CLAY: I know this is not going to surprise a lot of you, but it still is staggering to me that all of this is not being covered by the New York Times and the Washington Post. They have not actually taken the time to even cover it — and, remember, this is not some allegation that’s just kind of floating around out there. This is a government independent counsel investigation which goes to the very essence…
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call this, the allegations — ’cause it hasn’t been proven in a court of law yet, but it the allegations are — as significant as any that have been made since Watergate. Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe is saying this filing by John Durham shows there was a conspiracy, and he’s expecting many more indictments. Let’s listen to this.
RATCLIFFE: This pleading alleges or alludes to a conspiracy, meaning two or more people in furtherance of a crime. Any anyone that was aware that this campaign plan was going to be falsely pitched to the FBI or the CIA or law enforcement or intelligence authorities would be subject to criminal prosecution. I would expect there to be, frankly, quite a few more indictments. I think this conspiracy — and I do think there was a criminal conspiracy — is broad and deep.
BUCK: We know that it was a lie. We know that it was a fabrication, the whole Russia-Trump collusion thing, Clay, right? That’s been established for a very long time. What we haven’t seen yet is the full extent of the plot. When they’re talking about here… This is from the Daily Mail today: “Clinton paid people to hack servers at Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign and White House servers following the election.”
That is a quote. Okay, that is what is being reported right now. That is Third World dictator stuff. We’re in a whole different universe kind of stuff. When you’re talking about spying, active spying on a campaign and then on a president using the security apparatus? If I were back in the CIA, we’re analyzing this in a foreign country, we’d say, “They got big problems. I mean, they can’t even really think that they have rule of law and legitimate elections going on if that’s what’s really happening.” So we need to get these answers. I know it’s been a long time. I know people feel like we’ve talked about it a lot. We still need to find out what really happened here and what did Hillary know?
