so james comey, why a novel and why now? why now? first, because i was nudged over time by a former editor of a nonfiction work to try it and i resisted and resisted. but the farther i got from government service, the easier it became to think about crime and terrorism and espionage and so i decided to give it a shot and found it addictive. and harder than nonfiction. but a lot more fun. where did the storylines come from? my amazing spouse, my wife has great story vision and she throws stuff at the wall, as she says over coffee in the morning and she pitched this particular story and it sounded great to me. and then we fleshed it out and i set out to write it. so how much of this can we take? is based on your experience at the southern district and as fbi director? a lot is based on the southern district. it's not primarily based on fbi. my time at fbi, although it's informed by my knowledge of how the fbi works in investigation is, but it's mostly inspired by my time as a mob prosecutor in new york, but also brought to the current

but i fired comey.f i didn't fire comey, i don't think i would have been able to serve out my term, because that was of a plot. and, you know, these other guys that are running, they think, oh, well, you know, they're going to go nice and smooth. now, they'll create phony stories on them. these people are sick. guys like adam schiff, he's a sick person. they make things up, and then you have to spend time getting out of it. they do it now -- maria: he may become a senator. >> he may become, isn't that the crazy thing? maybe not. he's running against some people that are much better than him him. a sick person. he made up a thing on russia, russia, russia and ukraine, where he actually talked about my call with president zelenskyy, he didn't know we had the call tape thed. fori chew nay lit. -- fortunately. and he made up a speech in congress about what my call was where heavens actually reading the -- where he was actually reading the speech of what i said. and when i released it, i said, we had a tape

and comey led the group of thugs in there. they were doing a number. very dishonest. years and years of putting in people, democrats and rinos and other people, but putting them into office and we got rid of a lot of them but we are going to get rid of a lot more, a lot more. you have some bad people. >> sean: one more question. in the past, i think it's been a mistake. i am like you. i think we should have paper ballots, same-day voting. make election a national hol holiday. i have partisan observers in every precinct watching the voter i.d. and the counting. when the polls close, declare a winner, game over. that's not the system we have. with republicans have been reluctant and resistant towards early voting, mail-in voting. they have also been resistant towards legal ballot harvesting which democrats have mastered which is why they can hide in their basement and run hundreds of millions of dollars in ads and never answer a press? shake a hand or kiss a baby or do a town hall. do you encourage and embrace early voting, voti

the fbi politicized his weaponized began with jim comey. the i knew jim comey. i was a dea when he was the united states attorney. our buildings are right next to each other. we worked on cases together. jim comey is a -- smart guy. he lied when he said no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute. he lied with that unverified affidavit, david, that went to the fisa court judge so that they could violate the fourth amendment rights of carter page to spy on donald trump the way they do in third world countries. that would never, ever happen in administration where there were honest people. but i'm going to notch it up on the durham report came out two weeks ago, two and a half weeks ago. it was a it was like a thud. everybody's like, whatever. you know what we found out in the durham report. the russia collusion hoax, you know who created it, hillary i've never seen such evil woman in my life this woman made a decision to use campaign cash, funnel it through. a law firm hires someone, another country to create a whole dossier. that was a lie. get jim comey and all of

but i fired comey.y, i don't think i would have been able to serve out my term. >> carley: monica rule crowley served as assistant under secretary under president trump and joins us now. >> great to see you. >> ainsley: what do you think did he drain the swamp? >> one of president trump's enduring strengths and really one of his biggest bases for his appeal is that he wasn't out of washington. he wasn't part of the establishment. he wasn't part of the swamp. so in 2016 he ran on this premise that he was going to drain the swamp. but one of the big draw backs of not being part of the washington establishment is that he just didn't know. he didn't particularly know how the system worked or how to -- how many people he was going to have to appoint to key positions. so he was really reliant on others to make these recommendations and some of these people were not particularly as america first as he was. maybe outright even hostile to him and his agenda. >> brian: bill barr was key that that administration.

