ALL THE STUFF THAT MAKES HIM LOOK BAD.
SO IT'S IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION AT THIS POINT.
>> AS WE WERE DISCUSSING, SENATOR, YOU GOT YOUR QUESTION
GOT HIM TO ADMIT BEING A LEAKER. >> DID YOU KNOW THAT WAS COMING?
>> I MUST ADMIT I DID NOT KNOW. IT CAME AS A BIG SURPRISE TO ME.
IN FACT I WAS STUNNED AT THE REVELATION.
WHEN I ASKED THE QUESTION, I WONDERED WHOM THE DIRECTOR HAD
SHOWN HIS MEMOS TO. I DID NOT EXPECT HIM TO ADMIT
THAT HE HAD GIVEN THEM TO A FRIEND OF HIS WITH THE EXPRESS
PURPOSE OF HAVING THAT FRIEND LEAK IT TO THE MEDIA IN ORDER TO
PROMPT THE APPOINTMENT OF A SPECIAL COUNSEL, WHICH IT DID.
>> YOUR REACTION TO THAT. APPROPRIATE?
>> I DON'T THINK IT WAS APPROPRIATE.
I WOULD ARGUE THAT THAT WAS A GOVERNMENT PRODUCED DOCUMENT.
IT WAS WORK DOCUMENT. AND I THINK IT QUALIFIES AS A
LEAK. THE IRONY IS THAT THE FORMER
DIRECTOR OF THE FBI HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY ANNOYED WHEN THERE ARE
LEAKS. AND THEN IT TURNS OUT THAT HE
LEAKED A DOCUMENT HIMSELF. >> DO YOU BELIEVE DIRECTOR COMEY
WAS FORTHCOMING IN. >> DO I.
I BELIEVE HIS TESTIMONY WHICH WAS UNDER OATH WAS CANDID,
STRAIGHTFORWARD, IT WAS QUITE THOROUGH.
HE ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS THAT HE COULD ANSWER.
THERE WERE SOME THAT GOT INTO THE LANE OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL
WHICH HE COULD NOT ANSWER. >> YOU WENT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S PLENTY YOU CAN'T SHARE BECAUSE OF THAT.
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S CLASSIFYING. BUT DID HE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS?
>> HE ANSWERED MORE QUESTIONS IN THE PRIVATE CLOSED SESSION.
BUT THAT WAS A VERY SHORT SESSION COMPARED TO THIS
MORNING'S. >> WHY?
>> I'M NOT SURE AND WE ON BENEFIT FROM A LONGER SESSION
WITH MR. COMEY IN PRIVATE. >> A COUPLE THINGS.
SINCE YOU NOW HAVE THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL LAWYER
CONFIRMING SOME PARTS OF DIRECTOR COMEY'S TESTIMONY,
DENYING OTHER PARTS, INCLUDING THE DIRECT QUOTES WHICH ARE AT
ISSUE HERE. SHOULD CONGRESS SUBPOENA?
DO YOU WANT CONGRESS, DO YOU WANT TO SUBPOENA?
>> IF THE TAPES EXIST, I BELIEVE THE SPECIAL COUNSEL SHOULD HAVE
THEM AND OUR COMMITTEE SHOULD HAVE THEM.
AFTER ALL, THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT INVESTIGATIONS WITH
TWO DIFFERENT PURPOSES. OUR INVESTIGATION IS A BROAD
INVESTIGATION INTO RUSSIAN ATTEMPTS TO INFLUENCE THE
ELECTIONS LAST FALL. A COUNTER INTELLIGENCE
INVESTIGATION. >> OKAY.
DO YOU THINK IT NEEDS TO BE SUBPOENAED?
>> WELL, I WOULD HOPE THAT THE WHITE HOUSE WOULD VOLUNTARILY
TURN OVER ANY RELEVANT DOCUMENTS OR TAPES.
THERE'S A BIG ISSUE AS TO WHETHER THE TIMES EVEN EXIST OR
WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS SOME SORT OF TWEET THAT THE PRESIDENT
PUT OUT FOR WHATEVER PURPOSE. >> DO YOU THINK THE PRESIDENT
NEEDS TO CLEAR THIS UP? >> YES.
I DO. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IT
BE CLEARED UP. >> LOOK, YOU HAVE A HE SAID, HE
SAID HERE. YOU'RE GOING TO BE PUT IN THE
POSITION OF DECIDING WHO IS MORE CREDIBLE, THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF
THE FBI OR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> IT WILL BE THE SPECIAL COUNSEL'S JOB WHO WILL HAVE
ACCESS TO MORE WITNESSES THAN WE DO.
AND LOOKING AT THE CRIMINAL ASPECT OF THIS.
IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AN OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE ISSUE,
THAT IS THE JOB OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL.
BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW THE EXTENT OF WHITE
HOUSE INVOLVEMENT OR THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN INVOLVEMENT AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS ANY COLLUSION
WITH THE RUSSIANS LAST FALL. BY ANY MEMBER OF PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S CIRCLE. >> IT IS NOT CLEAR TO ME WHETHER
OR NOT DIRECTOR COMEY CONFIRMED WHETHER THERE IS NOW AN
INVESTIGATION TO WHETHER THE PRESIDENT OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE.
ARE YOU CLEAR? IS THERE AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION
BY THE SPECIAL COUNSEL ON WHETHER THE PRESIDENT OBSTRUCTED
JUSTICE? >> I BELIEVE THAT MR. COMEY
CONFIRMED THAT AS OF THE DATE THAT HE WAS DISMISSED, ON MAY 9,
THERE WAS NO INVESTIGATION OF THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF.
THERE MAY WELL BE, THERE UNDOUBTEDLY ARE INVESTIGATIONS
OF PEOPLE IN THE PRESIDENT'S CIRCLE.
>> THAT I UNDERSTAND. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PRESIDENT
HIMSELF AND THE OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE ISSUE.
DURING THE TESTIMONY HE IMPLIED THE SPECIAL COUNSEL WAS
INVESTIGATING WHETHER THIS WAS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
>> I THINK WASN'T CLEAR. I THINK HE SAID THAT HE COULDN'T
OPINE ON THAT BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT ONE WOULD EXPECT.
>> WHAT UNANSWERED QUESTION DO YOU FEEL LIKE IS STILL THERE
THAT REALLY BOTHERS YOU? >> WELL, WE STILL DON'T HAVE AN
ANSWER TO THE BASIC QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT MEMBERS OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN STAFF COLLABORATED WITH THE RUSSIANS.
IT IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT THE RUSSIANS TRIED TO INFLUENCE THE
ELECTION. THAT'S NOT TO SAY THEY CHANGED
VOTES. BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY TRIED
THROUGH A PUBLIC INFORMATION AND DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN, THE
RELEASE OF E-MAILS, TO PLANT FALSE STORIES TO INFLUENCE THE
ELECTION. WHAT IS NOT CLEAR, AND WHAT WE
DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO, A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION OF WHETHER OR
NOT ANY MEMBERS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN WERE INVOLVED
IN THAT EFFORT. >> ALL RIGHT.
I'LL LEAVE IT THERE. ONE OF
