DOJ Considers DELAYING Hunter Biden's Plea Hearing as More Facts Come Out that are Damning to the BIDENS! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The Daily Mail is now reporting an exclusive that the
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden plea hearing could be quote delayed as the
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Justice Department considers the firestorm of sweetheart deal allegations by
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: whistleblowers and claims that the Attorney General Merrick Garland lied
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to Congress about the criminal tax probe. A Delaware federal
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: judge is set to decide whether to accept Hunter Biden's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: plea agreement. Now, DOJ official has said to the Daily
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Mail that the Department is now discussing delaying Hunter Biden's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: plea hearing following all the accusations of corruption and the whistleblowers.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: They claim that the Attorney General not only wasn't doing
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it the right way, but he lied to Congress about
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the entire Biden criminal probe. On July twenty six, the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Delaware federal judges set to decide whether to accept the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: first Sun's plea deal with prosecutors over two tax misdemeanors.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: The gun charges will be dismissed. Republican lawmakers are now
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: calling for that judge to toss out the slap on
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the wrist and sweetheart deal entirely. Why because whistleblowers were
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: so angry over the deal that they've risked their entire careers.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Whistleblowers from the IRS who investigated hunter Biden for five
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: years say that he could instead have been charged with
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: a raft of more serious tax and corruption crimes now.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: A legal filing also reveals the DOJ is considering delaying
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the finalization of the plea deal amid the uproar quote unquote,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: this is obviously a significant change now. Conservative organization the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation, is also suing the Justice Department for failing
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to release Delaware Prosecutor David Weiss's communication records under the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Freedom of Information Act. A court filing by the Heritage
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Foundation last week documented a June twenty ninth phone call
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: between their lawyer and the DOJ Council Jason Lynch, in
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: which the Justice official allegedly made the stunding ad mission.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Foundation lawyer Samuel Dewey pointed out to the DOJ attorney
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: that they could ask the federal judge n hunter Biden's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: criminal case for his July twenty sixth plea hearing to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: be delayed to give them more time to process and
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: release Weiss's records and allow scrutiny of the prosecutor bargain
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that was given out DOJ Council indicated that plaintiffs were
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: absolutely right that the Department could file such a motion,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and the DOJ Council would take that point back to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the district, presumably speaking to the District of Delaware. The
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation wrote, Deuay's description suggests the Justice Department could
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: now be debating whether to delay submitting the plead altogether.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: They do have the capability to move the plea deal,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: though they didn't indicate any likelihood they would. Heritage Foundation
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: oversight director Mike Howell said to The Daily Mail, the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: public has an interest to assess for themselves.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Is this a sweetheart deal? It certainly appears to be.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: This information needs to be out in the public, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it's in the public interest for it to be out
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: prior to any plea bargains being signed off on now.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: The Heritage Foundation filed the Freedom of Information Act request
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice in March, asking for any
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: documents or communications between Weiss's Delaware office and other DOJ
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: officials about the Hunter Biden probe. They sue the department
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: after it failed to produce any records for months. Howell
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: said the Foundation is looking for evidence to back up
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: claims by whistleblowers that, in fact, David Weiss was denied
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the ability to prosecute the first son's crimes in other districts,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: including Central California and Washington DC. Now I'm going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: stop there with this part of the story because I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: want to bring in another part of this story.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: But first I want to.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Take a quick moment to tell you about our good
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: friends since Augusta Precious Metals. Have you been saving a

  Speaker 1: rates have been skyrocketing, inflation issues, bank failures, and people
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that have actually lost.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Some money in their retirement accounts.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: If you aren't invested and diversified in gold, you should
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: check out Augusta Precious Metals.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Augusta Precious Metals. They're just different.

