The Proof Is In The Emails | Episode 161

27:42Another thing, and I will say, I'm not saying this from a position of bitterness. I'm just saying this from a pragmatic position. I've offered Winsome Sears and I've interviewed her many times in the past so I'm a little confused by this but I have offered Winsome Sears the opportunity to come on both this program as well as my national radio show and she hasn't taken me up on it that offer has been long standing we've reached out a ton she's done some interviews but the reality is she just didn't appear on one of the biggest possible platforms where she could to get her message out and perhaps do some fundraising to support her campaign there's really again only so much I can do on this front.

28:21I, I, and I continue to support her. I'm voting for her. I, I, I think she should be the next governor of Virginia. Uh, and so, uh, again, I say that not with bitterness, just with, uh, just a, just a pragmatic reality that, um, this is a missed opportunity for her. Uh, and, um, I think it would have been very wise for her to appear on my program, but it is what it is. When some Sears, uh, running in that race trailing right now, against Abigail Spanberger, who I worry a lot about what she's going to do to Virginia. You know, Spanberger, her plan is to make Virginia a sanctuary state. She wants to protect illegal aliens in the state.

29:04Her goal is to raise taxes, to make Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia, a historic state. Much of it Trump country. Honestly, other than Northern Virginia, most of Virginia is Trump country. And Abigail Spanberger has some very awful designs for that state. And so if this thing goes the way the polls are suggesting today, Virginians are going to have a slog ahead of them as they have to deal with an Abigail Spanberger governorship. Now, there is a glimmer of hope, speaking of glimmers of hope today, in the attorney general's race because you've got Jason Miara the current attorney general, the incumbent attorney general, running for the same seat yet again.

29:47There are a number of surveys indicating that Jason Millares does have a slight advantage in the race. This is over Jay Jones. Jay Jones is the violent, violent Democrat with all of those violent fantasies about putting bullets in the heads of Republicans, killing their children, and seeing police officers killed in order to achieve deranged political changes. in the United States. That man should be nowhere near the attorney general's office. In fact, he should be in a straitjacket. And yet, right now, that race is close enough to be disheartening. But this is, let me tell you something right now.

30:27If you are in the Commonwealth, and if the polls are still open as you're listening to this, you have to get out in Virginia and vote for Jason Meares and these other Republicans on the ticket. You have to. You are compelled to. But if you've got any conscience whatsoever, not only do you have to get out, you've got to get everybody you know out because this is achievable. I'm telling you, even if there's a Democrat governor, if you have a Republican attorney general, that is a meaningful bulwark against the worst insanity imaginable as these Democrats take over. This is a very, very big race.

31:06and let me end on New Jersey here for a moment and then we're going to get to Julie Kelly because I've got a lot to discuss with Julie Kelly New Jersey is where Jack Cittarelli does have a real chance Republican running for governor has a very real chance of winning today against Mikey Sherrill who is just such a dishonorable and despicable woman Democrat running right now in New Jersey and I want to show you let me show you a clip of how Mikey Sherrill has concluded this campaign. She just did a Q &A with local media in New Jersey, and she was asked about whether or not parents should be involved in their children's education when it comes to, quote, the LGBTQ agenda in schools.

31:52Listen to her as she says parents should not have the right to opt their children out of this kind of demented left wing grooming ideology. Listen to cut one here. Watch. Should parents have the right to opt their kids out of LGBTQ related content in the same way that right now they can be removed from sex ed and health curriculum classes? Look, I believe that parents have the right to oversee their children's education. I would push an LGBTQ education into our schools. Parents have a right to opt out of a lot of things, but this is not an area where they should be opting out because this is an area of understanding the background of people throughout our nation.

32:34And right now we see, for example, at the Naval Academy, an erasure of history. How disgusting. How completely disgusting. What an awful human being that woman is. She says, no, no, no, parents should not be able to opt out of grooming these children. We have to convince them that they were born in the wrong body. We have to indulge this type of distorted thinking. We need to affirm this abuse of these kids and parents should not get in the way. That should be the death knell of her campaign. That should be the call to vote, the call to engage in the electoral process that every single parent in New Jersey should be engaged in.

33:16By the way, and I said it earlier as I was talking about the left's attack on the family. Why do you think they want everybody to abort their children? Why do you think it is that the left is constantly advocating that you don't have kids at all? because if you do, you think about the future of your country. You actually vote in responsible ways, at least statistically. Parents care about their kids. And if a bunch of left-wing voters, childless left-wing voters, are showing up to the polls to vote for the abuse of those children, it's even more despicable. It's a lot. New Jersey, you have a real chance today.

33:55The Garden State has a very real chance today. Get out and vote for Jack Cittarelli. All right, Julie Kelly is with us in just a moment. We're going to talk to her about the latest breaking news on James Comey. The FBI discovered a room full of secrets, and those secrets have led to some very big indictments.

36:44But the evidence against Comey comes from his own notes and his own emails, all found in an FBI room number 9582. That's on the ninth floor of the FBI, 9582. They found all the secrets. For more on this, I want to bring in Julie Kelly now. You can find her on X, Julie underscore Kelly to her sub stack is called declassified with Julie Kelly. She's a political commentator, of course, and a senior contributor at American Greatness. Julie, good to have you back with us on the program today. Hey, Vince, thanks so much for having me on. We have a lot to cover. We do have a lot to say. Okay, so we have now seen a number of examples of things that were found inside of this room.

37:369582. I didn't realize the room number until now. It's room 9582, where they keep finding all of the evidence related to the plots against the president of the United States and the people who support him. Tell us about the latest regarding James Comey. So the latest development, and I really want to give a shout out here to acting U.S. Attorney Lindsay Halligan, and she is the chief of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. We know from reporting that there was internal resistance by top prosecutors in that office who were conflicted, by the way, either personal or professional ties that conflicted them and even considering this indictment against James Comey, this two-counted indictment, that Lindsay Halligan got a two-counted indictment by a grand jury for false statements and obstructing Congress.

38:29So now the unraveling happens. And James Comey, his attorneys filed a motion to dismiss last month based on selective vindictive prosecution, claiming that the only reason the charges were brought is, of course, Donald Trump's animus to James Comey. So Lindsay Halligan filed a response to that motion yesterday, where she did detail how some of these documents, And I think this really damning handwritten note from Comey, this apparent meeting on September 26th of 2016, continues to demonstrate that he had this not only his dirty hands all over the initiation of Crossfire Hurricane, but that his cutout man, Dan Richmond, was part of this very elaborate, extensive media leaking operation to certain reporters, especially at The New York Times.

39:25His handwritten note is included here. And it's this seems to indicate that he was very aware of Hillary Clinton's plans to attack Trump. He that he that he knew that this Steele dossier and that this that these allegations about Russian collusion were actually a Hillary Clinton op. And he attributes it in the handwritten note. Fellas, if you could put my screen up because I've got the handwritten note up on my my screen right now. He attributes that this connection to Hillary to J.B. Now, there are two people in his orbit with the initials J.B. One is Joe Biden. The other is John Brennan. And my understanding here is that normally Joe Biden in this context would have been referred to rather as VP, not as J.B., as the vice president of the United States.

40:21So I think maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's safe to assume this is a reference to John Brennan talking about a connection to Hillary Clinton here. I think it's either John Brennan or James Baker, who is very involved in there's a lot of J.B.'s. We have one here in Illinois, too. So I believe it's either John Brennan or it is James Baker, who is the general counsel of the FBI. And of course, we know that he was very intimately involved in creating and authoring, drafting that FISA application against Carter Page. We can talk a little bit of the timeline, what was happening, the context of his notes on September 26th.

41:04But again, more proof that he was very aware that Hillary Clinton's campaign was attempting to tie Donald Trump to Russia. And this was all seeded by Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier, a longtime who was also a confidential human source at the FBI at the time and was a lobbyist for Oleg Deripaska at the time, trying to get him out of trouble with the U.S. government. So there are so many players here and goings on. But the September 26th date is really important because it came three days after Michael Isikoff's infamous Yahoo News article that sort of got the ball rolling about this Russia collusion operation.

