Get ready to hear the truth about America on a show that's not immune to the facts with your host, Dan Bongino.

Folks, I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it. Not buying what? You probably ask. Attorney General Barr gave an interview to The Wall Street Journal, Kim Strassel, and he said something in the interview that just doesn't make any sense. He was talking about the whole Spygate scandal, the spying operation on Donald Trump's campaign and presidency afterwards. And he implied that the CIA, he detected no improper activity with this and Dorham investigation. That is not listen to me.

Listen, listen, clearly horse blinders on here. That is not possible. I'm going to walk you through today during the show, step by step, how it's absolutely impossible that John Brennan wasn't involved in this. John Brennan was the head of the CIA. And secondly, I'm going to explain to you why I think Bill Barr said what he said, implying that the CIA hadn't really done anything wrong. It's just not true. It can't be true.

I'll give you the reasons why. Don't miss today's show. It's going to be a good one. It's going to be like a Friday show, which did bonkers numbers. We walk. You do the whole Biden crime film.

All right, Joe, let's go. You know, it's funny. One more note about my speaking engagement this weekend in West Palm Beach. A Dan Bongino show listeners there, they all wanted to see the cannibal. I should have brought the candy bar with me. Thank you for the incredible reception we got. I was truly humbled. Humbled. You know, I get a I have a really thin skin. I was about to break out John Boehner.

Tears that because I love you all. Thanks for watching my show. I really appreciate music worldwide. All right. Let's get right to it. Let's get right to it. First, let's get to what I'm talking about. Bill Barr. Bill Barr is our attorney general. I've always liked Bill Barr. I've defended Bill Barr. I think he's done some really great things. But I think there's a misstep here and maybe he knows something I don't.

And if he does, we'll find out later. And I'm always willing, of course, to give you both sides to any story. But in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, he gave a Kim Strassel. He said some things in the interview which don't seem to comport with reality. Ladies and gentlemen, I've written three books on this. I've had some great sourcing on the whole Spygate affair and Bill Barr statements that he could not detect or Dorham hasn't yet detected any improper activity with the CIA.

Don't seem to make any sense. Here's some coverage in The Washington Examiner by two guys who've been all over this Spygate case, Dan Skateland and Jerry Dunn. Levy story will be in our show Notes Bunshiro, that newsletter. If you want to read the show notes there, Bill Barr, quote, Washington Examiner, No sign of improper CIA activity surrounding Trump Russia investigation launch. Folks, I'm not buying this at all. I'll get to Barr's potential motives for saying this later.

It's just. We all so we all understand we're going Bill Bar, no CIA improper activity during the spying operation on Donald Trump. Folks, that doesn't make any sense. Let's walk through this now step by step. And keep in mind, as I walk through this, I'm going to make the point to you, number one, why I'm not buying the story that I do believe John Brennan, the CIA, one only involved in the spying operation on Trump, but heavily involved.

That'll be point one point no to what I think is really going on. Why bother saying this? And point number three, the London Connection. And how that. May be one of the reasons Rugg, they're sweeping everything under the rug right now to avoid international embarrassment for certain foreign actors, if you get what I mean. So stick with point number one here, there's no improper activity with the CIA, the spying operation on Trump, all the media reports I'm about to give you, by the way, none have been retracted yet.

None. Let's go to Media Report number one from The Guardian. It's right here the story is still out there for anyone to see if you'd like to see this story at The Guardian. Please just put it in a search engine and you can read it right there today. There's no editor's note that says this story's been retracted and is false. The Guardian piece by Luke Harding. Back in twenty seventeen British spies were first to spot Trump themes links with Russia Exclusive HQ, which is the British NSA, is said to have alerted US agencies after becoming aware of contacts in 2015 alerting agencies.

Who give you my pass telling us how we haven't detected any improper activity with the CIA, we know the Russian collusion story that Trump colluded with the Russians is a total hoax. OK, and Joe Point stipulated, Paula, points. That really gets we know it's a total hoax. There was never a there there. There's no there. There now, all of it was made up. It was all in a fake dossier called the Steele dossier. It's all fake.

None of it was ever real. So if there was never any real Trump colluded with Russia information, then what the hell were the British giving to our intelligence agencies? The answer is fake stuff, fake stuff. It wasn't real. It was never real. The Mueller report was conclusive. Mueller hated Trump, but at the end concluded not only was there no evidence of Trump collusion, there was no evidence of any US actor colluding with Russia. None.

It's all fake from the Guardian piece again showing you how Baj Barr's conclusions can't possibly be real about the CIA. It says, quote, Did you first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious interactions between figures connected to Trump and suspected Russian agents? A source close to the UK Intel said this is all fake, folks. None of this was real. The intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information they added over the next six months until summer of 2016, a number of Western agencies shared further information on contacts between the Trump's inner circle and Russian sources said the European countries that passed on electronic intelligence known as SIGINT or signals intelligence, included Germany, Estonia, Poland, Australia and members of the Five Eyes Spying Alliance that include the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.

They also relayed material. One source said. So what do we know? We know now, according to this Guardian piece that was pretty well sourced at the time, and I'm telling you is accurate. That these friends of ours, the five eyes, intelligence sources, the US, the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and others, Estonia and Poland, along with the U.K., as I said before, five eyes are all passing information about Trump's contacts with Russians.

