Exposing the FBI - August 30th, Hour 2

Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
So you've got the senior FBI official in the Washington, D.C. Bureau.
Just a mere coincidence, I'm sure the same bureau that responsible for the Russia witch hunt leading to the Muller leading to Pfizer abuse and lying to a Pfizer court, but just that's a mere coincidence.
Anyway, Washington Times, Kerry Pickett learning that uh Tim Tebow, like the quarterback, not the quarterback, an assistant special agent in charge, was forced to leave the post and was escorted out of the bureau seen on Friday by two or three quote, headquarter-looking types uh according to eyewitnesses.
It's not clear whether he left on his own accord or was forced out.
We don't know the full nature of all of this.
Now that goes to the very specific issue.
We we've now learned that Donald Trump's uh personal and confidential uh exchanges, in other words, information between him and his lawyer, uh, was in fact in the documents that the FBI took that even Merrick Garland now says that they have read.
That would be covered under attorney client privilege.
This is why that warrant, as broad as it was, was always problematic.
And for Merrick Garland to go out there and say, Oh, no, no, don't worry about it.
We we're we're reviewing it internally, and we have our own people to do that.
Well, they should have hired a special master as we went into great specificity and and great detail.
And what they put in place was called a taint team, which is like basically them investigating themselves, and do you trust them?
And the answer is not after all that we've been through, as I discussed in the last hour.
I there was an interesting quote, and I thought it was interesting.
Kevin Brock, retired FBI assistant director, saying the FBI going is going to regret criminalizing this dispute over documents, even the Wall Street Journal saying that's it, that's all you got.
Anyway, between Trump and the National Archives, and here's what he had to say.
Uh, it seems like this use in particular in very politically sensitive cases.
Why would the FBI need to use an news article?
They have all these resources to find the truth.
Uh just your thoughts.
We've got about a minute left on that.
John, I'll I'll just say this the FBI should not participate in this investigation.
Uh it was a earlier point, it was initiated by the National Archives that it is something that needs to be settled along established routes in that regard that it's been traditionally used.
There was no need for law enforcement involvement in this, and there was certainly no need for an invasive search for the residents.
Um I think they're gonna regret this.
You know, many people, even on the left said if there's no smoking then, if there's no real media violation here, this is not gonna go well.
And now we know there isn't anything here other than just some federal obscure fiddles.
Yeah.
That's it, Kevin.
That's your right.
Really enforced.
Now, this is the same, by the way, FBI that we know, also escorted a guy by the name of Peter Strzok out of the FBI.
Nothing has happened to him.
He's just on every TV show he can get on on fake news CNN on and MSDNC.
Uh, and you may remember he's the guy in writing that said to his lover and fellow FBI agent uh that we will stop him when when asked by Lisa Page if in fact Donald Trump is going to win the presidency in 2016.
He's the same guy a week later that said, Well, we really like your plan that we laid out in Andy's office.
Andy, we assume to be Andy McCabe, but if that doesn't work, we have an insurance policy.
You might remember that had taken place.
Uh so now we've got the heavy redactions from the DOJ in the affidavit.
Apparently they relied on press reports from like fake news outlets like CBS.
You you can't even make this up.
You can't make this Adam Schiff up.
You really can't.
Anyway, so the rate of documents, as the Wall Street Journal said, is that all there is?
38 pages, you know, mostly redacted to the evidence that the FBI search was all about a dispute over documents.
I mean, this just makes them look bad.
And remember, it's the same organization that brought us Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Jim Comey, Andrew McCabe, and and so many others.
This the same group of people, the Muller witch hunt, lying to the FISA court, saying that the dirty dossier was verified.
We know it's unverifiable, that none of it was true.
The pre-dawn raids against Roger Stone, fake news CNN cameras tipped off, Paul Manafort, the same organization that let Hillary off the hook for mishandling top secret classified materials on unsecure servers, plural, because Comey said no reasonable prosecutor would ever bring such a case.
