Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,258 --> 00:00:10,301
[cheering, applause]
2
00:00:10,343 --> 00:00:13,680
[Stephen Colbert]
Yeah.I just, uh...
3
00:00:13,722 --> 00:00:16,057
I just-- There's so many Comey stories.
4
00:00:16,099 --> 00:00:17,851
They're ju-- they're
an emotional roller coaster,
5
00:00:17,892 --> 00:00:20,562
I just don't know what to think
about James Comey.
6
00:00:20,603 --> 00:00:22,397
First he seemed like
he's the good guy,
7
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,524
then he seemed like
he's the bad guy,
8
00:00:24,566 --> 00:00:26,860
then it seemed like
he sacrificed himself
9
00:00:26,901 --> 00:00:28,445
to save other people.
10
00:00:28,486 --> 00:00:29,988
Oh, my God.
11
00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:32,741
-Is James Comey Severus Snape?
-[laughter]
12
00:00:32,782 --> 00:00:34,117
dramatic music
13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,244
I was on the way to winning...
14
00:00:36,286 --> 00:00:39,789
It was, in fact,
a big October surprise.
15
00:00:39,831 --> 00:00:42,876
T-That's not the FBI. That's not
what the FBI is supposed to do.
16
00:00:42,917 --> 00:00:44,377
[commentator]
It is clear they have no idea
17
00:00:44,419 --> 00:00:46,880
what these e-mails are.
18
00:00:46,921 --> 00:00:48,048
[Rudy Giuliani]
Jim Comey...
19
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:49,632
...reading of the law
is completely wrong.
20
00:00:49,674 --> 00:00:51,301
I consider this decision
an outrage.
21
00:00:51,342 --> 00:00:52,761
You chose to make
public statements
22
00:00:52,802 --> 00:00:54,637
about one investigation
and not another.
23
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:57,682
There would be political
ramifications to your comments.
24
00:00:57,724 --> 00:00:59,225
Do you have any regrets,
25
00:00:59,267 --> 00:01:03,063
or are there any things
you would do differently?
26
00:01:06,524 --> 00:01:08,568
slow, somber music
27
00:01:08,610 --> 00:01:11,404
28
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:26,711
[door opens]
29
00:01:28,546 --> 00:01:31,132
You're wondering why
there isn't any cake.
30
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:33,009
Afternoon, Mr. Rosenstein.
31
00:01:33,051 --> 00:01:34,677
Two reasons.
32
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:37,347
One, I don't really like cake.
33
00:01:37,388 --> 00:01:42,018
And two, I hate false ceremony.
34
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:45,271
Thank-yous
are for Mother's Day.
35
00:01:47,357 --> 00:01:48,858
Ah, Hoover.
36
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:53,029
There's a lesson
in Hoover's story, Justin.
37
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:57,867
Director of the FBI is afforded
an almost cultlike status.
38
00:01:57,909 --> 00:02:01,162
To resist that takes discipline.
39
00:02:01,204 --> 00:02:02,747
Humility.
40
00:02:05,083 --> 00:02:08,628
Hmm. As opposed to...
41
00:02:11,339 --> 00:02:15,135
You know what they do every year
on the Fourth of July?
42
00:02:15,176 --> 00:02:17,178
Jim Comey and his family?
43
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:19,973
-No.
-They gather together and read
44
00:02:20,014 --> 00:02:23,643
the Declaration of Independence
aloud to one another.
45
00:02:25,436 --> 00:02:27,981
That's not in his book.
46
00:02:28,898 --> 00:02:30,984
He just found a way to make sure
47
00:02:31,025 --> 00:02:33,820
that everyone knows.
48
00:02:35,196 --> 00:02:37,323
That's Jim.
49
00:02:37,365 --> 00:02:39,993
In governance, there are people
who do the work,
50
00:02:40,034 --> 00:02:42,495
and there are showboats.
51
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:44,289
-[taps book]
-Jim...
52
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:46,666
was always a showboat.
53
00:02:46,708 --> 00:02:47,917
[alarm clock beeping]
54
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:49,252
[turns off alarm]
55
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:52,172
[birds chirping in distance]
56
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:59,470
[sighs deeply]
57
00:02:59,512 --> 00:03:02,724
Don't worry.
He can't pick me.
58
00:03:02,765 --> 00:03:05,518
They think I'm a Bush guy.
59
00:03:11,399 --> 00:03:13,026
[pills rattle]
60
00:03:21,075 --> 00:03:25,246
I know. They each make
such a different statement.
61
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:33,504
Yeah, but which tie?
62
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:36,257
-Ta-da!
-He goes gold.
63
00:03:36,299 --> 00:03:39,552
-Very nice, Dad.
You owe me a buck.
-Handsome.
64
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:40,637
Have a great day.
65
00:03:40,678 --> 00:03:42,764
-Say hi to Barack for me.
-Me, too!
66
00:03:42,805 --> 00:03:44,349
[President Obama]
Governor, I'm told you got
67
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:45,725
24 dead and over 200 injured.
68
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:48,269
Do we have that right?
69
00:03:48,311 --> 00:03:50,104
I've ordered
Janet Napolitano at DHS
70
00:03:50,146 --> 00:03:52,649
and Craig Fugate at FEMA
to coordinate with your team
71
00:03:52,690 --> 00:03:54,359
to provide any assistance
you might need.
72
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,445
Just, uh, just hang in there--
help's coming.
73
00:03:57,487 --> 00:03:59,489
All right.
74
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:01,908
Come on in, Jim.
75
00:04:07,288 --> 00:04:08,289
Good to meet you, Mr. President.
76
00:04:08,331 --> 00:04:10,541
-You, too.
-I should confess, sir,
77
00:04:10,583 --> 00:04:12,502
I supported John McCain.
78
00:04:12,543 --> 00:04:13,962
And Romney.
79
00:04:14,003 --> 00:04:15,630
I know.
80
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:18,716
Come on.
81
00:04:18,758 --> 00:04:20,718
So...
82
00:04:21,761 --> 00:04:22,762
Why...
83
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:25,390
should I hire you
to run the Bureau?
84
00:04:25,431 --> 00:04:27,475
Why shouldn't I pick, say...
85
00:04:27,517 --> 00:04:28,726
oh, someone who supports
86
00:04:28,768 --> 00:04:30,895
my criminal justice reform
initiative?
87
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:32,397
Uh, you could, Mr. President,
88
00:04:32,438 --> 00:04:35,483
and that's an issue on which
reasonable people can disagree.
89
00:04:35,525 --> 00:04:39,112
But I believe stiffer sentencing
laws have, on the whole,
90
00:04:39,153 --> 00:04:40,363
made the country safer.
91
00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:41,864
A lot of Americans
aren't dead today
92
00:04:41,906 --> 00:04:44,409
because the guys who might
have killed them were locked up.
93
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:48,329
Well, still, it might be easier
for me to have an FBI director
94
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:51,249
-who agrees with me.
-Well, that's true, but...
95
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,376
you've always struck me
as one of those leaders
96
00:04:53,418 --> 00:04:57,255
who gains just as much
from thoughtful disagreement.
97
00:04:57,297 --> 00:04:58,256
Hmm.
98
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:01,301
You garnered
a lot of attention for a...
99
00:05:01,342 --> 00:05:04,262
well, taking on the Mob
as prosecutor
100
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:06,139
and defending the DOJ in '04.
101
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:07,557
I suppose that's true.
102
00:05:07,598 --> 00:05:10,268
Do you need a lot of attention?
103
00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:14,147
That's not a huge driver for me.
104
00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:17,608
No, uh, interest in politics
down the line?
105
00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:19,652
-None.
-Good.
106
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:21,195
Politicians are awful.
107
00:05:21,237 --> 00:05:22,947
-[chuckles]
-Advisor of mine says
108
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:25,241
you were a...
an outstanding deputy A.G.
109
00:05:25,283 --> 00:05:26,743
-Thank you.
-He also says
110
00:05:26,784 --> 00:05:30,163
you can be self-righteous
and, uh, morally superior.
111
00:05:30,204 --> 00:05:33,624
Your advisor sounds like
an excellent judge of character.
112
00:05:33,666 --> 00:05:36,044
[laughs softly] What else do I
need to know about you, Jim?
113
00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:38,463
What do you... what do you think
your weaknesses are?
114
00:05:38,504 --> 00:05:39,505
Well...
115
00:05:39,547 --> 00:05:42,925
um, sometimes
I can be impulsive and...
116
00:05:42,967 --> 00:05:45,511
convince myself
I'm being decisive.
117
00:05:45,553 --> 00:05:47,597
How's your health?
Any recurrence?
118
00:05:47,638 --> 00:05:50,266
None, sir.
Clean scans for seven years now.
119
00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:51,517
Hmm. Because, uh,
120
00:05:51,559 --> 00:05:53,853
there's no pressure
in any private sector job
121
00:05:53,895 --> 00:05:55,938
equivalent to the burden
of national security.
122
00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:58,149
-That's understood.
-The director can be
123
00:05:58,191 --> 00:05:59,942
a whipping boy for Congress.
124
00:05:59,984 --> 00:06:01,444
And you certainly wouldn't make
125
00:06:01,486 --> 00:06:03,279
what the private sector
can pay you.
126
00:06:03,321 --> 00:06:07,492
Given all that, why would you
want to come back to government?
127
00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:12,330
When I was, uh, 16...
128
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:15,500
a man in a knit cap
broke into our house
129
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:17,960
and put a gun
to my kid brother's head.
130
00:06:18,002 --> 00:06:21,881
He said, "You move,
and I will blow his head off."
131
00:06:22,840 --> 00:06:26,719
The guy had been terrorizing
our neighborhood for months.
132
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:29,806
They called him
the Ramsey Rapist.
133
00:06:29,847 --> 00:06:33,643
I showed him where my parents
kept their few valuables
134
00:06:33,684 --> 00:06:36,771
and begged him not to kill us.
135
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:39,857
For some reason, he didn't.
136
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:43,069
Just locked us
in the basement and left.
137
00:06:47,156 --> 00:06:51,369
I slept with a butcher knife
in my bed for years.
138
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:56,165
The guy was never caught,
so I had this...
139
00:06:56,207 --> 00:07:00,586
"what if" tape in my head.
140
00:07:00,628 --> 00:07:03,047
"What if he comes back?
141
00:07:03,089 --> 00:07:07,218
What if my sister is home
when he does?"
142
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:11,597
I'd been...
143
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:13,808
powerless.
144
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,938
slow, somber music
145
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:21,482
146
00:07:21,524 --> 00:07:23,818
Money is nice.
147
00:07:24,694 --> 00:07:27,280
Stopping bad guys is better.
148
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,870
You know, uh...
149
00:07:33,911 --> 00:07:36,622
if you were to get this job,
150
00:07:36,664 --> 00:07:39,167
conversations like this
would be impossible.
151
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:42,420
The president
and the FBI director...
152
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:44,505
have to be at arm's length.
153
00:07:44,547 --> 00:07:46,549
One day, uh,
you might be called upon
154
00:07:46,591 --> 00:07:49,343
to investigate something someone
in my party may have done
155
00:07:49,385 --> 00:07:52,305
-or someone on my staff or...
-You.
156
00:07:52,346 --> 00:07:53,389
[laughs]
157
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:56,517
Well, for those investigations
to be credible,
158
00:07:56,559 --> 00:07:58,352
well, we cannot be close.
159
00:07:58,394 --> 00:08:02,356
Mr. President, I hope
I can look forward to years
160
00:08:02,398 --> 00:08:04,692
of not being close with you.
161
00:08:04,734 --> 00:08:06,569
[man]
Good morning, Mr. Director.
162
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:08,112
[Mueller]
Mm.
163
00:08:09,155 --> 00:08:13,201
[Mueller] All the field officers regard us with some suspicion.
164
00:08:13,242 --> 00:08:15,077
New York gripes the most.
165
00:08:15,119 --> 00:08:17,079
They think
they're their own Bureau.
166
00:08:17,121 --> 00:08:18,789
How have you handled that,
generally?
167
00:08:18,831 --> 00:08:22,668
[laughs softly] I tell them,
"If you're not happy, leave.
168
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:25,379
There's plenty of people
that want your job."
169
00:08:25,421 --> 00:08:29,842
You can't run this place
if you mind being resented.
170
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:31,886
We do stand-up meetings,
171
00:08:31,928 --> 00:08:34,013
so I don't have to waste time
172
00:08:34,055 --> 00:08:37,934
while they sit
and then get back up again.
173
00:08:37,975 --> 00:08:39,810
[Mueller sighs]
174
00:08:40,853 --> 00:08:42,355
But...
175
00:08:42,396 --> 00:08:44,774
you're gonna have
to make changes.
176
00:08:44,815 --> 00:08:47,818
There's not a lot of talent
in the pipeline,
177
00:08:47,860 --> 00:08:49,278
not even for deputy.
178
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,782
You need somebody
who's ready politically.
179
00:08:52,823 --> 00:08:55,493
The FBI is the world
of the bank shot.
180
00:08:55,535 --> 00:08:58,746
Director Mueller, this is
the promotion for the SAC
181
00:08:58,788 --> 00:09:01,707
-in the Kansas City office.
-Okay.
182
00:09:01,749 --> 00:09:04,418
Keep your eye on Cyber.
183
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:09,090
We're hugely vulnerable
to a coordinated attack.
184
00:09:09,131 --> 00:09:10,216
-Bob?
-Yeah?
185
00:09:10,258 --> 00:09:13,261
Shouldn't we discuss
what you're signing?
186
00:09:13,302 --> 00:09:16,055
-What for?
-That's a senior executive
187
00:09:16,097 --> 00:09:18,432
who's going to be reporting
to me in a week.
188
00:09:18,474 --> 00:09:21,102
Can I know who he is
and why you're promoting--
189
00:09:21,143 --> 00:09:23,563
You want it, take it.
190
00:09:27,024 --> 00:09:31,237
I don't want it;
I just wanted to discuss it.
191
00:09:33,197 --> 00:09:35,700
A word of advice, Jim.
192
00:09:35,741 --> 00:09:39,078
If you've been doing this
for ten years,
193
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,916
and a president asks you
to stay on for another two,
194
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:45,501
say no.
195
00:09:45,543 --> 00:09:48,170
[Comey]
You should know that I have
196
00:09:48,212 --> 00:09:49,797
several expectations of you.
197
00:09:49,839 --> 00:09:51,966
I expect you to work hard,
198
00:09:52,008 --> 00:09:54,010
because you owe that
to the taxpayer.
199
00:09:54,051 --> 00:09:56,846
I expect you
to exercise good judgment.
200
00:09:56,887 --> 00:10:00,224
Being here means
you have the power to do good,
201
00:10:00,266 --> 00:10:03,477
or, if you abuse that power,
great harm.
202
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:06,647
I expect you to find joy
in your work.
203
00:10:06,689 --> 00:10:10,901
You are part of an organization
devoted to doing good,
204
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:14,655
protecting the weak,
rescuing the taken,
205
00:10:14,697 --> 00:10:16,574
and catching criminals.
206
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:20,411
That is work with moral content.
207
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:23,789
Doing it should be a source
of great joy.
208
00:10:23,831 --> 00:10:26,792
And I expect you to protect
this institution's reservoir
209
00:10:26,834 --> 00:10:28,836
of trust and credibility,
210
00:10:28,878 --> 00:10:32,089
which makes possible
all of our work.
211
00:10:33,341 --> 00:10:35,718
I expect you
to fight for balance
212
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,304
in your lives.
213
00:10:38,346 --> 00:10:40,348
You are all driven
by our mission,
214
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:42,558
and you are used
to absorbing stress.
215
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,979
That means you need more time
with your loved ones, not less.
216
00:10:47,021 --> 00:10:48,105
So...
217
00:10:48,147 --> 00:10:52,777
I order you to love someone.
218
00:10:53,778 --> 00:10:55,655
It's the right thing to do.
219
00:10:55,696 --> 00:10:58,866
-It's also good for you.
-[scattered laughter]
220
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:03,746
Crime in any form
makes people feel powerless.
221
00:11:03,788 --> 00:11:06,165
Let's fix that.
222
00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:14,840
Oh. No, no, no.
223
00:11:14,882 --> 00:11:17,009
I'm-I'm okay.
I'll wait.
224
00:11:17,051 --> 00:11:18,678
Thanks.
225
00:11:20,179 --> 00:11:21,847
Hi. Jim.
226
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:25,393
Pam.
227
00:11:25,434 --> 00:11:27,019
What do you do here?
228
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:29,647
Counterterrorism analyst.
229
00:11:30,523 --> 00:11:33,234
What did you do before?
What-what drew you here?
230
00:11:33,275 --> 00:11:36,654
9/11. I was an analyst
at Cantor Fitzgerald.
231
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:39,573
Missed work that day
because of the flu.
232
00:11:39,615 --> 00:11:41,367
Thanks, Pam.
233
00:11:42,326 --> 00:11:44,286
Thank you, Pam.
[chuckles]
234
00:11:44,328 --> 00:11:46,872
Saved my spot.
[sniffs]
235
00:11:46,914 --> 00:11:48,374
What do you do here?
236
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:51,085
Hmm? Uh, computer tech,
Counterintel.
237
00:11:51,127 --> 00:11:54,588
What were you before?
What-what called you here?
238
00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:56,424
I worked for Monsanto.
239
00:11:56,465 --> 00:11:57,925
Hated it.
240
00:11:57,967 --> 00:12:00,010
What do you do here?
241
00:12:00,052 --> 00:12:01,595
I'm the director.
242
00:12:01,637 --> 00:12:02,888
Oh, yeah?
243
00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:04,807
The director of what?
244
00:12:04,849 --> 00:12:07,518
In his first two years
at the Bureau,
245
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:11,188
Jim did everything you'd expect
a Boy Scout to do.
246
00:12:11,230 --> 00:12:13,441
He visited all 56 field offices
247
00:12:13,482 --> 00:12:15,526
and dozens more overseas,
248
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:18,112
charming each and every one
249
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:21,699
of the Bureau's
37,000 employees.
250
00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:23,617
He was adored.
251
00:12:23,659 --> 00:12:24,994
Loved.
252
00:12:25,035 --> 00:12:26,537
Nothing slowed him.
253
00:12:26,579 --> 00:12:29,540
There were, you know, kidnappings...
254
00:12:29,582 --> 00:12:31,459
lone shooters, terror plots.
255
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:34,170
[reporter] ISIS is not your parents' al-Qaeda.
256
00:12:34,211 --> 00:12:36,464
The FBI nabbed
at least six people.
257
00:12:36,505 --> 00:12:39,759
The battle between Apple
and the FBI.
258
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,761
Iran hacks into
the control system
259
00:12:41,802 --> 00:12:43,137
of an American dam.
260
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:45,973
[Rosenstein] Yet his sunniness was undimmed.
261
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:47,057
Until...
262
00:12:47,099 --> 00:12:48,392
[Giuliano]
Good morning.
263
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:50,311
[others]
Morning.
264
00:12:50,352 --> 00:12:53,522
What did the analysts
pull together?
265
00:12:53,564 --> 00:12:55,566
What's in the PDB?
266
00:12:55,608 --> 00:12:57,359
[McCabe] Got a potential
issue in the U.K.
267
00:12:57,401 --> 00:12:59,487
Getting chatter
that AQAP is going to hit
268
00:12:59,528 --> 00:13:01,781
another airliner
bound for the U.S.
269
00:13:01,822 --> 00:13:03,949
JTF is reporting, uh,
270
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:05,951
chatter in New York
indicating the same thing.
271
00:13:05,993 --> 00:13:07,828
We don't know yet
where they'll be flying from
272
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:09,538
or what techniques
they'll be using.
273
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:10,706
Do we have a time frame on this?
