Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello everybody. I'm Greg Jarrett. Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
I'll be filling in over the next couple of days
while Sean is off. I'm a Fox News legal analyst
at attorney by trade, a defense attorney. Before we do anything, though,
I do want to offer our sincere thoughts and prayers
(00:23):
the families of the people in Texas who have lost
their loved ones. We know at least one hundred and
nineteen people are dead in the flooding there. One hundred
and seventy others are still missing. So again, our prayers
to the people of Texas. Well, let's move along to
(00:44):
our main subject today and you'll find it actually on
my website at Thegreg Jared dot Com. A new CIA
report finally reveals the secret plot to take down President Trump.
And in fact, late yesterday we found out Fox News
(01:06):
exclusively that the Department of Justice and the FBI are
now investigating criminally the former CIA director John Brennan and
the former FBI director James Comy. And this is long overdue.
It took only nine years when you think about it,
(01:31):
But in my opinion, the crooked duo of James Commy
and John Brennan are finally blatedly maybe going to be
held to account. They could and should, in my opinion,
be indicted and prosecuted for their diabolical scheme to frame
Donald Trump in the infamous Russia hoax. Brennan and Comy
(01:56):
were instrumental in perpetrating the dirty trick in American political history,
and their goal was to drive Trump from office, not
because he did anything wrong, not because he was a
stealth Kremlin agent now, but because these people like Comy
(02:19):
and Brennan and Clapper and Obama and Hillary and the
whole gang, they hated Donald Trump. They loathed his policies,
They despise the person. So what did they do. They
conjured up a phony case against Trump by pedaling a
(02:39):
pernicious lie that Trump colluded with Russia to rig the
twenty sixteen presidential election. And their principal peace of so
called evidence was a document that was known infamously as
the Dossier Now. It was scretly financed by Hillary Clinton's campaign.
(03:03):
It was written by an ex British spy thought he
was James Bond, but he was really Inspector Clouseau. And
then they leaked it to everybody, particularly the Trump hating media,
and the dossier itself was complete garbage, so much so
that Comy's FBI debunked it almost immediately. They even fired
(03:28):
the dossier's author, Christopher Steele for line as a source.
But Kony conceal those inconvenient facts and exploited the document
as this cudgel to bludgeon the newly elected president. Comy
also stole and leaked even more specious documents to deliberately
(03:53):
trigger the Special Council, his old friend and mentor, Bob Muller,
who in the end, two years later found no Trump
Russia collusion conspiracy. It was, as the title of my
first book, the Russia Hoax. Comey was aided and embedded
by others in the intel community, Brennan and James Clapper,
(04:17):
the Director of National Intelligence. All of them plotted to
smear Trump and to ruin him politically. Now is that
criminal fraud on the government? Sure looks like it to me.
Is it a conspiracy to deprive Trump of his rights
under color of law? Which is a federal crime?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
As a lawyer, I'd say so. Last week, the current
CIA director John Ratcliffe declassified and released an internal agency
review of what those guys did. I'm tempted to call
it stunning, but it's really not, because there's almost nothing
(05:02):
in that new CIA report that wasn't already in my
book called witch Hunt, that came out in twenty nineteen,
six years ago. Citing previously hidden records, this CIA review
concluded that Brennan in particular, pushed for the phony dossier
(05:23):
to be included in an important document known as the
Intelligence Community Assessment, otherwise known as the ICA. They did
it to propel this false narrative against Trump. Senior CIA
experts on Russia objected strenuously. What did Brennan do? He
(05:46):
sidelined them, He silenced them. The CIA Deputy director was
so outraged he warned Brennan in writing, you can't do this.
If you include the dossier in any capacity, you will
jeopardize quote, the credibility of the entire intelligence assessment. Brennan
(06:10):
didn't care. He directed exactly how the Intel assessment would
be written. He even hand picked the analysts who compiled
the bogus information, and to stifled dissent which was growing,
thirteen other key INTEL agencies were deliberately excluded. To put
(06:33):
it bluntly, Donald Trump was set up. According to the
New CIA Review, Comy and Clapper were all in on
Brennan's scheme. In an interview with The New York Post
last week, Radcliffe said, and I'm quoting here, this was Obama, Comy, Clapper,
and Brennan deciding we're going to screw Trump. All of
(06:57):
them knew the dossier was junk, which motivated them to
prop it up as reliable. How did they do that?
They put it in the ICA, and then they leaked
it and propagated it as mutual corroboration. It was a
clever ruse An illusion. They went out there and they
(07:18):
said to the media, the dossier has to be true
because it's in the intelligence assessment. In my book, witch Hunt,
I exposed what John Brennan did, how he insisted that
the dossier be included in the classified intel report. But
(07:40):
then he appeared before Congress and under oath said that
the dossier was quote not in any way used as
the basis for the Intelligence community assessment, and James Clapper's
testimony the DNI nearly identical. Let me quote from chapter
two of my book. Brennan and Clapper were spinning a deception.
