Welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show. I'm Greg Jarrett.
Happy to be with you filling in for Sean today.

calls very shortly. And I see we have a couple
(01:35):
of people on the board. We appreciate If you want
to join the show, all you have to do is
call one eight hundred and nine four one seventy three
twenty six one eight hundred nine four one Sean happy
to hear from you. Well, the big news a couple
of days ago the disclosure that the FBI and the
Department of Justice are investigating James Comy and John Brennan,
(02:03):
formerly the FBI Director and CIA director, respectively, and it's
based on a CIA review that came out about ten
days ago a week ago. Really, the CIA finally confirming
what I wrote in a book called witch Hunt six
years ago, that it was John Brennan who insisted that
(02:27):
the phony anti Trump dossier be included in the classified
Intel Assessment, the official impromoter document of the intelligence agencies,
even though Brennan knew the dossier was a collection of lies.
Now why would he do that, Well, he needed the
(02:49):
dossier in the Intel report because it gave the dossier
credibility so that when Brennan and Comy and Clapper leaked
it to the media, reporter would run wild with it,
and of course they did. Comy and Clapper were all
in on Brennan's scheme. All of them together exploited the
(03:10):
Intel report and the dossier to try to drive Trump
from office, falsely accusing him of colluding with Russia when
they knew he didn't. Joining me now to talk more
about it. Editor in chief of Just the News, John Solomon,
And you know, John has been out front in all
(03:31):
of this news since you know, the corruption with Comy
and Brennan began way back in twenty and sixteen. And
John is such a fine investigative reporter. He's broken more
news on this stompic than anybody. So it's excellent that
we have John with us today. And John, thanks so much.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
For being with us.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I note your most recent column that came out today
is entitled Russia Gates Secrets Unlocked. So tell us a
bit more.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
It's going to be a good thing. But first I
just want to shout you out because chapter two of
which Hunt was the place where it was first so
solidified that Brendan's testimony was never true, that Mike Rogers
had undercut him, and now we know even the top
Russia officers at the CIA were undercutting Brendan. But props
(04:24):
to you in that great book. I go back to
that book often, Greg, because at the end of the day,
whenever I'm doing a new one, there's such great focus.
And you've used the word conspiracy many times. And I
do believe right now that the Justice Department is looking
for the first time at whether what happened from early
July twenty sixteen to the present may have been an
(04:47):
ongoing conspiracy by a large group of people, including President Obama,
John Brennan, James Comy, and others, because they had to
have known what they were doing was based on false information.
Why is that we forget a a very important passage
in the Durham Report that came out because the Durham
Report was check full of lots of things. But there
is intelligence that comes in to the top of the
(05:10):
United States government, and he's brief directly to President Obama
in July that there is a Clinton plan to hang
a Russian shingle on Donald Trump's campaign house. And that
means that when they open up on July thirty first,
they already know that what they're probably looking at is
a political dirty trick. And when you take the fact
(05:31):
that Brennan was the guy that told Obama about it,
you take the fact that Brennan tries to get the
doss and does get the doss into the ICA, but
blinds it on the FBI says he didn't overrule anyone.
When he did, he's clearly covering up for something. And
I think at the end of the day, for the
first time, the Justice Department is beginning to look at
this long period of time, a ten year period like
(05:52):
you treated it in which Hunt, like you've treated it
in your great columns, which is this may very well
have been a detailed conspiration, and a conspiracy case can
be brought years after the statute of limitations has brought
if you have some events in the Statute of limitations,
and so if there's testimony in twenty three and twenty
four that isn't truthful, that's designed to cover up what
(06:13):
happened in sixteen, you can tie it all together. I
think we might be moving in that direction for the
first time. Greg in your book would be the opening
chapter of the indictment.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I think, yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And you know, so long ago I laid out the
potential crimes by all of these people, and which included conspiracy,
defrauding the government, deprivation of rights under color of law.
Of course, you know, false statements, as I identified in
my most recent column. On Wednesday, it came out. You
(06:46):
can see it on Foxnews dot com or my own website,
Thegreg Jarrett dot com. So you know, these guys knew
that this was fabricated evidence, that they were using this
Portuguez case against Donald Trump. So that's deprivation of rights,
it's defrauding the government. It's a conspiracy if two or
(07:07):
more people were involved, and there were a lot of
people involved.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
And.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You know, they exploited it as a basis to investigate Trump.
