Well, that's the reason they did crossfire hurricane, because they never thought anybody would ever find out about it.

And then when Donald Trump did win,

And he had Michael Flynn in there who already had a bone to pick with the CIA.

He would have discovered Crossfire Hurricane probably very quickly.

And once he had discovered Crossfire Hurricane, their whole house of cards would have fallen and we would have had prosecutions probably in 2017.

Correct.

Had to get him out of there as quick as possible before he found everything else out.

I'll give you another one that people haven't even really caught on to yet, because if you're not in the intelligence community, you probably wouldn't recognize this.

And only somebody that's worked counterintelligence would realize this.

When Comey gives the private counterintelligence defensive briefing to Trump.

He mentions the dossier to Trump, and Trump outright says, it's a lie.

It's a lie.

Now, Comey knew at that time that it was a lie.

He knew that there was no Russian collusion.

So when he essentially intimated to the incoming president that the Russians had compromise on him, I believe he was trying to hoover him.

I think he was trying to intimidate him to try and say, hey, we're the FBI.

We have secret stuff about you, and you better toe the line.

And Trump doesn't toe the line for anyone.

So they tried to do it in the office, Comey directly to Trump.

Right.
