The Dan Bongino Show - This Isn’t Justice, It’s an Embarrassment # 937 (Ep 937)

Episode Date: March 15, 2019

In this episode I address the latest revelations that the FBI may be in possession of damaging information indicating that the Trump team was innocent and that it was being framed. I discuss the abomination of “justice” that’s slowly being revealed in the Clinton probe versus the Trump probe. Finally, I address how media bias works and how false stories are spread around.    News Picks: This is ridiculous, Nancy Pelosi supports lowering the voting age to 16.   Peter Strzok didn’t consider Hillary a target during the email investigation?    Chuck Ross’s incredible new piece in the Daily Caller exposes the role of this McCain staffer in the promotion of the dossier.   The real scandal is the FBI and the DOJ misleading the FISA courts. Here’s John Solomon’s latest piece.    Wait, what? The DOJ struck a deal blocking FBI access to Clinton Foundation emails.     This hate group, that has ruthlessly targeted conservatives, has some big problems to deal with.    Copyright Dan Bongino All Rights Reserved.

Hopefully, using some of my prior expertise in the Secret Service,

maybe help someone out there who's involved in securing these types of locations. Let's get to it, though. Today's show brought to you by our friends at Chamonix.

And tragically, it appears that now that over 40 people were killed by this maniac who actually filmed this thing and put it out there. Yeah. I mean, the horror of, of, of doing it and not only doing it, but filming it, seemingly celebrating your savagery is really hard to fathom for a lot of normal folks like us. But I've brought this up before. These houses of worship become targets of attack frequently because they presented a tactical advantage for these killers and these attackers, Joe. That tactical advantage, we've seen these in shootings in temples, in Christian churches and mosques, is folks, keep in mind, if you are a member of a church or you conduct security

in a church, you are a church leader, it's your responsibility to understand that these things can become targets, these locations, because everybody's attention is in a very specific direction, in a mosque, a temple, or a church. And that direction, Joe, who performs in a church often is straight ahead. That's not typically the case. I mean, even when you think about other places that have become targets, like schools, the door is typically at the front of the room. So if someone comes in, you can see them and there's a chance for you to respond, flee, escape, attack. I mean, I'm not suggesting these are great tactical options for you, but at least you're aware of what's happening. The problem with the church is there's an element

of surprise because everybody's attention is upfront. and it's kind of a similar dynamic to a movie theater where if you were to come in the back of a movie theater, everybody's attention is in one direction. And typically there's that fog of the attack where it takes people a couple of seconds to respond to what's happening. And the attention is all in one direction up front and people don't typically see the back door of the church because there's no warning. I only bring that up because again, it's your responsibility. I bring this up to anybody who will listen who is a responsible member of their church to have eyes on that back door always. Remember, in any kind of a worship service, what's going on is typically up front. Again, people's eyes are up front and the doors are almost always, almost always in the back.

Nobody enters the church from behind the altar. Nobody. It just doesn't happen. Only the priest does that. Right. All the attention is up front while the doors and the entrance to the location, if you were going to attack,

were going to be in the back. Now, this brings up just another thing I saw today on the Drudge Report. So obviously, the ingress and egress, how we call it in the Secret Service, the way you get in and out as an attacker matters, ingress and egress. That's always a big thing. How are you going to escape? Now, with homicide bombers who kill themselves, that doesn't matter because they don't really plan on any egress. They'll get in, but they have no intention of getting out. But still, there are some people who attack these

types of locations who have the intention of getting out. Ingress and egress is a big thing. We just covered that in houses of worship being a target. But secondly, is the ability to immobilize these types of attacks quickly matters. I bring that up because there's another story I saw at Drudge today about the attack on Maduro, the Venezuelan slob dictator, tyrant, murderous thug. But nonetheless, there was an attack on him months ago using drones, and it matters because this type of attack, as I wrote about in my book, Protecting the President, there's a story up at CNN World today about it. There you can see it. Paula has it up on the screen on YouTube for those of you who want to watch the video program, youtube.com slash Bongino. The headline says, Inside the Plot to Kill Maduro with Drones. Why do drones, as I wrote about in my book, again, Protecting the Present, I wrote at length about this,

why do they present an interesting security problem in the future? So we talked about the houses of worship first, drones now, because Joe, your ability to immobilize, render inefficient, or just kind of mute an attack that's not an attack at all, depends on your ability to make contact with it. So when I was a secret service agent at the White House, we would get, you'd get breaks a lot. They're called breaks on alarms, meaning somebody tripped an alarm on the White House grounds or something tripped an alarm, I should say. So you'd hear like, you know, break on whatever. I'll just make it 812.

And everybody would go into like, okay, hyperattentive mode. And typically, a uniformed division officer would walk out to that location, say it's on the south ground somewhere in a tree line. They'd look and, you know, 999 out of 100 times joe they'd come back over and you'd hear the uniformed division officer say uh clear wildlife meaning it was like a squirrel or or whatever something a dog or something like that a cat or whatever had tripped an alarm on the white house grounds you'd hear that all the time. Right. What's the problem with a drone, Joe? We can't fly. Right.

So there's no way, easy way at least, to mute, render safe, or make contact with a drone because human beings obviously can't fly. It presents a new and very difficult security challenge for security folks out there. very difficult security challenge for security folks out there. And the only way to defeat this challenge now is for technology itself to make contact with that machine. In other words, another drone to take it down, an electronic device that can jam the signal between the operator, if there even is an operator, or maybe lasers that can be be focused laser attacks on that drone which could fry its mechanics or microwaves or things like that and take it out of the sky but you're going to see new security challenges in the future as well with the drones um so again i i'm only bringing this up in the beginning of the show put out the lead first uh to give you some example of

how my prior line of work and some of the things I was taught, the thing I made up myself, may be able to help you all in the future. It's going to be interesting security challenges. Okay, moving on. I want to get to just some unbelievably damning information that keeps coming out about this whole Spygate thing, which is just, it's now coming out in droves, Joe. What started as a drip, drip, drip is turned into just a tidal wave of material and you know what's shocking too i've noticed on twitter that there's this i don't get it there's this uh the people on twitter who seem somewhat frustrated oh i'm

getting tired of this drip drip drip what are you getting tired of you don't want to know what i don't understand like they're upset did you notice that it's strange they're losing patience people are losing patience but what i don't just like this finally coming out like this is not the time to bail now exactly i get it like you can complain about the glacial pace in the past but oh i'm done with this i'm like you're what not talking about my show i mean people who still listen but it's like they were expecting this all to come out at the same time as if this deep state bureaucratic morass that was interested in hiding it didn't exist. So I want to get to that. Before I get to that, just quickly, if we can play this video of Nancy Pelosi. I just sent it to Joe a few minutes ago.

