I've ordered

Good to meet you, Mr. President.
78
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:09,421
- You, too.
- I should confess, sir,
79
00:04:09,521 --> 00:04:11,303
I supported John McCain.
80
00:04:11,403 --> 00:04:12,745
And Romney.
81
00:04:12,845 --> 00:04:14,847
I know.
82
00:04:16,048 --> 00:04:17,510

83
00:04:17,610 --> 00:04:19,612
So...
84
00:04:20,613 --> 00:04:21,995
Why...
85
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:24,397
should I hire you
to run the Bureau?
86
00:04:24,497 --> 00:04:26,399
Why shouldn't I pick, say...
87
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:27,961
oh, someone who supports
88
00:04:28,061 --> 00:04:29,963
my criminal justice reform
initiative?
89
00:04:30,063 --> 00:04:31,765
Uh, you could, Mr. President,
90
00:04:31,865 --> 00:04:34,808
and that's an issue on which
reasonable people can disagree.
91
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:38,012
But I believe stiffer sentencing
laws have, on the whole,
92
00:04:38,112 --> 00:04:39,573
made the country safer.
93
00:04:39,673 --> 00:04:41,255
A lot of Americans
aren't dead today
94
00:04:41,355 --> 00:04:43,818
because the guys who might
have killed them were locked up.
95
00:04:43,918 --> 00:04:47,662
Well, still, it might be easier
for me to have an FBI director
96
00:04:47,762 --> 00:04:50,465
- who agrees with me.
- Well, that's true, but...
97
00:04:50,565 --> 00:04:52,747
you've always struck me
as one of those leaders
98
00:04:52,847 --> 00:04:55,990
who gains just as much
from thoughtful disagreement.
99
00:04:56,090 --> 00:04:57,472
Hmm.
100
00:04:57,572 --> 00:05:00,435
You garnered
a lot of attention for a...
101
00:05:00,535 --> 00:05:03,318
well, taking on the Mob
as prosecutor
102
00:05:03,418 --> 00:05:05,080
and defending the DOJ in '04.
103
00:05:05,180 --> 00:05:06,602
I suppose that's true.
104
00:05:06,702 --> 00:05:08,824
Do you need a lot of attention?
105
00:05:11,266 --> 00:05:13,409
That's not a huge driver for me.
106
00:05:13,509 --> 00:05:16,492
No, uh, interest in politics
down the line?
107
00:05:16,592 --> 00:05:18,614
- None.
- Good.
108
00:05:18,714 --> 00:05:20,376
Politicians are awful.
109
00:05:20,476 --> 00:05:22,138
- [chuckles]
- Advisor of mine says
110
00:05:22,238 --> 00:05:24,300
you were a...
an outstanding deputy A.G.
111
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,062
- Thank you.
- He also says
112
00:05:26,162 --> 00:05:29,426
you can be self-righteous
and, uh, morally superior.
113
00:05:29,526 --> 00:05:33,029
Your advisor sounds like
an excellent judge of character.
114
00:05:33,129 --> 00:05:35,428
[laughs softly] What else do I
need to know about you, Jim?
115
00:05:35,452 --> 00:05:37,270
What do you... what do you think
your weaknesses are?
116
00:05:37,294 --> 00:05:38,755
Well...
117
00:05:38,855 --> 00:05:42,079
um, sometimes
I can be impulsive and...
118
00:05:42,179 --> 00:05:44,682
convince myself
I'm being decisive.
119
00:05:44,782 --> 00:05:46,844
How's your health?
Any recurrence?
120
00:05:46,944 --> 00:05:49,166
None, sir.
Clean scans for seven years now.
121
00:05:49,266 --> 00:05:50,808
Hmm. Because, uh,
122
00:05:50,908 --> 00:05:53,130
there's no pressure
in any private sector job
123
00:05:53,230 --> 00:05:55,133
equivalent to the burden
of national security.
124
00:05:55,233 --> 00:05:57,175
- That's understood.
- The director can be
125
00:05:57,275 --> 00:05:58,937
a whipping boy for Congress.
126
00:05:59,037 --> 00:06:00,618
And you certainly wouldn't make
127
00:06:00,718 --> 00:06:02,700
what the private sector
can pay you.
128
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,044
Given all that, why would you
want to come back to government?
129
00:06:07,846 --> 00:06:11,510
When I was, uh, 16...
130
00:06:11,610 --> 00:06:14,713
a man in a knit cap
broke into our house
131
00:06:14,813 --> 00:06:17,316
and put a gun
to my kid brother's head.
132
00:06:17,416 --> 00:06:20,459
He said, "You move,
and I will blow his head off."
133
00:06:22,221 --> 00:06:25,885
The guy had been terrorizing
our neighborhood for months.
134
00:06:25,985 --> 00:06:29,168
They called him
the Ramsey Rapist.
135
00:06:29,268 --> 00:06:32,692
I showed him where my parents
kept their few valuables
136
00:06:32,792 --> 00:06:35,355
and begged him not to kill us.
137
00:06:36,996 --> 00:06:39,059
For some reason, he didn't.
138
00:06:39,159 --> 00:06:41,681
Just locked us
in the basement and left.
139
00:06:46,486 --> 00:06:49,930
I slept with a butcher knife
in my bed for years.
140
00:06:52,012 --> 00:06:55,196
The guy was never caught,
so I had this...
141
00:06:55,296 --> 00:06:59,480
"what if" tape in my head.
142

when he does?"

