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

Yeah, so I'm getting more concerned by the day, ladies and gentlemen. And again, I'm not messing with you. This isn't like fake emotion for effect. Let me rile up the audience kind of nonsense you can go elsewhere for that that's not my thing the country's being unraveled in front of our eyes i mean the threads are being pulled and paul and i don't have this conversation with you last night in case anything we're like randomly pulling this out of the air i said to her last night i don't i don't know how we come out of this at this point you know the economy's falling apart we have sprouting flowering tyranny everywhere governors usurping powers they don't have to basically shred the constitution shred shred religious assembly, assembly, the operating of people's

businesses. Businesses now are forced to justify as Andy McCarthy, a legal genius who's on Fox often. He's a former United States attorney said, you know, in a free country, the obligation is on the government to tell you why your business is not essential to shut you down. The obligation isn't on you to prove you're essential to the government, to open up. Do you understand? Everything's backwards, ladies and gentlemen.

Now, finally, people are standing up. We interviewed Jax Myers on yesterday's show, the owner of a tattoo shop who was literally arrested and brought out of his shop in handcuffs for daring to open the door to his shop in handcuffs for daring to open the door to his shop because he has to pay the rent and feed his kids. God forbid he did that. But yesterday, a woman by the name, and I want you to remember this name, a woman by the name of Shelly Luther in Texas, she owns a hair salon. She dared to open up her salon and was threatened repeatedly in Texas, in Texas.

Listen, governor Abbott, I'm a big fan. The governor of Texas, huge fan. I think you've been great. I've interviewed you a lot on Fox. What are you doing out there?

Why are you allowing this to continue? You may say, okay, who's Shelly Luther? And what does this mean? Before I get to the Flynn stuff, Shelly Luther was arrested and is being sentenced to seven days in jail and thousands of dollars in fines because her and her hairstylist are going broke and can't feed their kids because of these unconstitutional lockdowns.

broke and can't feed their kids because of these unconstitutional lockdowns. This is now Shelly Luther. You have a spine of absolute titanium steel. God bless this woman. This is her in court yesterday in front of the judge who tries to chastise or you should be ashamed, judge. And she he demands Shelly Luther apologize for daring to open up her business. And maybe this will all go away. And Shelly Luther says, double-barreled middle finger. I ain't apologizing for squat. I didn't do anything wrong. I've got to feed my kids. Here is 45 seconds of Shelly

Luther responding to this out of control, out of line judge and saying, not today, not today, not on my watch and not today. If we only had people in Washington, DC who had half the guts of this Patriot play Shelly Luther. Judge, I would like to say that I have much respect for this court and laws and that I've never been in this position before. And it's not some place that I've never been in this position before, and it's not someplace that I want to be. But I have to disagree with you, sir, when you say that I'm selfish, because feeding my kids is not selfish. I have hairstylists that are going hungry because they'd rather feed their kids.

So, sir, if you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision, but I am not going to shut the salon. Yes! God bless you. We need more of this. I've told you repeatedly on my show, it's to dance what do i mean dance i don't mean footloose kevin bacon style folks there's a video i was shown by another activist friend of mine in the conservative movement she's been through a lot of fights

she showed me this video once. It was of a guy in a park. It's a real video. It's not a movie. It's not fiction. It's a real video. It's grainy, but it's old. I'd play it on the show, but honestly, it's an audio show first, and there's nothing really to hear.

But it's a guy in a park, and it's grainy, and he gets up and starts dancing, and the dance is kind of crazy. Nobody even knows what kind of dance he's doing, but it's nuts. He gets up at first, people laugh at him, goes on for a minute or two. And after about two minutes, the laughing dies down a little bit, but a guy gets up and starts dancing with him. All of a sudden, a third person gets up and then a fourth and then a 10th and then a 20th. And then the whole park of hundreds of people are dancing with this guy. It's a real video. The video is about a lot of things. Social psychology, sociology, group dynamics, leadership. It's about a lot of things. But I mentioned this video a long time ago on my show. It's one of my most listened to shows ever. I think it's called It's Time to Dance. I'm not really sure.

But there's one valuable point you should always take away from that video. It's not the guy who gets up and dances first that's really going to change things. It's the one who follows. It's the first person to get up and join the dance that says to the rest of the crowd, we're not going to let them stand alone. Ladies and gentlemen, don't let Shelly Luther stand alone. Listen, man, I'm not messing with you. It's time to help Shelly Luther.

Now, you may say, how? That's a fair question. We have to get behind these people. Don't let them dance alone. There are a number of different ways we can help. If you live in Texas, anywhere in Texas, Greg Abbott's your governor. He's a good man, but he works for you. I need you.

