Anyway, I digress.
Hans MahnckeGUEST
16:47
And, you know, maybe now it's a person you've been talking about a lot, Lisa Monaco.
Ed MartinHOST
16:53
Yeah, I mean, I think I certainly believe that one, but that's because what I was looking at was so obvious.
Ed MartinHOST
16:59
When you were writing your book and researching the Russiagate hoax, Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, I call it, what surprised you the most about as you went down? I mean, it's real investigation.
Nate CainHOST
2:19
This was not a couple of agents freelancing.
Nate CainHOST
2:22
The paper trail says that it was signed off at the very top, March two thousand twenty-two, with the FBI Director Christopher Wray, uh, asked the Attorney, uh, General to open what they called a, quote-unquote, "sensitive investigative matter." Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco wrote, quote, "I recommend you approve," and initials it.
Nate CainHOST
2:55
Days later, Merrick Garland signs it.
Nate CainHOST

That is the open.
Sean HannityHOST

Sean HannityHOST
30:01
That means Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.
Sean HannityHOST
30:04
That means FBI Director Chris Wray.
Sean HannityHOST
30:07
According to these memos, the probe also made FBI agents at times uncomfortable.
Grant StinchfieldHOST
2:52
And again, thanks to the Government Task Force on, uh, Accountability, they discovered approvals that went to the top leadership at the DOJ.
Grant StinchfieldHOST
3:03
That's including Merrick Garland, then Attorney General Lisa Monaco approved these things.
Grant StinchfieldHOST
3:09
Um, even the FBI agents, some of them anyway, were saying, "Hey, we don't have enough evidence to go raid Mar-a-Lago." Look at this from one of the memos that the task force uncovered.
Grant StinchfieldHOST
3:21
It reads, "The White House field office does not believe, and has articulated to the DOJ, that we have established probable cause for the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago." Does not believe.
Allison GillGUEST
23:20
Uh, he opened an investigation into Trump the m- a month after he got to the DOJ.
Allison GillGUEST
23:25
It was already opened in January, uh, by folks like JP Cooney and Lisa Monaco in, in February, especially when they, like, increased the or got a new search warrant.
Allison GillGUEST
23:36
They already seized Rudy Giuliani's stuff in the, in the Ukraine investigation.
Allison GillGUEST
23:40
But they expanded it to include January 6th.
Tom LaipplyHOST
43:19
So we have no arrests, no gen- no arrests for the vaccine genocide, no re- no, no real investigations into Charlie Kirk, um, a myriad of other things, all the corruption of the Biden administration, um, w- going back, all the corruption of the DOJ in the Biden administration.
Tom LaipplyHOST
43:36
You know, Lisa Monaco, Christopher Wray, they're all criminals.
Tom LaipplyHOST
43:38
Nothing's happening.
Tom LaipplyHOST
43:40
It's all there.
Dave RubinHOST
1:40
They called the push for criminal probes ridiculous and highly political, according to emails released Monday.
Dave RubinHOST
1:48
Attorneys in Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco's office worried about federal criminal investigations launched at the request of the National School Boards Association.
Dave RubinHOST
1:59
They mocked the partisan payoff.
Dave RubinHOST
2:02
The messages were published by the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group.
John SolomonGUEST
51:04
I also want to point out, you, you said this so well in the beginning when you set this up.
John SolomonGUEST
51:07
This was signed off on, this investigation of Donald Trump, the raid, uh, the pen register was signed off at the highest levels of the government, the Biden administration's top people, Chris Wray, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, are all in on it, just like in 2016, Barack Obama, John Brennan, uh, and Chris R- uh, excuse me, um, the FBI director James Comey were all in it at that time.
Vince CoglianeseHOST
51:30
Yes.
John SolomonGUEST
51:31
In all of these circumstances, it's the top brass of government that's driving weaponization.
Alan SandersHOST
44:41
Once again, Christopher Wray, director of the FBI.
Alan SandersHOST
44:44
We now know that he sends a memo to Attorney General Merrick Garland and a Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and he wants approval to open what the bureau would call a sensitive investigative matter, which is a policy which basically surrounds the investigation of a former president or his staff or maybe a likely presidential candidate.
Alan SandersHOST
45:11
So Wray's own memo says that the scope of that policy should be read broadly, and that the bureau should err on the side of seeking approval.
Alan SandersHOST
45:24
Lisa Monaco writes on the memo, quote, "I recommend you approve," and initials it.
Alan SandersHOST
45:30
So then Garland signs off, and the case is given the name or the, the, the operation Plasmic Echo.
Alan SandersHOST
45:39
Understand, not some rogue field office.

Alan SandersHOST
62:51
Quote, "The Garland memorandum was the product of pressure by senior leadership to support the NSBA to bring federal pressure to bear on parents protesting school districts that had enacted certain policies." The 2026 report to expose the weaponization of government against parents in schools was released by Attorney General Todd Blanche Monday morning.
Alan SandersHOST
63:18
Another quote, "Officials in the Department of Justice, including both career officials and Biden administration political appointees, initially pushed back on doing so, including by questioning the constitutionality of the request," the report states.
Dave ScarletHOST
43:11
Uh, five journalists and political advisors, according to the Herridge, uh, that list even includes the First Lady and Kash Patel.
Dave ScarletHOST
43:18
The paper trail goes all the way up to the top with Wray asking Lisa Monaco to sign off on a sensitive investigation matter, and Monaco passes it along with a little note, "Merrick, I recommend you approve." Let me explain what this means.
Dave ScarletHOST
43:32
You don't watch who the defense lawyers are calling unless you already decided the verdict, and we're just building, uh, the road to it.
Dave ScarletHOST
43:40
And a former senior FBI agent calls this a classic tickle-the-wire operation.