There's not a lot of talent
in the pipeline,
179
00:08:46,813 --> 00:08:48,475
not even for deputy.
180
00:08:48,575 --> 00:08:51,998
You need somebody
who's ready politically.
181
00:08:52,098 --> 00:08:54,881
The FBI is the world
of the bank shot.
182
00:08:54,981 --> 00:08:57,925
Director Mueller, this is
the promotion for the SAC
183
00:08:58,025 --> 00:09:00,607
- in the Kansas City office.
- Okay.
184
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:03,030
Keep your eye on Cyber.
185
00:09:04,471 --> 00:09:08,055
We're hugely vulnerable
to a coordinated attack.
186
00:09:08,155 --> 00:09:09,457
- Bob?
- Yeah?
187
00:09:09,557 --> 00:09:12,420
Shouldn't we discuss
what you're signing?
188
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,303
- What for?
- That's a senior executive
189
00:09:15,403 --> 00:09:17,745
who's going to be reporting
to me in a week.
190
00:09:17,845 --> 00:09:20,108
Can I know who he is
and why you're promoting...
191
00:09:20,208 --> 00:09:22,210
You want it, take it.
192
00:09:26,294 --> 00:09:29,858
I don't want it;
I just wanted to discuss it.
193
00:09:32,181 --> 00:09:34,964
A word of advice, Jim.
194
00:09:35,064 --> 00:09:38,367
If you've been doing this
for ten years,
195
00:09:38,467 --> 00:09:42,692
and a president asks you
to stay on for another two,
196
00:09:42,792 --> 00:09:44,654
say no.
197
00:09:44,754 --> 00:09:47,176
[Comey]
You should know that I have
198
00:09:47,276 --> 00:09:48,858
several expectations of you.
199
00:09:48,958 --> 00:09:51,100
I expect you to work hard,
200
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,223
because you owe that
to the taxpayer.
201
00:09:53,323 --> 00:09:56,106
I expect you
to exercise good judgment.
202
00:09:56,206 --> 00:09:59,429
Being here means
you have the power to do good,
203
00:09:59,529 --> 00:10:02,673
or, if you abuse that power,
great harm.
204
00:10:02,773 --> 00:10:05,996
I expect you to find joy
in your work.
205
00:10:06,096 --> 00:10:10,161
You are part of an organization
devoted to doing good,
206
00:10:10,261 --> 00:10:13,604
protecting the weak,
rescuing the taken,
207
00:10:13,704 --> 00:10:15,606
and catching criminals.
208
00:10:15,706 --> 00:10:19,650
That is work with moral content.
209
00:10:19,750 --> 00:10:23,214
Doing it should be a source
of great joy.
210
00:10:23,314 --> 00:10:25,777
And I expect you to protect
this institution's reservoir
211
00:10:25,877 --> 00:10:27,979
of trust and credibility,
212
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:30,642
which makes possible
all of our work.
213
00:10:32,484 --> 00:10:34,586
I expect you
to fight for balance
214
00:10:34,686 --> 00:10:37,429
in your lives.
215
00:10:37,529 --> 00:10:39,471
You are all driven
by our mission,
216
00:10:39,571 --> 00:10:41,994
and you are used
to absorbing stress.
217
00:10:42,094 --> 00:10:45,798
That means you need more time
with your loved ones, not less.
218
00:10:45,898 --> 00:10:47,159
So...
219
00:10:47,259 --> 00:10:51,344
I order you to love someone.
220
00:10:52,825 --> 00:10:54,968
It's the right thing to do.
221
00:10:55,068 --> 00:10:57,470
- It's also good for you.
- [scattered laughter]
222
00:10:59,072 --> 00:11:02,616
Crime in any form
makes people feel powerless.
223
00:11:02,716 --> 00:11:04,718
Let's fix that.
224
00:11:12,926 --> 00:11:13,948
Oh. No, no, no.
225
00:11:14,048 --> 00:11:15,749
I'm-I'm okay. I'll wait.
226
00:11:15,849 --> 00:11:17,852
Thanks.
227
00:11:18,933 --> 00:11:20,935
Hi. Jim.
228
00:11:22,977 --> 00:11:24,358
Pam.
229
00:11:24,458 --> 00:11:26,040
What do you do here?
230
00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:28,222
Counterterrorism analyst.
231
00:11:29,784 --> 00:11:32,527
What did you do before?
What-what drew you here?
232
00:11:32,627 --> 00:11:35,851
9/11. I was an analyst
at Cantor Fitzgerald.
233
00:11:35,951 --> 00:11:38,413
Missed work that day
because of the flu.
234
00:11:38,513 --> 00:11:40,515
Thanks, Pam.
235
00:11:41,436 --> 00:11:43,338
Thank you, Pam. [chuckles]
236
00:11:43,438 --> 00:11:45,821
Saved my spot. [sniffs]
237
00:11:45,921 --> 00:11:47,543
What do you do here?
238
00:11:47,643 --> 00:11:50,386
Hmm? Uh, computer tech,
Counterintel.
239
00:11:50,486 --> 00:11:53,589
What were you before?
What-what called you here?
240
00:11:53,689 --> 00:11:55,271
I worked for Monsanto.
241
00:11:55,371 --> 00:11:56,873
Hated it.
242
00:11:56,973 --> 00:11:58,915
What do you do here?
243
00:11:59,015 --> 00:12:00,476
I'm the director.
244
00:12:00,576 --> 00:12:01,838
Oh, yeah?
245
00:12:01,938 --> 00:12:04,000
The director of what?
246
00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,803
In his first two years
at the Bureau,
247
00:12:06,903 --> 00:12:10,247
Jim did everything you'd expect
a Boy Scout to do.
248
00:12:10,347 --> 00:12:12,449
He visited all 56 field offices
249
00:12:12,549 --> 00:12:14,571
and dozens more overseas,
250
00:12:14,671 --> 00:12:17,294
charming each and every one
251
00:12:17,394 --> 00:12:20,618
of the Bureau's
37,000 employees.
252
00:12:20,718 --> 00:12:22,460
He was adored.
253
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:24,021
Loved.
254
00:12:24,121 --> 00:12:25,743
Nothing slowed him.
255
00:12:25,843 --> 00:12:28,586
There were, you know,
kidnappings...
256
00:12:28,686 --> 00:12:30,788
lone shooters, terror plots.
257
00:12:30,888 --> 00:12:33,391
[reporter] ISIS is not
your parents' al-Qaeda.
258
00:12:33,491 --> 00:12:35,593
The FBI nabbed
at least six people.
259
00:12:35,693 --> 00:12:38,877
The battle between Apple
and the FBI.
260
00:12:38,977 --> 00:12:40,679
Iran hacks into
the control system
261
00:12:40,779 --> 00:12:42,481
of an American dam.
262
00:12:42,581 --> 00:12:44,803
[Rosenstein] Yet his
sunniness was undimmed.
263
00:12:44,903 --> 00:12:46,164
Until...
264
00:12:46,264 --> 00:12:47,326
[Giuliano] Good morning.
265
00:12:47,426 --> 00:12:49,488
[others] Morning.
266
00:12:49,588 --> 00:12:52,451
What did the analysts
pull together?
267
00:12:52,551 --> 00:12:54,814
What's in the PDB?
268
00:12:54,914 --> 00:12:56,615
[McCabe] Got a potential
issue in the U.K.
269
00:12:56,715 --> 00:12:58,658
Getting chatter
that AQAP is going to hit
270
00:12:58,758 --> 00:13:00,780
another airliner
bound for the U.S.
271
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,302
JTF is reporting, uh,
272
00:13:03,402 --> 00:13:05,305
chatter in New York
indicating the same thing.
273
00:13:05,405 --> 00:13:07,062
We don't know yet
where they'll be flying from
274
00:13:07,086 --> 00:13:08,548
or what techniques
they'll be using.
275
00:13:08,648 --> 00:13:09,949
Do we have a time frame on this?
276
00:13:10,049 --> 00:13:12,632
Nothing specific,
just increased chatter.
277
00:13:12,732 --> 00:13:14,590
Is it something the boss needs
to brief the A.G. on?
278
00:13:14,614 --> 00:13:17,077
- Not yet.
- What else?
279
00:13:17,177 --> 00:13:19,519
Operation in Detroit
that's ready to go down.
280
00:13:19,619 --> 00:13:21,762
Guy at a mosque there
told an informant yesterday
281
00:13:21,862 --> 00:13:24,084
he was planning to target
a Jewish children's center.
282
00:13:24,184 --> 00:13:25,085
Do we have enough to charge?
283
00:13:25,185 --> 00:13:26,727
- Yes.
- Do we have the right
284
00:13:26,827 --> 00:13:28,485
resources on the ground,
good takedown plan?
285
00:13:28,509 --> 00:13:30,211
We do. We'll give them
to you off-line.
286
00:13:30,311 --> 00:13:32,333
Okay. Let's skinny down
for the director.
287
00:13:32,433 --> 00:13:33,334
[door opens]
288
00:13:33,434 --> 00:13:36,738
Mark, we got an I.G. referral
289
00:13:36,838 --> 00:13:38,139
on Clinton and her e-mails.
290
00:13:38,239 --> 00:13:40,241
We're gonna have to open a case.
291
00:13:42,443 --> 00:13:44,446
Say more.
292
00:13:46,608 --> 00:13:48,870
- Boss.
- What's up?
293
00:13:48,970 --> 00:13:50,272
Got a referral
294
00:13:50,372 --> 00:13:51,753
from the intel I.G.
295
00:13:51,853 --> 00:13:53,855
about Secretary Clinton's
e-mails.
296
00:13:55,337 --> 00:13:57,339
We're gonna have to open a case.
297
00:13:57,820 --> 00:13:59,481
Say more.
298
00:13:59,581 --> 00:14:02,164
Secretary Clinton's aides
