And instead of doing the job for the American people, they come out and instead come up with government boondoggles that pay themselves billions and billions of dollars or their friends billions and billions of dollars.
which is our dollars, and they want to make sure that that keeps going over and over and over again.
I'll give you a perfect example.
Who cares if you've ever followed Russiagate or any of this other stuff about the deep state?
Chris Wray, the director of the FBI, and Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general then of the DOJ, were tasked with helping us at Congress, where I ran the Russiagate investigation, to expose Russiagate.
We went to them and said, look, you guys didn't do this.
Help us expose it.
And they both doubled down.
You know what they did?
They launched an investigation against me, the senior congressional investigator for Russiagate on the House Intelligence Committee, and six other staffers.
They used grand jury subpoenas to get my personal information, my banking information, my emails, my cell phone information, everything else.
I didn't find out till five years later when Google called me and said, hey, our five-year notification has lapsed.
We can now tell you the DOJ surveilled you.
And we had to turn over documents.
So we exploded that into a federal lawsuit that's still ongoing in the DOJ and FBI.
But those two guys- Hold on.
They're not allowed to say anything but that you can be informed now since it's five years later.
So as a former national security prosecutor, I know you don't just go to Google.
You go to every provider.
You go to all the telecoms.