They let Hillary off the hook when she we know for a fact she deleted 33,000 emails, wiped cleaner server with bleach bit, destroyed devices with hammers.
That sounds like obstruction to me if ever there was an obstruction case, and the same FBI that we now know, this guy in particular is being accused of, and we'll find out when these 20 whistleblowers or so speak out, or will say that the FBI is so politicized they had no interest in ever pursuing Hunter Biden, and that laptop from hell in fact implicates Joe Biden.
So we have a two-tier justice system, a dual justice system.
Anyway, Kerry Pickett is with us of the Washington Times.
She was uh breaking a lot of this news earlier this week, and Greg Jarrett, Fox News contributor, best selling author, host of his podcast, The Brief.
Welcome both of you.
Carrie, let's start with the news that you uh found out about Tim Tebow and more importantly, the FBI grabbed correspondence between the president and his attorneys, which would be privileged.
That's right, Sean.
Particularly with Timothy Tebow, he was uh found by Senator Grassley, among other Republican lawmakers, to have done all a lot of these uh social media posts.
He kind of outed himself as being uh very biased against uh President Trump.
He put out a lot of these social media posts about how he uh didn't really like President Trump uh basically uh you know, put out these anti-Trump statements on social media, and he was scrutinized uh rather you had uh Christopher Ray, an FBI director, he was scrutinized about Timothy Tebow.
And so uh what ended up happening here was that ultimately he was put on leave for at least the last month, and uh I found out through some tips that he was essentially frog marched out on Friday.
Uh but you see here, uh Sean, this is really just a symptom of what's been going on at the FBI for many, many years.
Yeah, the the problem here is like lots lots of people think that Trump is the only one who has been treated this way.
The way the FBI kind of looks at this is they go, Oh, Trump's been treated fairly.
He's been treated as fairly as we treat any rank and file FBI agent who, shall we say, uh uh threatens our power and our reputation.
All these FBI agents who had been who have been whistleblowers for years, who have been trying to say, hey, there's a there's institutional rot that's been going on at the FBI.
They have been silenced.
And then what ended up happening was uh you have Donald Trump who comes in and says, Hey, guess what?
There's institutional rock going on at the FBI, and guess what?
Donald Trump gets the same treatment, the same FBI agents have been getting, and now all of a sudden people are listening, and that's what's happening right now.
Let's get your take, Greg Jarrett on all of this, especially the taint teams.
Uh, you had some very, very uh incredible you made incredible points last night about the taint teams themselves being tainted.
Yeah, they are.
Uh I mean, they're a pure artifice, charade.
They always pretend to be objective.
They're not.
They're all on the same team as the government investigators and the prosecutors, and and as you say, it's like letting cops investigate cops.
It's fair in name only.
So, you know, when Mark Merrick Garland says, Oh, oh, trust us, uh, you know, ask yourself is this a guy who deserves our trust?
The guy who's been running a protection racket for Hunter and Joe Biden and refuses to appoint a neutral special counsel while he uh presides over the investigation of his boss's son, amid evidence that directly implicates the father, the president of the United States.
Uh special counsel is mandated under federal regulations, and yet Garland ignores it.
Uh and I think, you know, Sean, this explains why there's been no criminal charges filed uh against Hunter Biden, despite compelling evidence of influence federally money laundering, tax fraud.
And Hunter was selling access to his powerful father, and and foreign entities and governments paid millions of dollars into the Hunter's bank account, some of which apparently made its way uh to Joe Biden.
Nobody would have to do that.
But he implicates his own father repeatedly in that laptop.
Now, if we had equal justice in application of our laws, the FBI would have rated Hunter's home just like they would have rated Hillary Clinton's home.
Well, we don't have equal justice or application of laws.
No, absolutely not.
And Garland is also demanding we trust the FBI.
I mean, that what is that?
A joke?
