WEBVTT - Deep State Exposed - August 21st, Hour 3 0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.200 All right, News round up and Information Overload hour. Here's 0:00:02.240 --> 0:00:04.520 our toll free telephone number if you want to be 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:09.520 a part of the program. We welcome back Senator Tom Cotton. 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:14.600 He released a statement on the Director of National Intelligence 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:19.279 TULSEI Gabbard's announcement. He said, Congress created the Office of 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:23.520 Director of National Intelligence to be a lean organization that 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:28.760 used small staffs to coordinate across the intelligence community execute 0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:33.320 specific important tasks. And today's announcement, remember earlier in the 0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:36.480 week shoes on Hannity and they took away thirty seven 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.279 security clearances, number one and number two. They're cutting back 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:43.280 the size and scope of what the organization is because 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.600 they've gotten away from their original intent. He said, it 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.800 will make the dn I stronger, more effective for national 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.960 security for the President. I look forward to working with 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:58.080 Director Gabbard to implement these reforms and provide the ODNI 0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:02.760 with legislative relief necessary to ensure our intelligence community can 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.000 focus on its core mission, and that is stealing secrets 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.520 from our adversaries. Anyway, Senator Cotton, great to have you back. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.679 Thank you for being with us. A lot of news 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.160 that is unfolding as it relates to the Deep State. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.480 John Solomon will be with us at the bottom of 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.320 the hour, and his report on James Comy is very 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.440 breathtaking in terms of they have smoking gun evidence according 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:31.080 to John, that in fact, there were purposeful leaks of 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:35.039 classified information to reporters coming from Comy directly himself. He's 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.280 going to lay out the case. He's got all the documents, 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.040 he put him up on his website. And then of 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:44.160 course we have James Comer today finding out that, you know, 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.200 with the most informative interview of his probe so far 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:51.440 into this conspiracy that he only met twice, meaning Ian 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.240 Sam's who testified today, only met twice with Biden. But 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:56.320 he was saying, oh, it's a conspiracy theory if you 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.960 dare talk about his cognitive state. And Mike Howell pras 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.520 And of the Oversight Project is pointing out that Biden's 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:08.440 own Justice Department was warning directly that these last minute 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.520 of pardons and commutations were not going to be legal, 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:16.079 and he lists four specific reasons why, and nobody paid 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.520 attention to them. And on top of that, the FBI 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.040 director Cash Pattel said there was no constitutional basis, no 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.440 lawful predicate for Biden's Justice Department and FBI to carry 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.400 out the rate at mar A Lago. There's a lot 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.040 going on. Everything that we had been reporting on seems 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.560 to be, you know, more and more evidence is coming 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.640 out every day that it was all true. Your reaction 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:37.640 all of it sean. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.640 There certainly had a lot going on in this front, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:44.000 and I think it's important that the Democratic politicians and 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:48.080 the bureaucrats who perpetuated the Russia collusion hoax are being 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.160 exposed and will be held accountable. Some of them, it 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:54.080 seems like, from what I've learned, may be held criminally 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:59.320 accountable in certain cases. But we also have the important 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:03.639 reforms that Tulsa Gabbard announced this week. The d and 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:08.600 I has grown bloated and bureaucratic from its original intent 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.600 of Congress twenty years ago. This is something she and 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.040 I discussed in our first conversation after President Trump nominated her. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:18.040 We both addressed her confirmation hearings and at my committee. 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.680 The Intelligence Committee passed legislation to help implement a couple 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.480 months ago that expect to pass Congress later this year. 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.240 I mean, the D and I does not collect intelligence, 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.959 They don't have agents running around the world. They don't 0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:33.040 have satellites. They're supposed to be a coordinating function. They're 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.640 not supposed to be involved in politicizing intelligence, really giving 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.400 directives on how agencies use their own internal assets. But 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.040 when you have as many people as the D and 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.360 I has had in recent years, it does open up 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.480 the possibility of mishift making. When people don't have legitimate 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:53.120 intelligence functions and responsibilities on the plate, then they start 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:56.240 cooking up the kind of things that justify their jobs 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.040 and their budgets and so forth. So what Director Gabbard 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:01.680 announced this week is an important first step. We've been 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.360 working with her closely. Some of the problems with the 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.240 D and I, I'll confess, Sean, there's the problems of 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.480 Congress over the last twenty years imposing new mandates on them, 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.760 creating centers that are superfluous or not related to intelligence 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.520 at all. And it's going to take our legislation to 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.440 eliminate those offices and those centers so that D and 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.200 I can get back to its original focus of ensuring 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.640 that intelligence is coordinated across all the agencies while letting 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.120 those agencies do their primary job. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.599 What do you make of Tulsea's declassification and what we 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:37.000 learned as it relates to the twenty sixteen election. And 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.000 I asked her the other night on TV, I said, so, 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:46.240 is it your assessment that what happened in twenty sixteen 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:51.240 is that deep state actors tried to use phony information 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.920 about a Russia connection to Donald Trump that they knew 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.960 didn't exist, so that it would help teller he win 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.760 the election. And do you believe that after they lost 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:05.280 the election and senior career intelligence officials ascertained with their 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.520 intelligence analysis that there was no Trump Russia collusion and 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.000 that Obama and his top lieutenants didn't like that assessment, 0:05:13.400 --> 0:05:15.400 and they came up with a new assessment that said 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.000 just the opposite, And then they used the dirty Russian 0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:21.720 disinformation dossier that was bought and paid for by Hillary 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.159 to write a new assessment to make Donald Trump look bad. 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.039 What do you make of all of that? Is that 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:27.760 criminal to you? 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:33.240 Sean? From what Telsea Gabbers released and as well what 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.520 John Ratcliff at the CIA is released, and that comes 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:40.640 from senior career intelligence officials at the CIA, it appears 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.360 that this rock came from the Democratic political appointees. In fact, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.800 one of the batches of releases from the d and 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.800 I about a month ago showed that you had career 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:57.800 officials who are pushing back against Jim Clapper and against 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.640 John Brennan and against Jim Comey, saying they shouldn't proceed. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.160 So in some ways, it's the intelligence officials that were 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.800 trying to protect the reputation and integrity of their own 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:12.400 work and their agencies against these democratic political appointees. I 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.680 think that's what took a lot of people, or what 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.760 struck a lot of people, is that it really started 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.040 at the top. And it seems that Sean had frankly 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:21.960 gone all the way up to the very top with 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:25.719 Barack Obama in the transition period of twenty sixteen and 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:30.600 twenty seventeen, and it's proven out by FBI investigation and 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.800 with the Department of Justice prosecutors, and any of these 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.920 people were involved in violating the law, then certainly if 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.360 the statue of limitations has not run, then they would 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:42.520 face criminal liability as they should for engaging in criminal misconduct. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.800 Well, I mean, when you think of all of that, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.920 and then you factor in if in fact we have 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:52.560 deep state powerful actors that are used in the intelligence community, 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.000 and what should be the greatest law enforcement agency in 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:02.200 the entire world, the FBI, and they're putting cinder blocks 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.600 on the scales of elections. I would argue they did 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.159 the same thing in twenty twenty because the FBI knew 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:12.280 that Rudy Giuliani's attorney, Bob Costello, had a copy of 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:16.360 Hunter Biden's laptop. They knew that story would break. They 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:20.480 verified the authenticity of the laptop in March of twenty twenty. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.920 They went about the process in the summer of twenty 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.360 twenty of meeting with big tech companies every single week, 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.520 warning them they may be victims of a disinformation campaign. 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.920 It may be about Hunter, it may be about Joe Biden. 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.320 And then sure enough the story breaks and Mark Zuckerberg 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:42.640 of Meta, then Facebook, and Jack Dorsey of then Twitter, 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.600 you know, call and say, is this what you were 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.880 warning us about? And they would not tell them what 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.760 they knew to be true, that it was authentic, that 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.280 it was real, that they had verified. Such is that 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.320 putting cinder blocks on the scale of an election. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.120 It certainly sounds like a Sean And it is really 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.600 important that we get to the bottom of all this, 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:05.920 that all appropriate material is declassified and released. Because it's 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.200 not enough just to have people like Pambondi and Cash 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.520 Betel in charge now and be confident that this is 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:13.720 not going to happen again, at least for the next 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.560 three and a half years. It really is necessary to 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.200 expose what happened and hold those people to account, even 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.680 if let's say a statute imitations has exposed, hold them 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:27.720 publicly to account so it never happens again. So no 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.040 unelected bureaucrat or no democratic appointee in the future thinks 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.640 that they can use law enforcement or intelligence agencies to 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.520 influence domestic politics here in America. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:42.240 It's pretty unbelievable. And you know now that we're learning 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:46.040 from Cash Battel that the FBI rate on Marl Lago. 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:51.360 Literally he determined that it was illegal, and he said, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:55.120 now's the time for accountability, said there was no constitutional basis, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.480 no lawful predicgated for it. And then, of course, on 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.520 one of the top stories of the day, the President 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.440 now celebrating his victory over the you know, over Letitia 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.360 James and this ridiculous settlement of five hundred and fifteen 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:13.760 million dollars as it you know, relates to a mortgage 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.960 case which is unprecedented, and a judge that you know, 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.840 stood by evaluation of mar a lago of eighteen million 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.520 dollars when it's when it's a billion to a billion 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.920 and a half dollars. And they got away with all 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.720 of that, and all of the other law fair the 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.160 novel legal theory of Alvin Bragg, the rate of mar 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.720 A Lago, all of these things combined. I mean to me, 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:38.079 that's more election interference. That's more that their job then 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.600 was to bloody up Donald Trump, to make him, you know, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.640 not to make render him not a viable candidate for president. 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.200 Of my view, you got se sean to borrow fraise 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.760 from our democratic friends. It sounds to me like a 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.080 threat to democracy. And it's so funny that they always 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.000 levy that charge against President Trump and against us, when 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:02.559 they're the ones who, again, over the last ten years, 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:08.080 have rapidly used law enforcements and litigation to try to 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.720 tar Donald Trump, to try to convict him and imprison 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.360 him for the rest of his life, or in the 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.240 case that was just overturned today, to find him a 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.000 half billion dollars for what Shawan taking out loans that 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.280 he repaid. I remember when that judgment first came down 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.240 last year. I was talking to a farmer in Arkansas 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.560 and he's like, what are they even talking about up there? 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.920 You take out a loan, you repay it all. Who's 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.240 the victim? I bet the banks are happy, And they 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.480 weren't happy, of course. 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:35.240 Well that was the case. I mean it was in 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.079 the case of the non disclosure agreement. It was a 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.560 legal non disclosure agreement. It was put together by a lawyer. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.199 It was labeled the legal expense. The statute of limitations 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.600 had run out. It was a misdemeanor to begin with 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:49.760 in the state of New York, even though the statute 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:53.160 of limitations had run out. And then to come up 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.440 with this novel legal theory and then send the third 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.559 highest ranking DOJ official from the Biden Justice Department to 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.280 help out. Alvin Bragg tells me they wanted that conviction 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:07.120 as badly again, to bloody of Trump and render him unelectable. 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.880 Yeah. Now, fortunately Sean at backfired on them. But again 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.560 it's just an example of how they need to be 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.440 exposed so this never happens again. LISTA. You know they 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.120 had a legal theory that gussied up what was a 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.760 misdemeanor into a family. They never even adequately explained the 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:25.000 legal theory. The liberal judge that presided over this case 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.080 and allowed the conviction to go forward, or allowed the 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.400 case to go to a jury at all, never explained 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.600 the legal theory period. They would were willing to break 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.600 any rule, any procedure, any custom, all an effort to 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.480 get Trump to bankrupt him, to convict him, to imprison them. 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.360 Thank goodness, the American people saw through it all and 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:44.240 did not allow it to influence their choice in the 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:45.120 election last year. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.520 All right, quick break, we'll come back more with Senator 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:52.200 Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas as we continue with him, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.320 and then John Solomon is breaking news regarding James Comey 0:11:55.559 --> 0:12:02.640 and the leaking of intelligence and information classified information. He 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.040 feels he has smoking gun evidence. He'll share that with 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.840 us at the bottom of the hour. Well, full coverage 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.240 of all of this on Hannity tonight on the Fox 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:14.000 News Channel. Quick Break right back will continue, probably continue 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.199 now with Senator Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas's with us. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.000 You know, a lot of people listening to this show 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.360 will think back and they'll remember investigations that we've had. 