Please, I don't live in Texas or I'd be doing it myself I'm using my show as a vehicle to help this woman that's the best I can I'm a Florida resident my vote doesn't matter for Greg Abbott

it may if he runs for president his office should be bombarded you should get a busy signal for seven to eight straight hours today with phone calls

Shelly Luther should be pardoned immediately and these fines wiped out. So apparently in the Dallas area, I'm also asking you to help Shelly Luther's business out. Again, we're trying our best, ladies and gentlemen. We can't help everyone. But if we're just that first person, that first guy who gets up and doesn't let Shelley Luther or Jax Myers or others dance alone, we can save this place. It's worth saving. We've been in far darker times before. Think about it. We got hammered by the Great Depression and then World War II back to back. Hundreds of thousands of young Americans dead, hundreds of thousands of young Americans dead,

fighting the Nazis and their fascist takeover of what was going to be the entire globe if we didn't stop them. We've been in darker places before. I'm not here to lie to you, though. We're in a really dark place now. But the way to stop it is we're all going to have to take something on the chin here. I left my job a long time ago,

a secure pension and a job candidly I loved a lot in the Secret Service. It hurt. We almost went bankrupt. That's not a joke. The darkest day was when my daughter needed braces and we couldn't even pay the orthodontist because we had no money left. We need to get up and not let Shelly dance alone. Don't let any of these people dance alone. Flood the phone lines in your state if you're not in Texas. If you're in Florida, if you're in New York, flood the phone lines of every city council member,

every mayor, every governor, every delegate, every rep, every state senator. Flood their phone lines and ask them why they are prosecuting innocent Americans for trying to feed their kids. Post their office numbers on Facebook. You are obligated to call them. We're not leftists. We're not the violent ones. That's a leftist thing. But you have the right and the obligation now as a freedom-loving, flag-waving American patriot who loves this country and whose ancestors have handed you down the greatest constitutional republic in the history of humankind,

you have an obligation to honor their memory and fight this fight now. If this is allowed to persist, people like Shelley Luther will be all of us tomorrow. Remember what Bonhoeffer said. To not speak is to speak. And to refuse to act is to act. It's time to stand up right now. And one last note here,

governor Abbott, again, with all due respect. And I mean that that's an overused phrase, usually meant to insult people. I'm not trying to do that. I know you're a liberty-loving patriot. You must pardon her.

I'm hoping by the time this show is over that this show, that I get a bunch of emails, Dan, your show is already irrelevant. You already pardoned her. That would be the greatest day of my life for this show to be totally dated and behind the ball would be the greatest day of my life. You must pardon Shelley Luther and everyone else as well.

If the former governor of Virginia can pardon people who were felons in order to get them on the voting registries, you can pardon American patriots trying to feed their kids. Today. Today. Not tomorrow. Not one more moment of this. Dark times, folks. But you were born into it. It's time to not let Shelly Luther dance alone.

Okay, let me just lay out the rest of the show because, folks, this is another segment that's going to be troubling to hear. But again, we can't run from this. the hell was the bob muller team doing he said oh dan i thought you were gonna talk about mike flynn it's the same story it is now absolutely clear that the bob muller probe was an effort a continued effort from 2014 on to tear down a three-star general an american patriot like Mike Flynn. I am going to walk through this case

from start to finish, showing you the anomalies and the corruption. And I promise you, it is going to rattle your belt. All right, before I get into it, on a little bit of a lighter note, thankfully, it is Mother's Day. We all have great moms. We all love our moms.

Flynn bombshells cast doubt on Mueller prosecutor Brandon Von Grax compliance with the court order. What the Mueller team did to Mike Flynn to cover up the attack on this American patriot is unbelievable. And I'm going to ask the question now, and I'm going to ask again, like I asked of Governor Abbott, why hasn't this woman been pardoned yet, Shelley Luther? Why is Bob Mueller's team not under a full federal investigation right now? Let's walk through the evidence.

So who is Van Grack? Who's Mueller? Who's Flynn? Quick primer, Mike Flynn, obviously three-star general, Trump's national security advisor, targeted in a perjury trap by the FBI. Bob Mueller, special counsel appointed by the Department of Justice to investigate the fake Russian collusion hoax. He's not really there to investigate the collusion hoax, Bob Mueller, because he knows it's a hoax when he's appointed in May of 2017. Bob Mueller is there to set up an obstruction of justice trap for the Trump administration. That's his only purpose and his team.

We good? I know liberals are like, I'm not interested. I'm just telling you the truth, okay? Bob Mueller's team is not there to investigate Russian collusion. He knows in 2017 it's a hoax. He knows it. Because in January of 2017, the primary source of the Russian collusion narrative, Steele, his sources, Steele's sources are interviewed by the FBI who tell them it's a hoax.

Mueller knows it. He is only there to set up an obstruction of justice trap for Trump, to constantly poke Trump, interview his people, arrest Papadopoulos, arrest Roger Stone, arrest Michael Cohen, and to get Trump to fire people on the team and do other things, which I'll be honest with you, I thought he should have done early

and gotten rid of Mueller. Now you see why. Because Mueller's team was clearly corrupt, and then they were going to charge Trump after this with obstruction of justice. A hundred percent, that's Mueller's purpose. Van Grack, Brandon Van Grack, is one of Mueller's prosecutors who has a, I want to keep it family friendly, a mm-mm for Mike Flynn. I want to keep it family friendly.

A mm-mm for Mike Flynn. He has a strange attraction to Mike Flynn here. Bizarre. What we would call an unusual interest case in the Secret Service. Unusual interest meaning, why are you sending all these letters to this particular? Why are you so unusually interested in Mike Flynn? Van Grack. Legally speaking, of course.

Why? Because they wanted to shut Flynn up. Let's walk through this one by one, because this is absolutely devastating. From the Fox News piece about, again, what the Mueller team, Van Grack is on Mueller's team, did to him.

