And there was a really powerful interview 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,359 that I watched. It was on the Megan Kelly Show. 12 00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:47,000 She interviewed Aaron Matte who is an independent journalist and 13 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:49,960 does some work for Gray Zone. The Gray Zone with 14 00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:56,159 Mike Ben's and he has been he's of the left, 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:02,039 he's like a Bernie Sanders guy, but he he sniffed 16 00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:06,799 out something wrong on the whole Russia Gate thing years ago. 17 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,519 And despite the utter lack of coverage in the legacy 18 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,120 media outlets about the recent developments that we have learned 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,879 of because of the declassification of more documents from inside 20 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,000 the intelligence community, you know, the CIA director John Ratcliffe 21 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:32,159 d and I Tolci gabbered cash Betel that the FBI, 22 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,319 So you have this declassification occurring. Ratcliffe is the CIA director. 23 00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:41,799 So you got these documents that are now being reviewed, 24 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,159 stuff gets redacted that are you know, protected stuff. But 25 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:53,079 then they're releasing this information and every new declassified document 26 00:01:53,239 --> 00:01:58,599 dump that we're seeing is putting the final pieces together 27 00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:04,640 to illus straight the obvious hoax. This was a scam 28 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:10,800 that was run starting in the summer even really late 29 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:17,520 spring of twenty sixteen, in order to smear Donald Trump 30 00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:24,199 as a Russian proxy when he was not, and when 31 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:29,280 the people that were orchestrating the smear knew this was 32 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,039 not true. The stuff that they were promoting as high 33 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,120 confidence in the Intel speak high confidence was actually not 34 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,240 high confidence. It was low confidence. They were lying about it. 35 00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:45,599 Then they lied about the inclusion of the Steele dossier. 36 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,479 And when you piece this stuff together, it's clear it 37 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,360 goes all the way to the top with Obama's meeting 38 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,919 with his Intel chiefs and stuff and redoing the intelligence 39 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,319 community assessment in order to get the Steele dossier inserted 40 00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:05,919 into the president's daily briefing, which Trump would have had 41 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,199 access to because he had already won the election. But 42 00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:14,919 even before that, even before that, now we learn that 43 00:03:15,759 --> 00:03:22,439 Russia hacked the election. That was also a lie, and 44 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,360 they knew it, but they lied and said that Russia 45 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:33,120 helped to elect Donald Trump. The lie stems from the 46 00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:38,960 hack and leak operation that was run against the DNC 47 00:03:39,479 --> 00:03:46,080 and Hillary Clinton's campaign. The hack and leak operation. We 48 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,960 were told by the intelligence community that that was Russia, 49 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,120 and then they passed it off to WikiLeaks, DC leaks 50 00:03:55,159 --> 00:03:57,879 and what was the guy, Gucchieffer I think was his 51 00:03:58,759 --> 00:04:02,960 nom de plume, some hacker guy, and they said this 52 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,879 was the Russians. Turns out they didn't have any evidence 53 00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:15,719 of that, so they just lied about it. How did 54 00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:20,000 this happen and how did it stay buried for nine years? 55 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,759 Aaron mate reporting. Oh and by the way, today this 56 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:31,120 morning one of the annexes, so they call this, I 57 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,360 don't know why they use this term annex It's basically 58 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,079 like an appendage or it's like a source. It's like 59 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,040 a footnote source kind of thing where you've got some 60 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,399 intelligence assessment that's drawn up and then they'll link in 61 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,079 the back of the document the annexes or an annex 62 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,759 where it'll be some other report that they're referring to, 63 00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:56,680 and the Durham annex, John Durham, that was the second 64 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,079 investigation into all of this. Mueller was the first, right, 65 00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,399 Robert Mueller was the first, and then John Durham was 66 00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:09,879 the second. And the Durham annex, the Durham report annex 67 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:18,160 just dropped from Chuck Grassley's office, Senator Chuck Grassley, and 68 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:26,240 it ties to George Soros's Open Society Foundation. They and 69 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,519 they talk about that the FBI was going to help 70 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:36,319 them pour oil on the fire. They were working with 71 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,519 the Clinton campaign to spread this opposition hit piece, this 72 00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:43,920 