| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
| MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| Do you believe that? Because there is. | ||
| That has got to change, and I don't think more training, more rules is going to do it. | ||
| I think we have to fundamentally change the FISA process, and we have to use the appropriations process to limit how American tax dollars are spent at the Department of Justice. | ||
|

|
I yield back. The gentlelady from Texas has recognized Ms. | |
| Jackson Lee. Good morning. | ||
| Good morning. You value the independence of a special counsel, do you not? | ||
| Let's keep the shot on there. You don't need to bring it to me. | ||
| It's Wednesday, 21 June, Year of the Lord, 2023. | ||
| And what you're seeing right there is a committee here in this judiciary has Durham. | ||
| So all you Durham folks that for years are saying, oh, Bannon, why don't you say Durham's not going to, you know, he's not going to indict 50 people when you get to the bottom of it. | ||
| Nope. That would be incorrect. | ||
| I told you nothing was going to happen. | ||
| I told you for years nothing was going to happen. | ||
| And the reason, hey, I spent millions of dollars of my own in the Star Chamber of Mueller, of the Star Chamber of Shifty Shift, and Eric Swalwell, when Paul Ryan turned the committee over to the House Intel, and of course, Senate Intel. | ||
| So I've got the scars to show that Durham was never going to do anything. | ||
| And so right now we're going to see a judiciary. | ||
| Matt Gaetz is having a star turn. | ||
| That's a live Judiciary Committee hearing, and we're going to get back to it. | ||
| Okay, you can come to me now. | ||
| Thank you. I'd like this. | ||
| I'd direct the show or produce the show. | ||
| I'm just kidding. We've got a very special guest, Congressman Boebert, and you have limited time because you have a lot of obligations and responsibilities today. | ||
| Quite controversial from yesterday. | ||
| Heads are blowing up. Some very snarky stuff is coming out to the Jake Shermans of the world that get the inside baseball from the Democrats and from the establishment Republicans. | ||
| Is this a serious effort of Lauren Boebert to put before the House of Representatives an impeachment bill to be voted on? | ||
| Steve, I think I take everything that I do very, very seriously. | ||
| I take the oath that I took to the Constitution very seriously. | ||
| We have had hearings on the southern border. | ||
| We have looked into the invasion that is taking place, the sex trafficking, the tens of thousands of children that have gone missing. | ||
| And enough is enough. | ||
| Every time I'm back home in Colorado, people are demanding That someone do something. | ||
| They are tired of talking points, they are tired of messaging bills, and the failure theater that comes out of Washington, D.C. Are this also independents, not just the people that voted for you? | ||
| That's absolutely correct. You're saying it's broader than just the MAGA constituents obviously love you and support you. | ||
| People are ready for a change, and especially in Colorado, where We are now a border state. | ||
| We're a sanctuary state because of our Democrat governor and the Democrat state legislature. | ||
| And we're spending tens of millions of dollars to house illegal aliens, fentanyl poisoning, number two in the nation, Colorado, for fentanyl poisoning. | ||
| This is killing our children. And so yesterday I took action. | ||
| I would love for committees to do the work, but I haven't seen the work be done on this particular subject. | ||
| So I drafted my articles of impeachment in a way that I could bring them to the House floor under our House Rule 9 and force a vote on my articles of impeachment for Joe Biden. | ||
| Let's talk about your article's impeachment because today we've got people and we're deep into the investigations of the Bidens, the money laundering, whether it's Ukraine or the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Today CNBC breaks that the spying industrial espionage is not just a seal on national property. | ||
| The CCP is trying to replace our companies. | ||
| You've got the dagger in the heart of Cuba, the military base. | ||
| You have all this going on. | ||
| Is your impeachment proposal deal with any of that? | ||
| No. So my articles of impeachment are strictly for the dereliction of duty by the President of the United States to secure our southern border and to execute faithfully our laws that we currently have on the books. | ||
| They are willfully allowing an invasion to take place at our southern border. | ||
| I want the southern border secure. | ||
| I want it shut down. I want the sex trafficking to stop, the death of children to stop, the influx of Fentanyl in our country to be put to an end. | ||
| Right now, cartel, they are loving Joe Biden's presidency because they have full reign at our southern border. | ||
| Now, Steve, you know I serve on the House Oversight Committee. | ||
| We are investigating Hunter Biden and, more importantly, Joe Biden. | ||
| But that investigation is still ongoing. | ||
| We just received new documents that only the chairman has been able to view in a skiff, more unclassified documents that are heavily redacted, so much that I'm being told you can't really tell what the documents are referring to. | ||
| They're redacted so greatly. | ||
| So there are still more that we are doing in that investigation. | ||
| And if all of this comes out to be true, we can get the audio tapes that were redacted from the first FD-1023 and see this connection of the $5 million bribe, maybe $10 million bribe to the big guy, Joe Biden. | ||
| Then that in itself is... | ||
