RELEASED SOMETIME TODAY TO.
WILL, RACHEL, PETE.
WILL: CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT
MIGHT BE IN ROUND TWO.
WE CAN ONLY HOPE MANAGER THAT
DOES BRING IN OR CRYSTALLIZES
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE
DECISIONS MADE AT WITTER AND THE
IMPETUS -- AT TWITTER AND THE
GOVERNMENT.
PETE: THAT IS THE KEY CONNECTING
POINT.
IF THERE’S SOMETHING THERE,
YOU’VE GOT TO BELIEVE ELON MUSK
WOULD BE WILLING TO BRING IT UP
AT THIS POINT.
LET’S BRING IN MIRANDA DEVINE,
AUTHOR OF REQUEST -- "THE LAPTOP
FROM HELL."
MIRANDA, WHEN YOU SAW THAT
TWITTER THREAD LAST NIGHT
TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED
AT THE COMPANY PERTAIN THING TO
THE NEW YORK POST -- PERTAINING
TO THE NEW YORK POST, YOUR
REACTION.
>> LOOK, IT’S FANTASTIC THAT
ELON MUSK HAS CHOSEN TO MOVE THE
DIAL A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO THE
TRUTH FOR THE AMERICAN PUBLIC TO
UNDERSTAND EXACTLY THE
EGREGIOUSNESS OF WHAT WENT ON
BACK IN OCTOBER 2020 WHEN THE
NATION’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER,
FOURTH LARGEST BY CIRCULATION
WAS CENSORED BY BIG TECH IN
SERVICE TO ONE OF THE TWO
CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT.
THEY INTERFERED IN THE ELECTION.
SO IT’S FANTASTIC THAT ELON MUSK
HAS SORT OF OPENED THE TWITTER
FILES.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE LEFT OUT A
CRUCIAL ELEMENT, AND THAT WAS
THE INVOLVEMENT OF THE FBI.
AND IS WE KNOW THAT THE FBI WENT
TO TWITTER AND TO FACEBOOK, MARK
ZUCKERBERG’S TOLD US THAT THAT,
IN THE WEEKS AND DAYS BEFORE OUR
STORY CAME OUT TO WARN THEM OF A
SPECIFIC WHAT MARK ZUCKERBERG
CALLED A DUMP AND WHAT FBI AGENT
ELVIS CHAN WHO WAS JUST DEPOSED
IN A REPUBLICAN LAWSUIT THE LAST
ELVIS CHAN CALLED IT A HACK AND
LEAK OPERATION.
AND THAT IS WHAT HE TOLD TWITTER
EXECUTIVES, THAT THEY WERE
EXPECTING A HACK AND LEAK
OPERATION PROBABLY IN OCTOBER,
AND YAEL ROTH WHO WAS AT THAT
POINT TWITTER’S TOP MODERATOR --
HE’S NOW RESIGNED -- BASICALLY
THE HEAD OF SITE INTEGRITY, HE
WAS AT ONE OF THESE WEEKLY FBI
MEETINGS THAT WERE GOING ON WITH
THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS AND FBI
EVERY WEEK BEFORE THE 020
ELECTION, AND ROTH HAS SINCE
SAID IN A SWORN DECLARATION THAT
IN ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS THE FBI
WARNED OF THIS IMPENDING HACK
AND LEAK OPERATION POSSIBLY IN
OCTOBER AND SAID THAT THERE WERE
RUMORS -- THIS IS WHAT THE FBI
TOLD HIM -- THAT IT WOULD
INVOLVE HUNTER BIDEN.
AND THE REASON WHY THAT’S SO
IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE THE FBI AT
THAT POINT WAS SPYING ON RUDY
GIULIANI ABOUT A MONTH AFTER HE
BECAME THEN-PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP’S PRIVATE ATTORNEY.
THEY WERE SPYING ON HIS CLOUD,
SO THEY HAD ACCESS TO ALL HIS
E-MAILS AND ALL HIS IMESSAGES.
