welcome back we are back with this exclusive interview with House
Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunez and mr. chairman a moment ago
before we went to break you said it was the mother of all leaks conducted by the
Department of Justice what were you referring to well there were two
mainstream media outlets on a Friday night that had lots and lots and lots of
details if any of those details are correct so remember we don't have any
documents we can't confirm whether there's an informant or not informant
because we've never been told or nor given documents and in fact we've never
even asked for the name of any informants or any sources whatsoever so
if any of that is true if they ran a spy ring or an informant
ring and they were paying people within the Trump campaign if any of that is
true that is an absolute redline there is not an honest person in this country
who can believe that taxpayer dollars going to to fund this ring and and
operate like this like what settings in the New York Times I think it would have
quite a bit you know quite a bit of detail on it if any of that is true this
is a red line in this country you can't do this to political campaigns but I
mean this was done I mean according to them this was done in in the spring
before the counterintelligence investigation was even open if that's
true we need to know about it so well the New York Times reports and and the
Washington Post that somebody was paid somebody was paid and they were
interacting with the Trump campaign you want to call it spying fine but somebody
was paid isn't that right that's what the New York Times says if they paid
someone it's an absolute redline and this is over with I mean I don't know
how to say this I mean there is no possible way that that we should be
allowing even if it was legal we should never allow this in the Senate country
Congress should not allow for anything like this to ever occur again to any
political campaign if it in fact happened which is why I'll say again all
they got to do is provide us the documentation if they didn't do anything
like that provide us a document so we can verify it well when you say this is
over what do you mean this is over I mean we
we have criminal referrals from the inspector general it's over when I say
it's over it meaning that that this whole thing is a scam I mean that
there's real FISA abuse here if there is real I mean they're real FISA B's I just
can't imagine if what's if it what's in that these stories is true how can any
Americans stand for this and look we're we're a separate branch of government
we've set up these capabilities we have a responsibility to oversee these
capabilities and and I'll tell you there is not an honest person in this country
that thinks it's okay if sources informants whatever you want to call
them go around and start passing out money all over the globe to do what to
to secretly put yourself into a presidential campaign that's not
acceptable in this country the line does this go we know that Loretta Lynch and
and Sally Yates were briefed on the Trump campaign in 2016 in the spring of
2016 we know from Peter Strahm texts that he said and I quote President Obama
wants to know everything we're doing about on this and we know that Peter
struck told Lisa page we need an insurance policy should Donald Trump win
the presidency so who was calling the shots here well look there's a lot of
abuse here and so they they were briefed in the spring so we know that the FBI
briefed the highest levels of the Obama administration in the spring of 2016
shortly after that you have mr. steel that gets going he's being paid by the
Clinton campaign secretly he's also meeting with the FBI
he's digging up what ends up being totally phony dirt by the way who he
says he claims got it from Russians and so I don't know how clearly I can
possibly say this if anybody's looking for collusion all they have to do
between the Russians and a political party all they have to do is figure out
if in fact Christopher Steele talked to Russians because there you have your
collusion they took information from Russians and they used it against the
president President Trump and then they start it and then the Democrats pay for
it all yeah and and this is so so I don't even know what they're
investigating at this so what what what and Robert Mull will be looking at
that and then I mean Robert Muller's investigation has turned one it is one
year old this last week would he have looked at at collusion
between Hillary Clinton and the Russians then or is that not his man I doubt it
because I mean they've never even looked into there's all this talk about leak
about leaks what about the leak of general Flynn phone call with the
Russian ambassador what about that why don't we why don't we start there with
leaks yeah well that we know is a felony well
real quick the IG report is forthcoming what are you expecting from that IG
report will justice be served you know I don't have any idea this is the Clinton
email investigation I have not met with mr. Horowitz I don't even know exactly
what he's looking at other than what I've read in the press but I can tell
you the cast of characters that are involved in that investigation are the
same cast of characters that we are investigating at the House Intelligence
Committee as we look into FISA abuse and counterintelligence operation you're
also investigating the State Department anything new there yeah so well that's
the interesting thing about the State Department is is we're trying to figure
out how did this information make it over from London to the FBI we've never
been able to put that together because we were told many times and this was all
over you know it was leaked oh these were trusted 5i sources and you know
intelligence products well as you know we never found any intelligence products
as it relates to our five eyes partners sending us information so how did it get
through well we think the State Department because we have people
talking about this former State Department officials talking about this
so if that indeed happened now we have something that's totally irregular so
now you're taking information from the State Department you're opening up a
counterintelligence investigation into a political campaign that is to say the
least it's irregular and and we should point
out that on this program you've said in the past that Sidney Blumenthal and mr.