These are all fake. None of these are illegal contacts. There's nothing illicit here at all. Are passing it on to our people. You get it. Not complicated, very simple. Overseas, foreign intelligence entities are giving information to who? Our intelligence people who's our head intelligence agency, the CI a. led by. Giambra. The piece goes on and it makes even more specific that the British HQ, their NSA, actually the head of it, had some meetings with John Brennan, their peace, not mind.

Quote The Guardian, Luke Harding, according to one account excuse, had Robert Hannigan passed material in the summer of twenty sixteen, the CIA chief, John Brennan, not bywords folks, not Dan Bongo's words. This is the guard. They've yet to retract this. The matter was deemed so sensitive it was handled at the director level. After an initially slow start, Brennan used new information and intelligence from other partners to launch a major inter-agency investigation. Well, I don't get it, but so why is I don't understand.

So Bill Bars saying no improper activity by the CIA. So if that's true. Then the information passed from the five eyes channels, the U.K. and others to our CIA and John Brennan, as stated right there, John Brennan's name HQ, gave information to John Brennan, who headed the CIA. Then clearly this five eyes information. This is an official intelligence channel we have with friendlies overseas called the Five Eyes Intelligence Channel. Clearly, there's a record of this, Joe, the information exchange, and there's nothing improper about it.

That's what Bill Barr said. Right. All right. There was nothing improper about the CIA. They did everything by the book and by the book means that we have records which we would if information was passed like this. UK, this Guardian report says information was passed from overseas here about Trump to our CIA. Clearly, there's a record of it through the formal Five Eyes intelligence channel. But is there a record of that because it was all done properly?

Right, Joe. Well, let's listen to the great Devin Nunes gave this interview a while ago on Maria Bartiromo show. On Fox and Devin Nunes has been very suspicious about this from the start, because if bars right, the CIA did nothing wrong, then clearly there's documentation of these foreign governments who are friends of ours. Do this documented five guys channel where there's paper and electronic records. Clearly, there's a record of them passing this information. So where is it?

So this is a decision along. It's about a minute, 50 seconds. But listen, indefiniteness home right in on this and be like. Where's the beef, folks, where's the five I's records, where where is what happened? Check this out.

So it took us a long time to actually get this what's called the electronic communication as we know it.

Now, for your viewers, what that is, is it's the original intelligence, the original reasons that the counterintelligence investigation was started. Now, this is really important to us because a counterintelligence investigation uses the tools of our intelligence services that are not supposed to be used on American citizens.

So we've long wanted to know what intelligence did you have that actually led to this investigation?

So what we found now after the investigators had reviewed it is that, in fact, there was no intelligence.

So we have a traditional we have a traditional partnership with what's called the Five Eyes Agreement. Five Eyes agreement involves our friends in Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada and of course, us. So long time process and procedures in place where we move intelligence across. We are not supposed to spy on each other citizens. And it's worked well and it continues to work well. And we know it's working well because there was no intelligence that passed from five I's through the FBI's channels to our government, and that's why we had to see that original communication.

So now we're trying to figure out, as you know, we are investigating the State Department.

We think there's some major irregularities at the State Department and we're trying to figure out how it is that this information about Mr. Papadopoulos, of all people who was supposedly meeting with some folks in London, how that made it over across into the FBI's hands. We know a little bit about that because of what some of the State Department officials themselves have said about that. So we were glad to get this behind us. But now, of course, as we peel another piece back, it leaves more unanswered questions which we're trying to get to the bottom of.

Joe, you have the Devin Nunes translator for us. Can you please initiate that?

Here we go. Initiating Newnes Translator Denn Yeah, we have in you that you have to learn because Devin Nunes is is a good and decent man, unlike Eric Swalwell and others who have been compromised. He's not going to give up classified information on television. So you have to translate what he's really telling you. Let me translate this down to a one sentence bullet point. There was probably a black op going on here. It's always a dramatic turn right black ops, it's like the thing you see on TV, black CIA operatives like under the.

What he's getting at there is there was obviously foreign governments passing fake information about this Trump Russia collusion hoax to John Brennan at the CIA. It's been reported on. I'll produce more evidence later. We know it happened. It's not a secret, but Nunez is saying it didn't happen. Nunez is saying there's no record of that through formal formal channels. Was John Brennan conducting kind of thing under the rug operation by himself? To make sure this information made it to the FBI and elsewhere without having it vetted through normal CIA channels, that kind of sounds like what Nunez is saying there.

That kind of sounds like it be that this we know this happened, but Nunez can't find it. Meaning did it happen mouth to mouth? And I'm not talking about CPR. I'm talking about was Brennan the one marshalling this entire operation, do an informal kind of black ops channel he had set up with his overseas foreign friendly counterparts to taint Trump and frame him for a fake Russian collusion scandal? Was Brennan doing this, exchanging all this information and not doing it through formal channels?

We know it happened. We know there's a formal channel and we know there's no record of it. Really weird, isn't it? So maybe what Bar is suggesting there is? The CIA's formal information channels, they didn't detect any improper activity. Maybe that improper activity was isolated to one person at the top, John Brennan. Because we know it happened and what better way to launder information, fake information about Trump colluding with the Russians than to isolate it to one person at the top so no one else sees it and detects that it's all B.S., the tape and other stuff?