AND INCLUDING IN THOSE E-MAILS
IN AUGUST OF 2020 THE WAS THE
INITIAL E-MAIL FROM JOHN PAUL
McISAAC, THE COMPUTER REPAIR
SHOP GUY WHO HAD IN HIS
POSSESSION HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP
THAT HE HAD ABANDONED THERE
EIGHT MONTHS EARLIER.
AND HE TOLD RUDY GIULIANI
EXACTLY WHAT HE HAD FOUND ON IT
PARTICULARLY TO DO WITH BURISMA.
HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT NATIONAL
SECURITY.
HE INCLUDED SCREEN SHOTS.
THE FBI WOULD HAVE HAD ACCESS TO
ALL OF THAT BACK IN AUGUST OF
2020 --
WILL: RIGHT.
>> -- AND THEN ALSO WOULD HAVE
HAD ACCESS TO MY TEXT MESSAGES
WITH RUDY GIULIANI IF ABOUT
EXACTLY WHEN "THE NEW YORK POST"
WAS GOING TO PARISH. -- PUBLISH.
RACHEL: MIRANDA, THIS IS SO
DISTURBING.
IT’S SO BIG.
AND IT’S INTERESTING, THE FBI
SHOULD BE PROTECTING US FROM JOE
BIDEN --
[LAUGHTER]
AND HIS SON AND THE MARTIAL
SECURITY THREAT -- NATIONAL
SECURITY THREAT THEY ARE TO OUR
COUNTRY, AND YET THEY WERE
INVOLVED IN SUPPRESSING IT AND
ALTERING AN ELECTION IN THE
PROCESS.
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, PUTTING
OUR COUNTRY IN DANGER.
I MEAN, THE REVERSE OF WHAT
THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO DO.
BECAUSE NOW JOE BIDEN IS THE
PRESIDENT, AND HE IS PROBABLY
COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THESE
DIRTY DEALS THAT HE DO DID WITH
THE CHINESE, WITH UKRAINE AND
WITH THE RUSSIANS.
>> YES.
I MEAN, WE DON’T KNOW IF HE IS
COMPROMISED, BUT CERTAINLY IT’S
LOGICAL TO ASK THAT QUESTION
BECAUSE HIS FAMILY TOOK IN
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM OUR
GREATEST ADVERSARY, CHINA, NOT
TO MENTION RUSSIA AND UKRAINE
AND ROMANIA AND KAZAHKSTAN,
VARIOUS OTHER COUNTRIES.
BUT CHINA’S THE ONE THAT
MATTERS.
AND I REALLY THINK THAT THE
SINCE THE PRESIDENT HAS
OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN COMPLETELY
TRUTHFUL ABOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE AND
INVOLVEMENT IN HIS SON HUNTER
AND HIS BROTHER JIM’S OVERSEAS
BUSINESS DEALINGS WHEN HE WAS
VICE PRESIDENT, THOSE QUESTIONS
ARE ON MORE URGENT TO BE
ANSWERED --
WILL: RIGHT.
>> AND THAT’S WHY I THINK ELON
MUSK HAS DONE THE COUNTRY A REAL
SERVICE HERE.
AND LET’S HOPE THAT IN HIS PART
TWO THAT HE ACTUALLY DOES REVEAL
MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE FBI AND
ALSO ABOUT JIM BAKER.
THERE WAS ONE TANTALIZING E-MAIL
THAT WAS RELEASED LAST NIGHT
FROM JIM BAKER WHO WAS AT THAT
POINT TWITTER’S DEPUTY GENERAL
COUNSEL, TOP LAWYER IN EFFECT.
HE HAD COME TO TWITTER FROM THE
FBI WHERE HE HAD BEEN THE FBI’S
GENERAL COUNSEL.
SO I THINK THE FBI WAS TRYING TO
PRE-CENSOR A STORY BECAUSE, AS
WE KNOW FROM IF JAMES COMEY ON,
THEY WERE DOING THEIR BEST TO
DAMAGE AND DESTROY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
WILL: REALLY QUICKLY, AND I’M
GLAD THAT YOU HIGHLIGHT,
MIRANDA, WHAT WE ALL MOW TO BE
TRUE, THIS STORY IS ABOUT
POTENTIAL CORRUPTION.
