Is this the smoking gun?
0:03
Well, it is. It's something pretty hot.
0:06
I'll say that. Listen, you have now the
0:08
former general counsel, the former chief
0:10
lawyer to James Comey saying, "I leaked
0:13
classified information." He tells a
0:15
federal agents and prosecutors. And I
0:17
did so at the instruction of uh James
0:21
Comey's chief of staff who told me James
0:23
Comey authorized me to go do this. We
0:25
now have a really significant evidence
0:29
trail that James Comey may have result
0:31
had national security information leaked
0:33
to the American public just before the
0:35
election, putting his finger potentially
0:37
on the scale of the election. Uh and
0:39
what's important about this is that
0:41
knowing and willful leaks like this uh
0:44
if they have a negative effect on the
0:46
national interest, the security of the
0:47
country, they can be prosecuted up to 10
0:49
years, which makes this October 2016
0:52
leak that the FBI was able to that the
0:54
investigators and prosecutors able to
0:56
confirm still prosecutable until next
0:58
October of 2026. Pam Bondi said, I heard
1:01
I just heard what she said. She said in
1:02
the show today, no one should be allowed
1:04
to jeopardize national security. There
1:06
will be accountability. Cash Patel
1:09
saying that this was a stain on the FBI
1:11
uh and one that now has to be fully uh
1:13
transposed. When you look at the
1:14
investigation, Sean, which by the way
1:16
occurred, a lot of it occurred during uh
1:18
Trump's first uh term in office. Uh
1:21
really weak uh work by prosecutors and
1:24
uh people working on this. They had a
1:26
chance to go get emails that would show
1:28
what Comey and his people were talking
1:29
about. They didn't go secure them. They
1:31
didn't bring a lot of people before the
1:32
grand jury. Uh there is room for Pam
1:35
Bondi and Cash Patel right now to open a
1:38
criminal investigation, get new
1:39
evidence, and help the American people
1:41
see just how bad this might have been.
1:44
Is this part two? Because there was the
1:46
issue of the Colombia professor. Was
1:48
that classified material as well?
1:50
Sure.
1:52
Yeah. Listen, I want to credit uh
1:54
Attorney General Bondi and Director Cash
1:56
Patel because I made a request to have
1:58
this information unredacted. Uh it was
2:01
redacted in the first production. We saw
2:02
the stuff about Mr. Richmond. We saw the
2:04
stuff about Adam Schiff, right? We know
2:06
that's the other person who was
2:08
identified as likely authorizing illegal
2:11
um national security leaks. Uh but this
2:14
was originally redacted and the attorney
2:16
general went to the mat for us to go get
2:18
this information so we can see it. And
2:19
when you see it now, you see its
2:21
significance. Remember James Comey was
2:24
questioned uh astutely by Senator Chuck
2:27
Grassy in the Judiciary Committee May
2:28
3rd, 2017. Did you ever be were you ever
2:31
anonymous source? No. Did you ever ask
2:33
someone to be anonymous source? No. Did
2:34
you ever uh authorize a leak of
2:37
classified information to declassify
2:39
something so it could go to a reporter?
2:41
Never. No. Um those words are now going
2:45
to potentially be looked at as a
2:47
potential obstruction of Congress. Uh
2:49
and this statute of limitations and the
2:51
possibility of a conspiracy case. James
2:53
Comey faces a potentially a very serious
2:56
matter right now.
2:58
It's uh I think the attorney general's
3:00
response to my question was very
3:01
revealing.