Again, you'll hear the audio of the video be on the YouTube channel, youtube.com slash Bongino. Please comment on our YouTube channel, the way we love it paula wants me to uh push your your feedback on it we love to read your comments on the youtube channel um but i just want to quickly get to this so i don't forget it this is nancy pelosi and the democrats far left lurch towards radicalism expressing her support for dropping the voting age to 16. Play that. I myself personally, I'm not speaking for my caucus. I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16. I think it's really important to capture kids when they're in high school, when they're interested in all of this, when they're learning about government to be able

to vote. That is that is not necessary you know in other words some of the priorities in this bill are that uh transparency and openness and accessibility and the rest uh that's a subject of debate but my view is that uh i would welcome that but i've been in that position oh okay listen I am not here, Joe. I mean this sincerely, folks. I'm not messing around. I am not here to attack 16-year-olds. My daughter's 15.

She's very bright. She had a lot of students in her class. I'm not going to name on the show, but my wife knows who they are, who were super bright. Some of them were smarter than some adults I know. But can we say as a general fair criticism of this nonsense that in general, at 16, your life experience just chronologically due to your time on the earth, 16 years, is probably not enough to have a deep enough understanding of the issues to understand the ramifications of what you're voting for. Joe, is that a fair criticism? I would agree with you there, Dan.

Now, and one of the ways that you can hammer that home to your friends who support this ridiculous outrageous proposal this is insane i mean what did i tell you about state-run revolutions they leapfrog each other with dumber and dumber proposals to show how pure they are right that's six that's over the voting age to ten oh man joe you know what we need right now we we need uh we need six minute abs We need six-minute abs from Something About Mary. Six-minute abs! What was this? Remember they said something about Mary, the guy that the serial killer gets in the car,

and he's talking to Ben Stiller. He's like, I got an idea. Six-minute abs! Seven-minute abs. Seven-minute abs. I screwed seven-minute abs. Oh, no, and then Ben Stiller's the one who comes back and says, well, you're going to beat seven-minute. Thanks for having that. You're going to beat seven-minute abs. And oh no, and then Ben Stiller's the one who comes back and says, well, you're going to beat

seven minute, thanks for having that. You're going to beat seven minute abs. He goes, well, why wouldn't someone just produce six minute abs?

And the serial killer looks and goes, don't be an idiot. You can't do abs in six minutes. This is the state run revolution. There you go. Six minute,

five minute abs, two minute abs. This is it. Lower the voting age to 12. How about 11? How about my daughter Amelia? She's inside watching My Little Pony. Me, me.

Man, come here. Come on in here. Let's vote on something. She is. I'm not even kidding. She's in the living room watching episodes of My Little Pony. Yeah, get her to vote. Paula, get her in here.

I want to see if she gets it. Get her on video. I'd love to see if she has the capacity to understand marginal tax rates. That would be great. Like, you understand how dumb this is? Yeah, sure. Who doesn't? 16 minutes.

16. that would be great like you understand how dumb this is yeah sure 16 minute 16 16 now here's one of the ways you knock this down because again people think in analogies narratives and stories and it's a little simpler

you should say to them well okay so think about this logically do you want to lower the drinking age to 16 and I can almost

guarantee you Joe 90 plus percent of people would say, no, alcohol is serious. Hey, come on in. Here's my daughter. Mimi, come here. Come on camera. Join me for this episode here. Can you explain, see, you're up on the screen. Can you explain to the audience how you feel about marginal tax rates? Are they good or bad? What do you think about them? are marginal tax rates good or bad you don't know okay thank you good girl folks proving my point there's my daughter

five-year-old amelia who i love thank you mimi you're the best she appears in our episode and if she she wants to watch starlight glimmer on my little pony right now because she's fine i love my daughter but she's getting into a deeper explanation with her about marginal tax rates is probably not good. I love her to death. She's my girl. She's cute, isn't she, folks? I keep saying that.

You know what? The five-minute abs... Forget it. Paula's like, she comes in, she's like, you just messed that part of the whole show up. I did. But leave it. Leave it at this.

My daughter. My daughter doesn't understand enough to vote. Okay. Right. Now, getting back to my argument there. My daughter's seven. Getting up to. Don't give them any ideas.

I know. Right. I know. Exactly. I had five minute abs in my head getting back to my story there if you don't want to lower the drinking age which upwards of 90 of people will not want to do of course right you'd say to yourself but you want kids to be able to vote 16 year old teenagers on lowering the drinking age to 16 so you get my analogy joe yeah you don't want to lower the

drinking age but you want to give 16 year olds the political power to be able to lower the drinking age to 16. Does that make any sense to you? Of course it doesn't make any sense. It's ridiculous. But again, it speaks to the seven-minute abs, state power, political revolution, where you constantly have to leapfrog each other for political oomph. You're not pure enough. You're not pure enough. It's just ridiculous. All right. I spent more time on that than I planned on, but it was important I got that out there because it proves my point.

The seven-minute abs political revolution is very real. We'll be at five-minute abs shortly. Seven. My wife creeped in there. She's like, I know. Five-minute abs. That was a mut mutley moment for me right there okay you're getting a kick out of the show today aren't you yeah i am as a matter of fact yeah keep isn't she cute though my daughter she's adorable isn't she she's literally watching my

little pony inside apple jacket starlight glimmer i can tell you like every single character princess celestia for my little pony and all all right getting back to the important stuff so uh john solomon from the hill who how many times i have to tell you this knows the whole story he appeared on the hannity show last night and uh he he created this little foil effect you know like a diamond on a black background where you create imagery that's really powerful because it creates a contrast. And he used this diamond on a black background analogy last night. It was super powerful. And what he said last night was powerful because it shows to you that justice in the country right now, the justice system is not blind. As we know it, it is, in fact, dead.

