0:00:00.060,0:00:06.779
Brad Johnson retired CIA chief of
0:00:03.240,0:00:10.730
station Eastern Europe by gathering and
0:00:06.779,0:00:13.769
you have been following these bizarre
0:00:10.730,0:00:15.509
impeachment proceedings which are you
0:00:13.769,0:00:18.119
know remain baffling to me as much as I
0:00:15.509,0:00:19.710
try to understand what’s going on to
0:00:18.119,0:00:21.240
begin with what happened in the last
0:00:19.710,0:00:26.970
couple of days did they impeach him what
0:00:21.240,0:00:28.920
does that mean well sort of timidly at
0:00:26.970,0:00:30.570
and intelligence the that’s one of your
0:00:28.920,0:00:32.489
typical answers like yeah well it
0:00:30.570,0:00:33.780
depends on how you count it as to
0:00:32.489,0:00:36.870
whether he’s been impeached or not
0:00:33.780,0:00:39.600
what’s happened so far is that it was in
0:00:36.870,0:00:41.670
the committee and at the committee
0:00:39.600,0:00:44.579
hearing based on straight party lines
0:00:41.670,0:00:46.950
the vote came through and I believe it
0:00:44.579,0:00:48.539
was 23 17 something like that so the
0:00:46.950,0:00:51.180
committee’s loaded with Democrats
0:00:48.539,0:00:56.820
there’s quite a few more Democrats on
0:00:51.180,0:00:58.469
the committee are in each the majority
0:00:56.820,0:01:00.390
picked how many people are in that
0:00:58.469,0:01:02.219
committee so they decided the Democrats
0:01:00.390,0:01:03.930
decide well there were going to be 23 of
0:01:02.219,0:01:05.670
us and 17 of them and that’s how it’s
0:01:03.930,0:01:06.960
going to be so that was how they did it
0:01:05.670,0:01:09.780
the committee voted then along party
0:01:06.960,0:01:12.090
lines to recommend to peach so it comes
0:01:09.780,0:01:15.119
out of committee now and then it’ll have
0:01:12.090,0:01:16.590
to be voted on by the house now the
0:01:15.119,0:01:18.229
interesting thing we’ve talked about
0:01:16.590,0:01:21.119
this before there’s a there’s like
0:01:18.229,0:01:22.560
twenty four or five seats that are up
0:01:21.119,0:01:24.060
for grabs where they’re kind of
0:01:22.560,0:01:26.970
Republican areas of which there’s about
0:01:24.060,0:01:29.100
a dozen or so that I was mentioning in a
0:01:26.970,0:01:30.960
previous interview that I think those
0:01:29.100,0:01:32.970
people would be questionable as to how
0:01:30.960,0:01:34.950
exactly they’ll vote on impeachment and
0:01:32.970,0:01:36.509
I was suggesting that perhaps there be
0:01:34.950,0:01:39.180
four or five a handful of people that
0:01:36.509,0:01:41.060
would of the Democrats who are in
0:01:39.180,0:01:43.829
districts that are that lean Republican
0:01:41.060,0:01:46.130
that they would be voting against
0:01:43.829,0:01:48.450
impeachment now couple things on that
0:01:46.130,0:01:53.009
it’ll probably pass the house that I
0:01:48.450,0:01:57.030
think bugs at what Nancy Pelosi who’s
0:01:53.009,0:02:00.030
for the week she’s bitch and head of the
0:01:57.030,0:02:01.680
House Democrats what she has said
0:02:00.030,0:02:04.649
publicly is everybody should vote their
0:02:01.680,0:02:05.909
conscience and nation’ in essence there
0:02:04.649,0:02:08.129
was a reporter that came out this came
0:02:05.909,0:02:10.140
out the news today that had called every
0:02:08.129,0:02:13.050
one of those twenty five twenty four or
0:02:10.140,0:02:15.780
five Democratic
0:02:13.050,0:02:17.790
congressmen and women to ask if they
0:02:15.780,0:02:21.390
have a position if they’re going to vote
0:02:17.790,0:02:24.150
for it now fail every single one of
0:02:21.390,0:02:24.720
those has not come out in favor of
0:02:24.150,0:02:28.010
impeachment
0:02:24.720,0:02:30.930
they haven’t obligated themselves to a
0:02:28.010,0:02:32.340
specific book yet but very interesting
0:02:30.930,0:02:35.310
that not one of them has come out and
0:02:32.340,0:02:36.960
said yes I’m for impeachment so all of
0:02:35.310,0:02:39.750
them are kind of keeping their cards
0:02:36.960,0:02:41.370
close to the chest before they come out
0:02:39.750,0:02:42.570
publicly to see what they’re going to do
0:02:41.370,0:02:45.750
so we won’t know what they’re going to
0:02:42.570,0:02:49.200
