Speaker 1: All right, News round up and Information Overload hour. Here's
Speaker 1: our toll free telephone number if you want to be
Speaker 1: a part of the program. We welcome back Senator Tom Cotton.
Speaker 1: He released a statement on the Director of National Intelligence
Speaker 1: TULSEI Gabbard's announcement. He said, Congress created the Office of
Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence to be a lean organization that
Speaker 1: used small staffs to coordinate across the intelligence community execute
Speaker 1: specific important tasks. And today's announcement, remember earlier in the
Speaker 1: week shoes on Hannity and they took away thirty seven
Speaker 1: security clearances, number one and number two. They're cutting back
Speaker 1: the size and scope of what the organization is because
Speaker 1: they've gotten away from their original intent. He said, it
Speaker 1: will make the dn I stronger, more effective for national
Speaker 1: security for the President. I look forward to working with
Speaker 1: Director Gabbard to implement these reforms and provide the ODNI
Speaker 1: with legislative relief necessary to ensure our intelligence community can
Speaker 1: focus on its core mission, and that is stealing secrets
Speaker 1: from our adversaries. Anyway, Senator Cotton, great to have you back.
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. A lot of news
Speaker 1: that is unfolding as it relates to the Deep State.
Speaker 1: John Solomon will be with us at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the hour, and his report on James Comy is very
Speaker 1: breathtaking in terms of they have smoking gun evidence according
Speaker 1: to John, that in fact, there were purposeful leaks of
Speaker 1: classified information to reporters coming from Comy directly himself. He's
Speaker 1: going to lay out the case. He's got all the documents,
Speaker 1: he put him up on his website. And then of
Speaker 1: course we have James Comer today finding out that, you know,
Speaker 1: with the most informative interview of his probe so far
Speaker 1: into this conspiracy that he only met twice, meaning Ian
Speaker 1: Sam's who testified today, only met twice with Biden. But
Speaker 1: he was saying, oh, it's a conspiracy theory if you
Speaker 1: dare talk about his cognitive state. And Mike Howell pras
Speaker 1: And of the Oversight Project is pointing out that Biden's
Speaker 1: own Justice Department was warning directly that these last minute
Speaker 1: of pardons and commutations were not going to be legal,
Speaker 1: and he lists four specific reasons why, and nobody paid
Speaker 1: attention to them. And on top of that, the FBI
Speaker 1: director Cash Pattel said there was no constitutional basis, no
Speaker 1: lawful predicate for Biden's Justice Department and FBI to carry
Speaker 1: out the rate at mar A Lago. There's a lot
Speaker 1: going on. Everything that we had been reporting on seems
Speaker 1: to be, you know, more and more evidence is coming
Speaker 1: out every day that it was all true. Your reaction
Speaker 1: all of it sean.
Speaker 2: There certainly had a lot going on in this front,
Speaker 2: and I think it's important that the Democratic politicians and
Speaker 2: the bureaucrats who perpetuated the Russia collusion hoax are being
Speaker 2: exposed and will be held accountable. Some of them, it
Speaker 2: seems like, from what I've learned, may be held criminally
Speaker 2: accountable in certain cases. But we also have the important
Speaker 2: reforms that Tulsa Gabbard announced this week. The d and
Speaker 2: I has grown bloated and bureaucratic from its original intent
Speaker 2: of Congress twenty years ago. This is something she and
Speaker 2: I discussed in our first conversation after President Trump nominated her.
Speaker 2: We both addressed her confirmation hearings and at my committee.
Speaker 2: The Intelligence Committee passed legislation to help implement a couple
Speaker 2: months ago that expect to pass Congress later this year.