There was a court order issued to the Mueller team. You have to provide Mike Flynn with any materials relevant to his defense. This is a standard order. It's called Brady material. You can't prosecute anyone in the federal system without turning over evidence that may indicate their innocence. It's unethical and illegal. So the order, this is what they're talking about from the Fox news piece the order also requires the government to submit favorable defense evidence to the court including possible impeachment evidence not talking about presidential impeachment that could undermine witnesses even if the government believes the evidence not to be material can i come back to this and say come back just i want to be clear what would van grack who works for Mueller, Judge Sullivan is the judge in the Mike Flynn case.

They're prosecuting him for a fake perjury charge. He did not lie to the FBI. Van Grack and Mueller know this because the FBI said he didn't lie. The judge says to them, standard practice in the beginning of the case. Hey, Bob, you have to turn over any evidence, standard practice, that could indicate Mike Flynn is innocent or may impeach a witness's credibility. That's what they're talking about. Back to the piece, because this is important. Van Grack, again, working for Mueller, has long informed Sullivan, the judge, that the government's so-called Brady obligations, what I was just talking about,

referring to prosecutors' duty to turn over exculpatory materials to defendants, have been met. They've been met. Keep this up here. Interesting. They've been met because all this new material continues to surface.

These handwritten notes from the FBI about setting up Flynn, it goes on. In an October 2019 filing, Van Grack denied governmental misconduct and assured the court that the government has complied and will continue to comply with its discovery and disclosure obligations, including those imposed pursuant to Brady and the court's standing order. You're tracking me here, right? I hope. So Van Grack, working for Mueller, says, no, no, no, we don't have any evidence

indicating Flynn's guilty that we should have turned over to the lawyers. We don't have anything else. This is in October of 2019. Yet suspiciously, all of these notes from the FBI about how do we approach this? Do we set up Flynn for perjury? Just surfaced recently.

But Van Graak put his John Hancock, his signature saying, no, no, no, we've complied with the Brady material. We've given you everything, but you haven't. Oh, it gets worse. So you were hiding things?

Christopher Wray in the FBI, where the hell are you again? This guy's going to turn out to be the third worst director of the fbi seriously after comey and maybe we'll throw another one in there we'll give him a pass for now give him just a bronze medal as the worst director of the fbi in modern history it gets worse van grack again working for muller from the fox news piece we're going to go back

this fox news piece to later. Van Graak argued to Sullivan that Flynn's conduct and communication with Russia went to the heart of that inquiry, talking about the interview at the White House. And Van Graak said that Flynn's alleged false statements to the FBI in the January 24, 2017 interview were absolutely

material. The heart of the inquiry. But Greg Reed from the Fox News beat goes on so just to be be crystal clear what they're saying muller's team is now suggesting that they interviewed flynn at the white house because they were interviewing him about this russian collusion hoax they know is a hoax because the fbi has already interviewed the subsource and knows that all the material from the subsource is fake so So Van Graak is now arguing, no, we had to interview Flynn because we had to get to the heart of the Russian collusion thing.

But as Greg Rees says in the Fox News, by that time, the FBI had already cleared Flynn of any improper ties, coordination or communication with Russia. Just a day before the interview with Flynn at the White House, the Washington Post ran a story we covered earlier in the week declaring that the FBI had reviewed Flynn's calls with the Russian ambassador and found nothing illicit so now Van Graak has lied about producing all the materials relevant to Flynn's defense they hadn't

we're just getting them now FBI notes do we set him up for perjury or do we screw them on the Logan Act? Kind of material, no? I'm just saying. Now Van Graak is suggesting too that, no, no, they had to conduct the interview

of Flynn at the White House about his call with Kislyak because it was material. It was the heart of the inquiry into the Russian collusion thing, which is bizarre because on January 4th, there's an internal FBI communication just discovered, just discovered, I thought Van Graak said in October, there was no more material, just discovered, by the way, suggesting that he had been cleared, Flynn, and there was no derogatory information on him on Russia. I thought it was the, quote, heart of the inquiry. I thought it was material to the Russia probe.

You mean the Russia probe you already concluded, Flynn, there was no derogatory information, and he had no Roland? Oh, my gosh. What happened to this guy is a colossal epic cosmic level m theory multiple universes level disgrace i am so disgusted and grossed out you know by the beginning of the show you want to know why i'm upset now not only for the shelly luther story people being locked up for opening their businesses not only the fact that we're going bankrupt and the government doesn't care at all let's bail out the states with money we don't even have.

But we now have a media, full Pravda, full Soviet Union, Cuba, North Korean media, desperately covering up these known, and you only have Fox News covering it, and independent journalists, and people out there who do investigations like me. Don't call me a journalist. I don't want to be insulted. Jeff Carlson, Chuck Ross, Molly Hemingway, Sarah Carter, John Solomon. That's it. Technofog on Twitter.

Undercover Huber. I don't even know who they are. These are the real journalists. Nobody's covering this. You have a three-star general who they had information indicating he was innocent. They hid from the government, swore they didn't, and then interviewed him on a charge they already knew was fake. Where's the media? Here's the legal filing of Van Graak, and it tests what he said in court.