do till they vote so I’m my personal
0:02:45.750,0:02:51.300
prediction is is Nancy he bowls he wants
0:02:49.200,0:02:52.740
to maintain her speakership and in order
0:02:51.300,0:02:55.620
to do that she has to maintain her
0:02:52.740,0:02:57.990
majority so I’m thinking she’s going to
0:02:55.620,0:03:01.890
try and make it as easy on them as she
0:02:57.990,0:03:05.730
can because in the long run if once it
0:03:01.890,0:03:07.050
passes the house it go and in the Senate
0:03:05.730,0:03:10.860
it’s going to be dismissed very quickly
0:03:07.050,0:03:14.160
and because there’s no crime involved so
0:03:10.860,0:03:15.900
I wouldn’t be surprised if she is fairly
0:03:14.160,0:03:18.900
lenient not trying to really hold these
0:03:15.900,0:03:20.700
guys to this stuff because they’re there
0:03:18.900,0:03:22.050
their votes really don’t mean anything
0:03:20.700,0:03:24.990
because it’s like I said it’s never
0:03:22.050,0:03:27.060
going to go anywhere so I it’s hard to
0:03:24.990,0:03:29.220
calculate in advance I bet Nancy Pelosi
0:03:27.060,0:03:30.870
has it figured out to the to the exact
0:03:29.220,0:03:33.390
vote how many of these she can allow to
0:03:30.870,0:03:36.420
vote against impeachment and still get
0:03:33.390,0:03:39.720
the impeachment general vote out of out
0:03:36.420,0:03:41.460
of the Congress so we’ll see as that
0:03:39.720,0:03:43.290
goes forward I mean a lot of pushback on
0:03:41.460,0:03:46.290
these things and the public is becoming
0:03:43.290,0:03:48.000
really angry and pissed off and among
0:03:46.290,0:03:49.740
independents for example there was a
0:03:48.000,0:03:53.580
poll that came out yesterday or today
0:03:49.740,0:03:58.380
and supporters among independents are
0:03:53.580,0:03:59.940
the low 30s for impeachment and the anti
0:03:58.380,0:04:00.720
impeachment vote among them is in the
0:03:59.940,0:04:03.750
mid-50s
0:04:00.720,0:04:06.210
so you know nearly a two-to-one radio
0:04:03.750,0:04:08.340
against impeachment among independents
0:04:06.210,0:04:09.720
and everybody is tired of this stuff so
0:04:08.340,0:04:11.130
the numbers are really starting to go
0:04:09.720,0:04:13.110
against the Democrats but they still
0:04:11.130,0:04:16.440
have to do this for their base so
0:04:13.110,0:04:18.060
they’re walking an interesting line on
0:04:16.440,0:04:20.609
all of this and have a lot of push and
0:04:18.060,0:04:21.840
pull on them as to how to move forward
0:04:20.609,0:04:23.910
and that’s one of the reasons they’re
0:04:21.840,0:04:25.470
trying to get this done so quickly and
0:04:23.910,0:04:26.340
pushing so fast to get this out of the
0:04:25.470,0:04:30.720
way before
0:04:26.340,0:04:33.330
Christmas and there was in Virginia 7th
0:04:30.720,0:04:35.760
district there’s a woman there Spann
0:04:33.330,0:04:38.610
Berger congressman and spam burger who
0:04:35.760,0:04:40.650
had a public meeting in her with her
0:04:38.610,0:04:42.810
constituencies back in her district and
0:04:40.650,0:04:44.550
I’ve got a lot of pushback over the
0:04:42.810,0:04:46.800
issue she was this came out on the news
0:04:44.550,0:04:48.900
yesterday as well was saying oh you know
0:04:46.800,0:04:50.669
this is a serious serious issue and
0:04:48.900,0:04:52.770
problem we have the President of the
0:04:50.669,0:04:54.540
United States and abuse of power and all
0:04:52.770,0:04:56.729
this and three or four people started
0:04:54.540,0:04:58.290
yelling at her in her this is her voting
0:04:56.729,0:05:00.240
district and these are her voters
0:04:58.290,0:05:02.100
yelling at her and one of the guys stood
0:05:00.240,0:05:04.620
up and said that’s all you know bs it’s
0:05:02.100,0:05:06.540
enough of this crap knock it off
0:05:04.620,0:05:08.880
do the business of the people leave the
0:05:06.540,0:05:10.500
president alone let him do his job you
0:05:08.880,0:05:12.360
know shut up and do your job and knock
0:05:10.500,0:05:16.130
this crap off that was the essence of
0:05:12.360,0:05:19.289
what this this voter was saying so the
0:05:16.130,0:05:21.419
the pushback and public pushback and the
0:05:19.289,0:05:23.789
polls are all turning against the
0:05:21.419,0:05:25.800
