Today, we have a massive special for you today, the Durham investigation, human events daily
00:00:08.020
is going all the way down the rabbit hole to explain exactly what's going on.
00:00:13.220
The team worked so hard overnight on this producer shop, producer Mike did everything
00:00:20.260
You can't wait to hear this, but first got to tell you what's going on.
00:00:25.660
We've got the young women's leadership summit, June 2nd to 4th, Dallas, Texas, TPUSA.
00:00:36.020
You got Candace Owens, Governor Kristi Noem, Kaylee McEnany, Charlie Kirk and Erica Kirk,
00:00:41.300
Laura Trump, Governor Sarah Palin, Dana Lash, Allie Stuckey, Congresswoman Kat Kamek and
00:00:53.360
Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's special edition of Human Events Daily
00:01:03.020
Welcome to Human Events Special, the Durham investigation.
00:01:07.200
We're breaking this down into four segments the same way we usually do.
00:01:11.100
Segment one, crossfire hurricane and the indictment and sentencing of FBI lawyer Kevin
00:01:18.320
Next, the Steele dossier and Fusion GPS and the indictment of the Steele dossier source,
00:01:26.200
Third, Alpha Bank, Rodney Jaffe, Zeta Lytics, Georgia Tech.
00:01:31.740
What was the Alpha Bank scandal and how is it tied to so many of these individuals?
00:01:37.000
And finally, we are going to break down Perkins Coy and Michael Sussman, the current indictment.
00:01:43.020
We're taking you all the way back into the past and bringing you all the way back to the
00:01:47.220
All of this and more ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:02:02.040
Putin is a trained intelligence officer from the old KGB.
00:02:07.200
He knows he can use flattery to get into Donald's head to make Donald the Kremlin's puppet.
00:02:15.260
Donald has signaled to Putin that he will let Russia do whatever it wants, from Ukraine
00:02:24.000
So ask yourself, why would Putin be trying to get Donald Trump elected president?
00:02:30.760
Could it be because of all the nice things Donald has said about him or the fact that
00:02:39.220
Or maybe because of the extensive business dealings with Russian oligarchs with ties to
00:02:47.960
We are dealing with something unprecedented in the history of our country, a foreign adversary
00:03:01.280
Out of nowhere, in fall of 2016, suddenly people started saying that Donald J. Trump, an American
00:03:10.780
businessman, someone who had been in the public eye for decades, was all of a sudden an agent
00:03:17.220
of the foreign state of Russia, the Russian Federation.
00:03:26.700
At first, we thought it was just the normal political rhetoric that comes out from a desperate
00:03:35.580
But we later found that those claims and those elements were part of a wide-reaching operation
00:03:43.560
that spanned both the intelligence community and the mainstream corporate regime media.
00:03:51.040
regime media was working hand in glove with the regime in order, number one, to launch an
00:03:58.800
investigation of a candidate for president of the United States to use elements of the
00:04:05.740
regime, of the national security state, to surveil and implant spies.
00:04:13.720
I said it, spies inside that campaign, talking to these people, trying to find out what's going
00:04:20.040
on, digging up the dirt, then passing it to their allies in the regime media, who then
00:04:43.780
Durham is looking into every single one of these pots.
00:04:46.940
He's looking into the four pots, the four buckets, if you will, of corruption.
00:04:55.680
So we've got bucket one, bucket two, bucket three, bucket four.
00:04:57.880
Bucket one, the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
00:05:01.720
And this, by the way, is from the DOJ's own reporting.
00:05:05.660
On July 31st, 2016, the FBI opened a Foreign Agent Registration Act investigation known as
00:05:12.660
Crossfire Hurricane into whether individuals associated with the Donald J.
00:05:16.620
Trump for President campaign were coordinating activities with the Russian government.
00:05:20.980
By August 16th, 2016, so just a couple months later, the FBI had opened cases under the Crossfire
00:05:27.100
Hurricane umbrella on four individuals, including an individual identified in this case.
00:05:32.100
Okay, we now later know that that was General Michael Flynn.
00:05:35.780
A lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, was assigned to provide support to FBI personnel working on this.
00:05:42.440
They admit that he prepared applications for the FBI and the DOJ's National Security Division
00:05:52.820
During the investigation, there were a total, excuse me, this is Carter Page.
00:05:55.780
During the investigation, there were a total of four court-appointed FISA applications targeting Carter Page.
00:06:02.580
Each of the FISA applications alleged that there was probable cause.
00:06:12.000
He had lied by changing the evidence, tampering the evidence in a filing to the secret FISA court.
00:06:18.340
Because when they asked him if Carter Page had ever been a source for the CIA, he said no.
00:06:28.820
Carter Page had, in the past, been a source for the CIA, and that's why he was traveling to Russia.
