oh, no, we didn't, your honor. the defense says, well, wait a minute, that's what we all agreed to. so let me be very clear. david weiss is not to be trusted. this is a sham, from the get go. but don't take my word for it. two career irs investigators, they were so appalled at the highly unusual way that weiss conducted the entire investigation, that they sacrificed their own privacy and careers to come forward as very credible whistleblowers, and they testified before congress. take a look, let's take a look back. >> in november of 2022 the statute of limitations was set to expire for the 2014 and 2015 charges in dc, which included the 2014 felonies for the attempt to evade or defeat tax and fraud or false statement regarding burisma income earned by hunter biden in those years. the statute of limitations had
been extended through an agreement with hunter biden's defense counsel and they were willing to extend past november 2022. weiss allowed those to expire. i don't claim to be privy to united states attorney weiss or attorney general garland's communications, but united states attorney weiss told us that he was not the deciding person, that he had requested and was denied special authority after dc declined charges and that if california declines he will have to request special authorities again. i understood the gravity of those admissions. whether full responsibility lies with the united states attorney weiss or attorney general garland is for congress, the inspector generals and ultimately the public to decide. >> sean: who lied to the whistleblowers about the jurisdictional authority to charge? did weiss and garland tell the truth, or did weiss tell the truth to the irs whistleblowers? because he was telling two different stories. and why did the irs whistleblowers claim, both of them lied, according to what weiss specifically told them. and why did weiss let the
in, it's a sham. wise him several is getting a sweetheart deal because he can now drag this out let more statute runs and pretend to do an investigation but now he doesn't have to answer any questions from congress about his own obstruction and suspected lies that he was dumb enough to put in writing. so, you know, hunter biden tonight must be doing cartwheels. he not only got rich but he got away with it sean. >> sean: i agree with you it's a sham, a farce, i think it's a conflict of interest, part of the never ending biden protection program, that the media provided it for them during the 2020 presidential campaign. they let allison the whole time. if you just compare and contrast professor the treatment, the aggressiveness as it relates to all things drum, and with the sweetheart deal that wise gave, now he was the one guy called out by the irs whistleblowers.
going, congress happ to stop. it's the constitution not the statute. that gives them the right to executive the authority and they should continue, and they ought to call garland and weiss and say why did you violate this regulation? this regulation that has been printed now have of congress. why are you making this deal. i predicted this all in my book called get trump. you talked about it. each indictment, the new york indictment a sham, florida indictment strong on the facts but weak on the law. dc weak both on the law and on the facts. so i think congress has a very important role to play and that's especially the case since the -- since garland violated the regulations in appointing the special counsel. >> reporter: really appreciate both of you and thanks i know
understanding that. >> sean: yeah. i mean, so what do you think now? i mean, what do you expect here? do you believe as i suspect, that the special counsel that the doj approved is now going to say sorry, it's an ongoing investigation. pretty much any question you ask me today. and now this stone because both the overseat committee vetting and the judiciary committee investing jim jordan because i believe that's part of the strategy here. >> i think that it will. i can't imagine he's going to go to congress and give substantive answers. but, you know, this won't work with the public and it won't work with the hybrid impeachment inquiry. they have a right to pursue questions of corruption and they're going to do it. onthan thank you appreciate it. when we come back what did joe
con congress. >> exactly. >> sean: the appointment of him is a sham to me. what do you make of the appointment of him in particular, they should have picked somebody independent. >> they should have picked someone, number one, outside of the government. number two he's already indicated he's compromised. he's the one to put together a plea deal that gave hunter immunity the rest of his life but then said the vacation is listening why because the congress, the house can't investigate. he put together a plea deal a federal judge will not allow to go and they he comes back after he said he has all the power he needed to jim jordan but said in a meeting between the fbi and rbis 2022, i'm not the ones making decisions and the u.s. attorney in dc is not giving me permission to do dc. just breve in the people that were in the where he said he doesn't have the power or the ability to go forward and we
hunter biden that gave him immunity that is legal protection against any prosecution in perpetuity. so if you give someone legal immunity for the rest of their lives against any prosecution, why do now you need -- all of a sudden you need to investigate. and this guy david weiss, it's the same guy who offered a plea deal but didn't pass legal muster with the federal judge who knew this things was bond anything. >> but judge it shouldn't be rice, you're right. he went against his home osmose. he gave the sweetheart dealed. i say one thing to them and a very different thing in public. and, by the way, if the whistleblowers who took contemporaneous notes are correct, that would mean that not only did he lie before congress, i believe, but also that merrick garland lied before
calling it a theory gives it too much credit. it would give state legislatures plan orally, virtually unchecked power over federal elections. it was an idea infamously pushed by who number john eastman and his allies in con congress. it basically said state legislators are arbiters, no to what state law or state officials or crucially state courts say. >> all we are demanding of vice president pence is this afternoon at 1:00 he let the legislatures of the state look into this so we get to the bottom of it and the american people know whether we have control of the direction of our government or not. [applause] this is bigger than president trump. it's a very essence of our republican form of government. and it has to be done. anybody that is not willing to stand up to do it does not deserve to be in the office.
find votes to overturn the georgia election, will meet with prosecutors for the first time on the council's team in atlanta. more on the special counsel's investigation and rapid belmond 's coming up. but again, at the core of trump's attempted coup, elizabeth of things going on, but at its core, as articulated by john eastman, and he told rusty bowers, is this bizarre, to my mind, ludicrous fringe idea that conservatives ran with after the coup failed to return trump to the white house. calling it a theory gives it too much credit. it would give state legislatures plan orally, virtually unchecked power over federal elections. it was an idea infamously pushed by who number john eastman and his allies in con congress. it basically said state legislators are arbiters, no to what state law or state
them to make tough decisions and investigate which i believe they are holding a number of hea hearings. need to come to the conclusion and whether the secretary needs to be removed or not, it's a decision for them to make but i don't think you just stop doing that because the senate is not going to act or not going to change anything at the end of the day. you got to deal with what is in front of you and if the laws are not faithful, you execute him if he continues to live to con congress, is problematic on a variety of fronts and it needs to be dealt with. jon: former acting secretary of department of homeland security, chad wolf, thank you. >> thank you. jon: trouble ahead for congressman adam schiff of california next week, gop led house of representatives is expected to consider another resolution to punish him for insisting donald trump colluded with russia to win the 2016 election after 20 house republicans during democrats to block his center earlier this week. senior congressional correspondent chad pergram explains. >> centering and condemning adam
