There are some very suspect things about how the Hillary Clinton email investigation was handled. The fact that Loretta Lynch, who was the attorney general at the time, met with Bill Clinton on the tarmac right before Hillary had to speak with the FBI is definitely one of them. Also, Loretta Lynch told Jim Comey to publicly call this a matter, instead of a criminal investigation. These actions downplayed what Hillary Clinton had done while all the drama was being created around Donald Trump and the Russia collusion, which never materialized. What the American people are going to find out about the FBI is astonishing, especially the level of bias.

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.

Your investigation uncovered witnesses who told you that or told your team that CIA Director John Brennan overruled intelligence officials who were objecting to the inclusion of the Steele dossier in the intelligence community assessment. How well would some of those witnesses hold up in court or in a public hearing of the House Oversight Committee? Well, these are some of the most senior intelligence officials within the CIA who came forward and spoke the truth to the House Intelligence Committee's, majority staff team that launched this investigation. They invest they they spoke to and interviewed over 20 intelligence community professionals, senior officials within the CIA, which is how they uncovered the truth of what actually happened as reported in the documents that we released yesterday.

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.

I've never completely understood the term "deep state". What I can tell you is that the FBI has 37,000 men and women working in field offices all over the country and in LIGAD offices all over the world. These are people of character, of courage, of principle, of selflessness, and of patriotism. That's the FBI that I see. I appreciate that, and I hope the president stops attacking the FBI.

"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?"

People are trying to say that the FBI is corrupt and that the Steele dossier is discredited, and that the investigation into Russian interference is based on nonsense. However, the Steele dossier was taken seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp. There is a big move to undermine the Mueller investigation by calling it names. The American people were attacked, and that can't happen again. It is unpatriotic to try to stop an investigation from going forward so we can make sure it doesn't happen again.

All statements taken out of context misrepresent my 16 years of service. Those suggesting otherwise are spreading false information. If confirmed as FBI director, my focus will be on creating a de-weaponized and de-politicized law enforcement system. The priority will be strict adherence to the Constitution and maintaining a singular standard of justice.

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.

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.

There are more documents to be declassified that will show how sinister the FBI was in amplifying Hillary Clinton's steel dossier as real and credible, and how they buried the counterintelligence referral memo. According to Speaker 1, he and FBI director Patel will be declassifying these additional documents. Speaker 1 stated that there is no Russia collusion hoax file cabinet at the FBI or CIA, and that they have to look for well-hidden documents by tracing through emails and looking for signs and clues. The Trump administration will continue to shed transparency, light, and truth because this was the greatest political scandal of our lifetime. It derailed the country and President Trump's first four years in office, and Donald Trump is committed to making sure it doesn't happen again.

President Trump has fought to deliver results for Americans despite the Democrats' baseless impeachment. High levels of government, including President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, had intelligence that this was planted by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The speaker claims there was Democratic coordination with the whistleblower, incessant leaks, and an unprecedented closed-door process, closed to members, the press, and the people, starting the inquiry without a vote. Director Comey did not follow proper protocols for briefing congressional leadership on the counterintelligence investigation. The Steele dossier justified the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The speaker asserts that the DOJ and FBI should not do the political bidding of Democrats and that lives were ruined by the illegal weaponization of the FBI and DOJ. This attack was on the American people, but support for President Trump is stronger than ever.

- Speaker 0 states they believe certain people are dishonest and crooked and that they may have to pay a price; they insist they are truly bad and dishonest people, and imply consequences may follow. - Speaker 1 discusses a criminal investigation into James Comey and John Brennan related to the so-called Russian collusion hoax, asserting they tried to ruin Trump’s life and that he prevailed. - Speaker 1 notes that for years, ranking members of Congress, the intelligence community, and the FBI claimed Donald Trump was colluding with Russia to win the 2016 election, and that this was continued through his first presidency. - Speaker 2 references emails suggesting Donald Trump Jr. was willing to collude with Russia, questioning how to know what happens when Trump and Putin meet, and suggests Trump’s repeated denials of collusion may have been truthful. - Speaker 3 asks if there has been any evidence of collusion, coordination, or conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, and Speaker 2 disagrees, saying there is plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy in plain sight. - Speaker 1 cites a recently declassified CIA “lessons learned” document from John Ratcliffe noting that the investigation was messed up, aimed at preventing Trump from winning and then hampering his agenda, and mentions multiple procedural anomalies in the preparation of the ICA (intelligence community assessment). - They walk through the timeline: Christopher Steele, a former MI-6 officer with Russian intel expertise, was hired by Fusion GPS, which was paid by Perkins Coie for Hillary Clinton’s campaign (notably Mark Elias) to produce opposition research on Trump; this unvetted dossier was used to bolster the case and was shopped to media to create a narrative of Trump-Russia ties, then used as a legal hook to push a narrative. - Speaker 1 argues Hillary Clinton leveraged influence to funnel the unverified dossier into the FBI and into a FISA warrant for Carter Page, noting it was not disclosed that the dossier was funded by Hillary Clinton, which they view as a major omission. - Ratcliffe’s document is cited as saying including the Steele dossier in the ICA undermined credibility and ran counter to tradecraft principles. - A second parallel element involved Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer paid by Fusion GPS and Clinton campaign, who met Don Jr. at Trump Tower; Don Jr. texted during the meeting that he was unsure what was happening, and the meeting was publicly used to support the Steele dossier claims about Trump’s ties to Russia. - The Speaker covers Hillary Clinton’s classified server issue, including the use of BleachBit and hammers, and notes DNC servers were hacked by Russia; they frame these events as being used to shift focus to Trump collusion. - They describe Crossfire Hurricane as the investigation into Trump, calling it an “insurance policy” to deflect attention from Clinton’s classified server issues and to portray Trump as guilty, describing the investigations into Trump associates (Papadopoulos, Carter Page, Manafort, Flynn) as efforts to keep the narrative alive even after Trump’s election victory. - Speaker 1 asserts Mueller’s appointment was scope-limited but later expanded, allowing broad access and substantial taxpayer cost; Brennan and Comey are accused of feeding initial information for a political purpose, with high-level agency involvement and misrepresentation in Congress. - They claim there was never any actual evidence of Russian collusion charged against the Trump campaign. - They mention Charles McGonigal, a former FBI counterintelligence official, as someone charged in connection with Russia, implying the broader narrative was invalid and asserting that those involved lied. - The speakers conclude that the entire setup was a scam and express a desire for accountability.