  Speaker 1: important if you're in retirement or close to retirement, because

  Speaker 1: there's no time to make up losses. Now, if you've
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: had those losses, you know what I'm talking about. So,
• 4:59

• 5:01

• 5:04

• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you peace of mind of knowing that, hey, you can
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: protect your hard earned dollars eight seven to seven the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: number four GOLDR. That's eight seven to seven the number
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: four GOLDRA. Or visit Augusta Precious Medals dot com. That's
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Augusta Precious Medals dot com er eight seven seven the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: number four GOLDR. We're also now being told that Hunter
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Biden's prosecutor received October twenty twenty briefing on claims that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his son each received five million dollars
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: in bribes. Republicans are now demanding the FBI memo and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: they are demanding to know why this damning FBI memo
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't investigated and the irs wasn't informed on it as well.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: With their investigation, a top attorney who is prosecuting Hunter
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Biden was apparently briefed about allegations that Joe and his
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: son were both taking five million in bribes. According to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a letter obtained also by The Daily Mail, Grassley sent
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, who is prosecuting Hunter
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Biden for federal gun and tax crimes. Senators alleged obstruction
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of the Hunter probe by one of his top prosecutors,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the assistant US Attorney Leslie Wolff. This is a big
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: deal deal, Republican Senator Chuck Grasseley is claiming now that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: not only did he did not investigate it, but he
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: left the IRS investigators out of the meeting altogether, Which
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: makes no sense if they were investigating Hunter Biden, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: obviously he knew they were investigating the Biden crime family,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: so why would you leave them out of it all together.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Grassley says that, according to the IRS whistleblowers, wolf prevented
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: investigators from seeking information about Joe Biden's involvement in Hunter's
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: criminal business arrangements. Whistle Blower Gary Shapley specifically say that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Wolfe discouraged quote unquote investigators from pursuing Joe Biden's connected leads,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: including by thwarting a search warrant request of Biden's Delaware
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: guest house due to bad quote optics, and that the
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: prosecutor said there was no specific criminality. So to be clear,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it's not bad optics when you raid the home of
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a former president over classified documents, but it's bad optics
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to raid the garage of a former vice president and
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: his son when they're receiving ten million dollars in bribes allegedly.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You cannot make this up, now, the Senator.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: There's reference also a meeting on October the twenty third,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, during which he says the Department of Justice
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and the FBI officials from the Pittsburgh Field Office brief
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Wolf and agents from the Baltimore Office with respect to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the contents of the FBI generated FD one zero two
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to three alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving then Vice
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: President Biden and Hunter Biden without any IRS agents present.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: All Right, So everybody in the room knew the IRS
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: was investigating these tax crimes. Everybody in the room knew
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that the IRS should be in that room. Everybody in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the room knew that they should immediately call and say, hey,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: then we need to read the IRS into this because
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: they need to know about five million dollars in bribes
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: going to each of these individuals through foreign nationals who are,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: by the way, so the shadiest business deals deals in
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the world. This on top of the more than one
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: hundred suspicious activity reports that were also released. According to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a highly credible whistleblower, An internal FBI memo created in
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty based on information from a well paid informant,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: allegedly says then Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: each got five million dollars a bribe from a Ukrainian
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: foreign national exchange for quote policy decisions. The national, a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Barisma executive, also allegedly has phone recordings of Joe and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Hunter that he kept as an insurance policy. However, the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: meeting did not include any IRS agents. Grassley added in
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: his July the ninth letter, the Center writes an light
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of the a the AUSA Wolf's alleged questionable and obstructive
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: conduct during the course of your investigation, He's seeking clarification
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: from Weiss with respect to the whistleblower's new allegations. Hunter Biden,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: as you know, has agreed to a plea deal with
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Weiss pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and entering
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: probation over a gun charge, meaning he will not see
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a single day in jail. However, to IRS whistleblowers, including
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a fourteen year agent Gary Shapley, came forward to the
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: House Ways and Means Committee last month and alleged that
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the top Justice Department officials, including the Attorney General Merrick Garland,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: directly interfered in the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, which
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: means that Merrick Garland lied under oath. If this whistleblower
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: is telling the truth, I want you to hear something
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: that Matthew Whitaker said. Matthew Winacker, former acting US Attorney
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: General under Donald Trump. He was asked about the possibility
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of a delay of the Hunter Biden plea hearing, and
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he had to say
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Say what's happening right now is the discipline of the
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Department of Justice is fraying because every line assistant the
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: United States Attorney knows that this deal that Hunter Biden's
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: getting is extraordinary. As I've talked about many times, it
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: is outside of the mainstream of what these typical deals
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: would get the fact that they blew the statute of
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: limitations on the most serious charges and we're unwilling to
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: bring those in other districts like d C and Los Angeles,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: I think tells us everything we need to know.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: And I think Merrick Garland is certainly hearing that from
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: the rank and file.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: And you know, they're better off to kick the can
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: down the road than to, you know, kind of take
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: what's about to happen at main Justice and across the
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: US Jorney's offices around the United States. So I think
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: they may want to delay it, But knowing Merrick Garland
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: is and the way he's been running the Department of Justice,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I would be if ultimately they don't just go forward