00:06:36.080
Kevin Clinesmith falsified the records, tampered with those documents,
00:06:41.520
in order to extend surveillance on Carter Page, because it wasn't about Carter Page.
00:06:47.460
It was about going after the campaign and going after Donald Trump.
00:06:54.440
I want to take a minute to talk about the fragile state of the U.S. dollar and what it means for you.
00:06:59.400
We are in a tough year, and it's getting tougher.
00:07:02.300
Biden's printing and spending could be catastrophic for the U.S. dollar and the market.
00:07:07.100
Now, we real patriots know that Bidenflation is the real pandemic, and it's getting worse.
00:07:13.040
That's why I recommend that you diversify with gold and silver now.
00:07:15.740
The only company I recommend is Allegiance Gold.
00:07:18.500
My friends at Allegiance Gold can help you protect your IRA or 401k with physical gold or silver,
00:07:24.260
or have it delivered straightly, securely, right to your door.
00:07:27.660
They will educate you on the benefits of physical gold because they care and want to build a long-term relationship.
00:07:32.680
Allegiance Gold has the highest rating from a third-party consumer protection agencies.
00:07:36.600
Five stars with TrustLink, and they are AAA-rated with the Business Consumer Alliance
00:07:40.940
and have an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau.
00:07:43.360
Get $500 of free silver on a qualifying purchase when you tell them I sent you.
00:07:52.060
We can't control the Biden administration, but we can prepare.
00:07:59.160
The chairman gave a Russian intelligence officer the Trump campaign's internal strategy and polling data.
00:08:06.600
That Russian intelligence officer then gave it to his bosses in the Russian intelligence agencies.
00:08:12.840
And that presumably must have been very helpful to the Russian intelligence agencies
00:08:16.020
in their concerted, contemporaneous efforts to target their attacks on our election
00:08:21.840
to the maximum benefit of candidate Donald Trump.
00:08:24.680
Russian intelligence attacked us in 2016 to help the Trump campaign win that election.
00:08:34.360
We now know the Trump campaign secretly gave their own data to Russian intelligence in the middle of that attack,
00:08:41.080
which, again, presumably helped what the Russians were doing.
00:08:43.580
So we now know that this entire scandal was called Spygate, the spying of a candidate for president.
00:08:53.600
But it wasn't just the spying, because remember, the people behind this were trying to defeat him in the election for 2016.
00:09:01.980
It was all about the 2016 election when it started.
00:09:05.180
So when this thing kicked off, it wasn't enough for them to be able to just get the investigation going.
00:09:16.560
So in order to collect this information, there was a two-pronged approach.
00:09:27.560
They retained this firm, the lawyers at this firm, Mark Elias and Michael Sussman.
00:09:35.100
Perkins Coy, in turn, goes and employs a group, an investigative group, called Fusion GPS, run by the corrupt Glenn Simpson.
00:09:50.740
Glenn Simpson turns around and hires Orbis Investigations.
00:09:57.560
in London, and he brings on this guy named Christopher Steele.
00:10:01.760
And Christopher Steele, in turn, turns around and goes to a bunch of people that he knows from his time at MI6.
00:10:15.480
Igor Danchenko, who was working for the Brookings Institute, the same Brookings Institute that had Fiona Hill, right?
00:10:22.840
But we're not going to go down all the line on this.
00:10:25.340
But Igor Danchenko becomes the source for this dossier.
00:10:33.440
There's Russian disinfo pouring throughout this entire thing.
00:10:44.680
It then, at the same time, gets sent to the national security state in order to get this investigation going.
00:10:54.800
Because Clinton wanted this investigation out there, number one, but also wanted to get the fact that it was happening in the media and on the headlines.
00:11:05.000
Remember, she's under investigation at this point for her email server and having classified information on there that she was then leaking all over the place from her personal house.
00:11:15.180
She wanted an investigation on Trump, and she wanted the headline out there.
00:11:27.240
Special counsel Durham's office announced that a federal grand jury returned an indictment in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Virginia,
00:11:35.580
charging Igor Danchenko, a Russian citizen residing in Virginia, with five counts of making false statements to the FBI.
00:11:41.480
The charges in the indictment stem from statements by Danchenko relating to sources that he used in providing to a U.K. investigative firm.
00:11:49.740
That's Christopher Steele that prepared what are identified in the indictment as company reports.
00:11:54.340
The company reports that's known as the Steele dossier, the Steele dossier, which, of course, was completely fake,
00:12:01.440
and they were mixing information that was already publicly known with stuff that was completely false,
00:12:06.500
places they would find in, like, 4chan and, like, all sorts of just junk rumors that they were all compiling together
00:12:12.560
with false information about individuals like Sergei Millian and just completely, you know, completely raunchy stories.
00:12:20.180
But it was enough to pique the interest and the confirmation bias of the people in the media and the national security state.
