We've learned that the Intelligence Community's Inspector General can't provide any information about contacts between the majority and the whistleblower before his involvement. The only way to obtain that information is from the majority themselves. They are fact witnesses in the same investigation they are running. Nowhere else in America can you be both a fact witness and the prosecutor in an investigation, especially one to remove a president. It's entirely inappropriate. Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from running an investigation where his committee members or staff are fact witnesses regarding contact with the whistleblower and the process.

The inspector general for the intelligence community cannot provide information about the contacts between the HPSCI majority and the whistleblower before his involvement. The only source for this information is the HPSCI majority, who are fact witnesses in the investigation they are conducting. It is unprecedented for anyone in the U.S. to be both a fact witness and the prosecutor in an investigation, especially one aimed at removing a president from office. This situation is entirely inappropriate, and Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from leading an investigation where his committee members or staff are fact witnesses regarding their contact with the whistleblower and the whistleblower process.

The former FBI director found a hidden room in the Hoover Building containing documents and computer hard drives that James Comey and others concealed. The room was locked, and access was restricted to prevent discovery. The speaker's team is currently investigating the contents of the room. The speaker says people want them to make arrests, but the speaker wants to run a methodical investigation.

The inspector general for the intelligence community cannot provide information about contacts between the Hipsey majority and the whistleblower before his involvement. The only way to obtain that information is from the Hipsey majority themselves, who are fact witnesses in the investigation they are running. It is claimed that nowhere else in the United States can someone be both a fact witness and the investigator, especially in an investigation to remove a president. Therefore, Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from running an investigation where his committee members or staff are fact witnesses about contact with the whistleblower and the whistleblower process.

Breaking news from the Southern District of Florida (SD-FL): two junior assistant US attorneys have resigned after being asked to participate in a broad investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. A source familiar with internal concerns tells MSNBC that US Attorney Jason Redding Quinones called a division-wide meeting this afternoon to address the resignations and the investigation. The reporting notes that at least 30 subpoenas were sent out late Friday by SD-FL to individuals including former CIA chief John Brennan and former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. In addition to the resignations, it is reported that one of the junior ASAs who resigned felt unable to participate because doing so would violate their ethical responsibilities. The resignations are notable because it would be unusual for junior ASAs to be pulled into such a major investigation. Significantly, the subpoenas were signed by SD-FL’s number three, the executive assistant US attorney, rather than by a career prosecutor in leadership. This is presented as abnormal, with a comparison made to past instances where leadership signatures were absent from such actions, such as Lindsay Halligan signing indictments in the Northern District of Virginia due to a lack of available career prosecutors. The developments prompted SD-FL US Attorney Quinones to convene a unit-wide meeting of two to three dozen prosecutors in the major crimes division. The scope of the ongoing investigation remains unclear, but it is connected to the broader claim—involving Trump administration officials—that former Obama and Biden administration officials undertook to undermine the candidacies and presidencies of Donald Trump. The report also notes that President Trump has explicitly called for the jailing of Barack Obama and referenced other individuals in relation to the investigation. Subpoenas have been issued, and at least two SD-FL assistant US attorneys have resigned so far. In summary, two junior ASAs resigned after being asked to participate in a high-profile investigation tied to claims of Russian interference in 2016, with subpoenas issued to notable former officials, and the sign-off on those subpoenas coming from the office’s number-three official, prompting an internal meeting at SD-FL.

There are too many connections between Trump and Russia to be coincidences, including financial entanglements and attempts to hide meetings. Regardless of the Trump investigation, Russia interfered in the election to help Trump, hurt the speaker, and destabilize democracy, and they haven't stopped. The Russians stole campaign manager John Podesta's emails, conveyed them to WikiLeaks, and released them the same day as the "Hollywood Access" tape. The emails were weaponized and targeted at specific voters. Investigators are looking into where the Russians got the targeting information. The Russian government, directed by Putin, engaged in espionage against Americans to influence the election, as confirmed by 17 intelligence agencies. The most important question is whether Trump will admit and condemn Russian interference and reject their espionage, which he has encouraged in the past. Trump's admiration for Putin, a "wannabe dictator," is exemplified by his suggestion to leave NATO, giving a green light to a "murderous, brutal dictator."

