much for your support. Charles Grassley, US Senator from Iowa
I mentioned went over in the last hour the first
letter memo release that he put out news release with
an FBI analysis from twenty nineteen regarding Nelly Or and
how the DOJ did not prosecute her even though the
FBI had run an analysis that showed she had lied
to Congress about her involvement in the creation of the
Russia collusion in hoax and the coordination and research for
the Steele dossier and the FSM memo. So that's last hour.
That was the first thing that came out after he
requested and got that FBI analysis to be declassified. Cash
Betel and Pambondi declassified it, and that was the first
thing that they focused on on May twenty eighth, June fifth, yesterday,
here's another letter that Grassley has now sent to Pambondy
and cash Battel. He says, on March twenty eighth, I
made public an internal FBI analysis that I obtained the
illegally protected whistleblower disclosures. That's what prompted all of this. Right,
somebody inside the FBI that had access to the sentinel
prohibited access files gave him that FBI analysis. Chuck Rassley
has made a career protecting whistleblowers, getting whistleblower protections into law,
and he is a guy you can obviously trust. If
you're inside the government and you want to get something
out that is, you know, corrupt or illegal or something,
Chuck Rassley is your guy. So they hand off the
FBI analysis from twenty nineteen. They give it to Grassley's office.
He then gets the analysis declassified. He then releases it.
It shows Nelly or lied to Congress. FBI had investigated it,
knew it. But the second part of it, he says,
was that some Special Council Robert Muller records were hidden
in prohibited access status. The FBI analysis further noted that
unlike restricted access status, when search terms that exist in
the prohibited access status cases are searched in the sentinel database,
the particular search will receive a false negative search response.
In other words, it'll say there are no files, there
are no matches for your query. As I'm sure you're aware.
He says, the impact of parking records in a way
that impedes or in some cases prevents responsive records from
being produced to Congress pursuing to a valid request and
during the court course of court litigation, whether criminal or civil,
is wide ranging and potentially catastrophic to constitutional requirements. Indeed,
if the FBI has failed to take steps in the
past to access records in restricted or prohibited status, the
FBI has not fully responded to many years of my
oversight requests, Grassley seems mad. He goes on to say,
here's a new name, maybe not to you, but to me.
It was on April twenty ninth, twenty twenty five, I
sent a letter highlighting the political weaponization by the FBI
against Peter Navarro. In that letter, who is now Trump's
trade guy? Right, isn't that Peter Navarro? I think he's
in the administration. Now, in that letter, I made public
FBI emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Navarro.
These communications provide a behind the scenes snapshot of some
of the actions taken by the FBI's Washington Field office
to investigate Navarro for contempt of Congress as well as obstruction.
The emails show that Special Agent Walter Giardina or Jardina
played a signify eificant role in the investigation and ultimate
prosecution of Navarro. My office has also been informed that
Special Agent Jardina was involved in Arctic frost Crossfire Hurricane
Special Counsel Mueller's investigation, which he received an award for
the latter, as well as the Dan Scavino, Roger Stone,
and Hillary Clinton cases. I have said this for now
what eight years. It's like one of these cop shows,
these cop dramas or something, or like the you know,
Special Victims Unit or Blacklist or something, where you have
like an FBI agency or a team. Right, it's like
this specialized unit or something and they handle all the cases.
You always see them in some headquarters and there's like,
you know, dozens of people in the background sitting at
desks doing stuff, looking at monitors and all this stuff.
But whenever it comes to doing the actual investigating, it's
always like three people. They're always at the front of
Like when they're kicking down the door and they got
a whole team a swat all, you know, kitted up
behind him wearing all their gear. Meanwhile the main characters
are busting through the door with like a you know,
a skin tight T shirt and just a bulletproof vest, right,
Meanwhile everybody else around them has all this tactical equipment.
And then of course they always get separated from the
swat teams, you know, and so then they're out there alone,
and they alone come across the bad guy and they
either let him get away or he gets away, or
they capture him or kill him or whatever. But it's
always the same people. That's the way it is with
all of these high profile investigations out of the Washington
Field office, it's there's like five people. Why is that?
Do we not have anybody else qualified to handle all
of this all of these cases? Like how does Peter
Struck get on every single case?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Well, here's another guy, Walter Jardina, allegedly involved in the following.