Speaker 2: I mean, the D and I does not collect intelligence,
Speaker 2: They don't have agents running around the world. They don't
Speaker 2: have satellites. They're supposed to be a coordinating function. They're
Speaker 2: not supposed to be involved in politicizing intelligence, really giving
Speaker 2: directives on how agencies use their own internal assets. But
Speaker 2: when you have as many people as the D and
Speaker 2: I has had in recent years, it does open up
Speaker 2: the possibility of mishift making. When people don't have legitimate
Speaker 2: intelligence functions and responsibilities on the plate, then they start
Speaker 2: cooking up the kind of things that justify their jobs
Speaker 2: and their budgets and so forth. So what Director Gabbard
Speaker 2: announced this week is an important first step. We've been
Speaker 2: working with her closely. Some of the problems with the
Speaker 2: D and I, I'll confess, Sean, there's the problems of
Speaker 2: Congress over the last twenty years imposing new mandates on them,
Speaker 2: creating centers that are superfluous or not related to intelligence
Speaker 2: at all. And it's going to take our legislation to
Speaker 2: eliminate those offices and those centers so that D and
Speaker 2: I can get back to its original focus of ensuring
Speaker 2: that intelligence is coordinated across all the agencies while letting
Speaker 2: those agencies do their primary job.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Tulsea's declassification and what we
Speaker 1: learned as it relates to the twenty sixteen election. And
Speaker 1: I asked her the other night on TV, I said, so,
Speaker 1: is it your assessment that what happened in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: is that deep state actors tried to use phony information
Speaker 1: about a Russia connection to Donald Trump that they knew
Speaker 1: didn't exist, so that it would help teller he win
Speaker 1: the election. And do you believe that after they lost
Speaker 1: the election and senior career intelligence officials ascertained with their
Speaker 1: intelligence analysis that there was no Trump Russia collusion and
Speaker 1: that Obama and his top lieutenants didn't like that assessment,
Speaker 1: and they came up with a new assessment that said
Speaker 1: just the opposite, And then they used the dirty Russian
Speaker 1: disinformation dossier that was bought and paid for by Hillary
Speaker 1: to write a new assessment to make Donald Trump look bad.
Speaker 1: What do you make of all of that? Is that
Speaker 1: criminal to you?
Speaker 2: Sean? From what Telsea Gabbers released and as well what
Speaker 2: John Ratcliff at the CIA is released, and that comes
Speaker 2: from senior career intelligence officials at the CIA, it appears
Speaker 2: that this rock came from the Democratic political appointees. In fact,
Speaker 2: one of the batches of releases from the d and
Speaker 2: I about a month ago showed that you had career
Speaker 2: officials who are pushing back against Jim Clapper and against
Speaker 2: John Brennan and against Jim Comey, saying they shouldn't proceed.
Speaker 2: So in some ways, it's the intelligence officials that were
Speaker 2: trying to protect the reputation and integrity of their own
Speaker 2: work and their agencies against these democratic political appointees. I
Speaker 2: think that's what took a lot of people, or what
Speaker 2: struck a lot of people, is that it really started
Speaker 2: at the top. And it seems that Sean had frankly
Speaker 2: gone all the way up to the very top with
Speaker 2: Barack Obama in the transition period of twenty sixteen and
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, and it's proven out by FBI investigation and
Speaker 2: with the Department of Justice prosecutors, and any of these
Speaker 2: people were involved in violating the law, then certainly if
Speaker 2: the statue of limitations has not run, then they would
Speaker 2: face criminal liability as they should for engaging in criminal misconduct.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, when you think of all of that,
Speaker 1: and then you factor in if in fact we have
Speaker 1: deep state powerful actors that are used in the intelligence community,
Speaker 1: and what should be the greatest law enforcement agency in
Speaker 1: the entire world, the FBI, and they're putting cinder blocks
Speaker 1: on the scales of elections. I would argue they did
Speaker 1: the same thing in twenty twenty because the FBI knew
Speaker 1: that Rudy Giuliani's attorney, Bob Costello, had a copy of
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's laptop. They knew that story would break. They
Speaker 1: verified the authenticity of the laptop in March of twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: They went about the process in the summer of twenty
Speaker 1: twenty of meeting with big tech companies every single week,
Speaker 1: warning them they may be victims of a disinformation campaign.
