But the FBI opened a probe into the sitting president of the United States to ask the question of whether he was working for a foreign power at that time. And what evidence could they have possibly had for that, apart from the fact that he fired Jim Comey? I mean, they had no evidence. If there's nothing under those redactions... More than that.

Then that itself, it's an extraordinary scandal just by itself, right?

They hired a private investigator who looked around in that case, I remember, and there were some odd details there. The FBI ended up in possession of his laptop.

Yeah, this was one of the first reasons I started to look at that case because I got a call from somebody about that. And I don't know why that was the case, but it is the case.

No, and, you know, even if it is just an unsolved murder of a type that they normally solve, the whole situation, that whole timeline was very strange. It doesn't really make sense. The, you know, the... hacking of the DNC, the bringing in of CrowdStrike, when the information was released online. They never really proved that case, but they immediately made inferences about it.

And there was an incredibly sophisticated kind of public campaign to create this narrative that, you know, upon closer examination turns out not to be true. So we got to go back and find out what did exactly happen there. Why did they order this crossfire hurricane probe? Why were they sending informants in after Trump or people in his orbit? And we know they did.

And who were all those informants? It'd be interesting. I have some suspicions. Yeah. Well, we know who some of them were, right? But we don't know who all of them were. I mean, I did a story once.

to the effect that the people in the House Intelligence Committee who were looking at this, you know, Kash Patel's initial probe, that they came up with a number that it was 26 different people who were being investigated in Trump's orbit. No matter what happened, it's a huge story because it's a political espionage story. It's not unlike Watergate, really. Exactly.