Talking about Flynn's false statements by the way huge hat tip to techno fog conservative treehouse um rosy memos on twitter again actual journalism being done on twitter this is where a lot of these highlights are from here's van grack statements flynn's false statement to the fbi on january 24 2017 were absolutely material how how were they material the fbi already investigated flynn on this fake russian connection that they tried to set him up with in 2014 with lakova svetlana lakova at the cambridge dinner and already concluded it was no good there was no derogatory information van grack is lying is anybody this is a attorney for the united states government you finance they work for you does consent of the governor not matter anymore now who's in on that interview so just to be clear they're interviewing him january

24th at the white house despite the fact that they? So just to be clear, they're interviewing him January 24th at the White House, despite the fact that they're leaking to the Washington Post that he found nothing wrong with Flynn's communications with the Russians. That's to put him at ease so he can set him up in a perjury trap. There's an actual FBI note indicating they're setting him up in a perjury trap. And the lawyer for the government's lying about it, saying, no, we were interviewing about Russian collusion that we already knew was a hoax. Who was in that interview January 24th? Well, the infamous Peter Stroke,

lovebird, who was one of the main investigators on the Mueller team before he got fired for his texts about the smelly Walmart people and all the other devastating stuff. Peter Stroke is in that interview at the White House. Remember the one, Comey? Yeah, we just sent a few guys over. Yeah, screw protocol. We just sent them over. We just knew the administration wouldn't catch on. Big fraud, Jim Comey, lying fraud.

But there's another guy in that interview at the White House with Mike Flynn where they're setting him up in a perjury trap about a call he made to the Russian ambassador ambassador the fbi already has the transcript up why are you interviewing him about the call you have the call because you're setting him up in a perjury trap hey mike do you remember the call they're reading the train don't give him the transcript to enhance his memory flynn didn't remember the call, the whole thing. Like, ah, you lied to us. You didn't remember every detail of the call. There's another person

in an interview, Joe Bianca, agent Joe P. Where's agent Joe Bianca? Why is Christopher Wray, again, now clearly, clearly one of the worst directors in FBI history. I'm sorry. I love the administrator. This was an awful appointment. Christopher Wray needs to leave the job immediately. Immediately. I get it. It's before an election. I understand the political consequences of doing it.

This guy's got to go. He has got to go. He is clearly in the way of truth and justice now. Christopher Wray, why are you not producing the other agent in that room? We've heard from Peter Stroke and his lies. There was another agent interviewing Mike Flynn, Joe Bianca. If Mike Flynn lied and Bianca was the note taker in the room and Peter Stroke was the interviewer, we know that. In that interview is Mike Flynn, agent Joe Bianca, who's taking notes about the interview

and Peter Stroke who's asking the questions those notes are then transformed into an FBI 302 form that's what it's called why haven't we heard from Bianca why is the FBI hiding him and why isn't Ray producing Bianca it gets even worse hat tip the great at techno underscore fog on Twitter, the great one. Well, the great ones live in. The great one, part two, at techno fog. Who discovered this one? So, agent Joe Pianca apparently was transferred to San Francisco a while back. San Francisco, can you get any farther away from Washington, D.C.? The answer is, of course you can. So here was a screen cap from Technofog of the FBI's own website, of the San Francisco office and the hierarchy,

and it shows that one of the ASACs in charge, Assistant Special Agent in charge, is Joe Bianca. Interesting. So he gets transferred to San Francisco. You might as well transfer him to another universe, Bizarro Superman World, can't get him any farther away from DC, you transfer him to San Francisco, and then the heat starts to develop on Bianca, because people start saying, hey, he was in on the Mike Flynn interview too, if Mike Flynn really lied, well, why isn't the note taker in the interview,

why can't we talk to him? Well, because he's being hidden in bizarro Superman land. But here's what's even more bizarre. After the heat starts on Bianca, look at this. The FBI's own website, Bianca's name magically disappears from the San Francisco office hierarchy.

Gosh, isn't that weird? Bianca? No, Bianca. Bianca? No, Bianca. weird? Bianca, no Bianca. Bianca, no Bianca. Where's Bianca? Don't forget that Bianca took the notes part. That's going to come up again in a few minutes. That's not just some administrative logistics thing. Stroke did the talking.

Bianca did the writing. No, that matters Why is Christopher Wray Hiding Joe Bianca Now not only was Joe Bianca The note taker In the disgusting January 24th 2017 interview with Mike Flynn

About a transcript the FBI Already has of a call with a Russian There's no derogatory information on it at all. They're there to set him up in a perjury trap, perjury trap, meaning get him to lie. In other words, no crime's been committed. Create a perjury crime by getting him to lie and fabricate a crime out of nothing. Pianca's got another interesting role in this, which may explain, which may explain why director Ray is hiding Joe Bianca in the San Francisco office, 52 million miles away from Washington, DC. I get it a little bit of hyperbole, but you get the point.

