New details suggest that the CIA, under Obama's administration, targeted Trump and initiated the Russia investigation. Former CIA director John Brennan identified 26 Trump associates to be monitored by the 5 Eyes Intelligence Alliance, and the FBI then targeted these individuals as suspicious. This led to the launch of the Russia collusion investigation. The operation's details were kept in a top-secret binder, which Trump has ordered to be declassified. There are rumors that the binder may be missing.

There is ample evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, with significant findings in the public domain. The president and his associates may be compromised by foreign powers, and there are persistent allegations of Russian money laundering through the Trump organization. While there is direct evidence of deception, it's important to note that there is no hard evidence of collusion at this moment. Circumstantial evidence exists, and it can be powerful. The Trump campaign welcomed Russian assistance, incorporated it into their strategy, and failed to report it, while also being deceptive about their actions. There is more than just circumstantial evidence, but specifics cannot be disclosed.

Putin is considered one of the richest and most evil people in the world. There are suspicions about what he has on Trump, leading to concerns about Trump's loyalty to Putin. The focus is on Trump's lack of criticism towards Putin and his actions, which are seen as a betrayal of his oath and values. Financial leverage is speculated as a possible reason for Trump's behavior.

Speaker 0 expresses frustration with a life of endless work for low pay, returning home to drown troubles, and a sense of disappointment with the world. He laments living in the new world with an old soul, wishes politicians would look out for minors, and criticizes blackmail and the way money is obtained. Speaker 1 discusses a claim: she states to the justice department that she was part of the beginning process of the Clinton Global Initiative and believes Jeffrey Epstein actually funded the Clinton Global Initiative, with them developing the idea together on a trip to Davos. He notes this aligns with the start of the Clinton Foundation in 2002, when Epstein was personally flying President Clinton around Africa as an aerial chauffeur on multiple trips. He asserts that this period marked Epstein’s proximity to power as Clinton Foundation preparations were underway. He argues that the Clinton Foundation engaged in pay-to-play while Hillary Clinton rose in New York Senate politics and later became secretary of state, enabling foreign policy to be influenced by donors and major corporations. The claim is that U.S. foreign policy was effectively shaped by the state department, defense, CIA, and USAID to benefit those who funded the Clintons, in contrast to national interest. He presents Epstein as a money bundler, a deal maker, and part of the origins of the Clinton Foundation’s influence machine. He adds that the Justice Department shut down three FBI investigations into the Clinton Foundation and the IRS investigation as well, with the IRS claiming lack of resources to pursue the case, implying political cronyism and large-scale fraud that allegedly could not be prosecuted. Speaker 2 recounts a first-person experience at Wexner’s residence. He mentions having a driver’s license and being given Jeffrey Epstein’s SUV, but notes there were sharpshooters around. He describes a basement area that wasn’t on the lower floor, featuring a huge sauna, a vault, and an underground tunnel. The tunnel’s existence was confirmed by their maid, who explained that the door led to the main house, revealing the tunnel connecting underground passages. Overall, the transcript juxtaposes personal disillusionment with systemic allegations about the Clinton Foundation and Epstein’s role in its origins, alongside a vivid, confessional account of a private residence with security measures and secret tunnels.

Speaker 0: Did you see evidence of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between Donald Trump and Russian state actors? Speaker 1: I saw information intelligence that was worthy of investigation by the bureau to determine whether or not such cooperation of conclusion was taking place. Speaker 0: That doesn't help us a lot. What was the nature of the information? Speaker 1: As I said, mister Gowdy, I think this committee now has access to the type of information that I'm alluding to here. It's classified and I'm happy to talk about it in classified session. Speaker 0: And that would have been directly between the candidate and Russian state actors? Speaker 1: That's not what I said. I'm not going to talk about any individual's But Speaker 0: that was my question.

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 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.

The FBI investigated Donald Trump due to concerns about his ties to Russia, based on observable facts indicating a potential threat to national security and the possibility of a crime. The decision to investigate was made because the FBI is obligated to open a case when there's an articulable basis to believe a threat exists, regardless of the subject's position. Contributing factors included Trump publicly undermining the investigation, referring to it as a hoax, and the intelligence community's assessment of Russian support for his campaign. By May 2017, there were ample facts suggesting potential obstruction of justice. The speaker couldn't explain Trump's repeated leaning towards the Russians and defense of Vladimir Putin, but noted that his actions and words were concerning. The investigation grappled with a president who may have committed a federal crime and posed a national security risk. The national security risk related to the counterintelligence case, specifically Trump's potential obstruction of justice to negatively impact the investigation into Russian interference and potential connections with his campaign.

