    Podcast Summary

    • The deep state's influence in American politicsThe deep state, a network of bureaucrats and officials, persists despite political changes and acts against the Constitution, requiring citizens to stay informed and engaged to counteract its influence.

      The deep state, a term used to describe a network of bureaucrats and government officials who act against the Constitution and in a nonpartisan manner, is a persistent and entrenched force in American politics. According to Dan Vongino, the deep state cannot and does not act alone, and its members are embedded in various intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Despite changes in political leadership, these deep staters remain in place, influencing policy from behind the scenes. Vongino strongly believes that acknowledging the existence of the deep state is crucial, and he encourages listeners to stay informed and engaged in the political process to counteract its influence. Additionally, Vongino promoted Brickhouse Nutrition's Field of Greens, a nutritional supplement made from real fruits and vegetables, as a simple and effective way to incorporate more healthy foods into one's daily routine.

    • Biden Appoints Partisan Figure to DOJ Role Despite Previous Conspiracy TheoriesThe Biden administration appointed Susan Hennessy, a known partisan with a history of promoting debunked conspiracy theories, to a role in the DOJ's National Security Division, raising concerns about transparency and non-partisanship.

      The Biden administration has appointed Susan Hennessy, a known partisan figure who previously promoted conspiracy theories against Republicans, to a role in the Department of Justice's National Security Division. Hennessy was a fellow at the Brookings Institution, where she openly supported debunked hoaxes such as the Russian collusion narrative against Donald Trump and the peepee dossier. Her appointment raises concerns about the Biden administration's commitment to transparency and non-partisanship in government. Additionally, Hennessy's tweets defending intelligence community leaks during the Trump administration, many of which were later found to be inaccurate, have recently disappeared from her social media profile.

    • Susan Hennessey's Controversial History Defends Controversial InvestigationsSusan Hennessey, a supposedly nonpartisan voice, has a history of defending controversial investigations and attacking those who exposed scandals, now being hired by the Biden administration, raising concerns about the administration's intentions to sweep the Obama-Biden spygate scandal under the rug.

      Susan Hennessey, a supposedly nonpartisan voice in the national security division, has a history of defending controversial investigations, such as the Russia investigation into former President Trump, despite evidence of false information and misconduct. She has also attacked those who exposed the scandals, like Devin Nunes, and supported the impeachment hoax. Now, she is being hired by the Biden administration, raising concerns about the administration's intentions to sweep the Obama-Biden spygate scandal under the rug. Hennessey's defense of intelligence community leaks and her calls for alternative ways to remove a president from office further highlight her questionable stance on constitutional processes and the rule of law.

    • New Hire Susan Hennessey's Professional Relationships Raise QuestionsSusan Hennessey's professional relationships with individuals involved in controversial investigations, including Ben Whitties and former FBI Director Jim Comey, raise questions about potential biases or conflicts of interest.

      Susan Hennessey, a new hire in the executive branch, previously advocated for constraining the executive branch during the Trump administration but now works closely with individuals who have been critical figures in controversial investigations. Specifically, she has a professional relationship with Ben Whitties, who is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and has a close personal relationship with former FBI Director Jim Comey. Comey oversaw investigations related to the Trump administration, including the Russia probe. Hennessey and Whitties have co-authored a book together, and Whitties has publicly acknowledged his friendship with Comey. These relationships raise questions about potential biases or conflicts of interest.

    • Connections between Trump critics and former FBI Director ComeySusan Hennessey, a critic of Trump's handling of the FBI, works with a friend of Comey at Brookings Institution, and Igor Danchenko, involved in Russian collusion hoax, is an author there. These ties raise questions about potential biases.

      There appear to be connections between individuals who have criticized former President Donald Trump's handling of the FBI, such as Susan Hennessey, and individuals with ties to former FBI Director James Comey. Hennessey, who has spoken out against Trump's firing of Comey, works with Ben Whitties at the Brookings Institution. Whitties is also a friend of Comey. Additionally, another individual with a key role in the Russian collusion hoax, Igor Danchenko, is an author on a foreign policy paper from the Brookings Institution. These connections raise questions about potential conflicts of interest or biases in their criticisms of Trump. It's important to consider these relationships when evaluating their perspectives on political issues.

    • Brookings Institution's Role in the Steele Dossier ScandalThe Steele dossier, used to justify surveillance of Trump, links Igor Danchenko of Brookings, Susan Hennessey, and Fiona Hill. Hennessey now works for Biden's Justice Department, raising concerns about deep state involvement and conflicts of interest.

      There are significant connections between individuals involved in the creation and dissemination of the Steele dossier, which was used to justify the surveillance of Donald Trump during his presidency, and the Brookings Institution. Igor Danchenko, a primary source for the dossier, worked at Brookings, as did Susan Hennessey, who publicly supported the spying operation. Fiona Hill, another Brookings scholar who wrote papers with Danchenko, testified during Trump's impeachment proceedings. The Biden administration has brought in Hennessey to work in the National Security Division of the Justice Department. These connections raise concerns about the extent of the deep state's involvement in these events and the potential for conflicts of interest. Despite being exposed in the Spygate scandal, there seems to be no accountability or tempering of those involved, as evidenced by the Biden administration's hiring of Susan Hennessey.

