Why it looks like Biden has been ‘lying’ for two years: Jonathan Turley

 

>> Laura: JUST HOURS AGO SENATOR

CHUCK GRASSLEY SENT THE WHITE

HOUSE COMMS TEAM INTO SCRAMBLE

MODE.

HE DROPPED WHAT IS KNOWN AS AN

FD 1023 FORM AND IT DETAILS

HOUSE THE BIDENS ALLEGEDLY

COERCED THE BURISMA CEO TO PAY

THEM MILLIONS TO GET RID OF THE

UKRAINIAN PROSECUTOR WHO WAS

INVESTIGATING THE COMPANY BACK

IN 2016.

NOW, THE FBI INTERVIEWED

DETAILED INSIDE WAS OF A HIGHLY

CREDIBLE SOURCE WHO SAID THAT

BURISMA HIRED HUNTER BIDEN TO

PROTECT THE U.S. THROUGH HIS DAD

FROM ALL KIND OF PROBLEMS.

NOW, I WILL LET JOE BIDEN

EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.

>> LISTEN, I'M TELLING YOU,

YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE BILLION

DOLLARS.

I SAID YOU'RE NOT GETTING THE

BILLION.

I'M GOING TO BE LEAVING HERE AND

I THINK IT WAS SIX -- I SAID

LOOK WE ARE LEAVING IN SIX

HOURS.

IF THE PROSECUTOR

♪ FIRED, YOU ARE NOT GETTING THE

MONEY WELL SON OF A [BLEEP] GOT

FIRED.

[LAUGHTER]

>> Laura: LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE GOT

MONEY.

JOINING ME NOW JONATHAN TURLEY

PROFESSOR OF LAW AT GWU AND FOX

NEWS CONTRIBUTOR.

PROFESSOR, AFTER RECEIVING

INFORMATION FROM THE FRAUD,

CHRISTOPHER STEELE, THE FBI

FILED FOR SURVEILLANCE WARRANTS.

BUT AFTER THE ALLEGATIONS FROM

THIS SOURCE, NO SUCH MOVES.

ESSENTIALLY JUST DROPPED IT.

VERY INTERESTING.

>> RIGHT.

IT IS INTERESTING.

THANK YOU, LAURA.

THE FASCINATING THING ABOUT THIS

STORY IS IT GETS WORSE BY THE

DAY.

YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MORE

INTERESTING THINGS THAT WE SAW

IN RECENT WEEKS WAS BILL BARR

BEING INTERVIEWED.

AND BARR SAID THAT HE NEVER SHUT

DOWN THIS INVESTIGATION.

BUT HE ALSO ADDED THAT HE SENT

IT TO A U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

THAT HE SAID FOUND-FACTS THAT

THE FBI OVERLOOKED.

NOW, THAT ALONE WAS SORT OF

CHILLING.

THE FBI HAS A SOURCE SAYING THAT

BIDEN IS ACCEPTING MILLIONS OF

DOLLARS.

AND THAT WE NOW KNOW THAT THIS

SOURCE REPORTEDLY SAID THAT THIS

WAS MONEY TO BE PAID TO HUNTER

FOR THE PROTECTION FROM HIS DAD.

I MEAN, YOU CAN'T GET MORE

SERIOUS THAN THAT.

AND, YET, WHEN BARR SENT TO THE

U.S. ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, WHICH IS

NOT THERE TO INVESTIGATE CRIMES,

HE SAID THEY FOUND ADDITIONAL

DEALER THAT THE FBI OVERLOOKED.

IT WAS THEN SENT TO DELAWARE AND

THERE IT APPEARS TO HAVE DIED.

AND SO THERE ARE SO MANY

QUESTIONS THAT WE NEED TO HAVE

ANSWERED OF WHY THIS TOOK SUCH A

CIRCUITOUS ROUTE, WHY THE FBI

DIDN'T FULLY INVESTIGATE.

WHAT DID THE U.S. ATTORNEY'S

OFFICE FIND IN ADDITION?

BUT, MOST IMPORTANTLY, WHAT

HAPPENED?

WHY DID IT GO TO DELAWARE AND

WAS NEVER SEEN AGAIN?

>> Laura: WELL, THE

WHISTLEBLOWERS YESTERDAY,

JONATHAN, WERE ASKED ABOUT THIS

PARTICULAR FORM.

WATCH THIS.

>> THE TEAM THAT WAS IN CHARGE

OF INVESTIGATING THE BIDEN

FAMILY FOR TAX CRIMES NEVER

RECEIVED THE FBI DOCUMENT THAT

ALLEGED JOE BIDEN WAS INVOLVED

IN A BRIBERY SCHEME.

