00:00Some big breaking news. You're going to get it here first because you're Real America's Voice
00:04fans and you watch just the news. Earlier today, the FBI under Kash Patel turned over to Congress
00:11700 pages of Crossfire Hurricane documents, unredacted and declassified. These are the
00:17documents President Trump intended to be released in January 2021, but the FBI scooped them up,
00:23kept them from going to public release. We sued, tried to fight for them. Donald Trump came back
00:28into office and he released them a second time. And today they got to Congress and then they ended
00:32up in the hands of just the news. And in just an hour, you're going to see our first story. I'm
00:37going to give you a time table, 7 p.m. Our first story is going to come out on just the news.com
00:41at 8 p.m. We're going to give all the documents one by one and post them onto the website. So you
00:47have a sort of Wikipedia, Wikimedia wiki to go look through the documents yourself. You find some good
00:52stories, let us know at just the news and we'll go pursue them. We're going to tell you about one
00:57right now. Perhaps the most important thing in the documents that we found early on, one of the
01:02two informants that were used by the FBI to spy or to snitch on Donald Trump and his campaign was
01:09named Stefan Halper. He's not the most famous. Christopher Steele, the guy that wrote the dossier,
01:13he's the most famous. But Stefan Halper was used quite a bit by the FBI. In fact, he was used for
01:18three decades by the FBI. And it turns out snitching is a pretty lucrative profession. He got paid nearly
01:23$1.2 million by the FBI to be a confidential human source from the early 1990s to 2017.
01:33The last of those payments, $70,000 for his work snitching on the Trump campaign and the
01:39crossfire hurricane early investigation. Now, why? What are we going to tell you about it?
01:43It turns out that he got that money and he kept being used by the FBI and he kept being validated
01:48as reliable, even though the FBI detected he had given them an inaccurate, false or disprovable story.
01:54What is it? He's the guy that told the FBI that Mike Flynn, soon to be Donald Trump's national
01:59security advisor in the fall of 2016, back in 2014, had left a conference, an overseas conference,
02:07while he was a three-star general and the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency,
02:10alone with a Russian woman. Now, the FBI determined that was implausible and inaccurate. In fact,
02:17Mike Flynn's own security detail would never have left him alone. He was a three-star general and the
02:23head of the Intelligence Agency. He was always guarded by people. They determined it was unreliable,
02:28not true, inaccurate, not plausible. But guess what? They kept using him to keep digging further and
02:35further into people like George Papadopoulos and Carter Page and others. We're going to get all
02:40this up for you to read. We want your own eyes on it. You look at it, you see it at justinnews.com,
02:457 p.m. Once we get off the show, the first story will be up. There'll be all the documents listed
02:49in chronological order or by titles. You can go do your own sleuthing tonight. We give you a homework
02:53assignment. All right. Mr. Chairman, the evolution of this story has been incredible and we are now
02:57finally getting to the place. Thanks to folks like you and John Solomon, we're finally getting to the
03:02place where people realize what went haywire, what was true and not true. The Democrats on your committee,
03:08as you guys are examining these documents and seeking out subpoenaing documents, are you finding
03:13that they are as willing as you are to take a good look and maybe have a little bit of come to
03:20Jesus moments where they say, man, we didn't realize this? We have not seen that yet. You know,
03:26you can always hope. You can always hope that's the case. But I always like to start with,
03:32remember the basics here. You had a presidential campaign, the Clinton campaign, who had hired a
03:39law firm. The law firm then went and hired Fusion GPS, a public relations firm, who then went and hired
03:47a foreigner, Christopher Steele, who then went out and put together a false document, who then the FBI,
03:56Jim Comey, used a false document as a basis to get warrants to go spy on President Trump's campaign.
04:02That, to my knowledge, has never happened in American history, but it did. And it was all driven
04:07by money from the other campaign and lie to run the opposing campaign, you know, to run a spy
04:16operation on the opposing campaign. And now what we have in this release is we have some of the 302s.
04:21We have the 1023s. The 302s are where the Mueller FBI, though, during the Mueller investigation,
04:27the special counsel interviewed Christopher Steele. So we can look exactly what was said there. Even
04:31though we've gotten a lot of that information in the Mueller report and everything else, you actually
04:34have the 302. And then you have the 1023s where Steele's handler was talking with Steele and reporting
04:41that information, which we know was garbage, but you actually have those documents.
04:46So we think that's something new that we've gotten here in this release from Director Patel.
04:53Sir, you're working on a continuing pattern of this. So in the 16 Democratic campaign,
04:5860 FBI on their opponent, Donald Trump. In 2021, it's the White House, Joe Biden's White House,
05:04his general counsel's office, that's sticking the FBI and even grabbing President Trump's old phone and
05:09turning it over with executive privilege claims and others, notwithstanding, to the FBI to sicken
05:15on him again. It seems like the cycle just kept going. Yeah, it did. I mean, this is lawfare. This
05:20is this is politics jumping into our justice system, which is not supposed to happen. I mean,
05:26and of course, that could sort of culminate then the raid on his home. And then the for what for at
05:32least from the two indictments from Jack Smith. And I think you almost have to lump in the even though
05:36there are state cases, the Alvin Bragg and Fonnie Willis is all part of this effort. We know
05:41Nathan Wade was coming here and talking with people in Washington related to the investigation
05:48there in Fulton County, Georgia. So yeah, it's all part of this lawfare using using the law to
05:56go against your political opponents. But this sort of start of it was exactly what you uncovered way
06:01back when was when the Clinton campaign, Perkins Coie, Fusion GPS, then Christopher Steele putting
06:08together the dossier. Yeah, it's so important. And you know, Peter and the great team at GA,
06:14they really found the first original story. Democrats, they say they're all against Russia,
06:17Russia, Russia. But in 2009, they were the Russia lovers. They were resetting. They were taking $500,000
06:24speech, speech, speech fees. They had John Podesta's company getting Russian backing. Everybody was
06:31making out great with Russia until it invaded Ukraine. If it weren't for GAI and Peter Schweitzer,
06:36we probably wouldn't have known that part of the story. We wouldn't know that part of the story.