41:47he had met with Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson at Fusion GPS. That article, kind of mind-blowing, September 23rd of 2016, was used as part of the evidence in the first application, visa application, prepared by Jim Comey and the DOJ and FBI. So all of the top operatives, as we already know, were involved. But here's Jim Comey, again, in his own handwriting, acknowledging that he knew at the latest at that point what was going on with the dossier and Hillary Clinton campaign. Some of the other documents that the FBI has that Lindsay Halligan presented yesterday as proof that James Comey earned this indictment are emails indicating that he was very involved in handling Daniel Richmond's leaks to the New York Times.

42:36That is the subject of the charges here in the indictment. Did he lie to Congress about facilitating leaks to the media? And it certainly looks like he did, Julie Kelly, based on this evidence. Well, Vince, I posted this and I thought this was kind of funny, but also sort of pathetic. So Dan Richman is a law professor at Columbia. He is person three in this indictment. He was Jim Comey's personal cutout man between what was happening at the Bureau in both the Clinton investigation and the Trump investigation, Russia investigation. And what he basically, Dan Richman, is kind of begging Jim Comey, and I believe James Baker also is in that email.

43:18In fact, it might have been addressed to Jim Baker, and this was in 2015, sort of begging for this title at the FBI so he could help. And he basically said, look, I have credibility with the media. They're always calling me for comments. You know, why don't I just kind of have some sort of title at the FBI? Well, why did they do that, Vince? Which they did, by the way. He was hired in 2015 as a special employee, FBI special employee. So he held that role through 2015, all of 2016, up until February of 2017, where he then could either be identified by name as a Columbia law professor, or he could be referred to as a senior law enforcement official who wouldn't give his name, which, of course, he was repeatedly.

44:05His biggest connection and then these emails and text messages demonstrate his biggest lackey in the media was Michael Schmidt at The New York Times, who authored many pieces about Russia collusion and the Clinton investigation. So there are a lot of text messages also in this document as exhibits that demonstrate this collaboration between Dan Richman while he was at the FBI and Michael Schmidt to seed or plant or pitch favorable stories about Jim Comey, who, as you know, was under fire by Democrats for at that last minute, saying that they were relooking at the Clinton email matters. So it's just more insight.

44:48It's really a very interesting view into not just Jim Comey's narcissism, his corruption, but also how he worked so closely with major news organizations to slander and smear Donald Trump, Carter Page, et cetera, and make Jim Comey look like the hero in all of this. For sure. No question about it. So let me go to the findings here by the FBI and this room 9582, which I'm fascinated by, because in what they what they allege is that this room has served as a treasure trove of information here about documents. I'm going to pull it. Fellas, I've got this document up on my screen. This is from the government filings.

45:36They say in the spring of 2025, a team this is this year, a team of FBI investigators was assembled to examine possible reform of policies, procedures, compliance and culture at the FBI. During their work, FBI investigators were alerted to a seemingly unused SCIF, that's a secure compartmentalized information facility, that place where you can look at classified documents, in FBI headquarters containing a random collection of classified documents. A large majority of the documents were on the floor in five burn bags. Room 9582 was then subject to an inventory for the documents that were located inside.

46:15Investigators located hundreds of pages related to Crossfire Hurricane, 2016's FBI investigation tying Trump to Russia, and the then classified appendix to the 2016 Durham report. Additionally, inside of a locked safe within this room, 95-82, they found James Comey handwritten notes that I just showed you on screen. And those handwritten notes were not known to any prior investigative teams. Julie, this room keeps producing new goodies for the rest of us to see. Is it your opinion that these were good guys who were squirreling these documents away for the rest of us to one day find? That's a really good question.

47:02And I know that there's speculation as to the origins of those documents. Did somebody put them there on purpose to preserve them? So incoming Director Cash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino could find them? I don't know. Or was it just sloppy, lazy, kind of typical work by their predecessors there? But, you know, and let's take a moment, too, to speak to Christopher Wray, the former FBI director's corruption and his culpability here, because these documents we've had, correct? And there are new documents that were released by Tulsi Gabbard, the talks that we didn't know before notes about a December meeting 2016 in the White House with Barack Obama and top FBI DOJ DNI officials to advance the idea of Russia collusion right before Trump's inauguration.