Democrats so they’re really starting to
0:05:23.789,0:05:28.620
feel this so they want out they went out
0:05:25.800,0:05:30.840
quick and who knows this it may be bad
0:05:28.620,0:05:32.370
enough that they don’t pass it because
0:05:30.840,0:05:34.139
they have to be a little bit worried
0:05:32.370,0:05:36.030
about what the Senate does with this
0:05:34.139,0:05:37.289
because the Senate then is in the
0:05:36.030,0:05:39.000
driver’s seat and there’s a million
0:05:37.289,0:05:42.000
things they can do now Mitch McConnell
0:05:39.000,0:05:44.220
who is the leader of the Republican side
0:05:42.000,0:05:47.760
in the in the Senate which is where it
0:05:44.220,0:05:49.320
would go if it passes the house he has
0:05:47.760,0:05:51.990
said publicly they’re gonna make quick
0:05:49.320,0:05:54.000
work of this and get rid of it fast but
0:05:51.990,0:05:55.680
he doesn’t have he doesn’t have to do
0:05:54.000,0:05:57.419
that he can change his mind and do
0:05:55.680,0:05:59.760
whatever he wants and he can make a huge
0:05:57.419,0:06:01.470
spectacle out of this and all he can
0:05:59.760,0:06:03.660
even turn around and say okay we’ve got
0:06:01.470,0:06:05.070
the atom shift rules for this all right
0:06:03.660,0:06:06.870
you guys will follow the same rules
0:06:05.070,0:06:08.460
we’re taking on atom shifts rules and
0:06:06.870,0:06:11.010
we’re gonna do the same which means
0:06:08.460,0:06:13.560
Democrats can’t bring anybody they want
0:06:11.010,0:06:16.470
in to testify they can only bring anyone
0:06:13.560,0:06:19.139
that that the Republicans allowed them
0:06:16.470,0:06:21.000
to bring the Republicans could do all of
0:06:19.139,0:06:22.800
they want behind closed doors they could
0:06:21.000,0:06:24.389
do it out in front of them so the press
0:06:22.800,0:06:25.919
gets it they could do whatever they want
0:06:24.389,0:06:27.510
and they have absolute control of it to
0:06:25.919,0:06:30.440
completely screw over the Democrats
0:06:27.510,0:06:33.389
because that’s what’s Adam Schiff did so
0:06:30.440,0:06:36.510
the options open to the Republicans are
0:06:33.389,0:06:38.490
many and disastrous for the Democrats so
0:06:36.510,0:06:39.360
and also at the same time the other
0:06:38.490,0:06:40.919
thing I would mention
0:06:39.360,0:06:43.740
in conjunction with this the IG report
0:06:40.919,0:06:46.349
is out the Horowitz IG report from
0:06:43.740,0:06:49.710
Department of Justice and this again is
0:06:46.349,0:06:52.289
really bad for the Democrats now they’ve
0:06:49.710,0:06:55.469
Jim James commis come out said Oh see
0:06:52.289,0:06:58.710
I’m vindicated once again but he’s just
0:06:55.469,0:07:00.840
a shocking liar I mean just blatant liar
0:06:58.710,0:07:02.699
on this stuff it’s really interesting
0:07:00.840,0:07:04.620
how he’s trying to play this and he’s
0:07:02.699,0:07:06.479
going on the press this weekend and
0:07:04.620,0:07:08.520
doing a lot of the shows to say see I
0:07:06.479,0:07:10.650
want an innocent wonderful guy I am and
0:07:08.520,0:07:13.139
I only have the interest of the FBI at
0:07:10.650,0:07:15.449
heart and all of this which is all
0:07:13.139,0:07:17.430
nonsense as you go through the IG report
0:07:15.449,0:07:20.370
and read it and I’ve begun I haven’t
0:07:17.430,0:07:21.960
finished it but I’ve read that the basic
0:07:20.370,0:07:24.300
part of the report talking about James
0:07:21.960,0:07:26.520
Comey and how he handled this and
0:07:24.300,0:07:29.759
there’s a lot of things wrong and out of
0:07:26.520,0:07:32.580
that he was recommended by out of the IG
0:07:29.759,0:07:33.840
report to be studied to to be turned
0:07:32.580,0:07:37.469
over for a criminal case and be
0:07:33.840,0:07:39.210
prosecuted attorney general bar declined
0:07:37.469,0:07:41.430
this is something we’d known for a while
0:07:39.210,0:07:42.960
this is this had come out Oh for a few
0:07:41.430,0:07:45.089
weeks back I just like to give that a
0:07:42.960,0:07:49.589
bit more attention so the IG report
0:07:45.089,0:07:51.900
actually recommended criminal indictment
0:07:49.589,0:07:56.819
or prosecution against James Comey is
0:07:51.900,0:07:58.710
that right yes kind of I mean it didn’t