274
00:13:10,748 --> 00:13:13,250
Nothing specific,
just increased chatter.
275
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:15,419
Is it something the boss needs
to brief the A.G. on?
276
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:17,797
-Not yet.
-What else?
277
00:13:17,838 --> 00:13:20,174
Operation in Detroit
that's ready to go down.
278
00:13:20,216 --> 00:13:22,384
Guy at a mosque there
told an informant yesterday
279
00:13:22,426 --> 00:13:25,054
he was planning to target
a Jewish children's center.
280
00:13:25,095 --> 00:13:25,971
Do we have enough to charge?
281
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:27,473
-Yes.
-Do we have the right
282
00:13:27,515 --> 00:13:29,183
resources on the ground,
good takedown plan?
283
00:13:29,225 --> 00:13:30,935
We do. We'll give them
to you off-line.
284
00:13:30,976 --> 00:13:33,437
Okay. Let's skinny down
for the director.
285
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:34,230
[door opens]
286
00:13:34,271 --> 00:13:37,733
Mark, we got an I.G. referral
287
00:13:37,775 --> 00:13:39,068
on Clinton and her e-mails.
288
00:13:39,109 --> 00:13:40,820
We're gonna have to open a case.
289
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:45,282
Say more.
290
00:13:47,535 --> 00:13:49,954
-Boss.
-What's up?
291
00:13:49,995 --> 00:13:51,330
Got a referral
292
00:13:51,372 --> 00:13:52,623
from the intel I.G.
293
00:13:52,665 --> 00:13:55,167
about Secretary Clinton's
e-mails.
294
00:13:56,252 --> 00:13:58,170
We're gonna have to open a case.
295
00:13:58,921 --> 00:14:00,089
Say more.
296
00:14:00,130 --> 00:14:02,925
Secretary Clinton's aides
didn't hand over her e-mails
297
00:14:02,967 --> 00:14:05,803
to government records--
is that a failure
298
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:06,762
or is that an oversight?
299
00:14:06,804 --> 00:14:08,931
Well, it's a failure
to comply with the law
300
00:14:08,973 --> 00:14:10,891
that the secretary had
to know about,
301
00:14:10,933 --> 00:14:12,726
that her aides had
to know about.
302
00:14:12,768 --> 00:14:15,813
And it's a pattern of deception
that began from before
303
00:14:15,855 --> 00:14:18,899
she became secretary
until her last day.
304
00:14:18,941 --> 00:14:20,317
But I am a little bit worried
305
00:14:20,359 --> 00:14:22,820
about the-the security
of those e-mails.
306
00:14:22,862 --> 00:14:24,947
Uh, they would've been, uh,
307
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:27,449
prime targets
for cyber, uh, attacks.
308
00:14:27,491 --> 00:14:30,536
They haven't given us
e-mails for nine of the ten
309
00:14:30,578 --> 00:14:32,371
senior aides that she had.
310
00:14:32,413 --> 00:14:33,956
It's been over a year.
311
00:14:33,998 --> 00:14:35,624
Well, let's start
from the beginning.
312
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:37,543
Everything I did was permitted.
313
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:39,962
"Did she mishandle
classified information
314
00:14:40,004 --> 00:14:41,922
by using her personal
e-mail system
315
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:45,050
while serving
as Secretary of State?"
316
00:14:50,598 --> 00:14:51,765
You know you're screwed, right?
317
00:14:51,807 --> 00:14:55,060
I do not see
a positive outcome here
318
00:14:55,102 --> 00:14:56,896
no matter what we find.
319
00:14:59,189 --> 00:15:02,359
Just do it right.
320
00:15:05,571 --> 00:15:07,948
Welcome to your new home.
321
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:11,619
I want to say something
before we start,
322
00:15:11,660 --> 00:15:15,122
which I know you all
already know.
323
00:15:15,831 --> 00:15:18,334
Whatever this investigation
yields,
324
00:15:18,375 --> 00:15:22,838
history will look at what we do
here through a microscope,
325
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,674
so our work needs
to be letter-perfect.
326
00:15:25,716 --> 00:15:27,509
No leaks,
everything buttoned down.
327
00:15:27,551 --> 00:15:31,639
We cannot cut corners,
cannot screw this up in any way.
328
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,724
Is that clear?
329
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:38,437
Now, this is not going to
become some kind of octopus.
330
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:40,314
We're not gonna
chase down spills
331
00:15:40,356 --> 00:15:43,192
to the ends of the earth,
which could take a decade.
332
00:15:43,233 --> 00:15:45,361
We're looking
for "corrupt purpose."
333
00:15:45,402 --> 00:15:49,531
Did Secretary Clinton
knowingly break the law
334
00:15:49,573 --> 00:15:52,076
either by using
a personal e-mail server
335
00:15:52,117 --> 00:15:54,161
to handle classified information
336
00:15:54,203 --> 00:15:55,496
while serving at State,
337
00:15:55,537 --> 00:15:57,998
or by directing
the deletion of e-mails
338
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,960
from that server? Period.
339
00:16:01,752 --> 00:16:04,421
I want to be briefed
on this thing every day.
340
00:16:04,463 --> 00:16:05,422
Pete?
341
00:16:05,464 --> 00:16:08,550
We have three primary lines
of inquiry.
342
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:10,344
One, the collection
and examination
343
00:16:10,386 --> 00:16:13,263
of e-mails that traversed
Secretary Clinton's servers.
344
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,224
Her attorneys have produced
some of those,
345
00:16:15,265 --> 00:16:19,186
but 31,830 e-mails
deemed too personal
346
00:16:19,228 --> 00:16:22,356
by her attorneys to submit
to the State Department
347
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:24,191
have been wiped
from her current server.
348
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:26,360
Two, interviews
of relevant witnesses
349
00:16:26,402 --> 00:16:28,821
who wiped all those files off
Secretary Clinton's
350
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:30,030
server using BleachBit.
351
00:16:30,072 --> 00:16:32,741
Three, Secretary Clinton used
these devices overseas,
352
00:16:32,783 --> 00:16:36,578
often within the borders
of sophisticated adversaries.
353
00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:38,288
So... analysis.
354
00:16:38,330 --> 00:16:41,667
Did that lead to classified
information being compromised
355
00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:43,085
by hostile cyber actors?
356
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:46,005
Intrusion analysis has
already begun.
357
00:16:46,046 --> 00:16:48,590
OTD will image all
of Secretary Clinton's devices,
358
00:16:48,632 --> 00:16:51,593
including the two servers
we currently have in custody.
359
00:16:51,635 --> 00:16:53,679
And a filter team will
remove any material privileged
360
00:16:53,721 --> 00:16:56,265
by attorney-client,
medical or marital,
361
00:16:56,306 --> 00:16:57,933
and attempt deduplication.
362
00:16:57,975 --> 00:16:59,685
We are also sending
preservation requests
363
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:03,689
to the State Department,
the CIA, DIA, DOD and EOP
364
00:17:03,731 --> 00:17:06,025
for e-mails
from Secretary Clinton
365
00:17:06,066 --> 00:17:09,153
or the clintonaccount.net
domain.
366
00:17:09,194 --> 00:17:10,571
Are there any questions?
367
00:17:10,612 --> 00:17:13,907
Yeah, are we stuck with
the two chickenshit prosecutors
368
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:16,827
Justice has assigned
or can we demand somebody
369
00:17:16,869 --> 00:17:18,370
with actual balls?
370
00:17:18,412 --> 00:17:20,164
We're looking into that.
371
00:17:20,205 --> 00:17:22,166
Those two are zeros.
372
00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:23,292
Is there anything else?
373
00:17:23,333 --> 00:17:24,877
[Giuliano]
Do you have all the resources
374
00:17:24,918 --> 00:17:26,086
you need?
Do you need anything
375
00:17:26,128 --> 00:17:27,546
pushed up the chain
across the street?
376
00:17:27,588 --> 00:17:29,089
[Strzok]
We'll let you know, Mark.
377
00:17:29,131 --> 00:17:30,883
Thank you.
378
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:33,052
Okay, now I'm pissed off.
379
00:17:33,093 --> 00:17:34,803
Midyear's gonna be run out
of NSD at headquarters
380
00:17:34,845 --> 00:17:37,431
by a deputy-- how the fuck is
that supposed to work?
381
00:17:37,473 --> 00:17:39,224
Fucking D.C.--
those guys couldn't find
382
00:17:39,266 --> 00:17:41,226
an elephant in the middle
of Yankee Stadium.
383
00:17:41,268 --> 00:17:44,063
And the prosecutors
down there are even worse.
384
00:17:44,104 --> 00:17:46,398
Boss... we have venue
on this one.
385
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,067
-You gonna put up with this?
-Gee, fellas.
386
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:51,278
You having trouble finding joy
in your work today?
387
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,613
Relax.
388
00:17:52,654 --> 00:17:54,740
Everything comes
through here eventually.
389
00:17:54,782 --> 00:17:56,492
-Right?
-Fucking A.
390
00:17:56,533 --> 00:17:58,744
Fucking A.
391
00:17:58,786 --> 00:18:00,120
Tell me about Midyear.
392
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:02,081
Do you have all
the resources you need?
393
00:18:02,122 --> 00:18:03,040
Sort of.
394
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:04,917
Hillary's lawyers are
slow-walking everything,
395
00:18:04,958 --> 00:18:07,669
and no one at Justice is
doing anything to stop it.
396
00:18:07,711 --> 00:18:09,797
Her lead guy is David Kendall.
397
00:18:09,838 --> 00:18:13,342
One of the prosecutors
used to work for him, so...
398
00:18:13,383 --> 00:18:14,843
there's an intimidation there.
399
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:17,012
Midyear team's getting
frustrated with it.
400
00:18:17,054 --> 00:18:19,014
I'll take care of it, thank you.
401
00:18:19,056 --> 00:18:21,141
How's Judy?
402
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:22,392
She's good.
403
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,561
So this 18 months
you signed up for,
404
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:28,732
how would feel about
making that 24 months?
405
00:18:30,943 --> 00:18:33,946
Now I understand
the picnic setting.
406
00:18:35,072 --> 00:18:38,242
I need to make some
actual money, boss.
407
00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:39,451
We're strapped.
408
00:18:39,493 --> 00:18:41,495
Apartment here,
house in Atlanta,
409
00:18:41,537 --> 00:18:43,247
two college tuitions.
410
00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:47,334
If I want to get home, I have
to drive ten hours because
411
00:18:47,376 --> 00:18:49,795
I can't afford to fly.
412
00:18:50,629 --> 00:18:52,840
I'm sorry.
413
00:18:54,049 --> 00:18:56,927
But I've got no one
to replace you, Mark.
414
00:18:56,969 --> 00:18:58,554
No one's ready.
415
00:18:58,595 --> 00:19:00,013
And the Bureau can't function
416
00:19:00,055 --> 00:19:03,475
without a deputy who commands
the respect you do.
417
00:19:05,561 --> 00:19:07,980
I made her a promise, boss.
418
00:19:14,027 --> 00:19:16,196
We're steaming towards
an iceberg.
419
00:19:16,238 --> 00:19:17,281
You know that.
420
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:19,449
Do you see anybody
who's ready to step in
421
00:19:19,491 --> 00:19:22,369
and do the job at your level,
day one, no drop-off,
422
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:24,538
nothing gets missed?
423
00:19:25,747 --> 00:19:28,625
Just six more.
424
00:19:31,295 --> 00:19:32,963
[Claire]
Mom, you can breathe.
425
00:19:33,005 --> 00:19:34,631
-She's gonna win.
-You don't know that.
426
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:37,009
-Who's gonna beat her?
-Trump.
427
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:38,468
Trump?
428
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:39,761
He's an idiot.
429
00:19:39,803 --> 00:19:40,804
But he's a man.
430
00:19:40,846 --> 00:19:42,222
And male voters are gender-loyal
431
00:19:42,264 --> 00:19:43,974
in a way that women aren't.
432
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:46,727
And he isn't being
investigated by anyone.
433
00:19:46,768 --> 00:19:47,728
Yeah.
434
00:19:47,769 --> 00:19:49,605
What's up with that, Dad?
435
00:19:49,646 --> 00:19:52,232
If she broke the law,
wouldn't you want to know?
436
00:19:52,274 --> 00:19:53,984
No, not really.
437
00:19:54,026 --> 00:19:56,987
-Me, neither.
-[phone ringing]
438
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:58,655
Hey, Mark, what's up?
439
00:19:58,697 --> 00:20:00,532
Boss, sorry to hit you on a Sunday.
440
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:03,076
Uh, you got a second? It's important.
441
00:20:03,118 --> 00:20:05,370
Okay.
442
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:09,124
-Go.
-Russia.
443
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:12,294
Some anomalous behavior concerning the election.
444
00:20:12,336 --> 00:20:14,922
What kind of anomalous behavior?
445
00:20:14,963 --> 00:20:17,633
[camera shutter clicking]
446
00:20:17,674 --> 00:20:19,676
[Giuliano] We think they're trying to sabotage
447
00:20:19,718 --> 00:20:21,887
Secretary Clinton's campaign.
448
00:20:21,929 --> 00:20:23,513
How?
449
00:20:23,555 --> 00:20:26,558
Ever spend much time on Facebook?
450
00:20:56,505 --> 00:20:57,965
[woman laughs]
451
00:21:11,186 --> 00:21:13,272
[mouse clicking]
452
00:21:16,566 --> 00:21:19,987
Donald Trump clearly,
uh, is-is scheduled,
453
00:21:20,028 --> 00:21:22,447
at this point, to win
the Republican nomination.
454
00:21:22,489 --> 00:21:25,200
It's not just
that he's ahead by so much.
455
00:21:25,242 --> 00:21:26,785
It's the ways
in which he's ahead.
456
00:21:26,827 --> 00:21:30,080
The Trump supporters see
Trump as political chemo.
457
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:33,625
He may be toxic, he may
kill every healthy cell
458
00:21:33,667 --> 00:21:35,043
in the bloodstream,
459
00:21:35,085 --> 00:21:38,797
but he is the only cure for
the cancer that is Washington--
460
00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:39,798
Okay.
461
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,050
Secretary Clinton was
a part of 81 e-mail chains,
462
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:46,305
containing 193 e-mails ranging
from confidential to top secret,
463
00:21:46,346 --> 00:21:48,849
all sent
from unclassified systems.
464
00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:51,018
That's staff failure.
465
00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:52,102
Tell me why.
466
00:21:52,144 --> 00:21:54,187
On sensitive material,
staff is supposed
467
00:21:54,229 --> 00:21:57,399
to include headers or footers
with classification markings.
468
00:21:57,441 --> 00:21:59,026
That's how these things
get flagged.
469
00:21:59,067 --> 00:22:01,278
It's standard.
Her staff didn't do it.
470
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,697
But she knew the material
was sensitive
471
00:22:03,739 --> 00:22:06,074
and she knew the systems
were unprotected.
472
00:22:06,116 --> 00:22:07,284
Let's chase that down later.
473
00:22:07,326 --> 00:22:09,119
Where are we
with Huma Abedin's e-mails?
474
00:22:09,161 --> 00:22:11,997
I asked. Justice doesn't feel
the need to get a warrant,
475
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:14,374
because Abedin's
work for Clinton was
476
00:22:14,416 --> 00:22:16,084
"administrative in nature
477
00:22:16,126 --> 00:22:19,379
and she was never an originator
of classified materials."
478
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:20,797
But she could have been
a forwarder
479
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:22,883
of classified materials;
she could have taken stuff
480
00:22:22,924 --> 00:22:25,844
off of classified systems
and dumped it down.
481
00:22:25,886 --> 00:22:28,013
They're just too fucking
scared to walk
482
00:22:28,055 --> 00:22:29,765
into Williams & Connolly
and tell David Kendall
483
00:22:29,806 --> 00:22:32,392
to stop obstructing
this investigation.
484
00:22:32,434 --> 00:22:34,728
That's a pretty big word.
485
00:22:38,732 --> 00:22:42,235
Hey, are you in on Midyear,
the Hillary case?
486
00:22:42,277 --> 00:22:43,320
Yeah.
487
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:44,404
Godspeed, brother.
488
00:22:44,446 --> 00:22:46,073
I hope you nail that bitch.
489
00:22:50,369 --> 00:22:51,411
[beeps]
490
00:22:51,453 --> 00:22:52,871
[door opens]
491
00:22:54,915 --> 00:22:57,209
They have obfuscated
every step of this process,
492
00:22:57,250 --> 00:23:00,128
and I don't blame them--
they should use every legal
493
00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:01,254
advantage at their disposal.
494
00:23:01,296 --> 00:23:03,298
I blame our snowflake
prosecutors
495
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:05,133
-for letting them do it.
-Where are they, by the way?
496
00:23:05,175 --> 00:23:06,551
-Where's Bob?
-Uh, Bob won't be able
497
00:23:06,593 --> 00:23:08,095
-to make it tonight.
-Why not?
498
00:23:08,136 --> 00:23:10,180
He's in his office, uh, crying.
499
00:23:10,222 --> 00:23:11,223
Is there any pizza left?
500
00:23:11,264 --> 00:23:13,600
Over there? I mean...
501
00:23:14,434 --> 00:23:15,185
Uh...
502
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:16,395
[chuckles]
I-I asked him
503
00:23:16,436 --> 00:23:18,814
to push Hillary's team
for the PRN server,
504
00:23:18,855 --> 00:23:20,690
and apparently
Kendall yelled at him.
505
00:23:20,732 --> 00:23:23,819
Our line prosecutor is
crying in his office
506
00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:25,946
because a fancy lawyer
yelled at him.
507
00:23:25,987 --> 00:23:28,240
This is what
I'm talking about, Pete!
508
00:23:28,281 --> 00:23:31,284
-She's not wrong.
-Yeah.
509
00:23:31,326 --> 00:23:32,661
[Toscas]
Every day, I hear from another
510
00:23:32,702 --> 00:23:35,080
disgruntled member of the Midyear Exam team.
511
00:23:35,122 --> 00:23:38,542
And every call has
this assumption under it.
512
00:23:38,583 --> 00:23:40,794
That somehow Justice
isn't engaged here.
513
00:23:40,836 --> 00:23:42,212
If you want those calls to stop,
514
00:23:42,254 --> 00:23:44,506
-stop slow-walking everything.
-Listen, Mark--
515
00:23:44,548 --> 00:23:47,217
In a case this high-profile,
there are bound to be tensions.
516
00:23:47,259 --> 00:23:50,303
Sally, my team feels their
investigation is being impeded.
517
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:52,931
And my team feels their work
is being second-guessed.
518
00:23:52,973 --> 00:23:55,642
Our strong consensus is that
Secretary Clinton's attorneys
519
00:23:55,684 --> 00:23:57,436
have not been operating
in good faith
520
00:23:57,477 --> 00:23:58,520
with this investigation,
521
00:23:58,562 --> 00:23:59,980
that they're being allowed
to obfuscate
522
00:24:00,021 --> 00:24:01,982
by the line prosecutors
here at Justice.
523
00:24:02,023 --> 00:24:03,733
You think
I'm not doing my job, Jim?
524
00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:05,360
You think I'm getting played?
525
00:24:05,402 --> 00:24:06,987
I think you're risk-averse, Bob.
526
00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:09,406
Crying in your office
doesn't help.
527
00:24:13,869 --> 00:24:16,913
Every document or device
we've requested,
528
00:24:16,955 --> 00:24:17,998
we're going to get.
529
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:19,416
Her attorneys
are only going to be
530
00:24:19,458 --> 00:24:20,709
as helpful
as you push them to be.
531
00:24:20,750 --> 00:24:21,793
We're trying to be careful.
532
00:24:21,835 --> 00:24:24,171
-Can you be careful faster?