smear job, the Steele dossier, but the entire narrative of that, 73 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,920 you know, Russia helped Trump win. And why why would 74 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,480 they do this to draw attention away from Hillary Clinton's 75 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:57,199 server scandal, the Homebrew server that she had set up 76 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,680 and was conducting business on that. James Comey came out 77 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,079 and said, all of these things she did wrong and 78 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,120 violations probably got hacked. Yes, yes, yes, but no reasonable 79 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,319 prosecutor would bring a case. They buried all evidence or 80 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,600 all analysis that was contrary to that narrative. And now 81 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,800 with these declassifications, now we know you had the declassification 82 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,240 of the Intelligence Assessments annex. That ICA annex that had 83 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,480 that was the Steele dossier, so that was used. They 84 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,959 claimed it wasn't. John Brennan testified under oath that that 85 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,319 was not used, and that was a lie. He perjured himself. 86 00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:40,519 The next one we had was the Hipsey Report. This 87 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:43,519 is the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence or House 88 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,800 Intelligence Committee. They put together a report in twenty twenty 89 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,240 and that was suppressed. They classified that thing and you know, 90 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,120 locked it away in a safe so nobody could ever 91 00:06:54,160 --> 00:07:00,199 get at it. And now there's the Durham Annex. It's 92 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:02,279 now been published. I have not had a chance to 93 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,040 read it. It's dozens of pages long. It just dropped 94 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,360 before the show began. But I do have it pulled up, 95 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,000 so I'll be reading some of it during the breaks. 96 00:07:12,079 --> 00:07:18,399 But actually, yeah, well i'll start right. I'll start here, because. 97 00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: Here we go. 98 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,959 Speaker 1: Two of the apparently hacked emails appear to have originated 99 00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:32,079 from the Open Society Foundations. The purported author of these 100 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,279 emails was Leonard Bernardo, who was the Regional director for 101 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:42,079 Eurasia at the Open Society Foundations. In that capacity, Bernardo 102 00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:46,240 oversaw efforts relating to Russia and the former Soviet republics 103 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,720 and other countries. Beginning in twenty sixteen, the FBI received 104 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:59,120 information from this confidential source relating to the US presidential election, 105 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:08,240 including reports written by redacted. These reports referenced purported communications 106 00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:11,879 of Bernardo and others, and in particular, the source provided 107 00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:16,560 the US government with two memos that described confidential conversations 108 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,639 between then Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and 109 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,360 two individuals at the Open Source Foundations, Bernardo and Jeffrey Goldstein. 110 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,959 In that memo, which was written in Russian because it 111 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,559 came from a Russian source, it says on January twelfth 112 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,720 of this year, during a confidential discussion with Jeffrey Goldstein 113 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,759 of the list the title there, Democrat National Committeechairwoman Debbie 114 00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:51,720 Wasserman Schultz characterized the situation in her party in light 115 00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:56,039 of the growing scandals surrounding Hillary Clinton as follows. Information 116 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,320 released to the media in the last few days about 117 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:03,159 FBI investigating possible relating to Department of State under Clinton 118 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,600 preferential treatment of donors of the Clinton Foundation caused a 119 00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:10,080 significant negative reaction inside the party. At the same time, 120 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,200 the leadership of the Democrat Party had known about the 121 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,679 information since June of twenty fifteen. According to Wasserman Schultz, 122 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,840 FBI so far does not have persuasive evidence against Hillary 123 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,679 Clinton because of the timely deletion of relevant data from 124 00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:29,559 mail servers. Obama has no intention to darken the final 125 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,279 part of his presidency and legacy by the scandal surrounding 126 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,360 the main contender from the Democrat Party. To solve the problem, 127 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,080 the President puts pressure on FBI Director James Colemy through 128 00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:44,799 Attorney General Lynch. However, so far, without concrete results, Comy 129 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,639 gravitates towards Republicans and apparently intends to prolong the investigation 130 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,639 