MARIA: WELCOME BACK, GOOD THURSDAY MORNING, EVERYBODY. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. I'M MARIA BARTIROMO AND IT IS THURSDAY JUNE 8TH, 7:00 A.M. ON THE EAST COAST. THE FBI ALLOWING ENTIRE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE TO VIEW SUBPOENA DOCUMENT THAT ALLEGEDLY TIES THEN VICE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TO A 5 MILLION-DOLLAR CRIMINAL BRIAR -- BRIBERY SCHEME. COMER SAYS IN A STATEMENT LAST NIGHT, QUOTE, ALLOWING ALL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO REVIEW THE RECORD IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD CONDUCTING OVERSIGHT OF THE FBI AND HOLDING ACCOUNTABLE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THIS AS FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR IS SAYING THAT ANY CLAIMS BY OVERSIGHT RANKING MEMBER JAMIE RASKIN THAT THE TRUMP DOJ INVESTIGATED THE DOCUMENT AND DISMISSED IT, WRONG. BARR CONFIRMING THAT IN FACT, IT WAS NOT BUT SENT TO DELAWARE. CONGRESSMAN, GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANKS VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE. DO WE KNOW WHY BARR SENT IT TO DELAWARE AND DID NOT CONTINUE THE INVESTIGATION? >> MY UNDERSTANDING HE SENT IT TO U.S. ATTORNEY IN DELAWARE FOR ADDITIONAL PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THERE WAS PREDICATE FOR FULL INVESTIGATION. I THINK IT WAS A STANDARD PRACTICE. MARIA: SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHERE THIS STANDS NOW WITH CHRISTOPHER WRAY ALLOWING OR ABOUT TO ALLOW THE I DON'T EVER SIGHT COMMITTEE TO VIEW THE DOCUMENT? >> WELL, I THINK IT'S A GOOD FIRST STEP AND A VICTORY FOR US BUT I WANT THAT DOCUMENT AND I WANT TO SEE IT BUT I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS, F23'S, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WANT TO GIVE US BUT ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATIONS, THAT WOULD THEN ALLOW OUR INVESTIGATION TO SPREAD OUT BECAUSE MY UNDERSTANDING THERE'S ADDITIONAL REFERENCES TO POTENTIAL MISCONDUCT, CRIMINAL, IT'S CRIMINAL CONDUCT. WE ARE TALKING PAY FOR PLAY AND THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE HIGHER THAN WE HAVE LED TO BELIEVED AND IT LEADS TO JOE BIDEN. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD. WHEN WE GET THE ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS, WE WILL PROBABLY GET IN A TUSSLE BECAUSE THEY WILL LEAD TO ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS AND AS WE EXPAND INVESTIGATION. MARIA: THIS IS INCREDIBLE. HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON? HOW MUCH MONEY HAS JOE BIDEN AND HIS FAMILY TAKEN FROM FOREIGN NATIONALS? >> THE OBAMA-BIDEN ADMINISTRATION. THE NUMBERS ARE IN THE MILLIONS HIGHER THAN HAVE BEEN REPORTED. AND ALSO, MARIA, THERE'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES THAT WE'VE SEEN THAT WE ARE NOT TALKING JUST UKRAINE AND CHINA AND ROMANIA ANYMORE, WE ARE TALKING ADDITIONAL COUNTRIES WITH, YOU KNOW, WITH INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE OFFICIALS TIES OR UNOFFICIAL TIES, THEY ARE SENDING MONEY TO MYRIAD OF LLC'S, WEB OF BANK ACCOUNTS AS WELL THAT SOMETIMES EVEN END UP IN THE GRANDKIDS OF JOE BIDEN'S