tony came forward because of our report. he realized that hunter basically chaffed him out of $5 million. our report was a catalyst for so much of this information coming forward but our report was a big warning. we tried to warn the american public that the elect was very unfit human being. president biden my that he would be compromised and represented counterintelligence threat, extortion threat that was example after example in the latest example with democratic and obama campaign donors trying to may be due $2 million retainer and hopefully they could get hunter to help them unfreeze $15 billion worth of assets to libby appear those gentlemen would get a percent cut of that but that is how sleazy this all was. hunter biden was out right to the tune of 2015 time frame the same time and cashing in on the
president trump s political desire for this to be investigated and i am fairly confident that whatever comes from this, if it s accurate and accurately reflects what i know to be the truth would be people are genuinely concerned about a counterintelligence threat and/or investigating it based on properly predicated information. my own personal experience the there. katie: the fbi and intelligence committee have lost a lot of credibility with the country. i think of a question about john brannen, carter page was working for the cia as an asset for the united states government, why wasn t john brannen standing up for him while he was being smeared in the media by the fbi? harris: i will be quick. just to kind of respond to what marie was saying and also you, what you are laying out is why marie doesn t trust the process and i don t think that it s trust is in any political party, doesn t matter where you are, for the reasons you just laid out i think the american public
