" fbi agents! who were screams for aptitude in detecting truth were inclined to believe trump. fbi agents who were trained by what, at his very best, is the most sophisticated law enforcement agency on the planet! they were inclined to believe trump... some fbi field agents then argue to prosecutors that they were inclined to believe trump and his team had delivered everything the government sought to protect and said the borough should close down as a criminal investigation, according to some people familiar with the discussions. that was in june of last year, after federal prosecutor served a subpoena on donald trump for the return of all government records including classified documents that donald trump still had in his possession. on june 3rd, at mar-a-lago, in response to the subpoena -- trump lawyer erin court when gave brad, the chief of the counter intelligence division at the justice department, 38 classified records along with an affidavit signed by trump lawyer christina bobb saying tha

this is just the fbi. americans have concerns about the double standard that the department of justice -- american some concerns about the disinformation governance that the department of homeland security tried to form. americans have concerns about the atf and what they are doing to the second amendment. of course, they have concerns about the irs and the thousands of new agents who are coming to that organization. finally, there are concerns about what we have learned in the twitter files. big government and big tech colluded to shape and mold the narrative and suppress information and censor americans. over the course of our work on this committee, we expect to hear from government officials and experts like we have here today. we expect to hear from americans who have been targeted by their government. we expect to hear from people in the media. we expect to hear from the fbi agents who have come forward as whistleblowers. we think many of them will step in for transcribed interviews as wounded on tue

this was not the fbi responding to criticism of the fbi. it was generally policing this thing called this information. eventually, they tagged things like jokes. just a ridiculous scope of information that they believed could be removed. and then third, what we have here in these -- in terms of what the government is doing -- is what we've seen before. even if you assume this does not create an agency relationship, it's wrong. it's wrong for the government to be in the business of silencing citizens. it is wrong. we saw during the mccarthy period, where the government was behind the blacklisting of individuals. we said it was wrong. it was wrong then, it's wrong now. we have to have that debate. it has to move somewhere beyond our normal partisan divisions. stephenson said that when there is a loss of faith in the government, we lose everything. i hope that, senator stevenson's words resonate with members of this committee. -- i thank you again for allowing me to appear. i look forward to working with members on both sides to look at this i

it was the fbi. host: in 1999, 6 years later, former senator appointed as special counsel by janet reno. what was behind that decision? guest: it had come out that the fbi had not been candid about the fact on earlier occasions on the final day combustible military rows had been use to fire gas. when attorney general reno had been promised by the fbi that would not happen. there was a growing suspicion that these combustible rounds started the fire. they were fired around 6:00 a.m. in the fire did not start until noon. there is also the question of whether a couple of the atf agents involved, including chuck sarabyn had tried to alter documents showing why they had done what they did. there are the suspicions and so senator danford was tasked going in and investigate. he did but it is also true he made preliminary statements before the investigation was complete -- concluded that the fbi was not at fault for anything. a lot of people got the sense that this was a government cover up which is more con

our fbi director jared hoover who ran at the fbi for 48 years. the fbi did some excellent work, and it did some truly evil work at the very same time. there is no more bile episode in the history of law enforcement and what jay edmund hoover try to do to the reverend doctorate martin luther king junior. there's always been, smart at the idea, brave fbi agents, and have always been that fbi agents. and the boston field office fbi agent john connally, from south boston, was the first praise for his ability to obtain useful intelligence on some of the gangsters who grew up in the same south boston aber who that john karlyn did. if you knew john connally as i briefly said when he was thought to be a honest fbi agent you can never regard the fbi with blind admiration. john connolly maybe watching the this right now after being released at age 80 having our time for his deep criminal involvement with boston's whitey bulger, including in the conspiracy to murder. the good with the bat. you have to learn to do that. you have to take the good with a bad w

the fbi, the same fbi that certain republicans have been attacking was not chomping at the bitno to raid donald trump' beach house mansion. instead the agency was proceedingag exceedingly carefully, and they were worried about the political implications of provoking the former president. and all this resulted in very heated battles between the fbi and justice department prosecutors who were advocating a more aggressive strategy to try and retrieve those documents down at mar-a-lago. according to "the washington post" it was only after a series of intense negotiations with justice department prosecutors that the fbi eventually moved forward with its search 467 and all along the way in spite of all the evidencee to the contrary, the fbi continued to give trump and his legal team the benefit of the doubt.

