Merrick Garland made a 'big mistake': McCarthy

YOU CAN GET FASTER TO LONDON BUT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE HER LUGGAGE ONCE YOU GET THERE APPARENTLY. DAGEN: THANK YOU SO MUCH. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP CONTINUES TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE FBI AFTER THE AGENCY RATED HIS MAR-A-LAGO HOME LAST WEEK. HE POSTED ON TRUTH SOCIAL SAY THEY TOOK FOX UNDER BOXES OF A PRIVILEGED ATTORNEY-CLIENT MATERIAL AND EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE MATERIAL AND I WANTED ALL BACK, JOINED TO BE NOT INJURE MCCARTHY FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTOR, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR GREAT TO SEE YOU THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE YOU SAY THIS RAID WENT TOO FAR TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT. >> THERE IS MULTIPLE LEVELS OF THIS AND I THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CLAIMS ABOUT PRIVILEGE PROBABLY BRING IT TO AHEAD AND NOT IN A WAY THAT I THINK THAT HE PROBABLY APPRECIATES THERE IS A BOTTOM CONTROVERSY THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR AN 18 MONTH SHOW WHERE THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES ONCE THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS THAT TRUMP TOOK TOMORROW I'LL GO BACK. WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE WHETHER IT WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO GO TO DEATH CAN'T FIVE AND USE CRIMINAL LAW MEASURES TO ENFORCE THE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS WHICH IS NOT CRIMINAL STATUTE BUT YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THOSE MATERIALS ARE THE PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES THE QUESTION HOW THEY SHOULD GET BACK TO THE GOVERNMENT'S POSSESSION AND WHETHER WAS APPROPRIATE TO DO IT THIS WAY THEN THERE IS THIS WHOLE THING ABOUT CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. WHAT THE GOVERNMENT OFFERS AS THE REASONS WHY THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY THAT THEY HAD TO DO IT NOW IN THE ISSUE TO WORRY THAT WAS NOT TARGETED AT CLASSIFIED INFORMATION AND AUTHORIZED AGENTS TO TAKE EVERY SHRED OF PAPER THAT WAS GENERATED DURING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WHICH MEANS NO MATTER WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FOR TRYING TO ENFORCE A PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS ACT AS IF IT WAS A CRIMINAL STATUTE. WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON HERE THEY ARE RACKING UP THE INVESTIGATION OF JANUARY 6 BECAUSE THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CASE ON TRUMP AND YOU CANNOT SEPARATE WHAT HAPPENED MAR-A-LAGO WITH ALL THE INVESTIGATIVE ACTIVITY THAT THEY HAVE GOING ON WITH RESPECT TO JANUARY 6. DAGEN: IS IT POSSIBLE FOR MERRICK GARLAND TO STEP UP AND SAY HERE'S WHAT WE HAVE? I'VE ACTUALLY TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS ON FRIDAY THAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW, I PHRASE IT LIKE THIS WHAT YOU'VE GOT, THIS MOVIE AND RAID IS UNPRECEDENTED IN THE OPINIONS IN TURNS ON ITS HEAD MORE THAN TWO CENTURIES OF NORMS IN THIS COUNTRY. WHAT YOU HAVE ON THE PRESIDENT, AS YOU TOLD ME THE EVIDENCE COLLECTED IN A SEARCH LIKE THIS OUT OF PUBLIC VIEW AND PRESENTED IN COURT, CORRECT COULD MERRICK GARLAND COME OUT -- GO AHEAD. >> AND THE UNDERLYING AFFIDAVIT, WHEN YOU SAY WHAT YOU GOT AND WHAT YOU'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT WHAT DID THEY TELL THE COURT THAT PERSUADED THE COURT TO GIVE THEM PERMISSION THE WARRANT TO GO WITH. IN THEORY I'M NOT SURE THEY TOLD THE COURT ANYTHING THEY SUSPECTED ANYTHING WITH THEIR WHOLE AGENDA IS. AT LEAST WITHIN AFFIDAVIT SHOULD BE AN EXPLANATION OF WHY THAT PROBABLE CAUSE AND WHY IT WAS IMPORTANT TO DO IT NOW IN THE AFFIDAVIT IS SOMETHING WE WOULD NEVER SEE UNLESS CHARGES ARE FILED IN THE CASE THAT WE TURNED OVER TO DEFENSE OF DISCOVERY. GIVEN UNPRECEDENTED NATURE, IF CONGRESS WAS IN SESSION IF THEY HAD ANY SUBPOENA