didn't hand over her e-mails
299
00:14:02,264 --> 00:14:04,727
to government records...
Is that a failure
300
00:14:04,827 --> 00:14:06,008
or is that an oversight?
301
00:14:06,108 --> 00:14:08,131
Well, it's a failure
to comply with the law
302
00:14:08,231 --> 00:14:10,013
that the secretary had
to know about,
303
00:14:10,113 --> 00:14:12,055
that her aides had
to know about.
304
00:14:12,155 --> 00:14:15,018
And it's a pattern of deception
that began from before
305
00:14:15,118 --> 00:14:17,941
she became secretary
until her last day.
306
00:14:18,041 --> 00:14:19,543
But I am a little bit worried
307
00:14:19,643 --> 00:14:21,865
about the-the security
of those e-mails.
308
00:14:21,965 --> 00:14:24,187
Uh, they would've been, uh,
309
00:14:24,287 --> 00:14:26,830
prime targets
for cyber, uh, attacks.
310
00:14:26,930 --> 00:14:29,553
They haven't given us
e-mails for nine of the ten
311
00:14:29,653 --> 00:14:31,355
senior aides that she had.
312
00:14:31,455 --> 00:14:33,197
It's been over a year.
313
00:14:33,297 --> 00:14:34,714
Well, let's start
from the beginning.
314
00:14:34,738 --> 00:14:36,801
Everything I did was permitted.
315
00:14:36,901 --> 00:14:39,203
"Did she mishandle
classified information
316
00:14:39,303 --> 00:14:41,165
by using her personal
e-mail system
317
00:14:41,265 --> 00:14:43,668
while serving
as Secretary of State?"
318
00:14:49,634 --> 00:14:50,896
You know you're screwed, right?
319
00:14:50,996 --> 00:14:54,019
I do not see
a positive outcome here
320
00:14:54,119 --> 00:14:56,121
no matter what we find.
321
00:14:58,163 --> 00:15:00,926
Just do it right.
322
00:15:04,610 --> 00:15:06,612
Welcome to your new home.
323
00:15:08,654 --> 00:15:10,796
I want to say something
before we start,
324
00:15:10,896 --> 00:15:13,739
which I know you all
already know.
325
00:15:15,021 --> 00:15:17,764
Whatever this investigation
yields,
326
00:15:17,864 --> 00:15:22,048
history will look at what we do
here through a microscope,
327
00:15:22,148 --> 00:15:24,851
so our work needs
to be letter-perfect.
328
00:15:24,951 --> 00:15:26,893
No leaks,
everything buttoned down.
329
00:15:26,993 --> 00:15:30,537
We cannot cut corners,
cannot screw this up in any way.
330
00:15:30,637 --> 00:15:33,140
Is that clear?
331
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,585
Now, this is not going to
become some kind of octopus.
332
00:15:37,685 --> 00:15:39,667
We're not gonna
chase down spills
333
00:15:39,767 --> 00:15:42,390
to the ends of the earth,
which could take a decade.
334
00:15:42,490 --> 00:15:44,632
We're looking
for "corrupt purpose."
335
00:15:44,732 --> 00:15:48,716
Did Secretary Clinton
knowingly break the law
336
00:15:48,816 --> 00:15:51,119
either by using
a personal e-mail server
337
00:15:51,219 --> 00:15:53,121
to handle classified information
338
00:15:53,221 --> 00:15:54,683
while serving at State,
339
00:15:54,783 --> 00:15:57,045
or by directing
the deletion of e-mails
340
00:15:57,145 --> 00:15:59,548
from that server? Period.
341
00:16:01,029 --> 00:16:03,252
I want to be briefed
on this thing every day.
342
00:16:03,352 --> 00:16:04,693
Pete?
343
00:16:04,793 --> 00:16:07,736
We have three primary lines
of inquiry.
344
00:16:07,836 --> 00:16:09,738
One, the collection
and examination
345
00:16:09,838 --> 00:16:12,581
of e-mails that traversed
Secretary Clinton's servers.
346
00:16:12,681 --> 00:16:14,463
Her attorneys have produced
some of those,
347
00:16:14,563 --> 00:16:18,548
but 31,830 e-mails
deemed too personal
348
00:16:18,648 --> 00:16:21,551
by her attorneys to submit
to the State Department
349
00:16:21,651 --> 00:16:23,433
have been wiped
from her current server.
350
00:16:23,533 --> 00:16:25,755
Two, interviews
of relevant witnesses
351
00:16:25,855 --> 00:16:27,797
who wiped all those files off
Secretary Clinton's
352
00:16:27,897 --> 00:16:29,399
server using BleachBit.
353
00:16:29,499 --> 00:16:32,122
Three, Secretary Clinton used
these devices overseas,
354
00:16:32,222 --> 00:16:35,445
often within the borders
of sophisticated adversaries.
355
00:16:35,545 --> 00:16:37,768
So... analysis.
356
00:16:37,868 --> 00:16:40,611
Did that lead to classified
information being compromised
357
00:16:40,711 --> 00:16:42,293
by hostile cyber actors?
358
00:16:42,393 --> 00:16:45,336
Intrusion analysis has
already begun.
359
00:16:45,436 --> 00:16:47,979
OTD will image all
of Secretary Clinton's devices,
360
00:16:48,079 --> 00:16:50,942
including the two servers
we currently have in custody.
361
00:16:51,042 --> 00:16:53,020
And a filter team will
remove any material privileged
362
00:16:53,044 --> 00:16:55,346
by attorney-client,
medical or marital,
363
00:16:55,446 --> 00:16:57,188
and attempt deduplication.
364
00:16:57,288 --> 00:16:58,990
We are also sending
preservation requests
365
00:16:59,090 --> 00:17:02,874
to the State Department,
the CIA, DIA, DOD and EOP
366
00:17:02,974 --> 00:17:05,197
for e-mails
from Secretary Clinton
367
00:17:05,297 --> 00:17:08,080
or the clintonaccount.net
domain.
368
00:17:08,180 --> 00:17:09,882
Are there any questions?
369
00:17:09,982 --> 00:17:13,245
Yeah, are we stuck with
the two chickenshit prosecutors
370
00:17:13,345 --> 00:17:15,768
Justice has assigned
or can we demand somebody
371
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,369
with actual balls?
372
00:17:17,469 --> 00:17:19,091
We're looking into that.
373
00:17:19,191 --> 00:17:21,093
Those two are zeros.
374
00:17:21,193 --> 00:17:22,535
Is there anything else?
375
00:17:22,635 --> 00:17:24,092
[Giuliano]
Do you have all the resources
376
00:17:24,116 --> 00:17:25,338
you need? Do you need anything
377
00:17:25,438 --> 00:17:26,815
pushed up the chain
across the street?
378
00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:28,017
[Strzok]
We'll let you know, Mark.
379
00:17:28,041 --> 00:17:30,043
Thank you.
380
00:17:31,204 --> 00:17:32,385
Okay, now I'm pissed off.
381
00:17:32,485 --> 00:17:34,263
Midyear's gonna be run out
of NSD at headquarters
382
00:17:34,287 --> 00:17:36,630
by a deputy... how the fuck is
that supposed to work?
383
00:17:36,730 --> 00:17:38,552
Fucking D.C....
Those guys couldn't find
384
00:17:38,652 --> 00:17:40,554
an elephant in the middle
of Yankee Stadium.
385
00:17:40,654 --> 00:17:43,237
And the prosecutors
down there are even worse.
386
00:17:43,337 --> 00:17:45,719
Boss... we have venue
on this one.
387
00:17:45,819 --> 00:17:47,517
- You gonna put up with this?
- Gee, fellas.
388
00:17:47,541 --> 00:17:50,124
You having trouble finding joy
in your work today?
389
00:17:50,224 --> 00:17:51,766
Relax.
390
00:17:51,866 --> 00:17:53,728
Everything comes
through here eventually.
391
00:17:53,828 --> 00:17:55,409
- Right?
- Fucking A.
392
00:17:55,509 --> 00:17:57,772
Fucking A.
393
00:17:57,872 --> 00:17:59,253
Tell me about Midyear.
394
00:17:59,353 --> 00:18:00,873
Do you have all
the resources you need?
395
00:18:00,955 --> 00:18:02,297
Sort of.
396
00:18:02,397 --> 00:18:04,219
Hillary's lawyers are
slow-walking everything,
397
00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:06,781
and no one at Justice is
doing anything to stop it.
398
00:18:06,881 --> 00:18:09,144
Her lead guy is David Kendall.
399
00:18:09,244 --> 00:18:12,467
One of the prosecutors
used to work for him, so...
400
00:18:12,567 --> 00:18:14,109
there's an intimidation there.
401
00:18:14,209 --> 00:18:16,071
Midyear team's getting
frustrated with it.
402
00:18:16,171 --> 00:18:17,873
I'll take care of it, thank you.
403
00:18:17,973 --> 00:18:19,995
How's Judy?
404
00:18:20,095 --> 00:18:21,637
She's good.
405
00:18:21,737 --> 00:18:23,839
So this 18 months
you signed up for,
406
00:18:23,939 --> 00:18:27,303
how would feel about
making that 24 months?
407
00:18:30,106 --> 00:18:32,548
Now I understand
the picnic setting.
408
00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:37,133
I need to make some
actual money, boss.
409
00:18:37,233 --> 00:18:38,655
We're strapped.
410
00:18:38,755 --> 00:18:40,537
Apartment here,
house in Atlanta,
411
00:18:40,637 --> 00:18:42,659
two college tuitions.
412
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:46,343
