3:05 am
>> steve: i think we have covered everything else. >> ainsley: now you know what our personal lives are like and that brian's nephew is at new school. >> steve: god bless him. >> ainsley: top agenting accusations of political bias. he is now out of the fbi. >> steve: tim tebow bo. >> steve: also known as timothy thibault. >> ainsley: the agent not the football player. >> steve: he tried to interfere with the hunter biden laptop investigation during the trump administration. >> brian: kevin corke joins us to awful the story and then we will expand on it kevin? >> >> thibault's exit comes as lawmakers facebook hand over the company communications on hunter biden. those have got an awful lot of attention since mark zuckerberg said this about his company's contact with the feds just before the 2020 election. listen. >> the fbi, i think, basically came to us, some folks on our
3:06 am
team and was like hey, just so you know, like you should be on high alert, we thought there was a lot of russian propaganda in the 2016 election. we have on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump of -- that is similar to that so just be vigilant. >> be vigilant meantime in their letter to the social media giant senators wrote in part the american people deserve to know whether the fbi used facebook or other social media companies as part of their alleged plan to discredit information about hunter. now, you will recall, that the biden story wasn't so much about hunter's lifestyle as it was about possible influence peddling and pay for play allegations involving then candidate joe biden on the eve of a presidential election. now, all this is happening as jeremy bash, an exintel official
3:07 am
and tv pundit who falsely claimed that the hunter biden laptop story could be russian disinformation. he has always been appointed to a white house board that offers the president national intelligence advice which is getting plenty of eye rolls here in the nation's capital because bash, you see, gets this role despite being one of the 50 plus intel officials how will remember just before the 2020 election wrote a letter casting doubt on the authenticity of the laptop it claiming it all all the earmarks of a russian disinformation campaign but he still gets the position anyway. >> steve: he sounds perfect. if you are joe biden, don't you want that guy on the board? >> that's the guy. >> steve: and he got the job. >> brian: kevin, so important that you pointed out has nothing to do with his hookers and his crack addiction. has everything to do with his international business dealings that could involve the big guy. >> that's right. >> brian: his dad. people are getting into that and trying to get you off course and
3:08 am
you didn't. thanks so much. >> ainsley: kevin is, it hard to follow the money because it's international? >> that's part of it. i think the other thing that happens a lot when you hear stories like this is people to end glaze over. you hear financial details and you if you are not familiar with it it's complicated. tough to follow. >> steve: thank you for making it very easy. >> you are welcome. >> steve: you bet. so let's get back to not the tim bow we know but the timothy thibault. it all started with chuck grassley's letter to the fbi, christopher wray. when wray was on capitol hill he said the allegations of political bias at the hands of fbi agents is deeply troubling. so this guy has been on leave for a month. and apparently what is suggested by the grassley letter is that he and an fbi is supervisor intelligence analyst by the name of brian oughtn't were allegedly involved in the scheme to
3:09 am
undermine information that the fbi might have about the laptop. this will thibault ordered the matter closed without providing a reason. and this is the key. he closed the deal, without a reason which flies in the fails of fbi guidelines and subsequently tried to mark of the matter in the fbi system so that it could not be open in the future. and that's what got him in trouble. >> ainsley: yes. it seems very complicated or confusing at first. we saw chuck grassley in that senate committee meeting mentioning these two guys because the whistleblowers had told him these two guys are trying to -- they are biased against donald trump. they don't want this hunter biden story to come out. they are saying it's disinformation. that's according to grassley. he said the whistleblowerring told that the has to follow strict guidelines involved in investigations. he said that thibault did not follow those guidelines like you said he wanted this investigation close sod that no one else could see or reopen it.
