02:40:27


THANK YOU, MR. CHAIR. THANK YOU, MR. STRZOK. MR. STRZOK, ON JULY 3rd, YOURLAWYER, MR. GOLDMAN, MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT TO CHRIS CUOMO ON CNN REGARDING YOU, HIS CLIENT. ON FOX NEWS, THEY TALK ABOUT HIM AS A CENTER OF THIS ANTI-TRUMP KABUL THAT WAS DETERMINED TO THROW THE ELECTION AGAINST TRUMP. NONE OF THIS HAS A SHRED OF TRUTH. DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT, SIR?

02:40:49


I DO.
02:40:50


JUNE 19th OP-ED IN USA TODAY, YOUR LAWYER SAID REGARDING THE RUSSIA INVESTIGATION, WHAT WE CALL THE RUSSIA COLLUSION INVESTIGATION, THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM QUOTE/UNQUOTE WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO PREVENT LEAKS AND ACTIVELY INSURED THAT NEWS REPORTS DID NOT OVERPLAY THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE INVESTIGATION. IS THAT TRUE, SIR?

02:41:12


YES.
02:41:13


NOW, TELL US WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO PREVENT LEAKS FROM THE FBI TO JOURNALISTS OR TO OTHERS.
02:41:20


02:41:20


LEAKS ARE TERRIBLE. THEY UNDERCUT THINGS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. THEY CAN UPEND INVESTIGATIONS. THEY CAN LEAD TO INCORRECT ASSUMPTIONS. THEY CAN LET WITNESSES KNOW THEY'REIR BEING INVESTIGATED. THEY CAN LEAD TO THE DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE, ANY NUMBER OF BAD THINGS. ANY NUMBER OF REALLY BAD ADVERSE THINGS.

02:41:42


GOT IT. THE DOJ IG'S REPORT HAD THIS TO SAY ABOUT YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE DECISION TO INFORM CONGRESS ABOUT THE WIENER LAPTOP. QUOTE/UNQUOTE, STRZOK EXPLAINS THAT THE DECISION TO SEEK A SEARCH WARRANT FOR THE WIENER LAPTOP WAS KNOWN TO MANY PEOPLE BEYOND THE MIDYEAR TEAM, AND THIS RAISED A CONCERN THAT DISINFORMATION COULD LEAK. IS THIS STATEMENT FROM THE IG'S REPORT TRUE?

02:42:08


YES.
02:42:08


NOW, COULD YOU UNPACK THAT FOR US A LITTLE BIT? FIRST OF ALL, YOU SAID ACCORDING TO THE IG'S REPORT THAT THE SEARCH WARRANT FOR THE WIENER LAPTOP WAS KNOWN TO MANY PEOPLE BEYOND THE MIDYEAR TEAM. COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHETHER ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE WOULD BE IN THE NEW YORK FIELD OFFICE?

02:42:29


SO THE -- MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT THE INVESTIGATION OF THE CRIMES IN THE CASE OF MR. WIENER WAS HANDLED OUT OF THE NEW YORK FIELD OFFICE OUT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, OR MAYBE THE EASTERN DISTRICT.

02:42:44


THE PEOPLE YOU'RE REFERRING INCLUDED PEOPLE IN THE NEW YORK FIELD OFFICE, CORRECT?
02:42:48


THAT'S CORRECT.
02:42:48


YOU HAD CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR ACTIONS IF DIRECTOR COMEY DID NOT INFORM CONGRESS ABOUT THIS WIENER LAPTOP.

02:42:57


I DID NOT HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT NEW YORK. MY CONCERNS WERE JUST GENERAL. THAT THE MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE AWARE OF SOMETHING, THE GREATER CHANCE THAT IT LEAKS OUT SOMEHOW. BUT THOSE CONCERNS WERE NOT SPECIFIC IN MY MIND TO NEW YORK.