This is from the IG report here. Listen to this one. SSA one. Who is that? That's Joe Bianca folks was responsible for confirming that the Woods file was complete and for double checking the factual accuracy review to confirm that the file contained appropriate documentation for each of the assertions in the FISA application. the FISA application. So SSA1, widely believed to be Pianca,

was also responsible for the Woods file. The Woods file, the thing I've been talking about for, I don't know, three and a half years now. I've written two books about. The Woods file is a file the FBI keeps

that documents the facts they've used in a FISA application to spy on someone or the evidence and how they verified it. The Woods' file in the Steele case indicates that their facts, the Steele dossier and others, that they had no verification. In other words, they spied on Donald Trump using a dossier they couldn't verify. And the paperwork file they were supposed to keep, the Woods file showing they verified it, who maintained it? The same guy who was the note taker in the FBI's disgusting interview of Mike Flynn at the White House in January, who has seemingly disappeared off the FBI website.

Why are you hiding, Joe Bianca? the FBI website, why are you hiding Joe Pianca? Now, it gets even worse. Mueller team seemed to be hiding Joe Pianca too. So now we have Van Graak lying about

discovery in exculpatory material, hiding it. Mueller's guy. We have Mueller's guy again, lying that Flynn was central to the Russian collusion claim when the FBI, in their own notes, says there's no derogatory information and was going to shut down the case. We now have the FBI hiding the agent

who was in the room interviewing Flynn, who took the notes, who was also conveniently the guy who was supposed to verify and keep the file to verify the dossier that was never verified. And he seemingly disappears. Where was Mueller on that one? Let me give a big hat tip to Rosie Memos on Twitter here. Another great account.

Actual journalism there. Let's show you what else Van Graak and the Mueller team did to Mike Flynn to make sure not only they set him up and not only they make the agents who set him up disappear, but they were really big, the Mueller team, on manipulating transcripts. Again, hat tip, Rosie Membles. Look at this one, the highlights of this one. You may be saying, oh my gosh, what is that? Well, if you're watching on the YouTube, youtube.com slash bongino you can read

ahead a little bit but this is two transcripts back to back on top of each other what are they transcripts of they're transcripts of john dowd who was uh an attorney for the president trump calling mike flynn's attorney for a legal conversation. Now, the Mueller report somehow gets a transcript of that. The Mueller team, the hack Mueller team, you know, Van Grack and those guys. And they conveniently leave out that when when Dowd from Trump's defense team. Is calling Mike Flynn's lawyer, they leave out this one line. He's looking for some information about like a joint cooperation agreement and he says listen if you can without having

to give up any confidential information in other words Dowd's very clear to Flynn's lawyer that whatever you tell me I don't want it to be anything confidential but that's not what the Mueller report says the Mueller report says you know there's information that implicates the

president we've got a national security issue so you know we need some kind of heads up just for the sake of protecting all our interests if we can remember what we've always said about the president is feeling towards Flynn and that still remains deleting deleting the part that says without you

having to give up any confidential information they deleted it in the muller report tell me again bob muller's a patriot and a hero no i'm done with bob muller you want to defend bob muller's character i did this too i said bob muller thank you for listen great thank you for your military service that all. That's great in the past and good. We're happy you served. What you did to this man is a disgrace. You will be forever remembered for the stain you put on this republic with this god-awful lying potential criminal investigation into Mike Flynn.

Not criminal investigation into Flynn. Your criminality in your investigation into Mike Flynn, not criminal investigation into Flynn, your criminality in your investigation into Mike Flynn. You deleted the part of the transcript with Flynn's lawyer where they're specifically not asking for confidential information. You deleted that. So at one point, again, hat tip, Rosie memos here. At one point, At one point, again, hat tip, Rosie Memos here. At one point, Flynn's defense team says, hey, listen, don't you think we should get a hold of the transcript of the phone call

between Mike Flynn and the Russian ambassador? Being that that's what Bianca and Stroke interviewed Flynn about in the White House, his call to the Russian ambassador? How do we know Flynn's lying? Can't we get the transcript? Well, of course not, because these snakes, Van Graak and the Mueller hacks, what do they do? They say, we're not giving you the transcript.

Here's their actual words here. They say, the government further represents that it's not relying on any other recordings or of any person for purposes of establishing the defendant's guilt or determining his sentence, nor are there any other recordings that are part of the sentencing record. Notice, they get a load of this one. You want to get really pissed right now? They refer to the Dowd recording in the transcript. They manipulate it and they use that. When Flynn's team says, you're charging him with lying about a phone call he had you have the transcript how do we know he lied can we see the transcript Flynn doesn't remember the whole call they'd say no we're only going to rely on the transcript we manipulated with doubt

oh gavel, melon. What? No, you can't have the transcript we're actually charging him with. You can only have the transcript we manipulated and lied about. This gets better. And by better, I mean catastrophically, apocalyptically worse. Not only are they lying about the purpose of the meeting, lying about the FBI material they're hiding, lying about the

purpose of the probe, lying about the Russia probe being closed, lying about evidence they have, lying about transcripts. They're also lying about deals they've cut. I'm going to get to that in a second. Let me remind for my last sponsor, because I want to roll through this, because unbelievably, this gets worse.

