1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: All right, News round up and Information Overload hour. Here's 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: our toll free telephone number if you want to be 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: a part of the program. We welcome back Senator Tom Cotton. 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: He released a statement on the Director of National Intelligence 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: TULSEI Gabbard's announcement. He said, Congress created the Office of 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence to be a lean organization that 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: used small staffs to coordinate across the intelligence community execute 8 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 1: specific important tasks. And today's announcement, remember earlier in the 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 1: week shoes on Hannity and they took away thirty seven 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: security clearances, number one and number two. They're cutting back 11 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: the size and scope of what the organization is because 12 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: they've gotten away from their original intent. He said, it 13 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,800 Speaker 1: will make the dn I stronger, more effective for national 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: security for the President. I look forward to working with 15 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: Director Gabbard to implement these reforms and provide the ODNI 16 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: with legislative relief necessary to ensure our intelligence community can 17 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: focus on its core mission, and that is stealing secrets 18 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: from our adversaries. Anyway, Senator Cotton, great to have you back. 19 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. A lot of news 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: that is unfolding as it relates to the Deep State. 21 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: John Solomon will be with us at the bottom of 22 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: the hour, and his report on James Comy is very 23 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: breathtaking in terms of they have smoking gun evidence according 24 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: to John, that in fact, there were purposeful leaks of 25 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: classified information to reporters coming from Comy directly himself. He's 26 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: going to lay out the case. He's got all the documents, 27 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 1: he put him up on his website. And then of 28 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: course we have James Comer today finding out that, you know, 29 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: with the most informative interview of his probe so far 30 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: into this conspiracy that he only met twice, meaning Ian 31 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: Sam's who testified today, only met twice with Biden. But 32 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: he was saying, oh, it's a conspiracy theory if you 33 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: dare talk about his cognitive state. And Mike Howell pras 34 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: And of the Oversight Project is pointing out that Biden's 35 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: own Justice Department was warning directly that these last minute 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: of pardons and commutations were not going to be legal, 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: and he lists four specific reasons why, and nobody paid 38 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: attention to them. And on top of that, the FBI 39 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: director Cash Pattel said there was no constitutional basis, no 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: lawful predicate for Biden's Justice Department and FBI to carry 41 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: out the rate at mar A Lago. There's a lot 42 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: going on. Everything that we had been reporting on seems 43 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: to be, you know, more and more evidence is coming 44 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: out every day that it was all true. Your reaction 45 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: all of it sean. 46 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: There certainly had a lot going on in this front, 47 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: and I think it's important that the Democratic politicians and 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 2: the bureaucrats who perpetuated the Russia collusion hoax are being 49 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: exposed and will be held accountable. Some of them, it 50 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: seems like, from what I've learned, may be held criminally 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: accountable in certain cases. But we also have the important 52 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 2: reforms that Tulsa Gabbard announced this week. The d and 53 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: I has grown bloated and bureaucratic from its original intent 54 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: of Congress twenty years ago. This is something she and 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: I discussed in our first conversation after President Trump nominated her. 56 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: We both addressed her confirmation hearings and at my committee. 57 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: The Intelligence Committee passed legislation to help implement a couple 58 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: months ago that expect to pass Congress later this year. 59 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 2: I mean, the D and I does not collect intelligence, 60 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 2: They don't have agents running around the world. They don't 61 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: have satellites. They're supposed to be a coordinating function. They're 62 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: not supposed to be involved in politicizing intelligence, really giving 63 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: directives on how agencies use their own internal assets. But 64 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: when you have as many people as the D and 65 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 2: I has had in recent years, it does open up 66 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: the possibility of mishift making. When people don't have legitimate 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: intelligence functions and responsibilities on the plate, then they start 68 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: cooking up the kind of things that justify their jobs 69 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: and their budgets and so forth. So what Director Gabbard 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: announced this week is an important first step. We've been 71 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 2: working with her closely. Some of the problems