WE HAVE MORE DRAMA AND PROBLEMS WITH HOUSE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN DEVIN NUNES, AND IT TURNS OUT THAT IS HOW HIS
NAME IS PRONOUNCED, HE IS PORTUGUESE.
THIS TIME HE'S
CANCELED HIS HEARINGS WHERE WE WERE GOING TO HEAR FROM FORMER
ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL YATES.
SHE WAS DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL
UNDER THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE, AND THEN WENT TO CAME IN HE MADE HER
ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY FIRED HER.
THE
REASON WAS BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO ENFORCE HIS ILLEGAL
TRAVEL BAN.
NOW THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS SCRAPPED THAT
PLAN BECAUSE IT WAS SO ILLEGAL THEY COULDN'T DEFEND IT IN
COURT, THEY HAVE TO GO WITH A NEW TRAVEL BAN WHICH WAS ALSO
BLOCKED, IT TURNS OUT YATES WAS CORRECT, IT WAS ILLEGAL, DOESN'T
MATTER, GOT HER FIRED ANYWAY.
THEY WERE GOING TO BRING HER IN
TO TALK ABOUT MICHAEL FLYNN, SHE WAS INVESTIGATING HIM AND WARNED
THE WHITE HOUSE HE MIGHT BE A FOREIGN AGENT, WHICH IT TURNS
OUT HE PRETTY MUCH WAS.
THAT IS ONE OF THE NEW PROBLEMS FOR
DEVIN NUNES, HE'S A REPUBLICAN IN CHARGE OF THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE WHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO FIND OUT IF TRUMP HAD A DEAL
WITH THE RUSSIANS, THAT COLLUSION OR POSSIBLE COLLUSION
IS WHAT THEY ARE INVESTIGATING.
NOT ONLY DID HE NOT ALLOW YATES
TO TESTIFY, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN IN A SECOND, HE APPARENTLY WENT
TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND TALKS TO FOLKS ON THE WHITE HOUSE GROUNDS
WHILE DOING AN INVESTIGATION OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
OH, GOD.
JESUS
CHRIST.
ADAM SCHIFF, WHO IS THE RANKING DEMOCRAT ON THE HOUSE
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE WHO HAS WORKED WITH NUNES FOR A NUMBER
OF YEARS, HAS THIS TO SAY.
EXCUSE ME, I'M SICK, GUYS.
YOU GUYS KNOW WHEN I GET SICK WE HAVE A LOT OF MARCO RUBIO
MOMENTS.
BUT IN ORDER TO DO THE FULL RUBIO, YOU HAVE TO REACH
IN.
OKAY.
ADAM SCHIFF SAID --
THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, DOESN'T IT?
IF NUNES WAS PART OF
THE TRANSITION TEAM, HOW IS HE GOING TO CONDUCT AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION OF THE TRANSITION TEAM?
THAT IS PREPOSTEROUS, OF
COURSE HE SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION, LET ALONE
HOW HE HAS BUNGLED IT SO FAR, WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO YATES.
THE WASHINGTON POST EXPLAINS --
LET'S PAUSE TO EXPLAIN.
YATES HAS INFORMATION ABOUT THE
RUSSIAN INVESTIGATIONS BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL.
SHE SAYS TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT I'VE BEEN ASKED BY
THE COMMITTEE TO TESTIFY, I ONLY WANT TO TALK ABOUT STUFF THAT
ISN'T CLASSIFIED, AM I ALLOWED?
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, UNDER
NEW LEADERSHIP, IS LIKE, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
THAT MIGHT BE
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE PRESIDENT THAT YOU ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT.
THAT'S NOT THE LAW BUT THAT APPEARED TO BE THEIR INTENTION.
THE WASHINGTON POST EXPLAINS FURTHER --
HERE COMES MORE TWISTS --
IN FACT --
HMM.