06:41We wouldn't know the words like Skolkovo, which is basically Russia's effort to create their own
06:46Silicon Valley, which, as you noted, paid companies that brought on John Podesta. And so ultimately,
06:52what happened is this reporting was so far reaching. And you know, I traveled to Haiti as part of the
06:58research team for Clinton Cash and talked about how Hillary's brother made money off of a Haitian gold
07:03mine. I mean, the Clintons were so shameless, John, just making money in Haiti and in Russia.
07:08Only the Clintons have that far reaching tentacles of like basically a global ATM. But they realized,
07:15hey, we have a real problem. And so what they did is they fabricated, they used their campaign
07:20attorney, Mark Elias, who is his own walking scandal machine. And you know, they hired Fusion GPS and
07:26they fabricate this whole Russian narrative. And then that Russian narrative was used to attempt
07:32to deny Donald Trump the 2016 election. And then, of course, successfully was used to deny him the 2020
07:37election. Because as we now know, thanks to the reporting about an FBI gag order, you know, they
07:43said, oh, this is Russian disinformation. So this Russian story has stuck with Trump campaign. But
07:48because of your work and the work that we've done here at the Government Accountability Institute,
07:51we now know is totally fabricated. Eric, I want to ask you, we were talking at the top of the show
07:56about Stefan Halper and his role as a confidential human source and what certainly appears to be either
08:03being egregiously wrong or lying about General Flynn. What motivation would the FBI have to keep someone
08:11like that on the payroll, to continue using them to glean information, to glean sourcing
08:17from investigations? Why would they keep someone like that?
08:21Yeah, I think three letters, TDS, and it's Trump derangement syndrome. Clearly,
08:26it doesn't matter if the information is correct. I mean, what is the ultimate story and the lesson
08:30from the Russiagate fiasco? It doesn't matter if the information is true, if we like the meaning
08:36that it imparts and we like the impact it has politically. So the fact that this guy is making
08:401.8 million dollars, even though he's clearly not telling the truth, I mean, look at some of the
08:45information we now know because of the work that's been done in the Hunter Biden investigation,
08:49they overlooked whistleblowers and testimony. People are saying, look, I was on the phone with
08:53Hunter Biden and Ukrainian executives who said Joe Biden wanted to be bribed, and that information was
09:00overlooked. Meanwhile, people like this are straight taking cash from U.S. intelligence officials,
09:06despite a track record of dishonesty or inaccuracy at best. It just speaks to how deep-seated
09:12the deep state effort to block a Trump presidency and candidacy was.
09:16Yeah, such a great point. And it also shows how lucrative that snitching for the government,
09:20being a confidential human source or informant, as we call them, can be. 1.2 million dollars going
09:25back to 1991, 70 or 80 grand just to do some conversations for the FBI in 2016 and 17 related
09:33to Russia collusion. You get this sense that they know there was a problem with Stefan Halpert's story,
09:39allegation. You might have been wrong, might have not been. But normally that becomes a
09:43reliability issue. Normally there's a process called the validation process that goes back
09:48and decides, should we keep using a guy like this? That requires the input that you know that he didn't
09:53tell an accurate story. But when you go through the validation reports that have been released here,
09:57Eric, there's no mention of the fact that he had a problem with the story, and they just keep
10:01passing him down the line for more informing. It seems like confidential human sources are still a weak
10:07spot for the FBI. Yeah, I guess the information is only as good as the accuracy of the people that
10:13are relaying it. No, you're absolutely right. This is a big problem for the FBI. It's one of the reasons
10:18why I think your book with Seamus was so important. And I think that, look, we've now seen subsequent
10:24emails come out and say you have FBI officials, as you well know, say, look, we'll do anything to
10:29essentially stop Donald Trump. We excuse behavior as long as we deem the political impact to be
10:35correct. Remember, just going back to Clinton Cash for a second, the reporting we had on Hillary
10:40Clinton's relationship with Russia wasn't just stuff that was in that book. That information
10:44was given to the New York Times, the Washington Post, Bloomberg, ABC News. Those are legitimate
10:51mainstream outlets, and they all built upon it and independently reported on it. And then only after
10:57Donald Trump was elected, partly because of the information in Clinton Cash, did all of those
11:01mainstream news outlets essentially do a public mea culpa, a gnashing of teeth, a wearing of sackcloth,
11:08and said, I can't believe we were used by this duplicitous Government Accountability Institute,
11:13even though the information that we reported was absolutely correct, unlike the information
11:17of these confidential informants. But because the net effect of the information was undesirable
11:23politically, we were shunned. Meanwhile, fraudulent FBI informants are elevated. It just speaks to how
11:30broken the economy from an information and political standpoint is in our intelligence agencies.
