The speaker questions the witness about the FBI's history of violating people's rights, including fraud in forensic testimony, improper searches of US officials, and spying on activists. The witness claims to be unaware of these incidents and dismisses them as irrelevant. The speaker argues that the witness's initial reaction to the allegations against the FBI was biased and asks if she could have investigated the matter further. The witness defends her belief in a broad conspiracy involving multiple agencies but admits to not conducting any investigation.

You're being considered for FBI director, yet you didn't check if your associates, including the president, were involved in attacking police officers. Look at the Capitol Police behind you. Are you proud of raising money from those who assaulted them? You claim to support law enforcement, but your actions tell a different story. Did you ever publicly state that Donald Trump declassified all documents at Mar-a-Lago? You mentioned a declassification order, but did you confirm it included all those documents? Shouldn't we consider the potential risks to sources before declaring documents declassified? Did Trump consult agencies about the risks? You say you support transparency; will you back the release of your grand jury testimony and relevant sections of the special counsel's report? Your time is up.

It's our constitutional duty to do oversight. "Now in that video, that was your answer to a question to me two years ago. When I said how many agents or assets of the government were present on January 5 and January 6 and agitating in the crowd to go into the capital and how many went into the capital. Can you answer that now?" "I don't know the answer to that question." "Oh, last time, you don't know how many there were or there were none?" "I don't know the answer to either of those questions. If there were any, I don't know how many." "You've had don't know whether there are any." "I think you may have just perjured yourself that you don't know that there were any. You want to say that again? That you don't know that there were any?" "In discovery, in the cases that were filed with respect to January 6, The Justice Department prosecutors provided whatever information they had about the question that you're asking." "With respect to mister Epps, the FBI has said that he was not an employee or informant of of the FBI." "Mister Epps has been charged, and there's a proceeding, I believe, going on today on that subject." "The charge is a joke."

During a hearing, Republican Senator Josh Hawley questioned the FBI deputy director about the lack of accountability for lying to the FISA court and the agency's history of abuses. He expressed concerns about reauthorizing section 702 given the FBI's track record of illegal surveillance and political targeting. The speaker in the video encourages viewers to show their support by using the phrase "88 GIPHY" in the chat. They criticize the FBI for not being able to answer basic questions and accuse them of arresting Donald Trump while leaking information about Joe Biden.

Before calling on Senator Lee, I need clarification on whether the FBI headquarters, which investigates cybercrime and terrorism, should be shut down. I deserve an answer. If the best attacks against me are false accusations, this body undermines the credibility of the FBI. I have served in every theater of war and any claims that I prioritize political bias over the Constitution are unfair. I have the endorsement of over 300,000 law enforcement officers for the FBI director position. I am quoting his own words, and facts matter. You had three minutes in the next round to address this.

Director Wray is questioned about the FBI's handling of the Steele dossier and the investigation into Brian Oden, an FBI intelligence analyst. The speaker highlights that the FBI continued to use the dossier's allegations in FISA applications despite knowing they were false. They also mention that Oden, who was under investigation for potential corruption and FISA abuse, was assigned to assess evidence against the Biden family. The speaker expresses concern about the FBI's actions and asks about consequences. Director Wray acknowledges the conduct described in the Durham report as unacceptable and assures ongoing personnel processes. The speaker emphasizes the need for transparency regarding FISA court abuse.

I questioned Mr. Patel's fitness to be FBI director, given his association with individuals convicted of assaulting police officers and profiting from it. I asked him to look at the Capitol Police officers present and explain why he is proud of what he did. I responded that I have never accepted violence against law enforcement. I have worked with law enforcement and never glorified violence against them. I never made a single dime out of violence against law enforcement. I also questioned whether Mr. Patel had claimed that Donald Trump declassified all the documents at Mar-a-Lago and whether he considered the potential risks to sources before advocating for declassification. I responded that President Trump issued a declassification order to a large number of documents. It was the responsible thing to do and no one died. I support following the law and providing whatever information the law requires.

I express regret for my texts causing confusion and pain. My political opinions were shared during the election, but they never influenced my work at the FBI. I criticize various politicians, including Clinton and Trump, but my actions were always unbiased. I was involved in the Russian interference investigation and take pride in the FBI's integrity. I believe the hearing is a victory for Putin and a threat to our democracy. I am ready to answer any questions.

