It's just the police state tyranny we've seemingly all been subjected to
and some have accepted overnight is just grotesque.
Let's get right to it, a loaded show.

All right, let's go. Ding, ding, ding.
I'm giving my own bell
in the absence of producer Joe's special bell.
Let me get to this first
because this is just disgusting, disturbing,
and I'm having a difficult time digesting
how overnight the Bill of Rights
seems to be forfeited in the Constitution.
Lawmakers who swore, by the way,
to uphold the Constitution
appear to believe that the Constitution
was a suggestion.
It is. The Constitution Constitution was a suggestion. It isn't.
The Constitution is not a suggestion.
The Constitution is not optional.
And I'm unsure where lawmakers read in the Bill of Rights, specifically the First Amendment,
which specifically prohibits the establishment of any kind of state religion, prohibits any laws.
of any kind of state religion prohibits any laws.
Congress shall establish no laws, no laws,
interfering with peaceful assembly, the freedom of speech,
and the freedom of the press.
I'm unsure where these state lawmakers miss that.
What do you think?
Because you're in the states, you're not subjected to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
Is that what's going on?
Quick example, as you can see
playing in the background, this video here.
I'll describe it to our audio listeners. There was a tattoo
parlor owner, North Carolina,
goes by the name of Jax,
who was arrested for merely the act of
opening the door to his business. This is
just gross in Apex, North Carolina.
We're going to try to get Jax on the
phone. We'll include the interview
in tomorrow's show.
I mean, what's going on?
What is this, Cuba?
Are we in the...
Is this the Soviet Union?
Did I miss something?
Congress shall establish no law
interfering with people,
American citizens' right to peaceful assembly,
the freedom of the press, to practice their religion.
Did you miss all this?
What is the governing bodies in Apex, North Carolina,
and police supervisors and charges?
What are you doing?
Again, I've had the back of our police officers
before many of you have even been alive on the left. I was one. But what are you doing? Where are the police unions here? I have a story today in the New York Post that the show notes. De Blasio, the communist mayor of New York City, is releasing criminals back onto the street. I'll have you know, by the way, that roughly 50% of the crime, do you know this?
The majority of the crime, 50% or more is committed by between 5% and 10% of the population.
So a small number of people are committing most of the crimes, yet we're releasing those
people back onto the streets, communist mayor of New York, de Blasio, while we're arresting
innocent American citizens
for practicing what?
Their right to show up
at their own business?
We're losing it, folks.
We're losing it.
I'm not going to let it happen.
I don't, listen,
I got tattoos.
Sorry, wrong arm.
This tattoo,
well, I do have one on this arm too
actually up there i got tattoos all over the place honestly i got a really bad one on my chest or
something right here right there yeah you can see if you're watching the youtube what are you what
i'm just showing my tattoos i'm not like trying to do uh heraldo i'm just showing you i got that
i don't want a new tattoo but i think i I'm going to get one anyway from this tattoo shop owner in North Carolina.
I'm not kidding.
We'll have them on.
I'm going to talk to them.
I may just go up there and bring a few of my friends
and get a tattoo to support this guy.
I don't know him.
I'm trying to support these folks as many as I can,
but this is a disgrace.
Country's falling apart.
What can we do? You need to talk to your police departments immediately. Your friends, your friends who are cops, your police officer friends who know people,
your legislators, where are the police unions on this? Why are officers being allowed to do this?
Why are you doing it?
Listen, I'm very sorry,
but for the people involved,
I know I've got a lot of emails.
I've received a ton of them from police officers who won't do this.
I'm asking you a serious question here.
Who told you just following orders was an excuse?
It's not.
You swore an oath.
Did that not matter? And and believe me i'm receiving an
overwhelming number of emails from actual frontline police officers fully objecting to this
saying i'm not going to be involved in this where are the police unions backing your men
up and saying we will not participate in this it is clearly unconstitutional
welcome producer hey welcome how are you today, I'm doing fine. Gee,
sorry about that. This thing just- The audience gets a little screwed up when they don't hear
from me. The wonderful Windows update. Welcome back to the show. Thank you. Yeah, in the middle
of our show, but that's all right. We got going on time, so good to see you. Good deal, man.
Here is a video of another communist mayor of Chicago, laurie lightfoot who now if you assemble and you
have a house party she's letting you know she's laying down the law she hasn't read the first
amendment either congress shall establish no law interfering with people's right to assemble
here is chicago mayor laurie lightfoot laying down the law what law i'm not sure she's making
it up as she goes along,
but taking her cues from Stalin and Lenin and all. Check this out.
Now, I've directed Superintendent Brown to order all police districts to give special attention
to these parties. And this is how it's going to be. We will shut you down. We will cite you.
And if we need to, we will arrest you and we will take you to jail period
there should be nothing unambiguous about that don't make us treat you like a criminal but if
you act like a criminal and you violate the law and you refuse to do what is necessary to save
lives in the city in the middle of a pandemic we will take you to jail
period oh she's so tough oh you're so tough oh my gosh we're quivering by the way the fakest tough
guys and by guys i mean that generically obviously laurie life but as a woman the fakest tough guys
have ever seen having spending my literally my life, literally not figuratively, my entire adult life in mixed martial arts gyms with real fighters who fight for a living, have had bones broken, faces dented in, have been choked out repeatedly.
I've spent my life, or I'm not suggesting I'm one of them.
I'm telling you I've spent my life in the Secret Service, law enforcement, and mixed martial arts schools with the toughest people around.
The fakest tough guys you will ever meet are the chatterbox talkers.
Yep.
We're coming for you.
I'm laying it down.
Yeah, whatevs.
Okay.
By the way, the first person, sue her.
Sue her personally and cite that because I don't know where she's finding this power because it's not in the constitution tyrant now it gets worse yeah it gets not just Florida it's not just Maryland it's not
just North Apex North Carolina this is happening all over the country my former home state of
Maryland this is a piece by WBAL, a radio station.
I used to guest host that up there.
Three Republican lawmakers sue.
