elsewhere ░░░░░░░░ provide the documentation of ░░░░░░░░ the FBI in the ░░░░░░░░ made mistakes and there ░░░░░░░░ corruption a cover up ░░░░░░░░ will provide that document ░░░░░░░░ documentation that they can ░░░░░░░░ themselves and not be ░░░░░░░░ to regurgitate a version ░░░░░░░░ what happened in the ░░░░░░░░ truth I made a ░░░░░░░░ to remake confirmation process ░░░░░░░░ we all held we ░░░░░░░░ thousands of pages of ░░░░░░░░ that are been requested ░░░░░░░░ Capitol Hill for the ░░░░░░░░ of Congress to analyze ░░░░░░░░ take back to their ░░░░░░░░ and respond accordingly to ░░░░░░░░ the

trust you ░░░░░░░░ not abuse 1001 but ░░░░░░░░ are not sure they ░░░░░░░░ seen it used it ░░░░░░░░ as useful as a ░░░░░░░░ defense attorney how do ░░░░░░░░ balance that Are been ░░░░░░░░ to my days as ░░░░░░░░ public defender when I ░░░░░░░░ deputy director of national ░░░░░░░░ or chief of staff ░░░░░░░░ Department of Defense all ░░░░░░░░ that formed a unique ░░░░░░░░ there s never been ░░░░░░░░

░░░░░░░░ world and the list ░░░░░░░░ on there the ones ░░░░░░░░ recognize statutes like the ░░░░░░░░ and one that you ░░░░░░░░ talking about to victimize ░░░░░░░░ politicize the statutes on ░░░░░░░░ books in instead of ░░░░░░░░ them against actual criminals ░░░░░░░░ m here to tell ░░░░░░░░ the minute woman that ░░░░░░░░ ve seen at the ░░░░░░░░ and down the field ░░░░░░░░ a bit in the ░░░░░░░░ these four weeks they ░░░░░░░░ use a 1001 charge ░░░░░░░░ for the FBI director ░░░░░░░░ never enforce or interfere ░░░░░░░░ the decision making process ░░░░░░░░ the field investigator in ░░░░░░░░ lion agent said to ░░░░░░░░ on the work on ░░░░░░░░ daily basis they are ░░░░░░░░ pros and I ll ░░░░░░░░ them the resources that ░░░░░░░░ need in the runway ░░░░░░░░ they need one thing ░░░░░░░░ I learned

░░░░░░░░ of justice built on ░░░░░░░░ foundation of trust and ░░░░░░░░ s what the FBI ░░░░░░░░ when I worked with ░░░░░░░░ 20 years ago it ░░░░░░░░ never any talk about ░░░░░░░░ it was bank robbers ░░░░░░░░ kidnappers and gangs and ░░░░░░░░ it was all about ░░░░░░░░ but public perception started ░░░░░░░░ slip because the foundation ░░░░░░░░ trust began to crumble ░░░░░░░░ FBI director James Comey ░░░░░░░░ the FBI did not ░░░░░░░░ a hoot about politics ░░░░░░░░ the actions told a ░░░░░░░░ different story At one ░░░░░░░░ the FBI had major ░░░░░░░░ candidates under investigation even

░░░░░░░░ him if he did ░░░░░░░░ FBI lawyers and agents ░░░░░░░░ the FISA court and ░░░░░░░░ employee altered evidence to ░░░░░░░░ surveillance against an enemy ░░░░░░░░ bought major investigations like ░░░░░░░░ and rape cases against ░░░░░░░░ pundits perhaps nothing encapsulates ░░░░░░░░ happened to the bureau ░░░░░░░░ what James Comey himself ░░░░░░░░ when he admitted he ░░░░░░░░ a Republican president differently ░░░░░░░░ worse than he would ░░░░░░░░ Democrat president Christopher Wray ░░░░░░░░ brought into a clean ░░░░░░░░ the FBI the speaker ░░░░░░░░ house and tell I ░░░░░░░░ can be

░░░░░░░░ of justice built on ░░░░░░░░ foundation of trust and ░░░░░░░░ s what the FBI ░░░░░░░░ when I worked with ░░░░░░░░ 20 years ago it ░░░░░░░░ never any talk about ░░░░░░░░ it was bank robbers ░░░░░░░░ kidnappers and gangs and ░░░░░░░░ it was all about ░░░░░░░░ but public perception started ░░░░░░░░ slip because the foundation ░░░░░░░░ trust began to crumble ░░░░░░░░ FBI director James Comey ░░░░░░░░ the FBI did not ░░░░░░░░ a hoot about politics ░░░░░░░░ the actions told a ░░░░░░░░ different story At one ░░░░░░░░ the FBI had major ░░░░░░░░ candidates under investigation even

like ░░░░░░░░ and rape cases against ░░░░░░░░ pundits perhaps nothing encapsulates ░░░░░░░░ happened to the bureau ░░░░░░░░ what James Comey himself ░░░░░░░░ when he admitted he ░░░░░░░░ a Republican president differently ░░░░░░░░ worse than he would ░░░░░░░░ Democrat president Christopher Wray ░░░░░░░░ brought into a clean ░░░░░░░░ the FBI the speaker ░░░░░░░░ house and tell I ░░░░░░░░ can be