with the 72 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: D and I, I'll confess, Sean, there's the problems of 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 2: Congress over the last twenty years imposing new mandates on them, 74 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: creating centers that are superfluous or not related to intelligence 75 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 2: at all. And it's going to take our legislation to 76 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 2: eliminate those offices and those centers so that D and 77 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: I can get back to its original focus of ensuring 78 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: that intelligence is coordinated across all the agencies while letting 79 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 2: those agencies do their primary job. 80 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: What do you make of Tulsea's declassification and what we 81 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: learned as it relates to the twenty sixteen election. And 82 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: I asked her the other night on TV, I said, so, 83 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: is it your assessment that what happened in twenty sixteen 84 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: is that deep state actors tried to use phony information 85 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: about a Russia connection to Donald Trump that they knew 86 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: didn't exist, so that it would help teller he win 87 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: the election. And do you believe that after they lost 88 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: the election and senior career intelligence officials ascertained with their 89 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: intelligence analysis that there was no Trump Russia collusion and 90 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: that Obama and his top lieutenants didn't like that assessment, 91 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: and they came up with a new assessment that said 92 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: just the opposite, And then they used the dirty Russian 93 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: disinformation dossier that was bought and paid for by Hillary 94 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: to write a new assessment to make Donald Trump look bad. 95 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: What do you make of all of that? Is that 96 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: criminal to you? 97 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: Sean? From what Telsea Gabbers released and as well what 98 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 2: John Ratcliff at the CIA is released, and that comes 99 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: from senior career intelligence officials at the CIA, it appears 100 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: that this rock came from the Democratic political appointees. In fact, 101 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: one of the batches of releases from the d and 102 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: I about a month ago showed that you had career 103 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: officials who are pushing back against Jim Clapper and against 104 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: John Brennan and against Jim Comey, saying they shouldn't proceed. 105 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 2: So in some ways, it's the intelligence officials that were 106 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 2: trying to protect the reputation and integrity of their own 107 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 2: work and their agencies against these democratic political appointees. I 108 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 2: think that's what took a lot of people, or what 109 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: struck a lot of people, is that it really started 110 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 2: at the top. And it seems that Sean had frankly 111 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: gone all the way up to the very top with 112 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: Barack Obama in the transition period of twenty sixteen and 113 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, and it's proven out by FBI investigation and 114 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: with the Department of Justice prosecutors, and any of these 115 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: people were involved in violating the law, then certainly if 116 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 2: the statue of limitations has not run, then they would 117 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 2: face criminal liability as they should for engaging in criminal misconduct. 118 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, when you think of all of that, 119 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: and then you factor in if in fact we have 120 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: deep state powerful actors that are used in the intelligence community, 121 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and what should be the greatest law enforcement agency in 122 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: the entire world, the FBI, and they're putting cinder blocks 123 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: on the scales of elections. I would argue they did 124 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: the same thing in twenty twenty because the FBI knew 125 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: that Rudy Giuliani's attorney, Bob Costello, had a copy of 126 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop. They knew that story would break. They 127 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: verified the authenticity of the laptop in March of twenty twenty. 128 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: They went about the process in the summer of twenty 129 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: twenty of meeting with big tech companies every single week, 130 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: warning them they may be victims of a disinformation campaign. 131 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: It may be about Hunter, it may be about Joe Biden. 132 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: And then sure enough the story breaks and Mark Zuckerberg 133 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: of Meta, then Facebook, and Jack Dorsey of then Twitter, 134 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, call and say, is this what you were 135 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: warning us about? And they would not tell them what 136 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: they knew to be true, that it was authentic, that 137 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: it was real, that they had verified. Such is that 138 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: putting cinder blocks on the scale of an election. 