elizabeth: so more detail -- >> part of the reason is tim thibault. igor danchenko with his falsehoods allegedly, right? >> right. it all just shows a consistent pattern within the fbi, which as i said earlier predates the current director chris wray. i don't -- it is not enough to merely have a hearing with chris wray. i think a much more broad-based inquiry is necessary an probably is planned by republicans should they retake the congress. elizabeth: what are we going to hear about the doj probe into hunter biden led by the u.s. attorney david weiss? >> that's a great question. we all remember it was at a critical stage, about six weeks ago. and it was, it was a shoe was going to drop at any moment. we're still waiting for the shoe but you know, i'm starting to think increasingly it won't happen before the midterms because of sort of agencies are wary of enat the fearing, seeming to interfere in elections which is probably a good thing to be wary of, but perhaps afterwards but who knows. elizabeth: got it. we'll have you on. jon levine. good to see

and thibault assured him he'd keep him up to date with the next stage in the investigation.here was an investigation going on in tony bobulinski's amazing bombshell whistle blower allegations and told he would probably have to come back for a follow-up interview and he never heard from them again and seems that bobulinski's phones and phones andtestimony went into te black hole that hunter biden's laptop went into when the fbi took possession in 2019. the fact is bobulinski has nothing to do with the laptop other than he could corroborate a lot of material on the laptop because he was cc'd into a lot of e-mails we reported on from the laptop. he's a credible witness and there's no way you could smear him as an agent of the kremlin and former naval officer, much decorated, and had a security clearance, top secret for the nsa and department of energy. this is a star witness befores grand jury being convened in delaware to investigate various allegations about hunter bide and never been someoned or appeared at the -- subpoenaed or appeared at the grand jury. they've forgotten a

so tim thibault could be a klee witness for the majority when we try to uncover what was the reasoningind the fbi cover-up of the hunter biden investigation. because that is what it was, make no mistake. this is an fbi cover-up of hunter biden's influence peddling and shady business dealings all across america. remember, the reason we should care about the hunter biden shady business dealings is because he said the big guy gets 10%. we have already had two former hunter biden business associates already identified joe biden as the big guy. that is a poem for the president of the united states. >> todd: all of this coming as the treasury department refuse your request for hunter bi biden's -- just quickly before we let you know has the minority party needed permission from the majority party has treasury claims to get the documents before in your knowledge, congressman? >> never! before in the previous three presidents, trump, obama, and you could -- bush, you could get this suspicious activity board appeared you didn't have to jump through hurdles to get them hery were created for cong

however, thibault blocked the fbi from doing what would normally be done. accordingly, the investigative activity and information cannot be advanced as it should have been, which means the fbi could have gathered more evidence with respect to hunter biden, but cut bait instead. and the fbi and thibault cut bait right before the 2020 presidential election. since the information and activity was shut down, it wouldn't have been initially shared with any ongoing criminal code. that calls into question then what u.s. attorney wise is actually investigating. it also calls into question what the fbi's baltimore field office is reviewing and whether it's the full scope of evidence. now i've asked director wray about that whole issue. i asked him, quote, how can verified and verifiable information relating to hunter biden's potential criminality be shared with u.s. attorney weiss if it is shut down, end of my quote. we have no answer from director wray. at the judiciary committee's august 4 oversight hearing, director wray said that it's his expectation that such i

>> as you know tim thibault has been part of a coverup. he knew the hunter biden laptop was real.e being told. in fact russian collusion was even being blamed when in fact he knew what he had was an authentic and damning evidence in his possession. now he has retired which takes him out of the reach of the inspector general and others but not out of the reaches of congress if we're given subpoena authority. so we wanted to make sure he preserved any documents, that they didn't get shredded like hillary's blackberries and, that we would be in a position to actually have a discussion about not just what he knew and when he knew it but why he was part of a coverup and what he thought to accomplish. elizabeth: congressman that is the question. because more and more we're seeing the work of house gop members, for example, ranking republican james comer and yourself. james comer of house oversight revealing they found power point presentations on hunter biden's laptop that talked about the biden family selling u.s. natural gas reserves to hunter biden's business partner, cefc, that is b

