>> THE HOUSE COMMITTEE IS SET TO
HEAR FROM THREE FBI
WHISTLEBLOWERS SHARING THEIR
STORIES OF RETALIATION AND
ABUSES THEY CLAIM THEY FACED AT
THE BUREAU.
SPECIAL AGENT STEVE FRIEND IS
ONE OF THEM.
>> PEOPLE, THE DAY HE GETS HERE,
THEY LEARN THEY SUSPENDED HIS
CLEARANCE, THEY QUESTIONED HIS
ALLEGIANCE TO THE COUNTRY.
THE GUY WHO DID TWO TOURS ARMED
SERVICES FOR OUR CUP TRIP.
QUESTIONED OUR ALLEGIANCE.
WON’T LET HIM GET ACCESS TO ALL
THINKS BELONGINGS, HIS CLOTSZ,
FURNITURE.
FOUR CHILDREN, A 2 WEEK OLD
NEWBORN WOULDN’T LET HIM GET
ACCESS TO THEIR TOYS, TOYS,
WINTER COATS.
THAT’S HOW BAD IT WAS.
>> FLORIDA CONGRESSMAN GREG
STEUBE SERVES ON THAT SELECT
SUBCOMMITTEE AND HE JOINS US NOW
TO PREVIEW THE HEARING.
CONGRESSMAN, LET ME HELP YOU OUT
WITH YOUR FIRST QUESTION IN
LIGHT OF JIM JORDAN’S COMMENT
RIGHT THERE.
HOW THE HECK DOES THIS HAPPEN
HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY SERVING THE
PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA IN THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA.
>> YEAH, IT’S REALLY SAD THE
DEPTH OF CORRUPTION THAT IS
CURRENTLY GOING ON IN OUR FBI AND DOJ.
AND DOJ.
AND THE LEVEL OF THAT HAS
OCCURRED.
AN INDIVIDUAL THAT SAW THEY
WEREN’T FOLLOWING THEIR OWN
GUIDELINES ON INVESTIGATING
THESE CASE AND WITH HIS BLUE TO
HIS EXECUTIVES PURSUANT TO FBI
RULES THEY COMPLETELY SHUT HIM
DOWN AND TOOK AWAY HIS SECURITY
CLEARANCE.
DOESN’T GIVE HIM THE ABILITY TO
GET ANOTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT JOB
AND FIRE HIM.
DIRECT WRAY AND MERRICK GARLAND
SAID THEY WON’T DO THAT. THAT’S
EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE DOING
RETALIATING AGAINST
WHISTLEBLOWERS BLOWING THE
WHISTLE GOING AFTER
CONSERVATIVES THE FACT THEY HAVE
POLITICIZED THE FBI AND DUONG
WHEN THESE TESTIMONIES BE ENOUGH
TO MOVE THE NEEDLE TO GET THESE
PEOPLE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE SEE THESE
EXPLOSIVE TESTIMONIES COME OUT
AND THEN THE STORY JUST VANISHED THE NEXT WEEK?
THE NEXT WEEK?
IS IT ENOUGH?
REPORT RELEASED THIS MORNING
9:445 PRESS CONFERENCE 9:00 A.M.
EGREGIOUS ABUSE.
MISALLOCATION OF RESOURCES AND
MISCONDUCT AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS
OF THE FBI.
WHAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN FACT
NOW THAT WILL BE IN THIS REPORT
IS STATEMENTS THAT BOTH MERRICK
GARLAND HAVE MADE UNDER OATH AND
DIRECTOR WRAY HAVE MADE UNDER
OATH ARE COMPLETE OUTRIGHT LIES
TO CONGRESS WHICH IS AN OFFENSE
AND A CRIME AND I THINK IS
IMPEACHABLE CONDUCT.
SO, IN READING THE 80-PAGE
REPORT THAT WILL BE RELEASED AT
7:45 THIS MORNING, I CERTAINLY
HAVE CHANGED MY MIND THINK THAT
DIRECTOR WRAY AND MERRICK
GARLAND SHOULD BE IMPEACHED.
>> Todd: TO REVIEW YOU THINK
BOTH OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS SHOULD
FACE IMPEACHMENT OVER THIS?
>> 100 PERCENT.
>> Todd: LET’S GO INTO WHAT SOME
OF THE TESTIMONY IS EXPECTED TO
BE.