Uh, you know, as Kerry pointed out uh last Friday, the agency uh escorted a top official out of the building after whistleblowers came forward and said this is the guy who undermined the Hunter Biden probe with political bias, shutting it down, spreading the lie that the laptop was Russian disinformation.
Uh this agent also reportedly gained approval to open an investigation of Trump in 2020 by concealing from his superiors, including Chris Ray, his partisan motivations.
And, you know, this is a pattern of political bias, say the whistleblowers from high-ranking officials at at the FBI.
The Hoover building is a cesspool of corruption.
All right, quick break more with Greg Jarrett and Kerry Pickett, and your call's coming up 800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh also we have John Solomon and the president's attorney, Aline Alina Haba coming up as we roll along, but your call's coming up also straight ahead.
Right with Greg Jarrett and Kerry Pickett analyzing the FBI.
We had Jim Jordan on last night.
He had previously said at least five FBI whistleblowers have come to him.
Now, because the Republicans are in the minority, they don't have subpoena power.
And then he confirmed last night that there were many more than the five he originally spoke about.
And the case of Charles Grassley, he mentioned 14 specific people that are whistleblowers within the FBI and DOJ.
You wrote a whole article about how whistleblowers describe the out-of-control culture of corruption within the FBI field offices, everything from forced or coerced agent coercing of agents to sign false affidavits or fabricated fabricated terrorism cases to pump up performance statistics or sexual harassment uh or acts of uh sexual acts with subordinates in a government vehicle on a crash government vehicle.
I mean, those charges are serious, and it seems that nobody's held accountable.
This is the only guy that got walked out.
And this is the same Christopher Ray that came in after Comey, and our hope was that he was going to clean up what should be the world's premier law enforcement agency.
I want everyone to be very clear about this.
Right now, you know, you have people who are saying, oh, well, the FBI is biased and you know, and they're only favoring Democrats.
I hear me out here.
The FBI is biased towards its own survival.
They are team FBI.
Okay.
So, you know, this goes back to the days of Jay Edgar Hoover and anyone who threatens the survival of the FBI, in this case, it was Donald Trump, or any FBI or any rank and file FBI agent who threatens the reputation is going to be hurt in some way, even even if they had the legally bankrupted.
So, for example, what we have here fabricated terrorism cases to pump up their performance statistics, like on Thanksgiving or Christmas, many field offices will end up telling their FBI agents, okay, guys, go out there and find somebody to open a case on uh on a on a terrorism suspicion.
Even if we don't charge them, we need to pump up our statistics so that I can look good for the uh guys down in Washington.
That's how it works because they have to pass their report card.
And that's been going on in field offices all over America right now.
Nobody was held accountable the last time.
And I said if that happened, then the deep state, as we call it, would be emboldened.
It appears they've been emboldened.
Yeah, they have been emboldened.
And the failure to remedy this systemic problem of the Department of Justice and FBI only makes it worse.
Americ Garland, the Attorney General, and Christopher Ray, the FBI director, have done little or nothing.
Makes you kind of wonder.
Do they approve of these uh thuggish authoritarian uh tactics, or are they turning a blind eye to it?
Maybe it's a little bit of of both.
What they're doing is they are instilling through intimidation and harassment fear in the American public.
Americans have come to fear the FBI.
They fear their government.
This is exactly what our founders wrote a constitution to prevent because they'd experienced this, the heavy-handed tactics of uh the British Crown using general uh search warrants.
And that's why they wrote in the Fourth Amendment forbidding general search warrants, and yet this magistrate in Florida signed off on a general search warrant.
That's why the FBI spent ten hours there ransacking the place, rummaging through everything, including Melania's closet, and they grabbed everything in sight.
And now Merrick Garland in his court filing on Monday admitted that they seized materials they were not entitled to have or look at.
Documents covered by attorney client privilege.
But you know, his attitude is well, don't worry about it.
You know, we have this filter taint team, and and you know, we don't need a special master because we've already looked at everything.
A little a little late.
Well, and and maybe the Trump team should have filed earlier.
