Well, everything we said, everything we were reported, everything we told you was dead on center, accurate. And the mob and the media has missed what is the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in the history of the country. It is that this report putting aside whatever differences, and for the Attorney General and for John Durham to come out like they have and I'll get to these statements in a second, and it is all there in black and white. It's all there. Put the conclusion differences aside for a second. Here, there is no more doubt the FBI launched an intrusive investigation in a presidential campaign on what is described as the thinnest of suspicions. The Attorney General said and in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. It is also clear from its inception that the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. By the way they actually took out exculpatory information, they purposely misled repeatedly the FISA court. It goes on that, nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration in the rush to obtain and maintain FIZA surveillance of the Trump campaign associates. The FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information, negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Now that's from Bill Barr. Now, remember, and this is very critical and where we are at this particular moment, because and I've spent a lot of time explaining this, Horowitz has already made numerous referrals from all the people that we're now going to be talking about today and the upper echelon of the FBI long before in his earlier reports. Nobody's lifted a finger because an inspector General does not have the power to convene a grand jury make charges. And what I suspect is going on here is now the final step of all this is going to be Durham's report. Because Durham said, I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Inspector General. The comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by mister Harowitz and his staff. However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. This is what do you think they've been in Italy, Great Britain so often? What do you think's going on over there? We're going to know soon enough. Our investors included developing information from other persons entities, both in the US and outside of the US. Clapper Brennan, are you paying attention based on the evidence collected to date and while our investigation is ongoing. Last month, we advise the Inspector General we don't agree with some of their conclusions as to the predication of how the FBI's case was opened. In other words, we've got evidence to the contrary. Let's let's be blunt here. That's what he's saying, and it's also a preview, if you will, of coming attractions. He's pretty much saying, stay tuned. We have a lot more now. Remember, Inspector General referred come already prior to this release today, over leaking memos and lack of candor and harrow, it's found the FBI's handling of the Clinton emails. Remember, senior bureau officials show to quote willingness to take official action to prevent Trump from becoming president. He's already said all of that. He's referred Lisa Page, Peter Struck, Kevin Kleinsmith, and others including Jim Comey Andrew McCabe for further investigation. Kleinsmith is the same anti Trump lawyer we're expecting to hear a lot more about in days to come. And back in May, the IG referred to an unnamed FBI deputy Assistant director for referred this person for prosecution for leaking sealed court records. And in April the DJ watch dog, the Inspector General sent a criminal referral for the disgraced x FBI official Andrew McCabe or unauthorized leaks and quote lacking candor. But now now it's what Durham and barrs saying. Now it's time for accountability, because that's all you're gonna get out of the Inspector General. He can't convene a grand jury, he can't. So now it's in the Attorney General's hand and Durham's hand. In their words today should send shivers and shocks down the spines of these people have involved in this abuse of power corruption scandal. The biggest in history here because this is what it is and what you know. You look at the numerous factual errors and omissions. They failed to vet the information, numerous serious performance failures by those handling the FISA application. The applications were oh relied on the discredited work of Christopher Steele, as the Clinton bought and paid for dirty Steele dossier, whose own author said, yeah, no, I have no idea of any of its true. In other words, it was an unverifiable document from the get go. How could you conclude anything other than yeah, they did it by design. As far as the numerous factual errors and omissions, I mean yeah, as we discussed below, we identified numerous serious factual errors and omissions. The omissions were exculpatory information which I'll get into us this day unfolds. There were serious performance failures. We conclude the failures described in this report represents serious performance failures by the super advisory and non supervisory agents with responsibility over PISA applications. Seventeen significant errors or omissions in the FIA applications. Seventeen at least that they've identified. IG did not receive satisfactory explanations for any of their conduct in the errors in the applications procedures. We also did not receive satisfactory explanations for the errors or the problems that we identified. In most instances, the agents and supervisors told us that they did not know or recall why the information was not shared with the FISA court, that the failure to do so may have been an oversight they didn't recognize at the time the relevance of the information. FBI personnel fell far short of the requirement that they ensure that all information in a PHIZA application is accurate, and it goes to cross via Hurricane team that McCabe, Comey others. They wanted to rely on Steal's dosier despite knowing the concerns that Steele was being funded by the Clinton and the DNC, and McCabe pushed for Steele's debunk reporting to be in the intelligence assessment on the twenty sixteen election, despite pushback from the CIA. There were concerns about struck in page by passing the chain of command to advise McCabe. The IG report concludes Bruce or committed consequential errors in judgment. The FBI. Also it goes on from there received information raising significant questions about Steele's findings that did not press steal for information. Steel's information played the central and essential role in the decision to seek deifies the order. The FBI did not have information oberating any of the Steel dossier and the allegations that are being made here do you see where this is all going? So you know what is in here? We're learning in I mean, how many pages total is this? I didn't even get to the last page, almost five hundred pages. I mean, it's unbelievable. The failure to vet Steel. Now here's why would that matter? All right? They fell far short in abiding by FISA policy. No corroborating evidence as it relates to page allegations. They purposely changed, you know, page everything he had told us on this program, according to this is all true. He worked for the government, he worked for another agency, and then when they were handed that information, they altered the information to get into everything backdoor. Remember second hand information. Once you get to Christopher Carter page, now you're in all things Trump campaign world, Trump transition world. There were quote mountains of flags regarding Steele's work. The FBI fell far short and abiding by FISA policy. Our review found FBI personnel fell far short. Factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, unsupported by appropriate documentation. None of these inaccuracies and omissions were brought to the attention of the Office of Inspector General before the last f application. This went on for almost a year. They were Operation Crossfire Hurricane was unable to corroborate any of the specific allegations regarding Carter Page contained in Steel's DOCI. They couldn't corroborate any of it. The FBI's failures created misleading, a misleading FISA application. Seventeen specific errors and omissions we have identified in these FISA applications. There are so many. Any basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, handpicked teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations. This is all in the report and then it goes on from there. They didn't give equal attention, by the way, to the relevant facts. On the other side, They purposely took all the exculpatory information so that no, we don't want to see that. I mean the five's applicant was made clear information supporting probable cause it was non existent in this case, they found the quantity of omissions and inaccuracies breathtaking and by the way, the agents may have improperly substituted their own judgments, you think serious performance failures. Then it gets into, you know, the very very specific issues involving the dossier, which we've got to now pay very close attention to, because if we don't get to the basics and this, we're screwed. Because you know, Stell, by the way, in his own sense, in his own way, was up to was eyeballs in this and was doing it for money. And he when he finally pushed, came to shove, which they could have done from the very beginning they would have found h Yeah. Yeah. Now one of the I think most damning things in this, which validates every single thing that we told you, Christopher Steele was paid by the FBI. Steele denies ever agreeing to become to work for the FBI, which is an interesting sidebar. But what I found most telling is what you find out is without any dossier, there was no FISA application. Remember we kept saying the bulk of information comes from the unverifiable Steel dossier. It says it exactly like that. In this report. They had absolutely zero confirmation or even an ability to confirm everything James in that earlier version, I appreciate it. They didn't even have the ability to verify it because they never took the time to verify it, and they went as to so far is to actually change the evidence that was presented in this case, every bit of it. They want