With the surprise indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, Sean Hannity leads an in-depth discussion featuring Oversight Project President Mike Howell and Trump attorney David Schoen. Hannity frames Comey's charges false statements and obstructions a turning point after years of what he calls âa never-ending witch hunt against Donald Trump. The guests highlight the long-running conflicts, the role of Lindsey Halligan in securing the indictment, and the broader implications for DOJ credibility and future accountability. This matters because it raises critical questions about political weaponization of justice, media hypocrisy, and whether this case sets a precedent for transparency and truth at the highest levels of government.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Well, we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be in fire.

And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
I fear that we will not have an election in 2028.
I really mean that.
And the core of my soul, unless we wake up.
My heart is broken for the Department of Justice.
But I have great confidence in the federal judicial system, and I'm innocent.
Let your rage fuel you.
Every time we hear a new story, we let it fuel us.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming to your city.
Don't play out guests and say new consciousness.
Sean Hannity Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Hour two Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, uh a lot of developments as it relates to the indictment or the reckoning of James Comey and his actions and the actions of deep state operatives.
What the FBI director Cash Battle has said is there is a full complete investigation that is ongoing into what he's calling a grand conspiracy, starting all the way from no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute uh James Comas Comey famously saying or infamously saying in July of 2016, uh he using Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for dirty Russian disinformation dossier uh to sign not one but three PISA warrants.
As a matter of fact, Carter Page will join us on Hannity tonight.
His life was ruined as a result of this, but it was also a backdoor to everything Trump world.
Uh and you you put this all together, you know, pre-bunking the the Hunter laptop that they had verified as authentic in March of 2020.
They spend the whole summer of 2020 pre-bunking it with big tech companies and social media companies.
You might be victims of disinformation about Hunter and Joe Biden.
Then weaponization, the double standard.
No liberal cared about, well, nobody arrested Hillary Clinton or or Joe Biden for top secret classified information.
But let's go through Baron Trump and Mel Melania Trump's clause closet when they had full access to Mar a Lago.
Uh it's getting more and more interesting.
You know, we have burn bag information, declassified information.
You know, we know, for example, that that career senior Intel officials after the 2016 election, that they had ascertained that there was no that Russia Trump interference in the election.
And then, according to the declassified materials of Tulsi Gabbard, uh, then it was Barack Obama himself that ordered a new intelligent assessment.
That is highly unusual.
Uh then you have just over the weekend breaking, you know, the John Solomon story that the FBI had secretly placed against all rules, regulations, protocols, and standards, 274 agents into the crowd on January 6th.
You know, the the one riot that Democrats only want to talk about.
They'll ignore the 574 that killed dozens of Americans, injured thousands of cops, and caused billions in property damage.
Uh, President Trump even saying Sunday, because the then FBI director, Christopher Ray, uh, in fact, said multiple times that that did not occur.
And the president said Sunday that that Christopher Ray engaged in inappropriate behavior during his tenure, adding that he would think that the Justice Department might be investigating him.
And they may be, I have no idea.
Cash Patel went on to say that these agents were sent into the crowd to control, the crowd control of mission after the FBI, you know, had heard that a riot had been declared by Metro Police.
But he also pointed out that goes against FBI protocols and standards.
And, you know, this whole issue of, you know, is this retribution against Comey?
No, is it a case of people abusing their power?
Well, one person that can attest to all of this, our friend Jason Chaffetz, former congressman from Utah and author of They Are Coming For You, How Deep State Spies and NGOs and Woke Corporations Plan to Push You Out of the Economy.
He put out an ex-post this weekend pointing out that's super important in the Comey case.
From the IG report, Comey was asked under oath to be authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports.
And Obama appointed inspector general that's Michael Horowitz determined that Comey violated applicable policies in his FBI employment agreement by providing one of the unclassified memos that contained official FBI information including sensitive information investigative information to his friend with instructions to the friend to share the contents of the memo with a reporter.
Anyway Jason Chaffetz how are you sir?
Hey, glad to join you, Sean.
Let's talk about overall the reckoning, I think, of Comey's making, as Miranda Devine called it in the paper today.
Yeah, well, he earned this one.
I want it to come sooner or later because I just want the truth to surface.
And there's enough truth out there that we know now that we're able to put it together.
You know, in real time, when I was there in Congress, chairman of the Oversight Committee, and we're swearing in and having these, you know, Director Comey and others before the committee, you couldn't quite see it.
But there were points where you just thought he wasn't being candid, he was hiding things.
