WEBVTT

00:01.249 --> 00:02.384
PROSECUTOR IN THE SENATE

00:02.419 --> 00:03.620
IMPEACHMENT TRIAL OF DONALD

00:03.654 --> 00:05.080
TRUMP, CONGRESSMAN ADAM SCHIFF,

00:05.081 --> 00:06.546
THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE

00:06.548 --> 00:07.385
INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE

00:07.419 --> 00:10.514
AND CHAIRMAN SCHIFF, IT SEEMS

00:10.515 --> 00:12.825
TONIGHT THAT HISTORIANS NOW HAVE

00:12.826 --> 00:16.224
THE PROOF THAT DONALD TRUMP

00:16.225 --> 00:17.878
COMMITTED THOSE HIGH CRIMES

00:17.913 --> 00:21.928
BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT HE COULD

00:21.963 --> 00:24.352
NOT BEAT JOE BIDEN IN A FAIR

00:24.386 --> 00:24.763
ELECTION

00:24.797 --> 00:27.715
>> I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT.

00:27.716 --> 00:29.031
THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN

00:29.032 --> 00:29.764
VINDICATED

00:29.766 --> 00:31.828
AND REALIZATION THAT JOE BIDEN

00:31.863 --> 00:33.999
COULD BEAT HIM, THAT JOE BIDEN

00:34.001 --> 00:36.313
WAS A THREAT TO HIS RE-ELECTION,

00:36.315 --> 00:38.558
THAT INDEED JOE BIDEN PROVED HE

00:38.559 --> 00:41.140
COULD BEAT DONALD TRUMP.

00:41.141 --> 00:43.510
AND, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE

00:43.544 --> 00:45.562
PRESIDENT HAS SHOWN ALSO IN HOW

00:45.596 --> 00:47.197
HE’S HANDLING THIS TRANSITION,

00:47.231 --> 00:48.701
SOMETHING THAT’S BEEN ABUNDANTLY

00:48.702 --> 00:50.510
CLEAR NOW FOR YEARS, AND THAT IS

00:50.544 --> 00:52.167
HE WILL NEVER ACT IN THE

00:52.201 --> 00:53.328
NATION’S INTEREST IF IT

00:53.362 --> 00:55.295
CONFLICTS WITH HIS OWN PERSONAL

00:55.296 --> 00:56.109
INTEREST

00:56.143 --> 00:58.266
AND RIGHT NOW HERE’S NOTHING

00:58.300 --> 01:01.463
ABOUT NOTHING IN TERMS OF WHAT’S

01:01.498 --> 01:03.274
GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY

01:03.275 --> 01:06.492
IT’S ONLY SAVING WHAT’S LEFT OF

01:06.527 --> 01:08.800
HIS PRIDE AND HIS EGO AND

01:08.801 --> 01:10.707
LASHING OUT TO THE VERY END.

01:10.741 --> 01:12.854
>> I WANT TO GET YOUR REACTION

01:12.888 --> 01:14.870
TO THE WAY THE PRESIDENT FIRED

01:14.904 --> 01:17.296
THE DEFENSE SECRETARY TODAY,

01:17.331 --> 01:19.929
SECRETARY ESPER FIRED HIM VIA

01:19.930 --> 01:22.533
TWEET AND HOW MANY MORE OF THOSE

01:22.566 --> 01:24.323
DO WE EXPECT IN THE 72 DAYS?

01:24.358 --> 01:25.870
>> YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO THINK

01:25.904 --> 01:29.594
THAT WE COULD SEE A LOT OF BLOOD

01:29.595 --> 01:30.865
LETTING IN THE NEXT COUPLE

01:30.899 --> 01:32.178
MONTHS

01:32.212 --> 01:36.254
EITHER THE DEFENSE SECRETARY IS

01:36.288 --> 01:38.729
GONE, MAYBE LESS COULD SEE THAT

01:38.730 --> 01:39.155
COMING

01:39.157 --> 01:41.482
TONIGHT WE GOT WORD THE TOP

01:41.517 --> 01:42.986
CLIMATE SCIENTIST HAS BEEN

01:43.020 --> 01:45.001
REMOVED FROM HIS POST.