In 2014-2016, Russians hacked the DNC and weaponized social media. In 2015, Felix Sater allegedly approached Michael Cohen about building a Trump Tower in Moscow to get Trump and Putin together and "make our boy president." There were approaches to get Trump and Putin together and to preview hacked emails about Hillary Clinton, including an offer to George Papadopoulos. Trump publicly invited Russia to hack more. The speaker argues this invitation is part of the evidence, while acknowledging Trump isn't the "smartest guy." The speaker also points to Trump's admission to Lester Holt as obstruction of justice. The speaker states there is enough evidence to continue looking into conspiracy to defraud the US, complicated by obstruction. Countering claims of Trump being pro-Russia, the speaker notes actions against Russian interests, such as sending Javelin missiles to Ukraine, opening domestic oil production, killing Russians in Syria, and bombing Assad's government. The speaker also cites "consciousness of guilt evidence" like lies about the June 9 meeting.

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.

Michael Cohen, who pleaded guilty to crimes including campaign finance violations and lying to investigators, stated that the President "doesn't tell the truth." An outside observer stated that fact checkers have noted the President's statements and tweets have a "very distant relationship with the truth," and that Cohen's statements reinforce the notion that the President is not truthful. The observer added that Cohen's close association with the President for over ten years as his personal attorney is "pretty devastating." It was stated that while it may not be a crime to lie to the public, from an intelligence and foreign policy perspective, lying matters. It was claimed that Russia knew about the President's alleged untruthfulness regarding financial connections to Russia and Cohen's lies to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow deal. It was asserted that this gives Russia potential leverage over the President, as they are "notorious" for using compromising materials. It was also claimed that while all presidents have distorted the truth at times, it has never been on this scale.

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.

What’s in the rules is that you shouldn’t prejudice an investigation when declining to prosecute. You included language that would be politically useful, which was a deliberate choice. You could have simply stated that the president did not recall the documents found at the university, a common response from witnesses. This choice was political and inappropriate. I yield back. Did the special counsel wish to respond? What you’re suggesting is that I altered my reasoning for political reasons. No, I suggest you shouldn’t shape your report for political reasons. That did not happen.

The speaker wants the FBI to investigate Donald Trump's financial, personal, and political connections to Russia. They want to see Trump's tax returns to understand the relationship between him and Putin, whom Trump admires.

- 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.

There is significant evidence, much of it in the public domain on the issue of collusion. There is evidence that is not circumstantial. There is circumstantial evidence certainly of collusion or coordination. We're also looking at persistent allegations that the Russians have been laundering money through the Trump organization. The president once said, "the Saudis are spending tens of millions of dollars on my Trump Towers and buying apartments from me." "Okay. So they murdered journalists, but please, they buy apartments from me." That could be part of a broad conspiracy. He is acting like a person who is compromised. Mueller: "the biggest news... there are no new indictments for that underlying any cooperation conspiracy with the Russians to interfere in our elections." On Ukraine: "The favor is to investigate his political rival, to investigate the Bidens." "Don't call me again. I'll call you when you've done what I've asked." This is how a mafia boss talks. Trump could offer Alaska to the Russians in exchange for support in the next election. "I've never met the whistleblower." "I should have been much more clear about that." We wanted to bring the whistleblower in at that time, but I should have been much more clear about that. Members of congress need to uphold the truth as well, and we need to attack the problem of dissemination of lies through social media.

The discussion revolves around the investigation into Joseph Mifsud's role in the Russia probe. Questions are raised about the failure to locate and interview Mifsud, as well as the lack of charges against him. Criticisms are directed at the handling of the investigation, with concerns about the thoroughness of the probe and the focus on certain individuals. The witness defends the investigation, highlighting the challenges of gathering evidence within legal boundaries. The conversation also touches on issues like the wiping of phones by the Mueller team and the lack of accountability for certain individuals involved in the probe.

You continuously discussed the Russia investigation as if it were undeniable truth, leading viewers to believe in a conspiracy between Trump and Putin in 2016, which was completely false. President Trump has taken significant steps to keep his meetings with Putin secret, even from his own administration. When asked if he ever worked for Russia, he found the question insulting and did not provide a direct answer. This situation raises concerns about whether the President has acted against American interests.