0:07:56.819,0:08:00.539
say we recommend you prosecute this guy
0:07:58.710,0:08:02.699
it said look at all this information
0:08:00.539,0:08:04.259
we’re turning him over to you to decide
0:08:02.699,0:08:06.870
if you want to prosecute him or not it
0:08:04.259,0:08:09.029
wasn’t there’s nothing to do here it’s
0:08:06.870,0:08:11.189
like look there’s problems here here it
0:08:09.029,0:08:13.830
is do you want to prosecute him okay so
0:08:11.189,0:08:17.310
that was a solidity of consideration for
0:08:13.830,0:08:20.300
an indictment okay well that’s that’s
0:08:17.310,0:08:22.560
beautiful music story please continue
0:08:20.300,0:08:24.810
there’s a very interesting aspect of
0:08:22.560,0:08:26.759
this to you know now what can we got in
0:08:24.810,0:08:28.409
trouble for were these seven memos that
0:08:26.759,0:08:29.879
he wrote these seven memos were all
0:08:28.409,0:08:31.710
based on his communications with the
0:08:29.879,0:08:34.260
president of United States so he writes
0:08:31.710,0:08:35.640
all these memos now nobody ever asks how
0:08:34.260,0:08:38.640
did those memos get discovered
0:08:35.640,0:08:40.979
well they’re an interesting aspect they
0:08:38.640,0:08:43.469
got discovered because a whistleblower
0:08:40.979,0:08:45.060
gave them to the IG the Inspector
0:08:43.469,0:08:47.880
General when all of this was getting
0:08:45.060,0:08:49.020
looked at and that was how it all got
0:08:47.880,0:08:51.900
blown out of the water
0:08:49.020,0:08:53.760
was it actual true
0:08:51.900,0:08:55.680
lower and that definition of
0:08:53.760,0:08:57.600
whistleblower fits in this case because
0:08:55.680,0:08:59.190
what it was was somebody who worked
0:08:57.600,0:09:01.140
within the intelligence community who
0:08:59.190,0:09:02.670
saw abuse taking place within the
0:09:01.140,0:09:04.620
intelligence community by leadership
0:09:02.670,0:09:07.050
turn these all over to the IG and
0:09:04.620,0:09:09.060
claimed whistleblower status that is
0:09:07.050,0:09:11.130
actually what it was the blower is so
0:09:09.060,0:09:13.110
there is a true whistleblower involved
0:09:11.130,0:09:15.660
in this entire situation and he blew the
0:09:13.110,0:09:19.230
whistle on James coming so James Comey
0:09:15.660,0:09:21.360
does these seven memos and basically
0:09:19.230,0:09:22.770
he’s invited over to talk to the
0:09:21.360,0:09:24.090
president United States they have a
0:09:22.770,0:09:26.220
meeting they’re discussing all these
0:09:24.090,0:09:28.650
things like general Flynn was one of the
0:09:26.220,0:09:30.450
the discussions and it was very
0:09:28.650,0:09:32.370
interesting because now this this is not
0:09:30.450,0:09:35.310
a normal procedure to write these things
0:09:32.370,0:09:37.260
but he does it anyway and he’s claiming
0:09:35.310,0:09:39.960
after the fact to have done it to
0:09:37.260,0:09:41.910
protect himself and the FBI well nobody
0:09:39.960,0:09:45.300
asks the question protect yourself from
0:09:41.910,0:09:48.270
what you know what he precisely are you
0:09:45.300,0:09:50.190
trying to to protect you from or the FBI
0:09:48.270,0:09:51.810
you go over to meet with the president
0:09:50.190,0:09:53.940
and the president United States says to
0:09:51.810,0:09:55.740
you hey look this conversation that
0:09:53.940,0:09:57.960
Flynn had with the Russians is nothing
0:09:55.740,0:10:00.180
you know he didn’t do anything wrong the
0:09:57.960,0:10:01.940
only reason I’m firing him is because he
0:10:00.180,0:10:04.590
misled the vice president he wasn’t
0:10:01.940,0:10:05.520
openly frank to the vice president of
0:10:04.590,0:10:07.500
this stuff so that’s what he’s getting
0:10:05.520,0:10:09.750
fired for he didn’t do anything wrong on
0:10:07.500,0:10:12.780
this Russian discussion so that this is
0:10:09.750,0:10:14.310
a nothing burger so get it over with you
0:10:12.780,0:10:17.190
know and so you write a memo on that to
0:10:14.310,0:10:19.230
protect yourself I mean precisely from
0:10:17.190,0:10:21.240
what you know if you’re following the
0:10:19.230,0:10:22.320
law you look at the whole thing and
0:10:21.240,0:10:24.180
that’s what the president’s saying