The attorney investigating the coup against the speaker will not announce any results before the election, which is disappointing. The speaker believes it's a terrible thing and the biggest political scandal in the country's history. The speaker expresses frustration with Republicans, stating that if it were the other side, many people would be in jail. The speaker claims to have fully declassified everything and criticizes a report on Comey by Mr. Horowitz, an Obama appointee. The speaker finds the report to be extremely negative and unlike anything they have seen before.

An FBI agent at the center of the Russia collusion lie was sentenced with no jail time or fines, despite altering a document that enabled the FBI to spy on an American citizen for a year. Kevin Klein Smith received twelve months probation and four hundred hours of community service for doctoring an email about Trump advisor Carter Page, so the FBI could get a FISA warrant to wiretap him. This is the first guilty plea from special counsel John Durham's criminal investigation on the origins of the Russia collusion lie. Congressman Devin Nunes stated this is the worst thing that could have happened for national security. Nunes said Republicans in the House and Senate had alerted the court to problems with the Carter Page FISA application. Republicans may not support the FISA court moving forward.

The speaker serves on the armed services committee, overseeing cyber efforts and receiving quarterly classified briefings. After a recent briefing from the intelligence committee and Department of Defense, the speaker believes that the listeners and Tim Pool were victims of a Russian malign influence campaign. The speaker emphasizes that they were not involved or solicitous, but rather the victims. The speaker feels obligated to share this perception, based on access to intelligence and evidence, because the listeners and Tim Pool have been unfairly smeared. The speaker believes it's clear they were victims of Russian election interference, and that's how it should be portrayed.

The department has issued a letter outlining restrictions on the speaker’s testimony, and as a result, the speaker will not answer questions on topics of public interest that fall under those restrictions. Specifically, questions about the opening of the FBI’s Russia investigation, which occurred months before the speaker’s appointment, and matters related to the Steele dossier cannot be addressed. These topics are the subject of ongoing review by the department, and any inquiries should be directed to the FBI or the Justice Department. The speaker reiterates the importance of adhering to what is written in the department’s report. The report contains the findings and analysis, along with the reasons for the decisions made. The speaker states that the results of the investigation were stated with precision and that there is no intention to summarize or describe the results in a different way during the testimony. Moreover, the speaker has previously stated that they will not comment on the actions of the attorney general or of Congress. The speaker emphasizes a commitment to their role and to the standards of the department. They note that they were appointed as a prosecutor and intend to adhere to that role and to the department standards that govern. Finally, the speaker reflects on a history of challenges to democracy, highlighting that the Russian government’s efforts to interfere in U.S. elections are among the most serious.

Ona McDaniel, the current leader of the National Republican Party, has given the contract to secure the party's computers for the upcoming election to CrowdStrike, a company associated with Hillary Clinton. This deal grants CrowdStrike access to all Republican data, including strategies, donors, and voter information. Surprisingly, other Republican members of Congress do not seem concerned about this. It is crucial that we demand the immediate removal of Ona McDaniel to prevent the CIA from using our playbook against us and sabotaging our chances in the November election.

Devin Nunes has earned trust for his integrity and dedication to the intelligence community. He is eager to demonstrate to the ethics committee that he followed all proper guidelines and laws. To avoid distracting the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian interference in the election, Nunes offered to step aside as lead Republican on this probe, and this decision is supported. Representative Mike Conaway will now lead this investigation for the House Republicans on the intelligence committee. He will oversee a professional investigation into Russia's actions and follow the facts. Nunes wants to clear himself while the investigation continues without distractions.

The inspector general for the intelligence community cannot provide information about contacts between the "Hipsey majority" and the whistleblower before the whistleblower's involvement. Therefore, that information can only come from the "Hipsey majority" themselves. These individuals are fact witnesses in the same investigation they are running. It is claimed that nowhere else in the United States can someone be both a fact witness and the investigator, especially in an investigation to remove a president. It is asserted that Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from running an investigation where his committee members or staff are fact witnesses regarding contact with the whistleblower and the whistleblower process.

