Well, we've learned a lot since then. We've learned a lot since then about what Dan is talking about. A lot. In fact, this weekend as they released this Durham Annex, a classified intelligence report attached to the end of that Durham report that was looking into the whole Trump Russia collusion hoax to begin with. One of the details we've learned is that these documents that are just declassified were apparently in that room. One of the documents in the burn bags that were in that room was the Duramanix, which this strikes me as completely crazy. Look this. Look at this Fox News report. Patel found thousands of sensitive Trump Russia probe docs inside of burn bags in a secret room at the FBI. And this Fox report last week says the sources say that multiple burn bags were found and filled with thousands of documents. Sources telling Fox News Digital that one of the documents FBI officials found in a burn bag was the classified annex to former special counsel John Durham's final report, which includes the underlying intelligence that he reviewed. I've got a lot of questions about this and hopefully one day I can get them directly, get some answers directly from Dan on this subject. But 1. Are you telling me that the only copy of the classified Durham Annex was inside of a burn bag, smuggled away to a room somewhere at the FBI, that our chance of seeing the Durham Annex may have disappeared entirely if that burn bag was brought to its final destination, which is to burn the underlying documents. Also a room full of burn bags. For those of you who have ever dealt with classified information, who've had to deal with this, who understand this system of how you use burn bags, it's pretty straightforward in the government. If you work in a classified environment and you're handling classified paperwork, at the conclusion of using that classified paperwork, you can't take it with you. You can't leave the building with it. You can't leave it next to your classic Corvette somewhere in a garage in Delaware. Not allowed to do that. What you do is you take the document and then you insert it into either a classified grade shredding machine, something that the intelligence community is certified as good to go to destroy classified documents, or you put it in a burn bag and then every so often, somebody comes around, the burn bag janitor comes around, collects all the documents and then burns them all, incinerates them Orwell style, drops them into the memory hole and makes the documents go away. Burn bags, that didn't happen here. Why is it that you had all these burn bags full of really important documents that were in a room somewhere and weren't destroyed and were kept? You know, I do think, as Dan mentioned in that May clip, clearly these were documents that were attempted to be destroyed in order to prevent a future Trump administration or any decent person from seeing them. One, but two, it does suggest that somebody on the inside wanted these documents to survive, even though they were about to be destroyed. And they kept them. And now they've been discovered and now they've been shared. Remember when Dan said that in May, there was a lot of bitching and moaning, oh, stop telling us about things that you found. Just release it. Why are we hearing this? And people were treating this like it was theater, like that. It was nothing. It was just meant to be some sort of breadcrumb to kind of like keep people like vaguely interested. Oh yeah, no, we're doing something and meanwhile not really doing anything at all. Well, it turns out they were doing something that Duramanix that they found in those burn bags. Well, now it's been publicly released and the details are jaw dropping. The details are jaw dropping. Matt Taibbi had an excellent summary this weekend of kind of the top line items of what was in the Duramanics. But in this annex he said that one, first and foremost, there are three elements here. One, it establishes that Hillary and her team apparently hope to deflect from her email scandal by now. You know that in fact that was in the public Durham report and the other problems that they had. So they tried to tie Trump to Putin during the 2016 election. Two, the American intel community learned about this plan. And then three, rather than go after Hillary and try and stop the corrupt practice that she was undertaking to try and destroy Trump, they helped Hillary advance this narrative that Trump was somehow connected to Putin in order to stagger the incoming Trump presidency. Those are the three major items here. And this declassified information really gives you the details. So let me show you the actual document because in order to understand this, it's going to be really important for us to actually see the document. And this is called. This is the classified appendix. It's called the Report on Matters Related to Intelligence Activities and Investigations Arising out of the 2016 presidential campaigns. Again, this stuff was so classified that members of Congress who were investigating all of it didn't get to see it themselves. I heard Trey Gowdy on television this weekend going, man, I really wish we had a chance to see this back then. I wish the FBI declassified this back then. I wish they handed this to us back then. But they didn't. So members of Congress didn't get to see this? No, this was only released because the Trump administration finally got ahold of it in a burn bag in a room at the FBI and released it. So what do they have? Well, if you advance to pages 2 and 4 of this document, really quickly you begin, you start to see some of the pieces here. One, the Russians hacked a number of organizations in the United States, the Xanac says, including the Open Society Foundations, formerly known as the Soros Foundation. To be more specific, they hacked George Soros operation. Now, why would this be useful if you're the Russians? Well, the answer is because you. If you want an inside take on what the Democrats are up to, where better to go than to hack George Soros? They hacked the Soros foundation because