HIGHER, MARIA.
MARIA: JACKIE, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
THE PEOPLE COURT MEANWHILE
DELIVERING A FLOW TO FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM.
THE HIGHEST COURT DENIED THEIR
BID TO HAVE A SPECIAL MASTER
LOOK OVER MORE THAN 100
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS SEIZED
DURING THE FBI’S UNPRECEDENTED
RAID ON TRUMP’S MAR-A-LAGO HOME.
CHRIS, GREAT TO SEE YOU.
WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT WITH
YOU. BUT FIRST YOUR THOUGHTS ON
BUT FIRST YOUR THOUGHTS ON
SUPREME COURT RULING?
>> I DON’T THINK IT’S
SURPRISING.
OF COURSE, IT’S DISAPPOINTING
AND IT CERTAINLY UNDERMINE
AMERICANS’ TRUST AND WHY CAN’T
AN EXTENSION OF THE COURT LOOK
OVER CLASSIFIED DOCUMENT.
THE GOVERNMENT LEAKED TO THE
PRESS.
WE HAVE SEEN NO ACTUAL EVIDENCE
OF THAT AND, OF COURSE,
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM
WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO REVIEW
THESE IF HE’S, IN FACT,
INDICTED, THAT WILL STILL GET A
CHANCE TO DO THAT.
IT’S DISAPPOINTING BUT I DON’T
THINK IT’S TOO SHOCKING.
MARIA: LET’S TALK ABOUT THE IGOR
DANCHENKO BOMBSHELL, WE ARE
LEARNING THAT THE FBI PAID IGOR
DANCHENKO MORE THAN $2,000 TO BE
A CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE OVER 3-YEAR PERIOD.
3-YEAR PERIOD.
FORMER CAMPAIGN ADVISER GEORGE
PAPADOPOULOS THAT FBI HAD
DANCHENKO ON THE PAYROLL.
CHRIS, THEY TRIED TO GET HIM TO
CORROBORATE A LOT OF THOSE
THINGS IN THE DOSSIER, HE WAS
UNABLE TO DO IT AND WE KNOW IN
JANUARY 17TH, HE GAVE THE FBI A
3-DAY INTERVIEW DURING WHICH HE
SAID WE MADE IT UP, WE
EMBELLISHED AND WE WERE HAVING
BEERS WITH FRIENDS AND THE FBI
CONTINUED TO SURVEIL CARTER
PAYMENT, YOUR THOUGHTS.
>> IT’S A WILD TESTIMONY WHO
WANTED TO PAID DANCHENKO
DEFENDING INTEGRITY AND
DEFENDING THE SOURCE, ATTACKING ANYONE WHO SAID, HEY, BY THE
ANYONE WHO SAID, HEY, BY THE
WAY, DANCHENKO SOMEONE WHO WAS
REVIEWED FOR BEING DOUBLE
RUSSIAN AGENT.
HE WAS COLLECTING HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM THE
GOVERNMENT TO MAKE UP STUFF AND
THE FBI WAS DESPERATE TO DO THIS
AND OFFERED STEELE TO
CORROBORATE THIS STUFF AND THIS
AGENT IS STANDING BY SOME OF HIS
WORK OF INFORMANT AND WE KNOW IS
BUNK AND SHOWS YOU THOUSAND
THICK THE BLINDERS ARE ON SOME
OF THE AGENTS.
MARIA: IT’S WORSE THAN THAT,
WHAT IS HE TRYING TO DO, JOHN
DURHAM, TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK
LIKE THE FBI WAS DUPED, I’M IN
THE BUYING IT.
HERE IS THE OP-ED THIS MORNING,
SPECIAL COUNSEL IS LYING TO THE
FED’S CHARGES TO UNRAVEL FOR THE
PUBLIC THE HOAX WHICH ON ITS
FACE REQUIRES PAINTS THE FBI AS
DEEPS.
BUILDING MR. DURHAM’S CASE OF
FBI MALFEASANCE.
WERE THEY REALLY DUPED OR WAS
THE LEADERSHIP AT THE FBI
DRIVING A NARRATIVE THAT WASN’T
TRUE BECAUSE THEY JUST WANT
TODAY TAKE DOWN A POLITICAL
ENEMY?
>> I THINK IT’S CERTAINLY THE
LATTER.
THEY’VE SHOWN ANIMUS TOWARD THE
PRESIDENT.
THEY’VE SHOWN WILLINGNESS TO
BELIEVE COMPLETELY FARFETCHED
AND RIDICULOUS ASSERTIONS AND
SHOWN WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH
PEOPLE WHO ARE CORRUPT AND
INVESTIGATED PREVIOUSLY AND
COULDN’T CORROBORATE CLAIMS AND
PAY THEM MONEY IF THEY CAME UP
WITH THINGS THAT MADE DONALD
TRUMP LOOK BAD AND LEAKED TO THE
PRESS.
ALL OF THOSE THINGS LEAD TO NOT
JUST SOME KIND OF GOOFY OFFICER
ON PATROL BUT SOMEONE WHO IS
ACTIVELY TRYING TO UNDERMINE THE
PRESIDENT, TAKE HIM DOWN, NO, I
DON’T BUY THAT THEY ARE DUPING
THE SITUATION.
