I worked closely with Cash Patel in the White House as Mike Pence's counterterrorism adviser. Cash is a delusional liar who misrepresented intelligence and operations, even putting Navy SEALs at risk during a mission in Nigeria. I had to verify his work to avoid misinforming Pence. Cash openly disdains national security professionals, particularly at the DOJ and FBI, and is capable of conducting partisan investigations. The prospect of him becoming FBI director is alarming for law enforcement personnel. Additionally, I worry about Pam Bondi's potential role as Attorney General and how that might support Cash. These developments pose a significant risk to Americans.

The most destabilizing act in recent years was Attorney General Garland's decision to criminally prosecute a former president based on questionable facts and untested legal theories. This unprecedented move occurred after the former president announced his candidacy against Garland's boss. Such actions could encourage ambitious prosecutors to target political opponents, potentially leading to charges against President Biden's associates. It's crucial to identify and remove those who misuse their power while promoting fairness and evidence-based actions. The focus should be on restoring legitimacy to the Department of Justice and resisting the temptation for retaliatory measures.

Alarm is rising among Justice Department and FBI officials over potential revenge prosecutions from the incoming Trump administration. Some civil servants have sought legal counsel due to concerns about lengthy and costly legal battles. The selection of Matt Gaetz has intensified these fears. While officials anticipated congressional investigations, Gaetz's appointment surprised many at the DOJ. He lacks prosecutorial experience but is a staunch Trump loyalist, which raises concerns about possible criminal investigations against career DOJ and FBI officials. His appointment is viewed as a way for Trump to protect Gaetz amid ongoing ethics investigations, further escalating anxiety within the department.

The discussion centers on whether a deep state or nefarious forces are maneuvering against President Trump, and whether Trump is being restricted by a gatekeeping inner circle that blocks information. Laura Logan is cited as saying, based on her sources in the intel community, that Trump is being set up to fail and there will be no coming back if he doesn’t act, a claim they discuss with urgency and detail. Key points raised: - There is a concern about how information reaches Trump, with examples cited such as the New York Times reporting on a person removing briefing papers from the president’s desk, described as an act of treason and sedition, and discussions of withholding information from him by intelligence agencies. - An “asteroid belt” around Trump’s inner circle is described as blocking entry for others who might report to him, with gatekeepers preventing action and limiting accountability. - The lack of action within the administration is presented as a major concern, with questions about personnel in critical departments. Specific issues include unfilled ambassadorial and deputy positions across the State, Defense, and other departments, and the presence of loyalists to the prior administration. - Names and potential targets of concern are discussed, though the speaker emphasizes not knowing all the names or proving definitively. Todd Blanche is repeatedly mentioned as a name that comes up in intel tracking, and there are claims about Maria? (likely Susie Wiles) and Susie Wiles as gatekeepers; Noel Frisch’s reporting on Susie Wiles is referenced; Sergio Gore is noted as removed from White House personnel and now ambassador to India; Scavino is mentioned as involved in personnel matters. - The conversation highlights the roles of various actors: Rubio’s connections to Cuba are discussed in the context of broader foreign influence; comparisons are drawn between actors connected to Cuba, the CCP, and Chevron, suggesting influence operations. - The Trump administration is accused of having eight deputy positions in intelligence and defense occupied by people not loyal to Trump, with similar loyalties issues in the DOJ and other departments; cited examples include the delay in implementing executive orders and foreign policy reforms, such as rewriting the foreign service manual and a supposed ninety-day review of foreign assistance. - There is skepticism about the ability to replace or reform agencies like TSA and FEMA while personnel are acting or non-loyal; concerns about ambassadors who resigned on day one still remaining in place are voiced. - The impeachment discussion centers on the belief that Trump will be impeached if Republicans lose the House or Senate, with claims that impeachment would hinge on charges like failure to hold people accountable; the claim is made that there has been extensive investigation into Russia collusion and January 6, and that treason and sedition have been carried out by others, which should prompt accountability but currently do not. - The broader political strategy is described as ongoing information warfare, with allegations that those in power would use impeachment or punitive measures against Trump supporters, while those currently in power have allegedly violated constitutional duties, including border policy and redress of grievances. - They reference the Seditious Six and assert that those individuals are encouraging military disobedience; the argument is that accountability is needed, and if not, those who supported Trump may feel betrayed. - Laura Logan promotes her forthcoming episode of Going Rogue, inviting viewers to see receipts and evidence, and thanks the host,予 noting Christmas wishes and closing remarks.