We'll have uh Donald Trump's attorney coming up later in the program.
But uh great reporting, great analysis, Greg Jarrett, Kerry Pickett, thank you both as always.
We really appreciate your insight.
When we come back, we'll hit the phones toll-free.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we'll continue.
The one thing you can always count on.
Sean Hannity is back on the radio.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
800-941-SEAN.
If you want to join us, Linda, I said that certain things are gonna happen in the housing market months and months ago.
I told everybody what was going to happen.
Number one, I said new home construction would what?
This is a quiz.
Everything was gonna drop.
It was gonna come to a screeching halt.
And then I said sale of pre-existing homes, what would happen to that?
Everything was going to drop.
And then I said, and as a result of all of that, what will happen to home prices?
They were gonna drop.
Correct.
I have a theme.
Have you noticed?
Yeah, you're doing well so far.
Then I made a prediction, but some states will fare much better than others.
True or false.
This is very true.
Do you remember the states that I said would fare better?
Florida.
Florida, yes.
Florida, taxes.
Florida.
How do you say it?
Florida.
Flo Florida.
Uh, whatever.
Like I give up.
I don't know.
I don't know how you say it.
Florida, Texas.
We said Wyoming.
They might do okay.
Montana.
But I said Tennessee.
And I said, All the red states that believe in freedom.
So here's a headline today.
Looky here.
Oh, U.S. housing markets are slowing.
Is Florida the exception?
And this is what I was warning people about.
Is Florida the exception?
And the answer is it is going to be an exception.
And all of these states that are experiencing massive population growth as people just abandon New York and California and New Jersey and Illinois.
The population of these states are growing.
So even in these recessionary times, they will fare better.
And they're going to do well.
And people usually can sell their homes wherever they are and and get more and get more money, more value for their dollar, even if they're paying higher interest rates.
But for the most part, most people that have, you know, 2.8 fixed rate mortgages for 30 years, they're not going to give up that mortgage.
And they're not going to get a 7% fixed rate mortgage when they got a 3% or 4% one.
Why should they?
That's that's thousands of dollars more a month.
Um, let's get to our phones.
Uh let us say hi to George, he's in Florida, the free state of Florida.
George, hi, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, son.
My question is about the raid on Marilago.
Why can't the president Trump or Team Trump release all that information?
Or the do they not have it?
I'm not even sure that they have the full unredacted affidavit.
I don't think they do, because I think the Donald Trump has called for it to be released in total.
And I would imagine if he had it, he would have released it.
That's a good question, though.
That's that's crazy, isn't it?
Because um, yeah.
It's crazy that they relied on what news reports as part of their evidence uh that they think a crime could possibly have taken place.
And you know, and one of the things that we learned in in the little bit of unredacted material that existed is they relied on news sources, and more bizarrely, they're talking about obstruction of justice.
How is it that you'd even consider obstruction of justice when you didn't charge Hillary Clinton that destroyed thirty-three thousand emails?
Nobody in the country had ever heard of.
I've never heard of bleach pit.
I still don't even know what bleach pit is.
Um and having aides bust up blackberries and and devices with hammers and remove SIM cards, that would be obstruction.
But obviously it didn't meet the standard.
No prosecutor would prosecute, as as Jim Comey famously said.
So anyway, you ask a good question.
Uh Mary Alice, Virginia, Mary Alice, how are you?
Glad you called.
Thanks for having me on, Sean.
Um, I was actually talking with my husband last night, and it just I know kind of sort of the game, but it dawned on me, you know, these prices that are going up on all of these goods, they're never gonna come back down to what they were.
And it's a really defeating feeling of that, you know, the money that I make that I worked really hard to earn is I have less and less and less of it to put away for my kids' college.
So I don't know what what can you do in that instance?
It feels pretty defeating right now.
Look, I I'm I would love to say let not your heart be troubled, and I mean that.
I mean it these are going to be hard times.
There's no way around it.
