"Pop The Trunk Joe, The Special Prosecutor Needs To Search Your Corvette"

surprised at all. Garland had to do this. He was backed into the corner the instant. They found yet more documents, first at the Penn Center, then in the garage, you know, by the corvette. I don't know if they're like under the spare tire where exactly they were. And then we discovered, oops, we found a third bunch of documents at the residence somewhere. I don't know if it's you in the cloak closet, stuffed into his shoes. It's not clear Garland is miserable

doing this, but he had no choice. It was like why a hostage video. I mean, it's face was, oh my gosh. Yes, I can't believe what I'm even having to read on National TV. This announcement is a big damn deal. This makes the bidendoj's efforts to go after Donald J. Trump a billion times harder and a billion times more complicated. They are going, oh crap, o crap, oh crap. Well, let's watch Merritt Garland and you can

want to play that. And before we get that, I want to say thank you to Patriot Mobile or sponsor. If you've not checked out Patriot Mobile, check them out.

When announcing a special prosecutor to look into the sitting president nine States of America. Earlier today, I signed an order appointing Robert her a special Counsel for the matter I've just described. The document authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated

the law in connection with this matter. The Special Council will not be subject to the day to day supervision of any official of the Department, but he must comply with the regulations, procedures, and policies of the Department. Mister Herr has a long and distinguished career as a prosecutor. In two thousand and three, he joined the Department's Criminal Division, where he worked on counter terrorism, corporate fraud, and appellate matters.

From two thousand and seven until twenty fourteen, mister Hurr served as an assistant US Attorney for the District of Maryland, where he prosecuted matters ranging from violent crime to financial fraud. In twenty seventeen, mister Hurr rejoined the Department as the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. In twenty eighteen, he was nominated and confirmed to serve as a US Attorney for

the District of Maryland. As US Attorney, he supervised some of the departments more important national security, public corruption, and other high profile matters. I will ensure that mister Hurr receives all the resources he needs to conduct his work. As I have said before, I strongly believe that the normal processes of this Department can handle all investigations with integrity, but under the regulation, the extraordinary circumstances here require the

appointment of a special counsel for this matter. This appointment underscores for the public the Department's commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters, and to making decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law. I am confident that mister Herr will carry out his responsibility in an even handed and urgent manner, and in an accordance with the highest traditions of this Department. Thank you all.

Have you ever spoken to the President about this investigation? Sir, no questions. He walked out there as fast as he could. You see him say it this way, you can tell he's like, I've lost control. I can't protect Joe Biden now. And if you look at a special prosecutor, they're gonna dig and people are going to ask you this question. So I'm going to ask it. Who is this special prosecutor? What do we know about him? Is he part of the swamp or a guy that may actually do the

job the right way? So let me say a couple of things for the folks who are watching this on YouTube. And this is one of our video episodes. You were able to watch that you were able to actually see Merrick Garland see the absolute pain and agony. For the folks who are listening to this in audio, I can just convey to you that I'm pretty sure the whole time Merrick Garland was actually blinking sos. Yeah, And just take my word for it. That visual que is there,

you know, it's striking. At the end of that clip, he's asked a question, one question from a reporter. Have you talked to Joe Biden about this? And Merrick Garland rural turns walks away. We don't answer. No, stinkin questions at the Department of Justice, no interest in accountability, no interest in that's a pretty important question. What conversation have you had with Joe Biden about this? Unwilling to answer it.

Who is Robert her I don't know. I suspect we're going to hear a lot of discussion about that in the next several days coming forward, the next several weeks coming forward. I've met him. I don't know him well. He was a former clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist, as was I. He clerked I think six years after I did, so we didn't overlap, but the world of

clerks is a pretty small, little ancestuous world. Before that, he clerk for Alex Kazinski, who was a judge on the Ninth Circuit, was at the time one of the top conservative appellate judges in the country. Those are good signs. Most people who clerked for Kazinski and rank Quist not liberal. Our right of center, not one hundred percent ranks. There are Rankuist clerks who are left of center, but most people,

if you're Kazinski rank Quist, are right of center. He's been a prosecutor much of his career, a prosecutor or a lawyer in private practice. I will say one one huge red flag at the outset is Robert Herr was Rod Rosenstein's right hand and for people that forget Rod Rosenstein and how much of a figure he has been over the last several years, explained that. So let's walk