rnmentand in the case of comey d mccabe, they were audited by the irs. they were very invasive audits. in the case of -- he was subject to the criminal investigation that was done by john durham into how the fbi handled the russia investigation and general. now you cannot tie trump to forcing these investigations to creating them, but it sort of raises the question about if trump was saying it kelly was an acting, not years after kelly left, and what really happened here? >> interesting point to your story, and again, but hauling by saying that john kelly says he never followed through on these things. but he also says that donald trump did not want him to take notes in the meetings. i cannot even matching running a country through an oval office not taking notes on what the president united states wants to have done. why couldn't he take notes from he was having meetings with donald trump? what is that about? >> this is something that trump has said before. he said to his first white house counsel that he did not like lawyers, he likes lawyers he did no

but i fired comey.y, i don't think i would have been able to serve out my term. >> i don't know if you picked up on the last thing that donald trump there said. as dishonest as he can be, he can sometimes be quite candid, joe. he said at the very end of that clip there that had he not fired jim comey, he might not have been able to fill out the rest of his term. >> yeah. well, i mean, he still believes or we're about to find if he ever has to testify that he won the election. i mean we can't expect either honesty or astute political analysis from donald trump. i don't think he's capable of either. on draining the swamp, that's really a comical statement. he populated the swamp. he made the swamp bigger. he made washington an entire swamp. there's no doubt before he got there, there were a number of special interests. there always wasn't and probably never will be a level playing field. but there was a level of corruption in the trump administration that we haven't seen, oh, since probably almost 100 yea

i fired comey. i fired a lot of people. i fired comey very early. know, there was a question as to whether or not you could, but i fired comey. if i didn't fire comey, i don't think i would have been able to serve out my term because that was a plot. >> fascinating. and during an interview yesterday, florida governor and republican presidential candidate went on the attack again, this time for not fulfilling the promises he made before he entered the oval office. >> he promised to drain the swamp. it got worse. he did not drain the swamp. he was going to pay mexico to put up the border wall. he said he was going to eliminate the national debt. they added almost $8 trillion to the debt in four years. >> joining us now, national politics reporter for axios, sophia kai. good morning. i know you've been out there on the campaign trail, and it comes at a moment where the washington campaign is playing defense about not just their defense numbers but the amount of cash they have on hand. can you walk us through what this donor freak-out is this time becau

the former fbi director, james comey, and his deputy, andy mccabe, where the subject of highly unusual and invasive audits after they left government. after they have been pushed aside at the fbi. while there has never been any evidence to tie trump directly to that, this is yet another example of trump talking about trying to use law enforcement powers for his own needs. >> kind of weaponizing the iris. i'm curious though. two things, when was this testimony given by john kelly? was there any indication in this testimony, as you kind of connect the dots here in this reporting, mccabe and james comey and the extensive audit by the irs, that there was a possibility that the former president had launched lows? and, or, put pressure on the irs to put those investigations into place on those two individuals? >> we do not know of trump doing anything, in private, that led directly to into an investigation or an audit. we know that he talked openly, often, about how he wanted the justice department to prosecute his enemies. that was something he tweeted about and he talked about. he did not

he wanted to order at one point jeff sessions to investigate hillary and comey. he had to be stopped from doing that by his white house counsel at the time. it's a harder thing to uncover. you know, it's more difficult to penetrate, but i've always thought it was more significant because it was trying to use these sacred powers, the ability to investigate, prosecute against the enemies. >> i mean, i think there's a large body of evidence by the end that he used the pardon power to excuse his political allies, that he had the durham probe investigating the investigator, some of the same people he sought to investigate and punish with the irs and doj. it's just amazing that a full picture hasn't emerged yet. all right. no one's going anywhere today. when we come back, we are expecting an important filing today in the other investigation, the classified document investigation and case against the twice-impeached, twice-embedded ex-president. it involves when he and his codefendant will stand trial for the 38 criminal counts that have been filed against them. we're w

he worked with fbi director james comey is head of the public integrity section. with fbi general counsel wiseman who you are quite familiar with this head of the public integrity section for just telling a man who is independent from the department of justice? does telling a man who is independent from the democrat party? he was chosen on the recommendation of lisa monica of the deputy attorney general who had multiple positions, senior positions in the obama department of justice but also primarily under eric holder. her deputy marshal miller worked with submissive for years in the u.s. attorney's office in brooklyn and recommended smith as the story goes sue who in turn recommended smith to american garlands. out of all of the people he could've chosen in america they go to the hague to bring back smith. because he is a hitman. judge barrow was a judge who oversaw all of these motions that were filed by the trump lawyers and the government. she rolled one 100% against donald trump. one 100% for the government. she has since retired but the damage is done. she w