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.160 You know, Hillary Clinton's dirty bought and paid for dossier. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.280 James call me protecting Hillary with you know, no reasonable 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.720 prosecutor would prosecute. But then, of course a double standard 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.120 occurred when mar Lago got raided and she did not 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.480 have the protections that Donald Trump did with the with 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:46.880 the Presidential Authorization Act, where he had access to these papers, 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.320 she never had the ability to take them with her. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.800 The same with Joe Biden. Again, a double standard, a 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:56.640 dual justice system. And I just wonder, you know, and 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.000 I know my audience is wondering because everybody I talked 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.360 who says, do you think something's going to happen this time? 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.760 Are people really going to be held accountable for what 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:05.520 they've done here? 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.600 Shawn, I am because I have confidence in Cash detail 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:12.440 in Pam Bondy to follow the law and to not 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:16.600 break the rules the Democrats did while being aggressive within 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:19.880 the law. And SHAWNA, I predict that if charges are 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:24.199 brought against any of these thirty Democratic players, and they 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.560 happen to happen to involve the charges that are so 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.280 often been broughtienst Republicans over the past several decades, lying 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.200 to Congress, lying the federal investigators, substruction of justice. You're 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.880 going to hear wailing and crying from Democrats and from 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.800 liberals in the media about how this happens all the time, 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.760 and these are not serious actions and they're engaged in 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:47.600 legal warfare. When it's aok against Donald Trump or for 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.840 that matter, against Ronald Reagan's appointees or against George W. 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.280 Bush's appointees, it was all fine and dandy back then, 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.760 and it was a matter of high principle. But when 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:58.960 it's going when the shoes on the other foot and 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.040 Democrats are being held accountable for things like lying to 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.400 federal investigators or obstruction of justice or conspiracy against civil rights, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.040 then all of a sudden, those charges are not going 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:09.840 to be serious at all in the case where everyone 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.320 does it and Donald Trump's doj under Pam Mandy and 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.800 Cash Retail is engaging in that ragious misconduct conduct. Just 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:18.200 mark mark my work, Sean when you hear that. But 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:21.240 I'm confident that Pam and Cash, if there are legal 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.240 legal case to be made and it's colorable under the 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.880 law and under precedent, will move forward to hold these 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:27.800 people accountable. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.880 It is amazing that these you know all this information 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.200 that they didn't get rid of it. These burn bags 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.680 they left them there. This information, this paper trail, they 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.040 left it there. They're supposed to be so clever and 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.200 so smart, you would think they would have covered their 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.200 own tracks. But the discoveries that they're making every day, 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:49.560 you know, I'll frankly take my breath away. And as 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.320 somebody who reported on all of these issues, I spent 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:57.960 you know, four years of my life reporting on Russia, Russia, Russia, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.920 and even stands beyond that it is, it is kind 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:05.360 of breathtaking. But Senator Tom Cott, we always appreciate you 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.200 being with us. Thank you, sir. Eight hundred nine four 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:09.800 one Shawn.

We welcome back the founder, 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:56.720 editor in chief, chief investigative reporter Justinnews dot com, John Solomon. 0:16:57.240 --> 0:16:59.400 I will tell you, in the last three four weeks 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.720 he has been on a tear breaking one big story 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:07.120 after another. I brought up a lot of news earlier, 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:09.479 not the least of which is the President scoring that 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:13.359 massive legal victory as an appeals court tossed out that 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:18.440 ridiculous half a billion dollar judgment that New York Attorney 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:23.239 General Letitia James and Judge Ertuwan, who still to this 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.240 day thinks mar A Lago's just worth a mere eighteen 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:30.040 million when it's well over a billion dollars. The FBI 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:33.760 director Cash Bettel has determined the Biden FBI's mar A 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:38.000 Lago raid was illegal. As I said earlier in the program, 0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:42.560 you have a top Justice Department prosecutor hinting that the 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:47.840 New York Attorney General could avoid prosecution on mortgage fraud charges. 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:53.879 Interesting investigations going on between her and Adam Schiff and 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.840 Adam Shifts. By the way, you know, last minute pardon 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.359 may be brought into question as well the President going 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.679 out and you know on on patrol in DC, if 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:06.439 you will, Pam Bondi will join us tonight on Hannity 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.040 to talk about that part. But we just have breaking 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:12.040 at this moment on top of all of the news 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:17.000 we've had today, John Solomon, I'm just looking at this report. 