all right sandra let's bring in katie
pavlich editor of townhall.com and fox
news contributors let's go back to
yesterday when uh alison sands an fbi
agent testified that an fbi
communication to launch this whole thing
indicated that the information about
trump russia came from the doj here's
what that communication said on or about
september 19 2016 fbi received a
referral of information from the u.s
department of justice detailing an
unusually configured email server in
pennsylvania belonging to the trump
organization in that referral the
department of justice provided the fbi
with a white paper that was produced by
an anonymous third party according to
the white paper a us-based server that's
owned by the trump organization has been
communicating with the russian-based
alpha bank organization in moscow russia
that information didn't come from the
doj right it came from sussman attached
to the hillary clinton campaign exactly
you know this trial is not only bringing
up obviously the question of whether
sussman lied to the fbi which is why the
trial is going on but it's the issue of
the unethical and corrupt behavior that
was going on at the fbi during that
election so sussman was being oddly
protected by fbi brass while they were
telling agents to investigate this open
up a counterintelligence investigation
within days of the so-called white paper
that came from doj which really came
from sussman to go all in on the trump
campaign as a result of these
allegations and further when you look at
the statements that were being made at
the time by the clinton campaign and
then you go back to the text messages
that you saw from counterintelligence
agents like peter struck for example and
lisa page saying trump must be stopped
saying there had political ambitions to
use the fbi to stop his election fast
forward to november when this
information is being pushed covered up
by the brass at the fbi it all came full
circle and they were absolutely happy to
continue it and then one of the worst
parts about this is and there's a lot to
choose from is that the fbi looked at it
found nothing to be true and yet
continued forward it forward with it
james comey who became the the director
of the fbi uh and went to have that
meeting with donald trump at trump tower
he went to the white house that all
escalated into a special counsel
investigation and it just shows how
important it has been that john durham
has been a special
investigation on this because we would
never know the details of the corruption
and how deep it goes at the fbi so do
you think that there are any
implications here for former obama
administration staffers
former obama staffers or officials let's
talk about biden administration
officials if you go back to the timeline
here of november 1st 2016 it was jake
sullivan who was hillary clinton's
national security advisor on the
campaign released this lengthy statement
saying that journalists have found this
new information when it was the clinton
campaign that gave the journalists this
information hoping that they would
disseminate it hoping an fbi
investigation would get launched to
attack the trump campaign he is now
president joe biden's national security
adviser in charge of the national
security and giving the president
information so if he was pushing this
false narrative knowing that it was
coming from the clinton campaign that
the fbi was possibly going to open up an
investigation on this how can he be
trusted with matters of national
security for the country and certainly
hillary clinton was championing it as as
well and
here's how you connect the dots hillary
clinton
at a meeting said yeah okay dish this to
slate right right which was first to
publish it and then tweeted the slate
argue uh this late article saying
computer scientists have apparently
uncovered a covert server linking the
trump organization to a russian-based
bank so she okays
giving the information to slate and then
doesn't oh my goodness can you believe
this tweet well and the the clinton
campaign has kind of acted like we got
this information we were very concerned
this trial is showing more and more and
we know a lot about this through the
investigative work of reporters who have
been willing to look at this over the
last couple of years that this was not
just a one-off
uh situation this was a very planned
operation from the clinton clinton
campaign to the fbi the fbi was covering
for sussman and he had a badge to the
building even though he was working at a
private law firm and for the clinton
campaign so it brings up all kinds of
other questions but it certainly just
shows how deep the rot uh was and
possibly still is given a lot of these
people are still working in government
have been promoted like jake sullivan
is at the fbi it's a very big onion with
a lot of layers now it doesn't smell
very good
