Again, I'm not talking about the working agents there.

I'm talking about the cabal that hammered Donald Trump is over after today. Here's what happens. Let me give you the lead first. The FBI knew 10 days before they walked into a FISA court. They knew their source for all of this information to target the Trump team, Christopher Steele, was not credible and was lying. Oh. Now, you may say, oh, well, Dan, you've been telling us he's been lying forever. Yes, I know that.

But we've never had the proof up until now. Now, why is this going to be a huge, enormous problem for the FBI outside of the obvious? They walked into a FISA court, said, hey, our source, Christopher Steele, he's really wonderful. He gave us this information about Trump colluding with Russia. Look how wonderful this is. That is not what they put in the FISA warrant, as you can see here. The FISA warrant reads very clearly at the bottom, we have deemed source one to be reliable.

Quote, source one has been compensated by the FBI and the FBI is unaware of any derogatory information pertaining to Source 1. That is Christopher Steele. Let me read that last line again because I'm going to decimate this guy's credibility right now. The FBI is

unaware of any derogatory information pertaining to Source 1. This is in the FISA warrant at the end of October. Are you guys and ladies at the Bureau, the FBI, absolutely sure you had no derogatory information about the credibility of Christopher Steele, Source 1? Well, that's fascinating because we did some homework, some friends of mine,

and they covered some interesting things, ladies and gentlemen. Some notes recently have been exposed about a conversation that was had with Christopher Steele on, if you'll put up this first handwritten note, October 11th. These are handwritten notes from a State Department representative, Kathleen Kavalec, who took these handwritten notes on, you'll see the date circled at the top there, October 11th of 2016. Ladies and gentlemen, 10 days before the FBI swears out the FISA based on information they get from Source 1, Christopher Steele,

they say there's no derogatory information about. So 10 days before, Kathleen Kavalec at the State Department meets with Christopher Steele, Source 1. Remember, Joe, there's no derogatory information. Yes, Dan. These are her handwritten notes. All those handwritten notes go on. Oh, this gets really, really cutesy now. Handwritten note numero dos. Number two. There's an interesting little note she takes about her conversation with christopher steel

10 days before the fbi swears he's the most verified wonderful source on the planet and they have no derogatory info let's see note number two what's in there oh oh what is that she's got a doctor's handwriting but don't't worry, I'll translate it for you. These are handwritten notes on October 11th, 10 days before the FISA. What does that say, Joe? Cohen Prague. Yeah. Cohen Prague. You could read that, right, Joe?

Yeah. Cohen Prague. The handwriting's pretty awful, but it's pretty clear that Christopher Steele, who she's talking to in the meeting, is talking about Michael Cohen going to Prague. Fascinating. Fascinating. On October 11th, Christopher Steele is telling a State Department person, Kathleen Kavalec, who's taking written notes, we now have, that by the way, we're hidden from the investigators in this case so thank you thank god and i am not using the lord's name in vain thank you for inspiring the whistleblower to give these handwritten notes the type notes we've had a long time the government has yeah thank you for giving

them to congressional investigators why is this co Cohen-Prague note important? Because, ladies and gentlemen, in Steele's information he's transmitting to the FBI, where he's trying to establish a case that Trump colluded with the Russians, the central component of his case is that Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, arranged this entire thing

and the payments for the emails and the Russian information on Hillary in Prague. Uh-uh. Follow me here. Alright. Joe, you are, it is your job, your solemn duty to be the audience ombudsman today. The sole basis

in the dossier for the Trump knowledge of this collusion scandal is that his lawyer paid for this information from the Russians in Prague. Ladies and gentlemen, what's the problem here? The FBI is swearing all this is true. I sure said it's true. Go to Prague. He's never been to Prague.

Now, you regular listeners, you're like, okay, so that that's all old news Cohen's already said he's never been to Prague Mueller's already said he's never been to Prague what's new here oh oh but that's not what Christopher Steele told the FBI just eight days later oh this is good this is just making me salivate right now like I'm looking at a ribeye. Here is the dossier. Remember, the dossier is a series of memos Christopher Steele puts in writing and gives to the FBI. Put up this little dossier portion and pay special attention to the date this is just gold oh what's the date on this joe uh october 19 2016 so october 19 joe just to be clear october 19th is after october 11 2016 right oh yes that's true, Dan. Okay, I'm not crazy.

Joe has confirmed it. October 19th is after October 11. On October 11, Christopher Steele walks into the State Department and tells Kathleen Kavalec something about Cohen and Prague, which appears in the dossier as Cohen going to Prague to set up this whole thing. Cohen has never been to Prague.

But what's the problem? Eight days later, in a memo known as the dossier to the FBI, note the highlights on my dossier thing here. The Kremlin insider, this is from the dossier, from Steele. He's talking about his source, a Russian colluding with him to attack Trump. The Kremlin insider was unsure of the identities of the officials with whom Cohen met secretly in August with? Or, Joe, the exact dates or location of the meeting?