Speaker 1: It may be about Hunter, it may be about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: And then sure enough the story breaks and Mark Zuckerberg
Speaker 1: of Meta, then Facebook, and Jack Dorsey of then Twitter,
Speaker 1: you know, call and say, is this what you were
Speaker 1: warning us about? And they would not tell them what
Speaker 1: they knew to be true, that it was authentic, that
Speaker 1: it was real, that they had verified. Such is that
Speaker 1: putting cinder blocks on the scale of an election.
Speaker 2: It certainly sounds like a Sean And it is really
Speaker 2: important that we get to the bottom of all this,
Speaker 2: that all appropriate material is declassified and released. Because it's
Speaker 2: not enough just to have people like Pambondi and Cash
Speaker 2: Betel in charge now and be confident that this is
Speaker 2: not going to happen again, at least for the next
Speaker 2: three and a half years. It really is necessary to
Speaker 2: expose what happened and hold those people to account, even
Speaker 2: if let's say a statute imitations has exposed, hold them
Speaker 2: publicly to account so it never happens again. So no
Speaker 2: unelected bureaucrat or no democratic appointee in the future thinks
Speaker 2: that they can use law enforcement or intelligence agencies to
Speaker 2: influence domestic politics here in America.
Speaker 1: It's pretty unbelievable. And you know now that we're learning
Speaker 1: from Cash Battel that the FBI rate on Marl Lago.
Speaker 1: Literally he determined that it was illegal, and he said,
Speaker 1: now's the time for accountability, said there was no constitutional basis,
Speaker 1: no lawful predicgated for it. And then, of course, on
Speaker 1: one of the top stories of the day, the President
Speaker 1: now celebrating his victory over the you know, over Letitia
Speaker 1: James and this ridiculous settlement of five hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: million dollars as it you know, relates to a mortgage
Speaker 1: case which is unprecedented, and a judge that you know,
Speaker 1: stood by evaluation of mar a lago of eighteen million
Speaker 1: dollars when it's when it's a billion to a billion
Speaker 1: and a half dollars. And they got away with all
Speaker 1: of that, and all of the other law fair the
Speaker 1: novel legal theory of Alvin Bragg, the rate of mar
Speaker 1: A Lago, all of these things combined. I mean to me,
Speaker 1: that's more election interference. That's more that their job then
Speaker 1: was to bloody up Donald Trump, to make him, you know,
Speaker 1: not to make render him not a viable candidate for president.
Speaker 2: Of my view, you got se sean to borrow fraise
Speaker 2: from our democratic friends. It sounds to me like a
Speaker 2: threat to democracy. And it's so funny that they always
Speaker 2: levy that charge against President Trump and against us, when
Speaker 2: they're the ones who, again, over the last ten years,
Speaker 2: have rapidly used law enforcements and litigation to try to
Speaker 2: tar Donald Trump, to try to convict him and imprison
Speaker 2: him for the rest of his life, or in the
Speaker 2: case that was just overturned today, to find him a
Speaker 2: half billion dollars for what Shawan taking out loans that
Speaker 2: he repaid. I remember when that judgment first came down
Speaker 2: last year. I was talking to a farmer in Arkansas
Speaker 2: and he's like, what are they even talking about up there?
Speaker 2: You take out a loan, you repay it all. Who's
Speaker 2: the victim? I bet the banks are happy, And they
Speaker 2: weren't happy, of course.
Speaker 1: Well that was the case. I mean it was in
Speaker 1: the case of the non disclosure agreement. It was a
Speaker 1: legal non disclosure agreement. It was put together by a lawyer.