Right. If you know it's ridiculous, you want to keep it isolated to your major players. Right. Because you want other people reading it. And this is stupid. So what better way to do it than to keep it isolated to Brennan and then to launder it through the State Department? Who gives it to the FBI, too? So then Brennan passes it to the FBI. Hey, guys, look what I got through. Harry Reid. How did he do that?

Brennan briefed the old Democrat, Harry Reid, in August of 2016 about information in the dossier. And then Harry Reid wrote a letter to the FBI. Pretty simple. Brennan to Brennan to read. I'm going to tell you this information. A dossier, like it or not, you really should write a letter to the FBI and start investigating Trump. Another great way to do it would be to launder the same information through the State Department, which has almost no investigative capabilities at all.

They're mostly bureaucrats loyal to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton, who was the secretary of state. Right. And to get the State Department to give it to the FBI to. Oh, wait, wait, wait. That sounds like something Nunez said in the same interview.

Here's part two, a short clip of the same interview where Nunez says kind of the same thing that we do know that long time associates of Hillary Clinton, including Sidney Blumenthal and another person and I think Corey Schirò were actively giving information to the State Department that was somehow making its way to the FBI. This is from this is from two people within the State Department who have now publicly come out and said this. And I think in major news publications, so we know this.

We know this was at least from at least two witnesses who have publicly said this. And so what we're trying to do is we're trying to piece all that together. We now know that there was no official intelligence that was used to start this investigation. We know that Sidney Blumenthal and others were pushing information into the State Department. So we're trying to piece all of that together. And that's why we continued to look at the State Department.

So we know Christopher Steele, creator of the tape dossier. Right. The fake information indicating Trump was colluding with the Russians. We know he was meeting with the State Department. I'll get to that later. We know he was meeting with the FBI. I'll get to that later, too. And we also know the information he produced made it to John Brennan of the CIA because John Brennan told Harry Reid about it, who wasn't dumb enough to put it in a letter, the dossier information and send it to the FBI.

But Bill Barres found no improper activity on behalf of Brenin. How is that or the CIA, I should say, you didn't say Brennan. One more point about this, if the CIA was acting properly, there would be a record of the information they traded with overseas partners who gave us, we would see it. Why don't we see it when we know it happened? Why hasn't CNN retracted this article yet? If there's some formal information channel nobody can find, why did CNN report this?

British intelligence past Trump Associates Communications with Russians onto US counterparts April of twenty seventeen, an article we've only used 50 60 times on the show yet to be retracted. Someone's passing information about Trump team contact with Russians made up nonsense to our intelligence officials. How come there are no records of it anywhere? How come Nuñez can't find it? Was Brennan running a black op by himself? Why hasn't Brennan refuted a lot of this reporting? All right, I got to get to my second sponsor, but we're going to exit part one of this, remember, there's three parts to this.

Number one, there was clearly. A CIA led by Brennan Operation Information exchanging with overseas partners, I'm not buying Barr's story at all. There was no improper activity this year, none. Now we're going to get to what's really going on and the London connection and what I think they're really covering up. Let's get through our sponsor.

We really appreciate. All right. Now let's get to part two of this. So I'm obviously not buying bullbars story at all that there was no improper activity in the CIA. So what's really going on here? Folks, it's clear as day from those of you who have for those of you who have read my books and watched my show forever, that this is the most important story of our time. That our government, our CIA, our intel infrastructure and our law enforcement operation through the FBI and our State Department was corrupted to spy on a presidential candidate and then President Donald Trump.

This is a huge story. And why are we bringing this up again now? Because if we don't get to the truth, we will never have any accountability. And I'm not optimistic we're going to get any through the legal system, as evidenced by these statements by bar, which seem entirely ridiculous and implausible. I'm really sorry. What's going on here? No. One, two points. This was clearly an information laundering, you know, like money laundering, you sell drugs, you can't go to the bank and say, hey, here's my money from my buy crack cocaine.

Do you can't you have to launder clean the money you set up that whole show, Ozark on Netflix is all about that. How people set up legitimate businesses to launder dirty money through to make it look like it's real. Ladies and gentlemen, information looks like that, too. This was an information laundering operation, Joe. We've only been saying this now for four years, right.

Then what's information laundering? It's when you take fake information like Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election, fake. It's made up. It's totally discredited. And you give it the patina of truth. By laundering it and pushing it through multiple legitimate businesses like you would be money laundering, what were those legitimate businesses, the FBI, the State Department and the CIA? When you push the same information from Steel and Holper and Hillary Clinton's campaign, who was paying for this fake information, when you push it through all these entities and they get back to the FBI, the FBI said to itself, my gosh, we're hearing this from the State Department, from the CIA, from Harry Reid, from Steel, from Holper, from our agents in New York.

Gosh, it must be true. We're getting it from all these different people. It was never true. It was an information laundering operation from the start where they took fake information, pushed it through, flooded, you know, flooding the zone, you know, flooding the zone is in football. You throw a bunch of receivers down field, you destroy the ball up. That's what they did. They threw a Hail Mary, a bunch of fake ppy taped stuff, they flooded the zone and they sent it to every channel possible, figuring by the time it got to the FBI from 20 different people that the FBI would be dumb enough to believe it.

And they did. Or they pretended. Hopefully, that's the focus of BA. Number two, what's really going on here, and when I say what's really going to be why is ba ba ba saying CIA, no improper activity. So No. One, I think the information laundering operation is his first target. But number two, I think he's trying to avoid some significant international embarrassment.