| It qualifies for impeachment, but my articles of impeachment are for the southern border. | ||
| Ever since the afternoon of the 20th of January 2021, when his first executive orders were to lift what Trump had done on the border, we have this show more than anybody. | ||
| We've documented people from the Darien Gap. | ||
| We've had reporters all over. | ||
| It's without question that this was well thought through. | ||
| The Biden regime thought this through and exacerbated it. | ||
| Yesterday we had Dave Walsh on about Texas grid going down. | ||
| There are four million new people in Texas. | ||
| Eighty percent of that is illegal aliens now in these colonies where they're running. | ||
| How can any of your colleagues, if this is straightforward and doesn't get into all the other things on financial that we're getting into needs investigation, how can your colleagues not support that? | ||
| The evidence of that is quite clear. | ||
| Is there any doubt in your mind on that? | ||
| The evidence is very clear. | ||
| I've been to the southern border. I've seen it myself. | ||
| Most of my colleagues have been to the southern border. | ||
| They've certainly been there more than Kamala Harris, the border czar, and Joe Biden himself. | ||
| So they've seen firsthand what is taking place and how this is willful negligence. | ||
| They are purposefully opening up our southern border and allowing this influx of criminal migration into our country. | ||
| And we're seeing high crime in our cities throughout our country because of it. | ||
| This is something that we've been talking about for two and a half years, but I'm done with talking. | ||
| Let's actually do something about it. | ||
| So I brought up my articles about impeachment to force a vote. | ||
| This forces a debate within the conference and then on the floor in front of the American people. | ||
| This will force a debate on the sovereignty of our nation, the territorial integrity of the United States of America, the self-determination of the American people. | ||
| Is that what you're looking for? That is what I'm looking for. | ||
| Now, Democrats are going to try to table this motion, and I need Republicans to stick with us and not vote with them. | ||
| We have the majority. This does not have to be tabled, just like last week we saw Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna's censure resolution be tabled. | ||
| Republicans joined with Democrats to kill that. | ||
| She's bringing it up this week again. | ||
| She changed her language some, and we do expect that to pass. | ||
| There's still a couple of Republicans who aren't in favor of censoring Adam Schiff for his sham impeachment that he knew was a lie. | ||
| But if we have Republicans stick together, we can have that debate about the sovereignty of our nation and how important it is to shut the southern border down and secure it for our people. | ||
| How can any of your, when you're in conference, I heard it was a little heated this morning, how can any of your colleagues seeing the evidence, I mean hard facts, dispute this? | ||
| How can they vote to say we don't want to do this, we want to back the Democrats and table this motion? | ||
| How can they do that? There's a lot of excuses that are made. | ||
| Some want the articles of impeachment to go through the committee process, and I'm all for that process, but it's not happening. | ||
| And what I'm hearing is it's not happening because the votes aren't there to pass articles of impeachment out of committee by Republicans. | ||
| And so this, I'm hoping, generates enthusiasm with the base to contact their members of Congress and say, we want something done while you have the majority. | ||
| Joe Biden is destroying our country at every turn, every trip of a sandbag. | ||
| He destroys our sovereignty and our integrity a little more. | ||
| So I need everyone calling their members of Congress. | ||
| We're going to be out of session here at the end of this week for a couple of weeks. | ||
| And I want them to hear from you and say we want articles of impeachment to come up. | ||
| This won't come up before you guys go on 4th of July, which will be this Friday, is when you take off in your belt. | ||
| My vote will come up this week. | ||
| Okay, the number is 202-225-3121. | ||
| It's the main switchboard for the house. | ||
| Grace and Captain Bannon, if you can get up all of the information we put out about individuals, make sure you go there right now. | ||
| When they call, what is the message you want delivered? | ||
| If you have been to the southern border at all or if you've seen anything on the news and you've seen the sex trafficking that is taking place, the human trafficking, the children who are unaccompanied, who are sent over in the hands of the cartel, you know that something needs to be done. | ||
| Joe Biden has willfully neglected his oath of office to faithfully execute our nation's laws. | ||
| He must be impeached. | ||
| For this high crime and misdemeanor of not faithfully executing his duty as President of the United States to keep our nation safe. | ||
| So I need people to call their member of Congress. | ||
| If Republicans kill this bill, these articles of impeachment this week, we will still continue to push to impeach Joe Biden. | ||
| Well, we will do that over the 4th of July holiday. | ||
| But this week, this is a call to action now. | ||
| By the way, Eduardo Vistague, the great actor and producer from Mexico, is here for the entire second hour to talk about what topic? | ||
| The trafficking of minors from Mexico through the southern border into the United States. | ||
| It's the biggest industry in the world. | ||