But, you know, those were suspicions at the time.
But what we could piece together is that, yeah, there was $10 million, roughly, from the Clinton campaign that did go overseas and to create this so-called dirty dossier.
I think later they came back, the Federal Election Commission, and dinged them for how they did that, mislabeling it.
So again, another deceptive move.
But this, you got to remember, we had multiple cases where there were leaks coming out of the FBI.
They were going one direction.
They were all affecting an election.
And some of those were pointed out by the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
And of course, the DOJ would never prosecute.
They immediately dismissed them.
But I'm glad those were in writing from the Inspector General.
And I I think that's an important point of the case it's it's not some Republican saying this is the inspector general saying this.
It's between the the Durham report Michael Horowitz report the failed you know special prosecutor crossfire hurricane and and Muller's inability to find anything against Donald Trump if they could have found something they would have found it would they not?
Yeah they would have been all over that in our beat I mean it's along the way they were essentially making it up and stealing it and they were enticing other people you know the ones that bothered me were people like Adam Schiff and they would they would go out to the cameras and say look I have a classified clearance I'm on the intel committee.
I've seen it first hand well we know what an incredible deceptive lie that was you had good people like John Radcliffe and Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes and and others and on staff there, Cash Patel, they would go back out and say that is not what we heard.
That is not the testimony that was happening the Adam Schiff and alike were making this up again to totally affect an election and how they aren't and again then they could use the autopen right to get a an immunity agreement but I think we're going to find with the autopen is that was bogus.
That was bogus and it's it's not authorized.
And I think these people are still in legal jeopardy if you know the White House and Department of Justice would get their act together on the autopen.
What do you think should happen there?
Because you're right, one of the recipients of those preemptive pardons was Adam Schiff himself, as we affectionately call him on this show, the congenital liar.
Well, I they have to do a uh a more thorough job of proving um how that autopen was used.
I think James Comer, the chairman of the oversight committee is doing a great work.
He's bringing them in one at a time.
He's getting them under oath.
Some of them are pleading the fifth.
Some of them, like Nera Tandon, are are revealing shocking things.
The staff secretary not seeing the president for upwards of six weeks, relying on uh memos, internal memos, supposedly with you know signatures or or initials, but if those memos don't match up exactly verbatim with what was actually put into the auto pens, then I would argue that it's invalid.
Those types of things are gonna have to be adjudicated and they're not gonna be swift, but they should be happening right now, as best they can tell they're not.
Do you see the possibility for superseding indictments in the case of Comey?
Because none of this touches, for example, the fact that they they never were able to verify the dirty dossier, and they knew that it was proven false.
Wasn't Christopher Steele out by December of twenty sixteen?
And and didn't didn't people like Comey, you know, still sign those Pfizer warrants, and wasn't the bulk of information in those Pfizer warrants presented to a Pfizer court, wasn't it the dirty dossier?
I think what needs to happen is the Department of Justice needs to make a referral.
I it should happen anyway, but if they want to be official about it, make a referral to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, uh Justice Roberts.
He is the one that oversees the Pfizer court.
If they have information now, which I know they do, that shows that these so called FISA warrants were invalid because they were not verified.
Essentially, that's the same thing as saying Director Comey and others that potentially had signed those, but specifically to Director Comey, the allegation is they lied to the court.
Now, Sean, you and I have talked about this multiple times.
You and I lie to court, we're going to jail.
How many other judges in the country will put up with that?
But so so far it's been stone cold silence.
If you know that a director of the FBI lied to the court, how come the court is doing nothing about it?
And DOJ needs to make that recommendation.
Well, I'd like to see all of it.
What do you make about the president and the comments by Director Ray on the issue of sending in FBI agents, 274 of them, and apparently going and saying that he had never done that and didn't know they were there.
Hey, look, I'm glad we got Cash Patel there now to uncover this and reveal this.
That is absolutely shocking.
You Director Ray was given every single opportunity to be candid to answer that.
I think it is deceptive at best to suggest that he didn't know about that.
Um more and more, this just looks so fundamentally wrong.
274?
Are you kidding me?
That opens up a whole nother avenue that needs to be further explored.
Yeah, we you know, we had heard reports of one too in their focuses on specific names, but hundreds of people that were there, what did they do?
If they know that there's a crime happening or something illegal is happening, they have a duty and obligation to stop it.
But no, were they instigating it?
Were they were they conduits to making it happen?
What was the overall goal and objective?
There are people out there that know that, and they need to get to the bottom of that.
