MICHAEL SMERCONISH, CNN HOST, "SMERCONISH": But commonsensically, I say, if it was someone in the Intel Community given access to the White House, it's not like they plunked a talk radio host off street. This has to be an individual who was vetted just to get their gig and seemingly will have credibility. Although in the complaint, acknowledges much of this is hearsay, relying on the reports of others. So I think there's a lot of testimony that needs to be taken before we really can look at evidence and know what it is. I know there's a rush. People want to weigh in and know immediately which way it cuts. I just think it's premature.</s>BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: Just to your point, though, Michael, about hearsay, because we always want to be careful about, did this person actually see the phone call? No, they didn't. But when you read what the whistleblower said about the phone call it matches the memo. Almost reads as if they did read the transcript.</s>SMERCONISH: To your point, when you look at the whistleblower complaint, I've not heard anyone thus far say, uh-huh. Take a look at what was stated in it, and's it's incorrect. I mean, I guess Mayor Giuliani would say well they accused me of circumvention and I was circumventing anything. But you're right. The whistleblower apparently didn't hear, see the transcript of that call. I just reread the paragraphs. They really are an uncanny match for what we did find in the transcript.</s>KEILAR: Yes. Michael, thank you so much. Michael Smerconish.</s>SMERCONISH: Thank you.</s>KEILAR: And be sure to watch "Smerconish" Saturday mornings at 9:00, on CNN. Speaker Pelosi says Attorney General Bill Barr has "gone rogue." New details about when the Justice Department first learned of the whistleblower's allegations.