He brought up this great point. First, he talked about how, and he has in his piece, which I have up in the show notes, which is a must read. So please include it. Please include it in your daily reading of my show notes, Bongino.com. Subscribe to my email list. I'll send it to you. How, excuse me, new evidence is emerging that the Bureau, the FBI, in their use of Stefan Halper as a source. Stefan Halper was an intelligence asset who had made contact with two primary FBI targets in the case, Carter Page and George Papadopoulos. How some of these conversations between Page and Papadopoulos may have contained extensive information of, pay attention here. I'm going to talk about the foil in a minute, how powerful this analogy was. The innocence of these two people.

Folks, think about this. Here's a quote from the piece. This is from John Solomon's piece. This is a powerful quote. His reporting from more than two dozen sources, many with access to the FBI's evidence, suggests that one answer to the question lies in Halper, this is the intelligence asset, his interactions with the two Trump campaign advisors. Some of it documented, Joe,

in FBI records. Ooh. And interviews with both men reveal just how much they told Halper about what? Their innocence. Folks, think about how profound, deep, and destructive this is a point in the FBI and CIA, their intelligence, Brennan, I should say specifically, in their case against the Trump team.

Not only did they employ human, that's short for human intelligence, a human intelligence asset and helper to spy on the church. Spy, spy. I know liberals hate that word. That's why I use it even more. Capitalize it. Spy.

Paula, maybe we can, Paula, in the post-production here, can we put a big capital letters spy with an exclamation point up over my left shoulder there? That would be really awesome if we could do that. Spy. This guy was a spy, spot this guy was a spy okay he was a spy he was an intelligence asset with deep ties to the intelligence community who the government employed to gather assets and information on the trump campaign in other words a spy not only did they spy on them big weird hat spy you know what I'm talking about. Spy versus spy.

It drives him crazy. Yes. Yes. And remember, you know what? Was that a Mad Magazine thing? Yeah. It was, right? Yeah.

One had the black outfit. One had the white outfit. Yeah. Spy versus spy. Exactly. There you go. Look at that. He didn't have any post-production.

It's up there right now. Beautiful. She's quick. She's getting good like that. There you go. So not only do we have the fact that a huge scandal that a presidential campaign was spied on, but even worse, Joe, the spy, big caps, you see it up there? Actually up there the other way.

Everything's in reverse on my monitor up there. You see it now that not only they spy on them, but prong number two, when the spy made contact with the Trump campaign, scandalous enough, the information he got was that they were entirely innocent of the charges they were being spied on for. Do you get this? Do you get what I'm saying? This is not a—listen, this case can get complicated. I know, because we're like knee-deep in book two right now. This is get complicated. I know because we're like knee deep in book two right now. This is not complicated.

Prong number one, the United States government spied on a political campaign. Very simple. Prong number two, even worse, they continued the investigation despite the fact that multiple sources are telling people, notably John Solomon and the Hill. Please read this piece of the show notes. Go to Bongino.com and click on the show notes attached to the podcast. It's under the podcast on the menu function. Just click menu podcast and right there.

Not only that, the sources are telling Solomon that the evidence was that they were innocent, that they had no contacts with Russian officials exchanging information about the campaign and Hillary's emails. Folks, this is devastating. Now, getting back to my original point. I'm sorry, but I had to set it up because it's critical,

setting up the foil, the diamond on the black background. He says last night on Hannity, you know what's really amazing about this is the FBI pursues this investigation against Donald Trump, Joe's continues to spy on them, hammers them with the most powerful law enforcement agencies in the country and intelligence agencies, despite evidence that all of this is who we it's garbage. It's made up. It's a fabrication. It's a myth. It's a fable. It's a fairy tale. But they continue it. And yet he goes on and contrasts it with the Washington Examiner story in the breaking news yesterday. Peter Stroke's testimony has now come out. His thanks to Doug Collins, GOP representative up on Capitol Hill, who put out Peter Stroke's testimony. And the Washington Examiner covered this yesterday. And what's fascinating about this, Joe, is the FBI had strong evidence of Hillary Clinton's guilt in the classified

information being exchanged over a private email server scandal. And they ran from the case. Here is a devastating quote from this Washington Examiner piece. Fired FBI agent Peter Stroke told Congress last year that the agency, unbelievably, did not have access to Clinton Foundation emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server because of a consent agreement, quote, negotiated between the Department of Justice attorneys and the counsel for the Clintons. So let me get this straight. Excellent, excellent point by Solomon. Yes, this is hard to believe. It is. So you spy on the trump team you you you you you use uh spit it out then you go to the pfizer court to get warrants on the trump team you are using the two hop rule do those pfizer warrants to

use a massive surveillance drag net to gather all the information emails phone calls you're using human intelligence signals intelligence international spy partners, despite no evidence, not only no evidence of what you're saying, this collusion thing is true, but evidence that it's not true. And yet with the Hillary email campaign, email scandal,

you have mounds of evidence that her entire team engaged in a conspiracy to hide the laundering of classified information over, you know, I'll wipe the C off the information. Wow. And it's just that I don't know what the C meant. Classified? You're the Secretary of State.

Despite mounds of information, Hillary's lawyers were allowed to negotiate an agreement where they weren't even looking at the Clinton Foundation servers? looking at the Clinton Foundation servers? Stated simply before I move on. Trump was investigated despite evidence of his innocence. Hillary was not properly investigated despite evidence of her guilt. You know, on the panels on Hannity, which I like a lot because there's a lot of good back and forth, but you have to be quick because the show's only an hour long. Yeah.

Probably 40-something minutes with commercials. You know this with radio, Joe, but your segments are short sometimes. You have to be quick. I always say, if you're ever going to run for office, learn how to speak in soundbites and snapshots. Take good photos on your campaign and learn how to speak in soundbite. It's not being a jerk. It's just the press is going to, they're going to publish a soundbite. They're not going to publish your manifesto, okay? The press is going to, they're going to publish a sound. They're not going to publish your manifesto. Okay.