Speaker 1: It was labeled the legal expense. The statute of limitations
Speaker 1: had run out. It was a misdemeanor to begin with
Speaker 1: in the state of New York, even though the statute
Speaker 1: of limitations had run out. And then to come up
Speaker 1: with this novel legal theory and then send the third
Speaker 1: highest ranking DOJ official from the Biden Justice Department to
Speaker 1: help out. Alvin Bragg tells me they wanted that conviction
Speaker 1: as badly again, to bloody of Trump and render him unelectable.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, fortunately Sean at backfired on them. But again
Speaker 2: it's just an example of how they need to be
Speaker 2: exposed so this never happens again. LISTA. You know they
Speaker 2: had a legal theory that gussied up what was a
Speaker 2: misdemeanor into a family. They never even adequately explained the
Speaker 2: legal theory. The liberal judge that presided over this case
Speaker 2: and allowed the conviction to go forward, or allowed the
Speaker 2: case to go to a jury at all, never explained
Speaker 2: the legal theory period. They would were willing to break
Speaker 2: any rule, any procedure, any custom, all an effort to
Speaker 2: get Trump to bankrupt him, to convict him, to imprison them.
Speaker 2: Thank goodness, the American people saw through it all and
Speaker 2: did not allow it to influence their choice in the
Speaker 2: election last year.
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, we'll come back more with Senator
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas as we continue with him,
Speaker 1: and then John Solomon is breaking news regarding James Comey
Speaker 1: and the leaking of intelligence and information classified information. He
Speaker 1: feels he has smoking gun evidence. He'll share that with
Speaker 1: us at the bottom of the hour. Well, full coverage
Speaker 1: of all of this on Hannity tonight on the Fox
Speaker 1: News Channel. Quick Break right back will continue, probably continue
Speaker 1: now with Senator Tom Cotton, Great State of Arkansas's with us.
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people listening to this show
Speaker 1: will think back and they'll remember investigations that we've had.
Speaker 1: You know, Hillary Clinton's dirty bought and paid for dossier.
Speaker 1: James call me protecting Hillary with you know, no reasonable
Speaker 1: prosecutor would prosecute. But then, of course a double standard
Speaker 1: occurred when mar Lago got raided and she did not
Speaker 1: have the protections that Donald Trump did with the with
Speaker 1: the Presidential Authorization Act, where he had access to these papers,
Speaker 1: she never had the ability to take them with her.
Speaker 1: The same with Joe Biden. Again, a double standard, a
Speaker 1: dual justice system. And I just wonder, you know, and
Speaker 1: I know my audience is wondering because everybody I talked
Speaker 1: who says, do you think something's going to happen this time?
Speaker 1: Are people really going to be held accountable for what
Speaker 1: they've done here?
Speaker 2: Shawn, I am because I have confidence in Cash detail
Speaker 2: in Pam Bondy to follow the law and to not
Speaker 2: break the rules the Democrats did while being aggressive within
Speaker 2: the law. And SHAWNA, I predict that if charges are
Speaker 2: brought against any of these thirty Democratic players, and they
Speaker 2: happen to happen to involve the charges that are so
Speaker 2: often been broughtienst Republicans over the past several decades, lying
Speaker 2: to Congress, lying the federal investigators, substruction of justice. You're
Speaker 2: going to hear wailing and crying from Democrats and from
Speaker 2: liberals in the media about how this happens all the time,
Speaker 2: and these are not serious actions and they're engaged in
Speaker 2: legal warfare. When it's aok against Donald Trump or for
Speaker 2: that matter, against Ronald Reagan's appointees or against George W.
Speaker 2: Bush's appointees, it was all fine and dandy back then,
Speaker 2: and it was a matter of high principle. But when
Speaker 2: it's going when the shoes on the other foot and
Speaker 2: Democrats are being held accountable for things like lying to
Speaker 2: federal investigators or obstruction of justice or conspiracy against civil rights,
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, those charges are not going
Speaker 2: to be serious at all in the case where everyone
Speaker 2: does it and Donald Trump's doj under Pam Mandy and
Speaker 2: Cash Retail is engaging in that ragious misconduct conduct. Just
Speaker 2: mark mark my work, Sean when you hear that. But
Speaker 2: I'm confident that Pam and Cash, if there are legal
Speaker 2: legal case to be made and it's colorable under the
Speaker 2: law and under precedent, will move forward to hold these
Speaker 2: people accountable.
