1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: A Clinton judge has I'm sure you've heard by now,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: has dismissed the federal indictments against James Comy and Latsia James,

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: it's a pair of hasty, snarky opinions by Judge Cameron

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: Curry once again that illustrate an out of control judiciary

5
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: increasingly seizing executive authority to sabotage the will of the people.

6
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: Describing the acting US attorney that was handling the cases,

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: Lindsay Halligan, as a quote former White House aide with

8
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: no prior prosecutorial experience, the judge dropped the criminal case

9
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: against James and Comy that was pending in the Eastern

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 1: District of Virginia. Quote. I agree with Miss James that

11
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: the Attorney General's attempt to install Miss Halligan as interim

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was invalid.

13
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Was writing, and because Miss Halligan had no lawful authority

14
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: to present the indictment, I will grant Miss James's motion

15
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: and dismissed the indictment without prejudice. Now, the judge wrote

16
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: essentially the same passage in her order that dismissed the

17
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: charges against James Comy, Now, for those of you not

18
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: steeped in the law, me when the indictment is dismissed

19
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: without prejudice, it means that the indictment can be filed again.

20
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: So it does not mean as many people like to

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: old claim that James Comy and Letitia James have been

22
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: acquitted or found not guilty, or that the charges didn't

23
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: have any you know, the charges were invalid, or that

24
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: they didn't do anything wrong. This these two cases were

25
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: dismissed solely on procedural grounds, and quite frank I don't

26
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: think this is a major setback. Let's go to Laura

27
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Ingram last night talking to David shown well for their

28
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: unlawful conduct.

29
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: Is Guss David shown former Trump impeachment lawyer David Some

30
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: of the procedural stuff here is in question.

31
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: But you say this was avoidable.

32
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: How so it was avoidable because quite frankly, the Justice

33
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: Department should have just put somebody in the room with

34
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: Lindsay Halligan and would have taken away all of the

35
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 2: arguments for dismissal. Quite frankly, based on all the decisions

36
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: around the country, I still don't think the decision.

37
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Is right, but it was avoidable. In that sense.

38
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: I give Lindsay Halligan great credit, and she showed great

39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: courage here. She looked at the facts and the evidence,

40
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: she saw that there was a wrong committed, and she

41
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: got an indictment. She was put in this position and

42
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: she should.

43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: Have had I shouldn't let that gloss over. She got

44
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: an indictment, meaning the grand jury are the ones that

45
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: made the decision to indict. They simply presented the evidence.

46
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: So you've got to give Lindsay Holligan, and I agree

47
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: if you have no prosecutorial experience, which we can argue about,

48
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: if you have no prosecutorial experience, going to a grand

49
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: jury and getting an indictment is actually a pretty darn

50
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: amazing thing to have done, and more support than she

51
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: was given.

52
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: But it's not a major setback for the Trump administration

53
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: or anything like that.

54
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: It was all now. You'd expect him to say this,

55
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: right because he was the Trump impeachment lawyer, so you'd

56
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: expect David shan to say it. But I'll give you

57
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: some reasons why to believe him in just a minute.

58
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: Obviously it was going to happen.

59
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 2: But I think they're wrong in the arguments for a

60
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: couple of reasons. There's some pretty esteemed scholars, Steve Calibrizi

61
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: Paul Cassel, who have explained why the courts.

62
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: Just have it wrong with this.

63
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: Professor Calibriezy says this section of the law five point

64
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 2: forty six is unconstitutional. It invades the executive power, and

65
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: he cites a couple of recent cases that talk about

66
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: the exclusive executive power and here to a point a

67
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: representative of the executive branch. Cassell says, it's constitutional, but

68
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: that the president has the right to appoint successive inter

69
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: US attorneys or in this case, because you could act

70
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: as acting US attorney. We see in the case in

71
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: California with Bill Alisaley that he continued to go on

72
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 2: as first assistant.

73
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: So I give great credit to miss Halligan.