it. Well, okay, So without the Steel dossier quote, they would not have even pursued the FIES warn't because they weren't getting it. When I asked about the motivations behind the Steel dossier, agent involved didn't respond. The FIS application form was almost entirely based on the unverifiable Steel Dossier and this whole circular reporting. Remember one step, two step, once you get into everything Carter Paige, Now you're into everything Trump worlds because he worked as a campaign associate and the Trump campaign. That gave them a backdoor to the Trump campaign, the Trump transition team, and the Trump presidency. The FISA application was almost entirely based on the Steel dossier. Oh, who's been telling you that? Nobody in the fake news media. Without the dossier, they wouldn't have pursued a FIES war because they wouldn't have gotten one who's been telling you that about the motivations buys application, called Steel a reliable source and lied that his info had been used in criminal proceedings. They actually lied about that. Struck himself signed off on an expedited FISA application. They mislern the agent misled the attorney saying that Carter Page never met with us. Then you have the actual changing of this thing to thee where it would have been exculpatory to Carter Page, and then they did it to screw him so that they could still get to Trump. Page to McCabe, we can overcome looking biased in the FISA application. We could overcome it. They're bragging about it. And then Page to McCabe, Oh, she's so innocent. I thought. We have a robust explanation for any possible bias charges here, and it goes on from there. It is a lot to absorb. It's nearly five hundred pages. I've only had it in my hands for a little over two hours, and my entire team here was still going through it. But it is everything we said is true. Everything, every single thing. The mob was wrong every step of the way. Now imagine if this was done to Hillary or Barack Obama or any Democratic candidate ever, I think the mob would care. So what were we telling you versus the mob in the meeting? We were telling you that the bulk of information was the killery Clinton, unverifiable, bought and paid four Steel dossier. Now we know the Fiser request Quote one six twenty seven page drew almost entirely from Steele's reporting and describing the factual basis to establish probable cause. The bulk of information was the dirty dossier, the unverifiable dirty dossier. Now we also know when asked for the motivations behind the Steel dossier, they didn't know. Without Steel they could not have gotten a FISER warrant. That unit chief told the OYG that the receipt of Steele's quote reporting changed their mind on whether they could establish probable cause. In other words, without the dirty Clinton bought and paid for unverifiable dirty Russian dossier, there is no Fiser report. On top of all the lying and exculpatory information with held will continue all right, twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean, if you want to be a part of this extravaganzas so much to I'm just trying to stand back. I can look at the big picture. There's so much damning information in this thing. And what I've now concluded is, if you remember the the Mueller Report, the way the Democrats saw it was going to lead to the roadmap to impeachment, Dak got blown out of the water. By the way. Another thing that we find out in this Horowitz report on you know, it's so it's so outrageous because all of this is such an abuse, disgusting abuse of power. It really is. I mean, if you listen to the words A, Durham and Bar, it's devastating. And Durham has the wider scope. Durham has the power. Durham is now officially a criminal investigation. He can convene grand juries and he's making clear he will be doing that. And you know when with Barr and his statements, it is it is beyond damning. Um. Now, I want to go back now that I'm explaining to you everything that we told you is true, and you go to page one twenty five, and you can go to one twenty four and one twenty six and one twenty seven of this report. What are we looking for here, all right? Steele? Christopher Steele? Or is it motivations? Remember we found out when he when he was pressed under oath in an interrogatory in Great Britain. I have known you if any of it's true. Single sourced information from a crazy person that he describes as a crazy person without without the Steel dossier, they knew they couldn't get the FISA application McCabe. So McCabe did say it, he's saying now he didn't say, of course, he probably said it my view, but they're saying in the report that with that it pushed it over the line in terms of yeah, that was what that was? What did it for us? And don't forget they also used a circular reporting. They leaked it out to Isakough and what's another hack's name conspiracy theorist, Oh, David Corn and Isakov by the way, willing dupes, Oh, thank you for the information. Let me reported it as true and using that conspiracy theorists that they are. But anyway, without the dirty dossier, the Clinton pays for that we now know as verifiable. That's how they get in a backdoor. Now, of course you get once you get to Carter Page. Well, now you get into the Trump campaign, and then after the Trump campaign, you get into the Trump transition, then the Trump presidency. And what's remarkable in all of this is Komey lies through his teeth repeatedly, because he signed off on the application in October of twenty sixteen. He put his signature on that first FISA application with the unverifiable bulk of information. I'll read from page one twenty six and seven. The FISER request form drew almost entirely from Steels reporting and describing the factual ass to establish probable cause to believe that Page was an agent of a foreign power. The only additional information cited an ADFISER request from the only the rest of it was a statement that Paige was a senior foreign policy adviser for the Trump campaign and had extensive ties to various state owned or affiliated entities of the Russian Federation. The only other thing besides the dossier used to secure the warrant Papadopoulos's statement, which by the way, even that's altered and an open source which is articles discussing. But all that was was leaks to Isakof and korn As I understand it to make it seem like it was independent corroboration that was done on purpose too. So without the dirty unverifiable Clinton bought and paid for Russian dossa, you don't get the back door. So remember the standard, because if you look at a FISA application, it has the word verified at the top of it. Oh, it's unverifiable. But it was the it was based almost entirely. But for those three things. The statement that page was a senior foreign policy blah blah blah blah, Papadopoulos's statement, and these two articles written by two conspiracy theorist hacks that they leaked to and did no verification on their own obviously because they're just hacks. That hey, Trump, that was it. So it was the dirty dossier Laughton paid for unverifiable and then but the standard, well Rod Rosenstein told us of mail last year what the standard was. Pay close attention the way we operating the Department of Justice. If we're going to accuse somebody of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence and credible witnesses. We need to prepare to prove our case in court, and we have to fix our signature to the charging document. That's something that not everybody appreciates. Let's go back to the beginning. You need to have real evidence. Play that again the way we operate in the Department of Justice. If we're going to accuse somebody of wrongdoing, we have to have admissible evidence and credible witnesses. We need to prepare to prove our case in court, and we have to fix our signet out there. Credible evidence, admissible evidence, admissible. Okay, none of this is verified. The whole thing was a sham. If that's not abusive power, I don't know what is. And we're gonna we're creal law enforcement officials listen to this charging document. That's something that not everybody appreciates. There's a lot of talk about FISA applications, and many people that I see talking about it seem not to recognize what a FIES application. FIES application is actually a warrant, just like a search warrant. In order to get a FISA search warrant, you need an affidavit signed by a career federal law enforcement officer who swears that the information in the affidavit is true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief. And that's the way we operate and if it's wrong. Sometimes it is. If you find out there's anything incorrect in there, that person is going to face consequences. There was that no time, ever, any ability to verify the bulk of that application. It's unverifiable. Bull. That's why I think we're hearing from Horowitz and Durham. They're like, Okay, I don't know why you're getting this. You're trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Fine, but you know, with all due respect, they failed to meet the basic obligation to ensure applications were scrupulously accurate. It was never that. There was no possibility any of it was accurate. It's unverifiable, and they used it four times a full year of spying. Then they launched an investigation into a presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions, as Bill Barr says, and he says, in my view, insufficient to justify these steps taken. And then you go to Durham, and Durrham's the one that's doing the criminal investigation, and he was about as clear as he could be. You sure, I respect Harwitz. Our investigation, though, is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Oh, other people that have information, we can go talk to them. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the US and outside the US, based on the evidence collected a date, and while our investigation is ongoing, we do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to prediction of how the FBI case was opened. Remember Harrowitz found that dossier provided probable costs to spy on Carter Page. Well, yeah, but they had to alter information about Carter Page to get there, which I'll get to omitted information the FBI obtained from another US government agency detailing its prior relationship with Page, including Page had been approved as an operational contact for the other agency three letter agency from two thousand and eight to thirteen. The Page had provided information to other agency concerning his prior contacts with certain Russian intelligence officials and officers, one of which overlap with facts asserted in the visa application. Now we also have a included in this whole thing, a source characterization statement about Steel's prior reporting had been quote corroborated and used in criminal proceedings. That is a lie. That's not true. And I've talked to high ranking people all day that know within the Justice Department, overstating the significance of Steel's asked reporting and was not approved by Steele's handling agent as required by WOODS procedures. Three. They omitted information relevant to the reliability of person A key Steel's subsource and this is the one source. He only had one source. Steel himself told members of the Crossfire Hurricane team that one person who was at a big ego and was a boaster gave him the information may engage in some embellishment. Steele even told them that one source by somebody that lies basically and if you look at the report nine you know, and some if you look at who the attribute attribution here with provided information in the report and some information and other reports relied on the application. Steal himself told members of the the whole team, it's only one guy. He's basically telling them, I have no idea. If it's true, then that would be premeditated aud and that the FBI assessed Steal did not directly provide to the press the information for that Yahoo. Michael Iszikov article based on the premise that Steele had told the FBI he only shared his election related research with FBI and Fusion GPS as client. The premise was incorrect and contradicted by documentation in the Woods file. Steel had told the FBI he also gave information to the State Department. They omitted Papadopoulos's statements monitored to an FBI gets informant, denying that anyone associated with the Trump campaign ever corroborated with Russia or outside groups like Wiki Leaks, Oopsie Daisy that would be important. They omitted pages statements that he had literally never met or said one word to Manaport, and Manaport had not represented to any of pages, emails and by the way, number seven pages consentually monitored statements, etc. They omitted other statements paid maids that we're inconsistent with that theory, including denying Evan met with certain individuals if true. Those statements contradicted the claims in the report that Paige had met secretly with them about future cooperation. I'm gonna tell you one thing that's going to emerge at some point here that you pay close attention that I'm right on on this. They never once gave the Trump team a defensive briefing and said, hey, just to give your heads up. We're looking into this possibility. But my sources confirming for me today the US government, through Brennan and Obama himself, informed the Russians of a possible compromise with the Trump campaign. That is breathtaking. Brennan called the Russians in August and September or twenty sixteen. Did they ever think they should call the Trump campaign? Obama called the Russians in September. Um, how is that possible? He got Page in Papadopoulos, you know, literally Page didn't lie to us. What did you see that? Remember some people saying don't trust Page. This report exonerates him. But they had to use manophor Page, Papadopolis and Flynn's Oh, they just used them. All these guys were used and abused for the purpose of getting a Trump just like call me. Also lied when he said, oh, yeah, it's salacious but not verified, because three months earlier he was he was saying it was verified when he signed off on the FISA application, then signed off on two others after he lied to Trump. He's caught in a million lies here. And if I'm Durham and I'm Bill Barr, Yeah, I'm I'm looking at this saying, yeah, this is not true. What else do we have in all this? We have? So they're concerned about the d O JF eye policies didn't require senior officials to be notified the confidential source on Page and Papadopolis before and after they joined the Trump team. They altered, literally altered the exact wordings. They failed to ever vet Christopher Steele or the one egotist that he told them not to trust. There's a mountain of red flags they point out in terms of serious problems with Steal's descriptions, but they did it anyway. They never corroborated the allegations against Page. Just the opposite. The FBI didn't have information corroborating the allegations the end's page, and as a matter of fact, they had exculpatory information that they purposely withheld from the FISA Court. They never told the FISA court that Hillary paid for the dirty Russian dossier. That would be important if I was a FISA Court judge. Christopher Steele and the FBI, Yeah, they didn't have the relationship that the FBI official were saying that they had. You know, one weird thing that came out of this is apparently Steele says he personally knows a member of the Trump family. The some suspect it was a Vonka. I have no idea. I am not a native. You can getting into that, So you get into this, okay. The FISA application is we now know, unverifiable with a single source lunatic that they even told everybody was a single source lunatic as an egomaniac that makes things up. They FISA request form referred to Steele as a reliable source, but yet Steel was not considered a reliable source. He was even fired by the FBI for lying and leaking Struck's telling the Office of Inspector General that he approved the request to expedite the FISA a sense of urgency. That's not how it works, though, is it? According to Rod Rosensteam, which we just played by the way we have we have Comey. Let's play comey here, because Comey confessed in this to the Inspector General that the steal Darcier shouldn't have been used in the application. But that's not what he said back when listen. Jim Mayer wrote a very comprehensive piece in the New Yorker about Christopher Steele's dacier and about Christopher Steele, is he considered reliable according to your sources as an intelligence agent. Yes, as it was ascribed to me when it came in. It was raw intelligence, so a series of reports from a credible person with a reliable track record and a known, experienced and source network in Russia. And so it was something to be taken seriously. Didn't mean that it was all true, but it was to be taken seriously, and its core assertion was corroborated by other intelligence, its core being the Russians exact paining to interfere in the American election, just like he lied to Trump, so Ealaysia's and unverified everything about this that we told you is true. That you have literally an unverifiable Clinton bought and paid for Russian dossier, the bulk of information used for the pies applications, and it to abuse power and get at a candidate, a transition team, and a president. I can't wait to durham and bargain a hold of this. A lot of people had done here, trust me, this is bad. Well, I'm not going to go into the details of the conversations. I had with Sue. But at the end of the day, we put forth a package that, to my understanding, people in my building and the department were satisfied with so to the extent that there were any concerns about how we represented what we knew about the informant and his potential, how he came involved in acquiring this information, and what his background might might say about his involvement in that collection. I think everyone was satisfied that we had represented that accurately and adequately in the package. The court was obviously satisfied they signed it. But three or four times I thought there there was one. Right, there were three renewals, including by Rod the last one, and three renewals, one of which I signed. It took place after the director had been fired. Uh, Miss, it's almost a joke listening to McCabe in retrospect. Why did he actually say that, because the report today, what's what was ut March was the report today shows, Yeah, the dirty dossier they wouldn't have gotten, they wouldn't have gotten defies a warrant without the dirty dossier. And yeah, the application was almost entirely based on an unverifiable document, almost entirely, and that yeah, Christopher Steele. Without the dossier, they wouldn't have even pursued it. Now we know that the Clinton bought and paid for unverifiable Russian dirty dossier? Was it just by on carter page? Deny him his institutional rights? By the way, now we know also Manaphort and Papadopoulos, and wow, they went after General Flynn. That's how we treat thirty three year veterans in this country. This is an excoriating beatdown of how corrupt this whole thing was and what an abuse of power, and it's you know, and forget about whatever. Harowitz doesn't have the ability he's referred people left and right and all over the place. Nothing happens when Durham comes out as he does today and says the things he's been saying today. Now we're like, okay, this is our investigation, He goes on, has included developing information from other persons and entities both in the US and outside the US, Italy, Great Britain, Australia, and based on the evidence collected to date, and our investigation is ongoing. He invites the Inspector Generman. We don't agree with some of the report conclusions, interpretation, yeah, we've got we've got a lot more than you do. Yeah, because we're because we're not limited in our purview. You know, you also say the Steel dossier provided you know, probable cause. No, that every every indication was it was unverifiable. Even the interview that he gave. We all know in the interrogatory what he said. But now we know in the interview he said, yeah, one source, and the guy was an egomaniac who was known to make up crap. So that's that's where we are here. And the Inspector General finding himself seventeen significant errors. We've identified least seventeen significant errors or missions in the FISA applications and additional errors and wood procedures. It goes on to say, in great detail, under