(08:05):
A prominent colleague contradicted them and produced documents as proof
that they were not telling the truth. In a classified
letter to Congress, NSA director Michael Rogers disclosed that the
uncorroborated document the dossier, did factor into the ICA report,
(08:26):
having been caught in a falsehood. Clapper then repudiated his
earlier statement. Brennan continued to deny it all. End of
quote chapter two. Neither Brennan nor Clapper was ever prosecuted
for perjury, and neither was James Comy, who knew the
(08:48):
dossier was pure fiction, but he used it to sign
three separate warrant applications to spy on Trump associate Carter Page.
Receiving the FISA court, he told the court that the
dossier was credible. He told the court and the judges
(09:09):
that Christopher Steele was reliable. He didn't tell him he'd
fired Steele for line. He didn't tell him that he
knew that dossier was junk. What did the judges do?
They believed Comie, and they issued the warrants to spy,
(09:29):
which gave the FBI a back door to spy on
the entire Trump campaign. None of that seemed to bother
news organizations, MSNBC promptly hired Brennan. Clapper went to work
for CNN, and I described in my book what they
(09:51):
did from their new media purchases. Purchase here's a quote.
The two super spooks an all out attack on Trump,
exploiting their new television platforms to advance the toxic fiction
that the president was a secret Russian asset who colluded
(10:11):
with Putin in the bowels of the Kremlin. It didn't
matter to CNN that a House Intelligence Committee report determined
it was Clapper who had leaked news of the phony
dossier to the network before Trump had ever taken office.
So did he give it to He gave it to
(10:33):
Jake Tapper, Jake the fake Tapper, CNN's lead anchor. So
when you think about it, the collusion narrative itself was
a conspiracy. The collaborators like Comyan, Clapper, and Brennan, they
knew it was all alive. They manipulated the dossier and
(10:56):
the intelligence community assessment to pedal their fairy tale with
Hillary and her confederates. They engineered the Russia hoax. Any
crimes committed here, that's the question. Now that the DOJ
and the FBI have a criminal investigation of Coming and Brennan.
(11:18):
What potential charges might they be looking at? Well, the
first comes to mind is perjury and making false statements.
Another one is conspiracy against rights under color of law.
It's eighteen Usc. Two one two. What does it mean.
It means when two or more people plot to violate
(11:41):
somebody's constitutional or federal rights. Here, Donald Trump, while acting
under the authority of law, you're committing a crime. Fabricating
evidence to support a criminal case would absolutely qualify as
(12:02):
deprivation of rights. Also, election interference, depriving somebody of their
right to vote or the right to hold federal office.
So I think that's something that the Department of Justice
will be looking at. Now, what about the statute of limitations.
I've heard several people say, you can't bring any criminal charges.
(12:24):
Statute limitations is run. So the statute of limitations on conspiracy,
on perjury, on false statements is five years. On government fraud,
the statute of limitations is seven years. But wait a minute.
The statute of limitations is told, which is a legal term.
(12:48):
What does it mean? It means suspended If the incriminating
evidence is concealed fraudulently, the statute then begins to run
or commits the very moment all of that hidden evidence
is discovered. So if the newly constituted CIA under Radcliffe
(13:10):
and other agencies like the FBI under Cash Betel have
found recently incriminating evidence that Brennan and Comy or others
lied or committed fraud or deprived constitutional rights, any charges
are not barred by the statutal limitations. So we're going
(13:35):
to have to see where this goes. I am going
to be talking very shortly with Mike Davis, who was
the founder and president of Article three project. We're going
to be talking about James Comy and John Brennan and
James Clapper and Peter Struck and Lisa Page and the
whole gang that, in my judgment at least should have
(13:56):
had criminal charges brought against them long ago. I'm Greg
Jarrett filling in for Sean Hannity on the Sean Hannity Show.
You can follow me on x at Greg Jarrett, go
to my website Dgreg Jarrett dot com, and a bit
later on we'll be taking your telephone calls. All you
have to do is call us at eight hundred nine
(14:18):
four one seven three two six or call us at
eight hundred nine four to one. Sean love to hear
your questions or comments, so give us a call. But
coming up very shortly Mike Davis, the founder and president
of Article three Project. We'll talk about Comy Brennan and Clapper.
(14:40):
Welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show on Greg Jarrett
filling in for Sean Hannity on Fox News Legal Analyst,
And shortly I'll be talking to Mike Davis, founder and
president of Article three Project. We're gonna be talking about
this new DOJFBI criminal investigation into John Brennan and jam James.
Coming John Brennan claimed that he never saw the Steel
(15:05):
dossier until December of twenty and sixteen. Really read page
sixty nine of my book, witch Hunt, Chapter two, you'll
find that Brennan actually got his hands on it as
late as August of twenty and sixteen and concocted a
(15:27):
plan with Harry Reid, the leader of the Senate, to
send a letter to COMI accusing Trump of being a
Russian agent and citing the dossier. And the plan was,
if you send that letter, we'll leak the letter to
the media and the media will go wild. What happened.
That's exactly what happened. We'll be right back. Hello everybody,
(15:50):
I'm Greg Jared, filling in for Sean Hannity on the
Sean Hannity Show. Happy you're with us. We have a
terrific guest coming up now. Founder and press of Article
three project, Mike Davis, and we do want to talk
about the breaking news that occurred yesterday late in the
day that the Department of Justice and the FBI have
(16:12):
opened a criminal investigation into John Brennan and James Clapper.