74
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: But the other point I would make here is this,

75
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: these are public figures. First of all, the hypocrisy of

76
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: the argument, now given the position these folks took with

77
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: Jack Smith, but in any of it putting that aside,

78
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: these are public figures. Why not deal with these cases

79
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: on the merits they're going to have.

80
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: To sooner or later because they win. Another excellent point.

81
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: That's why I point out that these cases were dismissed

82
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: without prejudice, meaning there is nothing to prevent the cases

83
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: from being filed again. So if I were Letitia James

84
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: and James Comy, I wouldn't be doing the happy dance.

85
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: I'd still be lawyered up. Because if if and I

86
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: actually buy the argument that they this judge impeded on

87
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: the executive authority. But I'll get to that in a minute,

88
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: they'll just go about appointing a new US attorney, or

89
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: maybe they'll hire someone within the DOJ and assign them

90
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: to prosecute the cases will be re indicted.

91
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: And if you read the James indictment carefully, and of

92
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: course everyone's entitled the presumption of innocence, if you read

93
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: it carefully, they have her coming and going if they

94
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: can prove the allegations in the indictment. First, she claimed

95
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: a secondary home, which means she has to have certain

96
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: personal use days fourteen days a year. But in her

97
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: tax schedule, according to the indictment, at least she said

98
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: zero personal days in the home. I would ask questions like,

99
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: does she have an insurance policy?

100
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: What does she put on her application? Does she make it? Yeah?

101
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Was a di renor's policy? Was it a you know,

102
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: an occupied property. Yeah, lots of questions remain, but that's

103
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: for that. They goes to the substance the merits of

104
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: the case. I want to focus for a minute on

105
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: how this judge reached her conclusion that these cases should

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: be dismissed because of procedural matters. Next, if you got

107
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: rid of my head, I'd weigh one hundred and seventy pounds.

108
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: Like So, this judge, who's seventy seven years old, as

109
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: if that makes any difference, was appointed by Bilkman back

110
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety four. The Chief Judge of the Fourth

111
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: Circuit asked this judge, Judge Curry, who is based in

112
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: South Carolina, to handle Komi's motion to disqualify, and then

113
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: Chief Judge Diez said in an October twenty first order

114
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: that the transfer was necessary for quote limited purposes in

115
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: the interests of maintaining public confidence in the impartial administration

116
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: of justice. And then boom, boom boom, the same thing

117
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: happened with emotion by Letitia James, and that motion for

118
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: her her motion to dismiss based on disqualification also landed

119
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: with Judge Curry for the same reason. So it was

120
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: just like boom boom, boom boom. Now you can read

121
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: both orders online if you want to, but let me

122
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: just tell you about them.

123
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

124
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: In start contrast to Judge Eileen Cannon's five month deliberations

125
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: where she spent Judge Judge Eileen Cannon, I should back up.

126
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Judge Eileen Cannon is the judge down in Florida that

127
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: is dealing with the Jack Smith appointment on the classified

128
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: documents case based on that rate of mar Lago. Judge

129
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: Eileen Cannon is the judge in Florida, the federal district

130
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: judge in Florida that spent five months understanding whether it

131
00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: was constitutional or lawful for Jack Smith to be appointed

132
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: as a quote special Council. And in that case, Trump's

133
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: lawyers filed a motion to dismiss that document's case based

134
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: on Smith's unconstitutional appointment in February of last year, and

135
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: Federal District Judge Aileen Cannon agreed with Trump in the

136
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: matter and dismissed the document's case back in July of

137
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. So she took five months studying before

138
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: she issued her order claiming that or her finding that

139
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed. Judge Curry took less than

140
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: a month to kick Special Council or I shouldn't say

141
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: Special Council Assistant US Attorney Halligan off both those cases.

142
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: She held a hearing today I'm broadcasting live today on Tuesday,

143
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: November twenty five. She held a hearing back on November thirteen, when,

144
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: among other things, Curry accused Halligan of intentionally withholding part

145
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: of a grand jury transcript from the day of the

146
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:17,359
Speaker 1: indictment the judges. Judge Curry claims that Halligan's appointment violates

147
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: federal law and the Appointments Clause of the Constitution, while

148
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: at the same time making a really stunning argument that judges,

149
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: not the President or the Attorney General, bear the primary

150
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: responsibility of appointing interim US attorneys. I find that astonishing.