Well, and what Cash is saying, it's not even the purpose of of special agents to ever be a part of of riot control.
That's not their job.
Yeah.
Uh again, this totally out of protocol, totally out of the norm, uh for significant political gain for the Democrats.
Um, and and I think that's again, I'm I I think Cash Battle and Dan Bon Gino for that matter, they got their hands full in sorting that out.
That number's out there now.
I want to hear the the um hear them go the step further.
They need to bring those people in one at a time, and they need to start understanding and getting them under oath and having them tell and describe exactly what the instructions were.
Why were they selected?
What were they supposed to do?
What was their goal and objective?
And that that there will be some people in there, I think, that will give some honest answers.
Quick break more with our friend Jason Chaffetz.
He's a former congressman, author of They're Coming For You, How Deep State Spies, NGOs, Woke Corporations, Plan to Push You Out of the Economy.
Then your call's coming up as well, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
Keeping the truth alive.
Hannity is on right now.
All right.
We continue with Jason Chaffetz, former congressman, author of the book, They're Coming for You.
How deep state spies, NGOs, and woke corporations plan to push you out of the economy.
Then we'll get to your calls coming up.
800-941 Sean this Monday.
What about what Cash is discussing?
This grand conspiracy that from the moment that Donald Trump and Melania Trump came down that escalator, there has been, you know, deep state operatives as we refer to them that have done everything humanly possible to undermine Donald Trump.
First, for example, the dirty dossier was used as the basis for a Pfizer warrant.
Uh, but that dossier was designed to defeat Donald Trump in the lead up to the 2016 election.
Then when it didn't happen, then we have career senior intel officials.
Well, they make an assessment that there was no Trump Russia collusion.
Barack Obama, according to the classified information, doesn't believe in it.
And they debunked the very real laptop that they had verified as authentic.
Then you have four years of weaponization.
Is this a systemic issue of deep state operatives putting cinder blocks on the scale of an election?
I really, I really do.
Unfortunately, I'm I really do think so.
And and look, uh the people that were there in real time, Cash Patel.
Remember, Devin Nunes um was the chairman of the Intel committee, and he was just on the uh over the weekend on with Maria Bardaromo and talked about this grand conspiracy.
He's also happens to be currently the chairman of the president's in um intelligence advisory board called the PIAB.
So he would have some insight to this.
The fact that you're hearing multiple people talk about this leads me to believe that they aren't they aren't just throwing that out there, they are foreshadowing where this is going.
And and there are other characters that I think are going to be brought into that, including Hillary Clinton herself.
Um Mark Elias um might be part of that, just a guest, the attorney.
Um and then you also have people like Jack Smith, um, who, you know, why did they do that raid on on Marlogo?
Why what was the instruction there?
What was the communication?
These are things that only the DOJ and the FBI can look at, but now that there are people that are going to be more objective, I think we're gonna start to figure that out.
In addition to Clapper, Comey, you know, and and the other casty characters.
All right, Jason Chaffetz, appreciate your time.
800-941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
New York Post report, left-wing terror attacks are on track to hit record highs this year.
Democrats accused of inflaming tensions with their rhetoric against the Trump administration.
Uh words do have impact.
They have consequences by any objective measure.
Hitler, Stalin, fascist, you know, uh, Mussolini, racist, sexist, it just goes on and on and on, never stops.
And anyway, it's uh we saw lefty slam for celebrating a fugitive Activist uh Asada Shakur who uh executed a New Jersey state trooper Chicago teachers union facing backlash after posting a tribute honoring this guy that killed this state trooper, if you can believe it.
You know, there's a viral video, I believe we have the woman on TV tonight of a woman who's just doing a man on the street interview, pro life activist, and then gets sucker punched in the face, uh, you know, knocked her out, gave her a black eye for a week, and anyway, this woman that punched her is uh, you know, it's for no reason at all.
She didn't have to answer a question.
She could have said no, thank you and moved on.
Uh she was charged with second degree assault, but prosecutors dismissed the case in July when they failed to turn over evidence on time.
I mean, this is D.A. Alvin Bregg.
You think he would do that for a conservative?
Now, with all of what is happening around the country and all the violence, you know, uh that is happening around the country, and we saw more violence in Michigan this weekend, etc.
Uh, and elsewhere, you know, you have to w uh you know, wonder.
Donald Trump has decided that he's going to restore law and order and safety and security.
He understands what we've been saying.
It is a prerequisite if you want to pursue happiness.