so that the scandal would keep going until the presidential 131 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,480 election to jeopardize chances of the Democrat Party to win 132 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:04,279 the presidential race. Then, from a memo from Bernardo, Hillary 133 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:09,159 Clinton approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering 134 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,039 US elections that should distract people from her own missing email, 135 00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:16,360 especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level. This 136 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,000 point is making the Russian play a US domestic issue, 137 00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:24,320 say something like a critical infrastructure threat for the election 138 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,960 to feel menace. Since both Potus and Vice Potus have 139 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,399 acknowledged the fact that the intelligence community would speed up 140 00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:37,960 searching for evidence that is regrettably still unavailable. However, there 141 00:10:38,039 --> 00:10:42,679 seems to be signs GRU that's the Russian FBI basically penetration. 142 00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:49,120 They appear hardly, they appear hardly skilled, incompetent, bumbling idiots 143 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,519 as somebody called them. In absence of direct evidence, CrowdStrike 144 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,759 and threat Connect will supply the media and GRU will 145 00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:01,639 hopefully carry on to get more facts. What are they 146 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,000 outlining here? What is he out What is Bernardo from 147 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,440 Open Society Foundation? What is he outlining? How to plant 148 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,240 the stories in order to distract away from Hillary Clinton's scandals? 149 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,639 All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 150 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,720 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 151 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,799 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 152 00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:23,879 me say get your news from multiple sources.

Okay, you may want to 187 00:13:23,799 --> 00:13:27,480 deny the importance of this story, but let me boil 188 00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,919 it down for you. We now have the proof that 189 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:40,000 the intelligence agencies led a scam, they orchestrated and participated 190 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:45,879 in a deception of the American public to undermine the 191 00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:50,840 duly elected president of the United States. That should scare 192 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,759 the hell out of you. And the fact that no 193 00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:57,279 media outlet dug anywhere into this story to try to 194 00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:00,840 get the proof that now we have that should scare 195 00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:03,159 the hell out of you too. This isn't about Trump. 196 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,519 This is about the intelligence agencies manufacturing a story. And 197 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,759 if they could do it to Trump, they can do 198 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,000 it to anybody. And if you don't have a media 199 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,039 that investigates this stuff and looks at the claims and says, 200 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:24,399 where's the evidence for this. We are in dangerous territory. 201 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,879 I would say this if it were a Democrat that 202 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,720 this was done to as well. That's the importance of 203 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:33,799 the story. And you may want to bury your head 204 00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:36,240 in the sand because Obama's fingerprints are on this, and 205 00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,519 God forbid that the Savior have this, his fingerprints on 206 00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:41,960 any kind of a scandal besides wearing a tan suit 207 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:48,799 like this is a big deal. According to newly declassified documents, 208 00:14:49,879 --> 00:14:54,919 US intelligence leaders concealed high level doubts about one of 209 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,440 Russia gates, foundational allegations that Russia stole and ea Democratic 210 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:07,519 Party material to help Trump defeat Hillary Clinton. Okay, that's 211 00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:14,720 the key here. They buried it from everybody except those 212 00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:20,399 that were orchestrating the smear. Half of the Democrats in 213 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:25,080 America still believe that Russia got Trump elected, and it 214 00:15:25,159 --> 00:15:32,159 was never true. Never, it wasn't true. And in fact, 215 00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:39,679 the intelligence community, the FBI specifically knew that the Clinton 216 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,799 campaign was going to do it before they did it, 217 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,919 or before they got to the crossfire hurricane. Rather, they 218 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:51,080 knew that the Hillary Clinton campaign was running this opposition 219 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,519 smear against Trump in order to distract away from her scandals. 