POWER THERE WOULD BE AGGRESSIVE OVERSIGHT GOING ON WITH RESPECT TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT I THINK IT'S INTERESTING THEY DID THIS AS SOON AS CONGRESS LEFT TOWN. THERE IS NO WAY TO CONVENE A COMMITTEE HEARING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW THE ROLLOFF ON THE CONSTITUENT WORK IS THAT WHAT THEY DO WHEN THEY'RE OUT OF TOWN? WHAT YOU INSPECT CONGRESS WILL BE PURSUED ON THIS I WOULD HOLD MY BREATH WAITING FOR MERRICK GARLAND TO COME OUT AND SAY LET ME TELL YOU WHAT'S IN AFFIDAVIT IF YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT USUALLY DOES NOT SPEAK IT ALL HE DECIDED TO GO ON GIVE A STATEMENT. IF YOU HAVE TO RESPOND TO WHAT TRUMP IS SAYING. HE REALLY DIDN'T ADDRESS THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WHICH IS WHY YOU NEEDED TO DO THIS AND WHY NOW WHEN THIS IS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR 18 MONTHS. DAGEN: YOU SAID THIS IN A PIECE SHE WROTE LAST WEEK YOU HAVE TO ANSWER NOT JUST THE WIFE OF THE WHY NOW, THE TIMING OF IT THAT'S A MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION TO ANSWER. I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS COLLECTED WHAT YOU GOT, WHAT DID YOU FIND THAT THIS WAS SO URGENT WITH THE WHY NOW AND WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING IN TERMS OF YOU'VE GONE THROUGH AND I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO READ EVERYTHING THAT YOU WRITE. YOU ENTER IN THAT PIECE LAST WEEK ABOUT ALL OF THE MOVEMENT THAT YOU ARE SEEN ON THE JANUARE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WHETHER PAT CIPOLLONE AND HIS DEPUTY WERE SUBPOENAED BEFORE THE GRAND JURY, SCOTT. , THE CONGRESSMAN, HIS CELL PHONE WAS TAKEN A DAY AFTER MAR-A-LAGO GRADE IN WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT THAT WITH THE MOVEMENT BY THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ON THAT NOTE? THAT SEEMS TO BE THE POINT. >> AT THE CONTINUING SIX COMMITTEE IS PLENTY EXPLICIT THAT THEY THINK TRUMP COMMITTED A CRIME AND THERE'S A LOT OF AGITATION IN THE DEMOCRATIC BASE TO PROSECUTE HIM FOR THAT. I THINK WHAT THEY ARE TARGETING AND THIS IS WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS TALKING ABOUT IS WHETHER TRUMP CORRUPTLY, OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS IS A CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD THE GOVERNMENT. IN A NUTSHELL THE THEORY INCLUDES THAT TRUMP, THIS IS THE ALLEGATION I'M NOT SAYING THIS IS MY ACCUSATION TRUMP USED OR TRIED TO USE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE STATE GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE THE ELECTORAL VOTES FROM THE POPULAR ELECTION CHOICE OF BITE INTO A GOP LEGISLATIVE CHOICE FOR TRUMP. THAT IS A THEORY IN THIS FRUSTRATED CONGRESS ABILITY TO COUNT STATE CERTIFIED ELECTORAL VOTES, I THINK THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GOING AS FAR AS CONSPIRACY IS CONCERNED. THE BIG PLAYERS WOULD BE TRUMP, EASTMAN, PEARY AND THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT JEFFREY CLARK AND THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE WHERE THE ACTIVITY AROUND BEFORE AND AFTER MAR-A-LAGO SEARCH CENTERS ON. THEY ALSO SUBPOENAED TO THE GRAND JURY AIDS OF VICE PRESIDENT PENCE AND LAWYERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL'S OFFICE WHO ALL KNEW ABOUT ASPECTS OF WHAT THE LEGAL THEORY WAS BEHIND THIS AND WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS TRYING TO DO. I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO TURN THAT INTO A CRIME. YOU TALK ABOUT CRIMINALIZING AS A FLAWED LEGAL THEORY I DON'T THINK THAT THE ROAD WE WANT TO GO DOWN BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I THINK THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE HONED IN ON WHAT I WOULD LOOK FOR IS MORE INDICATION THAT THAT IS WHERE THEY ARE GOING IN THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION AND IT'S INCONCEIVABLE WHAT HAPPENED AT MAR-A-LAGO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT WHEN TRUMP IS A GUY THAT TRIED TO MAKE THE