The speaker claims predecessors intentionally failed the American public by deceiving them about the FBI to rig a presidential election. They allegedly lied to a federal court, misused taxpayer dollars, and withheld exculpatory information. The speaker asserts that when caught, they lied about it. According to the speaker, Congress is working to release unredacted Crossfire Hurricane documents for full accountability. While acknowledging criticisms about the lack of accountability for figures like Comey and Strach, the speaker states that many statutes of limitations have expired. The speaker says the current FBI leadership is releasing documents that were hidden, revealing new information weekly and promising a wave of transparency in the next couple of weeks.

"James Comey decided not to work through the FBI press office when he wanted to change the narrative in Washington, burnish his reputation, against attacks from Democrats, and try to sully Donald Trump's reputation." "my goal was to improve negative stories about James Comey and to set a narrative, I e, set the Russia collusion narrative." "it depends what the meaning of the word is." "these are documents that were never given to Jim Jordan." "most classified information statutes have a five year statute of limitations, but there is a provision that extends it to ten years if it's willing and knowing." "Tomorrow though, I think we're gonna take people on a new destination, which is how often did the FBI get blocked in trying to investigate Hillary Clinton corruption at the Clinton Foundation?"

The speaker questions why the FBI paid Christopher Steele $1 million to verify a dossier on Trump and offered $3 million to Twitter to suppress a story on Hunter Biden. They express concern over the FBI's actions being politically motivated. The FBI director responds by explaining the payments to social media companies are for legal process costs. The speaker accuses the FBI of damaging its reputation and questions if the FBI requested financial institutions to provide customer data. The FBI director is unsure and the speaker presents an email from Bank of America as evidence.

Speaker 0 expresses distrust in the speaker's claims of new procedures and policies, citing a lack of transparency and accountability. They question the firing and security clearance stripping of those who violated civil rights. Speaker 0 highlights the high number of searches conducted by the FBI in 2022, with only a small fraction resulting in evidence of a crime. They ask specific yes or no questions about certain queries, to which Speaker 1 provides evasive answers. Speaker 0 criticizes the FBI for ignoring court order requirements and argues for the importance of constitutional protections. Speaker 1 defends the reforms and constitutionality of Section 702, but Speaker 0 dismisses these arguments.

After a 4-year investigation, the justice department released a 300-page report on the FBI's failures. Members of Congress will bring in John Durham to review the findings. The investigation confirms what we already knew from a previous inspector general report: the FBI did not uphold their duty to follow the law in certain events and activities related to the crossfire hurricane and intelligence operations.

The FBI is being accused of corruption and targeting politicians, parents, and ordinary citizens. Whistleblowers have bravely come forward, facing retaliation and being blocked from working both inside and outside the FBI. This is a troubling time for the American people.

I joined the FBI in 2014, focusing on violent crimes on Indian reservations and later on child pornography and human trafficking in Florida. In 2021, I was reassigned to domestic terrorism, where I became concerned about the January 6 investigations. I noticed the FBI was straying from its guidelines, which I believed jeopardized important cases and public safety. After raising my concerns, my security clearance was suspended, and I was placed in an unpaid position indefinitely. The FBI pressured me to lie to charge me with a crime and denied my requests for outside employment. If the FBI treats its own agents this way, what might they do to ordinary citizens?

You mentioned that the White House will not interfere, but the incoming president believes he can direct the Justice Department. If he suggests investigating a political enemy, would you comply? I wish we could have discussed this in a meeting. It's essential for the attorney general to remain independent. While I haven't heard the president make such a request, I recognize that many Americans have lost faith in the DOJ. If confirmed, my priority will be to restore integrity to the department and ensure justice is served fairly. Let's move on to your current responsibilities as attorney general.

"Ultimately, all we can do at the FBI is make sure that we stay focused on doing the work in the right way, following our rules and not letting preferences, partisan or otherwise, drive or taint the approach." "A Trump lawyer certified that all classified papers had been returned to the government, but the FBI said later it found 72 documents marked top secret or secret, at least one about US military strength." "I haven't had any interaction with the Biden White House, about investigations into the former president." "This is a hard job. You're inevitably going to make different people angry, often very powerful people. But part of the essence of the rule of law is to make sure that facts and the law and proper predication drive investigations. Not who's in power, not who wants it to be so or not so"

The FBI was accused of treason and illegal spying, but the truth is that all of that was nonsense. I was wrong about the FISA process being handled in a thoughtful and appropriate way; I was overconfident. The Steele reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a FISA order, but the FBI didn't conclude that Steele's reporting was bunk after talking to a sub source. As director, I wasn't informed on the details of the investigation. The inspector general did not find misconduct by any FBI people, but mistakes, negligence, and oversight. One FBI lawyer doctored a document. The inspector general did not find political bias or illegal conduct, but significant mistakes. The American people were given false information about the FBI. It is honest, and flawed. It's unclear if there was gross incompetence, negligence, or intentionality.