through who was Rod Rosenstein. Rod Rosenstein was the deputy Attorney General under Donald Trump when Jeff Sessions became Attorney General. That appointment and Trump appointed Rod Rosenstein. That appointment was a tragic mistake that visited enormous grief on the Trump White House and the Trump presidency. Rod Rosenstein had been the US attorney under Barack Obama for the state of Maryland. He was the top prosecutor for the Department of Justice in Maryland in the Obama DOJ. Look, Rod is not

a left winger, right, but he's a company man. He's a DOJ company man. And if you look at how the Department of Justice operates, all right. So number one, like most places in Washington, there's an alphabet soup, so the AG is at the top. The number two official in the Department of Justice is the Deputy AG. And in the acronym world, that's called the DAG. The DAG is essentially and everyone calls him the DAG. The DAG is essentially the chief operating officer of the agency. So

the DAG runs DJ day to day. And the way the DAG does that is the DAG has a series of lawyers reporting to him who are what are called a DAGs, which are associate deputy attorneys General. I was an a DAG in the George W. Bush Department of Justice. I was an associate deputy Attorney general in each of the A DAGs is responsible for helping the DAG run the Department of Justice. Now you have multiple a DAGs, and then you have one, this is where Washington really

does get ridiculous. One who is the principal associate deputy attorney general who's known as the paydag. You can't make this up. I'm not. I'm really not. That's the amazingly in Washington could this actually make sense to people? So when Rod Rosenstein was the DAG, he appointed as his paydag, in other words, as his principal guy, his right hand Robert her Now Rod Rosenstein is the one you'll remember Jeff's sessions early on recused himself from the Russia investigation.

So Rod Rosenstein was responsible for that absolute garbage. I've an investigation it was look as listeners of this pod no. My last book, Justice Corrupted. By the way, if you haven't bought Justice Corrupted, go by Justice Corrupted. There's an entire chapter that will walk you through what Rod Rosenstein did with the Russian Vistic investigation, with the corruption, with the disaster. Rod Rosenstein is the one who appointed Robert Muller.

You want to talk about appointing special counsels, Rod Rosenstein is the one who appointed Robert Muller started the whole Russia fiasco to begin with, and Robert her was Rosenstein's right hand. Now about a year into it, her got appointed US Attorney for Maryland, the job Rosenstein had left, and so he succeeded him and took over his US attorney. What I don't know, and will this will come out in the next few days, is how involved her was in the whole Russia disaster, in the Steel dossier, in

the wire taps and surveilling President Trump. I don't know his involvement or not, but we're gonna find that. We're gonna find out and it's gonna matter a lot. The fact that he was Rosenstein's right hand is not an encouraging sign. Let's talk about the documents. There's two timelines that I think are extremely important. One the timeline of how many years these documents were not in a secure location.

If you look at the timeline of when the Pen Center was even created, there are gaps of years where these documents had to be in other places. I've talked to people that have said they think these documents could have been separated some I'm going to his house, to his garage, so I'm going to the Pen Center. They could have been separated multiple times. They could have been

also moved multiple times. And I doubt that it was attorneys that were hired every time to move these documents that he didn't know he had, even though they claimed even this last week, which I think is still absurd, Oh, my attorneys were packing up my office. Attorneys are not traditionally moving companies. But if they were, how many other

times did they move these documents. The second timeline is how long did you have these documents from the beginning, Not just that, but also when did everybody know about this? And it was for election? Day and there wasn't a single leak on this before the midterms. Yeah, so the timeline they've laid out some of the timeline. We'll find out if that timeline is real or not. We don't know right now. But what they are admitting they claim

they first found these documents on November second. Now, November second, if you look at a calendar, is before November eighth, which was election day. Now do you think it might have been a problem if when they found them on November second, they had admitted they found them on November second. Sure, there's a reason they didn't tell anyone until after election day because it let the press just focus on an attack Donald Trump. Donald Trump, This is terrible, Look Biden,

how could you be so irresponsible? He? You know, everyone knows you would never leave. In fact, we have one of those Biden clips to remind people. Take a list and look at this. This is Biden grand standing and this is going to come back to haunt him, I think for probably the next two years of his presidency at bare minimum. Take a look at this. When you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out on the floor of Marlago, what did you think to yourself,

looking at that image, how that could possibly happen? How on anyone could be that irresponsible? And I thought what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods. By that I mean names of people who helped, etc. And it's just totally irresponsible. Now you look at that before before I get your response. Okay, let's look at the last question he answered today on this where he was asked like, how could you be so stupid, mister president,

