All Right, you remember a couple of it's 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,719 probably a couple of weeks ago, now, had a discussion 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,920 with Mike. He calls pretty frequently. He's and I've known 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,759 Mike for years. He was he's a lawyer in town here. 13 00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:47,840 He's a Democrat, he's run for office, Democrat party official 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:53,359 for a while, and he was arguing with me over 15 00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:58,200 the term the Russian collusion hoax. You remember this. If 16 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,000 you haven't, you should go back and listen to the podcast. 17 00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:02,079 It's totally free.

He was 21 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:21,200 beefing with the term Russian collusion hoax. I'm not going 22 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,640 to rehash the argument I was right, he was wrong. 23 00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:27,640 That's the short version. And so here's a story by 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:33,239 John Solomon over at Justthnews dot com. We have a 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,560 new development. Although I knew I mean old information, but 26 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,719 now we know it. Here's the story a career intelligence 27 00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,840 officer who worked for the Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, 28 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,599 which is also referred to as HIPSI, which is the 29 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,959 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence HPSCI. And so you'll 30 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,560 here referred to as House Intelligence Committee, the Intel Committee, 31 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,560 or HIPSIE. So this intelligence officer who worked for the 32 00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:13,479 Democrats because you got you know, members of Congress who 33 00:02:13,479 --> 00:02:16,319 are Republicans, who are Democrats, and then you've got intel 34 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,960 officers that work with these members of how of the 35 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,159 House on this committee. And he worked for more than 36 00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:29,759 a decade for the Democrats on HIPSIE. And he repeatedly 37 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,840 warned the FBI beginning in twoenty seventeen. So during the 38 00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:41,719 first year of Trump's first term, right, he was warning 39 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:55,719 the FBI that then Representative Adam Schiff for Brains had 40 00:02:55,759 --> 00:03:02,479 approved leaking classified information to smear then President Donald Trump 41 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:09,680 over the now debunked Russia Gates scandal, an Intel agent 42 00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:15,759 telling the FBI right out of the gate that Adam 43 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:23,039 Schiff had approved leaking leaking classified information and doing so 44 00:03:23,199 --> 00:03:26,800 with the intent to smear Trump. He told them this 45 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,240 in twenty seventeen. I mean, little did he know that. 46 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,960 All the way up the chain of command, which are 47 00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:37,599 police chief in Washington, DC doesn't know what that means. 48 00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:38,960 But all the way up the chain of command in 49 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,120 the FBI, they were all on board with the smear. 50 00:03:41,479 --> 00:03:45,439 So I assume that's why it never went anywhere. These 51 00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:48,599 are called three O two interviews. I guess it's a 52 00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:50,800 form that they fill out called the three O two 53 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,800 the FBI three O two interview, and the reports from 54 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,960 these interviews have been obtained by just thenews dot org 55 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:06,599 and this the report states that the Intel staffer, who 56 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,599 is a Democrat by party affiliation, and described himself as 57 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,360 a friend to both Shiff now the California US Senator. 58 00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:21,199 He said he described himself as a friend to both 59 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:27,959 Shift and to the Republican House Intelligence Chairman Devin Newness, 60 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,959 so he got along with both of them. He's a 61 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,639 registered Democrat, but he's like I was friends with both 62 00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:38,560 of them, and he said that he considered the classified 63 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,399 leaking to be quote unethical, illegal, and quote treasonous, but 64 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,120 he was told not to worry about it because Schiff 65 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,560 believed that he would be spared prosecution under the Constitution's 66 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,480 Speech and Debate clause. What is that about. This is 67 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,920 the clause that allows cowards to go to the floor 68 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,279 of the Senate or the House and make a speech 69 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,600 and say whatever they want and never be sued for slander. 