░░░░░░░░ of justice built on ░░░░░░░░ foundation of trust and ░░░░░░░░ s what the FBI ░░░░░░░░ when I worked with ░░░░░░░░ 20 years ago it ░░░░░░░░ never any talk about ░░░░░░░░ it was bank robbers ░░░░░░░░ kidnappers and gangs and ░░░░░░░░ it was all about ░░░░░░░░ but public perception started ░░░░░░░░ slip because the foundation ░░░░░░░░ trust began to crumble ░░░░░░░░ FBI director James Comey ░░░░░░░░ the FBI did not ░░░░░░░░ a hoot about politics ░░░░░░░░ the actions told a ░░░░░░░░ different story At one ░░░░░░░░ the FBI had major ░░░░░░░░ candidates under investigation even ░░░░░░░░ the fairness was lacking ░░░░░░░░ Strzok was in charge ░░░░░░░░ investigating a man he ░░░░░░░░ personally and politically agents ░░░░░░░░ how to prevent Trump ░░░░░░░░ winning or how to ░░░░░░░░ him if he did ░░░░░░░░ FBI lawyers and agents ░░░░░░░░ the FISA court and ░░░░░░░░ employee altered evidence to ░░░░░░░░ surveillance against an enemy ░░░░░░░░ bought major investigations like ░░░░░░░░ and rape cases against ░░░░░░░░ pundits perhaps nothing encapsulates ░░░░░░░░ happened to the bureau ░░░░░░░░ what James Comey himself ░░░░░░░░ when he admitted he ░░░░░░░░ a Republican president differently ░░░░░░░░ worse than he would ░░░░░░░░ Democrat president Christopher Wray ░░░░░░░░ brought into a clean ░░░░░░░░ the FBI the speaker ░░░░░░░░ house and tell I ░░░░░░░░ can be part of ░░░░░░░░ crew or part of ░░░░░░░░ cover of crew but ░░░░░░░░ changed when Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ elected the second time ░░░░░░░░ Wray reside in President ░░░░░░░░ picked a federal prosecutor ░░░░░░░░ also happen to be ░░░░░░░░ that enter public defender ░░░░░░░░ task is the end ░░░░░░░░ challenging But essential restore ░░░░░░░░ trust in the bureau ░░░░░░░░ the bureau that is ░░░░░░░░

safeguard our citizenry ░░░░░░░░ way of life and ░░░░░░░░ investigate those that do ░░░░░░░░ to our citizenry right ░░░░░░░░ the major portion of ░░░░░░░░ focus is on sex ░░░░░░░░ fentanyl and

░░░░░░░░ FBI It s not ░░░░░░░░ putting handcuffs on the ░░░░░░░░ guys I want to ░░░░░░░░ the cops be good ░░░░░░░░ across his country at ░░░░░░░░ primary focus of mine ░░░░░░░░ important parable track constitutional ░░░░░░░░ oversight is critical to ░░░░░░░░ to Capitol Hill where ░░░░░░░░ report as FBI to ░░░░░░░░ committee of jurisdiction and ░░░░░░░░ in intel and elsewhere ░░░░░░░░ provide the documentation of ░░░░░░░░ the FBI in the ░░░░░░░░ made mistakes and there ░░░░░░░░ corruption a cover up ░░░░░░░░ will provide that document ░░░░░░░░ documentation that they can ░░░░░░░░ themselves and not be ░░░░░░░░ to regurgitate a version ░░░░░░░░ what happened in the ░░░░░░░░ truth I made a ░░░░░░░░ to remake confirmation process ░░░░░░░░ we all held we ░░░░░░░░ thousands of pages of ░░░░░░░░ that are been requested ░░░░░░░░ Capitol Hill for the ░░░░░░░░ of Congress to analyze ░░░░░░░░ take back to their ░░░░░░░░ and respond accordingly to ░░░░░░░░ the constitutional oversight

░░░░░░░░ let me ask you ░░░░░░░░ thing obviously agents need ░░░░░░░░ to cooperate especially witnesses ░░░░░░░░ sometimes subjects but the ░░░░░░░░ has fallen in love ░░░░░░░░ a 1001 cases which ░░░░░░░░ a false statement How ░░░░░░░░ you distinguish what happened ░░░░░░░░ Mike flynn with a ░░░░░░░░ 1001 cases in FBI ░░░░░░░░ called a mutual friend ░░░░░░░░ both of ours recently ░░░░░░░░ said I want to ░░░░░░░░ to about something you ░░░░░░░░ not related and our ░░░░░░░░ said you ll talk ░░░░░░░░ Kash Patel but probably ░░░░░░░░ one else which told ░░░░░░░░ that they trust you ░░░░░░░░ not abuse 1001 but ░░░░░░░░ are not sure they ░░░░░░░░ seen it used it ░░░░░░░░ as useful as a ░░░░░░░░ defense attorney how do ░░░░░░░░ balance that Are been ░░░░░░░░ to my days as ░░░░░░░░ public defender when I ░░░░░░░░ deputy director of national ░░░░░░░░ or chief of staff ░░░░░░░░ Department of Defense all ░░░░░░░░ that formed a unique ░░░░░░░░ there s never been ░░░░░░░░ public defender
