Senter Chuck Grassley, 60 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: the Republican from Iowa, has now released one hundred and 61 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 3: ninety seven subpoenas that the Biden administration's FBI use to 62 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: seek testimony and documents related to hundreds of Republicans and 63 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: GOP entities as part of the bureaus. Arctic Frost pro 64 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: the prosecutor to former Special Council Jack Smith's election investigation, 65 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 3: which now is in essence a hit list, a target list, 66 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: a black book of influential conservatives and members of Congress 67 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 3: who they wanted to target. Arctic Frost was the vehicle 68 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: by which partisan FBI agents, Chuck Grassey said, and DOJ 69 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 3: prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus. I 70 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 3: want you to hear exactly what Chuck Grassey had to 71 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: say at this press conference. It is shocking, and now 72 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 3: we know just how corrupt the Democratic Party was under 73 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: the Biden administration. 74 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 5: A little bit of history before I get to what 75 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 5: we're releasing today. I started the investigation into Arctic Frost 76 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 5: July twenty twenty. 77 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 4: Two, based on whistleblower disclosures. 78 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 5: Based on these disclosures, we know that weaponized, taxpayer funded 79 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 5: agents and prosecutors advanced the investigation as Arctic Frost advanced 80 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 5: ninety two Republican organizations or individuals were targeted, not just Trump, 81 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 5: and they were added to its scope. And author of 82 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 5: that targeting list was Special Agent wash and Walter Jaredino. 83 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 5: He's the same weaponized agent who was involved in other 84 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 5: cases against Republicans, including Peter Navarro. We've learned Jack Smith 85 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 5: secretly obtained phone record data from at least eight. 86 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 4: Senators and one Congressman. 87 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 5: I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least eleven 88 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 5: members with Verizon accounts were affected. That includes a hardline 89 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 5: for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer cell phone for 90 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 5: former Senator Leffler. 91 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: At and T inform me. 92 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 5: They challenged the legal basis for Jack Smith's efforts and 93 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 5: Smith's back down. So today we're making public new records 94 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 5: that I've attained through legally protected whistleblower disclosures. One hundred 95 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 5: and ninety seven subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and 96 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 5: his team. These subpoenas were issued to thirty four individuals. 97 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 6: And one hundred and sixty three businesses, including financial institutions, 98 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 6: and one of the points of contact on many of 99 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 6: these subpoenas. 100 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 5: Was that person I previously named, Special Agent Walter Geardino. 101 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 5: The subpoena requested records and communications related to over four 102 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty individual and organizations, all of them appear 103 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 5: to be aimed at Republicans. A subpoena to Event Strategies 104 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 5: requested records relating to Turning Point USA and the Republican 105 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 5: Attorney General's Association. One subpoena to Apple sought records relating 106 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 5: to Trump and the January sixth prison choir. Earlier this year, 107 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 5: I obtained emails between and among J. P. Cooney, one 108 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 5: of Jack Smith's prosecutors. That email exchange was March twenty 109 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: twenty three about a partisan news article on January sixth, 110 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 5: and this is what Cooney said in the email. Can 111 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 5: we do some work to nail down Trump's role in this, 112 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 5: perhaps with the same process on Ed Henry's LLCT. 113 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 3: You look at what Chuck Grassley is talking about here, 114 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: and it's truly incredible. What he's describing is the Democratic 115 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: Party saying we are going to use our DOJ, the FBI, 116 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 3: thisa whoever, we need to open up investigations and then 117 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: go out and attack our political enemies. Now, this is 118 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: a direct contradictory statement of facts to what Smith had 119 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 3: said publicly this it was clearly a phishing expedition. Grassley 120 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: went on to say, standing alongside Grassley, center Ron Johnson, 121 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: he called the subpoenas nothing short of a Biden administration 122 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: enemies list. Take a Listen to Johnson in his own. 123 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 7: Words, I think it's important to note that the records 124 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 7: that we are now making public in the personal Transparency 125 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 7: were not obtained from the agency. They were obtained through 126 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 7: a whistleblower sorom. Our first point is we need more 127 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 7: whistle blowers. We need people men and women inside these 128 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 7: agencies who have integrity, who want to see the integrity 129 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 7: andre credibility of the Department Justice of the FBI. We 130 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 7: stored come forward because right now, I think for tail 131 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 7: Pan Bondy are overwhelmed by all the messages they're trying 132 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 7: to clean up. The agencies have been lost a lot 133 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 7: of personnel people simply couldn't serve the Trump administration. It's 134 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 7: hard to hire people because of all the lawfare, and 135 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 7: they're still partisan actors burrowed in trying to sabotage their efforts. 136 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: So we need whistleblowers. 