| It will shock you. That's the movie Sound of Freedom that premieres over the 4th of July weekend. | ||
| Once again, this week, 202-225-3121 to support your bill or resolution. | ||
| My resolution. My articles of impeachment that I am forcing a vote on this week in the House of Representatives. | ||
| And this is highly targeted. You're not getting into all the Biden crime family. | ||
| You're saying very much he is commander-in-chief. | ||
| He's the chief magistrate. | ||
| He's the CEO of the United States government. | ||
| And he has willfully had a thought-through plan to initiate and exacerbate an invasion on the southern border, essentially. | ||
| Steve, that is exactly what is going on right now. | ||
| This is intentional. Even Secretary Mayorkas, whom also should be impeached, he knows how to have operational security of our southern border, operational control of our southern border, and he is choosing not to. | ||
| The boldness of what you're doing is you're saying, hey, Mayorkas aside, Garland aside, I'm going to the head guy. | ||
| The Republicans need to show you've had enough hearings on the border. | ||
| There's been enough photo ops down there on the border. | ||
| Your point is very simple. | ||
| It's an up or down vote. | ||
| Let's get it out there. And if we need to debate it on the House floor, let's debate it on the House floor. | ||
| One hour debate on the House floor? | ||
| And make the Democrats defend it. | ||
| Yes, and so if Republicans allow this to get to the debate, we will have one hour debate and then a straight up and down vote. | ||
| It's time for action, and I am taking this straight to the top to the man who is currently housed at the White House, and he needs to be held accountable for the tragedies that are taking place in our nation because of his open border policies. | ||
| Does the whip, the conference chair, the majority leader, and the Speaker of the House support you in this endeavor? | ||
| I have not heard of support from leadership at this time. | ||
| There was encouragement not to bring this up. | ||
| Why? Why? You know, that's a frustrating thing that I experience a lot here in Washington, D.C. In the Republican Party, there's a lot of go along to get along and we'll wait. | ||
| We'll do it next time. We'll do it next Congress. | ||
| I'm ready for action now. | ||
| I have left my four boys and my grandson back in Colorado to serve the American people and I'm not here to waste my time. | ||
| I'm not here to waste their time. | ||
| I'm here for action and we have got to take control of our country. | ||
| This is coming up this week, 202-225-3121. | ||
| The Congress has got to bounce. We're going to deal with this more in the next, once more. | ||
| What's the message when they call today? | ||
| Because they will light them up. What do you want them to tell them? | ||
| Do not allow your representative to kill these articles of impeachment when Democrats call to table them. | ||
| They will want this to go away, not have a debate and not have a vote. | ||
| So I need your representatives to stay strong and allow the debate and the straight up and down vote to impeach Joe Biden for the invasion taking place at our southern border. | ||
| And this is the bold action you promised your constituents out in Colorado, correct? | ||
| Absolutely. And this is what you promised all of MAGA and the Republican Party when you came here? | ||
| Promises made, promises kept. | ||
| How do people get to you? I need people to go to your social media and your site. | ||
| Where do they go? Twitter, at Lauren Boebert. | ||
| And on Facebook, Lauren Boebert for Congress. | ||
| And then you can go to my website, laurenforfreedom.com. | ||
| Understand something. You've got to have her back because you're about to get chewed up for the next couple of days. | ||
| Oh, yes. The donors and the establishment Republicans do not want this. | ||
| They don't want this bold action. | ||
| They want to have photo ops on the southern border, talk about it, raise money off it, and do nothing. | ||
| You're taking action. Congressman, honored to have you in here. | ||
| Thanks so much, Steve. One more time. Where did I go on social media? | ||
| At Lauren Boebert on Twitter, Lauren Boebert for Congress on Facebook, and laurenforfreedom.com. | ||
| 202-225-3121. | ||
| Call now. The second hour is going to back up 100 % what Congressman Boebert's talking about. | ||
| The trafficking of children into the United States from Mexico, Central America, and Latin America. | ||
| Why? Sex trafficking of minors. | ||
| This is what's happening. | ||
| This is why Biden's got to be impeached. | ||

Back in a moment. On October 3, 2016, the FBI met with Christopher Steele, who confessed to relying heavily on a Russian national living in Washington, D.C., as a subsource. | |
| That subsource was later identified as Igor Danchenko. | ||
| Steele not only used Danchenko to create the dossier, but according to your report, Steele was unable to corroborate any of the substantive allegations made in the dossier. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| That's correct. Even after, the FBI offered Steele a million dollars if somehow he could actually follow through and underscore some of those specific items. | ||
| Is that correct? That's correct. | ||
| So the FBI interviewed Danchenko and Steele's subsource for three days, from January 24th through January 26th of 2017. | ||
| However, according to your report, Danchenko could not provide any evidence corroborating allegations contained in the dossier. | ||
| Is that correct? That's a fact. | ||
| And yet the FBI paid Danchenko $220,000 during his time as a confidential human source. | ||
| Is that correct? That's correct. | ||