70 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,759 They could say whatever they want on the floor. If 71 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:17,000 they say this stuff outside of these speeches from the floor, 72 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,560 then they can be sued. So and by the way, 73 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,759 there's no legal rulings or anything like that to test 74 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,040 the extent of this as it regards to classified leaking. 75 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:38,040 But Shiff says, it's fine, don't worry. I got immunity. 76 00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:43,000 I can leak classified information. Think about that. This guy 77 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,920 said he can leak this because I have protection when 78 00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:51,399 I'm speaking from the floor. This is such a bizarre excuse. 79 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,800 And by the way, the stafford did not believe this. 80 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,000 No publicly disclosed opinion from the Attorney General or the 81 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Solicitor General can be found making that determination as a 82 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,360 matter of law. But officials told Just the News that 83 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,920 DOJ officials showed little to zero interest in pursuing shift 84 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,319 when the allegations were brought to them years ago, and 85 00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:21,360 they cited the very same excuse that Schiff offered. Quote. 86 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,480 When working in this capacity, the staffer was called to 87 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,519 an all staff meeting by Shiff. In this meeting, Schiff 88 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:36,000 stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory 89 00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:38,839 to the President of the United States Donald J. Trump. 90 00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:45,839 Schiff stated the information would be used to indict President Trump. Well, 91 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,199 there is your smoking gun. He literally called a staff 92 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,600 meeting and said we're going to leak this stuff and 93 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:58,199 the purposes to get Trump indicted. The whistleblower told investigators. 94 00:06:59,079 --> 00:07:01,759 Remember here, it doesn't matter if Trump would be found 95 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,279 guilty or not. The point was the indictment, which is 96 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,319 how you explain all of the indictments we saw. After 97 00:07:08,399 --> 00:07:12,519 Trump got out of office, right, they continued this same strategy. 98 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,519 Why so they got to beat the drum and say 99 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,720 indicted forty eight times, convicted felon. They get to say 100 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:22,319 all of this and it didn't even matter. That's the 101 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,439 irony here, is like they spent all this time and 102 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,199 effort and taxpayer money, not only besmirching their own reputations 103 00:07:29,199 --> 00:07:32,680 and such, but actually elevating Donald Trump to the point 104 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,800 where he carried every swing state. People saw what was 105 00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:41,759 being done to him and they were like, yeah, no, 106 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,519 this is not good. This is not cool. The whistleblower 107 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,800 told investigators that he stated this would be illegal. You 108 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:52,680 can't do this, guys, that's what the staffer said. Upon 109 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,560 hearing his concerns, Unnamed members at the meeting reassured him 110 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,040 that they would not be caught leaking c classified information. 111 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,720 So that's the that's their response, Like, guys, guys, we 112 00:08:06,759 --> 00:08:10,120 should not be doing this. You can't be leaking classified information. 113 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,160 Number one, number two, you really can't be doing it 114 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,079 just to try to get a guy you don't like 115 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:21,120 politically indicted. And their response was, don't worry, We're not 116 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,920 gonna get caught, which isn't That doesn't go to his concern. 117 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,399 His concern is that it's illegal, but in their mind, 118 00:08:30,959 --> 00:08:35,720 it's not illegal if you don't get caught. It's sort 119 00:08:35,759 --> 00:08:39,480 of like the Costanza rule about lying George Costanza from 120 00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,799 the documentary series Seinfeld, Right, it's not a lie if 121 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,200 you believe it, it's not illegal. If you don't get caught. 122 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,799 The staffer made similar claims to agents in the FBI's 123 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,679 Washington Field office as early as twenty seventeen, shortly after 124 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,440 Trump took office for his first term. Shift Surprise Surprise 125 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,799 has not returned calls for comment on this. The alleged 126 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,279 leaks fall outside the statute of limitations for prosecution, so 127 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:19,679 it appears Shift for Brains is going to skate on 128 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,360 this all right.