they wanted the inside dirt on what was happening with Democrats. That's where they went. They had a source who throughout this document is known as T1, who began sharing information with the FBI about what the Russians had learned. This is a really important detail to remember because as we go through this, especially with John Brennan, and it's gonna become super important, remember this is what the Russians have gathered about Hillary Clinton's campaign. And a source with access to the Russian intel was giving it to the US intelligence community. That's how they knew all of this. T1 shared this information with the FBI. The hacked emails that they obtained included a guy called Leonard Bernardo, who was the regional director for Eurasia at George Soros operation, the Open Society Foundations. And boy, he's got some of the most interesting emails and documents in this. Another guy called Jeffrey Goldstein is also hacked in these emails. The emails that they exchange are with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. You remember her. She's the awful Democrat congresswoman from Florida. She's also the former head of the Democrat National Committee who was pretty unceremoniously fired going into the Democrat convention because the emails that were coming out from the DNC demonstrated that the DNC was rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton. So Debbie Wasserman Schultz gets fired going into the Democrat National Convention, but these emails are between her and these Soros people. How often have people told you that Soros is uninvolved in Democrat politics? Why are you paying attention to Soros so much? You're an anti Semite for even talking about George Soros. An anti Semite? What are you even talking about? Well, George Soros is Jewish. What does that have to do with anything? That's what they do. But George Soros, of course, is one of the biggest single contributors to American politics. So a normal person would say, hey, what influence is he trying to wield over our system? And it turns out a lot. So you get the head of the DNC communicating directly with top Soros officials and relaying her concerns about how crappy Hillary Clinton's campaign is. In fact, in a January 2016 memo which the Russians put together, they found this on January 12th of this year, during a confidential discussion with Jeffrey Goldstein, a representative of the Soros Foundation, DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz characterized the situation in her party in light of the growing scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton as follows. Information that was released to the media in just the last few days about the FBI investigating possible corruption relating to the Department of State under the leadership of Hillary Clinton and her preferential treatment of donors of the Clinton foundation caused a significant negative reaction inside the party. Hmm. At the same time, the leadership of the Democrat Party had known about the information since June of 2015. In other words, they were already panicked about how corrupt Hillary Clinton was dating back to 2015. According to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the FBI so far does not have persuasive evidence against Hillary because of the timely deletion of relevant data from her mail servers. You got that detail. So Debbie Wasserman Schultz is assuring George Soros World in January of 2016, don't worry about Hillary's emails. We deleted all the bad stuff. It's all gone because of the timely deletion of relevant data from mail servers. Now, what would be relevant to the FBI? Anything that's evidence of a crime. So all the criminality has been deleted from Hillary servers. Debbie Wasserman Schultz assures George Soros World. Remember finding out about this anywhere? No, it wasn't out there. Because. Because this came out in this classified document this weekend. Obama. The document continues. Obama has no intention to darken the Final part of his presidency and legacy by the scandal surrounding the main contender from the Democrat Party. To solve the problem, the President puts pressure on James Comey through Attorney General Lynch. However so far without concrete results. All right, so that's what they claim about how this all got started and how Hillary deleted her emails and it was designed to prevent any criminality from being captured by the FBI. In addition, this memo also says that Obama himself. This is where Obama's implicated. Pay attention here. Obama himself sanctioned the use of all administrative levers to remove possibly negative effects from the FBI investigation of cases related to the Clinton foundation and the email correspondence in the State Department. So Obama was a part of the COVID up. In order to prevent Hillary from getting into trouble, somebody had to clean up for her. Obama was doing it again from Wasserman Schultz. The FBI doesn't possess any kind of direct evidence against Clinton because of their timely deletion from the email servers. Now here's another piece. Again, this is. These are, each of these items are very important and I realize there's a lot here. So if I'm confusing at all, let me know. Chad, I don't want to be, I want to be super clear about what's in here. The political director of Hillary Clinton's staff is a woman called Amanda, Amanda Renteria. She regularly received information from Attorney General Loretta lynch on the plans and intention of the FBI. You see what this says? So you've got a top Hillary Clinton official who's receiving secret information from the Attorney General of the United States. That's the allegation. Now let me pause on that one for a moment because I think it's probably worth giving you the, the conclusion of that story. Or at least according to this report, the FBI would question the Attorney General about this. Eventually they would go on to talk. They actually it wasn't quite a question. It was a briefing that they gave on August 10th of 2016. And so let me push forward to pages 19 to 21 in this annex. And that's where we find this