Speaker 1: It is amazing that these you know all this information
Speaker 1: that they didn't get rid of it. These burn bags
Speaker 1: they left them there. This information, this paper trail, they
Speaker 1: left it there. They're supposed to be so clever and
Speaker 1: so smart, you would think they would have covered their
Speaker 1: own tracks. But the discoveries that they're making every day,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll frankly take my breath away. And as
Speaker 1: somebody who reported on all of these issues, I spent
Speaker 1: you know, four years of my life reporting on Russia, Russia, Russia,
Speaker 1: and even stands beyond that it is, it is kind
Speaker 1: of breathtaking. But Senator Tom Cott, we always appreciate you
Speaker 1: being with us. Thank you, sir. Eight hundred nine four
Speaker 1: one Shawn. If you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program, I'm twenty five now till the top of

Speaker 1: editor in chief, chief investigative reporter Justinnews dot com, John Solomon.
Speaker 1: I will tell you, in the last three four weeks
Speaker 1: he has been on a tear breaking one big story
Speaker 1: after another. I brought up a lot of news earlier,
Speaker 1: not the least of which is the President scoring that
Speaker 1: massive legal victory as an appeals court tossed out that
Speaker 1: ridiculous half a billion dollar judgment that New York Attorney
Speaker 1: General Letitia James and Judge Ertuwan, who still to this
Speaker 1: day thinks mar A Lago's just worth a mere eighteen
Speaker 1: million when it's well over a billion dollars. The FBI
Speaker 1: director Cash Bettel has determined the Biden FBI's mar A
Speaker 1: Lago raid was illegal. As I said earlier in the program,
Speaker 1: you have a top Justice Department prosecutor hinting that the
Speaker 1: New York Attorney General could avoid prosecution on mortgage fraud charges.
Speaker 1: Interesting investigations going on between her and Adam Schiff and
Speaker 1: Adam Shifts. By the way, you know, last minute pardon
Speaker 1: may be brought into question as well the President going
Speaker 1: out and you know on on patrol in DC, if
Speaker 1: you will, Pam Bondi will join us tonight on Hannity
Speaker 1: to talk about that part. But we just have breaking
Speaker 1: at this moment on top of all of the news
Speaker 1: we've had today, John Solomon, I'm just looking at this report.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors have secured evidence about James Comy, mister higher honor
Speaker 1: himself that he authorized classified leagues, but what they declined charges.
Speaker 1: And I'll let John tell you the story himself, because
Speaker 1: he did all the deep digging and hard work and
Speaker 1: he found all the evidence, and it looks like we
Speaker 1: have bombshell revelations from all I can see here.
Speaker 3: John, Yeah, this is a very big moment. This is
Speaker 3: one of the deepest, darkest secrets that have been locked
Speaker 3: up in the vaults of the FBI and the Justice Department.
Speaker 3: Into the credit of Cash Btel, who dug these documents
Speaker 3: up and got them, and then to the credit of
Speaker 3: Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, who worked hard to lift
Speaker 3: redactions heavily were adacted documents. We now know for certain
Speaker 3: that federal prosecutors ascertained evidence from the top lieutenants of
Speaker 3: James Comy that James Comy had leaked classified authorized the
Speaker 3: leak of classified information to The New York Times. One
Speaker 3: of those leaks right before the election, clearly a leak
Speaker 3: designed to influence the election in twenty sixteen. And I
Speaker 3: want to remind everybody to a famous moment right around
Speaker 3: the time that President Trump fired James Combe as the
Speaker 3: FBI director, he was brought before the Senate Judiciary Committee
Speaker 3: and Chuck Grassley pinned James Comy down. He was asked
Speaker 3: by by Chuck Grassey, did you ever have you ever
Speaker 3: been in an anonymous source of news reports and matters relating
Speaker 3: to the Trump investigation of the Clinton investigation? He answered never.
