all you have to do is look at the basics and you'll see it looks like a very
serious event but we'll find out when they look at the documents I think
people are going to see a lot of bad things happen I hope it's not so because
if it is has never been anything like it in the history of our country we now
call it spy gate you're calling it spy gate so new tonight we could see what
evidence there is on that FBI informant who reportedly tried to infiltrate the
Trump campaign in the lead-up to the 2016 election now according to the New
York Times the White House has now ordered wider access for the classified
documents that detail that investigation in other words files once only
accessible to the gang of eight will soon be available to all the members of
the House and Senate intelligence committees to take a look at here now
Alan Dershowitz Harvard Law professor emeritus and author of the new book the
case against impeaching Trump Allen great to see you tonight thank you very
much for being here yeah what what do you think is the significance of the
fact that the White House is now going to expand the number of people who can
look into this issue of when this informant was hired and what the timing
of that tells us about what initiated this investigation in the first place
well I think it's a good development and I think ultimately the American public
has to know what went on here we may not be able to know some of the specifics
which are classified but we ought to learn the general parameters of what
happened remember I went through the situation in my life where the
government put spies the anti-war movement the civil rights movement so
every civil libertarian should be concerned about even if there's a
possibility that an informal was intruded into a political campaign
that's just not right that's just not American and you know that's why I
called for an independent nonpartisan Commission to investigate the whole
election because Moeller is not going to look into this because it's not
crime and the congressional committees are going to bicker against each other
Republicans Democrats the Republican truth is Democrat truth if you had a
nonpartisan expert Commission there'd be real truth and that's what the American
public is entitled to to find out what actually happened in this election yeah
I think everybody should want to know the answer to that question with regard
to Peter struck testimony this week here is Rudy Giuliani Laura to the president
talking about this last night take a listen most should be ashamed of
himself those Democrats trying to protect that liar
struck today should be ashamed themselves and every FBI agent I know
wants to see this guy drummed out of the bureau he's good he should be drummed
out of the bureau the idea that a man would make those kinds of statements
while he's involved in an investigation and not recuse himself he should have
recused himself and he's telling us yes I was biased but the bias didn't
influence his decisions we all know as lawyers that bias influences decisions
even unconsciously even if you don't know that's why no lawyer would ever
allow a person like me to struck to serve on a jury against somebody with
whom he had that kind of a biased approach so you know this is a serious
issue and both Democrats and Republicans did not look good yesterday but the
lowest of the low points came with congressman Cohen I think Tennessee
where he offered this guy a medal you know a medal a Purple Heart I mean what
an insult to the men and women who have been wounded and and hurt for the rest
of their lives and earn a Purple Heart to give this guy a Purple Heart because
he had some hard questions thrown to him by some belligerent congressman what an
insult to American soldiers sailors and service people yeah highly highly
inappropriate this is a tweet that Rudy Giuliani put out with regard to these
indictments that rod Rosenstein announced he says of the Russian
intelligence operatives he says the indictments rod Rosen Stein announced
her good news for all Americans the Russians are
nailed no Americans are involved time for Muller to end this pursuit of the
President and say President Trump is completely innocent your thoughts well
you know it proves this indictment proves that we never needed a special
counsel this indictment could have been brought by ordinary prosecutors ordinary
FBI a just there's no conflict here it's Russians they're going after
there's no president there's no people around the president there's no conflict
between the Attorney General the Deputy Attorney General and Americans it's all
Russians why do we need to spend twenty thirty forty million dollars have
special counsel appointed to do a routine national security investigation
number one number two we'll never find out the extent of the guilt of these
people because of course they're never gonna go on trial they're indicted but
they'll never go on trial you think the Russians are gonna extradite them you
think they're gonna travel the United States accompany Disneyland they get
arrested of course that's not going to happen so it will be the end of the
process and indictments are just one sided allegations they're not proof
Allender so it's always good to see you sir thank you very much for being here
tonight oh my it's so let's bring in Senator Lindsey Graham who we are very
happy to have with us live tonight in London senator Graham always good to see
you thanks for being here East Coast time and I'm thrilled that you're able
to because it was a just a very very very fast
what did you make of let's start first with the sort of the flip-flop that we
demonstrated there with what he said to the son I you know I gave her advice she
didn't take it they all wasn't really advice it was a gesture I think it ended
very well so NATO he goes into NATO saying yell a bunch of slackers and you
need to pay more and at the end the head of joint communicate where they said
this is a vital strategic important relationship to the United States and
the world and they're paying more he leaves here tonight I think with
probably the best relationship I've seen with him and Prime Minister may and he
goes to Russia with the windows back do you think she was sad that it was over
though anything she was waiting for the tarmac like it's always good to see the
president all the good to seemly quite frankly I
think his performance with her today was the most presidential news conference
he's had it did get a little rocky with the Sun interview but I feel good about
what he said regarding her and about a relationship you know special on
steroids but I really feel good about how NATO ended you know we're going to
meet Putin now with NATO stronger than it was before and we're going to go in
to meet Putin with may's blessing and a firm relationship between us in the
United Kingdom that's a pretty good way to approach Putin it was interesting
reading some of the comments by the MPs and as we have seen in those Parliament
meetings they go after each other pretty hard a lot Congress were always so nice
exactly my good friend from South Carolina writes to one of the