137 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 7: The reason they come forward to Chairman Grassley is because 138 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 7: he's been such a champion of whistleblowers, So again I 139 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 7: thank him for that. What is revealed in those seventeen 140 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 7: hundred PAGs of documents, in those one hundred and ninety 141 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 7: seven subpoenas is nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list. 142 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 7: You know, I'm old enough to understand how toxic a 143 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 7: term that was under Richard Nixon. This is far worse, 144 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 7: far worse orders the magnitude worse. People need to understand 145 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 7: how politicized the Biden ministration turned all these agencies. And again, 146 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 7: the best way to describe President Biden's attitude his exact quotes. 147 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 7: We thought basically half America were domestic terrorists. In September 148 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 7: twenty twenty two, in front of Indpenn's Hall, he said 149 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 7: Donald Trump and the Magan Republicans represent an extremism that 150 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 7: threatens the very foundation of our republic. A year later, 151 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 7: in New York City, Donald Trump is mega Republicans are 152 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 7: determined to destroy American democracy. Now, nothing could be further 153 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 7: from the truth. That is a level of paranoia that's 154 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 7: actually astonishing. But the fact that thirty eight Wisconsinites are 155 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 7: on that enemy's list, I know most of those individuals. 156 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 7: They are god fearing, country loving law law, law enforcement 157 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 7: supporting people who want to see America succeed. The fact 158 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 7: that they are on a Biden administration enemies list, we're 159 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 7: targeted by that administration is outrageous. It should shock every 160 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 7: American And so I am calling on and I appreciate 161 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 7: all the members of the Juiciary Committee. We need to 162 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 7: get to the bottom of this. We need to do 163 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 7: everything we can to assist Director Patel and ag Bondie 164 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 7: in making sure that they have the staff to take 165 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 7: control of these agencies, that they're the heads of them. 166 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 7: I don't think they have the I think they're being 167 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 7: sabotaged within. But the American people need to understand exactly 168 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 7: what happened. And again I'm calling on members of the 169 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 7: Judiciary commit to help SENDI Grassing myself get to the 170 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 7: bottom of this so we can expose this so this 171 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 7: doesn't happen again in America. 172 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: This has to end. 173 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 3: You can hear Johnson there obviously very angry about what 174 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: he has witnessed and now the data that he has uncovered. 175 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 3: This is a massive abuse of power by the Biden administration, 176 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 3: and it attacked anyone they thought was their political enemy. 177 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: Johnson is not the only one that is furious about 178 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 3: what they are uncovering. There's also other members of Congress 179 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: who were spied upon, sitting members of Congress. One of 180 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 3: them was Senator Ted Kruz. And I want you to 181 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 3: hear what Senator Cruz said after he found out that 182 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: his office phone, in his actual office in the United 183 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 3: States Senate building was tapped. Why because he was a Conservative? 184 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 3: That was the crime. Take a listen. 185 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:03,599 Speaker 1: Arctic from US is Joe Biden's Watergate Merrick Garland was 186 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: a fundamentally corrupt Attorney General. Jack Smith was a fundamentally 187 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: corrupt prosecutor. This was a political enemies list from the beginning, 188 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety seven subpoenas for four hundred and 189 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 1: thirty Republican entities and individuals. That is an absolute and 190 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: egregious abuse of power. The Biden Justice Department signed off 191 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: on issuing subpoenas for the phone records of at least 192 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: nine US senators, twenty percent of the Republicans in the 193 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: United States Senate where the target of this fishing expedition. 194 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: They did so in complete contravention of the Constitution of 195 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: separation of powers of the Speech and Debate clause of 196 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: free speech of basic rights of privacy. This is an 197 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: executive who believes it is justified spying on their opponents 198 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: in the legislature because they convinced themselves the ends justify 199 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: the means. I want to talk to you about one 200 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: of those subpoenas. One of those subpoenas went from Jack 201 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: Smith to AT and T seeking my cell phone communications. 202 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: It went to AT and T, and I actually want 203 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: to commend AT and T for doing the right thing. 204 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 4: AT and T is based in Texas. 205 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: AT and T looked at that subpoena, and they went 206 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: to their legal council and they said, what should we 207 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: do with that subpoena? And their legal council said, you 208 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: cannot comply because this is protected by the Speech and 209 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: Debate clause of the US Constitution. And so AT and 210 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: T declined to comply. Did not hand over my cell 211 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: phone records. Now, one might ask, ordinarily a phone company 212 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: being asked to hand over the phone records of a 213 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: sitting senator would notify that senator. Well, there was a 214 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: reason AT and T did not do so. Accompanying the 215 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: subpoena was an order which I have in my hand 216 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,199 Speaker 1: right here an order that was signed by Judge James E. 217 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: Bosberg. Now, who is Bosburg? 