I am not justifying this, I'm not suggesting this is the right thing to do, I'm simply giving you what I believe to be the truth. You've heard it from Nunez and you've heard it from others. There was an exchange of information. We just don't have the record trail of it because clearly somebody was hiding the record show by covering it up. Ladies and gentlemen, if this information was coming from the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom and others, I will never be allowed in the U.K. again after the show or other shows if the United Kingdom and others.

Where the kingpins behind a scandal to frame Donald Trump for a Trump Russia collusion hoax that never happened and the UK and other foreign partners were behind it because they thought Hillary would win and they could cover their tracks. Do you understand how dramatic of an impact that would be on international relationships of all of this became public? What's really going on? I think Bar and certain players in the Justice Department understand the nuclear bombshell, this would be that a foreign government frame the president of the United States in conjunction with our CIA.

And that they're focusing on the information laundering part and they're going to hang up the FBI folks first with these law enforcement consequences, potential prosecutions, we'll see. I'm not sure. I'm not confident about that. But I believe that the international black eye and the global intergalactic embarrassment it would be and the complete utter failure of our intelligence agencies to do anything other than spy on innocent American citizens in conjunction with supposedly friendly governments of ours, would be the biggest black eye in US foreign policy in modern human history.

I think Barres team sadly understands that. And I think they're trying to sweep that under the rug. What does that have to do with the London connection? Well, ladies and gentlemen, London is obviously in the United Kingdom, I'm sorry, but there are some liberals listening. You've got to get that out of the way. You know what's really weird about this case, we've already established the United Kingdom had a role in passing intelligence to Brennan CIA.

I just showed you the articles, multiple sources, CNN, The Guardian, not right wing sources, folks. I just showed it to you. Well, what if I told you the nexus of this whole case was the UK and London? Who is in charge of our London operation for the CIA when all of this stuff was going down? Gina Haspel. Was Gina Haspel, she was the station chief over there. She's the director of the CIA right now.

Someone's got something to hide. You think she didn't know? So, again, multiple media reports about the United Kingdom passing intel about Trump and Russian's fake intel to frame Donald Trump. She's the station chief in London and she doesn't know nothing about nothing. About nothing. Well, let's walk through the London connection one by one, because there's some eye openers in here to. LONDON, UK connections keep it simple for the liberals watching who are having trouble following this.

Let's go to this real clear investigations article by Eric Felton from a while ago, how this all seemingly went down in London right under the nose of Gina Haspel when she was in charge of it. And she's our current CIA director. WERD. Real clear investigations, quote, headline, FBIs man in Europe undercuts the war's claim of limited rusticate role. Forget the title for a second. Let's get right. Givati So you want to look it up yourself.

Put in the show notes today as well. Here's a screenshot from that piece is an interesting piece, folks. So this agent, Gaited Gatta. He was in the London office of the FBI gate is known still, quote, Since 2010, Christopher Steele produced all the fake rush information that made its way from the U.K. to the United States. So gate is known Steele since 2010, when they were introduced to one another by Broussard, the DOJ booster whose wife was working for the company hired by Hillary to create this stuff.

Weird folks, crazy. It was not a random encounter or appears to have been drumming up business for Christopher Steele, having traveled to London to host a meeting between Gatta and Steele in London at which Steele pitched having his private intelligence firm do work for the FBI. It goes on. Over several years, Steel provided data with reports and leads, and so when Steel call that the beginning of July of twenty sixteen to say he had important information, Gatta flew to London.

During a meeting at Steeles office on July 5th, that can't be the case, didn't open till July 31st. How is this happening? On July 5th, during a meeting in London on July 5th, Steele gave to pieces of what would ultimately become known as the dossier, including the report claiming there was a video recording of Russian prostitutes urinating for Donald Trump's entertainment, otherwise known. As the PBT. So the FBI's official story the whole time is that this case against Donald Trump didn't open until July 31st of 2016.

But Joe, I just read in that piece that there was a meeting in London on July 5th. Joe, just checking audience ombudsman time. I know this is tough. Think this through July 5th is before or after July 31st. Take a moment.

This is very important. It sits before way before the verdict is in.

Joe Johns, the genius it happens to be before and Joe is great. Thank God for the audience, but I couldn't figure that out. Really weird how Gatta, this FBI agent flies to London, where Gina Haspel is the CIA station chief in London. We know the UK's passing us information that's fake about Trump called the dossier that information because that's the only information about Trump in Russia. Anybody had. It was all fake. And we know the meeting happens three weeks before the FBI told us they started the case against Trump, which is weird because that doesn't seem to be right, that story.

Now, Kate is an interesting guy. FBI agent, long term relationship with Steele. Covered, by the way, I'm not I'm listen, I'm not into this shameless plug. You know, I don't talk about my book much, folks. There's a chapter. It starts on page seventy nine in my book, Follow the Money and I'm going to show a screenshot from where I go over this whole geita Stephen Somma Halpert relationship. But still, please, please read that chapter.

You don't even have to read the whole book. Just read that chapter page seventy nine on. Ghitis, an interesting guy, he knows the they go way back, steals the source of all this nonsense about Trump and Russia. They meet in London right under the nose of Gina Haspel, the CIA. You think she didn't? She didn't know. She's the station chief in London where the FBI is meeting about the BP hoax. So gator flies over there, weirdly, three weeks before they said they started the case.