0:10:22.320,0:10:25.920
there’s nothing wrong look at it and get
0:10:24.180,0:10:27.420
this get this kicked out it’s done
0:10:25.920,0:10:29.430
there’s there’s no there’s no crime
0:10:27.420,0:10:31.100
there so I mean you would look at it and
0:10:29.430,0:10:34.680
either come out for it or against it as
0:10:31.100,0:10:36.030
part of your function is your job so I
0:10:34.680,0:10:37.350
mean there was these sorts of things so
0:10:36.030,0:10:39.330
it’s very unusual that he wrote these
0:10:37.350,0:10:43.200
and then there’s another unusual aspect
0:10:39.330,0:10:45.840
to it he considered those several of
0:10:43.200,0:10:48.150
them to be his personal property now
0:10:45.840,0:10:50.070
that’s what he claims of course after
0:10:48.150,0:10:52.140
the fact now and this is why he was
0:10:50.070,0:10:54.600
recommended for to be considered for
0:10:52.140,0:10:56.100
prosecution because everybody knows this
0:10:54.600,0:10:58.170
in federal government everybody knows
0:10:56.100,0:10:59.640
this and all of the even Peter strike
0:10:58.170,0:11:01.500
and people like this were saying well
0:10:59.640,0:11:03.870
this is a weird thing for him to say and
0:11:01.500,0:11:04.590
they were quite shocked and surprised
0:11:03.870,0:11:06.600
and
0:11:04.590,0:11:08.610
according to the IG report that James
0:11:06.600,0:11:10.170
coming made this claim that these some
0:11:08.610,0:11:13.800
of these memos were his personal
0:11:10.170,0:11:16.980
property because if you were in your
0:11:13.800,0:11:19.110
function as a job and James Comey was as
0:11:16.980,0:11:20.910
director of the FBI when he was invited
0:11:19.110,0:11:23.040
to talk to the president it was part of
0:11:20.910,0:11:24.030
his job so whatever you do as part of
0:11:23.040,0:11:25.200
your job belongs to the federal
0:11:24.030,0:11:26.750
government it doesn’t matter what it is
0:11:25.200,0:11:29.640
you know whatever it is you’re doing
0:11:26.750,0:11:30.900
while you’re on duty belongs to the
0:11:29.640,0:11:32.310
federal government and if you get
0:11:30.900,0:11:35.340
invited over to talk to the president
0:11:32.310,0:11:37.500
his FBI director that’s do you doing
0:11:35.340,0:11:39.390
your job and everything you do and write
0:11:37.500,0:11:41.640
and say belongs to the federal
0:11:39.390,0:11:43.890
government and under the classification
0:11:41.640,0:11:45.510
that comes that’s all treated as
0:11:43.890,0:11:48.030
belonging to the government and that’s
0:11:45.510,0:11:49.470
that James Comey then goes home and
0:11:48.030,0:11:51.720
writes these things on his personal
0:11:49.470,0:11:53.790
computer and keeps these notes and keeps
0:11:51.720,0:11:57.150
him at home and shares them around and
0:11:53.790,0:11:59.580
stuff and it turns out that he shared
0:11:57.150,0:12:01.380
this with his three lawyers he gave it
0:11:59.580,0:12:03.210
to a few people that some of these you
0:12:01.380,0:12:05.490
know one or two people at the FBI some
0:12:03.210,0:12:08.850
of them yes some of them know he gets
0:12:05.490,0:12:12.360
fired and then shares more of them with
0:12:08.850,0:12:15.300
his lawyers which you see now that is
0:12:12.360,0:12:17.340
probably illegal and you know it’s not
0:12:15.300,0:12:18.450
getting taken to court to find out but
0:12:17.340,0:12:20.550
it’s probably illegal
0:12:18.450,0:12:22.950
after he’s fired he also takes one of
0:12:20.550,0:12:24.840
these things and gives it to his buddy
0:12:22.950,0:12:26.460
the professor I forget his name but this
0:12:24.840,0:12:28.110
professor then leaks it to the New York
0:12:26.460,0:12:30.060
Times and The New York Times comes out
0:12:28.110,0:12:32.790
and says all you know basically
0:12:30.060,0:12:36.900
corruption because Trump is trying to
0:12:32.790,0:12:38.190
get trying to get Flynn off you know
0:12:36.900,0:12:40.830
even though he did something wrong which
0:12:38.190,0:12:42.960
was the exact opposite of what of what
0:12:40.830,0:12:45.420
President Trump had said you know he
0:12:42.960,0:12:46.980
said look there’s nothing there get this
0:12:45.420,0:12:48.390
over with because there’s nothing wrong
0:12:46.980,0:12:50.490