220 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:02,720 Even with that knowledge, they still opened Crossfire Hurricane and 221 00:16:02,879 --> 00:16:07,480 relied on two things, the Steel dossier, which has been 222 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,159 completely debunked, and the DNC hack. And that was always 223 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,320 the hack, was that one has always sort of been 224 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,120 propped up as you know, that's the proof that Russia 225 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,840 was meddling. And now it turns out that neither the 226 00:16:21,879 --> 00:16:27,519 FBI nor the NSA had confidence in that assessment. Why 227 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,519 because the DNC hired crowd Strike to figure out, you know, 228 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,960 what got compromised and who made the intrusions and all 229 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,399 of that, and they refused to let the FBI investigate 230 00:16:39,879 --> 00:16:43,559 the servers. They just said, here's crowdstrikes report, and we 231 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,600 blame the Russians, and rather than ask for evidence to 232 00:16:46,679 --> 00:16:49,720 support that, the FBI just agreed to it. Why would 233 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,279 they have done that. That's what we have now have 234 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,559 the proof of. So bury your head in the sand. 235 00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:00,759 I'm not going to here's a great idea. How about 236 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:04,039 making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway 237 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:06,480 in western North Carolina.

Aaron Mate on The 258 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,559 Megan Kelly Show lays out the new information declassified by 259 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,279 Tulci Gabbard. 260 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: The core allegation at the heart of Russia Gay even 261 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960 before collusion became a public thing. It was a Russia 262 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,960 hack the DNC and gave the emails to wiki Leaks 263 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:33,160 that basically broke out in June twenty sixteen, followed by 264 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,440 the release of the Wiki leagues emails in July twenty sixteen, 265 00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:39,160 and at that point, the Clinton campaign, through its contractor CrowdStrike, 266 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,200 was the first entity to say that the Russians did it, 267 00:18:42,559 --> 00:18:44,119 and a lot of people in the media just ran 268 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,079 with it because that's what they were saying. And for 269 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,400 some reason, if you accuse a foreign actor of something, 270 00:18:50,319 --> 00:18:52,039 then we just have to take it on faith. That's 271 00:18:52,039 --> 00:18:54,759 sort of an established playbook going back to the Iraqi 272 00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:58,200 War and many other similar propaganda campaigns. And then the 273 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,079 Intelligence community assessment that you talked about that was leased 274 00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:04,000 in January that formerly endorsed that said with high confidence 275 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,680 Russia hacked the DNC gave the emails to wiki leaks, 276 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,119 and along with collusion, that Russian email hacking allegation was 277 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,599 the core plank of Russia Gate. Now we all know 278 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,759 by another collusion was a complete scam laundered through the 279 00:19:16,799 --> 00:19:21,359 Clan campaign through Christopher. Still nobody even in corporate media 280 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,160 that was all about it, even defends that anymore. Eve 281 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,519 Adam Schiff, I think, has stopped defending the collusion allegation, 282 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,400 even though he was claiming for yours he had seen 283 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,799 secret evidence of it. But as you said, they have 284 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,319 clung to the Russian email hacking allegation. And what we 285 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,240 get now from Tulsea Gabbard's declassification is that in September 286 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,200 of twenty sixteen, less than two months before the election, 287 00:19:41,799 --> 00:19:44,599 the FBI and the NSA, which are the two premier 288 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,000 intelligence agencies that would be able to investigate this hacking 289 00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:51,359 leak allegation, the FBI taking the lead in investigating the 290 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,480 hacking of the DNC, and the NSA is we all know, 291 00:19:54,599 --> 00:19:57,000 like the premier surveillance agency in the world. They can 292 00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:02,039 see anything that comes in and out over cyber warfare. 293 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 2: So they'd be in the best position to assess whether or. 294 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 3: Not Russia hacked the DNC and gave the emails to 295 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,240 Wikilix and what they said. And we're only learning this 296 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,240 now nearly nine years later, is that they had low 297 00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:16,880 confidence in the Russia hack and leak allegation that was suppressed. 