01:45.002 --> 01:46.472
YOU HAVE A HIGH PROFILE

01:46.507 --> 01:48.547
RESIGNATION AT THE JUSTICE

01:48.582 --> 01:51.024
DEPARTMENT OF SOMEONE WHO REFUSE

01:51.025 --> 01:52.344
TODAY DO BILL BARR’S NEW

01:52.379 --> 01:52.737
BIDDING.

01:52.771 --> 01:55.438
YOU HAVE NEW LAWYER, A GENERAL

01:55.440 --> 01:57.843
COUNSEL AT THE NATIONAL SECURITY

01:57.845 --> 02:00.407
AGENCY, THE NSA WHO’S REALLY NOT

02:00.408 --> 02:01.944
JUST UNQUALIFIED FOR THE JOB BUT

02:01.945 --> 02:03.800
ANTITHETICAL TO THE REQUIREMENTS

02:03.801 --> 02:06.314
OF THE GENERAL COUNSEL OF THAT

02:06.315 --> 02:08.855
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY THAT THEY BE

02:08.856 --> 02:10.872
UTTERLY APOLITICAL

02:10.873 --> 02:14.871
THIS IS SOMEONE WHO WAS A FORMER

02:14.872 --> 02:18.469
NUNES STAFFER AND HAD A RUN IN

02:18.504 --> 02:20.873
THE MIDNIGHT RUN EPISODE

02:20.908 --> 02:23.150
WE’RE GOING TO SEE MORE OF THIS.

02:23.151 --> 02:25.197
THE PRESIDENT DOESN’T LIKE FOR A

02:25.199 --> 02:26.357
REASON OR OTHER REWARDING

02:26.358 --> 02:28.316
POLITICAL CRONIES IN THESE LAST
HOURS AND DAYS

02:28.350 --> 02:29.377
HOURS AND DAYS

02:29.411 --> 02:36.804
>> WE HAVE THE MEMO THAT RICHARD

02:36.839 --> 02:38.766
PILGER FILED TONIGHT

02:38.767 --> 02:41.352
HE’S ALSO THE WINNER OF AN

02:41.354 --> 02:42.605
INTEGRITY AWARD IN THE JUSTICE

02:42.606 --> 02:43.137
DEPARTMENT

02:43.171 --> 02:46.376
AND HE CITES THAT IN SAYING WHY

02:46.378 --> 02:47.239
HE’S RESIGNING

02:47.240 --> 02:49.906
HE SAID HAVING FAMILIARIZED

02:49.907 --> 02:52.331
MYSELF WITH NEW POLICY AND ITS

02:52.332 --> 02:54.693
RAMIFICATIONS AND IN ACCORD WITH

02:54.694 --> 02:57.575
THE BEST TRADITION OF THE AWARD

02:57.609 --> 02:59.033
FOR PROFESSIONAL INTEGRITY AND

02:59.068 --> 03:00.103
PROFESSIONALISM MY MOST

03:00.104 --> 03:01.260
CHERISHED DEPARTMENTAL

03:01.294 --> 03:03.713
RECOGNITION I MUST REGRETFULLY

03:03.714 --> 03:05.436
RESIGN FROM MY ROLE AS DIRECTOR

03:05.437 --> 03:08.179
OF THE ELECTION CRIMES BRANCH.