I THINK THAT THEY WERE -- THEY
HAD MALFEASANCE HERE.
MARIA: I TOTALLY AGREE.
>> QUICK QUESTION FOR YOU, IF
THE GOP TAKES BACK THE HOUSE,
ELEMENT IMMEDIATELY
INVESTIGATIONS INTO HUNTER
BIDEN, HIS LAPTOP AND IF THE
PRESIDENT HAD PROFITED OFF OF
THOSE DEALINGS IN CHINA AND
UKRAINE AND IF HE IS COMPROMISED
AT THIS POINT BUT I WOULD THINK
THAT THEIR FIRST ORDER OF
BUSINESS WOULD BE TO CALL CHRIS
WRAY TO TESTIFY BECAUSE NOW HE’S
BEEN FBI DIRECTOR FOR 5 YEARS
AND WHATEVER REASON DOESN’T SEEM
TO BE INTERESTED IN PURSUING THE
HUNTER BIDEN CASE WITH THE VIGOR
THAT HE DOES OTHER CASES.
WILL WRAY ONE OF THE FIRST
PEOPLE TO TESTIFY, DO YOU
BELIEVE?
>> I’M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHO THE
TOP LIST IS FOR JIM JORDAN.
I THINK IT’S GOING TO BE LEAVING
A LOT OF THIS STUFF BUT I THINK
HE WILL DEFINITELY BE ON THAT.
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS A LOT
TO INVESTIGATE AT THIS POINT.
THEY’VE GOT SOME FOLKS IN THERE
LICK JORDAN WHO ARE GOING TO BE
PIT BULLS ON IT AND TRY THE
DEMAND SOME ANSWERS.
I MEAN, WE’VE BEEN DOING THIS,
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
RUSSIA AND THE FBI AND
UNDERMINING THE PRESIDENT HERE
ON THIS PANEL FOR SIX YEARS AND
WE ARE STILL JUST BEGINNING TO
GET ANSWERS SO I DON’T GET TOO
EXCITED THAT WE ARE GOING TO GET
THOSE ANSWERS IN THE NEXT YEAR
OR TWO BUT I THINK, YEAH,
CHRISTOPHER WRAY IS AT THE TOP
OF THE TARGET LIST.
MARIA: INCREDIBLY THE PEOPLE
THAT ABUSED POWER ARE BACK IN
POWER LIKE JAKE SULLIVAN IN THE
STATE DEPARTMENT WHO WAS
PEDDLING THAT LIE OF RUSSIA
COLLUSION FOR 3 YEARS.
AND NOW THERE’S JUST BAD POLICY
IN THIS WIDE-OPEN THAT THEY ARE
TRYING TO DISTRACT US FROM, 3
ILLEGAL MIGRANT BUSES ARRIVED IN
NEW YORK’S PORT AUTHORITY THIS
MORNING.
SO FAR 30 BUSS HAVE ARRIVED IN
THE BIG APPLE THIS WEEK ALONE,
CHRIS, AS BORDER PATROL AGENTS
IN TEXAS DISCOVERED A GROUP OF
ILLEGAL MIGRANTS HIDDEN INSIDE A
GRAIN HOPPER RAILCAR EARLIER
THIS WEEK.
AGENTS SAID THAT THE MIGRANT
WERE TRAPPED INSIDE, NO WAY TO
ESCAPE.
IT’S AMAZING TO ME THAT WE ARE
NOT HEARING MORE FROM THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION AND THE DEMOCRATS
OF THIS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION OF
THESE MIGRANTS, THIS DANGEROUS
TRACK HAS PEOPLE DROWNING, SUFFOCATING AND YET WE DON’T
SUFFOCATING AND YET WE DON’T
HEAR ANY WORD ABOUT IT,
ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS KEEPS ON
SAYING THE BORDER IS SECURE AS
WE ARE MORONS.
>> THANK GOD THEY WERE FOUND.
HALF OF THE PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE
TRYING TO SUPPOSEDLY GIVE A
BETTER LIFE.
THEY DON’T CARE.
THEY WILL LET PEOPLE DIE.
IT MATTERS VERY LITTLE TO THEM
AND IN THE PROCESS THEY ARE
MAKING BILLIONS, BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS RUNNING AMERICA’S BORDER
WHILE THE AMERICANS TRY TO DENY
IT.
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL ANSWER
THAT AND WE WILL SEE IN
ELECTIONS, SOUTHERN TEXAS WHERE
DEMOCRATS HAVE HOPE FOR AND THE
GOP IS GOING TO WIN BASED ON THE
ISSUE ALLEN.
MARIA: CHAD WOLF FORMER DHS
SECRETARY TOLD US THAT IN 2021
THE DANGEROUS CARTELS TOOK IN
$31 BILLION SO THEY ARE -- THEY
ARE MAKING SOME SERIOUS MONEY ON
THIS WIDE-OPEN BORDER.
CHRISTOPHER THANKS VERY MUCH, WE