So John Solomon at Justthnews dot com reporting 150 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,879 on this exclusive story that a Democrat whistleblower told the 151 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:40,600 FBI that Adam Schiff had okayed leaking classified intel specifically 152 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,840 to hurt Donald Trump. Some of the DOJ officials who 153 00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:51,879 declined to prosecute the leaking the rash of classified leaks 154 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,039 during the Russia Gate affair still remain employed in positions 155 00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:02,559 of power, Solomon reports. Cash Bettel said, quote for years, 156 00:11:02,919 --> 00:11:07,919 certain officials used their positions to selectively leak classified information 157 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,919 to shape political narratives. It was all done with one purpose, 158 00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:17,159 to weaponize intelligence and law enforcement for political gain. Those 159 00:11:17,159 --> 00:11:23,919 abuses eroded public trust in our institutions. Schiff previously served 160 00:11:23,919 --> 00:11:26,759 as the ranking member and then the chairman of the 161 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:30,960 House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence or Hipsy HPSCI Hipsy. 162 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,159 Before he ascended to the US Senate, he pushed false 163 00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:41,080 allegations of Trump Russia collusion for many years. See that 164 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,200 right there is why I call it the Russia collusion hoax, 165 00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:50,039 because it was a hoax that they were perpetrating. That 166 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:57,399 guys like Schiff and also Swallwell, former paramour of Fangfang, 167 00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:03,440 that they pushed that Trump was colluding with Russia. Russia 168 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,000 was colluding with Trump, but that was a hoax. So 169 00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:10,159 the Russia collusion hoax. Okay, That's why I call it that. 170 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:16,600 He also was touting the Steele dossier, the discredited Steele dossier, 171 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,679 even reading multiple baseless claims from it into the congressional 172 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:26,559 record in March of twenty seventeen. The whistleblower began approaching 173 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,960 the FBI in that same year, twenty seventeen. In one meeting, 174 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,279 this Democratic HIPSI staffer, this intelligence officer, registered Democrat, worked 175 00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:41,840 for the Democrats. He told the FBI that retired Lieutenant 176 00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:45,799 General Mike Flynn, who was Trump's first national security advisor. 177 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,759 He told the FBI that Flynn was going to be 178 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,840 a specific focus of the committee as part of a 179 00:12:53,879 --> 00:13:00,519 broader effort to target Trump, which is interesting. I guess 180 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,840 that the officer I don't know what intelligence agency he 181 00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:11,759 worked in, but apparently not the FBI, but maybe. But 182 00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:14,000 he goes to the FBI and he's like, guys, they're 183 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,559 looking to target Mike Flynn. They're going after Mike Flynn. 184 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:22,159 They're leaking classified information. And the FBI is like, okay, 185 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,480 good to know. Yes, we'll take it under advisement and 186 00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:32,200 we'll check into it. Meanwhile, the FBI did what they 187 00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:36,919 sent agents to Mike Flynn and got him in a 188 00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:41,279 perjury trap, right because Mike Flynn thought that this was 189 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,960 just a meet and greet, like hey, you're the new 190 00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:48,000 national security advisor. We're in the FBI, just want to 191 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,039 drop in, say hey, we're in the Washington Field office whatever. 192 00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:54,519 And they start chatting and then Flynn tells them something 193 00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:56,440 about like oh no, I didn't have that phone call. 194 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,639 We talked about something else or whatever, and then they 195 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:01,559 were like got him. And Flynn never knew that he 196 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,840 was being interrogated, that this was some sort of like 197 00:14:04,879 --> 00:14:14,679 criminal investigation. But this hipsy, this committee staffer, intelligence officer, Democrat, 198 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,919 he knew what was going on, and he alerted the 199 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,600 FBI like, hey, head's up. The FBI was like, yeah, sure, 200 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:22,879 no problem, Yet we already talked to him. We're already 201 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:29,039 nailing him. The whistleblower also specifically pointed to Representative Eric Swalwell, 202 00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:34,080 Democrat from Fangfeng, as a likely source of classified leaks. 203 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:40,279 According to the FBI three h two report, this staffer 204 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,399 also allegedly told a former Republican colleague on the committee 205 00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:50,519 that he was fired. He was terminated because Schiff's staff 206 00:14:51,279 --> 00:14:55,080 did not believe that he had adequate quote unquote party 207 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:03,240 loyalty after he raised concerns about the leak's strategy. Well, 208 00:15:03,279 --> 00:15:06,720 I thought only Donald Trump aka Orange Hitler. I thought 209 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,879 Donald Trump was the only one who valued that kind 210 00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:13,080 of loyalty and would exact revenge on people who were 211 00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:18,759 insufficiently loyal. Every allegation is a confession with these people. 212 00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:25,399 The whistleblower was interviewed not once but twice in twenty seventeen, 213 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:32,240 and then four more times over six years. This guy 214 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,279 gave six interviews over the course of six or seven 215 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:43,840 years about the leaks from Shifth, but the Justice Department 216 00:15:43,919 --> 00:15:49,000 prosecutors never moved forward with any of it. Here's a 217 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,879 great idea. How about making an escape to a really 218 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,159 special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina.

