Tom Perez Dodges Twice When Asked Why He’s Refusing to Let the FBI Access the DNC’s Servers

‘We have cooperated from day one and we continue to cooperate’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:

CABRERA: "They are Russian military officials. And I want to ask you know specifically about what we’re learning in the indictment about how they did their hacking and the dissemination of the stolen documents and data. President Trump suggests that there was nefarious reason the DNC didn’t turnover its computer servers after the hacking because discovered. In January of 2017, the FBI said the DNC rebuffed its request. Have you since then given the FBI access?"
PEREZ: "Today’s tweet is rehashing old conspiracy theories. The fact of the matter is that we cooperated fully with the FBI. And when then Director Comey went to Congress, he himself said that what he should have done differently was I think his term was cast a flare up to the DNC even earlier about what was going on. The DNC cooperated throughout. And again, today’s tweet is another effort to distract from the matter at hand. And the matter at hand, Russians not only hacked the DNC, but the DCCC, they attempted to infiltrate secretaries of state and 3w0r boards of elects. They were successful this one state getting more than half a million individual names and personal information. And they did there so that they could attempt to swing our elections. That is an act of war. And if we had a Democrat in the White House right now, we would have a cabinet that is dealing with this."
CABRERA: "Has the DNC done everything in its power to make sure this doesn’t happen again and to get to the absolute bottom of what happened? Have you turned over the DNC servers?"
PEREZ: "We have cooperated from day one and we continue to cooperate. And again, all you need to do is read the testimony of then Director Comey when he was in front of Congress. This is again another red herring and we continue again through our hiring, through our cyber practices to do everything in our power to prevent it from happening again. But here is the deal. And one of your commentators said this before. When you can do it with immunity and Russia did, you will try to do it again. We filed a civil suit because it was clear to Mina we needed to do something to deter future misconduct. This president is not deterring future misconduct.something to deter future misconduct. This president is not deterring future misconduct. We filed the civil suit because we were the victim and I don’t want this to ever happen again. This was an assault not simply on the DNC, it was an assault on our democracy. And we’re fighting hard to win elections because this is good more than fighting for good jobs which we’re doing, fighting for health care which we’re doing, fighting for women’s reproductive health and fighting for democracy."