The sources say that the referral they received from the
CIA director John Rack James, come excuse me that the
referral was received and it has to do with Brennan
(16:36):
purportedly line in his testimony before Congress. So joining us
now is Mike Davis, and Mike, thanks for being with us.
Let's focus a little bit on John Brennan. What are
your thoughts about potential criminal charges against him?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You and I brag have been talking about this for years.
As the Justice Department, it seems, according to the Fox
News reporting, is opening up a criminal probe on this.
What happens was that in twenty sixteen, Hillary campaign and
Hillary worked with the Obama White House, including President Obama himself,
(17:16):
Vice President Biden, the CIA director, the FBI director called
me Clapper, the attorney general. They made up the Crossfire
Hurricane investigation to go after President Trump. They lied to
the phiz at court. They used the Steele dossier with
evidence they knew was false. They got spy warrants on
(17:38):
the presidential candidate Donald Trump. They continued to spy on
the presidents when he won office. When he was in
the White House, they hobbled his presidency because they alleged
that President Trump was a Russian agent, right, which is
just insane. And they did this, in my view, because
Hillary had for Eagle home server as Secretary of State
(18:02):
with our nation's most classified secrets. But more problematically for Hillary,
she had the Clinton Foundation pay for play foreign bribery scheme. Evidence, well,
the Clinton Foundation is taking millions of dollars to underwrite
the Clinton's lavish lifestyle and maybe, just maybe Clinton's doing
official acts in exchange. She bleached it in her server.
(18:22):
She destroyed the phones with a hammer. But what she
didn't expect was that foreign governments, adversarial governments like Russia
and China and others probably act for server and had
a copy of that, and they were afraid that server
was going to come out before the twenty sixteen election
and destroy her campaign. And so what did they do.
(18:44):
They made up the Russian collusion hook. So if that
server information did come out, they can blame President Trump
at his campaign and say it was a campaign dirty trick.
And you say, oh, that's crazy. How could you possibly
think that? They did the same thing in twenty twenty
with Hunter Biden's laptop. They had fifty one former Intel
officials worked with the CIA saying that this had all
(19:06):
the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. So they were
able to ignore the Biden family bribery tens of millions
of dollars and say it was a campaign thirty trick.
That's exactly what they did in twenty sixteen with Hillary's
home server. They obstructed justice by doing this. This is
the biggest scandal in American history. You had President Obama,
(19:32):
Vice President Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidates,
the head of the CIA, the head of the FBI,
the Attorney general, all conspiring to light to the Fizer
Court to make up the Russian collusion hopes to help
their candidate, Hillary Clinton and try to take out President Trump.
And this is ongoing, the lawfare against President Trump. The
(19:52):
mar laguer rate was to go get back the declassified
Crossfire Hurricane records that President Trump declassify it took his
personal copy before he left office. Yeah, that's what this
is all about.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Not only did John Brennan state publicly that he never
put eyes on Steele's dossier until December of twenty sixteen,
which is simply untrue, and he also said I never
shared it or briefed it. He did. He briefed the
Gang of Eight on Capitol Hill in the summer of
twenty and sixteen, and then in August August twenty fifth,
(20:30):
he went to Harry Reid and briefed him and read
it was a setup. Reid sends a letter to COMI
accusing Trump of being a Russian agent, and they leaked
that letter to the media, and you know, the New
York Times and the Washington Post are off and running.
Here is let me play a quick SoundBite of John
Brennan talking about the Steele dossier.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Here it is, do you know if the Bureau ever
relied on the Steele dossiers as part of any court filings, applications,
but pleadings.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I have no awareness.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Did the CI rely on it? No?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Because we didn't. It wasn't part of the corpus of
intelligence information that we had. It was not in any
way used as a basis for the intelli's Community assessment
that was done. It was It was not we.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now know, Mike, that's completely untrue. It was in the ICA,
the Intelligence Community Assessment. How do I know that? Because
I saw it, and so I mean, I think that's
one of the many deceptions that the lawyers of the
Department of Justice are looking at, don't you think, Mike, Yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Would have to be what the Justice Department is looking at.
That would be a key product hit to open this investigation.
Is that surgery. And I also want to remind people
even though this crossfire hurricane, criminal conspiracy or alleged criminal
conspiracy started back in twenty sixteen, you sail, that was
you know, over eight years ago. That's beyond the five
(22:15):
year statutes of limitation. Remember, with conspiracy, the statue limitation
does not end until the last overt act of the
criminal conspiracy. So this is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. This
is an ongoing cover up and the people involved with
this alleged conspiracy have not disavowed the conspiracy. So the
(22:38):
Justice Department absolutely and pursued charges for conspiracy. There's not
a statue limitation issue.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
No, there isn't. And also because if there's a fraudulent
concealment of the incriminating evidence, that tolls or suspends the
statute limitations. And beyond that, the most recent testimony by
Brennan was in twenty and twenty three, just two years ago,
(23:06):
and there's a five year statue of limitations that standard
on false statements as well as perjury. So if he
was lined two years ago, I mean there's no limitations problem.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Is there? Not at all? And again, stepping back, let's
not lose the force through the trees here. This is
the biggest scandal in American history. You have a Waite
force working with a presidential candidate to politicize and weaponize
law enforcement and intel agencies to go after the other
(23:40):
presidential candidate to make sure that he doesn't win the election.