SO NOW SEAN SPICER -- LET ME SKIP AHEAD TO SEAN SPICER,
WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY, HE SAYS --
WHY DOES HE SAY THAT, AND WHAT IS THE REALITY?
WELL, IN
THIS CASE IT TURNS OUT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TOLD YATES,
HEY, STAND DOWN, THE PRESIDENT HAS PRIVILEGE THAT MIGHT BLOCK
YOU FROM TESTIFYING, AND WHEN THAT DIDN'T STAND UP SHE TOLD
THE WHITE HOUSE I'M GOING TO GO TESTIFY, HER LAWYER SAID YOU
HAVE 24 HOURS TO RESPOND, THE WHITE HOUSE DOESN'T RESPOND, BUT
THEN NUNES, WHO WAS ON THE TRUMP TRANSITION TEAM AND IS SUPPOSED
TO BE LEADING THE INVESTIGATION BUT IS IN FACT WORKING WITH
TRUMP TO BLOCK THE INVESTIGATION, TURNS AROUND AND
GOES YOUR MEETING IS CANCELED.
A WILD COINCIDENCE.
AND SPICER
SAYS THE WHITE HOUSE DIDN'T CANCEL THE MEETING, NUNES DID.
WHAT A WILD COINCIDENCE.
OH, HE WAS ON THE TRANSITION TEAM AND
HAS BEEN PASSING SECRET INTELLIGENCE BEFORE HE GIVES IT
TO THE COMMITTEE TO US, THE PEOPLE UNDER INVESTIGATION?
WHAT
A COINCIDENCE, HE HAPPENS TO WORK FOR US AGAIN.
WE CAUGHT
ANOTHER LUCKY BREAK.
AND THEN THEY ASKED NUNES ABOUT THIS --
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
THIS GUY HAS EMPTY EYES, HE'S
NOT VERY BRIGHT AT ALL.
IF YOU ARE DOING A SAVVY COVER-UP YOU
DON'T TELL WITNESSES YOU INTERVIEW PEOPLE ON WHITE HOUSE
GROUNDS WHEN YOU ARE INVESTIGATING THE WHITE HOUSE.
WHEN THEY ASK YOU IF THE WHITE HOUSE ASKED YOU TO CANCEL THE
HEARING, YOU SHOULD SAY OF COURSE NOT.
INSTEAD, HE'S LIKE I
CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
THAT MEANS THEY TOLD YOU, YOU
SCHMUCK.
HERE IS HIS QUOTE --
AY YIY YIY.
YOU JUST ADMITTED IT, YOU SCHMUCK.
WHEN THEY ASK
YOU IF THE WHITE HOUSE ASKED YOU TO CANCEL THE MEETING, AND YOU
SAY I CAN ANSWER THAT RIGHT NOW -- DID THEY BREAK THE STORY
ALREADY?
YEAH, DEVIN, THEY BROKE THE STORY ALREADY.
HE IS SO
DENSE.
OF COURSE THEY ASKED HIM, DON'T LET YATES TESTIFY, JESUS,
IF PEOPLE FIND OUT WHAT SHE KNOWS -- A MEMBER, WE FIRED HER
AND WE STILL CAN'T GET RID OF HER.
TO NUNES'S CREDIT, WHEN
THEY ASKED HIM, DIDN'T YOU JUST GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND DO
THIS STUFF RIGHT IN FRONT OF TRUMP'S EYES, DIDN'T YOU TELL
HIM ALL THE STUFF WITHOUT TELLING HER OWN INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE, WITHOUT SHARING IT WITH THE DEMOCRATS OR
REPUBLICANS ON YOUR COMMITTEE, THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO DO IN AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION?
HE SAID, THERE
WAS NO SNEAKING AROUND.
THAT MEANS I'M OBVIOUSLY WORKING FOR
TRUMP RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.
WE SEE THAT.
SO,
INTERESTING TO SEE WHAT YATES WILL EVENTUALLY SAY IF
SHE'S EVER ALLOWED TO TESTIFY.