the only reason Flynn was fired was
0:12:48.390,0:12:52.710
because he he wasn’t truthful to the VP
0:12:50.490,0:12:53.880
not because he did anything wrong so I
0:12:52.710,0:12:55.110
mean that was the nature of the
0:12:53.880,0:12:56.670
discussion that went on so I mean
0:12:55.110,0:12:57.990
there’s there’s a lot of things like
0:12:56.670,0:13:00.000
that I mean it’s probably not worth
0:12:57.990,0:13:01.800
going into tremendous detail on this but
0:13:00.000,0:13:04.640
that’s the essence of it and he need a
0:13:01.800,0:13:07.170
lot of these things kept his minimum
0:13:04.640,0:13:08.550
when the FBI came to collect you know
0:13:07.170,0:13:10.740
yet asked if at home where he had
0:13:08.550,0:13:12.000
classified safe classified discussions
0:13:10.740,0:13:14.190
and those sorts of things as FBI
0:13:12.000,0:13:15.540
director when the FBI came to take all
0:13:14.190,0:13:18.120
that back he didn’t give him all those
0:13:15.540,0:13:19.800
memos those memos were later looked at
0:13:18.120,0:13:21.720
and deemed classified there were small
0:13:19.800,0:13:23.910
portions of these things Dean classified
0:13:21.720,0:13:25.230
which is no brainer you’re having a
0:13:23.910,0:13:26.520
conversation with the president the
0:13:25.230,0:13:27.930
United States some of these things are
0:13:26.520,0:13:30.750
about foreign countries and all of this
0:13:27.930,0:13:33.900
and companies writing this down in this
0:13:30.750,0:13:35.339
middle clearly classified clearly
0:13:33.900,0:13:37.740
belonging to the federal government
0:13:35.339,0:13:39.480
everybody knows it there’s nobody who
0:13:37.740,0:13:42.120
questions that anywhere at any level
0:13:39.480,0:13:43.500
including his confederates like Peter
0:13:42.120,0:13:44.910
strike and these different people that
0:13:43.500,0:13:47.010
have done a lot of very questionable
0:13:44.910,0:13:51.330
things they all agreed and looked at it
0:13:47.010,0:13:53.460
reported to the FBI the the IG that this
0:13:51.330,0:13:54.930
was wrong and weird and Comey should
0:13:53.460,0:13:56.760
have never said that and come he doesn’t
0:13:54.930,0:13:58.529
believe it cuz he knows better so that
0:13:56.760,0:14:01.170
was all the behavior that when I went
0:13:58.529,0:14:02.430
over to US Attorney General Barr who
0:14:01.170,0:14:05.070
looked at those things said no we’re not
0:14:02.430,0:14:06.750
going to pursue this very interesting in
0:14:05.070,0:14:08.400
that and asked aspect and one of the
0:14:06.750,0:14:11.490
things I’ve mentioned before is I think
0:14:08.400,0:14:13.620
barded that for a reason he didn’t want
0:14:11.490,0:14:16.860
to go after Comey on this stuff because
0:14:13.620,0:14:18.690
it’s relatively small it is illegal
0:14:16.860,0:14:20.070
there were problems he probably could
0:14:18.690,0:14:22.170
have got convictions on all this stuff
0:14:20.070,0:14:23.910
just reading through the IG report
0:14:22.170,0:14:27.150
you know combing clearly got caught
0:14:23.910,0:14:28.920
lying clearly got caught with classified
0:14:27.150,0:14:30.900
documents at home that he didn’t report
0:14:28.920,0:14:32.370
clearly was federal government property
0:14:30.900,0:14:34.830
didn’t turn it in when he was supposed
0:14:32.370,0:14:36.779
to and specifically asked to lied about
0:14:34.830,0:14:38.520
all of that gave it to people who
0:14:36.779,0:14:40.410
weren’t cleared to have it his attorneys
0:14:38.520,0:14:41.790
all of these things are clearly settled
0:14:40.410,0:14:43.650
in court just because you have an
0:14:41.790,0:14:44.790
attorney doesn’t mean representing you
0:14:43.650,0:14:47.010
doesn’t mean you can give classified
0:14:44.790,0:14:48.209
information to them so even after you’re
0:14:47.010,0:14:50.250
no longer working for the federal
0:14:48.209,0:14:52.860
government just like me I know I don’t
0:14:50.250,0:14:54.450
talk about classified information in
0:14:52.860,0:14:56.790
these reports because that’s that would
0:14:54.450,0:14:59.130
be illegal so I don’t do it but James
0:14:56.790,0:15:01.529
Comey did all of those things knowingly
0:14:59.130,0:15:03.540
knew he was going to do it and said that
0:15:01.529,0:15:06.000