Oh. Paula, please come back to me full screen here. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh, when I read this. Thank you. Thank you, CV. You know who I'm talking about.

My gosh, are you good? How is that, Joe? How is Cohen unsure? How is Christopher Steele, who they possess no derogatory information about, telling the FBI eight days after he told the State Department about Cohen's meeting in Prague? Yes. How is it that eight days later, in his memo to the FBI that they're using in their FISA document, he's saying, oh, I don't know.

My source is unsure where the meeting was. You weren't unsure eight days ago. Now, you may be saying, well, Dan, how do we know the FBI had the information from Kavalec? Oh, oh, we know. She transmitted her typed notes, not the handwritten notes. This is an important distinction to the FBI.

Those type notes the FBI has had since Joe October of 2016. Oh, now you entrepreneurial investigative reporter types may already be putting together where I'm going with this. Why would the differences between these recently revealed handwritten notes and the type notes the FBI, in other words, the FBI has known in type notes from Kavalec that Steele is lying? He had to be lying. He's telling the State Department on Octoberober 11th oh cohen was in prague and then eight days later he's writing a memo to the fbi yeah my russian insider's in sure unsure where the meeting was you just said it was in prague fascinating. The FBI has had those typed notes

of the handwritten notes since October of last year. And as John Solomon reported in his piece in The Hill, John has done great work. Christopher Wray, the director of the FBI, who has sold us out completely with this, I'm not sure I'm used to my spying last week. Chump.

John Solomon reported last week in The Hill that in an, by the way, the typed written notes from Kavalec were not classified in October of 2016 when they got them. That the FBI, just a few weeks ago, is redacting all of the information they had in the notes. Oh, isn't that fantastic? From John Solomon's piece. Everything else in the memo, we're talking about her typewritten notes transmitted to the FBI, was redacted when? Was classified by the FBI on 4-25-2019.

They will declassify it in 2041, 25 years after the 2016 election. Oh, this is just, if the first part I told you was gold this is platinum not only do we have knowledge now number one headline the fbi in october of 2016 before they swore their source was credible knew their source wasn't credible. He's telling the State Department one thing, Cohen's in prom.

She takes a note, transmits it to the FBI. He then writes a memo just days later telling the FBI he doesn't know. You're swearing the information's true. He is lying. He is making this up. Cohen was never in Prague.

You never thought to question why there's this discrepancy. Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may say, oh, what are all these redactions about? So the type notes here, the type notes from that meeting the FBI's had since last year, they were not classified. Now all of a sudden last month Christopher Wray classifies him. Why? Because they swore this was true despite having a series of transmitted notes saying this guy was full of stuff. How about that? He, how I told you these people were going to go down to three letter people. They're swearing he's telling the truth. Now, if you I know I'm going a little out of order so

forgive me to Paula and Joe but there's a second piece here of the dossier. There's another dossier screenshot I have. It's number 136. I went a little out of order. Where he mysteriously produces the next day.

Look at the date on the bottom. This is steel. This is the dossier. He mysteriously produces on October 20th 9 days after his October 11th reveal about Cohen and Prague to the State Department all of a sudden the next day

remember October 19th he doesn't know his Kremlin insider doesn't know where the meeting happened although we already told the State Department where the meeting happened the next day mysteriously Joe he comes up with it read the dossier look Look what it says. I'll read it for you at the end. He's talking about the Cohen meeting in Moscow.

It shifted to what was considered, quote, an operationally soft EU country when it was judged too compromising for him to travel to the Russian capital. Oh, so the next day, all of a sudden, he's inspired? And Steele figures out that was an operationally soft European country, referring, of course, to Prague. Ladies and gentlemen, takeaway number one, Steele is lying. Takeaway number two, the FBI had the notes. They knew he was lying.

They knew his story was unverified and unreliable because Steele couldn't even tell the same story twice. just a few weeks ago, redacted the memo so you wouldn't discover that that Cohen-Prague line was in there because it's redacted in the type notes. But someone at the FBI, when the handwritten notes became public, forgot to redact the Cohen-Prague part in the handwritten notes. Oh. Oh. forgot to redact the Cohen-Prague part in the handwritten notes. Oh. Oh. Maybe, Joe, just maybe, the FBI, in a panic, realizes there's another copy of these notes we've had since October.

Someone's got handwritten copies of what we had typed up since last year, showing our source was hot garbage quick redact them all but they couldn't get to it in time and their handwritten notes are now out there which will now from this point on decimate and destroy the credibility of Steele and the FBI agents involved in this case. Ladies and gentlemen, I am not overselling this when I tell you this single piece of information. I mean, this isn't it, but I'm telling you of all the devastating pieces of information destroying the FBI's case, stating pieces of information destroying the FBI's case that they had no derogatory information and their source was reliable is refuted by their own source who can't even remember his own story. I got more on this.

Their source can't remember his own story. There are many possible explanations of this. I was on the phone this morning with a source of mine. Very good. And we were going through some possible scenarios. Scenario number one. Steele tells Kathleen Kavalec at the State Department on October 11, 2016, about the Cohen going to Prague to coordinate Russian collusion.

Cohen's never been to Prague. Kavalec writes it down, transmits that information to the FBI. Steele is a paid source. He's not fired, fired, because I don't really think he was ever fired, until November. He wasn't. They tried to get him back later on. But he was fired, according to the FBI, so they could cover their butts a month later in November. according to the FBI so they could cover their butts a month later in November.

So in October, on October 19th, he transmits a memo to the FBI, we now call the dossier. And in that memo, Joe, it says, hey, Cohen traveled to go coordinate this thing, but I don't know where, and my source is, quote, unsure. There's a distinct possibility, Joseph, that Steele then goes back, has an oh moment, and goes, hey, guys, whoever he's talking to is handlers. I already told that to the State Department about Prague. Uh-oh, let's rush a memo out the next day saying, oh, no, no, new information. It was an operationally soft EU country. You see where I'm going with this? He forgets his own story. saying, oh, no, no, new information. It was an operationally soft EU country. You see where I'm going with this?

He forgets his own story. He's trying to slowly leak this to the FBI because he's being paid. He's being paid for it. He doesn't want to give up all the cookies at one time. Hey, what, $5,000 for this, $10,000 for that. But he forgets. He already told the State Department. It's not paying him the whole thing.

Who gave it to the fbi so he rushes out a memo the next day saying oh oh i remember now it's an operationally soft eu country you don't even remember your own story he forgot his own story. That's avenue number one. Avenue number two is even more disturbing. Remember the movie script theory we've been talking about the entire time? Yes, I do. Glenn Simpson, who is paying Christopher Steele, Steele is source one, Stee, I do. Glenn Simpson, who is paying Christopher Steele, Steele is source one.

Steele is working for Glenn Simpson and a company called Fusion GPS, hired by the Clinton team to go generate negative information on Trump, which later turns out to be false. If you read the dossier, specifically the Manafort sections, they read almost exactly aligned

in a parallel construction kind of way. They read like a 2007 Wall Street Journal article by Glenn Simpson about Manafort and his role in Russian influence in US politics. Where am I going with this? Ladies and gentlemen, there's a distinct possibility. Steele is feeding information to the State Department verbally

in that meeting with Kavalec and the FBI verbally meeting with, we know he's meeting with Bruce Ohr from the DOJ. We know Bruce Ohr has a handler, Joe Bianca from the FBI. There's a distinct possibility that the verbal information is coming from Steele like we have in the Kavalec memo, Joe.

But the dossiers with Steele's name on them were not written by Christopher Steele. What if they were written by Simpson? Oh, dude. Now, you may say, why is that a problem? Because, again, as we see in the FISA, the FBI is swearing in court that this information didn't come from Simpson, Joe. It came from Steele.

Came from Steele, who was a verified source with no derogatory information. It had to come from Steele because the FBI had worked with him before on the Saka corruption case. If it came from Simpson, it would be totally unreliable

and he'd have to go through a source vetting procedure. They didn't have to do that with Steele because he'd already been an FBI source. We're good, we're good. So Simpson writes the dossier or portions of it, maybe Nellie Orr, submits it to the Clinton team and others. That information somehow makes it back to the FBI, but it's not from Steele. Steele is telling a completely different story about Cohen and Prague just eight days earlier.

It's not his memo. That's possibility number two. Either Steele's so unreliable he forgets the details of his own story and he forgets Joe. This is why this is such a tier one level nuke on the battlefield of this case. level nuke on the battlefield of this case steel forgets the most critical piece of information of all that trump was colluding with the russians because his lawyer traveled to prague to pay for this information about hillary he forgets that detail does that make any sense to you no so either he's the worst witness in human history who forgets the one key detail of the entire case that matters. Or he didn't write the dossier which has his name on it, which the FBI uses to get their

warrant because Andy McCabe, the deputy director of the FBI, has already told us the case would not have existed without said dossier. So either the FBI is using a totally unreliliable ignorant idiot of a source who forgets key details of his own case or they're saying they're using that source and they're not they're using christopher or glenn simpson oh my gosh is this devastating stuff. I'll say. Fellas, ladies, it's over. It's over. It is now over.

It's over. You got suckered. You got suckered. That Christopher Wray went and retroactively classified a memo they've had from Kavalec in typewritten form since October of last year, which was not classified, because they're trying to hide this Cohen-Prague detail. It is clear as day. Now, now, oh, wait, wait. I am not done. Oh, I'm not done.

