Uh, the judge in the John Brennan case dismissed his lawsuit, and this is kinda breaking news.
Jon HeroldHOST
38:43
And it's funny, I've been checking the court listener for this every day, waiting for an update, because it's this case where we got the insight, uh, from a dep... or from a, an affidavit from John Brennan's attorney, where he kind of like, "Yeah, Kurt Olsen became the new guy after Bl... or after DeNovelis was out.
Jon HeroldHOST
39:01
And John Brennan is the subject of one investigation, the DC grand jury, and the target of another." Actually, I have that wrong.
Jon HeroldHOST

Michael PopokHOST
63:59
I can't wait to see the affidavit.
Michael PopokHOST
64:01
And then I see the affidavit, and it's from Kurt Olsen among, and a, and a bunch of other election deniers who are mad as a hatter.
Michael PopokHOST
64:09
QAnon conspiracy theorists.
Michael PopokHOST
64:11
Kurt Olsen, special among them, for being in the Trump administration as he was the election integrity director of a made-up office.
Michael PopokHOST
64:22
And then I see he, he, it's his affidavit supplied to the FBI that was used to go grab Fulton County.
Michael PopokHOST
64:30
But there's a problem with that, in that in the last three days, there's reporting that Kurt Olsen failed a lie detector test.
Michael PopokHOST
64:38
He's a liar, I guess is what I'm trying to say, about his contacts with foreign, uh, countries and foreign agents, so he couldn't get a security clearance.
Michael PopokHOST
64:49
So he got bounced off of the special prosecutor team on the grand conspiracy investigation of the Obama administration era, uh, intelligence community, which is a, the, the, the self-identi- the identified enemy of Donald Trump.
Wayne ShutskyCORRESPONDENT
1:04
A federal judge four years ago dismissed their lawsuit, which argued voting machines are not reliable and prone to security breaches.
Wayne ShutskyCORRESPONDENT
1:11
The judge also handed down $122,000 in sanctions against attorneys Andrew Parker and Kurt Olsen because they brought a number of misleading and baseless claims, including that Arizona does not use paper ballots and that voting machines aren't properly tested.
Wayne ShutskyCORRESPONDENT
1:25
Parker and Olsen appealed those sanctions, but the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the penalties.
Wayne ShutskyCORRESPONDENT
1:30
Parker then turned to the US Supreme Court, which denied his request to review the sanctions.

That means he's not a target of the grand conspiracy case." All right, so DiGenova left September 10th.
speaker_0HOST
89:33
September 28th, Kurt Olsen quits.
speaker_0HOST
89:38
Now, Kurt Olsen, you may remember him from Arizona and the election fraud stuff from 2020 and all those things.
speaker_0HOST
89:44
Kurt Olsen has been, like, this key person trying to solve election fraud stuff.
speaker_0HOST
89:50
And for a while there, I thought this guy was on the up and up.
speaker_0HOST
89:52
I don't think this guy's on the up and up anymore.

That's what got the search warrant approved.

Yeah
Patrick ByrneGUEST

Allison GillHOST

An FBI whistleblower says the White House pushed an unconstitutional probe of peaceful protesters in Los Angeles during ICE crackdowns.
Allison GillHOST
1:21
And it appears as though Kurt Olsen, who recently left the grand conspiracy investigation, failed his polygraph test required for security clearance.
Allison GillHOST
1:29
This is Unjustified.
Allison GillHOST
1:30
[upbeat music] Hey, everybody.

