00:00:00.000 Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, August 5th.
00:00:05.900 So, seems like good old Tom Cotton and John Thune caught yet again doing some nefarious things.
00:00:16.540 John Solomon from Just the News broke the news just moments ago that
00:00:19.920 Majority Leader John Thune and Senator Tom Cotton are blocking the DOJ investigator Joe DiGenova
00:00:25.940 from obtaining the transcripts of John Brennan's interview with Senate Judiciary and Intel
00:00:30.800 committees. This, of course, is holding up the investigation into Brennan and his role in the
00:00:36.020 deep state coup to take down President Trump in 2016. Apparently, Acting Attorney General Todd
00:00:41.480 Blanche refuses to authorize a subpoena to the U.S. Senate to obtain those documents. It doesn't
00:00:47.960 make much sense. Here's John Solomon. Take a listen to what he had to say. And once again,
00:00:53.940 John Thune obfuscating and lying once again. Here he is. Take a listen to John Solomon.
00:00:59.800 I'm going to go back to being a reporter for a second. I do not know this information
00:01:03.340 from anything I've gained in government. I can tell you with 100% certainty that Republicans
00:01:09.680 are obstructing the investigation into weaponization. There are two Republicans I
00:01:15.740 name by name, Senator John Thune and Senator Tom Cotton. They have refused for months,
00:01:23.820 four months now. The first request came in late January, early February. They are refusing thus
00:01:29.980 far to provide to Joe DiGenova, to the prosecutors in Florida, to the Miami U.S. Attorney, to the
00:01:36.880 Justice Department, the transcripts of John Brennan's interviews with the Senate Intelligence
00:01:43.160 Committee. They have refused to do so. I'm going to call out a third name because I don't understand
00:01:48.360 the Justice Department's behavior. When a body that's separate of the executive branch doesn't
00:01:53.440 comply, every other time in American history, go back to Iran-Contra, go back to Watergate,
00:01:59.100 the Justice Department subpoenas the Congress. For some reason, the acting attorney general,
00:02:04.660 who wants to be the permanent attorney general, has not authorized a subpoena to the United States
00:02:11.460 Senate to get those documents. Those documents will allow the prosecutors in Miami to decide
00:02:16.960 whether the charges are warranted against John Brennan. The idea that Republican senators will
00:02:23.020 not cooperate with the Republican administration is ridiculous politically, but it's illegal.
00:02:30.180 It's obstruction. There ought to be a grand jury subpoena sitting in the Senate clerk's office,
00:02:34.700 and there ought to be a court case yesterday compelling this because the Justice Department
00:02:40.200 has been delayed by eight months by two Republican senators who have the responsibility and the
00:02:46.100 ability to deliver this. You want to get to the grand conspiracy case, you need the missing evidence
00:02:50.640 and the Senate possesses it. And as of this date, I can find no evidence. They've turned it over
00:02:56.060 and there is no grand jury subpoena because the clerk of the Senate would have to report it
00:03:00.620 publicly. I just checked the congressional record again today. So Todd Blanche, Tom Cotton,
00:03:05.960 John Thune, you got some explaining to do.
00:03:08.740 There you have it.
00:03:09.480 John Thune caught in yet another issue, the fraud of John Thune.
00:03:14.120 And we got news today that he actually is looking to rerun for election in 2028.
00:03:21.000 Good luck.
00:03:21.880 The White House today revealed that they're declassifying information on James Comey's secret May 2017 FBI investigation into President Trump.
00:03:29.860 In 2019, fire FBI director Andrew McCabe admitted he opened a counterintelligent investigation into President Trump in May of 2017, shortly after President Trump fired Comey as FBI director.
00:03:42.140 McCabe was investigating whether Trump was acting as a Russian agent.
00:03:45.960 There you have it again, Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:03:48.720 McCabe also opened a criminal investigation into Trump for possible obstruction of justice for firing Comey.
00:03:55.520 Imagine that.
00:03:56.980 Comey's firing ultimately led to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel by Rod Rosenstein.
00:04:01.520 And you folks all remember the rest.
00:04:04.660 What a total joke.
00:04:06.440 What a total travesty.
00:04:08.800 And a waste of government resources for this country, folks.
00:04:14.640 It was a heck of a night last night.
00:04:16.100 If you guys followed the elections over in Michigan, folks, this is the socialist takeover.
00:04:22.560 Make no mistake.
00:04:23.540 It is here.
00:04:24.260 And it is here to stay.
00:04:26.500 You had the fellow up there who's running for Senate, absolute joke, El Saeed.
00:04:33.940 He now faces Rogers in the November general election.
00:04:38.620 But this is a socialist takeover, folks.
00:04:40.840 Make no mistake about it.
00:04:42.660 We are here.
00:04:44.300 And it seems the Democrat Party is embracing it.
00:04:48.000 Kamala Harris embracing El Saeed, endorsing him today for his general election.
00:04:53.800 It's a travesty in this country.
00:04:55.720 But folks, please be sure to join us tonight and each and every night 6 p.m. Eastern time for the Great America Show