oh my personal convictions I’d wanted
0:15:03.540,0:15:07.650
this to come out so a special prosecutor
0:15:06.000,0:15:09.839
would be assigned to this case and go
0:15:07.650,0:15:12.089
after President Trump well you know okay
0:15:09.839,0:15:15.089
your personal political desires have
0:15:12.089,0:15:17.700
have nothing to do with as neat as some
0:15:15.089,0:15:20.310
sort of excuse for breaking the law so
0:15:17.700,0:15:23.430
I the only reason I can think of that
0:15:20.310,0:15:25.380
makes real good sense on this is that AG
0:15:23.430,0:15:27.600
Barr did not want to screw up the case
0:15:25.380,0:15:29.190
poison the well if you will and create a
0:15:27.600,0:15:30.270
lot of controversy going after James
0:15:29.190,0:15:32.820
Comey who had bigger
0:15:30.270,0:15:34.260
defend himself because the John Durham
0:15:32.820,0:15:36.720
report is going to come out and there’s
0:15:34.260,0:15:38.850
going to be much larger problems there
0:15:36.720,0:15:41.280
we’re lying to a federal judge and all
0:15:38.850,0:15:43.080
of these things are clear-cut and I
0:15:41.280,0:15:45.240
think it’s it’s open-and-shut as I’ve
0:15:43.080,0:15:47.340
told everybody many times I read the
0:15:45.240,0:15:49.800
original FISA requests I’ve read all of
0:15:47.340,0:15:51.660
these things yes in the redacted
0:15:49.800,0:15:53.790
versions but I was telling everybody a
0:15:51.660,0:15:55.590
year ago and all this came out that the
0:15:53.790,0:15:57.660
whole FISA request was based on the
0:15:55.590,0:15:59.160
steel dossier now all that’s been
0:15:57.660,0:16:01.790
confirmed in the last two or three weeks
0:15:59.160,0:16:04.170
if that and that’s so we know that now I
0:16:01.790,0:16:06.510
won’t say how I knew all of this before
0:16:04.170,0:16:07.980
but it was absolutely the case and clear
0:16:06.510,0:16:10.110
cut just from reading it it was very
0:16:07.980,0:16:12.060
clear for if you’re familiar with these
0:16:10.110,0:16:14.610
things a lot of people knew this but
0:16:12.060,0:16:16.440
nobody talked about it so again it’s one
0:16:14.610,0:16:19.350
of those things where commis in trouble
0:16:16.440,0:16:21.810
gonna be have lying at federal court it
0:16:19.350,0:16:23.520
looks like to me there’s a number of
0:16:21.810,0:16:25.590
crimes that can be associated with this
0:16:23.520,0:16:27.060
so they’re far more serious so I think
0:16:25.590,0:16:30.690
that is why Durham hasn’t done after
0:16:27.060,0:16:32.190
Comey so in some basically Comey screwed
0:16:30.690,0:16:34.590
that’s why he’s coming out publicly
0:16:32.190,0:16:36.690
saying see I’m you know vindicated once
0:16:34.590,0:16:39.300
again and why he’s going on the press
0:16:36.690,0:16:40.440
shows this weekend just you know blow
0:16:39.300,0:16:42.870
the horn saying what a great guy he
0:16:40.440,0:16:44.340
truly is now he’s now once again proven
0:16:42.870,0:16:47.100
right because he’s mounting his defense
0:16:44.340,0:16:49.290
for what’s coming and the thing with
0:16:47.100,0:16:51.690
Trump this is all turning his way now I
0:16:49.290,0:16:53.310
mean he’s been under assault for three
0:16:51.690,0:16:55.680
years and essentially only kind of
0:16:53.310,0:16:58.710
counterpunched over issues now he’s
0:16:55.680,0:17:00.180
taking the offensive the and and not
0:16:58.710,0:17:02.910
even personally I mean it’s the legal
0:17:00.180,0:17:04.230
system who’s now come online defending
0:17:02.910,0:17:06.330
him because of all the things that were
0:17:04.230,0:17:08.820
done wrong by the opposition trying to
0:17:06.330,0:17:10.709
target him and so now not only is he
0:17:08.820,0:17:12.180
defending himself now the legal system
0:17:10.709,0:17:13.500
is going after these people who’ve done
0:17:12.180,0:17:17.940
these things that were wrong in
0:17:13.500,0:17:20.910
targeting the Horowitz IG report is very
0:17:17.940,0:17:22.920
damning even in these left-wing media
0:17:20.910,0:17:24.690
they’ve now admitted all these
0:17:22.920,0:17:28.110
violations of procedures and what was
0:17:24.690,0:17:30.330
done wrong and all of that that’s a huge
0:17:28.110,0:17:32.520
victory for Trump a huge victory because