we do know what happened with james comey and his deputy mccabe were both audited. the odds of those two people being audited out of all the people audited by the irs is almost impossible. there was an investigation that was supposedly done by the inspector general for the irs presented to the house committee on the finances and tax and claimed they could not find any such evidence. the fact remains, unlike what we did in watergate where we put people into the grand jury and followed the trail from nixon to the irs and could show what happened, that wasn't done here. there was no department of justice investigation of donald trump on what was clearly criminal activity. the problem is donald trump committed so many crimes that the department of justice doesn't have the time and ability to go after every single one of these. certainly i think, if they dug into the comey and mccabe audits, they would find out this is what happened to larry o'brien 50 years ago. >> peter strak, miss page, james comey and mccabe, what they have in common -- strak and page were not audite

but when you think comey hadrm a term, he had many years left in that term. i said this bad news. >> i realized that very early, very early in the administration fired him and it was wild. that's when we found out wild. f the corruption. had i not fired comey,had ou wer you wouldn't know any of the things that you were talking. do you think they would have destroyed you? wellabout., they trying to takep out. >> yeah, they were trying to take me out. i mean, it was like a coup. it was like a coup had i not. you know, it's very interesting. some peoplit's intting.e that at that you know very well said when i did it. oh all, that was a mistake. that was a mistake you're going to cause now they say it wasthey the greatest instinctual move they've ever seen, because seery was a very bad guy.e gr and comey led that group of thugs in there and they were doing a number. they were very dishonest. it's years and years of puttinsg in people, democrats and rhinos and other people, but putting them into office and we got rid of a lot of them. >> but we're going to get rid

i fired comey and a lot of people. a lot of the people i had, i fired.d comey very early. >> he promised to drain the swamp. it got worse. he did not drain the swamp. he promised to have mexico build the border wall. he said he was going to eliminate the national debt. they added almost $8 trillion to the debt in four years. >> i mean, first of all, that's the first time i've ever heard, i think, donald trump admit he might have chosen not so well. having said that, given that so many trump supporters believe, truly believe and will tell you when you talk to him that he was the greatest president ever is that a line of attack that will work or desantis or anybody else that he didn't drain the swamp? >> not that much. but it is worth noting that everyone that donald trump fired, he hired, including comey. he doesn't have a very good record of being an executive. i thought the point desantis made was a good point of attack. when you can point to something specific and say that didn't happen, i believe that can get through, again, to people who are open to

jim comey, eric holder and loretta lynch drastically harmed the department of justice and fbi. and chris wray is spending years fixing that. of course there will always be disagreements between congress and the executive branch, and he has obligations to not give everything they want to give. but i will tell you something. when you saw today, i think was an animated and combative fbi director who is defending the men and women who work for him every day and do a great job and protect us from domestic terrorism, from international terrorism, and from those drug cartels and are helping state and local law enforcement every day with their things. i think chris wray has done a good job. and a lot of stuff you see is theater and people trying to raise money for campaigns. does not mean there are not problems at the fbi, there are, but i believe chris can get them fixed and fixed a lot of them already. >> sandra: you'll be on the debate stage in august, then? >> you bet. >> sandra: thanks for stopping here today. >> john: thanks for joining us. >> scary watching it happen, i didn't k

director of the fbi, along with andrew mccain, comey's deputy.t do you make of this new reporting and is there anything to possibly weaponize the irs with? >> right, so as we so often are forced to comment, we hear conservatives complaining about behavior by democrats, when they are really just protecting about their own behavior. because if there's anything that involves weaponization of the federal government it would certainly be sending the irs to investigate people you perceive as being your political allies. you know, that said, the sworn testimony says trump talked about doing this, but that there is no evidence that he actually followed up. the fact, though, that both director, comey and director mckay were subjected to what sometimes was called autopsy without benefit of death. this very detailed look into your finances, and that both of their wives were subjected to it too, because they had filed jointly. that is something that will require follow-up based on this reporting, if the doj has not already looked at it. >> so along with, thi

found in the white house last week for a couple weekends ago oversight committee representatives james comey the chairman of that committee has requested a briefing from the secret service about that saga. they are going to continue to go down this path of oversight of the white house request just remind the viewers out there. >> cspan2 is your unfiltered view of government. we are funded by these television companies and more including comcast. >> are you thinking this is just a community center? no it is way more than that comcast is part of 1000 committee centers to create wi-fi enabled soaked students from low income families can get the tools they need to be ready for anything. comcast supports he spent as a public service along these other television providers. giving you a front row seat to democracy. >> c-span is a place to turn to see this years national governors association meeting with comprehensive coverage. all sorts live from atlantic city on thursday beginning at 10:00 a.m. eastern on c-span three governors will address issues around youth mental health, paternal and infant h