Just make it quick and snappy. Solomon has a way on his appearances of just hammering at home in a soundbite. That's just terrific. It just is. And he said it last night perfectly. So Trump's investigated despite evidence. He's actually not guilty. Hillary's not properly investigated despite mounds of evidence that she's actually guilty. You have nothing to see here.

Nothing to see here, folks, at all. All right, moving on. Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller, another guy doing tremendous work on the whole Spygate drama, has another piece. Again, the show notes today are really, really good. Please read them. He has a piece out about the involvement

which we cover in detail. I haven't talked about my book in a while, my first book on this. And I don't want to hammer you guys to death with, hey, please pick this up and that up. I'm not here to drive you all crazy. But please, if you haven't read my book on this, Spygate, that's out now on Amazon. We're working on the sequel. Please read it. Spygate the sequel will make a lot of sense, more sense, if you understand the detail in

Spygate 1, let's say. So please pick up my book, Spy Gate, with Denise McAllister and Matt Palumbo. We did a lot of good work on it. And one of the things we cover extensively in that book is the involvement of very specific Republicans in the promotion of the dossier. Now, notably the McCain team, and what later on we found out to maybe representative adam kinzinger as well there's a reason now that we're discovering the motive behind people here's the report paul put up on the screen here by chuck ross again it's because john mccain associate had contact with a dozen reporters regarding steel do a dossier that's the headline now why was this important

because joe now david kramer who was an associate of John McCain, a staffer, knows John McCain very well, obviously since past, God rest his soul. But John McCain, staffer of Kramer, Kramer's deposition he gave in a London court with regards to a lawsuit his name came up in, that was considered, that was private before. Though his deposition and his words are now public. So there's been some extensive analysis done on that by Jeff Carlson at the market's work. I saw Brian Cates, who runs a Twitter account, had some pretty good analysis. Again, me and Brian tend to agree, disagree a little bit

on Rosenstein and stuff, but that's fine. I'm not a podcast tyrant you know who you know you got to shut down anybody who did i'm glad there are different analyses out there of what's going on i am i mean it i'm glad there are differing opinions sooner or later one of us will be right one of us will be wrong is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a different approach but now that kramer's deposition is out there, there are a lot of just nuggets in there that are just precious. So now we find out that it's highly likely that Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, and the Fusion GPS crew were pushing this information not only through the State Department. Remember what I talk about the flood the zone strategy? Flood the zone is a football analogy where you just send a bunch of

receivers downfield you flood the zone with so many receivers who can catch the ball because you're hoping to flood the zone and overwhelm the defense right all right the flood the zone strategy by the propagandist behind the whole steel dossier nonsense and the collusion hoax was to send the information remember it's the same information, Joe. Fusion GPS and Steele. It's the movie script, which I'll get to in a second, too. Send it to so many different people that when it winds up in the FBI's hands from all these different people, that it looks real because 20, 30 different people, whatever it may be, gave it to them.

You know, I can't say this enough. If someone told me Joe Armacost robbed a bank, seriously, I'd laugh. I mean it. I'd laugh. I'd be like, yeah, okay, sure. Joe robbed. Right, right. Makes a lot of sense, right?

If two people tell me, I'd still laugh. If five people tell me, I'd be like, it's not the Joe I know, but is there something to this? All of a sudden, 20 different people show up. Hey, man, that guy you're working with robbed a bank last week. Really? All of a sudden, I'd have to start to take it seriously, despite the fact that poor Joe. I know Joe wouldn't rob the bank last week. Really? All of a sudden, I'd have to start to take it seriously despite the fact that, poor Joe,

I know Joe wouldn't rob a bank. But the same strategy, that was the flood the zone strategy with the dossier, the collusion allegations. If you could get it into Weiner in the State Department, Victoria Newland in the State Department, Bruce Ohr in Justice,

Bianca, his handler in the FBI, Andy McCabe, Peter Stroke, Lisa Page. If you could get this information into enough hands that slowly wound up into the FBI, it would look more credible. And what better way to do it than to give it to a Republican? Now, I believe McCain was targeted,

targeted, McCain's team was targeted, as a vehicle to get this dossier information into the hands of the FBI for two reasons. Reason number one is important. McCain and Trump, listen, it's obvious, we're not speaking ill of the dead, they just did not like each other. Trump wasn't a fan of McCain. McCain was not a fan of Trump. None of this is a mystery. So reason one is, you know, hello, Captain Obvious. They just didn't like each other.

So obviously, if you're going to attack Joe Armacost as being a bank robber when he is not, you're not going to give it to, you know, Joe's kid because Joe's kid's going to laugh, or me because we're going to go, this is just dumb. You're going to give it to someone who doesn't like Joe, you know? You're going to give it to whatever, doesn't like Joe. You know? You're going to give it to whatever, some guy he worked with down the road and Joe got promoted and he just doesn't like it. He's bitter. And Joe, they'll pass it on somewhere.

So they gave it to McCain, but reason number two is very important. Paula, sorry to jump around, but this is important. Can you put up that nation, the nation piece, the headline from that? A hat tip to one of my great sources on this who's been doing tremendous work look at this piece folks we can keep this up for a second paul oh isn't this great now if you

can see it on the youtube channel don't worry it's perfect on audio too i'm not neglecting my audio audience on the audio paula has a screenshot up of a headline the date before I'm even going to read the deadline. I want to read the date. October 1st, 2008, nearly one month before a critical day. Keep that up, Paul. November 4th, 2008. What was November 4th, 2008, Joe? Election Day. Yeah, baby. John McCain, Barack Obama, Election Day. Now now nearly a month before here's the headline from the nation McCain's Kremlin ties McCain's Kremlin ties what do you mean not Trump's Kremlin

ties no no McCain's Kremlin ties he may talk tough about Russia but John McCain's political advisors have advanced Putin's imperial ambitions have advanced Putin's imperial ambitions. Great. That was a great show. I like that.

Folks, McCain had been targeted by the exact same Russian collusion smears. Oh! McCain understood the damage this would do. At least his staff did. McCain's staff had been targeted by the exact same thing. They must have understood the effectiveness of this Russian smear because it happened to them. Now, I've already included in prior shows. That's not the only article out there.