He was an initial recipient of the Steele dossier. What
are the odds he got it? Like, among the first
people to get the Steele dossier, it was him. Oh,
and then he falsely said that the dossier was corroborated
as true, which it was not, which it could not
be because it was not true. Jardina then stated openly
his animosity towards President Trump and made known his personal
motivation to investigate Trump. But wait a minute, I thought
these were all professionals. They didn't let any of their
personal biases cloud their judgment or direct their investigation. Remember
Peter Struck said that Lisa Page too, you know, despite
the fact that we do have the text message chain
going back and forth between the lovers, you know, as
they were having their affair that you know, Page is like,
oh my gosh, I can't believe Trump's not going to win,
is he? And Peter Struck says, no, we'll stop him.
And when asked what does that mean? By I believe
it was Trey Goudy in a congressional hearing under oath,
he said, what does that mean? We'll stop him? And
Struck said, I was talking about the voters. Yeah, that's
what you were talking about. You lying liar. Jardina also
electronically wiped the laptop like with a cloth he was assigned.
He wiped it while working for Special Counsel Mueller outside
of established protocol for record preservation, raising the possibility that
he destroyed government records. The destruction of the laptop was
reported to the DOJ Office of Inspector General. That's what
you do, of course, after a very high profile, very
public investigation into you know, political leaders, of course you
wipe the laptop. I mean, of course you do outside
of the protocol. Sure. Jardina also instructed agents to use
false emolument clause predication on President Trump in order to
quote dig around the emoluments about you know, getting you know,
financial gifts and stuff like that. Let's use that as
a predicate so we can investigate more, you know, kind
of like a wiretap on Carter page. So we can
investigate more. And if we have to lie to get
the predicate, so be it. Jardina was a case agent
assigned to the Crimson River case, later changed to red Massari.
This case was lated by whom it is not known
to the Washington Post in August of twenty twenty four,
roughly ninety days before the presidential election, in an attempt
to falsely discredit President Trump. This guy's a very bad actor.
It appears that not only did Special Counsel Muller's team
park federal records in the prohibited access status, making them unreviewable,
his team also destroyed federal records. Oh. One of Muller's team,
Andrew Weissman, appears to have deleted all the data on
his government phone more than once, like with a cloth.
All right, if you're listening to this show, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,
and I know you do too, And you've probably heard
me say get your news from multiple sources. Why well,
because it's how you detect media bias, which is why
I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app
and it's a website and it combines news from around
the world in one place so you can compare coverage

from Chuck Grassley's letter to Pam Bondi and Cash Battel.
Bondi obviously the Attorney General. Cash Betel the director of
the FBI, and this is a letter that he sent yesterday,
and he's raising the issue of the prohibited access designation
inside of the FAI database called Sentinel, their case management system.
So you know, you open up a case on somebody,
people put stuff into that case, You have a case number, whatever,
anything that you're investigating you throw into this case. And
there are different levels. You've got unrestricted, restricted, and prohibited access.
And as I mentioned last hour, there are US attorneys
that don't even know that the prohibited access category existed
because when FBI agents do a search in that database
for a case against say Hunter Biden, if that case
is designated as prohibited access, your search results will come
back with no results. That obviously poses a lot of
problems for discovery in criminal and civil matters when you're
required the government's required to turn over exculpatory or impeachment
evidence to the opposing party. But also it impedes investigations
by Congress, It impedes Freedom of Information Act requests, and
it also impedes investigations by the FBI itself. If we
are two different agents working on the same case, you
don't know what is in the case file. If I
have labeled mine prohibited access, who exactly gets to do that.
We don't know how many cases are in there. We
don't know some of this stuff is in the Mueller
report or investigation. Some of the stuff from the Mueller
investigation got labeled with this prohibited access in the letter,
Grassley says. One Muller team member, Andrew Weisman, appears to
have deleted all the data on his government phone more
than once. March eighth, twenty eighteen, records showed that weissman
entered his password too many times oops, and wiped his phone.
I'd just forgotten my password I just have so many
of them. I entered it ten times wrong. Sorry, September
twenty seventh, got six months later. Another report says Weisman
accidentally wiped cell phone data lost another accident. Oops, it
can happen to Weisman twice?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Who hasn't wiped their phone of all data twice and
six months accidentally?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: On two occasions, officials admitted to deleting data, and multiple
individuals stated that the phone automatically wiped the data after
they used the wrong password too many times. Based on
information provided to Grassley's office as well as Senator Ron
Johnson's office, in June of twenty nineteen, which was shortly
after the Special Council's Office closure, the department's Justice Management
Division took POSI ession of seventy nine phones that the
Special Council's Office was using. Seventy nine slight problem. The
office had ninety six total, so they didn't even get
all the phones of those. It appears seventy four phones
were reviewed for official records, and these records, including notes
and text messages, were sent to the DOJ or FBI
systems for preservation, which means not all of the phones
that were used by the people in the Mueller investigation
had all their records retained and preserved. The number of
times and the stated reasons for the deletions calls into
question whether it was a widespread, intentional effort. No, the
Mueller team's use of prohibited access status to park federal
records raises questions about whether a full analysis of their work,
as well as of the underlying records, has been done.