your future point guy is tim thibault.he never followed up and closed the investigation without the normal process inside the f.b.i. this after they had had the laptop since december of 2019. plenty of time to look at it and verify it for bobulinski about who the big guy was. this is an inside cover-up job, it appears, from the f.b.i. certain individuals with a lot of power to shut down the investigations they don't like. thankfully the "new york post" is doing the work. >> harris: it is time to do more question asking and yes the "new york post" can't stand alone. as journalists across the board we need to be asking questions. as you called that one person, a rabid trump hater the president is being looked at as a rabid trump voter hater. what are the perks for the man performing at the top via his son? that's a wordy question. your patriot awards coming up are set for november 17th. tickets on sale right now. always a great occasion and always wonderful when you are part of it. good to see you. thank you. >> get them now

we know that tim thibault have been fired, and others involved with him. >> gillian: i want to stop youre, tim insists that he resigned. >> i understand that, he is no longer there. he was involved with this. we know there are others that were involved with him. we know there needs to be a thorough investigation of this. we know from other whistleblowers who are -- who have come to senator grassley and senator johnson and have talked about the political issue inside the fbi and that this is something people want to see, they don't want two tiers of justice. they want to make certain that the fbi is apolitical, and that they are going to do their job, and i think when you talk about joe biden and his meeting that he seems to be entertaining and welcoming xi jinping at the g20, people are curious what he's going to say. is he going to talk about hunter, is he going to talk about biden incorporated. is he going to give away more u.s. business. is he going to make it harder for companies like some in tennessee, people that are in the poly silica business, people making electric batteries, a

i am folly bah thibault. israel's military has finally released results of its investigation into the shooting and killing of shireen abu akleh . there will be no criminal investigation and nobody will be punished. al jazeera has accused the military of trying to evade responsibility. the network, palestinian officials, and shireen's family are all demanding an independent and international investigation. israel's findings contradict accounts. we are bringing in our guests in just a moment. the first this report. reporter: the pursuit of justice for shireen abu akleh within israel ended on monday. as widely expected, the israeli amount amounts that soldiers did not violate procedure and there will be no criminal investigation into her killing. while on assignment in may, senior military official offered condolences and called her death a devastating loss of life. the military report concluded that after multiple investigations, there was a high probability an israeli soldier accidentally shot shireen. the off

fbi agent timothy thibault was assigned to handle that case. the evidence that was given to him. spoke to tucker carlson how the biden family would split profits with of the man called the big guy was vice president. >> in that email there is a statement where they go through the equity at this, jim biden is referenced as 10%. doesn't say biden. it says jim. and then it has 10% for the big guy held by h. i thousand percent sit here and know that the big guy is referencing joe biden. it's -- that's crystal clear to me because i lived it i met with the former vice president in person. >> so despite being intrud extensively for hours by the fbi. writes neither bobulinski or his lawyer testified again. nor was he brought before a delaware grand jury investigating hunter. the "new york post" also reporting that a top justice department official chris clark worked with hunter biden's attorney, nicholas mccabe. they were at the same law firm together. as the treasury department, guys, also taking heat as well for not providing potentially suspicious b

joining us tech policy analyst will thibault from the heritage foundation.at story? it is good to see you, will. >> thanks, liz. it is striking testimony but i hope it is the last testimony the u.s. congress needs to take some action here. you're right, we don't know if it is one chinese spy who worked at twitter. we don't know if there are dozens. we don't know there is no law that actually respects the nature of digital life in the 20 first century and -- elizabeth: but they're setting the national conversation, right, helping to, right? >> they certainly are but i think that is all the more reason why there has to be some basic rules of the road. transparency requirements, minimum standards of respect for private privacy and user data that are established by congress because the quote from there was telling. they're always, the companies themselves are always going to err on the side of growth, even if it means hiring more foreign agents, even means exposing more user data. it's a lawmakers's job as far as -- >> allow chinese agents on as you shadow ban c