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: with it. And because you know, it's just kind of
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I would compare the way Hunter Biden's been going on
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: these trips to Ireland and you know, on these vacations
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: with his dad and hanging out at the White House
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: on July fourth. I think they're just thumbing the nose,
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: thumbing their nose at the American people, and you know,
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: it's really a shame.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: He's right, it is really a shame.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: But you have a President of the United States of
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: America and a family that clearly believes that they are
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: at one hundred percent above the law. And that's exactly
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the reason why Whitaker right there, who's a brilliant guy.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I just travel with him to Ukraine, or I say
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to budapas, excuse me on that trip over there to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: meet with the Prime minister. He is very concerned in
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: saying that there are a lot of rank and file
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: people that are beyond enraged over this. They are just
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: incredibly frustrated to watch this plea deal come through the
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: way that it's coming through now. Prosecutor is also fighting
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: back on the eye IRS's official account of the request
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: in the Hunter Biden case. And let me tell you
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: that David Weiss, the US attorney in Delaware, said he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: never asked to be named a special counsel, disputing testimony
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to a House panel this past week. Weiss the federal
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: prosecutor in Delaware who the media is upset saying he
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: was Trump appointed. That's true, but David Whis doesn't get
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the job without two hardcore liberal Democrats picking him first.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: To be clear, the two senators from Delaware do not
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: pick him and put his name to Donald Trump.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: He never gets the job.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: So don't believe for a second that this is somehow
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: like a Trump pick.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It's not. The name is handed to Trump. Trump says,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: okay to it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: This is how it works when you are a senator,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: a sitting senator. You're gonna pick who the federal prosecutor
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: is going to be in your state, and you do
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it with the other senator from your state. Now, in
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, mister Weiss said
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: that he had never asked the Justice Department for to
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: give him special council status to pursue the case. That
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: is contradicting testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: by the IRS official Gary Shapley, who said mister Weiss
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: had sought the status and had been turned down. Now,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: obviously we know one of these two men now is
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: officially lying to us. Now, mister Weiss suggested that mister
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Shapley might have misunderstood him during an October twenty twenty meeting.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Mister Weiss has attorney for Delaware, who was appointed to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the role under President Donald Trump, said in the letter
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: that he had approached a Department higher up about the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: possibility of requesting status as a special attorney, not, he says,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: as a special counsel. Deputizing a federal prosecutor as a
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: special attorney is distinct from making one a special council.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: A special attorney provision in essence, a workaround that allows
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: an outsigner to intervene in cases that spend multiple jurisdictions
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: or have special conditions. The special council regulations, by contrast,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: contain internal Justice Department reporting requirements and Congressional oversight provisions quote.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: To clarify an apparent miss perception and to avoid further confusion,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I wish to make one point clear in this case,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I have not requested special council designation, mister Weiss told
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, the top Republican on
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: the House Senate Judiciary Committee. Instead, mister Whiss said he
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: discussed has had discussions with departmental officials regarding potential appointment
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: as a special attorney, which would have allowed me to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: file charges in a district outside my own without the
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: partnership of the local US attorney quote unquote. Now again,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: somebody's lying here, and you have to decide exactly which
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: one you think that is lying here. Now, let me
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: also remind you while we give you that of something else.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: An Obama era email has also revealed that Hunter's extensive
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: ties to nearly now a dozen senior level Biden administration aids.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: In other words, when Hunter was selling access, he actually
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: had the access he claimed he had. Hunter had deep
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: connections to Biden's inner circle. As whistleblowers are now crying
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: foul over the federal probe, saying come on, you should
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: know all of this, I want you to also hear
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: what they're saying now as well about Hunter's attorney is
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: accusing whistleblowers of quote unquote leaking. Take a listen to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley on Fox.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Thank professor, Nice to have you on and good morning
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: to you. So I just want to remind viewers from
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: a week ago, weis the prosecutor out of Delaware sent
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: a letter to Jim Jordan, and he seemed to outline
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: his defense in four different parts. You have seen that letter.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: Do you have quotquestions about the letter or do they
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: satisfy you? And then I'll ask you specifically about too.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: Well, No, there's nothing to be satisfied with, because there's
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: no answers in the letter. That is what Weiss is
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: saying is I was given this authority, but doesn't deal
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: with the specific allegations.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Of these whistleblowers.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: We have numerous witnesses and other witnesses were named in
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: these accounts who were present at a meeting where Weiss
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: allegedly said that he was not the final decision maker,
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: that he had tried to become a special counsel was denied,
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: and they were also told that charges were attempted in
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: California d C but rebuffed by those US attorneys. That's
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: in direct and irreconcilable conflict with what has been said
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: by Attorney General Garland. What Weiss is saying is I
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: was given this authority, and so he's got an answer
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: to these discrepancies. But the problem that Weiss has is
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: but the case itself is just a glaring mountain of contradiction.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: I mean, the US the Justice Department seemed to let
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: the statue limitations run, and some of us wrote columns
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: before that date and said, why are you doing this?