the so called too Hop rule, investigations investigators could collect the communication of every person that Page interacted with. Why is that important? Because the reason they had to alter the documents that actually showed that Carter Page was a patriot. Carter Page worked with a three letter agency. The three letter agency warned them all that, yeah, no, he's good, and then they changed it to make it sound just the opposite. Why Because once you got to Carter page. Then you got into the Trump campaign, transition team, and presidency. That's why. That's how bad this is for them. And to have the Attorney General of the United States now weighing in as strongly as he has weighed and saying, yeah, this is bad, and Durham saying it is bad, Jim Jordan rightly pointing out we thought they spied on two Americans. Now we know it was four. We know within one week of the investigations opening, the FBI was surveiling the campaign and four specific individuals. Do you realize how thin it is. It is so thin that it's based on one thing we're learning today, just one, and that is George Popinopolis is what he said at a party. That's thin. The Attorney General rejecting all of this in a lengthy statement, you know, saying this is how intrusive this all is, and him going really really deep into this never should have happened under the thinnest of suspicions, he goes in launched on the thinnest of suspicions. The Inspector General's report now makes clear the FBI launched the investigation the US presidential campaign on the sinnest, the thinnest of suspicions, in my view, insufficient to justify. And they knew that they knew, and the overwhelming bulk of evidence was what it was, the dirty Clinton bought and paid for dossier, just as we have reported and told you. And what was the what was the point of this. They couldn't have gotten to warrant with out the dirty dossier. That's unverifiable. That go to page one twenty six. The fiser request for him drew almost entirely from the dirty dossiers, and then three little other things. That's it. It was the bulk of information was this. The grassly Graham new Nest memos were correct. Dorham blasting this rightly, so bar blasting this also and saying that you know, the report insufficient basis to do any of this. And it's clear from its inception the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance were was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign into deep into the president's administration. Now we know if you go back, and we'll get to this later. The statements of Bar from that speech that he gave. Oh now, it's beginning to take on great your meaning than ever before. We'll play that. We know numerous errors, serious performance failures, relied on the discredited, unverifiable work of the Steel dossier. Comey, even Comi's confessing at his interview. Yeah, yeah, No, this wasn't ripe enough the Steel dossier or mature enough to be complete. Now, well, why did you sign it three times? That's a problem for him. Yeah. Finally Director Ray says something. Oh, he promises reforms. He's saying that now because he knows it's trouble in terms of this. I'm gonna tell you right now, it's gonna be a push to get rid of Fays anyway. Two people that have been right with us all along. Investigative reporter John Solomon vindicated today. Greg Jarrett vindicated today, and this is only the beginning of the vindication. Thank you both for your great work. We were right the whole time. We were all right the whole time. The mob in the media did nothing. Anyway, John Solomon, your take, and we're gonna keep you guys for the hour, so we have plenty of time. It is just stunning the level of misinformation and erroneous information and disprove an information that the FBI allowed to persist with the FI succord. They fleeced the FI support, the FBI, using its most awesome spy powers, fleece the FI Succord, and so doing, they fleece the American public, and they violated the civilebrities of the four men who were targeted by this investigation. It is just when you look at these seventeen failures, these seventeen misinformations, these seventeen omissions, they are so glaring as to almost appear intentional. And I think that at the end of the day, the idea that this was just simply a case of incompetent cops really really pales when you start to read the facts, that the knowing and willful decisions not to provide information up the chain, the changing of a document that head carter Page's relationship with the US intelligence agents to say that he didn't have it, when in fact that it said just the opposite. That's right, I mean, And the core thing, the only thing that would justify a fist against carter Page was that he had met with these two guys in Russia, the two egres, I call him the FBI knew that wasn't true. It allowed that to persist for a year and allowed the court to keep extending these warrants. And in January twenty seventeen, the FBI interviewed Christopher Steel subs or something I told you many months ago that subsource disowned the information attributed to him in the dossier. We could have saved two years of the Mueller investigation if the FBI had just come clean about that. It is tragic to civielebrities, is tragic to the American desire for truth that these FBI agents and officials allowed this farcet to go on for two years. Greg Jarrett, your takeaway from this, I guess your two books have been vindicated as well, because everything you reported is true. Yes, you know. In my books, I go through all of the misrepresentations that were made by the FBI and the Department of Justice to spy on the Trump campaign. Never told that Clinton's campaign had paid for the phony dossier, not told that Steele had leaked and lied. Instead, they vouched that he was credible, you know, not told that the FBI's evidence was unverified, and it clearly was worse than that. Though unverifiable and by the way, from page one twenty six the Fiser request form, which says at the top verified drew almost entirely from the dirty Clinton bought and paid for Russian Steele dossier. Oh sure, and and they were not told of exculpatory evidence. That's really where Baron Durham come in. You know what's revealing about the report today is Bill Barr's damning assessment of it. Miscontas, misfeasons, clear abuse of FAISA process. What's baffling is how the IG seems to have blindly accepted the stories. Sorry my apologies, okay, should have turned it off. They even said it was he accepted all these stories by people like Comey and McCabe and Baker, not to mention Chris Steele himself, you know. But Orwitz offers the following vacuous excuse, it's not my role, the second guest discretionary judgment. You know all Americas that was so weakly trouble well it is, I mean, but I'll tell you it's so egregious. I mean, when you see that the the Durham and bar came out as strongly as they did, it's sort of like this is the appetizer. John. Now, we've got a lot of the facts outlined here, everything corroborated that we believe to be true. But you know, an inspector general, he's already referred call me Page Rock McCabe for he's already referred to us. So it doesn't really matter what his assumption is here. But what I think Durham is saying, oh god, we've got it all. We've got this buttoned up so tight. You have no idea because you can't do what we've been doing. On top of what you did, keep in mind, he also today revealed that he caught an FBI agent intentionally, willfully doctoring a document to keep the fist of scam going. That is one of the most serious criminal violations I've ever seen come out of an IG report. So he has provided some new evidence of criminality. But at the end of the day, Klin Smith, right, Yeah, the lawyer who who doctors played what he did because he actually this was on carter Page in particular, Yeah, and not a relationship with the CIA that wasn't being divulged. And if the if the FISI court knew that carter Page was trusted by the CIA, they might have had some serious reservations about spying on them or you know what, I forgot to say. And also they never told anybody that Hillary paid for it. That's right. And here's another one. When the assessment it came out in December, the rushed Obama assessment that Russia, you know, tried to infiltrate our camp, our election and tried to influence our election. The CIA specifically told the FBI, don't use the Steele dossier. What did McCabe and Comey do? They used it as part of the assessment, which means that assessment is flawed. It really if if devices are flawed, the intelligence assessment that relied on the dossier it now needs to be revisited for the failures that Steele brought to this table. But the fact that the CIA was objecting to steal dossier tells you something big about just how bad and how little a secret the FBI's misconduct was in the r community. John Solomon, Greg Jarrett vindicated both as well as this program. Everything we told you was true. And now we have the attorney general and prosecutor adoram, Wow, this is going to blow up into something massive. I can tell you right now. There's no way they would say these things if that was not true. And as we continue Sean Hannay Show, John Solomon, investigator reporter Greg Jarrett, legal analysts for Fox, also two best sellers. As a result of all of this, everything we've told you is dead on accurate. John, you actually go through the list of seventeen things. One of the top takeaways you get Greg, before we'll go through the seventeen that the Inspector General identified serious omissions and accuracies, failures, etc. What stands out the most to you, Greg, that the FBI knew that Carter Page was not a spy. You'll recall in the first fi so were in application, they absolutely declare that Carter Pages a spie. They knew he wasn't because they knew he had assisted the US government in previous cases against Russian spies. And you know they also knew that Carter Pages sent a letter to James Comey saying, Hey, I'm getting badgered by reporters You're on. Happy to sit down and talk to you about my recent trip to Russia. And instead of doing that, Comey decided to go to a FISU court lie to them and spy on Carter Page and ruining his life. You know, it's amazing because Carter Page. We figured him out over time. He was very reluctant to give me the information that you're saying here. He did not want to. I said, I had to figure out. So basically you worked, you work for our government. Well, let's just say I yeah, I kind of did. And I was like pulling teeth and I was warned, don't trust Carter Page. I'm like, really, because I was asking them all the hard questions. Greg, No, I mean I dug up the court documents and put it in my book about how he had assisted in the prosecution of Russians who were trolling you know, Americans for espionage purposes. Stay right there. When we come back, we'll go through the seventeen massive failures. Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, more, Greg and John and What a Hannity Tonight at Night. Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called the resistance, and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch and his administration. Now, resistance is the language used to describe insurgency against rule imposed by an occupying military power. This is a very dangerous and indeed incendiary notion to import into the politics of a democratic republic. The fact of the matter is that in waging a scorched earth, no holds barred war of resistance against this administration, it is the left that is engaged in the systematic shredding of norms and undermining the rule of law. Remember that from the speech given recently by the Attorney General Bill Barr today, Bar saying the FBI had insufficient basis to justify the steps they had taken into the investigation of the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen, and he said it's also clear from its inception the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation the surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into into President Trump's administration. He also said FBI officials misled the fis A court, omitted critically exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information to gaining the reliability of their principal source in a rush to maintain surveillance warrants on members of the Trump campaign, followed up by the criminal investigation. At this point, the US Attorney Durham John Durham, and we, by the way, who unlike Harrowitz, has the ability to convene grand juries and go forward with yes charging individuals based on the evidence collected to date. While our investigation is ongoing, we advise the Inspector General that we don't agree with some of his reports conclusions as to prediction predictions on how the FBI case was open. He said, the utmost respect, our investigation is not limited to like what's he's saying is Harwitz's limitations to developing information from with incomponent parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the US and outside the US. Now this is very key because these these are fiercely strong comments made by the Attorney General and by the US Attorney Durham, But in this way they were said about me. I'd have a lot to be worried about today, and what they are, what they are telegraphing here is very plain for anyone to see, because what do we learned today? We learned everything we told you is true, Yep, that the Boughton paid for unverifiable Clinton Russian dossier that that was defies The application was almost entirely based on it. A matter of fact that actually that only was three other things. The only additional information is on page one twenty six and seven, a statement that Paige was a senior foreign policy advisor for the Trump campaign and extensive ties to various state owned or affiliated entities of the Russian Federation. Yeah, he was working for the CIA. And then yeah, when the CIA said no, this guy's credible for our side, Yeah, they changed it. They literally altered the document on purpose. Wow. Two. The only other thing besides the dirty Clinton Boughton paid for Russian dossier by Steel that is unverifiable because he even he told them, yeah, now this guy's nutz. He's an egomaniac and known to make things up. And that was my only source. Wow. And the only other two things were Papadopolos's statement, which, by the way, also they took out the exculpatory information there in three open sources articles. Yeah, but that was leaked on purpose from the Steel dirty dossier. The rest of it was all the Boughton paid for unverifiable because it's not true. Now proven ninety percent of it not true because they can't prove one hundred percent yet and that was used for the whole time. And this is the this stinks too high heaven. In fact, if this had ever gone on, if it was Obama or Hillary, Wow, and then you got this, this witch hunt continuing all day to day. No fact witnesses. Again, here's say witnesses, obnue witnesses. Let's stay focused on this with John Solomon, investigative reporter, vindicated in a massive way today is his reporting as well as Greg Jarrett's reporting. Let's go through the list both of you, of the seventeen failures that were identified in this report. Now it's his own words. John will start with you on number one. Omitted information. Yeah, they omitted the fact that carter Page was considered a friendly to the US government working with the intelligence community and a Russia capacity unrelated to the Trump campaign, and to facilitate or to sustain that lie, they ultimately falsified documents to try to keep that omission from the court. Just remarkable. If the court knew that carter Page was considered a friendly useful to the United States government, might they have proceeded with US. I bet not. And oh, by the way, they until the court Hillary paid for it. I think that might have made a difference. They didn't tell the court it was unverified. That would have made a difference. They acted like this is gospel truth, Greg Jared. Number two is the source characterization statement asserting steals prior to reporting had been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings. That wasn't true, was it? No, it wasn't true at all. And they knew that Steele was dodgy and that his information was not just dubious but likely phony because they've been warned by people at the Department of Justice, Bruce or they'd been warned by Kathleen Cavallac at the State Department, don't trust this guy. You got to vet his information. They didn't vet it. They didn't corroborate it. It was unverified. And as you know, when you submit an FBI warrant to surveil to affy support the regulation specifically state and I'll vote only document, documented and verified information may be used in support of a FISA application. End of quote. They didn't do it. Let's go to the omitted information. John Solomon. Again, we're laying out seventeen unbelievable failures, spectacular failures and omissions and inaccuracies. But the omitted information relevant to person one what we believe to be Carter Page. I think, oh no, I'm sorry, no, no, no. The steel, the one source of steel they omitted that this guy and Steele had even told them. That's right, that this guy lies and yeah, he doesn't tell the truth. Here's here's the amazing thing about the single subsource that made up most of Steel's report. The subsource tells the FBI in January seventeen, I didn't say a lot of the stuff that's attributed to me, and Steele tells the FBI this guy's abloviator. And yet based on those two really bad references, they go ahead and use Dosser and its information. Anyways, it is the most clear evidence of intention. Knowing that those two things were that bigger problem and still proceeding with the application tells you these guys were in it for something other than the normal process of the FBI follows. It's really really egregious. And another key finding, Greg Jared is the circular reporting and that the FBI had assessed Steal did not directly provide the information to Yahoo. I assume as a coffin corn based on the premise that Steele had told the FBI only shared it with Fusion GPS and the FBI and his client. But they cite the Isikoff Yahoo News article as being a secondary corroborating source, when in fact it came from the original source, Christopher Steele. And the FBI pretends to the Fisichord that Steele didn't provide that information when they knew he did. You know, another lie to the FISA courting And that is clearly intentional. This isn't sloppy, reckless errors and omissions. Now, these are deliberate lies and deceptions and concealing of information to the court. And when they talked John important that Greg has it so right, Sean. But here's one thing. In the bottom of that Note four, it says that when the FBI told the court that Steele had only talked to the FBI Infusion GPS about about the dossier, the FBI already knew he had talked to the State Department that famous Kathleen Cavlac. That amounts to a false statement before federal court. So true. And look in the case about Papadopoulos and Page, and these were their consentsually monitored statements to the FBI, one in September, one in August, and Page's case, they literally omit these very exculpatory pieces of information. Yeah, no doubt, five six and seven significant omissions statements made of innocence to unwitting to undercover informance in the FBI repeatedly withhold them from the DOCI. That's what makes this go beyond just incompetence. Those are conscious decisions not to put evidence of innocence into to inform the court into the vice application. I think it's among the most serious stuff that was found by the IG. Agree, because if the federal law has been consistent for decades, if you have exculpatory of information, you must run to the nearest judge and tell him that they didn't do it, and they knew it very early in the process. What about let's go back to the subsource for just a second, which they admitted. You know, they're saying that the FBI found credible the subsource that even Steele said to them was a liar in an egomaniac that he'd made statements in January twenty seventeen that raised questions about the reliability of allegations that were in the applications, and including, for example, that they had no discussion with individuals concerning wiki leagues, where there was nothing bad about the communication between the Kremlin and the Trump team. Yeah, I would think that's important, John