There is another juicy tidbit that I am almost positive is being hidden underneath the redactions in both the written ones that they rushed to classify now, but they forgot the Cohen-Prague thing, and the type ones they've had since October. Keep in mind, they're notes of the same meeting. But some heavenly-inspired whistleblower gave us these written notes, which are gold.

I'm going to get to that in a second. I've got to take a quick break here for Freedom Project Academy. But don't go anywhere. You like that, Armacost? Yeah, man. Killer show, brother. Alright, folks. Freedom Project Academy. Hey, right now, there are 50 million kids attending America's public schools.

The left isn't even trying to hide their indoctrination efforts anymore. If you had enough of this, Freedom Project Academy is the answer to you. The left is into ideological training. They're not into education training in our schools anymore. Real world skills like reading, writing, and arithmetic, they're gone. They've been replaced with social justice, gender confusion, and test-driven instruction

in the classroom. Our schools are wasting your kids' time. Even worse, they're harming your kids in some way. A lot of them, not all of them, but a lot of them. Freedom Project Academy is the answer here. Thankfully, you have a choice, and this is why Freedom Project Academy was created. Freedom Project Academy, this is important. This is an accredited classical online school built on Judeo-Christian values for students

in kindergarten all the way through high school. Freedom Project Academy has taken the interaction of the traditional classroom, and they created an online atmosphere where students across the country are instructed by live teachers in small classes, and they teach students how to think, not what to think.

The question now becomes, what was in those redactions that the FBI now has retroactively redacted from the type notes and ham-fistedly rushed to redact from the handwritten notes of the Kavalec meeting, where Steele tells the Cohen-Prague story he can't seem to remember in his, air quotes, dossier eight days later. Well, as Kathleen Kavalec, the State Department official,

on October 11th of 2016 is sitting there talking to Christopher Steele, taking notes, she's doing a little checking herself, something the FBI trained criminal investigators investigating Trump either failed to do or did and ignored. Keep in mind, ladies and gentlemen, what I'm about to tell you here, that we're talking about a State Department bureaucrat, Kathleen Kavalec, who is not a criminal investigator in any way, shape or form, who I can't get in her head, but I'm guessing in this interview with Steele where he's talking about Cohen Prague and this Trump-Russian collusion

fairy tale and all this nonsense, my guess is she's a little skeptical about Steele's information. Why? Because we have a little section redlined out of her type notes, which she sends on to the FBI later. This is important. I'm going to read this to you. He also winds up talking in the meeting Steele about this guy, Mikail callaghan it's not don't worry about it too much but she starts talking about steel starts talking about callaghan's travel so during the meeting it's pretty apparent kavalec is doing some checks she writes and this is circled here thanks to my buddy and parts of it are redacted this is key his travel history indicates he arrived in the u.s at at Dulles on April 4, 2016 and departed at Dulles on August 18, 2016.

She's talking about this guy, Callaghan, who Steele's talking about in the meeting. Then she's checking the travel history of another guy. She says that Andrei Bondarev appeared to be in the country as of late September 2016, whose most recent I-94, which is a travel document, indicates he arrived on August 29, 2016 at Dulles Airport. It's important to note that there is no Russian consulate in Miami. End comment.

Okay, don't worry. Don't worry. I'm going to explain how devastating this is. So first piece of information we have the FBI knowingly swore to information from an unreliable source is that the source can't even remember his own story to the FBI. Tidbit number two, the FBI has this information and retroactively redacts it to hide the fact that he told an unreliable story to two separate people and they swore to it. Point number three, the FBI swears in their own FISA.

They have no derogatory information about steel despite having it point number four there's a redaction in the middle of this piece where the state department official is skeptical of all of these russians traveling to the united states and starts checking out i don't know on texts or the treasury for whatever access database she has she starts checking to see if these people actually came to the united states or left and she has. She starts checking to see if these people actually came to the United States or left. And she figures it out quickly. The actual dates.

Now on the handwritten notes, she actually circles at one point. Remember those were the type notes with the red line on her handwritten notes. As she's talking about with steel, all these Russians come out of the United States and stuff. She has August 18th and she circles it right underneath it, indicating, Joe, that she's getting information and she's double checking it. Look at that right there.

It's up on a handwritten note right beneath the Cohen Prague note. She's talking about flying into the United States in early August. In other words, Christopher Steele, follow me here. This part may be a little bit confusing. Steele is telling her this Russian travel to the United States from late July to early August. He doesn't give her a date. Right beneath that, on her written notes,

she circles August 18th, meaning she probably feeds this information to someone in another room or checks it right in front of her and finds out in her database that the guy did travel to the U.S. on August 18th. What is she doing, Joe? She's checking the travel history of people Christopher Steele is talking about traveling to and from the United States involved in this scheme.