He has now set a June twentieth deadline for the
FBI and DJ to produce answers to a list of
twelve questions that he outlines for them. He wants everything.
I want it all Special Counsel Mueller's records. Are they
still in prohibited access status? He wants info on Jordina,
on Weisman, Did anybody else of the Special Counsel Muller's
team have access? Could they label stuff prohibited access? Produce
all Biden family records in prohibited access status, Provide all
records to records to include all emails, text messages from
classified and unclassified systems related to Jordina's involvement in the
previously mentioned cases. It goes on, and He's got a
whole list here. Margo Cleveland at the Federalist. In another
piece from June second, she says people familiar with the
investigation into the Russian collusion hoax told the Federalists that
senior officials did not know that the FBI case management
database called Sentinel allowed agents to conceal the existence of evidence,
nor did anyone from Special Counsel Robert Muller's office ever
mentioned that documents related to their investigation into the Trump
campaign had been rendered invisible by use of the prohibited
access coding, even though they knew the Department of Justice
was investigating the origins and the handling of the Crossfire
Hurricane investigation. So the Durham report, right, you had Mueller first,
the Muller report first, and then you had Horowitz, the
Inspector General, and then you had the John Durham investigation.
The Durham team know about the prohibited access stuff? Did
they see that stuff? It does not appear so that
senior officials overseeing the investigation into the origins and handling
of Crossfire Hurricane did not know, and that Muller's Special
Council office used the prohibited access function to render invisible
materials connected to the investigation into Trump Cleveland says this
is scandalous. Now in question is the entirety of Special
Counsel John Durham's investigation into the Russia collusion hoaxers, as
well as Inspector General Michael Horowitz's investigation into FAISA abuse
related to Carter Page. Even after all this time, we
still don't have the full accounting because the original perpetrators
have buried the documentation and the evidence so deep. Hopefully
it comes out. Here's a great idea. How about making
an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in
western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain

and talk with Jamie. Welcome to the show, Jamie.
Speaker 2: How are you hey? Pete Callery, I mean he got
a great ship.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: And I going to tell you first and foremost, thank
our grandfathers for battling at the day. Yeah, I mean
we went up that hill and you know, I had
two grandfathers at midway, but incredible generation in my opinion,
Yeah I did.
Speaker 1: I was lucky enough to do an interview with Andy
Andrews up in Ashville. At the time, I want to
say he was like eighty nine or ninety years old.
He has since passed away, but my gosh, what he
described was just unimaginable.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, first of all, I couldn't imagine it.
I mean I couldn't imagine approaching that beach. I mean,
we've all seen like abandon brothers and we've seen you know,
all that, But what our grandfathers did for us is
incredible in my opinion.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so on days like this, I always try
to reset our you know, am I doing something that
is worthy of their sacrifice?
Speaker 2: Well? I think you do a hell of a job.
So thank you, sir, Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Thanks for the call. Jamie. No, I'm
kidding ahead, what would you what's your comment now?
Speaker 2: But here's my point. My dad is eighty three. He
was a Korean veteran, and our deal is is like
we we had a conversation like this morning. It is
like we've been watching Fox. We've been watching all this stuff.
And the thing is, honestly, I listened to your whole
program morning or you know, whatever what time it is.
But my point is you really think that we are
ever going to be able to prosecute these people that
did wrong by America.
Speaker 1: If there is a chance of it happening, it is
right now. And that's why I spent an hour on it,
and it's why I'm, you know, spending this hour on
it too, because I think the more people that know
about it, the more pressure builds for them to actually prosecute.
Speaker 2: It's a disgrace against America. I mean, obviously, I think
it's embezzlement. I think it's craziness. I mean, I can't
wrap my arms around it. I mean, I mean, you know,
it's just like my dad and all my grandparents, they
paid their taxes, they paid everything, and they're happy to
do it because they're proud Americans. And you know what
this concerns me is like the other side of it.
Can't get a get a grip on it. I mean,
the thing is, man, they are in buzzling from the
country and they have taken money from the country, and
you know, I don't understand it. I feel, I'm being
honest with you, I fully can't understand it.