218 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: Boseburg is that radical left disjudge who is out of control, 219 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: who has been issuing nationwide injunctions one after the other, 220 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: trying to stop President Trump from carrying out his mandate 221 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: from the voters. Judge Boseburg issued an order to the 222 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: US to AT and T and sign that order prohibiting 223 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: AT and T from informing me of this subpoena for 224 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: at least one year. And Judge Boseburg gave the basis 225 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: for that order. And I'm going to quote from the 226 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: order Judge Boseburg signed. The Court finds reasonable grounds to 227 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: believe that such disclosure will result in destruction of or 228 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy 229 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: to the investigation. That's an order a judge sign. Now, 230 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: I can tell you right now there is precisely zero 231 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: evidence to conclude that I am likely to destroy or 232 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: tamper with evidence or to intimidate potential witnesses, zero evidentiary 233 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 1: basis for that. This order is an abusive power. This 234 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 1: order is a weaponized legal system. 235 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 4: My assumption. 236 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: We don't have the subpoenas that were issued for the 237 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: other senators, but my assumption is Judge Boseburg printed these 238 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: things out like the placemats at Denny's, one after the other. 239 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: We don't know that for a fact, but I feel 240 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: confident that he concluded it's likely that Lindsey Graham would 241 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: destroy evidence, and Marshall Blackburn would destroy evidence, and Eric 242 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: Schmidt would destroy evidence, and Chuck Grassley would destroy evidence. 243 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: If a litigant makes a claim for which there is 244 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: no factual basis, that litigant is subject to sanctions in 245 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: federal court. And if a judge signs an order reaching 246 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: a factual conclusion for which there is zero evidence whatsoever, 247 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: that judge is abusing his power. I am right now 248 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: calling on the House of Representatives to impeach Judge Bozburg. 249 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: Judge Bosburg put his robe down, stood up, and said, 250 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: sign me up to be part of the partisan vendetta 251 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: against twenty percent of the Republicans in the Senate. That 252 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: is a dereliction of duty and a violation of the 253 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: judicial And I want to thank Chairman Grassley and Chairman 254 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: Johnson for pursuing this tenaciously like a dog on a bone. 255 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: We are going to get the answers of every person 256 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: who signed off on this abuse of power, and mark 257 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: my words, there will be accountability for these zelots who 258 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: wanted to corrupt the Department of Justice and corrupt the 259 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: judiciary in order to try to attack their enemies list. 260 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: That is unconstitutional, it is ibmoral, and it is wrong. 261 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 3: This is Biden's Watergate. I could not agree more with 262 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: Senator Cruz when he said that earlier. I couldn't agree 263 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: more with Senator Ron Johnson when he called the subpoenas 264 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 3: nothing short of Biden's administration's enemies list. These subpoenas were 265 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 3: non public for a reason. These subpoenas were confidential grand 266 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 3: jury material that Grassy said he obtained through whistle blower disclosures. 267 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 3: They were trying to hide this from the current administration. 268 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 3: The subpoenas sought certain communications with media companies as well. 269 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: We've now learned that those media companies and could Fox 270 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 3: News Channel, CBS, Sinclair, Newsmax, and with members of aids 271 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 3: in Congress also being put under the well fishing expedition. 272 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 3: We also know they saw it sweeping financial information from 273 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 3: conservative entities as well, those conservative entities. They wanted to 274 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 3: use the federal governments to silence them, to shut them down. 275 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 3: This was literally an enemy's list, and it was all 276 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 3: disguised by the Democratic Party in quiet, privately to make 277 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 3: sure that you and I never found it. It was 278 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 3: also designed to make sure that people like Senator Cruz 279 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: could not stop it when it was happening. And why 280 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 3: did they not want them to know about it? Why 281 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 3: did they lie and say that while these senators who 282 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: they were spying on could not be trusted, that they 283 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: might try to intimidate witnesses with no evidence to back 284 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 3: that up. Because they knew if these senators found out 285 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: about this, they would have the eagle grounds to stop 286 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 3: the Biden administration immediately. And that is exactly why they said, Okay, 287 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 3: we are done. We will do it in silence, we 288 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: will do it quietly. And they were betting on winning 289 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: the next election so they'd never be held accountable for 290 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 3: what they just did. And the massive abuse of power 291 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: that they were in charge of. This was not legal 292 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 3: in any way. This was corruption in every way, and 293 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 3: now Donald Trump's administration has exposed it because of great 294 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: men and women who have risked their careers as whistle 295 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 3: blowers trusting the system. One of the things you heard 296 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 3: there at the very beginning was sender, Grassley and Johnson 297 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 3: talking about we need more whistle blowers to come forward, 298 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 3: and whistle blowers that are witnessing now the protections they're 299 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 3: receiving from the Trump administration are probably a thousand times 300 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 3: more likely to come forward than they would have during 301 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: the Biden era when they could clearly see just how 302 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 3: corrupt they were as a administration. One final thing about this, 303 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 3: I expect there is going to be even more bombshells 304 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: to come forward, more corruption that will be unearthed. And 305 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 3: as all of this corruption continues to be exposed, the 306 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 3: question now is who will be held accountable for it. 307 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 3: Will keep you updated on that, I can promise you. 308 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 309 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
