To the new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news.
And more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Every time Joe Biden opens his mouth, he regurgitates something that is just mind-boggling.
Bewildering.
Confounding.
Why is that?
Well, it's because Joe is terminally confused.
He doesn't know who he is, where he is, what he's doing.
You know, and he keeps saying over and over again, they told me not to talk.
They told me I have to stop.
Who's they?
I mean, who's president here?
Obviously, his handlers are running the White House.
Uh, the leader of the free world is nothing but a puppet.
Clueless Joe.
And now he's vacay Joe.
Oh, he's in beautiful St. Croix.
You know, while, you know, Americans are suffering under a deadly winter storm.
Uh dozens and dozens of people killed.
Chaos at the border.
Inflation continues to rage.
People are forced to pinch their pennies, and you know, he flies off on Air Force One courtesy of taxpayers, and enjoys Sunny St. Croix.
Yeah.
Gotta love that.
I'm Greg Jarrett, filling in for Sean Hannity.
We've been talking in the last hour about the Twitter files and the overwhelming evidence of FBI corruption.
And the best part of filling in for Sean is I get to take your phone calls.
So give me a call.
I'm Greg Jarrett, Fox News Legal Analyst.
Our number is 800 941326.
I'm going to be talking to my friend and colleague, one of the best investigative reporters, John Solomon, in just a minute.
You can also follow me on Twitter at Greg Jarrett, G-R-E-G-G, J A R R E T T. Read my columns and find out about my two upcoming books at my website, thegregger.com.
Listen to my weekly podcast, wherever podcasts are found.
It is titled The Brief.
And in the last three episodes of the brief, I've been talking about the Twitter files.
One of the people I talk to routinely is John Solomon, who, as I say, is an intrepid investigative reporter.
The guy never sleeps.
He works uh relentlessly, and he breaks all kinds of news stories as he did during the Russia hoax, and he is still at it.
John Solomon is editor-in-chief of just the news.
You've got to get your news and information from just the news.
He's author of the book Fallout, a terrific book.
And John, thanks for being with us today.
Happy holidays to you.
Before we talk about the Twitter files and FBI corruption, which you know a great deal about, I want to talk to you about your recent story, and people can read it uh on your website, Just the News.
It's entitled D.O.J. Snooped on House Intelligence Committee Investigators during the Russia probe subpoenas show.
Talk to us about that.
Tell us what you found out.
Yeah, it's pretty extraordinary.
Five years ago this month, uh uh the Justice Department uh uh secured grand jury subpoenas in Washington, D.C. to get the phone and email records of two of then House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes' top investigators.
These were the investigators like Kash Patel who were leading the unraveling of the Russia collusion narrative.
And the the subpoenas are executed during a very sensitive time in the House Intelligence Committee's investigation.
It is right at this time that they learned that Hillary Clinton funded the bogus dossier.
It's right at this time that they learned that the FBI had lied to the FISA court and also omitted information from the FISA court.
They also had just learned that some of the informants that the FBI was using to target the Trump campaign had uh uncovered exculpatory evidence, evidence of innocence.
At that very moment when the House Intelligence Committee is getting a sense of just how bad the Justice Department and FBI's conduct has been in the Russia collision case.
The DOJ goes out, subpoenas Google, gets the phone and email data of at least two of the staffers.
There's a belief there may be more, but two of those staffers were notified this month that five years ago their records have been taken.
Why do they get notified?
Google has a five-year notification role, which is five years after we get a subpoena.
If we give up some of your records, we tell you.
And so Cash Patel and one other staffer got this notification in the mail just before Christmas.
This is an extraordinary intrusion on congressional oversight.
I I have talked to Democrats, Republicans, legal experts, uh, longtime congressional investigators, all of them mortified that this has happened, and that uh and they're all demanding answers.
And it looks like Jim Jordan is going to get those answers.
He promises this will be a major focus of his investigations in January.
So the DOJ decided to investigate the investigators who were investigating the DOJ.
Right?
You got it right.
That's exactly how it happened.
I mean, it's i the DOJ's snooping uh to use your term on the Intel committee came just weeks after that committee subpoenaed the DOJ, the FBI, and the CIA, to produce documents that show they knew that the dossier was phony and had been funded by a Hillary Clinton's campaign,
and that you know, the DOJ and the FBI had lied to the FISA court to gain lawless warrants to spy.
Do I have that about right?
You do.
Uh in fact, the uh uh when I first interviewed Devin Nunes about this after he learned about the the fact that his investigators had been targeted, he said they were spying on me.
They were just trying to find out what my investigators know.
Then he raised another very interesting question.
He asked why did they target their private emails?