That's just really crazy, but they're real clear piece goes on. They bring up another interesting little tidbit here about how this information starts laundering its way through various entities. Quote, After the meeting, Gator wasn't sure what to do with the documents, the BP documents. You know, folks. He wanted to get the steel reports to the right people at the FBI, but didn't know who the right people would be. He was reluctant to ask around for fear of spreading word of the explosive information.

Finally, in the middle of July, I thought this didn't start, I thought to start at the end of July, finally in the middle of July, Gater reached out to a trusted colleague who was in the New York field office. Oh, isn't that strange? A trusted colleague in the New York field office. Weird how that worked out. I thought the FBI said they didn't get the dossier until September 19. You understand how none of this what you've been told, none of this is true.

So the CIA, Gina Haspel, who's in charge of the London office, has no idea there's a meeting in London happening about the biggest scandal in human history that Trump is supposedly working with Vladimir Putin to win an election. Biggest scandal in human history. It's happening in London. And our CIA station chief current director of the CIA has no idea. Sure, the FBI gets this dossier about Christopher Steele here laying out this scandal. Trump is working with Putin to influence the election.

They get this dossier then, but they've insisted on the record. They didn't get it till September. But this is July 5th. Julys, Joe, again, one more time, Julys before September, correct, the get through buddy now. OK, thank you. Round two, Joe is never wrong. The guy's a genius. He's the Einstein of Ombudsman Julys before September. The FBI has told us over and over the hoax dossier had nothing to do with us starting the case that had everything to do with Papadopoulos, really weird because your guy in London meeting right into the CIA's nose there is meeting with the guy who wrote the PPY dossier in July and says he wanted to get it to this colleague in New York.

Who was that calling? Well, that's going to be important, I'm going to get to that in a second in my suspicions there. Let me get to my third sponsor, but don't go anywhere.

All right, back to the show. So we know now the CIA had to know what was going on. It was all going down in London. The FBI was meeting in London before they said they opened the case July 5th. They said they opened the July 31st. They know they had the dossier before that, even though they told us they got it in September because it's July. So then we know that gate passes this dossier to a colleague in New York.

Who is that colleague from New York? Well, in my book and what's the chapter, oh, it's called The Strange Tale of Case Agent one, Chapter six, whose case agent one case agent one in the inspector general's report that looked into all this. Was the one, quote, responsible for most of the errors in the FISA report. In other words, case agent one is the one who went in and swore that this whole PPY dossier in front of a judge to get a FISA warrant to spy on Trump swore that those facts had been verified when in fact they were a hoax.

All of it. Who do some people believe case agent one is? From my book, they believe it was this guy, Steven Somma, who incredibly folks had a connection to what the New York field office, Weiwei Gatta said he passed the dossier to a colleague in the New York field office of the FBI. But we are the FBI. This is in July, said they didn't get it till September. This is from my book and I have to throw this in there.

The lovely Paula strongly objected. This is an actual screen shot if you're watching on Rumball from my phone of my book, Paula, strongly, she wanted me to use a digital copy because this is an actual screen that she was nice enough to add to cover them. So I have to give credit here from my book. Again, who's case agent one? A lot of people believe it was Soma. Anyone who scrutinizes this is from my book, The Timing of Soma's Conclusions.

In other words, his swearing to the FISA warrant is likely to smell a rat. Let me back up again. Soma was a Russian ops expert when he worked in the New York FBI office. The Federalists reports that before Soma came to D.C. to join the CROSSFIRE team in August, he worked as a special agent in counterintelligence in New York, where he zeroed in on Russian operations. That suggests he was operational in the New York office around the time.

Steeles Rome based Handler Data sent a copy of Steele's first two memos to an FBI supervisor in the New York office on July 20th. July 20, this is not possible. Folks, the FBI continues to insist they didn't get the dossier of September 19th. But you know what's even weirder, that when Lisa Page was asked by Trey Gowdy, Lisa Page, FBI lawyer who was one of the leaders of the team in spying on Donald Trump, do the FBI remember her having the affair with Peter Stroke when Lisa Page was asked by Trey Gowdy when they first got some of the reports and Trey Gowdy said, So you got them on July 28.

She said, quote, Right, thank you. I do what I thought they got him on September the dossier report. Sounds like somebody's lying here.

You know what's even weirder to that, the FBI continues to insist they opened up this case right under the CIA's nose and Gina Hospital's nose in early July of 2016, yet they continue to insist that that didn't happen. They opened up the case in late July, despite meeting in early July right under the CIA's nose in London. Sounds like they're hiding something now. Sounds like what they're hiding is the fact that their whole case was based on the dossier. You know what's weird to.

That a source they were using with connections to the intelligence community, a guy by the name of Stephan Halpern, FBI source, who they were using for this report, had met with Carter Page, who was one of the subjects of the dossier. Trump team member Carter Page had met with him before July 31st in early July as well. That's really crazy, isn't it? The FBI has this source. They say they didn't open up the case until July 31st.

Yet their source is meeting with the Trump team member before July 31st. Sounds like somebody is lying, Mayor.

So now I think you get my London connection and what they may be hiding, some international embarrassment, so I said I had some good news, bad news. I do parlor teases on parler the show exclusively every morning before the show. And I said to you that there's some good news, bad news. I just gave you the bad news. The bad news is I am convinced I'm sorry that BA is. Not telling you the whole story, his insistence that there was no improper activity on behalf of the CIA is obviously erroneous.

