Garage gate. Some of that sensitive material was stored in the same space bidens beloved corvette is stored. Attorney general Merrick Garland under a lot of pressure to appoint a Special Counsel. Yesterday he tapped robert hur for the role. This means the current president and his predecessor are now both facing Special Counsel investigations. President biden meanwhile was openly critical if you remember of former President Trumps handling of classified documents. Now he is getting the same. These facts and circumstances are outrageous. Completely miss handling. Did he get them when he was Vice President and take them with him when he left . He clearly mishandled them. Putting it in a garage next to a leaf blower is not secure. Julie bidens Corvette Excuse wont cut it. Adding the newly appointed Special Counsel has a lot to do. Matt whitaker weighs in and first we go to peter doocy at the White House Joining us live. Good morning. Good morning. Somebody on the biden team knew that there was more than one batch of classified material that had been located when they sent the president out and talked about just one batch of classified material in one box here in washington, d. C. Still officials claim they are doing everything by the book. What i can say to you is that the president has been kept has been kept informed by his counsel. I disagree there has been a limit of transparency. That i will disagree with you on that. Another one on garage gate. What is the white house trying to hide . Nothing. This is just the beginning of a much bigger federal investigation. Republicans on the hill believe the Special Counsel will find much more. This is reckless, it is dangerous, it is to quote biden himself irresponsible. The reassurance the president gave that his corvette was locked in the garage merely reveals how little he knows about classified document handling. They tell us the search is complete. What they mean by that is bidens personal attorneys have completed their search of his properties. The places that he has access to. We dont know if the Special Counsel will be satisfied just hearing bidens personal attorneys say we found everything, or if they are going to want to go and search themselves. Julie. Julie i would basically err on the side of no they wont by bidens attorneys. Well have to wait and find out more. Great reporting. Thank you. Critics not buying white houses excuses on how and why those classified documents were in bidens possession. The white house itself seems to have latched onto a defense that this was an inadvertent misplacing of classified documents. Thats rather hard to square with the facts that we now have. The documents that were removed when he left office were divided and distributed. If it wasnt inadvertent misplacement they didnt just do it inadvertently they did it repeatedly. Julie Matt Whitaker joins me now. Dividing documents means they were likely put on moving trucks by other people. I doubt the president moved them himself. These people had to touch these documents and possibly see the documents which is a nightmare nor the f. B. I. , is it not . It is. There is a major chain of custody issue. We dont know whether these three sets of documents were all together at one point in time or whether they were each distributed at different times to different places. This is remember an administration that promised to be the most transparent and honest of any administration. You can see from the press Secr Secretary Podium is open. Julie the fact the classified documents were not only misplaced but divided and taken to various locations. One of the documents, one page was found in a room adjacent to the garage where the corvette was kept that somehow is now supposed to equate to a safe. It is ridiculous. This represents a serious threat to his defense that he didnt know about them. How do you not know about them when they are in separate locations . Thats a good point. Remember, the Legal Standard is not a knowing, it is a negligent, gross negligence, reckless standard. We heard all about it with jim comey talked about Hillary Clintons mishandling of Classified Information. In this case, remember the distinction i think thats most important between the trump maralago case and the biden case in Storing Documents by his corvette is the president of the united states, donald trump could have declassified documents. That Special Counsel jack smith will have to consider whether or not the president declassified. In this case Vice President biden had no authority to declassify the documents. They were classified at all times. Julie what do you think triggered the search . Were told the movement of President Bidens office from the Penn Biden Center to, i guess, his home office was why his lawyers were there in the first place cleaning out this closet where they found the first batch in a manila envelope marked personal. Julie personal is not classified. Big difference. Right. Huge difference. I know. I handled Classified Information what the cover pages looked like. I didnt want to have it on my decks let alone have it at my office or home or in a library. This is irresponsible to quote joe biden. Julie but deliberate, yes or no . Thats what we need to find out. Possibly illegal. Julie very possibly. Federal investigators have interviewed several aides to the president. The white house is shutting down questions on that scenario. Is the president willing to be [inaudible]. Let me say i wont get into hypotheticals. This is something for the is the investigation ongoing. Its ongoing review. You ask me about something in the future and im telling you i wont get ahead of what the Department Of Justice is going to decide. Julie what would it take to criminally charge aides, number one or even the president when he leaves office . Well, we need to know the facts and who actually mishandled these documents. Whats the chain of custody . How did they make their way out of the white house and Vice President s office in 2016 or earlier . These are preliminary questions we have no idea what the answers are. It will provide the roadmap for mr. Hur as he investigates this serious breach of classified document handling. Julie thank you very much. Appreciate you coming on to talk to us. This is only going to get more interesting by the minute. The white house is trying to make that controversial Gas Stove Ban Proposal go away. But some liberals are keeping the fire burning. Literally. New information shows just how far Top Democrats went to push their russian collusion narrative next. They will use any means necessary and any method or platform to achieve their goals.