They used it to come he used it to obtain
spy warrants, deceiving the FISA court judges. He vouched for
Steele's document as credible when he knew it wasn't. He
called Steel reliable, but he didn't tell the judges though.
(07:33):
By the way, I fired him for a line. So
he wasn't you know, responsible. I mean, the statute limitations
on all of that stuff is told or suspended if
the incriminating evidence is fraudulently concealed, and this was. So
(07:54):
there's a lot here for prosecutors to look at her,
don't you.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Oh, there's no doubt, And I think what you're seeing
in the story that we broke this morning that you
reference is there's an effort now to free from the
FISI Court's domain some evidence that has been sitting there
for a long time. We've talked many times on Sean
Show and other places about the classified annex of the
Inspector General's Office on Russia coclusion that blew the whistle
on the Fight succeating there are all these interviews that
(08:23):
were conducted as part of that review. Many of them
have evidence of potential crimes that aren't related to the
Fight Support, but because they had some PHIS information, the
Fight Support wasn't going to allow them to be released.
What Cash Mattel did in the last few days as
he went to the FI Support and said, listen, we'll
take out the PISA stuff now because we know all
about that. We'll protect that. But if we do that,
(08:44):
please let us take the other parts of these interviews
that the IG got or transcripts of court proceedings that
don't reference the parts that don't reference Edgy, and let's
give that to Congress. Let's give that to the prosecutors
downstream from them, and the new judge on the Fight
sup Court gave the okay for that. This is a
treasure trove of documents that either we have tantalizing hints
of what it is, but then it says in the
(09:05):
igber open it's costic bad. We can't tell you what
we know about it. This is the whole body of evidence.
You take that with what we learned from the CIA.
If you're a prosecutor, you have a new body of evidence.
As much as we learned over last decade, there are
still thirty to fifty percent of the scandal and the
twists and turns of the cover up and the conspiracy
that most Americans and most members of Congress have yet
(09:27):
to see. Cash Pttel has set in motion the opportunity
to open that treasure trove box of evidence, and that
might ignite the sort of conspiracy case that you have
so eloquently laid out over the years.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
So I've got to think that James Comey and John
Brennan are sweating this thing out right now. Jason, I
want to play a clip if I can. You know,
because Brennan came out and he decided he was going
to try to get out front of this and he
said he's totally clueless about it, so here it.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Is quite fructly. I don't know what is true.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
You know, there's so many things that get out into
the media bloodstream, and it's interesting that it was I
think Fox News and the posts or reporting things like this.
So I don't know whether or not there's any abilidity
to it. If there is, it was referral if there
is an investigation. Presumably if there is an investigation that
people will be questioned. I would be questioned about it.
(10:26):
But again I've had no contact from them. But again
I testified in front of many many congressional committees in
the House and the Senate over the years, and I
continue to explain exactly what we did during this process,
why we tried to make sure we stay true to
our intelligence responsibilities and that we were not going to
do anything at all to try to interfere in that election.
(10:48):
And again, it was a challenging time, but also one
I think that the people who actually worked this, both
in terms of trying to collect intelligence prior to the
election and then the ones who put together he tells
me assessment, they really I think showed the best of
what the intelligence community and what CIA is made of.
So again I am clueless about what it is exactly
(11:10):
that they may be investigating me for.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Well, Brennan was always intellectually clueless, but he's not clueless
about what he did. And in point of fact, you know,
he testified numerous times, and it's you know, when you
testify a lot and you're lying a lot, it's hard
to keep your story straight. But he testified pretty consistently
(11:33):
over and over again that he did not push for
the dossier to be included in the ICA, the Intelligence
Community Assessment. And yet the review that came out by
the CIA, thanks to John Ratcliffe just about ten days ago,
and I'm quoting here, Brennan ultimately formalized his position in
(11:57):
writing stating that quote. My bottom line is I believe
the information, meaning the dossier, warrants inclusion in the report.