298 00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:20,319 Instead of the public hearing about that, the Obama administration 299 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,720 put out a report through Clapper, who was then heading 300 00:20:23,759 --> 00:20:27,359 the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and Jay Johnson, 301 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,279 who was heading Department of Hollland Security, on October seventh, 302 00:20:30,559 --> 00:20:32,640 and they said, in the name of the intelligence community, 303 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,400 they have high confidence that Russia was behind the hacking 304 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,160 of the DNC, suppressing what the FBI in the NSA 305 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,319 had said, and that remains the same. After the election, 306 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,400 there was another assessment circulated that we learned about through 307 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,720 Tulsa Gabbard that said the picture of the attribution of 308 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,160 doubting the attribution to Russia had not changed at all. 309 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,240 And the reason was is the FBI and the NSA 310 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:54,920 said we didn't have the technical evidence for it. And 311 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,119 that was the point that people like myself had been making, 312 00:20:57,279 --> 00:21:00,240 is like, yes, intelligence officials worth telling us Russia did it, 313 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,400 but where's the evidence. We were never told it, And 314 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,279 now we know the reason why is because they had none. 315 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,599 So that gets suppressed. And as you said, then Obama 316 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,119 orders the production of a new intelligence community assessment that 317 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,680 gets released in January twenty seventeen, and the low confidence 318 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,640 assessment of the FBI in the NSA gets buried, and 319 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,119 someone might argue, Okay, we'll find what if the US 320 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,640 got new intelligence after the FBI and the NSA first 321 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,559 made that low confidence assessment. Well, now we know from 322 00:21:25,559 --> 00:21:28,240 the declassified Hipsie report that you mentioned that just came out, 323 00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:31,440 that basically House intelligence report from twenty twenty that was 324 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,160 in the vault. 325 00:21:32,039 --> 00:21:33,839 Speaker 2: Keep going exactly now. 326 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,079 Speaker 3: We learned from them that basically no new intelligence was 327 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,039 collected after the election, That most of the intelligence that 328 00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:43,480 went into the ICA was collected before the election, which 329 00:21:43,519 --> 00:21:46,039 means at the time that the FBI in the NSA 330 00:21:46,039 --> 00:21:49,000 made their low confidence assessment that Russia hacked at DNC, 331 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,759 no new evidence was collected after that to change their 332 00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:53,920 minds and think about it. 333 00:21:54,079 --> 00:21:54,759 Speaker 2: This makes sense. 334 00:21:54,799 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 3: At the same time, as the Clinton campaign was framing 335 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,599 Trump as a Russian asset, they were also hiring a firm, CrowdStrike, 336 00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:03,920 which first accus Russia. 337 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 2: Of hacking the DNC. 338 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 3: And when the FBI went to CrowdStrike and said can 339 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,359 we investigate the DNC servers for ourselves, CrowdStrike said no. 340 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:14,160 And for some reason the FBI agreed to that. This 341 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,599 would be as if you know, I accused someone of 342 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,279 robbing my house, and then when the police came, I said, yeah, 343 00:22:20,319 --> 00:22:22,880 I think that person did it. But you can't investigate yourself. 344 00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:25,000 You have to rely on my own internal investigation. 345 00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: So something to keep in mind here. The FBI and 346 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:33,519 the NSA said low confidence that this was true, that 347 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:41,880 Russia was involved in this, and they when the administration 348 00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:44,920 came out in October, as he said there, they this 349 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:52,880 changed then to a high confidence rating, and they claimed 350 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,960 to speak for the entire intelligence community. However, it was 351 00:22:58,279 --> 00:23:04,000 only well, I should say, it excluded various other intel agencies, 352 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,680 including the Pentagon and the State Department's Intel Service, which 353 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,119 would be right there at the nexus of some sort 354 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,880 of a Russian hacking scheme, right, he said, the intelligence 355 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,279 community knew that Clinton was trying to frame Trump in 356 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,920 the summer of twenty sixteen. 357 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,640 Speaker 3: Well, we do know that John Brennan briefed Obama right 358 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,079 before the Trump Russian investigation was open on July thirty first, 359 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:33,319 that he had picked up intelligence that Russia was aware 360 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,839 of a plot in which Hillary was going to frame 361 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,920 Trump as a Russian asset. And tie that to alleged 362 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,079 Russian interference. And Brennan got that and briefed it to Obama. 363 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,599 And now we learn actually what Brennan was concerned about 364 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,759 was not the Hillary was framing Trump as a Russian asset, 365 00:23:49,039 --> 00:23:51,359 but that Russia was aware of it. That's what allies 366 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,319 of Brennan have said. And that's why even when Brennan 367 00:23:54,559 --> 00:23:56,799 sent a referral to the FBI and making sure that 368 00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:59,839 they're aware of this in early September, James Comy later 369 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:00,839 that he couldn't remember it. 370 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: It didn't ring any bells. That was his testimony to Congress. 