  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the White House Government Transparency task Force releasing
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: new documents into the origins of the Russia collusion scandal.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: This week, the declassified records showing the FBI opened an
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: investigation into then Attorney General Jeff's Sessions one day after
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: President Trump fired FBI Director James Comy overclaims Sessions made
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: false statements to Congress about communications with Russian officials. Then
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Democratic Senators Patrick Leahy and al Franken sent a letter
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to Komy demanding the bureau investigate Sessions for lying to Congress.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: At the time the probe was opened, Sessions already had
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: recused himself from the Russia investigation, leading Deputy Attorney General
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein to appoint Robert Mueller as a special counsel
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: into Russia collusion. Meanwhile, the Task Force releasing documents on
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: another covert operation the FBI ran code named Round River.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It was set up to discredit corruption allegany against the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Biden family as Russian disinformation. The secret venture began around
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: December of twenty nineteen, during President Trump's first impeachment on
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: charges of an inappropriate phone call, with Ukrainian President Volodimir
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Zelinski joining me now is the chairman of the House
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jim Jordan. Thank you so much, Congressman
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: for being here. And I want to talk about this
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: FBI investigation March toll because the timing is not coincidential,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and we're just learning about some of these details. So
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: President Trump is trying to fix things within the FBI
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: because they're going after him on unsubstantiated reports, and so
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: he fires James Comy. Then the next day they go
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: after Jeff Sessions. Because the Democrats couldn't leave the breakdown
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of the institution right where it was, they had to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: try to further it even more.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and remember even before that, when this all got started,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: was the Clinton campaign hiring the law firm Perkins Kuey,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: who hired the public relate sperm Fusion GPS, who hired
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the foreigner Christopher Steele, who wrote the bogus document.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Called the dossier that Komy takes.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: He knows it's bogus, he takes it to the secret Court,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: defies the court to get a warrant to go spy
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: on President Trump's campaign. That happened, and then when people
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: start digging into that and figuring something out, then it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: onto this next thing. He fires Comy and they go
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: after Jeff Sessions. And then, as you point out, they
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: launched this operation a few years later when weirstor when
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the number of us are starting to dig into Joe
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Biden all the crazy things that went on there with
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Ukraine and Bereisman and his son Hunter Biden, and they
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: run an operation against members of Congress and other people
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: affiliated with the are associated with the Trump campaign and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration. Right, that's how ridiculous it was running
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: ops against the government. The FBI was doing this.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and on the Biden side, of course, it was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: rush into this information. Nobody wanted to pursue that narrative
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: or look into any of the details. But when it
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: came to President Trump, you needed a special counsel investigation
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: where we did get more detail, which was helpful. But
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: when you learn little pieces of the timeline like this,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: you see just how bad it was.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Remember, so the Clinton campaign does that Comy uses that
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: ridiculous document to go spy on President Trump's campaign. Four
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: years later, they run an operation against members of Congress
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and members of President Trump's administration.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: To try to help Biden win.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: So it was always designed to hurt President Trump and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: help his opponent win.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: It was designed to help.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Clinton win in sixteen, Biden went in twenty four, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: then frankly, you could say in twenty and then in
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: twenty four you could say, well, Jack Smith was designed
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to help Biden or Kamala Harris win and President Trump
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: lose in twenty four. So they ran operations each and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: every time President Trump was running for office.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Even as you uncover all of this detail, there are
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: some advisors, like White House advisor Peter Navarro, who says,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you haven't done enough to investigate some of this weaponization.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: What is your rebuttal to that? Done everything we can.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: We've referred people prosecution. We referred John Brinnan because we
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: know he lied to us. We referred him eight months
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: ago to the Justice Department. We just recently referred Jack
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Smith because he lied to us. He said he only
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: got the records, the phone records of members of Congress.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: He said he did not get contents of members communications.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: And then we find out, oh, he went to the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: National Archives and got text messages between members of Trump,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: President Trump's administration and members of Congress. And he had
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: that information and didn't tell us that when we deposed him,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: so he lied to us. We referred him, and we've
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: also referred Thomas Wyndham, one of his deputies, for prosecution
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: as well, because he tried to obstruct our investigation into
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: this whole operation that they're run against President Trump as
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the special counsel.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: And we're heading into the midterms, very crucial for the party.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Americans are looking at gas prices over four dollars a gallon.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The President is still deciding how he's going to handle
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that are on war and where it goes from here.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The DSA is hanging on to this idea of ford
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: ability to keep driving at home. They're winning some of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: their races. Some people say, we actually shouldn't be wasting
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: time looking into what happens in the past, but we
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: should be focused on moving forward. Others say you need
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to do a little bit of both to balance everything
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: out because the past is important for the future. But
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on where the Republicans stand for the midterms,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: on the messaging around affordability and trying to win some
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of the key races.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I always say, we make this job way too complicated.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It's pretty basic. What'd you tell the voters you were
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: going to do when you ran for the office. If
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you win, go do what you said. I think we've
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: done that. We said we would secure the border with
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the help of President Trump, and of course is great work.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: We've done that. We said we would cut taxes. We
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: did that.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: The economy is moving in a pretty good direction.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: But I understand there are cost out there that are
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: tough on middle class and working class families.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: We're working on that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But I do think that when you step back and
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: look at the midterms, the real takeaway I think is
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: going to be all the crazy positions the left, which
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: now controls their party, all the crazy positions they're taking.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's crazy to defund the police. It's crazy
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to say you want to abolish ice. It's crazy to
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: say men should compete against women in sports. It's crazy
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: to shut down the government twice and won Congress is
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: what the Democrats did. It's crazy to have this sanctuary
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: jurisdiction policy where politicians tell local law enforcement not to
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: work with federal law enforcement when it comes to enforcing
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: federal law.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Dumbest thing I've ever heard.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: So all these crazy positions, Not to mention the DSA
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: candidates who said they don't like Thanksgiving, don't like football,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: and don't like fireworks for goodness sake. So I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: we need to show that contrast and remind voters we
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: are working on the affordability issue while we have done
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: what we said we would do when they elected us
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four, namely securing the border and making
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: sure their taxes are low.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the Democrat Party gave the reins away to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: some of these people who are just going to the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: far left, fringes and extreme. But then there are people
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: like AOC who have been smarter about it. Now she's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: laughing off woke one because she might want to run
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: for president. Realize is there's not a national platform for
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that for her.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's not a national platform for not liking Thanksgiving
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: and not liking football for goodnessake. Next they're going to
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: tell us they don't like apple pie and ice cream,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: which go together, and like football and Thanksgiving for you know.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, this is they can try to dismiss it,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: but the American people are sharp. The American people have
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: common sense, and I think they see common sense versus
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the crazy on the.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: On the Democrat left.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And I think they're going to vote for common sense
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: this November, and we will keep the majority and keep
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: moving in the right direction.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Congressman Jim Jordan, thank you so much for being here.
• 7:33