If I want to get home, I have
to drive ten hours because
413
00:18:46,443 --> 00:18:48,445
I can't afford to fly.
414
00:18:49,526 --> 00:18:51,528
I'm sorry.
415
00:18:53,330 --> 00:18:55,833
But I've got no one
to replace you, Mark.
416
00:18:55,933 --> 00:18:57,675
No one's ready.
417
00:18:57,775 --> 00:18:59,437
And the Bureau can't function
418
00:18:59,537 --> 00:19:02,099
without a deputy who commands
the respect you do.
419
00:19:04,662 --> 00:19:06,664
I made her a promise, boss.
420
00:19:13,231 --> 00:19:15,093
We're steaming towards
an iceberg.
421
00:19:15,193 --> 00:19:16,535
You know that.
422
00:19:16,635 --> 00:19:18,857
Do you see anybody
who's ready to step in
423
00:19:18,957 --> 00:19:21,340
and do the job at your level,
day one, no drop-off,
424
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,442
nothing gets missed?
425
00:19:24,723 --> 00:19:27,206
Just six more.
426
00:19:30,409 --> 00:19:32,191
[Claire] Mom, you can breathe.
427
00:19:32,291 --> 00:19:33,869
- She's gonna win.
- You don't know that.
428
00:19:33,893 --> 00:19:35,875
- Who's gonna beat her?
- Trump.
429
00:19:35,975 --> 00:19:37,397
Trump?
430
00:19:37,497 --> 00:19:38,678
He's an idiot.
431
00:19:38,778 --> 00:19:39,879
But he's a man.
432
00:19:39,979 --> 00:19:41,259
And male voters are gender-loyal
433
00:19:41,341 --> 00:19:43,243
in a way that women aren't.
434
00:19:43,343 --> 00:19:45,605
And he isn't being
investigated by anyone.
435
00:19:45,705 --> 00:19:46,806
Yeah.
436
00:19:46,906 --> 00:19:48,969
What's up with that, Dad?
437
00:19:49,069 --> 00:19:51,091
If she broke the law,
wouldn't you want to know?
438
00:19:51,191 --> 00:19:53,093
No, not really.
439
00:19:53,193 --> 00:19:55,976
- Me, neither.
- [phone ringing]
440
00:19:56,076 --> 00:19:57,938
Hey, Mark, what's up?
441
00:19:58,038 --> 00:19:59,860
Boss, sorry to hit you
on a Sunday.
442
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:01,942
Uh, you got a second?
It's important.
443
00:20:02,042 --> 00:20:04,044
Okay.
444
00:20:06,527 --> 00:20:08,549
- Go.
- Russia.
445
00:20:08,649 --> 00:20:11,312
Some anomalous behavior
concerning the election.
446
00:20:11,412 --> 00:20:13,995
What kind of anomalous behavior?
447
00:20:14,095 --> 00:20:16,998
[camera shutter clicking]
448
00:20:17,098 --> 00:20:18,898
[Giuliano] We think
they're trying to sabotage
449
00:20:18,940 --> 00:20:20,682
Secretary Clinton's campaign.
450
00:20:20,782 --> 00:20:22,804
How?
451
00:20:22,904 --> 00:20:25,187
Ever spend much time
on Facebook?
452
00:20:55,458 --> 00:20:57,461
[woman laughs]
453
00:21:10,074 --> 00:21:12,076
[mouse clicking]
454
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,344
Donald Trump clearly,
uh, is-is scheduled,
455
00:21:19,444 --> 00:21:21,786
at this point, to win
the Republican nomination.
456
00:21:21,886 --> 00:21:24,429
It's not just
that he's ahead by so much.
457
00:21:24,529 --> 00:21:26,111
It's the ways
in which he's ahead.
458
00:21:26,211 --> 00:21:29,314
The Trump supporters see
Trump as political chemo.
459
00:21:29,414 --> 00:21:32,638
He may be toxic, he may
kill every healthy cell
460
00:21:32,738 --> 00:21:34,440
in the bloodstream,
461
00:21:34,540 --> 00:21:37,643
but he is the only cure for
the cancer that is Washington...
462
00:21:37,743 --> 00:21:39,165
Okay.
463
00:21:39,265 --> 00:21:41,487
Secretary Clinton was
a part of 81 e-mail chains,
464
00:21:41,587 --> 00:21:45,451
containing 193 e-mails ranging
from confidential to top secret,
465
00:21:45,551 --> 00:21:47,894
all sent
from unclassified systems.
466
00:21:47,994 --> 00:21:49,896
That's staff failure.
467
00:21:49,996 --> 00:21:51,377
Tell me why.
468
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:53,700
On sensitive material,
staff is supposed
469
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,623
to include headers or footers
with classification markings.
470
00:21:56,723 --> 00:21:58,265
That's how these things
get flagged.
471
00:21:58,365 --> 00:22:00,507
It's standard.
Her staff didn't do it.
472
00:22:00,607 --> 00:22:02,950
But she knew the material
was sensitive
473
00:22:03,050 --> 00:22:05,112
and she knew the systems
were unprotected.
474
00:22:05,212 --> 00:22:06,513
Let's chase that down later.
475
00:22:06,613 --> 00:22:08,515
Where are we
with Huma Abedin's e-mails?
476
00:22:08,615 --> 00:22:11,158
I asked. Justice doesn't feel
the need to get a warrant,
477
00:22:11,258 --> 00:22:13,441
because Abedin's
work for Clinton was
478
00:22:13,541 --> 00:22:15,483
"administrative in nature
479
00:22:15,583 --> 00:22:18,566
and she was never an originator
of classified materials."
480
00:22:18,666 --> 00:22:20,128
But she could have been
a forwarder
481
00:22:20,228 --> 00:22:22,250
of classified materials;
she could have taken stuff
482
00:22:22,350 --> 00:22:25,053
off of classified systems
and dumped it down.
483
00:22:25,153 --> 00:22:27,335
They're just too fucking
scared to walk
484
00:22:27,435 --> 00:22:29,093
into Williams & Connolly
and tell David Kendall
485
00:22:29,117 --> 00:22:31,419
to stop obstructing
this investigation.
486
00:22:31,519 --> 00:22:33,522
That's a pretty big word.
487
00:22:38,126 --> 00:22:41,110
Hey, are you in on Midyear,
the Hillary case?
488
00:22:41,210 --> 00:22:42,271
Yeah.
489
00:22:42,371 --> 00:22:43,432
Godspeed, brother.
490
00:22:43,532 --> 00:22:45,534
I hope you nail that bitch.
491
00:22:49,178 --> 00:22:50,279
[beeps]
492
00:22:50,379 --> 00:22:52,381
[door opens]
493
00:22:54,263 --> 00:22:56,526
They have obfuscated
every step of this process,
494
00:22:56,626 --> 00:22:59,209
and I don't blame them...
They should use every legal
495
00:22:59,309 --> 00:23:00,490
advantage at their disposal.
496
00:23:00,590 --> 00:23:02,692
I blame our snowflake
prosecutors
497
00:23:02,792 --> 00:23:04,410
- for letting them do it.
- Where are they, by the way?
498
00:23:04,434 --> 00:23:05,852
- Where's Bob?
- Uh, Bob won't be able
499
00:23:05,876 --> 00:23:07,137
- to make it tonight.
- Why not?
500
00:23:07,237 --> 00:23:09,139
He's in his office, uh, crying.
501
00:23:09,239 --> 00:23:10,260
Is there any pizza left?
502
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:12,362
Over there? I mean...
503
00:23:13,323 --> 00:23:14,323
Uh...
504
00:23:14,364 --> 00:23:15,746
[chuckles] I-I asked him
505
00:23:15,846 --> 00:23:18,068
to push Hillary's team
for the PRN server,
506
00:23:18,168 --> 00:23:20,030
and apparently
Kendall yelled at him.
507
00:23:20,130 --> 00:23:23,034
Our line prosecutor is
crying in his office
508
00:23:23,134 --> 00:23:25,156
because a fancy lawyer
yelled at him.
509
00:23:25,256 --> 00:23:27,358
This is what
I'm talking about, Pete!
510
00:23:27,458 --> 00:23:30,522
- She's not wrong.
- Yeah.
511
00:23:30,622 --> 00:23:32,119
[Toscas]
Every day, I hear from another
512
00:23:32,143 --> 00:23:34,406
disgruntled member
of the Midyear Exam team.
513
00:23:34,506 --> 00:23:37,849
And every call has
this assumption under it.
514
00:23:37,949 --> 00:23:39,851
That somehow Justice
isn't engaged here.
515
00:23:39,951 --> 00:23:41,533
If you want those calls to stop,
516
00:23:41,633 --> 00:23:43,936
- stop slow-walking everything.
- Listen, Mark...
517
00:23:44,036 --> 00:23:46,658
In a case this high-profile,
there are bound to be tensions.
518
00:23:46,758 --> 00:23:49,662
Sally, my team feels their
investigation is being impeded.
519
00:23:49,762 --> 00:23:52,425
And my team feels their work
is being second-guessed.
520
00:23:52,525 --> 00:23:54,907
Our strong consensus is that
Secretary Clinton's attorneys
521
00:23:55,007 --> 00:23:56,447
have not been operating
in good faith
522
00:23:56,529 --> 00:23:57,830
with this investigation,
523
00:23:57,930 --> 00:23:59,268
that they're being allowed
to obfuscate
524
00:23:59,292 --> 00:24:01,194
by the line prosecutors
here at Justice.
525
00:24:01,294 --> 00:24:02,876
You think
I'm not doing my job, Jim?
526
00:24:02,976 --> 00:24:04,397
You think I'm getting played?
527
00:24:04,497 --> 00:24:06,199
I think you're risk-averse, Bob.
528
00:24:06,299 --> 00:24:08,301
Crying in your office

