The speaker discusses the ongoing investigation into former President Trump and expresses concerns about the politicization of the Justice Department. They argue that the department is filled with partisan Democrats and questions the transparency and accountability of the investigations. The speaker highlights the importance of knowing who is working on these investigations and criticizes the department for withholding this information. They mention previous investigations into Special Counsel Mueller's team, which revealed anti-Trump bias. The speaker concludes by stating their intention to sue for the release of the requested information and emphasizes the need for oversight and accountability in upholding the rule of law.

The speaker expresses disappointment in the corruption and rot within the FBI and DOJ, stating that no amount of face paint or whitewashing can fix it. They argue that the accuracy and veracity of various documents and reports were irrelevant to the FBI's identification of Donald Trump as a public enemy. The purpose of the investigation was not to prove Russian collusion, but to destroy Trump's presidency. The speaker believes that this corruption has destroyed America's faith in institutions and eroded the justice system. They question how long the country can survive under a two-tiered system of justice. The witness, Mr. Durham, responds that the nation cannot stand under those circumstances.

It is essential for a prosecutor to begin with a crime rather than targeting an individual. The issue over the past four years has been the perceived targeting of Donald Trump, which began in 2016 with multiple investigations. If appointed attorney general, I will ensure the office remains non-political and will not pursue individuals based on their political affiliations. Justice will be administered fairly across the country. We need to unite and move forward to preserve our nation. Concerns about the potential politicization of the justice department during my tenure are valid, and I assure you that I will maintain independence and uphold the Constitution, even if it means disagreeing with the president.

The attorney general defends the integrity of the Justice Department, stating that claims of unequal treatment are false. He emphasizes that cases are decided based on facts and the law, and that the department is essential to American democracy and safety. The attorney general praises the FBI, DEA, TF, and deputy US marshals for their daily efforts in protecting and securing the American people. He expresses pride in working with them.

To address the climate crisis, there was a question about the Hunter Biden investigation. The inquiry focused on whether the administration has sought or received favorable treatment from the Department of Justice regarding any investigations involving the president, his administration, family, or former President Trump. The response emphasized that the Department of Justice operates independently and that the president respects the rule of law, a principle he has upheld since before taking office.

The speaker states that they have not interfered with the Hunter Biden investigation, and there has been no political interference. They cannot comment on whether Joe Biden is being investigated or if the Department of Justice (DOJ) said he is off-limits. The speaker refers to the ongoing investigation led by special counsel Weiss and mentions a long-standing policy. They emphasize the FBI's responsibility to remain non-partisan and deny opening an investigation into the attorney general. The speaker avoids discussing whether the FBI tipped off Hunter Biden's lawyer before executing a search warrant on a storage unit. They conclude by stating that the FBI is not accountable to Congress or the American people.

The speaker expresses concern about the increasing politicization of the DOJ and FBI, stating that it has led to a dangerous accumulation of power. They assert that this cycle of power and politics needs to be halted. The speaker then accuses Christopher Wray and Mary Garland, the leaders of the FBI and DOJ respectively, of corruption, claiming that this is a widely known fact among the American people.

Jeffrey Epstein’s parent suicide is referenced, with the claim that he “definitely killed himself,” alongside a demand to know more. The discussion then shifts to government accountability, arguing that the way government is functioning is not as it should be and that similar events can happen to anyone “hundreds and thousands of times every day.” Prosecutors are described as having “absolute discretion and absolute immunity” to go after whoever they want, raising the question of why the public cannot know the reasons behind such decisions. One speaker says there is “no secret plan happening behind the scenes,” presenting the situation as the reality itself. They then address the message to President Trump, stating agreement that President Trump does not “care” is not believed. Speaker 1 directly appeals to President Trump: “the next Attorney General needs to be an outsider.” The conversation also asks how many people have been fired in the DOJ due to being directly connected to “weaponization,” and whether there were things witnessed inside courtrooms—specifically involving judges or prosecutors—that might shock people by revealing “this is what was going on.” The exchange ends with concern about time: “Everybody needs to know,” and the claim that the speaker is coming out and doing this because they are “afraid.”

The speaker expresses concern about the threat posed to the republican form of government by the Justice Department's transformation into a political police force. They also mention the involvement of the FBI and how this undermines the integrity of elections, specifically the 2024 election. The speaker believes that even if the situation is resolved, the indictment itself is a smear and has compromised the election.

The speaker expresses disappointment in the politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the leadership of the person being addressed. They criticize the DOJ for conducting biased investigations, disregarding the First Amendment, and using the department as a weapon against political rivals. The speaker holds the person accountable for labeling parents as domestic terrorists and targeting Roman Catholic churches. They also highlight the DOJ's failure to address threats against conservatives while punishing protestors and attacks on pro-life centers. The speaker blames the person in charge for the decline in trust in federal law enforcement and the political weaponization of the DOJ.

I'm frustrated with Merrick Garland using the Department of Justice for political purposes instead of impartially enforcing the law. It's time to stop complaining and take action. I'm announcing that I will hold all Department of Justice nominees accountable, because Garland will use them to harass political opponents. We need to halt this department until Garland promises to do his job and stop targeting political adversaries. Donald Trump is just one example. We've seen Catholic fathers harassed for pro-life activism, while violent criminals walk free after the 2020 riots. Harassing Christian parents while letting criminals go is pure politics, not justice. Let's slow down this department until Garland changes course and does his job correctly.

