Tucker: Biden admin using force of law to crush political dissent

[Music] good evening and welcome to tucker carlson tonight about an hour from right now and we'll carry it live joe biden will deliver his first address to a joint session of congress he'll be making his way from the white house to the capitol shortly now the early excerpts the short ones we've seen of this speech amount in effect to a mushy casserole of cliches they're designed to calm your suspicions that anything weird or scary might be going on in the country and to reassure you that everything's going to be fine just fine in fact better than it was in that way it has the same narcotic intent of the biden campaign itself remember that don't worry we're moderates we'll make everything normal again whatever you think of joe biden that turned out to be one of the greatest lies ever told in four months this white house has changed america more quickly and more radically than any before it they have moved so fast and with such stunning aggression that even people who are paid to keep track of it like us can barely keep up every change they have forced has moved the country in the very same direction away from democracy where every voter has the same power as a voter and towards something very different toward tyranny most ominous of all and this is the hallmark of tyranny they have not hesitated to use the force of law to punish their political opponents here's the latest example and it may be the scariest at six am this morning federal agents raided the home of former new york city mayor rudy giuliani they seized his personal property including his electronic devices which include all of his digital communications and records before they did this the feds notified their allies that the democratic party's campaign operation the lincoln project the lincoln project then bragged online that they knew this raid was coming now you may have thought the lincoln project was done we told you that in fact we believed it was permanently discredited by a child molestation scandal which they admitted but it wasn't under this administration the lincoln project is stronger than ever strong enough to know about an fbi raid before it happens and of course it's stronger because the lincoln project is an ally of the white house and so by definition they can do whatever they want and they do but rudy giuliani is not a political ally of the white house in fact he was the personal attorney of the former president whose communications by the way the feds are of course reading right now tonight as we speak and in the end that was giuliani's core offense being trump's lawyer that and having the gall to try to learn more about what exactly joe biden and his son were doing in ukraine several years ago the justice department announced today that asking too many questions about the biden's dealings in ukraine is effectively a crime they called it something else but that's what giuliani did what's interesting is the one electronic device the feds didn't seize the fbi did not take in today's raid was a copy of hunter biden's hard drive from his laptop giuliani had a copy of that in his apartment at one point agents picked it up and looked at it but when giuliani told them where it came from that it came from hunter biden they put it down and they left it there it was the one thing they didn't want and that's very strange if you think about it the justice department is now telling us that giuliani was somehow involved in foreign tampering with our democracy russia by implication was involved so you'd think they'd want to examine rudy giuliani's own copy of hunter biden's laptop why because hunter biden himself just told us on television that that laptop that hard drive could be tied directly to russian intelligence you know the fake russian laptop with all the photoshopped pictures of hunter biden smoking fake russian crack with those fake russian hookers so why wouldn't the fbi want to see rudy giuliani's own copy of that well you'd think they would because as joe biden told us during the october debate on tv joe biden himself believed that rudy giuliani was a pawn of russian intelligence we are in a situation where we have foreign company countries trying to interfere in the outcome of our election his old own national security adviser told him that what is happening with his buddy well i won't i shouldn't well i will his buddy rudy giuliani he's being used as a russian pawn he's being fed information that is russian that is not true always being fed information by the russians by russian intelligence by vladimir putin so if rudy giuliani was working for the russian government as the now president of the united states claimed in public you would think biden's justice department would want all the russia related evidence it could get from rudy giuliani's apartment oh but they didn't that's not what they wanted instead they told giuliani they had a search warrant for all communications between him and among others a journalist called john solomon if the name sounds familiar john solomon often appears in sean hannity's hour right after this one so why are they interested in john solomon well we don't know but here's a guess at one point john solomon's reporting uncovered the fact that a key figure in the mueller investigation ukrainian businessman called constantin kilmannic was in fact an informant for the u.s government now that was an essential fact to know but robert mueller did not disclose it in his final report instead he portrayed the ukrainian as a russian agent now that was a lie it was a lie by omission and that lie helped prop up the whole collusion hoax john solomon exposed that lie and it looks like the biden people haven't forgotten about it now the fbi's pretext for investigating giuliani all these things have a pretext is that he violated something that no one in america even heard of a few years ago called pharah that's the foreign agents registration act it's been on an awful long time for 50 years a total of seven people face criminal charges for violating farah only one was convicted in fact the u.s attorney's manual at the department of justice said that you should warn lobbyists who don't comply with pharaoh not prosecute them warn them most violations were ignored in fact they still are ignored it's extremely common in washington and it's not russia that people are lobbying for but they're treated as civil matters that all changed when donald trump was elected fair investigations became a tool that the doj used against mouthy and inconvenient republicans there have been more fera prosecutions in the past three years than we've seen over the past half century these are process crimes and they've been weaponized against political opponents political opponents of permanent washington and particularly of the bide administration roger stone would know he's got a phd in that subject roger stone has never been elected to anything and you could argue he's never wielded profound political power but he has been a long time informal advisor of donald trump and in 2019 for that crime roger stone was arrested on the grounds that he'd lied to congress about a subject that honestly no one now can seem to remember what were the details nobody knows it was that insignificant and by the way the context is this lying to congress it happens all the time like roughly every day and sometimes it gravely hurts the country james clapper for example he was the former director of national intelligence and he lied to congress when he said that the nsa was not spying on millions of americans the nsa was in violation of our constitutional rights he committed perjury no problem brennan the former cia director lied when he said the cia wasn't spying on the u.s senate can you imagine an intel agency spying on the legislative branch that was happening he lied about it another case of perjury and yet here's the interesting thing neither clapper and brennan