism of their ░░░░░░░░ which even from the ░░░░░░░░ that you mentioned Ana ░░░░░░░░ that the FBI tried ░░░░░░░░ pretty much do everything ░░░░░░░░ could to do this ░░░░░░░░ In fact we wouldn ░░░░░░░░ even know this had ░░░░░░░░ but for the fact ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump decided to ░░░░░░░░ a statement to t ░░░░░░░░ for his own purposes ░░░░░░░░ to advance his political ░░░░░░░░ or fill his political ░░░░░░░░ I don t know ░░░░░░░░ FBI finds themselves in ░░░░░░░░ tough spot now that ░░░░░░░░ to be addressed I ░░░░░░░░ it s important to ░░░░░░░░ for those who may ░░░░░░░░ be aware one of ░░░░░░░░ reasons the DoJ and ░░░░░░░░ typically don t comment ░░░░░░░░ an ongoing investigation is ░░░░░░░░ protect the person who ░░░░░░░░ be implicated in that ░░░░░░░░ especially if it doesn ░░░░░░░░ lead to charges or ░░░░░░░░ kind of indictment so ░░░░░░░░ they don t look ░░░░░░░░ to the public Let ░░░░░░░░ ask you norm if ░░░░░░░░ isn t a public ░░░░░░░░ and you re suggesting ░░░░░░░░ this should be handled ░░░░░░░░ they usually handle it ░░░░░░░░ do you then counter ░░░░░░░░ other side that s ░░░░░░░░ to control the narrative ░░░░░░░░ what took place here ░░░░░░░░ suggestion that the DoJ ░░░░░░░░ been weaponized politically Well ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ for those who are ░░░░░░░░ to speak our political ░░░░░░░░ of both parties indeed ░░░░░░░░ of us what you ░░░░░░░░ I and Andy are ░░░░░░░░ right now to provide ░░░░░░░░ content and the context ░░░░░░░░ is needed here The ░░░░░░░░ general the director of ░░░░░░░░ FBI are closer to ░░░░░░░░ investigation The danger if ░░░░░░░░ speak if they say ░░░░░░░░ other than platitudes is ░░░░░░░░ they may compromise their ░░░░░░░░ They may make things ░░░░░░░░ as I think some ░░░░░░░░ Jim Comey s statements ░░░░░░░░ the Clinton investigation unfortunately ░░░░░░░░ They are closer to ░░░░░░░░ I trust Merrick Garland ░░░░░░░░ judgment I ve known ░░░░░░░░ for over 30 years ░░░░░░░░ think he ll make ░░░░░░░░ right call bearing that ░░░░░░░░ mind In the meantime ░░░░░░░░ s incumbent on the ░░░░░░░░ of us to explain ░░░░░░░░ I think political leadership ░░░░░░░░ explain what is going ░░░░░░░░ here This is a ░░░░░░░░ serious investigation and probable ░░░░░░░░ has been found by ░░░░░░░░ very respected magistrate judge ░░░░░░░░ there in Florida Andy ░░░░░░░░ s go back to ░░░░░░░░ new reporting at the ░░░░░░░░ of the show about ░░░░░░░░ apparent witness at Mar ░░░░░░░░ Lago Do you think ░░░░░░░░ FBI could have gotten ░░░░░░░░ search warrant on a ░░░░░░░░ president s home without ░░░░░░░░ person That s a ░░░░░░░░ hard question Ana It ░░░░░░░░ always hard to go ░░░░░░░░ after the fact and ░░░░░░░░ at an affidavit and ░░░░░░░░ to tease out well ░░░░░░░░ we need this fact ░░░░░░░░ could we have gotten ░░░░░░░░ without it All you ░░░░░░░░ is you got the ░░░░░░░░ with the facts you ░░░░░░░░ to the judge I ░░░░░░░░ they probably knew a ░░░░░░░░ without I don t ░░░░░░░░ what sort of information ░░░░░░░░ got from this witness ░░░░░░░░ they were present in ░░░░░░░░ a Lago They were ░░░░░░░░ shown the basement storage ░░░░░░░░ They had an opportunity ░░░░░░░░ look through some of ░░░░░░░░ boxes and review some ░░░░░░░░ that material and now ░░░░░░░░ re hearing they may ░░░░░░░░ even taken some classified ░░░░░░░░ with them when they ░░░░░░░░ That s a lot ░░░░░░░░ you re simply trying ░░░░░░░░ get a warrant to ░░░░░░░░ recover classified information in ░░░░░░░░ individual space having seen ░░░░░░░░ with your own eyes ░░░░░░░░ an agent who was ░░░░░░░░ the room and saw ░░░░░░░░ at the time that ░░░░░░░░ like it might have ░░░░░░░░ enough to get a ░░░░░░░░ for me It s ░░░░░░░░ to say after the ░░░░░░░░ We don t have ░░░░░░░░ lot of information about ░░░░░░░░ witness but we do ░░░░░░░░ according to our new ░░░░░░░░ that this witness is ░░░░░░░░ who said hey I ░░░░░░░░ there may be classified ░░░░░░░░ still left behind at ░░░░░░░░ a Lago That was ░░░░░░░░ between the June 8th ░░░░░░░░ and the raid on ░░░░░░░░ or the search I ░░░░░░░░ say on Monday Thank ░░░░░░░░ so much Andrew McCabe ░░░░░░░░ norm eisen Appreciate your ░░░░░░░░ on this.
