1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Well, everything we said, everything we were reported, everything we

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: told you was dead on center, accurate. And the mob

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: and the media has missed what is the biggest abuse

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: of power corruption scandal in the history of the country.

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: It is that this report putting aside whatever differences, and

6
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: for the Attorney General and for John Durham to come

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: out like they have and I'll get to these statements

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: in a second, and it is all there in black

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: and white. It's all there. Put the conclusion differences aside

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: for a second. Here, there is no more doubt the

11
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: FBI launched an intrusive investigation in a presidential campaign on

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: what is described as the thinnest of suspicions. The Attorney

13
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: General said and in my view, were insufficient to justify

14
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: the steps taken. It is also clear from its inception

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: that the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory.

16
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: By the way they actually took out exculpatory information, they

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: purposely misled repeatedly the FISA court. It goes on that, nevertheless,

18
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration

19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration in

20
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: the rush to obtain and maintain FIZA surveillance of the

21
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Trump campaign associates. The FBI officials misled the FISA court,

22
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or

23
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: ignored information, negating the reliability of their principal source. The

24
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory.

25
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: That's just the tip of the iceberg. Now that's from

26
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Bill Barr. Now, remember, and this is very critical and

27
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: where we are at this particular moment, because and I've

28
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time explaining this, Horowitz has already

29
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: made numerous referrals from all the people that we're now

30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: going to be talking about today and the upper echelon

31
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: of the FBI long before in his earlier reports. Nobody's

32
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: lifted a finger because an inspector General does not have

33
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: the power to convene a grand jury make charges. And

34
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: what I suspect is going on here is now the

35
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: final step of all this is going to be Durham's report.

36
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: Because Durham said, I have the utmost respect for the

37
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: mission of the Inspector General. The comprehensive work that went

38
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: into the report prepared by mister Harowitz and his staff. However,

39
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: our investigation is not limited to developing information from within

40
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: component parts of the Justice Department. This is what do

41
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: you think they've been in Italy, Great Britain so often?

42
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: What do you think's going on over there? We're going

43
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: to know soon enough. Our investors included developing information from

44
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: other persons entities, both in the US and outside of

45
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: the US. Clapper Brennan, are you paying attention based on

46
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: the evidence collected to date and while our investigation is ongoing.

47
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: Last month, we advise the Inspector General we don't agree

48
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: with some of their conclusions as to the predication of

49
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: how the FBI's case was opened. In other words, we've

50
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: got evidence to the contrary. Let's let's be blunt here.

51
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: That's what he's saying, and it's also a preview, if

52
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: you will, of coming attractions. He's pretty much saying, stay tuned.

53
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: We have a lot more now. Remember, Inspector General referred

54
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: come already prior to this release today, over leaking memos

55
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: and lack of candor and harrow, it's found the FBI's

56
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: handling of the Clinton emails. Remember, senior bureau officials show

57
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: to quote willingness to take official action to prevent Trump

58
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: from becoming president. He's already said all of that. He's

59
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: referred Lisa Page, Peter Struck, Kevin Kleinsmith, and others including

60
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Jim Comey Andrew McCabe for further investigation. Kleinsmith is the

61
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: same anti Trump lawyer we're expecting to hear a lot

62
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: more about in days to come. And back in May,

63
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: the IG referred to an unnamed FBI deputy Assistant director

64
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: for referred this person for prosecution for leaking sealed court records.

65
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: And in April the DJ watch dog, the Inspector General

66
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: sent a criminal referral for the disgraced x FBI official

67
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe or unauthorized leaks and quote lacking candor. But

68
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: now now it's what Durham and barrs saying. Now it's

69
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: time for accountability, because that's all you're gonna get out

70
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: of the Inspector General. He can't convene a grand jury,

71
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: he can't. So now it's in the Attorney General's hand

72
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: and Durham's hand. In their words today should send shivers

73
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: and shocks down the spines of these people have involved

74
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: in this abuse of power corruption scandal. The biggest in

75
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: history here because this is what it is and what

76
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: you know. You look at the numerous factual errors and omissions.

77
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: They failed to vet the information, numerous serious performance failures

78
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: by those handling the FISA application. The applications were oh

79
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: relied on the discredited work of Christopher Steele, as the

80
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Clinton bought and paid for dirty Steele dossier, whose own

81
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: author said, yeah, no, I have no idea of any

82
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: of its true. In other words, it was an unverifiable

83
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: document from the get go. How could you conclude anything

84
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: other than yeah, they did it by design. As far

85
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: as the numerous factual errors and omissions, I mean yeah,

86
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: as we discussed below, we identified numerous serious factual errors

87
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: and omissions. The omissions were exculpatory information which I'll get

88
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: into us this day unfolds. There were serious performance failures.

89
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: We conclude the failures described in this report represents serious

90
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: performance failures by the super advisory and non supervisory agents

91
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: with responsibility over PISA applications. Seventeen significant errors or omissions

92
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: in the FIA applications. Seventeen at least that they've identified.

93
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: IG did not receive satisfactory explanations for any of their

94
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: conduct in the errors in the applications procedures. We also

95
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: did not receive satisfactory explanations for the errors or the

96
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: problems that we identified. In most instances, the agents and

97
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: supervisors told us that they did not know or recall

98
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: why the information was not shared with the FISA court,

99
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: that the failure to do so may have been an

100
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: oversight they didn't recognize at the time the relevance of

101
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: the information. FBI personnel fell far short of the requirement

102
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: that they ensure that all information in a PHIZA application

103
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: is accurate, and it goes to cross via Hurricane team

104
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: that McCabe, Comey others. They wanted to rely on Steal's

105
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: dosier despite knowing the concerns that Steele was being funded

106
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: by the Clinton and the DNC, and McCabe pushed for

107
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: Steele's debunk reporting to be in the intelligence assessment on

108
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen election, despite pushback from the CIA. There

109
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: were concerns about struck in page by passing the chain

110
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: of command to advise McCabe. The IG report concludes Bruce

111
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: or committed consequential errors in judgment. The FBI. Also it

112
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: goes on from there received information raising significant questions about

113
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Steele's findings that did not press steal for information. Steel's

114
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: information played the central and essential role in the decision

115
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: to seek deifies the order. The FBI did not have

116
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: information oberating any of the Steel dossier and the allegations

117
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: that are being made here do you see where this

118
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: is all going? So you know what is in here?

119
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: We're learning in I mean, how many pages total is this?

120
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: I didn't even get to the last page, almost five

121
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: hundred pages. I mean, it's unbelievable. The failure to vet Steel.

122
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: Now here's why would that matter? All right? They fell

123
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: far short in abiding by FISA policy. No corroborating evidence

124
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: as it relates to page allegations. They purposely changed, you know,

125
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: page everything he had told us on this program, according

126
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: to this is all true. He worked for the government,

127
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: he worked for another agency, and then when they were

128
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: handed that information, they altered the information to get into

129
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: everything backdoor. Remember second hand information. Once you get to

130
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: Christopher Carter page, now you're in all things Trump campaign world,

131
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: Trump transition world. There were quote mountains of flags regarding

132
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: Steele's work. The FBI fell far short and abiding by

133
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: FISA policy. Our review found FBI personnel fell far short.

134
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: Factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete,

135
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: unsupported by appropriate documentation. None of these inaccuracies and omissions

136
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: were brought to the attention of the Office of Inspector

137
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: General before the last f application. This went on for

138
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: almost a year. They were Operation Crossfire Hurricane was unable

139
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: to corroborate any of the specific allegations regarding Carter Page

140
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: contained in Steel's DOCI. They couldn't corroborate any of it.

141
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: The FBI's failures created misleading, a misleading FISA application. Seventeen

142
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: specific errors and omissions we have identified in these FISA applications.

143
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: There are so many. Any basic and fundamental errors were

144
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: made by three separate, handpicked teams on one of the

145
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: most sensitive FBI investigations. This is all in the report

146
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: and then it goes on from there. They didn't give

147
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: equal attention, by the way, to the relevant facts. On

148
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: the other side, They purposely took all the exculpatory information

149
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: so that no, we don't want to see that. I

150
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: mean the five's applicant was made clear information supporting probable

151
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: cause it was non existent in this case, they found

152
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: the quantity of omissions and inaccuracies breathtaking and by the way,

153
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: the agents may have improperly substituted their own judgments, you

154
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: think serious performance failures. Then it gets into, you know,

155
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: the very very specific issues involving the dossier, which we've

156
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: got to now pay very close attention to, because if

157
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: we don't get to the basics and this, we're screwed.

158
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: Because you know, Stell, by the way, in his own sense,

159
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: in his own way, was up to was eyeballs in

160
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: this and was doing it for money. And he when

161
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: he finally pushed, came to shove, which they could have

162
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: done from the very beginning they would have found h Yeah. Yeah.

163
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: Now one of the I think most damning things in this,

164
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: which validates every single thing that we told you, Christopher

165
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 1: Steele was paid by the FBI. Steele denies ever agreeing

166
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: to become to work for the FBI, which is an

167
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: interesting sidebar. But what I found most telling is what

168
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: you find out is without any dossier, there was no

169
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: FISA application. Remember we kept saying the bulk of information

170
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: comes from the unverifiable Steel dossier. It says it exactly

171
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: like that. In this report. They had absolutely zero confirmation

172
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: or even an ability to confirm everything James in that

173
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: earlier version, I appreciate it. They didn't even have the

174
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: ability to verify it because they never took the time

175
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: to verify it, and they went as to so far

176
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: is to actually change the evidence that was presented in

177
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: this case, every bit of it. They want it. Well, okay,

178
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: So without the Steel dossier quote, they would not have

179
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: even pursued the FIES warn't because they weren't getting it.

180
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: When I asked about the motivations behind the Steel dossier,

181
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: agent involved didn't respond. The FIS application form was almost

182
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: entirely based on the unverifiable Steel Dossier and this whole

183
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: circular reporting. Remember one step, two step, once you get

184
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: into everything Carter Paige, Now you're into everything Trump worlds

185
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 1: because he worked as a campaign associate and the Trump campaign.

186
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: That gave them a backdoor to the Trump campaign, the

187
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: Trump transition team, and the Trump presidency. The FISA application

188
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: was almost entirely based on the Steel dossier. Oh, who's

189
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: been telling you that? Nobody in the fake news media.

190
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: Without the dossier, they wouldn't have pursued a FIES war

191
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't have gotten one who's been telling you

192
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: that about the motivations buys application, called Steel a reliable

193
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: source and lied that his info had been used in

194
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: criminal proceedings. They actually lied about that. Struck himself signed

195
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: off on an expedited FISA application. They mislern the agent

196
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: misled the attorney saying that Carter Page never met with us.