BANKS ACCOUNTS. MR. COMER AND OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS PRODUCED MORE AND FOUND OUT MORE IN ABOUT FOUR MONTH'S TIME THAN THE FBI DID IN 6 AND A HALF, 7 YEARS. MARIA: UNBELIEVABLE. WHAT ABOUT THAT? THE FACT THAT THEY COMPLETELY IGNORED EVIDENCE? HOW MUCH MONEY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? JAMES COMER SAID HE DEFINITELY IDENTIFIED 10 MILLION-DOLLAR, IS IT 10 MILLION, 20 MILLION, IS IT A HUNDRED MILLION? >> THAT'S WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. WE KNOW IT'S IN 8 FIGURES WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S A TON OF MONEY. WHAT WAS HE GIVING IN EXCHANGE OF IT? WAS IT SOME ACCESS, PAY FOR PLAY, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE EVERYTHING FROM TONY BOBULINSKI SAYING THAT BIDEN WAS THE BIG GUY. THIS HAS GONE ON FOR YEARS. THIS DOCUMENT, JUST REMEMBER, TEN DAYS AGO THE FBI WAS SAYING THIS DOCUMENT DID NOT EXIST AND NOW THEY'VE HAD TO ADMIT THAT IT DOES EXIST. MAKES YOU WONDER DID CHRISTOPHER WRAY KNOW UP AND COVER UP AND CHRISTOPHER WRAY DID NOT KNOW AND WHEN HE STARTED PUTTING PRESSURE HE DISCOVERED AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD IT. THE BOTTOM LINE THE FBI COMES OUT LOOKING WEPONIZED, BIASED, THAT'S THE WORST CASE AND AT THE BEST CASE FOR THEM IT LOOKS LIKE THEY WERE INCOMPETENT. THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR THEM BUT IT'S A PROBLEM FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BECAUSE THE APPEARANCE IS THAT JOE BIDEN IS COMPROMISED THROUGH THAT WEB OF DECEIT BETWEEN HIS BROTHER AND FAMILY AND HIS KIDS, HUNTER BIDEN DOING THE TRANSACTIONS AND TAKING MONEY FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. MARIA: UNBELIEVABLE. WE'VE GOT MORE EMAILS FROM HUNTER BIDEN'S LAPTOP THAT HAVE COME TO LIGHT. THE PRESIDENT'S SON THANKED A TOP BARISMA EXECUTIVE FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIFTS THAT HE WAS SENT. HE DESCRIBED THEM AS FAR TOO EXTRAVAGANT WHILE HUNTER WAS SERVING ON BARISMA BOARD WEEKS BEFORE TO BE UKRAINE INVESTIGATING COMPANY AND WAS INFAMOUSLY FIRED. CONGRESSMAN, WHAT ABOUT THE EMAILS, THANK YOU FOR THE BIRTHDAY KIDS, IT WAS FAR TOO EXTRAVAGANT BUT APPRECIATED IT. WAS THAT RAW CASH OR SOMETHING ELSE? >> WE ARE NOT SURE WHAT HE GOT THERE BUT IT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. THE WHOLE SCENARIO, THE UKRAINIAN AG IS ACTUALLY INVESTIGATING BARISMA AND THEN JOE BIDEN PUTS PRESSURE ON WITH OFFICIAL U.S. DOLLARS THREATENING TO WITHHOLD THEM UNLESS THAT PROSECUTOR WAS WITHDRAWN. SO DID -- IS THIS A QUID PRO QUO? WE HAVE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS EXCHANGED THERE? IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT QUID PRO QUO, PAY FOR PLAY, ACCESS PURCHASING, YOU HAVE PROBABLY THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY, BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE A VICE PRESIDENT THAT WAS ON THE TAKE AND THAT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT IS ABSOLUTELY REPREHENSIBLE OBVIOUSLY BUT THEN THE FACT THAT THIS INFORMATION WAS WITHHELD PRIOR TO THE 2022 ELECTION SUPPRESS THAT HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP WAS SUPPRESSED