48:02So everyone knew that these documents existed and that more proof of the corrupt, dirty, Russiagate, uh, crossfire hurricane investigation that the public should have known. Um, and so, you know, again, and I also want to emphasize this underscores what Cash Patel and Dan Bongino are up against at this FBI. I mean, you have years of buried evidence. Um, you have an FBI that is populated with partisan actors who definitely do not share the president's agenda here. So I think they've worked with great speed and deliberation in finding these documents, vetting them and making them public. They say that whoever planted these documents, there was a huge spike in activity just before the inauguration.

48:54That that that room was accessed repeatedly leading up to the inauguration. In other words, it does seem that they say it was specifically between January 19th to the 22nd, a massive spike in access to room 9582. That suggests to me that there were some white hats inside of that bureau who were very interested in making sure that accountability could be found. Well, that's good news because there aren't a lot of white hats there. There are a lot more black hats throughout that bureau and every single field office. As we're finding out with the Arctic Frost documents, you know, all of the FBI field offices who were involved in trying to destroy Donald Trump and the entire MAGA movement, including, you know, obtaining records of U.S.

49:43senators and members of Congress. So, yeah, I expect this is going to be sort of a weekly occurrence, Spence, where either by the FBI or Congress, we are getting our hands or in this case, the criminal investigation and prosecution of Jim Comey and whoever else is around the corner who will be joining him either in this indictment or separate indictments. So I just was playing video yesterday and I actually interviewed him on the radio show of a man called Thomas Speciale confronting John Brennan at George Mason University this past week, which I love. It's great video. And John Brennan is going berserk.

50:20He's losing his mind that anybody's even trying to hold him accountable for his role in advancing the disgusting Steele dossier as a fake intelligence weapon against President Trump. But that that suggests to me, Julie, that that John Brennan is aware that he is in the crosshairs of the Justice Department right now. Do you anticipate an indictment against Brennan? I do. And if people have not seen the confrontation where John Brennan just loses his mind, I mean, he really almost got into I mean, it was close to a physical confrontation when he was presented with questions about Hunter Biden's laptop and crossfire hurricane.

51:01So he knows he's guilty. We all know that he's guilty. It will probably originate with his 2022 sworn testimony where he distanced himself, especially claiming that the Steele dossier did not animate his intelligence community assessment that was published a few weeks before Trump's first inauguration. We know also that that is a lie, that there was disputes within the intelligence community, whistleblowers who have come forward and talked about how they objected to the creation, hasty, very hasty creation of that ICA that gave the government's imprimatur on the idea that that Vladimir Putin had helped extensively helped elect Donald Trump in 2016.

51:47So, yes, he should be nervous. And then, of course, we know that this grand jury has been impaneled in southern Florida with a new U.S. attorney in southern Florida, Jason Quinones. And that grand jury, it appears, will be getting to work in January, perhaps on what we have been told, a grand conspiracy investigation that will hopefully ensnare all of these bad actors, including Jim Comey and John Brennan. You're not the first I've heard say this. And Mike Davis has been talking about this somewhat, too, that January is the time to look for and that Florida is the place to look for it. That certainly suggests to me that this would lump in Jack Smith's raid on Mar-a-Lago, perhaps.

52:29I mean, that was one of the big theatrical events that happened as a part of the grand conspiracy you and I are aware of. Correct. And so it would be based on the Mar-a-Lago raid that that was either sort of the nexus of this grand conspiracy going back all the way to 2016, 2017, or at least starting there and moving a little bit backwards, but certainly forward. And there's a new book out today. And Vince, I'm going to be posting this on X, Julie underscore Kelly, too, by Carol Lenning and others who talk about what happened at the Biden DOJ in relation to both of the criminal investigations and prosecutions of Donald Trump.

53:08and what I and I posted some of the snippets last night and the egregious way that they handled that raid and the top Biden officials from Matthew Olson, who was National Security Division Director, Lisa Monaco, the Deputy Attorney General, and how they instantly, even that night after the raid occurred, claimed that these documents were highly sensitive, that he had broken the law. And one DOJ official, Julie Adelstein, saying if it was anyone else, they would be arrested immediately. These people were nuts. They were corrupt to the fullest extent, and they definitely need to be held accountable because we cannot let this happen again, and we cannot let these bad actors to abuse their power try to destroy an entire political movement and get away with it.