371 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 3: You're not aware that the CIA told you that a 372 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,279 major presidential candidate was framing her rival as a Russian asset, 373 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,519 which you happened to be investigating on. And look, just 374 00:24:14,559 --> 00:24:17,319 based on what we know already, the FBI claims that 375 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,519 Steele Dosia had nothing to do with decision to open 376 00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:20,680 up Crossfire Hurricane. 377 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: But yet we'll which is the investigation by the FBI, 378 00:24:23,319 --> 00:24:25,599 and did Donald Trump and whether he colluded with Russia 379 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,119 to win? Correct? 380 00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 3: But we also know that weeks before the FBI opened 381 00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:33,519 up its investigation, Victoria Neuland, who was then a senior 382 00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:38,680 State Department official and a very hawkish bureaucrat when it 383 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,599 comes to Russia, and was really alarmed by Trump's rhetoric 384 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,799 on the campaign trail where he was criticizing foreign interventions 385 00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:47,440 and even talking about getting along with Russia, even saying 386 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,559 we don't want to have World War three over Ukraine. 387 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,920 Victoria Neuland approves the deployment of an FBI agent to 388 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,079 go to Rome and meet with Christopher Steele. 389 00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 2: And receive as dossier. 390 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,279 Speaker 3: And THISBA agent received the dus this is early July 391 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,000 twenty sixteen, and gives it to his colleagues. And then 392 00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:06,759 three weeks later, the FBI opens up the Trump Russian investigation, 393 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,200 immediately uses Steele's dossier as source material, including for surveillance 394 00:25:11,279 --> 00:25:14,000 warrants on carter page. And they want us to believe 395 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,799 that this had nothing to do that the FBI receiving 396 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,519 the steel Dosia weeks earlier, had nothing to do with 397 00:25:19,599 --> 00:25:21,920 opening up Crossfire Hurricane, And they want us to love 398 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,880 the official pretext is a ridiculous official predicate of George Popadopolis, 399 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,839 a low level Trump campaign volunteer, receiving quote a suggestion 400 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,000 of a suggestion of someone specified Russian help, it doesn't 401 00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:38,160 make any sense. So if this Fox News is if 402 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,480 this Fox News report is correct that there's new evidence 403 00:25:40,519 --> 00:25:43,359 that the FBI was in on this, it just attracts 404 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:44,559 exactly with what we already know. 405 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,759 Speaker 1: So the DNC hack and leak was low confidence that 406 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:52,599 it was done by Russia. According to the FBI and NSA. 407 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,920 They also said there was no technical evidence to support 408 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:02,519 this allegation that Russia did this, and that Russia did 409 00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:06,680 it to help Trump. There's no evidence of that. And 410 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,599 then they suppressed that they buried that. And that's the 411 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,880 new information is that they knew from the very beginning 412 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,160 that there wasn't any evidence. The FBI in the NSA 413 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,559 said this isn't we have low confidence that any of 414 00:26:21,599 --> 00:26:24,960 this is true, but it got changed and there wasn't 415 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,240 any new evidence to change it.

We're going over these latest bombshells in the 435 00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:40,680 Russia collusion hoax perpetrated by what is now clear perpetrated 436 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,000 by the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration and leaders 437 00:27:44,039 --> 00:27:48,960 in the intelligence community in order to smear Trump as 438 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,519 a proxy of Putin. That Putin and Russia hacked the 439 00:27:52,599 --> 00:27:58,559 election in order to help Trump win. And now we 440 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,680 have the declassified docum Humanen's showingness tracing it back the 441 00:28:03,759 --> 00:28:09,400 DNC was hacked their emails were published on d c leaks. 442 00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:16,279 The website and the Intelligence Community Assessment accused Russian President 443 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,160 Vladimir Putin of ordering an influenced campaign to denigrate Democratic 444 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,079 candidate Clinton and to help Trump win the twenty sixteen election. 445 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,680 Some of this effort involved propaganda on Russian media outlets 446 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,880 and messaging on social media. The larger component hinged on 447 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,359 the allegation that the GRU, Russia's main intelligence agency, stole 448 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,279 emails and documents from the Democrat Party and released that 449 00:28:39,359 --> 00:28:45,519 material to two online entities, d C Leaks and Gutcheffer 450 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:49,400 two point zero, as well as the whistleblower organization WikiLeaks. 