AND THIS DOCUMENT THAT WE ARE GETTING TODAY HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE 2017, SO ALL OF THIS STUFF WAS SUPPRESSED AND SO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DID NOT HAVE TRUE INFORMATION AND FACTS GOING TO THE POLLING PLACE ABOUT JOE BIDEN. MARIA: WELL, IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN THAT, CONGRESSMAN, IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL OF THIS, THEY IMPEACHED DONALD TRUMP FOR A PHONE CALL THAT HE HAD WITH THE HEAD OF UKRAINE ZELENSKYY, SO THEY ARE IMPEACHING TRUMP WHILE AT THE SAME TIME KNOWING ALL THE GOODS THAT THEY HAVE ON JOE BIDEN. LOOK, IF THIS IS ALL PROVEN AND YOU ALL COME OUT AND YOU HAVE THE EVIDENCE THAT JOE BIDEN AND HIS FAMILY HAS BEEN SELLING AMERICA OUT NOW FOR A DECADE WHILE HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT, WHERE IS THIS GOING? THEY IMPEACHED TRUMP. ARE YOU GOING TO MOVE TO IMPEACH BIDEN? >> ABSOLUTELY. , ABSOLUTELY. HE WOULD NEED TO BE IMPEACHED AND THEN ONCE HE WAS IMPEACHED. HOPEFULLY DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE THAT WOULD RECOGNIZE HOW GRAVE THE SITUATION IS AND ENCOURAGE HIM TO RESIGN LIKE GOLDWATER DID TO NIXON AND WOULD HAVE TO BE INDICTED BECAUSE THIS IS GROSS MISCONDUCT AND SOME WOULD SUGGEST TREASONOUS. I'M HOLDING MY TONGUE ON THAT YET. WE HAVE TO FIND OUT HOW EXTENSIVE THAT WAS AND WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTION. ENOUGH TALK -- TALK IS TALK BUT IF WE PRODUCE THIS EVIDENCE THAT WE ARE STARTING -- THAT'S STARTING TO PILE UP, BY THE WAY, THERE'S SO MUCH EVIDENCE IT'S VOLUMINOUS THAT'S TAKING EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR STAFF TO GO THROUGH THIS BUT IF IT FILES UP IN THE DIRECTION IT SEEMS TO BE HEADED, HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND THE DEMOCRATS CANNOT DEFEND HIM WITH THE LIES THAT WE HEARD EARLIER THIS WEEK. THEY WILL HAVE TO COME TO GRIPS WITH THIS THING. MARIA: SO THEN WE GET KAMALA HARRIS, DOES THAT PLAY INTO YOUR THINKING? >> YEAH, I MEAN, KAMALA HARRIS NOT EVEN THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO BE HER TO BE PRESIDENT EVEN FOR A DAY. THE REALITY IS THIS GOVERNMENT IS KIND OF BEING RUN BY THE CABINET OFFICIALS ANYWAY. IT'S KIND OF OLIGARCHY SITUATION BUT IT CANNOT -- THAT CANNOT ENTER INTO OUR CALCULATION BECAUSE WHAT JOE BIDEN IS ALLEGED TO HAVE DONE IS TO GRAVE AND SERIOUS THAT WE HAVE TO FACE THE FACTS THAT IF YOU'RE STUCK WITH KAMALA HARRIS FOR SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR, YOU'RE STUCK WITH HER SIX MONTHS TO A YEAR. THE REALITY IS, THOUGH, THE ALLEGATIONS ARE VERY, VERY SERIOUS ON WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE DID AND THEY ARE VERY SERIOUS ON WHAT THE POLICE APPARATUS ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL DID TO COVER THIS UP AND LIKE YOU SAY FACILITATE THE ATTACK ON DONALD TRUMP, THE WEAPONIZATION ON DONALD TRUMP AND OTHER CONSERVATIVES. MARIA: OKAY, CONGRESSMAN, WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS. THE MOST SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS EVER LEVELED AT A PRESIDENT AND THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA WILL NOT REPORT IT.