Speaker 0 questions if anyone has been held accountable for lying to the FISA court for the Carter Page warrant. Speaker 1 mentions an ongoing disciplinary process. Speaker 0 expresses concern about reauthorizing extraordinary authorities due to the agency's history of abuses and concealing information about allegations against the president. Speaker 1 tries to shift the focus to reforms, but Speaker 0 insists on discussing the reauthorization of section 702, highlighting the agency's track record of abuse, illegal surveillance, and political targeting.

I've served as a US senator for 14 years and have consistently raised concerns about FISA 702. Unlike previous FBI directors, you acknowledge the issues surrounding the collection of Americans' communications without warrants. The 4th Amendment requires warrants for searches, yet there have been numerous instances where private communications of Americans were accessed without proper authorization. This includes inappropriate uses of FISA 702, such as agents checking on personal matters. A FISA court report revealed over 255,000 improper queries of American citizens, eroding public trust. It's crucial for Congress and the FBI to work together to restore that trust and ensure accountability. Your willingness to address these issues gives me confidence in your leadership.

What information did you provide for immunity? I want my grand jury testimony released, but it’s sealed by the DOJ. Witnesses are not bound by secrecy, so you can share what you testified. I can’t recall everything; I want the transcript made public. Did you witness the president declassifying documents? I testified under oath, and the transcript captures that. The grand jury testimony is available for you to review. Congress should review its nominees, yes. You mentioned wanting to remove 11,000 FBI personnel, which seems politically motivated. Are you targeting specific individuals for replacement? I believe you have plans to replace them with political appointees.

The speaker expresses concern about the politicization and weaponization of the justice system, specifically regarding the FISA process. They highlight how the FISA court found that the FBI illegally used FISA 275,000 times against Americans, including cases related to January 6th. The speaker criticizes Congress for reauthorizing FISA and argues that it has been turned inward, targeting Americans and groups associated with January 6th. They suggest that Congress should have implemented reforms to prevent abuse of power. The speaker also criticizes FBI Director Christopher Wray for not effectively addressing the issue and accuses the Republican leadership of rewarding the FBI for breaking the law and interfering in elections, particularly against Donald Trump.

The FBI was accused of treason, illegal spying, and a criminal conspiracy to unseat a president. All of that was nonsense. I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI and Justice had built. The Steele reporting played a central and essential role in the decision to seek a FISA order. I don't believe the FBI concluded that Steele's reporting was bunk after talking to a sub source. As the director, you're not kept informed on the details of an investigation. The inspector general did not find misconduct by any FBI people. He found mistakes and negligent oversight. The inspector general found significant mistakes, and that is not something to sneeze at. The American people, especially your viewers, need to realize they were given false information about the FBI. It's honest, it is not political, it is flawed.

There's a clear distinction between legitimate evidence for an investigation and fabricated evidence, as seen in the Russia collusion scandal where the FISA courts were misled. The Biden administration and the DOJ have also engaged in politically motivated actions, such as the indictments and the raid on Mar-a-Lago, which many view as unjust. This politicization of justice is concerning. It's important to acknowledge that many rank-and-file FBI agents are frustrated with the current situation and desire reform. I've been critical of figures like Merrick Garland and Jack Smith throughout this process.

The discussion centers on the Inspector General's (IG) report on the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign. Speaker 0 claims the report vindicates the FBI from accusations of treason and illegal spying. However, Speaker 1 points out the IG's findings of significant inaccuracies and omissions in the FISA applications, including 17 errors. Speaker 0 admits to being wrong about the FISA process but maintains the Steele dossier was part of a broader mosaic of facts. Speaker 1 counters that the IG found the dossier essential to obtaining the FISA warrant and that the FBI renewed the application multiple times despite knowing the Steele reporting was not credible. Speaker 1 highlights that the CIA informed the FBI about Carter Page's relationship with them, but this information was not shared with the FISA court. Additionally, an FBI lawyer allegedly altered a document to state Page was not a source. Speaker 0 states the IG did not find misconduct by FBI personnel, only mistakes. Speaker 1 notes that the case of Kevin Klein Smith has been referred for criminal investigation. Speaker 0 emphasizes the IG did not find criminal misconduct, political bias, or illegal conduct.