If they were doing congressional work, why not target their congressional things?
He said, I think they were looking for dirt on me and my investigators to try to leverage us.
He actually accused them of running a blackmail operation, seeing if they could find anything that they could then use to pressure Nunes and his staffers to back off revealing this terrible data.
Pretty dramatic allegations by someone who ran one of the most important committees in Congress.
The nefarious Ron Rosenstein was basically the acting attorney general after Sessions Recused himself.
And there's a uh an infamous meeting, January 10th, 2018.
I well remember it because I was alerted to it immediately afterwards by somebody who attended the meeting.
And then I talked to two people who were in the meeting, and I reported it that Rosenstein had lost it during the meeting.
He was angry that the Intel committee wanted to see evidence of wrongdoing.
And Rosenstein was in cover-up mode, right?
And so Rosenstein becomes utterly unglued, starts yelling and screaming at the staffers, and threatens to subpoena their House Intel records in an act of retribution.
That's right.
And I, you know, I reported it, got a lot of heat for it, and sure enough, a couple of months later, others at Fox News corroborated it and confirmed my initial reporting of it.
But but that's apparently what Rosenstein did.
I mean, he he said he was going to subpoena House Intel Records.
He goes to a grand jury secretly, and he does exactly that.
And you know, the funny thing about it is I suspected this was going on.
And of course, I was uh writing a book about it.
So I was, you know, I was talking to sources, people associated with the Intel committee, and whenever I communicated with them, um I assumed in my texts and emails and even phone conversations that the FBI and the DOJ were listening in.
And you know, it looks like they probably were.
Yeah, now listen, that's the scary part here.
And what we don't know is what we don't know.
When you look at the subpoena that Cash Patel got where they unmasked his name as one of the people, it's a block about three and a half, four inches long, enough to probably have eight or ten other people's listed as potential targeting uh targets of the subpoena.
So uh Devin Nunez and Cash Patel and others have raised the possibility that there may be others who don't know yet, maybe haven't checked their Google email to find out that they too had their phone records or email taken.
This is a very, very scary scenario because what you have is uh uh our founding fathers always intended that Congress and executive branch have a separation of powers, that they couldn't spy on each other, they couldn't uh become hostile to each other, that they each would be able to work and have certain powers that couldn't be intruded upon by the other.
This is clearly an intrusion on the Congressional Oversight Committee, and there has been crickets.
The Justice Department, the FBI, Rod Rosenstein.
I've reached out to them multiple times.
They won't answer any questions about this.
We won't get the truth until we get Jim Jordan in action next year at the House Judiciary Committee.
But I think we're gonna find out a lot more about what was going on in that period and how just how far the executive branch feels its authority is to pry spy on Congress.
I think we're gonna learn a lot more next year about this, Greg.
My guest is John Stalloman.
He's gonna stick around for another block.
I want to talk to him about another of his blockbuster uh columns about Nancy Pelosi's role in the January 6th failed security, her direct role in it.
Uh we're gonna pause, take a quick break, uh, give us a phone call.
We'll be taking some of your calls this hour.
The number is 800-941-7326.
I'm Greg Jera.
The number is 9417326.
The Sean Hennedy show will be back in just a moment.
Welcome back.
I'm Greg Jarrett.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
I'm filling in for Sean today, and we're gonna be taking some of your calls shortly.
800 9417326.
You can talk to us about the Twitter files, which we uh delved into in great detail in the last hour.
But I want to go back right now to John Solomon, editor-in-chief of Just the News.
And John, um one of your most recent stories, you're always breaking stories, but this one uh is entitled House GOP Locates Emails and Texts showing Nancy Pelosi's office was directly involved in the failed January 6th security.
What did you learn?
Yeah, this is very important because in February of 2021, C Pelosi stood in front of the cameras during one of her weekly press conferences and said, I had nothing to do with airline security.
I have no control over the Capitol Police.
That simply isn't true.
By the way, mainstream media picked up on that and did all these truth watches, which are uh clearly debunked by the text messages that we have now made public that the House Republicans were five house lawmakers.
Um they did on their own with no committee, uh, with no budget.
They went and were able to secure these text messages, and what they show is that Pelosi staff was routinely meeting with um uh the security staff and the Capitol Police starting in early December 2020, right up to the hours before January 6th started.
They were involved on the plan, they were briefed in the security plan that failed that day.
They even edited some of the documents related to that um security plan.
They have their hands and fingers in this planning all along, contrary to what Nancy Pelosi said.
And in fact, uh one of the things that Nancy Posey said is well, there's a Capitol Police Board, they make the decisions when the final decision was made to belatedly summon the National Guard.