The lies just keep piling up. The manipulated transcripts, the hiding of material, the hiding of agents. Joe Bianca, let's send them to Mars. Maybe he can be an astronaut. He'll never find them there. Shut down all radio. Let's leave them like Matt maybe he can be an astronaut he'll never find them there shut down all radio training let's leave them like Matt Damon in The Martian

we'll give them some seeds and stuff and they can use their own human waste to plant potatoes remember that movie The Martian not only that but they were cutting a side deal apparently as well the Mueller team

a little side deal with Mike Flynn's prior legal counsel from Covington and Berlin. You know, Covington and Berlin that hired Eric Holder, Obama's former attorney general. Yes, that one. So apparently Mike Flynn's former legal team was cutting side deals with the corrupt Mueller team. You want to see this bad boy? Look at Sidney when Sidney Powell's filing. They just found out about this little gem recently too. So in addition, Mr. Flynn's counsel has found further evidence of misconduct by Mr. Van Graak, you know, a Mueller's guy. Not only did he make baseless threats to invite, to indict Mike Flynn's

son, Mike Flynn Jr. He made a side deal, excuse me, he made a side deal not to prosecute Michael G. Flynn as a material term of the plea agreement, but required that it be kept secret between himself and the Covington attorneys expressly to avoid the requirement of Giglio. Giglio is a Supreme Court case where you have to produce any kind of deals you made to get someone to testify.

If I get Tony to testify against Bob and I cut a deal with Tony, then I have to disclose that deal so everybody understands what Tony's incentives are. Giglio. Don't ever forget Giglio. Giglio and Brady, very important cases. Well, the government apparently didn't want anyone else to know that they had threatened General Flynn with the arrest of his son and that they wouldn't prosecute his son if General Flynn testified. Why wouldn't they want anyone to know? Well, it's transparently obvious, as I discussed the other day. They clearly wanted General Flynn after their lying, disgusting, filthy charges against him. They wanted to use Flynn in the Mueller probe

to testify against President Donald Trump. But they didn't want a court to know that they cut a deal to get him to do so because then it seems like Flynn's not doing it out of the goodness and kindness of his own heart. He's only doing it to stay out of jail. So they hid this side deal. But that's not what Mueller's team told the court.

Oh no, oh no oh no here's bob muller's special counsel team their own signatures on this there's that van grack again brendan van grack he says to the judge no agreements promises understandings or representations have been made by the parties or their counsel other than those contained in the writing herein. Nor will any such agreements, promises, understandings, or representations be made unless committed to in writing and signed by your client, defense counsel, and the special counsel's office. That is a lie, folks. That is a lie. Covington, Flynn's old horrible attorneys, I don't know why he hired them.

Covington's own email said there was a side deal that they didn't tell the court about. A side deal they hid because if they were going to use Flynn to testify later, they didn't want anyone to know he was testifying because he was trying to keep his kid out of jail. You may say, my gosh, can this get any worse? Oh, of course it can. Of course it can. So, you know, that interview Joe Bianca took the notes on the January 24th interview at the

White House about a transcript they already had with Peter Stroke, Bianca Stroke Flynn in the situation room at the White House, trying to catch him in a perjury trap about a transcript they have right there. Well, Bianca's the note taker, Agent Bianca, who they're hiding on Mars with Matt Damon in that bubble he explodes. So Bianca's the note taker. And those notes get transcribed onto an original 302. An original 302 summary of those notes we still haven't seen. Submitted just days later, but it's in an FBI somewhere. Again, Christopher Wray, you're not only hiding Pianca.

Why are you hiding the original 302? Wray, answer the question. Answer the question. You work for us. That's not a campaign slogan. You're not a tyrant. This isn't the Gestapo. This is the FBI. Where is the original 302? Bianca took notes. It was submitted into the FBI system. Where is the original summary of Bianca's notes? The one that, according to multiple people who've reported on it, may not be so good for the FBI.

In other words, the original notes may indicate they didn't believe Flynn was lying. We don't have it. Just like we don't have the guy who wrote the notes used to form the original 302 we don't have. We don't have Bianca either because he's on

Mars with Matt Damon. Now, what's really interesting about that, look at this tweet from a writer at the Epoch Times, Mr. Svad, or Svad, sorry if I'm saying your last name wrong. This is at Peter Svad from Epoch Times. Peter Stroke texted in one of his texts to his girlfriend, Lisa page, FBI lawyer that he was quote,

trying not to completely rewrite the document quote. So as to save and it's redacted voice. What, what does that mean i'll tell you what it means peter stroke is texting his lawyer girlfriend lisa page a lawyer for the fbi mccabe's right hand woman the deputy director of the FBI who was not in on the interview but is intimately familiar with legal language and how to charge someone

with lying to the FBI lying to a federal agent the charge Flynn was charged with they're probably reading the initial 302 and in that 302 are indications that Flynn's telling the truth

we don't have that original 302. And as it's being edited over and over and over and over again to make it sound like Flynn is more and more guilty and Page and Stroke are involved in an editing process. For an interview, Page wasn't even in. Stroke at one point gets worried that the document may be straying so far from what Pianca actually wrote down that it may not preserve his voice. That's

what the redacted name is. I'm trying to preserve redacted's voice. That redaction is clearly Pianca. Now you see why Christopher Wray is hiding Joe Pianca? Wouldn't it be really devastating if Joe Bianca went up in front of a congressional committee and said that 302, that stroke submitted after 6,000 different edits, I'm being hyperbolic.