Speaker 1: So this gets to a statement that Jordan Peterson, doctor
Jordan Peterson made that I now see everywhere, or I
see examples of it everywhere, which is that if you
have a storehouse of value right and it's unguarded, it
will be the set upon by parasites, and that you know,
that's the case.
Speaker 2: I've had a small business my whole life, you know,
I ran a great painting company. And the thing is,
I paid my taxes, I've done every you know, I've
done everything I was supposed to do, you know, and
I paid a large amount of taxes and I don't
mind doing it. It's just going to the proper place.
But at the end of the day, we're obviously finding
out that it never went to where it's supposed to go.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, so okay, So I'm not sure if you're
talking about usai D stuff or or what I like,
I've been talking about the FBI investigation into Donald Trump
and the Central Database.
Speaker 2: And all that. Yeah, I'm went you on all that,
but I mean I kind of changed views on it,
and I'm sorry about Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, So on the embezzlements, Well, you'll be interested in
this next part of it because it actually connects to
the Biden So, and I appreciate what you're saying. Jamie
and I thank you for the call. Have a great weekend.
But the the magnitude of the corruption inside the FBI
is such that we don't even know yet, and it's
going to take time. It's only been four months. Right,
We've got cash Betell in there, we have Pam Bondy,
Dan Bong, and I want to believe that they are
going to try. And this is an example, the release
of that internal FBI analysis from twenty nineteen that has
now exposed this that the FBI knew that Nelly Orr
lied to Congress about her role in the Russia collusion hoax. Right,
we know that we also now know about this prohibited
access tag, but we just found out and so now
we need to find out how many cases got this tag,
who had the authority to slap the tags on cases?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: When was this tag developed? Is this a long standing
thing or is this something that they created in order
to hide certain investigations that the Washington Field Office was
engaged in that happened to be all about Donald Trump.
But get this, it's not just Trump. The United States
Attorney screening evidence rely to the Ukrainian corruption case in
the lead up to the twenty twenty election. So Hunter Biden,
the US attorney that was going through, Remember Bill Barr
told this US attorney look through all of the stuff,
see if there's anything there. He says he did not
know that the FBI's Sentinel case management system had this
stealth feature to render files invisible during the search queries,
nor did anybody from FBI headquarters reference the existence of
such prohibited access files during discussions over access to relevant
material related to Barisma and Hunter Biden. So there you go,
there you go. Remember this was let's see here. This
is again Margo Cleveland at the Federalist dot com. Scott
Brady is his name. He served as the US attorney
for the Western District of Pennsil under Trump one point zero.
He told the Federalist that he had never heard the
phrase prohibited access. He said, yeah, I heard restricted access.
And if you type in the search bar and you're
looking for a case and it comes back as restricted access,
it'll say you can't look at it, but you know
it exists. Prohibited access doesn't even tell you it exists.
It hides it, it buries it. And he says, no
one from the Special Council Robert Mueller's team mentioned the
prohibited access functionality of Sentinel to the DOJ team that
was investigating the origins of Crossfire, Hurricane and the FBI's
fraudulent targeting of the Trump campaign. This is very significant
because Attorney General William Barr had tasked Brady with vetting
information related to Ukraine corruption, including evidence that implicated the
Biden family in a pay to play scandal. It was
hidden from Brad, who went looking to find if is
there any connection? What are Let's run a search through
the case management database. Let's run a search and find out,
you know, were there any investigations, Were there any sources
or witnesses? Is there any evidence what's been compiled by
the FBI regarding Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Jim Biden and
Beisma and the tri cooms, right and the Russian mayor's wife,
like all of these pay to play connections. Does the
FBI have anything on all of this stuff? Well, you're
running in the search bar and nothing comes up. Out
there's nothing there. And that's what he came back and said. Remember,
but he didn't even know of the prohibited access category.
Nobody told him. Seems important, all right? So Spring is
here a time of renewal and celebrations. You've got graduations, weddings, anniversaries,

Memories since nineteen ninety seven, located in mint Hill, just
off four eighty five. Mail orders are accepted to get
all the details at createavideo dot com. Margo Cleveland, writing
at the Federalist dot com about six gott Brady. She
interviewed Scott Brady, who was the US Attorney for the
Western District of Pennsylvania. He was the guy that former
Attorney General William Barr tasked with vetting information related to
Ukraine corruption and the Hunter Biden scandal and the laptop
and all that. As part of the screening process, Brady
worked with the Pittsburgh FBI office as well as FBI Headquarters,
although FBI headquarters required the local FBI agents to obtain
headquarters approval before undertaking any investigative steps. Among other things,
Brady asked the FBI agents to run keywords through the
case management database called Sentinel to locate information within the
FBI's holdings that would help narrow the that would help
narrow the scope of the searches right and assess whether
the evidence about Ukraine corruption held any kind of level
of reliability. According to Brady, agents in both the Pittsburgh
FBI office and headquarters ran the Sentinel searches and then
gave him the results. Brady told the Federalist that the
Sentinel search results that were shared with him revealed no
hits related to the Hunter Biden laptop or material found
on the laptop In fact, Brady did not even learn
of the existence of the laptop until The New York
Post broke the story in October, after his team had
already concluded its investigation. But what do we know about
the laptop and the FBI? They had it, So how
does the FBI have it? But the sentinel search shows
no results. Well, they lay did prohibited access obviously, right,
They labeled it prohibited access, and so when the agents
type in Hunter Biden Ukraine laptop whatever, nothing pops up.