President Obama tasked us with the intelligence community assessment, which led to the ongoing Special Counsel Mueller investigation. However, neither President Obama nor I knew about the FBI investigation on Trump. I personally found out about it as a private citizen through the Washington Post. It's important to note that the White House traditionally does not involve itself in such matters. The Republicans in Congress are focusing on the dossier, but they had no involvement in it.

How many illegal FISA queries have occurred under your leadership? Reports indicate over a million errors among 3.4 million queries. Do you disagree with the inspector general's assessment? I don't have those numbers right now. The court noted over 200,000 violations during your tenure. Did you knowingly mislead Senator Lee about Pfizer's involvement in the January 6 investigation? I did not perjure myself; I believed Pfizer was not involved at the time. The court found FBI personnel conducted improper queries for personal reasons. What accountability measures have been taken? There have been disciplinary actions, but I can't discuss specifics. The FBI's trust is at an all-time low, and people feel you aren't providing honest answers. In Florida, applications to work for us have increased over 100%. We are proud of our agents and they deserve better.

"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.

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.

One speaker accuses Christopher Steele of being a "grifter" who colluded with the Clinton campaign to smear President Trump as a Russian asset and sabotage his Russia/Ukraine policies. They claim Steele weaponized FISA courts and international spy agencies, and that his efforts aim to tank the "America First" movement. The speaker also references the Hunter Biden hard drive, asserting that Steele likely helped draft the letter claiming it was Russian disinformation, which they say was false. They accuse Steele of having no actual evidence against Trump. Steele responds that he is a professional intelligence officer, not a politician, and a loyal ally of the United States for 40 years, working closely with Republican and Democrat administrations. He denies working for or having contact with the Clinton campaign, stating he was a subcontractor reporting findings to the FBI, which he believes was the right thing to do.

One speaker accuses Christopher Steele of being a "grifter" who colluded with the Clinton campaign to undermine Donald Trump and sabotage his Russia/Ukraine policies. They claim Steele "weaponized" FISA courts and spy agencies to smear Trump as a Russian asset, and is now trying to tank the "America First" movement. The speaker also brings up the Hunter Biden hard drive, saying Steele likely helped draft the letter claiming it was Russian disinformation. Steele responds that he is a professional intelligence officer, not a politician, and a loyal ally of the United States for 40 years, working closely with both Republican and Democrat administrations. He denies working for or having contact with the Clinton campaign, stating he was a subcontractor for a Washington firm and reported his findings to the FBI, which he believes was the right thing to do.

There is no evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016, according to Mister Durham. The FBI's investigation had failures and did not reveal any conspiracy or collusion between Trump and Russian authorities. Vice President Biden and President Obama were aware of this, while Hillary Clinton fabricated it. The FBI orchestrated the investigation, and the media sold it to the public. The question remains: who watches the watchmen? The FBI is seen as protecting the nation's capital but not the American people. Republicans on the judiciary committee must hold the FBI accountable.

The speaker can't explain why Attorney General Barr used the word "spying" to describe the FBI's actions, suggesting Barr may have used it because the president does, which is disappointing. The speaker defends sending an investigator undercover to meet with Papadopoulos, who was connected to the Trump campaign, as a reasonable step based on information from the Australians about Papadopoulos's contact with the Russians. The speaker doesn't recall specifically approving the undercover operation but knew the team was trying to verify the information. As director, the speaker was regularly briefed on the investigation but didn't run it. The speaker wanted to keep it closely held and authorized the team to use their authorities to investigate. The speaker neither confirms nor denies knowing about the undercover operation targeting Papadopoulos, deferring to the FBI for confirmation and questioning the source of the news article reporting it.

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.