197
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: Then you have the actual changing of this thing to

198
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: thee where it would have been exculpatory to Carter Page,

199
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: and then they did it to screw him so that

200
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: they could still get to Trump. Page to McCabe, we

201
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: can overcome looking biased in the FISA application. We could

202
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: overcome it. They're bragging about it. And then Page to McCabe, Oh,

203
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: she's so innocent. I thought. We have a robust explanation

204
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: for any possible bias charges here, and it goes on

205
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: from there. It is a lot to absorb. It's nearly

206
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: five hundred pages. I've only had it in my hands

207
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: for a little over two hours, and my entire team

208
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: here was still going through it. But it is everything

209
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: we said is true. Everything, every single thing. The mob

210
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: was wrong every step of the way. Now imagine if

211
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: this was done to Hillary or Barack Obama or any

212
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: Democratic candidate ever, I think the mob would care. So

213
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: what were we telling you versus the mob in the meeting?

214
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: We were telling you that the bulk of information was

215
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: the killery Clinton, unverifiable, bought and paid four Steel dossier.

216
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: Now we know the Fiser request Quote one six twenty

217
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: seven page drew almost entirely from Steele's reporting and describing

218
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: the factual basis to establish probable cause. The bulk of

219
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: information was the dirty dossier, the unverifiable dirty dossier. Now

220
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: we also know when asked for the motivations behind the

221
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: Steel dossier, they didn't know. Without Steel they could not

222
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: have gotten a FISER warrant. That unit chief told the

223
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: OYG that the receipt of Steele's quote reporting changed their

224
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: mind on whether they could establish probable cause. In other words,

225
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: without the dirty Clinton bought and paid for unverifiable dirty

226
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Russian dossier, there is no Fiser report. On top of

227
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: all the lying and exculpatory information with held will continue

228
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour,

229
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean, if you want

230
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: to be a part of this extravaganzas so much to

231
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to stand back. I can look at

232
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: the big picture. There's so much damning information in this thing.

233
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: And what I've now concluded is, if you remember the

234
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: the Mueller Report, the way the Democrats saw it was

235
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: going to lead to the roadmap to impeachment, Dak got

236
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: blown out of the water. By the way. Another thing

237
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: that we find out in this Horowitz report on you know,

238
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: it's so it's so outrageous because all of this is

239
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: such an abuse, disgusting abuse of power. It really is.

240
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if you listen to the words A, Durham

241
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: and Bar, it's devastating. And Durham has the wider scope.

242
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: Durham has the power. Durham is now officially a criminal investigation.

243
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: He can convene grand juries and he's making clear he

244
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: will be doing that. And you know when with Barr

245
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: and his statements, it is it is beyond damning. Um. Now,

246
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: I want to go back now that I'm explaining to

247
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: you everything that we told you is true, and you

248
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: go to page one twenty five, and you can go

249
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: to one twenty four and one twenty six and one

250
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: twenty seven of this report. What are we looking for here,

251
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: all right? Steele? Christopher Steele? Or is it motivations? Remember

252
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: we found out when he when he was pressed under

253
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: oath in an interrogatory in Great Britain. I have known

254
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: you if any of it's true. Single sourced information from

255
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: a crazy person that he describes as a crazy person

256
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: without without the Steel dossier, they knew they couldn't get

257
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,239
Speaker 1: the FISA application McCabe. So McCabe did say it, he's

258
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: saying now he didn't say, of course, he probably said

259
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: it my view, but they're saying in the report that

260
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: with that it pushed it over the line in terms

261
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: of yeah, that was what that was? What did it

262
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: for us? And don't forget they also used a circular reporting.

263
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: They leaked it out to Isakough and what's another hack's

264
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: name conspiracy theorist, Oh, David Corn and Isakov by the way,

265
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: willing dupes, Oh, thank you for the information. Let me

266
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: reported it as true and using that conspiracy theorists that

267
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: they are. But anyway, without the dirty dossier, the Clinton

268
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: pays for that we now know as verifiable. That's how

269
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: they get in a backdoor. Now, of course you get

270
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: once you get to Carter Page. Well, now you get

271
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: into the Trump campaign, and then after the Trump campaign,

272
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: you get into the Trump transition, then the Trump presidency.

273
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: And what's remarkable in all of this is Komey lies

274
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: through his teeth repeatedly, because he signed off on the

275
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: application in October of twenty sixteen. He put his signature

276
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: on that first FISA application with the unverifiable bulk of information.

277
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: I'll read from page one twenty six and seven. The

278
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: FISER request form drew almost entirely from Steels reporting and

279
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: describing the factual ass to establish probable cause to believe

280
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: that Page was an agent of a foreign power. The

281
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: only additional information cited an ADFISER request from the only

282
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: the rest of it was a statement that Paige was

283
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 1: a senior foreign policy adviser for the Trump campaign and

284
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: had extensive ties to various state owned or affiliated entities

285
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: of the Russian Federation. The only other thing besides the

286
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: dossier used to secure the warrant Papadopoulos's statement, which by

287
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: the way, even that's altered and an open source which

288
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: is articles discussing. But all that was was leaks to

289
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: Isakof and korn As I understand it to make it

290
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: seem like it was independent corroboration that was done on

291
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: purpose too. So without the dirty unverifiable Clinton bought and

292
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: paid for Russian dossa, you don't get the back door.

293
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: So remember the standard, because if you look at a

294
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: FISA application, it has the word verified at the top

295
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 1: of it. Oh, it's unverifiable. But it was the it

296
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: was based almost entirely. But for those three things. The

297
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: statement that page was a senior foreign policy blah blah

298
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: blah blah, Papadopoulos's statement, and these two articles written by

299
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 1: two conspiracy theorist hacks that they leaked to and did

300
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: no verification on their own obviously because they're just hacks.

301
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: That hey, Trump, that was it. So it was the

302
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: dirty dossier Laughton paid for unverifiable and then but the standard,

303
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: well Rod Rosenstein told us of mail last year what

304
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: the standard was. Pay close attention the way we operating

305
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. If we're going to accuse somebody

306
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence and credible witnesses.

307
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: We need to prepare to prove our case in court,

308
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: and we have to fix our signature to the charging document.

309
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: That's something that not everybody appreciates. Let's go back to

310
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: the beginning. You need to have real evidence. Play that

311
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: again the way we operate in the Department of Justice.

312
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: If we're going to accuse somebody of wrongdoing, we have

313
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: to have admissible evidence and credible witnesses. We need to

314
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: prepare to prove our case in court, and we have

315
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: to fix our signet out there. Credible evidence, admissible evidence, admissible. Okay,

316
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: none of this is verified. The whole thing was a sham.

317
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: If that's not abusive power, I don't know what is.

318
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: And we're gonna we're creal law enforcement officials listen to

319
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 1: this charging document. That's something that not everybody appreciates. There's

320
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about FISA applications, and many people

321
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: that I see talking about it seem not to recognize

322
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: what a FIES application. FIES application is actually a warrant,

323
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: just like a search warrant. In order to get a

324
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: FISA search warrant, you need an affidavit signed by a

325
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: career federal law enforcement officer who swears that the information

326
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: in the affidavit is true and correct to the best

327
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: of his knowledge and belief. And that's the way we

328
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: operate and if it's wrong. Sometimes it is. If you

329
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: find out there's anything incorrect in there, that person is

330
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: going to face consequences. There was that no time, ever,

331
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 1: any ability to verify the bulk of that application. It's unverifiable. Bull.

332
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: That's why I think we're hearing from Horowitz and Durham.

333
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, I don't know why you're getting this.

334
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Fine,

335
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: but you know, with all due respect, they failed to

336
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: meet the basic obligation to ensure applications were scrupulously accurate.

337
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: It was never that. There was no possibility any of

338
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: it was accurate. It's unverifiable, and they used it four

339
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: times a full year of spying. Then they launched an

340
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: investigation into a presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions,

341
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: as Bill Barr says, and he says, in my view,

342
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: insufficient to justify these steps taken. And then you go

343
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: to Durham, and Durrham's the one that's doing the criminal investigation,

344
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: and he was about as clear as he could be.

345
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: You sure, I respect Harwitz. Our investigation, though, is not

346
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: limited to developing information from within component parts of the

347
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: Justice Department. Oh, other people that have information, we can

348
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 1: go talk to them. Our investigation has included developing information

349
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: from other persons and entities, both in the US and

350
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: outside the US, based on the evidence collected a date,

351
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: and while our investigation is ongoing, we do not agree

352
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: with some of the report's conclusions as to prediction of

353
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: how the FBI case was opened. Remember Harrowitz found that

354
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: dossier provided probable costs to spy on Carter Page. Well, yeah,

355
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: but they had to alter information about Carter Page to

356
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: get there, which I'll get to omitted information the FBI

357
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: obtained from another US government agency detailing its prior relationship

358
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: with Page, including Page had been approved as an operational

359
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: contact for the other agency three letter agency from two

360
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: thousand and eight to thirteen. The Page had provided information

361
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 1: to other agency concerning his prior contacts with certain Russian

362
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: intelligence officials and officers, one of which overlap with facts

363
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: asserted in the visa application. Now we also have a

364
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: included in this whole thing, a source characterization statement about

365
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: Steel's prior reporting had been quote corroborated and used in

366
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: criminal proceedings. That is a lie. That's not true. And

367
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: I've talked to high ranking people all day that know

368
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: within the Justice Department, overstating the significance of Steel's asked

369
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: reporting and was not approved by Steele's handling agent as

370
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: required by WOODS procedures. Three. They omitted information relevant to

371
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: the reliability of person A key Steel's subsource and this

372
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: is the one source. He only had one source. Steel

373
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: himself told members of the Crossfire Hurricane team that one

374
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: person who was at a big ego and was a

375
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: boaster gave him the information may engage in some embellishment.

376
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: Steele even told them that one source by somebody that

377
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: lies basically and if you look at the report nine

378
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, and some if you look at who the

379
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: attribute attribution here with provided information in the report and

380
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: some information and other reports relied on the application. Steal

381
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: himself told members of the the whole team, it's only

382
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: one guy. He's basically telling them, I have no idea.

383
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: If it's true, then that would be premeditated aud and

384
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: that the FBI assessed Steal did not directly provide to

385
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: the press the information for that Yahoo. Michael Iszikov article

386
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: based on the premise that Steele had told the FBI

387
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: he only shared his election related research with FBI and

388
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: Fusion GPS as client. The premise was incorrect and contradicted

389
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: by documentation in the Woods file. Steel had told the

390
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: FBI he also gave information to the State Department. They

391
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: omitted Papadopoulos's statements monitored to an FBI gets informant, denying

392
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: that anyone associated with the Trump campaign ever corroborated with

393
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: Russia or outside groups like Wiki Leaks, Oopsie Daisy that

394
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: would be important. They omitted pages statements that he had

395
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: literally never met or said one word to Manaport, and

396
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: Manaport had not represented to any of pages, emails and

397
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: by the way, number seven pages consentually monitored statements, etc.