02:43:10


OKAY. LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THIS. IN A REPORT IN THAT SAME REPORT, ATTORNEY GENERAL LORETTA LYNCH RECALLS A CONVERSATION WITH THEN DIRECTOR COMEY IN THE FINAL DAYS OF THE 2016 ELECTION. QUOTE/UNQUOTE, HE, REFERRING TO COMEY, SAID IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT THERE'S A CADRE OF SENIOR PEOPLE IN NEW YORK WHO HAVE A DEEP AND VISCERAL HATRED OF SECRETARY CLINTON. HE SAID IT IS, QUOTE/UNQUOTE DEEP. WERE YOU AWARE OF THIS, OF THIS CONCERN?

02:43:39


I WAS AWARE OF THE CERTAINLY SOME OF THE PRESS REPORTING AND SOME PEOPLE EXPRESSING THAT CONCERN.
02:43:46


WAS ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE DIRECTOR COMEY?
02:43:50

A PERSON HAVING THAT CONCERN?
02:43:51


YES.
02:43:52


COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AND HOW THAT IN YOUR VIEW AFFECTED THE REVELATION OF THE WARRANT FOR WIENER'S LAPTOP?

02:44:05


YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK DIRECTOR COMEY THAT. I THINK THERE WAS DISCUSSION, I REMEMBER, AND PARTICULARLY SOME OF IT WAS IN THE CONTEXT OF REPORTING FROM MR. GIULIANI AND OTHERS TALKING ABOUT CONNECTIONS TO NEW YORK. BUT AGAIN, I DON'T WANT TO SCAPEGOAT NEW YORK BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE AWARE OF IT. AND THERE WERE CONCERNS ABOUT NUMBER OF FOLKS, BUT WITH REGARD TO MR. COMEY, MY RECOLLECTION IS THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THOSE CONCERNS BUT I WAS NOT PRIVY TO DISCUSSIONS HE HAD WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR OTHER CONCERNS HE MIGHT HAVE HAD OUTSIDE OF MY PRESENCE OR CONVERSATION.

02:44:37


NOW, WITH REGARD TO MR. GIULIANI, ON OCTOBER 25th, THEN TRUMP CAMPAIGN ADVISER RUDY GIULIANI PROMISED A QUOTE/UNQUOTE PRETTY BIG SURPRISE COMING UP IN THE CAMPAIGN. ON OCTOBER 28th, GIULIANI CLAIMED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH FORMER AGENTS AND A QUOTE/UNQUOTE ACTIVE AGENTS WHO OBVIOUSLY DON'T WANT TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. LET ME MAKE SURE I HAVE THIS RIGHT. THERE WAS A CONCERN THAT THERE WAS A DEEP AND VISCERAL HATRED TOWARD SECRETARY CLINTON IN THE NEW YORK FIELD OFFICE. AT THE SAME TIME, MR. GIULIANI SAID THAT HE'S HAVING CONTACTS WITH AGENTS. ACTIVE AGENTS. WHAT -- CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR TAKE ON THIS AND YOUR COMMENTS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE?

02:45:19


I RECALL THAT COMMENT. I RECALL IT CAUSED ME A LOT OF CONCERN.
02:45:25


AND WHY? WHY DID IT CAUSE YOU CONCERN?

02:45:27


BECAUSE, WHILE IT'S CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT MR. GIULIANI IS EXAGGERATING OR ENGAGING IN SOME SORT OF PUFFERY, THE REALITY IS THAT ALSO GIVEN THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON, GIVEN TIMING THAT THE LAPTOP WAS THERE AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT IN THE CONTEXT OF A BIG SURPRISE, IT CAUSED ME GREAT CONCERN THAT HE HAD INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. THAT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD.

02:45:51


THAT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD, THROUGH A LEAK?
02:45:54

THROUGH AN UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSER, SURE, A LEAK, YES.
02:45:57

THANK YOU, SIR. THE MEMBERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE VOTES ARE ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE. FOUR VOTES. MR. STRZOK, YOU PROBABLY HAVE A GOOD 45 MINUTES TO -- ALL RIGHT. MEMBERS ARE ADVISED THAT THIS WILL BE THE LAST ONE. IF YOU WANT TO HEAD TO THE FLOOR FOR VOTES, BUT THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES THE GENTLEMAN FROM KENTUCKY.