139 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: It certainly sounds like a Sean And it is really 140 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: important that we get to the bottom of all this, 141 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: that all appropriate material is declassified and released. Because it's 142 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 2: not enough just to have people like Pambondi and Cash 143 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: Betel in charge now and be confident that this is 144 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: not going to happen again, at least for the next 145 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: three and a half years. It really is necessary to 146 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: expose what happened and hold those people to account, even 147 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: if let's say a statute imitations has exposed, hold them 148 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 2: publicly to account so it never happens again. So no 149 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: unelected bureaucrat or no democratic appointee in the future thinks 150 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: that they can use law enforcement or intelligence agencies to 151 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: influence domestic politics here in America. 152 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: It's pretty unbelievable. And you know now that we're learning 153 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: from Cash Battel that the FBI rate on Marl Lago. 154 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: Literally he determined that it was illegal, and he said, 155 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: now's the time for accountability, said there was no constitutional basis, 156 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: no lawful predicgated for it. And then, of course, on 157 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: one of the top stories of the day, the President 158 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: now celebrating his victory over the you know, over Letitia 159 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 1: James and this ridiculous settlement of five hundred and fifteen 160 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: million dollars as it you know, relates to a mortgage 161 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: case which is unprecedented, and a judge that you know, 162 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: stood by evaluation of mar a lago of eighteen million 163 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: dollars when it's when it's a billion to a billion 164 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: and a half dollars. And they got away with all 165 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: of that, and all of the other law fair the 166 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: novel legal theory of Alvin Bragg, the rate of mar 167 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: A Lago, all of these things combined. I mean to me, 168 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: that's more election interference. That's more that their job then 169 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: was to bloody up Donald Trump, to make him, you know, 170 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: not to make render him not a viable candidate for president. 171 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: Of my view, you got se sean to borrow fraise 172 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: from our democratic friends. It sounds to me like a 173 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: threat to democracy. And it's so funny that they always 174 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: levy that charge against President Trump and against us, when 175 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 2: they're the ones who, again, over the last ten years, 176 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: have rapidly used law enforcements and litigation to try to 177 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 2: tar Donald Trump, to try to convict him and imprison 178 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: him for the rest of his life, or in the 179 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: case that was just overturned today, to find him a 180 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: half billion dollars for what Shawan taking out loans that 181 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: he repaid. I remember when that judgment first came down 182 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: last year. I was talking to a farmer in Arkansas 183 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 2: and he's like, what are they even talking about up there? 184 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: You take out a loan, you repay it all. Who's 185 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: the victim? I bet the banks are happy, And they 186 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: weren't happy, of course. 187 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: Well that was the case. I mean it was in 188 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: the case of the non disclosure agreement. It was a 189 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: legal non disclosure agreement. It was put together by a lawyer. 190 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: It was labeled the legal expense. The statute of limitations 191 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: had run out. It was a misdemeanor to begin with 192 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: in the state of New York, even though the statute 193 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: of limitations had run out. And then to come up 194 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: with this novel legal theory and then send the third 195 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: highest ranking DOJ official from the Biden Justice Department to 196 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: help out. Alvin Bragg tells me they wanted that conviction 197 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: as badly again, to bloody of Trump and render him unelectable. 198 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, fortunately Sean at backfired on them. But again 199 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: it's just an example of how they need to be 200 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: exposed so this never happens again. LISTA. You know they 201 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: had a legal theory that gussied up what was a 202 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: misdemeanor into a family. They never even adequately explained the 203 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: legal theory. The liberal judge that presided over this case 204 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 2: and allowed the conviction to go forward, or allowed the 205 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: case to go to a jury at all, never explained 206 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: the legal theory period. They would were willing to break 207 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: any rule, any procedure, any custom, all an effort to 208 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: get Trump to bankrupt him, to convict him, to imprison them. 209 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 2: Thank goodness, the American people saw through it all and 210 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: did not allow it to influence their choice in the 211 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: election last year. 212 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: All right, quick break, we'll come back more with Senator 213 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas as we continue with him, 214 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: and then John Solomon is breaking news regarding James Comey 215 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: and the leaking of intelligence and information classified information. He 216 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: feels he has smoking gun evidence. He'll share that with 217 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: us at the bottom of the hour. Well, full coverage 218 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: of all of this on Hannity tonight on the Fox 219 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: News Channel. Quick Break right back will continue, probably continue 220 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: now with Senator Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas's with us. 221 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people listening to this show 222 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: will think back and they'll remember investigations that we've had. 223 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: You know, Hillary Clinton's dirty bought and paid for dossier. 