I'm going to add tyrannical here.
Tyrannical Governor Larry Hogan over the stay at home.
There it is.
Again, I don't know where Larry Hogan thinks he's getting these unconstitutional powers
to threaten to arrest people.
But these are allegations, of course.
But Republican lawmaker Dan Cox,
who is a delegate in Maryland,
was apparently going to one of these
freedom rallies, I'm calling them,
to give a speech,
and apparently alleges he was threatened
with arrest if he spoke at that rally.
This is incredible.
We now have lawmakers threatened with arrest, too.
Again, the gulags.
You have to read Solzhenitsyn
and his books, because that's where we're going with this.
Solzhenitsyn's
books, by the way, the Gulag Archipelago,
which is long, but is a must read for any
freedom-loving patriot out there. You'll see
how the advent of
this unconstitutional tyranny,
in their case, they didn't have a constitution
back then, but this tyranny,
how it starts when good people stay quiet and when good people say things like, I was just following orders.
I was just doing your job.
You're not doing your job.
That's not your job.
For the politicians and people in law enforcement, who,, the people in law enforcement have the deepest respect for.
I was there with you.
I fought these fights.
I've been there.
You swore an oath.
That oath is your job.
This isn't your job.
I don't know who told you that,
why you think this is your job or why you think just following orders is
some kind of an excuse.
Your country here is collapsing in front of our eyes. I'm sorry, but this is not your job.
I've been in those muster rooms. I've been in those break rooms. I know these guys. I know
these women. Don't think that this is going to save you. It's not. There will be lawsuits.
You will be on the other end of this stuff.
I'm not telling people what to do.
I'm simply suggesting to you, I don't know who told you this is your job.
This is not constitutional.
You swore a note.
That oath should matter.
I'm really sorry, but this is wrong.
And what's wrong is wrong, no matter who committed it.
Not because I was a friend of yours. This this is wrong. And what's wrong is wrong, no matter who committed it. Not because I was
a friend of yours. This is just
wrong. And believe me,
the overwhelming majority of emails
I've received from police officers agree
with me. Not you. If you think,
oh, I'm just doing my job, these are our orders.
What if they ordered you to go kick someone
in the face? Hey,
go punch that guy in the face.
Why?
Because I ordered it.
Would you do it?
You'd say, of course I wouldn't do it.
That's wrong.
This is wrong too.
All right.
I want to get to this Flynn stuff because it's just devastating.
It's now become incredibly transparent that Mike Flynn knew.
He knew the whole time.
That's why they needed him out.
I had some conversations this
weekend that were just eye-opening that put a lot of this together. This stuff gets really,
really delicious. Don't go anywhere. Hey, today's show also brought to you by our friends. We got

All right.
One quick note also,
for those of you who were asking me
about the President Trump interview on Friday,
I know a lot of you were surprised by it.
I got a number of emails actually
from people who said,
you know, hey, yeah, Joe,
they said to me, hey,
you know, I didn't click on your Friday show
because I thought that was your old interview
with President Trump.
Why didn't you tease it or tell anyone on Thursday?
Because I didn't know.
Folks, when the White House calls you on Thursday
and says, hey, you want to do an interview
with President Trump?
You don't say, no, hold on.
I didn't tease it to my audience.
That is a new interview on Friday.
There are some gems in there.
We talk about Biden.
We talk about China. We talk about China. We talk
about the economy, the debt. Now, the one criticism I received, which is fair, I put my email out
there so you all can email me and I can read your feedback. Why didn't you ask this? Or why didn't
you ask that? Folks, can I give you a little behind the scenes as to, and I say this with
the greatest of respect, but it's the White House.
They gave us generously 15 minutes
in the middle of their workday on a Friday
in the middle of a pandemic
because of this large digital audience we have.
They've always been great with new media,
always the White House.
And I want to sincerely thank the White House
and President Trump for doing it.
The president stayed for 28 minutes,
nearly double the time.
Some of you said, why didn't you follow up on the national debt question? minutes, nearly double the time. Some of you said,
why didn't you follow up on the national debt question? Folks, we had the Flynn thing.
We had the Biden thing. We had the China thing. We had the comments the day before. I'm deeply
sorry. I'm really sorry. I just want you to know, I will try on the next interview to get those
other questions in. It's not that I was disregarding it. It's not that I didn't want to follow up. We just didn't have the time. He was very generous with his time
and I really wanted to talk about Flynn too. So thank you for your feedback though. Sincerely,
this show is for you, not for me. And I'm trying my best here, but they were generous enough
to double the amount of time. I just can't get everything in. So that's the explanation.
Hey Dan. But thank you for all the positive feedback, which was overwhelming.
Fox used one of our cuts, too.
Yeah.
Right off the interview.
I don't know if you know that or not.
Yeah, no, a couple of people did.
And we were all over the place.
I saw that on MediaEyes, which is a website.
So I really appreciate it.
Thank you.
All right, let's get to this Flynn stuff.
Folks, Flynn knew everything.
Flynn knew everything.
I've been saying this forever.
General Mike Flynn,
who was targeted by the Obama administration
as far back as 2014,
which I have to make a correction.
I'm deeply sorry.
Last week I said the Flynn dinner
with Svetlana Lakova
and over in the UK
where they initially set him up with Halper.
Halper wasn't at the dinner,
but that's 2014.
For some bizarre reason,
I keep saying 2015.
It's 2014.
So thank you for that correction.
It's important. But Flynn was a target of the Obama administration for a very long time.
I described on Thursday's show of last week, I described why Flynn was a target. General Flynn
spoke out about the Iran deal. He was Obama's, excuse me, director of the DIA, Defense Intelligence
Agency. To have your own guy speak out about the dreadful Iran deal, put a target on his back.
Flynn was also, General Flynn was also speaking out about the horrible intelligence we were using
on the battlefield and how battlefield intelligence was more important than DC intelligence.
The DC swamp rats didn't like that.
Flynn needed to go.
He was a target from 2014 on.
