Now, Jim Jordan says he's uncovered a spying operation being done by the Biden administration
0:28
And this spying operation is spying on Congress members and congressional staffers, and it's using Google's parent company alphabet, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and the like to facilitate this spying operation
0:47
So they're going into phone records, you know, internet records, email records, and all kinds of things
0:53
This is what Jordan claims. Let's take a look. Okay, joining us now for an evening edit exclusive House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, Congressman
1:04
Okay, let's walk the viewer through what's going on because this is complex
1:08
So is this a story? DOJ officials were caught spying on Congress
1:14
the illegally spied on congressional staffers who were working on the investigation of the botched Trump probe What happened Right We now know that they spied on congressional staffers We want to know how far does it go
1:28
Were they spying on members? Were they spying on other staffers? Never forget, Liz
1:34
We know they spied on President Trump's campaign. We know all that from the FISA court and what they did with Carter Page and Papadopoulos, everything else
1:41
Now we've learned that they spied on one of Senator Grass. staff members Jason Foster, we want to know does it go further
1:49
So we've sent letters not only to the Department of Justice, but to all these carriers that the Department of Justice worked with
1:55
to get the phone records, the email records, from congressional staffers like Mr. Foster
2:01
How far does this go? Were they spying on members? Were they spying on other staff? We want to know, and that's what we're taking
2:06
Because, again, the chilling effect this has. Remember, we have a constitutional duty to do oversight of the executive
2:14
branch. If members of Congress and their staff now think, well, wait a minute, is the federal
2:19
government? Is the executive branch spying on us? Looking at everyone I call, looking at all the
2:23
emails we send from our work phone, from our personal phone, that's going to have a chilling
2:27
effect, and not to mention the separation of powers, which is a hallmark of our constitutional
2:32
system Yeah So how did you find out that they were spying on congressional staffers I mean what were they looking at Phone records or emails What was it Well we think it both And after so much time after five six years they let Mr Foster know the Google did
2:49
So that's why we've sent a letter to Google and the other carriers, as well as to the Department of Justice
2:54
Give us the answer since 2016. What have you been doing? Who, of any, have you been spying on
3:02
what phone records, what emails have you got from any congressional staff or just as importantly, any members of Congress
3:10
Okay, so this congressional staffer, Mr. Foster, who worked for Senator Grassley, he says he got an email from Google, revealing Justice Department officials who were demanding his own Google voice records between, I think, December 2016 and May of 2017
3:27
And so now you're saying Apple, Google, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, you've got to give us records on this
3:34
Is that what's going on? Exactly right. We want to know who else
3:38
We want to know how extensive this was. Who all was involved? Now Jordan sent a letter out to all these companies
3:44
And he sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. And he's demanding answers on this spying operation
3:50
He wants to see the records. He wants to see the requests He wants to see everything that was done as part of this spying operation that he claims is a spying operation We cannot independently confirm that But this is what he saying
4:04
This is what Jordan's saying. This is what Grassley is saying. They're saying this is where the evidence points to
4:11
So the question now is, do we live in a government that has a spying operation like this
4:17
And if they do, what do we do about it? This is grounds for impeachment on Merrick Garland
4:23
Attorney General if it's found to be operational. This is not something, again, you know, we're seeing
4:28
things all the time that are not supposed to be done in the United States. This is another
4:32
example of that. You are not supposed to spy on Congress members in the United States. And you guys
4:39
remember there was a similar scandal during the Obama administration. So this is part in practice
4:45
with Obama and Biden and what the Democrats have been doing. I want to know your guys' thoughts on this
4:51
Let me know in the comments. Also, please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe
