Republicans Drop Hammer on Former Top FBI Official Over Biden Probe

Hey everybody, welcome to Explain America. I'm your host Carmine Sabia

A former FBI official is about to get into a ton of trouble with the new Republican Congress

That's coming right at you. But first, please, as always, make sure you like, you comment

you subscribe, and you follow us at Explain America on Facebook. And check us out in the

Explain America lounge. We are accepting new members every day and it's very heartening

to see you guys joining and getting involved in the conversation with us. Also, if you like what

we have to say here today, please share the video. That stuff really helps us out. We really

appreciate it. Former FBI agent Timothy Teobold is in trouble with the top members of the House

Judiciary Committee that happen to be Republican right now, which is the minority. And the reason

is because of whistleblower complaints against him that said that he wanted to reclassify and

did reclassify some cases as domestic extremism when there was little to no evidence really to

support the reclassification of such cases. Now Republicans have asked him to explain this and

he has just ignored it because, well, Democrats are in charge. And with Democrats in charge

they're not going to subpoena him. They don't want to know. But the Republicans do want to know

And TikTok, Republicans are about to take over the clock. They're about to become the heads of

the House. So with them becoming the heads, they are now going to have subpoena power over the

former FBI agent and over a lot of other people. So he may be compelled to come in, which is going

to be a big deal. Another person who may be compelled to come in is Representative Adam Schiff

See, the Republicans have a lot of questions for him about investigations into Trump

investigations into other Republicans. And he said something rather interesting about that today

When asked if he would comply with a Republican subpoena against him, a hypothetical

Republican subpoena, because one does not exist yet because they're not in control of the House

But when asked if he would comply with a hypothetical Republican subpoena against him

Schiff said he would have to check into the validity of such a request. Now that's interesting

It's interesting because this is a man who was gung-ho about referring Steve Bannon for criminal

charges to the Justice Department when he did not comply with a subpoena request from the House

And he gave an actual reason of executive privilege to not comply. So he didn't just

ignore it. He gave them a reason why he wasn't complying. Yet still, they pursued and eventually

got the Justice Department to take the case against Bannon. And the Justice Department

got Bannon convicted. So it is a serious charge to deny a congressional subpoena. And yet here

he is talking about doing it. And so it seems that a lot of the rules are for thee and not for me

is going on with the former FBI agent, with Representative Schiff, with a lot of people

who are going to find out that the rules are in fact the rules and they will have to obey them

It's going to be a very interesting new Congress, guys. And it's going to be fun to watch