Pam Bondi and the Trump DOJ are investigating James Comey and John Brennan's conduct as FBI and CIA heads. Brennan, a proponent of waterboarding under George W. Bush, allegedly shifted his views to align with the Obama administration, including commenting on Islam, to secure his appointment as CIA director. He then attacked Bush, the president he had served.

Pam Bondi is a competent choice for her role, despite differing ideological views. Her experience in immigration policy is notable, especially given Florida's aggressive stance on deportation and migrant management. She has implemented various laws affecting students and education funding, making her a formidable figure. This effectiveness poses a greater concern than the potential missteps of someone like Matt Gaetz, despite his questionable moral background. The discussion will also delve into her record on civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and other critical issues relevant to the Department of Justice, which were significant campaign topics this election cycle.

The unredacted Epstein files have been shown on Capitol Hill, with Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey beginning to view them. The discussion centers on why large portions of the documents were redacted by the DOJ and why Pam Bondi may not have complied with the Epstein Transparency Act. An ad aired during the Super Bowl urging transparency and truth about the victims and the case is referenced. Ghislain Maxwell, Epstein’s associate, appeared before Congress and pleaded the fifth when asked direct questions. Ro Khanna summarized his view of Maxwell’s deposition: after listening to her refusal to answer questions about the men who raped underage girls, she should be sent back to maximum security rather than stay in a country club setting. The conversation then returns to why the DOJ did not release the names of clients and coconspirators, with Massey highlighting the failure to release those names as a core issue. Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on Redacted to speak about the Epstein files. She emphasized the victims’ desire for transparency and the public’s right to know the truth, noting the files illustrate violence and possible murder, far beyond what initial perceptions suggested. Greene stated that the release of the files has shown the American people more than many can handle, and she argued that the DOJ is breaking the law by redacting certain names and deleting or redacting information in ways that protect the powerful. She also asserted that the files reveal a vast cover-up involving rich and powerful elites, and she tied the issue to a broader theory of an international deep state. Greene claimed that the problem is not just with individuals like Pam Bondi, but that “the man at the top is Donald Trump,” who she said initially opposed releasing the files and labeled the release a “democrat hoax.” She argued that Bondi works for Trump and that the FBI and other agencies operate under the president’s authority, making independent action difficult. She asserted that the president’s stance has influenced the pace and scope of disclosures, and that those who press for release face political backlash. She also described her confrontation with the two-party system as a “political industrial complex” that punishes dissidents, detailing how Massey and others have faced political and professional retaliation. Greene reflected on the personal cost of pushing for disclosure, recounting the pressure and the “knife in the back” she has felt from colleagues across the aisle. She described the political environment as a “blood sport” in which those pushing for transparency are isolated, while the system rewards conformity. She criticized neocon Republicans and asserted that governance is driven by fear and fundraising rather than principled action. She indicated that, for her, the Epstein issue underscores broader frustrations with Washington and the perceived inability of independent actors to enact change within a two-party framework. Regarding potential remedies, the discussion touched on the possibility of an independent counsel. Greene suggested that the American people themselves are the independent counsel, explaining that trust in politicians to appoint such counsel is limited. She expressed skepticism that the Epstein files will yield accountability, noting that the president warned that “his friends would get hurt.” She stated she does not expect significant resignations or indictments of major figures, including those connected to Israel, but underscored the desire for full transparency and justice for the victims. When asked about listing the names seen in the documents, Greene clarified that the list is held by the women involved and that reading it publicly could expose them to costly lawsuits; she did not have the list herself.

Donald Trump attempted to appoint me as deputy director of the CIA, but Gina Haskill, who was involved in the Russia investigation, opposed it, claiming it would jeopardize her position. This was ironic, given her role in the controversy. Former officials expressed concern not about specific plans but about Trump's unpredictable whims and ideology. There’s significant political corruption at high levels of government, with the administration seemingly prioritizing Trump's personal interests and misusing intelligence and law enforcement authorities. Investigations, like the one into Cash Patel, often rely on anonymous sources, leaving individuals uncertain about their status. My own experience involved a lengthy investigation without my knowledge, only revealed years later through a notification from Google. Most people in the intelligence community and law enforcement are committed to their roles.

The Department of Justice is facing significant concerns, particularly regarding its handling of Donald Trump. Many within the DOJ are apprehensive about his potential return to power, recalling the intense scrutiny and legal battles he faced during his presidency, especially related to the Russia investigation. There’s a perception that the Democrats, through internal conflicts, orchestrated a coup against Biden, leaving him surprised about his political future. The discussion highlights Trump's criticism of the DOJ's National Security Division, which he believes fabricated the Russia allegations. The narrative suggests that dismissing his grievances about the DOJ's actions is unreasonable.

Has anything changed? Should Merrick Garland be fired due to alleged corruption at the DOJ? I don’t believe there’s current corruption, but I worry about future corruption. Some think this is a politicized witch hunt, yet the attorney general should be held accountable. The charges against Hunter Biden seem exaggerated because of his name. But if you were the attorney general, wouldn’t you consider the implications? Let’s consult our legal expert for more insight.

Some Democratic members of Congress are preparing for the possibility of litigation. They're considering if they have the best teams possible to carry out their work. Some Republicans may say that Democrats are weaponizing the Justice Department, citing Trump's trial as an example. But in the United States, we are judged by a jury of our peers. Trump was found guilty in court on 34 felony charges. It's hard to make a partisan argument against that.

Why isn't FBI Director Chris Wray publicly defending his department's actions regarding the January 6th investigation? His resignation implies a lack of apolitical integrity within the FBI, suggesting that each presidential administration dictates priorities, rather than upholding a consistent, unbiased approach. This leaves the impression that wrongdoing occurred. The prioritization of the January 6th investigation over other crucial cases, like those involving child sex trafficking and serial killers, has negatively impacted agents' morale. However, some pushback exists; DC judges, including those appointed by both Republican and Democratic presidents, have openly criticized the Department of Justice's actions, refusing to allow these cases to be dismissed. Their outspokenness provides a counterpoint to the perceived silence from other quarters.

DNI Gabbard released 100 documents proving Hillary Clinton created a dossier. Obama's team was informed and then created a diversion to make it about Trump. The bureaucracy and the swamp must be drained. FBI and DOJ career employees who participated should be fired and prosecuted. The federal government was weaponized against a citizen and political opponent because the American people were not doing what they wanted. There was anecdotal evidence this was happening, and now the receipts have been shown. Prosecutions should begin.

John Ratcliffe is heading to the CIA, and his experience as a former federal prosecutor and congressman makes him a strong choice. He has previously exposed issues within the FBI and DOJ, advocating for accountability in Washington. There's a need for leadership changes in the Department of Defense, which has faced criticism for its handling of recent conflicts and has not passed a budget audit in 16 years. The FBI's political biases have been highlighted, especially regarding their actions during Russiagate and the treatment of Trump associates. There's a call for a return to a fair justice system, emphasizing that if Trump is successful, he can reform these institutions to fulfill their intended roles.

Pam Bondi is considered the best attorney general Donald Trump has had because she litigated away nationwide injunctions, created the legal infrastructure for effective deportations, and targeted criminals and gang networks. Jeff Sessions is blamed for Hillary Clinton not being held accountable, and Bill Barr is blamed for legitimate questions about the 2020 election going uninvestigated. Jeff Rosen allowed MAGA grandmothers to be hunted, while Bondi is hunting MS 13. Cash Patel is resetting the FBI by rounding up actual criminals instead of spying on political opponents, unlike James Comey and Christopher Ray. Any tension that erupts is a consequence of strong voices and deep love of country.

