Thank you, mr. Chairman. Welcome, everyone, to the last gas of the russia collusion Conspiracy Theory. As democrats continue to foist the spectacle on the American People, as well as you, mr. Mueller, the American People may recall the media first began spreading this Conspiracy Theory in the spring of 2016. When the fusion gps, funded by the dnc and the elder Clinton Campaign, started developing the Steele Dossier. A collection of outlandish accusations that trump and his associates were russian agents. Effusion gps, steel, and other confederates and to top officials in numerous agencies, quitting the fbi, the apartment of justice, and the state department. Among other things, the fbi used dusty allegations to obtain a
warrant to spy on the Trump Campaign. Despite acknowledging dusty allegations as being salacious and unverified, former fbi director james comey briefed those allegations to President Obama and president elect trump. This briefings conveniently leaked to the press. Laun
that we can t share it with our allies. that is how sensitive it is. and that is allegedly what trump was waving around to all these outsiders. and importantly to pete s point, he was waving it around as part of a press strategy to attack mark milley. there is little debate about what he was trying to do. he was slighted by him and so trump made milley one of the major targets of tucker carlson and he has politicized the role and that job. and what he was waving around, something so sensitive as pete said couldn t even be shared with the closest allies. and part of a retribution campaign. donald trump has done this before. he has not had a great deal of respect for classify
investigation anymore or there was a plea deal coming together or something that did not line up to what you thought had been agreed to? yeah. so i guess that would go back to the phone conversations that i had in december of 2022. when the d.c. u.s. attorney s office, the president biden appointed d.c. u.s. attorney said no to the 2014 and 2015 tax year charges. so, when you hear that come out, it was frustrating. we reininvestigated those tax years. we figured it out. it was kind of comical in the team so with the fbi investigators we were working with and us within the irs, we were trying to figure out how do we get an independent attorney with authority assigned to this investigation? and it was like no one knew what to do to bring that issue up and that press strategy at the end of the day and like we said in our testimony that was probably
material live. paul: how strong is the evidence on behalf of the clinton campaign in this and that he did deceive the fbi. those the other big part as he accomplished this week you put people up on the stage including mark elias who was another lawyer and he worked for hillary campaign the dnc as well as a fusion employee who all acknowledge these folks had meetings together and talked about a press strategy. assessment was involved in those. sussman s billing for these meetings were discussed was attributed to the clinton campaign. and so that seems to been pretty well established the jury as well paired. this wild detail i wonder if you could explain to me is that
politics is maybe he gets a day or two of look how much they hate me and both sides can play some of that game. when the hearings are next week and continues. mr. jordan won t have a mic that day, he could go outside the hearing room and make noise. it is pretty striking that mccarthy played a 24-hour press strategy here for something that s going to go on for months. what s problematic for mccarthy is without those republicans there to try to maneuver and block the investigation, those are awfully a lot of smoke for it not to be any fire coming from the republican caucus on this. as you dig deep enough in here, you know how many of them were complacent and how many of them were having conversations. how many of them have flip-flop on this. i think you are going to have a real problem when this starts to