She's checking the travel history on her written notes right after the Cohen Prague note. Now, put up those type notes again. Notice how right in the middle of her checking these travel histories of everybody involved, Steele talks about Cohen traveling to Prague and there's a redaction right in the middle. Oh, oh, what's that redaction? Is Kathleen Kavalec checking in live time? If Michael Cohen went to Prague in her computer,

like she's checking these two other individuals in the type notes? And is that middle line a note saying, hey, check the travel history of Cohen. He's never been to Prague. Oh, Mr. Trump. Please, for all that is good, unredact this. this. God forbid that note in those

type redaction, in those type notes is a note stating eight days before eight days before that dossier piece that Cohen has never been to Prague and the FBI went to the FBI went to the

FISA court and raised their right hand and swore Trump colluded with the Russians because Cohen had been to Prague. This is not dead air. I want you all to stew. Let's do a five count.

Okay. Do you understand what I just told you? Yes, we do, Dan. That not only did the FBI have information about Cohen going to Prague 10 days before they swear Cohen went to Prague to coordinate this whole Russian collusion theory they want to spy on Trump for. Not only they have information that eight days later their so-called reliable source couldn't even remember

his own story about Prague, they may have information under that redaction about Cohen never having gone to Prague at all. Gosh, you're missing the if you are missing the YouTube today, but I think the facial expressions are worth the price of admission

alone. Listen, this will always be an audio podcast first. But my gosh, if there was ever a time to watch our YouTube and share it, this is it. Yeah, man. Joe, I know you're enjoying the facial expressions. Oh, yeah. My poor wife outside. I'm sitting here this morning,

and I'm like, I'm feeding her production information. I'm like, please, we got to get this up early today. We couldn't. It was just too much stuff. It's going to go up at the regular time. Ladies and gentlemen, it's over. It's over. The case is over.

It's done. Do you understand? It's over. If that redaction has, it doesn't even matter what that redaction says this is just icing on the cake but oh it is thick icing they already know their source their swearing is reliable is a bsr he's telling the fbi which couldn't just have done do you understand that a state department bureaucrat did the investigative work the fbi couldn't she's done do you understand that a state department bureaucrat did the investigative work the fbi couldn't she's checking the travel histories right there did you see the last line

in there the russian consulate line put that up one more time if you don't mind the state department bureaucrat kavalec hears from christopher steel that the russian side of this collusion thing with trump is being run out of the Russian consulate in Miami. She writes in her memo. It's important to note there is no Russian consulate Miami. Hickory-dackory-dack. This guy's full of it. He's full of crap.

He can't remember his own story and his key details are all fabrications. can't remember his own story and his key details are all fabrications there's no russian consulate miami the fbi couldn't figure this out a state department bureaucrat could cohen's travel history to prague god forbid that note says cohen's never been to prague i checked it and they transmitted that to to the FBI and then they walked it into court. It's over. It's over. Just please, it's over. Just come out and say it.

It's over. Just come clean and get the story out there so we can get back to the Bill of Rights, the Republican, have the Constitution mean something besides treating it like a tissue when you've got a head cold. It's over. Your source was crap. He lied. He made stuff up.

He forgot key details or misremembered key details you didn't do basic investigative work you didn't verify easy to verify things like a basic travel history check on michael cohen when the bureaucrat most likely did it. You didn't know there was no Russian consulate Miami. You're the FBI. What the hell is wrong with you? And Christopher Wray redact unredact this immediately. Immediately. We're American citizens. Our country is not yours. You guys work for us. I was a federal agent. I have paid due deference to the quality men and women I worked with in the FBI. Joe, you know that. Yes, I do.

They were great American patriots, the people I worked with. And I'm never going to take that back. But these a-holes at the top of the agency who are crapping all over this country. We run this place, not you. You work for us to investigate criminals and terrorists. You don't work for us to hide the biggest scandal of this generation. It's over. It's over. Your source was shit. You knew it. And now you're trying to cover it up. You're praying for a Democrat to get elected in 2020 so this will all go away. Your source was s***. Your whole case was your source.

Your deputy director admitted to it. You knew it. You failed to do basic homework. It was garbage the whole time. You have that Lindsey Graham video? Oh, I'm sorry. I know we went a little bit out of order. But now it is Lindsey Graham's appearance

on the fantastic Maria Bartiromo weekend show on Sunday on Fox. If you're missing that show, by the way, you're making a catastrophic mistake in judgment. Maria Bartiromo's Sunday show on Fox. I think it's on at 9 o'clock, 9 a.m. DVR it, because if you're missing it, you're missing out on some, you just don't know what, I'm sorry, you're missing out on key components of this case. Bartiromo, Ms. Bartiromo had Lindsey Graham on this weekend.