Speaker 3: Grassy then said did you ever authorize anyone else to
Speaker 3: be an anonymous source on these topics? He said no,
Speaker 3: and whether? And then he was asked us any cast
Speaker 3: of information relating to President Trumper's associates ever declassified or
Speaker 3: shared with journalists and Comby said not to my knowledge.
Speaker 3: In fact, he went out to say, I think leaks
Speaker 3: are a problem. Well, let's tell you what. The Postal
Speaker 3: Inspection Service and federal prosecutors found when they looked at
Speaker 3: that testimony and looked at a very specific leak to
Speaker 3: the New York Times. They concluded that based on eyewitness
Speaker 3: testimony from James Baker, the former chief counsel to James
Speaker 3: Comy at the FBI, Baker admitted he disclosed US government
Speaker 3: classified information to the New York Times, and he did
Speaker 3: so because he had been instructed and authorized to do
Speaker 3: so by then FBI Director James Comy, and he lays
Speaker 3: out how the instruction came down. Comy tells his cheapestaff
Speaker 3: James Rabicki, James Rebake tells Baker go leak it, and
Speaker 3: then Baker goes leaks it to the New York Times.
Speaker 3: That seems to directly contradict, directly contradict the testimony of
Speaker 3: James Comy in seventeen something that's well outside the statute
Speaker 3: of limitations. But what isn't outside the statute of limitations
Speaker 3: is a knowing and willful and intentional leak of national
Speaker 3: security information. There are certain statutes in certain conditions where
Speaker 3: someone can be charged up to ten years after a
Speaker 3: classified leak if it's knowing in wilfold. Certainly, what Baker
Speaker 3: and Roubickie are talking about is comy knowing what he
Speaker 3: was doing and having people downstream from him do the
Speaker 3: dirty work. This is a bombshell. It is big. It's
Speaker 3: in FBI documents. We just put the documents up on
Speaker 3: our website. Everybody can read them with their own eyes. Now,
Speaker 3: what did we learn about why we didn't get accountability
Speaker 3: before this? It turns out that multiple people looked at this,
Speaker 3: including the US Attorney's office in Washington, d C. Under
Speaker 3: Donald Trump's first term, and the former Special Prosecutor John Durman.
Speaker 3: In both cases, they decided not to bring criminal charges
Speaker 3: even though they had this pretty clear case of a
Speaker 3: leak and an admission of a leak and who was
Speaker 3: involved and who approved it. We're gonna have a lot
Speaker 3: of fall up peop were going to wonder why did
Speaker 3: that happen? Who made those decisions in Is there anything
Speaker 3: Pam BONDI can do now to resurrect this case and
Speaker 3: bring justice. You'll get a chance, I guess to ask
Speaker 3: her about it tonight on your show.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you to answer your own question.
Speaker 1: I mean, the obvious answer would be yes, if the
Speaker 1: statute of limitations have not run out, if you purposely
Speaker 1: are leaking classified information and you're saying the smoking of
Speaker 1: gun evidence and it's in writing.
Speaker 3: It is in writing. Yeah. The US Postal Inspection Service
Speaker 3: was brought in to assist this investigation since the FBI
Speaker 3: couldn't investigate itself. It is clear in this summary memo
Speaker 3: that the investigation established that James Baker did leak the
Speaker 3: information that James Coomy, through James or VICKI told him
Speaker 3: to do it. Now they decided not to charge Baker
Speaker 3: and Vicky, the two top lieutenants, but it is silent
Speaker 3: on the issue of why the authorizer himself, James Comey,
Speaker 3: wasn't considered for charges. I think that's something we got
Speaker 3: to do more work on. It's gonna take us some time.