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: The statutes about to run. These whistleblowers are saying that
• 18:18
  Speaker 6: it did appear to be intentional that there was an
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: agreement that more serious charges could be brought against Hunter,
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: and those were scuttled.
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: Okay, so you've got Weiss, you got Merritgardland, and you
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: got the whistleblower, Shapley. He was on with Bred on
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: the twenty eighth of June listening here.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: We weren't allowed to ask questions about Dad. We weren't
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: allowed to ask about the big guy. We weren't allowed
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: to include certain names, and document requests and search warrants.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: So you know we were precluded from following that line
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: of questioning.
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: Okay, so two government officials on one side, you got
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: this whistle blow in our now in public, weisstaid, I've
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: been granted ultimate authority over this matter, including responsibility for
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: the setting, where and when whether file charges.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: And I guess, professor to you, who's lying? And how
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: do we figure out?
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Well, that's a good question, because well, you know, the
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: whistleblowers referred to an AUSA named Wolf, and she supposedly
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: told them don't ask about the big guy you and
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: resisted efforts to look into storage units and is even
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: accused of tipping off the Biden team.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Now we don't have any confirmation of that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: We haven't heard from this Ausa, but I would find
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: it strange and Ausa would take it upon herself to
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: set those types of parameters. They had to come from someone,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: and so Congress has every reason to get the answers here.
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: Wis didn't answer them, and so they need to force
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: those answers.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: Now, he just missed this deadline.
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: I think Congress is going to give him a little
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: bit of time, but Congress is not going away these
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: these questions need to be answered these It cannot be
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: more serious in terms of what's being alleged here. It's
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: a deprivation, a total ab abridgment of the rule of law.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: If these allegations are.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Trust question, then Hunter Biden's in court at the end
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: of July, right, I think it's July twenty six, I'm
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: not sure the date. Do you think Republicans in the
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: House can bring Shaply for a public hearing and or
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: force Wiss to appear prior to that date.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Well, the question on the whistleblowers, I think is yes,
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: they probably can bring the whistleblowers in the Department of
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Justice is going to resist. They're going to keep on
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: saying it's an ongoing investigation, which is highly ironic because
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: they extended this investigation so long they ran out of time,
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: so the statue limitations ran on some of these crimes.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: And now they're doing it again, saying, well, it's ongoing,
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: give us some more time. But after that plea comes down,
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: it's going to get harder and harder to convince a
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: court because the Congress is investigating them. It's not trying
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: to relitigate this case. It's investigating the FBI, it's investigating
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: the irs, it's investigating the Biden administration.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: No, it's a bigger deal.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Turley, And the point that he's making, and he
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: made it really I think clear, is that there is
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: so many people that are covering for the Biden crime family.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: They weren't investigating crimes. They were actually slow playing and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: making sure the statute of limitations ran out on the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: most serious crimes, that is corruption. Folks at the highest
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: levels of our government, when you're given the chance to investigate,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and instead of investigating, you do the opposite of that.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: You play defense.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: You do what you can to protect, okay, to protect
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: all of the corruption around you. That is just unheard of,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and that is what they are now doing. They're saying
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna investigate Joe Biden. No, they're not
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: all right, guys. I need you to act like you're
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: investigating Joe Biden and protect him and protect Hunter Biden,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: because that protects Joe Biden. And I need the Statute
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: of limitations to run out on this thing, so I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: need you to I need to just slow walk this
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: for more than five years, because then the Statue of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: limitations will run out on the most serious crimes and
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: then we don't have to worry. That's what they did.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: They didn't investigate. They knew what he did, and they
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: covered it up. They helped him cover it up by
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: just taking as much time as they could possibly take
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to then give you a report.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: It is disgusting.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Now, before I get into more of this story, I
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: want to say thank you and tell you about our

• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden scandal is not the only scandal the White
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: House is now having to deal with.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: There's a new one.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden had a team that was supposed to deal
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: with Iran. It was an envoy. That envoy has now
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: been officially placed under FBI investigation. Not only are they
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: under investigation, but Joe Biden's Iran envoy has now been
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: placed on leave amid security clearance review. Take a listen
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: to this from Fox So when.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: A President Biden's top foreign policy leaders now under FBI
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: investigation over handling of classified information.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Jillian Turner's got the detail. She's in Washington. What's up
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: with this, Jillian?