3:10 am
>> brian: ainsley, how the hell does this guy get to retire you? this guy in 25 years just for one year defies logic to think for one year he is off the reservation deciding to have his political views go be altered by his investigation. this guy goes in and suppresses a major story involving the future president of the united states. that is a big deal. he also tweeted out some horrible things about kentucky give kentucky to the russian federation, again, he also tweeted some respect for the lincoln project. they are corrupt, horrible people who have already been exposed as. >> ainsley: is he an fbi agent. he retweeted that lincoln project. >> brian: yeah. unbelievable. >> ainsley: interrupt you really quickly i will tell you what that said that he retweeted. psychologically bitter deeply unhappy man talking about donald trump. >> brian: this the is guy who is suppressing the hunter biden story that has direct financial links to the president, the
3:11 am
future president of the united states where one in six people said if they knew about this hunter biden laptop and the contents of it not the drug addiction and not the hookers but how his dad was linked to it, they would have changed their vote and they need to know who is the one who briefed mark zuckerberg's executive mark zuckerberg himself maybe twitter and maybe all social media about the hunter biden laptop. they want to know all these details. how this guy is able to retire even though he was walked out in shame is unbelievable. just file him with peter strzok. follow him with clinesmith. follow whim jim baker. put him with lisa paige and all those others that if you are president trump, how can you back the fbi? how can you not question the sanctity of the raid? that's why you don't blindly black the blue.
3:12 am
that why is law enforcement right or wrong. credibility if everything you think they do is correct. when you praise them, it means nothing. and which is 99% of the time. but you are going to tell me that this guy had just one bad year and one candidate just drove him over the top, donald trump? i'm sure that his record is checkered with a lot of dicey stuff. >> ainsley: that's what scares everyone can we not trust everyone at the fbi. >> brian: are we next? >> ainsley: look at peter strzok someone who gets fired and on a job all these different networks and lucrative book deal. >> brian: peter strzok you should be ashamed at cnn for hiring this guy. did you check his texts? he was biased working against a presidential candidate. reward he gets his pension and gets a network contract and yet you go to him every hour to find out the latest on donald trump when you know he hates donald trump and was maneuvering for him to leave and how to had a plan to place to do it. this is beyond big news. >> steve: these are the
3:13 am
allegations made against this fbi agent who has been apparently sidelined for over a month. miranda devine who wrote the book on the laptop from hell talked a little about him last night with lara. >> he is just one of a kabul of fbi offices. many of them centered at the washington field office who have been playing these games since the very beginning of donald trump's entry into politics. you know, the crossfire hurricane, russia collusion hoax, that was the fbi. there just seemed to be unlimited number of agents and analysts there to do their dirty work. >> brian: what is the christopher wray you are the investigator fbi. under your watch the fbi is not being investigated. no one is looking over the shoulder of your agents to make sure they are doing a good job. is there an inspector general there? you need senator grassley at 89
3:14 am
years old to go find out what's wrong? >> ainsley: christopher wray did say it was deeply troubling when he talked in front of this committee. >> brian: because it was brought up to him. he didn't say i have a problem with tim thibault it was brought up to him i heard about that that's troubling. >> ainsley: christopher wray head of fbi and merrick garland. have we heard from garland? has he commented on this. >> brian: please. >> steve: the doj and fbi operate, a lot of the stuff they do we never find out about. however, chuck grassley is the one who had had this whistleblower or whistleblowers. >> brian: ron johnson, too. >> ainsley: thank goodness for these whistleblowers because they are probably worried about the reputation. >> brian: they do a great job. >> steve: and that's the whole provision of how oversight works. you know, congress has oversight over the fbi and other things. and so it's good that they are keeping an eye and it sounds like one agent is at home early on this tuesday morning.
3:15 am
>> ainsley: things happening whistleblowers helped get the bad guys out hopefully to clean up the system. >> brian: and then you just factor into the other story we have been covering is why would the fbi raid the mar-a-lago compound over records negotiating to get out. and if you are president trump and you know what's going on with six agents who should have been fired, resigned and living in disgrace, and now you find out this happens, and then you find out additional information leading up to the 2020 election, and you say to yourself, how can you trust anything? you do not blame him for wondering what is going on with the investigations and the scrutiny on him. how paul manafort ends up in solitary confinement. how michael foyt is ruined by fbi agents who happened to show up and roger stone on down. life ruins, life ruined, life ruined and focusing now on what they consider their big guy and that's president trump. that's why this exposure is so important. that's why the georgia election means so everywhere.