It's important to say

1089

recommend to DOJ that
no charges be brought here.
1090

no reasonable prosecutor

The tone is: "I'm now going

followed normal protocol
1101

from the beginning,
then we wouldn't have spent
1102
00:49:57,809 --> 00:49:59,791

her fucking lawyers.

Why does she get coddled now
for breaking protocol,

1105
00:50:03,816 --> 00:50:06,078
Because we've decided
not to charge her.

And I have real concerns about
criticizing uncharged conduct.
1107

And-and I also think
that this statement
1108
00:50:12,945 --> 00:50:14,207
might violate the department's

No, that only applies to

was appalling.

I think that she's been told
that she's so smart for so long
1120
00:50:40,734 --> 00:50:44,118
that she didn't think that
normal rules applied to her.

00:56:17,648 --> 00:56:19,310
[Comey] Carter Page.
1230
00:56:19,410 --> 00:56:21,953
[Priestap] Yeah,
we briefed you on him in '14,
1231
00:56:22,053 --> 00:56:23,751
when he was working
at Merrill Lynch Moscow.
1232
00:56:23,775 --> 00:56:26,238
The GRU recruited him
as an asset.
1233
00:56:26,338 --> 00:56:27,959
The guy's a dope.
1234
00:56:28,059 --> 00:56:29,841
He was living in his car
not long ago.
1235
00:56:29,941 --> 00:56:32,604
But he was the first member of
Trump's national security team.
1236
00:56:32,704 --> 00:56:33,846
He's blinking red.
1237
00:56:33,946 --> 00:56:36,248
How high up is he?
Who does he report to?
1238
00:56:36,348 --> 00:56:39,632
In Russia or on the campaign?
1239
00:56:42,394 --> 00:56:43,696
You know General Flynn.
1240
00:56:43,796 --> 00:56:46,979
Fired by President Obama
two years ago.
1241
00:56:47,079 --> 00:56:48,341
He was paid $45,000
1242
00:56:48,441 --> 00:56:50,223
by Russia Today last December
1243
00:56:50,323 --> 00:56:52,345
to speak at their gala
in Moscow,
1244
00:56:52,445 --> 00:56:53,987
where he sat next to Putin.
1245
00:56:54,087 --> 00:56:57,430
He was also paid to lobby
for Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
1246
00:56:57,530 --> 00:56:59,152
Now a senior advisor to Trump.
1247
00:56:59,252 --> 00:57:00,754
We tried to bump him with a CHS.
1248
00:57:00,854 --> 00:57:01,934
We're not getting anything.
1249
00:57:02,015 --> 00:57:03,837
Let's see if we can
develop anything else.
1250
00:57:03,937 --> 00:57:04,838
Who's next?
1251
00:57:04,938 --> 00:57:06,920
You know Paul Manafort.
1252
00:57:07,020 --> 00:57:09,363
Also under
criminal investigation
1253
00:57:09,463 --> 00:57:11,465
since 2014.
1254
00:57:12,746 --> 00:57:14,164
He's on the payroll
of Russian oligarchs,
1255
00:57:14,188 --> 00:57:15,449
Oleg Deripaska
1256
00:57:15,549 --> 00:57:17,692
and Dmytro Firtash,
for ten million a year.
1257
00:57:17,792 --> 00:57:20,094
He's got close ties
to Konstantin Kilimnik
1258
00:57:20,194 --> 00:57:22,176
of Russian intel, and he served
1259
00:57:22,276 --> 00:57:24,214
as a paid lobbyist to a bunch
of Russian-backed officials
1260
00:57:24,238 --> 00:57:25,540
in Ukraine.
1261
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,022
Now he's serving as
Trump's campaign chair.
1262
00:57:28,122 --> 00:57:30,185
Also blinking red.
1263
00:57:30,285 --> 00:57:32,147
Why are there four guys
with ties to Russia
1264
00:57:32,247 --> 00:57:33,308
on one campaign?
1265
00:57:33,408 --> 00:57:35,911
Maybe Trump doesn't
vet people very well.
1266
00:57:36,011 --> 00:57:38,193
Maybe he does.
1267
00:57:38,293 --> 00:57:40,716
We're starting to see propaganda
about Secretary Clinton
1268
00:57:40,816 --> 00:57:42,918
from Radio Sputnik
and Russia Today
1269
00:57:43,018 --> 00:57:46,442
showing up verbatim
in Trump's stump speeches.
1270
00:57:46,542 --> 00:57:49,045
I don't know that
it's coordinated, but...
1271
00:57:49,145 --> 00:57:52,088
Obviously, we're going to keep
this extremely close-hold.
1272
00:57:52,188 --> 00:57:54,490
Any connection between
Russian efforts
1273
00:57:54,590 --> 00:57:56,572
to influence this election
and the Trump campaign
1274
00:57:56,672 --> 00:57:58,935
is a very serious
and explosive matter.
1275
00:57:59,035 --> 00:58:01,458
I don't want it mentioned
in morning briefings.
1276
00:58:01,558 --> 00:58:03,880
Thanks, everyone.
We'll skinny down now.
1277
00:58:08,125 --> 00:58:10,307
Can someone find out why
I keep seeing
1278
00:58:10,407 --> 00:58:13,310
Rudy Giuliani on TV saying
things about our investigations
1279
00:58:13,410 --> 00:58:14,752
that he shouldn't know?
1280
00:58:14,852 --> 00:58:16,794
We suspect another leak at NYO.
1281
00:58:16,894 --> 00:58:19,757
Well, plug it, will you?
Before I go rip-shit?
1282
00:58:19,857 --> 00:58:21,859
Yes, sir.
1283
00:58:22,940 --> 00:58:25,483
It really frosts me.
1284
00:58:25,583 --> 00:58:26,804
Yes, sir.
1285
00:58:26,904 --> 00:58:28,766
[McCabe] You've got a leaker
in your office.
1286
00:58:28,866 --> 00:58:30,929
Want to give me
some context, Andy?
1287
00:58:31,029 --> 00:58:34,092
Rudy Giuliani is on TV nonstop
since the declination
1288
00:58:34,192 --> 00:58:36,194
predicting things that
he shouldn't know.
1289
00:58:37,876 --> 00:58:39,373
Now, I know you've got
a bunch of Hillary haters
1290
00:58:39,397 --> 00:58:41,219
up there pissed off
that we dropped her case.
1291
00:58:41,319 --> 00:58:42,781
You've got to
shut this down, Bill.
1292
00:58:42,881 --> 00:58:44,783
You sure it wasn't
one of the formers?
1293
00:58:44,883 --> 00:58:46,425
They've got the ties to Rudy.
1294
00:58:46,525 --> 00:58:48,667
The formers wouldn't have access
to the kind of intel
1295
00:58:48,767 --> 00:58:50,109
that he's revealing.
1296
00:58:50,209 --> 00:58:52,191
Could be SDNY.
He's got ties there, too.
1297
00:58:52,291 --> 00:58:54,353
Let me level-set this
for you, Bill.
1298
00:58:54,453 --> 00:58:55,595
Reign your guys in.
1299
00:58:55,695 --> 00:58:57,156
You fire people if you have to,
1300
00:58:57,256 --> 00:58:59,659
but get your office's
shit together.
1301
00:59:00,740 --> 00:59:02,742
Will do.
1302
00:59:05,785 --> 00:59:07,787
Thanks.
1303
00:59:11,231 --> 00:59:12,332
Ma'am?
1304
00:59:12,432 --> 00:59:13,814
Hello, Justin.
1305
00:59:13,914 --> 00:59:15,896
I thought you might want
another soda.
1306
00:59:15,996 --> 00:59:18,999
Oh, no. Just one a day.
But thank you.
1307
00:59:20,521 --> 00:59:21,822
Have a seat.
1308
00:59:21,922 --> 00:59:23,704
Really?
1309
00:59:23,804 --> 00:59:25,806
Sure.
1310
00:59:32,373 --> 00:59:34,555
Mind if I ask you, ma'am...
1311
00:59:34,655 --> 00:59:37,559
what is that in the frame?
1312
00:59:37,659 --> 00:59:41,202