    • Biden administration hires more deep state figuresThe Biden administration continues to hire individuals linked to anti-Trump conspiracies and the Spygate scandal, raising concerns about potential biases and conflicts of interest within the Justice Department, with figures like Lisa Monaco and Susan Hennessey being recent appointments.

      The Biden administration is continuing to hire individuals with connections to the anti-Trump conspiracies and the "Spygate" scandal. Lisa Monaco, a former Obama administration official and a known figure in the collusion hoax, was recently hired by the Biden administration as the Deputy Attorney General. This hire comes after Susan Hennessey, another deep state embed in the Spygate scandal, was appointed to a high-ranking position in the Justice Department. The administration's disregard for public scrutiny and transparency raises concerns about potential biases and conflicts of interest within the Justice Department. The mainstream media's lack of coverage on this issue further highlights the need for independent voices to expose these connections and hold those in power accountable.

    • Lisa Monaco's history with controversial investigationsLisa Monaco, appointed as number two at DOJ, has a history with key figures in past investigations, including the Trump-Russia probe and Enron scandal, raising questions about potential implications for future probes

      Lisa Monaco, who is being brought back into the Biden administration as the number two spot in the Department of Justice, has a significant history with key figures in recent controversial investigations. Monaco served as Chief of Staff to Robert Mueller during his investigation into the Trump-Russia collusion allegations, which originated from the Brookings Institution where individuals close to the Biden administration have worked. Additionally, Monaco was part of the Enron Task Force during the Department of Justice's investigation of the Enron accounting scandal, for which the Department of Justice faced criticism for misfeasance and malfeasance. Monaco was even awarded for her work on the Enron Task Force, despite the controversy surrounding the investigation. The connections between these individuals and their roles in past investigations raise questions about potential implications for future investigations.

    • Enron Investigators' Roles in Government SpyingLisa Monaco and Andrew Weisman, key figures in the Enron investigation, later rose to prominence in government and were involved in the investigation of the anti-Trump dossier. Their past connection to the discredited Enron Task Force raises questions about the origins of their involvement in high-profile investigations.

      During the Enron investigation, key figures such as Lisa Monaco and Andrew Weisman worked together, and Monaco later rose to become the number two in the Justice Department. Weisman, who is now a prominent figure on MSNBC, was briefed on the anti-Trump dossier in 2016. Despite the investigation's later discreditation, the left celebrates these individuals for their roles in government spying. Monaco and Weisman's connection to the discredited Enron Task Force, which also included Lee Siciliano, raises questions about the origins of their involvement in high-profile investigations. The deep state's influence and love for spying remain a contentious issue.

    • Obama administration figures have interconnected pastsObama administration officials, like Catherine Rumbler and Lisa Monaco, have worked together and have a history of involvement in scandals, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and favoritism in investigations.

      There are strong connections between key figures involved in various investigations and scandals during the Obama administration. For instance, Catherine Rumbler, who was known as the Obama fixer, worked closely with Andrew Weisman on the Enron Task Force. Weisman is now being hailed for his aggressive prosecution style by his former colleague. Lisa Monaco, who was the chief of staff to Bob Mueller during his investigation of Donald Trump, also has a history with Rumbler and Weisman. Monaco has since moved up in the Department of Justice under Joe Biden. Rumbler was involved in several scandals during the Obama administration, including the Secret Service scandal and the IRS targeting scandal. It's important to note that these connections were reported by reputable sources, such as Reuters and The Washington Post. These relationships raise questions about potential conflicts of interest and the appearance of favoritism in investigations and prosecutions.

    • Key figures in NSD held interconnected roles during Russia investigationInterconnected roles of John Carlin, Mary McCord, and Lisa Monaco in NSD during Trump-Russia investigation raise questions of potential conflicts of interest

      During the investigation into the "collusion hoax" between the Trump campaign and Russia, key figures in the National Security Division, including John Carlin and Mary McCord, held positions of power and were connected to each other and to Robert Mueller. Carlin replaced Lisa Monaco, who was later replaced by Monaco herself, and McCord took over for Carlin when he stepped down. All of these individuals were involved in the spying operation on Trump and later held positions related to the investigation. The interconnected nature of their roles raises questions about potential conflicts of interest and the appearance of impropriety.

    • Changes in National Security Division of DOJ and Controversial EventsNotable figures like Lisa Monaco, John Carlin, and Mary McCord have been involved in controversial events, including the Trump spying operation and impeachment hoax, and have connections to institutions like the Brookings Institution, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and cover-ups.

      There have been numerous changes in key positions within the National Security Division of the Department of Justice, and some of these individuals have been involved in controversial events such as the authorization of the spying operation on Donald Trump and the impeachment hoax. Notable figures include Lisa Monaco, John Carlin, and Mary McCord. These individuals have worked together and have connections to various institutions like the Brookings Institution. The deep state's involvement in these events is a recurring theme, and the connections between these individuals raise questions about potential conflicts of interest and cover-ups. Remembering the names and their roles in these events is crucial for understanding the complex web of relationships and potential biases at play.