It wasn't the Capitol Police Board that made that decision.
Nancy Pelosi herself had the command and made that decision, signed off on that decision, clearly debunking what she told the American people 18 months ago.
She did have a significant role on her staff had a significant role crafting a plan that miserably failed to protect the Capitol.
Why why would it fail?
From January from December 21st, 2024, Capitol Police routinely and regularly received intelligence reports from the FBI, from the Homeland Security Department, from the District of Columbia police, and from the U.S. Marshall Service saying bad people were coming to Washington and were intent on doing bad things at the Capitol, specifically warning.
They wanted to storm the Capitol.
They wanted to target lawmakers.
They were going to invade the tunnels around the Capitol.
Much of the behavior that occurred on January 6th was being relayed as threat intelligence assessments to the Capitol Police going back to December 21st.
Despite all of that intelligence warnings, the security plan that was put together that day had no National Guard, had only a skeleton staff of police officers, many of them without uh riot gear available to them.
The security plan failed miserably, even though we give this police department, Capitol Police Department, six hundred million dollars a year to keep the Capitol uh safe.
And one of the things you learn in these text messages, Craig, the reason that the Capitol Police didn't get what they wanted, they were uh the political leaders around them kept saying they were worried about the optics.
They didn't like the optics of armed police officers protecting the Capitol.
They didn't like the optics of National Guard maybe walking around.
When you make security decisions, you don't make political optics decisions, you make security decisions.
These text messages show that they had the wrong standard for security, and that Nancy Pelosi and her team were directly involved in it.
So it's no wonder to me then, since Republicans were going to dig into this, uh, if they had been able to put their own members on the J6 committee, that Nancy Pelosi rejected their selections.
And this turned out to be a partisan stack committee, right?
Absolutely.
By keeping Jim Jordan and others off, they took away some of the best investigators Republicans could have on the committee and try to get the other side of the story, right?
There's a lot of here.
We know bad people did bad things that day.
We don't know uh, except for the good work that these five Republican lawmakers did after the fact, Jim Jordan and uh Rodney Davis among them, Troy Nels.
Uh, we don't really know why the police force failed so spectacularly.
We've known the Capitol has been a target for violence of terrorists and others for two decades, since 9-11.
We had a woefully unprepared uh uh group of police ready that day.
And I'll give you there's another anecdote I wrote.
Tell you what, John, it let me let me just have you hold that thought.
Stick around.
We'll be right back with John Solomon after the break.

I want to thank you for joining me today.
Be sure to give us a call.
We're going to be talking more in just a moment about the Twitter files.
1-800-941-7326.
That's 941-7326.
Back now with my guest this hour, John Solomon, editor in chief of uh just the news.
It's a terrific website.
Uh you've got to check it out.
Author of the book, Fallout, uh, also an excellent book that's still available.
You can get it in bookstores or online.
And John, we were talking a moment ago about your uh most recent story, uh, text messages, emails showing that Nancy Pelosi was directly involved in the failure of security on January 6th.
Didn't like the optics of, you know, armed officers and National Guardsmen visible to the public, even though she and others had been made aware that it could get quite dangerous that particular day.
And and you were about to tell me something, I had to interrupt you.
Please continue.
Yeah, it's an uh talking about the the poor security mindset.
We've known the Capitol is a target of terrorists and other bad people.
We've known it for a long time.
The day before the January 6th riots, believe it or not, there was another threat that came into the Capitol Police Department to the House Sergeant at Arms and the Senate Sergeant at Arms, who are the two political officers that report to um Nancy Pelosi and to Chuck Schumer.
And it said that there was a possibility that an airliner would be flown into the Capitol, a terrorist attack into the Capitol.
Not a single person was alerted in the Capitol to that new threat.
Not the leadership, not lawmakers.
Late at night on the fifth, before the rioting started, uh media started to report this threat, and all of a sudden, uh leaders started calling and saying, Hey, Capitol Police, Sergeant at Arms, what do you know about this?
And they're like, oh, yeah, we forgot to tell you about it.
There was this laissez faire security apparatus that didn't react to a plane threat or all the intelligence that suggested January 6th was here.
That security apparatus ultimately reported to the House Speaker.
Uh the failures here are enormous, and we just spent two years investigating January 6th without once really looking at all of the security failures, what could have Been done better by police, by the by the security officers that report to the speaker.
Hopefully in 2023, we not only get a better accounting of what happened, we start to put real fixes in so that the Capitol Building isn't going to be vulnerable in the future.
You know, and in the meantime, on January 6th, Nancy Pelosi have has her daughter following around with a camera to, you know, for a documentary to show how heroic Nancy Pelosi was that particular day.