I want you to play this cut and listen specifically where he starts talking about a classified document. He has seen the full thing. The redactions are, he's seen them unredacted. And I want you to pay specific attention to what he says the FBI used to verify their source instead of doing what a bureaucrat did, some basic computer checks and Googling if there's a Russian consulate in Miami. Play Lindsey Graham. There's a document that's classified that I'm going to try to get unclassified that takes the dossier, all pages of it, and it has verification to one side. it and it has verification to one side. There really is no verification other than media reports that were generated by reporters who received the dossier. So the bottom line is the dossier

has never been independently confirmed. It was used to get a warrant. They knew the author of the dossier was on the Democratic Party payroll. He hated Trump. They got the warrant anyway. Most Americans should be upset about that. I'm very upset about it. And we're going to get to the bottom of it. I don't care where you feel, how you feel about Lindsey Graham. I can't vote for him. He's in South Carolina. I know some of you have some issues with his stance on immigration. Fine. Fair enough. But something's happened to Lindsey Graham over the last year. I'm not sure if it's because he's seen the behind the scenes,

he's seen who the wizard really is, and he's determined to make this his legacy to get to the bottom of this, but he is an inspired new man on this case. Yeah. There's nothing Graham or Devin Nunes or Jim Jordan or Mark Meadows, the heroes of this case, say on TV that they don't absolutely have some backup for, but they always have to say it in kind of a cryptic way.

What Graham just told you is instead of the FBI doing basic homework on a now known unreliable source, they had mounds of derogatory information on. He was working for the DNC. He hated Trump. He couldn't get his story right. His dossier conflicted with his interview with the state department just eight days earlier not only they know that but instead of then going the extra mile and trying to verify the information joe to clear up the miscommunication

graham has seen the unredacted document where they incredibly attempt to verify Christopher Steele and his information and his dossier. Not always the same thing. By using media reports that media people got from who? Christopher Steele. Dude. Dude. What a mess. In other words, Kathleen Kavalec at the State Department figures out in two seconds through

a travel check that some of Steele's information is garbage. She figures out there's no Russian consulate in Miami, probably because she Googled it. Probably didn't even have to Google it. And yet the FBI, instead of doing any of that, says, no, no, this guy's real, and we don't have derogatory information. He's verified because we read a couple news stories

about the exact same information. Well, Joe, why was it the exact same information the FBI had? Because it came from the same guy. You knuckleheads. Can you play that again? It's true. Dano guys. Take the L take the loss.

It's over. It's over. It's over. Over. I know what you're covering up. You are covering up using, and not only a horrible source, a completely discredited source you knew was discredited. In order to make it appear he was credible, you use media stories your same crap source gave to the media. You're also covering up a massive entrapment scandal. Our intelligence community, along with foreign intelligence. Where they tried to bait in Trump officials into an entrapment scam, notably George Papadopoulos and Carter Page. That you knew about.

I haven't even gotten to that yet. One last time. It's over. I mean it. I know we kind of mess around a little bit sometimes in the show It's over It's over You lost

Some of you will wind up in handcuffs For leaking to the FBI Some of you, notably Jim Comey, Jim Baker, Andy McCabe, John Brennan Some of you will suffer a worse fate Your fate will be that when the clear eyes of history look back on this moment, you will have been on the wrong side of liberty, freedom, and the Bill of Rights. And to the media goons, lunatic hacks in the media, who tried to gaslight us into believing that collusion was real and spying was fake. Know this.

In the one moment you had to shine and save the republic and do the right thing, you failed. Your kids will be embarrassed by you. Your grandkids will be embarrassed by you. History will use you as an example of exactly what not to do when trying to enter into the field of journalism. You will become a stain on our country from this point on. The clear eyes of history always tell the truth.

You won't be able to hide this forever. You people in the media will become accomplices to the biggest scandal in American history. You're a disgrace. Disgrace to everything this country stands for. I'm embarrassed for you. Disgust me. We knew

this two years ago. Disgusting. Alright. this two years ago disgusting all right i got one more story to get to hopefully i'm just uh it's over it is so over for these people there's no recovering from this please understand that share this to anybody who will listen.

Tell dan bongino sent you i really appreciate that okay um last story that you know let me just uh set this up a little bit too because this just goes to show so so number one where we just wrapped up what is the fbi hiding

now i mean it's over now i just told you what they're high so you now know what they're so they're not hiding anything we might as well just told you what they're hiding. So you now know what they're saying. They're not hiding anything. We might as well just come clean. But they're hiding the fact that they knew their entire case was based on Steele. They told the FISA court he was reliable. It's absolutely clear as day. They knew the guy was unreliable and was lying to them. They then failed to do basic investigative techniques, which a bureaucrat at the State Department figured out. So that's number one. We based our entire case on a lie. We're supposed to be the greatest law enforcement agency in the history of humankind.