John Solomon's Circa piece, same John Solomon, folks, I'm telling you. John Solomon's Circa piece, same John Solomon, folks, I'm telling you, and there's a Washington Post piece by Solomon as well and others where he talks about this targeting of McCain in the past. Paula, can you put that up one more time? Notice who's in that headline, the piece. There's two figures seated at the table. Who are the figures in this Nation piece?

McCain, McCain's Kremlin ties. Vladimir Putin, and who's that guy Putin's looking at? Oleg Deripaska! Yes, Oleg Deripaska! The key figure who appears in the 2007 Glenn Simpson movie script piece where he lays out the exact same plot.

The Russians attempt to influence US politics. Folks, they leaked to Kramer and the McCain staff because they didn't like Trump and they understood that McCain and his team understood the damage this would do. Now, from Chuck Ross's piece, here's a quote from Chuck Ross's piece. Kramer, in his deposition, said he believed McCain was sought out in order to provide more oomph in terms of attracting the FBI's attention. Keep that up for a second. What do we mean by that?

That oomph, Joe, is in the flood the zone strategy. You don't want all of the information coming from Democrats because then it looks what? Partisan, obviously. Right. It's not a trick. If it's always all the information is coming from the Dems, looks really bad like wow that's really partisan so to provide more quote oomph as kramer indicates he believes they gave the information to him and his crew the republicans because if republicans passed it to the fbi which mccain's team did it would look like wow this is really legitimate

armacost must have really robbed that bank even allies of joe armacost are talking. In other words, it must have looked like Trump really colluded with the Russians because even the Republicans are saying it. The quote goes on. I think they felt the senior Republican was better to be a recipient of this rather than a Democrat because if it were a Democrat, I think that the view was that it would have been dismissed as a political attack, said Kramer. Folks, do you understand how devastating this is?

How this whole, I get the impatience of the glacial pace of this investigation, but I want you to somewhat smile a little bit because as I tweeted out yesterday, the greatest irony of this whole thing is the Democrats have brought this on themselves. The entire Spygate operation was exposed because of Democrat requests that the inspector general, the internal affairs department for the federal government,

investigate the FBI's actions in the Hillary email case. Remember that? Remember long ago when it was the Democrats who said the FBI was stealing the election for Mrs. Clinton by investigating her email case. Gee, that looks like a real hoot right now. It was the Dems themselves who asked for that. It was during that investigation that the inspector general got the texts that exposed this whole thing from Stroke and Page. Here's the even bigger irony. The post-election hantavirus-like fever on the Democrat media side to tie Trump to a collusion fairy tale

that doesn't exist has engendered a new breed of investigative reporters. Ross, Carlson, Cates, these other guys out there doing all this work that have deeply looked into this and have uncovered this entire plot because the Democrats wouldn't let it go. Not us. We're not

the, you get what I'm saying, Joe? It's not us. We understood this thing was a hoax from the start. If the Democrats just wouldn't let it go, be like, Hey, Trump won. We kind of got busted there, you know, with the dossiers, the hoax. This thing's all crap, right? Joe, am I kidding? Like, this is me. No, no, we're good. You drop the, what do the kids say?

Just take the L. Just take the loss. You know, sometimes you're in a jujitsu ground fighting match with a guy who's like a blue belt and you're a purple belt and he's just bigger and stronger. And you're just like, gosh, I don't want to tap to this lower belt guy and look bad. You're just finished. I'm sorry. It's happened to me a few times.

You have a bad day where you get some monster in there who's like a freakish athlete, and he's like choking the wind out of you, and you're like, I can't tap. I can't. And you're like, okay, I'm going to die if I don't tap. Here you go. Tap out. You got this one, brother.

Live to fight another day. The Dems just wouldn't tap out. collusion is real and their media butt kissers surgically attaching their lips to their cabooses oh yes keep our cnn endlessly brian stelter in this car endlessly promoting a collusion hoax that didn't exist and the irony of it is your promotion of this hoax has exposed who? Not Trump, but all of this, the Democrats. The Democrats' collusion with Fusion. The Democrats' collusion with Republican staffers to pin it on the Trump team who were enemies of the Trump team. It is that that has got these investigative reporters out there digging it up.

Thank you, Democrats. Hold on. Quick, with my bad elbows surgically repaired. Look at that. Right arm. Doing Thank you, Democrats. Hold on. Quick, with my bad elbows, surgically repaired. Look at that. Right arm. Doing a little better today. No blood. Hey, look at that. Hey, good deal. Surgically repaired now, right and left arm. Thank you, Democrats, for exposing all of this nonsense. Hey, this gets better. Don't go anywhere. So from the Daily Caller piece as well, another quote. So this is where this gets really, really great. Paula highlighted a little word for me at the end. So Kramer, in the deposition, this is the McCain staffer,

said Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS informed him about BuzzFeed's publication of the dossier. Remember, BuzzFeed's the first one to publish the whole dossier. He said he immediately called Benzinger to request the report be taken down. The first words out of my mouth are, you're going to get people killed, said Kramer. This is where it gets fascinating. Now, Kramer also said that he spoke to Steele, Christopher Steele, hours after BuzzFeed published the dossier, and that the former spy was, quote, shocked. The longtime McCain associate also said he lied to Steele about providing the dossier to Benzinger. Now, folks, why would he be, quote, shocked Christopher Steele about the publication of the dossier?

And why would Kramer, looking to hurt Trump, want BuzzFeed to take it down? Think this through, think this through, think this through. If the dossier is a series of lurid disgusting uh notably false allegations against trump but they're using it to prosecute him through the media and to spy on him through halper the agency and open up a case in the fbi an investigation then joe why would they not want the whole thing out there i mean wouldn't it publicly humiliate and embarrass trump and buzz feed i mean think about it right if i'm looking to prosecute and embarrass Joe about the bank robbery allegations, why would I not want the media to run with it, right? That's right, yeah. No, no, no, no, no.