| And did the FBI propose making continued future payments to Danchenko, totaling more than $300,000? | ||
| That's correct. Danchenko becomes a confidential human source, then enlists his own subsource, Charles Dolan, as was brought up earlier, who was a Democrat operative and had previously served as an advisor to Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign. | ||
| Is that your understanding? | ||
| Is that correct? That's correct. Did Danchenko ever disclose his relationship with Charles Dolan to the FBI that you're aware of? | ||
| He did not during the interviews that were conducted in January. | ||
| Subsequently, he was specifically asked in an interview with his then-handler, do you know Charles Dolan? | ||
| If you listen to the recording, he hesitates for some awkward period of time and says, yes, I know who Dolan is. | ||
| So he acknowledged knowing Mr. | ||
| Dolan. Do you think it had anything to do with he was simply worried that disclosing a Democrat operative As a subsource, might jeopardize the whole payroll deal that the FBI had set up with them? | ||
| We lay these facts out as we do other facts in the report and leave it to others to draw the reasonable conclusions or inferences from those facts. | ||
| Very good. Of the hundreds of individuals who the FBI interviewed through the course of Crossfire Hurricane and Miller's special counsel investigation, This came up earlier. | ||
| Was Charles Dolan ever interviewed by the FBI? He was not. | ||
| Do you have any insight as to why the FBI would not interview him or overlook such a high-profile person in this whole investigation? | ||
| That's something of a mystery. | ||
| Going back to October 3rd, according to the ALAT, the assistant legal attache for the Bureau, when he first I'm sorry, going back to July 5th, when he first met with Steele, Steele had indicated to him at the time that HC was aware of what he, | ||
| Steele, was doing. When the Bureau went back to interview Steele on October 3rd about matters relating to Crossfire Hurricane, Steele, in fact, had provided the Bureau with Dolan's name as somebody who might have information relating to Trump. | ||
| But he was never interviewed. So yeah, I don't know why they never interviewed Trump. | ||
| I'm sorry, why they didn't interview Mr. | ||
| Dolan, but they didn't. The explanation that was given to the intelligence analyst who's referred to in the report essentially was that that would be outside the scope of their mission, outside their role. | ||
| Very good. You note in your report on page 168 that one of the analysts of the Miller team was told, quote, to cease all research and analysis related to Dolan, unquote. | ||
| This was the same analyst who, according to your footnote, prepared a timeline in the event she were later interviewed about her role on the Miller Special Counsel investigation. | ||
| Is that correct? | ||
| That's correct. Igor Donchenko had also relied on other subsources, namely Olga Galkina and Sergei Millen. | ||
| When the FBI interviewed those two subsources, were either of them able to verify the information in the Steele dossier? | ||
| Well, speaking first to Millian, we interviewed Millian as well. | ||
| He's outside the country. | ||
| Claims to fear for safety and whatnot, but he adamantly denied ever talking to Denchenko or providing any information akin to what was in the Steele reporting. | ||
| In fact, he is a supporter of President Trump, which made it seem highly unlikely that he would be providing derogatory information to somebody he had never met or spoken to. | ||
| So that's as to Millian. | ||
| With respect to Ms. | ||
| Galkina, Ms. | ||
| Galkina was somebody Who provided some information to Danchenko, provided some information to Dolan. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm out of time. | ||
| The gentleman yields back. | ||
| The chair now recognizes the gentleman from Georgia. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Special Counsel Durham, in March of 2019, before releasing the Mueller report to the public... | ||
| Okay, this is the Durham, I guess, the hearing by judiciary. | ||
| Matt Gaetz, and we'll try to pull up some of the question by Matt Gaetz earlier. | ||
| This has been going on since 9 a.m. | ||
| Eastern Time. Matt Gaetz has been kind of the star of this, asking the tough questions and getting to the heart of why Durham, why there are no prosecutions, why Durham didn't get to the bottom of any of this. | ||
| I said for years, Durham's part of the system. | ||
| And all the people out there, you can think about it, everybody that reported this nonstop, everybody talked about Durham, this, Durham, now you're going to have all these insights on Durham. | ||
| I said from the beginning, Durham's part of the, he's part of the system. | ||
| He's part of the system. | ||
| He's, you know, a bar acolyte. | ||
| Nothing was going to happen and nothing did happen. | ||
| Now, I'm sure today they're going to beat this guy up and we're going to get some insights. | ||
| And as long as you've got, this is the House Judiciary, which has some pretty tough hombres on it, particularly Matt Gates, who seems to dominate all these. | ||
| And Jordan's there talking about the FISA and their focus on the FISA. The FISA is just a small part of it. | ||
| It's an important part because it shows you the abuse that the apparatus has. | ||
| But it's, you know, this is another frustrating thing. | ||
| And that's why I think Boebert It is finally saying, hey, we got to start taking some actions here. | ||
| You know, you've had enough committee meetings. | ||