And we face planted. But scandal number two is enormous too. Scandal number two is Spygate, where the FBI spied an intelligence agency on the Trump team or took information from spies. There's no doubt about that. That's not in dispute. Only amongst the imbecile class is that in dispute. Here's a fascinating tidbit. I have to hat tip. If you're not following this Twitter account, I know I said you listen to Maria Bartiromo show and watch it. I meant that because it's a great show. But on Twitter, if you're on Twitter, there's an account. It's at

John W. Huber. It's not John Huber, the AUSA investigating this case, actual account. He calls himself Undercover Huber. I have no idea who this guy is or woman. I'm not making that up. I'm not being coy. None. All I know is the information on his or her Twitter is

always phenomenal. If you're not following them, you're making a big mistake. So he had this interesting little tidbit this weekend. There's been a FOIA request for Andrew Weissman, Bob Mueller's right-hand guy who hates Donald Trump, is a Hillary supporter,

and keep in mind, knows the dossier is garbage because he's briefed on it in August of 2016. He's appointed to Mueller's team in May of 2017. So Weissman knows the whole case is garbage, but he's only there, of course, not to make a collusion case against Trump. He knows the collusion case based on the dossier. He knows the dossier is crap. He's there to get Trump locked up for something.

And they make up this fabricated obstruction of justice case. OK, that's the sole scope memo thing. for something and they make up this fabricated obstruction of justice case okay that's this whole scope memo thing but there was a FOIA request for Andy Weissman's calendar which is fascinating so we get his calendar and we see this little entry right around June 13th of 2017 Tuesday June 13th 2 p.m he has a meeting with the cyprus emlat cyprus what else happened in cyprus what's the emlat cyprus emla that's the mutual legal assistance treaty so we're requiring some legal assistance from cyprus ladies and gentlemen what else happened in Cyprus? Well, there's a fascinating entry from George Papadopoulos' book, Deep State Target, where George Papadopoulos writes, I make it through a restless night of sleep, wondering if I'm going to be the subject of a police raid.

The next day on June 9th, we fly to Cyprus and drive to an out-of-the-way remote town. I'm surprised. Every time I've been to Cyprus, I've stayed at the Hilton in Nicosia, where the business community congregates. Instead, we drive to a small village and Tawil pays a Vietnamese woman in cash for our rooms. This makes no sense to me. The only thing I could think of is that we're here because it's near a meeting place, but that's not the case. Maybe it's easier to plant bugs in some out-of-the-way apartment than in a hotel room. What the heck is Andy Weissman talking to people from Cyprus about legal assistance they may need? George Papadopoulos, ladies and gentlemen, a Trump team foreign policy advisor who was targeted by the intelligence community in

entrapment scheme. Many of you are familiar with, they send a guy in Mifsud who's connected to Western intelligence. He's not Russian. Like the Mueller report disingenuously tries to claim his Russian contacts. His contacts were minimal compared to his contacts with the Western intelligence community. They set up Papadopoulos and they send Mifsud in to tell him about this

alleged Russian dirt with Mevsudin says he doesn't say. They want to pull that information out of Papadopoulos later, the intelligence community. They want Papadopoulos to talk about it. They do that via the Downer meeting. Now, something interesting happens later on. Before Papadopoulos is arrested at Dulles Airport, he has this meeting he was talking about in his book with this guy, Charles Tawil. Well, this guy Tawil gives him $10,000 in cash for a business transaction.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, he gives him the money in Israel, and the next day he asks him to fly to Cyprus, who Andy Weissman conveniently... Do you have the photo of that tweet, by the way, from Huber that I sent it to you? Because the H that tweet by the way from huber did i send it to you because the huber tweet is so good if i didn't have it i'll put it up after the show but the tweet from the undercover huber account is so good because it lays out the timeline and it's just it's so clear what's going on right around june 8th and 9th Papadopoulos meets with this guy, Tawil, who gives him $10,000 in cash for a suspicious business transaction.

The next day, June 9th, Tawil asks him to fly to Cyprus. June 13th, just days after that, Weissman's having a meeting with Cyprus about some mutual legal assistance they needed. having a meeting with Cyprus about some mutual legal assistance they needed. Now, to be fair and hat tip to undercover humor and another account at Technofog who pulled this up. Here's a piece from Talking Points memo again, because I like to get both sides. I'm not unlike journalists. I actually do facts here. Weissman was investigating Manafort for some money being allegedly hidden in Cyprus as well. You can see it in this talking point memo piece here, which we have up, where he says,

according to Monday's filing, investigators first sought the documents from Cyprus in early June of 2017. So there's a distinct possibility here that Weissman's meeting is exclusively, meeting with Cyprus is exclusively about Manafort. But ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you a simple question as an investigator. George Papadopoulos is being set up. He's a Trump team member. The conspirators who are setting Papadopoulos up want to appear as a middleman in a Russian transaction for information with the Trump team. He's not dealing with Russians.

