Trump Responds to Criminal Investigation of Comey & Brennan

Trump's Reaction to Investigation

• 🗣️ Donald Trump stated that James Comey and John Brennan are "very dishonest people" and "crooked as hell," suggesting they "may have to pay a price."
• ⚖️ Trump expressed a general reluctance for incoming administrations to pursue those from previous ones, fearing a cycle that deters good people from public service.
• 🎯 However, he believes that for issues like the "Russia probe," "Biden's incompetence," or "COVID," someone has to pay a price.

Accountability in Government

• 📊 Lisa McClain drew an analogy to the Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank acts in financial services, where individuals are held personally accountable for company actions.
• 🏛️ She argued that government lacks this personal accountability, making it difficult to identify who is responsible when things go wrong.
• ⚠️ McClain criticized Biden's pardons, suggesting they were a result of "shady deals" and an attempt to cover up wrongdoing.
• 🔍 She questioned the motives behind using "nefarious acts" and "false allegations" against Trump, asking, "What are you hiding?"

Accusations Against Brennan

• 🎤 John Brennan is presented, stating the "Russia interference" assessment was not a hoax and expressing concern over the "deterioration of respect for the rule of law."
• 📺 Beth Van Duyne interpreted Brennan's statement as "confession through projection," implying he is guilty of what he accuses Trump of.
• 🤥 She accused Brennan and others of defending an "autopen" and engaging in the "largest cover-up in American history."

The 'Deep State' Concern

• 🔒 Van Duyne believes that individuals in positions of power have been protecting one political party for decades, willing to "lie to the American public" and "ignore the law."
• 🏛️ She highlighted the efforts of figures like Jim Jordan to uncover the truth, while anticipating resistance and delays through the court system.
• 🚩 The ultimate goal, according to Van Duyne, is to fight the "deep state" to prevent the "end of our country."