When you're in the middle of a recession and you have a 40-year high of inflation, and gas prices are double what we were paying under the former administration, and all of this is was preventable, and there's no hope at all that Democrats are gonna reverse course and go back to the policies of Donald Trump, that means that pain and suffering is going to continue in one way, shape, matter, or form.
Now, all these farmers and all of these ranchers that have been calling my show and all of these truckers that have been warning us about a coming food shortage.
Well, when once there is a reduction in supply, because their yields are not as big, prices are going to go up even further.
Then of course you're still paying for the high cost of transportation, getting these goods to the stores that you shop at.
And so, yeah, you're you're you're right, prices will likely go higher.
I know people that are making decisions now with the understanding that things are going to be more expensive down the road.
I know people that are changing their dining uh habits.
And and maybe they used to eat steak twice a week, they're they're down to once a week.
Maybe they'll go to zero times a week.
And and maybe they're eating more in it, maybe they're eating beans and rice, which is very healthy.
It's got a lot of protein in it.
I don't like rice because it's got carbs in it, but uh beans are really healthy.
And they're gonna be looking people will look for different things to do.
You know, maybe these are just actually having this talk, maybe it's time it's an opportunity for families to change the way that they do things.
Maybe that could be the the bright light that we can find in it because it seems like it's really hard to find any at this point in time.
So hopefully the elections coming up will there'll be a a change of tide, but we need to win two elections to be very effective, though.
It's got to be this election and it's gotta be the next election.
Those two elections are critical for us.
In one sense, I didn't like the the way that Mitch McConnell made the comment that but he's right in his statement, winning the Senate is going to be harder.
Now, I am not deflated at all.
I'm not buying the hype that Joe Biden is making a sudden comeback, which is the narrative the media's trying to make.
His speech is already preordained for Thursday.
He's gonna talk about unity, and meanwhile he called half the country fascist.
So I really, his words are meaningless to me, and I don't think they're gonna have any impact on this race.
No Democrat that's running for office wants to be seen with a guy.
On a more personal level, the only thing I can tell you as somebody that started my adult life living paycheck to paycheck for many years.
There's only two ways you can survive financially.
One is to cut spending and save money, and two is to bring in more income.
You know, when I said that the last time, people got very angry with me.
Hannity's telling poor people they need to work harder.
Did you say Linda?
I don't know if you saw the headline.
Oh, yeah.
And that's how I was raised.
My mom worked 16 hour shifts in a prison as a prison guard.
My dad worked a full-time job and waited tables on the weekends.
That's how he brought in extra money.
That's the way I was raised.
That's what I'm speaking from my own experience.
And when I said that I work full-time while I was going through college, and then when I ran out of money, I was not going to take money that my parents didn't have and to pay for my college, although they were begging me and pleading with me to take it, I refused.
And I just I just worked my own way through it and did the best that I could.
And I'm saying that, you know, we that's why we can't afford and spend seven days, day seven, and the White House still can't explain who's going to pay for Biden's what the Wharton School of Business model says is what a trillion dollar student loan forgiveness program.
So I'm on a personal level, every family now is gonna have to make decisions.
I've been there, it's not comfortable.
It's sad to see, and it's sad for me to hear from my friends that work at the local food pantry that the lines are getting bigger every week.
And I mentioned that people, you know, they'll drive up in a nice car and you think, wow, do they really need the money?
The answer is yeah, because they didn't think this slowdown was coming.
They didn't think inflation would get this bad.
You know, they didn't think things would become so expensive, gas would be so expensive.
You know, wait till people start having to heat their homes this winter.
People can live without air conditioning a lot easier than they can without heat.
And um it's it's gonna these are gonna be rough times.
And the single best we could get out of this very simply.
If America made the decision to be energy dominant, we'd get out of it.
Elon Musk is saying this transition to renewables is great, but in the short term, we need fossil fuels.
That goes against his own business model to say that.
But he's smart enough to see the truth and tell people the truth.