John Solomon at Justthnews 239 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:10,920 dot com reporting that a Democratic whistleblower intel officer Democrat 240 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,519 who served with the Democrats on the House Permanent Select 241 00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:18,599 Committee told the FBI in December twenty seventeen during an 242 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,039 interview at his home that the House Permanent Select Committee 243 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:28,519 on Intelligence the hipsy work environment started to change around 244 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:36,000 August of twenty sixteen as the election approached. Clinton Trump election, 245 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:44,480 Democratic staffers revealed that they leaked during a September twenty 246 00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:48,480 sixteen staff meeting, so two months month and a half 247 00:17:48,519 --> 00:17:53,839 before the election, the staffers on the House Permanent Select 248 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Committee that were Democrat staffers for the Democrat members, they 249 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,119 talked about how they were taking classified information to the media. 250 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,640 The whistleblower told the FBI in December twenty seventeen that 251 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,519 the HIPSI minority the Democrats viewed the twenty sixteen election 252 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:17,440 and it's aftermath as a constitutional crisis, and that by 253 00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:22,119 February of twenty seventeen, after Trump took office. Quote, all 254 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,319 hell broke loose. I was saying it at the time. 255 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,680 Now I was not here at WBT, I was working 256 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,599 up in Asheville, but I was saying it at the time. 257 00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:33,640 I continued to say it because the left has still 258 00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:41,240 not changed their hyperbolic catastrophism on Trump, that you know 259 00:18:41,279 --> 00:18:44,559 this is the end of the democracy, and that this 260 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:50,279 is a constitutional crisis, and he's literally Hitler like all 261 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:57,640 of these that beyond the pale accusations, it gives you 262 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,480 a permission structure to do any thing. And this is 263 00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:07,559 precisely what I'm talking about. I guess I should leak 264 00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:10,680 classified information, whether it's true or not. But I guess 265 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,440 I should leak it because I'm trying to save the democracy. Right, 266 00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:17,400 I'm trying to save the republic. I'm just kidding. Democrats 267 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,079 would never call it the republic, but that anything becomes 268 00:19:21,559 --> 00:19:27,119 permission permissible. The Democratic minority leadership, by the way, the 269 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,319 same thing they do the same thing with global warming, 270 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,160 sorry climate change, right, they do the same thing with that. 271 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,440 They do the same thing with education funding. They do 272 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,480 the same thing with any kind of reforms to Social 273 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,599 Security or Medicare, or hey, we don't want illegal aliens 274 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,319 collecting Medicaid. So everything becomes like, oh my gosh, this 275 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,160 is the worst thing ever. You're destroying everything. We're all 276 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,039 gonna die, and so therefore I get to do whatever 277 00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:58,960 I want. The Democratic Minority leadership of the HIPSY was 278 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,480 aware of the leak, but was under the impression that 279 00:20:02,599 --> 00:20:06,480 leaking the information was one way to topple the administration 280 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,680 and fix the constitutional crisis. They thought they were doing 281 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,759 the good thing. We're the moral people in this equation 282 00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:25,559 because it's literally Hitler Stalin Mao all rolled up into one. 283 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,559 The Democrat whistleblower provided details to the FBI in August 284 