i should not have not have analogized those two things together in my haste. there is no comparison. there is today zero evidence, zero evidence that joe biden, the president of the united states knew about what his son was doing. jesse: instead of following the money and holding the biden stew account, democrats and the liberal press would rather go hog wild over new charges against donald trump and the chance will documents case. you just feel it is tightening on donald trump. such a dangerous and important moment in this case. that is probably the final nail in the coffin on this one. it reads like a spy novel. the document reads like something ripped from the pages of the untouchables. these allegations rival anything richard nixon was accused of. this indictment reads like a mafia case. it read like something straight out of the gambino crime family. an extraordinary document with so many parables to a mafia investigation from the 60s and a monstrous 70s.
that makes it more aggravating and more compelling to a jury. employee number 4 is the director of information technology for mar-a-lago, and it does appear this individual cooperated. so they de oliveira goes into the i.t. office, talks to employee number 4, takes him into a small room, pulls him away from everybody, and tells this individual i want this conversation to remain between the two of us and asks how many days the server retains the video. the person responds about 45 days, and then de oliveira insisted the boss wanted the server deleted and asked what are we going to do. it s all here. it s all there. it reads like a spy novel. that s what you would do. you would try to get the i.t. guy to wipeout the video footage. i mean it s just astonishing that this is what trump wanted to do. he wanted to destroy evidence of a crime. i mean that s really what this is. i should note though, ryan,
apparently being an agent of the chinese government. now, democratic members of congress are calling for an investigation into without james comer opposite committee has been manipulated by a foreign power. one of those members is congressman dan goldman, he joins me now. congressman, what do you make of all this? it is like a bad spy novel. where you have an actual spy who is on the run, facing federal charges, of very serious nature, including being a spy for china, who then decides, oh, wait, maybe i can t defend myself against these charges by lowering information through an official committee of congress. then of course you have the disparate republicans on the house oversight committee, who will do anything to get any information that might be able to damage president biden and they welcome this unverified, uncorroborated information from a fugitive charged criminal. it is truly remarkable that this is the star witness that the house republicans are trying to rely on in their e
howard: right. and so ill say the challenges of covering it has been for reporters like myself on this messaging on telegram. that s where prigozhin puts videos up. we try and translate this to the u.s. to figure out what s going on. howard: well, i love how everyone on twitter is suddenly an instant expert on this. there are certain people who cover the region who do know a lot. so prigozhin, the guy who headed the mercenary group and later it was revealed his forces got $1 billion from the russian government, is now in belarus, basically a client state of the kremlin, and the president of bell louis, like chen coe belarus, like shinning coe, says he talked putin out of whacking prigozhin. so it s like a spy novel but nailing down the nonfiction part is difficult do. it is like it. there s a great new york times analyst saying china, president xi saying, hey, wait a minute, what does this mean for us? remember when the previous president 23 years ago, boris
how did a weak leader prompted up by putin bail him out of the potential problem? it doesn t pass the basic sniff test. right. and let s talk about what might be happening next for prigozhin in belarus. we simply have no visibility on that. and the kremlin, if i ve not mistaken, was saying we don t really have a firm handle on prigozhin s whereabouts. and there was something cryptic that prigozhin said at the end of that audio message where em, this is all happening, quote, according to the plan. according to what plan? i don t know what that means either. this is all sounding like a russian spy novel. because the best assessment has been that prigozhin went off his own script and found himself having to back down from a situation where he wasn t going to win. in what russia can a military force that is taking on the