Solomon, Oh, yeah. In fact, it constitutes what is known as derogatory information under the FBI's confidential human source information. When you interview an informant subsource and that subsource doesn't stand by what the informant is saying he reported, that's known as derogatory information. And they had so much derogatory information on Steal, not just what he not the fact that his subsource disowned him, but also the fact that he had been talking to Steal a State department. The State department flag that he was giving them bad information. Remember that famous story that he claimed that the Miami consulate was coordinating the hacking activities. There was no Miami consulate for the Russian government. There is enormous evidence the FBI had derogatory information about Steel, and yet they certified in four consecutive vice applications were unaware of any derogatory information about this source. That is a lot. All right, let me ask you boldness because I want to let me jump forward. Because Number one, I would say there are a lot of people in deep trouble here, not the least as the liar and leaker Jim Comey. Based on the statements of both Barr and Durham today, Greg Jarrett, where do you see this now? Headed Well, I think Durham has obtained either leads or solid information of corruption and lawlessness and will pursue it against those individuals. We just don't know who they are. I find it interesting. I have candidates. Would it likely be Coomey, Clapper, Brennan and company. Those would be the logical candidates. But we can't say for sure because we just don't know what Durham has. But he seems very confident that he has it. Where do you see it going, John Listen? I think the very next step is what does the Justice Department do to the FI support. Does it go to the FI succort and light of these revelations and say we need to withdraw these vice applications, we need to come clean with you court. That would be a momentous first step in trying to create accountability and clean up this process. Then there's a grand jury and Durham has the ability to go bring people before it and get things that the IG couldn't get. Then there's the hearing with Senator Grassley excuse me, Senator Graham. Are part of a step. This is a long sprint, and accountability is going to occur over multiple steps, over multiple months. But the first thing to watch for, does the Justice Department do something with the FI succort over the next few days. Well, I think they have to. I mean, we just played Rob Rosenstein earlier. I mean he says that if you find out you got something wrong, you to go back and fix it. And by the way, that's another issue that really wasn't addressed, that they had an obligation when they knew this information. They presented to the court the dirty dossier, the bulk of the applications four times, withholding exculpatory information that the court withholding information about Hillary's involvement only one source. I mean, they've known this all forever and they never went back to fix it. All right, wrapping up as we conclude vindication, John Solomon, Greg Jarrett, all Right, So I think it's Look, it's a long report, it's a lot to digest. We're going to really try and sum it up on Hannity tonight. Both of you will be joining us. If this doesn't if we don't get to the bottom of this, Greg Jarrett, and we don't hold these people accountable for this abuse of power, we're in trouble. I think, real quick, it'll continue to happen. We learn from this report how easy it is for the FBI to open an investigation of anybody and convince a judge to permit court sanctions. Alience and deception was the key. It's all true, John, Yeah, I think Greg said it perfectly. I think there are two other revelations in his report that are going to sink in in a few days. One of them is about Bruce Or it's the report concludes that he showed an exorbitantly bad judgment in allowing becoming a conduit and a witness and allowing Christopher Steele to keep communicating to the FBI after he'd been fired. I think there's more to that thread that we ought to be paying attention to. And then here's the one that no one picked up on yet that I think is so important. The FBI sent an agent, I got a role a lot more tonight, Meadows and Jordan next, stay right here for our final news round up and information overload. So what is your view of the way that the FBI interacted with Steele and how we should understand what his role was here? Lots of a big questions. So, look, the investigation was not predicated on the basis of the information the Christopher Steel gave to us in the form of the dossier. That is just not was not my understanding at the time and has never been my understanding. So just to say that flat out Steel at the time, my understanding was that he was thought to be a reliable source that had had a prior relationship with the FBI and brought this information to us. Look with I don't know how to say this other we're not stupid, right the FBI, We're not stupid. You take the information and you try to vet it, and that my recollection is we spent a lot we the Bureau, the folks in the Counterintelligence Division, spent a lot of time trying to vet that information line by line. Uh. Yeah, they didn't do that because it was unverifiable. I mean, this is the This is the most amazing thing because we now know everything we've been telling you is true. That was Baker saying that whenever he said it, line by a line, we went. But no, when the FBI finally got around to vetting it long after the fact, we know that none of it was verifiable. And now we also know that Steele told them it was unverifiable. Pretty unbelievable. What we know that. Okay, So the bulk of information, as the new Ness report told us, and as the Grassly Graham memo told us, Yeah, that would have been the Steel dossier, the unverified Clinton bought and paid for dirty Russian dossier. They wouldn't have gotten the Fizer tip the balance, it said. What were they saying? Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that was what tipped the balance in all of this? What kind of pushed it over the line in terms of the FBI being ready to use this? And I'll tell you another thing that nobody's really paying attention to here is I want to know the calls by Brennan to Russia in August and September or twenty sixteen given them a heads up, according to a a report, and the Obama call to Russia giving them a heads up, but no defense defensive briefing with the drum campaign. Why wouldn't they ask the American citizen first and say, because I'm sure Trump would have said, oh wow, we got to get to the bottom of that. They never gave him that chance. And you know, then we know that we have page and Papadopolis. Yeah, alterations left and right. Unbelievable anyway, somebody who's been critical in getting all of this information out. Frankly, I don't know where we'd be, as I say many many times, without the Freedom Caucus. And I guess you were the original president of the Freedom Caucus. Is that true? Well? Uh, Sean, Actually, Jim Jordan was the original chairman. He and I founded it. I was the second chairman, and then we went on to actually pass the baton to Andy Biggs. No, all right, let's get your take the bulk of information. There are only three minor other items used in the FISA application. The rest of it was what we now know to be an unverifiable Russian dossier that Hillary paid for that even when they checked in with Christopher Stile, that Christopher Steele knew was phony too. He said, yeah, my one source was nuts an egomaniac and didn't often tell the truth right. And and and here's a bigger problem. It's not that it was just unverifiable, it's just it was verifiably wrong and a lie. I mean, when when we look at this, Sean, everything that you've been saying and reporting on for many many months year, you know, over a year. Now we know now based on the IGS report, that that indeed you were accurate. The FBI, James Baker, you just played that little tape. Maybe he wasn't stupid, but he certainly was looking the other way. And I've found, uh, eating through this report. As you know, I've gone through a couple of hours briefing. We've been going through this report, combing it through with a fine tooth comb. One of the biggest things that is not being widely reported yet is when the FBI came in to do a defensive briefing with candidate Donald Trump and candidate Hillary Clinton. They did two defensive briefings. They were supposed to be exactly alike, except the FBI proved put in an informant in the defensive briefing while they were supposed to be helping candidate Donald Trump they were actually surveying him, and that goes along with twelve other times that they actually secretly recorded Trump campaign officials. I just find it appalling. The American people should be up in arms. I know you and I are, well, we will right all along, you will right all along. Jim Jordan was right all along, John Solomon, Greg Jared, you know, Victoria, Joe go go on the list. You know, Jim actually pointed out today, Oh, we only thought that they spied on two Americans. Now we know it was four. Yeah, it was four, multiple times. And one of one of the people that they spied on was not even a subject or a target of the investigation. So what that means for your your listeners is is that they actually spied on a Trump campaign associate that was not even under suspicion for this investigation. And I guess I have to ask for what reason? Hmm, Well, let's go to what the prosecutor, John Durham has said. Let's go This is fascinating to me because you have the Attorney General bar saying that this, you know, this investigation launched on the thinnest of suspicions. We now know all it was was one comment at a party or a bar by George Popanopolis, that was it. That bar also said that the report, you know, the FBI had insufficient basis to justify the steps they took in investigating the Trump campaign in twenty sixteen, and that concluding that the report the Bureau had authorized purpose. But it's also clear from its inception the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory, and nonetheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into Trump's administration. Now we also know