And unfortunately for President Obama and Vice President Biden and
the Attorney General and Combing and Clapper and Brennan and
the rest of these guys allegedly involved with this criminal conspiracy.
They messed and President Trump got into office and he
(24:00):
declassified those Crossfire hurricane records. And they missed again when
they tried to bankrupt him for non fraud, throw him
in prison for life, four times for nonprimes, throw them
off the ballots. And even when Trump's opponents defunded his
Secret Service, underfunded his Secret Service protection and President Biden
(24:22):
said to put a bullseye on Trump's head after Biden
said he was the greatest threat to American democracy and
existential threat. So they missed. They missed every time they've
and now they're going to They are going to face
accountability from the Justice Department, as they should.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Ellie Van John Brennan at one point in time claimed
that Trump had committed treason my virtue of being a
secret Russian agent. And then when the Mueller report came
out that day, he was asked on television his reaction
to it, and he said, gee, I guess I bad
(25:01):
information and I thought there was more there than there
really was. This was the CIA director, right, he's at
the top spook. He's supposed to know more intel than anybody.
And yet he said, oh, gee, I guess I got
bad information. I mean, that's pretty absurd. I want to
(25:23):
turn to James Comy because here's the thing about Komy.
He always hated Trump. I'm not quite sure why. I mean,
I know that, you know, he hated Trump's policies. He
hated Trump personally. He thought he was uncouth, thought he
was rough. He didn't like the whole Mega movement. But
(25:43):
here is Comy being interviewed about his negative opinion of
Donald Trump from the start, which is why I think
that really motivated Comy to launch crossfire Hurricane. Here it is,
take a listen to this.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
It seems to me that in your dealings with Donald
Trump from the very get go, from your first meeting
with him before the inauguration in January of twenty seventeen,
you very far from bringing a blank slate to your
view of him to your meetings with him. You were
deeply suspicious and skeptical of Trump from the start, and
(26:18):
that comes out clearly in your recollections in your memoir.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Sure, that's because I'm a human being. That's not a
political judgment. I evaluate people who work for me, I
evaluate people I work for with respect.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
It becomes political if you're from the very get go
likening the way in which Trump deals with you and
with situations likens him to a mafia don, a mafia boss.
I mean, that's not just personal. That becomes political. I
don't see it as political. I didn't think think the
director of the FBI concluding that Donald Trump, from your
earliest meetings is in essence the political equivalent of a
(26:54):
mafia boss.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Sure, none in the sense that he's robbing bags, but
in the leadership culture he creates. That's what struck me.
But that's not a political judgment. That's a judgment based
on reason and logic and experience.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Some of what you write, and I'm guessing it's based
on contemporaneous notes, it is actually just downright personal. Some
of the asides about his look, his hair, the size
of his hands, which you were making observations like this
in the very earliest meetings with him, suggest you had
an animus towards him.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I reject that. If you read my book, you'll see
I'm actually trying to be an author and as an investigator.
I have a pretty good eye for detail. So I
described my high school boss I describe other bosses. I
describe people I worked with in great detail. And so yes,
I noticed Donald Trump's hair color, how he dressed, how
he sad, how he spoke. That's not a political judgment,
(27:44):
that's an observation.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
But it smacks of a negative opinion that you brought
to the table.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I had a negative opinion of him that was fact based.
I had serious concerns about his ability to respect the
obligation to tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It wasn't fact based at all. We found that out
if you read the Mueller report. It was all made
up by Comy and Hillary and Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS,
Perkins Cooey, the law firm that you know was funneling
the money to steal you know, and Comy never talks
about how he fired Steele for line another deception to
(28:25):
the pis accord. But that was an interview by a
very good host on BBC and Mike Davis. You know,
it speaks volumes about James Commy. He comes across as
a total weasel, doesn't he.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, and remember this, Remember it was James Comey who
was in the January fourth, twenty seventeen Oval Office meeting
with Obama, Biden, Susan Rice Balliates the Attorney General, and
they talked about making up the Logan Acts. Biden Rember
raised the Logan Actor. This was in Peter Strock's notes
(29:03):
from that meeting, and Biden used the Logan actor. They've
never they had never prosecuted under the Logan actor, and
they used the Logan Act as a bogus pretext to
go after General Flynn and to go after Trump as
part of this Russian collusion huk. So, this idea that
called me was just a boy scout who had an
(29:24):
open mind before President Trump went into office is nonsense.
They sent call Me into the Trump White House in
the early days to try to set up a perjury
trap on Russian, this Russian collusion hux It's this is
again the biggest cad in American history. There is clear
evidence that the prior regime and their intel agencies and
(29:49):
law enforcement tried to take out a presidential candidate and
then tried to take out the sitting president of the
United States, and then tried to take him out again
after he left office. When I when they were when
they figured out he was running a.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought up the Logan Act, which
doesn't allow private citizens to interfere in American foreign policy.
