The FBI’s 21 begins its counterintelligence operation 22 against Team Trump began in the 23 summer of 2016. Let’s spotlight the key 24 players at the time. 25 26 Video/Graphics (Sound Effect) 27 28 Video/Graphics James Comey is the Director of the FBI. 29 He’d later sign off on 3 FISA warrant 30 applications against the TEAM Trump. 31 Yet he knew the evidence given the FISA 32 Court was the phony Trump Dossier. 33 While he targeted trump with false 34 evidence, he ignored real evidence against 35 Clinton. 36 37 Video/Graphics July 5th, 2016. Comey stepped to the 38 podium to exonerate Clinton of her illegal 39 handling of classified email. 40 41 James Comey JC We cannot find a case that would 42 FBI Director support bringing criminal charges 43 July 5, 2016 on these facts. 44 45 Video/Graphics FBI documents now reveal he wrote the 46 that speech months before the FBI even 47 interviewed Clinton or her collaborators. 2 48 So, his investigation was as phony as the 49 Trump Dossier. 50 51 Lights Display (Sound Effect) 52 53 Video/Graphics Andrew McCabe is Deputy Director of the 54 FBI. He would later sign off on one of the 55 FISA warrant applications. This is yet 56 another example where the FBI misled 57 the FISA Court by using information from 58 the phony Dossier. 59 60 Lights Display (Sound Effect) 61 62 Video/Graphics Comey and McCabe sit atop the FBI. 63 Down the chain of command we find the 64 bureau’s National Security Branch. where 65 Bill Presistap is in charge of the counter- 66 intelligence division. 67 68 Video/Graphics (Sound Effect) 69 70 Video/Graphics Preistap assigned Peter Strzok to lead the 71 the FBI’s counter intelligence operations 72 against Team Trump. Strzok is the agent 73 who led the sham Clinton email 74 investigation. The same Strzok who 75 exchanged anti-trump, pro Hillary text 76 messages with his mistress, DOJ attorney 77 Lisa Page working at the FBI. 78 79 Video/Graphics He wrote Trump is an idiot. 80 She described Trump as loathsome. 81 When Struck was going to interview 82 Clinton, Page advised he go easy on her 83 She might be our next president. The last 84 thing you need/us going in there loaded 85 for bear. It was a warning not to grill her 86 because she’ll remember who did it .. 87 Agreed Strzok replied. 88 89 Video/Graphics These two traded thousands of messages. 90 One of the most troubling suggested a 91 scheme against Trump. 92 93 "I want to believe the path you threw out 94 for consideration in Andy's office that 95 there's no way he gets elected -- but I'm 96 afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an 3 97 insurance policy in the unlikely event you 98 die before you're 40 . . . 99 100 Video/Graphics The “Andy “ referred to in the text is 101 presumably Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s #2 102 man. The insurance policy was the FISA 103 warrant they received in order to spy on 104 Team Trump. They hoped it would turn 105 up evidence to smear him before the 106 election or force him from office if he won. 107 108 Video/Graphics Let’s take another look at the FBI’s 109 scheme team. Comey. McCabe. Preistap. 110 Strzok. And Page. We’ll explore their fate 111 later but first let’s take a look at the 112 Justice Department across the street... 113 where Loretta Lynch is Attorney General. 114 She instructs FBI Director Comey to call 115 the Hillary Clinton probe a “matter.” 116 As he later explained to Congress. 117 118 James Comey JC And I wanted to know was she 119 FBI Director going to authorize us to confirm 120 June 8, 2017 we had an investigation. And she 121 Testimony before Senate said “Yes, but don’t call it that. 122 Intelligence Committee Call it a matter.” And I said “why 123 would I do that? And she said, 124 “just call it a matter.” 125 126 Video/Graphics The Clinton probe is further tainted when 127 local news caught Lynch meeting with Bill 128 Clinton at the Phoenix airport. 129 130 Local News Reporter “ABC 15 has confirmed former president 131 Bill Clinton was in town and met up with 132 U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch as 133 she was arriving in Phoenix. 134 135 Video/Graphics She claimed they did not discuss his 136 wife’s ”matter.” 137 138 Loretta Lynch LL Our conversation was a great 139 U.S. Attorney General deal about his grandchildren. 140 It was primarily social and 141 about our travels. 142 143 Video/Graphics (Sound Effect) 144 4 145 Video/Graphics Lynch’s Deputy Attorney General is Sally 146 Yates. She’d signed off on one of the FISA 147 warrant applications. That warrant, like 148 all the others, misled the court by relying 149 on information from the discredited 150 dossier. Lynch and Yates are atop the 151 Justice Department. Moving down the 152 chain of command we find the DOJ’s 153 National Security Division. 154 155 Video/Graphics John Carlin is in charge here. He’s an 156 assistant attorney general. His 157 fingerprints would be on any DOJ FISA 158 warrant applications and surveillance ops. 159 What was Carlin up to? 160 161 Video/Graphics Enter Michael Horowitz, The Justice 162 Department’s Inspector General.He 163 wanted to audit Carlin’s division. But 164 Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said 165 no. And explained why in a 58 page memo. 166 Why was Yates blocking an audit? 167 168 Video/Graphics This FISA Court memo and order provide 169 the clues. It details illegal surveillance 170 of US citizens that occurred while Carlin 171 was in charge. 172 173 Joe DiGenova JD Once this material was submitted 174 To the court, 175 JD revealing the violations of the law, 176 Carlin resigned. 177 178 Video/Graphics Carlin reported the Illegal spying to the 179 FISA Court on September 26, 2016 180 And the next day he announced his 181 resignation, as reported by the 182 Washington Post. 183 184 Video/Graphics The Scheme Team is long gone from the 185 corner of 9th and Pennsylvania but some 186 of them may soon have a date at the 187 Federal Courthouse a few blocks away. 188 This is John Spiropoulos reporting. 189 190 191