03:08.213 --> 03:10.355
AND THIS IS SIMPLY AFTER WILLIAM

03:10.356 --> 03:12.609
BARR ISSUED A MEMO TO FEDERAL

03:12.611 --> 03:13.933
PROSECUTORS SAYING YOU CAN

03:13.934 --> 03:15.313
INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE ELECTION

03:15.315 --> 03:17.413
CRIMES HERE, BUT HE ALSO

03:17.447 --> 03:18.824
INCLUDED OTHER LIMITATIONS LIKE

03:18.858 --> 03:20.951
IT HAS TO BE A CASE THAT WILL

03:20.952 --> 03:22.669
CHANGE THE OUTCOME IN A STATE,

03:22.670 --> 03:24.202
WHICH WE KNOW IS NOT OUT THERE

03:24.237 --> 03:26.095
THAT CASE ISN’T GOING TO BE

03:26.129 --> 03:29.007
FOUND, AND SO THIS IS THE

03:29.041 --> 03:30.592
CLASSIC RESIGNATION ON PRINCIPLE

03:30.593 --> 03:34.336
BY SOMEONE WHO DIDN’T WANT HIS

03:34.337 --> 03:36.428
INTEGRITY COMPROMISED BY THAT

03:36.463 --> 03:37.432
BARR MEMO.

03:37.433 --> 03:39.802
>> YOU KNOW, LAWRENCE, I CAN

03:39.803 --> 03:41.516
ONLY THINK HOW HISTORY MIGHT

03:41.551 --> 03:44.211
HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF THERE

03:44.245 --> 03:47.350
WERE MORE PEOPLE LIKE MR. PILGER

03:47.384 --> 03:48.980
WHO RECOGNIZED THEIR GREATER

03:48.981 --> 03:50.780
GOOD WOULD COME IN RESIGNING

03:50.781 --> 03:53.173
THEIR POSITION RATHER THAN

03:53.207 --> 03:54.738
CARRYING OUT THINGS AMENICABLE

03:54.739 --> 03:56.321
TO THE NATIONAL INTERESTS.

03:56.322 --> 03:57.863
SO HATS OFF TO THIS PERSON OF

03:57.864 --> 03:58.516
INTEGRITY.

03:58.517 --> 04:01.379
BILL BARR HAS DECIDED THAT FROM

04:01.381 --> 04:03.268
HIS FIRST STAY IN THE ATTORNEY

04:03.269 --> 04:04.971
GENERAL’S OFFICE TO HIS LAST HE

04:04.972 --> 04:05.889
WILL BE DONALD TRUMP’S PERSONAL

04:05.890 --> 04:06.171
LAWYER

04:06.205 --> 04:07.780
HE WILL DO WHAT DONALD TRUMP

04:07.781 --> 04:08.678
WANTS HIM TO DO.

04:08.712 --> 04:10.048
HE WILL NOT BE THE ATTORNEY

04:10.083 --> 04:12.111
GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES

04:12.146 --> 04:13.869
HE WILL NOT DO WHAT’S IN THE

04:13.904 --> 04:14.953
BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF

04:14.954 --> 04:16.002
THE UNITED STATES.

04:16.003 --> 04:18.642
HE WILL DO WHAT HE BELIEVES HE

04:18.676 --> 04:20.531
CAN GET AWAY WITH THAT’S IN THE

04:20.533 --> 04:21.039
PRESIDENT’S PERSONAL IT

04:21.074 --> 04:21.429
INTEREST

04:21.463 --> 04:23.550
RIGHT NOW THERE’S NO EVIDENCE OF

04:23.584 --> 04:25.763
SYSTEMIC FRAUD IN THE ELECTION

04:25.797 --> 04:27.519
HE IS AUTHORIZING PROSECUTORS TO

04:27.521 --> 04:28.824
IGNORE PREVIOUS JUSTICE

04:28.858 --> 04:30.669
DEPARTMENT POLICY AND ENGAGE IN

04:30.703 --> 04:32.518
INVESTIGATIONS THAT WILL ONLY

04:32.552 --> 04:34.202
SEEK TO UNDERMINE THE

04:34.203 --> 04:36.424
CREDIBILITY OF THE ELECTION,

04:36.459 --> 04:38.651
ONLY SEEK TO UNDERMINE THE

04:38.653 --> 04:39.348
ELECTION OF JOE BIDEN WITHOUT
