Brad Johnson it is December the 4th 2019
00:03
very nearly the end of it and you know
00:06
it’s very difficult it remains difficult
00:09
to really track all of this craziness
00:12
from the Democrats or the responses are
00:16
the only thing that you the only
00:18
impression I have is that the Democrats
00:20
are consistently accusing any and all
00:24
Republicans of doing what they
00:26
themselves have been doing for some
00:27
years that’s all I can Glen clean out of
00:29
this so you know if you could catch us
00:31
up that’d be terrific well I did want to
00:34
touch on kind of one specific point out
00:36
of all of that there’s just no question
00:37
I mean the Democrats are throwing all
00:40
the mud that they possibly can and a
00:42
very interesting twist now the Inspector
00:45
General report is basically finished the
00:48
report itself is done what’s happening
00:50
right now and it’s supposed to come out
00:52
in five days today’s the fourth it’s
00:54
supposed to come out the ninth what’s
00:56
happening right now in that process
00:58
which is now also been completed by this
00:59
time everyone who’s mentioned in the IG
01:02
report because that now an IG report is
01:06
the Inspector General’s internal
01:08
investigation which he doesn’t have
01:10
power to subpoena or indict or any of
01:12
those things so it’s not going to be
01:14
overly significant and the way that
01:16
those are done as you know the swamp
01:18
dwellers deal with all of this is the
01:22
people who are mentioned in the
01:23
Inspector General report get to read the
01:25
copy in advance so they’ve already now
01:27
and they get to comment on it so they
01:29
get to submit their own report saying oh
01:31
yes this is right or wrong or or this
01:33
was this was not reported correctly in
01:36
here and they get to deny whatever they
01:38
want and in them in the inspector
01:40
general’s report now one of the things
01:42
it’s an indicator elavil this is Lisa
01:44
page now if everyone recognizes the name
01:48
of Lisa page Lisa page was the FBI lover
01:53
of Peter struck Peter strike of course
01:55
was the head of the CI division one of
01:58
the very most senior positions within
02:00
the FBI the counterintelligence division
02:02
which is where the intelligence
02:04
operations of the FBI reside the other a
02:07
larger part of the FBI being the
02:10
criminal division so
02:12
Peter struck and lease a page where the
02:14
were the lovers and both married to
02:17
other people and what how this was
02:20
discovered I it’s been talked about but
02:22
how it was discovered as Peter straw
02:24
took his phone home his cell phone home
02:26
that was the FBI phone that was supposed
02:28
to stay in the office all the time and
02:29
his wife found the the text messages he
02:32
was sending to his lover Lisa page so
02:34
that’s how this whole thing was
02:35
uncovered the great CI division chief of
02:38
the FBI
02:39
you know screwed up taking that phone
02:41
home and got caught by his wife
02:43
so Lisa page now has come out publicly
02:47
well why the timing and all of those
02:50
things are things I always find
02:51
interesting and try to look at closely
02:53
the timing is that she was mentioned in
02:58
the IG report the Inspector General
03:01
report read it saw that she was I mean
03:04
I’m this is my prediction she was not
03:07
named as someone who was supposed to be
03:10
indicted which actually under the
03:11
circumstances makes sense based on what
03:14
an IG report does so based on that then
03:17
she felt free to be to come out publicly
03:20
and start to try and defend her image
03:22
and so that’s what we’ve seen her do
03:24
she’s come out and done a couple of
03:25
television interviews talking about how
03:27
she is in fact the victim and has been
03:30
targeted by this oh so mean President
03:33
Trump and and and yet in all of this
03:36
nobody asks questions or nobody talks
03:39
about any of this document his track
03:42
record of the things that she’s been
03:43
saying about President Trump how this
03:45
you know evil Trump can never be elected
03:47
what are we going to do and Peter struck
03:49
saying don’t worry we have an insurance
03:51
policy if even if he wins the election
03:53
we’ll get him all of that so she’s
03:55
taking a look at all of that stuff and
03:57
has now come out publicly to defend her
04:00
image now why you know interesting why
04:03
not just keep your mouth shut she’s
04:04
basically been forgotten by the press
04:06
nobody’s talked about Lisa page for a
04:08
long time now so why would she open all
04:11
of this back up and that is the question
04:13
that comes out of this in my mind and I
04:15
think it’s very clear that if she just
04:18
if she knew she wasn’t going to be a
04:20
target and the IG report keep your mouth
04:22
shut and just kind of fade away into the
04:23
back
04:24
but the problem is what’s coming
04:26
afterwards was I’ve always talked about
04:28
as being the important part of it and
04:30
that’s John Durham the US Attorney John
04:33
Durham’s report which is the
04:34
investigation of the FISA scandal now
04:36
with her talking about Peter Strock who
04:39
was involved in all of this he was one
04:42
of the people who signed on for that
04:45
fight a warrant and the three renewals
04:47
so he’s indirectly involved her having
04:52
talked about all of that with him what
04:54
is this insurance policy so she clearly
04:57
was aware of it all so is she a
04:59
co-conspirator
05:01
when all of this comes out of the John
05:03
Surma port and I would argue to you that
05:05
the reason lisa page is is going public
05:09
now and this is nobody has talked about
05:11
that in the press nobody on talk radio
05:14
it hasn’t come out anywhere the reason
05:16
she’s doing that is because she knows
05:18
the IG report is not going to do any
05:21
damage to her so this is her time to
05:23
take advantage of that report and say
05:26
see I’m just an innocent bystander being
05:28
targeted and this is how she’s building
05:30
her defense for when the Durham report
05:32
comes out so she’s hoping to place
05:34
herself in a position where she’s not
05:36
going to get in trouble when the Durham
05:38
report hits and she’s built up enough of
05:40
a defense and enough positive of an of a
05:44
positive image with the public that
05:46
should be left alone so I think that’s
05:49
what she’s hoping to do I think that’s
05:50
what she’s up to what does that mean
05:52
that means she’s really worried about
05:54
that stuff I think she sees Peter stock
05:57
is going down she knows the laws she
05:59
came out of the FBI so she has a pretty
06:02
strong idea of how all of this is gonna
06:04
work has worked with US Attorney’s many
06:06
times I’m sure certainly prosecutors
06:09
many times being in the FBI and so she
06:12
knows the dangers that are lurking out
06:15
there so the only reason why she would
06:17
come public now is to build the defense
06:19
for her then
06:25