to have documents literally in your garage? Here it is laid next year corvette. What were you thinking? Let me, uh, We're gonna get a chance to speak on all this God William soon. But I said earlier this week people, and by the way, my corvette is in a lock garage. Okay, so it's not like you're sitting out in the street at any rate. Yes, as well as my corvette. But as I said earlier this week, people know I take classified documents and classified materials seriously, No you don't. They're

in your garage, man, Ben. All I gotta say is karma is a bit yeah. Like the Democrats and the press have been grandstanding, had been ridiculing Donald Trump, had been going after him like crazy. At this point, it appears Biden just keeps finding classified documents. First in the Penn Center, then in the garage next to the corvet at by the way. They also said not just in the garage, they said, and in the room adjoining the garage.

They haven't said what room that is. Now, Look, most houses I've been in, what is the room adjoining the garage? A bathroom? Yeah, maybe the washing machine room or an outside storage room with outside entry that's not exactly secure. Like, I don't know what it is, but I think they don't want to say what it is because like the other the basement bathroom server right for Hill it is. Maybe that's what's there. Maybe he's got Hillary servers. I

don't know that that's there. There's their speculation. Look, and then Merritt Garland said, oh yeah, and they found something else, Like they didn't say where. I don't know if it's like, you know, under his pillow he sleeps snuggling it. Now, I gotta say it's a little bit weird. And to be honest, it's weird that Trump has these documents too. I'm not now I will say past presidents, all of

them have had disputes with the Archives over their papers. Yes, they want it for the Presidential Library, they want it for their story, they want it for their time and off is to show their accomplishments. I get that. But to be clear so people understand this, the vice president cannot declassify anything while they're not. He is zero authority to declassify anything. And listen, I have served in the Senate. I've never served as president or vice president, although I

tried damn hard, but I haven't. You know, Joe Biden spent forty years in the Senate. I can tell you in the Senate there is a zero point zero percent chance that I have a classified document anywhere, because I've never taken a classified document out of the skift. Like in the Senate, the only place you handle classified documents is in the secure room in the basement of the Senate. And if people missed our last podcasts, you talked about

the skift. We talked about the rules and the regulations and the protections of classified documents so that things like this literally don't happen. Go back and listen that. Because you explained how it works for senators, how it works for people to have top secret clearance how it works for people that work in our government, and having them

in your garage is never an appropriate location. Look, when I was at the Department of Justice as an associate Deputy Attorney General, I had a safe in my office, a big safe that when I had classified documents there, you would put in the safe and you would lock the safe. The executive branch you encounter more classified documents, so it's less surprising with presidents. It's interesting that Biden as vice president seems to have these classified documents laying

around everywhere. One of the leagues said that these documents dealt with Ukraine. Some of these did one of the leagues that also ran and possibly China. There's a lot of money that came in from anonymous donors to the Biden pen center. Forty plus million dollars were being funded by communist China on China in the place funded by the Chinese. That's a good idea, yeah, and a place that, let's be clear understand it was not considered a secure location.

He also obviously went off script. I'm sure staff is furious that he said, well, it's where my corvette is and it's locked in my garage, Like Hey, that's a Biden vault here. Everybody calmed down. But when I mean, this is not a secure location, especially before he became the president. Again, like there's still people around his house in Delaware now that because he's the president. But in

this time I was telling the two time frames. There was years here where he had no Secret Service protection, no protection at all. Vice presidents don't get protection afterwards. Usually they're pretty much on their own afterwards. He was gone from this residency in Delaware, which means there was no one watching these documents. Well, but it was bias Corvette.

That's true, So that's safe. And I do hope we actually find out where exactly in the garage, like just in a pile of well even as they showed a campaign ad and now people are zooming in and there's a little pile of documentary ze papers and these and these bags next to whereas corvette is. When he's pulling the corvette out of his garage and back in for some campaign you know purpose he had back in it.