that it's an unverifiable document. But yet if you go to page one twenty six and one twenty seven, what do we see. We say that the bulk of information, I'll read it, the Fiser request form drew almost entirely from Steals reporting in describing the factual basis to establish probable cause to believe that Page was an agent of a foreign power, and on top of that, to get there, to get to Carter Page, then they actually had to change the fact that he is working with the CIA and good standing apparently, well yes, And so now what we do know is that one of the documents that has changed they actually go in to review that and they get a confirmation back that says, yeah, Page has been helping out the US government, and the FBI changes that document and then does not allow defies a court to know any of that. So, you know, here's here's the troubling part, Sean. As we start to dig into this, the deep you dig, the more difficult it is to comprehend how anyone could let this happen. How could James Comy allow this to happen? How could Andrew McCabe allow this to happen on their watch? And all you can say is they were either extremely poor supervisors yet they were getting briefed every week on this investigation, or they were complicit and allowing it to continue. Durham, you're you're right, has mentioned a couple of things. He is going beyond where the Inspector General is going. Where he's looking at the origins of that doesn't include other Intel agencies. Were they involved? Uh? What was the predicate for opening all of this up? And and I can I can tell you that some of our worst fears have come really to fruition as we look at this report, the deeper we dive into it, the more uh scathing the review is. I think Director Ray has said there's going to be forty different things that he is going to put into place to try to make sure this doesn't happen again. Forty four zero. Uh. You know, why is he so quiet? You know, I think he got in and originally he was being told by some in that small inner circle, oh, we didn't do anything wrong. Then all of a sudden, as this report started to pick up steam, and as his review, along with Attorney General Bars started to take on hold, I think they realized that not only did they have a problem, but they had a systemic problem that had to be addressed. But for a long time I was questioning where whether Director Ray was going to address it or cover it up. Hopefully today as the start of actually addressing it. Do you believe at the end of the day that this was just because they hated Donald Trump and this was the insurance policy? Well, I think this was the insurance policy that they referred to as part of it to try to make sure that this investigation. But here's what you're also going to find, and here's what you and I and a number of us need to make sure the American people are reminded of before President Trump was actually inaugurated in January of twenty seventeen, the f I knew they had no case. They didn't tell President elect Trump they had no case. They continued to investigate from January through May. Then they get a special prosecutor. They spend thirty million dollars, all of this based on the fact that they knew they had no case, and they continued to, you know, just place a hoax on the American people. And I find that not only a waste of taxpayer of money, but it is really a breach of trust between the FBI and the American people. The idea that one source that was questionable. Look, Christopher Steele didn't stand by his own dossier. You know, they lied. They literally had to alter a thing with Carter page right. And I've got to be honest, I've never seen such a corrupt abuse of power. And to think that none of this should have happened. What do you make of Durham saying are in investigation is not limited to developing information from within the component parts of the Justice Department, meaning we have the ability to go way beyond your little area. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the US and outside the US. I take that to mean Great Britain, Italy, Australia. And then we get into the intel issues. Well, as I mentioned before, once again, Sean, you're over the target. You're exactly over the target, because that's what John Durham is looking at. We now know that this investigation was done just wholly within the FBI and didn't even go beyond some of the key witnesses. For example, the IGS report did not interview Lynn Simpson with Fusion GPS, and yet he would be a central key in the dossier and all the coordinating efforts, and yet they did not interview that because he declined to be interviewed. And if he declined to be interviewed, how does Coomy get to lie? Think of the spectacular lies identified here. Now, remember he signed the first dossier, the first FISA warrant application. Then he goes to the White House, I'm sorry, goes to Trump Tower in January before the president sworn end says it's salatious but unverified. But yet at the top of the dossier it says verified. So that makes him a big liar because then he signed two more FISA applications with the bulk of information being the unverifiable steal dossier that Hillary bad for Russian dossier. Right, And that's where the problem is going to come in is James Komy either was an apt in his job or he was part of this whole FISA abuse, as you mentioned, a fraud on the f abuse court. Indeed it happened. Here's the interesting thing is the FBI was tasked with getting with getting the information. They were supposed to give the information were to the National Security Council, who would drive draft up the by the application. Well, the National Security Council, they weren't even getting the information from the investigators. They were, you know, putting it in a closet or in a desk drawer instead of actually conveying it to the court. And this is what Andrew McCabe and James Comey were getting briefed every week on and somehow it slipped through not once, not twice, but three different times. It's just beyond comprehension. All right, Mark Meadows, we'd be lost without you. Great job. We appreciate all that you did here. You made a lot of this possible today blood sweat tiers. You, Devin Ratcliffe, Jordan Gates was great today. Everybody. Honestly, all the Freedom Caucus guys have been phenomenal. Well, thank you, Sean. I appreciate you leading the charge and keeping the American people informed. We couldn't have done it without you. Do you see that the super patriot Jim Comey, the liar Comy, is now well? He said, I offered to be on Fox and Friends, and Fox and Friends canceled me. Now, meanwhile, the people at Fox and Friends they just checked, is that we didn't have him booked on anything. What do you think should I invite him on this radio show again for three hours? He hasn't taken us up on our offer, and I'll give him an hour on TV? Do you think he'll come? I mean this, and he's an ingomaniac, so anything's possible. You think? Does he not know? At this point? This is amazing to me because he went in January twenty seventeen, goes to the Trump Tower, says in the meeting to the president then president elect, the dossier silacious but unverified. Okay, but at the top of fies the application that he's signed in October and the two of the three subsequent renewals it says verified. Now we have the report that says the bulk of information was the dirty bought and paid for Clinton Russian dossier. So he's using an unbeified and that was the bulk of information. How does he get out of that one? He just lies, right, He's very good at lying. He's perfected that because nobody ever questions. And when no one questions you, no higher loyalty becomes a best seller. That's a good point. All right, Well, invite him. What the hell? Quick break right back, a lot more explaining Big Day, Big night to night on Hannity. You don't want to miss this ninetiest on the Fox News Channel. All right, twenty five till the top of the hour. Well, what did we tell you? We said, premeditated fraud on a FISA court and an operation Crossfire Hurricane. But you know what's so amazing about that is this is not even really in the spectrum of where Harwitz does most of his work. Here all of it has proven now and as I look at the extraordinary statements that were released today by the Attorney General and by John Dorham, I mean it's almost unprecedented now for a lot of reasons, of which I went into a the first hour today. I won't go back into it now. Bar saying of this ig report, how the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of President Trump's campaign on the thinnest of suspicions and what did we say, premeditated fraud ondifies a court for the purpose of backdooring, which is all confirmed in this report, spying or all things into Trump world, Trump campaign, then transition and then Trump presidency and all predicated. The whole thing gets launched over what Papadopolis says at a bar, that's it. That's how thin it was. But again we have Hillary Clinton and a dirty DOTSI nobody ever paid attention to that. And when Barr is saying the thinnest of suspicions, it was launched, saying that this report, in his opinion, the FBI had insufficient basis to justify the steps taken in the investigation of the Trump campaign, putting him at odds with Urwitz in some ways aspects more especially about Operation Crossfire Hurricane that you know, it's clear from its inception the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Think about that. That is huge. Yet the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration. Now, when you have an Attorney General saying this on top of his previously made comments and then John Duran's comments, he got to pay close attention to this because this is now what we'll learn. What we've learned here is everything we've reported as true. We've been right the whole time. But it's not one thing we can see here that we got wrong, and that the you know, the FBI officials misled the FIZO court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, suppressed or ignored information, negating the reliability of their princeable source in a rush to maintain surveillance warrants on members of the Trump campaign, and while most of them as conduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in