451 00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:52,799 Julian Assange, by the way, the founder of WikiLeaks, has 452 00:28:52,839 --> 00:28:55,359 long denied that Russia or any other state actor was 453 00:28:55,400 --> 00:29:00,599 his source. Nevertheless, in twenty seventeen January twenty seven, the 454 00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:04,880 ICA stated that the US had high confidence that Russia 455 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:12,160 engineered the hack, and this was apparently based on CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike, 456 00:29:14,079 --> 00:29:16,880 the owner or the president of which used to work 457 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,799 with these intel leaders, claimed that they did a review 458 00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:25,960 and they figured out it went back to Russia. But no, 459 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,880 we're not going to give you any evidence of that. 460 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 3: What the public also wasn't told until a year after 461 00:29:31,079 --> 00:29:33,799 Muller shut down was that CrowdStrike In December twenty seventeen, 462 00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:36,599 their president Sean Henry, who by the way, used to 463 00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:38,720 work with James Comy and Robert Muller at the FBI, 464 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,359 he testified before Congress in December twenty seventeen that CrowdStrike, 465 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,599 which had first accused Russia of hacking the DNC, actually 466 00:29:46,599 --> 00:29:49,680 had no evidence. That's a quote, no evidence that these 467 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,799 alleged Russian hackers actually took anything from the DNC. And 468 00:29:54,039 --> 00:29:56,599 that's a pretty big admission. You're accusing Russia of hacking 469 00:29:56,599 --> 00:29:59,160 and leaking these emails, but you have no evidence that 470 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,079 they actually anything from your servers, So how can you 471 00:30:02,119 --> 00:30:05,160 possibly make this allegation. Well, the public wasn't allowed to 472 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,480 ask this question because that was buried for almost three 473 00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:10,480 years and only got released a year after the Muller 474 00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:14,279 probe shutdown. So that's just another example of countervailing evidence 475 00:30:14,319 --> 00:30:17,039 that comes out years after the fact that undermines this 476 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,480 explosive allegation that at the time, if you recall this, 477 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,960 it seems so silly now, like hacking leaking emails, it's 478 00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:24,680 you know, people were comparing this to Pearl. 479 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,559 Speaker 2: Harbor in nine to eleven. 480 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, which was absurd. But I remember this frenzy like 481 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:34,039 it was. It was constant. It was on every single 482 00:30:34,559 --> 00:30:38,359 news station, it was in every paper, on all the websites. 483 00:30:40,079 --> 00:30:44,559 Russia hacked the election. Trump is putin stooge, and the 484 00:30:44,559 --> 00:30:48,000 intelligence community says hi confidence, high confidence, but there was 485 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,599 never any evidence for it. In fact, it was low confidence. 486 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:58,559 They did not they said they had no technical evidence. Everything. Well, 487 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,680 the only thing I'll say that was documented to be 488 00:31:01,799 --> 00:31:04,279 true of what Russia did was that they had some 489 00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:08,920 troll farms out there that did some memes like that's 490 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,720 that's what they were doing to try to sow chaos. 491 00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 3: There were academic studies trying to argue that Russian trolls 492 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,920 swung the election. It's an insult to everybody's intelligence, and 493 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,599 it was a way to cover up for the Democratic 494 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,799 Party's own failures in that elections and their refusal to 495 00:31:25,559 --> 00:31:28,200 come to grips with that. So blaming Russia was a 496 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,599 convenient foil. But the hysteria around this was just it 497 00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:33,400 was unbelievable. So I don't know if you remember this, 498 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,920 but when Trump gave his joint press conference with Putin 499 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,440 in July twenty eighteen, and you know, Trump next to 500 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,640 Putin said that Putin had denied interfering, and Trump said, 501 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,160 you know, I have no reason to doubt him. 502 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,279 Speaker 2: That the freak out was unbelievable. 503 00:31:46,279 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 3: Like the way this was described, this was like the 504 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,440 worst thing a president has ever done. John Brennan described 505 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,720 Trump as quote nothing short of treasoness. When John Brennan 506 00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:58,720 must have known that the FBI in the NSA actually 507 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,480 shared Trump's inclusions, certainly they had the low confidence assessment 508 00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:04,599 that had been buried. And by the way, we also 509 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,119 learned now from the House Intelligence Support that they were 510 00:32:08,119 --> 00:32:10,559 aware of Putin's view on the election, and people close 511 00:32:10,599 --> 00:32:12,880 to Putin were saying that Putin didn't care because no 512 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,680 matter who won, in Putin's view, it wouldn't really matter. 513 00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:17,799 Speaker 2: Policy towards Russia wouldn't change. 514 00:32:17,799 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 3: And of course that's one of many pieces of critical 515 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,559 information that got suppressed in order to put out this 516 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,039 narrative that Russia was back in Trump. 