Uh, let's go to Portland, Oregon, where protesters are clashing with law enforcement that are there to protect innocent people.
Listen.
That's stupid!
I'm gonna go back to your p***!
*BEEP* *YOU* *BEEP* YOU!
*BEEP* *BEEP* YOU!
*BEEP*
Pretty unbelievable.
Well, it's not only Portland, but the president trying to help out Chicago for years since Obama first became president.
We've scrolled the names, names most people have never heard of before, but you know, supposedly every life matters, but not if they can't weaponize it politically, especially against Donald Trump uh or Republicans.
And uh, but it's gotten so bad you can predict on any s any given weekend how many people will be shot and shot and killed in Chicago, and there's there's not been a single Democratic politician in this blue state, blue city, that has had the desire, the willingness, the common sense to protect innocent lives.
Here are Chicago protesters class clashing with law enforcement.
Two weeks ago, you were a f***ing bull cop, you piece of s***.
Oh, you little f***.
You got a little pay raise.
Nice low costum.
You're not here for it.
You're wearing camouflage.
You're wearing camouflage.
What you're doing is let's keep the murder, the shootings, the death, the dying, the suffering continuing.
Remember that that little uh that young girl that was killed in her grandmother's backyard, or our friend Gianno Caldwell lost his brother.
I mean, and and those are just a few of the names we know.
I scrolled names and it goes on and on and on and on and on.
Anyway, let's get to our phones.
Uh let's go to Illinois.
Let's say hi to John on the Sean Hannity show.
Hi.
Hi, Sean.
I don't believe that President Trump is the biggest victim of the weaponization of our justice departments in both state and federal.
I believe that's the American people.
That's who they're actually targeting.
They're trying to take away our way, our American way of life.
Well, Trump is the face of that.
I don't want to play I don't want to play linguistical, you know, gymnastics with you.
Um, but I you I but I think technically we're on the same page.
Yeah, I I agree with that.
And you know, I do agree that Trump was a target, but I think that they're they're targeting him to shut up the uh rest of the conservatives, because they figure if they can get to him, then they could get to anybody.
Uh I yeah, I mean, and I think that's what all the weaponization has been about.
I think you're dead on right.
And I I look, let me play for you, Devin Nunes.
He was on this weekend uh with Maria Burteromo, and how this Comey indictment should be the first part of this grand conspiracy about against about two dozen people that he's identified.
Here's what he said.
He will be lucky if there is not a grand conspiracy charge brought, which is really what should be brought against probably about two dozen characters uh in the United States uh over the last seven, eight years.
The larger part is whether or not you can bring a a kind of grand conspiracy case.
And you know, people talk about you know, there's the the law, which is you know lying to Congress, lying to the FBI, but there's also a term in there called misleading.
And what a lot of these guys did is they made up things using intelligence that didn't exist, but acted like they knew something that actually wasn't there.
Okay, not wrong.
Now, I'll gonna add one other thing and let you respond, John in Illinois, and that is when I asked Cash Patel the question about a grand conspiracy, which I've laid out in great specificity in detail and was just talking to Jason Chaffetz about.
But there's been a lot of talk and a lot written about the the investigation into a grand conspiracy to the extent possible.
What can you tell us about that?
In other words, that this is longstanding.
If it is in fact a grand conspiracy, the statute of limitations would be eliminated.
Um is that what the investigation is about?
Well, Sean, what we're doing is building a case for the American public under the truth and transparency and accountability initiative.
And what I mean by that is A. G. Bondy brilliantly highlighted our partners, Director Ratcliffe at the CIA and Director Gabbard over at the DNI.
We are working with them because the documents that would facilitate an investigation of this magnitude don't just rest at the FBI and DOJ.
They're throughout the intelligence community.
Okay.
Makes sense, John.
That's where I think it's headed.
I think that's what Devin is suggesting.
And uh I think that's what JD Mann said.
I think that's what Pam Bondi is saying.
And I agree with that totally, but that brings me to my another point that I said over and over, and it kind of aggravates me when people say the far left party of the Democratic Party.
There is no far left.
They're all that way.
It's just that the new generation coming up wants to say who they are.
The other ones, your Chuck Schumers and your Nancy Pelosi's, try to hide what they've always been.
Great point.
Uh thank you, John.
800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
Tony in Seattle.
Hey, Tony, how are you?
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
I'm good, sir.
Glad you called.
Excellent.
Hey, I was wondering why are we not looking at the Pfizer court judges that signed off on these four Pfizer warrants.