00:12:28.380
These people like James Clapper, by the way, who goes around, wants desperately to maintain his position as the head of the entire national security state.
00:12:41.360
So he works with John Brennan, and they run around.
00:12:45.100
They run around the government with this dossier.
00:12:51.600
They're handing it to people that don't like Trump in the Republican Party.
00:12:54.960
They're handing it to people in the Democrat Party.
00:12:56.380
They're doing everything they can to get this story out there.
00:12:59.600
They're going to individual after individual in the media.
00:13:02.760
Michael Isikoff over at Yahoo News is one of the first people to bite into this poisoned apple,
00:13:08.760
and he starts writing it up, other people, Mother Jones, start writing it up.
00:13:14.240
We'll talk about this in a minute until CNN finally bites in January of 2017 after the presidential election, but before the inauguration.
00:13:25.520
But you have to understand that it's Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, and Igor Danchenko.
00:13:32.660
These are the people that Durham is digging into incredibly,
00:13:36.480
and he's pulling out email after email from the media directly with Fusion GPS because he's already got the indictment on Danchenko.
00:13:45.080
And if he can find other instances of false statements or provable crimes, he's going to go for them because that's exactly what Durham is doing.
00:13:53.860
What we learned during the campaign was that very serious computer science experts,
00:14:00.860
people who work closely with the United States government,
00:14:05.020
had uncovered this secret hotline between the Alpha Bank, the Russian bank, and the Trump organization.
00:14:12.160
Now, of course, we didn't know for sure if, in fact, that were the case,
00:14:17.700
and we knew that given how serious these computer scientists were,
00:14:22.680
So it wasn't surprising to learn that even as of last week, the FBI is still looking into this.
00:14:27.640
And do you have any idea what they're looking for?
00:14:30.420
Of course, I don't have a line into the FBI on this,
00:14:32.760
but what I know based on public reporting is that there is very unusual server activity
00:14:38.520
between this Russian bank and the Trump organization,
00:14:41.120
which suggests contact that took place over the course of the campaign.
00:14:44.820
Getting answers to what the nature of that contact was and why they were going to lengths to hide it,
00:14:52.160
to encrypt it, is really important, and the American people deserve answers.
00:14:55.700
And that was Jake Sullivan peddling what's come to be known as the Alpha Bank hoax.
00:15:02.880
Oh, right, he's the White House national security advisor under President Biden.
00:15:08.340
You wonder why America's national security is falling apart in every single one of the sectors we're looking at,
00:15:13.680
whether it be the border, whether it be Afghanistan, whether it be Ukraine,
00:15:18.220
It's because he got people like Jake Sullivan who have no idea what they're doing
00:15:22.420
and have the mental acuity of some kind of, you know, field mouse actually running this thing.
00:15:36.420
Why is it that Durham is looking so deeply into this?
00:15:40.460
Well, we saw this piece out of the Washington Post.
00:15:42.440
Actually, story-wise, this one didn't go very far because they're trying multiple things.
00:15:46.420
And Sussman and Perkins Coy, they're involved in all of them.
00:15:52.480
The Alpha Bank hoax, and this was first reported in the Washington Post,
00:15:56.160
was that a server somewhere deep in the heart of Russia
00:15:59.780
was communicating secretly with another server at the Trump administration.
00:16:05.860
In fact, excuse me, the Trump organization, the Trump Tower itself.
00:16:14.760
You know, it makes you feel like you're in a spy novel, right?
00:16:17.180
You go look at Isikoff's books and some of the other books about this.
00:16:19.820
They all look like they're some, like, Tom Clancy novel.
00:16:23.140
You know, and if you're from that generation, you know, it might speak directly to you.
00:16:29.160
A team of left-wing plagiarists and propagandists went in, essentially, and dummied the data.
00:16:40.960
They made fake data travel between the Trump Organization server and this Alpha Bank server,
00:16:48.920
and then dummied up a report and then sped that off, sent that off to people within our national security state
00:16:57.320
and people in the media to try to make it look as if it was real.
00:17:04.100
These included tech mogul, Rodney Jaffa, people at Georgia Tech, and a guy at a firm, a data firm, known as ZetaLytics.
00:17:15.580
Why were all of these people involved in faking up this data, in making it so false?
00:17:22.360
And there was even a researcher, by the way, and The Federalist has done great reporting on this,
00:17:27.420
and Margo Cleveland specifically had the exclusive, that one of the researchers,
00:17:32.480
and I believe he's from Georgia Tech, actually said at one point during this whole thing that,
00:17:37.560
you know, guys, I don't think this data says what you want it to say,
00:17:41.800
and yet you're claiming that this is some kind of secret communication,
00:17:45.900
This is just basic, you know, protocol packet switching.
