WITHOUT A HOUSE INQUIRY VOTE TO

LAUNCH IT.

>> Julie: MATT GAETZ,

REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF THE HOUSE

JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, HE IS

MAKING A POINT THAT HE SHOULD BE

INVOLVED IN THE IMPEACHMENT.

HOWEVER, HE'S NOT ON THE THREE

COMMITTEES RUNNING THE INQUIRY.

HERE'S WHAT HE BELIEVES, AS FAR

AS TRANSPARENCY IS CONCERNED,

AND WHAT HE CALLS A "KANGAROO

COURT."

LET'S LISTEN.

>> WHY IS ADAM SCHIFF TRYING TO

RUN A KANGAROO COURT?

WHY IS HE CONTINUING TO LIMIT

ASSETS DONE LIKE

ACCESS?

I'M DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED, THAT IS

A MEMBER OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE COME ON THE DELL MIGHT

BE HALF OF MY CONSTITUENTS, I'M

UNABLE TO PURCHASE PAID IN

LISTEN TO THE QUESTIONS AND

ANSWERS.

>> Julie: SPEAKING ABOUT THAT,

HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE RIPPING

THE FACT THAT THE INTERVIEWS ARE

BEING HELD BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

>> THEY SAY WE CAN'T WIN THIS IN

THE PUBLIC EYE, SO WE WILL TAKE

IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.

IN THE LAST FEW DAYS THEY HAVE

TAKEN IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS,

ADAM SCHIFF, WHO HAS TROUBLE

TELLING THE TRUTH, MUCH LESS

SPELLING IT.

HE'S A VERY GOOD LEAGUER, BUT AS

LONG AS HE CAN KEEP IT BEHIND

CLOSED DOORS THEY CAN LEAK OUT

ONLY WHAT THEY WANT TO LEAK

OUT.

THIS IS WHY YOU'VE SEEN THIS

PROGRESSION UP TO THIS POINT.

>> Julie: SOME TOP DEMOCRAT

ADAM SCHIFF, SUGGEST THAT THE

REPUBLICANS ARE BAD INTENTIONS.

WE WILL PLAY THIS AS WELL AND

HAVE YOU REACT.

>> THE REPUBLICANS WOULD LIKE

NOTHING BETTER, BECAUSE THEY

VIEW THEIR ROLE AS DEFENDING THE

PRESIDENT, BEING THAT IT'S THE

PRESIDENT'S LAWYERS.

IF THEY COULD TAILOR THEIR

TESTIMONY TO OTHER WITNESSES.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE MEET THE

NEEDS OF THE INVESTIGATION AND

NOT GIVE THE PRESIDENT OR HIS

LEGAL MINIONS THE OPPORTUNITY TO

TAILOR THEIR TESTIMONY AND IN

SOME CASES FABRICATE TESTIMONY

TO SUIT THEIR INTERESTS.

>> Julie: NOW I NEED YOU TO

REPLY.

[LAUGHS]

>> THERE'S A LOT THERE TO

DIGEST.

MATT GAETZ IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG

DEFENDER PRESIDENT TRUMP'S AND

HE IS TRYING TO GET IN THERE TO

LISTEN TO THE TESTIMONY

FIRSTHAND.

HE IS A MEMBER OF THE JUDICIARY

COMMITTEE.

THEY ARE INVOLVED IN THE

IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY, BUT NOT

ARTICULATE THAT COMMITTEE THAT

WAS HEARING THAT WITNESS.

ADAM SCHIFF KICKED HIM OUT OF

THE ROOM.

AS FAR AS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS,

IT IS THEIR CHOICE.

THEY WON THE ELECTION IN 2018.

THEY WILL RUN THIS SHOW.

THE BIGGEST THING FOR DEMOCRATS

IS THEY HAVE TO PROVE TO THE

AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT THIS IS THE

RIGHT MOVE FORWARD.

EVENTUALLY ALL THIS HAS TO

BECOME PUBLIC BEYOND LEAKED OUT

INFORMATION AND NEWSPAPERS.

IT HAS TO BE FRONT AND CENTER

BECAUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE TO MAKE

THEIR CASE TO THE AMERICAN

PEOPLE IN ORDER FOR AN

IMPEACHMENT TO STICK, LET ALONE

FOR A CHILD TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN

THE SENATE.

>> Julie: THERE IS NOW THIS

ONGOING DISPUTE BEHIND CLOSED

DOORS AS TO WHO GETS TO WITNESS

THIS WITNESS TESTIFYING.

MATT GAETZ IS BASICALLY SAYING

HE HAS TO BE IN THERE.

HE TRIED, HE SHOWED UP, HE

WANTED TO SIT IN ON THE

INTERVIEW.

THEIR QUESTION WHETHER HE SHOULD

BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SHOULD HE?

WHO GETS TO BE INSIDE THESE

INTERVIEWS?

>> THE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN

DECIDES WHAT THE RULES ARE.

MATT GAETZ IS NOT ON THOSE

COMMITTEES THAT ARE HANDLING THE

INTERVIEWS.

AGAIN, ONCE YOU WIN THE ELECTION

AT THE MIDTERM, YOU CONTROL THE

COMMITTEE AND YOU MAKE THE

RULES.

THESE ARE THE RULES THEY ARE

PLAYING BY.