That was from
my first trial ever.
1313
00:59:41,302 --> 00:59:43,485
Pro bono case when I was
1314
00:59:43,585 --> 00:59:45,487
at King & Spalding.
1315
00:59:45,587 --> 00:59:48,290
An all-white jury that found
for an African-American woman
1316
00:59:48,390 --> 00:59:51,854
named Lovie Morrison
against a... a white family
1317
00:59:51,954 --> 00:59:55,177
trying to steal her land
in Barrow County, Georgia.
1318
00:59:55,277 --> 00:59:58,440
And that cloth was the deed.
1319
01:00:00,923 --> 01:00:02,945
I had never tried a case before.
1320
01:00:03,045 --> 01:00:04,787
I didn't even know
where to stand.
1321
01:00:04,887 --> 01:00:07,150
My star witness was
a bootlegger's wife.
1322
01:00:07,250 --> 01:00:09,112
But...
1323
01:00:09,212 --> 01:00:12,595
that jury did right anyway.
1324
01:00:12,695 --> 01:00:14,758
And you remember that
next time somebody tells you
1325
01:00:14,858 --> 01:00:17,320
this country can't be
its best self.
1326
01:00:17,420 --> 01:00:19,703
Or the law doesn't matter.
1327
01:00:21,545 --> 01:00:24,368
Thank you, ma'am.
1328
01:00:24,468 --> 01:00:26,690
I'll let you get back
to your work.
1329
01:00:26,790 --> 01:00:28,792
Night, Justin.
1330
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,221
[thunder rumbles]
1331
01:00:37,321 --> 01:00:40,985
[Priestap] Boss, we've now
been presented a dossier
1332
01:00:41,085 --> 01:00:44,349
concerning Russia and its
possible connection to Trump.
1333
01:00:44,449 --> 01:00:46,351
We've not independently
corroborated
1334
01:00:46,451 --> 01:00:48,273
any of the conclusions here,
but...
1335
01:00:48,373 --> 01:00:50,275
they come from
a highly credible source,
1336
01:00:50,375 --> 01:00:53,158
ex-MI6, who has a history
of cooperation with the Bureau
1337
01:00:53,258 --> 01:00:54,960
and the rest of the I.C.
1338
01:00:55,060 --> 01:00:57,222
Then let's hear it.
1339
01:00:59,064 --> 01:01:01,967
The dossier asserts that Putin
began cultivating Trump
1340
01:01:02,067 --> 01:01:03,689
as an asset more than five years
1341
01:01:03,789 --> 01:01:05,451
prior to his entry
into politics.
1342
01:01:05,551 --> 01:01:07,573
They traded favors with him.
1343
01:01:07,673 --> 01:01:10,536
They aided his Miss Universe
pageant.
1344
01:01:10,636 --> 01:01:12,694
They offered their help in
future Trump real estate deals
1345
01:01:12,718 --> 01:01:15,542
within Russia, including
the Trump Tower in Moscow.
1346
01:01:15,642 --> 01:01:18,264
And granted him access
to hundreds of millions
1347
01:01:18,364 --> 01:01:21,708
in loans from banks controlled
by the Russian oligarchy
1348
01:01:21,808 --> 01:01:23,550
just as U.S. banks
had declared Trump
1349
01:01:23,650 --> 01:01:25,392
to be an unworthy credit risk.
1350
01:01:25,492 --> 01:01:27,754
It was a years-long effort to...
1351
01:01:27,854 --> 01:01:31,839
recruit and maintain Trump
as an asset of the FSB
1352
01:01:31,939 --> 01:01:34,121
with the long-term goal of...
1353
01:01:34,221 --> 01:01:37,625
using him to sow discord
and disunity within the U.S.
1354
01:01:39,787 --> 01:01:42,370
The dossier further asserts
that since last year,
1355
01:01:42,470 --> 01:01:46,294
the Trump campaign has "accepted
a regular flow of intelligence
1356
01:01:46,394 --> 01:01:50,178
from the Kremlin
on his political rivals."
1357
01:01:50,278 --> 01:01:53,261
Again, we have not corroborated
any of this independently,
1358
01:01:53,361 --> 01:01:56,264
and it should be noted
that the original financier
1359
01:01:56,364 --> 01:01:58,507
of the dossier was
a Republican "Never Trumper,"
1360
01:01:58,607 --> 01:01:59,967
and the funds to finish
the dossier
1361
01:02:00,048 --> 01:02:02,911
then came from the Democrats.
1362
01:02:03,011 --> 01:02:05,013
Go on.
1363
01:02:08,737 --> 01:02:11,641
The dossier holds
that the FSB's main leverage
1364
01:02:11,741 --> 01:02:13,803
over Trump is likely blackmail,
1365
01:02:13,903 --> 01:02:16,446
made possible because
the Russians had videos
1366
01:02:16,546 --> 01:02:20,650
of Trump engaging
in "perverted sexual acts"
1367
01:02:20,750 --> 01:02:22,652
when he stayed
in the Presidential Suite
1368
01:02:22,752 --> 01:02:25,936
of Moscow's Ritz-Carlton hotel
in 2013.
1369
01:02:26,036 --> 01:02:31,001
Specifically,
a "golden showers show."
1370
01:02:34,645 --> 01:02:37,247
I'm-I'm sorry.
What-what does that mean?
1371
01:02:39,530 --> 01:02:44,275
It means, uh, they defiled a bed
that Barack and Michelle Obama
1372
01:02:44,375 --> 01:02:48,339
slept in during a state visit
by urinating on it, sir.
1373
01:02:50,061 --> 01:02:52,403
- I see.
- Again, the Bureau has not yet
1374
01:02:52,503 --> 01:02:55,326
been able to independently
corroborate the claim,
1375
01:02:55,426 --> 01:03:00,252
or any of the conclusions here,
but... given what we now know
1376
01:03:00,352 --> 01:03:02,854
of Trump's complicated
financial ties to Russian banks,
1377
01:03:02,954 --> 01:03:05,297
his loans from known oligarchs,
1378
01:03:05,397 --> 01:03:08,620
his ongoing attempt to get
that tower built in Moscow,
1379
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:10,903
the dossier does provide
a plausible,
1380
01:03:11,003 --> 01:03:14,066
if alarming working theory:
1381
01:03:14,166 --> 01:03:16,368
Russia has compromised Trump.
1382
01:03:19,051 --> 01:03:22,395
That supposition
does not leave this room.
1383
01:03:22,495 --> 01:03:25,158
Let's just find out
if it's true.
1384
01:03:25,258 --> 01:03:27,520
How aggressively?
1385
01:03:27,620 --> 01:03:29,198
The harder we pursue,
the more likely we are
1386
01:03:29,222 --> 01:03:30,403
to burn our source.
1387
01:03:30,503 --> 01:03:32,245
We can't think that way
on this one.
1388
01:03:32,345 --> 01:03:34,848
We can't take the traditional,
years-long C.I. approach.
1389
01:03:34,948 --> 01:03:36,486
- Why not?
- Because what if candidate Trump
1390
01:03:36,510 --> 01:03:38,047
becomes President Trump
before we've determined
1391
01:03:38,071 --> 01:03:39,893
whether or not
any of this is true?
1392
01:03:39,993 --> 01:03:41,655
If he takes office
1393
01:03:41,755 --> 01:03:43,333
and we still think
he may be a Russian asset,
1394
01:03:43,357 --> 01:03:44,778
how do we share intel with him?
1395
01:03:44,878 --> 01:03:46,456
How do we vet his
national security nominees?
1396
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,642
Just find out if it's true.
1397
01:03:50,805 --> 01:03:52,907
Get me Jim Clapper.
1398
01:03:53,007 --> 01:03:55,390
Mr. President, as you know,
for the past year,
1399

