Former DOJ deputy director of public affairs Ian Prior reacts to Sally Yates' DNC appearance.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
From the moment, president,
from the moment President
Trump has took office, he has
used his position to benefit
himself rather than our country.
He has trampled the rule of law,
trying to weaponize our justice
Department to a tack, his enemies
and protect his friends,
Steve, that is former deputy
attorney General Sally Yates,
among several speakers, to blast
President Trump on night, two of
the Dnc.
With reaction. This morning we
have former deputy public
affairs director for the
justifiable department Ian
prior Ian Good morning to you
good Morning,
Steve of Course, Sally Yates,
famously fired by Donald Trump
after ten days, because she
refused to enforce his travel
ban. But you say its nice of the
Dnc to have a deep state,
personified speak at the Dnc.
You are talking about her
yeah, absolutely
first action of Sally Yates. Most
of them are familiar with where
she refused to do her job as
acting attorney general and
defend the presidents travel
ban, which was later upheld as
constitutional by the United
States Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, she is out there
talking about the president
weaponizing the Department of
Justice to investigate and
prosecute his enemy.
What planet is she living on?
She was part of the Obama Biden
administration that essentially
trumped up an investigation into
the Trump campaign cooked the
books got Flynn investigated.
They used the Department of
Justice as a develop to go after
the Trump campaign,
not the other way around
Steve right.
We did hear from her in the last
couple of months that apparently
at that oval office meeting with
Joe Biden and the President
Sally Yates, was there and she
was going to tell the President
Barack Obama about the fact that
apparently, during the transition
there were some phone calls
between Michael Flynn Neld, a the
Russians
and Obama turns to her around
sells. By the way, did you hear
the Russians and Flynn have been
talking on the phone and she is
like wait a minute.
She connects a lot of dots here,
yeah
one of the dot she failed is the
fact that Peter Strzok said it
was Joe Biden brought off the
Logan ACT.
If you remember couple weeks ago,
Sally Yates testimony it wasnt
Peter Strzok or Joe Biden. It was
James, Comey,
Everybodys, famous whipping boy.
You are looking possibly at the
next attorney general of the
United States. As someone who is
going along with the typical
Democrat talking point, and you
know hoping that people forget
what she did during her tenure
as acting attorney general.
Have you written a op ed for
the Washington Times?
The headline is Biden. Harris
administration would turn the
Department of Justice Newt
Department of Social
justifiable.
What do you mean?
Well look when we came in
to the Department of Justice in
February March, two thousand and seventeen there was
a lot of unraveling to do on the
Obama Department of Justice.
You are going to see a lot of
that come back in full force. If
Biden wins,
I would say even more
so remember during the Obama
administration, sure you have
black lives matter. You had all
these radical groupings that
were pressuring the justifiable
department, but you didnt quite
have it the level it is now
where you throw in four years of
the left going crazy over Trump.
You are going to see a lot of
policies that are going to
handcuff the police that
potentially are going to send
taxpayer money to liberal
activist groups as a result of
third party settlement,
and you know going soft on
inaudible going hard on police
department.
If that happens, you will see a
big uptick in crime in a Biden
Harris Administration
Steve, so they were going along
with the Obama Biden
Administration, doing just that
and then came Donald Trump, and
while Jeff sessions had to
recuse himself sessions and
bill, Barr have been trying to
undo a lot of what they did
right.
Yeah
thats, absolutely correct.
Look inaudible, first and
foremost position I bring up in
the op ed. What you would have is
the civil rights civil rights
under Sue police departments
force them to enter into onerous
consent. Decrees, tie the hands of
the department,
not committed a criminal crime,
civil rights in the Department
of Justice under Obama, with
pressure from outside leftist
groups that are going after
police departments.
What do you think is going to
happen now if Joe Biden wins the
election,
he is going to roll over these
folks,
you have the solid out there. Slo
policies, dismantle the
Department of Justice and turn
it into the Department of Social
Justice.
Steve. Would the past be
prologue.