I think it said twenty nineteen. So I also got to say, why are they in this garage with this corvette? Look at it. I've read lots of classified documents. I've never seen one that I've said I want to take this home. Now, I'm not Sandy Burger. I've never stuffed documents down my pants. So I don't understand how Democrats deal with this. But I don't know why these documents were so special to him that he apparently is hiding them throughout his house. Now, listen, let's set aside. We'll

see what this special counsel does. This is going to complicate Joe Biden's life, but the person, how much is it going to complicate it? I mean, this is this one of those where your agenda gets derailed. And this could get nasty because it could connect you as the

big guy and these documents. Because if these documents that he kept dealt with financial issues or things or decisions by our government that have a positive impact on his son's financial dealings in Ukraine, Barisma, China and other financial things, some of these documents could have dealt with those issues,

and if they did, the world of trouble gets vastly larger. Now, look, we have no evidence, no indication right now of what's in those documents other than people of leak that they concerned Iran in the UK and Ukraine, if they concerned Hunter Biden and Barisma business deals, and the whole world changes. If they were documents that are relevant to questions of official corruption by Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, that's a big deal. But we have no indication to that now.

So it's that would change the situation pretty dramatically. Some of this is going to depend on Robert hur and if he is a straightforward by the book prosecutor, or if he is part of the d state that manufactured the Russia case against Donald Trump in the most corrupt way imaginable, if he goes in and his approach to this. Look the Biden Department of Justice. I talk about this in the book Justice Corrupted. They appointed us a special

counsel to look at Lois Lerner. Yeah, and that special counsel was a big Democrat donor who promptly said nothing to see here. All fine. It is possible that this appointment is entirely about optics and his job is just you know, say, well, he's screwed up, but he didn't mean to, and everything's fine. Never mind. That's possible. It's also possible. Look, anytime you have a special counsel that has the potential to balloon and get bigger and bigger

and bigger. Bill Clinton learned that, Donald Trump learned that there's a long history of special counsels of their jurisdictions growing. And so if that happens, that would be a big deal. But even if none of that happens, this has dramatically complicated Merrick Garland's life. It's dramatically complicated. We've talked on this podcast at length. I believe Merrick Garland wants to criminally charge Donald Trump. Yeah, does that take this off

the table in essence? Now, well, we've talked before about the reason they leaked that they were going to prosecute Hunter Biden. Now, remember they want what they've leaked is they want to prosecute Hunter Biden on his personal crimes that only implicate him and don't implicate his dad. And you and I have talked about that. I think they want to do that as political cover to say, see, we prosecute Hunter Biden, we prosecute Donald Trump. Aren't we

even handed? This just changed that whole chessboard, because it ain't complicated that if both Trump and Biden have classified docks and suddenly the bidendj says, we're prosecuting Trump, but not Biden. Even the lap dogs in the corporate media like that question. You can't refrain from asking. And so it's why Merrick Garland looks so miserable because he's looking down the road and his plan of what he thought he was going to do just got screwed up. And

I don't know where this goes. I mean, it really is. And by the way, at this point, it seems every day Biden keeps finding more classified documents. This may not be the end of it. It may not be the end. It has dribbled out. Now it's worth underscoring Joe Biden and or his team knew about this six days before election day. They hit it from the American people. They deliberately hit it for the American people. Now do I know if Joe Biden knew personally know, But they're one

of two scenarios. One he knew, which is probably the case sure, or two if he didn't know. The only reason he wouldn't know is if it's team deliberately didn't tell him, so he could have plausible deniability and say I didn't know. Either way, that deception to try to influence the election is really corrupt. It's corrupt on a level that he will now have to be held accountable for if this prosecutor goes somewhere. Let's talk about the job of the special prosecutor quickly, and by the way,

I will say, look, we're seeing this week. We're seeing suddenly reporters asking real questions, press briefing. We're seeing and not just reporters from Fox, we're seeing CBS, like suddenly, the corporate media. It's it's gotten bad enough that they're being forced to do their jobs. That's an important development. Or is it that the useful idiot is no longer useful and they're saying, we really don't want him to run.

Democrats clearly we're kind of hoping that if there was a bloodbath in the midterms and the Senate was lost and the House was lost, that they would then say, all right, we need a new leader, right, don't for reelection. Then it was very clear they were like, all right, we got to stick with him now because they still

have the Senate. This could be their moment where they say, all right, let's take our hand off of him, and this may be our way to get rid of him, and I wonder if the Democratic Party is now kind of like, all right, we got through the midterms, We don't want to run him in twenty twenty four. We desperately want a new face. We got rid of Pelosi, we got came Jeffreies. This is the makeover. Maybe in

the easiest way to make that makeover happen. So maybe I will say, if you're a hardcore partisan Democrat, this has been a really bad week. Yeah. And if you're a hardcore partisan Democrat who is also a corporate media journalist, which they pretty much all are, you can go after Biden to try to say, Okay, it's time to ride off into the sunset. We want the next generation of