He's dealing with friendlies who are setting him up. The setup doesn't work. They need Papadopoulos to shut up and they need to arrest him on something. So what better way to do it than to give him $10,000? Who pays in cash? Who pays $10,000 to get nobody?

I have a business. Don't ever ask me to pay you in cash. That's not how we do business. You don't pay in cash. Nobody pays in cash. That's not how we do business. You don't pay in cash. Nobody pays in cash unless you're traveling back to the United States in the following days. Maybe you need some communication about the cash payments on tape in Cyprus, who Weissman's clearly dealing with at this point. And now it makes perfect sense why the FBI rushes to Dulles instead of Chicago to get Papadopoulos. I know, you're a little confused. I get it.

The FBI, somebody's setting Papadopoulos up. There is some relationship with the people targeting Trump and the Cyprus government. Do you actually believe that a Trump foreign policy person under investigation by the FBI, Bob Mueller, they arrest Papadopoulos later. He's under investigation, traveled to Cyprus by chance to meet a guy who just gave him $10,000 in cash, which conveniently is the exact amount you need to declare when coming back to the united states to not commit a crime you have to declare assets over ten thousand dollars ladies and gentlemen when papadopoulos travels back from that trip he he's going back to Chicago where he lives.

Why not just interview him in Chicago? They've interviewed him there before. Why does the FBI rush to Dulles to try to grab Papadopoulos at the airport in Dulles, not Chicago? You tracking me, Joe? He comes back from overseas on the same trip. He gets the $10,000 in cash. The amount he better declare or he's going to be arrested for not declaring it.

Where do you declare it? At the customs checkpoint. Where do you clear customs when you travel out of the United States? Your first entry point, not your end point. If you travel to the United States to Your first entry point, not your end point. If you travel to the United States to Chicago,

but you land in Miami and take a connection to Chicago, you clear customs in Miami, not Chicago. Is it just possible that the Bureau knew about this $10,000 cash payment made to Papadopoulos,

fully expecting him to show up at Dulles before he clears customs with that $10,000 in cash so they had something to arrest him on because their setup of Papadopoulos via Mifsud and Downer didn't work out because Papadopoulos never sent on any of the Mifsud information about Russian dirt to the Trump team?

Pretty difficult to conclude Trump's colluding with the Russians when the middleman you're setting up Papadopoulos isn't acting as the middleman he didn't send the information to the Trump team now they're afraid Papadopoulos is going to out them for scandal number two first that their Christopher Steele story is crap and story number two

that Papadopoulos was being set up they're afraid he's going to out them so what does Mueller and Weissman's team do oh head over to Cyprus we got some contacts there maybe we'll get them on tape we're working with Cyprus already on the Manafort thing has he got that $10,000 he didn't have it

Papadopoulos left the money in Greece now folks dollars he didn't have it Papadopoulos left the money in Greece now folks why would you have to nail Papadopoulos at customs you may say Dan I don't get it why not just wait for him in Chicago at the end of his flight if he had the $10,000 there

it would all be fine because they weren't sure he had the money. You can't swear to a warrant, swear to a warrant that George Papadopoulos entered the United States with $10,000 cash in front of a judge

if he hasn't entered the United States yet. They know he got the money overseas. They probably had a warrant ready to go assuming he was going to bring it back. They rushed to Dulles

because, ladies and gentlemen, you have no right to Fourth Amendment search and seizure at a U.S. border checkpoint. You don't need a warrant. You enter the United States, the Mexico border, at an airport or a port,

there are big signs everywhere. You can be searched and your stuff can be seized with no warrant. The Bureau wasn't sure he had the money. So they don't want to swear to a warrant saying he has the money, knowing they don't know if he has it yet. He hasn't landed. How are they going to go in front of a judge? Judge, Papadopoulos lands at 9 o'clock this morning with $10,000.

Guys, it's 7. Oh, darnadopoulos lands at 9 o'clock this morning with $10,000. Guys, it's 7. Oh, darn. I'm sorry, judge. Yes, he's going to land at 9 o'clock with the money. They couldn't swear to the warrant, but they still had to search him for the money. So rush

to the Dulles Airport when he comes back. Hit him before the customs checkpoint where he has no Fourth Amendment right there. Search him there. Uh-oh. Panic time. He's got no money. Quick.

Probable cause arrest for lying to the FBI months ago. It's over, fellas. It's over. It's time to come clean man thank you all sincerely for your attention today i mean it and i'm humbly and requestfully begging you on bended knee to share this with anyone who will listen.
