Tim O’Brien: ‘The Grand Conspiracy’ Involves the Current W.H., DOJ and FBI As Servants to Trump’s ‘Revenge and Retribution Tour’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT Is here ░░░░░░░░ react to their out ░░░░░░░░ touch remarks But we ░░░░░░░░ with that Breaking news ░░░░░░░░ reports that former FBI ░░░░░░░░ James Comey has been ░░░░░░░░ quote in the wide ░░░░░░░░ grand conspiracy case against ░░░░░░░░ ex officials who investigated ░░░░░░░░ prosecuted President Trump two ░░░░░░░░ with knowledge of the ░░░░░░░░ tell Axios U S ░░░░░░░░ judge Aileen Cannon the ░░░░░░░░ appointee who tossed out ░░░░░░░░ Smith s classified documents ░░░░░░░░ against the president Well ░░░░░░░░ s now overseeing the ░░░░░░░░ jury that issued this ░░░░░░░░ The grand jury is ░░░░░░░░ in the southern district ░░░░░░░░ Florida according to Axios ░░░░░░░░ it comes after an ░░░░░░░░ prosecution of Comey failed ░░░░░░░░ the eastern district of ░░░░░░░░ so far according to ░░░░░░░░ this investigation quote has ░░░░░░░░ more than 130 subpoenas ░░░░░░░░ sources say and targets ░░░░░░░░ officials who worked under ░░░░░░░░ presidents Obama and Biden ░░░░░░░░ officials including Comey have ░░░░░░░░ decried the investigation as ░░░░░░░░ persecution and lawfare This ░░░░░░░░ unquote grand conspiracy posits ░░░░░░░░ democratic officials bent the ░░░░░░░░ broke the law and ░░░░░░░░ under oath to investigate ░░░░░░░░ and otherwise undermine Trump ░░░░░░░░ his election in 2016 ░░░░░░░░ his federal indictments in ░░░░░░░░ I want to be ░░░░░░░░ clear there is no ░░░░░░░░ evidence to support that ░░░░░░░░ And let s to ░░░░░░░░ clear this retribution effort ░░░░░░░░ t just about settling ░░░░░░░░ for Trump No it ░░░░░░░░ also part of a ░░░░░░░░ effort to undermine trust ░░░░░░░░ the 2026 midterms and ░░░░░░░░ Joining us now is ░░░░░░░░ federal prosecutor brenda belew ░░░░░░░░ s the founder of ░░░░░░░░ public integrity project And ░░░░░░░░ s now political analyst ░░░░░░░░ O Brien is also ░░░░░░░░ us He s also ░░░░░░░░ executive editor of bloomberg ░░░░░░░░ Brendan belew I mean ░░░░░░░░ have tried this out ░░░░░░░░ court It has failed ░░░░░░░░ and over again in ░░░░░░░░ I get that it ░░░░░░░░ really hot on the ░░░░░░░░ but the fact that ░░░░░░░░ are choosing to double ░░░░░░░░ on this what does ░░░░░░░░ tell you about where ░░░░░░░░ thinking is I think ░░░░░░░░ tells you that they ░░░░░░░░ more or less given ░░░░░░░░ on their efforts in ░░░░░░░░ eastern district of Virginia ░░░░░░░░ as you know and ░░░░░░░░ your viewers know really ░░░░░░░░ in their prosecutions of ░░░░░░░░ Comey and Letitia James ░░░░░░░░ know those cases basically ░░░░░░░░ had about a half ░░░░░░░░ reasons to fall apart ░░░░░░░░ fell apart on just ░░░░░░░░ of them So even ░░░░░░░░ that gets revived on ░░░░░░░░ there s all sorts ░░░░░░░░ reasons why that could ░░░░░░░░ So it seems like ░░░░░░░░ ve tried to move ░░░░░░░░ effort to go after ░░░░░░░░ s political opponents in ░░░░░░░░ potentially more favorable jurisdiction ░░░░░░░░ southern district of Florida ░░░░░░░░ even from the get ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ challenges starting with that ░░░░░░░░ question which is you ░░░░░░░░ if this is a ░░░░░░░░ conspiracy about an investigation ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump in the ░░░░░░░░ election and let s ░░░░░░░░ for the hypothetical that ░░░░░░░░ the things that they ░░░░░░░░ alleging are true Well ░░░░░░░░ those crimes occurred in ░░░░░░░░ D C not in ░░░░░░░░ southern district of Florida ░░░░░░░░ right out of the ░░░░░░░░ you re going to ░░░░░░░░ a jurisdictional problem But ░░░░░░░░ top of that you ░░░░░░░░ going to have some ░░░░░░░░ of limitation problems which ░░░░░░░░ let s assume that ░░░░░░░░ that they re alleging ░░░░░░░░ investigating was in fact ░░░░░░░░ crime Those would have ░░░░░░░░ crimes that occurred nearly ░░░░░░░░ decade ago Most federal ░░░░░░░░ of limitations are five ░░░░░░░░ So you know it ░░░░░░░░ like they re struggling ░░░░░░░░ their old jurisdiction It ░░░░░░░░ like they re going ░░░░░░░░ struggle in this jurisdiction ░░░░░░░░ I guess from my ░░░░░░░░ a lot of this ░░░░░░░░ is the typical father ░░░░░░░░ know counsel here is ░░░░░░░░ laid out the legal ░░░░░░░░ that this this made ░░░░░░░░ prosecution or investigation or ░░░░░░░░ the hell they call ░░░░░░░░ What did you say ░░░░░░░░ was simone A grand ░░░░░░░░ Grand conspiracy Grand conspiracy ░░░░░░░░ Okay The grand conspiracy ░░░░░░░░ place but no one ░░░░░░░░ a about Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ no one thought he ░░░░░░░░ going to win the ░░░░░░░░ in 2016 including Donald ░░░░░░░░ So all this grand ░░░░░░░░ to take out a ░░░░░░░░ who nobody thought was ░░░░░░░░ to win no one ░░░░░░░░ that kind of energy ░░░░░░░░ this man The most ░░░░░░░░ was focused around the ░░░░░░░░ Axios the access Hollywood ░░░░░░░░ thing I mean so ░░░░░░░░ point is why are ░░░░░░░░ here And I think ░░░░░░░░ think the politics is ░░░░░░░░ this more than the ░░░░░░░░ I think Epstein files ░░░░░░░░ this I think a ░░░░░░░░ about administration in in ░░░░░░░░ drives a lot of ░░░░░░░░ this sort of hook ░░░░░░░░ ladder this sort of ░░░░░░░░ what we can to ░░░░░░░░ to put the fire ░░░░░░░░ on our terms when ░░░░░░░░ is no fire Makes ░░░░░░░░ sense to me Help ░░░░░░░░ make sense As my ░░░░░░░░ simone would say Well ░░░░░░░░ think the grand Conspiracy ░░░░░░░░ doesn t involve Jim ░░░░░░░░ or or anyone else ░░░░░░░░ grand conspiracy here involves ░░░░░░░░ current White House the ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department and the ░░░░░░░░ FBI And and what ░░░░░░░░ re essentially doing is ░░░░░░░░ are you know servants ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump s effort ░░░░░░░░ go on a revenge ░░░░░░░░ retribution tour That s ░░░░░░░░ most of this You ░░░░░░░░ there s three big ░░░░░░░░ there There s obviously ░░░░░░░░ you know the russiagate ░░░░░░░░ back in Trump s ░░░░░░░░ term And then the ░░░░░░░░ subsequent investigations the classified ░░░░░░░░ investigation and the 2020 ░░░░░░░░ investigation they re all ░░░░░░░░ But if you just ░░░░░░░░ at what Comey appears ░░░░░░░░ be being subpoenaed about ░░░░░░░░ is is that first ░░░░░░░░ investigation on russiagate Remember ░░░░░░░░ the FBI s own ░░░░░░░░ general Michael Horowitz investigated ░░░░░░░░ fact pattern around all ░░░░░░░░ this with the support ░░░░░░░░ Republicans in Congress and ░░░░░░░░ Trump in the White ░░░░░░░░ And in 2019 he ░░░░░░░░ a report saying that ░░░░░░░░ FBI s investigation wasn ░░░░░░░░ motivated by political bias ░░░░░░░░ they proceeded by and ░░░░░░░░ with some flaws in ░░░░░░░░ very straightforward manner The ░░░░░░░░ sort of rabbit he ░░░░░░░░ pull out of his ░░░░░░░░ was that the Steele ░░░░░░░░ was used inappropriately to ░░░░░░░░ a FISA warrant against ░░░░░░░░ Page one Long ago ░░░░░░░░ of the Trump circle ░░░░░░░░ was the only meaningful ░░░░░░░░ the Steele Dossier played ░░░░░░░░ role in any of ░░░░░░░░ It wasn t Anything ░░░░░░░░ do with that by ░░░░░░░░ way just So we ░░░░░░░░ clear I know different ░░░░░░░░ I got different My ░░░░░░░░ everyone thought I was ░░░░░░░░ Steele Wasn t me ░░░░░░░░ re everywhere Michael It ░░░░░░░░ Christopher Steele But this ░░░░░░░░ been amply investigated There ░░░░░░░░ no there there And ░░░░░░░░ in fact there were ░░░░░░░░ good reasons for the ░░░░░░░░ government to be concerned ░░░░░░░░ Trump and the Trump ░░░░░░░░ s intersection with Russians ░░░░░░░░ computers were hacked during ░░░░░░░░ 2016 campaign Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ son Jared Kushner and ░░░░░░░░ Manafort met with a ░░░░░░░░ lawyer in Trump Tower ░░░░░░░░ claimed to have dirt ░░░░░░░░ Hillary Clinton Vladimir Putin ░░░░░░░░ signed off on internet ░░░░░░░░ who were planting fake ░░░░░░░░ on us websites All ░░░░░░░░ this It didn t ░░░░░░░░ to a criminal conspiracy ░░░░░░░░ it did amount to ░░░░░░░░ very vivid intersection that ░░░░░░░░ an examination by federal ░░░░░░░░ And they were just ░░░░░░░░ their job I just ░░░░░░░░ to play Marco Rubio ░░░░░░░░ the intel community s ░░░░░░░░ in 2018 saying that ░░░░░░░░ never had any doubt ░░░░░░░░ a listen The intelligence ░░░░░░░░ has assembled probably an ░░░░░░░░ amount of evidence in ░░░░░░░░ to the Russian not ░░░░░░░░ efforts to interfere in ░░░░░░░░ but ongoing efforts to ░░░░░░░░ in American society I ░░░░░░░░ you back to October ░░░░░░░░ 2016 I was running ░░░░░░░░ re election and these ░░░░░░░░ wikileak issues were coming ░░░░░░░░ and I said I ░░░░░░░░ t talk about it ░░░░░░░░ it was the work ░░░░░░░░ an foreign intelligence agency ░░░░░░░░ the time I still ░░░░░░░░ while we may have ░░░░░░░░ aware of who it ░░░░░░░░ I wasn t clear ░░░░░░░░ how that would be ░░░░░░░░ But I ve never ░░░░░░░░ any doubt So we ░░░░░░░░ see if Marco Rubio ░░░░░░░░ now that he is ░░░░░░░░ national security advisor slash ░░░░░░░░ of state slash whatever ░░░░░░░░ jobs they re going ░░░░░░░░ give him.