was ever prosecuted for perjury in fact both got better jobs you can see them on tv tonight collecting their paychecks from the networks why do they get off because they're on the right side roger stone by contrast advised donald trump and here's what happened to him exclusive footage you're looking at right now from cnn as the fbi arrives at roger stone's residence in fort lauderdale florida taking him into custody they arrived before dawn there before 6a or just after 6 a.m a dozen officers were told a cnn exclusive well cnn was tipped off to that raid before it happens imagine a country in which the department of justice men with guns who can literally shoot you and get away with it use the american news media for political purposes to hurt you before you've even been put on trial that's corrupt and what you just saw on television that clip that's one of the most grotesque displays of corrupt justice to happen in this country in our lifetime in the end roger stone got a presidential pardon in the final moments of the trump administration but the story wasn't over for him the harassment continued the biden administration has now announced that they are suing roger stone for non-payment of interest and penalties on his taxes he's paid the taxes not an easy thing when his prosecution left him unable to work when the judge in the case said he couldn't even speak in public he was completely broke stone paid everything he owed he was negotiating a settlement for the penalties and the interest he was negotiating with the government as many do and then the day after joe biden was inaugurated the feds pulled out of the negotiation and went after him publicly and sued him rogerstone is broke they've wrecked his life but guess who's doing great these days can you guess hunter biden and it turns out that hunter biden has tax problems too we know that from his laptop it indicated that he may have taken millions of dollars from communist party officials in china the question is did hunter biden pay taxes on that money the justice department at one point was wondering that too they had a criminal investigation into hunter biden's tax question but you haven't heard a lot about that investigation lately have you that's weird or maybe it's not so weird because on inauguration day joe biden named a new head of the criminal division of the department of justice that man is called nicholas mcquaid and it just so happens he was a law partner of hunter biden's defense attorney for years funny how that works under mcquaid's leadership the feds have become more aggressive than ever in using the force of law to crush political dissent in the leaks to the media for example the feds announced they were investigating congressman mack gates of florida for the crime of sex trafficking you could read it about in the new york times they told the new york times which dutifully wrote an entire piece about it that piece essentially destroyed matt gates it took him completely off the map as a rhetorical force whatever his flaws may be matt gates is smart he's articulate and he's brave matt gates was one of the very few members in the entire congress who bothered to stand up against permanent washington on behalf of his constituents but you're not hearing much of him now because matt gates is a sex trafficker so the question is who exactly did matt's gates sex traffic well we can't answer that question because no charges have been filed so all that remains is the stigma the remarkable thing is and we're almost getting tired of these contrasts but here's the most vivid there is apparently material on hunter biden's laptop that suggests hunter biden was involved in the sexual abuse of minors now if that's so the fbi would know it of course because they have a copy of the laptop and yet here's the funny thing no one has leaked anything about this to the new york times or politico or nbc news hunter biden has not been charged with this not with sex abuse he hasn't been charged with the federal firearms felony that he committed we can say that conclusively he lied on a background check he committed a felony a federal firearms felony so is he going to jail oh no he's thriving hunter biden got a million dollar book contract multi-millions we have read from simon schuster and then he got a gig teaching at tulane so it's good to be the president's son you know it's not good to be it's not good to be a trump voter that's very clear now watch this partisan federal prosecutor man who's completely out of control explain on television that republicans are so much as trespassed at the capitol on january 6th will be traded like al qaeda after the six we had an inauguration on the 20th so i wanted to ensure and our office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe that we could charge as many people as possible before the 20th and it worked because we saw through media posts that people were afraid to come back to dc because they're like if we go there we're going to get charged we wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the the public for what they did okay that guy's a lunatic he should not have power but more to the point what he just said is the opposite of justice in a just system you punish people for the crimes they committed equally with everyone else who has committed those crimes you don't punish some people extra to send a political point or to deter future behavior that might inconvenience a political party or to stop a dissent and that's exactly what he did that's not legal by the way a district court judge christopher cooper just released one man who has been in detention for four months now that man a 60 year old named richard barnett had made the mistake of entering nancy pelosi's office without permission he didn't burn it down he didn't hurt anybody but for that crime for trespassing in nancy pelosi's office he was locked away in solitary confinement there he was allegedly beaten by prison guards including a guard who told him that he hated all white people now judge cooper who we should tell you is an obama appointee had to inform the department of justice this week that richard barnett though you may not like who he voted for still has rights in a constitutional democracy and so barnett was finally released from jail thanks to the judge but that case was not unusual barnett was one of more than 36 protesters from january 6 who have been held in solitary confinement at a dc jail for months now this is so disproportionate especially considering the people who torch buildings including federal buildings and rape others and commit gun crimes and rape are getting out of prison in a day this is such egregious treatment that democrats in the senate were including real lefties like dick durbin and elizabeth warren actually said something about it quote solitary confinement is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging elizabeth warren said elizabeth warren and we're talking about people who haven't been convicted of anything yet well thank you elizabeth warren you may be wrong on everything but you're right on that and bless you for saying so in a functioning democracy every member of the democratic party would be saying exactly the same thing republicans would be saying it too where are the republicans by the way what does mitch mcconnell do for a living hasn't said much about this they've been silent about this egregious abuse of human rights in a functioning democracy that cared about justice there would be demands for the immediate release of every non-violent protester who went to the capitol on january 6th but there aren't so the white house will likely lock up more people it disagrees with just today we should tell you victoria tensing has been a guest on this show many times former federal prosecutor a serious person an attorney of 50 years in the district of columbia had her home raided by federal agents and her electronic devices seized why we'll tell you when we know
