Hello everybody, I'm John Fawcett with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, July 9th.
00:00:05.440
The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into two of the most deserving people possibly on this planet.
00:00:14.360
Now this investigation comes as some backlash from the FBI and DOJ about their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
00:00:22.400
Of course, we all know this week, A.G. Pam Bondi putting an end to that case,
00:00:26.520
clearing Jeffrey Epstein of any blackmail, any murder that may have been done to him, any of that good stuff.
00:00:33.360
Cases close over, so the FBI has got a new case.
00:00:37.060
Former CIA Director John Brennan and disgraced former FBI Director James Comey,
00:00:42.100
those are the two latest criminals under investigation.
00:00:45.160
Yeah, I say criminals because they're under criminal investigation and we all know.
00:00:49.300
They're under investigation for potential wrongdoing related to the now debunked Russia collusion hoax,
00:00:55.380
including allegedly lying under oath to Congress, according to new bombshell revelations from DOJ sources.
00:01:02.540
According to those DOJ sources, CIA Director John Ratcliffe formally referred evidence of Brennan's misconduct
00:01:08.380
to FBI Director Cash Patel for criminal review.
00:01:11.840
Now in a second criminal review of James Comey, those details are being kept under wraps,
00:01:16.680
so we can only imagine what he's possibly being looked at for.
00:01:20.920
I don't know if it would be under wraps if it was not a big deal.
00:01:25.580
So we'll keep you posted as we figure out what's going on with the Comey case.
00:01:29.280
A source is just saying that feds are exploring a potential conspiracy between Brennan and Comey
00:01:33.460
to politicize the 2016 Intel Community Assessment, the ICA.
00:01:38.120
Now just last week there was a CIA report that revealed James Comey,
00:01:41.520
John Brennan, and former DNI James Clapper worked together to perfectly corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation
00:01:51.380
The three corrupt Obama officials even included the Steele dossier in their quest to, quote,
00:01:56.700
screw Trump, knowing at the time that the Steele dossier was complete rubbish.
00:02:01.380
For the next three years, Democrats and deep state operatives all over the place
00:02:04.940
used these documents in an attempt to impeach Trump and run a coup on the White House.
00:02:10.380
Now this probe is set to focus on Brennan's false statements regarding the infamous, as I said,
00:02:15.680
Steele dossier, which was funded, of course, by Hillary's campaign and the DNC
00:02:20.260
and weaponized by the intelligence agencies in an effort to sabotage Donald Trump's presidency
00:02:28.620
Brennan testified under oath in Congress in 2023 that he opposed including the unverified Steele dossier
00:02:35.220
in the intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference,
00:02:39.700
but recently declassified emails and internal CIA review proved quite the opposite.
00:02:46.100
According to these internal CIA memos, Brennan insisted on including the Steele dossier
00:02:50.800
even after senior analysts warned it would jeopardize the credibility of the entire intelligence report.
00:02:58.140
Quote, despite these objections, the new CIA review states that Brennan showed a preference
00:03:04.480
for narrative consistency over analytical soundness.
00:03:09.720
The narrative, of course, was a basis for Crossfire Hurricane,
00:03:13.040
the witch hunt, and which launched the Mueller investigation,
00:03:16.500
both of which turned up zero evidence of any Trump-Russia collusion.
00:03:21.400
The Marxist Dems have lost their mind, and it's been some time coming.
00:03:25.060
And in other news, Senate Republicans smash fundraising records by an eye-popping margin.
00:03:32.240
Senate Republicans' main outside groups raised more than $85 million in the first half of 2025,
00:03:42.880
Axios is reporting today that Senate Leadership Fund and its non-profit partner, One Nation,
00:03:47.960
more than doubled the total they posted over the same stretch in 2023.
00:03:51.660
Two groups now hold $83 million in cash on hand, according to the latest internal figures.
00:03:58.480
Now, the Senate Leadership Fund has $29 million in the bank.
00:04:01.900
That's triple last year's level, five times its 2021 mid-cycle balance.
00:04:07.880
It makes us wonder, did the Senate Republicans really have a problem with fundraising,
00:04:12.020
or was it Mitch McConnell doing some sort of dirty work?
00:04:17.300
Joe Biden's physician, Dr. O'Connor, is refusing to testify before the Oversight Committee
00:04:25.380
House Oversight Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Dr. O'Connor to testify on Biden's mental health
00:04:33.020
Dr. O'Connor initially stalled, and on Wednesday, he showed up to the Rayburn House Office,
00:04:38.160
asserted doctor, patient privilege, and pleaded the Fifth Amendment.
00:04:41.340
Chairman Comer will now take the next steps in getting O'Connor to testify one way or another.
00:04:47.880
The White House is saying they will waive privilege on this case.
00:04:52.900
Speaking of cases, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announcing this week that the city will be
00:04:57.860
joining a private class action lawsuit against the Trump administration over ICE raids.
00:05:03.540
The mayor has sided with these protests against ICE officials and the raids, even defending
00:05:09.700
violent riots that have targeted federal, state, and local law enforcement, saying that
00:05:17.300
That's a mayor of a city who's calling for violence in her own city against her own people,
00:05:25.020
And after two years on the job, ex-CEO Linda Yaccarino announcing this week that she's leaving
00:05:31.220
Hey, Yaccarino tweeting out this afternoon, quote, after two incredible years, I've decided
00:05:38.820