But when Flynn becomes a member of the Trump team and comes into office and starts asking
questions, this is important, important, important, starts asking questions about the
intelligence community he knows and has been embedded in himself and has a real problem
with, how they came to their conclusions that president
trump was somehow colluding with the russians when flynn starts asking questions everybody panics
and it explains the beginning of january 12 the beginning of january excuse me it explains this
timeline i'm going to lay out which is devastating hat tip jeff car Carlson, Lee Smith, and others who helped me along with this as well.
And Svetlana Lakova too.
So headline, keep this in mind the whole time.
Mike Flynn was an intelligence professional
and knew this thing against Trump was a hoax
because he had already spoken out
against some of the schemes and scams
people in the intelligence community were pulling.
Let's go to the videotape here and let's prove,
let's prove to you with the evidence that they needed Flynn out.
First, here's the IG report.
From the IG report, I believe it's page 118 or around there.
Look at what happens on January 5th.
Keep up this timeline, it's devastating.
So go to the, put up the IG report. On January 5th, this up this timeline. It's devastating. So go to the,
put up the IG report.
On January 5th,
this isn't long,
but it's important.
They're talking about
Jim Comey and Clapper.
How on January 5th of 2017,
Clapper,
NSA Director Rogers,
Brennan and Comey,
they briefed the ICA
that, remember the 17
intelligence agencies report?
They briefed it to Obama.
That's this infamous meeting
Susan Rice later writes
about on a later in January email where she writes, oh no, this, this, the meeting was where,
where Obama said, do everything by the book. So on January 5th, they brief Obama about the
Obama's dossier, which says the Russians were trying to help Trump, which is fake.
It goes on that on January 6th, they brief President-elect Trump and his national security team about the same ICA.
Comey then briefs about the dossier on this January 6th meeting as well, but he keeps Trump aside.
He says, listen, you need to stay aside.
I need to brief you about something.
He tells him about the pee-pee tape stuff in the dossier.
This is where this gets really interesting.
This is from the dossier. This is where this gets really interesting. This is from the IG
report. According to an email Comey sent to FBI officials the next day on January 7th, after he
briefs Trump, January 5th, Comey briefs Obama, January 6th, he briefs Trump. January 7th,
he sends this email. He mentions during the initial portion of the briefing of a piece of
Steele's reporting. So he's briefing Trump on
the dossier and he's emailing about it. He mentions that Russia had files of derogatory
information on both Clinton and the president-elect Trump. Listen to this gem. Comey's email stated
that a member of Trump's national security team asked during the briefing whether the FBI was
trying to dig into the subsources to get a
better understanding of the situation. And Comey responded in the affirmative.
Oh, yes. So just to be clear, I know Joe is the audience referee. You're probably like,
I don't get it. Well, you'll get it soon. So on January 5th, Comey and the national security team brief Obama
on this fake, this nonsense intelligence community report
that the Russians are trying to interfere with the election.
January 6th, Comey briefs the president-elect and his national security team
about Russians having information on him in the dossier.
He then pulls Trump aside,
briefs him about the pee-pee tape.
The information then leaks to CNN,
which is then used to launch a story at BuzzFeed
about the dossier,
which starts the whole Russia nonsense
doubling down by the media.
But there's a key line in there.
Someone on Trump's national security team calls out Comey in that briefing and says,
hey, Jimbo, Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy C.
Hey, did you check this information?
Can you put that up again, by the way?
Did you actually check this dossier and find out where they're getting it from?
Now, ladies, let me read that line to you again.
Did you, quote, try to dig into the subsources?
A member of Trump's national security team asks Jim Comey.
Who do you think that member of the national security team could be?
Mike Flynn. It's clearly Mike Flynn.
It's clearly Mike Flynn.
So General Flynn is sitting there in this briefing where they're telling Trump on January 6th, the day after the Obama White House briefing, where they're doing it by the book.
The day after.
The day after. And Flynn is listening to this nonsense
about how the Russians are trying to influence Trump
and have derogatory information on Trump.
And Flynn, who's an intelligence professional who knows
and has been speaking out about using politics
and intelligence reports conveniently for years
and is a target of the Obama administration,
says, Jimbo, Jimmy, say,
where exactly are you getting this information because it
sounds like they're lying again at tip dave chappelle
interesting isn't it
interesting yes now what's also interesting is this uh said you know what i didn't put this up paul i didn't
brief you this but i put a powell sydney powell thing uh sydney powell in her legal filing it
says a powell document if you find it throw it into youtube you can leave it but sydney powell
who's mike flynn's lawyer in this filing, which is just amazing, in her legal filing, has this little gem embedded.
Oh, look at you.
My wife's amazing as a producer, isn't she?
I didn't even tell her.
I totally skipped over it.
She found it.
Look at this.
So Sidney Powell's legal filing, let me quote from it. She says a letter delivered by the British embassy to Mike Flynn after Donald
Trump's election and to the outgoing national security advisor, Susan Rice. In that letter,
he apparently disavows former British secret service agent, Christopher Steele,
calling his credibility into question and declares him untrustworthy.
so please tell me you're following folks why was there a big old bullseye on mike flynn's melon because the brits had sent him a letter saying christopher steel is full of manure
oh mike flynn is then getting this briefing with Jim
Comey on January 6th.
Susan Rice, by the way, did you catch that?
Gets the letter too. So Susan
Rice, Obama's national security advisor,
remember this is December when they're getting
this, is probably
going to Obama and going, hey,
you know that dossier we've been using to
spy on Trump? Yeah, yeah, that
one, even the Brits are telling us it's BS now.
Uh-oh.
We got a problem.
But remember, they did everything by the book, according to Susan Rice's email to herself.
So Flynn's probably sitting there at this meeting, listening to Comey brief this dossier.
Flynn already has a communique from the Brits saying,
this is all garbage, by the way.
And he's hearing the same information from Comey.
He goes, hey, Jimmo, Jimmo, Jimmy,
you sure that information's legit?
Comey's probably like, uh-oh.
Comey's doing the nail biting.