224 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: James call me protecting Hillary with you know, no reasonable 225 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: prosecutor would prosecute. But then, of course a double standard 226 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: occurred when mar Lago got raided and she did not 227 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: have the protections that Donald Trump did with the with 228 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: the Presidential Authorization Act, where he had access to these papers, 229 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: she never had the ability to take them with her. 230 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: The same with Joe Biden. Again, a double standard, a 231 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: dual justice system. And I just wonder, you know, and 232 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: I know my audience is wondering because everybody I talked 233 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: who says, do you think something's going to happen this time? 234 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: Are people really going to be held accountable for what 235 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: they've done here? 236 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: Shawn, I am because I have confidence in Cash detail 237 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 2: in Pam Bondy to follow the law and to not 238 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: break the rules the Democrats did while being aggressive within 239 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: the law. And SHAWNA, I predict that if charges are 240 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 2: brought against any of these thirty Democratic players, and they 241 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 2: happen to happen to involve the charges that are so 242 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: often been broughtienst Republicans over the past several decades, lying 243 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: to Congress, lying the federal investigators, substruction of justice. You're 244 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: going to hear wailing and crying from Democrats and from 245 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: liberals in the media about how this happens all the time, 246 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: and these are not serious actions and they're engaged in 247 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 2: legal warfare. When it's aok against Donald Trump or for 248 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: that matter, against Ronald Reagan's appointees or against George W. 249 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: Bush's appointees, it was all fine and dandy back then, 250 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 2: and it was a matter of high principle. But when 251 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: it's going when the shoes on the other foot and 252 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 2: Democrats are being held accountable for things like lying to 253 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: federal investigators or obstruction of justice or conspiracy against civil rights, 254 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, those charges are not going 255 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 2: to be serious at all in the case where everyone 256 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 2: does it and Donald Trump's doj under Pam Mandy and 257 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 2: Cash Retail is engaging in that ragious misconduct conduct. Just 258 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,200 Speaker 2: mark mark my work, Sean when you hear that. But 259 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: I'm confident that Pam and Cash, if there are legal 260 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: legal case to be made and it's colorable under the 261 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 2: law and under precedent, will move forward to hold these 262 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: people accountable. 263 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: It is amazing that these you know all this information 264 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: that they didn't get rid of it. These burn bags 265 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: they left them there. This information, this paper trail, they 266 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: left it there. They're supposed to be so clever and 267 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 1: so smart, you would think they would have covered their 268 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: own tracks. But the discoveries that they're making every day, 269 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: you know, I'll frankly take my breath away. And as 270 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: somebody who reported on all of these issues, I spent 271 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, four years of my life reporting on Russia, Russia, Russia, 272 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: and even stands beyond that it is, it is kind 273 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: of breathtaking. But Senator Tom Cott, we always appreciate you 274 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: being with us. Thank you, sir.

The FBI 316 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: director Cash Bettel has determined the Biden FBI's mar A 317 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Lago raid was illegal. As I said earlier in the program, 318 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: you have a top Justice Department prosecutor hinting that the 319 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: New York Attorney General could avoid prosecution on mortgage fraud charges. 320 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: Interesting investigations going on between her and Adam Schiff and 321 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: Adam Shifts.