Speaker 3: There are still some redactions in these documents. There's still
Speaker 3: some classified information that we can't see. There will be
Speaker 3: lots of things that will, but there is a portion
Speaker 3: of the Internal Security Act of nineteen fifty that does
Speaker 3: extend a statute out to ten years. The things we
Speaker 3: have to know which we can't tell from this is
Speaker 3: what was exactly the classified piece of information. Is there
Speaker 3: any scenario where James Comby could be classify it himself
Speaker 3: or did someone above him, Did a Barack Obama or
Speaker 3: a James Brennan or John Brennan or someone else tell
Speaker 3: him to leak the information? We don't know that from
Speaker 3: these memos, but we do know one thing. There was
Speaker 3: pretty darn good evidence to say James Commey didn't tell
Speaker 3: Congress the truth and there was a classified leak that
Speaker 3: occurred in his inner circle, reportedly in these documents, flatly
Speaker 3: stating James Comy himself approved that leak.
Speaker 1: What do you make I mean when you put all
Speaker 1: all of this together, and for example, what Tulsey Gabbard
Speaker 1: was able to declassify. We learned, for example, that senior
Speaker 1: career intelligence officials had determined that there was no Trump
Speaker 1: Russia collusion. That was an early day. They concluded that
Speaker 1: after the twenty sixteen election, we could backtrack a little
Speaker 1: bit and we could say, okay, there was no real
Speaker 1: reason why James Comey stepped up and said no reasonable
Speaker 1: prosecutor would prosecute, knowing the evidence was very overwhelming and
Speaker 1: incontrovertible as it relates to Hillary Clinton having top secret
Speaker 1: classified information on our servers in an attempt to cover
Speaker 1: it up by using bleach bit to acid wash the
Speaker 1: servers and destroying devices with hammers and removing sim cards.
Speaker 1: Then James Comy's involvement. He signed three of the four
Speaker 1: FISA warrants, even though correct me if my timeline is wrong,
Speaker 1: even though he was wrong. He was warned in August
Speaker 1: of twenty sixteen not to use the dirty Russian disinformation
Speaker 1: dossier that Hillary paid for, which became the bulk of
Speaker 1: information for the four PISA warrants, and they definitively knew
Speaker 1: not to use it by December of twenty sixteen, and
Speaker 1: James Comy was responsible for putting his signature on the
Speaker 1: first three PISA warrants. And there is a law, as
Speaker 1: Greg Jared has pointed out many many times, that says,
Speaker 1: if you give false information to a PHIZA court and
Speaker 1: you discover it immediately, your job is to go back
Speaker 1: to the court and tell them the information that you
Speaker 1: had presented to the court turned out to be false.
Speaker 1: They didn't do that. It seems like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of legal vulnerability for James Comy. So maybe when I
Speaker 1: said back in twenty sixteen, seventeen and eighteen, and we're
Speaker 1: doing Russia, Russia, Russia every day, and you are such
Speaker 1: a big part of the coverage. I said, James Komy,
Speaker 1: just remember you have the right to remain silent. Maybe
Speaker 1: I wasn't so wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, maybe you should listened to a few more
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift songs and maybe not done so many leaks.
Speaker 3: We'll see, Yeah, listen. I think today is a day
Speaker 3: to take a pause and realize how much the steel
Speaker 3: curtain that kept us from understanding the weaponization machinery has broken,
Speaker 3: and particularly in just the last few weeks, but certainly
Speaker 3: over the last three or four years. We now know
Speaker 3: that the verdict against President Trump in the civil case
Speaker 3: was unconstitutional. We knew it, but now we have a
Speaker 3: court saying it. We know that there were massive leaks.
Speaker 3: We know the intelligence community hijacked an assessment and tried
Speaker 3: to come to a false collusion to carry out a
Speaker 3: political outcome. We know that Hillary Clinton authorized the whole
Speaker 3: Russia collusion hoax, and that the FBI knew in advance,
Speaker 3: and so did President Obama, that she had authorized this
Speaker 3: dirty trick. Instill The FBI and the US Intelligence Committee
Speaker 3: participated in that dirty trick, legitimized that dirty trick dragged
Speaker 3: the country through three and a half years of unnecessary
Speaker 3: turmoil over a scandal that never had as John Durham
Speaker 3: told us, and I owed of evidence to back it up.