He's probably like, what do we do now?
Flynn's an intelligence professional.
He's much smarter than me.
I'm a dopey hack, Jim Comey. What do I do now? Flynn's probably intelligence professional. He's much smarter than me. I'm a dopey hack, Jim Comey.
What do I do now? Flynn's probably telling
Trump this was a setup based on fake information
the whole time.
So what do you do then?
Well, Joe,
you'd think, right, that what do you
obviously do after you've been called out by
the incoming national security advisor, a trained
intelligence professional like Flynn,
who now knows, according to the Brits themselves,
that the information Comey's briefing the president's all fake and all
nonsense.
What do you do?
Well,
if you're Jim Comey,
you do the right thing in the FBI,
right?
What do you do?
You say you go to the president,
Mr.
President,
I'm sorry,
but I have to inform you as the president of the United States,
we were spying on your campaign.
It appears the information we were using has been fully discredited and
it's not true.
You may be the subject
of a media harassment campaign,
but we've looked into this now.
We've done some investigating.
Unfortunately,
we made a mistake
and we screwed up big time.
That's what they did, of course.
Of course that's not what they did.
It did not happen.
What did they do then?
Because they know
Mike Flynn's onto them,
they doubled down
and set up an effort in early January
to start to frame Mike Flynn.
Remember early January is when this all goes down
because President Trump is about to be sworn in in days.
We got to get rid of this guy now.
So January 5th, Obama has that suspicious meeting with susan rice and others where they talk about
this fake ica intelligence community assessment this fake thing that the russians have this
connection to trump it's nonsense all garbage remember the 17 agencies that happens january
what really happened in that meeting most likely the obama people in the room with susan rice and
others went hey we got a problem.
Susan Rice got a letter from the Brits saying that Christopher Steele's full of horse manure.
Didn't we use that to spy on him?
Yes, we did.
What do we do now?
We better frame Mike Flynn.
Susan, don't worry.
Just send an email to yourself about this meeting.
No saying we're doing everything by the book.
That'll clear it all up, Joe.
Don't worry.
That'll clear everything.
I send email to myself all the time, of course, saying do things by the book. That'll clear it all up, Joe. Don't worry. That'll clear everything. I send email to myself all the time, of course, saying do things by the book. Yeah. The next day, Comey goes to brief President Trump after this meeting where they're clearly
winking and nodding at each other about setting up Mike Flynn to shut him up before he exposes
the whole thing. They go to brief the next day. They're probably feeling out Flynn at the
briefing. What does he know? Right, Joe? What does he know? We're about to frame him. We're about to
frame him. We don't want him to tell Trump what we've been doing to him. Let's feel him out at
the briefing. They brief him on the dossier. Flynn starts asking questions about the dossier. Hey,
did you actually talk to this guy's subsources? All of a suddeny's like damn we're briefing trump we're briefing
trump about this thing and flynn knows how do you know he knows because he's asking questions
damn we better start framing him right now again for like the 15th time
this case pisses me off I'm not I'm not messing with you man
I'm serious
like I'm Adam being like sarcastic
to try and take the edge off
but I'm not even kidding you
this case pisses me off
it's disgusting
yeah
Soviet style
freaking bull
so what else happens
in early January
remember the headline Flynn's got a target on his back
they got to take him out stat let's look at this national review piece kind of covered this last
week but it's worth readdressing again national review tobias i'm sorry tobias i always mispronounce
your name tobias we'll just leave it at that the last name's a little beyond the scope of my
pronunciation abilities.
Forgive me.
National Review.
Christopher Steele admits records of dossier claims and interviews with his primary source
were wiped out in early January of 2017.
Oh, what a quaking egg.
Mike Flynn starts asking questions to Comey.
Hey, Jimbo.
Jimmy Singh.
Did you actually talk to those substoices? Because the letter I have, he probably doesn't even to Comey. Hey, Jimbo, Jimmy C, do you actually talk to those substoices?
Because the letter I have, he probably doesn't even tell Comey, he's got this letter, by the way,
but the letter I have from the Brits says that this thing is all crap, this dossier.
Did you talk to them? All of a sudden, from the National Review piece, the very same day of the
infamous Obama meeting in the White House, the by the book meeting,
where Comey and them are briefing their scam, the very same day, January 5th, look what happens,
quote, National Review. Steele later elaborated that he not only were the documents relating to
the Russian bankers deleted, but all other documents underlying his intelligence report,
quote, were wiped out in early january of 2017 he also said
that the communications with fusion gps the firm which funded the dossier were deleted from his
company's orbis computer network on january 5th 2017
put my feet up on the desk
if you're missing the visuals youtube.com slash bongino you're missing a priceless video show
paul is going you know it's a good video show when paula's in the background losing her mind she's falling off the chair right now not laughing begging me to stop the absurdities
i can't on the same day that obama is in the oval office with comey rice all of these intelligence
community colluders who have set up Trump using a fake dossier.
On the same day Obama's meeting with these people, on the same day Rice is there, Rice who got the same letter from the Brits saying the dossier is probably she, you get the rest on the same day christopher steel magically wipes out his computer where he has
information allegedly about his subsource the subsource the brits told mike flynn was crap
as flynn the next day starts asking comey about his crap subsources.
Oh my gosh. How stupid are these media
people? Are you
missing this whole, none of this
bothers you?
Listen to me. This gets worse.
I need some Omax on my head right now i'm putting the cbd omax craver on my melon to reduce the swelling on my head because i can't believe how stupid our media is to ignore only the biggest
story of the entire century that That a two-star general
who was President Trump's national security advisor
was framed because he started asking questions
about a source the FBI used to spy
on the President of the United States and his campaign.
I'm like alright let's go on
try to get through this before I
go into a full blown
Dan Bongino show meltdown
shockingly it gets worse it always does I go into a full-blown Dan Bongino show meltdown.
Shockingly, it gets worse.
It always does.
Here's John Solomon's excellent new website, justthenews.com, and a screenshot from an article here.