| You're not even having serious committee hearings on the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| McCarthy and these guys cut a deal to let them have $6.8 trillion in everything going along with the funding of this madness with unlimited cap on it. | ||
| So how can you take it seriously? | ||
| When McCarthy tries to fight this, you got the appropriations process, which is going to be very difficult to implement. | ||
| And we're now within 90 days of that. | ||
| And remember, they're leaving for two and a half weeks this Thursday for the 4th of July break. | ||
| They come back for three weeks, I think. | ||
| And then technically, according to the schedule, they're gone from roughly the 1st of August until the week after Labor Day. | ||
| So this whole thing about appropriations, they're trying to do misdirection plays on you and hand you shiny toys. | ||
| Now, the argument is, oh, Steve, this is just a shiny toy. | ||
| No, she's trying to use this impeachment effort. | ||
| As what we call a forcing function. | ||
| First, I have to smoke out who these Republicans that need to be primaried. | ||
| Once again, the people that back with the Democrats. | ||
| Because what you have here right now is you have a house that's supposed to be a coalition government on the right. | ||
| And it's really a coalition government with Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| And they're trying to shut down MAGA. We're just not going to tolerate that. | ||
| And this is another step in trying to seize the House floor. | ||
| And today you're going to see, and Congressman Boebert was able to spend a few minutes before and afterwards with us, there's tremendous pressure coming from these moderates to back the Democrats and table the motion. | ||
| And remember, what she's doing is unlike what some of the other congressmen are doing, which I think is fine also, but that is to go through the committees on the investigation of Hunter Biden. | ||
| We're going to get Dave Columbus up here. | ||
| We're going to be a little choppy today. | ||
| We got James O'Keefe coming in. | ||
| We got Eduardo coming in. | ||
| We got a lot going on. | ||
| An incredible piece last night on MSNBC about RFK that I want to play in its entirety. | ||
| It takes about eight minutes, and I'll give commentary on that. | ||
| Also, major breaking news. | ||
| Regarding China, and if we could put those two up, I think I gave it to you this morning. | ||
| CNBC, you know, three items today in global news. | ||
| CNBC's reporting that the stealing of $600 billion a year, think about that, $600 billion a year in intellectual property is stolen. | ||
| are essentially given away by these forced joint ventures to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| It's the way they built their entire military. | ||
| It's the way that Sequoia Capital, the front operation for the CCP, continues to get them advanced military technology. | ||
| There's a report out today to tell CEOs this is just not to steal your intellectual property, to compete against you and to make sure that your margins are smaller. | ||
| They're actually trying to replace you. | ||
| They're doing this to try to replace. | ||
| This is their decoupling. | ||
| Which she called for in May of 2019. | ||
| This is decoupling from the West because we want to control this. | ||
| We want to control the Facebooks. | ||
| We want to control the Twitters. | ||
| We want to control these apparatuses. | ||
| Well, they control Twitter because they finance it. | ||
| They're alerting these CEOs that this is to replace you, not to compete with you, replace you. | ||
| At the same time, the lead story in The Guardian this morning, the human rights, you know, the gold standard in human rights, you know, watch through the entire world, rates the CCP as the number one government in the world of suppression of their own people, | ||
| of Lao-Beijing. So here you got a fact where you've got the Wall Street guys and the guys in Silicon Valley are in business with a group that is almost close to the Nazis, not quite to the Nazis, okay? | ||
| They are with these camps with the Uyghurs. | ||
| So they haven't gotten to a Holocaust yet. | ||
| However, it has been a Holocaust as far as forced abortions, what they've done to suppress the evangelical Christians, Falun Gong, and the traditional Catholics. | ||
| And people are in business with them. | ||
| Biden's trying to cut a deal with them with a knife to our heart from Cuba, a military base in Cuba, with offensive, going to have offensive cyber capability, and they will have bioweapon capability. | ||
| And now it's all out in the public. | ||
| Okay, we've got a lot to get to. | ||
| We've got BlackRock going after Sequoia every day. | ||
| James O'Keefe is here to go after BlackRock. | ||
| We've got the invasion of the southern border, the child trafficking. | ||
| You're not going to be able to look away. | ||
| You've got to stare it down. You've got to look at it. | ||
| All next in the War Room. Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We have a Durham hearing going on. | ||
| Powell is getting grilled this morning. | ||
| We're going to try to dip in and out of both of those. | ||
| We're trying to get the highlights of Matt Gaetz, so we're going to get to all of it. | ||
| I've asked Dave Clements to join me. | ||
| Clements, quickly, give us your background as a prosecutor, because I want to get into this Hunter Biden situation. | ||
| What's your background as a prosecutor? | ||
| Hey, Steve. Good morning. | ||
| I'm a former deputy district attorney, and I oversaw six law enforcement agencies here in Lincoln County. | ||
| And so I'm very, very interested in the plea deal that was put out there for Hunter Biden, especially this thing dealing with pre-prosecution diversion. | ||
