These are pretty important questions. They showcase the different standard between how we treat heads of corporations versus heads of government agencies. They should be held to similar standards but government gets a free pass, and 2001, there was a ceo of a very big energy company, a company youll recall called enron, enron filed for one of the biggest bankruptcies in history thanks to accounting sham. The ceo who wiggled his way out of trouble by saying he was unaware of fraudulent activity of his company. His name was jeffrey, and 2006 he was sentenced to 24 years in federal prison because his subordinates falsified accounting records. His excuse, he was not aware, watch. I did not believe the company was in financial peril and i have no knowledge of any wrongdoing of the employee. Does that sound familiar . I was wrong, i was overconfident in the procedures that the fbi and justice had built over 20 years. I thought they were robust enough, its incredibly hard to get a fisa and real sloppiness. 17 things that shouldve been an application or discussed and characterized differently. Trish you see on wall street, there is a rule it is designed to prevent ceos from allowing their under leagues to run rogue operations, ceos cannot hide behind the system or pretend they did not know what was going on when there were amazing counting errors, because the head of the company it is their responsibility to know what is going on. They are now forced to sign off on all quarterly and annual reports. I wanted to see this. Somebody elses signature. James comey signature, he signed off on the fisa application. Get a good look at that. That is james comeys name in james comey signature. So why did james comey as head of the fbi know what the heck was going on in his own organization and why would anyone allow him to use that as an excuse. It is a convenient excuse after the fact that is played dumb. But given that plain dumb on wall street is not allowed, why is it being allowed inside the butt way. Bottom line what this tells you our government is willing to protect investors more than its willing to protect average citizens. After all, shouldnt the head of the fbi be held to the exact same standard of the head of any other organization including publicly traded ones . When this is all said and done, once we get into impeachment trial in the senate i suspect americans will have a tough time letting james comey off the hook. The fbi should be there to protect us not to infringe on our rights as citizens and pretend they did not know any better. Meanwhile, the fisa court itself coming out with a rare Public Statement slamming the fbi for its handling of the application to spy on Trump Campaign aide, carter page. Joining me now former u. S. Attorney skye lewis. Its good to see you. Im think about this as i look at the signature, he signs off on the fisa werent in ceos tell me the tickets fiercely because they have to sign off on earnings and sign off on annual reports and they are held liable and held accountable but no such thing in government. Does that need to change if we want to ensure that we have a fair process in the fisa court . It is fascinating because i represent a lot of the corporations you are talking about, a lot of the Corporate Executives youre talking about and they really are, the weight of the federal government comes down on them in terms of investigation, grand jury, otherwise document review and i cannot tell you how many interviews i have been in where they put down the Quarterly Report or the annual report and say in an accusatory way, isnt that your signature, arent you responsible, dont you have responsibility here and of course the ceo is relying on his entire organization to make sugar doing things right. The ceo will be held liable as we saw in the case with jeffrey and theres no equivalent in big government. I want to share with you a clip of an interview i was on david asman choker at 5 00 p. M. , bulls bears talking to judge napolitano about this problem, here was his reaction. James comey and fbi agent who tricked the fisa court have no personal liability for what they did. If they did have personal liability like jeff did because he went to jail, there might be a different attitude about what they tell the fisa court. In other words, you dont go in and make these obvious errors, 17 sloppy errors and omissions and you dont go in with their own bias, you start to think twice about it if you actually held to some accountability. In this case, james comey is completely off the hook, does that need to change . It is very interesting because again as a prosecutor had to defend a lot of the same conduct walking into court and look no disrespect to the fisa court, but to issue an order staying there needs to be reform and we want to know about it, let me tell you in miami, i would be hauled into a Federal District court, i would be facing sanctions, referrals to the office of professional responsibility, i would be facing referrals to my bar, the florida bar to see whether or not i could still practice as a lawyer. And the last thing is, if they thought for a second that if the court or the government investigators thought for a second that i was intentionally misleading or omitting information, they would team me up in a minute. Trish youd be in deep trouble but james comey gets off scott free. Its unfortunately, im not advocating in any way, i know jim, im not advocating his prosecution but they are clearly a double standard. Im not asking you to advocate for his prosecution, im asking you to think about every american in this country that could potentially have the rights violated just like carter page and it works for both sides. Just because they did it to conservative, republican does not mean it could not happen to a democrat in the future. If you want to think about our rights as americans that is what is getting violated. You make a great point. You know this but let me tell the audience, the fisa court in the application process, unbelievably rigorous. Its not just theres a supervisor who looks at it, everything looks good, check, lets go to the judge, its reviewed by the agent, the agent supervisors, it is supposed to be reviewed by the lawyers at the department of justice, it was not done here. Which were with found was a huge problem and then the actual deputy aide supervisor of the fbi, the Deputy Director or the director himself has to sign off as you indicated. Trish is ineffectively criminal behavior to not have taken any accountability to allow that to happen under his watch . I will answer it like this, it is certainly without question more than i think the word that was you slopping a spring certainly more than sloppiness. Trish i think it is a pretty criminal thing to do. I really do and the idea that a ceo has to sign his or her name and james comey does the same thing and can walk away and say i did not know. I have a problem without. He is supposed to be the one protecting us, our fbi is supposed to be protecting us. I know you quite dont want to go there yet but will see what comes out as a whole thing unfold. So good to see you. Nancy pelosi loves to pray for President Trump. I pray for the president of the united states. I pray for the future. I prefer the president all the time. Trish is seems like she should be praying for her own district as well. Because public defecation has become a huge problem that San Francisco residents are posting pictures of a man doing his business and a local Grocery Store. We have dirty details and also outrage over netflix film that has jesus as a gay man in Martin Luther king jr. , he is here to call netflix out on this one. But first, an interview on cnn far left democrat Maxine Waters is saying she does not need the facts,. I believe, i dont have the facts to prove it, trump, i believe in agreed that he agreed if he got elected he would not lift the sanctions, he would like to do it but is not been able to do it but when they talk about we are making things up. Trish shes the one who said she did not have the facts. Louis says healing artifacts for democrat and he is reacting right after this. Everything your trip needs for everyone you love. Expedia.

