Roger Stone is a former White House adviser to President Donald Trump and a regular contributor to CNN and other media outlets. In this episode, he talks about the recent declassification of documents relating to the Russian Collusion Proposals, and why he thinks the Justice Department should start over again.
00:00:58.140Well, President Donald Trump has declassified the crossfire hurricane documents.
00:01:04.740These are the documents that pertain to the Russian collusion hoax.
00:01:10.720Interestingly, he ordered the declassification of these documents at the very end of his first term.
00:01:18.420And the bureaucrats in the National Security Agency simply ignored him because they knew that he wouldn't be president in a few short days.
00:01:29.200Two journalists, John Solomon and Lou Dobbs, who had actually been legally given the declassified documents,
00:01:38.060found them quickly reclaimed by the U.S. government.
00:01:45.120If you want to know why the FBI raided President Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago the same way they raided my home at 6 o'clock in the morning.
00:01:57.140Well, in his case, it was to get those documents back because, you see, as president, he was entitled to keep a copy of them.
00:02:05.480The whole notion that he was illegally withholding documents that he had no right to was absurd because under the Presidential Records Act,
00:02:17.040his mere possession constituted declassification.
00:02:22.120And as president and a former president, he had the right to have any document he wishes.
00:02:28.040The entire prosecution of Donald Trump was about those documents.
00:02:32.400That's because they show that Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and National Security Advisor Susan Rice and FBI Director James Comey
00:02:49.680and CIA Director John Brennan and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and others were involved in the greatest single illicit, illegal, dirty trick in American political history.
00:03:07.840It was nothing less than the use of the full authority of the United States government and the extraordinary capability of our intelligence agencies utilizing two pieces of what they knew were bogus fabricated evidence,
00:03:30.180the so-called steel dossier and the claim that the Russians had hacked the Democrat National Committee on an online hack to try to illicitly undo a presidential election and remove a duly elected president.