3:16 am
this investigation would have continued had they held the senate. but to president trump's fault, he never went to bat for those senate candidates and therefore there were two upsets last november. >> ainsley: coming up a florida g.o.p. group's building is vandalized with a fascist message and doors glued shut. the shocking details coming up next. >> brian: serena williams set to play another round at the u.s. open. first round victory. what is likely her last tournament ever ♪ blow wind through my hair ♪ is the tide going to reach my chair ♪ sunrise there is a fire in the sky ♪ never been so happy ♪ never felt so high ♪ and i think i might have found me my own kind of paradise.

3:24 am
daughter. >> brian: talk about politics different game 23 minutes after the hour. the president of in the united states fundraiser came out and has this new phrase maga republicans. you are a maga republican. i like conservatives i don't like maga republicans going to change the country and they're semi-fascist. really? they're semi fascist? no one backed off the statement or walked it back over the weekend. calls to the white house he said what he said and i understand it that's the way republicans are. well, as usual, a responsible words so often pointed to what president trump and people go to town on it suddenly it makes president biden look like a tough guy. is he finally fighting saying things in my view totally irresponsible and we already seen the residue of it. >> steve: in fact, over the last 48 hours or so, somebody took a can of spray paint to the offices of the seminole county republican party and what they did was they spray painted eat
3:25 am
and blur out the word fascist. and then there was an an arc -- see that a with the circle around it an anarchy symbol at the bottom. the door was super glued shut. >> brian: antifa says that all the time. >> >> steve: anyway, that's what is going on down in florida. the g.o.p. went to facebook to address this and said our office was vandalized over of the weekend. sunday into monday. our answer to hate clean up and move on. but then the instagram from the republican party was different. >> ainsley: yeah, the one down in florida the republican party wrote in one on instagram. number one chris says desantis supporters have hate in their heart. number two biden calls republicans semi-fascist the results dangerous democrat rhetoric polarizing our country and inciting criminal behavior. stephen miller the former senior adviser to donald trump. >> don't forget this is the party that locked people in their homes in blue states and
3:26 am
blue cities. muriel bowser is depriving black students the right to attend school because they have not received a vaccination. this is an administration that has launched a political raid of its chief political opponents' home to seize and steal his property and his documents. so, what you are seeing is a classic technique of tyrants and authoritarians. where they use the methods of dictatorship while accusing their opponents of being fascists? this administration is violating our laws, including violating our immigration laws with impunity and helping murderous criminal cartels violate our sovereignty every single day. >> brian: ironically -- go ahead. >> ainsley: we heard the president speak in maryland to the dnc and that's when he said these fascist comments. semi-fascist comments. is he also going to be speaking in first of all on thursday during "primetime" he is going to have an address there is he

make our state less affordable. oregonians are looking for change. >> brian: and, really we drill down on the cities and the embarrassment of what is happening in portland and seattle. >> yeah. in portland, in particular, it is a gorgeous place. it has been a gorgeous place until now. and now they are just struggling in its leadership. leadership matters and people know that they recognize that here. and they are asking for their leaders to step up, stand up, and help people be more safe and, frankly, be more compassionate to the people that are living on our streets. allowing them to live show any compassion for them either. >> brian: the big issue a lot of people are talking about the red wave, is it halted? is it slowed down because of the dobbs decision that put the question back to the states when it comes to abortion. where do you stand as a republican? >> i'm a pro-life woman and i have never shied away from my pro-life values. but here in oregon, we are facing significant challenges
3:44 am
that we can work together on. abortion is, in fact, the only thing that democrats ever want to talk about because they are ashamed of their failed record in my state. and so they want to pivot to questions around abortion and choice. buff the truth is the reality is here in oregon, that there are significant issues that we need to work on together. and talking to oregon voters exclusively about abortion and choice is not the issue that oregonians are asking for leadership on right now. they are asking for leadership on our schools, affordability, criminal justice, community safety, and, frankly, we just need our beautiful state to function again. and that's what's been policing for far too long in oregon. >> definitely going to have to have cooperation if you are able to win. rose to the house relationship in 201. mom of three. going to be doing your job 100 hours a week while still doing that. i'm sure your family is on board. if you want to be tough on crime. if you want to lower taxes, it's

3:54 am