and comey followed in his footsteps. he wanted everything centralized. so the first investigation ever done in the fbi under that centralized model was the investigation of the september 11th attacks, which the fbi code name for that was penn bomb for, pentagon, world trade towers, point bomb and that was he pulled that in and ran it way. then later, comey had the hillary clinton email investigation and then the investigate russian presidential collusion. the the trump campaign also run from headquarters so you all those levels of review and and i think that's how certain things got off the track because what you had was the same people headquarters making decisions the direction for the invested nation and then going out and actually conducting the investigation. so you had a guy like struck a deputy director rather high level executive he made certain he made the decision to open the investigation or at least he signed that authored and signed out that communication did both. he authored it and signed it out. and then the next day that was on a sunday

. >> i think it is unfair to compare what james comey did toological hillary right before the electionat the fbi has tried to do with republicans. i mean comey doesn't feel he did that but he really did put his finger on the scale there in a way that did really affect the 2016 election. there's lots of reporting that says hillary clinton might have won had it not been for that. i wouldn't say these are the same. chris wray is a republican and the fbi has been run almost completely, probably completely by republicans since its inception. i think this is a weird far right talking point. i don't think that there's much support for disbanding the fbi. >> i want to get to this. the new york post had this, falsely stating that covid-19 was targeted to spare jewish and chinese people. he said, we can't sharthe video. i'll put the video up onscre. covid-19 is targeted to attack caucasian and blacpeople. the people immune are jews and chinese. we don't know whether it was deliberately targeted or n but there are paper that's show the racial or ethnic differential impact. kennedy says the report

james comey said no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute hillary clinton. remember the 33,000 subpoenaed deleted emails and destroyed devices? no consequences there either. at the same time the fbi was perpetuating what was the worst russia collusion conspiracy theories against donald trump without a shred of evidence, and using hillary clinton's dirty dossier to defraud a fisa court and knew it was a lie from the beginning and author the author christopher steele a million dollars and he couldn't collect but they used that information before that fisa court and application. four years later in 2020 under christopher wray now fbi director the fbi continued to float the russia hoax all while pre-bunking what the fbi knew was a very true hunter biden laptop scandal to every big tech company in the country. they did it weekly. they met with big tech companies in the lead up to that election. they knew the laptop was real. they first had it in december 2019 and purposely misled social media companies telling them they may be victims of a misinformation campaign

it was jim comey. you are telling me jim comey was on donald trump side?d to set him up for this whole thing. >> responsible hillary clinton losing the election. because you think so? the americans -- the most untrustworthy candidate they had ever seen. >> there's been no flip on the sides of you will have conservatives who criticize tech -- let me put it this way. the right wants them to cooperate with the lefties do want them not to cooperate. now it is flipped. >> now you have conservatives defending big check from the government. the government -- there is no part in the case where the judge says, he knows that social media companies were terrified of political retaliation if they didn't comply with dictates. from its files in mark zuckerberg's interview saying when the government calls and said this is a problem, then you listen to them because you are concerned about that but i thought it was interesting that "the new york times" quoted disinformation experts. i don't know if there is -- less credible people at the moment on disinformation experts an

james comey also a republican, right? these are republicans.is interesting that, you know, it's a tenured term because they want it to be less politicized. most have been republicans and conservatives. >> all of them. >> they're the police. they want to defund the police. now they're the ones saying defund the federal police. i want to ask you about this because you were investigator there. what the right is basically angry about is that they have all these conspiracy theories that trump made up. trump will truth social something. the only one who uses truth social. i have never quoted something else as truth social post. he screams something and some conspiracy and what jim jordan and them are mad about your former colleagues won't go and then investigate it, no matter how looney it is. is that how you read it, they want their conspiracy theories validated by a real agency? >> they want anybody to look at anyone other than trump. this is entirely trying to get the investigations surrounding trump shut down. there is nothing about the organizat