398
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: They omitted other statements paid maids that we're inconsistent with

399
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: that theory, including denying Evan met with certain individuals if true.

400
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: Those statements contradicted the claims in the report that Paige

401
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: had met secretly with them about future cooperation. I'm gonna

402
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: tell you one thing that's going to emerge at some

403
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: point here that you pay close attention that I'm right

404
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: on on this. They never once gave the Trump team

405
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: a defensive briefing and said, hey, just to give your

406
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: heads up. We're looking into this possibility. But my sources

407
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: confirming for me today the US government, through Brennan and

408
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: Obama himself, informed the Russians of a possible compromise with

409
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign. That is breathtaking. Brennan called the Russians

410
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: in August and September or twenty sixteen. Did they ever

411
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: think they should call the Trump campaign? Obama called the

412
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 1: Russians in September. Um, how is that possible? He got

413
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: Page in Papadopoulos, you know, literally Page didn't lie to us.

414
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: What did you see that? Remember some people saying don't

415
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: trust Page. This report exonerates him. But they had to

416
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: use manophor Page, Papadopolis and Flynn's Oh, they just used them.

417
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: All these guys were used and abused for the purpose

418
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: of getting a Trump just like call me. Also lied

419
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: when he said, oh, yeah, it's salacious but not verified,

420
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,479
Speaker 1: because three months earlier he was he was saying it

421
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: was verified when he signed off on the FISA application,

422
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: then signed off on two others after he lied to Trump.

423
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: He's caught in a million lies here. And if I'm

424
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: Durham and I'm Bill Barr, Yeah, I'm I'm looking at

425
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: this saying, yeah, this is not true. What else do

426
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: we have in all this? We have? So they're concerned

427
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: about the d O JF eye policies didn't require senior

428
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: officials to be notified the confidential source on Page and

429
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: Papadopolis before and after they joined the Trump team. They altered,

430
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: literally altered the exact wordings. They failed to ever vet

431
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele or the one egotist that he told them

432
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: not to trust. There's a mountain of red flags they

433
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: point out in terms of serious problems with Steal's descriptions,

434
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: but they did it anyway. They never corroborated the allegations

435
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: against Page. Just the opposite. The FBI didn't have information

436
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: corroborating the allegations the end's page, and as a matter

437
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: of fact, they had exculpatory information that they purposely withheld

438
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: from the FISA Court. They never told the FISA court

439
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: that Hillary paid for the dirty Russian dossier. That would

440
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: be important if I was a FISA Court judge. Christopher

441
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: Steele and the FBI, Yeah, they didn't have the relationship

442
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: that the FBI official were saying that they had. You know,

443
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: one weird thing that came out of this is apparently

444
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: Steele says he personally knows a member of the Trump family.

445
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: The some suspect it was a Vonka. I have no idea.

446
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: I am not a native. You can getting into that,

447
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: So you get into this, okay. The FISA application is

448
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: we now know, unverifiable with a single source lunatic that

449
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,239
Speaker 1: they even told everybody was a single source lunatic as

450
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: an egomaniac that makes things up. They FISA request form

451
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: referred to Steele as a reliable source, but yet Steel

452
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: was not considered a reliable source. He was even fired

453
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: by the FBI for lying and leaking Struck's telling the

454
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: Office of Inspector General that he approved the request to

455
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: expedite the FISA a sense of urgency. That's not how

456
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: it works, though, is it? According to Rod Rosensteam, which

457
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: we just played by the way we have we have Comey.

458
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: Let's play comey here, because Comey confessed in this to

459
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,239
Speaker 1: the Inspector General that the steal Darcier shouldn't have been

460
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: used in the application. But that's not what he said

461
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: back when listen. Jim Mayer wrote a very comprehensive piece

462
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: in the New Yorker about Christopher Steele's dacier and about

463
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele, is he considered reliable according to your sources

464
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: as an intelligence agent. Yes, as it was ascribed to

465
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: me when it came in. It was raw intelligence, so

466
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: a series of reports from a credible person with a

467
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: reliable track record and a known, experienced and source network

468
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: in Russia. And so it was something to be taken seriously.

469
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: Didn't mean that it was all true, but it was

470
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: to be taken seriously, and its core assertion was corroborated

471
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: by other intelligence, its core being the Russians exact paining

472
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: to interfere in the American election, just like he lied

473
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: to Trump, so Ealaysia's and unverified everything about this that

474
00:31:55,480 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: we told you is true. That you have literally an

475
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: unverifiable Clinton bought and paid for Russian dossier, the bulk

476
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: of information used for the pies applications, and it to

477
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: abuse power and get at a candidate, a transition team,

478
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: and a president. I can't wait to durham and bargain

479
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: a hold of this. A lot of people had done here,

480
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: trust me, this is bad. Well, I'm not going to

481
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: go into the details of the conversations. I had with Sue.

482
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we put forth

483
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: a package that, to my understanding, people in my building

484
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: and the department were satisfied with so to the extent

485
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: that there were any concerns about how we represented what

486
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: we knew about the informant and his potential, how he

487
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: came involved in acquiring this information, and what his background

488
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: might might say about his involvement in that collection. I

489
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 1: think everyone was satisfied that we had represented that accurately

490
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: and adequately in the package. The court was obviously satisfied

491
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: they signed it. But three or four times I thought

492
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: there there was one. Right, there were three renewals, including

493
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: by Rod the last one, and three renewals, one of

494
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: which I signed. It took place after the director had

495
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: been fired. Uh, Miss, it's almost a joke listening to

496
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: McCabe in retrospect. Why did he actually say that, because

497
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: the report today, what's what was ut March was the

498
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: report today shows, Yeah, the dirty dossier they wouldn't have gotten,

499
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have gotten defies a warrant without the dirty dossier.

500
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, the application was almost entirely based on an

501
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: unverifiable document, almost entirely, and that yeah, Christopher Steele. Without

502
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: the dossier, they wouldn't have even pursued it. Now we

503
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: know that the Clinton bought and paid for unverifiable Russian

504
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: dirty dossier? Was it just by on carter page? Deny

505
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: him his institutional rights? By the way, now we know

506
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: also Manaphort and Papadopoulos, and wow, they went after General Flynn.

507
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,240
Speaker 1: That's how we treat thirty three year veterans in this country.

508
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 1: This is an excoriating beatdown of how corrupt this whole

509
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,439
Speaker 1: thing was and what an abuse of power, and it's

510
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, and forget about whatever. Harowitz doesn't have the

511
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: ability he's referred people left and right and all over

512
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: the place. Nothing happens when Durham comes out as he

513
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: does today and says the things he's been saying today.

514
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: Now we're like, okay, this is our investigation, He goes on,

515
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: has included developing information from other persons and entities both

516
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: in the US and outside the US, Italy, Great Britain, Australia,

517
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: and based on the evidence collected to date, and our

518
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: investigation is ongoing. He invites the Inspector Generman. We don't

519
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,839
Speaker 1: agree with some of the report conclusions, interpretation, yeah, we've

520
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: got we've got a lot more than you do. Yeah,

521
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: because we're because we're not limited in our purview. You know,

522
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: you also say the Steel dossier provided you know, probable cause. No,

523
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: that every every indication was it was unverifiable. Even the

524
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: interview that he gave. We all know in the interrogatory

525
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 1: what he said. But now we know in the interview

526
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: he said, yeah, one source, and the guy was an

527
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: egomaniac who was known to make up crap. So that's

528
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: that's where we are here. And the Inspector General finding

529
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: himself seventeen significant errors. We've identified least seventeen significant errors

530
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: or missions in the FISA applications and additional errors and

531
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: wood procedures. It goes on to say, in great detail,

532
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: under the so called too Hop rule, investigations investigators could

533
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: collect the communication of every person that Page interacted with.

534
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: Why is that important? Because the reason they had to

535
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: alter the documents that actually showed that Carter Page was

536
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: a patriot. Carter Page worked with a three letter agency.

537
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 1: The three letter agency warned them all that, yeah, no,

538
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 1: he's good, and then they changed it to make it

539
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: sound just the opposite. Why Because once you got to

540
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: Carter page. Then you got into the Trump campaign, transition team,

541
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: and presidency. That's why. That's how bad this is for them.

542
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: And to have the Attorney General of the United States

543
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: now weighing in as strongly as he has weighed and saying, yeah,

544
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: this is bad, and Durham saying it is bad, Jim

545
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: Jordan rightly pointing out we thought they spied on two Americans.

546
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: Now we know it was four. We know within one

547
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: week of the investigations opening, the FBI was surveiling the

548
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: campaign and four specific individuals. Do you realize how thin

549
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: it is. It is so thin that it's based on

550
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: one thing we're learning today, just one, and that is

551
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: George Popinopolis is what he said at a party. That's thin.

552
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: The Attorney General rejecting all of this in a lengthy statement,

553
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, saying this is how intrusive this all is,

554
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: and him going really really deep into this never should

555
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: have happened under the thinnest of suspicions, he goes in

556
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: launched on the thinnest of suspicions. The Inspector General's report

557
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: now makes clear the FBI launched the investigation the US

558
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: presidential campaign on the sinnest, the thinnest of suspicions, in

559
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: my view, insufficient to justify. And they knew that they knew,

560
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: and the overwhelming bulk of evidence was what it was,

561
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: the dirty Clinton bought and paid for dossier, just as

562
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: we have reported and told you. And what was the

563
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 1: what was the point of this. They couldn't have gotten

564
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: to warrant with out the dirty dossier. That's unverifiable. That

565
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: go to page one twenty six. The fiser request for

566
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:12,319
Speaker 1: him drew almost entirely from the dirty dossiers, and then

567
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: three little other things. That's it. It was the bulk

568
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: of information was this. The grassly Graham new Nest memos

569
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: were correct. Dorham blasting this rightly, so bar blasting this

570
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: also and saying that you know, the report insufficient basis

571
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: to do any of this. And it's clear from its

572
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 1: inception the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless,

573
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: the investigation and surveillance were was pushed forward for the

574
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: duration of the campaign into deep into the president's administration.

