0:00
Well, Dan, throughout the Russia
0:02
collusion story and the rest, look, I
0:04
can speak to the folks that were in our
0:06
seats, our predecessors, and they
0:08
intentionally failed the American public
0:10
by putting on the biggest DC deception
0:12
game we've ever seen. They said the FBI
0:15
was the most storied institution for law
0:17
enforcement. And it was, and it will be
0:20
again very soon. But when the likes of
0:22
Comey and McCabe and Stro and company
0:25
came in here with the James Bakers of
0:26
the world and intentionally lied to a
0:28
federal court only to rig a presidential
0:31
election by lying to the American public
0:33
and using taxpayer dollars likely
0:35
illegally to fund this entire operation
0:38
and then withhold exculpatory
0:40
information from a federal court that I
0:42
used to appear to manhunt terrorists.
0:44
That's what broke the FBI. And then when
0:47
they were caught, they lied about it.
0:49
and you and a few others like Dan and
0:51
others were brave enough to cover it
0:53
six, seven, eight years ago and we're
0:55
still talking about it today because as
0:57
Congress is working rigorously with us,
0:59
the Crossfire hurricane documents are
1:00
coming fast and hard and they're being
1:02
sent there unredacted so we can have
1:05
full accountability and that's how you
1:07
restore what the the trust that was lost
1:10
um to the American public when it comes
1:11
to the FBI. Yeah, but come on, director.
1:13
With all due respect, we've been talking
1:15
about this for a long time and I've been
1:17
demanding accountability for many, many
1:19
years. One of the you mentioned Comey,
1:21
Stro, and the rest. They've got TV
1:23
shows, they've got media platforms,
1:25
they're fine. There's been no
1:27
accountability. Well, look, it's a fair
1:28
criticism, but what I will tell people
1:30
is we weren't here in the FBI in the
1:32
last 5 years when we had statute of
1:35
limitations that were still in play
1:36
where we could have investigated
1:38
criminal conduct. Most of these statute
1:39
of limitations are 5 years old. and we
1:41
will investigate criminal conduct where
1:43
we find a righteous case to do so and
1:46
the law and the facts allow us to. But a
1:48
lot of it we're procluded from. So we'll
1:50
take the criticism and it's rightfully
1:51
so. Like could we have done more in the
1:53
past? Sure people before us could have.
1:56
But what we can do now is continue to
1:59
put out the documents and the
2:00
information that these people withheld
2:02
from the American public. And I'm just
2:03
telling you right now, as much as we
2:05
know about Crossfire Hurricane, he and I
2:07
just found out more last week. and we're
2:09
continuing to work with Congress to put
2:11
those documents out. That's how
2:13
vindictive and vicious the former
2:15
leadership structure here was. Not only
2:17
did they bastardize the FISA process in
2:19
light of the American public, they
2:21
withheld and hid documentation and put
2:23
it in rooms where people weren't
2:24
supposed to look. And it's a good thing
2:26
we're here now to clean it up. And
2:28
you're about to see a wave of
2:29
transparency. What do you mean? In just
2:31
give us about a week or two. Okay. Well,
2:34
well, I can tell you right now that the
2:36
judge that gave us smack on the rip