the first in the history of world football match of the uefa challenge cup comey ball will be shown live on belarus 5 tv channel . the meeting will be held today at 23:00 minsk time. time calls for dialogue and serious steps to ways to resolve global conflicts. unfortunately, now there is a battle not only for truth and memory, but because of food , the grain deal is again on the lips. and bread has already become a currency and a subject of bargaining in the world ; it is in the blood of, perhaps, the vast majority of belarusians. the same applies to our policy, whether it be an external vector or investments, without which it is impossible to develop bright news stories in the political , economic and social life in the country and abroad. and of course, the development of the peaceful atom is sure. a step forward on the path of our economic independence, we return to our homeland. more precisely, even for a small homeland , small regional centers should have the same social infrastructure as in large cities. this is how the belarusians are building brick by brick, the future on their

former fbi director james comey, and former deputy director andrew mccabe.n testimony from his former chief of staff, john kelly. or how trump without security assistant from ukraine while seeking to have the country open a probe into hunter biden. or you can fast forward to today, as we find a different kind of weaponization with one man roadblock, alabama senator tommy tuberville, holding up hundreds of military promotions as a self interested form of protest. my panel is back with me. tara, do you think that republicans recognize that cognitive dissonance thing, calling themselves the party of law and order? and then in the next breath, bellowing demands to defund the fbi, to defund the doj, a purge the government of anybody who is not but -- >> as i often say, cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug in politics. we are watching this unfold display. these people are shameless. they really are. there is no bottom for them. this used to be a part of what attracted me to being a republican early on, the strong stance supporting law enforcement, supporting n

. >> jim comey and eric holder and loretta lynch drastically harmed the department of justice and theay has spent years fixing that. what you saw today was an animated and combative fbi director who is defending the men and work for him and do a great job. >> sandra: his defense of wray, and wray in the hot seat getting pressed by both sides, really, at times, said the idea he is biased against conservatives is "somewhat insane." that was quite a moment. >> yeah, and best of luck to chris christie with that message in a gop primary, tremendous distrust for the fbi. he made the fair point, hey, i was the only institution saying the lab leak theory was credible, he was right about that. however, a lot of questions for him, this radical traditionally catholic memo, he rescinded, he said aghast by it but won't allow the authors of that before congress until an internal review. none of this instills confidence in the american people, many of whom have distrust for the fbi. >> sandra: he was asked if they would reveal the document unredacted. can we have a copy of it, asked jim jordan. wray

famous quote from fbi director james comey. lot of people never bought that, so they are going to question why is trump being treated differently. >> donald trump is being treated different because he had classified documents that were about nuclear secrets, preparedness of america's allies, and to your original question, if we have learned anything from the four years of donald trump's presidency and his campaign leading up to it and the campaign to get reelected, he's the master of projection. anything that he accuses someone else of doing, if it's hillary clinton, barack obama, you name them, he has either done it himself for real or would really like to do it. what we are discovering now is that he has done all of the things he has accused hillary clinton of doing -- actually done. the emails they found on secretary clinton's server, and a lot of them had to do with cooking recipes and appointments. none had to do with nuclear secrets and secrets about our allies. you just can't -- there's no parallel. there is no synergy.

we call the one-on-one dinner with the former fbi director james comey dinner with trump back in 2017ch comey said he was asked to pledge -- the justice department superseding indictment released last week also eludes to the idea of how important loyalty is to trump. here's apart from it. just over two weeks after the fbi discovered classified documents in the storage room and trump's office on august 26th, 2022, now are called trump employees, called trump employee five, and said words to the effect of, someone wants to make sure if carlos is good, unquote. in response, trump employee five told nauta that de oliveira was -- loyal and that de oliveira would not do anything to affect his relationship with trump. that same day, trump employed nauta and the pack representative that de oliveira was loyal. that same day, trump called de oliveira and told de oliveira that trump would get de oliveira an attorney, in court. now at that nauta and de oliveira are tangled in trump's web of lies and deceiving, finding themselves in difficult and perilous legal positions. according to filing from

during which comey says he was asked to pledge his loyalty to the president. call me gym your, and a few months later he was removed from his post. the superseding indictment last week also eludes to the idea of how important loyalty is to trump. quote, just over two weeks after the fbi discovered classified documents, in the story from a trump's office, on august 26, 2020, to nada called trump employee five and said words to the fact, a quote, someone just wants to make sure that carlos is good. carlos de oliveira. at which point trump told not indict trump was loyal and the de oliveira which is not to do anything to affect his relationship to trump. that same, day after nadia's request, trump -- confirmed in a tracker up with nada and the pack representative that de oliveira was loyal. that same day trump called the and told deliver that trump would get cielo vera an attorney. and quote. now that not angela where are tangled in trump's web of lies they found themselves in a difficult legal position. according to filings from the federal election commission,