It just seems like when we start from the bottom, we get more going to the top instead of starting from the top, going to the bottom.
The most revealing moment, and we played this last week, was Lindsey Graham asking everybody that signed those Pfizer warrants.
There were four of them over a year's period of time.
And actually Carter Page is going to be on tomorrow night on Hannity.
And uh that ruined his life, backdoored into the Trump administration campaign, transition team, etc.
And all of them, oh, knowing what we know now, we would never would have signed it.
Very revealing is because I I would argue, based on my timeline, I see it very differently.
Is that they did know and they didn't care, except they got caught.
That's my take about it.
Yeah, they see the news and they know that it's doing, but they still sign the Pfizer warrant.
It just doesn't make any sense.
And these people have an oath to the govern, you know, to uphold the law.
But the but they never went back to the Pfizer court as the law requires and said what the information presented to you was inaccurate.
They were supposed to do that immediately upon getting knowledge that what they presented was false.
Right.
And they didn't do it.
All right, my friend, appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, uh let us say hi to Josh in Georgia.
Hey Josh, how are you?
Hey, Sean, how you doing?
Hey, the other day you were talking about how uh you received a lot of professional flack from some of the other voices on the conservative side for promoting Trump early on before anyone really knew uh for sure if he was gonna do what he said.
And uh, I remember it because in 2015 I had just left active duty and uh I'd known you before as a kid in high school and uh as a politics major in college.
I used to listen to you on Fox all the time, all the way back in the Hennade and Combs days.
Um, but then you became a part of my life again on my drive home from work in uh 2015, and you were saying, hey, I've spoken to this guy, I've met with him, I've vetted him.
He is who he says he is, he does what he says, and he says what he means.
And I didn't believe you at first.
I voted for someone else in the primary, because you know, like like you said, other people were saying, uh, why are we gonna vote?
You know, the we don't know who this guy is other than that he's a uh TV show host and a real estate mogul from New York, and like a lot of the country, I was like, hey, if he's from New York, he's probably automatically liberal.
Uh, you know, I don't know.
I don't know.
And um, you know, so uh I don't think you get enough credit uh for being for promoting Donald Trump and figuring it out before the rest of us, you know, and now um over a dozen years later, you know, it's turned out that um you were right all along, and I put a lot more stock in uh who you promote uh as a candidate uh ever since uh you were proved right, you know, ten out of ten on uh making that call, sir.
Well, I'm gonna tell you something that is concerning me about our movement now.
Uh we had, you know, the peace and the details on a peace plan for Gaza and for the Middle East today.
There has been unfortunately not only a rise of anti-Semitism within the halls of Congress and on college campuses, and we've seen this movement grow worldwide.
And even among now some conservative voices in the country.
And you know, uh th there's no reason to I didn't get into a fight with Glenn Beck who attacked me for years or I don't know, who else did it.
Um Ben Shapiro.
I mean, I can go through a list, and I hold nothing against anybody.
I really don't.
I'm too busy with my own life to really care what they're doing.
But I can tell you right now, I'm I'm having a hard time, you know, listening to this developing attack against Israel.
And I'm not really sure why there's any moral ambiguity among some of the people that are in our movement.
Now, I am a believer in Reagan's ad admonition that if somebody's 80% on your side, that they're not your enemy.
However, and when it comes to moral clarity and those that did not want or did not see the imperative to take out the Iranian nuclear sites or those that have been pressuring Israel uh to end this conflict early and and not defeat their enemy after they lost the equivalent based on their population size versus ours,
what would have been the equivalent of 40,000 dead Americans in a day, and their citizens being raped and their citizens being kidnapped and their citizens being decapitated.
My message to Israel is go win your war and and then we can talk peace.
If we're at that point now based on the the statements of Prime Minister Netanyahu and the president today, I'm hopefully we're there.
But you know, there's been inordinate pressure on Israel not to win their war.
And I think they ought to be able to defend their homeland.
I'll give you the last word.
I agree with you 100%, Sean.
It it really I don't get this sense, I don't get this concept that somehow they're losing the moral high ground by going too far in retaliation for something that you know they're not the ones that are that are uh tying children up and burning them alive.
And really for them to stop short of ending the threat permanently of making sure that that radical terrorists are not living within their own borders and plotting to commit further atrocities is there there is no moral gray ground.
I mean, what what year is this?
If it does feel a lot like uh it's rhyming with the 1940s, and I'm with you, like they they need to uh prosecute their war to win, not for half measures.