00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:33,799 of twenty seventeen about a meeting that had occurred that 285 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,759 previous February, so about six months prior, in which the 286 00:20:39,799 --> 00:20:44,599 staff meeting, the HIPSY staff meeting among these Democrats and 287 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,400 members of Congress, the Democrat staffers and this intel officer 288 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,319 where where the HIPSY staff director and the general council 289 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,440 advised the Minority staff that he wanted to drive the 290 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:04,000 quote Russian in involvement issue and wanted to drive it 291 00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:08,319 into a joint inquiry similar to the nine to eleven commission. 292 00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:12,119 That was the goal. He instructed the staff to use 293 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,440 any resources they had developed within the intelligence community to 294 00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:20,680 gather facts. He wanted to make the information public and 295 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,000 use the media to compel public opinion to bring about 296 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,920 the joint inquiry. This was all by design, That's why 297 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,160 it was a hoax. They knew what they were doing. 298 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,920 They weren't being misled. It just wasn't like, oh, we 299 00:21:35,079 --> 00:21:39,079 just went where the evidence took us. The Democrat Stafford 300 00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:44,720 told the FBI in December of twenty seventeen that he believed, quote, 301 00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:49,440 this was an explicit request to gather classified information for 302 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,200 public disclosure. Now, look, there is a perfectly reasonable explanation 303 00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:56,680 for why he would think that is because that's exactly 304 00:21:56,759 --> 00:22:00,359 what it was, right, That's what it was. And they 305 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:07,759 specifically targeted Mike Flynn. Another staffer was asked about the 306 00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:11,799 Flynn information request at one of these meetings, and they 307 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,000 quote opined, everything is directed at Trump and trying to 308 00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:20,599 get him impeached. Flynn just happened to be the issue 309 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:28,319 of the day end quote. They financially ruined him, professionally 310 00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:33,759 ruined Flynn, ruined him. But hey, you know what, we 311 00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:36,000 were trying to get Trump impeached, so it's all worth it, 312 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:41,359 so you can you can excuse really anything in order 313 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:46,359 to get rid of Hitler, right. The Democrat whistleblower also 314 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,279 told the FBI in December twenty seventeen that quote a 315 00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:54,880 particular leak from the summer had caused him to quote 316 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,160 confront the committee members on this issue. He said that 317 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,400 a particularly sensitive document was viewed by a small contingent 318 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,400 of staff, as well as Shift and Swallwell, and within 319 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,680 twenty four hours the information appeared in the news, almost verbatim. 320 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,640 The staffer told the FBI that it was suspected that 321 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,920 Swalwell played a role in the leak, and noted that 322 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,039 Swalwell previously had been warned to be careful because he 323 00:23:24,079 --> 00:23:29,640 had a reputation for leaking classified information. An FBI agent 324 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,640 had spoken with the same agent the same guy had 325 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,359 spoken with a Republican staffer, and that Republican staffer on 326 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:44,039 this committee talked about the sudden firing of a minority staffer. 327 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,480 Guess who that was. It was the whistleblower. You know, 328 00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:52,079 stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things, 329 00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:55,519 to understand experiences.