151
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: If you listen to me yesterday and my discussion about

152
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: this Judge Brown down in Texas who decided on his

153
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: own that he didn't like what the Texas legislature was

154
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: doing about reapportionment and decided they were all racist, and

155
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: so he just summarily dismissed the case and didn't give

156
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: the dissenting judge time.

157
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: Ah.

158
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought that was crazy, but when I

159
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: went back after yesterday's program and was getting ready to

160
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: do this part today, I find this equally stunning. Where

161
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: in the hell do judges think that they have the

162
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: power or the responsibility to appoint US attorneys? Just find

163
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: this it's so freaking unbelievable. It's hilarious. Consider ramifications of

164
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: this quote. Sub Section D then provides a single option

165
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: for how subsequent interim appointments may be made. If an

166
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: appointment expires under subsection C two, the District Court for

167
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: such district. If an appointment expires under sub section C two,

168
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: the District Court for such district and only that district,

169
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: may appoint a US attorney to serve until the vacancy

170
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: is filled. Now, the text and even the structure of

171
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: that section, in particular, that sub section may clear the

172
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: appointment power shifts to the district court after there's been

173
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: a one hundred twenty day period, and two does not

174
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: revert to the Attorney General if a court appointed US

175
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: attorney leaves office before a Senate confirmed US attorney is installed.

176
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: It's crazy talk. Both James and komy Kurry announced can

177
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: quote return to the status they occupied before being indicted?

178
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: What both James and Komy can return to the status

179
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: they occupied before being indicted. Now the Department of Justice

180
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: is obviously going to appeal. But further both indictments were

181
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: dropped without prejudice, as I said, which means the government

182
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: can seek new indictments, although the Comy case might be

183
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: trickier given the expired statue limitations. Caroline Levitt, White House spokesperson,

184
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: reacted to the judge's decision, which is next. I know

185
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: you've noticed it too, Grant, because even you said something

186
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: about it. He can't resist come up and see you

187
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: and me because even though he's on holiday, what he's

188
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: got a broken middle finger? What was that about? He

189
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: just can't leave you alone.

190
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: You're so entertaining.

191
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: But he comes in on his off day just to

192
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: give me the finger.

193
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 4: Like I said earlier, I've tried to call off today.

194
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: I had to work with you, dall to.

195
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: Come in on his day's office.

196
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: So you don't think that I don't understand this. I

197
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: don't appreciate it. You know the fact that I the

198
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: fact that I'm happy to have you instead of him,

199
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: is only measured in like you know, minuscule measure. It's

200
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: not like any great thing to write home about it'll

201
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: make your holiday happier, and you're done with me and

202
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: you go home. That's a great way to look. Is

203
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: it north or south? Where are you going?

204
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 4: I'm from Ohio, but my brother lives in South Carolina.

205
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I thank you said you're going to South Carolina. That

206
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: threw me off.

207
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 4: Yep, South Carolina for Thanksgiving. Then he's getting married oh

208
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 4: this weekend, oh over Thanksgiving? Yeah, bold choice. I told

209
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: you it is bold and odd. But I guess everyone

210
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 4: has brother, right, so.

211
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: I guess she didn't expect anything different. Odd? Right?

212
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, if you see me, just think like ten

213
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 4: times odd and bold.

214
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: Is he older? Younger? Older? Oh? Is he the oldest?

215
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: He is just me and him? Oh, just the two

216
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: of you.

217
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 4: Yep, he's three and a half years.

218
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: So you're you're the second child, the forgotten child, the

219
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: forgotten child, and you're obviously the loser in the family.

220
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: Correct.

221
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: And your parents did you know they have it? They

222
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: have ten million pictures of your older brother, and they

223
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: have five pictures of youth.