Based on left wing reporting, The Guardian and CNN, somebody passed the fake stuff about Trump to our CIA. We know it. Why is BA hiding it, because I think they're trying to avoid the biggest scandal in human history. That our friendly governments were spying on a presidential campaign for us. Period, full stop. That's the bad news. OK, please give us some good news. This is not meant to take the edge off the bad news, it's just meant to give you the true.

BA has repeatedly stated this is the segment to get this Epic Times piece in a second, but has repeatedly stated on the record, including in an interview with Martha MacCallum about a year ago on Fox News, that he is zeroing in this this investigation into this into the whole Spygate scandal spying operation that he's zeroing in on, quote, private actors. He's used that term twice now. He used it in an interview about a year ago with Martha MacCallum.

I'm going to play it's just he said just probably played it on the show before. But in the very same interview with Kim Strassel. He said that term private actors, again, that we're looking into the FBI, not so much the CIA and also the activities of private actors. Here's a piece in the epic Tahmasebi up in the show notes again, Bungeni. That newsletter, a newsletter is the show, not you subscribe. You can read it there.

Ivan Patricof, Epic Times Durham's broad Spygate inquiry looking at private actors, Barr says. That was from December of twenty nineteen, he said it again in the weekend interview, so he said this multiple times, that was in twenty eighteen and he said it again in the interview with Kim Strassel in the journal. The same term, private actors. What is he talking about and why is this good news? Let's tie it together. We know foreign governments were spying on Donald Trump for our government here, biggest scandal of our time.

We know there were no records of it. Nunez's repeatedly stated there is no official intelligence product from these foreign governments. So, Joe, if the biggest scandal of our time, foreign governments were spying on a presidential candidate for the United States government, Barack Obama and others. If we know they were doing it, there were no formal channels, then how would they hide that? Maybe use private actors. Let's walk through how they did that. So we know Christopher Steele used to work for the British intelligence agencies and is now retired freelancing, working for Hillary Clinton, writing fake reports about Donald Trump and tapes and trying to collude with Putin to win an election all fake.

So we know Steel trying to launder that information through the Justice Department, the State Department, the FBI and the CIA by flooding the zone and give it to anyone who will listen. And one recipient of that information was Brewster. Brewster was the fourth highest ranking official of the Department of Justice under Barack Obama's administration at the end when they were spying on Donald Trump. And Bruce's wife conveniently was working for the company Fusion GPS that was paying Christopher Steele to produce the fake BP stuff.

So what did Bruiser say Underoath? About Christopher Steele, who wrote these dossiers, these fake things, these private actors. What did Brewster say under oath where he believed Christopher Steele got all this information that was fake about Trump and Russia? Well, let's just go to the transcript. Your quote. In the July 30th conversation, it's July 30th, 2016 conversation that bussau had with Steele, that's what he's referring to. This is Bruce's words in that July 30th conversation.

One of the items of information that Christopher Steele gave to me was that he had information that a former head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR, had stated to someone I didn't know who that they had Donald Trump quote, over a barrel. So we know Steele's meeting with the DOJ bruiser while his wife is working for the company that hired Steele and that Steele tells her, I got this information from the Russian SVR.

That's all his words right there under oath, he swore to it. Really weird, huh? Now, we know Christopher Steele meeting with the State Department, too, so not only Steele meeting with the Justice Department, telling Bruce or or implying he got this information from big time Russian intelligence people. Private actors, Theo. We know Steele also met with Kathleen Kovalik at the State Department, too. She was a higher up there. And Kovalik actually wrote down in her own handwriting some very specific notes about what Christopher Steele told her, where he was getting the fake information stuff from two and the Russian collusion, OK?

Mm hmm. The private actors, Theal. Look at Catholic's notes. These are actual notes, Rumbled Spungen, if you want to see them. This is a screenshot of her actual note. Steele told her in July, quote, that one of his sources was Trubnikov. Trubnikov was a higher up in the Russian intelligence outfit, so Christopher Steele is telling both or from the Justice Department flooding the zone and telling Kovalik from the State Department that his source is this guy, Trubnikov, who was a higher up in the Russian intelligence service.

You know what would be really crazy? If Trubnikov had a relationship with Halper, a spy working for the FBI. Halper, who had a job in Cambridge, in London, and Halper was working with Drobnick off to two private actors, both claiming they're getting information from the same Russian and probably making the whole thing up. Wouldn't that be nuts? I'll get to that. In a second, let me get to my final sponsor, a tie this thing up for you.

You hear him at the beginning of every show. Ladies and gentlemen, surf the Internet and piece. Get a VPN going to express VPN, dot com Bungeni, you hear it every day. Well, how did I choose which Internet service provider to use? The sad thing is, most of us have very little choice because ISPs operate like monopolies in the regions they serve. Then they use this monopoly power to take advantage of customers, data caps, streaming throttles.

The list goes on and on. But worst of all, many ISPs log your Internet activities, you know that. And then they sell the data to big tech companies or advertisers to prevent ISPs from seeing my Internet activity. I protect I protect my devices. All of them would express VPN. What is it? It's a simple app for your computer or smartphone encrypts all your data, your network data tunnels into a secure VPN server so your ISP cannot be seen or any of your activity don't have people spying on you.