-That's what I'm talking about.
533
00:24:24,212 --> 00:24:25,797
Thank you, everyone.
534
00:24:27,591 --> 00:24:30,260
Loretta, uh, one other thing.
535
00:24:30,302 --> 00:24:32,053
The Bureau's been getting
bombarded with questions
536
00:24:32,095 --> 00:24:34,264
about whether or not we're
investigating Secretary Clinton.
537
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:37,642
It's starting to feel silly
to keep issuing a "no comment."
538
00:24:37,684 --> 00:24:39,227
People are openly talking
about it in the press,
539
00:24:39,269 --> 00:24:41,938
and even Secretary Clinton
herself has referred to it.
540
00:24:41,980 --> 00:24:45,775
So I'd like your permission,
i-if asked, to acknowledge it
541
00:24:45,817 --> 00:24:49,488
with, "We don't comment
on investigations."
542
00:24:53,658 --> 00:24:54,910
Fine.
543
00:24:54,951 --> 00:24:57,704
But I think it would be better
544
00:24:57,746 --> 00:25:00,165
to refer to it as a "matter."
545
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:03,460
Why would we do that?
546
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:06,922
Because we don't comment
on investigations.
547
00:25:06,963 --> 00:25:08,632
But if we're trying to establish
548
00:25:08,673 --> 00:25:10,342
that we're treating this
like any other case,
549
00:25:10,383 --> 00:25:13,053
wouldn't it be helpful
to use the same language
550
00:25:13,094 --> 00:25:14,471
we'd use on any other case?
551
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,349
I'm trying
to thread the needle here.
552
00:25:18,475 --> 00:25:20,101
I think "matter" does that.
553
00:25:20,143 --> 00:25:22,854
Okay. We can make that work.
554
00:25:22,896 --> 00:25:24,523
Good.
555
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,735
Oh. Hey, Jim.
556
00:25:28,777 --> 00:25:29,653
Hi, Rod.
557
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:31,863
-Uh, budget meeting.
-Oh.
558
00:25:31,905 --> 00:25:34,324
-How you been?
-Fine, fine. Good to see you.
559
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:37,744
Would you ever want to come talk
to my team about leadership?
560
00:25:37,786 --> 00:25:40,455
I bring guest speakers in
for them now and then.
561
00:25:40,497 --> 00:25:41,831
-Various topics.
-Mm.
562
00:25:41,873 --> 00:25:44,376
Leadership's a big focus
of yours, isn't it?
563
00:25:44,417 --> 00:25:46,253
It is.
564
00:25:46,294 --> 00:25:47,921
Well, then, would you?
565
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:50,173
I'm sure that they would
appreciate it.
566
00:25:50,215 --> 00:25:52,801
Uh, right now,
their idea of leadership is me.
567
00:25:52,842 --> 00:25:55,262
We've got
a Child Exploitation Force
568
00:25:55,303 --> 00:25:56,930
right down the street
from there, don't we, Mark?
569
00:25:56,972 --> 00:25:58,515
I could visit both
in the same day.
570
00:25:58,557 --> 00:25:59,683
-Make it a twofer.
-Sure.
571
00:25:59,724 --> 00:26:01,768
Yeah. Great.
Contact my office,
572
00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:04,020
-will you, Rod?
-I sure will, Jim. Thanks.
573
00:26:04,062 --> 00:26:05,897
-Mm-hmm.
-[clears throat] Mark.
574
00:26:05,939 --> 00:26:07,440
slow, dramatic music
575
00:26:07,482 --> 00:26:08,775
[newswoman]
After primary wins
576
00:26:08,817 --> 00:26:11,570
in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada,
577
00:26:11,611 --> 00:26:12,487
the Trump campaign
578
00:26:12,529 --> 00:26:14,281
is charging towards Super Tuesday.
579
00:26:14,322 --> 00:26:16,866
Um, it would be messy, and it
would be bloody, but if you...
580
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:20,161
For those who say Donald Trump
cannot win, you're wrong.
581
00:26:20,203 --> 00:26:21,705
Want an entertainer in chief?
582
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:24,165
Someone who will say
whatever he wants to,
583
00:26:24,207 --> 00:26:26,084
you know, to make it...
make it all about him?
584
00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:27,460
He is heading
towards the nomination,
585
00:26:27,502 --> 00:26:29,296
but he is in conflict
with his party.
586
00:26:29,337 --> 00:26:30,755
What people are saying now is,
"Please,
587
00:26:30,797 --> 00:26:32,966
everyone get together
so we can keep this front-runner
588
00:26:33,008 --> 00:26:35,885
from winning and destroying
the Republican Party."
589
00:26:35,927 --> 00:26:37,345
[newswoman] Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton
590
00:26:37,387 --> 00:26:40,098
remains saddled with accusations of impropriety
591
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:42,350
stemming from the FBI's investigation
592
00:26:42,392 --> 00:26:43,768
into her use of e-mails
593
00:26:43,810 --> 00:26:46,021
while serving as Secretary of State.
594
00:26:46,062 --> 00:26:47,731
One party insider saying
595
00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:49,983
the only primary that matters now
596
00:26:50,025 --> 00:26:52,527
is the Comey primary.
597
00:26:52,569 --> 00:26:54,904
598
00:26:58,575 --> 00:27:00,160
Got a minute, boss?
599
00:27:00,201 --> 00:27:02,120
Sure. What's up?
600
00:27:02,162 --> 00:27:03,622
[sighs]
601
00:27:03,663 --> 00:27:06,124
Twenty-four months.
602
00:27:06,166 --> 00:27:09,961
Now that your days
of actual hard work are over...
603
00:27:10,003 --> 00:27:11,755
-[scattered laughter]
-Congratulations.
604
00:27:11,796 --> 00:27:14,299
-Thank you.
-[applause]
605
00:27:21,765 --> 00:27:24,100
[indistinct chatter]
606
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,151
[Page]
Huh. There it is.
607
00:27:33,193 --> 00:27:36,071
-Hi, Peter.
-Hey, Lisa.
608
00:27:36,112 --> 00:27:39,783
I'm sorry if I spoke out of turn
in the brief today.
609
00:27:39,824 --> 00:27:41,368
Those two are idiots,
610
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:43,453
and you should
shitcan them pronto.
611
00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:47,374
Anyone else
not up to your standards?
612
00:27:47,415 --> 00:27:49,084
Well, now that you ask, yes.
613
00:27:49,125 --> 00:27:51,044
There's a couple of losers
in the WFO
614
00:27:51,086 --> 00:27:52,170
that are really slowing us down,
615
00:27:52,212 --> 00:27:53,922
and the A.G. is no great shakes,
either.
616
00:27:53,963 --> 00:27:55,965
How about the commissioner
of baseball?
617
00:27:56,007 --> 00:27:57,759
He's retarded.
618
00:27:57,801 --> 00:27:59,094
[Strzok chuckles]
619
00:27:59,135 --> 00:28:01,429
I mean, you either have
the designated hitter
620
00:28:01,471 --> 00:28:03,973
in both leagues or not at all.
621
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:07,352
Do you want some punch?
622
00:28:19,155 --> 00:28:21,741
Got a flight to catch, boss.
623
00:28:22,784 --> 00:28:24,077
Thanks for the swell party.
624
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,079
Thanks for the two years.
625
00:28:26,121 --> 00:28:28,331
I got Andy up to speed
on a few things.
626
00:28:28,373 --> 00:28:31,668
He'll do a great job.
The guy's so smart.
627
00:28:33,211 --> 00:28:35,380
He'll learn how
to connect better with people.
628
00:28:35,422 --> 00:28:38,466
And he can reach out
anytime he needs to.
629
00:28:38,508 --> 00:28:39,759
So can you.
630
00:28:39,801 --> 00:28:42,053
I'll be taking you up on that.
631
00:28:46,307 --> 00:28:49,269
You ever want to talk through
the endgame on Hillary,
632
00:28:49,310 --> 00:28:50,103
just call.
633
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:53,398
He said while slipping
into a lifeboat. [chuckles]
634
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,859
-[chuckles]
-No. Thanks, Mark.
635
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:59,237
I owe you.
636
00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:09,706
Don't be a stranger.
637
00:29:09,748 --> 00:29:11,207
Be good, Althea.
638
00:29:11,249 --> 00:29:13,460
[chuckles softly]
Okay.
639
00:29:16,337 --> 00:29:18,256
[Page laughs]
640
00:29:18,298 --> 00:29:21,551
[Page]
Oh, my God.
641
00:29:25,388 --> 00:29:27,724
[Giuliano]
Couple things before I go?
642
00:29:27,766 --> 00:29:28,683
Sure.
643
00:29:28,725 --> 00:29:32,187
Oh, yeah.
Found these under the desk.
644
00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,022
Yours, right?
645
00:29:34,063 --> 00:29:35,815
[both chuckle]
646
00:29:37,442 --> 00:29:39,486
Keep an eye on Russia.
647
00:29:39,527 --> 00:29:42,238
I know how much bandwidth
Midyear is eating up,
648
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,449
but I don't like
what I'm seeing.
649
00:29:44,491 --> 00:29:45,408
I agree.
650
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:47,285
Every field office,
we got Shorty and Boo
651
00:29:47,327 --> 00:29:48,870
running around,
looking for Hillary's e-mails.
652
00:29:48,912 --> 00:29:51,998
-Meanwhile, we're under attack.
-I'm with you.
653
00:29:52,874 --> 00:29:55,460
One other thing.
Completely unsolicited,
654
00:29:55,502 --> 00:29:57,837
but I got to say it.
655
00:29:58,838 --> 00:30:01,341
Your counsel's
gonna become a problem,
656
00:30:01,382 --> 00:30:03,426
-I think.
-[McCabe] Lisa?
657
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:06,346
People complain to me about her.
658
00:30:06,387 --> 00:30:09,140
She rubs some the wrong way,
I know.
659
00:30:09,182 --> 00:30:11,559
-Opinionated people do that.
-She's divisive.
660
00:30:11,601 --> 00:30:13,853
She creates issues where
there don't need to be any.
661
00:30:13,895 --> 00:30:15,188
I don't let her in my briefings.
662
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,189
She's smart.
663
00:30:16,231 --> 00:30:17,816
She helps me get shit done.
664
00:30:17,857 --> 00:30:20,735
-And I like a contrarian voice.
-Hey, dummy.
665
00:30:20,777 --> 00:30:24,239
Are you hearing me?
She creates problems.
666
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,991
She rips everyone a new asshole
in meetings,
667
00:30:27,033 --> 00:30:28,451
and as soon as the boss
is around,
668
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,620
it's, "Sir,
may I raise a concern here?"
669
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:31,830
People hate that.
670
00:30:31,871 --> 00:30:33,540
You better get snapped in
to this.
671
00:30:33,581 --> 00:30:35,291
[McCabe exhales]
672
00:30:39,796 --> 00:30:43,842
-Anything else?
-Yeah, there is.
673
00:30:44,634 --> 00:30:48,471
[exhales]
This is a lunchpail culture.
674
00:30:48,513 --> 00:30:50,932
Driving a blue Porsche,
675
00:30:50,974 --> 00:30:53,142
wearing matching blue cuff links
676
00:30:53,184 --> 00:30:56,771
may not be the best message
for you to send.
677
00:30:56,813 --> 00:30:58,606
These were a gift from Jill.
678
00:30:58,648 --> 00:31:01,109
-They're on your wrists.
-Mark.
679
00:31:01,150 --> 00:31:04,529
I didn't get here
by dressing well.
680
00:31:08,116 --> 00:31:10,201
Take care of the boss, will you?
681
00:31:10,243 --> 00:31:14,205
He thinks that being right
will save him.
682
00:31:14,247 --> 00:31:15,707
It won't.
683
00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:17,250
And as smart as he is,
684
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:20,920
his political instincts
are not good.
685
00:31:23,673 --> 00:31:26,175
Good night.
686
00:31:26,217 --> 00:31:28,094
Mark.
687
00:31:29,178 --> 00:31:31,681
I'll talk to her.
688
00:31:34,392 --> 00:31:37,186
lively, up-tempo music
689
00:31:37,228 --> 00:31:39,939
690
00:31:41,691 --> 00:31:44,402
[breathes deeply]
691
00:31:53,202 --> 00:31:55,288
Hmm.
692
00:31:56,831 --> 00:31:58,124
[door opens]
693
00:32:02,670 --> 00:32:04,964
Ah, General. Good to see you.
694
00:32:05,006 --> 00:32:06,799
[Flynn]
And you, Sergei.
695
00:32:11,971 --> 00:32:13,848
General Flynn, President Putin.
696
00:32:13,890 --> 00:32:17,352
I very much appreciate
the invitation, Mr. President.
697
00:32:17,393 --> 00:32:21,064
And the-the courtesy
of this visit.
698
00:32:25,234 --> 00:32:27,362
[speaks Russian]
699
00:32:27,403 --> 00:32:28,947
"A colorful
700
00:32:28,988 --> 00:32:31,115
and talented man."
701
00:32:31,157 --> 00:32:33,493
[chuckles]
Well, he is that.
702
00:32:33,534 --> 00:32:36,204
Um, I understand, uh...
703
00:32:36,245 --> 00:32:39,874
you're not a fan
of our current president,
704
00:32:39,916 --> 00:32:42,335
Mr. Obama.
705
00:32:42,377 --> 00:32:44,462
-[chuckles] Neither am I.
-[Putin laughs]
706
00:32:44,504 --> 00:32:46,297
We think
you should enjoy the gala.
707
00:32:46,339 --> 00:32:49,050
Julian Assange
is hosting via satellite,
708
00:32:49,092 --> 00:32:52,095
and Jill Stein
will be at your table.
709
00:32:52,136 --> 00:32:55,807
She's also running
to be the U.S. president.
710
00:32:55,848 --> 00:32:58,017
Well, I guess
that pretty much sums up
711
00:32:58,059 --> 00:33:00,311
how you folks feel
about Secretary Clinton,
712
00:33:00,353 --> 00:33:01,562
-doesn't it?
-[Putin chuckling]
713
00:33:01,604 --> 00:33:03,982
[speaking Russian]
714
00:33:05,149 --> 00:33:06,526
Come.
715
00:33:06,567 --> 00:33:07,902
Let's.
716
00:33:07,944 --> 00:33:10,113
slow, dramatic music
717
00:33:10,154 --> 00:33:11,656
718
00:33:11,698 --> 00:33:14,033
[indistinct chatter]
719
00:33:23,334 --> 00:33:24,961
Caught me.
720
00:33:25,586 --> 00:33:26,754
There's been a cyber breach
721
00:33:26,796 --> 00:33:28,256
of the Democratic
National Committee.
722
00:33:28,297 --> 00:33:31,217
Looks like the hack
went all the way up to Podesta.
723
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:32,719
Foreign actors or domestic?
724
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,180
Malware led us to a string of
code that we've seen before...
725
00:33:36,222 --> 00:33:38,516
emanating from Russia.
726
00:33:38,558 --> 00:33:40,435
[sighs]
727
00:33:40,476 --> 00:33:42,937
All right,
let's start recruiting sources.
728
00:33:42,979 --> 00:33:44,105
Find out more.
729
00:33:44,147 --> 00:33:45,857
What the hell are they up to?
730
00:33:45,898 --> 00:33:46,983
[Downer]
So, uh,
731
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:49,652
you were saying, uh, Russia?
732
00:33:49,694 --> 00:33:50,778
Russia.
733
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:52,822
Wow, are those guys smart.
734
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:56,075
Do you, uh...
You know Professor Mifsud?
735
00:33:56,117 --> 00:33:57,493
Joseph Mifsud?
736
00:33:57,535 --> 00:33:59,078
-Uh, no, afraid I don't.
-Huh.
737
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,873
-Is he Russian?
-Maltan. Or Maltese.
738
00:34:01,914 --> 00:34:04,083
Maltanese.
He's from fucking Malta,
739
00:34:04,125 --> 00:34:06,377
but he has connections
in Russia.
740
00:34:06,419 --> 00:34:09,213
All the way up to Putin.
741
00:34:09,255 --> 00:34:12,300
We've been talking for months.
[clears throat]
742
00:34:12,341 --> 00:34:13,676
What about?
743
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:15,720
Hillary.
744
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:18,097
In what context?
745
00:34:18,139 --> 00:34:19,599
Russia's got dirt on her.
746
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,769
Lots of embarrassing stuff.
Thousands of e-mails.
747
00:34:22,810 --> 00:34:24,687
And they made them all
available to us.
748
00:34:24,729 --> 00:34:26,939
Well, how did they get them?
749
00:34:26,981 --> 00:34:29,984
Hacked straight out of the DNC
750
00:34:30,026 --> 00:34:31,903
and the Clinton campaign.
751
00:34:31,944 --> 00:34:34,072
And the Russians are making them
available to you?
752
00:34:34,113 --> 00:34:35,490
"We have dirt on Hillary,
753
00:34:35,531 --> 00:34:37,575
and we want to help."
That's a quote.
754
00:34:37,617 --> 00:34:39,243
They said they could
release it anonymously,
755
00:34:39,285 --> 00:34:41,412
some big data dump
on the Internet
756
00:34:41,454 --> 00:34:43,539
timed to do maximum damage
to her.
757
00:34:43,581 --> 00:34:45,416
Who else knows about this,
George?
758
00:34:45,458 --> 00:34:48,044
That's the beauty of it.
759
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:49,796
No one.
760
00:34:50,546 --> 00:34:52,465
God bless America.
761
00:34:52,507 --> 00:34:54,592
Indeed.
762
00:34:56,260 --> 00:34:58,304
We should go to France.
763
00:34:58,346 --> 00:34:59,889
Okay. When?
764
00:34:59,931 --> 00:35:00,890
2024?
765
00:35:00,932 --> 00:35:05,311
Oh, good. Good. That's good.
Distract me.
766
00:35:07,772 --> 00:35:09,649
Everything looks great,
Mr. Comey.
767
00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:11,317
The doctor doesn't see
any hot spots
768
00:35:11,359 --> 00:35:14,529
-or signs of recurrence.
-That's wonderful. Thank you.
769
00:35:14,570 --> 00:35:16,030
You're still taking the aspirin?
770
00:35:16,072 --> 00:35:16,989
Every day.
771
00:35:17,031 --> 00:35:18,574
Good. Don't want
any more blood clots.
772
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:20,868
-See you in a year.
-He still has numbness
773
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:23,913
-in his fingertips and his feet.
-That's common.
774
00:35:23,955 --> 00:35:26,499
-The chemo.
-[Patrice] Ten years out?
775
00:35:26,541 --> 00:35:27,959
Are you getting enough rest?
776
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,961
-No.
-I think so.
777
00:35:30,002 --> 00:35:32,922
[chuckles]
How you doing on stress?
778
00:35:33,923 --> 00:35:36,509
I don't imagine Hillary's
making that any easier.
779
00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:38,553
I'll tell ya, I don't know
how you keep your cool
780
00:35:38,594 --> 00:35:41,472
in the face of that kind
of arrogance and entitlement.
781
00:35:41,514 --> 00:35:43,141
I think I'd explode.
782
00:35:43,182 --> 00:35:44,350
Actually, he makes it a--
783
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:45,810
Thanks for the good news.
784
00:35:45,852 --> 00:35:47,395
We'll see you next year.
785
00:35:47,436 --> 00:35:49,814
Everyone's got an opinion,
you know?
786
00:35:49,856 --> 00:35:51,065
And the right to voice it.
787
00:35:51,107 --> 00:35:53,401
That "Crooked Hillary" stuff
is sticking to her.
788
00:35:53,442 --> 00:35:56,112
Now it's part
of your colonoscopy results.
