Transcripts For FBC The Evening Edit 20240713

Prosecution by the special counsels office and the u. S. Attorney for the district of columbia. These documents include a report that was done by the fbi actually closing out the file on general flynn by january 4, 2017. Finding no evidence of any wrongdoing or improper russian contacts or anything that would warrant further investigation in any way, shape or form. Then suddenly at the direction of the seventh floor, the tweets or Text Messages between strzok and page indicate that mr. Strzok reopened or made sure the file never got completely closed and started on an entirely different path. They reflect additional violations of protocol by all the people in the fbi that were involved in setting up general flynn. Elizabeth so it seems that peter struck was saying keep the case open against Michael Flynn, do not shut it. Later that day he texted lisa page, saying it is quote serendipitously good that basically were keeping the case open and then she texts back, quote, phew. This son the news, basically more documents revealing that the fbi at that time was either trying to get Michael Flynn to lie or to admit to violations of the federal logan act. Senator Chuck Grassley was on our show last night saying you should throw the book at these guys. You should hold them accountable. Your reaction . I agree. He couldnt be held guilty of violating the logan act, aside no one has been. He was doing his job as member of the president ial transition team. That is all he was doing in his job. The government admitted in the case in front of judge sullivan there was nothing illegal or improper about the phone conferences, a phone call that kept getting dropped with ambassador kislyak. That was hogwash. Brady material said there was no logan act violations. That is one of the pretexts trying to interview him. Elizabeth so the newlyreleased hand written notes from unnamed senior fbi official show fbi beige cents debating quote what is our goal, truth admission or get him, Michael Flynn to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired. Legal experts say this should send chills down everyones spines, that the inside the fbi, the attitude was, there is violations by the trump campaign. The russian probe was underway. There was a push to do something about it. But you know we talked to legal experts, if you strip away all the names and, you know theyre saying this is really constitutional problem what the fish by officials are doing now. The notes also read, quote if were seen as playing games, the white house will be furious, protect our institution by not playing games. So theyre riley striking, stunning in these notes. Yes. They went right about ignoring the advice not to play games. That is exactly what they did because they had a meeting in which they decided purposely to keep him relaxed and unguarded, to not even mention the admittedly recognized requirement of at least mentioning a section 1001 violation, which is a false statement, punishable by five years in prison. They wanted to keep him relaxed, unguarded, not even realizing he was the subject of an interview. If you go back and listen to the entire elizabeth [inaudible]. No. He does not recall the word lawyer coming up in the conversation and im pretty sure it didnt. I think mccabes memo was cya thing in the file for himself, that the government relied on here and there, that that same memo reflects, general flynn does know this, they had transcripts of his conversations with kislyak. They didnt need to talk to him about those at all. They knew exactly what he had said. Elizabeth you know, by the way, Michael Flynn shared a video of the american flag. He tweeted out a video of the flag waving in the wind shortly after this news broke. The notes also show fbi officials, by the notes appear to have the initials of william free step, the head of fbi county Intelligence Division and Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe. Among caib called flynn said you will meet with peter strzok and another fbi official. That peter strzok and lisa page were debating when to apprise Michael Flynn of socalled miranda rights under 10. What was your reaction when you saw that in the document . I was expecting that also because i already knew from prior disclosures they had decided not to even mention a section 1001 violation to him, much less warn him of his legal rights to remain silent. Full miranda warnings were not contemplated given miranda warnings. The most they were considering doing, as you know, this could be a violation of section 100or a violation of section 1001 to make any kind of a false statement. That was the most they were going to say. Yet, despite advice of counsel they literally did not even do that because they wanted to keep him relaxed and unguarded in case their plan to get him out there have did not work. He wound up being the National Security advisor for the new administration entire time. There could be hell to pay. He already knew was trying to audit intel agencies for their egregious abuses. He exposed problems the Obama Administration had with isis and Afghanistan War debacle and any number of other things he had blown the whistle on when he was in the Obama Administration. God forbid we have honest person speaking out, working in the Trump Administration to get some of this mess straightened out. Elizabeth legal experts we talked are astounded. Former fbi directors at the bureau are astounded what is going on with Michael Flynn. Youve been trying to get these documents, you and your team have been trying to get these documents for years. It appears, are we correct in saying, reporting that it appears these documents have been withheld from your team, and are even more potentially more exculpatory documents forth coming . Ag barr continues to look over the Justice Department handling of the flynn case. What is the status of both those questions . They already told us more exculpatory documents are coming. They have more to produce. It is obvious they have been held from the beginning of the case. Most of what weve gotten so far predates the interview of general flynn on january 24th. Then they proceeded to make it up from there. Because they knew he didnt lie then either. We learned from the i. G. Report in december that one of the agent who interviewed him on january 24th had been surreptitiously, wrongfully inserted into a president ial briefing for trump and flynn back in august of 2016 before the election. And that was done specifically in the event that flynn wound up being in the white house and they wanted to interview him later that agent would have a baseline to go go by and ability to judge its mannerisms, to collect information on anything he said they might could use against him later. Again that was all secretly. No warning at all. Total breach of the trust that is supposed to exist between the Incoming Administration and the intelligence community. Elizabeth why did Michael Flynn plead guilty to lying to government investigators after this interview with the fbi on january 2017 about his contacts with russians . Was pressured into pleading guilty . Why did he plead guilty . Well there were any number of reasons. Judge racoff written article why the innocent plead guilty n this case