No, no? Okay. No, not at all. Their strategy, Joe, is becoming clear now through Kramer and his multiple contacts with the media, which Jeff Carlson lists out on his Twitter account. I think he's at the market's work. Very good. Washington Post, BuzzFeed, Yahoo, and others. Their strategy was to drip, drip, drip, drip,

drip this thing out, but never leak the entire thing. Now, why would you not want the entire thing leaked? Because it was fake. It was fake. Notably notably a lot of media figures were upset that the entire dossier was let me give you let me give you an analogy maybe this will make sense because i can i'm going to explain this all day but again stories always work better if i leaked this document about joe robin a bank right and one of the allegations is he was at the bank at

this particular time. He's carrying a weapon. It's on camera. You may think, wow, well, there's a lot of evidence there that Joe may have robbed that bank. But let's say some of the more ridiculous allegations in the thing that are said to get people's attention, Joe, but I know aren't true, that the report against Joe says,

and the motivation for Joe to rob the bank was he was told by Gozer the Gozerian. Oh, we'll get to Gozer in a minute for those who watched me on Hannity Lessor. Gozer, Joe knows who Gozer the Gozerian is. But Gozer the Gozerian, a space demon, told Joe to rob the bank and Gozer is there. We have evidence Gozer told him.

Joe, if you read that in a news outlet, BuzzFeed or otherwise, wouldn't you laugh and say okay you know i was believing joe may have robbed the bank for a minute even though it's contrary to joe's morals and ethics but now that you're telling me gozer the gozerian told joe to do it now i know this is probably be it discredits the source correct joe correct you're like okay buzzfeed are idiots and whoever wrote gozer the gozerian and joe's conspiracy to rob a bank is clearly a bigger more on the buzzfeed the document the dossier in its entirety or what we think was its entirety hint hint based on the numbering system you know who someone gave that pretty good work by the way we'll get to that

another time but what we believe was the entirety of the dossier was so nonsensical that kramer make the mccain staffer christopher steel the guy whose name is on the dossier but i don't believe wrote the whole thing they were actually upset joe because they wanted to drip drip drip some of the more what they thought to be credible allegations out there let the media run with the stories. Let the FBI take the whole dossier and them conduct a criminal investigation. But don't discredit and embarrass the entire document. Gotcha.

Gotcha. Mm-hmm. Does that make sense now? That's why they're so upset. Yes. A lot of sense. And Kramer's calling up Benzinger from BuzzFeed saying, you got to take this down. Because they don't want the whole thing out there because the whole thing is embarrassing.

It's the Gozer, the Gozerian dossier. That's what it is. The Gozerian dossier. We haven't even, you saw Ghostbusters, you know Gozer. All right, let me get to this real quick because I want to just wrap this up and get to a couple more stories. There's a lot of busy news week.

Apple, Ford, Sprint, claim your free stock today. bongino.robinhood.com. is a brewing controversy about should the muller report uh become public the house voted on it unanimously to make the uh muller report public um i think this is a huge mistake ladies and gentlemen um i said to my wife the other day that one of the points that's frequently missed by a lot of commentators on this case i don't mean this is a you know take a cheap shot at anybody but it's just true is how this ties to the Mueller thing will become clear in a second. During my history as a police officer and a federal agent, there are tons of investigations, innumerable investigations that are started that turn out to be fruitless.

I can't give names, obviously, but I remember one specific case where I was actually sitting in a proffer session. That's where the investigator, the government lawyer, what we call an AUSA, an assistant United States attorney, the alleged bad guy and their lawyer are sitting in a room. And in that proffer session, the general deal, Joe, is in a proffer, let's say we arrest you for something or we're going to prosecute for something. Whatever you say in that proffer will not be used against you. But here's the catch. You can't lie. So if you're in there for robbing a bank

and you lie about where you were on the day, that deal goes out the window. Then we can use it against you and show you're a liar. But if you speak the truth, the generally understood proffer, we used to call them king for a day deals. You're the king for that. You can say whatever you want.

We're not going to use it against you in the proceeding. Okay, I You can say whatever you want. We're not going to use it against you in the proceeding. Okay, I did it. I did this. We're not going to use that against you. So proffers are used. They're used often. But one of the reasons in an investigation, I bring that up because during an investigation,

I was in a proffer one day. Sorry. I actually did lose my place on that one. But I was in a proffer one day and we had a case. We put it this way. We had the wrong guy. Now he turned out later to be the right guy on something different, but we had to charge him with something different,

but it was the wrong guy. And we were like, okay. And you want to talk about having to lift and shift like audible run play, not a pass. It's weird. Now I say that because investigations happen all the time where you investigate someone and it's a similar name it's a different person it's a family member that looks alike um or the person just didn't commit a crime and it was a mistake and you can't prove motive where motive is a component of the

crime motive is not always a component of the crime you pass counterfeit that mode whether you intended to pass the counterfeit or not um is not a component of the crime it's kind of interesting in the hillary clinton case because her motives are relevant gross negligence is all the requirement for her to be prosecuted for classified information um and that's for a reason because then if motive was a part of say passing counterfeit money or shuttling and classified information, then what would everybody claim their innocence on, Joe? I didn't mean to do it. Hell yeah. I didn't know.

That would be everybody's defense. So an element of the crime, passing counterfeit and passing counterfeit or classified information, is not your intent. Gross negligence is enough. But a lot of crimes do have a motive component. Sometimes the motive just isn't wrong. My point in this whole thing is that many investigations start all the time at the federal, state, and local level that go absolutely nowhere, Joe.

Innocent people are looped into it. Sometimes co-conspirators in the crime try to take down other people who had nothing to do with it just to get out of it. Hey, I'll give you this guy if you let me off. Well, the guy didn't do anything. Folks, because of that there's a generally understood policy in the department of justice and elsewhere that you don't release uh information regarding an investigation publicly um until the

case goes to trial and potentially at the end after a press release if someone's convicted why because if someone's innocent you don't want to drag their name through the mud this is not is any of that hard to understand, Joe? You always mess with Joe. You were not a federal agent, right, Joe? I am not a federal agent. He's experienced and sound engineer and producer. But does that make sense to you?

