WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News Channel to discuss the Obama administration's weaponization of the intelligence community against President Trump, the ongoing DOJ probe into Letitia James and Adam Schiff, and recent FBI activity.
Watch the full interview here.
"Adam Schiff was leaking to the press, leaking classified information, and apparently he has mortgage fraud issues as well":
"This is accountability. Number one, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, and it’s crystal clear that Letitia James who’s been under investigation for quite some time with her mortgage fraud issue, we know Adam Schiff was leaking to the press, leaking classified information, and apparently he has mortgage fraud issues as well. And so, what you’re gonna see out of this administration is everybody’s going to be held accountable. The law will be upheld. Justice will be done. There’s not gonna be a picking and choosing the way it was done under Nancy Pelosi, under Joe Biden and the Democrat Party where they were just using the Justice Department and the intelligence community to go after their chief political rival. You couple that with the fact that this mortgage fraud case in New York which was the most silly case we’ve ever heard in our life where Letitia James is saying properties like Mar-a-Lago were worth 15 million dollars. I mean complete insanity. The right thing was done - that, that ridiculous judgment was thrown out by the appellate court in New York."
"They were knowingly lying to the FISA Court in order to get illegal wiretaps":
"Well, the statute of limitations, I’m going to leave that to Attorney General Bondi and her team because they’ll know specifically about the contours of the law when it comes to this. But you have much more than conspiracy, Maria. You have a weaponization of the FISA Court system even as far back as President Trump’s 2016 Campaign. When you had officials in the Obama Administration who were submitting false documents. They were knowingly lying to the FISA Court in order to get illegal wiretaps. In my view, that’s bigger than just conspiracy. Of course, we all now know from the information that’s been declassified out of the Durham annex that the Obama White House wanted a reassessment of Russiagate on the fly when everyone in the intelligence apparatus was very clear that there was no Russia collusion. They wanted a reassessment. And you had John Brennan and those guys of that ilk go and submit, again, faulty information which they leaked to the press to launch the massive Russiagate investigation which was a lie. And actually was slow walking the ability for Donald Trump to do his duty as President of the United States in his first term. So there needs to be accountability. This attorney general and the FBI, they’re going to get to the bottom of it."