789
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,197
[chuckles softly]
790
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:02,785
You know...
791
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:04,287
it's been a good day.
792
00:36:04,328 --> 00:36:06,831
Let's just celebrate.
793
00:36:06,873 --> 00:36:08,374
In Paris?
794
00:36:08,416 --> 00:36:10,334
Love you.
795
00:36:17,091 --> 00:36:18,176
[exhales]
796
00:36:18,217 --> 00:36:19,677
soft, hypnotic music
797
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,637
[Rosenstein] The Midyear team's investigation
798
00:36:21,679 --> 00:36:23,139
of Hillary Clinton ground on.
799
00:36:23,181 --> 00:36:26,392
They issued 56 grand jury subpoenas,
800
00:36:26,434 --> 00:36:29,812
conducted 72 voluntary witness interviews.
801
00:36:29,854 --> 00:36:32,356
Search warrants, court orders,
802
00:36:32,398 --> 00:36:33,691
immunity agreements.
803
00:36:33,733 --> 00:36:36,527
They got every last one of her laptops,
804
00:36:36,569 --> 00:36:39,488
examined them all, and found...
805
00:36:39,530 --> 00:36:40,198
Nothing.
806
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,575
No crime that any reasonable
prosecutor would charge.
807
00:36:42,617 --> 00:36:45,411
We think she's guilty of
great neglect and carelessness,
808
00:36:45,453 --> 00:36:47,371
but we don't see
anything indictable.
809
00:36:47,413 --> 00:36:50,082
The systems at State
are so arcane,
810
00:36:50,124 --> 00:36:51,292
if you wanted to charge her,
811
00:36:51,334 --> 00:36:53,669
you'd have to charge
150 other people, too.
812
00:36:53,711 --> 00:36:55,922
After poring
through the relevant case law,
813
00:36:55,963 --> 00:36:57,423
we've reached
the same conclusion.
814
00:36:57,465 --> 00:37:00,968
Neither the Espionage Act
nor Volstead apply here.
815
00:37:01,010 --> 00:37:04,347
And we think it's time
to start asking what the endgame
816
00:37:04,388 --> 00:37:05,514
on this might look like.
817
00:37:05,556 --> 00:37:07,516
In the middle of an election,
818
00:37:07,558 --> 00:37:08,476
something this visible,
819
00:37:08,517 --> 00:37:10,728
I don't think DOJ can put out
a statement reading,
820
00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:13,397
"We looked at it. We're not
prosecuting Secretary Clinton.
821
00:37:13,439 --> 00:37:17,109
Case closed." I think we need
to explain our thinking on this
822
00:37:17,151 --> 00:37:19,028
to the American people
via the press.
823
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:20,947
-We feel that way, too.
-But...
824
00:37:20,988 --> 00:37:22,406
there is a very real downside
825
00:37:22,448 --> 00:37:25,117
to having the A.G.
make a statement on this.
826
00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:27,870
It cannot appear
to be partisan in any way.
827
00:37:27,912 --> 00:37:29,247
We thought
the right approach might be
828
00:37:29,288 --> 00:37:32,250
for you and the A.G.
to make the statement jointly.
829
00:37:32,291 --> 00:37:36,003
We hold hands and jump off
the bridge together.
830
00:37:36,045 --> 00:37:38,214
How would you feel about that?
831
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:40,424
[Baker] As I see it,
you got a few options--
832
00:37:40,466 --> 00:37:41,842
all of them terrible.
833
00:37:41,884 --> 00:37:44,887
You can make a joint statement
with the A.G., as requested,
834
00:37:44,929 --> 00:37:46,430
which is... terrible,
835
00:37:46,472 --> 00:37:48,474
uh, because there's
a widespread belief,
836
00:37:48,516 --> 00:37:49,392
rightly or wrongly,
837
00:37:49,433 --> 00:37:52,228
that Loretta is overly friendly
with the Clinton campaign.
838
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:56,190
So standing beside her makes the
Bureau seem complicit as well.
839
00:37:56,232 --> 00:37:59,777
Two, you can fall back
on department norms,
840
00:37:59,819 --> 00:38:03,155
just issue a brief statement
declining the case and move on.
841
00:38:03,197 --> 00:38:06,909
That's terrible if our goal
is to show the public
842
00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:08,995
we really did try to make a case
against Hillary,
843
00:38:09,036 --> 00:38:10,413
aggressively, thoroughly.
844
00:38:10,454 --> 00:38:13,124
Then there's the idea of me
making the statement on my own.
845
00:38:13,165 --> 00:38:15,209
Well, which is the worst idea,
by a mile.
846
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:17,461
The Bureau doesn't do that.
847
00:38:17,503 --> 00:38:21,590
Ever. It-it would violate
a sacred norm
848
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:23,467
in a culture built on norms.
849
00:38:23,509 --> 00:38:26,178
And, in my opinion,
it would look horrible.
850
00:38:26,220 --> 00:38:30,099
But it's the only one that
allows us to tell the truth.
851
00:38:31,517 --> 00:38:33,394
Loretta
would never just stand there
852
00:38:33,436 --> 00:38:35,938
and allow me to explain
what Hillary did
853
00:38:35,980 --> 00:38:39,483
and why we think
it was dangerous.
854
00:38:42,695 --> 00:38:45,239
This is a first attempt
at a statement.
855
00:38:45,281 --> 00:38:47,700
It represents
our outer boundaries
856
00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:48,909
in terms of transparency.
857
00:38:48,951 --> 00:38:50,661
Uh, I really wish
you hadn't done that.
858
00:38:50,703 --> 00:38:52,747
Anything committed to writing
is discoverable.
859
00:38:52,788 --> 00:38:55,499
I'd ask you to assess
three things:
860
00:38:55,541 --> 00:38:59,086
the accuracy of the facts
laid out in the draft,
861
00:38:59,128 --> 00:39:03,257
any policy or other limitations
around making such a statement,
862
00:39:03,299 --> 00:39:05,843
and the wisdom and mechanics
of presenting it
863
00:39:05,885 --> 00:39:08,179
to the American people.
864
00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:09,638
All right?
865
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,183
soft, somber music
866
00:39:12,224 --> 00:39:15,144
867
00:39:16,103 --> 00:39:17,980
Is there anything on your mind?
868
00:39:18,022 --> 00:39:21,400
-Why?
-A little bit quiet.
869
00:39:21,442 --> 00:39:26,113
Maybe a dead-end, politically
motivated investigation
870
00:39:26,155 --> 00:39:30,826
on a certain female
presidential candidate?
871
00:39:33,579 --> 00:39:34,288
[exhales]
872
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:37,875
Do you ever worry about my ego?
873
00:39:37,917 --> 00:39:39,126
Why?
874
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:41,670
Has it not been feeling well?
875
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:44,048
876
00:39:45,466 --> 00:39:49,053
Do you want to tell me
something?
877
00:39:50,012 --> 00:39:52,890
Just that I love you, Treecy.
878
00:39:53,766 --> 00:39:56,268
-[Page] So, how'd the 302 go?
-[Strzok] Awesome.
879
00:39:56,310 --> 00:39:58,229
-He lied his ass off.
-Of course.
880
00:39:58,270 --> 00:40:01,148
Guy went from
"I was never inside the SCIF"
881
00:40:01,190 --> 00:40:04,402
to "I may have removed
the trash from there twice..."
882
00:40:04,443 --> 00:40:06,487
-Mm.
-...to "I troubleshot the fax
883
00:40:06,529 --> 00:40:07,446
in there a couple of times"
884
00:40:07,488 --> 00:40:12,159
to "Every time there was
a secure fax sent, I sent it."
885
00:40:12,201 --> 00:40:14,203
It kills me
that people lie to our face
886
00:40:14,245 --> 00:40:15,538
when they know that we know
887
00:40:15,579 --> 00:40:18,374
-that they're lying.
-I know.
888
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:22,670
Meanwhile, there's a Russian
inside everybody's computer,
889
00:40:22,711 --> 00:40:25,923
and nobody's talking about it.
890
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:27,883
[inhales]
891
00:40:27,925 --> 00:40:29,510
It's been an hour.
892
00:40:29,552 --> 00:40:31,011
We should log in.
893
00:40:31,053 --> 00:40:33,597
[grunts softly]
894
00:40:35,599 --> 00:40:38,060
soft, somber music
895
00:40:38,102 --> 00:40:41,647
896
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:46,610
Sorry.
897
00:40:46,652 --> 00:40:47,987
It's good to meet you all.
898
00:40:48,028 --> 00:40:50,072
Thank you for coming
such a long way.
899
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:51,407
We are happy to help.
900
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:53,200
Natalia, the floor is yours.
901
00:40:53,242 --> 00:40:54,869
The floor...?
902
00:40:54,910 --> 00:40:57,037
Oh. [chuckles]
I apologize.
903
00:40:57,079 --> 00:40:59,039
That's an American expression.
904
00:40:59,081 --> 00:41:01,083
It means we're ready to hear
905
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:03,544
every single disgusting detail
906
00:41:03,586 --> 00:41:06,589
of the dirt you have on Hillary.
907
00:41:08,841 --> 00:41:11,260
Amen.
908
00:41:11,302 --> 00:41:13,846
Some days,
our job is chasing Russians.
909
00:41:13,888 --> 00:41:17,808
Let's talk
about the Magnitsky Act.
910
00:41:17,850 --> 00:41:18,893
On others,
911
00:41:18,934 --> 00:41:21,228
we chase monsters.
912
00:41:21,270 --> 00:41:24,648
And Jim had to do a lot of that.
913
00:41:26,233 --> 00:41:27,610
[vibrating]
914
00:41:27,651 --> 00:41:29,945
[phone ringing in distance]
915
00:41:29,987 --> 00:41:32,490
[phones ringing]
916
00:41:32,531 --> 00:41:35,159
slow, dramatic music
917
00:41:35,201 --> 00:41:37,995
918
00:41:57,056 --> 00:42:00,476
[indistinct police transmission]
919
00:42:01,936 --> 00:42:05,648
[camera shutter clicking]
920
00:42:09,944 --> 00:42:12,821
Assemble the first responders
for me, would you?
921
00:42:12,863 --> 00:42:14,323
I want to thank them.
922
00:42:14,365 --> 00:42:17,368
[helicopter blades whirring
in distance]
923
00:42:21,622 --> 00:42:23,374
[camera shutter clicking]
924
00:42:24,667 --> 00:42:27,378
925
00:42:36,762 --> 00:42:39,348
[phone ringing]
926
00:42:40,724 --> 00:42:42,351
Not a good time, Andy.
927
00:42:42,393 --> 00:42:43,435
Sorry, boss.
928
00:42:43,477 --> 00:42:44,270
Just...
929
00:42:44,311 --> 00:42:46,730
It's about the A.G.
930
00:42:51,443 --> 00:42:54,029
-[staffer] Uh, General Lynch?
-Mm-hmm?
931
00:42:54,071 --> 00:42:56,574
Former President Clinton
is here.
932
00:42:56,615 --> 00:42:58,200
He'd like to, uh...
933
00:42:58,242 --> 00:42:59,994
pay his respects.
934
00:43:00,035 --> 00:43:01,787
Here where?
935
00:43:01,829 --> 00:43:03,581
On the tarmac. That...
936
00:43:03,622 --> 00:43:05,249
That's his plane.
937
00:43:07,710 --> 00:43:09,753
What should I tell him?
938
00:43:12,256 --> 00:43:14,091
Well...
939
00:43:14,133 --> 00:43:15,467
[exhales]
940
00:43:16,302 --> 00:43:17,136
Show him in.
941
00:43:17,177 --> 00:43:18,304
[Tanya Rivero]
An impromptu meeting
942
00:43:18,345 --> 00:43:20,848
between Attorney General Loretta
Lynch and former President
943
00:43:20,889 --> 00:43:23,934
Bill Clinton is raising questions of impropriety
944
00:43:23,976 --> 00:43:26,687
amid the ongoing FBI criminal probe
945
00:43:26,729 --> 00:43:28,564
into Hillary Clinton's e-mail server.
946
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:30,107
[reporter] At the Phoenix Airport Monday night,
947
00:43:30,149 --> 00:43:33,360
the former president saw Lynch's plane on the tarmac.
948
00:43:33,402 --> 00:43:36,030
...doesn't wait to-to schmooze
949
00:43:36,071 --> 00:43:38,365
with the attorney general
who's gonna decide whether
950
00:43:38,407 --> 00:43:40,743
-his wife is indicted or not.
-I... [groans softly]
951
00:43:40,784 --> 00:43:42,036
952
00:43:42,077 --> 00:43:44,496
[door opens]
953
00:43:45,664 --> 00:43:48,125
[Comey]
The A.G. has just announced
954
00:43:48,167 --> 00:43:51,503
that she will not recuse herself
from this investigation.
955
00:43:51,545 --> 00:43:54,632
But she will accept our
findings, whatever they may be.
956
00:43:54,673 --> 00:43:57,009
Meaning this is now on us.
957
00:43:57,051 --> 00:43:58,135
What a profile in courage.
958
00:43:58,177 --> 00:44:00,721
[Comey] I no longer believe that
I can credibly stand beside her
959
00:44:00,763 --> 00:44:04,391
to announce that Justice
is closing the Clinton case.
960
00:44:04,433 --> 00:44:06,852
This bureau
and the whole department
961
00:44:06,894 --> 00:44:10,272
will look utterly compromised
and partisan.
962
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:13,359
Does anyone see it differently?
963
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:14,485
No.
964
00:44:14,526 --> 00:44:17,112
Mm, we all agree on that.
965
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,617
But I think the public is now
going to demand an explanation
966
00:44:21,659 --> 00:44:23,827
for our declining the case.
967
00:44:23,869 --> 00:44:28,832
So I'm going to go ahead and
deliver the declination alone.
968
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:32,044
[man clears throat]
969
00:44:32,086 --> 00:44:33,712
Um...
970
00:44:33,754 --> 00:44:37,132
That could go really wrong,
boss.
971
00:44:38,008 --> 00:44:38,717
For a million reasons.
972
00:44:38,759 --> 00:44:40,969
I mean,
it is just so not what we do.
973
00:44:41,011 --> 00:44:42,179
I get that, Andy.
974
00:44:42,221 --> 00:44:44,682
And conventional wisdom
might mitigate against it.
975
00:44:44,723 --> 00:44:47,559
But this is not
a conventional circumstance.
976
00:44:47,601 --> 00:44:49,687
This is a 500-year flood.
977
00:44:49,728 --> 00:44:53,774
If we let Justice issue
a one-sentence declination now,
978
00:44:53,816 --> 00:44:56,985
it will place a corrosive doubt
about our investigation
979
00:44:57,027 --> 00:44:59,071
and, more broadly,
the rule of law
980
00:44:59,113 --> 00:45:00,864
into the public square.
981
00:45:00,906 --> 00:45:03,450
Even standing next to her
at this point
982
00:45:03,492 --> 00:45:05,285
will make our work look suspect.
983
00:45:05,327 --> 00:45:06,286
And it isn't.
984
00:45:06,328 --> 00:45:07,913
Then why not call
a special prosecutor
985
00:45:07,955 --> 00:45:08,872
and take it off our plate?
986
00:45:08,914 --> 00:45:12,668
That would be brutally unfair
to the Clinton campaign.
987
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:16,839
A world-class FBI team just
investigated her for a year.
988
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:18,757
And there is not one of us
who believes
989
00:45:18,799 --> 00:45:21,635
there is
a prosecutable case here.
990
00:45:21,677 --> 00:45:24,888
Calling for a special prosecutor
would suggest just the opposite.
991
00:45:24,930 --> 00:45:27,891
It would be a lie.
992
00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:30,018
Trisha.
993
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:32,146
I... [stammers]
994
00:45:32,187 --> 00:45:33,772
It's fine.
Withdrawn.
995
00:45:33,814 --> 00:45:36,984
No. I-I want to hear
your thinking.
996
00:45:37,025 --> 00:45:39,653
Well, I guess
what I'm thinking is
997
00:45:39,695 --> 00:45:42,489
grand juries are secret
for a reason.
998
00:45:42,531 --> 00:45:44,700
We don't comment
on the propriety
999
00:45:44,742 --> 00:45:45,951
of a subject's conduct,
1000
00:45:45,993 --> 00:45:50,330
especially during
an election year.
1001
00:45:50,372 --> 00:45:51,999
[Priestap]
DOJ's given that kind of detail
1002
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,878
about conduct in uncharged cases
when the public needs it.
1003
00:45:55,919 --> 00:45:57,212
They did it after Ferguson.
1004
00:45:57,254 --> 00:45:59,381
But the Bureau's never done it.
1005
00:45:59,423 --> 00:46:02,509
This is going to expose you
to enormous fire.
1006
00:46:02,551 --> 00:46:03,677
Unnecessarily.
1007
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:04,928
It-it will look political,
1008
00:46:04,970 --> 00:46:09,808
when our entire intent
is to appear apolitical.
1009
00:46:09,850 --> 00:46:11,810
People in D.C. know
I'm apolitical.
1010
00:46:11,852 --> 00:46:12,978
They know I'm not a hack.
1011
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:14,646
In any other year,
that might matter.
1012
00:46:14,688 --> 00:46:15,314
But not now.
1013
00:46:15,355 --> 00:46:17,733
[Rybicki]
Would Justice know ahead of time
1014
00:46:17,775 --> 00:46:19,026
-what you'd be saying?
-No.
1015
00:46:19,067 --> 00:46:20,694
I wouldn't want any appearance
of coordination
1016
00:46:20,736 --> 00:46:22,529
between the Bureau and Justice
on this.
1017
00:46:22,571 --> 00:46:24,531
We have to appear
completely independent.
1018
00:46:24,573 --> 00:46:27,910
What if Loretta or Sally
ordered you not to do it?
1019
00:46:27,951 --> 00:46:29,119
Then I would do as ordered.
1020
00:46:29,161 --> 00:46:32,414
But that's why I don't want it
to get out.
1021
00:46:32,456 --> 00:46:35,375
There's still the option
of standing beside Sally
1022
00:46:35,417 --> 00:46:36,210
to do this.
1023
00:46:36,251 --> 00:46:38,504
There is a valid argument
for that.
1024
00:46:38,545 --> 00:46:39,922
She's my immediate superior.
1025
00:46:39,963 --> 00:46:42,424
But she also reports directly
to Loretta,
1026
00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:44,968
who is now tainted.
1027
00:46:46,386 --> 00:46:48,597
I have looked at this
from every angle.
1028
00:46:48,639 --> 00:46:49,681
They're all terrible.
1029
00:46:49,723 --> 00:46:51,141
Horrible.
1030
00:46:51,183 --> 00:46:52,726
Once you embrace that,
1031
00:46:52,768 --> 00:46:56,313
this option
becomes easier to accept.
1032
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:05,823
Well...
1033
00:47:05,864 --> 00:47:09,535
if anyone can pull it off,
boss...
1034
00:47:11,286 --> 00:47:12,663
...it's you.
1035
00:47:12,704 --> 00:47:14,414
[Rosenstein]
If he'd just been
1036
00:47:14,456 --> 00:47:15,791
a little humbler,
1037
00:47:15,833 --> 00:47:17,918
a little less certain
that his morality
1038
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,712
was somehow all that mattered...
[inhales]
1039
00:47:20,754 --> 00:47:24,466
the world wouldn't
know my name today.
1040
00:47:27,219 --> 00:47:29,429
Do you see?
1041
00:47:29,471 --> 00:47:31,515
Sir, may I raise a concern?
1042
00:47:31,557 --> 00:47:32,474
Sure.
1043
00:47:32,516 --> 00:47:34,685
Paragraph three of your draft.
1044
00:47:34,726 --> 00:47:35,853
"Grossly negligent."
