>>> ALL RIGHT. WE GOT SOME BREAKING NEWS AS WE
SEEM TO EVERY NIGHT FROM "THE WASHINGTON POST."
THIS ON DAN COATES. WHO'S THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL
INTELLIGENCE, FORMER SENATOR OF INDIANA.
HE'S ONE OF THE INDIVIDUALS THAT IN PREVIOUS REPORTING HAS BEEN
IDENTIFIED AS A PERSON THE PRESIDENT REACHED OUT TO TO
ATTEMPT TO GET COATES TO INTERVENE TO SHUT DOWN THE FBI'S
INVESTIGATION PARTICULARLY INTO MICHAEL FLYNN, HIS FORMER
NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER. NEW DETAILS TONIGHT ON THIS.
ON MARCH 22nd, LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER BEING CONFIRMED BY THE
SENATE, DNI DANIEL COATES ATTENDED A BRIEFING AT THE WHITE
HOUSE. I'M QUOTING "THE WASHINGTON
POST" HERE, TOGETHER WITH OFFICIALS FROM SEVERAL GOCHT
AGENCIES. AS THE BRIEFING WAS WRAPPING UP,
TRUMP ASKED EVERYONE TO LEAVE THE ROOM EXCEPT FOR COATES AND
CIA DIRECTOR MIKE POMPEO. THE PRESIDENT THEN STARTED
COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FBI INVESTIGATION AND COMEY'S
HANDLING IT. THIS REPORTING INDICATES THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT DAN COATES HIMSELF RELAYED TO ASSOCIATES.
IT WOULD SEEM TO CONFIRM PRIOR REPORTING THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD
SPECIFICALLY ASKED VARIOUS INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS TO QUASH
THE INVESTIGATION INTO MICHAEL FLYNN.
TWO DAYS EARLIER, COMEY HAD CONFIRMED IN A CONGRESSIONAL
HEARING THE BUREAU WAS PROBING WHETHER TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN
COORDINATED WITH RUSSIA DURING THE 2016 RACE.
LET ME JUST HIGHLIGHT ONE OTHER DETAIL HERE.
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST POSTED. THE DETAIL HERE OF A
POST-MEETING, EVERYONE LEAVE THE ROOM BUT FOR CIA DIRECTOR MIKE
POMPEO AND DAN COATES IS IDENTICAL TO THE M.O. THAT IS IN
THE REPORTING ABOUT WHEN THE PRESIDENT ASKED COMEY HIMSELF TO
LET FLYNN GO, TO TAKE IT EASY ON HIM.
THAT WAS ALSO AFTER A MEETING IN WHICH HE TOLD EVERYONE TO GO.
REPORTEDLY JEFF SESSIONS WANTED TO STAY BEHIND.
THE PRESIDENT TOLD HIM TO LEAVE AND THEN REPORTEDLY SAID THIS TO
JAMES COMEY. SO SIMILAR SORT OF PATTERN OF
BEHAVIOR, IT WOULD APPEAR, FROM THE REPORTING IF THE REPORT'S
ACCURATE. JOINING ME NOW, CONGRESSMAN TED
LIEU OF CALIFORNIA, A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE FOREIGN AFFAIRS
COMMITTEE. CONGRESSMAN, I KNOW THIS REPORT
HAS JUST BROKEN, BUT IT DOES LINE UP WITH SOME OF THE
INFORMATION WE'VE HAD FROM REPORTS ABOUT THE PRESIDENT
SEEKING VARIOUS CHANNELS BY WHICH TO STOP THE FBI
INVESTIGATION OF FLYNN. YOUR RESPONSE?
>> THANK YOU, CHRIS. AS A FORMER PROSECUTOR, THERE IS
A CONCEPT KNOWN AS CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT, AN ACTION THAT A
PERSON TAKES THAT AN INNOCENT PERSON WOULD NOT.
AND WHY WOULD THE PRESIDENT ASK PEOPLE TO LEAVE THE ROOM?
BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S ABOUT TO DO IS ILLEGAL.
THIS IS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, ENDEAVORING TO INFLUENCE AN
INVESTIGATION. WE'VE SEEN SO MUCH EVIDENCE OF
THIS, AND WE'RE GOING TO SEE COMEY TALK ABOUT IT AS WELL ON
THURSDAY. >> SO YOU THINK THIS IS, AS A
FORMER PROSECUTOR AND THERE'S BEEN DEBATE ABOUT WHAT THE
ACTUAL STATUTE AND THE CRIMINAL THRESHOLD IS, THE CONSCIOUSNESS
OF THE PARTY INVOLVED. BUT YOU THINK THIS IS ANOTHER --
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING THAT YOU THINK IS ON ITS FACE
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
>> YES. AND THE MOST DAMNING EVIDENCE
ARE THE PRESIDENT'S OWN ACTIONS AND WORDS.