and the department of justice and the fbi worked together but the fbi from what i understand, the field office in washington field office, they thought a less intrusive plan should be used and unannounced warrant. and at the end of the day, the fbi needs to operate independent of the department of justice. appointed by the current president, whereas the fbi, the fbi director is not a political appointee, typically in office about ten years. >> john: call four number 2, christopher wray was also asked about political bias at the fbi and denied there is any. listen to this. >> you know, i hear these claims of politization but i can tell you the fbi is and is going to stay independent, and that means following the facts wherever they lead no matter who likes it. >> john: that proves even the fbi director has a problem saying politization. how does that comport with what you saw, your experience at the fbi? >> my experience and the experience of others that i work with is that it was not separate. many times the fbi seemed to be taking instructions from the department of justice and getting

what was going on inside the fbi? remember, just 11 days before the election, fbi director james comey announced that the agency was reopening its investigation into hillary clinton. effectively costing her the election. the motivation behind comey's move seemed to be coming from the fbi's new york field office, which, according to reuters, had a faction of investigators based in the office known to be hostile to hillary clinton. and then there's what they didn't announce, which is at the same time, they were also investigating the trump campaign's ties to russia. a fact that never came out until after trump was elected and eventually impeached, the first time. so the question of what was going on inside the fbi was never fully answered, at least not publicly. but that's not the -- but that same question is coming up again. as we're getting new reporting from "the washington post" involving apparent fbi resistance to the august search of trump's mar-a-lago estate to recover classified documents. the post reports, two

in fact, look at the history of the fbi. there's been a pretty long record of that in the fbi fbi. so in the abstract, not crazy. doubles in the details, though. these credible folks? according to a new 300 plus-page report from the democrats on the committee, jim jordan's star witness service don't exactly seemed to have the goods. so one of them is a retired agent named george hill. he once tweeted that the january six insurrection was actually set up. he claimed that jamie sixth pipe bomb, remember that person that we have footage of planting those pipe bombs? and his still not been caught? that pipe bomber is actually a democratic operative working with the fbi and that, and i quote him here, the fbi or the browns should in forces of the dnc. okay. so in other words the fbi whistleblower think the fbi operate like now season support of the democratic party. this is, just to be clear here, in case you forgot, the fbi. the federal bureau of investigation, federal law enforcement. an army of liberalism. a fascist army of liberalism? jordan also brought forward a suspended agent na

and the fbi resisted that. agents on the case resisted it as not really time yet, not really good justification to demand or go in and search for those records that many witnesses believed were still at mar-a-lago. the next most important moment is june. after a subpoena to donald trump for all classified records still in his possession, investigators go to meet with his team, june 3rd, and they are -- they receive a certification from trump's lawyers that all classified records have been turned over, there has been a diligent search, and here is an envelope full of records, the only ones left here. at that moment, previously unreported, some fbi agents signal they want to close the criminal investigation. they believe trump's lawyers have complied with the subpoena and prosecutor do not have that same confidence. they have a lot more suspicion. and then the third most important moment, jose, comes in a major showdown in the end of july or the first day of august at which fbi agents and prosecutors in the natio

it doesn't seem to me that the fbi has a lot of confidence in you. because what they're doing clearly is trying to distance themselves from your decisions. >> but meanwhile the million voting systems explosive court findings in the lawsuit against fox. in the latest bombshell we talked about last night that rupert murdoch himself admitted fox news and dosed false election claims. none democrats in congress don't just want answers they want real actions. house minority leader, hakeem jeffries, a senate minority leader, chuck schumer, wrote to murdaugh and fox executives calling on them to take action to protect american democracy. >> i order tucker carlson and other hosts on fox news to stop spreading lies about the election. they need to stop giving the platform to dangerous and entirely unfounded conspiracy theories that eat at the wellspring of our democracy. and they need to admit, on the air but, they were wrong to engage in such negligent and destructive behavior. mr. murdoch's testimony is all the more alarming after speak of mccarthy is report

the fbi lies, and the doj covers for them. and nowhere do we see this bias is more egregiously than against donald trump. >> i believe that your intention and i think it's a political intention to indict president donald trump became infinitely harder when classified documents were discovered repeatedly a president joe biden's multiple residents. they were first discovered on november 7th, 6 days before the prior election, the permit of justin's was notified on november 4th, again miraculously there was no leak. about the classified documents a present joe biden's home. when it politically benefited the effort to go after and charge donald trump, doj leaked. >> it's inappropriate and they were not directed by anyone. >> laura: that's called deflected tonight, of course leaks are inappropriate, always. they are carried out by a ghost [laughter] i don't know who did it ever. now garland didn't seem as worked up as the fbi's richmond field office was about catholics. who attend the latin mass. when garland was pressed on this mem