But it is common, as I wrote ad nauseum, not
just in my two books, but in columns for Fox
News and my own website, that incoming administrations always talk
(30:25):
to foreign leaders before the new president takes office. There's
there's no Logan Act violation. So you know, call me
and the others just made that up as a pretext
to go after Flynn, to go after Trump, I mean,
one of the many phony pretexts that they invented to
(30:49):
go after Donald Trump. And it should be so blatantly
obvious to just about anyone. Mike, hang on for a
couple of minutes, if you will. We're gonna squeeze in
a quick commercial break. Come back a couple more questions
for you. I'm Greg Jared. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
We'll be right back.
Hello everybody. I'm Greg Jarrett. Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
I'll be filling in over the next couple of days
while Sean is off. I'm a Fox News legal analyst
at attorney by trade, a defense attorney. Before we do anything, though,
I do want to offer our sincere thoughts and prayers
(00:23):
the families of the people in Texas who have lost
their loved ones. We know at least one hundred and
nineteen people are dead in the flooding there. One hundred
and seventy others are still missing. So again, our prayers
to the people of Texas. Well, let's move along to
(00:44):
our main subject today and you'll find it actually on
my website at Thegreg Jared dot Com. A new CIA
report finally reveals the secret plot to take down President Trump.
And in fact, late yesterday we found out Fox News
(01:06):
exclusively that the Department of Justice and the FBI are
now investigating criminally the former CIA director John Brennan and
the former FBI director James Comy. And this is long overdue.
It took only nine years when you think about it,
(01:31):
But in my opinion, the crooked duo of James Commy
and John Brennan are finally blatedly maybe going to be
held to account. They could and should, in my opinion,
be indicted and prosecuted for their diabolical scheme to frame
Donald Trump in the infamous Russia hoax. Brennan and Comy
(01:56):
were instrumental in perpetrating the dirty trick in American political history,
and their goal was to drive Trump from office, not
because he did anything wrong, not because he was a

They despise the person. So what did they do. They

But Kony conceal those inconvenient facts and exploited the document

who in the end, two years later found no Trump

first book, the Russia Hoax. Comey was aided and embedded
by others in the intel community, Brennan and James Clapper,
(04:17):
the Director of National Intelligence. All of them plotted to
smear Trump and to ruin him politically. Now is that
criminal fraud on the government? Sure looks like it to me.
Is it a conspiracy to deprive Trump of his rights
under color of law? Which is a federal crime?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
As a lawyer, I'd say so. Last week, the current
CIA director John Ratcliffe declassified and released an internal agency
review of what those guys did. I'm tempted to call
it stunning, but it's really not, because there's almost nothing
(05:02):
in that new CIA report that wasn't already in my
book called witch Hunt, that came out in twenty nineteen,
six years ago. Citing previously hidden records, this CIA review
concluded that Brennan in particular, pushed for the phony dossier
(05:23):
to be included in an important document known as the
Intelligence Community Assessment, otherwise known as the ICA. They did
it to propel this false narrative against Trump. Senior CIA
experts on Russia objected strenuously. What did Brennan do? He
(05:46):
sidelined them, He silenced them. The CIA Deputy director was
so outraged he warned Brennan in writing, you can't do this.
If you include the dossier in any capacity, you will
jeopardize quote, the credibility of the entire intelligence assessment. Brennan
(06:10):
didn't care. He directed exactly how the Intel assessment would
be written. He even hand picked the analysts who compiled
the bogus information, and to stifled dissent which was growing,
thirteen other key INTEL agencies were deliberately excluded. To put
(06:33):
it bluntly, Donald Trump was set up. According to the
New CIA Review, Comy and Clapper were all in on
Brennan's scheme. In an interview with The New York Post
last week, Radcliffe said, and I'm quoting here, this was Obama, Comy, Clapper,
and Brennan deciding we're going to screw Trump. All of
(06:57):
them knew the dossier was junk, which motivated them to
prop it up as reliable. How did they do that?
They put it in the ICA, and then they leaked
it and propagated it as mutual corroboration. It was a
clever ruse An illusion. They went out there and they
(07:18):
said to the media, the dossier has to be true
because it's in the intelligence assessment. In my book, witch Hunt,
I exposed what John Brennan did, how he insisted that
the dossier be included in the classified intel report. But
(07:40):
then he appeared before Congress and under oath said that
the dossier was quote not in any way used as
the basis for the Intelligence community assessment, and James Clapper's
testimony the DNI nearly identical. Let me quote from chapter
two of my book. Brennan and Clapper were spinning a deception.
(08:05):
A prominent colleague contradicted them and produced documents as proof
that they were not telling the truth. In a classified
letter to Congress, NSA director Michael Rogers disclosed that the
uncorroborated document the dossier, did factor into the ICA report,
(08:26):
having been caught in a falsehood. Clapper then repudiated his
earlier statement. Brennan continued to deny it all. End of
quote chapter two. Neither Brennan nor Clapper was ever prosecuted
for perjury, and neither was James Comy, who knew the
(08:48):
dossier was pure fiction, but he used it to sign
three separate warrant applications to spy on Trump associate Carter Page.
Receiving the FISA court, he told the court that the
dossier was credible. He told the court and the judges
(09:09):
that Christopher Steele was reliable. He didn't tell him he'd
fired Steele for line. He didn't tell him that he
knew that dossier was junk. What did the judges do?