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Well Bill.
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: It's been over ten days since the Biden administration provided
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: an update on the status of Malle the Special Envoy
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: for Iran. He has been mia on the job now
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: for weeks and reportedly being investigated by the FBI for
• 24:53
  Speaker 8: his handling a classified information. President's closest allies asked this
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: weekend are staying tight lipped. Listen.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Look.
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: I can't share anything about the FBI and what they
• 25:03
  Speaker 9: are or are not doing with regards to the Special Envoy,
• 25:07
  Speaker 9: but there is a lot of concern and interest in Congress,
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: on that committee and others about the status of any
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: potential negotiation with Iran.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: Back on June thirtieth, the White House, asked by reporters, deferred, Listen.
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: Man, this is a personnel issue that's better addressed by
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: our State Department collegues.
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: The day before that, the State Department said this quote.
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: Rob Malle is on leave and Abram Paley is serving
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: as acting Special Envoy for Iran. Recently, Malli held covert
• 25:37
  Speaker 8: meetings with UN officials to talk about the potential for
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: a prisoner exchange. He was also the face of the
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: Biden administration in backroom discussions over Iran's nuclear program. Malle's
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: lifelong friendship with Secretary of State Blincoln, whom he has
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: known since high school, adds an extra layer of sensitivity
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: to these proceedings. Mally himself was last heard from June
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: twenty ninth, said I've been informed that my security clearance
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: is under review. I have not been provided any further information,
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: but I expect the investigation to be resolved favorably and soon.
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: In the meantime, I'm on leave well. As of right now,
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: we have lines out to the White House Stage Department,
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: to DoD and the FBI. No word get on Mallie's status,
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: bill or these reports that he is now facing potentially
• 26:23
  Speaker 8: a criminal investigation.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: It's like everything that the Biden administration can do to
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: hurt America, they do it, or to get kickbacks, they
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: do it. The CBS News division has actually reported on
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: this story because apparently the evidence is just so damning.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: FBI quote looking into Biden Iran envoy Rob Mallee over
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: handling of classified material.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Multiple sources are now.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: Confirming to CBS News the FBI is now looking to
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: President Biden's envoy bm Mallee.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Three sources familiar with the matter have confirmed.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: One source familiar with the matter told CBS News that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the FBI was looking at Mallie's handling of classified material.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: Is unclear if the bureau's examination encompasses other issues.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: There was no indication from this source that the FBI
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: considers it a criminal matter at this point quote unquote.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Congressional intelligence committees are routinely briefed on this type of issue.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: The lawmakers contacted by CBS News decline to comment, citing
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the sensitivity of the matter. As Presidential Envoy four Ran,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Malli was based at the State Department, and his portfolio
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: included both the attempts to resurrect a nuclear agreement with
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Iran as well as negotiate over at least three American
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: citizens who remain wrongfully detained in Tehran. Mallie coordinated closely
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: with both Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln, who you heard
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: in that reports is good for and the White House
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Access Security Council, whose Middle East division is also led
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: by Brett McGirk, frustrated by the lack of information sharing
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: with the congressional committees overseeing the State Department. House Foreign
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Affairs Committee Chairman Mike McCall, a Republican of Texas Senate
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: letter setting a July eleventh deadline for the Department to
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: provide an update. His letter claimed Congress has been misled
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: about the reason for Mally's absence, which has been attributed
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to a family health matter quote unquote early on, we
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: now know that's a lie.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: We take our oversight obligations extremely seriously. The State Department
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: spokesman Matt Miller said today. We obviously got the letter
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: from the chairman. We've been reviewing it, and we will
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: be engaging with his office on the matter. Non faced
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: the Nation on Sunday. Foreign Relations Committee member Senator Chris Coons,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: a Democrat from Delaware. Chris Coons is the same guy
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that had to put together, by the way, David Weiss