Because that's what the prohibited access designation is designed to do.
It is designed to hide. It is the smoking gun.
Just like Hillary Clinton's server, not her emails, her server,
that's the smoking gun. You do not set up your
own server and then run everything through it unless you're
trying to maintain control over the deletion of the evidence.
That's it. Now, Whether FBI headquarters hid reports on the
Hunter Biden laptop or other documents relevant to Brady's vetting
of the evidence of the Biden crime family and Ukrainian corruption,
we don't know for sure. Like to me personally, it
seems pretty obvious that that's what happened, But maybe not.
Maybe they just never entered it into the case management
service or a system at all. Right, that's possible too.
So here are some of the questions the FBI needs
to answer. According to Cleveland, when was the prohibited access
function added to Sentinel?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Who decided to addit, Who approved that decision? Who was
told of that decision? Who can mark material as prohibited access?
What standard determines whether material is classified as prohibited versus restricted?
Who has to approve that designation? Who can see the
existence of files designated as prohibited? How long are materials
maintained under the prohibited designation? What happens if all the
individuals with prohibited access to a file leave the FBI?
Can anybody do you see the existence of the file
or is it just them? Are these materials ever deleted?
Can Sentinel be audited to determine if documents have been deleted?
If it can be audited by whom? Can the documents
be recovered? Who can delete the documents? Who can recover
the documents? Has an audit ever been conducted on the
prohibited files? By whom? What were the results? Can the
FBI obtain a list of all the prohibited materials? How
has the FBI obtained such a list. How many documents
were logged as prohibited? Has anyone reviewed those documents to
find out if they were relevant to any criminal or
civil cases? Have there ever been congressional or inspector general
investigations any Foyer requests that were compromised or were not
responded to because of these designations. When somebody searches for
a term that appears in the prohibibited access document and
then gets a message that says, oh, no responsive documents,
are there any triggers that alert the agents working on
that case?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Like, if I'm working a case, I've got it. I've
got it hidden in the sentinel system. And then you
come along and you're like, hey, I'm looking for information
on Hunter Biden cases. Whatever do I get a ping?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Do I get a text message or an alert that says, oh,
you're trying to access the file? If so, what steps
are taken to ensure that any relevant information hidden behind
this prohibited access coding reaches the proper parties?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What if I'm working on something that's prohibited, you look
for something, you get no results because it's prohibited. Can
I reach out to you?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Am I made aware and then can I make you
aware of what's in the file. Do all FBI agents
know about the prohibited access functionality? Is it in training material?
Does the FBI Domestic Investigations Operations Guide cover Sentinel? Does
Sentinel show the prohibited access coding as an option when
you enter a document? I mean, this is all basic
fundamental stuff because we have no idea, and you've got
US attorneys that think about this, that have taken cases
to trial, and they don't know if all of the
evidence that was collected by the FBI was ever actually
turned over to them, let alone the defense attorneys. This this,
this has to be completely ripped open because you could
have people in prison that don't belong there, You can
have litigation that would have gone the other This is
a mess. This could be galactic in proportion. I mean,
like the the scale and size of this dwarfs anything
that I can recall, depending on how many of these
files were actually designated as prohibited. My sneaking suspicion though,
and maybe I'm just a little bit of a cynic,
it's just about the Trump stuff. I think it's only
about the political stuff. I think it's about Trump. I
think the cases include Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton.
I think it's the political ones, right, I think those
are the ones that they listed as prohibited. So this way,
nobody outside the Washington Field office or Washington headquarters, that
nobody outside of that little cabal would be able to
know and respond to freedom of information requests or whistleblow.
I suspect that's what's going on. Hopefully that's the extent
of it, because if it reaches into all criminal and
civil matters, I mean, this could blow up hundreds of cases.
All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you