575
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: Now we know if you go back, and we'll get

576
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 1: to this later. The statements of Bar from that speech

577
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: that he gave. Oh now, it's beginning to take on

578
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: great your meaning than ever before. We'll play that. We

579
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: know numerous errors, serious performance failures, relied on the discredited,

580
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: unverifiable work of the Steel dossier. Comey, even Comi's confessing

581
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 1: at his interview. Yeah, yeah, No, this wasn't ripe enough

582
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: the Steel dossier or mature enough to be complete. Now, well,

583
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: why did you sign it three times? That's a problem

584
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah. Finally Director Ray says something. Oh, he

585
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: promises reforms. He's saying that now because he knows it's

586
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: trouble in terms of this. I'm gonna tell you right now,

587
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a push to get rid of Fays anyway.

588
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: Two people that have been right with us all along.

589
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: Investigative reporter John Solomon vindicated today. Greg Jarrett vindicated today,

590
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and this is only the beginning of the vindication. Thank

591
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: you both for your great work. We were right the

592
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: whole time. We were all right the whole time. The

593
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: mob in the media did nothing. Anyway, John Solomon, your take,

594
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep you guys for the hour, so

595
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: we have plenty of time. It is just stunning the

596
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: level of misinformation and erroneous information and disprove an information

597
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 1: that the FBI allowed to persist with the FI succord.

598
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,439
Speaker 1: They fleeced the FI support, the FBI, using its most

599
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: awesome spy powers, fleece the FI Succord, and so doing,

600
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: they fleece the American public, and they violated the civilebrities

601
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: of the four men who were targeted by this investigation.

602
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: It is just when you look at these seventeen failures,

603
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: these seventeen misinformations, these seventeen omissions, they are so glaring

604
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: as to almost appear intentional. And I think that at

605
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the idea that this was

606
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: just simply a case of incompetent cops really really pales

607
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 1: when you start to read the facts, that the knowing

608
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: and willful decisions not to provide information up the chain,

609
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: the changing of a document that head carter Page's relationship

610
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: with the US intelligence agents to say that he didn't

611
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,280
Speaker 1: have it, when in fact that it said just the opposite.

612
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: That's right, I mean, And the core thing, the only

613
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: thing that would justify a fist against carter Page was

614
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: that he had met with these two guys in Russia,

615
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: the two egres, I call him the FBI knew that

616
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: wasn't true. It allowed that to persist for a year

617
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,359
Speaker 1: and allowed the court to keep extending these warrants. And

618
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 1: in January twenty seventeen, the FBI interviewed Christopher Steel subs

619
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: or something I told you many months ago that subsource

620
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: disowned the information attributed to him in the dossier. We

621
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: could have saved two years of the Mueller investigation if

622
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: the FBI had just come clean about that. It is

623
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: tragic to civielebrities, is tragic to the American desire for

624
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 1: truth that these FBI agents and officials allowed this farcet

625
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 1: to go on for two years. Greg Jarrett, your takeaway

626
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: from this, I guess your two books have been vindicated

627
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 1: as well, because everything you reported is true. Yes, you know.

628
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: In my books, I go through all of the misrepresentations

629
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: that were made by the FBI and the Department of

630
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: Justice to spy on the Trump campaign. Never told that

631
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: Clinton's campaign had paid for the phony dossier, not told

632
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: that Steele had leaked and lied. Instead, they vouched that

633
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: he was credible, you know, not told that the FBI's

634
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: evidence was unverified, and it clearly was worse than that.

635
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: Though unverifiable and by the way, from page one twenty

636
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: six the Fiser request form, which says at the top

637
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: verified drew almost entirely from the dirty Clinton bought and

638
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: paid for Russian Steele dossier. Oh sure, and and they

639
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: were not told of exculpatory evidence. That's really where Baron

640
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: Durham come in. You know what's revealing about the report

641
00:42:54,760 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 1: today is Bill Barr's damning assessment of it. Miscontas, misfeasons,

642
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: clear abuse of FAISA process. What's baffling is how the

643
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: IG seems to have blindly accepted the stories. Sorry my apologies, okay,

644
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: should have turned it off. They even said it was

645
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: he accepted all these stories by people like Comey and

646
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: McCabe and Baker, not to mention Chris Steele himself, you know.

647
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: But Orwitz offers the following vacuous excuse, it's not my role,

648
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 1: the second guest discretionary judgment. You know all Americas that

649
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: was so weakly trouble well it is, I mean, but

650
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it's so egregious. I mean, when you

651
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 1: see that the the Durham and bar came out as

652
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: strongly as they did, it's sort of like this is

653
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: the appetizer. John. Now, we've got a lot of the

654
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: facts outlined here, everything corroborated that we believe to be true.

655
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: But you know, an inspector general, he's already referred call

656
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: me Page Rock McCabe for he's already referred to us.

657
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really matter what his assumption is here.

658
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: But what I think Durham is saying, oh god, we've

659
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: got it all. We've got this buttoned up so tight.

660
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: You have no idea because you can't do what we've

661
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: been doing. On top of what you did, keep in mind,

662
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: he also today revealed that he caught an FBI agent intentionally,

663
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: willfully doctoring a document to keep the fist of scam going.

664
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: That is one of the most serious criminal violations I've

665
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 1: ever seen come out of an IG report. So he

666
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: has provided some new evidence of criminality. But at the

667
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: end of the day, Klin Smith, right, Yeah, the lawyer

668
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: who who doctors played what he did because he actually

669
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: this was on carter Page in particular, Yeah, and not

670
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: a relationship with the CIA that wasn't being divulged. And

671
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: if the if the FISI court knew that carter Page

672
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: was trusted by the CIA, they might have had some

673
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: serious reservations about spying on them or you know what,

674
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,800
Speaker 1: I forgot to say. And also they never told anybody

675
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: that Hillary paid for it. That's right. And here's another one.

676
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: When the assessment it came out in December, the rushed

677
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: Obama assessment that Russia, you know, tried to infiltrate our camp,

678
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: our election and tried to influence our election. The CIA

679
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: specifically told the FBI, don't use the Steele dossier. What

680
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: did McCabe and Comey do? They used it as part

681
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: of the assessment, which means that assessment is flawed. It

682
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: really if if devices are flawed, the intelligence assessment that

683
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: relied on the dossier it now needs to be revisited

684
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: for the failures that Steele brought to this table. But

685
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 1: the fact that the CIA was objecting to steal dossier

686
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: tells you something big about just how bad and how

687
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: little a secret the FBI's misconduct was in the r community.

688
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: John Solomon, Greg Jarrett vindicated both as well as this program.

689
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: Everything we told you was true. And now we have

690
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 1: the attorney general and prosecutor adoram, Wow, this is going

691
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 1: to blow up into something massive. I can tell you

692
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: right now. There's no way they would say these things

693
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: if that was not true. And as we continue Sean

694
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: Hannay Show, John Solomon, investigator reporter Greg Jarrett, legal analysts

695
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: for Fox, also two best sellers. As a result of

696
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: all of this, everything we've told you is dead on accurate. John,

697
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: you actually go through the list of seventeen things. One

698
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 1: of the top takeaways you get Greg, before we'll go

699
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:25,239
Speaker 1: through the seventeen that the Inspector General identified serious omissions

700
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: and accuracies, failures, etc. What stands out the most to you, Greg,

701
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: that the FBI knew that Carter Page was not a spy.

702
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: You'll recall in the first fi so were in application,

703
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 1: they absolutely declare that Carter Pages a spie. They knew

704
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't because they knew he had assisted the US

705
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 1: government in previous cases against Russian spies. And you know

706
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: they also knew that Carter Pages sent a letter to

707
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: James Comey saying, Hey, I'm getting badgered by reporters You're on.

708
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: Happy to sit down and talk to you about my

709
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: recent trip to Russia. And instead of doing that, Comey

710
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: decided to go to a FISU court lie to them

711
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: and spy on Carter Page and ruining his life. You know,

712
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 1: it's amazing because Carter Page. We figured him out over time.

713
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: He was very reluctant to give me the information that

714
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: you're saying here. He did not want to. I said,

715
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: I had to figure out. So basically you worked, you

716
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: work for our government. Well, let's just say I yeah,

717
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: I kind of did. And I was like pulling teeth

718
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: and I was warned, don't trust Carter Page. I'm like, really,

719
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: because I was asking them all the hard questions. Greg, No,

720
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: I mean I dug up the court documents and put

721
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: it in my book about how he had assisted in

722
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: the prosecution of Russians who were trolling you know, Americans

723
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: for espionage purposes. Stay right there. When we come back,

724
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: we'll go through the seventeen massive failures. Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, more,

725
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,879
Speaker 1: Greg and John and What a Hannity Tonight at Night.

726
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they

727
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 1: called the resistance, and they rallied around an explicit strategy

728
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning

729
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: of the executive branch and his administration. Now, resistance is

730
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 1: the language used to describe insurgency against rule imposed by

731
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: an occupying military power. This is a very dangerous and

732
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: indeed incendiary notion to import into the politics of a

733
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: democratic republic. The fact of the matter is that in

734
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: waging a scorched earth, no holds barred war of resistance

735
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: against this administration, it is the left that is engaged

736
00:48:55,920 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 1: in the systematic shredding of norms and undermining the rule

737
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: of law. Remember that from the speech given recently by

738
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: the Attorney General Bill Barr today, Bar saying the FBI

739
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: had insufficient basis to justify the steps they had taken

740
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: into the investigation of the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen,

741
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: and he said it's also clear from its inception the

742
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the

743
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: investigation the surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of

744
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: the campaign and deep into into President Trump's administration. He

745
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: also said FBI officials misled the fis A court, omitted

746
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: critically exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored

747
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: information to gaining the reliability of their principal source in

748
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:55,439
Speaker 1: a rush to maintain surveillance warrants on members of the

749
00:49:55,480 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: Trump campaign, followed up by the criminal investigation. At this point,

750
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 1: the US Attorney Durham John Durham, and we, by the way,

751
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: who unlike Harrowitz, has the ability to convene grand juries

752
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 1: and go forward with yes charging individuals based on the

753
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: evidence collected to date. While our investigation is ongoing, we

754
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: advise the Inspector General that we don't agree with some

755
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: of his reports conclusions as to prediction predictions on how

756
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: the FBI case was open. He said, the utmost respect,

757
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: our investigation is not limited to like what's he's saying

758
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: is Harwitz's limitations to developing information from with incomponent parts

759
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information

760
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: from other persons and entities, both in the US and

761
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: outside the US. Now this is very key because these

762
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 1: these are fiercely strong comments made by the Attorney General

763
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: and by the US Attorney Durham, But in this way

764
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: they were said about me. I'd have a lot to

765
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: be worried about today, and what they are, what they

766
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: are telegraphing here is very plain for anyone to see,

767
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: because what do we learned today? We learned everything we

768
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: told you is true, Yep, that the Boughton paid for

769
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: unverifiable Clinton Russian dossier that that was defies The application

770
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: was almost entirely based on it. A matter of fact

771
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: that actually that only was three other things. The only

772
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: additional information is on page one twenty six and seven,

773
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: a statement that Paige was a senior foreign policy advisor

774
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 1: for the Trump campaign and extensive ties to various state

775
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: owned or affiliated entities of the Russian Federation. Yeah, he

776
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 1: was working for the CIA. And then yeah, when the

777
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: CIA said no, this guy's credible for our side, Yeah,

778
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: they changed it. They literally altered the document on purpose. Wow. Two.