so president trump was briefed day essentially by jim comey and told that he was a russian asset. you can imagine this is a guy who's been selling real estate in queens and bronx and running casinos in city and the head of the fbi says we have information that suggests you are a russian asset and. we can now see as we have unfolded and i did work cia director trying to unpack the his role in that document. we can see that it was completely without foundation and that relatively early on senior leaders at the fbi knew that it was without foundation and much after that they knew it was false. not only could you not confirm it, as you have to do with any intelligence report, they knew that much of what was contained there was untrue. and for and a half years we suffered under that and the administration, not just president trump, but all of us. imagine you're the secretary of state traveling around the world and that foreign that prime minister or that president has no idea if you'll be the secretary of a week from now. the president could get impeached and convicted and a new team w

i remember calling the fbi director james comey. i called james comey and said ok, we take -- america has always taken people that were persecuted or need something. how are the syrians any different? he said, we are not able to that to them. i said well, then i can't take them. you are one job is to keep americans safe. always. when you've got the issue of the border, we will always have those laws that allow for people to come the proper way, if they have been persecuted. but that is not what is happening at the border. when you have so many people coming -- and it only takes one terrorist for something bad to happen. the other side of that is illegal immigration. illegal immigration for too long america has done quotas. that is the wrong way to do it. instead, go to where your businesses are and find out what they need. south carolina is an agriculture and tourism state. they can never get enough workers for those. iowa i imagine has something similar. you work with those companies and make sure those of the people that you bring

>> all those problems happened directly jim comey era.topher wray is coming in and fired every person that was in the leadership team in the fbi. these whistleblowers have come out because the atmosphere has allowed it to happen not drink the comey era not during when she was attorney general and they were charging hillary clinton which is what they should have done. the fact is these other folks in the race they are just looking for a scapegoat they want to blame anybody. i will tell them who to blame. blame joe biden and merrick garland who have not provided the type of leadership in the country or the justice department that you need. people should go to chris christie.com for they should look up what we have to say and to donate to the campaign will have these debates right on the stage frequency sounds like they've the fbi director gets to saving up the attorney general. government will see out there on the campaign trail, thank you. >> thank you, thank you she had a great fox news channel hosted the first primary debate just six wee

th -- in 2013 director comey added a visit to the martin luther king jr. memorial in downtown d.c. this year we move that to the national museum of african-american history and culture to broaden the trainee'' understandings of those lessons. the program that trainees go through is entitled law enforcement and society. it maintains the focus on the fbi's core values, respect, compassion, fairness, integrity, accountability, leadership, diversity, and rigorous obedience to the constitution. the newest members of our workforce learned about director hoover's request to wiretap dr. king and attorney general robert kennedy's approval of the wiretap, as well as the fbi's interactions with dr. king that followed. that fbi wiretap application, by the way, was five sentences long and did not present any evidence. it simply referenced "the communist influence in the racial situation." needless to say, that is a far cry from the title iii applications that agents now prepare that many of you review, which as you know spans dozens, if not hundreds of pages laying out facts and legal justifica

james comey said no, reasonable prosecutor, whatever. prosecute hillary clinton. remember the 33,000 subpoenaed deleted emails and destroyed devices. no consequences there either. no cand at the very same time, the fbi was perpetuating what was the worst russiae wors collusion, conspiracy theories all agains t trump, all without a shred of evidence. and using that falsea shre information. hillary's bought and paid for a dirty russian dossier all toy defraud a buys a court. and theyto d knew it was a lie m the beginning. and they even offered the author, christopher steele, $1,000,000 and he couldn't collect. buopher ston t they still use tt information before that fisa court and thattion applicationw four years later in 2020. fast forward under christopher i wray, now the fbi director. di to floatx ale the russia hoax all while pre bonking what the fbi knew was a very true hunter. biden laptop scandal.mpany to every big tech company inin the country, they did itch compa weekly. they met with big tech companies in the lead up to that election. nieshe lead up tthey