ONE OF THE FBI GOPSD TESTIFY
STAFF PLACES MARCUS ALLEN
ESPOUSED ALTERNATIVE THEORIES TO
CO-WORKERS VERBALLY AND IN
EMAILS AND INSTANT MESSAGES SENT
ON FBI SYSTEMS.
INCLUDING AN EMAIL CONTAINING A
LINK TO A WEBSITE THAT STATED,
AMONG OTHER THINGS, BY NOW IT’S
CLEAR THAT FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAD SOME DEGREE OF
INFILTRATION AMONG THE CROWDS
GATHERED AT THE CAPITOL ON
JANUARY 6TH.
THE LINES OF QUESTIONING THAT
YOU ARE EXPECTED TO PURSUE WILL
INCLUDE JANUARY 6TH, I’M
ASSUMING?
>> JANUARY 6TH IS A LARGE PART
OF THIS.
HOW THEY HAVE WEAPONIZED AND
EXAGGERATED THE NUMBERS ON
DOMESTIC EXTREME TERRORISM.
THEY WILL USE WHAT HAPPENED HERE
IN WASHINGTON AND THEN ADD THOSE
NUMBERS IN THE DIFFERENT FIELD
OFFICES TO EXACERBATE AND EXPAND
THE NUMBERS BALSD ON WHAT THEY
NOT REALLY ARE.
BASICALLY COMPLETELY MISLEADING
THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ON THE LEVEL
OF DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND
DOMESTIC EXTREMISM CASES.
THE FBI HAS.
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS.
AND ONE OF THE WITNESSES IS
GOING TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE
BUREAU SPECIFICALLY IS GOING
AFTER PRO-LIFE PREGNANCY
CENTERS.
I MEAN, THIS IS 100 PERCENT
STUFF YOU SEE IN CHINA,
COMMUNIST CHINA, COMMUNIST
RUSSIA.
THIS ISN’T THE TYPE OF BEHAVIOR
THAT WE SHOULD BE HAVING IN THE
UNITED STATES, WHAT THE FBI HAS
BECOME IS THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
ARM OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
>> YOU KNOW, CONGRESSMAN, WE
HAVE TO GET TO THIS BECAUSE
HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE NOW
ATTEMPTING TO WORK AROUND
REPUBLICANS TO RAISE THE U.S.
DEBT CEILING THROUGH SOMETHING
CALLED A DISCHARGE PETITION.
LOOK, THE FACTS ARE McCARTHY
PUT OUT A COMMON SENSE PLAN OVER
100 DAYS AGO.
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT MOVING ON
IT.
McCARTHY EVEN MADE THE POINT
THAT THE PRESIDENT LEFT THE
UNITED STATES WITHOUT COMING TO
A DEAL.
SO WHAT IS THE HOLDUP?
>> THE HOLDUP IS THE SENATE AND
THE WHITE HOUSE NOT DOING THEIR
JOB.
WE HAVE PASSED A BILL.
SO THE DEMOCRATS CAN FILE
WHATEVER DISCHARGE PETITION THEY
WANT, THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GET
THE 218 VOTES NECESSARY TO FORCE
A VOTE ON IT BECAUSE WE ALREADY
VOTED ON A DEBT CEILING BILL,
INCREASING THE DEBT CEILING,
CUTTING SPENDING AND PUTTING IN
WORK REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR SOCIAL
WELFARE PROGRAMS.
THINGS THAT JOE BIDEN HIMSELF
HAS SUPPORTED WHEN HE WAS IN THE
SENATE.
SO WE HAVE ALREADY PASSED A
PLAN.
THE DEMOCRATS CAN TRY ALL THIS
BUT THEY ARE BASICALLY STALLING.
THEY ARE NOT DOING WHAT NEEDS TO
HAPPEN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
TO IMMEDIATE MOVE OUR ECONOMY
FORWARD.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT US TO
CUT SPENDING IN WASHINGTON AND
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE DID IN
INCREASING THE DEBT CEILING.
>> Todd: IS THAT A SIGN
DESPERATION FLOATING THIS
DISCHARGE PETITION?
>> YEAH.
I THINK SO.
THEY NO OTHER OPTION THE SENATE
IS REFUSING TO PASS A BILL AND
SEND IT TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
>> Todd: WITH THAT WE HAVE
AVOIDED GOING INTO WONKY
DISCUSSION WITH DISCHARGE
PETITIONS WITH "STUDIO BY," PIRO
WE NEED ANSWERS THAT’S NOT HOW