That strikes me as a bit of a setup with advanced knowledge that they knew things were going to get out of hand and oh, let's show Ma let's show how brave mom is.
Yeah, the uh speaking of optics, those are bad optics, right?
They uh maybe they should have spent a little bit more time planning for the security and a little less time thinking about a political documentary.
Uh there are so many things that remarkably two years after this horrific event, we still don't know.
And I when I talk to people, members of Congress, I've interviewed many whistleblowers in the Capitol Police Department over the last few months.
They all tell me the same thing.
The Capitol is still not secure.
The mindsets, the bureaucratic bungling is still directly visible to us here, and nobody seems to care.
Nobody's taking uh uh notice of it or making actions to fix it.
I think that changes in January.
When you talk to people like Congressman Troy Nels or uh Jim Jordan, they have their eye on this, they're going to make this a big thing.
But for two years, Pelosi not only failed on January 6th, she made sure the committee that investigated that event wouldn't look at the very issues that fell on her watch on her capability to maybe do something to make the Capitol safer that day.
She commandeered the committee to avoid any uh embarrassment uh over her own failures that appear to be increasingly deliberate.
She could have stopped what was happening there and she didn't do it.
Uh I've heard people say, well, she probably wanted it to unfold as it did uh to further sully and damage Trump.
I don't know about that, but it's certainly a question that should be posed.
Uh I want to ask you about the Twitter files, because you've been covering it quite a bit.
Um there is now uh compelling evidence that the FBI pressured Twitter to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story in advance of the 2020 presidential election.
Black lists were composed, targeting vocal conservatives, critics of Joe Biden, disfavored treats, tweets were prevented from trending, account holders banished based on phony grounds.
Shadow banning was deployed as a political weapon.
Evidence proves that Twitter executives deplatform Trump, despite their private admissions that no legitimate basis existed for doing so, and is long suspected.
The FBI was playing an integral role in all of this, weren't they?
They were.
And it's important to note it was 231 years ago this month.
It was 231 years ago this December that the Bill of Rights was finally ratified.
And the very first protection it afforded was the protection of free speech, a declaration that the government could not use its power to infringe free expression.
We now have overwhelming evidence that government agencies, the FBI, the Homeland Security Department, several of the health bureaucracies all use their government power to pressure Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms to censor Americans'contents.
When this first came out, there were suggestions of it.
The FBI told us, we don't do this.
We only focus on foreign disinformation, foreign misinformation.
That is now been disproven.
The FBI set up a command center in San Francisco under the direction of a special agent named Elvis Chan that would routinely forward censorship requests to the social platforms.
He testified that he succeeded about 50 percent of the time in getting something taken down or action taken against a particular post.
And he also testified that the approval for this came from FBI headquarters, meaning every request that would come to him had the infrature of FBI headquarters approval before he sent it on to the social media companies.
This was a large, systematic operation.
It succeeded often.
There were clear examples of Americans that were targeted.
There was an example that Elon Musk released of an Indiana councilman, a Republican, who had his post about election integrity censored at the state.
the request of the FBI and others.
Homeland Security had a similar operation.
They uh outsourced it to a third party called the Election Integrity Partnership.
They were doing similar things across multiple federal agencies, massive amounts of requests were coming in to censor free speech in America.
Americans' opinions, uh sometimes uh uh them very truthful.
One of the things we learned on Monday was that accurate information about COVID was censored when it went against the narrative that Anthony Fauci and the health bureaucrats in Washington wanted.
So accurate information, Americans' free speech being targeted by the federal government, clearly a contravention of the very Bill of Rights and the First Amendment that our founding fathers gave us 231 years ago this month.
Well said.
Hey, John, uh let's take a couple of phone calls.
What do you say?
I'd love it.
All right, let's go to our phone lines.
Jason in North Carolina joins us now.
And Jason, thanks for hanging on for a while.
How are you?
Good.
Yourself uh I'll get right to it.
Uh bear with me while I lay this out.
Uh the Republicans have already said that they plan on investigating the Biden or the president, uh, and that's based off of the evidence they got off the laptop.
Groups have already formed to say that they're going to investigate them.
Hunter Biden, we know is under investigation for weapons and taxes in Delaware, if I'm correct, if I remember correctly.
Yeah, money laundering and fraud and bribery and you you name it.
Now he hasn't been charged yet.
Right.
So the question is, is there a possibility or the likelihood that if they do indict him in Delaware, that a judge could then seal evidence based from the computer, the laptop from health, based off of that, seal that and stop the Republicans dead in their tracks with an investigation.