There were quite a few though. That's not mine. That's not what I wrote. Wait, wait, wait. We're charging him on an interview, in interview notes, a 302 that aren't

the actual interview notes? That's not mine. Listen, Joe Bianca, I mistakenly thought a while back that you may have been a white hat, a good guy and all this. I think I was wrong and I apologize to the leader. I really did. I thought the reason he was being quiet is because he may have flipped. He may have, he still may have. So I'll hold out full judgment. But where are you, man? Where are you? Does that oath mean anything to you? You know, when you hold up your commission book with the FBI and you raise your right hand? I did it.

I was an 1811 federal agent just like you were. I know I'm not as important or special as you. You got to be involved in the setup of Mike Flynn. I may not be the historical figure involved in the biggest political scandal in American history, but I raised my right hand and held up a commission book too and swore to defend an oath. Clearly, that oath didn't matter to any of the people involved in it. Where are you, Bianca? What are you doing? Why can't we find him?

Why are they holding him back? Why can't Congress, the elected representatives of the people, there's nothing about the FBI and the Constitution, nothing. There is, however, there are, however, the establishment of three branches of government. The Congress, who has oversight over the FBI, where are you? Why can't we

talk to Pianca? And why was Stroke trying to preserve his voice? Why not just tell the truth? You may say, come on, this can't possibly get worse. This guy Van Graak seems like a really bad apple. Oh, it does. There's even more.

There's even more. Here's Van Graak again. Remember I told you they were threatening General Flynn's son, Mike Flynn Jr., with prosecution to get Flynn to talk, and then they hid the deal? If your son, we won't prosecute your son if you testify against others. They hid the deal from the court. They lied to the court about the existence of that side deal. Well, you may say, well, what were they going to charge Mike Flynn's son with? Well, they were all over this contract apparently Mike Flynn had with people from Turkey. People from Turkey Flynn might have been lobbying on behalf of. Now,

in order to charge Flynn and his son with any violations of our lobbying FARA laws, Foreign Agent Registration Act laws, you have to show that you're working on behalf of the Turkish government, not a private citizen in Turkey. Please tell me you get this. The government has to show beyond a reasonable doubt that Mike Flynn is an agent of a foreign government and his son. That's what we're getting ready to nail him with. We'll let it go, though, if you talk.

And we'll hide it from the judge. Here's the joke of this whole thing. And the joke is on us. Mueller's team couldn't even prove Flynn was working for the government of Turkey. Look at this. As always, we produce the receipts. Oh, Paul, it ain't going to like that. The evidence for those who produce the receipts oh paul it ain't gonna like that the evidence for those who

hate the receipts so the judge asks the muller team hey have you made a request for financial information they say you made no request from financial information from turkey correct here's muller's team correct but the bottom line as far as the government's investigation was they didn't even try to get this information correct yes sir that's correct the judge you following me the judge says to muller's hack witch hunters you're getting ready to charge this guy with lobbying on behalf of a foreign government. Do you even have the records that he was lobbying on behalf of a foreign government?

No. Did you even ask? No. They're making it up. You know, I included in the show notes again today, we're not going to pop it on the screen, but it's in the show notes. Again, b're not going to pop it on the screen, but it's in the show notes. Again, bongino.com slash newsletter.

Please read it. An article in the Washington Examiner by James Galeano, a former FBI, a member of the FBI. Galeano, I believe, is a CNN commentator. Read it. Galeano is like, I've had enough. I've had enough of this.

What happened to Flynn was a disgrace. He's very honest. He goes, I tried to find a reason to defend the FBI and believe this was just an innocent mistake. Enough. Folks, it gets worse. Remember I told you earlier in the show,

don't worry, I didn't forget my place. I said the fact that P Bianca was the note taker is going to matter. Well, why? Because if Bianca took the notes on Flynn's interview where they said he lied, and Bianca's notes are used to create the FBI 302,

the summary of the notes, which is the original one, is seemingly disappeared because Christopher Wray magically can't find it. And Stroke is texting his lawyer girlfriend where they're massaging the 302, massaging it.

And they're worried about preserving Bianca's voice. That would be pretty damning in court, no? If the FBI agent Stroke, who didn't even take the notes, is massaging the notes, that would be pretty damning in court, wouldn't it? Especially if the original notes have seemingly disappeared.

Well, it wouldn't be if the prosecution team lies to the court and said, no, no, Stroke didn't have to preserve Pianca's voice or anything because it was Stroke's notes to preserve Pianca's voice or anything because it was Stroke's notes, not Pianca's. Be like, no way. They wouldn't lie about who wrote the notes. Well, whether they were lying or not, I'm not sure, but they most clearly misrepresented, and I'm being very nice right now now misrepresented who wrote the notes to the courts you don't believe me here we go exhibit two the dan bongino evidence file

yes this is a submission by muller's hack team of corruptocrats to the court where they say hey uh we misidentify the authorship of the handwritten notes from the Flynn interview on January 24th. The notes the government had previously identified as strokes are actually the other agents. And what the government had identified as the other agents notes are actually strokes. Oh, isn't that making amazing i'm leaving the expletives out now you see why they're hiding pianca p Bianca's notes are used for the 302 Bianca's on Mars with

Matt Damon they don't want Bianca to tell you anything about what he wrote down in the interview because Flynn didn't lie in the interview the original 302 probably says Flynn didn't lie or some indications of it the original 302 has disappeared Christopher Ray is hiding it on Mars with Matt Damon and Joe Pianca. Stroke actually massages the 302, produces multiple drafts. Van Graak and Mueller's team, as we showed the other day, keeps pretending that the draft submission thing, the headline, was a mistake when it wasn't. And then says, oh, by the way, I'm sorry, we told you those were Stroke's notes because he was the one writing the 302 again and again and again until it told the story we wanted but those were actually piankas after we got busted sorry my bad

let's wrap this up now and go back to the original fox news piece from greg rey which is worth your time, along with that Galliano piece in the Washington Examiner. So here's disgraced Christopher Wray, the current FBI director. Here's his sorry defense to all of this. This is a hat tip to Conservative Treehouse, by the way, who has a write-up on this as well.