So John Solomon, FBI found no derogatory Russian evidence on Mike Flynn.
They plan to close the case before leaders intervene.
Oh, really?
When was that date?
So just to be clear,
the FBI did an exhaustive
research file on Mike Flynn
to try to prove he was colluding
with the Russians.
Found nothing.
Zero.
Nothing.
No derogatory information.
This is in their notes.
And right as they're about to close it down on this very interesting date from the Just the News piece, someone intervenes and says, no, no, keep this open.
What is that date?
the day before the infamous Obama Oval Office meeting between all of the colluders
that is supposed to be the by-the-book meeting,
as Susan Rice indicates in an email to herself.
Now, there's something interesting,
and I'll read from this in a second here,
this John Solomon piece.
There appears to be some disagreement.
So on January 4th, Peter Stroke,
who they're investigating Flynn,
wants to shut the case down.
Someone sends him a text message and says,
no, don't shut it down, keep it open.
Let me read from this, just the news piece.
The text messages show the discussion pivoted
from closing the case on Flynn to seeking an interview with Flynn
and suggest there was a dispute between Andrew McCabe
and his top counterintelligence official, Bill Priestep,
who appeared to be concerned that the FBI was being unfair to Flynn.
This is the text about Bill stroke texting page. He was pretty adamant about what Andy said with
regards to that. And he mentioned on Saturday, he had several conversations with Andy,
Bill sense with it. That's typos there on him. And he wanted to know why he had to go aggressively
doing these things openly. I worry
Bill isn't getting the underlying distinction that I think is clear, but maybe I'm wrong.
Bill Price step who's supervising this investigation and reports to two people
and two people only Bill Price step of the FBI reports to Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe,
the deputy director
apparently bill pristap who's supervising this in the fbi is wondering openly in communications
with his team joe why the hell are we interviewing mike flint close this out
remember it's bill pristap's notes where he quote, what's our goal to get him to lie?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not patting Bill Prystep on the back.
Why he wasn't a whistleblower earlier, I'll never know.
He clearly knew something was wrong.
And shame on him for not speaking out earlier.
But you ever ask yourself out of all of the people who were let go, fired, or being investigated in this case, Lisa Page, Peter Stroke, James Baker, and others, Comey. Why was Bill Price that the only one who wasn't fired?
Let me ask you an easier question.
It's not really a question, but could be.
I'm just trying to probe your mind here.
You think Bill Price that may have flipped and been a source for the government at some
point here?
I'm just saying, folks.
Hat tip, my friend 279 a lot of this stuff that recently turned up in sydney powell's request for evidence against flynn remember the notes the notes we discussed last week these just surfaced
the notes what's our goal to get flynn to lie
those notes in a case file are typically buried real deep nobody reads those
is it just possible i'm asking that bill price that may have known about those notes and that
he wrote those notes to cover his own caboose if you know what i mean why are we reopening the case
against mike flynn to frame him because he knows your dossier is fake and he's asking questions
that's why bill you think bill Bill Price may have known that,
that they were then setting up Flynn,
that this whole interview they were going to conduct
just days later at the White House with Flynn,
the whole interview was a pretext to get him to lie?
He wrote it in his own notes, Priestep,
to charge him with a fake 1001 lying to agents charge
because they needed to shut him up
before he told Trump about what he knew.
You think Price knew that? That's why he told Trump about what he knew? You think Price Step knew that?
That's why he put it down in the notes?
You think Price Step may be talking?
He's the only one who wasn't fired.
The only one of the big deep state colluders.
Maybe it was Price Step who cued in Durham and others
and Bill Barr, people investigating this. Maybe it was Price Step who said, in Durham and others and Bill Barr,
people investigating this.
Maybe it was Price Step who said, you may want to look at my notes.
Kind of a CYA.
I'm just saying.
Now, so we covered a moment ago.
I got a lot of other stuff to get to, including some media madness.
So I want to wrap this up, this segment media madness. We don't want to go.
So I want to wrap this up,
this segment on Flynn,
but just quickly,
let's just recap where we were because there's a part three to this.
So the big story is
why did they target Flynn?
Because Flynn knew the dossier was crap.
The Brits told them.
Flynn knew the intelligence community,
portions of it were being corrupted
by bad business practices
and the politicization and politics,
using politics in it.
No one can ever say that word right, me included.
We have the IG report where Comey admits that on the January 6th conversation with Trump that Comey has with him,
Flynn starts asking him questions about the sources.
Flynn knows her crap.
Comey clearly freaks out.
Part two, what else happens in early January?
They have to set up Flynn now.
They have no derogatory information.
The FBI's words, not mine.
They've been investigating him forever.
Now they flip to part two.
Well, let's just interview him about this transcript.
And when he says something wrong,
we'll frame him for lying to the FBI.
Price Step clearly has some worries about this strategy.
Take some notes.
Those notes magically are found.
Price Step isn't the, you know, it doesn't get fired.
That's the reason they interview Flynn.
Clearly as a pretext to lock this guy up.
Why do they need to hear from Flynn?
They have the transcript of the call
with the Russian ambassador.
Here comes part three of this.
The media's role in this.
The grotesque, disgusting media,
which now has to spin
because they have to have a reason
to distract the public from the obvious,
Joe, that Mike Flynn was calling out the intelligence community and probably knew
things about the dossier and is now a subject of a massive investigation. So the media,
the useful idiots they are, have to be incorporated into the story. And the intelligence community
deep staters looking to take out Flynn have to start spinning a narrative that Flynn may be the subject or the active participant in a Russian disinformation campaign.
I'm going to get to the third part of that in a second.
Let me read my last spot because this is important.
The real story is the FBI is targeting Flynn and the media knows it because he knows Flynn knows things.
The story they spin is totally different.

Okay.
So they know Flynn knows.
They know they've got to get rid of him.
They know they have nothing on him.
Now they know they've got to set him up.
But they've got to distract the American public from an obvious frame job.
So they go to their useful idiot friends in the media.
First, let's look at this footnote here.