0:17:30.330,0:17:35.160
they’ve been forced to report all of
0:17:32.520,0:17:37.080
this because it’s it’s out there in the
0:17:35.160,0:17:39.780
public arena and so they can’t let it go
0:17:37.080,0:17:43.780
by so the Horowitz reported his favor
0:17:39.780,0:17:45.550
this this just travesty of
0:17:43.780,0:17:48.190
what is so-called justice by the
0:17:45.550,0:17:50.200
Democrats all of its losing popularity
0:17:48.190,0:17:51.940
losing its numbers everybody sees it for
0:17:50.200,0:17:56.050
what it is you know it’s it’s not
0:17:51.940,0:17:57.640
anything based on real you know facts or
0:17:56.050,0:17:59.650
any sort of illegal behavior by the
0:17:57.640,0:18:01.090
president people look at the phone call
0:17:59.650,0:18:03.040
that he had with the Ukraine and say oh
0:18:01.090,0:18:05.260
I didn’t show very good judgment but so
0:18:03.040,0:18:08.740
what I mean you know poor judgment in a
0:18:05.260,0:18:10.690
phone call is not illegal and you know
0:18:08.740,0:18:12.520
that’s kind of the worst that you hear
0:18:10.690,0:18:14.110
out of it my personal opinion of that
0:18:12.520,0:18:15.280
there was absolutely nothing wrong with
0:18:14.110,0:18:17.110
a phone call I don’t think it was bad
0:18:15.280,0:18:19.030
judgment I think it was just fine he was
0:18:17.110,0:18:21.520
saying investigating this case that
0:18:19.030,0:18:23.650
looks like clear corruption and now that
0:18:21.520,0:18:25.510
is also surfaced Joe Biden’s got trouble
0:18:23.650,0:18:27.160
you know floating to the top he’s
0:18:25.510,0:18:29.230
getting asked by media now because
0:18:27.160,0:18:31.210
they’re forced to and that corruption of
0:18:29.230,0:18:33.070
his son you know the what is it the
0:18:31.210,0:18:34.450
eighty three thousand dollars a month
0:18:33.070,0:18:36.990
that totaled over three million dollars
0:18:34.450,0:18:39.610
paid to his son you know a drug addict
0:18:36.990,0:18:42.520
he’s still a you know comes out in the
0:18:39.610,0:18:44.620
press being in strip clubs doing cocaine
0:18:42.520,0:18:45.880
in the strip club using other people’s
0:18:44.620,0:18:47.740
credit cards I mean that was out of the
0:18:45.880,0:18:51.160
press last week at least he’s bumped
0:18:47.740,0:18:53.560
spent the money well yes he blew it on
0:18:51.160,0:18:55.270
hookers so yeah hookers and booze and
0:18:53.560,0:18:59.710
cocaine so yeah I guess you spend it
0:18:55.270,0:19:02.680
well anyway that’s the that’s the update
0:18:59.710,0:19:04.420
on this stuff it’s it’s all now turned
0:19:02.680,0:19:06.820
into trumps favor and it’s all turned
0:19:04.420,0:19:09.160
against the Democrats who are only
0:19:06.820,0:19:11.980
forced to do this to play to their law
0:19:09.160,0:19:13.690
just radical base who’s now driving the
0:19:11.980,0:19:17.350
boat and a lot of that radical base
0:19:13.690,0:19:19.120
exists in the media and so those those
0:19:17.350,0:19:21.820
voters and the media that’s that
0:19:19.120,0:19:23.860
constituency that the Democrats have to
0:19:21.820,0:19:25.900
satisfy now and the only way to satisfy
0:19:23.860,0:19:29.200
it is to do this boat that they knew is
0:19:25.900,0:19:30.340
know is going to damage them and they’re
0:19:29.200,0:19:31.870
just doing it so they can say in the
0:19:30.340,0:19:34.270
future oh well that you know Trump was
0:19:31.870,0:19:36.190
impeach so you know whatever he says is
0:19:34.270,0:19:37.450
no good that’s that’s that’s the only
0:19:36.190,0:19:39.010
thing that’s going on there that’s the
0:19:37.450,0:19:41.230
only reason they’re doing it and to
0:19:39.010,0:19:42.910
build any sort of defense when the
0:19:41.230,0:19:44.710
dirham report comes out and starts
0:19:42.910,0:19:46.060
putting these guys in jail they’re gonna
0:19:44.710,0:19:48.190
go well it’s you know Trump was
0:19:46.060,0:19:49.960
impeached so this isn’t this isn’t right
0:19:48.190,0:19:52.330
this isn’t fair this isn’t justice this
0:19:49.960,0:19:54.640
is BS you’re only doing it because Trump
0:19:52.330,0:19:57.660
is impeached so that’s their defense and
0:19:54.640,0:19:57.660
that’s what we’re seeing happening
0:20:00.130,0:20:09.890
[Music]