00:17:49.260
This is not something that is any kind of nefarious activity whatsoever.
00:17:56.200
It didn't matter because they were not making these reports to provide technical truth or technical accuracy.
00:18:03.760
They were doing so to cause an investigation to begin.
00:18:08.100
And we're going to get into this in a second because we're going to talk about James Baker,
00:18:13.380
the general counsel of the FBI, who was reached out to as part of this investigation.
00:18:25.400
Why is an FBI official, former FBI official from the Obama administration, now running Twitter?
00:18:34.280
I wonder, at least their legal side, and I wonder if Elon Musk, we already saw his comment the other day,
00:18:41.600
because Cernovich was posting about this, and Elon Musk says, doesn't look good.
00:18:50.380
And Elon Musk, get these people out of your company.
00:18:55.640
A CNN exclusive, CNN has learned that the nation's top intelligence officials provided information
00:19:02.380
to President-elect Donald Trump and to President Barack Obama last week
00:19:06.540
about claims of Russian efforts to compromise President-elect Trump.
00:19:11.520
The information was provided as part of last week's classified intelligence briefings
00:19:16.940
regarding Russian efforts to undermine the U.S. elections.
00:19:20.580
I've been working on this story with Jim Sciutto and Evan Perez and Carl Bernstein.
00:19:25.640
We've all been working on this, and they all join me now.
00:19:28.540
So let me start with my colleague, Jim Sciutto.
00:19:34.100
Multiple U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN
00:19:37.500
that classified documents on Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election
00:19:42.220
presented last week to President Obama and to President-elect Trump
00:19:45.920
included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal
00:19:55.760
Jake Tapper, Jim Sciutto, lying to the world about this dossier,
00:20:01.360
spreading the disinformation campaign, domestic propaganda to the American people.
00:20:08.180
By the way, that same Jake Tapper and Jim Sciutto later received an award for that report
00:20:18.340
It was part of the disinformation campaign, domestic propaganda.
00:20:21.280
They received an award for it from the White House Correspondents Association.
00:20:25.860
And I was in the room in 2018 watching them on stage get an award for disinformation and propaganda.
00:20:35.180
That's who Jake Tapper and Jim Sciutto and all of these people are.
00:20:42.340
So we went all the way back to the past, but now let's bring it back to the present.
00:20:48.120
Because what we've latest heard, and the post-millennial had the story,
00:20:52.440
a Clinton-connected lawyer indicted by John Durham for lying about Trump's ties to Russia.
00:20:58.620
So this is the current indictment that we're looking at.
00:21:01.560
John Durham has indicted Michael Sussman, Clinton-connected and Turi,
00:21:09.200
He texted James Baker, who I just told you about, is now the general counsel of Twitter.
00:21:13.380
But back in the day, James Baker, 2016, James Baker was the general counsel for the FBI.
00:21:20.900
And, you know, I guess when you're one of these Clinton-connected lawyers working for Perkins Coy,
00:21:25.580
you can just text on over to the general counsel of the FBI.
00:21:30.880
Somebody's bothering you, you just text over to the FBI, right?
00:21:33.520
I got some of my neighbors, you know, my neighbors, you know, partying too loud or something.
00:21:39.820
You know, James Baker, go do something about that, right?
00:21:49.320
He lied because he said, I'm not doing this on behalf of a client.
00:21:53.020
I'm doing this out of patriotism, for love of country, because I care so much about all of you.
00:22:00.000
That's the indictment that's going through now.
00:22:03.440
Because, of course, as you can imagine, a well-connected lawyer like this, that's a made man.
00:22:09.060
And when you're going after a made man in Washington, D.C., you're going to have the entire legal establishment against you.
00:22:16.480
And you're going to have the entire media against you.
00:22:19.240
So that's why the Durham investigation is not getting the press that it deserves.
00:22:23.660
Now, do we think that this means that all the people, right, I want to be clear about this, that we're involved in this corruption, are going to face justice?
00:22:34.760
But at the same time, I wanted to take a day and do this deep dive.
00:22:39.020
And the whole team worked so hard to pull all of this together, all of those clips, all of this research, the video that you're seeing, to let everybody know what's going on with this.
00:22:51.720
And maybe, just maybe, we ought to be paying it a little more attention.
00:22:56.340
And so ends the Human Events special, the Durham investigation.
00:23:09.360
But the fact that this information is finally becoming public after years and years to the American people is fantastic.
00:23:18.060
If you want more on this, by the way, go watch the fantastic documentary, and I'm in it, directed by my friend Amanda Milius, The Plot Against the President.
00:23:28.300
Ladies and gentlemen, this information is so important.
00:23:44.880
So when you see people out there asking, what's going on with the Durham investigation?
00:23:58.300
Ladies and gentlemen, as always, you have my permission to lay ashore.