1045
00:47:35,894 --> 00:47:39,231
I think it's confusing to use
a term with a legal definition,
1046
00:47:39,273 --> 00:47:43,110
especially as we're not charging
her with gross negligence.
1047
00:47:43,151 --> 00:47:46,238
Let's say "extremely careless."
1048
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,907
Copy that.
1049
00:47:48,949 --> 00:47:51,368
If the country
ever starts to distrust
1050
00:47:51,410 --> 00:47:54,288
the Bureau's intentions...
1051
00:47:54,329 --> 00:47:57,165
it's a bell
that can never be unrung.
1052
00:47:57,207 --> 00:48:01,211
Jim, none of this can be unrung.
1053
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:03,005
Mark it up.
1054
00:48:03,046 --> 00:48:05,299
And be brutal.
1055
00:48:05,340 --> 00:48:06,383
Let me reframe this for you.
1056
00:48:06,425 --> 00:48:09,720
We rescue a mom and three kids
from an abusive father,
1057
00:48:09,761 --> 00:48:11,471
and you tell her
that her children
1058
00:48:11,513 --> 00:48:14,433
cannot attend her school
because of a paperwork error?
1059
00:48:14,474 --> 00:48:17,185
-[door closes]
-Uh...
1060
00:48:17,811 --> 00:48:21,356
Do you see the disconnect there?
1061
00:48:22,691 --> 00:48:25,027
That's great.
1062
00:48:26,778 --> 00:48:27,613
Thank you.
1063
00:48:27,654 --> 00:48:29,740
I'll see you Monday.
1064
00:48:29,781 --> 00:48:31,617
Maybe you should be running
the Bureau.
1065
00:48:31,658 --> 00:48:32,618
You just happened to be
1066
00:48:32,659 --> 00:48:33,785
-in the neighborhood?
-I just...
1067
00:48:33,827 --> 00:48:36,538
no, I couldn't stand the idea
of you eating alone.
1068
00:48:37,998 --> 00:48:40,792
You're gonna get clobbered, Jim.
1069
00:48:41,585 --> 00:48:44,755
Eh, got a ten-year term,
don't I?
1070
00:48:45,339 --> 00:48:47,215
quiet, pulsing music
1071
00:48:47,257 --> 00:48:50,385
1072
00:48:53,889 --> 00:48:56,308
I think we should add:
"Had these same e-mails
1073
00:48:56,350 --> 00:48:58,143
"been sent
on a state.gov system,
1074
00:48:58,185 --> 00:49:01,229
the FBI never would have
investigated this matter."
1075
00:49:01,271 --> 00:49:02,773
Let's not say "matter," huh?
1076
00:49:02,814 --> 00:49:04,566
I would also change
"It's reasonably likely
1077
00:49:04,608 --> 00:49:07,694
"that states hostile to the U.S.
gained access to her servers"
1078
00:49:07,736 --> 00:49:09,571
to "It's possible"
that they did so.
1079
00:49:09,613 --> 00:49:10,822
Forensics can't take us
any farther than that.
1080
00:49:10,864 --> 00:49:12,866
I don't think we should say
that the president was
1081
00:49:12,908 --> 00:49:14,993
one of the people
she was e-mailing with.
1082
00:49:15,035 --> 00:49:17,496
There's no reason to make
the GRU's job any easier.
1083
00:49:17,537 --> 00:49:20,958
Replace it with, uh,
"senior government official,"
1084
00:49:20,999 --> 00:49:22,876
"another
senior government official."
1085
00:49:22,918 --> 00:49:25,671
Who lives at
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
1086
00:49:25,712 --> 00:49:29,216
It's important to say
why the FBI can, in good faith,
1087
00:49:29,257 --> 00:49:32,469
recommend to DOJ that
no charges be brought here.
1088
00:49:32,511 --> 00:49:34,304
Not just because
no reasonable prosecutor
1089
00:49:34,346 --> 00:49:35,889
would bring such a case,
but because
1090
00:49:35,931 --> 00:49:37,474
it's the right thing to do.
1091
00:49:37,516 --> 00:49:40,686
But that's not the tone
of this statement at all.
1092
00:49:40,727 --> 00:49:43,814
The tone is: "I'm now going
to prove the Bureau
1093
00:49:43,855 --> 00:49:46,316
did not take it easy
on Hillary Clinton.
1094
00:49:46,358 --> 00:49:48,402
And I'm going to do that
by telling you
1095
00:49:48,443 --> 00:49:51,113
what a horrible thing
Hillary Clinton did,
1096
00:49:51,154 --> 00:49:53,573
even as I'm recommending
against prosecution
1097
00:49:53,615 --> 00:49:54,616
in her case."
1098
00:49:54,658 --> 00:49:56,827
[Page] Look, if she had
followed normal protocol
1099
00:49:56,868 --> 00:49:58,328
from the beginning,
then we wouldn't have spent
1100
00:49:58,370 --> 00:50:00,330
a year fighting with
her fucking lawyers.
1101
00:50:00,372 --> 00:50:03,166
Why does she get coddled now
for breaking protocol,
1102
00:50:03,208 --> 00:50:04,334
and possibly the law?
1103
00:50:04,376 --> 00:50:06,503
Because we've decided
not to charge her.
1104
00:50:06,545 --> 00:50:11,133
And I have real concerns about
criticizing uncharged conduct.
1105
00:50:11,174 --> 00:50:13,635
And-and I also think
that this statement
1106
00:50:13,677 --> 00:50:14,886
might violate the department's
1107
00:50:14,928 --> 00:50:16,555
election year
sensitivity policy.
1108
00:50:16,596 --> 00:50:18,974
We are not supposed to
do anything
1109
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:21,977
within six months of an election
if it might affect the outcome.
1110
00:50:22,019 --> 00:50:24,438
No, that only applies to
election-crime cases.
1111
00:50:24,479 --> 00:50:26,773
Well, then the policy
isn't broad enough,
1112
00:50:26,815 --> 00:50:28,316
but it should at least guide us.
1113
00:50:28,358 --> 00:50:31,528
Trisha, half this country
thinks these e-mails are 9/11.
1114
00:50:31,570 --> 00:50:32,738
We have to go big here.
1115
00:50:32,779 --> 00:50:34,740
Don't you think
she crossed the line?
1116
00:50:34,781 --> 00:50:37,492
I think her behavior
was appalling.
1117
00:50:37,534 --> 00:50:41,121
I think that she's been told
that she's so smart for so long
1118
00:50:41,163 --> 00:50:44,958
that she didn't think that
normal rules applied to her.
1119
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,377
But it's not our job to say so.
1120
00:50:47,419 --> 00:50:50,881
I also think the director's
gonna get slaughtered for this.
1121
00:50:53,842 --> 00:50:56,887
You may be right, Trisha.
I don't know.
1122
00:50:59,014 --> 00:51:00,891
Does everyone agree with her?
1123
00:51:01,808 --> 00:51:03,810
I think the piece is superb.
1124
00:51:03,852 --> 00:51:06,480
I think the A.G.
put us in a box,
1125
00:51:06,521 --> 00:51:08,690
and this is a credible response.
1126
00:51:12,486 --> 00:51:15,572
[Comey]
Anybody else?
1127
00:51:15,614 --> 00:51:17,199
I'm with Trisha, boss.
1128
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,159
I-I think you're underestimating
1129
00:51:19,201 --> 00:51:22,746
how poisonous the political
climate is at the moment.
1130
00:51:26,750 --> 00:51:29,294
I'm not a politician.
1131
00:51:36,384 --> 00:51:38,720
[phone ringing]
1132
00:51:41,431 --> 00:51:42,349
Yes?
1133
00:51:42,390 --> 00:51:44,017
[Comey] Good morning. I wanted to let you know
1134
00:51:44,059 --> 00:51:45,894
that I've called a press conference for today
1135
00:51:45,936 --> 00:51:47,813
to announce the Bureau's recommendation
1136
00:51:47,854 --> 00:51:50,482
on Secretary Clinton.
1137
00:51:50,524 --> 00:51:52,275
And what will you be
recommending?
1138
00:51:52,317 --> 00:51:54,903
I'm sorry, but I'm not going to answer that.
1139
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:56,363
It's, uh, it's very important
1140
00:51:56,404 --> 00:52:01,576
that I not have coordinated this
in any way with DOJ.
1141
00:52:02,410 --> 00:52:04,287
Do you understand why?
1142
00:52:04,329 --> 00:52:07,165
Today? This morning?
1143
00:52:07,207 --> 00:52:09,751
Yes. At 11:00.
1144
00:52:17,384 --> 00:52:20,470
Thank you for letting us know.
1145
00:52:22,430 --> 00:52:25,892
pensive music
1146
00:52:42,784 --> 00:52:45,036
1147
00:53:03,096 --> 00:53:04,681
Good morning.
1148
00:53:05,265 --> 00:53:06,892
I'm here to give you an update
1149
00:53:06,933 --> 00:53:08,768
on the FBI's investigation
1150
00:53:08,810 --> 00:53:11,730
of Secretary Clinton's use
of a personal email system
1151
00:53:11,771 --> 00:53:15,108
during her time
as Secretary of State.
1152
00:53:15,150 --> 00:53:18,820
After a tremendous amount
of work over the last year,
1153
00:53:18,862 --> 00:53:21,072
the FBI is completing
its investigation
1154
00:53:21,114 --> 00:53:23,491
and referring the case
to the Department of Justice
1155
00:53:23,533 --> 00:53:25,869
for a prosecutive decision.
1156
00:53:25,911 --> 00:53:30,749
What I would like to do today
is to tell you three things:
1157
00:53:30,790 --> 00:53:33,460
what we did, what we found,
1158
00:53:33,501 --> 00:53:36,296
and what we are recommending
to the Department of Justice.
1159
00:53:36,338 --> 00:53:37,672
[Kate Bolduan]
His announcement caught
1160
00:53:37,714 --> 00:53:38,715
a lot of people off guard.
1161
00:53:38,757 --> 00:53:40,675
You know how Washington works.
Not knowing
1162
00:53:40,717 --> 00:53:42,802
the theme of a...
of a press conference
1163
00:53:42,844 --> 00:53:44,304
is not something that's
very typical.
1164
00:53:44,346 --> 00:53:45,513
Sean, your candidate,
Donald Trump,
1165
00:53:45,555 --> 00:53:47,474
the presumed Republican nominee
just tweeted.
1166
00:53:47,515 --> 00:53:49,059
He said, "The system is rigged.
1167
00:53:49,100 --> 00:53:51,686
General Petraeus got
in trouble for far less.
1168
00:53:51,728 --> 00:53:55,982
Very, very unfair!
As usual, bad judgment."
1169
00:53:56,024 --> 00:53:57,317
[Manu Raju]
Republicans believe that
1170
00:53:57,359 --> 00:53:58,526
he made the wrong decision
1171
00:53:58,568 --> 00:54:01,488
in not referring this case to the Justice Department.
1172
00:54:01,529 --> 00:54:04,407
They believe that she was given preferential treatment
1173
00:54:04,449 --> 00:54:05,867
in that decision to not
1174
00:54:05,909 --> 00:54:08,036
prosecute this case even further.
1175
00:54:08,078 --> 00:54:10,455
They say this is a clear violation of federal law,
1176
00:54:10,497 --> 00:54:12,832
so expect to hear questions about why
1177
00:54:12,874 --> 00:54:14,626
Comey made this decision.
1178
00:54:14,668 --> 00:54:16,711
And from Comey's perspective, he believes...
1179
00:54:16,753 --> 00:54:19,881
Are you sure you want
to watch this?
1180
00:54:19,923 --> 00:54:21,383
Everybody else is.
1181
00:54:21,424 --> 00:54:22,801
[Boris Epshteyn]
...that what Comey stated
1182
00:54:22,842 --> 00:54:25,345
is that Hillary Clinton should have been fired from her job.
1183
00:54:25,387 --> 00:54:26,972
By who? President Obama, if she were still...
1184
00:54:27,013 --> 00:54:29,724
[weather reporter] ...and high temperatures moving back
1185
00:54:29,766 --> 00:54:31,309
just in time for the weekend.
1186
00:54:31,351 --> 00:54:33,812
Those are your local weather headlines.
1187
00:54:33,853 --> 00:54:35,480
And now...
1188
00:54:35,522 --> 00:54:38,984
At least I'm finished
with her e-mails already.
1189
00:54:39,025 --> 00:54:41,987
Daddy, I don't think so.
1190
00:54:42,028 --> 00:54:45,156
[crowd]
Lock her up! Lock her up!
1191
00:54:45,198 --> 00:54:50,829
Lock her up! Lock her up!
Lock her up! Lock her up!
1192
00:54:50,870 --> 00:54:53,331
The latest e-mails released
by Wikileaks suggest that
1193
00:54:53,373 --> 00:54:56,251
top officials at the
Democratic National Committee
1194
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:59,629
planned to undermine Bernie
Sanders' presidential campaign.
1195
00:54:59,671 --> 00:55:02,424
We have more material
related to the...
1196
00:55:02,465 --> 00:55:04,843
Hillary Clinton, uh, campaign.
1197
00:55:04,884 --> 00:55:08,346
The FBI is now investigating
the hack that led to
1198
00:55:08,388 --> 00:55:11,433
the leak of Democratic
National Committee e-mails.
1199
00:55:11,474 --> 00:55:14,936
That's Sporyshev, Podobnyy.
1200
00:55:15,937 --> 00:55:18,815
-How recent are these shots?
-Within a week.
1201
00:55:18,857 --> 00:55:20,483
Really?
1202
00:55:24,362 --> 00:55:25,363
Okay, Russia.
1203
00:55:25,405 --> 00:55:27,949
-Bill?
-[clears throat]
1204
00:55:31,953 --> 00:55:33,330
Who picks these file names?
1205
00:55:33,371 --> 00:55:36,499
[McCabe]
Randomly generated in C.I.
1206
00:55:38,626 --> 00:55:43,173
His name's George Papadopoulos,
advisor to the Trump campaign.
1207
00:55:43,214 --> 00:55:44,507
We've just learned that
in March,
1208
00:55:44,549 --> 00:55:46,301
Papadopoulos told
an Australian diplomat
1209
00:55:46,343 --> 00:55:48,803
that the Russian government had dirt in the form of
1210
00:55:48,845 --> 00:55:50,430
e-mails on Secretary Clinton,
1211
00:55:50,472 --> 00:55:53,224
and had offered it
to the Trump team.
1212
00:55:53,266 --> 00:55:54,309
Say more.
1213
00:55:54,351 --> 00:55:56,144
Diplomat didn't think much of it
1214
00:55:56,186 --> 00:55:58,229
until last week,
when he saw that the Russians
1215
00:55:58,271 --> 00:55:59,439
had hacked the DNC.
1216
00:55:59,481 --> 00:56:01,483
How high up is Papadopoulos?
1217
00:56:01,524 --> 00:56:04,903
He had a hand in writing Trump's
first foreign policy speech,
1218
00:56:04,944 --> 00:56:06,363
the Mayflower Hotel address,
1219
00:56:06,404 --> 00:56:07,739
which was basically
a love letter
1220
00:56:07,781 --> 00:56:09,991
to the Russian government.
1221
00:56:10,033 --> 00:56:10,992
Okay.
1222
00:56:11,034 --> 00:56:13,370
If Russia were going
to make other contacts
1223
00:56:13,411 --> 00:56:14,829
inside the Trump campaign,
1224
00:56:14,871 --> 00:56:17,207
who would be their
likely targets?
1225
00:56:17,248 --> 00:56:18,416
[all]
Carter Page.
1226
00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:19,876
[Comey]
Carter Page.
1227
00:56:19,918 --> 00:56:22,545
[Priestap] Yeah,
we briefed you on him in '14,
1228
00:56:22,587 --> 00:56:24,381
when he was working
at Merrill Lynch Moscow.
1229
00:56:24,422 --> 00:56:27,175
The GRU recruited him
as an asset.
1230
00:56:27,217 --> 00:56:28,593
The guy's a dope.
1231
00:56:28,635 --> 00:56:30,220
He was living in his car
not long ago.
1232
00:56:30,261 --> 00:56:33,515
But he was the first member of
Trump's national security team.
1233
00:56:33,556 --> 00:56:34,474
He's blinking red.
1234
00:56:34,516 --> 00:56:37,018
How high up is he?
Who does he report to?
1235
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:40,897
In Russia or on the campaign?
1236
00:56:43,274 --> 00:56:44,401
You know General Flynn.
1237
00:56:44,442 --> 00:56:47,821
Fired by President Obama
two years ago.
1238
00:56:47,862 --> 00:56:49,155
He was paid $45,000
1239
00:56:49,197 --> 00:56:50,949
by Russia Today last December
1240
00:56:50,990 --> 00:56:53,159
to speak at their gala
in Moscow,
1241
00:56:53,201 --> 00:56:54,452
where he sat next to Putin.
1242
00:56:54,494 --> 00:56:58,206
He was also paid to lobby
for Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
1243
00:56:58,248 --> 00:56:59,999
Now a senior advisor to Trump.
1244
00:57:00,041 --> 00:57:01,626
We tried to bump him with a CHS.
1245
00:57:01,668 --> 00:57:02,544
We're not getting anything.
1246
00:57:02,585 --> 00:57:04,838
Let's see if we can
develop anything else.
1247
00:57:04,879 --> 00:57:05,755
Who's next?
1248
00:57:05,797 --> 00:57:07,632
You know Paul Manafort.
1249
00:57:07,674 --> 00:57:10,343
Also under
criminal investigation
1250
00:57:10,385 --> 00:57:12,429
since 2014.
1251
00:57:13,346 --> 00:57:15,014
He's on the payroll
of Russian oligarchs,
1252
00:57:15,056 --> 00:57:16,057
Oleg Deripaska
1253
00:57:16,099 --> 00:57:18,268
and Dmytro Firtash,
for ten million a year.
1254
00:57:18,309 --> 00:57:20,812
He's got close ties
to Konstantin Kilimnik
1255
00:57:20,854 --> 00:57:22,564
of Russian intel,
and he served
1256
00:57:22,605 --> 00:57:25,150
as a paid lobbyist to a bunch
of Russian-backed officials
1257
00:57:25,191 --> 00:57:26,192
in Ukraine.
1258
00:57:26,234 --> 00:57:28,903
Now he's serving as
Trump's campaign chair.
1259
00:57:28,945 --> 00:57:30,780
Also blinking red.
1260
00:57:30,822 --> 00:57:33,158
Why are there four guys
with ties to Russia
1261
00:57:33,199 --> 00:57:33,908
on one campaign?
1262
00:57:33,950 --> 00:57:36,870
Maybe Trump doesn't
vet people very well.
1263
00:57:36,911 --> 00:57:38,705
Maybe he does.
1264
00:57:38,746 --> 00:57:41,458
We're starting to see propaganda
about Secretary Clinton
1265
00:57:41,499 --> 00:57:43,460
from Radio Sputnik
and Russia Today
1266
00:57:43,501 --> 00:57:47,046
showing up verbatim
in Trump's stump speeches.
1267
00:57:47,088 --> 00:57:49,466
I don't know that
it's coordinated, but...
1268
00:57:49,507 --> 00:57:52,719
Obviously, we're going to keep
this extremely close-hold.
1269
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,013
Any connection between
Russian efforts
1270
00:57:55,054 --> 00:57:57,223
to influence this election
and the Trump campaign
1271
00:57:57,265 --> 00:57:59,476
is a very serious
and explosive matter.
1272
00:57:59,517 --> 00:58:02,103
I don't want it mentioned
in morning briefings.
1273
00:58:02,145 --> 00:58:05,148
Thanks, everyone.
We'll skinny down now.
