The conversation revolves around the investigation into Joseph Mifsud and the FBI's handling of the situation. Questions are raised about the efforts to locate Mifsud, the lack of subpoenas, and the investigation's focus. Criticisms are made regarding the FBI's actions, the Mueller team's phone wiping, and the overall accountability in the investigation. The witness defends the investigation's sincerity, while the questioning suggests a lack of thoroughness and accountability in pursuing key individuals and issues. The conversation ends with tensions over the perceived shortcomings in the investigation.

The speaker questions the witness about the FBI's history of violating people's rights, including fraud in forensic testimony, improper searches of US officials, and spying on activists. The witness claims to be unaware of these incidents and dismisses them as irrelevant. The speaker argues that the witness's initial reaction to the allegations against the FBI was biased and asks if she could have investigated the matter further. The witness defends her belief in a broad conspiracy involving multiple agencies but admits to not conducting any investigation.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of searches of Americans' private communications are conducted without a warrant. This violates citizens' constitutional rights. The FBI claims they will fix the problem internally, but the number of illegal searches keeps increasing. It seems like the FBI only wants to avoid getting caught.

The speaker admits to reporting the attorney general to the FBI without evidence of any criminal activity. When questioned about this, the speaker avoids directly answering and instead emphasizes their "good faith belief" that a crime had occurred. They also claim to have not collected any evidence after making the complaint. The questioning becomes tense as the speaker is repeatedly asked if they had any evidence to support their claims, but they continue to evade a direct answer.

A woman was shown a picture that resembled her and joked about it. Later, two FBI agents visited her workplace, asking about her whereabouts on January 6th. They threatened her boss with prison time for covering for her. The speaker questions if there is any court order allowing the monitoring of American citizens' text messages. The response mentions court orders authorizing search warrants and surveillance. The speaker emphasizes that search warrants should specify what is being searched or seized, but this is not happening. They express concern about the use of software to target individuals who haven't committed crimes. Another speaker discusses the rise of dangerous extremists and their involvement in acts of violence, including the January 6th insurrection. They inquire about the Department of Justice's efforts to address this threat.

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.

The speaker criticizes the FBI's actions in the Trump case, describing them as alarming and lacking in reason and explanation. They highlight numerous failures and shortcomings, such as ignoring evidence, not following leads, and failing to correct errors. The speaker also questions the lack of interviews with key individuals and suggests a cover-up. They mention the involvement of Russian intelligence and the mishandling of information. The speaker concludes by asking if justice has been served. The other speaker responds vaguely, and the conversation moves on to discuss specific instances of misconduct by the FBI.

The speaker discusses the FBI's investigation into a person accused of espionage. The FBI mistakenly believed that the person had left the country, but he was actually living in DC. Despite this, the FBI hired him and paid him over $200,000, even though they knew he was a Russian spy. The speaker also mentions another individual, Charles Dolan, who was a source for the false dossier used to spy on American citizens. Dolan and the Russian spy even met on a park bench, but the FBI refused to interview Dolan. The speaker criticizes the FBI's actions and highlights the problem of running investigations from headquarters instead of assigning a US attorney.

The speaker discusses the 3.4 million backdoor sources mentioned by the ranking member. They express concern about the high volume of searches and the reported error rate of around 30%. They question how many people are capable of performing these searches and suggest incorporating safeguards, such as FISA court review, to protect Americans. The speaker mentions the possibility of over 10,000 people in the federal government who can perform these queries.

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….”

Speaker 0 raises a series of pointed questions and concerns about FBI and government actions surrounding the monitoring and reporting of online activity and potential threats, urging a demand for answers: - Why did the FBI present only early pro-Trump posts and hide the anti-Trump phase? Two answers are implied: under Biden, the existence of a narrative, and a need to ask who was involved in that decision and why it happened. - After the election, why did the FBI continue to toe that line, and who made that decision? - The speaker notes that authorities are monitoring people who ask how to build bombs or evade assassination scenes, and asks how such monitoring relates to successful assassinations and the future locations of political actors; suggests an algorithmic tie and notification so someone is watching. - Why did they ignore Crooks’s really unbelievable threats? Why were ordinary Americans arrested for memes, while Crooks’s behavior appeared to be ignored? - Why did intelligence agencies monitoring extremism miss a kid openly fantasizing about assassinations, who connected with a Swedish individual allegedly part of a large Nazi movement in Sweden? - Why was the scene cleaned prematurely? Why did every digital trace of his political shift get kept out of public discussion? Why did authorities claim he had almost no footprint when, in fact, the footprint seemed large but scrubbed? - The speaker notes a pattern: every single mistake by the FBI and government seems to point toward ignorance, negligence, hiding inconvenient data, and shaping a political narrative; questions whether the pattern indicates incompetence or intentional action. - Is this incompetence or something more problematic? The speaker says they aren’t asserting a conspiracy but emphasize something feels wrong and that the official story is hard to believe. They ask why the government that supposedly monitors everything would become blind, deaf, and mute when a presidential assassin emerges on their radar. - The question is posed non-partisan: under different presidents, why would the narrative stay the same if the government can see everything? What does that imply about the FBI, DOJ, and CIA—whether they are lying, incompetent, or selectively monitoring—since any of these possibilities should be unsettling. - The FBI and mainstream media, including MSNBC, are said to have referenced leaks from Crooks’s social media indicating pro-Trump and anti-immigration stances, while being described as having almost no online footprint; Crooks reportedly had Discord, Snapchat, and an active YouTube presence, with violent 2019 YouTube comments about decapitating government officials, followed by a shift. - The speaker asserts the iceberg is deep and suggests a broader pattern of concerns about oversight, control, and the potential overreach or misalignment of intelligence agencies, with a friend claiming the CIA may be completely out of control and implying limits to accountability, while noting it could extend beyond the CIA. Overall, the remarks center on questioning the completeness, transparency, and motivation behind FBI monitoring, narrative shaping, data handling, and the handling of Crooks’s threats and online footprint, while expressing concern about systemic issues within intelligence agencies.

The speaker discusses the 3.4 million backdoor sources mentioned by the ranking member. They express concern about the high volume of searches and the reported error rate of around 30%. They question how many people are capable of performing these searches and suggest incorporating safeguards, such as FISA court review, to protect Americans. The speaker mentions the possibility of over 10,000 people in the federal government who can perform these queries.

The speaker questions the FBI's practice of tipping off the subject of a search warrant before it is executed. They inquire about the FBI's contact with the protective detail of individuals and the potential undermining of investigations. The speaker expresses frustration with the lack of answers and accuses the FBI of a cover-up. Director Wray requests a 5-minute recess. The speaker acknowledges the frustration but explains that policies prevent discussing ongoing investigations. They mention that these policies were strengthened under the previous administration. The speaker concludes by stating that there is an obligation to call out corruption.

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.

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.

Speaker 0 expresses distrust in the speaker's claims of new procedures and policies, citing a lack of transparency and accountability. They question the firing and security clearance stripping of those who violated civil rights. Speaker 0 highlights the high number of searches conducted by the FBI in 2022, with only a small fraction resulting in evidence of a crime. They ask specific yes or no questions about certain queries, to which Speaker 1 provides evasive answers. Speaker 0 criticizes the FBI for ignoring court order requirements and argues for the importance of constitutional protections. Speaker 1 defends the reforms and constitutionality of Section 702, but Speaker 0 dismisses these arguments.

Yesterday's House vote wasn't directly on FISA or warrant requirements for surveilling Americans, but on bringing the issue before Congress, which failed. This is unfortunate because FISA will likely return without the warrant requirement. Section 702 of FISA has been chronically misused. A 2021 Inspector General report revealed roughly a third of 3.4 million database queries violated rules. There are a minimum of 10,000 people with access to this database, with many unknown entry points. No one has been held accountable. Problems disclosed in a 2017 FISA court report were supposedly addressed, but the 2021 Horowitz report showed problems have exponentially increased. I don't believe any reform can fix the structural problems with FISA. The intelligence community refuses warrants for surveilling Americans while Congress wants notification if they're surveilled, highlighting a broken system.

Speaker 0: We have a problem with the CIA and FBI in Washington. Speaker 1: What's your plan to start over and fix them? Speaker 0: They've gotten out of control, with weaponization and other issues. The people need to bring about change. We were making progress, but more needs to be done.

The FBI misused a surveillance tool on Americans over 278,000 times in 2020-2021. The tool was used on those connected to civil unrest, the Capitol attack, and political donors. Officials urge Congress to renew the tool, set to expire in December. Bipartisan concern in Congress, with Rep. Nadler opposing renewal without significant changes. FBI made changes after conducting 204,000 queries, a 94% drop. Director Wray calls the misuse "completely unacceptable." This adds to a tough week for the FBI following the Durham report and whistleblowers.

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.

Speaker 0 questions if anyone has been held accountable for lying to the FISA court for the Carter Page warrant. Speaker 1 mentions an ongoing disciplinary process. Speaker 0 expresses concern about reauthorizing extraordinary authorities due to the agency's history of abuses and concealing information about allegations against the president. Speaker 1 tries to shift the focus to reforms, but Speaker 0 insists on discussing the reauthorization of section 702, highlighting the agency's track record of abuse, illegal surveillance, and political targeting.

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.

The speaker expresses concern about the politicization and weaponization of the justice system, specifically regarding the FISA process. They highlight how the FISA court found that the FBI illegally used FISA 275,000 times against Americans, including cases related to January 6th. The speaker criticizes Congress for reauthorizing FISA and argues that it has been turned inward, targeting Americans and groups associated with January 6th. They suggest that Congress should have implemented reforms to prevent abuse of power. The speaker also criticizes FBI Director Christopher Wray for not effectively addressing the issue and accuses the Republican leadership of rewarding the FBI for breaking the law and interfering in elections, particularly against Donald Trump.

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.

The speaker expresses concerns about the weaponization of government and the DOJ's approval rating. They question the Department of Justice about acquiring geolocation data and specific analyses done with that data. The speaker asks if the DOJ obtained geolocation data from external sources or bought it. The attorney general mentions that the data was obtained through subpoenas issued to telephone companies. The speaker then brings up Durham's report, which called the FBI's activities sobering, and asks if it worries the attorney general. The attorney general mentions that Durham thanked him for not interfering with the investigation and acknowledges the report's criticisms. The speaker asks if questioning an election is a crime in the US, to which the attorney general responds that it is not. The speaker concludes by expressing concerns about the trustworthiness of the American people and Congress.