Visit creative video dot com. So according 347 00:24:53,079 --> 00:24:57,440 to just thenews dot com piece by John Solomon, an 348 00:24:57,599 --> 00:25:03,119 FBI agent went and spe with a Republican staffer on 349 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:08,240 the House Permanent Select Committee. The FBI agent ostensibly trying 350 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,079 to track down like whether or not this whistleblower from 351 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,240 the Democrat staff was correct and what he was saying 352 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:19,920 about leaking classified information to the media as a purposeful, 353 00:25:20,079 --> 00:25:25,519 intentional strategy to indict and impeach Donald Trump. Right by 354 00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:31,440 Schiff Swallwell, they directed the HIPSI Committee staffers to leak, 355 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,759 and so an FBI agent goes and he talks with 356 00:25:34,799 --> 00:25:40,960 a Republican staffer as part of this investigation, and the 357 00:25:41,079 --> 00:25:45,799 Republican staffer mentioned to the FBI agent, Yeah, there was 358 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,799 this Democrat intel officer who got fired very abruptly. He 359 00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:54,559 told the FBI agent that the Democrat staffer had told 360 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,759 him that he was quote suddenly fired due to a 361 00:25:57,799 --> 00:26:04,839 perceived lack of party life loyalty. That's the whistleblower. The 362 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,279 Republican staffer told the FBI agent that the Democrat staffer 363 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,799 had told him that there was allegedly quote a systematic 364 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:17,039 process through which leaks were effected, and that quote he 365 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,839 had been fired because there was an expectation of leaking 366 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:26,640 and he refused to participate. They fired the guy for 367 00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:31,119 not engaging in the illegal, unethical activity. That's how the 368 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:38,240 Democrats on the Intel Committee rolled right. The collusion hoax 369 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,359 was in fact a collusion, but it was collusion among 370 00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:45,319 the Democrats on the Select Committee along with the Intel 371 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:51,519 agency chiefs. The GOP staffer went on to say that 372 00:26:51,559 --> 00:26:55,680 the FBI or to the FBI that the Democrat staffer, 373 00:26:56,079 --> 00:26:59,319 the whistleblower, had said, quote, this was not a one 374 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,000 time thing, but rather, under the system established by Schiff 375 00:27:04,079 --> 00:27:08,559 and his staff, director, notes would be run up to 376 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,559 Schiff himself, after which a decision was made as to 377 00:27:13,839 --> 00:27:20,440 who would leak the information. This was not some rogue staffer, 378 00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:26,039 Schiff went on in twenty eighteen. August of twenty eighteen 379 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,839 would go on to baselessly claim, quote, I think there's 380 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:36,119 plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight. Again, 381 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,079 that's why I call it the Russian collusion hoax. They 382 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,920 use those words, the Democrats use those words. Shiff used 383 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,759 these words. Shiff claimed again in April of twenty nineteen, 384 00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:53,039 quote I've been very clear over the past year, year 385 00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:56,119 and a half that there is ample evidence of collusion 386 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,160 in plain sight. Robert Mueller Special cat report in March 387 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,160 of twenty nineteen, though did not establish any criminal collusion 388 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,480 between Trump and Russia. The DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz 389 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:16,319 vindicated Devin Nuness and showed Shiff was wrong, not just wrong, 390 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,960 but lying. John Durham's twenty twenty three report concluded, quote, 391 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,680 neither US law enforcement nor the Intel community appears to 392 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,119 have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings 393 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:37,880 at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Schiff has 394 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,039 mentioned three times, by the way, in that Durham report 395 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:49,279 and get this story. A university researcher who refused to 396 00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:56,559 investigate Trump Russia allegations was then threatened by a Schiff staffer. 397 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,000 Durham's report said, there were two researchers that we believed 398 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,519 to be from Georgia Tech, were on Capitol Hill in 399 00:29:03,559 --> 00:29:07,599 November twenty eighteen. They were meeting with the Hipsey staff 400 00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:13,240 regarding a pending cybersecurity federal research contract. During the meeting, 401 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:20,160 Hipsey staffers cut off the presentation to show researchers a 402 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,400 news article instead about Trump and Russia and Alpha Bank, 403 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:30,799 which was another hoax that they perpetrated. Schiff's staff told 404 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:34,079 the researcher they needed the university's help with the matter. 405 00:29:34,839 --> 00:29:38,839 The researcher said that that would be inappropriate for a 406 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,799 public university to do this. A staffer from the office 407 00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:49,039 of Senator Jack Reid, Democrat from Rhode Island, also allegedly said, quote, 408 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,680 we are now in charge, while a Hipsey staffer said 409 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,680 their boss schiff would soon take over leadership of Hipsey, 410 00:29:57,279 --> 00:30:00,640 and the researcher took those comments at as a quote 411 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:08,640 mild threat. Keep in mind the House of Representatives censured shift. 412 00:30:09,079 --> 00:30:13,839 Joe Biden pardoned him. All right, that'll do it for 413 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,640 this episode.