779
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: The only other thing besides the dirty Clinton Boughton paid

780
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: for Russian dossier by Steel that is unverifiable because he

781
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: even he told them, yeah, now this guy's nutz. He's

782
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: an egomaniac and known to make things up. And that

783
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: was my only source. Wow. And the only other two

784
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: things were Papadopolos's statement, which, by the way, also they

785
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: took out the exculpatory information there in three open sources articles. Yeah,

786
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:30,240
Speaker 1: but that was leaked on purpose from the Steel dirty dossier.

787
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: The rest of it was all the Boughton paid for

788
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: unverifiable because it's not true. Now proven ninety percent of

789
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: it not true because they can't prove one hundred percent

790
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: yet and that was used for the whole time. And

791
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:51,479
Speaker 1: this is the this stinks too high heaven. In fact,

792
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: if this had ever gone on, if it was Obama

793
00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: or Hillary, Wow, and then you got this, this witch

794
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 1: hunt continuing all day to day. No fact witnesses. Again,

795
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: here's say witnesses, obnue witnesses. Let's stay focused on this

796
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: with John Solomon, investigative reporter, vindicated in a massive way

797
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: today is his reporting as well as Greg Jarrett's reporting.

798
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: Let's go through the list both of you, of the

799
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: seventeen failures that were identified in this report. Now it's

800
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: his own words. John will start with you on number one.

801
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 1: Omitted information. Yeah, they omitted the fact that carter Page

802
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: was considered a friendly to the US government working with

803
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: the intelligence community and a Russia capacity unrelated to the

804
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: Trump campaign, and to facilitate or to sustain that lie,

805
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: they ultimately falsified documents to try to keep that omission

806
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: from the court. Just remarkable. If the court knew that

807
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: carter Page was considered a friendly useful to the United

808
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: States government, might they have proceeded with US. I bet not.

809
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, they until the court Hillary

810
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: paid for it. I think that might have made a difference.

811
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: They didn't tell the court it was unverified. That would

812
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: have made a difference. They acted like this is gospel truth,

813
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 1: Greg Jared. Number two is the source characterization statement asserting

814
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: steals prior to reporting had been corroborated and used in

815
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: criminal proceedings. That wasn't true, was it? No, it wasn't

816
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: true at all. And they knew that Steele was dodgy

817
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 1: and that his information was not just dubious but likely

818
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,440
Speaker 1: phony because they've been warned by people at the Department

819
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: of Justice, Bruce or they'd been warned by Kathleen Cavallac

820
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: at the State Department, don't trust this guy. You got

821
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: to vet his information. They didn't vet it. They didn't

822
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: corroborate it. It was unverified. And as you know, when

823
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: you submit an FBI warrant to surveil to affy support

824
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: the regulation specifically state and I'll vote only document, documented

825
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: and verified information may be used in support of a

826
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,760
Speaker 1: FISA application. End of quote. They didn't do it. Let's

827
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,720
Speaker 1: go to the omitted information. John Solomon. Again, we're laying

828
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:24,280
Speaker 1: out seventeen unbelievable failures, spectacular failures and omissions and inaccuracies.

829
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 1: But the omitted information relevant to person one what we

830
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: believe to be Carter Page. I think, oh no, I'm sorry, no, no, no.

831
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 1: The steel, the one source of steel they omitted that

832
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: this guy and Steele had even told them. That's right,

833
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 1: that this guy lies and yeah, he doesn't tell the truth.

834
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: Here's here's the amazing thing about the single subsource that

835
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: made up most of Steel's report. The subsource tells the

836
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: FBI in January seventeen, I didn't say a lot of

837
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 1: the stuff that's attributed to me, and Steele tells the

838
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 1: FBI this guy's abloviator. And yet based on those two

839
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: really bad references, they go ahead and use Dosser and

840
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 1: its information. Anyways, it is the most clear evidence of intention.

841
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: Knowing that those two things were that bigger problem and

842
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: still proceeding with the application tells you these guys were

843
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 1: in it for something other than the normal process of

844
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 1: the FBI follows. It's really really egregious. And another key finding,

845
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: Greg Jared is the circular reporting and that the FBI

846
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: had assessed Steal did not directly provide the information to Yahoo.

847
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,280
Speaker 1: I assume as a coffin corn based on the premise

848
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 1: that Steele had told the FBI only shared it with

849
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:40,239
Speaker 1: Fusion GPS and the FBI and his client. But they

850
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: cite the Isikoff Yahoo News article as being a secondary

851
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 1: corroborating source, when in fact it came from the original source,

852
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele. And the FBI pretends to the Fisichord that

853
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: Steele didn't provide that information when they knew he did.

854
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: You know, another lie to the FISA courting And that

855
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: is clearly intentional. This isn't sloppy, reckless errors and omissions. Now,

856
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: these are deliberate lies and deceptions and concealing of information

857
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: to the court. And when they talked John important that

858
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: Greg has it so right, Sean. But here's one thing.

859
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: In the bottom of that Note four, it says that

860
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 1: when the FBI told the court that Steele had only

861
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: talked to the FBI Infusion GPS about about the dossier,

862
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 1: the FBI already knew he had talked to the State

863
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: Department that famous Kathleen Cavlac. That amounts to a false

864
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 1: statement before federal court. So true. And look in the

865
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: case about Papadopoulos and Page, and these were their consentsually

866
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: monitored statements to the FBI, one in September, one in August,

867
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 1: and Page's case, they literally omit these very exculpatory pieces

868
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: of information. Yeah, no doubt, five six and seven significant

869
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: omissions statements made of innocence to unwitting to undercover informance

870
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 1: in the FBI repeatedly withhold them from the DOCI. That's

871
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: what makes this go beyond just incompetence. Those are conscious

872
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: decisions not to put evidence of innocence into to inform

873
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: the court into the vice application. I think it's among

874
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: the most serious stuff that was found by the IG. Agree,

875
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: because if the federal law has been consistent for decades,

876
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: if you have exculpatory of information, you must run to

877
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 1: the nearest judge and tell him that they didn't do it,

878
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: and they knew it very early in the process. What

879
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 1: about let's go back to the subsource for just a second,

880
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: which they admitted. You know, they're saying that the FBI

881
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: found credible the subsource that even Steele said to them

882
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: was a liar in an egomaniac that he'd made statements

883
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: in January twenty seventeen that raised questions about the reliability

884
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: of allegations that were in the applications, and including, for example,

885
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: that they had no discussion with individuals concerning wiki leagues,

886
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: where there was nothing bad about the communication between the

887
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:17,560
Speaker 1: Kremlin and the Trump team. Yeah, I would think that's important,

888
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: John Solomon, Oh, yeah. In fact, it constitutes what is

889
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: known as derogatory information under the FBI's confidential human source information.

890
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: When you interview an informant subsource and that subsource doesn't

891
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: stand by what the informant is saying he reported, that's

892
00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: known as derogatory information. And they had so much derogatory

893
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 1: information on Steal, not just what he not the fact

894
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: that his subsource disowned him, but also the fact that

895
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: he had been talking to Steal a State department. The

896
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 1: State department flag that he was giving them bad information.

897
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: Remember that famous story that he claimed that the Miami

898
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: consulate was coordinating the hacking activities. There was no Miami

899
00:59:54,920 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 1: consulate for the Russian government. There is enormous evidence the

900
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: FBI had derogatory information about Steel, and yet they certified

901
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: in four consecutive vice applications were unaware of any derogatory

902
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: information about this source. That is a lot. All right,

903
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 1: let me ask you boldness because I want to let

904
01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: me jump forward. Because Number one, I would say there

905
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 1: are a lot of people in deep trouble here, not

906
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: the least as the liar and leaker Jim Comey. Based

907
01:00:22,720 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: on the statements of both Barr and Durham today, Greg Jarrett,

908
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: where do you see this now? Headed Well, I think

909
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Durham has obtained either leads or solid information of corruption

910
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 1: and lawlessness and will pursue it against those individuals. We

911
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: just don't know who they are. I find it interesting.

912
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: I have candidates. Would it likely be Coomey, Clapper, Brennan

913
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 1: and company. Those would be the logical candidates. But we

914
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: can't say for sure because we just don't know what

915
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,440
Speaker 1: Durham has. But he seems very confident that he has it.

916
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Where do you see it going, John Listen? I think

917
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,560
Speaker 1: the very next step is what does the Justice Department

918
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 1: do to the FI support. Does it go to the

919
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 1: FI succort and light of these revelations and say we

920
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: need to withdraw these vice applications, we need to come

921
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: clean with you court. That would be a momentous first

922
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: step in trying to create accountability and clean up this process.

923
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: Then there's a grand jury and Durham has the ability

924
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: to go bring people before it and get things that

925
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,720
Speaker 1: the IG couldn't get. Then there's the hearing with Senator

926
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Grassley excuse me, Senator Graham. Are part of a step.

927
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: This is a long sprint, and accountability is going to

928
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 1: occur over multiple steps, over multiple months. But the first

929
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: thing to watch for, does the Justice Department do something

930
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: with the FI succort over the next few days. Well,

931
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 1: I think they have to. I mean, we just played

932
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: Rob Rosenstein earlier. I mean he says that if you

933
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: find out you got something wrong, you to go back

934
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 1: and fix it. And by the way, that's another issue

935
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: that really wasn't addressed, that they had an obligation when

936
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: they knew this information. They presented to the court the

937
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: dirty dossier, the bulk of the applications four times, withholding

938
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: exculpatory information that the court withholding information about Hillary's involvement

939
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: only one source. I mean, they've known this all forever

940
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: and they never went back to fix it. All right,

941
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: wrapping up as we conclude vindication, John Solomon, Greg Jarrett,

942
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: all Right, So I think it's Look, it's a long report,

943
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: it's a lot to digest. We're going to really try

944
01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: and sum it up on Hannity tonight. Both of you

945
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:38,439
Speaker 1: will be joining us. If this doesn't if we don't

946
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of this, Greg Jarrett, and we

947
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: don't hold these people accountable for this abuse of power,

948
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: we're in trouble. I think, real quick, it'll continue to happen.