Discussion centers on a claim from a book that "the president is compromised by the Russians," citing "the way he talked to Lavrov and Kislyag in the Oval Office" and "the whole issue of Comey's firing, what he said to Lester Holt," with the assertion that "there was no proof established by the Mueller investigation." Speaker 1 counters: "that's not quite true, Andrea. I think the Mueller investigation said that they were unable to prove to a legal standard or bring criminal charges that something had occurred. But they point throughout the report to a variety of deep counterintelligence concerns." He cites "the recent bipartisan senate intelligence committee report, almost a thousand pages from a Republican led senate committee laying out all these counterintelligence concerns," and says "the data is too great to ignore." He concludes: "So, yes, I believe that the president is compromised by the Russians," asserting it "comes from financial entanglements that he is fighting to become known, that the Russians know about and can hold over him," and "from the way they're able to play into his ego and his strange fascination and coziness with dictators and authoritarians around the world." Speaker 0 adds: "Now I remember talking in 2017, the 2017, to a form"

There are multiple investigations into President Trump, including his tax returns, inaugural committee, Trump organization, and Russian influence in the campaign. The House Intelligence Committee, led by Chairman Adam Schiff, plays a central role in these investigations. Schiff states that the Russians offered, the campaign accepted, and the president utilized their help, which is concerning. He also highlights the numerous false statements made by the president regarding Russia. While Bob Mueller did not find criminal conspiracy, he did not address collusion. Schiff expresses alarm over the recent attack on the Capitol and requests a damage assessment and briefing from the intelligence community.

Hillary Clinton paid for a server linked to Ukraine. The FBI didn't get the server from DNC, giving it to a Ukrainian company instead. President questions why this happened, suspecting corruption. He wants to know why millions are given to corrupt countries.

Speaker 0: By a member of the Ukrainian parliament. Let's talk about the tape recording evidence. Speaker 1: We don't know. Yeah. We don't know much about it because it's floating around Ukraine, but we do know the general prosecutor of Ukraine, our equivalent of the attorney general, came on our show this morning and said the following. There's enough evidence for me to open up a criminal investigation into the illicit effort by a Ukrainian to try to influence the United States election in favor of Hillary Clinton. That's a profound statement coming from the top law enforcement official of Ukraine. Why is it important? There's a court in Ukraine that's already concluded that, Ukrainian officials leaked Paul Manafort's financial records to try to sway the US election. You haven't heard anything about that in the American press, but that ruling occurred recently. Then a parliamentary member comes out and says, I have a tape of these law enforcement officials saying they did it specifically to help Hillary Clinton. That becomes the foundation of the Ukrainian investigation. Speaker 0: You have talked to people that have heard this tape. Correct? Speaker 1: Well, the, the prosecutor himself has heard the tape and said it was important enough, good enough evidence to warrant opening the investigation. So the tape, the court ruling, the top prosecutor in Ukraine says there was a foreign power Speaker 0: Two separate issues here. Number one Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 0: Did Ukrainian officials offered us evidence that, in fact, they were involved in election interference in 2016 to help Hillary Clinton's campaign? But why didn't anybody in in the media pursue the interference story? And I thought they cared about interference, but, obviously, only if it's Russian interference and Trump because we know they don't care about the dirty Russian dossier. Speaker 1: That's right. Keep in mind that just a few months ago, Sean, we reported on your on your show and inside the hill that Ukraine's embassy in Washington confirmed on the record that back in 2016, the Democratic National Committee trying to help Hillary Clinton get elected asked the Ukraine Embassy to help interfere in the election by doing two things, dig up dirt on Paul Manafort and have Ukraine's president make a kerfuffle here in Washington about Manafort and Trump when he came to visit. Now the Ukrainians say they they rebuffed that attempt, but Hillary Clinton's campaign, the DNC, made that request according to the, Ukraine embassy in

Ivanka Trump was put in Putin's chair, leading to speculation about the speaker's relationship with Putin. The speaker explains that they have worked in Russia and have connections with wealthy business people there. They claim that with a few phone calls, they could potentially have access to Putin. They clarify that their intention is to propose building the tallest building in Europe in Moscow, which they believe would benefit Russia financially and reputation-wise. The speaker also addresses questions about Trump's business dealings with Russian buyers, stating that the money came from US banks and the lawyers involved were from major US law firms. The responsibility for knowing where the money comes from lies with the lawyer, the bank, and the real estate developer.

Revelations involving Michael Cohen raise serious questions about the president's legal exposure. The speaker says the president is nervous as time runs out to 'hold himself above the law.' The claim that 'the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians in trying to subvert the election' is highlighted, with Manafort and Trump Jr. meeting Russian agents who offered dirt on Hillary as part of the Russian government's attempt to help them, and 'it's clear that the campaign colluded.' Two developments are noted: 'the president's personal attorney lied to congress, but about the fact that he was personally involved on behalf of the president in arranging business deals with the Russians during the campaign.' And 'the president's campaign manager was involved with communicating with WikiLeaks during the 2016, at the time, you know, well before they served as a conduit to release the the emails that that the Russians'