Just think about how much of your life is on the Internet. Sadly, every site you visit, video you watch, message you send gets tracked by ISPs or other tech giants who then sell it for profit. That's the reason I recommend Express VPN as the best way to hide your online activity from your ISP. Don't wait, just download the app. Tap one button. It's that simple and you are protected. Express VPN does all this without slowing your connection.

That's why it's rated number one. Not number two, not number ten. Number one, the number one VPN service by CNET Wired. Stop handing over your data to ISPs. You know how I feel about this and other tech giants who mind your activity and sell off your information. Protect yourself today with the VPN we trust right here to keep our activity private online.

So we know bars looking into the activity of some private actors who seem to be running this black op outside of formal channels, sending all this fake information into the United States about Trump colluding with the Russians. And it steals a private act or raising money for the government, said we talk about it, I don't know, I can't get in Bill Basehead, but.

He seems to be really odd, Barr said twice, they're really looking into these private actors. Interesting. So we know Steel is claimed, he's getting this information, this Russia stuff from this guy, Trubnikov. We know is working with the FBI. We also know a noted intelligence contact, Stefan Halper is also working with the FBI. It would be so crazy if far had a relationship to this Russian Trubnikov, too, wouldn't it? Let's go to this Daily Caller piece.

This is just fascinating. It's an oldie but goodie, but worth your time by Chuck Ross, FBI informant. Talking about how poor bragged about links to Russian spies in secret recording of Trumpy. It's too much from the peace. These are helper's own words in a recording they have I have a lot of friends in Russia, Halpert told George Papadopoulos during recorded conversations which occurred over drinks at which the FBI recorded. My point is that Halper said the Russians can be very helpful to us at this time and we've got some great information coming out yet was all fake piece goes on how poor a former Cambridge professor Joe Cambridge is in the UK, right?

Just checking. Just checking. There you go, Joe. Three, four, three. London, this. London, UK, Cambridge. This is really weird how poor a former Cambridge professor rattled off the names of Russians Vyacheslav Trubnikov, Leonid Qaid Barson and Yuri Chartoff, according to a transcript of the secretly recorded conversation released on Thursday. Wow. Were these private actors working together because they're both citing the same guy for the fake stuff and Russia stuff and no, I won't stop calling it the stuff because that's how stupid it really was and it deserves to be mocked and laughed at.

So the bad news. Past statements about the CIA and improper activity don't seem to comport with reality. The good news, he has said multiple times he's looking into private actors, steal private actor, right. Halper, private actor, and they're both claiming they have the same Russian source triptych of. This Russian higher up in the Russian intelligence services. Crazy how Christopher Steele is from the U.K. and Halper, who's from the United States, works there, while Gina Haspel, our current CIA director, was the station chief.

All under her nose, she doesn't smell anything. She would be the worst CIA station chief in human history. Do you concur, Armacost? Yeah, not not too good. I just want to let that settle, but that was actually a radio I had to say that because I want to let that settle a bit before I get into the explanation here. What is BA hiding? BA is obviously hiding that Brennan knew about these private actors, likely knew about them what they were doing, because we have Brennan passing the information in Steeles dossier to Harry Reid.

And he's probably trying to give the CIA and China Haspel a pass by, pushing this all off on steel and holper the, quote, private actors. But when I get to Washington Post piece here in a second. This means either one of two things. If bars, right? That the CIA did nothing wrong and Gina Haspel, who was in charge of our was the London station chief at the time. It means Joe's right that she may be one of the worst CIA station chiefs we've had in human history because a U.S. intelligence asset working in Cambridge, Stefan Halper, is claiming to be working with the Russian head of the SVR, Trubnikov, in Cambridge in London, and she doesn't know anything about it.

So she really stinks, number one or number two. She knew about it the whole time. Halperin still were making it up. They used the United Kingdom in their intelligence service to embarrass Trump and set them up. And they lied about it the whole time. And Haspel knew either one of those options. They good. It's not good. It's not good. Either she was really stupid or she was in on the whole thing, huh? However.

Let's go to The Washington Post. I always love bringing out these left leaning sources because they try none of this has been retracted. And into the conspiracy theory by CNN, The Guardian and The Washington Post, the. Here's The Washington Post back in twenty eighteen, Cambridge University in the United Kingdom for the liberals watching. Cambridge University, perche gave FBI source that was Halper access to top intelligence figures and cover as he reached out to Trump Associates. This is crazy.

The Washington Post knows about this as CIA station chief in London doesn't. From that, let's go to The Washington Post piece for 15 years, Halper convened seminars, informal dinners and apartment gatherings in Cambridge, again in the UK for liberals with leading academics and one time leaders of the British spy services. His perch as a Cambridge professor gave Halper, a veteran of three Republican administrations, the chance to mingle with figures such as then Mike Flynn. Wow, that's weird.

And Vyacheslav Trubnikov. There's that Trubnikov again, former director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. This is all happening in London under our current CIA director's nose, and she doesn't know anything about it. A veteran intelligence operative, according to The Washington Post, not me, Halper, who's worked in Republican administrations to. Who is being reported on by The Washington Post having contacts with some of the most important intelligence figures in Russia? By the way, the same intelligence figures cited as a source by the guy who made up the dossier.

And the London station chief of the CIA knows nothing about it. You know what's really crazy about this two? You may be like at this point. Hey, Dan. How come Trump OK, Gina Haspel is director of the CIA. I don't know. I don't have a good reason. Was there some horse trade that went on somewhere? I don't know. If this happened under Gina Hospital's nose, again, she's even worse station chief in the history of London.