224
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 5: You know that is so true, not even funny like

225
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 5: I was like it was I adopted. There's like three

226
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 5: pictures of me as a kid, and they're all with

227
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 5: my older brother and there's a million of him.

228
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: Of him by himself, right, Yes, I mean you got

229
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: did you get hand me downs? Of course? What's the

230
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: age of difference?

231
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 4: Three years?

232
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: Oh so yeah, of course Mom could save stuff and

233
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: then you could wear it, you know, three years later

234
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: everyone cares if it's out of style. Who cares?

235
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, right.

236
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: Save her fifty cents. So of course she put in

237
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: a hole on the shoe.

238
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 4: No big deal, grant, it'll be fine. I'll learn how

239
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: to walk with it.

240
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: That's why you walk. Funny, they got a limp still. Well,

241
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, you could be the redhead step child, you know, right.

242
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: Like dragon and he just have to grow out some

243
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: weird beard to stand out.

244
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: So you mind me asked, what do your parents do?

245
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: They both love?

246
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, my dad is a CPA, has his own firm,

247
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: and my mother runs the front office for him.

248
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: Oh really wow, And they've been married all this time

249
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: and they and they work together too. Yes see that

250
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: that's to me, that's a major accomplishment. Yeah. Either camer

251
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: and I were like, if I were practicing law and

252
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: she was running my front desk, my front office, it

253
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't last are you and missus redbeard meat? In our situation,

254
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: this would never last a New York minute.

255
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 4: Well, that's why I love my usual schedule so much.

256
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: I just come home.

257
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 5: My wife's about ready for debt for bed, got dinner

258
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 5: right waiting for me. Say a couple of words, and

259
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 5: then she's off the bed and I get my owne time.

260
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 4: And I can say that on this show because I know.

261
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: She's not listening to this at all. Right, there's no

262
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: there's no way in hell should be listening to it,

263
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: No way, right right, Oh, I understand, I understand. Yeah,

264
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: it is what it is. Can I have that microphone

265
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: on my chance? Can I have that? Bay? Thank you?

266
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: Thank you so, Caroline Lovett is Adres. Let's let's first

267
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: go to MSNBC because MSNBC gives you a great perspective

268
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: on how they perceive the disqualification of Lindsay Halligan. Shouldn't

269
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: surprise you.

270
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 6: These two individuals cut peace.

271
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter which judge as they're talking about.

272
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: They can be talking about a Trumple point of judge.

273
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: They've had Trumple point of judges who have ruled against them,

274
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: and these same talking points come out to play because

275
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: they know what is all they have?

276
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly right.

277
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 6: So the appointment of Lindsay Halligan was a desperation atched

278
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 6: by the Justice departman. Nobody wanted an inexperienced insurance lawyer

279
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,119
Speaker 6: going into the grand jury.

280
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: By gone Liz Law applayment. Nobody wanted an inexperienced insurance

281
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: lawyer going before the grand jury. Yet somehow this inexperienced

282
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,479
Speaker 1: insurance lawyer went before a grand jury and got an indictment,

283
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: and not just any indictment, but she got two indictments.

284
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: An indictment against James call Me, the former director of

285
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: the freaking Federal Bureau of Investigation, and an indictment against

286
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: the sitting US or not US attorney, the city Attorney

287
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: General for the State of New York. I actually feel

288
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: a lot of empathy and sympathy for Lindsey Halligan. And

289
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: to David Shoon's point, the administration did not support her

290
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: the way they should have. And I put that not

291
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump, I put that on a g PM

292
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: BONDI she knew going in she needed somebody, but she

293
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: could have she could have made the appointment. She could

294
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: have sent her in as second chair and given her

295
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: somebody from the DOJ headquarters to come in and prosecute

296
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: the cases. They could have done any number of things,

297
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: as David Showan, as David Shoan pointed out, but regardless

298
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: of what could have been, should have been, may have been. Nonetheless,

299
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: these cases have been dismissed, but just being dismissed. If

300
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: I were James Comy, I'd be a little careful about,

301
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: you know, claiming that.