Speaker 3: And now we know that we had a group of leakers,
Speaker 3: people in high senior positions who looked in the eye
Speaker 3: and told us we could trust them, who were leaking information.
Speaker 3: And those include, according to the evidence that the FBI
Speaker 3: believed it had, Adam shiff the chairman of the House
Speaker 3: Intelligence Committee, James Comy, the FBI Director. We may have
Speaker 3: others before we're done, based on what I'm seeing in
Speaker 3: these memos. So the great steel curtain that hid all
Speaker 3: of this from us has crumbled, and the only question
Speaker 3: left for us is will there be a prosecution or
Speaker 3: a penalty so powerful that it creates an incentive for
Speaker 3: future people not to do this. Right now, there's no deterrence.
Speaker 3: So many people got away with the things we've now chronicled.
Speaker 3: If I'm sitting and I'm a deep Stater who has
Speaker 3: political motives, I might not be afraid to do something
Speaker 3: similar in the future. That is the moment that Pam
Speaker 3: Bondi at cash Ptel, that Tulci Gabbett, that President Trump
Speaker 3: have on their plate right now, they could create a
Speaker 3: deterrence to make sure they make an example of a
Speaker 3: few people, created an enormous penalty, could very well see
Speaker 3: the sort of deterrence.
Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, is there three presidential elections,
Speaker 1: John Solomon, in which we have deep state actors abusing
Speaker 1: their power to try to influence elections in this country.
Speaker 1: That would be the Grand conspiracy investigation. To me may
Speaker 1: sound complicated, but it's really not.
Speaker 3: It's not because it's a very simple pattern obstruct lawful
Speaker 3: criminal investigations of Democrats who may have done something wrong.
Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton with their classified emails, Hillary Clinton with their foundation,
Speaker 3: Hunter Biden with his taxes, Hunter Biden with his corruption,
Speaker 3: Joe Biden with his classified documents. Those were the three
Speaker 3: major investigations that were Democrats that enormous liability, and they
Speaker 3: got a pass, and they occurred and could have infected
Speaker 3: the twenty sixteen, the twenty twenty and the twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four election. What happened on the other side of that equation,
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was pursued almost always on fall or incomplete
Speaker 3: allegations for things like Russia collusion, Ukraine impeachment, classified documents
Speaker 3: in the raid on Mr Lago, and so the case
Speaker 3: is very simple, as complicated as all the facts are
Speaker 3: in the timeline is it's very simple a wash rint
Speaker 3: repeat cycle of protecting and obstructing an investigation of a
Speaker 3: Democrat so that they don't get in trouble, then projecting
Speaker 3: a fake scandal or a questionable scandal on a Republican
Speaker 3: and so doing you're obstructing justice and the Democrats investigation,
Speaker 3: and then you're violating the civil liberties of the Republicans
Speaker 3: who are falsely accused and put through a process. I
Speaker 3: think that is what we heard, Tay. Remember what the
Speaker 3: federal the New York Appeals Court ruled today, what Judge
Speaker 3: Edjeron and what Letitia James did wasn't just an error.
Speaker 3: It was a violation of the eighth Amendment of the
Speaker 3: US Constitution. Is a civil liberties a civil rights violation.
Speaker 3: That is the theory that Caspitel opened up this case,
Speaker 3: and that's the theory that Harmeet Dylan talked about on
Speaker 3: my show the other day. The people now about the
Speaker 3: face criminal investigation could be charged with crimes under the
Speaker 3: same civil rights laws that we use to prosecute crooked
Speaker 3: cops and dirty cops in the South. In the nineteen
Speaker 3: sixties who were violating the rights of black Americans in
Speaker 3: the South. Those laws could very come around, and it
Speaker 3: can very much come around if used in this conspiracy case.