NO DISPUTE HE FIRED COMEY. NO DISPUTE THAT HE TOLD THE
RUSSIANS THAT HE DID IT TO
RELIEVE THE PRESSURE ON HIM. THE WHITE HOUSE DOES NOT DISPUTE
THAT ACCOUNT. THAT IS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
I DON'T KNOW WHY PEEP TIPTOE AROUND IT.
IT IS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE. THE STATUTE IS VERY BROAD.
YOU JUST HAVE TO ENDEAVOR TO INFLUENCE, IMPEDE OR OBSTRUCT,
AND THE PRESIDENT HAS ALREADY DONE THAT.
>> DO YOU TRUST THAT THIS CONGRESS WILL TAKE THAT
SERIOUSLY IF THAT BASIC SET OF FACTS ARE RECONFIRMED IN OPEN
HEARING ON THURSDAY? >> I DON'T, BUT I DO TRUST
ROBERT MUELLER. AND I AM VERY PLEASED A SPECIAL
COUNSELOR HAS BEEN APPOINTED. THE APPOINTMENT LETTER GIVES HIM
VAST JURISDICTION NOT JUST TO INVESTIGATE TRUMP/RUSSIA
COLLUSION BUT ANYTHING ARISING FROM THAT, AND OBSTRUCTION OF
JUSTICE WOULD BE A CRIME ARISING FROM THAT INVESTIGATION.
>> DO YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE PEOPLE AROUND THE PRESIDENT?
I MEAN ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S STRIKING TO ME IS REPORTING THE
PRESIDENT IS APPARENTLY MAD AT JEFF SESSIONS BECAUSE HE RECUSED
HIMSELF. IT WOULD APPEAR, AND AGAIN HE WE
DON'T KNOW, THAT DAN COATES AND MIKE POMPEO DID NOT ACT ON THE
REQUEST OF THE PRESIDENT TO TRY TO INTERFERE IN AN ACTIVE FBI
INVESTIGATION. THAT THERE'S A SENSE OF THE
BASIC NORMS OF THE PEOPLE AT LEAST AROUND HIM IN THESE
POSITIONS HOLDING AT THIS POINT AT LEAST BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW.
>> WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT NORMS.
WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE BASIC RULE OF LAW.
THERE IS AN INCREDIBLE DISRESPECT FOR THE RULE OF LAW
BY THIS ADMINISTRATION. WE'VE GOT THE PRESIDENT
COMMITTING OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
YOU'VE GOT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL LYING BEFORE CONGRESS.
THAT'S PERJURY. YOU'VE GOT JARED KUSHNER
OMITTING DELIBERATELY INFORMATION ON HIS SECURITY
CLEARANCE FORM. THAT'S MAKING A FALSE OFFICIAL
STATEMENT, ALSO A FELONY. SO WE ARE SEEING SOMETHING THAT
WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE, WHICH IS NOT JUST BREAKING NORMS.
IT'S PEOPLE BREAKING THE LAW. >> AND WHAT IS THE SORT OF --
WHAT'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT IF THAT'S THE CASE?
LET ME JUST SAY THAT SESSIONS MAINTAINS THAT WAS AN OMISSION
ON HIS PART, ESSENTIALLY NOT INTENTIONAL DECEPTION.
HE HAD NOT THOUGHT OF IT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE QUESTION.
JARED KUSHNER DOESN'T REALLY HAVE A PARTICULARLY COHERENT
STORY ABOUT WHY HE PUT THAT ON THE SF-86.
BUT WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY HERE?
>> THE ACCOUNTABILITY WOULD REST WITH THE SPECIAL COUNSEL BECAUSE
IF THERE'S ENOUGH EVIDENCE FOR AN INDICTMENT, WHAT THE SPECIAL
COUNSEL WOULD DO IS INDICT THE INDIVIDUALS, AND THEN JEFF
SESSIONS CAN COME UP WITH HIS DEFENSE AND TRY TO CONVINCE
PEOPLE THAT IN FACT WHAT HE DID WAS NOT PERJURY.
BUT THERE'S DEFINITELY ENOUGH FOR AN INDICTMENT.
THAT'S HOW I VIEW THE EVIDENCE, AND I DO TRUST SPECIAL COUNSEL
MUELLER, AND I HOPE HE DOES THE RIGHT THING.
>> DO YOU WORRY ABOUT PARDONS? >> PERHAPS.
BUT KEEP IN MIND THE PRESIDENT HAS TO BE IN PLACE TO MAKE THE
PARDON. SO WE'LL SEE