53:57Let me ask you a big picture question about accountability. Early in the administration, certainly in the first few months, I think there were a lot of people, and myself included you really want to see the wheels of justice turn as quickly as humanly possible like when are the indictments coming when are the indictments coming when the name is coming uh what we've seen over the course of the past few weeks especially uh is a lot of high profile people are now being indicted it's not a small deal to get james comey indicted letitia james indicted john bolton indicted you got democrat members of congress like la monica mcciver indicted you got democrat candidates like kat abugazela uh in illinois indicted um there are a number of people who have quite obviously credibly been accused of breaking the law who are now facing the consequences of their own actions.

54:41As you assess why these things take time and how we're seeing them roll out, what do you think this is? Is this just a product of due diligence, deliberation, that these guys are trying to do things the right way as opposed to sort of the reckless tyranny of the past? What is this? Well, look, and I've cautioned people from the very beginning. I mean, there were some people on the right who were, after a month after the president was sworn in, wanting to know where the handcuffs were, where are the indictments. Well, all of this takes time. And I think the point that you have these documents hidden away in a skiff and possibly only the tip of the iceberg in terms of that.

55:24And then once you have an investigation or you're pursuing a prosecution, you have these partisan actors embedded in very powerful U.S. attorney's offices, whether it's the Southern District of New York, whether it is in the Eastern District of Virginia, certainly in the D.C. U.S. attorney's office, who are insubordinate and refusing to pursue these political indictments, again, based on their own personal and professional ties to some of the people involved. So I think, you know, that we're sitting here at the beginning of November, we already have these indictments. We have a grand jury and panel that we're going to see a lot more.

56:01And I think that this is moving actually in a quicker way than than we should have really expected. This is such a good point. I didn't even bring that up, and I'm glad you did. They had they have enduring deep state problems that they have to they have to claw out from the Justice Department. The Eastern District of Virginia was full of people who were trying to prevent James Comey from being indicted. They were working overtime to make sure that happened. The guy who was in that job as the U.S. attorney was there with the blessing of Mark Warner and Tim Kaine. He was working very hard to protect Democrats.

56:36And it took it took Pam Bondi and President Trump saying, no, get that guy out of there. Lindsey Halligan came in under the wire. James Comey was prosecuted within the last 48 hours before the statute of limitations ran out. This is the kind of environment that they're fighting in. They are. And Eric Siebert, who was the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, his father is the godfather to one of James Comey's children. So how could we believe that Eric Siebert could have acted? And partially, he didn't. I identified at least two former top aides to Deputy Attorney Lisa Monaco, who her if you want to look at the individual who goes all the way back to Crestfire Hurricane, the summer of 2016, all the way through the raid of Mar-a-Lago, the very end, trying to do whatever they could to keep those two criminal indictments alive by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

57:28I mean, it is Lisa Monaco. She had two of her top deputies at that Eastern District of Virginia. And so then there were others that we outed at having other ties and they left as well. But remember, we were told by all the smart legal experts that Lindsay Callaghan didn't have enough criminal. She had no criminal prosecution experience. She would never get an indictment. And to your point, she went in there, you know, cold and got a two count criminal indictment against James Comey in not a very friendly district, might we say, jurisdiction and is continuing every day. She is I mean, this motion that she prepared in the exhibits, very careful, very convincing.

58:10And I'm sure Team Comey and his, you know, long roster of high powered white shoe attorneys are a little bit panicked, not just for what this means for the criminal case, but certainly the public relations end up. But what you know means more to Jim Comey than anything else. Yes. He's got another Taylor Swift concert to go to and he wants to record a selfie video and tell you all about it. That's his life nowadays. Thank you very much. Julie Kelly, always appreciate your love of country and your excellent reporting. Thank you so much, Julie. Good to talk to you today. Thank you. There's the great Julie Kelly.

58:45All right. All right. So this is a big day, ladies and gentlemen. If you are in a state, there's a lot of elections going on across the country. I only covered a handful of them. But if you have an election going on today, if you haven't voted yet, get out and vote. Get everybody you know out to vote and then convince them to keep spreading the message. You have to do it. The polls are open. Let's keep fighting for this country at every opportunity. There's a big one presenting itself today to you. Take advantage of it, please.