I am deeply troubled by your responses today. You need to acknowledge that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. You avoided answering that question when asked by Senator Durbin. Additionally, you should clearly state that those involved in the January 6th insurrection who committed violence should not be pardoned. I don’t have to say what you want me to say. I speak the truth and won’t say anything just to gain confirmation. I will answer questions to the best of my ability.

Speaker 1 questions the FBI's role, asking if their job is to defend Joe Biden or protect the country and uphold the constitution. Speaker 0 clarifies that the FBI's job is to protect the country, keep people safe, and uphold the constitution objectively. Speaker 1 accuses the FBI of being politicized and weaponizing the agency against the American people. Speaker 0 disagrees, stating that there are good people in the FBI and defends their actions. Speaker 1 questions why certain information was redacted, but Speaker 0 explains that redactions are made to protect sources. Speaker 1 expresses the need for transparency to address the perception of politicization.

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.

Ms. Monica, the number 2 person in the Department of Justice, is questioned about the partisan nature of the department and its failure to enforce certain criminal statutes. Specifically, the speaker focuses on 18 USC 1507, which prohibits influencing judges through picketing or parading near their residences. The speaker accuses the DOJ of not prosecuting violations of this statute, despite numerous protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes. Ms. Monica denies this claim, stating that the attorney general has directed the US Marshals Service to enforce all federal laws and prioritize the safety of the justices. The speaker argues that a written presentation contradicts this, emphasizing that the goal is to avoid arrests and prosecutions. Ms. Monica disagrees with this interpretation.

The Justice Department is vital to democracy, ensuring investigations are fair and free from political influence. Protecting sensitive investigations is crucial. Despite attacks, we remain committed to following the law. The pace of justice system trials is out of our control. Thank you, everyone.

The speaker emphasizes that the Department of Justice should not be politicized. This stance has been consistently expressed by the president during the campaign and throughout his time in the White House.

The speaker expresses concern about Americans being afraid of prosecution by the Department of Justice. They mention the events of January 6th and question why the debate wasn't stopped when people broke into the Capitol. The speaker also criticizes the handling of investigations, particularly regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. They express frustration with the lack of accountability and raise concerns about corruption and foreign influence. The speaker asks the Attorney General if they believe only US citizens should vote in elections. The Attorney General responds affirmatively.

"No matter the threats, I'm not backing down." "It is sad, telling, and downright dangerous that simply stating a bedrock principle of American law caused the president, our commander in chief, to threaten violence against me and to weaponize the Department of Justice against me." "I served at the Department of Justice." "I know that federal prosecutors have more control over the life and liberty of the American people than any other peacetime force." "I know that when these powers are used for good, they make us the more perfect union." "And I know that when these awesome powers are abused, when they are used to punish political opponents, to seek retribution, to do a president's personal bidding, there's nothing more dangerous in this country." "My message is clear. I took an oath to this constitution, and I intend to keep it." "I will never give up the ship."

Speaker 1 notes that there are thousands of ongoing investigations and prosecutions in the country, and that some involve people and entities the president has previously criticized and believes should be investigated. He says this is not pressure and will not keep him up at night, except to ensure every case is investigated to the fullest extent of the law using all available resources. Regarding weaponization, he argues that it has become a contested word, but says it means nothing to him because it is “completely false.” He contends that for four years, some in the room witnessed weaponization of the department like never before, with a president indicted four times by the department, and with the department assisting two local district attorneys in going after the president. He also asserts the department stood idly by while states tried to keep President Trump off the ballot. He emphasizes that the past four years saw this pattern, and insists that today’s department is changing, not pursuing political enemies but pursuing justice as the president has repeatedly said he wants. He acknowledges the ongoing media narrative about weaponization but rejects it, stating it happens not to be true. He emphasizes that tens of thousands of prosecutors across the country are putting bad guys in jail, something that, in his view, did not happen as it should have in the past four years. He concludes by reiterating his commitment to continue this work, saying it will happen tomorrow and in the coming days.

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

The uproar over the anti-Trump partisan Mueller operation suggests that the Garland Justice Department may be hiding something. Special prosecutor Jack Smith and his team are targeting Trump and other Republicans with unprecedented investigations. It is important for Smith to be held accountable and for transparency to be maintained. The American people deserve to know the truth.

The speaker, who immigrated from Ukraine, expresses concern about Americans being afraid of prosecution by the Department of Justice. They mention the events of January 6th and question why the debate wasn't stopped when people broke into the Capitol. The speaker also criticizes the department's handling of investigations, particularly regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. They express frustration and concern about corruption and foreign influence in the country. Finally, they ask the attorney general about ensuring that only eligible US citizens can vote in elections. The attorney general responds affirmatively.

A prosecutor should begin with a crime and then seek a name, not the other way around. The issue over the past four years has been the targeting of Donald Trump, starting from his 2016 campaign, leading to numerous investigations against him. As attorney general, I will not politicize the office or target individuals based on political affiliation. Justice will be applied fairly across the country. We need to unite and move forward; otherwise, we risk losing our country.

The speaker reflects on a message from Maureen about justice and the Justice Department's "reservoir of trust and credibility," a gift given to every employee. This credibility allows them to be seen as impartial, "just trying to do the right thing," rather than as partisan figures. The speaker warns that this reservoir is in "grave danger" due to Trump and his allies who are trying to turn the Justice Department into a "Trump subsidiary." The speaker urges good people within the department to have courage and "do the right thing always," even if it means being fired. The speaker concludes by expressing faith in those within the department committed to the rule of law.