el fbi encontrÓ a las vÍctimas y sus captores en este lugar. el fbi dijo que disparÓ contra los sospechosos, hiriÓ a uno de ellos que permanece bajo custodia, mientras que el otro falleciÓ. maity: hoy terminÓ la huelga de tres dÍas de maestros y trabajadores de los Ángeles sin progreso aparente en las demandas econÓmicas y laborales que exigen para sus gremios. la alcaldesa de los Ángeles se involucrÓ como mediadora. muchos esperan que ayude a destrabar las negociaciones y se llegue a un acuerdo. vamos en vivo a los Ángeles. buenas noches, dulce. ¿hay alguna indicaciÓn de cuÁndo podrÁn llegar a un acuerdo? reportera: buenas noches. el sindicato y el distrito escolar no han negociado y no han podido llegar a un acuerdo para un nuevo contrato. la alcaldesa aclarÓ que sÍ se reanudaron las conversaciones, pero eso no significa que estÁn negociando. no se sabe por cuÁnto tiempo van estar en estas plÁticas. maity: ¿se podrÍa extender esta huelga? reportera: para maÑana no. el dÍa de maÑana viernes los estudiantes y trabajadore

. >> now an fbi spokesperson tells cnn when fbi employees report actual evidence of wrongdoing they're protected from retaliation, we're also learns there are several others yet to come including some suspended from the fbi for attending demonstrations on january 6 and the jordan has not backed down from that previously accused the fbi of retaliating against employees for take r part in first amendment activities >> i want to go to ryan good man, you hard sara's reporting going through the three people who testified obviously, former whistleblowers, and dozens more, jordan really loves the topic if jim jordan had the goods he would want to make it public. it would be televised. what does this say the way it's handled about what he's got. >> it's a great question if these people have the goods, let's hear it 300 page report the ranking members from the democratic side said present these individuals to american public without delay. we want to hear from them they do not have the i guess, they are not whistleblowers they do not have first hand information about fraud, waste and abuse tech

we had fbi agent's telling us that they were cooking the books. where there would be normally one case you would open up on domestic extremism, you have the washington field office putting pressure on agents to open up separate cases on each individual so that they would be the veneer, the illusion, the appearance that all of our fellow americans, that our neighbors were somehow extreme and trying to overthrow our government, when, in fact, that is not the case. so, we took the deposition of a brave patriots named garrett hope oil, who served in the fbi, who shared these things. yesterday judiciary democrats put out a smear piece on him. they took out of context fortunes of his testimony and tried to discredit what he shared with us as a whistleblower, because he is a vaccine skeptic, and because when the fbi left him without pay and without the ability to earn other income, there were people who gave him a few thousand dollars so that he was able to buy a winter coat for his children and be able to meet the month's bills. so, we have an active ca

and the fbi headquarters as alleged by a senior official who we interviewed about this said fbi headquarters did not know that this discussion was going on, and they insist that they would not have approved it. of course, it's easy to say that now. i'm not trying to be skeptical. it's just a -- it's just an occupational hazard. but we've had many people say this would not have been approved by the senior leadership of the fbi. of course, we don't know what would have happened. what we do know is from talking to a lot of legal experts, if that case had been closed in june, it's highly unlikely that the government would have conducted a search, found the additional evidence of obstruction, and ultimately recovered, might never have recovered, forgive me, more than 100 classified records, including some that revealed incredibly sensitive intelligence about iran and china. >> do we know if those field agents in the washington office who wanted to end the trump investigation into documents at mar-a-lago are still on the job and on the case? >> i can't answer that at this moment. i'm sorry. >> oka

they and the fbi did as well. the first job of course for atf is to try and trace the guns from the serial numbers as soon as they could get them. find out where they were purchased, et cetera. the fbi is now working with national police to determine motive, and that includes all the normal ways that you would think, going through social media, going through what was recovered from the search of the house at that sort of thing. but they will stick with this as long as it takes. >> thank you. as i said, my immediate focus is a thickened and a families. transparency is important, too. the facts that are being reported by local law enforcement regarding the killer very disturbing. law enforcement officials have indicated the killer may have been motivated by deeply disturbing beliefs. you responded of course to senator kennedy a few minutes ago that theat motive is not yet known, but if the evidence suggested the killers motives were political or ideological, i just want to confirm with you that part of your investig

so give me an answer. >> the fbi does not agree with your description. >> i'm not asking what the fbi! you are the attorney general. give me your answer. do you think it was objectively reasonable, they follow your guidelines, and sent 20 to 30 armed agents to terrorize these people. yes or no? >> the facts presented by the fbi are not consistent with the description. >> so you think it was reasonable? >> i am saying that the facts are not as you described. >> that the children weren't there? that there weren't long guns where there? what are you disputing? what is the factual premise you dispute? be specific. >> that they don't agree with your description of -- >> the specific! you don't agree with what? >> of how many agents of the agents who were there and what their roles were. >> do you know that they acquitted mr. hag, which i'm sure you are aware. >> i am aware, with respect to the decision of the. jury >> no longer took them? >> no idea. >> one hour. -- decline to prosecute, private suits dismissed. you use an unbelievable show of force that with guns that liberals usually dec
