President Trump in fact they didn’t even wait one day the next day the phone call between President Trump and president zielinski became the basis for their impeachment Republicans said maybe instead of the never-ending attacks on President Trump maybe the country would be better off if we figured out how the
Whole false Trump Russian narrative started after two and a half years of the Mueller investigation 19 lawyers 40 agents 30 million dollars where they found nothing maybe we should figure out how the whole lie started that’s exactly what Mr Durham has done in his report he told us how the dossier
Was funded he told us who eager the FBI was to use it how they put the dossier in a fisa Draft application just two days after receiving it he told us that not one not one single substantive allegation the dossier was ever corroborated ever validated yet it was used
To spy on an American citizen associated with the presidential campaign he told us there was no proper predicate for opening the crossfire hurricane investigation maybe most importantly he told us the FBI the FBI the preeminent law enforcement agency in the world failed failed in its fundamental mission of adherence to the
Rule of law and unfortunately I think once again the Democrats will say we don’t care it doesn’t matter we’re never going to stop going after president Trump in fact eight days ago we saw how far they are willing to go with the indictment of President Trump but frankly this shouldn’t surprise us
They told us their objective in fact it was an agent on the case of Crossfire hurricane who told us what their objective was we all remember the text message from Peter strzok where he said don’t worry we’ll stop Trump it started with the crossfire hurricane investigation
Mr Durham has told us how wrong that was now we have an indictment of a former president who’s winning in every single poll by his opponent’s justice department and in between those two events we had the Mueller investigation we had impeachment we had 51 former Intel officials falsely falsely tell us the
Biden laptop was Russian disinformation we had a raid on President Trump’s home and of course we got Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous case in New York seven years nothing has changed don’t believe me we interviewed Stephen dantuano former head of the Washington field office when the Trump classified document case began Mr dantuano told the
Committee interviewed him just two weeks ago two weeks ago today Mr Denton told the committee that when he asked the Department of Justice why is there new no U.S attorney assigned to the Trump classified document case headquarters said because we’re running it he suggested the Miami Field office
Should do the raid instead of sending the folks from Washington field office down to Miami how the folks in in the Miami Field office do it headquarters said no he suggested there shouldn’t be a raid instead they should continue to work with President Trump’s lawyers once again headquarters said no Mr
Dantuano even said how about when we get there When we arrive at president Trump’s home we then call his lawyer and we do the search together again headquarters said no another interesting fact the lawyer who turned down Mr dantuano’s request happens to be the same person who is
Alleged to have pressured the attorney representing a trump employee about a judgeship nothing has changed and frankly they’re never going to stop seven years of attacking Trump is scary enough but what’s more frightening any one of us could be next in fact it’s already started parents at school board meetings are
Terrorists pro-life Catholics are extremist even journalists aren’t safe Federal Trade Commission 13 letters one of those letters to Twitter said who are the journalists you’re talking to think about that they name four people personally two come and testify in front of this committee while they’re in front of this committee
Democrats are asking them to reveal their sources violate First Amendment principles one of them Matt taibi while he’s sitting at that table testifying to the Judiciary Committee the IRS is knocking on his door parents Catholics journalists but guess who gets it the worst guess who gets it the worst
Whistleblowers if you dare come forward and tell Congress what’s going on look out they will come for you they will take your clearance they will take your pay they’ll even take your kids clothes just ask Garrett O’Boyle who testified in front of this committee as well
Over the next few hours we’re going to hear the facts and details about the whole false Trump Russian narrative the crossfire hurricane investigation and hopefully hopefully it will help change things at the Department of Justice but regardless of what the Biden Administration and the Garland justice department do
I know what Republicans in the house are committed to doing we will work to dramatically change the fisa law and we will do everything we can in the appropriation process to stop the federal government from going after the American people now recognize the ranking member for an opening statement
