[laughter] charged a month to them one of theseha mop guys cooperates ince then tells us about this in the book i don't give it away to be killed someone else to buy the way and gives us a name. i don't who it is for the fbiy agent said that guys been missing for years and he said we buried him in the woods i can show youan where. so we had to get it fbi dig team ready with the jackets in the backhoe me and the other prosecutors are like we should go, we should go we wanted to go it sounds so exciting. but we knew and our heart of hearts it's t the wrong thin

highlighted by grassley as being derogatory to either the republican party, then-attorney general william barr or the president, including a re-tweet from the lincoln project calling former president trump a psychologically broken, deeply unhappy man. he said that indicated a bias and asked that the director look into it. a recent congressional testimony director wray said he was troubled by those social media posts and aware of what senator grassley wrote about. there was a subsequent letter sent in july of this from senator grassley who said two whistleblowers came forward to him indicating that this former assistant special agent in charge of the washington field office attempted to close in a permanent way the investigation into hunter biden. if should be noted that the investigation into hunter biden continues. it's an investigation being led by an entirely different field office. the fbi field office in baltimore and is primarily led at this point by the irs criminal division there, the ones looking into the tax issues 14 that we have reported on involving the current president's son. th

. >> then -- i would quote mill william barr in his reaction, but i don't want to say it on live television. but it is exactly what he said about the arguments that were being made before. >> paul, the department of justice has said there are things that we do, people who we've talked to, as jill just said, that would compromise that, and may compromise future cooperation from certain people, or deter people from coming forward. this does -- i don't know what's in it either, but a lot of it seems to hinge on names and ways in which the department of justice got its information, and it seems like the trump side would like to have, they always seem to have names out there, and things like that out there. and some of that is actually just dangerous these days, being a named fbi agent involved in this, it would be dangerous to you. >> yeah, so the judge has the balance, the values of our open, criminal legal system. including freedom of the press. i guess the prosecutors concerns about protecting the integrity of the ongoing investigation. remember, this affidavit contains a detailed statement

and former trump national security adviser michael flynn, called into question attorney general william barr'sthe department and the decisions he was making. this came up during a raised congressional testimony last month, and he was asked about it, and he said it was concerning to him those posts. you know, the fbi director has been so rose solute here over the past several years pushing fbi agents to check their political beliefs when they walk in the door as it pertains to their investigations to be unbiased, open-minded and also to present that in their public postings or statements. i think if it was up to the fbi director there would not be a single agent that had social media presence other than the official fbi accounts. but this also then raised kind of a new level when in july senator grassley said he had been contacted by several whistleblowers who raised concerns, serious concerns, he says, about whether or not this former now assistant special agent in charge was involved with shutting down a potential inquiry into current president biden's son, hunter biden. a couple things to po

parts of a memo used by former attorney general william barr to conclude that then president trump did not obstruct justice in the russia investigation were improperly withheld. that is, according to a federal appeals panel. government transparency groups sued to see that memo. it was not handed over with other documents because government lawyers said it reflected internal deliberations and was exempt. the justice department can appeal the ruling. next week. we could get some clarity on why the fbi searched the home of the former president. the justice department has been instructed by the judge in the case to make redactions before he decides what to release. their deadline is thursday, trump and his allies in congress say they want the full document to be released. i think full transparency is what's really called for in this very extraordinary situation. major news organizations are asking the judge to unseal the affidavit. they argue it's in the public interest to know what motivated the unprecedented move . lawyers from the justice department can appeal. whatever the judge decide