They believed Comie, and they issued the warrants to spy,
(09:29):
which gave the FBI a back door to spy on
the entire Trump campaign. None of that seemed to bother
news organizations, MSNBC promptly hired Brennan. Clapper went to work
for CNN, and I described in my book what they
(09:51):
did from their new media purchases. Purchase here's a quote.
The two super spooks an all out attack on Trump,
exploiting their new television platforms to advance the toxic fiction
that the president was a secret Russian asset who colluded
(10:11):
with Putin in the bowels of the Kremlin. It didn't
matter to CNN that a House Intelligence Committee report determined
it was Clapper who had leaked news of the phony
dossier to the network before Trump had ever taken office.
So did he give it to He gave it to
(10:33):
Jake Tapper, Jake the fake Tapper, CNN's lead anchor. So
when you think about it, the collusion narrative itself was
a conspiracy. The collaborators like Comyan, Clapper, and Brennan, they
knew it was all alive. They manipulated the dossier and
(10:56):
the intelligence community assessment to pedal their fairy tale with
Hillary and her confederates. They engineered the Russia hoax. Any
crimes committed here, that's the question. Now that the DOJ
and the FBI have a criminal investigation of Coming and Brennan.
(11:18):
What potential charges might they be looking at? Well, the
first comes to mind is perjury and making false statements.
Another one is conspiracy against rights under color of law.
It's eighteen Usc. Two one two. What does it mean.
It means when two or more people plot to violate
(11:41):
somebody's constitutional or federal rights. Here, Donald Trump, while acting
under the authority of law, you're committing a crime. Fabricating
evidence to support a criminal case would absolutely qualify as
(12:02):
deprivation of rights. Also, election interference, depriving somebody of their
right to vote or the right to hold federal office.
So I think that's something that the Department of Justice
will be looking at. Now, what about the statute of limitations.
I've heard several people say, you can't bring any criminal charges.
(12:24):
Statute limitations is run. So the statute of limitations on conspiracy,
on perjury, on false statements is five years. On government fraud,
the statute of limitations is seven years. But wait a minute.
The statute of limitations is told, which is a legal term.
(12:48):
What does it mean? It means suspended If the incriminating
evidence is concealed fraudulently, the statute then begins to run
or commits the very moment all of that hidden evidence
is discovered. So if the newly constituted CIA under Radcliffe
(13:10):
and other agencies like the FBI under Cash Betel have
found recently incriminating evidence that Brennan and Comy or others
lied or committed fraud or deprived constitutional rights, any charges
are not barred by the statutal limitations. So we're going
(13:35):
to have to see where this goes. I am going
to be talking very shortly with Mike Davis, who was
the founder and president of Article three project. We're going
to be talking about James Comy and John Brennan and
James Clapper and Peter Struck and Lisa Page and the
whole gang that, in my judgment at least should have
(13:56):
had criminal charges brought against them long ago. I'm Greg
Jarrett filling in for Sean Hannity on the Sean Hannity Show.
You can follow me on x at Greg Jarrett, go
to my website Dgreg Jarrett dot com, and a bit
later on we'll be taking your telephone calls. All you
have to do is call us at eight hundred nine
(14:18):
four one seven three two six or call us at
eight hundred nine four to one. Sean love to hear
your questions or comments, so give us a call. But
coming up very shortly Mike Davis, the founder and president
of Article three Project. We'll talk about Comy Brennan and Clapper.
(14:40):
Welcome back to the Sean Hennity Show on Greg Jarrett
filling in for Sean Hannity on Fox News Legal Analyst,
And shortly I'll be talking to Mike Davis, founder and
president of Article three Project. We're gonna be talking about
this new DOJFBI criminal investigation into John Brennan and jam James.
Coming John Brennan claimed that he never saw the Steel
(15:05):
dossier until December of twenty and sixteen. Really read page
sixty nine of my book, witch Hunt, Chapter two, you'll
find that Brennan actually got his hands on it as
late as August of twenty and sixteen and concocted a
(15:27):
plan with Harry Reid, the leader of the Senate, to
send a letter to COMI accusing Trump of being a
Russian agent and citing the dossier. And the plan was,
if you send that letter, we'll leak the letter to
the media and the media will go wild. What happened.
That's exactly what happened. We'll be right back. Hello everybody,
(15:50):
I'm Greg Jared, filling in for Sean Hannity on the
Sean Hannity Show. Happy you're with us. We have a
terrific guest coming up now. Founder and press of Article
three project, Mike Davis, and we do want to talk
about the breaking news that occurred yesterday late in the
day that the Department of Justice and the FBI have
(16:12):
opened a criminal investigation into John Brennan and James Clapper.
The sources say that the referral they received from the
CIA director John Rack James, come excuse me that the
referral was received and it has to do with Brennan
(16:36):
purportedly line in his testimony before Congress. So joining us
now is Mike Davis, and Mike, thanks for being with us.
Let's focus a little bit on John Brennan. What are
your thoughts about potential criminal charges against him?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You and I brag have been talking about this for years.
As the Justice Department, it seems, according to the Fox
News reporting, is opening up a criminal probe on this.