maybe somebody that got too ambitious the last few months and didn't have the market and had a real estate agent that didn't lead them now or maybe they have hit the panic button and sell their house to do something else. the next month and a half historically is a slower time of year in real estate no matter the conditions. people need to take wind of the fact that we really have intentional seasons in residential r real estate normay august and september slow down take advantage of that. >> steve: touched on second tip which is it is stale seller's market. third tip don't think about this as a forever home. live in the house three to five years don't worry about 30 to 50. >> statistically people millennials maybe my age maybe again x you are not going to live in this house forever. normal statistics and the way it works out. you live there, get married have your first kid. by the time your second kid comes you probably outgrow the house that's why people like me have jobs there is never going to be a slow down of that think

3:56 am
home buyers across the country are millennials, that's only going to be bigger and bigger as time progresses. i think we are in a good place. >> steve: the only really bad thing is if you need financing, you know, as interest rates go up, that's going to squeeze a lot of people out of the market. >> yeah. but just shift your priorities. and if you think about little things that you can change and look at a dollar as really $100 and every dollar you save is more money as a down payment and gives you more security. it gives people a different sense of responsibility which i think is kind of good for us. >> >> steve: absolutely. thanks for getting up early in dallas and talking about the real estate market. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> steve: coming up, could chris rock make his return to the oscars stage. what they said about him host the show. it works in minutes. nexium 24 hour and prilosec otc

4:04 am
>> brian: that's all we need. >> steve: top fbi agent facing acquisitionizations of political bias now no longer working at the fbi apparently. >> brian: unbelievable. timothy thibault resigning as republican lawmakers zeroing in on allegations he tried interfere with the hunter biden laptop investigation successfully we could add. >> ainsley: kevin corke joins us live to tell us the latest. good morning, kevin. >> good morning, ainsley, steve and brian. now, former fbi special agent timothy thibault actually resigned from his post last week after facing intense scrutiny over allegations that he helped to shield hunter biden and, i guess by proxy, joe biden from criminal investigations into hunter's laptop and business dealings. the 25 year bureau veteran leaving the field office last friday, having already been on leave for a month after whistleblower claims that the fbi had obstructed its own investigation into the laptop. thibault's exit comes as g.o.p. lawmakers are demanding that
4:05 am
facebook hand over the company's communications on hunter biden which have gotten a lot of attention since mark zuckerberg said this about his company's contact with the feds just before the 2020 election. >> the fbi i think basically came to us, some folks on our team and was like, hey, just so you know you should be on high alert. we thought there was a lot of russian propaganda in the 2016 election. we have on notice that basically there's about to be some kind of dump ever -- that is similar to that. so just be vigilant. >> so, be vigilant says mark zuckerberg. but, in their letter to the social media giant, g.o.p. senators wrote in part, quote: the american people deserve to know whether the fbi used facebook or other social media companies as part of their alleged plan to discredit information about hunter. now, you will recall, the hunter biden laptop story really wasn't so much about hunter's lifestyle
4:06 am
as it was about possible influence peddling and pay for play allegations. involving then 2020 presidential candidate joe biden. now, this is all happening as jeremy bash an exintel official and tv pundit who falsely claimed that the laptop could be russian disinformation has been appointed to a white house board that offers intel advice. you probably know this too. bash signed on to that infamous re-election letter along with 50 other intel officials casting doubt on the thawnt of the laptop, guys? >> steve: thank you very much. he was talking a little bit about mark zuckerberg. zuckerberg had told joe rogan last week on his podcast that apparently the fbi had had a vague warning to him and facebook about russian disinformation. so they are trying to figure out who exactly that came from and
4:07 am
how vague was it because there was a lot of that talk. >> brian: right. going to be an investigation, get some answers. who exactly gave you the briefing? by the way no one is buying zuckerberg's explanation to joe rogan almost as if he sensed someone come out or someone tipped him off. miranda devine came by don't buy facebook's innocence saying we didn't do what twitter did, we didn't ban it, we just suppressed it they were the first and led the way and made it almost impossible to get that out. they didn't totally kill it remember, kayleigh mcenany, the press secretary, remember, she forwarded, she retweeted the "new york post" story. even though she had covid at the time. and they suspended her account. this is how pervasive it was. >> ainsley: mark zuckerberg said it told his crew the employees at facebook quote, you should be on high alert. you don't believe that? >> brian: i believe they were briefed but he says the order in which he was for one thing as np