1274
00:58:08,735 --> 00:58:10,737
Can someone find out why
I keep seeing
1275
00:58:10,778 --> 00:58:14,199
Rudy Giuliani on TV saying
things about our investigations
1276
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:15,575
that he shouldn't know?
1277
00:58:15,617 --> 00:58:17,410
We suspect another leak at NYO.
1278
00:58:17,452 --> 00:58:20,747
Well, plug it, will you?
Before I go rip-shit?
1279
00:58:20,788 --> 00:58:22,874
Yes, sir.
1280
00:58:23,833 --> 00:58:26,503
It really frosts me.
1281
00:58:26,544 --> 00:58:27,378
Yes, sir.
1282
00:58:27,420 --> 00:58:29,506
[McCabe] You've got a leaker in your office.
1283
00:58:29,547 --> 00:58:31,424
Want to give me
some context, Andy?
1284
00:58:31,466 --> 00:58:34,677
Rudy Giuliani is on TV nonstop
since the declination
1285
00:58:34,719 --> 00:58:37,388
predicting things that
he shouldn't know.
1286
00:58:38,389 --> 00:58:39,766
Now, I know you've got a bunch of Hillary haters
1287
00:58:39,807 --> 00:58:41,809
up there pissed off that we dropped her case.
1288
00:58:41,851 --> 00:58:43,436
You've got to shut this down, Bill.
1289
00:58:43,478 --> 00:58:45,522
You sure it wasn't
one of the formers?
1290
00:58:45,563 --> 00:58:46,940
They've got the ties to Rudy.
1291
00:58:46,981 --> 00:58:49,567
The formers wouldn't have access
to the kind of intel
1292
00:58:49,609 --> 00:58:50,693
that he's revealing.
1293
00:58:50,735 --> 00:58:52,820
Could be SDNY.
He's got ties there, too.
1294
00:58:52,862 --> 00:58:55,240
Let me level-set this
for you, Bill.
1295
00:58:55,281 --> 00:58:56,449
Reign your guys in.
1296
00:58:56,491 --> 00:58:57,784
You fire people if you have to,
1297
00:58:57,825 --> 00:59:00,912
but get your office's
shit together.
1298
00:59:01,829 --> 00:59:03,373
Will do.
1299
00:59:06,876 --> 00:59:09,045
Thanks.
1300
00:59:12,215 --> 00:59:13,299
Ma'am?
1301
00:59:13,341 --> 00:59:14,467
Hello, Justin.
1302
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:16,594
I thought you might want
another soda.
1303
00:59:16,636 --> 00:59:20,223
Oh, no. Just one a day.
But thank you.
1304
00:59:21,474 --> 00:59:22,892
Have a seat.
1305
00:59:22,934 --> 00:59:24,727
Really?
1306
00:59:24,769 --> 00:59:26,062
Sure.
1307
00:59:33,152 --> 00:59:35,405
Mind if I ask you, ma'am...
1308
00:59:35,446 --> 00:59:38,241
what is that in the frame?
1309
00:59:38,283 --> 00:59:42,078
That was from
my first trial ever.
1310
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,414
Pro bono case when I was
1311
00:59:44,455 --> 00:59:45,873
at King & Spalding.
1312
00:59:45,915 --> 00:59:48,793
An all-white jury that found
for an African-American woman
1313
00:59:48,835 --> 00:59:52,422
named Lovie Morrison
against a... a white family
1314
00:59:52,463 --> 00:59:56,009
trying to steal her land
in Barrow County, Georgia.
1315
00:59:56,050 --> 00:59:59,721
And that cloth was the deed.
1316
01:00:01,723 --> 01:00:03,641
I had never tried a case before.
1317
01:00:03,683 --> 01:00:05,393
I didn't even know
where to stand.
1318
01:00:05,435 --> 01:00:08,146
My star witness was
a bootlegger's wife.
1319
01:00:08,187 --> 01:00:09,897
But...
1320
01:00:09,939 --> 01:00:13,109
that jury did right anyway.
1321
01:00:13,151 --> 01:00:15,403
And you remember that
next time somebody tells you
1322
01:00:15,445 --> 01:00:18,156
this country can't be
its best self.
1323
01:00:18,197 --> 01:00:20,950
Or the law doesn't matter.
1324
01:00:22,410 --> 01:00:25,038
Thank you, ma'am.
1325
01:00:25,079 --> 01:00:27,665
I'll let you get back
to your work.
1326
01:00:27,707 --> 01:00:30,001
Night, Justin.
1327
01:00:36,591 --> 01:00:37,759
[thunder rumbles]
1328
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,429
[Priestap] Boss, we've now
been presented a dossier
1329
01:00:41,471 --> 01:00:45,016
concerning Russia and its
possible connection to Trump.
1330
01:00:45,058 --> 01:00:47,018
We've not independently
corroborated
1331
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,895
any of the conclusions here,
but...
1332
01:00:48,936 --> 01:00:50,730
they come from
a highly credible source,
1333
01:00:50,772 --> 01:00:54,025
ex-MI6, who has a history
of cooperation with the Bureau
1334
01:00:54,067 --> 01:00:55,860
and the rest of the I.C.
1335
01:00:55,902 --> 01:00:58,488
Then let's hear it.
1336
01:00:59,530 --> 01:01:02,784
The dossier asserts that Putin
began cultivating Trump
1337
01:01:02,825 --> 01:01:04,369
as an asset more than five years
1338
01:01:04,410 --> 01:01:06,245
prior to his entry
into politics.
1339
01:01:06,287 --> 01:01:08,164
They traded favors with him.
1340
01:01:08,206 --> 01:01:10,958
They aided his Miss Universe pageant.
1341
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,169
They offered their help in
future Trump real estate deals
1342
01:01:13,211 --> 01:01:16,047
within Russia, including
the Trump Tower in Moscow.
1343
01:01:16,089 --> 01:01:18,633
And granted him access to hundreds of millions
1344
01:01:18,675 --> 01:01:22,387
in loans from banks controlled by the Russian oligarchy
1345
01:01:22,428 --> 01:01:24,305
just as U.S. banks
had declared Trump
1346
01:01:24,347 --> 01:01:26,224
to be an unworthy credit risk.
1347
01:01:26,265 --> 01:01:28,184
It was a years-long effort to...
1348
01:01:28,226 --> 01:01:32,605
recruit and maintain Trump as an assetof the FSB
1349
01:01:32,647 --> 01:01:34,607
with the long-term goal of...
1350
01:01:34,649 --> 01:01:38,861
using him to sow discord
and disunity within the U.S.
1351
01:01:40,238 --> 01:01:42,782
The dossier further asserts
that since last year,
1352
01:01:42,824 --> 01:01:46,911
the Trump campaign has "accepted
a regular flow of intelligence
1353
01:01:46,953 --> 01:01:50,623
from the Kremlin
on his political rivals."
1354
01:01:50,665 --> 01:01:53,751
Again, we have not corroborated
any of this independently,
1355
01:01:53,793 --> 01:01:56,754
and it should be noted
that the original financier
1356
01:01:56,796 --> 01:01:59,215
of the dossier was
a Republican "Never Trumper,"
1357
01:01:59,257 --> 01:02:00,758
and the funds to finish
the dossier
1358
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,928
then came from the Democrats.
1359
01:02:03,970 --> 01:02:06,222
Go on.
1360
01:02:09,225 --> 01:02:12,478
The dossier holds
that the FSB's main leverage
1361
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:14,272
over Trump is likely blackmail,
1362
01:02:14,313 --> 01:02:16,941
made possible because the Russians had videos
1363
01:02:16,983 --> 01:02:21,237
of Trump engaging in "perverted sexual acts"
1364
01:02:21,279 --> 01:02:23,197
when he stayed in the Presidential Suite
1365
01:02:23,239 --> 01:02:26,617
of Moscow's Ritz-Carlton hotel in 2013.
1366
01:02:26,659 --> 01:02:32,248
Specifically,
a "golden showers show."
1367
01:02:35,209 --> 01:02:38,463
I'm-I'm sorry.
What-what does that mean?
1368
01:02:39,881 --> 01:02:44,761
It means, uh, they defiled a bed
that Barack and Michelle Obama
1369
01:02:44,802 --> 01:02:49,599
slept in during a state visit
by urinating on it, sir.
1370
01:02:50,683 --> 01:02:52,935
-I see.
-Again, the Bureau has not yet
1371
01:02:52,977 --> 01:02:55,730
been able to independently
corroborate the claim,
1372
01:02:55,772 --> 01:03:00,693
or any of the conclusions here,
but... given what we now know
1373
01:03:00,735 --> 01:03:03,696
of Trump's complicated
financial ties to Russian banks,
1374
01:03:03,738 --> 01:03:05,698
his loans from known oligarchs,
1375
01:03:05,740 --> 01:03:09,327
his ongoing attempt to get
that tower built in Moscow,
1376
01:03:09,368 --> 01:03:11,704
the dossier does provide
a plausible,
1377
01:03:11,746 --> 01:03:14,874
if alarming working theory:
1378
01:03:14,916 --> 01:03:17,627
Russia has compromised Trump.
1379
01:03:19,670 --> 01:03:23,007
That supposition
does not leave this room.
1380
01:03:23,049 --> 01:03:26,093
Let's just find out
if it's true.
1381
01:03:26,135 --> 01:03:28,095
How aggressively?
1382
01:03:28,137 --> 01:03:30,014
The harder we pursue,
the more likely we are
1383
01:03:30,056 --> 01:03:31,057
to burn our source.
1384
01:03:31,098 --> 01:03:32,642
We can't think that way
on this one.
1385
01:03:32,683 --> 01:03:35,436
We can't take the traditional,
years-long C.I. approach.
1386
01:03:35,478 --> 01:03:36,979
-Why not?
-Because what if candidate Trump
1387
01:03:37,021 --> 01:03:38,648
becomes President Trump
before we've determined
1388
01:03:38,689 --> 01:03:40,775
whether or not
any of this is true?
1389
01:03:40,817 --> 01:03:42,193
If he takes office
1390
01:03:42,235 --> 01:03:44,070
and we still think
he may be a Russian asset,
1391
01:03:44,111 --> 01:03:45,321
how do we share intel with him?
1392
01:03:45,363 --> 01:03:47,198
How do we vet his
national security nominees?
1393
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,867
Just find out if it's true.
1394
01:03:51,661 --> 01:03:53,454
Get me Jim Clapper.
1395
01:03:53,496 --> 01:03:55,957
Mr. President, as you know,
for the past year,
1396
01:03:55,998 --> 01:03:58,084
we've been watching
the Russians engage
1397
01:03:58,125 --> 01:04:00,461
in a multifaceted
influence campaign
1398
01:04:00,503 --> 01:04:05,633
concerning our election,
directed by Putin himself.
1399
01:04:05,675 --> 01:04:06,843
Cyber espionage,
1400
01:04:06,884 --> 01:04:10,471
propaganda across
all social media platforms,
1401
01:04:10,513 --> 01:04:14,058
hacking DNC e-mails
and then releasing them
1402
01:04:14,100 --> 01:04:17,228
at the moment of maximum damage.
1403
01:04:17,270 --> 01:04:19,564
Now, the goal of this effort,
in our assessment,
1404
01:04:19,605 --> 01:04:22,275
had been to harm our democracy,
1405
01:04:22,316 --> 01:04:27,446
weaken Secretary of State
Clinton's future presidency.
1406
01:04:27,488 --> 01:04:30,116
We can now say
with a high degree of confidence
1407
01:04:30,157 --> 01:04:32,535
the Russians have a third goal.
1408
01:04:32,577 --> 01:04:36,330
They are trying to secure
the election of Donald Trump,
1409
01:04:36,372 --> 01:04:38,124
by any and all means.
1410
01:04:38,165 --> 01:04:41,919
-Who else knows about this?
-It's extremely close-hold.
1411
01:04:41,961 --> 01:04:45,172
A very small circle
within the I.C.
1412
01:04:46,632 --> 01:04:48,968
Does it make sense to alert
the public of this attack?
1413
01:04:49,010 --> 01:04:51,637
Sir, w-we have
some disagreement on that.
1414
01:04:51,679 --> 01:04:53,890
Mike and I think
it's the right thing to do.
1415
01:04:53,931 --> 01:04:56,934
But there is a compelling
argument against it.
1416
01:04:56,976 --> 01:04:58,102
[Comey]
It might achieve
1417
01:04:58,144 --> 01:04:59,687
the Russians' goals
by undermining
1418
01:04:59,729 --> 01:05:02,648
the public's confidence
in our electoral system.
1419
01:05:02,690 --> 01:05:06,861
Well, I'm determined
not to do that.
1420
01:05:06,903 --> 01:05:09,614
Do the Russians
know we have this?
1421
01:05:09,655 --> 01:05:14,452
Mr. President, I'm not
entirely sure that they care.
1422
01:05:14,493 --> 01:05:16,120
[Rosenstein]
Crossfire Hurricane
1423
01:05:16,162 --> 01:05:18,789
suddenly became
priority number one.
1424
01:05:18,831 --> 01:05:21,042
Then came Anthony Weiner.
1425
01:05:21,083 --> 01:05:22,418
[commentator]
Anthony Weiner caught
1426
01:05:22,460 --> 01:05:24,337
in yet another sexting scandal.
1427
01:05:24,378 --> 01:05:26,380
The disgraced former congressman, husband
1428
01:05:26,422 --> 01:05:29,717
to longtime and powerful Hillary Clinton advisor
1429
01:05:29,759 --> 01:05:32,637
Huma Abedin, humiliated once again,
1430
01:05:32,678 --> 01:05:35,723
this time on the front page of the New York Post.
1431
01:05:35,765 --> 01:05:37,558
Abedin said, "I have made the decision
1432
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,352
to separate from my husband."
1433
01:05:39,393 --> 01:05:42,063
Trump couldn't resist
weighing in on the separation,
1434
01:05:42,104 --> 01:05:43,814
accusing Clinton of bad judgment
1435
01:05:43,856 --> 01:05:46,859
for having someone like Weiner
in her orbit.
1436
01:05:46,901 --> 01:05:48,653
Elaine, we notice that Weiner
1437
01:05:48,694 --> 01:05:51,530
has now deleted
his Twitter account,
1438
01:05:51,572 --> 01:05:53,240
about five and a half years
too late.
1439
01:05:53,282 --> 01:05:56,577
slow, dramatic music
1440
01:05:56,619 --> 01:05:58,579
1441
01:06:01,290 --> 01:06:03,292
[cabinet door opens]
1442
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,767
suspenseful music
1443
01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:22,103
1444
01:06:28,025 --> 01:06:30,444
Holy shit.
1445
01:06:30,486 --> 01:06:33,531
[Sweeney]
There are 141,000 e-mails
1446
01:06:33,572 --> 01:06:36,367
on the laptop that might
be relevant to Midyear Exam
1447
01:06:36,409 --> 01:06:40,204
associated with seven domains,
primarily state.gov,
1448
01:06:40,246 --> 01:06:45,668
clintonaccount.net
and clinton-foundationfund.net.
1449
01:06:45,710 --> 01:06:48,671
Now, as I said,
NYO only has the legal authority
1450
01:06:48,713 --> 01:06:50,631
to look at the material
on the Weiner laptop
1451
01:06:50,673 --> 01:06:54,051
relevant to the sex crime
charges against him.
1452
01:06:54,093 --> 01:06:55,845
We can't look at any of the Midyear stuff,
1453
01:06:55,886 --> 01:06:57,930
nothing to which Abedin was a party.
1454
01:06:57,972 --> 01:06:59,849
Andy, it's our feeling here
that, uh,
1455
01:06:59,890 --> 01:07:01,559
you're gonna have
to get a new warrant.
1456
01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:04,645
Okay. CD and NYO personnel should connect on this,
1457
01:07:04,687 --> 01:07:05,938
figure out what you have there.
1458
01:07:05,980 --> 01:07:07,440
Hopefully it's all just duplicates
1459
01:07:07,481 --> 01:07:09,608
-of what we've already seen.
-Duplicates?
1460
01:07:09,650 --> 01:07:11,235
[Sweeney] Uh, the time frames
overlap with the periods
1461
01:07:11,277 --> 01:07:13,404
you're looking at here.
I mean, this is very much
1462
01:07:13,446 --> 01:07:15,031
-in the Midyear lane.
-We did such
1463
01:07:15,072 --> 01:07:17,283
a thorough scrub before, this is likely all duplicates
1464
01:07:17,324 --> 01:07:18,951
-of what we've already seen.
-Okay, Andy, we--
1465
01:07:18,993 --> 01:07:21,412
Listen, Bill, can we take this off-line?
1466
01:07:21,454 --> 01:07:24,373
I have to get to Quantico. I'll call you from the car.
1467
01:07:24,415 --> 01:07:27,251
-Sure.
-[Page] What a shitshow.
1468
01:07:27,293 --> 01:07:29,754
I don't think it's a crank lead,
but there are all kinds
1469
01:07:29,795 --> 01:07:32,965
of process issues attached
to it and technical issues, too.
1470
01:07:33,007 --> 01:07:34,216
My guess is it's something
1471
01:07:34,258 --> 01:07:36,135
we wait until the first
of the year to deal with.
1472
01:07:36,177 --> 01:07:37,887
-Hmm.
-Anyway, I'm, uh,
1473
01:07:37,928 --> 01:07:40,765
-I'm going up there tomorrow.
-You're a dick.
1474
01:07:40,806 --> 01:07:42,933
Leaving me here with all this
fake e-mail hysteria
1475
01:07:42,975 --> 01:07:44,643
while you're lounging
on the Acela?
1476
01:07:44,685 --> 01:07:46,187
Well, somebody's got to do it.
1477
01:07:46,228 --> 01:07:49,565
Like I said. Dick.
1478
01:07:53,027 --> 01:07:56,697
[Page] Trump can't
become president, right?
1479
01:08:00,701 --> 01:08:02,495
Right?
1480
01:08:02,536 --> 01:08:03,996
No. He won't.
1481
01:08:04,038 --> 01:08:05,247
We'll stop him.
1482
01:08:05,289 --> 01:08:07,958
"We" as in the Bureau?
You just gave me a boner.
1483
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,212
No, "we" as in the public.
1484
01:08:11,253 --> 01:08:14,215
That's who you're counting on?
Oh, honey.
1485
01:08:14,256 --> 01:08:16,550
[laughs softly]
1486
01:08:16,592 --> 01:08:17,843
[Page grunts]
1487
01:08:17,885 --> 01:08:20,012
pensive music
1488
01:08:20,054 --> 01:08:22,389
1489
01:08:33,984 --> 01:08:35,444
[McCabe]
I just got a call from NYO,
1490
01:08:35,486 --> 01:08:39,448
asking where we were
on the Anthony Weiner laptop.
1491
01:08:42,409 --> 01:08:44,829
Where are we
on the Anthony Weiner laptop?
1492
01:08:44,870 --> 01:08:45,746
We're behind.
1493
01:08:45,788 --> 01:08:47,873
We were unable to begin the
carving process on the laptop
1494
01:08:47,915 --> 01:08:50,000
in New York last month
due to legal limitations.
1495
01:08:50,042 --> 01:08:51,585
We needed either
a new search warrant
1496
01:08:51,627 --> 01:08:53,629
or a modification
of the prior one.
1497
01:08:53,671 --> 01:08:56,173
And did we seek a new warrant
or a modification?
1498
01:08:56,215 --> 01:08:59,385
No. There was
a miscommunication.
1499
01:08:59,426 --> 01:09:03,180
But we now know that the laptop
contains 347,000 e-mails,
1500
01:09:03,222 --> 01:09:07,643
including backups of Secretary
Clinton's BlackBerry e-mails.
1501
01:09:09,311 --> 01:09:10,521
Her BlackBerry e-mails.