| Got some insights there that this plea deal is far worse than people realize. | ||
| And I know everyone already knows it's bad, but there's some things that I could probably tease out for your audience. | ||
| Yeah, please. I want to, because people should understand this is not the, you know, his attorney saying, hey, if there's any more investigations, I wouldn't have done anything. | ||
| Well, that's far from the truth and we're going to force this because this is, these guys are treasonous in what they've done. | ||
| But go ahead and tell me about this deal. | ||
| Tease out how outrageous this is. | ||
| Just stand alone. Well, it's outrageous on so many different levels. | ||
| What we're dealing with are three charges, essentially two tax, two tax issues and A gun possession charge. | ||
| Now, you've had Garrett Ziegler on your show many times with Marco Polo, and we know that there's at least 459 documented crimes. | ||
| If you want to be very, very judicious, you could focus on six crimes alone that should have been brought here, and those were violations of the MAN Act. | ||
| That's where you transport someone across state lines to engage in sexual activity. | ||
| That's what led to the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell for 20 years. | ||
| Notice that those charges are absent. | ||
| And the reason why I bring this up is when you start looking at the Department of Justice's own criteria for when pre-prosecution diversion is appropriate, you'll see that everything that we're seeing here is expressly prohibited. | ||
| So if Cameron could bring up image number two that I sent, there is a selection criteria that identifies many things. | ||
| But we're told that pretrial diversion shall exclude any individual who is what And there's a series of categories here, but one of the things is dealing with offenses related to sexual abuse or sexual assault. | ||
| An offense involving or brandishing a firearm, which is part and parcel to what we're looking at here. | ||
| Issues dealing with public officials where there's a violation of the public trust. | ||
| The entire laptop issue is an issue of public trust. | ||
| Issues related to national security with the back dealing of Burisma. | ||
| So the point that I'm trying to make here, Steve, is that no prosecutor would have even brought this to a director of a diversion program. | ||
| They would have been laughed out of the office, number one. | ||
| Number two, no director would have accepted this plea deal in any office that I've ever supervised or been in. | ||
| This is outrageous. | ||
| And number three, if a judge received this plea deal, knowing what the guidelines and policies were for diversion, I don't think they would accept this plea. | ||
| I've seen judges say, look, this is not in the best interest of justice. | ||
| I appreciate that you brought a plea deal to my bench, but I can't accept this. | ||
| So, you know, recap. 459 charges, you've got three non-crimes, and the use of diversion, which violates the express provisions of the DOJ, is one of the most absurd things that I've ever seen. | ||
| And what this does is it opens up Kind of the gates of hell, because when you start talking about sentencing, every single defendant going forward is going to remember this day and say, why can't I get the deal that Hunter got? | ||
| It's a travesty. His attorneys out on MSNBC last night saying that he would have never agreed to this deal if he was not told or implied that all investigations into Hunter Biden have dropped. | ||
| Now, the U.S. attorney said there are ongoing investigations. | ||
| Which one, given the facts as you've read in this plea deal, Who do you think is correct there? | ||
| Do you believe his attorney? | ||
| Because he said, I would have never made a deal if there had been ongoing investigations. | ||
| Do you believe his attorney or do you believe the U.S. attorney? | ||
| I hate to say it. | ||
| I don't believe the U.S. attorney is right in this instance. | ||
| The law disfavors piecemeal litigation. | ||
| And so if law enforcement is aware of crimes that are out there, it's incumbent upon them to bring all the charges and make sure that all the charges that are out there that are resolved through the plea deal. | ||
| Now, there's a question of whether state authorities could go after Hunter Biden on state crimes that are documented. | ||
| But from federal offenses like these man violations, you're basically looking at someone for two misdemeanors and pre-prosecution diversion where you don't even have to plea to a felony. | ||
| You're not going to trial on any of this. | ||
| Are you telling this audience that everything we've seen, everything that's in the laptop from hell that Garrett Ziegler and the people have put up there and everybody's put up on there, and then we know the trafficking of women, of which we've had congressmen, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert, others that have gone to the Treasury Department and seen the SARS reports, and they say the file on the trafficking of women is the thickest file. | ||
| Are you telling this audience that all of that cannot be prosecuted now? | ||
| It's standard practice for a plea deal to make sure that every charge that law enforcement is aware of is brought into the litigation. | ||
| So you've got federal jurisdiction and state jurisdiction. | ||
| There is a great risk. | ||
| I know that if I was Hunter Biden's attorney, I would raise this issue to forestall or forbid any more investigation into his acts, because that's the consideration that's being offered for the plea. | ||
| So I think the only chance that you have if you go this route is for state prosecutions, but you're basically giving away everything from a federal standpoint. | ||