Uh I don't see renewable energy as the major supply for any country in the next couple of decades.
This is a fantasy that they're living in.
It's not a fantasy, it's a nightmare.
And they created a nightmare.
And quite frankly, to your point, we didn't talk about that on that headline.
That was so disgusting.
The idea that we are discouraging so many of the fundamental things that made this country what they are.
You know, faith, nuclear family, uh pledging the allegiance, uh, working hard.
I mean, you know, you go into your local supermarket and you look at people and they are unable to function in everyday life.
Oh, no, every time I go to the supermarket, it becomes a town hall now.
And let me add one thing, Linda, because this is important.
You know, so Joe is on the verge of of rejoining this idiotic, imbecilic, stupid uh deal with Iran again.
And there's an article today, and I read this and it broke my heart.
It was on oilprice.com.
The way that Joe Biden is gonna get oil prices down is to make the mullahs in Iran rich again.
Quote, Iran is set to release 40 to 90 million barrels of oil as soon as the Biden nuclear deal is is approved.
So they'll free up billions of dollars of monies that they've not had access to since the you know, forever, and then they're gonna that we're gonna be importing oil from a country sworn to destroy us and to destroy Israel and make them richer so that they can couple their sick, twisted, evil ideology of convert or die with nuclear weapons.
Right, but can we can we narrow that down a little bit?
Can we put that even in more layman's terms for like people that are listening that may not understand because they're like, oh yeah, Iran nuclear deer, whatever.
No, no, no.
What you're not understanding is we're gonna take some oil from a country that killed American men and women and left children parentless.
And then we're taking money and food off the table of people that work in Pennsylvania and West Virginia and the Bach and all of the other places that they would ever be able to draw for oil and natural gas, not to mention the factor permits.
We have an opportunity to to supply Western Europe with all of their energy needs.
Every single one of them.
And we would be rich.
Anyway, Mary Alice, thank you for jump starting that discussion.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
Uh more of your calls, 800-941 Sean is on number at the top of the hour.
The president's attorney, President Trump's attorney.
Back to our busy phones.
Uh Linda is in Texas, another Linda, Linda Lelinda.
What's up, Linda?
Hi.
Hi.
Thank you for having me on.
I was calling just to agree with the debt forgiveness because I feel like parents need to be more responsible.
You know, you don't hear this anymore.
Start your college savings when the kids are born.
People are just depending on the government, in my opinion.
A lot of people that I talked to are very angry about this.
And you think about loan forgiveness.
Well, first of all, they have not told us how they're going to pay for it.
This is now day seven.
They're not giving an answer.
And we have now Kamala Harris was asked.
She dodges a question on how we're going to pay for the student loan handout.
You think of all the people that have gone into the trades.
There was an article, you know, that then they're not benefiting from this.
They're helping to pay for other people's colleges, and maybe they went into the trades because they couldn't afford college.
There's this uh an article in the New York Post today by Daniel Garza and how utterly unfair and how Hispanic Americans are outraged at Joe's student loan move.
And I'll read the beginning of it.
It says for many Latinos, obtaining an undergraduate degree is a dream come true.
About 21% have one.
Several million Latinos across our nation took a different path.
Instead, they started their own business.
They became certified in their trade or began a career all without a university degree.
And both paths have merit and can be celebrated, but President Biden's plan to cancel by executive fiat, he says order, roughly a you know, a half a trillion dollars.
Wharton says a trillion for people making as much as $125,000 a year, it's bad policy and bad politics.
And it's uh and he says it's unfair.
It's irresponsible because we're taking money from working men and women and they're paying for college for people making up to $125,000 a year, and I doubt they're making that much money, a lot of people that work in the trades.
I worked in the trades.
Anyway, I appreciate the call.
All right, when we come back, the president's attorney will join us, as well as John Solomon.
We're gonna update you on the very latest with the FBI and the DOJ.
And are they ever gonna clean up what should be the world's premier law enforcement agency?
It doesn't look like it under director Ray.