What happens was that in twenty sixteen, Hillary campaign and
Hillary worked with the Obama White House, including President Obama himself,
(17:16):
Vice President Biden, the CIA director, the FBI director called
me Clapper, the attorney general. They made up the Crossfire
Hurricane investigation to go after President Trump. They lied to
the phiz at court. They used the Steele dossier with
evidence they knew was false. They got spy warrants on
(17:38):
the presidential candidate Donald Trump. They continued to spy on
the presidents when he won office. When he was in
the White House, they hobbled his presidency because they alleged
that President Trump was a Russian agent, right, which is
just insane. And they did this, in my view, because
Hillary had for Eagle home server as Secretary of State
(18:02):
with our nation's most classified secrets. But more problematically for Hillary,
she had the Clinton Foundation pay for play foreign bribery scheme. Evidence, well,
the Clinton Foundation is taking millions of dollars to underwrite
the Clinton's lavish lifestyle and maybe, just maybe Clinton's doing
official acts in exchange. She bleached it in her server.
(18:22):
She destroyed the phones with a hammer. But what she
didn't expect was that foreign governments, adversarial governments like Russia
and China and others probably act for server and had
a copy of that, and they were afraid that server
was going to come out before the twenty sixteen election
and destroy her campaign. And so what did they do.
(18:44):
They made up the Russian collusion hook. So if that
server information did come out, they can blame President Trump
at his campaign and say it was a campaign dirty trick.
And you say, oh, that's crazy. How could you possibly
think that? They did the same thing in twenty twenty
with Hunter Biden's laptop. They had fifty one former Intel
officials worked with the CIA saying that this had all
(19:06):
the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. So they were
able to ignore the Biden family bribery tens of millions
of dollars and say it was a campaign thirty trick.
That's exactly what they did in twenty sixteen with Hillary's
home server. They obstructed justice by doing this. This is
the biggest scandal in American history. You had President Obama,
(19:32):
Vice President Biden, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the presidential candidates,
the head of the CIA, the head of the FBI,
the Attorney general, all conspiring to light to the Fizer
Court to make up the Russian collusion hopes to help
their candidate, Hillary Clinton and try to take out President Trump.
And this is ongoing, the lawfare against President Trump. The
(19:52):
mar laguer rate was to go get back the declassified
Crossfire Hurricane records that President Trump declassify it took his
personal copy before he left office. Yeah, that's what this
is all about.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Not only did John Brennan state publicly that he never
put eyes on Steele's dossier until December of twenty sixteen,
which is simply untrue, and he also said I never
shared it or briefed it. He did. He briefed the
Gang of Eight on Capitol Hill in the summer of
twenty and sixteen, and then in August August twenty fifth,
(20:30):
he went to Harry Reid and briefed him and read
it was a setup. Reid sends a letter to COMI
accusing Trump of being a Russian agent, and they leaked
that letter to the media, and you know, the New
York Times and the Washington Post are off and running.
Here is let me play a quick SoundBite of John
Brennan talking about the Steele dossier.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Here it is, do you know if the Bureau ever
relied on the Steele dossiers as part of any court filings, applications,
but pleadings.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I have no awareness.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Did the CI rely on it? No?
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Because we didn't. It wasn't part of the corpus of
intelligence information that we had. It was not in any
way used as a basis for the intelli's Community assessment
that was done. It was It was not we.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Now know, Mike, that's completely untrue. It was in the ICA,
the Intelligence Community Assessment. How do I know that? Because
I saw it, and so I mean, I think that's
one of the many deceptions that the lawyers of the
Department of Justice are looking at, don't you think, Mike, Yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Would have to be what the Justice Department is looking at.
That would be a key product hit to open this investigation.
Is that surgery. And I also want to remind people
even though this crossfire hurricane, criminal conspiracy or alleged criminal
conspiracy started back in twenty sixteen, you sail, that was
you know, over eight years ago. That's beyond the five
(22:15):
year statutes of limitation. Remember, with conspiracy, the statue limitation
does not end until the last overt act of the
criminal conspiracy. So this is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. This
is an ongoing cover up and the people involved with
this alleged conspiracy have not disavowed the conspiracy. So the
(22:38):
Justice Department absolutely and pursued charges for conspiracy. There's not
a statue limitation issue.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
No, there isn't. And also because if there's a fraudulent
concealment of the incriminating evidence, that tolls or suspends the
statute limitations. And beyond that, the most recent testimony by
Brennan was in twenty and twenty three, just two years ago,
(23:06):
and there's a five year statue of limitations that standard
on false statements as well as perjury. So if he
was lined two years ago, I mean there's no limitations problem.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Is there? Not at all? And again, stepping back, let's
not lose the force through the trees here. This is
the biggest scandal in American history. You have a Waite
force working with a presidential candidate to politicize and weaponize
law enforcement and intel agencies to go after the other
(23:40):
presidential candidate to make sure that he doesn't win the election.
And unfortunately for President Obama and Vice President Biden and
the Attorney General and Combing and Clapper and Brennan and
the rest of these guys allegedly involved with this criminal conspiracy.