Let's look at footnote 350.
It was recently declassified portions of it, of the IG report.
We find out in footnote 350, that's where the Russian disinformation hoax line starts.
Because remember, keep this up.
They got to distract you from Flynn.
So the new narrative is going to be this
there was russian disinformation this wasn't a targeting campaign joe we just fell for russian
disinformation in the dossier and you know what flynn may have been a part of it that starts
january 12th from the footnote a january 12th report relayed information from redacted outlining
an inaccuracy in a limited subset of
Steele's reporting and in a limited
sub the whole thing was BS by the way
about the activities of Michael Cohen
they stated that they did not
have high confidence in this subset of Steele's
reporting and assessed that the reference
subset was part of a Russian
disinformation campaign
to denigrate US foreign
relations gosh isn't this convenient?
January 12th, the following week after the infamous
by-the-book meeting in Obama's Oval Office with Susan Rice,
who knows the dossier's crap,
and just six days after Mike Flynn in a meeting Comey has with Trump
at Flynn's Inn starts to ask questions of Comey about this subsource
and their reporting because Flynn knows it's garbage.
Conveniently, a week later, January 12th, the FBI starts to say, hey, that dossier that Flynn knows is garbage.
We think it was Russian disinformation.
You may say, well, how would that help the FBI?
Because right now the FBI is realizing they are screwed, let's say,
for the sake of keeping it family friendly.
So the FBI, Joe, let me just kind of put together
what I think happens in some FBI office
and the seventh floor where their headquarters person
or something, they're probably like,
holy crikeys, we've got a problem.
Flynn knows the dossier we've been using to spy on is garbage.
What do we do now?
I've got an idea.
Let's just say it's going to make us look bad,
but not look as bad as us playing a role in the biggest political targeting
scandal in American history of the now president of the United States,
or soon to be.
Let's do this.
Let's just say we got snookered by the Russians.
We'll say, man, they're really good at this.
Damn, we got nailed by the russians we'll say man they're really good at this and damn we got nailed by the russians
golly the fbi supposedly the premier law enforcement entity in the entire world they're coming out now with this obvious ludicrous line you see it in the footnote
right there 350 january 12th is when it starts hey let's just
start telling people this is russian disinformation and joe joe i got an idea i have an idea let's say
flynn may have been a part of this russian disinformation campaign it's a great idea
now of course we have january 10th two days before that. The BuzzFeed article leaks, as we can see.
The BuzzFeed article about the dossier.
So they're softening the public up here.
Here's the dossier.
Here's BuzzFeed.
Remember, BuzzFeed finds out about,
as it's leaked to CNN and others,
about the briefing of Trump about the dossier.
So BuzzFeed uses that.
They know the dossier is garbage,
but they use the briefing by Comey
where Flynn starts asking questions
as a predicate to write about it.
So we see this BuzzFeed story up January 10th.
Russian influence.
Here we go.
So we see this BuzzFeed story up January.
The BuzzFeed story.
Are we missing the BuzzFeed story?
What's going on over there?
What are we doing back there?
Do we not have the BuzzFeed story?
What's wrong?
Why do you not have the BuzzFeed story?
That was important.
Okay.
The BuzzFeed story, January 10 okay the BuzzFeed story January 10th
you get the point
moving on
you lost a few points
you scored huge in the beginning of the show
she's laughing
I'm messing with her
okay we'll edit it afterwards
so you'll see it and you'll see me talking about it being edited afterwards
so again on January 12th
same day Joe January 12th, same day, Joe, January 12th, 2017,
same day the FBI hatches this.
Well, golly, we were just victims of Russian disinformation.
We weren't targeting people on fake information.
The same day, what appears in the Washington Post
with David Ignatius, known recipient of deep state leaks
whenever they need to cover something up, this little gem of an article appears in the Washington Post with David Ignatius, known recipient of deep state leaks whenever they need to cover something up.
This little gem of an article
appears in the Washington Post.
Same day.
Same day, January 12th, 2017.
Why did Obama dawdle on Russia's hacking?
Oh, the Russians got us.
They got us, Joe.
Darn.
Look at this little gem from Ignatius buried in the piece.
Here we go.
They set up the whole scheme here.
Flynn talked to Kislyak.
It may have been a violation of the Logan Act.
That's hilarious.
The Logan Act.
I mean, the unconstitutional law never charged successfully in the history of the United States.
Yeah, that one.
He sets that up, but it gets even better.
He says, Ignatius in his piece, question four, same day the FBI hatches this.
Let's just say it was Russian disinformation.
Flynn was a part of it.
So Ignatius conveniently mentions Flynn in his article, same day.
But he asked a question.
He says, question, finally, what's the chance that Russian intelligence has
gamed its covert action more subtly than we realized?
Applying a counterintelligence lens, it's worth asking whether the Russians hope to be discovered
and whether Russian operatives fed the former MI6 officer Steele's controversial dossier deliberately to sow further chaos.
There it is. There it is. There it is.
There what is. There it is. There what is?
David Ignatius has been part and parcel of this.
He has been an inside schemer the whole time
with the intelligence community that leaks to him
whenever they need a Pravda-like fake gaslighting narrative.
When they need a fake story to go out in the media,
they call Ignatius.
What's the fake story hatched on January 12th
in the IG report?
This was Russian intel.
We didn't use the dossier.
They really got over on us.
And what is Ignatius asking?
By the way, Joe, framed tactfully
in the form of a question.
So Ignatius, he's just throwing this out there.
Hey, man, question.
What if this was just russian disinformation
they deliberately deleted leaked it the intelligence community is like thank you
david thank you for doing that you see what you uh same day let's hatch a plot that we got worked over by the russians that's not as bad as saying
we used a fake dossier leak it to ignatius he'll ask it in the form of a question there's washington
post piece did we get screwed over by the russians nice job david useful moron not even a useful
idiot useful imbecile. Great job.
Let me ask you a question, David.
Are you really this dumb?
There's my question.
Question about David Ignatius.
Dan Bongino,
bongino.com headline.