Obviously, you don't drag people's names through the mud in an investigative piece of paperwork if you can't prove they were guilty of anything. Of course not. Oh, thank you. So this thing about the Mueller folkser folks i am not interested in hiding anything i want a declassification of stuff at this point to find out why the fbi committed malfeasance but releasing a muller investigative report to double down on people that may have been entirely innocent of any crime is absurd i'm sorry it's ridiculous

they may have come up empty well but let me get back to my original point here too one of the problems i have with some of the commentariat on this is investigations this is where i was going with this before the muller point so two things you don't investigations turn up empty often so you don't release a report about people who could potentially be innocent drag their names through the mud you You just don't do it. I'm sorry. That's not how we work in a constitutional republic where innocence is presumed. But secondly, these investigations frequently turn up empty-handed. One of the problems I have with the FBI case

is that they started the investigation based on faulty information. But that isn't even the biggest problem, Joe. The FBI would have had an excuse. Not a good one. Let me be clear, okay? Because I know I get a thousand emails. Not a good excuse. But at least some form of a defensible excuse, Joe. If they would have said after opening Crossfire Hurricane,

say after a month of investigating, hey, fellas, this information is crap okay we thought we were getting it from steel we had worked from him before some of this information is clearly not from steel we have this glenn simpson guy who's a paid political operative meeting with bruce or at doj this whole thing is corrupted steel's telling people he hates trump. Simpson obviously doesn't like Trump. Brewer's wife is working for Fusion. This is tainted information. This investigation needs to be shut down.

Again, not a good excuse, but it would have been legitimate. And say the FBI, right after opening Crossfire Hurricane, shuts it down and says, this is bad. We got roped into this. Let's just come clean. Okay. The problem I have with the case is that's not what happened the bureau started a bad investigation on faulty information and an affiant swore to it

four times a fisa a renewal another renewal and another renewal, and another renewal. Somebody walked in front of a judge, put up his right hand, and I'm pretty confident I know who it is, and said, this information we got is true and is verified, and we verified it according to the Woods procedure. This is what a lot of the people are missing on this it's not that the fbi started a bad investigation yes that's bad enough bad investigations are started all the time it's not criminal to start a bad investigation it is criminal to swear to the information you know is bad four times by the way that's one of the reasons for some of the people who have been getting questions,

because I know, again, that some people have a different analysis on the role of Rod Rosenstein. There are some people who think Rosenstein is a white hat. I disagree strongly. I respect your opinion. I'm not interested in any kind of nasty back and forth. I just don't buy it. Rosenstein signed the fourth FISA after people clearly knew within the chain of command that the DOJ and the

FBI that this information was junk. They had to. The only explanation is that Rod Rosenstein is either the dumbest human being on the planet, which he's not, or he was not, wasn't misfeasance, it was malfeasance. He knew he was swearing off to a, or signing off on a bogus FISA application. swearing off to a or signing off on a bogus FISA application. That's why I don't buy the Rosenstein's a good guy thing. And he hired Mueller, who clearly targeted Trump. You have to believe Trump's an idiot to believe Mueller and Rosenstein are working hand in hand. You know, there's all Mueller's going to say Trump wasn't guilty.

Well, that's because he wasn't. That's not like a mystery. Mueller can't fabricate charges of collusion, excuse me, proof of collusion and charges that doesn't exist. That's not Mueller working on Trump's behalf. That's just Mueller being locked in by the evidence he doesn't have. Mueller has done ruthless things to attack Trump. And Trump has attacked

him on Twitter. You think Trump doesn't know what's going on? He's just like, it's a dipsy-do flip-a-roo. He's attacking Mueller, but he really believes Mueller's a good guy. No, Trump's not stupid. I know this. Got me? Yeah. All right.

Okay. Getting back to our friend, Gozerian, who's not our friend. He turned into Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, tried to destroy downtown Manhattan. So last night I was on with Hannity and I was asked to comment about one of my favorite topics, which is Beto. When I had my old NRA TV show, we used to talk about Beto a lot. Yeah. Hey, can I mention this quickly about NRA?

Paula, you know, I said I'd never do this. She's like, don't even talk about it, but I'm going to do it anyway. Can I just do a quick thing on fake news? Because this is actually tie into goes in the area. All right. You all are really wondering where goes is going right now, aren't you? Yes.

So this goes to show you, if you ever want to run for office or you get a public profile, you know, we complain about fake news a lot, but, and there's a number of examples we could show to prove fake news, but I want to show you how exactly it works. This is going to be quick.

I promise you. And how it can, and it's only happens to conservatives. This never happens to liberals, by the way. So Joe knows just about everything about my professional life because he's been involved with me forever.

Joe's my first, what, employee, co-worker. The co-worker's probably a more appropriate term. You don't work for me, you work with me. But Joe knows

this whole story. So I had a show at NRA TV called We Stand. A lot of you watched it. I appreciated the feedback. I left NRA TV. It was nothing personal against them. I appreciated the feedback. I left NRA TV. It was nothing personal against them. They were great people.

I enjoyed working with them. But I left and I wound up signing with Fox News as a contributor. None of this is mysterious. NRA TV put out a press release saying, hey, we did everything we could to retain Dan. We appreciate it. It was great working with him. So they put out a press release. So this New York Times reporter, Danny Hockham uh writes a piece the other day of course taking a shot at nra tv a

disingenuous shot you know a politically tainted piece and it's kind of hysterical so i i you know i get a kick out of this he writes in his piece um that i was i was released or something from nra tv due to budget constraints folks that's just factually incorrect. It's just not true. Joe, was I fired from NRA TV? Oh, no. Well, you're willing now. Keep in mind, Joe, Joe's credibility matters to him. So does mine.

You're willing because you know the story. You are willing to go to the grave with that story, correct? Because it's true. The whole truth, nothing but the truth. So help me. Of course it is. There you go. I was not let go.

They offered a very nice contract. I'm not obviously getting into the financial terms, but a very nice contract for me to stay. I chose a different path. It wasn't personal. I just went with Fox instead. I signed with Fox News. I loved doing the show over there.

It was great. Yet to this day, people still quote this ridiculous daily beast piece that i was let go where the reporter who wrote the piece actually texted me here's the exact thing he texted me the guy who wrote the piece of the daily beast he said i heard you didn't renew with nra tv yes correct and then he goes and writes a piece insinuating i was fired whatever the only reason i bring it up is the way fake news works is the daily beast then writes that piece with the insinuation. I was like, oh, lefties then go to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia, which is a total scam site. If you ever tweet me or email me anything from Wikipedia, it's an Insta block. It is a scam site. Nothing on that Wikipedia. Nothing on there is politically free of bias. Nothing. Nothing. So someone goes to Wikipedia, edits my page, and he was let go from NRA TV. is politically free of bias. Nothing. Nothing.