with a high degree of confidence

01:12:02,121 --> 01:12:05,484
Do it well, always well,
no matter how long it takes.
1569
01:12:07,126 --> 01:12:11,170
Now, does Congress
need to be advised of this?
1570
01:12:14,013 --> 01:12:17,918
We just told Congress in July
that this was all over.
1571
01:12:18,018 --> 01:12:20,000
That is now materially untrue.
1572
01:12:20,100 --> 01:12:23,924
We are reopening
our investigation.
1573
01:12:24,024 --> 01:12:25,926
If we conceal that fact,
1574
01:12:26,026 --> 01:12:27,648
will it look like we sat
on information
1575
01:12:27,748 --> 01:12:30,511
to benefit one campaign
over another?
1576
01:12:34,915 --> 01:12:37,134
All right, I want all of you
to take a break for an hour.
1577
01:12:37,158 --> 01:12:38,619
Get out of this room,
get some air.
1578
01:12:38,719 --> 01:12:41,222
Then we'll reconvene
so I can hear your thinking.
1579
01:12:41,322 --> 01:12:42,824
[clears throat] Sir,
1580
01:12:42,924 --> 01:12:44,706
the FBI has never commented
1581
01:12:44,806 --> 01:12:47,068
on the reopening
of an investigation.
1582
01:12:47,168 --> 01:12:49,991
It might very well be unfair
1583
01:12:50,091 --> 01:12:51,851
to Secretary Clinton
in terms of due process.
1584
01:12:51,933 --> 01:12:54,436
We wouldn't be
publicly commenting on it.
1585
01:12:54,536 --> 01:12:56,598
We'd be notifying Congress.
A letter to the chairs
1586
01:12:56,698 --> 01:12:58,160
of the eight
appropriate committees
1587
01:12:58,260 --> 01:13:00,442
- in the House and Senate.
- I understand, but...
1588
01:13:00,542 --> 01:13:02,404
But, uh,
this close to an election,
1589
01:13:02,504 --> 01:13:04,046
that will almost certainly leak,
1590
01:13:04,146 --> 01:13:05,768
so notifying Congress
1591
01:13:05,868 --> 01:13:08,331
is tantamount
to notifying the public.
1592
01:13:08,431 --> 01:13:11,334
So we should conceal it?
Lie by omission?
1593
01:13:11,434 --> 01:13:14,737
Well, what if we announce
and then don't find anything?
1594
01:13:14,837 --> 01:13:17,740
What if we don't announce
and then find criminal intent?
1595
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,622
[Strzok]
Even if we did conceal it,
1596
01:13:19,722 --> 01:13:21,060
- NYO would leak it anyway.
- [Priestap] Mm-hmm.
1597
01:13:21,084 --> 01:13:22,986
We'd look sneaky
and ineffective.
1598
01:13:23,086 --> 01:13:25,006
- We don't know that.
- Of course they'd leak it.
1599
01:13:25,088 --> 01:13:26,390
That place is a sieve.
1600
01:13:26,490 --> 01:13:28,512
And they hate Secretary Clinton.
In five minutes,
1601
01:13:28,612 --> 01:13:30,874
Rudy Giuliani would be
screaming it on Fox News.
1602
01:13:30,974 --> 01:13:33,677
He's a former prosecutor
and a former U.S.A.
1603
01:13:33,777 --> 01:13:36,000
- So?
- So he knows better.
1604
01:13:36,100 --> 01:13:37,521
Well, that's hysterical.
1605
01:13:37,621 --> 01:13:39,804
This whole campaign
is a job audition for him.
1606
01:13:39,904 --> 01:13:43,007
What was the saying at SDNY,
boss, about him back in the day?
1607
01:13:43,107 --> 01:13:45,650
"The most dangerous place
to stand in the world
1608
01:13:45,750 --> 01:13:47,692
is between Rudy Giuliani
and a microphone."
1609
01:13:47,792 --> 01:13:49,454
[Strzok] Right.
1610
01:13:49,554 --> 01:13:51,556
One hour.