Is David Ignatius really this dumb?
Answer, of course he is.
So January 12th, when they hatched this plot
to blame Flynn as part of a,
because he's a Russian tool
and he's part of this Russian disinformation game,
but that's going to be their whole narrative now
because they got to distract you from framing him.
Something else happens on January 12th.
They look at this gem.
Again, hat tip to Jeff Carlson and Lee Smith
for prodding me along these lines.
I work all the time now in preparation for this show.
I got this on Friday.
Jeff Carlson at the Epic Times
in a piece in August of 2018.
Be in the show notes.
Read it.
Read it, please.
Bongino.com slash newsletter.
Open my email and read this piece.
It says, the Jeff Carlson piece
I talked about in the show.
The case of Adam Lovinger.
How security clearances of Trump officials
are politicized.
What?
What the heck does this have to do with framing Mike Flynn and trying to use the Washington
Post to paint a narrative?
This was all Russian disinfo.
And by the way, Flynn's got shady ties to the Russians, too.
What is Adam Lovinger?
Who the heck is that?
What does that have to do anything?
Well, let's go to Carlson's piece, and I'll tell you exactly what it has to do with it.
On January 12, 2017.
No, Joe, that can't be you mean the same day the bureau hatches this plot to say the russians really got us same day buddy same day on january 12 lovinger is
invited by flynn by mike flynn this guy adam lovinger is invited by general flynn to serve
as a senior director on the Security Council.
On that same day, James Baker, James Baker, where did we hear that name? James Baker,
you mean the head of the Office of Net Assessments at the Pentagon who is paying Stefan Halper,
the guy who alleges to be spying on Mike Flynn, that guy? Yes, James Baker, back to the piece.
That same James Baker, the guy who's managing the contract, some of them, that guy? Yes, James Baker, back to the piece. That same James Baker,
the guy who's managing the contract,
some of them, that are paying a spy who is openly communicating to the FBI
about Mike Flynn, go back to the piece.
So this guy, Lovinger,
James Baker files four separate charges
against Lovinger.
I still haven't told you what Lovinger's done.
These counts include an unauthorized trip to Israel
and other nonsense stuff.
Follow me.
This sounds complicated.
It's not at all.
So this guy, Lovinger,
who's friendly with Flynn
and is invited to
the National Security Council.
Flynn's the National Security Advisor.
This guy, Lovinger,
was a whistleblower.
This guy, Lovinger,
was questioning contracts where they were paying
Stephen Halper, the same guy lying about Mike Flynn. Halper. Oh, I'll give you the lie in a
minute. So Lovinger's a whistleblower and says, hey, we're paying a guy to spy on the general?
The same day they hatched the Russian disinformation plot in the middle of the framing operation on Mike Flynn.
This guy who blows the whistle and says, hey, we got a problem.
We're paying a guy to spy on U.S. citizens like Flynn.
He blows the whistle on it the same day he has ethics charges filed against him by the guy managing the department that's paying Stefan Halpern.
You don't believe me?
Here's the Washington Times.
This gets even better.
Even better.
The great Rowan Scarborough.
This article is in the show notes to August of 2019.
Exclusive probe clears pro-Trump Pentagon analyst Lovinger.
But the report was withheld from his defense team.
Yes, this is, in in fact the Soviet Union.
We are morphing into rather quickly.
I'm not messing with you.
Lovinger.
Hey, we got a problem.
We're paying people to spy on Flynn.
He's friends with Flynn, Lovinger.
Lovinger then gets investigated.
Lovinger's cleared.
But conveniently, when Lovinger's cleared,
if we're doing nothing wrong,
even the report that clears him screws it up.
Listen to this from The Washington Times.
The NCIS report said an analysis of the hard drive on Mr. Lovinger's computer, quote, did not yield any classified or sensitive information.
So remember, Lovinger's being investigated now. He's really being investigated
because he's a whistleblower blowing the whistle on what's happening
to Flynn. They investigate
Lovinger, Joe, and they come to keep
this up because this is important.
The investigation finds
no, no, Lovinger didn't have any
classified information on, he didn't break
any rules. Yet
in the declassified version of the report
the word not is missing.
Lovinger did not break the law
and did not have
any classified information.
In the declassified version
of the report,
they delete the word not
to say he did have
classified information
on his computer.
Oh, man.
Oh, my gosh you realize if we had a media that had even a sliver of integrity and decency none of this
would be allowed to happen guy blows the whistle on halper's contracts. Halper, who's spying on
Flynn and feeding the FBI information about Flynn. The whistleblower gets targeted by the guy Baker
running the department paying Halper. They investigate him. They find he did nothing wrong.
And the report that says he did nothing wrong, they delete the word not
to make it seem like
he did traffic
and classified information
when the report says
he did not.
Where's that Russian,
Soviet?
Here we go.
The media.
The problem, the media.
That's right.
Hold on.
Sing it.
I don't know.
This is what it is.
I only know it from the end of Rocky IV.
Salute, Joe.
Yeah.
Paula, can you put Joe up? Who? Joe. Paula, come on. Get Joe up on the camera. This will be nice. I only know it from the end of Rocky IV. Salute, Joe. Yeah. Paula, can you put Joe up?
Who?
Joe.
Paula, come on.
Get Joe up on the camera.
Joe, pop the attention here.
They're for our media people.
This is where we're full proctor now.
What is that, dude?
We're full proctor yeah i mean this is unbelievable it's right here the evidence is right in front of you now you may say to yourself let me just hold on i hear you
again i know you shouldn't laugh at your own jokes, but the media is a joke. So are these deep state corruptocrats.
Why is Lovinger probably blowing the whistle on Halper and saying, hey, why are we paying this guy Halper to spy on folks?
Well, let me go to this government document about the FBI's communications with Halpern. So remember, on August 10th of 2017,
the FBI opens cases on Carter Page,
George Papadopoulos, and Paul Manafort,
but not on Mike Flynn.
Well, what happens magically, of course, on August 11th?