302
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that the court ended case against me, which

303
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: was a prosecution based on malevolence and inconfidence and a

304
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: reflection of what the Department of Justice has become under

305
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, which is heartbreaking that I'm also inspired by

306
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 3: the example of the career people who refused to be

307
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: part of this travesty. It costs some of them more jobs,

308
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 3: which is painful, but to preserve their integrity which is

309
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: beyond price, and I know they will serve again.

310
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: Oh let's go back, because here's where he I mean,

311
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: I understand he's going to make a public statement and

312
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: he's going to say whatever he needs to say because

313
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: he knows that the cabal will repeat his story ad

314
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: nauseum and his talking points ad nauseum. As a lawyer,

315
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: change Comy not me obviously me too, but particularly him

316
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: as a lawyer. If I had a criminal indictment against

317
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: me from the Department of Justice handed down by a

318
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: grand jury and all the judge had done was dismiss

319
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,640
Speaker 1: it on a procedural technicality without prejudice, meaning that if

320
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: and when the Attorney General gets her act together, gets

321
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: her thesis together, and actually gets somebody appointed properly and

322
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: refiles the case, I would not be saying this.

323
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that the court ended the case against me,

324
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: which was a prosecution based on malevolence and incompetence.

325
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: There is nothing in the record on the judge's order

326
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: or otherwise that this case is, you know, malicious, or

327
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: that it was without justification or anything else. And considering

328
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: that you still face the potential of the indictment being refiled,

329
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: I think I'd be a little more careful about what

330
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: I was saying. But then I'm James Comy and I

331
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: like to walk the beach with my wife and put

332
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: up eighty six forty seven as if nobody would know

333
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: what the means eighty six forty seven. The stupidity of

334
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: some of the people just continue to amaze me. But

335
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: here's Caroline Levitt reacting to the judge's decision on Fox News.

336
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: That's White House response to that, and what can we

337
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: expect will happen next?

338
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 6: Caroline, Well, what I will say is that everybody knows

339
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 6: that James Comy lied to Congress. It's as clear as day.

340
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 6: And this judge took an unprecedented action to throw these

341
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 6: cases out to shield James Comy and Letitia James from

342
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 6: accountability based on a technical ruling, and the administration disagrees with.

343
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 4: That technical ruling.

344
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 6: We believe the attorney in this case, Lindsay Halligan, is

345
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 6: not only extremely qualified for this position, but she was

346
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 6: in fact legally appointed. And I know the Department of

347
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 6: Justice will be appealing this in very short order. So

348
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 6: maybe James Comy should pump the brakes on his victory lap.

349
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. And by the way, I haven't commented,

350
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: but let me comment on my attitude toward the statute.

351
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: I think the statute is unconstitutional. I don't think there's

352
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: any interpretation that would say that at you know, a

353
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: US attorney dies, resigns, gets fired, whatever, And there is

354
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: a period of time in which the judicial branch has

355
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: any authority whatsoever to appoint someone in the executive branch.

356
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: That's a complete misreading of the of the of the

357
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: unified Executive, of the powers of the Presidency, of the

358
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: powers of the Presidency. To think that a federal district judge,

359
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: because somebody appearing in front of her in her court

360
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: she thinks doesn't wasn't appointed properly or whatever, that she

361
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: has the power to appoint someone I think is just

362
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: absolutely absurd, totally absurd because you don't live in California. Well,

363
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: unless you do live in California, of course, in which case, well,

364
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: my sympathies. Well, you know, I can say he's Hartley's

365
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: true for Colorado too. But if you don't live in

366
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: the Golden State, well then you have exactly the same

367
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: residency status as the newest candidate for the state's governor's office.

368
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: That would be the very gaseous dimwit who is possibly

369
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: the dumbest member of the US House Representatives Congressmyck Swalwell.