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and approved David Weis to be that prosecutor from Delaware,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the attorney from Delaware. Don't forget that said he had
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: not been briefed on Mali's security situation or on any
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: involvement by the FBI. He too called for Congress to
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: be briefed on many Iran related matters, including the status
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: of any potential negotiations with Iran, saying this the Iranians
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: are providing the Russians critical drones ammunitions for their aggression
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: in Ukraine. Kun said on Sunday, I think that puts
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: even greater tension on any possible conversations between the US
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and our allies and Iran, and I do think we
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: need a briefing to update the members of Congress now.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: In a statement emailed to CBS News on June the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: twenty ninth, Mali said that he was on leave after
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: having been informed that his security clearance is under review.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: He said then that he had not been provide any
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: further information about what he referred to as the investigation,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: but said he expects to be resolved favorably in his
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: way very soon. In Malli's absence, his deputy is taking
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: a responsibility to the State Department is not commenting on
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: the matter at all. Miller only reiterated that Rob Malley
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: is on leave and Abram Poly is leading the department's
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: work in this area, adding this, in addition to not
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: commenting on any reports of any investigation, I'm really limited
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: about what more I can say about what is a
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: personal matter due to privacy consideration. It's amazing how quick
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: privacy matters when you're under investigation, right, It's pretty ridiculous.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: The DOJ and the FBI also declined to comment.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: The FBI's involvement was first reported Friday by those who
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: reference the matter as quote an investigation. So not only
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: do you have corruption at the highest levels of the
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Biden crime family, but now a parent you have an
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: investigation into classified materials to the guy that's supposed to
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: be leading America's policy with Iran. Tehran Times is also
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: saying this about an hour ago quote exclusive inside the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Downfall of Rob Mallei. On June thirtieth, Matthew Miller, the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: spokesman for the State Department, somewhat reduced the ambiguity and
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: announced via email to Reuters that Malli had taken a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: leave of absence and those duties would be temporarily assumed
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: by his deputy. According to the US officials, The Teurran
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Time says the Diplomatic Security Department had suspended security clearance.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: What has been disclosed so far has been ambiguous and incomplete.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: US sources say that the sixty year old diplomat has
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: not complied with the law in protecting information. However, according
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: to the published information, it's still unclear whether this was
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: intentional or unintentional negligence. Is not the first diplomat to
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: have a security clearin and suspended, and this has happened before.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: The collection of opinions and news published about his removal
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: indicates extensive and coordinated subterfuge at the highest levels of
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the US government. On May the sixteenth, Winnie Sherman, the
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: US Department Secretary of State, attended a confidential meeting with
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: senators about negotiations with Iran. We are told the US
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy, the deputy Director of
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the National Intelligence Agency, and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, as well as
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: the Director of Strategic and Political Affairs for the Joint
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Chiefs of Staff accompanied Sherman at this confidential meeting. What
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: was noteworthy was the absence of Robert Malley, who was
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the main person in charge of the Iran dossier in
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Some media outlets reported that he'd been
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: taking a two day leave, while others said that he'd
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: taken a long leave. His absence that such an unusual
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: meeting was notable, but the US government insisted on keeping
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: the real reason for his absence confidential, to the extent
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: that even the Senators were not informed of the real reason.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: The issue is of such importance that to date, despite
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: the general announcement of the matter, the exact DATEA. Malley's
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: suspension has not been announced. So if you don't think
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: there's covering up here, then you're also not paying attention.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: This is another scandal and it deals with national security implications,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and what do you bet the Biden administration gets away
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: with this one as well. Don't forget to share a
