HUNTER’S CURRENT ATTORNEYS BUT
WE HAVE YET TO HEAR BACK.
>> Dana: THANK YOU.
JOINING US FOR MORE ON THIS
GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY LAW
PROFESSOR AND FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR JONATHAN TURLEY.
I WANT TO SHOW EVERYBODY ALL THE
DIFFERENT FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE
BIDENS THAT RECEIVED MONEY.
SO HERE YOU HAVE IT ON THE
SCREEN FOR YOU HERE.
YOU HAVE HUNTER’S EX-WIFE.
BEAU BIDEN’S WIDOW AND HUNTER’S
CURRENT WIFE AND DIVORCE LAWYERS
NEW ABOUT THE PAYMENT, DOES THAT
ADD ANYTHING TO THE STORY IN
YOUR MIND?
>> IT ADDS A GREAT DEAL.
THE ONLY PEOPLE NOT ON THAT LIST
ARE HIS -- GROUPS LIKE THE PETS,
MAJOR IS NOT MENTIONED.
OTHERWISE EVERY GENERATION
SEEMED TO GET A DIVIDEND.
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IS A FAMILY
BUSINESS.
IT LOOKS LIKE A FAMILY BUSINESS
THAT IS DIVIDING UP THE
PROCEEDS.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THIS
FAMILY BUSINESS HAD DOZENS OF
LLCs AND ACCOUNTS THAT SEEMED
DESIGNED TO HIDE THESE PAYMENTS.
THERE IS NO COGNIZANT REASON WHY
YOU WOULD CREATE THIS LABYRINTH
OF LLCs AND AT UNLESS YOU WERE
TRYING TO HIDE THE TRAIL.
IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT THE FAMILY
BUSINESS IS OTHER THAN POLITICS.
MANY OF US HAVE SAID FOR YEARS
THAT THE BIDEN FAMILY IS
NOTORIOUS FOR INFLUENCE PEDDLING
AND THIS SEEMS TO CONFIRM OUR
EXPECTATIONS.
>> Bill: THE OTHER STORY IS WHAT
HAPPENED WITH THIS LETTER THAT
WAS SIGNED BY 51 INTEL AGENTS
SAYING THAT THE LAPTOP WAS
BOGUS, IT CAME FROM MOSCOW,
RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION?
JOHN BRENNAN HAD A LONG
INTERVIEW YESTERDAY AND JIM
JORDAN EXPLAINED IT LAST NIGHT.
>> SAT FOR A FOUR-HOUR INTERVIEW
AND CONFIRMED THIS THING WAS ALL
POLITICAL.
WE EXPECT PUBLIC SERVANTS NOT TO
USE THEIR TITLE TO INFLUENCE AN
ELECTION.
IT WAS SO POLITICAL WHEN ALL
DONE.
>> Bill: MY GUESS IS WE NEED TO
SEE A TRANSCRIPT TO FIND OUT
WHAT THE QUESTION WAS AND HOW HE
ANSWERED THAT.
>> YEAH, BUT THE THING THAT
PEOPLE NEED TO REMEMBER IS WHEN
THE LETTER WAS ISSUED JUST
BEFORE THE ELECTION, MANY OF US
HAD ALREADY FLAGGED AN
INTERESTING ASPECT OF THIS
LAPTOP.
IT WAS SELF-AUTHENTICATING.
OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE SENDERS OF
THESE EMAILS.
NOT ONLY THAT, AMERICAN
INTELLIGENCE SAID FAIRLY QUICKLY
THEY HAD NO EVIDENCE OF RUSSIAN
INTELLIGENCE INVOLVEMENT.
AND YET THIS LETTER WAS ISSUED.
WE NOW KNOW FROM THE PERSON WHO
ORGANIZED IT, THAT HE SAYS THAT
THE TRIGGER WAS NOW SECRETARY OF
STATE BLINKEN WHO WAS WORKING
FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
WE’RE BEGINNING TO SEE A LOT OF
THESE PIECES FITTING NOW AS TO
HOW THIS LETTER CAME ABOUT.
IT IS NOT A PRETTY PICTURE.
>> Dana: I WANT TO ASK YOU
SOMETHING.
I LEARNED THAT 21 PEOPLE THAT
THE LETTER INSTIGATORS REACHED
OUT TO DECLINED TO SIGN IT.
AND YET THE LETTER BASICALLY
SAYS HERE IS -- BASED ON THE
COLLECTIVE JUDGMENT OF THESE 51
THIS IS RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION
WITHOUT, AND YET 21 DECLINED.
THEY NEVER SAID THAT.
THIS IS BEING DONE AT LANGLEY?
>> YEAH.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE MORE
INTERESTING ASPECTS IN THE LAST
TWO DAYS OF NEWS COMING OUT.
THERE IS A REFERENCE TO A C.I.A.
EMPLOYEE WHO MAY HAVE PLAYED A
ROLE AS A FACILITATOR OF THE
LETTER.
THAT IS VERY TROUBLING BECAUSE
IT INDICATES THAT SOMEBODY WHO
HAS BEEN PAID BY THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE MAY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN
GIVING WHAT WAS CALLED A TALKING
POINT TO THEN CANDIDATE JOE
BIDEN.
WHEN BIDEN USED THE LETTER HE
NEVER MENTIONED HIS CAMPAIGN
PUSHED THE LETTER OR WAS
INVOLVED.
ANOTHER RECENT ALLEGATION IS
THAT THE CAMPAIGN HELPED
DETERMINE WHO IN THE MEDIA WOULD
FIRST GET THE LETTER.
THESE ARE ALL LEVELS OF
INVOLVEMENT THAT REALLY WE
WEREN’T AWARE OF EARLIER.
>> Bill: IT SEEMS THERE IS A
STRIKING LACK OF CURIOSITY ON
BEHALF OF MOST PEOPLE IN THE
MEDIA.
>> Dana: WE HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO
JASON CHAFFETZ FOR MAKING FUN OF
HIS BOOK "DEEP STATE." IT MIGHT
