COMING OUT WHICH THE WORD IS

IT'S HISTORIC.

THAT'S WHAT THE WORD IS

THAT'S WHAT I HEAR.

AND IF IT'S HISTORIC, YOU

ARE GOING TO SEE SOMETHING.

THIS WAS SPYING ON MY

CAMPAIGN.

SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER

BEEN DONE IN THE HISTORY OF

OUR COUNTRY.

THIS WAS AN OVERTHROW

ATTEMPT AT THE PRESIDENCY.

THEY TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE

PRESIDENCY THIS IS A

DISGRACE.

PETE: THE MEDIA IS ALREADY

JUMPING THE GUN AND DOWN

PLAYING ITS FINDINGS BEFORE

THE DECEMBER 9TH RELEASE.

AINSLEY: HERE TO REACT IS

CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE OVERSIGHT

COMMITTEE AND JASON

CHAFFETZ.

PETE: AND FATHER OF TWO.

>> YES, I AM.

ED: ALL RIGHT, GRANDPA, WHAT

ARE WE GOING TO GET?

>> I DON'T THINK IT'S A

COINCIDENCE THAT DONALD

TRUMP MAKES THESE COMMENTS

LESS THAN 8 HOURS LATER.

THE "NEW YORK TIMES" AND

"THE WASHINGTON POST" ALMOST

SIMULTANEOUSLY WITHIN THE

HOUR COME OUT WITH A STORY

TRYING TO DIMINISH WHAT THE

PRESIDENT WAS SAYING.

THE INSPECTOR GENERAL HAS

NOW, IF THE REPORT IS

CORRECT, WILL BE MAKING HIS

FOURTH REFERRAL TO THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE FOR

POTENTIAL CRIMINAL

PROSECUTION OR ENTER AGENCY

DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

THAT MEANS THE DIRECTOR OF

THE FBI, THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR

OF THE FBI, THE DEPUTY

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF THE

FBI AND NOW COUNSEL WITHIN

THE FBI WOULD BE RECOMMENDED

FOR POTENTIAL CRIMINAL

PROSECUTION OR DISCIPLINARY

ACTION.

THAT IS AS SERIOUS AS IT

GETS.

RACHEL: WHAT THEY ARE TRYING

TO SAY THIS PERSON, SMITH I

GUESS IS HIS LAST NAME.

>> CLINESMITH.

RACHEL: CLINESMITH IS A LOW

LEVEL PERSON.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT

SOMEBODY THIS CLOSE TO THIS

HEAT IS A LOW LEVEL ATTORNEY

IN THE FBI?

>> THE ALLEGATION IS AS

SERIOUS AS IT GETS.

THAT IS DOCTORING

DOCUMENTATION THAT THEN GOES

TO A COURT.

THAT IS A FELONY.

THIS IS NOT SOME LOW LEVEL

PERSON.

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE HIGHEST

LEVEL OF SECURITY AT THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN

ORDER TO BE INVOLVED IN

THIS.

THIS ATTORNEY WAS ALSO

INVOLVED IN THE CLINTON

EMAIL SCANDAL.

THIS FISA ABUSE ISSUE.

HE WAS ALSO PART OF THE

MUELLER TEAM OR AT LEAST

ASSIGNED TO PART OF THE

TEAM.

SO, THE HIGHEST PROFILE CASE

IS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF

JUSTICE, THIS WAS THE

ATTORNEY WORKING ON THOSE

CASES.

SO, THIS ARTICLE TRIES TO

DIMINISH HIM AS SOME LOW

LEVEL PERSON WHO, YOU KNOW,

PROBABLY WENT ROGUE, BUT

THAT'S THE PERSON THAT THEY

USED AND DOCTORING THE

DOCUMENTATION TO SPY ON A

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.

THAT'S PRETTY SERIOUS.

PETE: COULD IT BE SO BIG

THAT IT CHANGES THE

CONVERSATION?

WE HAVE SEEN HOW POTENTIALLY

THE HEARINGS IN THE HOUSE

COMMITTEE MAY END UP BOOMER

RANKING AGAINST THE

DEMOCRATS.

DOES IT GET IN THIS TOWN AND

ELSEWHERE TO ACKNOWLEDGE

WHAT HAPPENED IN 2016.

THAT'S A HEAVY LIFT.

THE IDEA THAT THE MAINSTREAM

MEDIA IS GOING TO PAY

ATTENTION TO THIS.

I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.

THIS IS SERIOUS STUFF.

IT IS REAL.

IT IS BASED ON FACT.

HOROWITZ WAS APPOINTED BY

PRESIDENT OBAMA, UNANIMOUSLY

CONFIRMED TO THE UNITED

STATES SENATE.

HE HAS TAKEN A YEAR AND A

HALF TO DO IT.

AND IT'S JUST THE PRECURSOR,

IF YOU WILL.

TO WHAT MR. DURNL IS DOING.

THE U.S. ATTORNEY WHO CAN

THEN POTENTIALLY PROSECUTE

PEOPLE.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE

HAVEN'T SEEN JURVE IN

WASHINGTON, D.C.

WE'LL HAVEN'T SEEN PEOPLE IN

HANDCUFFS.

AND CLINESMITH, IS PROBABLY

THE LEADING CANDIDATE TO DO

THAT.

ED: JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES

COMEY, ARE THEY GOING TO

SKATE AGAIN.

RACHEL: THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE

THINKS.

>> I'M WORRIED THAT'S THE

CASE.

HIGHEST LEVEL AT THE FBI,

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

I DO THINK BRENNAN AND

CLAPPER, THE D&I AND THE CIA

WILL ALSO BE IMPLICATED IN

THIS REPORT.

LINDSEY GRAHAM WILL TAKE

THIS VERY SERIOUSLY, WHEN

THE REPORT COMES OUT ON