But we just have breaking 326 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: at this moment on top of all of the news 327 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: we've had today, John Solomon, I'm just looking at this report. 328 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: Prosecutors have secured evidence about James Comy, mister higher honor 329 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: himself that he authorized classified leagues, but what they declined charges. 330 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: And I'll let John tell you the story himself, because 331 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: he did all the deep digging and hard work and 332 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: he found all the evidence, and it looks like we 333 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: have bombshell revelations from all I can see here. 334 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: John, Yeah, this is a very big moment. This is 335 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 3: one of the deepest, darkest secrets that have been locked 336 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 3: up in the vaults of the FBI and the Justice Department. 337 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: Into the credit of Cash Btel, who dug these documents 338 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 3: up and got them, and then to the credit of 339 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 3: Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, who worked hard to lift 340 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 3: redactions heavily were adacted documents. We now know for certain 341 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 3: that federal prosecutors ascertained evidence from the top lieutenants of 342 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 3: James Comy that James Comy had leaked classified authorized the 343 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 3: leak of classified information to The New York Times. One 344 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 3: of those leaks right before the election, clearly a leak 345 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 3: designed to influence the election in twenty sixteen. And I 346 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 3: want to remind everybody to a famous moment right around 347 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: the time that President Trump fired James Combe as the 348 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 3: FBI director, he was brought before the Senate Judiciary Committee 349 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 3: and Chuck Grassley pinned James Comy down. He was asked 350 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 3: by by Chuck Grassey, did you ever have you ever 351 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 3: been in an anonymous source of news reports and matters relating 352 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 3: to the Trump investigation of the Clinton investigation? He answered never. 353 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 3: Grassy then said did you ever authorize anyone else to 354 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 3: be an anonymous source on these topics? He said no, 355 00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 3: and whether? And then he was asked us any cast 356 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 3: of information relating to President Trumper's associates ever declassified or 357 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 3: shared with journalists and Comby said not to my knowledge. 358 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: In fact, he went out to say, I think leaks 359 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 3: are a problem. Well, let's tell you what. The Postal 360 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 3: Inspection Service and federal prosecutors found when they looked at 361 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 3: that testimony and looked at a very specific leak to 362 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 3: the New York Times. They concluded that based on eyewitness 363 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: testimony from James Baker, the former chief counsel to James 364 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 3: Comy at the FBI, Baker admitted he disclosed US government 365 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: classified information to the New York Times, and he did 366 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 3: so because he had been instructed and authorized to do 367 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 3: so by then FBI Director James Comy, and he lays 368 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 3: out how the instruction came down. Comy tells his cheapestaff 369 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 3: James Rabicki, James Rebake tells Baker go leak it, and 370 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 3: then Baker goes leaks it to the New York Times. 371 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: That seems to directly contradict, directly contradict the testimony of 372 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 3: James Comy in seventeen something that's well outside the statute 373 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: of limitations. But what isn't outside the statute of limitations 374 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 3: is a knowing and willful and intentional leak of national 375 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: security information. There are certain statutes in certain conditions where 376 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: someone can be charged up to ten years after a 377 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 3: classified leak if it's knowing in wilfold. Certainly, what Baker 378 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 3: and Roubickie are talking about is comy knowing what he 379 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 3: was doing and having people downstream from him do the 380 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 3: dirty work. This is a bombshell. It is big. It's 381 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: in FBI documents. We just put the documents up on 382 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 3: our website. Everybody can read them with their own eyes. Now, 383 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 3: what did we learn about why we didn't get accountability 384 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: before this? It turns out that multiple people looked at this, 385 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 3: including the US Attorney's office in Washington, d C. Under 386 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 3: Donald Trump's first term, and the former Special Prosecutor John Durman. 387 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 3: In both cases, they decided not to bring criminal charges 388 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 3: even though they had this pretty clear case of a 389 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 3: leak and an admission of a leak and who was 390 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 3: involved and who approved it. We're gonna have a lot 391 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: of fall up peop were going to wonder why did 392 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 3: that happen? Who made those decisions in Is there anything 393 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 3: Pam BONDI can do now to resurrect this case and 394 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 3: bring justice. You'll get a chance, I guess to ask 395 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 3: her about it tonight on your show. 396 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you to answer your own question. 397 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: I mean, the obvious answer would be yes, if the 398 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: statute of limitations have not run out, if you purposely 399 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: are leaking classified information and you're saying the smoking of 400 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: gun evidence and it's in writing. 