uncovered? there is information in the report that was prepared by director mueller but as to collusion or conspiracy, i m not aware of any. let me stop you. when the f.b.i. opened crossfire hurricane, the issue at hand, it did not have any information that anyone in the trump campaign had ever been in contact with russian intelligence officials, right? as we wrote in the report and talked to director of the c.i.a. and deputy director there. people within the f.b.i. and n.s.a. there was no such information they had in their holdings at the time they opened crossfire hurricane. i will go quickly. you detail how f.b.i. personnel working on fisa applications violated protocols, cavalier at best as you said in your own words toward accuracy and completeness. senior f.b.i. personnel
uncorroborated opposition research such as a steele dossier. the f.b.i. relied on the dossier in fisa applications knowing there was a likely material originating from a political opponent. it did so even after the president of the united states, the f.b.i. and c.i.a. directors and others received things about intelligence suggesting there was a clinton campaign plan underway to stir up a scandal tying trump to russia. the accuracy of the intelligence was uncertain at the time but the f.b.i. failed to analyze or even assess the implications of the intelligence in any meaningful way. when the f.b.i. learned that the primary source of information for the steele dossier, which was basically the guts of the narrative about their being a well-coordinated conspiracy involving trump and the russians. when they learned that danchenko was the primary sub source for
who is else looking? is it the n.s.a.? harris: is it the d.o.j., your former employer? ian: if it s the f.b.i. it s definitely the d.o.j. i can tell you that. is it the c.i.a., is the c.i.a. spying on americans? go back 60 years, that would be on the front page of every newspaper for months. you would have your top investigative reporters on that. you would have special select congressional committees investigating this. now, you know, these big tech companies are really an agent of the government. and the press is an agent of the government as well. so you re not going to get that. i mean, look at what happened with the twitter hearings, right, the democrats were like there s nothing wrong here. harris: nobody likes you to hear you say that the press and the media are together. it s so interesting. it is. it s so interesting, just a few years ago, take yourself back in time. we used to have discussions about our information being
yesterday these twitter former executives. when they were twitter execs they were meeting with the f.b.i. and c.i.a. weekly in the run-up to the 2020 election. it was the f.b.i. special agent specifically saying you need to maybe look at this iividual s account who might be violating your twitter policies. it was the f.b.i. that was trying to suppress information whether it s the hunter laptop, covid questions, whatever it was, they had weaponized to police apparatus of the federal government against conservative voices and against voices not in line with what i would call the orthodoxy of the left. and so that came out just enormously yesterday. i think it will happen again today between gabbard, johnson and grassley. they have been on the receiving