Democrats to run. But that's a dangerous game. Look if if your president resigns in disgrace or doesn't run in disgrace because they're tarred by scandal, because they're facing criminal prosecution, that ain't good. Yeah, it doesn't set well with the next guy up for success well to win. And you know, by the way, all of this is on top of this week. What happened, Well this week, the FAA screwed up and halted all flights for several hours, first time

since September eleventh, every fightay Bent ever happened. Oh well, we got good data points from that Mayor Pete. I'll play this Mayor Pete this week's We got some really good dat out of this, Like this is good news. We're gonna be able to overcome this. Take a look. Now that the system is up and running. Our primary focus is to determine that route cause and I've directed FAA to figure out exactly how this happened. The timeline piece by piece about what was known overnight, going into

last night and then coming out of it. So glitterers or complications happen all the time, but we can't allow them to ever lead to this level of disruption, and we won't ever allow them to lead to a safety problem. Can you promise that? I don't think so, Like, we won't ever let this happen again. But we don't know what happened, and we got some good data points. It's almost like being a small town mayor is not really qualifications to run a major cabinet agency when you know

nothing about the industry. Look you look at at Budajug's tenure his first year in office. We had a major supply chain crisis, which most people hadn't even have focused on what the heck of supply chain was right until the Biden administration screwed it up. In the middle of the biggest crisis the Transportation Department has ever seen, Pete Boodhajedge was on paternity leave and he wasn't at the office.

Then we saw just a couple of months ago we were on the verge of a massive and major rail strike again because the Biden administration had screwed it up. And now oops, the FAA is not able to keep planes in the air safely. And by the way, the Biden administration two years in, does not have an FAA administrator in place. They nominated the guy who runs the Denver Airport who has no experience with issues dealing with safety and aviation. Look run it. Running an airport is

totally different. And by the way, he has major scandal issues, which is part of why the Democrats in the Senate haven't moved him forward and confirmed him because it's not clearly as the votes that could be confirmed. So two years into it, they don't have ahead of the FAA. That's a problem. It's a competus problem. Oh and by the way, in the middle of all of this, they

also tossed out a trial balloon, let's ban all gas stoves. Yeah, that was just some random thing, an issue that came out there, like we don't want you cooking on gas anymore? Like what in the hell? Like this has been one of those weeks. It's like, okay, you guys, uh, you're coming up with some insane things and it's for all virtue signaling. Can't can't wait to see what happens next week. All right, as we wrap up, I want to do

something just interesting. As I was on my phone and I was looking at at different doing research for this show, I stumbled across an article in Britannica that I just thought was interesting, which is the Secret Service code names for US presidents. And I didn't know that though. This so starting with JFK. JFK's codename. I have no idea Lancer. I gotta figure that one out. Richard Nixon searchlight? That actually makes sense? Water? Did I get that one? Gerald

Ford pass key? I don't get that one. I don't know what that means. Jimmy Carter, you're gonna like this one. Deacon that's actually pretty good for him. That makes a lot of sense. Ronald Reagan, he's got it's got to be a good one. That be a going because it's Reagan. Raw Hide. That totally makes sense. That's just awesome. George Herbert Walker Bush forty one, Timberwolf. I'm curious on that one. Does that go back to CIA days? I don't know.

I don't know the history. Yeah, Bill Clinton, I've got a lot, but I'm sure I'm gonna be wrong on all of them. Horn Dog, Okay, perfect, God, I knew I was right. Now. Okay that that that that's not right, that's that's fake news. Okay, it was actually Eagle Bush forty three. Yep, Trailblazer. I like that one. Obama. I have a feeling they're gonna up his annie just because it was Obama. Renegade. There you go. Trump, this one is probably I would assume bad, but maybe they gave

him something decent at the beginning of his administration. Mogul. That's totally accurate. And Joe Biden document. Celtic. They should have at least gone with Corvette. Actually don't know if it's Celtic or Celtic, but it's spelled Celtic one of the two. It's maybe he's a Boston fanandel where you know he's leaning in on the Irish. So that's not

particularly relevant to the pod today. I just saw that and thought it was interesting, and I figured the folks listening to the podwords I like it always bringing up the fun stuff like that. Center. This is gonna be a big story. We're gonna be covering it. We'll have another pod come out on Monday. Don't forget if you have not hit that subscribe or auto download button.