1502
01:09:10,563 --> 01:09:12,356
-Yeah.
-The ones we did not have
1503
01:09:12,398 --> 01:09:13,774
access to in round one.
1504
01:09:13,816 --> 01:09:15,985
The ones that might
prove criminal intent?
1505
01:09:16,026 --> 01:09:17,278
Yes.
1506
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:19,196
I see.
1507
01:09:19,238 --> 01:09:23,033
So we are now 15 days before
a presidential election,
1508
01:09:23,075 --> 01:09:26,829
and we have to go through
347,000 e-mails
1509
01:09:26,871 --> 01:09:29,456
to determine if one of
the candidates in that election
1510
01:09:29,498 --> 01:09:30,958
needs to be indicted,
1511
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,044
and we could have had
that answer a month ago?
1512
01:09:34,086 --> 01:09:35,880
Yes, sir.
1513
01:09:35,921 --> 01:09:38,174
[phone vibrates]
1514
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,018
[sets phone down]
1515
01:09:51,312 --> 01:09:55,024
-Was that Andy?
-Yeah. Why?
1516
01:09:55,774 --> 01:09:57,985
So is this.
1517
01:09:58,736 --> 01:10:00,487
I'm aware.
1518
01:10:01,113 --> 01:10:02,656
-And?
-And I think it's crap.
1519
01:10:02,698 --> 01:10:04,575
A story like that brings
an unnecessary vector
1520
01:10:04,617 --> 01:10:05,951
of suspicion upon the Bureau.
1521
01:10:05,993 --> 01:10:07,995
He must have told you
about the contribution, right?
1522
01:10:08,037 --> 01:10:11,081
I mean, he'd have to have,
before he had anything to do
1523
01:10:11,123 --> 01:10:14,168
with an investigation
into Hillary.
1524
01:10:17,963 --> 01:10:21,258
Jill should never have run,
anyway.
1525
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:25,012
No Democrat was ever gonna win
in Loudoun County.
1526
01:10:25,054 --> 01:10:28,307
It was long before he became
a deputy, and he's doing fine.
1527
01:10:28,349 --> 01:10:29,391
He's working his tail off.
1528
01:10:29,433 --> 01:10:31,477
Jim, don't go Jimmy Stewart
on this one.
1529
01:10:31,518 --> 01:10:34,521
He's an operator. Mr. Porsche.
1530
01:10:34,563 --> 01:10:38,025
No law against driving
a Porsche, Treecy.
1531
01:10:44,156 --> 01:10:46,575
Doesn't it make you angry?
1532
01:10:48,410 --> 01:10:50,037
Anger doesn't help.
1533
01:10:50,079 --> 01:10:52,623
[McCabe]
Boss, the Anthony Weiner laptop
1534
01:10:52,665 --> 01:10:54,875
that NYO recovered last month.
1535
01:10:54,917 --> 01:10:56,418
[Comey]
Okay.
1536
01:10:56,460 --> 01:11:00,214
It contains e-mail metadata from Secretary Clinton.
1537
01:11:00,256 --> 01:11:02,007
From her BlackBerry domain account,
1538
01:11:02,049 --> 01:11:05,052
which she used in her first three months at State.
1539
01:11:05,094 --> 01:11:06,762
As you know, these were the e-mails
1540
01:11:06,804 --> 01:11:10,599
we did not have access to in our initial investigation.
1541
01:11:13,018 --> 01:11:14,687
I-If any e-mails were going to indicate
1542
01:11:14,728 --> 01:11:18,524
criminal intent on her part, it would be these.
1543
01:11:18,565 --> 01:11:22,319
I see. And we discovered these
last month?
1544
01:11:22,361 --> 01:11:23,529
Yes, sir.
1545
01:11:23,570 --> 01:11:25,364
I did mention it to you initially.
1546
01:11:25,406 --> 01:11:27,992
I imagine you didn't index it.
1547
01:11:28,033 --> 01:11:29,201
No.
1548
01:11:29,243 --> 01:11:30,869
Andy, you can drop off now.
1549
01:11:30,911 --> 01:11:32,204
I don't need you on this call.
1550
01:11:32,246 --> 01:11:34,164
-Yes, sir.
-[line clicks]
1551
01:11:34,206 --> 01:11:37,918
-Sir, would you excuse me?
-Of course.
1552
01:11:40,254 --> 01:11:41,463
What do you need?
1553
01:11:41,505 --> 01:11:43,590
Permission to seek
an expanded search warrant.
1554
01:11:43,632 --> 01:11:46,719
You got it. How fast
can you review and assess
1555
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,178
-these extra e-mails?
-Several weeks.
1556
01:11:48,220 --> 01:11:49,722
[Comey]
The election's 12 days away.
1557
01:11:49,763 --> 01:11:51,890
-Can we bring in more bodies?
-[Priestap] We determined
1558
01:11:51,932 --> 01:11:53,017
that that would be ineffective.
1559
01:11:53,058 --> 01:11:53,934
Outsiders wouldn't know
1560
01:11:53,976 --> 01:11:55,102
-what to look for.
-And our chance
1561
01:11:55,144 --> 01:11:57,146
of resolving this by November 8?
1562
01:11:57,187 --> 01:11:58,981
Zero.
1563
01:11:59,023 --> 01:12:00,691
Okay.
1564
01:12:01,275 --> 01:12:02,526
Do it as quickly as you can.
1565
01:12:02,568 --> 01:12:06,697
Do it well, always well,
no matter how long it takes.
1566
01:12:07,614 --> 01:12:12,369
Now, does Congress
need to be advised of this?
1567
01:12:14,413 --> 01:12:18,625
We just told Congress in July
that this was all over.
1568
01:12:18,667 --> 01:12:20,669
That is now materially untrue.
1569
01:12:20,711 --> 01:12:24,798
We are reopening
our investigation.
1570
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:26,550
If we conceal that fact,
1571
01:12:26,592 --> 01:12:28,260
will it look like we sat
on information
1572
01:12:28,302 --> 01:12:31,722
to benefit one campaign
over another?
1573
01:12:35,309 --> 01:12:37,644
All right, I want all of you
to take a break for an hour.
1574
01:12:37,686 --> 01:12:39,104
Get out of this room,
get some air.
1575
01:12:39,146 --> 01:12:42,066
Then we'll reconvene
so I can hear your thinking.
1576
01:12:42,107 --> 01:12:43,609
[clears throat]
Sir,
1577
01:12:43,650 --> 01:12:45,402
the FBI has never commented
1578
01:12:45,444 --> 01:12:47,821
on the reopening
of an investigation.
1579
01:12:47,863 --> 01:12:50,532
It might very well be unfair
1580
01:12:50,574 --> 01:12:52,368
to Secretary Clinton
in terms of due process.
1581
01:12:52,409 --> 01:12:54,912
We wouldn't be
publicly commenting on it.
1582
01:12:54,953 --> 01:12:57,247
We'd be notifying Congress.
A letter to the chairs
1583
01:12:57,289 --> 01:12:58,665
of the eight
appropriate committees
1584
01:12:58,707 --> 01:13:01,085
-in the House and Senate.
-I understand, but--
1585
01:13:01,126 --> 01:13:03,170
But, uh,
this close to an election,
1586
01:13:03,212 --> 01:13:04,880
that will almost certainly leak,
1587
01:13:04,922 --> 01:13:06,423
so notifying Congress
1588
01:13:06,465 --> 01:13:08,967
is tantamount
to notifying the public.
1589
01:13:09,009 --> 01:13:11,720
So we should conceal it?
Lie by omission?
1590
01:13:11,762 --> 01:13:15,182
Well, what if we announce
and then don't find anything?
1591
01:13:15,224 --> 01:13:18,394
What if we don't announce
and then find criminal intent?
1592
01:13:18,435 --> 01:13:20,104
[Strzok]
Even if we did conceal it,
1593
01:13:20,145 --> 01:13:21,688
-NYO would leak it anyway.
-[Priestap] Mm-hmm.
1594
01:13:21,730 --> 01:13:23,440
We'd look sneaky
and ineffective.
1595
01:13:23,482 --> 01:13:25,776
-We don't know that.
-Of course they'd leak it.
1596
01:13:25,818 --> 01:13:26,985
That place is a sieve.
1597
01:13:27,027 --> 01:13:28,987
And they hate Secretary Clinton.
In five minutes,
1598
01:13:29,029 --> 01:13:31,407
Rudy Giuliani would be
screaming it on Fox News.
1599
01:13:31,448 --> 01:13:34,410
He's a former prosecutor
and a former U.S.A.
1600
01:13:34,451 --> 01:13:36,870
-So?
-So he knows better.
1601
01:13:36,912 --> 01:13:38,038
Well, that's hysterical.
1602
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,207
This whole campaign
is a job audition for him.
1603
01:13:40,249 --> 01:13:43,460
What was the saying at SDNY,
boss, about him back in the day?
1604
01:13:43,502 --> 01:13:46,213
"The most dangerous place
to stand in the world
1605
01:13:46,255 --> 01:13:48,549
is between Rudy Giuliani
and a microphone."
1606
01:13:48,590 --> 01:13:50,426
[Strzok]
Right.
1607
01:13:50,467 --> 01:13:52,553
One hour.
1608
01:13:55,055 --> 01:13:57,224
slow, dramatic music
1609
01:13:57,266 --> 01:13:59,601
1610
01:14:05,399 --> 01:14:07,734
[door closes]
1611
01:14:09,570 --> 01:14:11,822
Thoughts?
1612
01:14:14,324 --> 01:14:16,493
My fear
is how partisan we'll look
1613
01:14:16,535 --> 01:14:19,037
if word gets out
and we've said nothing.
1614
01:14:19,079 --> 01:14:20,873
Saying something would be worse.
1615
01:14:20,914 --> 01:14:22,499
And we don't know,
categorically,
1616
01:14:22,541 --> 01:14:24,877
-that NYO will leak it.
-Weiner's lawyers could leak it.
1617
01:14:24,918 --> 01:14:26,795
DOJ could leak it.
It's not close-hold.
1618
01:14:26,837 --> 01:14:29,381
[Comey] That's my fear, too.
We don't announce,
1619
01:14:29,423 --> 01:14:31,758
and three days
before the election, word leaks.
1620
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,969
"The FBI has reopened
the investigation
1621
01:14:34,011 --> 01:14:37,681
on Hillary Clinton,
not told anyone about it."
1622
01:14:37,723 --> 01:14:39,683
Where does that put
the credibility
1623
01:14:39,725 --> 01:14:41,101
of this institution?
1624
01:14:41,143 --> 01:14:42,853
Another scenario.
1625
01:14:42,895 --> 01:14:44,771
Hillary's just been elected.
1626
01:14:44,813 --> 01:14:47,733
A Republican-controlled House
is drafting bills of impeachment
1627
01:14:47,774 --> 01:14:49,443
before she's even sworn in.
1628
01:14:49,485 --> 01:14:52,529
Now imagine we find
something incriminating.
1629
01:14:52,571 --> 01:14:55,991
We present those findings
to House Judiciary.
1630
01:14:56,033 --> 01:14:59,203
They ask us when we first found
these e-mails,
1631
01:14:59,244 --> 01:15:01,914
and we'll be obliged to say
that we learned of them
1632
01:15:01,955 --> 01:15:04,249
a month before the election.
1633
01:15:04,291 --> 01:15:06,001
And the world will conclude
1634
01:15:06,043 --> 01:15:08,921
that we actively concealed this
from the American public
1635
01:15:08,962 --> 01:15:10,714
in order to tip the election.
1636
01:15:10,756 --> 01:15:13,675
Where does that leave
the credibility
1637
01:15:13,717 --> 01:15:14,843
of this institution?
1638
01:15:14,885 --> 01:15:17,804
Any letter that you put out
at this juncture
1639
01:15:17,846 --> 01:15:20,557
is going to be interpreted
by the public
1640
01:15:20,599 --> 01:15:24,186
to mean that we've found
new evidence of wrongdoing.
1641
01:15:24,228 --> 01:15:26,355
If I don't inform Congress
on this,
1642
01:15:26,396 --> 01:15:28,607
I should be fired.
Run out of town.
1643
01:15:28,649 --> 01:15:31,902
But, boss,
what if our doing this
1644
01:15:31,944 --> 01:15:36,532
results in the election
of Donald Trump as president?
1645
01:15:41,870 --> 01:15:45,541
That's a great question.
Thank you for asking it.
1646
01:15:49,336 --> 01:15:52,798
Down that road lies the death
of the FBI
1647
01:15:52,839 --> 01:15:55,926
as an independent force
in American life.
1648
01:15:57,261 --> 01:15:59,888
If I ever start considering
whose political fortunes
1649
01:15:59,930 --> 01:16:04,101
might be affected by a decision
even for a second,
1650
01:16:04,142 --> 01:16:06,395
we're done.
1651
01:16:07,896 --> 01:16:10,065
You still disagree?
1652
01:16:11,024 --> 01:16:14,152
I know you believe
in telling the truth.
1653
01:16:14,194 --> 01:16:15,654
I do, too.
1654
01:16:15,696 --> 01:16:19,616
But there are all kinds
of truths out there.
1655
01:16:19,658 --> 01:16:22,661
We're also, for example,
1656
01:16:22,703 --> 01:16:24,246
investigating the possibility
1657
01:16:24,288 --> 01:16:27,708
that Trump's campaign
is in bed with Russia.
1658
01:16:27,749 --> 01:16:28,834
But that's intel.
1659
01:16:28,875 --> 01:16:30,002
But it's a truth.
1660
01:16:30,043 --> 01:16:34,089
And concealing one truth
and publicly announcing another
1661
01:16:34,131 --> 01:16:36,300
is selective honesty.
1662
01:16:36,341 --> 01:16:37,593
Isn't it?
1663
01:16:37,634 --> 01:16:39,928
Trisha, I told Congress
and the country
1664
01:16:39,970 --> 01:16:41,722
that this case was closed.
1665
01:16:41,763 --> 01:16:44,683
If that's revealed to be a lie,
1666
01:16:44,725 --> 01:16:48,729
how would they
ever believe us again?
1667
01:16:50,897 --> 01:16:53,150
[cooing softly]
1668
01:16:55,986 --> 01:16:58,780
-[door opens]
-[Strzok] Hey, boss?
1669
01:17:01,617 --> 01:17:03,368
[Giuliani]
A-And then, I think he's got
1670
01:17:03,410 --> 01:17:05,245
a surprise or two that you're gonna hear about
1671
01:17:05,287 --> 01:17:06,663
-in the next two days. -Right. Rudy--
1672
01:17:06,705 --> 01:17:08,707
I-I mean, I mean, I'm talking about
1673
01:17:08,749 --> 01:17:11,251
some pretty big surprise.
1674
01:17:11,293 --> 01:17:12,544
-[laughs]
-Stay tuned.
1675
01:17:12,586 --> 01:17:14,296
[turns off TV]
1676
01:17:15,213 --> 01:17:17,090
-He's gonna leak it.
-If he hasn't already.
1677
01:17:17,132 --> 01:17:18,675
-That's likely true.
-[scoffs]
1678
01:17:18,717 --> 01:17:21,345
A second ago you were
telling him not to do this.
1679
01:17:21,386 --> 01:17:22,554
I'm trying to find some door
1680
01:17:22,596 --> 01:17:24,014
other than the one
that leads to hell.
1681
01:17:24,056 --> 01:17:27,476
[Comey] As I see it,
we only have two options here:
1682
01:17:27,517 --> 01:17:30,395
speak or conceal.
1683
01:17:30,437 --> 01:17:34,399
One is really bad,
the other catastrophic.
1684
01:17:34,441 --> 01:17:37,027
That's right.
1685
01:17:37,694 --> 01:17:40,364
Welcome to really bad.
1686
01:17:40,405 --> 01:17:43,200
Is this a conversation
or a decision he's already made?
1687
01:17:43,241 --> 01:17:45,494
The official line
is "The director believes
1688
01:17:45,535 --> 01:17:46,787
he has a duty to inform
1689
01:17:46,828 --> 01:17:48,622
the appropriate
congressional committees."
1690
01:17:48,664 --> 01:17:53,251
That's not quite "I alone
can fix it," but it's close.
1691
01:17:53,293 --> 01:17:55,796
And to me, that means
he's going to do it.
1692
01:17:55,837 --> 01:17:57,839
Unless you order him not to.
1693
01:17:57,881 --> 01:18:02,094
And then he does it anyway,
and we have to fire him.
1694
01:18:02,135 --> 01:18:05,472
Or he resigns
and people find out why.
1695
01:18:05,514 --> 01:18:08,642
Or the contents of the letter
are leaked and we've exposed
1696
01:18:08,684 --> 01:18:11,645
ourselves to an obstruction
of Congress investigation
1697
01:18:11,687 --> 01:18:13,146
for preventing him
from correcting
1698
01:18:13,188 --> 01:18:14,981
-a misimpression.
-But you're his boss.
1699
01:18:15,023 --> 01:18:17,526
You can order him to stand down
and deal with the consequences
1700
01:18:17,567 --> 01:18:20,028
if and when they come.
1701
01:18:20,070 --> 01:18:22,072
Loretta,
he's taking a beat here.
1702
01:18:22,114 --> 01:18:24,825
To me, that means he's giving us
the option to step in
1703
01:18:24,866 --> 01:18:26,618
and make the decision for him.
1704
01:18:26,660 --> 01:18:30,455
Mm-mm. We cannot be perceived
to be leaning on him.
1705
01:18:30,497 --> 01:18:33,208
The best way to convince him
not to do it is to convince
1706
01:18:33,250 --> 01:18:35,961
the people close to him
to stop him from doing it.
1707
01:18:36,002 --> 01:18:36,920
You agree?
1708
01:18:36,962 --> 01:18:40,090
I think norms
and policies matter.
1709
01:18:40,132 --> 01:18:41,800
And I think
Director Comey believes
1710
01:18:41,842 --> 01:18:44,177
that his own ethics
are now worth more
1711
01:18:44,219 --> 01:18:47,931
than the norms
that have always steered us.
1712
01:18:47,973 --> 01:18:50,726
You want to bring him in?
1713
01:19:02,946 --> 01:19:07,576
Tell Director Comey
we think this is a bad idea...
1714
01:19:07,617 --> 01:19:09,453
-Yes.
-...but we do not wish
1715
01:19:09,494 --> 01:19:12,080
to discuss it with him.
1716
01:19:14,833 --> 01:19:16,710
[knocks on door]
1717
01:19:16,752 --> 01:19:19,337
[Comey]
Hey.
1718
01:19:19,379 --> 01:19:22,883
-Hey, Dad.
-Got a minute?
1719
01:19:22,924 --> 01:19:25,260
Yeah, definitely.
1720
01:19:29,556 --> 01:19:31,767
Abs...
1721
01:19:33,977 --> 01:19:36,354
...your father's about
to get punched in the face
1722
01:19:36,396 --> 01:19:38,690
in public again.
1723
01:19:38,732 --> 01:19:40,609
Thought I should warn you.
1724
01:19:40,650 --> 01:19:45,655
It's not something I'm looking
forward to, but I'll be fine.
1725
01:19:45,697 --> 01:19:47,157
Another press conference?
1726
01:19:47,199 --> 01:19:51,453
No, but the effect
will be the same.
1727
01:19:51,495 --> 01:19:54,372
Worse.
1728
01:19:54,414 --> 01:19:57,751
Are you doing the right thing?
1729
01:19:57,793 --> 01:20:01,797
I think so. Pretty sure.
1730
01:20:03,548 --> 01:20:06,092
Then that's it.
1731
01:20:06,134 --> 01:20:09,304
-I love you, Dad.