So in writing is contradicting his sworn testimony. I mean,
(12:18):
you know, John, you've seen a lot of smoking gun
documents in your day, but that strikes me as one
of them.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yeah. No, listen, it is a smoking gun. It is
material evidence. I want to when you take this action
in December, and that's why I think now we're beginning
to hear people inside the Justice Department in the FBI
talked about things like a conspiracy from a criminal investigation perspective.
I want to remind everybody what John Brennan's notes of
(12:46):
his conversation with President Obama on August third, twenty sixteen,
because it makes what John Brennan does and trying to
push to get the Steele dossier into the ICA all
the more troubling from people. The handwritten notes from John
(13:09):
Brennan of what he told the president was that Hillary
Clinton had approved on July twenty sixth, proposal from one
of her campaign advisors to develify Donald Trump by stirring
up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.
That is directly the intelligence that John Brennan shared with
(13:30):
President Obama and others on that day. That means he
knew the Steele dasse produced by the Hillary campaign was
part of that fake scandal effort. To have that prior
information of what he told President Obama and then pushed
to put a document he knew it was a political
dirty trick into an official intelligence assessment over the objections,
(13:53):
over the objections of his own Russia experts in the
CIA is extraordinary, not just the fact that his testimony
is false right or contradicted by his own emails. It's
the continuation of a plan that they knew Hillary Clinton
was trying to create a fake scandal, and the CIA
and the FBI were going to give credence to that
fake scandal, knowing it was a fake scandal because it
(14:15):
would further a political rather than an intelligence cause. And
I think for the first time people are starting to realize, Hey,
Barack Obama was told what was going on, and then
his people gave a legitimate gave legitimacy to a scandal
that was completely bogus. That looks like the very conspiracy
you laid out in your great book. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I mean, it's really incredible because Brennan's own top deputy
of analysis warned him in writing, you cannot put this
dossier in the intelligence assessment because it was junk, and
they all knew it was junk, but Brennan insisted on
(14:57):
doing it. So you've got another small looking gun document
that implicates John Brennan again. John Solomon's most recent column
go to Justthnews dot com Russia Gates Secrets Unlocked. The
inimitable John Solomon, one of the best investigative reporters in America.
(15:20):
Thank you for taking the time. Appreciate it. John, take care.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Awesome, great to be with you.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
We're gonna pause TI quick break. We'll be back with
more of the Sean Hennity Show. I'm Greg Jarrett. Our
number is one eight hundred nine four one seventy three
twenty six, eight hundred ninety four one Sean, and I'm
Greg Jarrett filling in for Shawn on the Sean Hannity Show.
We've been talking about the Trump Russia collusion hoax. It
(15:50):
is one of the worst cases of corruption ever and
I think the dirtiest trick in political history. And make
no mistake, the media bears equal blame. They were driven
by their hatred of Trump, which made them accessories in
the hoax. They convicted him the court of public opinion
(16:13):
with no real evidence whatsoever. And after two years, when
the Mueller Report came out and said there is no
criminal collusion conspiracy between Trump and Russia, it blew an
absolute hole in the credibility the trust of the mainstream media.
(16:38):
How did they react. There was no apology, there was
no maya culpa. They simply moved seamlessly to their next
faux scandal involving Donald Trump pretty shameless, and that's where
the media is today.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
One to start with this week in RUSSI again, it
is as if there are no shoes on the Trump
human centipede that are not about Russia.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 7 (17:09):
This cloud about collusion with Russia will hang over him
no matter where he stands.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
It certainly feels like we're in the opening stages of
a devastating political chapter in American history.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Evidence is mounting for the president's meddling in the Russia probe.
Speaker 7 (17:23):
Tom Friedman said the election hacking is at the caliber
of a pearl harbor or a nine to eleven.
Speaker 8 (17:30):
Do you agree with that?
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I completely agree with that.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Donald Trump now sits at the threshold of impeachment.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
I personally think it's over. I don't think there's anything
that can be done that can stop this at this point. Cacophony,
this gushing of lies, problems, questions, chaos that will stop
this presidency in its tracks. You told the Washington Post
last week that quote, there's a smell of treason in
the air when it comes to this investigation.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
A lot of people are free to use the tad treason.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
But in the end, that's what people are investigating.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
It does look like collusion.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
It does look like he's listening to putin more than
he is American intelligence, and frankly, I've never seen that before.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
And so what you were listening to is a compilation
of commentary by journalists and pundits. And there were only
two kinds, idiots and morons. And it's even worse than
that because they were mean, they were malicious, and they
(18:34):
abandoned the principles of honesty in journalism, integrity. You forget
about being neutral or fair or objective. They didn't want
to be. And so is it any wonder that Americans
(18:55):
no longer trust the mainstream media. Let's go to our
color line. Joining us now is Janet in New Mexico. Janet.
I love the name. It's my sister's name. So thanks
for hanging on. Do you have a question or a comment?
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Yes, it's a pleasure to speak with you. Well, it
just reminded me. John Brennan had also signed the letter,
along with fifty other former Intelligent officials, stating that the
Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian operation, and that was
later refuted. So he's involved in quite a few things,
(19:35):
isn't he.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Oh, he absolutely is. I mean, and you know, it's
so typical of his people. There were so many people,
I think fifty one total, who pretended they were knowledgeable
people in the intelligence community. They still had at the
time security clearances, and they abused that that clearance and
(19:58):
they created this incredible illusion which was totally false and
they had to have known it was false, but they
didn't care because they figured that their letter, coming on
basically the eve of the twenty twenty presidential election, would
save Joe Biden and damage Donald Trump. But it did.
(20:21):
I mean, it was diabolical. It was despicable. And you know,
all of those people, none of them have ever apologized
for what it is they did. They're proud of what
they did. And yeah, it's awful, isn't it, Janet? I mean,
(20:42):
it's terrible.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
It is.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
I'm glad it's going to be uncovered. I hope that
it's far reaching and judgment is or justice is finally
served to several people. So thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
My pleasure, you know, just picking up up on what
Janet said.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
The difficulty, though, is if you bring a case you
got to bring it in Washington, d C. Yeah, Langley's
out in Virginia not much better. But you know, if
it's a false statement perjury case, a conspiracy case, most
of it took place in Washington, d C. So you'd
have to present the evidence to a grand jury. And
(21:21):
let's assume, for the sake of argument, you do get
an indictment, the trial would be in you know, the
venue of Washington, D C. The absolute worst place to
bring a case against a Democrat in a politically charged
prosecution that involves the subject matter of Donald Trump, and
(21:47):
they hate him there. He got six point six percent
of the vote in the last election November of twenty
twenty four. Kamala got ninety two plus percent of the vote.
And you know, if you think I'm overstating it, I'll
(22:08):
point out a couple of cases brought against Democrats in which,
to me, they had the goods on them. Greg Craig
acquitted Igor Danchenko. They really had the goods on him.
You know, he was the guy who supplied the phony
information to Christopher Steele. Where did dan Chenko get it from?
(22:30):
A Hillary acolyte acquitted? So, you know, bringing a case
against somebody like James Comey and John Brennan. They're heroes
to the people who live in Washington, d C. It's
(22:51):
a venue like no other in America, and that I
think would be the real challenge. Let's go to Amy
from Kentucky who joins us. Now, Hi, Amy, how are you.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Good?
Speaker 6 (23:04):
Greg? Thank you so much for taking my call. It's
a little off of the Russia Hopes narrative. But I
have a question for you as a legal expert. I
read today that there was a new hands judge that
issued an order stopping the birth Rate Citizenship Executive Order,
and I thought the Supreme Court said that federal judges
(23:27):
cannot do this. So my question to you, is a
legal expert, is will just hold up and how long
do you think it's going to come up?
Speaker 8 (23:34):
The works for this?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Well, so you're absolutely right in pointing that out what
the Supreme Court did with say you, lower court federal judges,
district court judges, you cannot issue nationwide injunctions. It's an
abuse of your authority unless you certify a class action
(23:58):
that's nationwide. And that is essentially what this judge has
done relative to birthright citizenship. Now I don't object to
it and here's the reason why, because it will bring
to the foe all the way to the US Supreme Court.
And I think rather quickly the issue of birthright citizenship
(24:19):
and Donald Trump's order interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment as meaning not,
you know, automatic citizenship to children of people here illegally.