949
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: We learn from this report how easy it is for

950
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 1: the FBI to open an investigation of anybody and convince

951
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: a judge to permit court sanctions. Alience and deception was

952
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: the key. It's all true, John, Yeah, I think Greg

953
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: said it perfectly. I think there are two other revelations

954
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: in his report that are going to sink in in

955
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,360
Speaker 1: a few days. One of them is about Bruce Or

956
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: it's the report concludes that he showed an exorbitantly bad

957
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 1: judgment in allowing becoming a conduit and a witness and

958
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: allowing Christopher Steele to keep communicating to the FBI after

959
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: he'd been fired. I think there's more to that thread

960
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 1: that we ought to be paying attention to. And then

961
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:29,760
Speaker 1: here's the one that no one picked up on yet

962
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,000
Speaker 1: that I think is so important. The FBI sent an agent,

963
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I got a role a lot more tonight, Meadows and

964
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Jordan next, stay right here for our final news round

965
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: up and information overload. So what is your view of

966
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: the way that the FBI interacted with Steele and how

967
01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 1: we should understand what his role was here? Lots of

968
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:58,400
Speaker 1: a big questions. So, look, the investigation was not predicated

969
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: on the basis of the information the Christopher Steel gave

970
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: to us in the form of the dossier. That is

971
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: just not was not my understanding at the time and

972
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: has never been my understanding. So just to say that

973
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: flat out Steel at the time, my understanding was that

974
01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: he was thought to be a reliable source that had

975
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: had a prior relationship with the FBI and brought this

976
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:24,600
Speaker 1: information to us. Look with I don't know how to

977
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: say this other we're not stupid, right the FBI, We're

978
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 1: not stupid. You take the information and you try to

979
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: vet it, and that my recollection is we spent a

980
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: lot we the Bureau, the folks in the Counterintelligence Division,

981
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,800
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time trying to vet that information

982
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 1: line by line. Uh. Yeah, they didn't do that because

983
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: it was unverifiable. I mean, this is the This is

984
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing because we now know everything we've

985
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: been telling you is true. That was Baker saying that

986
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: whenever he said it, line by a line, we went.

987
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: But no, when the FBI finally got around to vetting

988
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: it long after the fact, we know that none of

989
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: it was verifiable. And now we also know that Steele

990
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 1: told them it was unverifiable. Pretty unbelievable. What we know that. Okay,

991
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: So the bulk of information, as the new Ness report

992
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 1: told us, and as the Grassly Graham memo told us, Yeah,

993
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 1: that would have been the Steel dossier, the unverified Clinton

994
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier. They wouldn't have

995
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: gotten the Fizer tip the balance, it said. What were

996
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 1: they saying? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that was what tipped

997
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: the balance in all of this? What kind of pushed

998
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: it over the line in terms of the FBI being

999
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: ready to use this? And I'll tell you another thing

1000
01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 1: that nobody's really paying attention to here is I want

1001
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 1: to know the calls by Brennan to Russia in August

1002
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: and September or twenty sixteen given them a heads up,

1003
01:05:57,680 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: according to a a report, and the Obama call to Russia

1004
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: giving them a heads up, but no defense defensive briefing

1005
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: with the drum campaign. Why wouldn't they ask the American

1006
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 1: citizen first and say, because I'm sure Trump would have said,

1007
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: oh wow, we got to get to the bottom of that.

1008
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 1: They never gave him that chance. And you know, then

1009
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: we know that we have page and Papadopolis. Yeah, alterations

1010
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 1: left and right. Unbelievable anyway, somebody who's been critical in

1011
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 1: getting all of this information out. Frankly, I don't know

1012
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: where we'd be, as I say many many times, without

1013
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus. And I guess you were the original

1014
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: president of the Freedom Caucus. Is that true? Well? Uh, Sean, Actually,

1015
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan was the original chairman. He and I founded it.

1016
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 1: I was the second chairman, and then we went on

1017
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: to actually pass the baton to Andy Biggs. No, all right,

1018
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: let's get your take the bulk of information. There are

1019
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: only three minor other items used in the FISA application.

1020
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: The rest of it was what we now know to

1021
01:07:05,800 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: be an unverifiable Russian dossier that Hillary paid for that

1022
01:07:10,920 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: even when they checked in with Christopher Stile, that Christopher

1023
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: Steele knew was phony too. He said, yeah, my one

1024
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: source was nuts an egomaniac and didn't often tell the

1025
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:25,600
Speaker 1: truth right. And and and here's a bigger problem. It's

1026
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: not that it was just unverifiable, it's just it was

1027
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: verifiably wrong and a lie. I mean, when when we

1028
01:07:33,560 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 1: look at this, Sean, everything that you've been saying and

1029
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: reporting on for many many months year, you know, over

1030
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 1: a year. Now we know now based on the IGS report,

1031
01:07:45,320 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: that that indeed you were accurate. The FBI, James Baker,

1032
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: you just played that little tape. Maybe he wasn't stupid,

1033
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: but he certainly was looking the other way. And I've found, uh,

1034
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: eating through this report. As you know, I've gone through

1035
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: a couple of hours briefing. We've been going through this report,

1036
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: combing it through with a fine tooth comb. One of

1037
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: the biggest things that is not being widely reported yet

1038
01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: is when the FBI came in to do a defensive

1039
01:08:17,479 --> 01:08:22,639
Speaker 1: briefing with candidate Donald Trump and candidate Hillary Clinton. They

1040
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: did two defensive briefings. They were supposed to be exactly alike,

1041
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 1: except the FBI proved put in an informant in the

1042
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:35,799
Speaker 1: defensive briefing while they were supposed to be helping candidate

1043
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump they were actually surveying him, and that goes

1044
01:08:40,400 --> 01:08:44,200
Speaker 1: along with twelve other times that they actually secretly recorded

1045
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: Trump campaign officials. I just find it appalling. The American

1046
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: people should be up in arms. I know you and

1047
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: I are, well, we will right all along, you will

1048
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:57,120
Speaker 1: right all along. Jim Jordan was right all along, John Solomon,

1049
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: Greg Jared, you know, Victoria, Joe go go on the list.

1050
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: You know, Jim actually pointed out today, Oh, we only

1051
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: thought that they spied on two Americans. Now we know

1052
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,519
Speaker 1: it was four. Yeah, it was four, multiple times. And

1053
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 1: one of one of the people that they spied on

1054
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: was not even a subject or a target of the investigation.

1055
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: So what that means for your your listeners is is

1056
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: that they actually spied on a Trump campaign associate that

1057
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: was not even under suspicion for this investigation. And I

1058
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:37,840
Speaker 1: guess I have to ask for what reason? Hmm, Well,

1059
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: let's go to what the prosecutor, John Durham has said.

1060
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 1: Let's go This is fascinating to me because you have

1061
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: the Attorney General bar saying that this, you know, this

1062
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: investigation launched on the thinnest of suspicions. We now know

1063
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:56,600
Speaker 1: all it was was one comment at a party or

1064
01:09:56,640 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: a bar by George Popanopolis, that was it. That bar

1065
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: also said that the report, you know, the FBI had

1066
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: insufficient basis to justify the steps they took in investigating

1067
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen, and that concluding that

1068
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 1: the report the Bureau had authorized purpose. But it's also

1069
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 1: clear from its inception the evidence produced by the investigation

1070
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 1: was consistently exculpatory, and nonetheless, the investigation and surveillance was

1071
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep

1072
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 1: into Trump's administration. Now we also know that it's an

1073
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: unverifiable document. But yet if you go to page one

1074
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: twenty six and one twenty seven, what do we see.

1075
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: We say that the bulk of information, I'll read it,

1076
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: the Fiser request form drew almost entirely from Steals reporting

1077
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: in describing the factual basis to establish probable cause to

1078
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: believe that Page was an agent of a foreign power,

1079
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 1: and on top of that, to get there, to get

1080
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: to Carter Page, then they actually had to change the

1081
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: fact that he is working with the CIA and good

1082
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: standing apparently, well yes, And so now what we do

1083
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: know is that one of the documents that has changed

1084
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: they actually go in to review that and they get

1085
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,719
Speaker 1: a confirmation back that says, yeah, Page has been helping

1086
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: out the US government, and the FBI changes that document

1087
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 1: and then does not allow defies a court to know

1088
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,759
Speaker 1: any of that. So, you know, here's here's the troubling part, Sean.

1089
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 1: As we start to dig into this, the deep you dig,

1090
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 1: the more difficult it is to comprehend how anyone could

1091
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 1: let this happen. How could James Comy allow this to happen?

1092
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: How could Andrew McCabe allow this to happen on their watch?

1093
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 1: And all you can say is they were either extremely

1094
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: poor supervisors yet they were getting briefed every week on

1095
01:11:54,600 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: this investigation, or they were complicit and allowing it to continue. Durham,

1096
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 1: you're you're right, has mentioned a couple of things. He

1097
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: is going beyond where the Inspector General is going. Where

1098
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: he's looking at the origins of that doesn't include other

1099
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: Intel agencies. Were they involved? Uh? What was the predicate

1100
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,680
Speaker 1: for opening all of this up? And and I can

1101
01:12:19,840 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 1: I can tell you that some of our worst fears

1102
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:27,799
Speaker 1: have come really to fruition as we look at this report,

1103
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: the deeper we dive into it, the more uh scathing

1104
01:12:34,479 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: the review is. I think Director Ray has said there's

1105
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: going to be forty different things that he is going

1106
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: to put into place to try to make sure this

1107
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:49,640
Speaker 1: doesn't happen again. Forty four zero. Uh. You know, why

1108
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 1: is he so quiet? You know, I think he got

1109
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: in and originally he was being told by some in

1110
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: that small inner circle, oh, we didn't do anything wrong.

1111
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, as this report started to

1112
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 1: pick up steam, and as his review, along with Attorney

1113
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: General Bars started to take on hold, I think they

1114
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: realized that not only did they have a problem, but

1115
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: they had a systemic problem that had to be addressed.

1116
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:21,360
Speaker 1: But for a long time I was questioning where whether

1117
01:13:21,439 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Director Ray was going to address it or cover it up.