401 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: It is in writing. Yeah. The US Postal Inspection Service 402 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 3: was brought in to assist this investigation since the FBI 403 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: couldn't investigate itself. It is clear in this summary memo 404 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 3: that the investigation established that James Baker did leak the 405 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 3: information that James Coomy, through James or VICKI told him 406 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: to do it. Now they decided not to charge Baker 407 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 3: and Vicky, the two top lieutenants, but it is silent 408 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 3: on the issue of why the authorizer himself, James Comey, 409 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 3: wasn't considered for charges. I think that's something we got 410 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 3: to do more work on. It's gonna take us some time. 411 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 3: There are still some redactions in these documents. There's still 412 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 3: some classified information that we can't see. There will be 413 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 3: lots of things that will, but there is a portion 414 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: of the Internal Security Act of nineteen fifty that does 415 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: extend a statute out to ten years. The things we 416 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: have to know which we can't tell from this is 417 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: what was exactly the classified piece of information. Is there 418 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 3: any scenario where James Comby could be classify it himself 419 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 3: or did someone above him, Did a Barack Obama or 420 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: a James Brennan or John Brennan or someone else tell 421 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: him to leak the information? We don't know that from 422 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 3: these memos, but we do know one thing. There was 423 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: pretty darn good evidence to say James Commey didn't tell 424 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: Congress the truth and there was a classified leak that 425 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 3: occurred in his inner circle, reportedly in these documents, flatly 426 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 3: stating James Comy himself approved that leak. 427 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: What do you make I mean when you put all 428 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: all of this together, and for example, what Tulsey Gabbard 429 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: was able to declassify. We learned, for example, that senior 430 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: career intelligence officials had determined that there was no Trump 431 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: Russia collusion. That was an early day. They concluded that 432 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: after the twenty sixteen election, we could backtrack a little 433 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 1: bit and we could say, okay, there was no real 434 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: reason why James Comey stepped up and said no reasonable 435 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: prosecutor would prosecute, knowing the evidence was very overwhelming and 436 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: incontrovertible as it relates to Hillary Clinton having top secret 437 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: classified information on our servers in an attempt to cover 438 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: it up by using bleach bit to acid wash the 439 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: servers and destroying devices with hammers and removing sim cards. 440 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: Then James Comy's involvement. He signed three of the four 441 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 1: FISA warrants, even though correct me if my timeline is wrong, 442 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 1: even though he was wrong. He was warned in August 443 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen not to use the dirty Russian disinformation 444 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 1: dossier that Hillary paid for, which became the bulk of 445 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: information for the four PISA warrants, and they definitively knew 446 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 1: not to use it by December of twenty sixteen, and 447 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 1: James Comy was responsible for putting his signature on the 448 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: first three PISA warrants. And there is a law, as 449 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: Greg Jared has pointed out many many times, that says, 450 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: if you give false information to a PHIZA court and 451 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: you discover it immediately, your job is to go back 452 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: to the court and tell them the information that you 453 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: had presented to the court turned out to be false. 454 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: They didn't do that. It seems like there's a lot 455 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: of legal vulnerability for James Comy. So maybe when I 456 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,360 Speaker 1: said back in twenty sixteen, seventeen and eighteen, and we're 457 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: doing Russia, Russia, Russia every day, and you are such 458 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: a big part of the coverage. I said, James Komy, 459 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: just remember you have the right to remain silent. Maybe 460 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: I wasn't so wrong. 461 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, maybe you should listened to a few more 462 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 3: Taylor Swift songs and maybe not done so many leaks. 463 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 3: We'll see, Yeah, listen. I think today is a day 464 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 3: to take a pause and realize how much the steel 465 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 3: curtain that kept us from understanding the weaponization machinery has broken, 466 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 3: and particularly in just the last few weeks, but certainly 467 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 3: over the last three or four years. We now know 468 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 3: that the verdict against President Trump in the civil case 469 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 3: was unconstitutional. We knew it, but now we have a 470 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 3: court saying it. We know that there were massive leaks. 