Congressman Devin Nunes stated that this is the worst thing that could have happened for national security. Nunes also stated that Republicans had alerted the court to problems with the Carter Page FISA application for nearly four years. Republicans may not be for the FISA court moving forward.

We've learned that the Intelligence Community's Inspector General can't provide information about contact between the majority and the whistleblower before the whistleblower's involvement. The only source for this information is the majority themselves. They are fact witnesses in the very investigation they're leading. In the United States, it is unheard of for someone to be both a fact witness and a prosecutor, especially in an investigation to potentially remove a president. It's inappropriate, and Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from leading an investigation where his committee members or staff are fact witnesses regarding contact with the whistleblower and the process.

Chairman Schiff should be disqualified from running an investigation because his committee members or staff are fact witnesses regarding contact with the whistleblower and the whistleblower process. The speaker has not spoken directly with the whistleblower but would like to. Acclaimed Republican Intelligence Committee members question this.

Speaker 1 asserts that there is a two-tier justice system weaponized to persecute people based on political beliefs, and that Director Wray has personally helped weaponize the FBI against conservatives. He references the Twitter files, Missouri v. Biden disclosures, the Durham investigation and report, and the exposure and collapse of the Russian collusion hoax. He asks Director Wray what he is prepared to do to reform federal law enforcement to earn back the trust of the American people, noting that he asked Mister Durham about this, and Durham said he did not think things can go too much further given that law enforcement, particularly the FBI or Department of Justice, runs a two-tiered system of justice. Speaker 0 responds by disagreeing with the other speaker’s characterization, saying the description of his bias against conservatives seems insane given his personal background. He explains that the approach to protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution starts with emphasizing to his staff to do the right thing in the right way, which means following the facts wherever they lead, no matter who likes it. He outlines several actions: enhanced procedures, safeguards, approvals, double checks and triple checks, record-keeping requirements, accountability policies, and funding for new functions like an Office of Internal Audit that didn’t exist before. He notes the installation of an entirely new leadership team from his predecessor and asserts that where he can take action, he will to hold people accountable by removing them from the chain of command. The exchange ends with an invitation to speak further, though the remark is truncated: “Gentlemen, ladies, time to speak to the….”

This week, we saw cold hard evidence of the Trump campaign, indeed, the Trump family eagerly intending to collude possibly with Russia, a hostile foreign power to influence American elections. In the month, again, as we celebrate the courage of our founders, Republicans in congress have become enablers of the Trump Russia assault on our democracy. After these latest revelations, it's becoming clear we have suffered a desecration of our democracy not seen since Watergate. Speaker Ryan must allow a vote on an outside independent kit mission to get to the bottom of the Trump campaign's role in Russia's assault on our democracy and prevent Putin from ever doing it again immediately outside independent commission. It's not just about what happened in the past. It's to prevent it from happening again.

Two years ago, the acting attorney general asked me to serve as special counsel, creating the special counsel's office to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, including any links or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the Trump campaign. I have not spoken publicly during the investigation, but I am speaking out now because our investigation is complete, the attorney general has made the report largely public, the office is formally closed, and I am resigning from the Department of Justice to return to private life. Beyond a few remarks, the office’s written work should speak for itself. We begin with interference in the 2016 presidential election. The grand jury, in an indictment, alleged that Russian intelligence officers, part of the Russian military, launched a concerted attack on our political system, using sophisticated cyber techniques to hack into computers and networks used by the Clinton campaign. They stole private information and released it through fake online identities and through WikiLeaks, and the releases were designed and timed to interfere with the election and damage a presidential candidate. In a separate indictment, a private Russian entity engaged in a social media operation where Russian citizens posed as Americans to influence an election. These indictments contain allegations, and we are not commenting on the guilt or innocence of any specific defendant. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. The indictments and other activities in our report describe efforts to interfere in our political system, and they needed to be investigated and understood, which is among the reasons the Department of Justice established our office. It was also a reason we investigated efforts to obstruct the investigation. The matters we investigated were of paramount importance; it was critical to obtain full and accurate information from every person we questioned. When a subject obstructs an investigation or lies to investigators, it strikes at the core of the government’s effort to find the truth and hold wrongdoers accountable. Let me say a word about the report. Speaker 1 asks: The name of that firm was Fusion GPS. Is that correct? On page 103, volume two, when referring to the firm that produced the Steele reporting, the name is Fusion GPS. Speaker 0: I’m not familiar with that. Speaker 1 clarifies: It was Fusion GPS. It produced the opposition research.

Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, claimed that the Intelligence Community believes Hunter Biden's laptop and its emails are part of a Russian disinformation campaign. However, the Director of National Intelligence stated that there is no intelligence supporting this claim and no evidence has been shared with Schiff or any other member of Congress. The Director emphasized that using the intelligence community to push a political narrative is unacceptable. He made it clear that Hunter Biden's laptop is not involved in any Russian disinformation campaign, and he believes the American people are aware of this.

The speaker stated that the intelligence community repeatedly and incidentally collected information about US citizens involved in the Trump transition. Details about US persons associated with the incoming administration, with little or no apparent foreign intelligence value, were widely disseminated in intelligence community reporting. The speaker also confirmed that additional names of Trump transition team members were unmasked. He emphasized that none of this surveillance was related to Russia or the investigation of Russian activities or of the Trump team. The House Intelligence Committee will thoroughly investigate the surveillance and its subsequent dissemination to determine several questions: who was aware of it; why it was not disclosed to Congress; who requested and authorized the additional unmasking; whether anyone directed the intelligence community to focus on Trump associates; and whether any laws, regulations, or procedures were violated. The speaker said he has asked the directors of the FBI, the NSA, and the CIA to expeditiously comply with his March 15 letter and to provide a full account of these surveillance activities. He noted that he informed Speaker Ryan of this new information this morning and that he would be going to the White House this afternoon to share what he knows with the president and his team. Before taking questions, the speaker referenced a recent event, expressing concern over a terrorist attack in the United Kingdom and extending thoughts and prayers to friends and allies across the pond. He added that intelligence reports clearly show that the president-elect and his team were, at least, monitored and disseminated in intelligence and what appears to be, though not raw, intelligence reporting channels.

The speaker addresses immigration enforcement and the investigation into the Minneapolis incident, focusing on the response of ICE and the broader process of accountability. He begins by referencing the instruction to “get the out of Minneapolis” and questions, in hindsight, whether that was the appropriate response. He states that he stands by exactly what he said, and clarifies that his remarks were a reaction to an immediate conclusion drawn by the federal government. That conclusion asserted that the ICE agent was acting in self-defense and, shortly thereafter, labeled the victim as a domestic terrorist. The speaker emphasizes the need to conduct a full and fair investigation. He expresses a deep concern about trust in the investigative process when the government that is conducting the investigation itself has drawn initial conclusions. He argues that when the federal government, which is responsible for the investigation, announces conclusions first, it becomes harder for the public to trust the investigation. He asserts that it is important for the American people to gain trust in the process. The speaker then voices specific concerns about relying exclusively on the FBI rather than also involving the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA). He notes that the BCA is an entity with police officers, law enforcement personnel, and attorneys who have extensive experience investigating officer-involved shootings. He mentions that the BCA has previously conducted investigations that have led to both charges and non-charges, implying that their involvement could influence the proceedings. Finally, he states a principle: no one should hide from the facts. If people are being transparent and not hiding from the facts, they should ensure that the investigation is full and fair. The overall message stresses the importance of trust, balance in investigative leadership, and a commitment to a comprehensive review of the incident, rather than premature or exclusive conclusions by one investigative authority.

Adam Schiff misled about classified information to target Trump, which raises concerns about his trustworthiness with sensitive data. He should not serve on any committees.

It is important to put the investigation into Trump and his associates aside. There is no denying that the Russians interfered in the election to help Trump, hurt Hillary Clinton, and destabilize democracy. According to public testimony before Congress by intelligence professionals, this interference is a clear and present danger to the country. If the roles were reversed and Hillary Clinton had won, she would have stopped at nothing to find out what happened and ensure it never happens again. She would have stood up in front of the country and said that even if it advantaged her, she would not rest until the truth was uncovered.

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.