1118
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully today as the start of actually addressing it. Do

1119
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,800
Speaker 1: you believe at the end of the day that this

1120
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 1: was just because they hated Donald Trump and this was

1121
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:37,480
Speaker 1: the insurance policy? Well, I think this was the insurance

1122
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,400
Speaker 1: policy that they referred to as part of it to

1123
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: try to make sure that this investigation. But here's what

1124
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: you're also going to find, and here's what you and

1125
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: I and a number of us need to make sure

1126
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 1: the American people are reminded of before President Trump was

1127
01:13:54,640 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 1: actually inaugurated in January of twenty seventeen, the f I

1128
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: knew they had no case. They didn't tell President elect

1129
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 1: Trump they had no case. They continued to investigate from

1130
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:12,680
Speaker 1: January through May. Then they get a special prosecutor. They

1131
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 1: spend thirty million dollars, all of this based on the

1132
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: fact that they knew they had no case, and they

1133
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:23,120
Speaker 1: continued to, you know, just place a hoax on the

1134
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 1: American people. And I find that not only a waste

1135
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: of taxpayer of money, but it is really a breach

1136
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 1: of trust between the FBI and the American people. The

1137
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:39,759
Speaker 1: idea that one source that was questionable. Look, Christopher Steele

1138
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 1: didn't stand by his own dossier. You know, they lied.

1139
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: They literally had to alter a thing with Carter page right.

1140
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:51,920
Speaker 1: And I've got to be honest, I've never seen such

1141
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: a corrupt abuse of power. And to think that none

1142
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 1: of this should have happened. What do you make of

1143
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Durham saying are in investigation is not limited to developing

1144
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: information from within the component parts of the Justice Department,

1145
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 1: meaning we have the ability to go way beyond your

1146
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: little area. Our investigation has included developing information from other

1147
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: persons and entities, both in the US and outside the US.

1148
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: I take that to mean Great Britain, Italy, Australia. And

1149
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 1: then we get into the intel issues. Well, as I

1150
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 1: mentioned before, once again, Sean, you're over the target. You're

1151
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: exactly over the target, because that's what John Durham is

1152
01:15:32,560 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: looking at. We now know that this investigation was done

1153
01:15:38,040 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: just wholly within the FBI and didn't even go beyond

1154
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: some of the key witnesses. For example, the IGS report

1155
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: did not interview Lynn Simpson with Fusion GPS, and yet

1156
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: he would be a central key in the dossier and

1157
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 1: all the coordinating efforts, and yet they did not interview

1158
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: that because he declined to be interviewed. And if he

1159
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: declined to be interviewed, how does Coomy get to lie?

1160
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Think of the spectacular lies identified here. Now, remember he

1161
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: signed the first dossier, the first FISA warrant application. Then

1162
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 1: he goes to the White House, I'm sorry, goes to

1163
01:16:17,560 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Trump Tower in January before the president sworn end says

1164
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,600
Speaker 1: it's salatious but unverified. But yet at the top of

1165
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: the dossier it says verified. So that makes him a

1166
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: big liar because then he signed two more FISA applications

1167
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 1: with the bulk of information being the unverifiable steal dossier

1168
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 1: that Hillary bad for Russian dossier. Right, And that's where

1169
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: the problem is going to come in is James Komy

1170
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: either was an apt in his job or he was

1171
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: part of this whole FISA abuse, as you mentioned, a

1172
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 1: fraud on the f abuse court. Indeed it happened. Here's

1173
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: the interesting thing is the FBI was tasked with getting

1174
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 1: with getting the information. They were supposed to give the

1175
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 1: information were to the National Security Council, who would drive

1176
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:09,559
Speaker 1: draft up the by the application. Well, the National Security Council,

1177
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: they weren't even getting the information from the investigators. They were,

1178
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: you know, putting it in a closet or in a

1179
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: desk drawer instead of actually conveying it to the court.

1180
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 1: And this is what Andrew McCabe and James Comey were

1181
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: getting briefed every week on and somehow it slipped through

1182
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: not once, not twice, but three different times. It's just

1183
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: beyond comprehension. All right, Mark Meadows, we'd be lost without you.

1184
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: Great job. We appreciate all that you did here. You

1185
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 1: made a lot of this possible today blood sweat tiers. You,

1186
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: Devin Ratcliffe, Jordan Gates was great today. Everybody. Honestly, all

1187
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: the Freedom Caucus guys have been phenomenal. Well, thank you, Sean.

1188
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 1: I appreciate you leading the charge and keeping the American

1189
01:17:55,760 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: people informed. We couldn't have done it without you. Do

1190
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 1: you see that the super patriot Jim Comey, the liar Comy,

1191
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: is now well? He said, I offered to be on

1192
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: Fox and Friends, and Fox and Friends canceled me. Now, meanwhile,

1193
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: the people at Fox and Friends they just checked, is

1194
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: that we didn't have him booked on anything. What do

1195
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: you think should I invite him on this radio show

1196
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,720
Speaker 1: again for three hours? He hasn't taken us up on

1197
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 1: our offer, and I'll give him an hour on TV?

1198
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 1: Do you think he'll come? I mean this, and he's

1199
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,640
Speaker 1: an ingomaniac, so anything's possible. You think? Does he not know?

1200
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:30,120
Speaker 1: At this point? This is amazing to me because he

1201
01:18:30,160 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: went in January twenty seventeen, goes to the Trump Tower,

1202
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: says in the meeting to the president then president elect,

1203
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: the dossier silacious but unverified. Okay, but at the top

1204
01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:46,240
Speaker 1: of fies the application that he's signed in October and

1205
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,599
Speaker 1: the two of the three subsequent renewals it says verified.

1206
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 1: Now we have the report that says the bulk of

1207
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: information was the dirty bought and paid for Clinton Russian dossier.

1208
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 1: So he's using an unbeified and that was the bulk

1209
01:19:00,840 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: of information. How does he get out of that one?

1210
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: He just lies, right, He's very good at lying. He's

1211
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: perfected that because nobody ever questions. And when no one

1212
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:13,720
Speaker 1: questions you, no higher loyalty becomes a best seller. That's

1213
01:19:13,760 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 1: a good point. All right, Well, invite him. What the hell?

1214
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: Quick break right back, a lot more explaining Big Day,

1215
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 1: Big night to night on Hannity. You don't want to

1216
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 1: miss this ninetiest on the Fox News Channel. All right,

1217
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: twenty five till the top of the hour. Well, what

1218
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: did we tell you? We said, premeditated fraud on a

1219
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: FISA court and an operation Crossfire Hurricane. But you know

1220
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:36,120
Speaker 1: what's so amazing about that is this is not even

1221
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: really in the spectrum of where Harwitz does most of

1222
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:44,880
Speaker 1: his work. Here all of it has proven now and

1223
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:50,839
Speaker 1: as I look at the extraordinary statements that were released

1224
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 1: today by the Attorney General and by John Dorham, I

1225
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: mean it's almost unprecedented now for a lot of reasons,

1226
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: of which I went into a the first hour today.

1227
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 1: I won't go back into it now. Bar saying of

1228
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: this ig report, how the FBI launched an intrusive investigation

1229
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 1: of President Trump's campaign on the thinnest of suspicions and

1230
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 1: what did we say, premeditated fraud ondifies a court for

1231
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,759
Speaker 1: the purpose of backdooring, which is all confirmed in this report,

1232
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: spying or all things into Trump world, Trump campaign, then

1233
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: transition and then Trump presidency and all predicated. The whole

1234
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: thing gets launched over what Papadopolis says at a bar,

1235
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: that's it. That's how thin it was. But again we

1236
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: have Hillary Clinton and a dirty DOTSI nobody ever paid

1237
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,639
Speaker 1: attention to that. And when Barr is saying the thinnest

1238
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:54,559
Speaker 1: of suspicions, it was launched, saying that this report, in

1239
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: his opinion, the FBI had insufficient basis to justify the

1240
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: steps taken in the investigation of the Trump campaign, putting

1241
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: him at odds with Urwitz in some ways aspects more

1242
01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: especially about Operation Crossfire Hurricane that you know, it's clear

1243
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: from its inception the evidence produced by the investigation was

1244
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 1: consistently exculpatory. Think about that. That is huge. Yet the

1245
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 1: investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of

1246
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration. Now, when

1247
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 1: you have an Attorney General saying this on top of

1248
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,760
Speaker 1: his previously made comments and then John Duran's comments, he

1249
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: got to pay close attention to this because this is

1250
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 1: now what we'll learn. What we've learned here is everything

1251
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: we've reported as true. We've been right the whole time.

1252
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: But it's not one thing we can see here that

1253
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:48,559
Speaker 1: we got wrong, and that the you know, the FBI

1254
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: officials misled the FIZO court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from

1255
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: their filings, suppressed or ignored information, negating the reliability of

1256
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,719
Speaker 1: their princeable source in a rush to maintain surveillance warrants

1257
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,680
Speaker 1: on members of the Trump campaign, and while most of

1258
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,320
Speaker 1: them as conduct identified by the Inspector General was committed

1259
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,880
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen and seventeen, by this now by the

1260
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 1: now former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in

1261
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:25,680
Speaker 1: the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the

1262
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 1: FISA process. And this then gets to the comments of

1263
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: John Durham. I have the utmost respect for the office

1264
01:22:33,200 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into

1265
01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:40,320
Speaker 1: the report prepared by mister Horowitz and his staff. However,

1266
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:45,839
Speaker 1: I remember Inspector General has no ability because he's already

1267
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 1: made referrals for Komey, m McKay, ben Struck and paid.

1268
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 1: That's all's happened in his previous reports. I have the

1269
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 1: utmost respect for him. Now the real criminal investigation that

1270
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: is in the realm of Durham. Our investigation is not

1271
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: limited to developing information from within component parts of the

1272
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:08,680
Speaker 1: Justice Department. He's basically what he's saying here is well, no,

1273
01:23:08,760 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: we got a lot more coming and our investigation has

1274
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 1: included developing information from other persons and entities. By the way,

1275
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: this is where we're now going to get into Italy

1276
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 1: and Great Britain, Australia and outsourcing of spying and all

1277
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: of that, on top of really really hammering home on

1278
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 1: how corrupt and what an abuse of power all of

1279
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: this was and how political it's been. And Durham goes

1280
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: on based on the evidence collected to date, and while

1281
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 1: our investigation is ongoing. Last month we advise the Inspector General.

1282
01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:47,000
Speaker 1: We do not agree with some of the report's conclusions

1283
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: as to prediction and how the FBI case was open.