-[laughs softly]
1732
01:20:09,346 --> 01:20:11,306
I love you, too, babe.
1733
01:20:11,348 --> 01:20:13,975
Oh, I'm proud of you.
1734
01:20:15,811 --> 01:20:17,979
Thanks.
1735
01:20:23,068 --> 01:20:25,695
[Patrice]
It's too close to the election.
1736
01:20:25,737 --> 01:20:28,323
It's much too close.
1737
01:20:29,741 --> 01:20:32,244
-Do you want him to win?
-I can't talk about this
1738
01:20:32,285 --> 01:20:34,037
-with you anymore, Treecy.
-Jim. Jimmy.
1739
01:20:34,079 --> 01:20:36,164
-I can't.
-What are you doing?
1740
01:20:36,206 --> 01:20:38,542
Now, I would never ask you
to prosecute someone
1741
01:20:38,583 --> 01:20:41,837
or not prosecute someone
in my life.
1742
01:20:41,878 --> 01:20:43,380
I wouldn't do that.
1743
01:20:43,421 --> 01:20:44,965
But you have four daughters.
1744
01:20:45,006 --> 01:20:47,217
Now think about
what it would mean for them
1745
01:20:47,259 --> 01:20:49,469
to see a woman become president.
1746
01:20:49,511 --> 01:20:52,597
Now think about
what it would mean for them
1747
01:20:52,639 --> 01:20:57,269
to see her lose... to him.
1748
01:20:57,310 --> 01:20:59,020
And you would have
to live with that.
1749
01:20:59,062 --> 01:21:02,399
And they would have
to live with that, forever.
1750
01:21:02,440 --> 01:21:04,192
Please don't make it seem
like my choices
1751
01:21:04,234 --> 01:21:06,987
are between loving my daughters
or doing my job.
1752
01:21:07,028 --> 01:21:09,239
This is not your job.
1753
01:21:09,281 --> 01:21:12,450
Swinging elections
is not your job.
1754
01:21:12,492 --> 01:21:14,786
-But protecting the Bureau is.
-No.
1755
01:21:14,828 --> 01:21:17,789
You went there
to put bad guys away.
1756
01:21:17,831 --> 01:21:21,877
The Ramsey Rapists of the world.
1757
01:21:21,918 --> 01:21:24,087
Not to help them
become president.
1758
01:21:24,129 --> 01:21:25,672
You have no idea
what I'm dealing with.
1759
01:21:25,714 --> 01:21:27,924
-Then tell me.
-I can't.
1760
01:21:27,966 --> 01:21:33,054
You are going to convince
everyone that she is Crooked...
1761
01:21:38,351 --> 01:21:40,437
...Crooked Hillary.
1762
01:21:41,813 --> 01:21:44,816
And then what?
1763
01:21:44,858 --> 01:21:46,860
I'm begging you...
1764
01:21:47,777 --> 01:21:51,781
...for once in your life,
don't do your duty.
1765
01:21:51,823 --> 01:21:55,160
Just let it go. Please?
1766
01:21:55,201 --> 01:21:57,954
slow, somber music
1767
01:21:57,996 --> 01:21:59,873
Honey, I can stand
the whole world
1768
01:21:59,915 --> 01:22:02,792
being mad at me, I really can.
1769
01:22:02,834 --> 01:22:04,544
But not you.
1770
01:22:05,211 --> 01:22:08,423
Then listen to me.
1771
01:22:10,592 --> 01:22:13,261
Jimmy.
1772
01:22:14,137 --> 01:22:15,472
Dad.
1773
01:22:27,859 --> 01:22:29,361
suspenseful music
1774
01:22:29,402 --> 01:22:31,738
[phone chimes]
1775
01:22:54,094 --> 01:22:55,595
[door opens]
1776
01:22:57,555 --> 01:22:58,890
[Comey]
Morning, Rod.
1777
01:22:58,932 --> 01:23:01,101
Can't tell you what an honor
this is, Jim.
1778
01:23:01,142 --> 01:23:02,644
The whole office is so excited.
1779
01:23:02,686 --> 01:23:05,480
-Flattered to be asked.
-Right this way.
1780
01:23:08,191 --> 01:23:09,109
By now,
1781
01:23:09,150 --> 01:23:11,903
you all know Jim Comey's résumé.
1782
01:23:11,945 --> 01:23:14,572
Former U.S. attorney in SDNY.
1783
01:23:14,614 --> 01:23:16,574
Former deputy attorney general.
1784
01:23:16,616 --> 01:23:19,619
Currently director of the FBI.
1785
01:23:19,661 --> 01:23:23,081
He is a man of utter integrity
and patriotism.
1786
01:23:23,123 --> 01:23:25,750
He's also the reason
I am a U.S. attorney.
1787
01:23:25,792 --> 01:23:28,211
Jim selected me
for the post 12 years ago,
1788
01:23:28,253 --> 01:23:32,340
which I guess means
he owes all of you an apology.
1789
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,555
I wanted him
to speak with you today
1790
01:23:38,596 --> 01:23:40,974
about an obsession of his:
1791
01:23:41,016 --> 01:23:42,142
leadership,
1792
01:23:42,183 --> 01:23:43,935
especially as seen
through the lens
1793
01:23:43,977 --> 01:23:46,271
of the firestorm
he experienced this summer
1794
01:23:46,312 --> 01:23:48,148
during
the Bureau's investigation
1795
01:23:48,189 --> 01:23:50,066
of Secretary Clinton.
1796
01:23:50,108 --> 01:23:53,236
Please welcome
my friend and colleague,
1797
01:23:53,278 --> 01:23:54,446
Jim Comey.
1798
01:23:54,487 --> 01:23:55,822
Thank you, Rod.
1799
01:23:59,743 --> 01:24:00,452
Thanks, Rod.
1800
01:24:00,493 --> 01:24:01,911
I'll try to live up to that.
1801
01:24:01,953 --> 01:24:03,955
Um, first,
1802
01:24:03,997 --> 01:24:07,083
I want to thank each of you.
1803
01:24:07,125 --> 01:24:09,127
You came here to do good.
1804
01:24:09,169 --> 01:24:12,839
You've all made sacrifices
to keep that promise.
1805
01:24:12,881 --> 01:24:16,551
You stay up late working on
a summation to explain why a...
1806
01:24:16,593 --> 01:24:18,887
drug dealer
or child pornographer is guilty.
1807
01:24:18,928 --> 01:24:23,016
You chase materials
to organize court exhibits
1808
01:24:23,058 --> 01:24:26,728
that some yo-yo
from the Bureau mislabeled.
1809
01:24:26,770 --> 01:24:27,771
[scattered laughter]
1810
01:24:27,812 --> 01:24:29,939
And you shrug pleasantly
when people speak
1811
01:24:29,981 --> 01:24:33,568
of the "awesome resources
of the federal government,"
1812
01:24:33,610 --> 01:24:36,071
as you eye the fancy supplies
at a law firm
1813
01:24:36,112 --> 01:24:37,655
and think
about swiping some stuff
1814
01:24:37,697 --> 01:24:39,157
to take back to your office.
1815
01:24:39,199 --> 01:24:40,366
[laughter]
1816
01:24:40,408 --> 01:24:43,953
Despite obstacles,
you do the work.
1817
01:24:43,995 --> 01:24:46,164
You protect people.
1818
01:24:46,206 --> 01:24:47,916
That's noble.
1819
01:24:49,334 --> 01:24:50,543
What makes that work possible
1820
01:24:50,585 --> 01:24:53,463
is a reservoir
of trust and credibility,
1821
01:24:53,505 --> 01:24:55,840
a reservoir
that was built for us
1822
01:24:55,882 --> 01:24:59,010
and filled for us by those
who went before us in this work,
1823
01:24:59,052 --> 01:25:00,637
many of whom we never knew.
1824
01:25:00,678 --> 01:25:03,890
Our obligation is
to protect that reservoir,
1825
01:25:03,932 --> 01:25:05,934
to keep it full
or make it fuller,
1826
01:25:05,975 --> 01:25:09,896
for those who will follow us
into public service.
1827
01:25:09,938 --> 01:25:14,150
The problem with reservoirs is
that it's hard to fill them
1828
01:25:14,192 --> 01:25:17,403
and one tiny hole
can drain them.
1829
01:25:17,445 --> 01:25:20,657
And that's what happens
if our vigilance fails,
1830
01:25:20,698 --> 01:25:22,283
if, even for a second,
1831
01:25:22,325 --> 01:25:24,119
we ever put anything--
1832
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,038
politics, partisanship--
1833
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:31,584
above the primacy
of truth and justice.
1834
01:25:33,753 --> 01:25:35,630
I love the Bureau.
1835
01:25:35,672 --> 01:25:38,007
I love its mission.
1836
01:25:38,049 --> 01:25:40,802
That guides me every day,
1837
01:25:40,844 --> 01:25:44,180
in everything I do.
1838
01:25:44,222 --> 01:25:48,101
And if it leads me
to make mistakes, well...
1839
01:25:48,143 --> 01:25:50,603
[chuckles softly]
1840
01:25:50,645 --> 01:25:52,147
I know they'll be honest ones.
1841
01:25:52,188 --> 01:25:53,481
[DeMarco Morgan]
The presidential election
1842
01:25:53,523 --> 01:25:54,232
was rocked Friday
1843
01:25:54,274 --> 01:25:56,943
by news
that FBI Director James Comey
1844
01:25:56,985 --> 01:25:58,903
had sent a letter
to congressional leaders
1845
01:25:58,945 --> 01:26:01,614
announcing that he was reopening the investigation
1846
01:26:01,656 --> 01:26:03,908
into Hillary Clinton's use of a private
1847
01:26:03,950 --> 01:26:06,119
e-mail server while Secretary of State,
1848
01:26:06,161 --> 01:26:08,246
following the discovery of new e-mails.
1849
01:26:08,288 --> 01:26:10,707
[reporter] Democrats are blasting the FBI director,
1850
01:26:10,748 --> 01:26:12,959
saying he's essentially throwing Donald Trump
1851
01:26:13,001 --> 01:26:16,796
a softball with just days to go before the campaign ends.
1852
01:26:16,838 --> 01:26:19,257
The Clinton campaign and Democratic lawmakers say
1853
01:26:19,299 --> 01:26:20,258
the move was political.
1854
01:26:20,300 --> 01:26:22,343
They're calling for more transparency.
1855
01:26:22,385 --> 01:26:24,053
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta
1856
01:26:24,095 --> 01:26:26,681
held a heated conference call with reporters Saturday.
1857
01:26:26,723 --> 01:26:29,267
Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat and the vice chairperson
1858
01:26:29,309 --> 01:26:31,394
of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
1859
01:26:31,436 --> 01:26:33,146
said she was shocked to read Comey's letter.
1860
01:26:33,188 --> 01:26:35,857
[Clinton] He doesn't know whether the e-mails referenced
1861
01:26:35,899 --> 01:26:39,027
in his letter are significant or not.
1862
01:26:39,068 --> 01:26:41,321
I'm confident,
whatever they are,
1863
01:26:41,362 --> 01:26:44,657
will not change
the conclusion reached in July.
1864
01:26:44,699 --> 01:26:49,204
Therefore, it's imperative that the Bureau explain
1865
01:26:49,245 --> 01:26:52,248
this issue in question, whatever it is,
1866
01:26:52,290 --> 01:26:54,167
without any delay.
1867
01:26:54,209 --> 01:26:55,919
[reporter 2] According to officials, Director Comey
1868
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:57,879
does not plan on providing any public updates
1869
01:26:57,921 --> 01:27:01,716
about the investigation until it is done.
1870
01:27:01,758 --> 01:27:04,510
That means no piecemeal updates on how many e-mails
1871
01:27:04,552 --> 01:27:06,512
were discovered that related to the investigation
1872
01:27:06,554 --> 01:27:09,974
or anything else specific until a conclusion has been reached.
1873
01:27:10,016 --> 01:27:12,852
So that means we will likely not hear about it
1874
01:27:12,894 --> 01:27:16,940
from Director Comey until after the election.
1875
01:27:16,981 --> 01:27:19,567
somber, suspenseful music
1876
01:27:19,609 --> 01:27:21,945
1877
01:27:39,504 --> 01:27:41,422
[Strzok sighs]
1878
01:27:41,464 --> 01:27:43,299
[Strzok] We got through
all the e-mails, boss.
1879
01:27:43,341 --> 01:27:45,426
The wizards downstairs
built a program.
1880
01:27:45,468 --> 01:27:47,303
There's nothing here.
1881
01:27:47,345 --> 01:27:48,888
No new evidence of intent.
1882
01:27:48,930 --> 01:27:51,975
You're sure? This is not
just fatigue talking?
1883
01:27:52,016 --> 01:27:54,394
We double and triple-checked
each other's work,
1884
01:27:54,435 --> 01:27:56,396
and every e-mail.
1885
01:27:56,437 --> 01:27:57,730
Our conclusion is solid.
1886
01:27:57,772 --> 01:28:02,151
And our feeling
is that the Bureau is obligated
1887
01:28:02,193 --> 01:28:06,072
to write another letter
to Congress, advising them.
1888
01:28:06,114 --> 01:28:09,742
I want you all to go home
and get some sleep,
1889
01:28:09,784 --> 01:28:12,745
with my deepest thanks
for your hard work.
1890
01:28:12,787 --> 01:28:16,416
No one in America
appreciates it, but I do.
1891
01:28:16,457 --> 01:28:20,086
[Quijano] With about 48 hours to go before the polls
1892
01:28:20,128 --> 01:28:22,505
begin to close,
there's breaking news tonight
1893
01:28:22,547 --> 01:28:24,465
from FBI Director James Comey
1894
01:28:24,507 --> 01:28:26,301
on those recently discovered e-mails
1895
01:28:26,342 --> 01:28:28,886
connected to Hillary Clinton's private server.
1896
01:28:28,928 --> 01:28:32,181
Comey sent a letter to a congressional committee today
1897
01:28:32,223 --> 01:28:35,143
saying the FBI's review of the additional e-mails
1898
01:28:35,184 --> 01:28:37,437
has not changed the Bureau's decision
1899
01:28:37,478 --> 01:28:39,856
not to prosecute Secretary Clinton.
1900
01:28:39,897 --> 01:28:42,483
A Clinton aide says her reaction
to the Comey letter
1901
01:28:42,525 --> 01:28:46,362
was understated, and she hasn't
mentioned it here in Cleveland.
1902
01:28:46,404 --> 01:28:48,323
They believe the word
will get out
1903
01:28:48,364 --> 01:28:52,035
whether Clinton talks about it
or not in these closing days.
1904
01:28:52,076 --> 01:28:53,745
It's really,
it's not a huge part.
1905
01:28:53,786 --> 01:28:55,079
Mm, it's an important part.
1906
01:28:55,121 --> 01:28:56,331
-Eh...
-You get two songs.
1907
01:28:56,372 --> 01:28:57,874
-I think it's awesome.
-Two songs.
1908
01:28:57,915 --> 01:29:00,543
-Me, too.
-Okay, Dad.
1909
01:29:00,585 --> 01:29:02,337
[soft laughter]
1910
01:29:03,296 --> 01:29:05,798
Go Hillary.
1911
01:29:06,632 --> 01:29:09,052
[rock music playing faintly]
1912
01:29:38,373 --> 01:29:40,500
suspenseful music
1913
01:29:40,541 --> 01:29:42,877
1914
01:29:47,382 --> 01:29:49,717
[indistinct chatter]
1915
01:29:54,180 --> 01:29:55,598
[Patrice]
You got your I.D.?
1916
01:29:55,640 --> 01:29:57,433
Yes, I have my I.D., Mom.
1917
01:29:57,475 --> 01:29:59,894
slow, contemplative music
1918
01:29:59,936 --> 01:30:02,230
1919
01:30:02,271 --> 01:30:04,107
Go ahead.
1920
01:30:04,148 --> 01:30:05,858
I'm so proud of you.
1921
01:30:05,900 --> 01:30:07,902
-You gonna join us, Dad?
-Nah. Nah.
1922
01:30:07,944 --> 01:30:08,945
Well, you can, you know.
1923
01:30:08,986 --> 01:30:11,447
No, it's not something
an FBI director should do.
1924
01:30:11,489 --> 01:30:12,698
You're still a citizen.
1925
01:30:12,740 --> 01:30:16,411
The point was
to see you cast a vote. Go.
1926
01:30:18,746 --> 01:30:21,541
-You okay?
-Yeah.
1927
01:30:23,418 --> 01:30:24,961
Treecy.
1928
01:30:27,505 --> 01:30:29,590
I wanted to stop the bad guys.
1929
01:30:30,466 --> 01:30:33,094
Brilliantly done, brother.
1930
01:30:35,555 --> 01:30:37,557
Go.
1931
01:30:48,192 --> 01:30:49,569
[Dana Bash] Now, Wolf, I have-- Wolf, I have
1932
01:30:49,610 --> 01:30:51,529
a little bit of information, but I just want to be sure
1933
01:30:51,571 --> 01:30:53,781
-that I have it right...
-Mom?
1934
01:30:53,823 --> 01:30:55,324
[Wolf Blitzer]
All right, go ahead, John.
1935
01:30:55,366 --> 01:30:56,868
[John King] To just go through this, as you go
1936
01:30:56,909 --> 01:30:58,453
through these, again, you go through the outstanding states.
1937
01:30:58,494 --> 01:31:01,038
Wisconsin, you see the lead, you're looking for the--
1938
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:02,832
to try to find the Democratic votes
1939
01:31:02,874 --> 01:31:04,041
and the math's just not there.
1940
01:31:04,083 --> 01:31:06,169
Uh, and that, you know, again, if it was one state,
1941
01:31:06,210 --> 01:31:07,336
you'd say, "Okay, they're gonna be
1942
01:31:07,378 --> 01:31:09,005
extra careful about one last state."
1943
01:31:09,046 --> 01:31:10,798
You go back to Michigan, it's very hard for the math,
1944
01:31:10,840 --> 01:31:12,508
and I just want to pop this up, Wolf.
1945
01:31:12,550 --> 01:31:13,801
It is not inconceivable
1946
01:31:13,843 --> 01:31:15,970
that Donald Trump catches up in Minnesota.
1947
01:31:16,012 --> 01:31:17,805
Uh, you know, Minnesota, the one state
1948
01:31:17,847 --> 01:31:20,141
Walter Mondale won, uh, in the Reagan sweep.
1949
01:31:20,183 --> 01:31:22,393
Uh, now, it's-- you know, the math is hard still...
1950
01:31:22,435 --> 01:31:24,770
-[Blitzer] All right, stand by. -...but this is a sweep.
1951
01:31:24,812 --> 01:31:26,314
[Blitzer]
Dana, you were, you wanted
1952
01:31:26,355 --> 01:31:27,857
to be precise, so go ahead.
1953
01:31:27,899 --> 01:31:31,444
[Bash] That's right. Uh, CNN can report that Hillary Clinton
1954
01:31:31,486 --> 01:31:35,281
has called Donald Trump
to concede the race.
1955
01:31:35,323 --> 01:31:38,201
She has called Donald Trump
to say that
1956
01:31:38,242 --> 01:31:39,368
she will not be president.
1957
01:31:39,410 --> 01:31:41,621
dramatic, haunting music
1958
01:31:41,662 --> 01:31:44,790
1959
01:31:48,503 --> 01:31:50,171
Boss.
1960
01:31:51,464 --> 01:31:54,842
The networks have all
called it for Trump.
1961
01:31:59,931 --> 01:32:02,183
Thank you, Bill.
1962
01:32:22,328 --> 01:32:25,039
1963
01:32:53,192 --> 01:32:55,361
dramatic, soaring music
1964
01:33:56,756 --> 01:33:59,091