But this is from the Fox News piece. So when questioned about a lot of this, why Van Grack and the Mueller team didn't produce all this material, the FBI notes about the setup, where the 302 is and all this stuff, here's Christopher Wray's pathetic defense as submitted to Fox News in the piece. With regard to certain documents in the Flynn matter from the 2016-2017 time period that are now the subject of reporting by the press, the FBI previously produced those materials to the IG and U.S. Attorney Durham. The Flynn investigation was initiated and conducted during this time period under prior leadership. Oh, there you go.

He throws Comey under the bus. We already know Comey is a loser. You don't have to add that. Since taking office, Director Wray has stressed the importance of strictly abiding by established processes without exception. Ray remains firmly committed to addressing the failures under prior FBI leadership. There he goes,

blaming Comey again while maintaining the foundational principles of rigor, objectivity, accountability and ownership and fulfilling the FBI's mission to protect the American people and defend the constitution. You get it. You see what he's doing there. Notice what he says. The investigation into Mike Flynn started in 2017.

The Durham probe, Ray, Christopher Ray, and his PR flax said, no, no, we gave Durham, the United States attorney investigating all this for Bill Barr, this whole scandal, we gave him that information. The Durham probe was in 2019 when it started. What were you doing with it for two years? Durham 2019, Mike Flynn's investigation starts 2017. You may say, well, Dan, did you read that? It says they gave it to the IG too. And the IG report started around end of 2017, 2018 too. Really? Well, where is any of that in the IG report started around end of 2017 2018 too really well where is any of that in the IG report huh so Christopher Wray super patriot the sequel you know Sean Hannity calls Comey the

super patriot Wray super patriot the sequel where was it in the IG so that you're telling me Michael Horowitz in his ig report there's no discussion of these notes where how do we set up flynn perjury of the logan that's never mentioned you didn't think to bring that up with the ig where is it in the ig report notice what else he leaves out again hat tip conservative treehouse on this one nowhere in that statement do they mention that these notes were turned over to the Mueller probe too. Why? Because Ray's clearly covering for the fact

that Bob Mueller's team, Van Graak and these hacks that engaged in this whole thing I just put out there for you, had all of this evidence of Mike Flynn's innocence the entire time. Ray conveniently leaves that out of the statement. And they prosecuted a three-star general and national security advisor to the United States of President Trump anyway. Gross.

Disgusting. All right, I want to play this as quick ad because it's just so, so devastating and damaging. First, I want to, which one do we have first, Paula? Was it Biden first or is it, okay, this is an ad, Brad Parscale and the fantastic digital team and the Trump reelection put together. I want to just end the show on this today because I want to end it on kind of a, I don't know,

a semi good note showing you how absolutely incompetent and inept of a candidate Joe Biden has become. A total disaster. We all know about the Reid allegations, Tara Reid allegations he's dealing with now. But Biden has never had an attachment to the truth. He is a chronic liar, a serial liar. is a he is a chronic liar a serial liar here's a devastating ad of some old mainstream media news coverage when joe biden was running for president running for office in the past of him making ridiculous claims and being shredded by media people decades ago check this is about 50 seconds check this out explaining to do the new question stem from tape remarks of Biden during an April campaign appearance in New Hampshire.

I went to law school on a full academic scholarship. The only one in my in my class to have a full academic scholarship. Went back to law school and in fact ended up in the top half of my class. I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year. I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only 123 credits. Biden now concedes he did not graduate in the top half of his law school class, that he does not have three degrees from college, and that he was not named outstanding political science student in college. Newsweek says Biden actually went to school on a half scholarship, ended up near the bottom of his class, and won one degree not three joe biden ranked 76th in a class of 85 at

the university of syracuse law school i mean this guy comes off this whole thing as a flyweight now biden says newsweek is right his memory had failed him joe biden's memory seems to fail him often i sincerely doubt it's going to get any better if he is elected president we have to deal with him Joe Biden's memory seems to fail him often. I sincerely doubt it's going to get any better if he is elected president. We have to deal with him and his serial misrepresentations for the next four years. All right. Thanks again for tuning in, ladies and gentlemen. I humbly, again, and with the greatest of respect, ask that you spread this show around. What happened to Mike Flynn is a disgrace.

What happened to Shelly Luther is a disgrace. this show around. What happened to Mike Flynn is a disgrace. What happened to Shelly Luther is a disgrace. The Republic's not going to defend itself. As my good friend and activist, she knows who she is, has told me repeatedly, we are the leaders we've been waiting for. Don't let Shelly Luther and don't let Mike Flynn dance alone.