THERE’S AN EFFORT ON THE LEFT TO
TRY TO MAKE THIS A STORY ABOUT
DECENCY, MEANING IT WAS ABOUT
NUDE PICS OF HUNTER BIDEN.
THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT THAT, AND
IT WASN’T ABOUT HACKED
MATERIALS, IT WAS ABOUT
CORRUPTION.
ON THAT NOTE, AND I WANT TO SAVE
A MINUTE TO GET TO ONE OTHER
THING YOU’RE REPORTING, YOU
FOCUS SEVERAL TIMES ON THE FBI
IN THIS CONVERSATION.
WHAT AM I TO MAKE THOUGH OF THE
ENTIRE INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS?
IT WAS NOT JUST THE FBI
AFTERWARDS THAT CALLED THIS
RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION.
IT WAS CIA, THE ENTIRE AMERICAN
INTELLIGENCE APPARATUS THAT
WAVED THEIR HAND, DISMISSED THIS
STORY.
>> YOU MAKE AN INCREDIBLY GOOD
POINT, THAT’S RIGHT.
THERE WAS THAT BOGUS LETTER FOUR
DAYS AFTER OUR STORY WRITTEN BY
THE 51 FORMER INTELLIGENCE
OFFICIALS -- OFFICIALS INCLUDING
FOUR OR FIVE CIA DIRECTORS,
FORMER CIA DIRECTORS OR ACTING
CIA DIRECTORS, PEOPLE LIKE JAMES
CLAPPER AND JOHN BRENNAN, LEON A
A PANETTA, PEOPLE WHO USED THE
AUTHORITY OF THEIR FORMER HIGH
OFFICES TO THE PRETEND THAT THE
HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP WAS RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION WHEN THEY KNEW IT
WASN’T.
AND JOE BIDEN USED THAT LETTER
IN HIS DEBATE A COUPLE OF DAYS
LATER EXISTENCE DONALD TRUMP,
THE FINAL -- AGAINST DONALD
TRUMP, THE FINAL DEBATE, AND
BASICALLY THE LETTER GOT HIM OFF
THE HOOK.
SO, YES, I THINK IT WAS A DEEP
STATE COLLUSION, COORDINATION TO
INSURE THAT DONALD TRUMP DIDN’T
WIN THE ELECTION.
PETE: ABSOLUTELY.
WILL ALLUDED TO IT, MIRANDA, THE
NEW YORK POST HAS A HEADLINE,
HUNTER BIDEN’S FORMER LAW FIRM
RECEIVED $10 MILLION IN POR
GIVEN COVID LOANS -- FORGIVEN
COVID LOANS WHILE DONATING $1
MILLION TO DEMOCRATS WHAT’S THE
STORY HERE?
>> THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION BY
AN INDEPENDENT TRANSPARENCY
ORGANIZATION CALLED OPEN THE
BOOKS, AND THEY LOOKED AT 300 OF
THE TOP LAW FIRMS IN THE
COUNTRY, SAW WHAT PPP LOANS THEY
GOT DURING THE PANDEMIC WHEN
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR MOM
AND POP BUSINESSES TO HELP THEM
GET THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.
IT CERTAINLY WASN’T SOMETHING
THAT A TOP LAW FIRM WHERE HUNTER
BIDEN HAD WORKED, HAD BEEN PAID
$216,000 A YEAR FOR THIS NO-SHOW
JOB WHERE HE DIDN’T HAVE TO
ATTEND MEETINGS OR TURN UP WITH
REGULAR OFFICE HOURS.
THIS COMPANY, THEIR
DEMOCRATIC -- THEY’RE DEMOCRATIC
DONORS.
THEY GOT 10 MILLION PLUS IN
PANDEMIC LOANS, AND THAT WAS THE
ALL FORGIVEN UNDER THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IN 2021 AT THE
SAME TIME THEY DONATED AROUND
ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS TO
DEMOCRATIC FEDERAL CANDIDATES.
PETE: IT’S AMAZING.
HOW WASHINGTON WORKS.
WILL: THANK YOU, MIRANDA.