| Okay, I've got to have you back on here. | ||
| We've got to bounce. Dave, where do you go to get all your writings, all your videos, everything? | ||
| You can find me on Twitter at TheProfsRecord. | ||

Who is the president? | |
| Who is controlling the wall? | ||
| Who is the president? Who is controlling the wall? Who is the president? | ||
| Who is the president? | ||
| The hedge funds, the banks, these guys won't do it. | ||
| You're paying financing. | ||
| You can buy your candidates. | ||
| So, you know, so. | ||
| All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. | ||
| How do they run the world? | ||
| You acquire stuff. | ||
| You diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring, you spend whatever you make in acquiring more. | ||
| And at a certain point, your risk level is super low. | ||
| Imagine you've invested in 10 different industries from food to drinks to technology. | ||
| One of them fails. It doesn't matter. | ||
| You have nine others to pick you up. | ||
| Risk management is inherently just about everything. | ||
| In the finance space, it's all about the money you make. | ||
| You don't let it sit. | ||
| You keep using it over and over. | ||
| Reinvest. Yeah, and it's exponential growth. | ||
| And then once you just own a little bit of everything, is that where the control? | ||
| Yeah, you own a little bit of everything, and that little bit of everything gives you so much money on a yearly basis that you can take this big f*** ton of money, and then you can start to buy people. | ||
| Obviously we have this system in place. | ||
| First there's the senators, and this guy's f***. | ||
| You got 10 grand, you can buy a senator. | ||
| It doesn't matter who owns. | ||
| They're my followers. | ||
| I can give you 500k right now. | ||
| No questions asked. Identity needs to be done. | ||
| They'll be like, yeah, of course. Why not? | ||
| Does everybody do that? | ||
| Does BlackRock do that? Any thoughts on the Ukraine-Russia war? | ||
| Ukraine is good for business. | ||
| We don't want the conflict to end. | ||
| Why? We don't want the conflict to end as a country. | ||
| The longer this goes on, the weaker Russia is. | ||
| I'll give an example. Pressure blows up Ukraine's grain seeds. | ||
| The price of wheat's gonna go mad up. | ||
| So what are you gonna do for a trading firm? | ||
| The moment that news hits, within a millisecond, you're gonna pump trades into whoever the wheat suppliers are, into their stocks. | ||
| Within an hour or two, that stock goes up, and then you sell, and you just made, I don't know, cover my email. | ||
| Wow. James O'Keefe, founder of the O'Keefe Media Group. | ||
| James, what did we just see there? | ||
| It feels like it's quite explosive. | ||
| What is it? Well, that's an employee recruiter at BlackRock saying all the things that everyone always suspects, but actually says it out loud, saying that they run the world, they buy senators, they buy politicians, and I think some of the most shocking materials about Ukraine Where he said the war is really, quote, effing good for business. | ||
| Ukraine is where a lot of the grain silos are located, and they trade off the volatility of that. | ||
| This comes on the news just literally in the last 24 hours that BlackRock is helping the Ukrainian government set up a reconstruction bank. | ||
| So a lot of quotes in there, Steve, a lot to unpack. | ||
| Part one of our series into these very powerful financial institutions, which seem to own almost everything. | ||
| I just want to go back. | ||
| He's bragging that they essentially control the world. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Is he not, sir? Yeah, he's bragging. | |
| Like a lot of the investigations you've come to watch over the years, there's kind of a greed and avarice, a lack of introspection. | ||
| Some would call it evil, darkness. | ||
| This guy had a fascination with death, actually, and he calls it domination. | ||
| There are a lot of overtones with that sort of language. | ||
| But certainly, Steve, a stereotypical BlackRock executive as if it was a Saturday Night Live sketch talking about the influence they have on our politics and our culture. | ||
| He says they're in our pocket. | ||
| He says it doesn't matter who wins. | ||
| He says it doesn't cost too much to buy a senator. | ||
| He says they're all in our pocket. | ||
| This guy, while he is just a recruiter and perhaps not a managing director, although we have more coming out, this guy is responsible for hiring the people. | ||
| He's responsible for hiring the people that make the decisions. | ||
| I did speak, Steve, with a managing director at BlackRock Corporate Communications who did talk to me yesterday, but ultimately declined to comment on this expose. | ||
| Now, you've got other in this series coming out? | ||
| Yes. We always have more coming out because they're going to say this is an isolated incident and that sort of thing and then we have more to come. | ||
| I also actually confronted this guy in the Bronx just yesterday and he actually walked into a police station It was unclear whether he was trying to get me arrested or turn himself in. | ||
| It was a wild video encounter, which you'll see us release later today. | ||
| That's going to be later today. | ||
| James, how do people go to back the O'Keefe Media Group, get all this, become part of this? | ||

| So it's very important that you support our journalism because this is important. | ||
| These are really powerful people. | ||
| And I know they just did a denial of service attack on me yesterday where they inundated my tip lines with hundreds, thousands of fake messages. | ||
