Monologue text: Durham's report reveals the real criminals
This week the long-awaited Independent Counsel Report from Special Prosecutor John Durham was released. It confirmed what most of us already knew—that the FBI and Dept of Justice went out of their way to abuse the law in their determined attempt to prevent Donald Trump from being elected President in 2016 and then to have him discredited, criminally charged, impeached and removed from office. The relentless attacks on the rule of law should make every patriotic American want to throw up. The people we need to trust the most in enforcing the law evenly, fairly, and with a blind indifference to politics were in fact conspiring to prevent an election they didn’t want, and when that failed, they tried to overthrow an election they didn’t agree with. Let that sink in. After YOU voted, instead of respecting the results of an election they knew to be fair, they used every means possible, most of them illegal to overturn YOUR vote! I want to know why these so-called law enforcement officers and high-level officials at the Justice Department aren’t the real insurrectionists? Where’s Liz Cheney riding in on her self-righteous high horse with Cowboy Kinzinger at her side carrying the water for actual justice like they tried to carry it for Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi’s posse and lynch mob who violated every last strand of decency even to the point of twice impeaching a President because they didn’t have the votes to simply defeat him?
I will say again that anyone who broke the law and vandalized the Capitol or sought to injure a police officer on January 6 should face charges, but we saw a lot of people arrested, shackled, placed in jail for months without a trial, and had their lives ruined who didn’t even go inside the Capitol. We’ve had some on this show whose stories are mortifying like Brandon Straka who was even placed on the no-fly list until he was eventually let off with minor misdemeanor charges of simply being in Washington that day.
But do not forget this big difference between those who went to the Capitol on January 6 and who have been called insurrectionists and those revealed in the Durham report—the people who showed up on January 6 paid their own way to get to DC and most genuinely believed they were carrying out their Constitutional right to protest. The federal thugs who sought to destroy Donald Trump and tried to overturn the election used YOUR money to do their dirty work—it wasn’t THEIR money that paid for Robert Mueller’s $37 million dollar witch hunt or the unknown millions of YOUR tax dollars used to conspire with Democrat operatives in creating phony documents created to get illegal search warrants and cause dozens of Trump associates to be bankrupted by legal fees. They used the people’s money which was supposed to go after real criminals. Instead, these government paid goons became criminals in the worst betrayal of the law in US history.
But here’s the question—will James Comey, Peter Strok, Lisa Page, James Brennan, Jim Clapper, James Baker, Andy McCabe, or their ilk have THEIR homes raided, their property seized and get frog-marched across their lawns by SWAT teams and go to trial and be held accountable for what they did to lead this insurrection? Probably not. And that makes me angry. Seething mad in fact because it tells me that there really is a two-tiered justice system at work in this country. One for the insiders; the elites; the deep-staters; the career government bureaucrats. And there is another for the rest of us.
And there is one more outrage in all of this. The media has proved to truly be the “enemy of the people” because they didn’t just fail to report the truth, they actively helped hide it, distort it and outright lie about it. And we can’t trust them. We need an honest and objective press, but they have destroyed whatever credibility they may have had. And they may have helped destroy a country in doing it.
Biden, Obama, FBI, DOJ, CIA conspiring “right in front of us”
One of the best analysts on the subject of FBI misbehavior, former U.S. Attorney for Utah Brett Tolman, appeared on Sunday’s LIFE, LIBERTY & LEVIN. They talked specifically on the FBI’s efforts to cover up Democrats’ crimes.
The FBI did this for Hillary, of course, but they just keep following the same pattern, this time with Hunter Biden and family.
“It’s quite a moment in history,” Tolman said, “to be watching this in real time.” He says he can’t look at what they’re doing with the Biden case without thinking of what was exposed in the Durham Report.
“You have, on one side...the Vice President and President of the Obama administration, and the head of CIA, and the FBI, and DOJ, all conspiring to make a hoax look like a reality on the Russian ‘collusion’ investigation, and then you have the same offices, same agencies and many of the same people, making what is real corruption and real crime out to be a hoax.
“And they’re doing it while they’re right in front of us.”
He said that if he were still a U.S. attorney, he would’ve indicted “this case against the Bidens” a long time ago. Notice he said “the Bidens,” not just Hunter.
“I would have indicted immediately Hunter Biden,” he said, “in order to put an incredible amount of pressure on him to expose the full...level of corruption that is at stake. Everything I’ve seen, from the shell corporations that can’t define what their business is, to the movement of money, the money laundering, to the tax evasion, all of it is really the bread-and-butter of what the FBI and DOJ used to investigate 15-20 years ago.”
Tolman said that those “formers” (former FBI officials) who go on the media to say there’s no connection to Joe Biden are saying something “absolutely false.”
“There’s sufficient evidence to present it to a grand jury and to get an indictment,” he said, “and I’ll tell you why. You have [Tony] Bobulinski, who has already connected that money has flowed into the company and then out of the company, and that Joe Biden participated in receiving that money. You have, already, a whistleblower who came forward to the FBI and exposed the connection to Biden, and Chuck Grassley requested the document, so it is reliable. That’s information that a non-political DOJ and FBI would have utilized to expose what may be one of the greatest episodes of corruption our government has seen in the history of this country.”
He said that when he went to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, he got some advice from the outgoing attorney: “Don’t cede your authority and power to Washington DC...You are nominated and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, just like the attorney general. He cannot fire you; you serve at the pleasure of the President.” This powerful statement helped him make decisions independent from the influence of politics.
“That’s not the case any more,” he said. U.S. attorneys are losing their independence. “The Founders of the Constitution knew,” he said, “that centralizing that power in Washington DC would be the most dangerous thing for our country. Well, that’s what’s happened, and the U.S. attorney there, and the U.S. attorney on the...Hunter Biden case, they have ceded their authority and, I would argue, their ethics, their moral compass, to Washington DC’s gravity. And that, to me, is offensive, and it should be for the whole country, and it should suggest that Congress needs to clean this up.”
So U.S. attorneys have their own authority to act --- they don’t have to be led around by the attorney general or anyone else.
BREAKING: Tolman had something very revealing to say about January 6: “The outgoing U.S. attorney at the time of January 6 had identified a very small number of individuals that should be prosecuted, and had indicated to the DOJ that [this] was his intention. They forced him out because he did not have the same vision that they did in terms of what they would turn the January 6 prosecution into. And so I think about that and who they put in their place, and I think it is someone that will toe the line and follow what Washington DC wants. And that is the greatest injustice we have, because now we see that they will...make decisions and use their power based on politics rather than based on the facts and the evidence, which would result in a lot of people being prosecuted and put in jail, including the Biden family.”
The incoming U.S. attorney Tolman was talking about, who apparently shared the DOJ’s “vision,” is Matthew M. Graves, who began on November 5, 2021. He shares the DOJ’s “vision,” all right; in fact, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling for him to be impeached for malicious prosecution of January 6 protesters. The U.S. attorney on January 6 who, according to Tolman, wasn’t as aggressive as the DOJ wanted must have been Michael R. Sherwin, who was appointed on an interim basis by President Trump (uh-oh) in March 2020.
But we see from his bio at current law firm Kobre & Kim that he did move quite swiftly after January 6. “Under his leadership,” it reads, “more than 400 criminal cases were filed and over 500 search warrants, were executed throughout the U.S. in less than 10 weeks.” This says nothing about prosecutions, though, and apparently he wasn’t nearly as hot to prosecute most of the J6-ers as the Biden administration was. So Biden (what else?) replaced him with someone who was. And we’ve seen the result.