517 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: It was all lies. Now, there was this conflation also, 518 00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:36,440 a conflation of hacking voting machines, which did not happen. 519 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,880 Russia did not hack the voting machines they may have tried, 520 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,000 but they did not. And hacking the DNC, He says. 521 00:32:43,079 --> 00:32:46,759 Speaker 3: We learned from Tulsi's declassification something really important, which is 522 00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:49,599 that the intelligence on the email hacking, forget the vote 523 00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:52,960 hacking that was suppressed, and the two premier US intelligence 524 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,680 agencies who would be best placed to assess who hacked. 525 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 2: The DNC and gave the emails to wiki leaks. 526 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,839 Speaker 3: They had low confidence in the allegation that it was Russia. 527 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,599 That's the bottom line here. So even if there was 528 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,680 a conflation made between vote machine hacking and DNC server hacking, 529 00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:11,000 it doesn't matter because the intelligence on the email hacking 530 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,720 said that we don't have any evidence that Russia did it, 531 00:33:13,759 --> 00:33:15,960 and that was kept from the public. That's a major 532 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,039 scandal because for years we were told this was the intelligence, 533 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,039 this was the intelligence consensus. If you question this, you're 534 00:33:22,039 --> 00:33:25,359 a Russian propagandist. Your treasiness, as John Brennan said of 535 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,000 Donald Trump when he questioned this, and that is the 536 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,119 scandal here, the suppression of intelligence to manufacture a lie. 537 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: To manufacture a lie. There's one more clip on this from. 538 00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 2: It, and even on the issue of voting machines. Yes, 539 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:38,160 it's true. 540 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,839 Speaker 3: You know, the bottoministration never said that Russia hacked voting machines. 541 00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:43,279 But if you look at the media clips, like what 542 00:33:43,319 --> 00:33:46,759 was the common talking point from Hillary Clinton on down. 543 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,839 Speaker 2: Russia hacked the election. 544 00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,599 Speaker 3: Russia hacked the election, and it did create an impression 545 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,559 among many people, especially Democratic voters if you look at polls, 546 00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:54,680 that Russia. 547 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,480 Speaker 2: Had changed the votes. 548 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,559 Speaker 3: And that's what happens when you have these propaganda campaigns 549 00:33:58,599 --> 00:34:00,640 that you're not allowed to question, and if you do, 550 00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:04,160 your called names, your marginalized, your kicked out of media spaces. 551 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 2: They just create consensus. 552 00:34:06,119 --> 00:34:09,119 Speaker 3: Like no one issued an edict saying you all have 553 00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:12,760 to believe that Russia hacked a DNC. But just this, this, 554 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,880 this sort of group mania allowed for this to be pervasive. 555 00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,760 And even now when evidence comes out showing that the 556 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,960 intelligence wasn't there to support it. Has any mainstream outlet 557 00:34:24,039 --> 00:34:26,000 reported on this? Have they reported at the NSA and 558 00:34:26,039 --> 00:34:29,480 the FBI had low confidence in the Russia hacking League allegation. 559 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 2: Has anyone ever. 560 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: Ye, It's not on any of their websites. This is 561 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,800 a massive scandal that now we have the proof of 562 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,320 how this thing began and who was involved, and nobody 563 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:53,000 cares why because at best y'all got scammed. At best, 564 00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:57,079 at worst you were part of it in the media. 565 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:04,280 And they cannot admit this now, right, this requires some 566 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,199 level of accountability. And we've already heard that they are pursuing. 567 00:35:08,519 --> 00:35:12,679 The doj is looking at charges to file against people. 568 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,199 You could do conspiracy charges, perjury charges, that sort of thing. 569 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,320 And remember there were people that were arrested, raided Roger 570 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:26,440 Stone right for perjury. People were put in jail regarding 571 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:32,000 this stuff. And as he called it, the mania was 572 00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:37,400 also weaponized against Americans here. Many times, I've been accused 573 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:43,280 of being some Putin puppet because I'm not a Trump hater. 574 00:35:43,559 --> 00:35:45,400 I don't even like I didn't even vote for Trumpet. 575 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,280 Of course, to the left, it doesn't matter. It was like, 576 00:35:47,559 --> 00:35:50,800 you know, you're a Trumpist in all this, and I 577 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,360 was accused of being some puppet for Putin too, and 578 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,159 that was all a lie.
