vladimir putin s plans and intentions. in the spring of 2016 and of course you know what they did to me, the press corps in this town and the, democrats. tucker: you were the rotten rotten i was the secret russian spy. tucker: we are communicating i think in russian when we would meet secretly in the park. congressman, great to see you, thank you. former fbi deputy director of counterterrorism joins us tonight. thanks so much for coming on. tonight. so when you hear former intel officials threatened elected leaders with punishment for disobeying bureaucrats, what s your reaction to that? j well, it s just sickening to watch that and i want to make sure i say right away that i m not part of any brotherhood with philip mod and i can pretty much tell you neither is anyone i ve ever met up to with and mostly the guys there today and ladies, i doubt they would be anything but appalled at what he said last night but you have to put it in perspective and look at
employee. look so many from intelligence world, is now a contributor at cnn. last night, he sent an on-air warning to the president and his lawyer. back off or prepare to get hurt. i spend a lot of time in government. there are state department officials who will testify, intel guys, department of defense people. all of us are sort of a brotherhood and sisterhood. rudy giuliani parachutes in from mars. at the people whoe will testify are going to look at him, including state department officials, and say i don t have to protect that guy. he didn t operate by the rules. he didn t do what you re supposed to do in government. i suspect he s worried about what the congress wills do. if i were him, i would be worried about whether people in government stick a ship in his back, he s in trouble. tucker: so it s a brotherhood, says phil mott of the cia, a brother that will stab you to death if you disobey. what phil mott is describing is not a conventional government agency. it s nothing
pretty much the same moment, senator chuck schumer of new york was arriving at msnbc s midtown manhattan studios. he went to the set and anchor of the show hef was on that night, rachel maddow, pulled up trumps tweet on a screen. live on tv and asked chuck schumer to comment on that week. schumer hadn t seen that week before, he couldn t have known it wasor coming. for one of the most calculating politicians in washington, it was a rare unscripted moment. and so for the first time in a long time, chuck schumer just went with the unvarnished truth. watch what he said. let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from sunday of getting back at you. so even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he s being really dumb to do this. tucker: so he went on to say he didn t know exactly what the spy agencies would do to donald trump as punishment for being dumb enough to criticize them in public, but, he warned,
the intel world, meanwhile, has become increasingly defined. just yesterday a former cia director john brennan expressed outrage that anyone would dare impose oversight on the intelligence agencies to secretly oversee our lives. i m supposedly going to be interviewed by mr. durham as part of this noninvestigation. i remember william barr when he was testifying in front ofia congress, he said he didn t understand the predication of the counterintelligence investigation that was launched into russia s interference in the 2016st election. i don t understand the predication of this world wide effort try ton uncover dirt, either real or imagined, that would discredit that investigation in 2016 into russian interference. tucker: john brennan is a naked partisan and he s a liar. he s acted in ways that would have shocked and horrified previous cia directors, and that s saying a lot. john brennan is not ashamed, far from it, is proud, and so are his many acolytes in washington. philmont is
opportunities behind closed doors and he didn t tell us. tucker:uc so this is not one among many stories, this is the basis for the impeachment of the president of united states. it s not a small thing, it s the opposite of that. how could any of us have confidence that this isn t just a pure partisan invention? it is a partisan adventure and it is not a real impeachment the way that impeachment process has worked the other times it s been used. i just came from the capital and we had nine hours of ambassador if you listen to the mainstream media and the democrats, this was going to be the guy that was going to give up all the goods on rudy giuliani because this was the special envoy to ukraine on behalf of the trump administration. of course they went on and on and on.rs why do they keep going on and on? because they weren t getting wanted.y i came in there at the end. i felt horrible for the man. he s been a public servant. he is getting married in a few feks and he just wants