471 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 3: We know the intelligence community hijacked an assessment and tried 472 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 3: to come to a false collusion to carry out a 473 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 3: political outcome. We know that Hillary Clinton authorized the whole 474 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 3: Russia collusion hoax, and that the FBI knew in advance, 475 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 3: and so did President Obama, that she had authorized this 476 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 3: dirty trick. Instill The FBI and the US Intelligence Committee 477 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 3: participated in that dirty trick, legitimized that dirty trick dragged 478 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 3: the country through three and a half years of unnecessary 479 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 3: turmoil over a scandal that never had as John Durham 480 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 3: told us, and I owed of evidence to back it up. 481 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 3: And now we know that we had a group of leakers, 482 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 3: people in high senior positions who looked in the eye 483 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: and told us we could trust them, who were leaking information. 484 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 3: And those include, according to the evidence that the FBI 485 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 3: believed it had, Adam shiff the chairman of the House 486 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 3: Intelligence Committee, James Comy, the FBI Director. We may have 487 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: others before we're done, based on what I'm seeing in 488 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 3: these memos. So the great steel curtain that hid all 489 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 3: of this from us has crumbled, and the only question 490 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 3: left for us is will there be a prosecution or 491 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 3: a penalty so powerful that it creates an incentive for 492 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 3: future people not to do this. Right now, there's no deterrence. 493 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 3: So many people got away with the things we've now chronicled. 494 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 3: If I'm sitting and I'm a deep Stater who has 495 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 3: political motives, I might not be afraid to do something 496 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 3: similar in the future. That is the moment that Pam 497 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 3: Bondi at cash Ptel, that Tulci Gabbett, that President Trump 498 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 3: have on their plate right now, they could create a 499 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: deterrence to make sure they make an example of a 500 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 3: few people, created an enormous penalty, could very well see 501 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 3: the sort of deterrence. 502 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, is there three presidential elections, 503 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: John Solomon, in which we have deep state actors abusing 504 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: their power to try to influence elections in this country. 505 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: That would be the Grand conspiracy investigation. To me may 506 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: sound complicated, but it's really not. 507 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 3: It's not because it's a very simple pattern obstruct lawful 508 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 3: criminal investigations of Democrats who may have done something wrong. 509 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton with their classified emails, Hillary Clinton with their foundation, 510 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 3: Hunter Biden with his taxes, Hunter Biden with his corruption, 511 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 3: Joe Biden with his classified documents. Those were the three 512 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: major investigations that were Democrats that enormous liability, and they 513 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 3: got a pass, and they occurred and could have infected 514 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 3: the twenty sixteen, the twenty twenty and the twenty twenty 515 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 3: four election. What happened on the other side of that equation, 516 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 3: Donald Trump was pursued almost always on fall or incomplete 517 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: allegations for things like Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, classified documents 518 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 3: in the raid on Mr Lago, and so the case 519 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 3: is very simple, as complicated as all the facts are 520 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 3: in the timeline is it's very simple a wash rint 521 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: repeat cycle of protecting and obstructing an investigation of a 522 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 3: Democrat so that they don't get in trouble, then projecting 523 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 3: a fake scandal or a questionable scandal on a Republican 524 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: and so doing you're obstructing justice and the Democrats investigation, 525 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 3: and then you're violating the civil liberties of the Republicans 526 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 3: who are falsely accused and put through a process. I 527 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 3: think that is what we heard, Tay. Remember what the 528 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 3: federal the New York Appeals Court ruled today, what Judge 529 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 3: Edjeron and what Letitia James did wasn't just an error. 530 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 3: It was a violation of the eighth Amendment of the 531 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 3: US Constitution. Is a civil liberties a civil rights violation. 532 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 3: That is the theory that Caspitel opened up this case, 533 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 3: and that's the theory that Harmeet Dylan talked about on 534 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 3: my show the other day. The people now about the 535 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 3: face criminal investigation could be charged with crimes under the 536 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 3: same civil rights laws that we use to prosecute crooked 537 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,719 Speaker 3: cops and dirty cops in the South. In the nineteen 538 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 3: sixties who were violating the rights of black Americans in 539 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: the South. Those laws could very come around, and it 540 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 3: can very much come around if used in this conspiracy case. 541 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: John Solomon justinews dot com.