They messed and President Trump got into office and he
(24:00):
declassified those Crossfire hurricane records. And they missed again when
they tried to bankrupt him for non fraud, throw him
in prison for life, four times for nonprimes, throw them
off the ballots. And even when Trump's opponents defunded his
Secret Service, underfunded his Secret Service protection and President Biden
(24:22):
said to put a bullseye on Trump's head after Biden
said he was the greatest threat to American democracy and
existential threat. So they missed. They missed every time they've
and now they're going to They are going to face
accountability from the Justice Department, as they should.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Ellie Van John Brennan at one point in time claimed
that Trump had committed treason my virtue of being a
secret Russian agent. And then when the Mueller report came
out that day, he was asked on television his reaction
to it, and he said, gee, I guess I bad
(25:01):
information and I thought there was more there than there
really was. This was the CIA director, right, he's at
the top spook. He's supposed to know more intel than anybody.
And yet he said, oh, gee, I guess I got
bad information. I mean, that's pretty absurd. I want to
(25:23):
turn to James Comy because here's the thing about Komy.
He always hated Trump. I'm not quite sure why. I mean,
I know that, you know, he hated Trump's policies. He
hated Trump personally. He thought he was uncouth, thought he
was rough. He didn't like the whole Mega movement. But
(25:43):
here is Comy being interviewed about his negative opinion of
Donald Trump from the start, which is why I think
that really motivated Comy to launch crossfire Hurricane. Here it is,
take a listen to this.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
It seems to me that in your dealings with Donald
Trump from the very get go, from your first meeting
with him before the inauguration in January of twenty seventeen,
you very far from bringing a blank slate to your
view of him to your meetings with him. You were
deeply suspicious and skeptical of Trump from the start, and
(26:18):
that comes out clearly in your recollections in your memoir.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Sure, that's because I'm a human being. That's not a
political judgment. I evaluate people who work for me, I
evaluate people I work for with respect.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
It becomes political if you're from the very get go
likening the way in which Trump deals with you and
with situations likens him to a mafia don, a mafia boss.
I mean, that's not just personal. That becomes political. I
don't see it as political. I didn't think think the
director of the FBI concluding that Donald Trump, from your
earliest meetings is in essence the political equivalent of a
(26:54):
mafia boss.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Sure, none in the sense that he's robbing bags, but
in the leadership culture he creates. That's what struck me.
But that's not a political judgment. That's a judgment based
on reason and logic and experience.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Some of what you write, and I'm guessing it's based
on contemporaneous notes, it is actually just downright personal. Some
of the asides about his look, his hair, the size
of his hands, which you were making observations like this
in the very earliest meetings with him, suggest you had
an animus towards him.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
I reject that. If you read my book, you'll see
I'm actually trying to be an author and as an investigator.
I have a pretty good eye for detail. So I
described my high school boss I describe other bosses. I
describe people I worked with in great detail. And so yes,
I noticed Donald Trump's hair color, how he dressed, how
he sad, how he spoke. That's not a political judgment,
(27:44):
that's an observation.
Speaker 5 (27:46):
But it smacks of a negative opinion that you brought
to the table.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I had a negative opinion of him that was fact based.
I had serious concerns about his ability to respect the
obligation to tell the truth.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It wasn't fact based at all. We found that out
if you read the Mueller report. It was all made
up by Comy and Hillary and Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS,
Perkins Cooey, the law firm that you know was funneling
the money to steal you know, and Comy never talks
about how he fired Steele for line another deception to
(28:25):
the pis accord. But that was an interview by a
very good host on BBC and Mike Davis. You know,
it speaks volumes about James Commy. He comes across as
a total weasel, doesn't he.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, and remember this, Remember it was James Comey who
was in the January fourth, twenty seventeen Oval Office meeting
with Obama, Biden, Susan Rice Balliates the Attorney General, and
they talked about making up the Logan Acts. Biden Rember
raised the Logan Actor. This was in Peter Strock's notes
(29:03):
from that meeting, and Biden used the Logan actor. They've
never they had never prosecuted under the Logan actor, and
they used the Logan Act as a bogus pretext to
go after General Flynn and to go after Trump as
part of this Russian collusion huk. So, this idea that
called me was just a boy scout who had an
(29:24):
open mind before President Trump went into office is nonsense.
They sent call Me into the Trump White House in
the early days to try to set up a perjury
trap on Russian, this Russian collusion hux It's this is
again the biggest cad in American history. There is clear
evidence that the prior regime and their intel agencies and
(29:49):
law enforcement tried to take out a presidential candidate and
then tried to take out the sitting president of the
United States, and then tried to take him out again
after he left office. When I when they were when
they figured out he was running a.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought up the Logan Act, which
doesn't allow private citizens to interfere in American foreign policy.
But it is common, as I wrote ad nauseum, not
just in my two books, but in columns for Fox
News and my own website, that incoming administrations always talk
(30:25):
to foreign leaders before the new president takes office. There's
there's no Logan Act violation. So you know, call me
and the others just made that up as a pretext
to go after Flynn, to go after Trump, I mean,
one of the many phony pretexts that they invented to
(30:49):
go after Donald Trump. And it should be so blatantly
obvious to just about anyone. Mike, hang on for a
couple of minutes, if you will. We're gonna squeeze in
a quick commercial break. Come back a couple more questions
for you. I'm Greg Jared. This is the Sean Hannity Show.
We'll be right back.