370
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: I would say he's the dumbest member in the either

371
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: House of Congress. You know, you've got the House in

372
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: the Senate, but then you've got Maziehrano, You've got the

373
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: purple hailed lady I forget her name. I think she's

374
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: from Connecticut. I know she's a graduate either at Yale

375
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: or Harvard. But I guess shocking news for you. Being

376
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: a graduate of Yale or Harvard doesn't necessarily make you smart.

377
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: And you've got people like Sheldon white House, You've got

378
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: Old Bloomenthal, the guy that light about his service in Vietnam. Yeah,

379
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: you got a really bunch of gas bags in Congress.

380
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: But gas bags in Congress that might be redundant too.

381
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: But back to Swalwell. Mister Swallwell not only lists his

382
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: official residence, his official residence as being a really fabulous

383
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: one point two million dollars townhouse in the District of Columbia.

384
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: But guess what if that's not good enough for you.

385
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: He has no legal residence whatsoever anywhere in state of California.

386
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: He owns no property, he doesn't claim any residents in

387
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: the state of California whatsoever. He has moved his legal

388
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: residence to the District of Columbia, not even the state,

389
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: and he's running for the governor of California. Carbet bagging.

390
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: I think that's taking carbet bagging to the extreme. Yet,

391
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: how has he or he has served, I should say,

392
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: as a member of Congress, representing first the state's fifteenth

393
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: district between twenty thirteen and twenty three twenty twenty three,

394
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: and now he represents the fourteenth Congressional district from twenty

395
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: twenty three through today, despite undeniably standing in violation of

396
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: California's residence requirements. But yeah, that just puts in the

397
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 1: same status as oh, Maxine Waters. Maxine Waters has not

398
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: resided in her nominal congressional district for decades now, So

399
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: apparently residency in California is what I would suggest is

400
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: well is a suggestion, not an actual rule. So add

401
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: the termally dumb Congressman Swallwell to the monstrously abusive former

402
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: Congressman Katie Porter as the two leading Democrats who are

403
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: now wanting to succeed Gavin Newsom as the governor of California.

404
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: The Dems, I don't think are sending their best. Speaking

405
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: about the case against James Comy, you you should also

406
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: ignore claims by his sick ephants like Fox News contributor

407
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: Anny McCarthy, that the case against him is somehow weak.

408
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: It is, in fact, I think an open and shutcase

409
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: in which I think Comby, if it ever gets to

410
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: a trial, will be found guilty if the Department of

411
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Justice ever manages to get it to a trial. Catherine Harritge,

412
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 1: who I think does excellent reporting, who was frankly too

413
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: good at her job to remain employed by the CBS

414
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: News propaganda machine, has doggedly investigated the ins and outs

415
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: of the Kombe case. She has conducted dozens of interviews

416
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: with experts and likely witnesses in the process. Yesterday she

417
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: posted a trific you have to be a subscriber, I think,

418
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: but a really good seventeen minute video on her x

419
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: feed detailing the case. Let me just give you a summary.

420
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: This week, former FBI Director Kombe's legal team took their

421
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: best shot at getting his criminal indictment dismissed. The evidence

422
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: released by the FBI director includes FBI burn bags. A

423
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: burn bag is I used to have burn bags next

424
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: to my office in DC, I mean next to my

425
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: desk in DC. So if I were reading a top

426
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: secret document and I was finished with the document and

427
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: I wanted the document destroyed, I would put it in

428
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: a burn bag and every day, and because my office

429
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: was secure, it was okay to put it in the

430
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: burn bag because you cause you couldn't just willingly walk

431
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: into my office, so he would remain in the burn bag.

432
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: And it was very distinctly marked as a burn bag.

433
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: It looked like the cover sheet for a top secret document.

434
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, the security personnel,

435
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: maybe actually sometimes twice a day, security personnel would come

436
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: into my office and they would pick up the burn bag,

437
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: leave a new burn bag, take the oldwe down and

438
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: literally burn it or they would shred it according to

439
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: the security standards, such that there was no way, I mean,

440
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: it would be in little tiny bits of paper that

441
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: you could even make a paper wad to shoot through

442
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: a straw where there was totally destroyed. That's what a

443
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: burn bag is. Catherine Herridge points that she's talked about

444
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: the FBI burn bags containing sensitive records about the Donald

445
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: Trump probes, the Donald Trump indictments. Well, the evidence is

446
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: credible and could prove hard to overcome if Comy's case

447
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: does go to trial. She spoke with six former FBI agents.