1284
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: It was open on one issue, the Papadopolis call. Let

1285
01:23:54,920 --> 01:23:58,879
Speaker 1: me go to the page four to fourteen. We're deeply

1286
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: concerned with so many basic and fundamental errors were made

1287
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: by three separate, handpicked investigative teams on one of the

1288
01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 1: most sensitive FBI investigations after the matter had been brief

1289
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: to the highest levels within the FBI, even though the

1290
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:20,839
Speaker 1: information sought, your use of FISA authority related so closely

1291
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,760
Speaker 1: to an ongoing presidential campaign, even though those involved with

1292
01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 1: the investigation knew that their actions were likely to be

1293
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: subjected to close scrutiny. We believe that this circumstance reflects

1294
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: a failure not just by those who prepared applications, but

1295
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:42,879
Speaker 1: also by the managers and supervisors in the crossfire Hurricane

1296
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:47,240
Speaker 1: chain of command, including FBI senior officials who are briefed

1297
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: as the investigation progressed. Great job, Jim Comey. We do

1298
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:54,439
Speaker 1: not expect managers and supervisors to know every fact about

1299
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: an investigation, or senior leaders to know all the details

1300
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 1: of cases of which they are briefed. However, especially in

1301
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 1: the FBI's most sensitive and high priority matters, and especially

1302
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 1: when seeking court permission to use an intrusive tool such

1303
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: as a FISA order, it is incumbent upon the entire

1304
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: chain of command, including senior officials, to take the necessary

1305
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: steps to ensure that they're sufficiently familiar with the facts

1306
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 1: and circumstances supporting and potentially undermining a FISA application in

1307
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:33,400
Speaker 1: order to provide effective oversight consistent with their level of

1308
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 1: supervisory responsibilities. Such oversight requires greater familiarity with the facts

1309
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,080
Speaker 1: than we saw in this review, where time and again

1310
01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 1: during the interviews FBI managers, supervisors senior officials displayed a

1311
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 1: lack of understanding or awareness of important information concerning many

1312
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,280
Speaker 1: of the problems we have identified in the preparation of

1313
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:00,759
Speaker 1: FISA applications to surveil Carter page cross by. Our Hurricane

1314
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 1: team failed to comply with FBI policies and in so

1315
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: doing fell short of what is rightfully expected from the

1316
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: premier law enforcement agency and trusted with such an intrusive

1317
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: surveillance tool. In light of the significant concerns identified with

1318
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:21,680
Speaker 1: the Carter Page buys applications, we now know that they

1319
01:26:21,760 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: actually changed, that they literally altered so that they could

1320
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: use this process anyway, and other described in the report.

1321
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 1: The OIG today initiated an audit that will further examine

1322
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:38,080
Speaker 1: the FBI's compliance with WOODS procedures and buys applications that

1323
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: target US persons in both counterintelligence and counter terrorism investigations.

1324
01:26:43,040 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: Then they go on to make recommendations into all of this.

1325
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 1: But when you think Barr saying that the FBI launched

1326
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: this thing on the thinnest of suspicions insufficient to justify

1327
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: any of the steps taken, is my numbing. They omitted

1328
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 1: the FBI had obtained from another US agency details of

1329
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: Carter Page's prior work as an operational contact for that

1330
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:16,040
Speaker 1: other agency. He worked for our side, as he'd been

1331
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 1: telling us. He didn't light to us on the show,

1332
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 1: and he provided information to other agencies concerning his prior contacts,

1333
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,879
Speaker 1: one of which over lapped the facts asserted in Faiza

1334
01:27:28,600 --> 01:27:33,439
Speaker 1: in including a source characterization statement which by the way,

1335
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 1: overstated the significance of Steel's past reporting not approved by

1336
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: Steele's handling agent omitted information relevant to the reliability of

1337
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: person a key Steel's subsource. By the way, we now

1338
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:53,920
Speaker 1: know again it was never verifiable. Steele himself told members

1339
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 1: of the Crossfire Hurricane team that Person one was a

1340
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:02,960
Speaker 1: boaster and an egoist. I have no idea if any

1341
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 1: of it's true, asserted. The FBI had assess that Steele

1342
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: did not directly provide to the press information based on

1343
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:15,520
Speaker 1: the Yahoo news. This is the hacks we talk about,

1344
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,840
Speaker 1: Michael Lizakov and David corn. Oh yeah, they're exposed here

1345
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:21,639
Speaker 1: big time. They took they took propaganda, ran with it,

1346
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 1: lies and ran with it. Welcome to your fake news

1347
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 1: media and shared. Uh. Steele had told the FBI he

1348
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 1: only shared with his election related research with the FBI,

1349
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: Fusion GPS, his client. The premise was incorrect contradicted by

1350
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,920
Speaker 1: documentation in the Woods file. Steele had told the FBI

1351
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: he also gave information of the State Department. They admitted

1352
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:48,759
Speaker 1: Papadopoulos's consensually monitored statements exculpatory, let's put it that way.

1353
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:53,280
Speaker 1: As it related to outside groups. They admitted pages consensually

1354
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: monitored statements. Literally never met or said one word to

1355
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:02,080
Speaker 1: Paul Manafort. Wow, amazing you can say that and then

1356
01:29:02,080 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 1: it gets changed around, isn't it omitted? Other statements paid

1357
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Page made that we're in consistence with their theory denying

1358
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 1: haven't met certain individuals. See whether this is going here?

1359
01:29:14,439 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 1: All of it. They didn't provide anything that was correct. This,

1360
01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:22,120
Speaker 1: you know, go back to the beginning. What matters here?

1361
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:26,559
Speaker 1: What matters here is well, how did we have the

1362
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:30,560
Speaker 1: biggest abuse of power corruption scandal ever? Not only is

1363
01:29:30,600 --> 01:29:35,639
Speaker 1: he talking about severely flawed FISA applications, failures to properly

1364
01:29:36,360 --> 01:29:41,559
Speaker 1: vet steel and seek information about Clinton funding? What else?

1365
01:29:41,800 --> 01:29:44,679
Speaker 1: What else do we find out? They sought to spy

1366
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 1: on Carter Page because an agent thought his past relationship

1367
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,599
Speaker 1: with Russia could be a clandestine relationship. Oh but take

1368
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 1: out that he actually worked for another agency with three letters.

1369
01:29:55,240 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 1: When asked for the motivations behind the Steel dossier, the

1370
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 1: agent involved doesn't respond. And everything that we've been saying,

1371
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:07,320
Speaker 1: no dossier, no FISA application weren't approved. That is clear.

1372
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Without the Steel dossier, they would not have gotten the

1373
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 1: FISA application approved period. The FISA application. Remember, the bulk

1374
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:22,599
Speaker 1: of information from the FIES application was almost entirely based

1375
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 1: on the Steel dossier. We learned that today. You know,

1376
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 1: how much more do we have to know here? But

1377
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 1: This is you know, nothing but corruption at the highest level.

1378
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 1: This was about getting Trump, This was about destroying This

1379
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:41,360
Speaker 1: was their whole insurance policy. You know, you look at

1380
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,800
Speaker 1: every aspect of this. You know you have the what

1381
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: you know, what was Steel hired to do? Well, now

1382
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:49,840
Speaker 1: we know, Steel under oath said I have no idea

1383
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 1: if any of it's true. Y FBI could articulate why

1384
01:30:53,120 --> 01:30:57,040
Speaker 1: it deemed Steel's reporting to be credible because they were advised,

1385
01:30:57,080 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 1: based on information from Steel, that Steel was specifically hired

1386
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,280
Speaker 1: by an individual to provide the information on the candidate.

1387
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:08,240
Speaker 1: They failed to They failed to tell the court that

1388
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 1: Hillary paid for this. How do you how do you

1389
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: not tell the court? What is the number one conclusion

1390
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,519
Speaker 1: in all of this? How do you get that you

1391
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,519
Speaker 1: don't vet steal and seek information about, you know, being

1392
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: funded by by the Clinton camp. Well, that that might

1393
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,160
Speaker 1: be you know, the dirty dossier, by the way, played

1394
01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: an essential role in the decision to seek Faiza. And

1395
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:38,040
Speaker 1: by the way, they never bothered to ever corroborate any

1396
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: of it, and they used it anyway because it was

1397
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: the only part that they can use. Um. This is devastating,

1398
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,160
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what's even more devastating is that

1399
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 1: now the now you have the prosecutor involved in the

1400
01:31:50,240 --> 01:31:52,920
Speaker 1: real criminal investigation, because Harwood's never had that power to

1401
01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:56,599
Speaker 1: convene a grand jury or to press charges on anybody.

1402
01:31:57,560 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: But they found the quantity of omissions and inaccurate season

1403
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:04,360
Speaker 1: all the obvious errors that were made deeply concerning you

1404
01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:09,000
Speaker 1: think may have improperly substituted their own judgment instead of

1405
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 1: what facts are. Yeah, that would be because they hated

1406
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 1: Trump so so bad, so many basic fundamental errors were

1407
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 1: made on four fives applications by three separate, handpicked teams

1408
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 1: on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations that was

1409
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,839
Speaker 1: brief to the highest levels within the FBI and FBI

1410
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 1: officials expected would eventually be subjected to close scrutiny, raised

1411
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 1: significant questions according regarding the FBI's chain of command, management, etc. Etc.

1412
01:32:38,200 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievable you look at this. We believe

1413
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:46,040
Speaker 1: the more should have been done to examine Steele's contacts.

1414
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 1: It's all there. They never bothered, they never cared because

1415
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:56,000
Speaker 1: they had their predetermined conclusion in all of this. You know,

1416
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: a mountain of red flags that they ignored regarding Steel,

1417
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:05,080
Speaker 1: their failure and creating you the misleading application. They were

1418
01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:09,960
Speaker 1: all warned ahead of time seventeen specific errors and omissions

1419
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:14,639
Speaker 1: in these applications, seventeen of them. They didn't give equal

1420
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,719
Speaker 1: attention or treatment or the relevant facts or probable cause

1421
01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 1: at any point. It was all a foregone conclusion. Steel

1422
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 1: was paid by the FBI for years. FBI admitted much

1423
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,800
Speaker 1: of Steel's work was never corroborated or verified. But how

1424
01:33:28,840 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 1: does it then become the bulk of information and defies

1425
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:34,080
Speaker 1: the application as confirmed in this report today? How does

1426
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 1: that happen unless you have an agenda? I will say

1427
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:40,160
Speaker 1: this again. The mob and the media was wrong. They

1428
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: lie constantly. This should have been their story, the biggest

1429
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 1: abuse of power corruption scandal in history. And the good

1430
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:51,840
Speaker 1: news today is both bar and Dorham are like adamant

1431
01:33:51,880 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 1: that this is getting worse by the hour for them

1432
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:59,400
Speaker 1: and all these deep state operatives. All right, Hannaday tonight

Speaker 1: The truth. Also Greg Jarrett, John Solomon Dan Bongino Tonight

Speaker 1: and much much more. The news, the mob and the

1439
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 1: media is not gonna cover. They're gonna stick with their

1440
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:25,880
Speaker 1: phony impeachment narrative. Yeah, with their non fact opinion and

1441