intelligence. And it does not go that great for the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. Take a Look here, page 19. They had a briefing on August 10, 2016. Andrew McCabe, you remember him, deputy director of the FBI, fired for being a liar. And then another guy, Deputy General Counsel Anderson, also from the FBI provided the defensive briefing to Attorney General lynch regarding the T1 information. This is a way of saying, hey, we've got this information that says that Russia seems to think you are giving secret information to the Clinton campaign. You should probably know about the intel we've gathered. So they treated it like they were giving her a heads up. But what they were stunned by was her reaction to it. According to Anderson, lynch denied knowing Renteria, that's the Hillary Clinton person, but did not deny or comment on the broader assertions in the reports concerning efforts to improperly influence the department's investigations. According to McCabe. Andy McCabe, in his interview with the Office of Inspector General, he said of Loretta lynch, quote, she read the reports and I will probably never forget she just finished reading them and said, okay, I mean, like I expected more of a reaction than that, said McCabe. Like I expected, like, this is crazy. I never talked to that person. But she was absolutely stone faced and she said nothing about the contents of the memos, which I don't know how to interpret that, said McCabe. In fact, going on here, he's not the only one who thought this. McCabe thought that her reaction was, quote, odd. Anderson similarly told the Inspector general she found it to be a, quote, little bit weird that the Attorney General didn't affirmatively disavow the content of the reports. And there were other officials throughout the FBI to include FBI General Counsel Baker, James Baker, who said he was greatly concerned. The FBI interviewed FBI General Counsel James Baker. Baker told the office based on the reports he received of the briefing for Loretta lynch, he was, quote, greatly concerned about Lynch's reaction. Moreover, Baker, unlike his FBI colleagues, did not dismiss the credibility of the reports. In fact, Baker informed the office that following the defensive briefing of lynch, he began to have concerns about Loretta Lynch's potential bias due to one, her curious reaction to that information, which again tells you everything. She is linking to the Hillary campaign and she's pretending like it's no big deal and she wants them to go away. Let's stop talking about this. And two, says James Baker, Loretta Lynch's infamous interaction with former President Clinton on the tarmac in Phoenix. And of course, you can't forget the fact that Loretta lynch covered for Hillary when she forced James Comey. She tried to anyway, to refer to the investigation into Hillary's emails as a, quote, matter and not an investigation. Yeah. Loretta lynch had heavily implicated in these declassified documents. That's a big deal. Okay, I've got more. I've got actually a mountain more. And this, this is again, I'm trying to give you, I think if we can, the clearest distillation of the value of this document right here on this, this comeback episode of Vince.

All right, so we got the Loretta lynch component to all this. The Attorney General of the United States. The scummy, corrupt Attorney General of the United States. In these documents, the annex describes how Clinton's staff, with, quote, support from Special Services. I think that means the intel community is preparing scandalous revelations of business relations between Trump and the Russian mafia. That's what the document says. And then in. In 2016, July of 2016. I want you to remember back to July of 2016. It is such an important month in the history of our country for a million different reasons. But one of them fundamentally is that was the conclusion of the Hillary Clinton email investigation by the FBI and the opening of the Trump Russia collusion hoax investigation by the FBI. I remember that month really clearly because as an editor at the Daily Caller, we broke the news that Hillary Clinton was going to be interviewed by the FBI on July 2nd. It was a holiday weekend, Independence Day weekend. And on July 2nd, Hillary Clinton was going to be interviewed. That was a Saturday. And I remember when the Daily Caller reported it. At the time, when we reported it, the media was going crazy because they thought to them, how could the Daily Caller have this scoop? You're not real journalists. How Would you even know that? Who would tell you that? This is the Obama administration. How could you possibly have that story? It's not going to happen. And sure enough, it did happen, actually. Hillary Clinton was interviewed by the FBI in a cushy little interview that they did on Saturday of July 2, 2016. July 4th. Well, that's when James Comey came out and exonerated her and said, Joe, she's not guilty of anything. She's just a little careless, but she's not guilty of anything. We can't prosecute her. She stole a lot of classified information. But no prosecution's coming. That's the end of that. So the FBI closed the mid year exam investigation into Hillary Clinton and then later that month they opened the investigation into President Trump. Coming out of the Democratic convention, coming out of this plan that Hillary Clinton's campaign cooked up to take down Trump, the FBI dutifully started the Trump Russia collusion hoax and began going after everybody in Trump's orbit. That all happened. And so if you go to pages 6 and 7 of this document, I'll take you there. What you can see is that according to this previously classified information, what they discovered is that they were getting more intel from their source who had access to it from Russia in July of 2016. And the memo stated that Clinton approved a plan proposed by one of her foreign policy advisors approved a plan proposed by one of her foreign policy advisors, Julianne Smith, to smear Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion by the Russian special services in