| I don't know who they is, but certainly the powers that be are upset at me. | ||
| So support us, subscribe, O'KeefeMediaGroup.com if you support this sort of journalism. | ||
| Go to O'Keefe Media because James O'Keefe has taken on the biggest of the big, the BlackRock. | ||

We didn't investigate that. | |

| I'm sorry, could you repeat that one? | ||
| Are you signing off on the way Donald Trump acted with Russia in 2016? | ||
| Our report doesn't address that. | ||
| And you agree that Russia interfered in the 2016 election? | ||
| I agree that there's substantial evidence to show that. | ||

| Nora Danahy. Gentle lady from Florida. | ||
| Right. Nora Danahy, a friend of mine, a very good lawyer, an honest person. | ||
| Why did she resign? That's Nora Danahy. | ||
| That's why we brought her on. | ||
| Why did she resign? The gentleman's time has expired. | ||
| Answer the question if you'd like. | ||

|
Mr. Chairman, who's in charge here? | |
| Because it's not Mr. Schiff, I don't think. | ||
| It's the lady's time from Florida. | ||
| Good morning, Mr. Durham. Good morning. | ||
| As a former federal prosecutor, I want to begin by telling you how much I appreciate your work, that of your team, and your presence here today. | ||
| And you may begin by answering the prior question, if you wish. | ||
| With respect to Ms. | ||
| Danni, I have the greatest respect for her. | ||
| She's a friend of mine. She's very well educated. | ||
| She's an honest person. | ||
| We had Some disagreements on issues, and I don't really have any comment beyond that. | ||
| I'm not going to discuss the internal management and decision making. | ||
| I'll tell you this, that every agent and every lawyer who worked on this project had a full voice in the decisions that were going forward. | ||
| I made the final decisions. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. Durham. I'd like to focus on the Department of Justice's procedures as to FISA applications when that process is conducted appropriately. | ||
| To begin with, FISA surveillance application must include an affidavit from a federal law enforcement officer, correct? | ||
| That's correct. And that affidavit must demonstrate cause to believe that the target of the surveillance is an agent of a foreign power. | ||
| Is that also right? Right. | ||
| If it relates to a U.S. citizen, it has to be that they're a knowing agent. | ||
| If it's a non-U.S. person, a knowing element is not required. | ||
| And it is intended that that affidavit should rely upon reasonable, trustworthy information, is it not? | ||
| That's correct. And in some cases, in including the case of Carter Page, those affidavits, that information can include the use of information obtained from a confidential human source, correct? | ||
| That's correct. And when information from a confidential human source is included, would you agree that it's important that material related to the reliability or trustworthiness of that confidential human source is disclosed within the affidavit? | ||
| Yes. And I believe you testified here earlier today that in this case Information in that Carter Page application related to the reliability and credibility of the confidential human source was not included in these applications. | ||
| Is that right? I believe that's correct. | ||
| Would you tell us in your experience, in your many years working with the department, why is it important that that type of information is included and disclosed to both federal prosecutors and to the court? | ||
| When matters are submitted to the court, it's for a reason or to a judge. | ||
| It's to let an independent judicial officer weigh the question of whether probable cause exists. | ||
| Go ahead, bring it back. | ||
| Okay, all you Durham guys, you're seeing it. | ||
| By the way, that was a false statement. | ||
| There's never been any. | ||
| There was substantial interference in the 16 election. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's just a lie. It's just a cold line. | |
| So all you Durham fans, I hope you're getting it today. | ||
| I'm sure there's going to be some good stuff. | ||
| We'll pull the gates in some of the other clips so you can see it. | ||
| But I've said from day one, he's an acolyte of Bill Barr. | ||
| This is that whole Republican establishment. | ||
| You're going to see it today on Fighting Boebert. | ||
| Number's 202-225-3121. | ||
| That's 202-225-3121. | ||
| Call your House member and say you want to back Lauren Boebert's impeachment resolution. | ||
| She wants to bring to the House floor and have a vote, up or down, on the evasion of the southern border. | ||
| That doesn't include anything else. | ||
| You just got bad news there from Dave Clements. | ||
| That nobody else will tell you. | ||
| We're going to drill down on that. Did this wave all the aspects of Hunter Biden and human trafficking and the trafficking of women across international borders, not just state borders, international borders for sex trafficking and money laundering and taking money from foreign powers? | ||
| Did that all get wrapped up yesterday? | ||
| We still haven't gotten a straight answer on that. | ||
| And Dave Clements, I think, just dropped a bombshell here. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Eduardo Vesegue is trying to join us. | ||
| He's going to be the bookend to Lauren Boebert's impeachment proposal about the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| He's here to tell you about the film Sound of Freedom and how it talks specifically about this issue of the trafficking of minors across the border of the United States of America for sex. | ||
| Sex slavery. | ||
| All next in The War Room. | ||