Someone gets wind.
What do you mean you're not opening up a case on Mike Flynn?
You better open up a case.
I got a guy, Joe, who shows up on August 11th
to talk to the FBI.
Stephen Halper,
the same guy Lovinger
is probably concerned about
in his whistleblower report
why we're paying this guy.
And what is Halper?
If Halper is in fact
this CHS,
confidential human source,
which we believe he is
based on the overwhelming
amount of it,
could be somebody else,
but we haven't heard
of another confidential
human source that's being
paid by the FBI.
Evidence seems to indicate based on most of the reporting, that the CHS they're referring to here is Halper.
This is an official government document about what happened the next day after the FBI doesn't open up a case on Mike Flynn.
Someone probably at headquarters gets wind of it and goes, we're going to open up a case real quick.
gets wind of it and goes,
we're going to open up
a case real quick.
The CHS, again,
believed to be Halper
by most reports,
stated that,
whatever,
surprised everyone,
it's redacted,
and got into
Mike Flynn's cab
and joined Flynn
on the train.
That's CR,
but that's Razor
talking about Flynn.
The CHS stated that
he was somewhat suspicious
and has been affiliated
with several prominent
members of Redacted.
The CHS believes Blank's father may be a Russian oligarch live in the CHS
cannot provide further information.
Let me just translate that for you.
What that means and why Lovinger is probably concerned and Flynn as well.
If that CHS is in fact helper,
which again,
most media reporting and most investigative reports believe that is it's
fine.
Halper is telling the FBI the day after the FBI says, what are we going to need some more information?
Open up on Flynn.
Halper magically shows up.
He's talking about the 2014 Flynn is at dinner.
He's at Flinner.
The dinner Flynn is at.
I can't spit it out.
In 2014 with Svetlana Lakova.
And how Michael Flynn may have gotten into a cab with Svetlana Lakova and how Michael Flynn may have gotten into a cab with Svetlana
Lakova. What's the problem with that? The problem with that is Halper wasn't at the dinner
and Svetlana Lakova never got in a cab. Her husband picked her up. Nor did Mike Flynn. It never happened.
Halper made it up. Now, do you understand why Lovinger, this Pentagon analyst who sees these contracts paying Halper and is probably reading some of these reports, is probably saying,
wait, we're paying this guy to do what? To make stuff up?
this guy to do what? To make stuff up?
And now the question becomes, of course, did the media know?
And did the FBI know that Halpern was making all this up the whole time as they were targeting Flynn?
Of course.
All right, let me get to a couple more stories just quick here at the end of the show. So the New York Times now regarding the Biden-Tara Reid allegations,
which I addressed with President Trump on the interview, the New York Times now regarding the Biden-Tara Reid allegations, which I addressed with President Trump
on the interview,
the New York Times is pretending
there's some independent media outlet
and they want investigations.
Look at this hilarious story
from the New York Times.
They say,
investigate Tara Reid's allegations.
Why is this hilarious?
Not because the allegations are,
the allegations aren't funny.
These are serious allegations
that Joe Biden may have
sexually assaulted someone.
Joe Biden's entitled
to the presumption of innocence here.
What's hilarious is the New York times response.
You may say,
damn,
what's the problem.
Even a New York times is calling for investigations.
Clearly Joe,
the New York times,
which is all in for the FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh with the
Blasey Ford allegations that had no evidence at all.
Clearly this is about an FBI investigation,
right?
Joe,
I mean,
they're just being principled,
right?
The New York times.
Let's go to the Times piece.
So they want the who the FBI should move to investigate the matter swiftly and thoroughly with the full cooperation of the Biden campaign.
No, that's not what that says.
I'm kidding.
Here's the actual quote from the New York Times.
The Democratic National Committee should move to investigate the matter swiftly and thoroughly with the full cooperation of the Biden campaign.
swiftly and thoroughly with the full cooperation of the Biden campaign.
So when,
just to be clear,
when they're baseless evidence, free allegations against someone associated with a Republican,
like now Supreme court justice,
Brett Kavanaugh,
the FBI should get involved and investigate those fully.
But when it's Joe Biden's campaign,
the investigation should be conducted by the DNC led by this hack.
Tom Perez. If you look at this video and the Biden campaign, led by this hack, Tom Perez.
If you look at this video and the Biden campaign, don't get the FBI or anyone else involved.
They may actually discover something. This is, by the way, the head of the DNC.
Here's his response to this with, I believe, Martha Raddatz. Check this out.
But why not just search Tara Reid in those documents?
This is like the Hillary emails because there was nothing there and the reason is if i'm going
i worked i worked on the senate judiciary committee in 1995 the ranking member was joe biden if you
want i wasn't working for joe biden i was working for senator kennedy if you want to see my uh
personnel records you don't go to the kennedy. That's not where they go. And so when
you ask the University of Delaware to take a look at something, you're asking them to look for
something that doesn't exist. And the fact of the matter is that the president of the United States,
the former president, Barack Obama, conducted an exhaustive search. And that was 2008.
There's the head of the DNC.
Now you see why the New York Times wants the DNC to investigate?
Because Tom Perez, the head of the DNC, is already saying,
no, no, we don't need to go to the University of Delaware
where misreads allegations may be.
May, we may get a whole.
No, no, we don't need to do that.
Don't worry.
Good job, New York Times.
Journalism at its finest.
But again, New York Times, while you're doing that, recommending the DNC investigate its own people and the FBI investigate everyone else. that don't worry good job new york times journalism at its finest but again new york times while
you're doing that recommending the dnc investigate its own people and the fbi investigate everyone
else don't ask the fbi to actually investigate their own malfeasance in the setting up of mike
flynn because he knew what was happening the whole time don't you worry about that disgusting
what a rag pathetic all right today's show was animated i'm sorry but uh i was a little excited
about that story uh don't miss tomorrow's show.
I got a lot more, including how we are claiming to do things
in the name of public health while we're starving people
and destroying our hospital capacity.
Yeah, that's going to require its whole section tomorrow.