And I wrote a column on this, and the title
of the column, if I recall correctly, was Trump has
(24:39):
a legitimate argument on birthright citizenship. And what I did
was I went back to the framers of the fourteenth
Amendment and those who sponsored it, and I examined their
debate and discussions. I believe it was Lyman Trumbull, Senator
who seemed to make it that he was not meaning
(25:03):
to grant citizenship under the circumstance stances I just describe,
because at the time it was meant to give citizenship
to formerly enslaved people and their children. But it has
been contorted, arguably to mean something else. And so the
(25:30):
Supreme Court, when the issued that landmark decision a couple
of weeks ago, three weeks ago now the end of
the term, last day of the term, saying no more
nationwide injunctions, they had a caveat in there for class actions,
and that's how this case was brought about. So great question, Amy,
I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Let me go to Jim, who joins us now from Ohio. Hi, Jim,
how are you hey?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Thanks?
Speaker 6 (25:57):
Greg?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
You know it always occurred to me. Are not ignorant,
you know, I mean we didn't we all see through it, right,
I mean it just smelled fake that the fake dossier.
I always thought it kind of helped Trump rather than hurt,
you know. And I just don't know why they don't
use the strategies we do and just get credible candidates, honest,
(26:19):
proven results candidates.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
You know.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
But and I guess my question would be to ask
your opinion, if fake news does not work, I mean,
why do they continue to try it?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
I mean, yeah, because they're fundamentally stupid people that are
driven by their own prejudices, their political biases. That's my
blunt response to that. But you know, it did not
help Donald Trump, the dossier in and you know, the
(26:53):
Russia hoax, even though it was utterly deflated by them
all report, but you know, it hung over it an
he lost the twenty twenty election to Joe Biden. So
you know, but I sort of look back on this
whole thing, and I think, you know, Trump learned a
lot in his first term by virtue of that fake
(27:15):
scandal and the phony dossier and the whole witch hunt.
And he learned just how malevolent the deep state is
and how embedded and endemic it is in Washington, DC.
And you know, he he became a lot smarter in choosing,
(27:36):
for example, people in his cabinet, people like you know,
Cash Bettel, Pam Blondie. You know, the list goes on
and on. You know, I Secretary of Transportation was a
brilliant pick. I mean all of them. Treasury Secretary Scott
(27:56):
Present really smart people, much better than his original choices
in his first term, and the guy came out blazing.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I did a podcast a couple of weeks ago in
which I started off by saying, have you ever seen
a president achieved so much so quickly within the first
four or five months? Foreign policy, domestic policy, huge wins
before the United States Supreme Court. So maybe looking at
(28:29):
it optimistically, things worked out the way they were supposed
to do, and that Trump now is having a much
better second term that he would have otherwise had he
prevailed in twenty twenty. So you know that's my take
on that. Let me go to Herb who joins us
(28:50):
from Missouri. Hi, Herb, how are you?
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I am fine? Five years ago I concluded that the
puppet mass is Obama chose Joe Biden specifically because he
was he had a severe form and progress in dementia.
I took care of my dad for his last few
years with dementia, and I could see it all over
(29:15):
Joe Biden. Back then. Then they were able to do
all these terrible things that almost destroy America and get
the general public to blame it on Biden instead of
going after the people behind him. That's what you must do.
In nineteen sixty three, I had a communist political science professor,
(29:38):
and I started following Bill Ayres around southern California at
the various colleges del He and I are both eighty
years old now, and I believe that he is still
the one pulling all the strings. His life's goal was
to destroy the United States of America and turn it
(29:58):
into the United in the States of America.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
So, you know, it's an interesting point that you make.
I don't think Joe Biden was handpicked by anybody. I
think he was the accidental president who hit out in
the basement and would never have been elected but for
the pandemic and the help of Congressman James Clyburn in
(30:23):
South Carolina. If you're looking for somebody to blame for
Joe Biden, for my money, it's Cliburn. We're gonna pause,
take a quick break. We'll be right back with more
of the Sean Hannity Show. I'm Greg Jarrett. We'll be
right back Sean Hannity, And coming up next, we have
(30:51):
a really terrific author and investigative reporter by the name
of Peter Schweitzer. You know him, author of a variety
of must read books. Peter is going to be joining
us in just a moment to talk more about the
Trump Russia collusion. Oaks