Well, one of the things that I I think one of the reasons why the Department of Justice has been dragging their feet on bringing any criminal charges against Hunter Biden is it it offers them a uh a vacuous pretext so that when people start getting subpoenas to testify about you know the cover-up of Hunter Biden and Hunter Biden's influence peddling schemes themselves,
uh people would be able to say, well, there's a pending federal investigation, I can't talk about it.
What do you think, John?
Yeah, listen, we saw that in real action uh at the last time that FBI director Chris Ray was before Congress a few weeks ago.
He was asked several times about Hunter Biden.
Every time he said, I can't talk about it, it's an active investigation.
Can't talk about it.
Won't talk about active investigations.
So that that uh stiff arm uh was used regularly in the last few months of this past Congress, and I assume it will again in the next Congress.
Now, the one thing that can't be stopped is uh if something's already in the public, it can't be taken back out of the public laptop is clearly in the public.
And Congress can go and get other witnesses.
They could go maybe get the former business partners of Hunter Biden.
I would keep an eye on uh on Devin Archer, a former business partner, he's been convicted, he's about to go to jail.
He's the sort of guy that could potentially be flipped by Congress and give really incredible uh testimony because he was in contact with both Joe Biden and Hunter Biden during critical times in this scandal.
So the the Congress can go after other witnesses and try to force them to testify, but the the uh the FBI and the Justice Department are gonna almost always hide behind they can't talk about it, it's an active investigation.
Right.
Right.
And and I am convinced that is why the DOJ, not only do they not want to charge the president's son, because the evidence also implicates uh the president himself, but they just want to drag this thing out to avoid answering questions uh when Republicans take control and begin investigating and issuing subpoenas and asking uh uh inconvenient questions.
Uh let's take one more caller.
Doug joins us now from Kansas, where I live for a couple of years, met my wife there.
Doug, uh thanks for calling in.
What's your question or comment?
Well, I've been listening to you and I've listened to some other talk shows, And this kind of corruption's been going on at least for six years.
The Russia collusion, the misuse of FISA, the FBI, and everybody keeps saying the rank and file are okay.
When you lose, when a country loses, the Justice Department, you've lost the country.
The bureaucrats are able to do whatever they want.
My vote doesn't count because they suppressed the stories, and people were elected because the truth wasn't told.
Yeah.
You know, I don't see how we can just.
I mean, you wrote books, what happened.
I listen, uh, you're preaching to the choir.
Uh John, what do you think about that?
Well, listen, what one of the most interesting dynamics.
I've been covering the FBI for 30 years as a journalist.
Uh, maybe in that time, I've covered seven or eight whistleblower uh whistleblowers who came forward with information about the FBI lab or about 9-11.
There are 20 rank and file FBI agents and FBI employees who, in the last six months, have come forward.
That's more than I've seen in my entire career in a six-month window.
Coming forward, talking to Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson, Chuck Grassey, and some other lawmakers now that I've learned about 20 in a few months.
That's more than I've seen in 20 or 30 years of my reporting.
I think the rank and file, the very first uh uh people that the callers talk about, they are agitating.
They have finally become so disgusted that they can't do their job that they're willing to risk their careers.
I interviewed Steve Friend, the agent who's almost certainly going to be fired for going public.
He laid out all of the potential civil rights abuses that went on during the January 6th investigation.
There are FBI agents and Justice Department employees for the first time having the gumption to come forward, risk their jobs and say we're gonna blow the whistle on what we've observed over the last five or six years.
Yeah.
My guest has been uh this hour, John Solomon, editor in chief of Just the News, uh author of the book Fallout.
John, thanks so much for being with us.
Uh to our listeners, be sure to check out uh John's important uh website, just the news for a lot of investigative pieces and great analysis.

We're gonna pause, take a quick break.
I'm Greg Jarrett, filling in for Sean Hannity.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity show.
I'm Greg Jarrett.
Uh, we've been talking about the Twitter files, and in just a moment, uh, in the next hour, I'm going to be talking to James Comer, Congressman from Kentucky, who will be heading up the oversight committee, which will be immensely important.
There are a great many things that need to be investigated, not the least of which is FBI corruption, identified not only by FBI whistleblowers, more than a dozen who have stepped forward, uh, but the FBI's corrupt role in violating the First Amendment by pressuring and coercing and manipulating Twitter and other social media companies into killing the Hunter
Biden laptop story just before the last presidential election, uh, apparently to protect Joe Biden, falsely claiming it was Russian disinformation when the FBI well knew that it was not.
Uh, there are also going to be investigations into the Afghanistan debacle uh and school board meetings and counterterrorism and criminal actions involving that, the origins of COVID-19, the list goes on and on.
James Gomer will be joining us in just a moment.