Sher Cody Sher were actually funneling information to the State Department
right you kind of have a you you kind of have all kinds of people right you've
got Christopher still working for the Democrats in the Hillary Clinton
campaign you've got Blumenthal and others who are tied and fellated with
the Clinton operation and then on the other side you have the f
yeah they're all about at the same time running investigations into Carter page
hmm man it's very rare it's it's very odd you make a lot of good points mr.
chairman real quick before you go you are also investigating China this is an
important storyline for us this morning as the president has come to some kind
of an agreement where the Chinese will buy more goods what my concern is is is
he going to take the national security part of this off the table the Chinese
do not want to deal with this 301 part of the Trade Act where the US can stop
China from from certain practices because of national security issues what
are you investigating China over so we have a really large investigation going
into and study I guess I should say into what is what our China strategic goals
globally so this week we had our first hearing we we had great witnesses that
people want to go to it they can they can review our testimony that was given
between before the house it was all made public right talking about military
strategy that the Chinese have all over the globe it's very very interesting and
it's an important topic so like always the presidents got to take China on they
have to be dealt with I commend them for that but we have to be careful that we
at the same time don't do anything to hurt the global economy mr. chairman
could you see this morning thanks very much thank you well the Justice
Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is preparing to release his
highly anticipated report on the FBI and the DOJ is handling of the investigation
into Hillary Clinton's emails that report expected soon it comes as
President Trump is calling for the department to allow Congress access to
documents linked to an FBI informant who spoke to some of his advisers during the
2016 presidential campaign joining me right now is House Intelligence
Committee Chairman Devin Nunez mr. chairman good to see you thanks so much
for joining us there's a lot of conversation about this informant on a
lot of other channels and in all sorts of newspapers what can you tell us in
terms of what went on well I can tell you that nobody was ever interested in
an informant we asked for specific documents that we still have not
received from the Department of Justice so they continue to leak out things
about this informant and we don't know if there's one informant or
or informants because there's so much out there now it's really getting tough
to follow and all we're asking for is give us the documentation that you used
to start this investigation and what you've been investigating is what
exactly launched an investigation into so-called collusion between Donald Trump
and the Russians is that right yeah so don't so remember we we discovered that
the dossier was used so this is the dirt that they dug up the Hillary Clinton
campaign and the Democrats used and then it got to the FBI and the FBI used it in
a FISA so we're trying to get to the bottom of you know what else was used in
that FISA because you have many people within the Department of Justice who are
claiming that we're wrong so if we're wrong show us the information well Jim
Comey it was interviewed by our own bret baier recently you know that and during
that interview Jim Comey said that there was more than just the dossier let's
roll that clip listen to this mr. Chairman I called the dossier unverified
salacious why did you use that to the FISA Court to ask for surveillance for
Carter page not only use it but you led with it a bulk of that Pfizer
application deals with that dossier why yeah that's not my recollection Bret and
I don't know that the FISA application has been released my recollection was it
was part of a broader mosaic of facts that were laid before the FISA judge to
obtain a FISA warrant broader mosaic of facts mr. chairman
yeah we're looking for the pieces to mr. Comey and the FBI's mosaic so you know
they've continued to say that this didn't happen even though we've had
career prosecutors going evaluate this we released a memo that we made public
for all of Americans to see that they had used this dirt that was bought and
paid for not verified before a FISA Court and then they continued to claim
no no no don't look here there's no FISA abuse at all and they're in total denial
so we have a right to get the information if if James Comey and many
others in current and people that are currently at the Department of Justice
today continued to say there's nothing to see here well if there's nothing to
see here show us the documents that we're asking
for the they refused to do it and how many documents have you gotten so far
from the 1.2 million documents that you've requested
well that's actually a different request related to the Clinton email
investigation okay we have been very specific we think there's only a handful
of documents left that we'd like to see but we never get the full story
the Department of Justice told Fox News they've invited you to the DOJ and you
haven't responded or you do you are you aware of this invitation to go to the
DOJ yeah so they continue to leak so so they we had a productive what I thought
was a productive meeting and then after that meeting they've done nothing but
leak and leak and leak now we don't know exactly who it is over the Department of
Justice or FBI I'm not pinning any blame on people but we're not going to go to
another meeting where we don't get documents and then the meeting leaks out
and you know they were trying and this is this should make people very
suspicious they were trying to get mr. Gowdy and I to go on Friday to the
Department of Justice supposedly another briefing we said look unless we're gonna
get documents we found out Thursday night they were not going to provide
documents so therefore we're not going to go now if you look what happened on
Friday night probably the mother of all leaks of all time - two major newspapers
that came out late Friday night yeah that's know if had mr. Gowdy and I went
to that meeting you can bet they would have tried to pin
that on us that's what I want to ask you about
you