Allison GillHOST
9:11
Apparently, DiGenova lashed out at the two DC prosecutors that Blanche recently sent to Florida, and Blanche cussed out DiGenova and ordered him into his office, but DiGenova quit instead.
Allison GillHOST
9:24
So we'll, we'll get to that.
Allison GillHOST
9:26
We also learned in this Times article that Kurt Olsen, the, the, uh, election denier who also quit, apparently failed his polygraph and couldn't get the clearance necessary to review classified documents.
Allison GillHOST
9:38
Like, if you want to investigate the classified documents case, you're gonna need clearance, and apparently he couldn't get it.
Harrison SmithHOST
51:56
"More trouble was to come.
Harrison SmithHOST
51:58
Soon after, top di Genova deputy, Kurt Olsen, also quit.
Harrison SmithHOST
52:02
It turned out he had failed a polygraph test about his contacts with foreigners, which imperiled his security clearance, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Harrison SmithHOST
52:09
Mr. Olsen says he complied with all the requirements regarding, regarding foreign contacts and had not resigned over his clearance, but declined to say more.
Alicia MenendezHOST
2:10
Donald Trump's hallmark retribution case carried out by his Justice Department, the grand conspiracy case, was just as far-fetched when it was revealed at the White House podium last year as it is now.
Alicia MenendezHOST
2:22
Brand-new reporting in The New York Times details how the case, which alleges that former law enforcement and intelligence officials have conspired to undermine Donald Trump's political career over the last decade, has descended into turmoil in light of two Trump allies, Do- Joe diGenova and Kurt Olsen exiting the case.
Alicia MenendezHOST
2:40
On diGenova's departure, The New York Times reports this, quote, "The attorney general, having soured on Mr. diGenova, was livid that he had lashed out at two prosecutors sent from Washington to help move the case along.
Alicia MenendezHOST
2:53
Mr. Blanche ordered him to his office on September 11th, or else, according to people briefed on the exchange.
Alicia MenendezHOST
2:59
Assuming he would be fired, Mr. diGenova quit.
Alicia MenendezHOST
3:02
More trouble was to come." Just a few weeks later, Kurt Olsen dealt another blow to the investigation when he departed because he, quote, "Failed a polygraph test about his contacts with foreigners, which imperiled his security clearance, according to two people familiar with the matter." Olsen told The Times he complied with all requirements regarding foreign contacts and did not quit over his clearance.
Alicia MenendezHOST
3:23
But the two departures revealed months of dysfunction in the case, which has also faced major hurdles because, quote, "To date, Mr. diGenova and others involved in the case have found it difficult and time-consuming to meet the standards of evidence and jurisdiction needed to prove anything close to a conspiracy in a court of law." Even so, a Justice Department official said leaders in Washington had full confidence in the prosecutors now working on the case, and would act to uphold the law should evidence of misconduct present itself.
Alicia MenendezHOST
3:54
While that piece of Donald Trump's revenge agenda falters, the White House is taking another one of their failed retribution cases into their own hands.
Jon HeroldHOST
8:50
And he decided to quit because he thought he's going to be fired by somebody else that wasn't Trump.
Jon HeroldHOST
8:55
Soon after, a top DiGenova deputy, Kurt Olsen, also quit.
Jon HeroldHOST
8:59
This is a fairly interesting one.
Jon HeroldHOST
9:00
No clue if it's true.
Jon HeroldHOST
12:49
And that was before he was named as the special prosecutor investigating the Russia collusion hoax.
Jon HeroldHOST
12:54
Um, but this part right here, "The prosecutors also want testimony from Mr. Brennan, but amid the recent turmoil, they pushed back his appearance from its initial date on October 15th to at least early December." So we found out back when DiGenova first quit, based on a filing from John Brennan's attorneys, 'cause they're suing a whole bunch of people from Trump to m- multiple members of his administration and people investigating th- this whole RICO ground thing.
Jon HeroldHOST
13:22
He sued them to like, "Hey, you need to with-- like hold your communications because this is political persecution." In there, they, they detailed the conversations they had with Kurt Olsen, how he is the target of one investigation, the, the one in, um, Washington DC for lying to Congress, and he is the subject of another.
Jon HeroldHOST
13:41
And by the way, something we learned a- in here that I forgot about, the referral for the Washington grand jury that is currently, you know, investigating Brennan for lying to Congress, that was referred to him by John Ratcliffe, CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
