Thank you, Senator Johnson and Chairman
0:03
Grassly. Thank you for your leadership
0:04
uh in making this happen. This is an
0:07
extraordinary revelation that just took
0:09
place this afternoon. My colleagues and
0:11
I found out all of us Republicans, by
0:13
the way, that we were placed under
0:14
investigation by this FBI under the Joe
0:16
Biden FBI that uh was led, I presume, by
0:20
Jack Smith and his predecessors. This
0:22
isn't the first time that it's happened,
0:23
though. Senator Johnson just mentioned
0:24
this. I served on the Trump transition
0:27
team in Trump Tower in 2016. Senator
0:30
Blackburn was vice chair of the
0:32
transition committee then as were
0:34
probably a dozen or more members of
0:36
Congress. To think that we were
0:38
surveiled by the Obama FBI. This
0:41
corruption run deep runs deep and it's
0:44
gone on for far too long. and the fact
0:47
that it's happened here again, the fact
0:48
that they are looking at our records in
0:50
2023, sitting members of the United
0:52
States Senate. Again, the only thing
0:54
that we have in common, the only thing
0:56
in common in this entire list is that
0:57
we're all Republicans.
1:00
They've decided to come after us. This
1:01
is as partisan as it gets. The FBI and
1:04
the corruption that's running there has
1:05
to be cleared out. Thank God we have
1:07
Cash Patel and Dan Bonino there. This
1:10
has to be addressed. It has to be
1:11
resolved. It needs to happen today.