certainly exemplifies everyone of those reasons. Number one he incurred a couple Million Dollars legal fees with covington attempts to get the foreign registration act filed for his company. Mounds of congressional subpoenas and demands for production of documents. By august i would say his fees were close to two Million Dollars if not more. He had to put his house on the market to sell it. Special counsel operation started up focused with a laser on him and they were threatening to, they all of sudden they put enormous pressure on him, threatening him to indict his son, who just had a fourmonthold baby and indict him the next day if he didnt enter a plea of guilty. Come to find out, that did that and very next day the news broke about the strzok paige Text Messages how that was. None of which was disclosed to general flynn. He didnt get a single piece of actual exculpatory evidence. Most he got explanation of his lawyers to a couple things wasnt even related to him fully or properly. He was misled to believe that the agents said he was lying when he knew he wasnt. But he was going to accept responsibility for what the government he trusted and believed in said he had done if they thought he was lying and it was communicated back to him. That is what he understood them to say. And turns out that wasnt true at all. Elizabeth you know, senator chuck grassily told us last night that he got a briefing from then fbi director james comey who told him that he saw nothing that led them, that fbi agents quote, saw nothing that led them to bleach Michael Flynn was lying and james comey said he did not believe the Justice Department would charge flynn. Is it peter strzok the one who turned this all around to try to get flynn prosecuted . Can you lay that at the feet of peter strzok and who else . We can lay it at the feet of i believe of james comey and Andrew Mccabe and peter strzok because of the Text Messages that are disclosed now. There will be more evidence coming. Weve still a lot more that they have said theyre going to disclose to us. Elizabeth all right. Sydney powell, thank you so much. You will be back later with us in the show to talk more about this cares and about the emails between peter strzok and lisa page, debating when to tell flynn about his rights on selfincriminating statements in the fbi interview. A lot more show is coming up. Indiana republican senator mike braun on the battle to reopen. Firstresponders are working, hospital workers are hard at work, Grocery Stores are fiving to get food on the shelves there. The senate is reopening. 20 states are moving to reopen this week. The debate. How can the house of representatives still is not reopening . Reopening . That debate is coming up next. Motor . Nope. Not motor . Its pronounced motaur.

And i recently had a heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. Elizabeth lets welcome Indiana Republican senator, mike braun. Great to have you on the show. Senator, firstresponders are working, hospital workers are hard at it, grocery store, the Grocery Stores are working hard, the senate is reopening, 20 states are fighting to reopen. Maybe this week, maybe next, why isnt the house of representatives yet opening . It is a good question because prior to leaving, march 26th, most of us were on the protocol of what it was going to be like when we come back. So almost all staff was working remotely. There were maybe a few capital employees. So i dont really know what the good reason is other than each step along the way Speaker Pelosi seems to want to throw a little drama that into it. That occurred the three days trying to wrap up phase three, if you remember. We had that mostly in the bag on sunday evening. It ended up being Late Wednesday when she tried to throw all the extraneous stuff in. There is no real good reason. Weve also had the benefit of watching what you need to do, what businesses have been practicing, in terms of what you do, when youre trying to get something done. So i dont know if well ever find out the real reason but i think theyre coming back a week later. Elizabeth so so much work needs to be done to reopen. Safety standards to protect workers. Businesses are fighting to get a safe harbor from liability lawsuits to open businesses. Republican Steve Scalise says House Speaker nancy pelosi can get the house back to work via social distancing and other Safety Measures and we also have House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy basically saying she can do it, she can reopen but she wont do it. Pelosi, theyre saying that pelosi and her majority want to just sit back, wherever theyre at to write bills in secret. Your reaction to that . Obviously i guess that will be their tactic. I dont think it will work. At least in the senate. Well get back to the business of what we were doing mostly. Remember i came in as a freshman senator. The government was shut down. We quickly migrated into the impeachment saga. Now coronavirus. There were 80 senators weighed in trying to Reform Health care. Whether we even get to that with everything interrupted i dont know. She could be back here. She knows a weeks delay. She will have to do it anyway. To me, that costs the American People a week of when we could all be together to try to work towards some of the stuff we had on the the on docket before. Anything we might do to finish up whatever the federal government will do additionally for coronavirus that will get down to the issue you talked about. Elizabeth yep. Every Business Owner i talked to will Pay Attention to the rules. They are worried about frivolous lawsuits. From what i hear, she doesnt want to do anything about that yet. Needs to get back. Elizabeth heres the thing. Now we have 30 million americans out of work. 30 million. Were looking at a potential 20 jobless rate. You know, and so, americans are struggling, theyre fighting for their lives, they see the house not working, not back to where we were in january. Where everything was cushy and thinking that the coronavirus may not be coming to us. Democrats acting like they had the foresight to know it was heading here and the president should have done more. Those days of back fighting and ankle biting are over. The country has changed. Everyone, you know, everyone who moved on from that, the house isnt moving forward. Your final word. I did two floor speeches before we left on this very moment in front of us. Obviously each governor and each state is going to control that dynamic. But if we do this right, we can take this to where businesses know the new rules of the new normal. Need to have a try. We i dont think can keep trying to replace through the federal government, it is a poor substitute, the real economy, that Many Democrats seem like theyre not that interested in talking about how to do a smart restart. We need to get back to d. C. We need to focus on that. See what we can do to engender it. But mostly let the Strong Economy that we had before resurge and do it smartly. Elizabeth well the democrats are acting like the house of representatives is not an essential business. Kevin mccarthy saying we are, we need to get back to work. Senator, youre terrific. Come back soon. Thank you. Elizabeth okay. Next is major book lash against this new push backlash against this new push.