>> FOR THE IRS INVESTIGATORS ON

THE CASE?

THE ANSWER IS NO?

>> THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE

CONTAINED ON THAT DOCUMENT THAT

COULD FURTHER CORROBORATE OTHER

INFORMATION.

>> AND NOW WE -- WE FIND IN THE

DOCUMENT THAT APPARENTLY THE

SOURCE DESCRIBED AS HIGHLY

CREDIBLE, SAID THAT THE

PROSECUTOR HAS MANY TEXT

MESSAGES AND RECORDINGS TO SHOW

THAT HE WAS COERCED BY THE

BIDENS TO MAKE THESE PAYMENTS,

TO TRY TO HOLD THAT PROSECUTOR

OFF AGAINST THE COMPANY BURISMA

IN UKRAINE.

TEXT MESSAGES AND DOCUMENTS.

>> THAT'S RIGHT, LAURA.

THE OTHER THING ABOUT THIS, THIS

DOCUMENT, IS THAT IT DOVETAILS

PERFECTLY WITH WHAT COMER AND

OTHER CHAIRMAN HAVE FOUND.

ALSO INCLUDING THE RECENT

DISCLOSURES FROM WAYS AND MEANS,

ABOUT HOW MONEY WENT TO THE

BIDEN FAMILY.

THE DOCUMENT REFERS TO HOW THEY

WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEND MONEY

TO THE, QUOTE: BIG GUY, A TERM

WE HAVE SEEN IN OTHER FILES AS

REFERENCING PRESIDENT BIDEN.

BUT IT SAID THAT THE BIDENS

PREFER TO USE A LABYRINTH OF

DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS, DIFFERENT

CORPORATIONS TO DE THE MONEY.

WELL, THESE COMMITTEES HAVE PUT

TOGETHER A DETAILED ACCOUNT OF

JUST LAYERS UPON LASER OF

CORPORATIONS AND ACCOUNTS USED

AND IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THERE

IS ANY PURPOSE TO THIS

COMPLEXITY EXCEPT TO HIDE

THESE -- THESE TRANSFERS OF

MONEY.

AND SO THE MOST DISTURBING THING

ABOUT THE DOCUMENT IS THAT IT

MIRRORS WHAT WAS RECENTLY

RELEASED BY THESE COMMITTEES

LOOKING AT THE ACTUAL

TRANSACTIONS FROM THESE BANKS.

>> Laura: WELL, AT THIS POINT,

GIVEN EVERYTHING WE HAVE, SHOULD

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL APPOINT

SOME TYPE OF SPECIAL COUNSEL,

INDEPENDENT COUNCIL TO GET TO

THE BOTTOM OF THIS, JONATHAN?

I'M NOT A FAN OF INDEPENDENT

COUNSEL COUNSELS, PERSONALLY BUT

WHAT ABOUT THAT?

>> NOT ONLY HAS THERE BEEN AN

UNASSAILABLE CASE FOR SPECIAL

COUNSEL FOR TWO YEARS, GARLAND

HAS PROVED THE NEED FOR A

SPECIAL COUNSEL.

EVERY DECISION HE HAS MADE HAS

BEEN AGAINST GIVING TRAINERS AND

AFFORDING ACTION TO THESE

ALLEGATIONS.

I MEAN, THE RECORD OF THE FBI

SHOWS PRECISELY WHY WE NEED AN

INDEPENDENT SPECIAL COUNSEL.

THE RELUCTANCE OF GARLAND TO

MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT IS

BAFFLING, AT BEST.

I MEAN, THE PRESIDENT IS ALL

OVER THESE FILES.

THERE'S REFERENCES TO HIS

RECEIVING A POTENTIAL CUT, A

PERCENTAGE OF SOME OF THESE

DEALS.

THE PRESIDENT ALSO STANDS

CONTRADICTED.

YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY,

REPRESENTATIVE GOLDMAN TRIPPED

THE WIRE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

HEARING AND ACTUALLY GOT A

WITNESS TO SAY YEAH, HUNTER

SPOKE TO THE PRESIDENT ABOUT HIS

BUSINESS DEALINGS.

THAT'S SAYING THAT THE PRESIDENT

HAS BEEN LYING FOR TWO YEARS.

>> Laura: WELL, TRUMP IS

INTEEMED FOR A PHONE CALL AND

YOU GET ALL THESE TRANSACTIONS

AND ALL THIS DOCUMENTARY

EVIDEN