He lays out how Top Democrats pushed false information to discredit devin nunes famous 2018 memo calling out the flaws in the trump russia investigation. Twitter sounded off that the company was feeding democrat congressional trolls claiming that was not significant Activity Connection to russia and that democrats were putting the cart in front of the horse. The media laughed off the memo with many outlets calling it a joke. Nunes sounding off now on the revelations. Obama specifically went to zuckerberg and twitter. Part of an ongoing process through 17 and 18. They knew the russia hoax was a hoax and their goal was not to just control the fake news, bust to control the delivery of the fake news which poisoned the American People. Julie rich edson is live with more. Good morning, rich. Twitter says it warned staff of senior democrats no real evidence of a Russian Influence Campaign here. They moved ahead anyway publicly warning russia agents were manipulating americans on this issue. This began in early 2018 when then congressman devin nunes submitted a classified memo. It accused the government using abuses to sur veil those connected to donald trump. An effort to declassify this information release the memo hashtag began trending on twitter. Dianne feinstein, Richard Blumenthal and adam schiff released open letters demanding social Media Companies investigate the alleged russia campaign. Twitter already had and informed the lawmakers salve no significant with russia. A few of them look spamy, none of them so any signs of being tied to russia. Nunes told us he requested twitter correct the record and the company refused. Hamilton 68 for the alleged russia campaign. Kremlinoriented accounts were heavely engaged but represented a small percentage of the overall activity. Twitter under musk released this information. Senators feinstein and blumenthal and Congressman Schiff did not respond to requests for comment. Julie media and politics columnist for the hill joe concha. Remember when Democrats Water Cooler Topic was President Trump got elected because of russia . We call it after the fact if it was a movie. The central character in all this has been russia since 2016 in that election. Oh, russian collusion between trump allies and the kremlin. No, it never happened. Russian bounties on u. S. Troops and trump ignored it. No, that never happened. And now oh, russian bots, the russians in general threw twitter and facebook impacted the 2016 election to the point it got donald trump over the finish line and there is no evidence around that we now know. All this reporting had a tremendous impact in terms of the minds of democratic voters. There was a poll after the 2016 election and found that nearly seven in ten democratic voters believe russia did get donald trump elected. Talk about election denial. It was the original process. Given all the reporting going on hard to blame some voters for coming to that conclusion. Julie the Mainstream Media pushed that narrative every single day. If you didnt know your stuff you would believe it to be true. The new study that you are referring to suggests the effect of russian disinformation in the 2016 election was overhyped. Democrats claimed it helped propel trump to victory. Highly partisan republicans were exposed nine times more frequently than nonrepublicans. Last but note least the study found disinformation had no information on Voter Attitudes or behavior. Why do you think that is . Well, its pretty logical. Lets think about this for a second. You are going to vote in 2016 and your choices are donald trump and hillary clinton. You want to talk about a contrast in policy, in style, in swamp versus nonswamp. You want to talk about all the differences between these people and you think a couple ads on facebook will make people change their minds . There is no logic. There never has been any logic. The reporting went forward because it generated clicks and ratings and now we wont see any apologies from the Washington Post or New York Times editorial boards or the people like Rachel Maddow or merck snbc. Were passed and it lets move on. Julie democrats blame russia for trump winning the election, now the president blames russia for gas prices and all the other economic woes in the country. I guess we should talk to putin and ask him what to do with the documents that they just found in delaware. Maybe he planted them. Perhaps, right . The thing is russia has an economy the size of new york state. We see their military is like the Vermont National guard when it comes to them going into ukraine. Russia, who was portrayed as being this most powerful enemy, number one country we should keep an eye on mitt romney was right, its not russia as our number one enemy. It clearly is china. Guess who may or may not be compromised in that country because of his son . Its biden. Julie the Gas Stove Ban in the news this week. Days of backlash and brutal ridicule after the Consumer Product safety committed floated the ban due to health and environmental concerns. The white house really wants to go away get as far away from this issue as possible. Watch. Asked about this gas stove thing that bubbled up yesterday. Does the white house think gas stoves are safe . Im not looking to ban gas stoves and the cpsc has no proceedings to do so. Julie they did support it but now they are Back Pedaling of course, even if the white house doesnt support the ban liberal celebs seem to. Some say we love our induction cook top in addition to not burning gas in the house. Alexandria ocasiocortez mocking conservative criticism. Its funny the republican meltdown. You can take my gas stove over my cold dead hand. How dare you talk about gas stoves. You have a gas stove. First of all, first of all, i rent, period. Second of all it doesnt matter because by that logic, these are the same people who would have said we should never have gotten rid of leaded gasoline. Banning gas stoves and going electric is only part of the lefts agenda. I do believe that those stoves that they are trying to advocate for, joe, are really expensive and i believe that electric cars are really expensive. This seems to be the way of the democrat and liberal elite. They dont want to spend money. They want no taxes on the middle class but yet they do want you to spend more money to save the environment, which is it . A lot of conflicting message comes from the left. This is the logical segment. Were common sense people. Look at what california wants to do. 2035 they will not sell anything but electric cars in that state. You think about okay, lets say im single Joe For A Moment and live in an Apartment Complex in los angeles. How am i charging my car . By the way, last check there is a lot of traffic on ifive and other highways around los angeles and San Francisco and san diego. My charge runs out. What do we do then . Its all these aspirational dreams of lets go green but no logic how you get from point a to point b. Energy prices are still far higher than they were two years ago. The time to do the transition certainly is not warranted. Again, how do you do it . You can talk about why its so great. Until you answer the how, dont even bring it up at this point and aoc, can anybody sound more like a sophomore on instagram than she does. Pass legislation which you have never done in your career. What are these people