Claims include that "we're not getting the cooperation that we need" from the Department of Justice, where "Pam Bondi sits as the head of it" but "the COO" is "Todd Blanche," whom the speaker says is "failing on all measures." "Because of him, we haven't had a pardon granted since May" and "Because of him, the he wants the j sixers to not be compensated for all that we put them through." He adds, "we're not, getting the things that we need for Dominion machines, etcetera, etcetera." He notes Blanche "used to be until 01/04/2024, he was a Democrat, a registered Democrat" and "then he represented Donald Trump on the Stormy Daniels case that any Democrat would have done the same job," and argues that "everything that needs to be going forward in order to make Donald Trump's presidency work is being stalled intentionally by this man." "It's not because of ineptitude." "This is a smart guy. This is a very capable guy." "It's because he's intentionally, doing things the opposite of what Donald Trump has ordered to be done."

Last week, Kash Patel was confirmed as FBI director, and now Dan Bongino, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and podcaster, has been appointed as his number two. Bongino has zero experience at the FBI, and this deputy director position has always been held by a long-term veteran of the bureau for over a hundred years, because this person has access to sensitive operations, including surveillance and working with our allies' intelligence agencies. Bongino is known for pushing conspiracy theories, like the big lie that Donald Trump won the 2020 election. He's also a COVID disinformation super spreader and a Russia denier. Instead of focusing on fentanyl traffickers, murderers, and violent criminals, he's going to be focused on the political vendettas of Donald Trump, because he doesn't want to move on.

The White House confirmed Letitia James and Fannie Willis visited before suing Trump. Willis appointed her alleged lover to prosecute Trump, paying him $650,000 in taxpayer money. Nathan Wade conspired with the White House, billing them for meetings. Willis also collaborated with Adam Schiff on the January 6th case. Republicans were barred from the committee, which later destroyed evidence. Is the Biden White House orchestrating Trump's prosecution? - Armstrong Williams.

Pam Bondi is the attorney general and a "rock solid constitutionalist." Todd Blanche is the deputy attorney general who runs the day-to-day; he was ostracized for representing President Trump. Chad Mizell is Pam's chief of staff and the acting number three, the acting associate attorney general. Stanley Woodward will be the associate attorney general once confirmed; he is currently counselor to the AG and was Walt Nauta's attorney. The speaker reassured listeners that the DOJ team is on top of things and that criminal indictments are coming. Justice is coming, and there will be accountability for the politicization and weaponization of the Biden Justice Department.

Pam Bondi is lauded as the best Attorney General Donald Trump has had, successfully litigating away judicial injunctions, creating a legal infrastructure for deportations, and targeting criminals and gang networks. Jeff Sessions is blamed for Hillary Clinton evading accountability, while Bill Barr is criticized for not investigating the 2020 election. Jeff Rosen is said to have allowed MAGA grandmothers to be hunted. Cash Patel is praised for resetting the FBI by rounding up actual criminals instead of spying on political opponents, a contrast to James Comey and Christopher Ray during the prior Trump administration. The speaker expresses confidence in the administration's continued work, attributing any tension to strong voices and love of country.

The FBI's politicized hacks aimed to bring down Donald Trump, with the help of Hillary Clinton's campaign. The report revealed that Trump's political opponents provided leads for the investigation, relying on a fabricated dossier. While we reported on this, other media outlets downplayed it. Unfortunately, there were no consequences for those involved in the Crossfire Hurricane operation. In fact, they were emboldened and repeated their actions in 2022, this time protecting Hunter Biden.

I've worked with Matt Gaetz for two years on the judiciary and weaponization committees. He has a brilliant legal mind and is essential for addressing issues within the DOJ. We've uncovered significant evidence of the DOJ and FBI being weaponized against the public, and Gaetz has played a key role in exposing this and holding individuals accountable. This is why he faces attacks and attempts to derail his nomination; they know he will work to eliminate corruption and inefficiency within the DOJ. The handling of the Hunter Biden laptop and the lack of prosecution for his tax evasion illustrate the need for reform. Gaetz is committed to exposing these issues, which is why he is being targeted.