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:23.760 Prosecutors have secured evidence about James Comy, mister higher honor 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:29.280 himself that he authorized classified leagues, but what they declined charges. 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.040 And I'll let John tell you the story himself, because 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:35.240 he did all the deep digging and hard work and 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.040 he found all the evidence, and it looks like we 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.800 have bombshell revelations from all I can see here. 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.879 John, Yeah, this is a very big moment. This is 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.160 one of the deepest, darkest secrets that have been locked 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:48.840 up in the vaults of the FBI and the Justice Department. 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.560 Into the credit of Cash Btel, who dug these documents 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.639 up and got them, and then to the credit of 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.879 Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, who worked hard to lift 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:04.000 redactions heavily were adacted documents. We now know for certain 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:08.240 that federal prosecutors ascertained evidence from the top lieutenants of 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:13.440 James Comy that James Comy had leaked classified authorized the 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.959 leak of classified information to The New York Times. One 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.360 of those leaks right before the election, clearly a leak 0:19:19.440 --> 0:19:24.480 designed to influence the election in twenty sixteen. And I 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.800 want to remind everybody to a famous moment right around 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.080 the time that President Trump fired James Combe as the 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:35.120 FBI director, he was brought before the Senate Judiciary Committee 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:39.560 and Chuck Grassley pinned James Comy down. He was asked 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:46.080 by by Chuck Grassey, did you ever have you ever 0:19:46.119 --> 0:19:48.679 been in an anonymous source of news reports and matters relating 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.680 to the Trump investigation of the Clinton investigation? He answered never. 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.399 Grassy then said did you ever authorize anyone else to 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.280 be an anonymous source on these topics? He said no, 0:19:57.840 --> 0:19:59.840 and whether? And then he was asked us any cast 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.960 of information relating to President Trumper's associates ever declassified or 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:08.240 shared with journalists and Comby said not to my knowledge. 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:09.720 In fact, he went out to say, I think leaks 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.520 are a problem. Well, let's tell you what. The Postal 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:16.400 Inspection Service and federal prosecutors found when they looked at 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.320 that testimony and looked at a very specific leak to 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:24.640 the New York Times. They concluded that based on eyewitness 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:28.480 testimony from James Baker, the former chief counsel to James 0:20:28.480 --> 0:20:32.760 Comy at the FBI, Baker admitted he disclosed US government 0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.760 classified information to the New York Times, and he did 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.359 so because he had been instructed and authorized to do 0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:42.399 so by then FBI Director James Comy, and he lays 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:46.160 out how the instruction came down. Comy tells his cheapestaff 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.879 James Rabicki, James Rebake tells Baker go leak it, and 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:52.320 then Baker goes leaks it to the New York Times. 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:58.320 That seems to directly contradict, directly contradict the testimony of 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:01.800 James Comy in seventeen something that's well outside the statute 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.960 of limitations. But what isn't outside the statute of limitations 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.640 is a knowing and willful and intentional leak of national 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:13.640 security information. There are certain statutes in certain conditions where 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.040 someone can be charged up to ten years after a 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.680 classified leak if it's knowing in wilfold. Certainly, what Baker 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.639 and Roubickie are talking about is comy knowing what he 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.679 was doing and having people downstream from him do the 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.120 dirty work. This is a bombshell. It is big. It's 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:31.879 in FBI documents. We just put the documents up on 0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:35.000 our website. Everybody can read them with their own eyes. Now, 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:37.920 what did we learn about why we didn't get accountability 0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:41.520 before this? It turns out that multiple people looked at this, 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.640 including the US Attorney's office in Washington, d C. Under 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:49.959 Donald Trump's first term, and the former Special Prosecutor John Durman. 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:53.719 In both cases, they decided not to bring criminal charges 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.199 even though they had this pretty clear case of a 0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:58.040 leak and an admission of a leak and who was 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.639 involved and who approved it. We're gonna have a lot 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.280 of fall up peop were going to wonder why did 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.439 that happen? Who made those decisions in Is there anything 0:22:05.480 --> 0:22:08.800 Pam BONDI can do now to resurrect this case and 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:10.760 bring justice. You'll get a chance, I guess to ask 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:11.920 her about it tonight on your show. 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.560 Well, let me ask you to answer your own question. 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:19.439 I mean, the obvious answer would be yes, if the 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:22.480 statute of limitations have not run out, if you purposely 0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:26.560 are leaking classified information and you're saying the smoking of 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:28.880 gun evidence and it's in writing. 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:32.560