the pre election process to benefit the Republican candidate. That was the plan and it was cooked up by this woman, Julianne Smith, who was a part of Hillary's campaign. They said the point of all of this, as you might imagine, was to quote, divert the constituents attention from the investigation of Clinton's compromised electronic correspondence. They wanted, that's you, that's the voter. They wanted the voters to be taken off the scent of Hillary Clinton's stolen classified emails in her private email server. So they cooked up a fake Trump Russia collusion hoax. That's what this is. That's exactly what this is. Now I should tell you that everybody inside of Hillary's orbit has denied all of this. They act like none of this ever happened, actually. But the way they deny it is pretty interesting actually. It's over the top. Let me go to pages 15 and 16 here. This is where the document captures the denials of a number of very important Hillary Clinton officials, including the campaign chairman, John Podesta. Now I'm going to call attention to something here that you may have seen, but I haven't seen others in media calling attention to this yet. The office interviewed Clinton herself and several former members of the Clinton campaign using the sensitive intelligence materials that have been declassified. In reviewing the July 2016 material, Clinton stated, quote, it looked like Russian disinformation to her. And now pay attention to the way each of her campaign figures responds. Campaign chairman John Podesta stated he had not seen the declassified materials before and he characterized the information as ridiculous. Check this out. Ridiculous is in quotes. Here they're quoting him directly. They say he used the word ridiculous. Senior policy advisor Jake Sullivan stated that he had not seen the declassified memo before and had no reaction to it other than to say, quote, that's ridiculous in quotes. What is Durham doing here? Watch. Here we go again. Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri stated that she had never seen the memorandum before, found its contents to be, quote, ridiculous, and could not recall anything like this related to the campaign. So in three independent interviews with three top Hillary officials, each one of them used the same exact adjective to describe why all of this scandalous stuff never happened. Ridiculous, they said, one after the other. How did that happen? Who put that together? Durham doesn't draw a broader conclusion here. Not on paper. He doesn't write that down. He doesn't say, oh, I found it interesting that they all use the same phrasing. But the fact that John Durham quoted them, he didn't quote full passages from them, he quoted this one adjective over and over and over from each of them tells you a lot. It tells you that Durham believes that their answers were scripted, that they went in there with a plan, that they compared notes and they agreed on a line of attack to survive scrutiny. Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous. Before we get to our great guests, I have one last thing I want to share with you on this subject. We got a lot we can do with this, so we'll do a lot of it in the coming days as well. John Brennan, the CIA director, is an important figure in all of this. And if anybody has criminal exposure here, it certainly looks like he's the guy. He's now on the record lying multiple times, multiple times to obviously members of the media. It's not crime to do that unless you're doing it to advance a continuing conspiracy, which he seems to have been doing. Additionally, he lied to Congress on multiple occasions about all of this. And John Brennan's role here is really interesting. On August 3rd of 2016, John Brennan briefed a whole bunch of people, Barack Obama and others. Let me push Forward to page 18 here, because this is where this information is. John Brennan on August 3rd. Here we go, fellas. We could pull this document up. During a meeting at the White House, CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama, Vice President Biden, DNI Clapper, FBI Director Comey, and other U.S. officials regarding Russian interference, as well as the intel that they received from the T1 source received concerning the reference plan by the Clinton campaign. Brennan's handwritten notes, stated in part, were getting additional insight into Russian activities that cite alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on 26 July of a proposed plan from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming Russian interference by the Russian security services. All right, so that's what's happening on August 3rd. What happened on August 4th, the next day? Well, it was on that day that John Brennan reached out to his Russian counterpart, a guy by the name of Alexander Bortnikov. And in fact, I want to give credit to Hans Monkey here, who posted this to X this weekend about one of the most striking revelations in all of this is that Brennan briefs Obama and says, look, Hillary's trying to cook up a fake Trump ride Russia collusion hoax. And the reason we know this is because the Russians have intercepted communications from the Democrats. So then the next day, Brennan contacts his Russian intelligence counterpart and says, hey, Bortnikov, knock it off. We know what you're doing. And of course, the Russians play stupid. They're like, what do you mean, what we're doing? He goes, oh, we know that the intel operation you're undertaking, we know you're meddling in the election. We know about all of this. And Bortnikov hears the message. And guess what happens? The intel flow that we were getting from Russia that was detailing Hillary's attempt to rig the election dries up. Suddenly. Brennan tipped off the Russians that this intelligence was flowing to us, and he stopped it in its tracks. That's a really important piece here. So, as you remember, all of. As you. As we go through all of this, try and keep some of these elements in mind, because I think they're gonna be useful as time moves forward. Man, I've got a lot to get to here.