[door closes]
1614
01:14:08,694 --> 01:14:10,696
Thoughts?
1615
01:14:13,699 --> 01:14:15,801
My fear
is how partisan we'll look
1616
01:14:15,901 --> 01:14:18,244
if word gets out
and we've said nothing.
1617
01:14:18,344 --> 01:14:20,246
Saying something would be worse.
1618
01:14:20,346 --> 01:14:22,008
And we don't know,
categorically,
1619
01:14:22,108 --> 01:14:24,389
- that NYO will leak it.
- Weiner's lawyers could leak it.
1620
01:14:24,430 --> 01:14:26,333
DOJ could leak it.
It's not close-hold.
1621
01:14:26,433 --> 01:14:28,815
[Comey] That's my fear, too.
We don't announce,
1622
01:14:28,915 --> 01:14:31,178
and three days
before the election, word leaks.
1623
01:14:31,278 --> 01:14:33,460
"The FBI has reopened
the investigation
1624
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:37,024
on Hillary Clinton,
not told anyone about it."
1625
01:14:37,124 --> 01:14:38,826
Where does that put
the credibility
1626
01:14:38,926 --> 01:14:40,227
of this institution?
1627
01:14:40,327 --> 01:14:42,069
Another scenario.
1628
01:14:42,169 --> 01:14:44,432
Hillary's just been elected.
1629
01:14:44,532 --> 01:14:46,994
A Republican-controlled House
is drafting bills of impeachment
1630
01:14:47,094 --> 01:14:48,836
before she's even sworn in.
1631
01:14:48,936 --> 01:14:52,080
Now imagine we find
something incriminating.
1632
01:14:52,180 --> 01:14:55,483
We present those findings
to House Judiciary.
1633
01:14:55,583 --> 01:14:58,727
They ask us when we first found
these e-mails,
1634
01:14:58,827 --> 01:15:01,169
and we'll be obliged to say
that we learned of them
1635
01:15:01,269 --> 01:15:03,452
a month before the election.
1636
01:15:03,552 --> 01:15:05,494
And the world will conclude
1637
01:15:05,594 --> 01:15:08,176
that we actively concealed this
from the American public
1638
01:15:08,276 --> 01:15:10,139
in order to tip the election.
1639
01:15:10,239 --> 01:15:12,821
Where does that leave
the credibility
1640
01:15:12,921 --> 01:15:14,303
of this institution?
1641
01:15:14,403 --> 01:15:17,226
Any letter that you put out
at this juncture
1642
01:15:17,326 --> 01:15:20,069
is going to be interpreted
by the public
1643
01:15:20,169 --> 01:15:23,513
to mean that we've found
new evidence of wrongdoing.
1644
01:15:23,613 --> 01:15:25,675
If I don't inform Congress
on this,
1645
01:15:25,775 --> 01:15:27,997
I should be fired.
Run out of town.
1646
01:15:28,097 --> 01:15:31,481
But, boss,
what if our doing this
1647
01:15:31,581 --> 01:15:35,305
results in the election
of Donald Trump as president?
1648
01:15:41,351 --> 01:15:44,314
That's a great question.
Thank you for asking it.
1649
01:15:48,759 --> 01:15:52,263
Down that road lies the death
of the FBI
1650
01:15:52,363 --> 01:15:54,725
as an independent force
in American life.
1651
01:15:56,767 --> 01:15:59,390
If I ever start considering
whose political fortunes
1652
01:15:59,490 --> 01:16:03,154
might be affected by a decision
even for a second,
1653
01:16:03,254 --> 01:16:05,256
we're done.
1654
01:16:07,058 --> 01:16:09,060
You still disagree?
1655
01:16:10,502 --> 01:16:13,245
I know you believe
in telling the truth.
1656
01:16:13,345 --> 01:16:15,087
I do, too.
1657
01:16:15,187 --> 01:16:18,771
But there are all kinds
of truths out there.
1658
01:16:18,871 --> 01:16:21,894
We're also, for example,
1659
01:16:21,994 --> 01:16:23,696
investigating the possibility
1660
01:16:23,796 --> 01:16:26,819
that Trump's campaign
is in bed with Russia.
1661
01:16:26,919 --> 01:16:27,940
But that's intel.
1662
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:29,542
But it's a truth.
1663
01:16:29,642 --> 01:16:33,306
And concealing one truth
and publicly announcing another
1664
01:16:33,406 --> 01:16:35,388
is selective honesty.
1665
01:16:35,488 --> 01:16:36,910
Isn't it?
1666
01:16:37,010 --> 01:16:39,152
Trisha, I told Congress
and the country
1667
01:16:39,252 --> 01:16:40,954
that this case was closed.
1668
01:16:41,054 --> 01:16:44,077
If that's revealed to be a lie,
1669
01:16:44,177 --> 01:16:47,501
how would they
ever believe us again?
1670
01:16:49,983 --> 01:16:51,985
[cooing softly]
1671
01:16:55,389 --> 01:16:57,591
- [door opens]
- [Strzok] Hey, boss?
1672
01:17:01,115 --> 01:17:02,977
[Giuliani]
A-And then, I think he's got
1673
01:17:03,077 --> 01:17:04,735
a surprise or two
that you're gonna hear about
1674
01:17:04,759 --> 01:17:06,256
- in the next two days.
- Right. Rudy...
1675
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:07,982
I-I mean, I mean,
I'm talking about
1676
01:17:08,082 --> 01:17:10,585
some pretty big surprise.
1677
01:17:10,685 --> 01:17:11,685
- [laughs]
- Stay tuned.
1678
01:17:11,766 --> 01:17:13,768
[turns off TV]
1679
01:17:14,689 --> 01:17:16,449
- He's gonna leak it.
- If he hasn't already.
1680
01:17:16,531 --> 01:17:18,273
- That's likely true.
- [scoffs]
1681
01:17:18,373 --> 01:17:20,556
A second ago you were
telling him not to do this.
1682
01:17:20,656 --> 01:17:21,957
I'm trying to find some door
1683
01:17:22,057 --> 01:17:23,599
other than the one
that leads to hell.
1684
01:17:23,699 --> 01:17:26,642
[Comey] As I see it,
we only have two options here:
1685
01:17:26,742 --> 01:17:29,845
speak or conceal.
1686
01:17:29,945 --> 01:17:33,489
One is really bad,
the other catastrophic.
1687
01:17:33,589 --> 01:17:35,832
That's right.
1688
01:17:36,913 --> 01:17:39,896
Welcome to really bad.
1689
01:17:39,996 --> 01:17:42,699
Is this a conversation
or a decision he's already made?
1690
01:17:42,799 --> 01:17:44,621
The official line
is "The director believes
1691
01:17:44,721 --> 01:17:46,263
he has a duty to inform
1692
01:17:46,363 --> 01:17:48,265
the appropriate
congressional committees."
1693
01:17:48,365 --> 01:17:52,709
That's not quite "I alone
can fix it," but it's close.
1694
01:17:52,809 --> 01:17:55,032
And to me, that means
he's going to do it.
1695
01:17:55,132 --> 01:17:57,354
Unless you order him not to.
1696
01:17:57,454 --> 01:18:01,519
And then he does it anyway,
and we have to fire him.
1697
01:18:01,619 --> 01:18:05,082
Or he resigns
and people find out why.
1698
01:18:05,182 --> 01:18:08,286
Or the contents of the letter
are leaked and we've exposed
1699
01:18:08,386 --> 01:18:10,969
ourselves to an obstruction
of Congress investigation
1700
01:18:11,069 --> 01:18:12,610
for preventing him
from correcting
1701
01:18:12,710 --> 01:18:14,652
- a misimpression.
- But you're his boss.
1702
01:18:14,752 --> 01:18:16,771
You can order him to stand down
and deal with the consequences
1703
01:18:16,795 --> 01:18:19,337
if and when they come.
1704
01:18:19,437 --> 01:18:21,620
Loretta,
he's taking a beat here.
1705
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,102
To me, that means he's giving us
the option to step in
1706
01:18:24,202 --> 01:18:26,185
and make the decision for him.
1707
01:18:26,285 --> 01:18:30,029
Mm-mm. We cannot be perceived
to be leaning on him.
1708
01:18:30,129 --> 01:18:32,711
The best way to convince him
not to do it is to convince
1709
01:18:32,811 --> 01:18:35,034
the people close to him
to stop him from doing it.
1710
01:18:35,134 --> 01:18:36,355
You agree?
1711
01:18:36,455 --> 01:18:39,479
I think norms
and policies matter.
1712
01:18:39,579 --> 01:18:41,240
And I think
Director Comey believes
1713
01:18:41,340 --> 01:18:43,643
that his own ethics
are now worth more
1714
01:18:43,743 --> 01:18:47,127
than the norms
that have always steered us.
1715
01:18:47,227 --> 01:18:49,549
You want to bring him in?
1716
01:19:02,523 --> 01:19:06,907
Tell Director Comey
we think this is a bad idea...
1717
01:19:07,007 --> 01:19:08,629
- Yes.
- ...but we do not wish
1718
01:19:08,729 --> 01:19:10,891
to discuss it with him.
1719
01:19:13,935 --> 01:19:15,837
[knocks on door]
1720
01:19:15,937 --> 01:19:18,600
[Comey] Hey.
1721
01:19:18,700 --> 01:19:22,003
- Hey, Dad.
- Got a minute?
1722
01:19:22,103 --> 01:19:24,105
Yeah, definitely.
1723
01:19:28,590 --> 01:19:30,592
Abs...
1724
01:19:33,555 --> 01:19:35,475

to get punched in the face
1725

in public again.
1726
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,262
Thought I should warn you.
1727
01:19:40,362 --> 01:19:44,907
It's not something I'm looking
forward to, but I'll be fine.
1728
01:19:45,007 --> 01:19:46,549
Another press conference?
1729
01:19:46,649 --> 01:19:50,473
No, but the effect
will be the same.
1730
01:19:50,573 --> 01:19:53,676
Worse.
1731
01:19:53,776 --> 01:19:56,880
Are you doing the right thing?
1732
01:19:56,980 --> 01:20:00,584
I think so. Pretty sure.
1733
01:20:02,626 --> 01:20:05,449
Then that's it.
1734
01:20:05,549 --> 01:20:08,492
- I love you, Dad.
- [laughs softly]
1735
01:20:08,592 --> 01:20:10,494
I love you, too, babe.
1736
01:20:10,594 --> 01:20:12,756
Oh, I'm proud of you.
1737

that it's hard to fill them

- Eh...
- You get two songs.
1910
01:28:55,826 --> 01:28:57,226
- I think it's awesome.
- Two songs.
1911

You're still a citizen.
1928

The point was
to see you cast a vote. Go.

[Dana Bash] Now, Wolf,
I have... Wolf, I have
1935
01:30:49,265 --> 01:30:51,083
a little bit of information,
but I just want to be sure
1936
01:30:51,107 --> 01:30:53,290
- that I have it right...
- Mom?

01:30:53,390 --> 01:30:54,967
[Wolf Blitzer]
All right, go ahead, John.
1938
01:30:54,991 --> 01:30:56,689
[John King] To just go
through this, as you go
1939
01:30:56,713 --> 01:30:58,131
through these, again, you go
through the outstanding states.
1940
01:30:58,155 --> 01:31:00,497
Wisconsin, you see the lead,
you're looking for the...
1941
01:31:00,597 --> 01:31:02,139
To try to find
the Democratic votes
1942
01:31:02,239 --> 01:31:03,660
and the math's just not there.
1943
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:05,699
Uh, and that, you know, again,
if it was one state,
1944
01:31:05,723 --> 01:31:06,940
you'd say,
"Okay, they're gonna be
1945
01:31:06,964 --> 01:31:08,586
extra careful about
one last state."
1946
01:31:08,686 --> 01:31:10,424
You go back to Michigan,
it's very hard for the math,
1947
01:31:10,448 --> 01:31:11,825
and I just want
to pop this up, Wolf.
1948
01:31:11,849 --> 01:31:13,391
It is not inconceivable
1949
01:31:13,491 --> 01:31:15,513
that Donald Trump catches up
in Minnesota.
1950
01:31:15,613 --> 01:31:17,355
Uh, you know, Minnesota,
the one state
1951
01:31:17,455 --> 01:31:19,837
Walter Mondale won, uh,
in the Reagan sweep.
1952
01:31:19,937 --> 01:31:22,080
Uh, now, it's... you know,
the math is hard still...
1953
01:31:22,180 --> 01:31:24,358
- [Blitzer] All right, stand by.
- ...but this is a sweep.
1954

Dana, you were, you wanted
1955

to be precise, so go ahead.
1956
01:31:27,666 --> 01:31:30,889
[Bash] That's right. Uh, CNN can
report that Hillary Clinton
1957
01:31:30,989 --> 01:31:34,733
has called Donald Trump
to concede the race.
1958
01:31:34,833 --> 01:31:37,456
She has called Donald Trump