Conservative MPs said that the president was determined to insult her that he was
it was a divisive dog-whistle rhetoric that was repulsive when he talked about
changing how immigration is changing the fabric of Europe so all that could mean
that Teresa may although she had a good relationship I guess at the end we got
president she's gonna face a tough audience at home you know I think she
handled herself very well and I think it ended on a good note they talked they
went to see a joint military exercise they talked about a special relationship
at the highest level so at the end of the day I think these were too
successful engagements even though they were Iraqi NATO's going to pay more we
leave here the United Kingdom firmly together and now we're going to Putin I
want to play before we move on from the brexit and London part of the story what
he said about Boris Johnson at this point is a man waiting in the wings and
I would hazard to guess that the president had some input from Boris
Johnson before he came here in terms of you know well this is what I think is
going on here let's play the soundbite on Boris Johnson I was very saddened to
see that he was leaving government and I hope he goes back in at some point
because I think he's a very I think he's a great representative for for your
country well I'm not pitting one against the other I'm just saying I think he'd
be a great prime minister yeah I think he's got what it takes
they asked about Boris Johnson I said yeah they how would he be as a prime
minister said he'll be a great prime minister nice to me he's been saying
very good things about me as president I think he thinks I'm doing a great job I
am doing a great job that I can tell you just in case you ever noticed guess what
it came back to him at the end is that surprising well I like Boris Johnson
he's really one of my best friends in politics throughout the world and I
think it would be a good Prime Minister but we're talking about Theresa May
today I thought the president gave her a high praise said that she was tough he'd
rather have her on his side than her being an enemy I thought he was very
gracious to her and now on to Putin we got NATO's stronger not weaker we've got
a good send-off here in Great Britain and people back home who say that he
should meet with Putin our president I agree with Theresa May he should go to
Russia he should may go to Finland and meet with Putin and he should define
what a better relationship looks like well let's take a look he was asked a
little bit about you know what he was going to be discussing yeah when he went
to the Putin meeting can we play that I
know you'll ask her will we be talking about meddling and I will absolutely
bring that up I don't think you'll have any G I did it I did it you got me there
won't be a Perry Mason here I don't think but you never know what happens
right but I will absolutely firmly ask the question the Perry Mason reference
might have been lost on some of the folks in the audience but everybody else
knew what the president meant there yeah well here's the bottom line
Russia didn't beat Hillary Clinton Donald Trump did Russia did interfere in
our election and if I were the president I would not ask Putin did you do it I
would reject his denial I know you did it and if you continue to do it we'll
never have a good relationship I desire a good relationship but you got to stop
meddling in our elections you got to stop helping the Taliban in Afghanistan
you've got to stop propping up Assad and helping Iran you've got to be a better
world citizen he's a very difficult person to deal with but
Lewton when the president goes in there and you've been very outspoken in your
message to the president you say he is not your friend right and if you don't
go in there with that perspective he he could you
know engineer the Congress I have a lot of faith in President Trump you know
Bush misread Putin Putin ran over Obama cuz he was so weak in the eyes of
President Putin President Trump needs to convince President Putin that he wants a
better relationship but things have to change to get it at the end of the day
Putin doesn't respect Trump this will be a failed summit I believe that President
Trump is going to lay out what a good relationship will look like and
challenge Putin to get there and if he fails to get there that Trump's gonna
convince him unlike Bush unlike Obama you'll pay a price on my watch that's
what I predict so the big question is what's the goal with with Putin what
does he want to get out of it what's the leverage what's the exchange how do you
see that working to tell him if you continue to meddle in elections in the
United States they'll never be a good relationship help me contain Iran
because Iran is a minister the Mideast stop helping the Taliban let's fight
Isis together get Assad out of Syria and put somebody in Syria that both we both
can work with change your behavior to get a good relationship be tough when he
met kim jungnam the only reason he met him is I think Kim jong-un believes that
military force would be used by Trump if he had to he's got to convince Putin
that there's a better relationship available tween the United States and
Russia but here the terms and conditions and if he failed to meet those terms and
conditions I'm going to be your worst enemy
I could be your best friend but I could be your worst enemy and if Putin doesn't
believe that that will be a mistake all right we're out Rosen Stein came out
today and leveled an indictment against 12 members of the Russian intelligence
agencies and the military it happened right as the president was landing in
Windsor what's the impact of that news on this meeting means nothing to me
I know the Russians did it it was the Russians that hacked into the DNC that
got Clinton's emails that got Podesta as emails people in your business or
gonna have to decide do you empower a foreign government when they hack into a
political party in the United States going forward so I didn't know learn
anything I want president Trump to go to meet Putin I want a better relationship
but when Putin says I didn't do it I want President Trump to say I reject
that - now you did do it and my friend if you continue to do it and they're
coming after Republicans in 2018 nothing would please Russia more than
chaos in America that Democrats get the house and we with each other's throats
oh I worry about their Millions Russians are meddling in the mid-table know - for
the Republicans to lose the house I am well we could lose without Russia being
involved but just think about it there's fake news being pushed truly fake news
in these competitive seats our Intelligence Agency says that Russia is
still up to it and I think President Trump's got to let him know that if you
keep doing this we'll never have a good relationship Russia didn't beat Clinton
Trump beat Clinton but President Trump I want you to understand Poon's not your
friend he's not the friend of democracy he needs to fear you and respect you for
us to have a good relationship Graham thank you very good to have you laughs
thank you we're lucky that you happen to be here