I could say a hoax the whole impeachment thing is a hoax and we look forward to getting on to the senate, were not entitled to lawyers, were not entitled to witnesses, were not entitled anything in the house, its a total sham. Trish the president blasting democrats on the evil of his expected impeachment hours ago he sent a letter to house leader nancy pelosi accusing her of declaring open war on american democracy. Meanwhile trump readies his party for whatever comes next. I have never seen any Republican Party so united. I believe the senate is equally united as well and i watch Mitch Mcconnell this morning and watched numerous people last night, as senators and i think were equally united. They know its a hoax and a witchhunt. Trish if they know all that, what does it mean for next step, should Mitch Mcconnell be taking this to trial in the senate . Joining me now texas republican congressman and House Judiciary Committee member. Good to see you. Thank you for having me on. Trish i have to say, i actually would like to see something fair, that was a circus, that was a charade what we saw in congress, maybe theres a shot of a real trial with furnace in the senate, what should happen. You would be a good judge, thats exactly what i think. I know if i were in the senate, i would be thinking this is a sham and just like the president said, there was no fairness in the house, no due process, no rights at all afforded to the accused the president. Its a sham. So lets bring it up and dismiss it, but the trouble is, people have not heard from back witnesses and we know from polls theres 40 or so that think the president should be impeached and im afraid that the senate picks it up and has a 51 vote to dismiss it and yes motion to dismiss could be in order that there will be the same 40 45 that will say the republicans are covering up for the president. But if we bring witnesses in it might clear the rules of the senators that agreed to that we are not going to have a bunch of hearsay evidence just like with treason you have time to direct evidence witnesses and this is serious enough that will be required and you dont bring people like alexander to lupa. Trish just remind people he was working as a liaison between the Ukraine Embassy in the dnc on behalf of Hillary Clinton. Adam schiff the day after the call on july 26 and abigail grace was working for adam schiff, those are fact witnesses. , the four of them would be critical and that would get us to the bottom of all of the corruption that involved ukraine and potentially the u. S. Embassy personnel, msc and the whole effort to go get trump after the first fell flat through the mueller report. Trish i think americans deserve it. To your point too many people would say, it was just political, the democrats in the house did one thing, the republicans did another. Wait a second i think americans deserve to know what happened and by bringing not to light, you are doing the country a service. Frankly i look at this and feel like im in a Banana Republic sometimes. What the heck is going on, you dont trust the transition of power. They didnt and they havent and they want to get rid of the transition of power but the trouble is, we dont have enough americans that watch you to know what is going on and they need to know there are witnesses that not only do not convict President Trump of any high crime or misdemeanor but that actually the only convict double people are the democrats that did higher Hillary Clinton campaign, the dnc hired a foreigner to intervene in the election named Christopher Steele and he talked to russians, ukrainians, we know a guy that got italy involved, australian involved, they are accusing the president of doing what they did and that the president did not do. Trish this is the point hes making in the letter calling it a war on american democracy. You think the term is appropriate . Is it a work on american democracy . It is a were on the current president and the current Republican Party it absolutely is. Trish is a world government customer. Yeah, you cannot have a democratic republic like weve had if youre going to allow one party to go to war with another. Trish let me ask you about Maxine Waters because she certainly has been a big critic but my gosh, she admits herself that she does not have the facts to back up her Conspiracy Theory, they want the viewer to see this and i want your reaction. I believe even though i dont have the facts to prove it, i believe, that putin wanted to lift the shank shins and knees always wanted to lift the sanctions that were placed on him because of his interfering and encouraging to crimea. I believe that they wanted to elect President Trump and trump, i believe agreed, i will always believe this that he agreed if he got elected he would lift the sanctions. Trish she was not challenged. She does not know her facts, she does not know her facts. What are we doing, Conspiracy Theory . Thats exactly what it is, as far as lifting tensions, the party that lifted the sanctions against russia was called obama and secretary Hillary Clinton and she rushed over to russians and said we know the bush ministration overreacted when you went into georgia and they put up sanctions and stuff, were wiping the slate clean, no sanctions, we have a reset button and all putin heard was, they dont mind if i invade crimea and ukraine. That was a green light to him and now they blame trump for this . He stood up and gave weapons to the ukrainians that obama would not give. Anyway, its called projecting, they engage in Inappropriate Conduct and they accuse us of doing just what they do that we did not do. Trish just air all the dirty laundry, go to trial and lets see whats what. Good to see you. Thank you. The liberal media loves nancy pelosi. Nancy pelosi through hard fastball. Speaker pelosi playing hardball. House Speaker Pelosi flexing her constitutional muscle. No surprise, they are not covering her district public dissipation problem, San Francisco residents push it.