448
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: Remember Comey says, oh, these people gave up their jobs

449
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Well, between them they have more

450
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: than ninety nine decades ninety years of law enforcement experience.

451
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: They said the FBI Trump probes were not done by

452
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: the book, and she lists a couple of reasons. The

453
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: burn bags that were discovered at the FBI headquarters contained

454
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: sensitive and classified records, including mar al Lago January sixth

455
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: and the russiacclusion probes. A former FBI agent called it

456
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: nefarious that these burn bags weren't immediately destroyed. Classified CIA

457
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: referrals about alleged Clinton plans found in a storage closet

458
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: adjacent to James Comey's office. Classified CIA referrals about the

459
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: alleged Clinton plan in that closet, FBI leaked investigations code

460
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 1: named artie K's. We've talked about that before. Alleg's investigator

461
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: level briefings to press about Comy's handling the Clinton email probe,

462
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: former FBI special agent quote, if it's not illegal, I

463
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. As an example, Columbia law

464
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: professor acted as Comey's de facto of personal pr rep.

465
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: Remember that he's the one that went to that Columbia

466
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: professor had them leaked the information about the Steele dossier.

467
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: In fact, they've got evidence of that. Connecting the dots

468
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Susans Rice January twenty seventeen email claiming that the FBI

469
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: and the Intelligence wrote Russian probes were quote done by

470
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: the book news reports wrongly used to justify surveillance warrants

471
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: for Trump's campaign aides. Form A just said that deviated

472
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: from FBI investigating standards. I mean, she has done Yeomen's work. Again.

473
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: You can view the video if you if you subscribe

474
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: to her on her ex account, I recommend that you

475
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: do it. But in another bit of glorious news, it

476
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: also looks like the Department of Justice has a grand

477
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: jury convened to investigate and I hope indict Adam Schiff

478
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: on mortgage fraud and other charges. I think these people

479
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: believe that they you'll go back to the person's point

480
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: about ego. I really think that most people inside the Beltway,

481
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: their egos are so big that they believe that the

482
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: rules don't apply to them, and they're very adept at

483
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 1: enacting rules, laws, regulations, statues. However, you want to classify

484
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: them that you have to comply with, but they don't

485
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: have to it.

486
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 4: Truly.

487
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: That's why I refer to it as a ruling class.

488
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: They really are part of a class of people that

489
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: they think they're better than the rest of us. Well,

490
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: some of you may have seen a report last week

491
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: by a reporter for the Washington Post. Her name is

492
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: Carol Lennick, that the US Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche

493
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: had a Maryland grand jury convened to investigate the pardon

494
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: Attorney Ed Martin and the Director of the Federal Housing Agency,

495
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Bill Poulty. In fact, she writes, federal grand jury and

496
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: Maryland is now investigating whether the Trump allies Bill Pulti

497
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: and DOJ official Ed Martin improperly assigned unauthorized people to

498
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: help investigate mortgage fraud of Trump critics. Well, guess what

499
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: turns out the report is false? Yeah, oh, I'm sure,

500
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: I know you're shocked. Washington Post filed and printed a

501
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: false report. Yes, the Maryland grand jury was actually convened

502
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: to investigate Adam Shift over Poulty's allegations that the California

503
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: senator has for years engaged in multiple counts of mortgage fraud.

504
00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: It's not to investigate Trump allies, it's to investigate Adam Shift. Now,

505
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: when former chief of staff at the Department of Justice

506
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: during Trump's first term, Chad Maizelle posted this response to

507
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: Linux false post free advice. He writes, don't listen to

508
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: folks who have no clue how the Department of Justice works.

509
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: Ed Martin and Bill Pultier Fine, Adam Shift, he needs

510
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: to lawyer up Amen