twenty sixteen and seventeen, by this now by the now former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General's report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process. And this then gets to the comments of John Durham. I have the utmost respect for the office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by mister Horowitz and his staff. However, I remember Inspector General has no ability because he's already made referrals for Komey, m McKay, ben Struck and paid. That's all's happened in his previous reports. I have the utmost respect for him. Now the real criminal investigation that is in the realm of Durham. Our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. He's basically what he's saying here is well, no, we got a lot more coming and our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities. By the way, this is where we're now going to get into Italy and Great Britain, Australia and outsourcing of spying and all of that, on top of really really hammering home on how corrupt and what an abuse of power all of this was and how political it's been. And Durham goes on based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing. Last month we advise the Inspector General. We do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to prediction and how the FBI case was open. It was open on one issue, the Papadopolis call. Let me go to the page four to fourteen. We're deeply concerned with so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, handpicked investigative teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations after the matter had been brief to the highest levels within the FBI, even though the information sought, your use of FISA authority related so closely to an ongoing presidential campaign, even though those involved with the investigation knew that their actions were likely to be subjected to close scrutiny. We believe that this circumstance reflects a failure not just by those who prepared applications, but also by the managers and supervisors in the crossfire Hurricane chain of command, including FBI senior officials who are briefed as the investigation progressed. Great job, Jim Comey. We do not expect managers and supervisors to know every fact about an investigation, or senior leaders to know all the details of cases of which they are briefed. However, especially in the FBI's most sensitive and high priority matters, and especially when seeking court permission to use an intrusive tool such as a FISA order, it is incumbent upon the entire chain of command, including senior officials, to take the necessary steps to ensure that they're sufficiently familiar with the facts and circumstances supporting and potentially undermining a FISA application in order to provide effective oversight consistent with their level of supervisory responsibilities. Such oversight requires greater familiarity with the facts than we saw in this review, where time and again during the interviews FBI managers, supervisors senior officials displayed a lack of understanding or awareness of important information concerning many of the problems we have identified in the preparation of FISA applications to surveil Carter page cross by. Our Hurricane team failed to comply with FBI policies and in so doing fell short of what is rightfully expected from the premier law enforcement agency and trusted with such an intrusive surveillance tool. In light of the significant concerns identified with the Carter Page buys applications, we now know that they actually changed, that they literally altered so that they could use this process anyway, and other described in the report. The OIG today initiated an audit that will further examine the FBI's compliance with WOODS procedures and buys applications that target US persons in both counterintelligence and counter terrorism investigations. Then they go on to make recommendations into all of this. But when you think Barr saying that the FBI launched this thing on the thinnest of suspicions insufficient to justify any of the steps taken, is my numbing. They omitted the FBI had obtained from another US agency details of Carter Page's prior work as an operational contact for that other agency. He worked for our side, as he'd been telling us. He didn't light to us on the show, and he provided information to other agencies concerning his prior contacts, one of which over lapped the facts asserted in Faiza in including a source characterization statement which by the way, overstated the significance of Steel's past reporting not approved by Steele's handling agent omitted information relevant to the reliability of person a key Steel's subsource. By the way, we now know again it was never verifiable. Steele himself told members of the Crossfire Hurricane team that Person one was a boaster and an egoist. I have no idea if any of it's true, asserted. The FBI had assess that Steele did not directly provide to the press information based on the Yahoo news. This is the hacks we talk about, Michael Lizakov and David corn. Oh yeah, they're exposed here big time. They took they took propaganda, ran with it, lies and ran with it. Welcome to your fake news media and shared. Uh. Steele had told the FBI he only shared with his election related research with the FBI, Fusion GPS, his client. The premise was incorrect contradicted by documentation in the Woods file. Steele had told the FBI he also gave information of the State Department. They admitted Papadopoulos's consensually monitored statements exculpatory, let's put it that way. As it related to outside groups. They admitted pages consensually monitored statements. Literally never met or said one word to Paul Manafort. Wow, amazing you can say that and then it gets changed around, isn't it omitted? Other statements paid Page made that we're in consistence with their theory denying haven't met certain individuals. See whether this is going here? All of it. They didn't provide anything that was correct. This, you know, go back to the beginning. What matters here? What matters here is well, how did we have the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal ever? Not only is he talking about severely flawed FISA applications, failures to properly vet steel and seek information about Clinton funding? What else? What else do we find out? They sought to spy on Carter Page because an agent thought his past relationship with Russia could be a clandestine relationship. Oh but take out that he actually worked for another agency with three letters. When asked for the motivations behind the Steel dossier, the agent involved doesn't respond. And everything that we've been saying, no dossier, no FISA application weren't approved. That is clear. Without the Steel dossier, they would not have gotten the FISA application approved period. The FISA application. Remember, the bulk of information from the FIES application was almost entirely based on the Steel dossier. We learned that today. You know, how much more do we have to know here? But This is you know, nothing but corruption at the highest level. This was about getting Trump, This was about destroying This was their whole insurance policy. You know, you look at every aspect of this. You know you have the what you know, what was Steel hired to do? Well, now we know, Steel under oath said I have no idea if any of it's true. Y FBI could articulate why it deemed Steel's reporting to be credible because they were advised, based on information from Steel, that Steel was specifically hired by an individual to provide the information on the candidate. They failed to They failed to tell the court that Hillary paid for this. How do you how do you not tell the court? What is the number one conclusion in all of this? How do you get that you don't vet steal and seek information about, you know, being funded by by the Clinton camp. Well, that that might be you know, the dirty dossier, by the way, played an essential role in the decision to seek Faiza. And by the way, they never bothered to ever corroborate any of it, and they used it anyway because it was the only part that they can use. Um. This is devastating, But I'll tell you what's even more devastating is that now the now you have the prosecutor involved in the real criminal investigation, because Harwood's never had that power to convene a grand jury or to press charges on anybody. But they found the quantity of omissions and inaccurate season all the obvious errors that were made deeply concerning you think may have improperly substituted their own judgment instead of what facts are. Yeah, that would be because they hated Trump so so bad, so many basic fundamental errors were made on four fives applications by three separate, handpicked teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations that was brief to the highest levels within the FBI and FBI officials expected would eventually be subjected to close scrutiny, raised significant questions according regarding the FBI's chain of command, management, etc. Etc. I mean, it's unbelievable you look at this. We believe the more should have been done to examine Steele's contacts. It's all there. They never bothered, they never cared because they had their predetermined conclusion in all of this. You know, a mountain of red flags that they ignored regarding Steel, their failure and creating you the misleading application. They were all warned ahead of time seventeen specific errors and omissions in these applications, seventeen of them. They didn't give equal attention or treatment or the relevant facts or probable cause at any point. It was all a foregone conclusion. Steel was paid by the FBI for years. FBI admitted much of Steel's work was never corroborated or verified. But how does it then become the bulk of information and defies the application as confirmed in this report today? How does that happen unless you have an agenda? I will say this again. The mob and the media was wrong. They lie constantly. This should have been their story, the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in history. And the good news today is both bar and Dorham are like adamant that this is getting worse by the hour for them and all these deep state operatives.