So someone goes to Wikipedia, edits my page, and he was let go from NRA TV. I was not let go. That is, NRA TV put out an actual press release. So it's funny because one of the guys then tells me, oh, well, someone from the NRA said that then, that you may have been let go. Well, I don't work for the NRA.

I worked for NRA TV. They're different entities. Right. So let me get this straight. You don't go from the press release from the person I worked for. You go from an anonymous source to another entity. It was just bizarre. And this is how fake news works. People still to this day, idiot liberals, not even remotely embarrassed by their stupidity,

will tweet to me, ma'am, you got fired by NRA TV? Okay, whatevs, ma'am. Now, how does this tie to Beto? So I was on last night. Sorry, I didn't mean to get off on that kind of rant, but I'm just warning you. You will be frustrated to death

because the liberals are in no... I would be embarrassed going on the air. I'd be afraid of being sued saying, you know brian stelter's been fired by cnn he hasn't he still works there i really i'd be embarrassed to be like bonjito's got no credibility he's lying about stelter i would never do that but yet people to this day still insist on promoting this story that i was it's completely 100 factually incorrect there's that and yet they still do it so i was asked to

come on hannity last night talk about beto and i you know i i love talking about beto because beto um is gozer the gozerian in the media man now paul if you could put up a picture you remember this character there's there's gozer the gozerian uh from ghostbusters the original ghost by not the awful sequel or the even worse uh remake of the of the thing done recently but i saw ghostbusters with a tenant who used to live in this apartment we lived in this guy alan years ago when i was a kid and at the end this spiritual demon gozer the gozerian comes comes out. Are you a god? No. Then you'll die. Remember Gozer the Gozerian? And Gozer asks Venkman

and the Ghostbusters crew, pick the means of your own destruction, right? So in other words, whatever they think of, then that's what Gozer is going to become, Gozer the Gozerian, right? Beto's Gozer the Gozerian. The media, what has Gozer become? The Stay Pump Marshmallow Man,

which proceeds to try to destroy downtown Manhattan. Remember, nobody thought of anything, right? And all of a sudden you hear, dog, dog, dog.

They're like, who thought of something? And you see, who was it? Ray, was it Ray? I forget, was it Ray?

It was the Dan Aykroyd character, right? So the Dan Aykroyd character, right? He's like, I can't help it. I thought of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. And then you see,

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. That goes there. So Beto's, Gozer, and Stay Puft. The point is, the way the media treats me and conservatives, Hannity, Levin, everyone, where they lie about us endlessly, lie, I mean, openly, easily refutable lies,

is never the way they will treat beto they leave beto like the tabula rasa the blank slate why because they want you like the dan akroyd character to project onto beto what you think he is folks it's a serious point again i'm using a little comedy and sarcasm because it's friday and the show opened on obviously a very serious somber note because of the tragedy out there. But I want to leave you on a Friday in a really bad mood. This is what they do. They leave Beto a blank slate. They never nail him down on specifics on almost anything.

So they let you project onto Beto what you think Beto really is. But when it comes to Donald Trump, me, anyone else out there would even, I mean, I have nothing, not even a scintilla of a profile compared to Trump, but with Donald Trump, Joe, everything he does is defined for you. Yeah. Let me give you a quick example. Okay. Donald Trump on Cinco de Mayo is eating a taco bowl. Oh, what a racist, right? Remember that story, Joe? He's got to be, he's eating a taco bowl oh what a racist right remember that story joe he's gotta be he's eating a taco i eat taco balls on cinco de mayo my wife is a spanish that make me a racist are you kidding like how i had a margarita on single tomorrow you're a racist cultural appropriator meanwhile beto who has a hispanic nickname fine i don't care his nickname is beto it doesn't bother me at all right that's like cool

and edgy beto's white he's not hispanic folks i don't care i'm not an identity politics guy i don't i know a lot i had a white friend my friend carl gandalfo a good friend of mine used to call him carlos and it's a long story because he came in one time i was watching that movie the last starfighter and the license plate said rylos and he walked in without me seeing him like rylos and he goes carlos and that was it i called him carlos from that point on he wasn't appropriating anything he just walked in while i was watching a movie called the last starfighter i don't care about beto's last name but if trump was to call himself uh you know trump what's his uh donald john donald wan trump instead like i'm gonna i'm gonna

use my nickname as one instead of oh my god people go crazy he's a cultural approach what a racist you see my point sure how democrats like beto is he's gozer the gozerian he turns into whatever you want to stay puff marshmallow man a local kitten a a puppy. It doesn't matter. Beto is Gozer. And it's the media that does that because they leave him a blank slate. Everything is painted in flowery. He's a rock star. He's a sensation. I got to thrill up my leg.

I peed down my leg when I saw Beto. I was so excited. How many times Google the word rock star and Beto and then Google the word rock star and Trump? Everything. Trump. Everything. Trump, remember Trump? Trump gets two scoops of ice cream. Oh my gosh! Two scoops of ice cream. What a head.

What an awful good Trump. How greedy. Meanwhile, when Beto gets two scoops of ice cream, how cool Beto. He loves ice cream. He's Gozer the Gozerian. There we go. Up on the screen again. I can see it out of the corner of my eye. There's Beto. Gozer the Gozerian. Paula, this. Up on the screen again. I can see it out of the corner of my eye.

There's Beto, Gozer the Gozerian. Paula, this would have been a great time for your new split screen. Paula's like learning this. She's so smart. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. She figures it out. We got a split screen, Beto and Gozer the Gozerian. And it's not even Beto's fault.

I'm not even blaming Beto. It's the media. Everybody on the left is a blank slate. Everybody on the right is to be defined as a racist, xenophobe, misogynist, whatever. Just disgusting. Wow. Now that was a show today. Yes, sir. I slept a lot last night. I feel pretty good. And I'm starting to heal up finally, folks. So thank you for all your kind emails about my... I promise I'm okay.