Or more likely, number two, she knew about this entire operation to spy on Trump using London, UK intelligence assets and private actors who were working right under her nose. I don't know why she was selected as as the CIA director. I have no good reason to tell you that. But I do find it awfully suspicious that Fusion can Delaney remember fusion can Delaney at NBC News? Yes, sir.

Ken Delaney, it is alleged reporter I know, Joe, who has been implicated in this Spygate media scandal because he's got a connection to Fusion GPS and getting ception. They jokingly call him Fusion, can delay it whenever they want to leak something about Spygate to make it look good for the scandal players. They give it to Ken Dolan in at NBC. So it's awfully weird that Ken Delaney and wrote this story at NBC about a Haspel. Check this out.

Why do so many spies support Gina Haspel at the CIA that's classified by Fusion, can the line hit? Let's go to a screenshot from the piece. Who else okayed Gina Haspiel thought this was a great idea to put Gina Haspel in charge of our CIA. Now, maybe the. Oh, John Brennan, quote Fusun Delaney at NBC, former CIA case officer John McGuire, who backs President Trump, has almost nothing in common politically with John Brennan, the former CIA director under Obama.

But they both agree that Gina Haspel should be the next CIA director. IFOP is a real, if I conspiracy theory. What better person to have in charge of the CIA to make this all go away in in bars like that, we didn't see anything improper at the CIA and hospitals. Like I didn't do anything improper either. Nothing. Really, it all happened in London while you were there. You know what the worst part about the whole story is animal.

Wrap this show up. The worst part about this whole story is as private actors were using foreign intelligence services to spy on Donald Trump. Where John Brennan being knee deep in the whole thing and our London station chief either being too stupid to figure it out or being part of it. They were using private actors and those private actors, one of them was on the US government payroll and you paid for it. No way. Let's go to this article by Glenn Greenwald, one of the few honest reporters left, not a conservative, by the way.

In The Intercept, now he's got his own sub stack, you got away from these loans at The Intercept, but quote Glenn Greenwald headline The FBI informant who monitored the Trump campaign, Stefan Halper, oversaw CIA spying operations in the 1980 presidential election. Glenn Greenwald back in twenty eighteen. But at the bottom of this piece is a really interesting little tidbit to tie this whole little gift package together, a gift package, Christmas week, whatever. Here you go.

Check this out. This little bad boy right here called Glenn Greenwald. Then there are questions about what appears to be some fairly substantial government, by the way, that U.S. government payments payments to help her throughout 2016, given the whole spying thing was going on a Trump. Poor continues to be listed as a, quote, vendor by websites that track payments by the federal government to private contractors. Crazy. There's the screenshot right there. Stefan Halper, Great Falls, Virginia.

So you sum this whole thing up for you. There was improper activity with John Brennan at the CIA for some reason, Barr wants that to go away. Is it because Gina Hospitals' telling him to go away because she was in London when the whole thing was going on and we were using the United Kingdom to spy on Donald Trump and it all happened under our nose. And we want to spare the United Kingdom the embarrassment, Gina Haspel, the CIA and everyone else.

So we're going to focus on the FBI who did equally wrong in this as well. But that's no excuse to let everybody else off the hook. What it Haspel know, when did she know it? It's only fair, right? This all went down in London with a spy on the government payroll who worked in Cambridge and claimed in his own words, his source was a Russian guy who appears in State Department notes as the same source, the Steele dossier author said was his source, this guy, Trubnikov.

What's the connection between the two? One last point. Halper, the private private actor being paid by the government working in London, White House, pulls the station chief there. And still former U.K. spy working for Mrs. Clinton, what's the connection? But they're both saying they got the information from Trubnikov, both of them, all the stuff, the stuff and elsewhere. They got Trump over a barrel, quote. That was attributed to Trubnikov, that's who they're talking about.

What's the catch, why do Halperin still both say that? I think they're not telling the truth. They made the whole story up. They attributed it to Trubnikov to give it the imprimatur, the petina, the code of seriousness. We got this from Trubnikov. I think they made the whole thing up. I don't think Trubnikov ever told them that. You think Travnik off the head of a foreign Russian intelligence has this information and nobody knows about it but these two private actors, I think they made the whole thing up.

I don't think they heard that from Trubnikov at all. I think they made it up. And what's the connection between the two of them? Chapter six. I'll tell you that if you buy it or not, I'll tell you right now about yachties only in my book. But if you want it in detail, all the details in reference to Chapter six of my book, what's the connection between Steele and Harper, who both have the same source? Wouldn't it be really bizarre?

If Christopher Steele's handler. Was Gatta, the London FBI agent working in London, you know, where Haspel was, the station chief? And Halpern's handler. Where Stephen Sohmer? Case agent one. The one responsible for most of the untruths in the FISA document, and wouldn't it be even weirder if those two both had a connection and both worked in the New York field office? I know it's a lot going on with the election and other things. I've got that President Trump just brought a case to the hopefully they're petitioning for a ferret at the Supreme Court for the Pennsylvania case.

I'll give you some updates and all that stuff. I know there's a lot going on, folks, but this is only the biggest scandal of our time. And I'm sorry, but what Bill Barr can't possibly be true. Now you have the full story, soup to Nuts. Hey, thanks again for tuning in.