timothy thibault left the fbi couple weeks ago.llegedly blocking the hunter biden probe. you indicated this you saw this too during the school board parents fight. >> yee. elizabeth: to that the fbi was moving to pad the domestic terror threat numbers. we have hank johnson essentially equating school board parents with the capital 6 rioters. january 6 rioters. >> that is crazy and not true. elizabeth: did that happen during the school board could not controversy. >> 14 whistle-blowers come to our office while we're in the minority. we can't do a whole lot other than telling their story. they're doing it because it is so ridiculous. over 25 parents have been investigated by the fbi and because this, apparatus that merrick garland set up but to hank johnson's point, yesterday we were debating in committee. give me a break the school board's association themselves apologized for the letter. said we regret the letter, regret what we said. so the idea there is nothing there is ridiculous for him to say. elizabeth: congressman jordan, th

tim thibault suppressed claims from hunter biden's former business deal about joe biden getting a cutpany. trey gowdy oversight chair and federal prosecutor standing by but first, let's get you caught up what's going on mark meredith reporting live from washington hi, mark. >> good afternoon to you. the probe is still ongoing but lawmakers have accused the justice department of simply moving too slowly. now there is a new story as you mentioned in "the new york post" to outline where this case might not be moving as fast as some expected. in this opinion piece miranda devine writes a recent retired fbi agent allegedly went to great lengths to slow walk or hinder the investigation into hunter. in the interest of national security, it was the fbi's duty to investigate credible evidence suggesting a future president may have been compromised by china the millions of dollars paid to his family. tim thibault who was a special agent in charge of the washington field office retired from the fbi last month and his attorney said it was his decision to leave. he was not fired or dismissed. he g

wondering if things are going to start getting cleaned up because we heard news that fbi agent tim thibaults he was the fbi agent who was stonewalling the hunter biden investigation. he's out now, he says he retired. do you see as the fbi cleaning house or covering its back side? >> well, i hate to say it, based on, you know, what i've seen in the last six years, i peer it's the latter. -- fear it's the latter. a cya move, if you will, sean, rather than cleaning house and taking corrective action. when i came into congress in 2017, i came from an intelligence background. there are marines i served with who are now law enforcement officials, fbi agents. i have profound respect for the rank and file of the fbi, that special agent who's doing a very difficult job. but i think their leadership is failing them. and if there are things that i didn't think would be possible six years ago that now i think are possible in terms of leadership failures. and so there are other things that contribute to this pattern. for example, when a deranged leftist tried to kill members of congress at baseball prac

we learned last week that timothy thibault, who resigned was essentially the person in charge of ther biden investigation who pretty much told all of his subordinates to forget about it. it was russian disinformation. that computer wasn't legitimate. he didn't tell anyone about his interviews bobulinski, who publicly said joe biden was the big guy who was getting 10% of the that chinese energy company. nicholas mcquaid, head of criminal division, hired on first day of joe biden was president, also the first day joe biden changed the rules on suspicious activity reports we just learned he was a law partner of hunter biden's personal attorney. so there are a lot of problems here with the fbi, with house they tried to hide the criminal activity of hunter biden. how they have tried to block congressional oversight, congressional investigations and this is another reason the american people are so down on the fbi and have left confidence in our fbi. jackie: right. of course we can't forget that this is all happening at the same time that the fbi ramped up the raid or the investigation to

thibault was assigned as the so-called point man to manage bobulinski.hin the f.b.i. is going to be attacked and rooted out. are they an enforcement agency or aren't they? are they using political bias or not? that's why total transparency is important. >> griff: transparency doesn't seem to be what we're getting, sean. >> first of all, to senator grassley, of course there is political bias. they aren't about law enforcement. they are about imposing a political ideology in the f.b.i. and d.o.j. i was a prosecutor for 10 years. this is a lay-up case. you have the laptop of hunter biden with all of the emails laying out the money you're receiving from foreign countries and reserving 10% for the big guy. who is the big guy? bobulinski said the big guy is joe biden and i'll give you my phone text messages as well to lay out this case for you. the coordination and collusion between joe biden and hunter biden and foreign countries. it's while joe biden was the vice president. the problem here, griff, is you do have a political f.b.i. and d.o.j. though tim tebo