4:08 am
emerges or did you know the spey about the laptop and were the whole story in front of congress and repeatings it again in much more detail to joe rogan. and i think all of this is important in light of this guy tim thibault when it comes out he suppressed that story on hunter biden and links to the future president of the united states up until a month before and then there is massive moves on social media to make sure no one wrote about it or retweeted it or shared it on social media. you have to wonder, is this a rogue fib agent or somebody at the tip of the that
4:09 am
we to chuck grassley and i think it's jim jordan too they are talking to. >> brian: why does he get to retire? he affected an election the way he wanted it. >> ainsley: we just learned this information yesterday. sources are saying that he was escorted out of the building but he was retiring. that he had been on leave for about a month. and he was escorted out on friday. but this is what sources are saying. steve: escort is normal. apparently we are being told. so the big question is, to reti. like this. so much we don't know right now. we know literally the tip of the iceberg of this whole case. but what will happen is he has
4:10 am
resigned. now they will have an investigation. they will decide whether or not he should be terminated and that could end his pension. so, stay tuned. when we get more, we will let you know. >> ainsley: what about the other guy. his name was fbi intel analyst accusing him of, quote: scheming to undermine the derogatory information about hunter biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation. >> brian: do you know what i think that a lot of democrats feel the same way we do about the outrage somebody being corrupt to effect an election either way? when bill maher said when he said on friday, is donald trump that bad where we are just going to accept the fact that you suppressed a legitimate story like the "new york post" story and this laptop story and you saw rob reiner sit there befuddled we don't know it's true. of course it's true.
4:11 am
if you have been following unbiased media, which is tough to do you have to seek it out you know all this stuff is true. it's astounding and by the way klobuchar said the same thing. we don't know if it's true. "the washington post" and the "new york times" made a huge mistake not verifying that story. >> steve: sure, the laptop stuff is true. the disinformation, the big campaign as we have been talking for the last 18 months was launched by big tech and that's why there is an investigation into that and that's why it was so amazing what mark zuckerberg said the other day. meanwhile, we have talked on this program a number of times about how the mayor of new york city is complaining about the great governor of the great state of texas shipping all these migrants from texas into new york city. as it turns out, we are now learning according to a local media down in el paso, that the city of el paso is using joe biden administration money to send migrants from texas to new
4:12 am
york city. so, in other words, while the mayor is really should be complaining about joe biden administration, which is using federal money to send migrants here. >> ainsley: yeah, the deputy city manager his name is mario castino he told these reporters, the federal government is covering the cost through fema's food and shelter grant. the city oem the office of emergency management will cover the cost and then they get reimbursed by fema which is the federal government. >> brian: couple of things. do you realize how bad this is? you have new york greeting these illi will immigrants broke the , shipped up here for free given telephones and hotel rooms, what do you think they are seeing in nicaragua, honduras, cuba, brazil, mexico? they're saying, honey, we have no choice. this is our chance to go to the
4:13 am
best country in the world for free and we have a nice soft landing with 3% unemployment. so you are saying there is absolutely no repercussions. in fact, being rewarded for breaking our laws and those people that are waiting in line in immigration and paying the fees and playing the perfect game if you have a green card making sure you don't break any laws or you will be banned forever, they must be saying what suckers we are. in new york already 1800, probably a lot more, 35 buss in d.c. 180 buses, 7400 migrants and now we find out the federal government is paying for it. joe biden can you go to scranton but you can't run from this story. >> ainsley: the new york city mayor never complained about secret flights more than a year ago. >> brian: not a word. >> ainsley: didn't hear a peep saying illegal migrants were coming to the new york area until a republican governor in texas starts doing it and then he says migrants are being used as political pawns then the white house says the actions by governor abdomen down in texas are shameful. why? that's the double standard right
4:14 am
there. we are learning that the federal government has been doing this for a long time. more buses from the federal government or flights or individuals than abbott ever did. but now they are complaining? >> brian: right. politics. >> steve: yesterday, in the white house pressroom, our white house correspondent asked the press secretary a question about the border but at the same time it are what is going on here in new york. yesterday the u.s. open opened and as it turns out, as you will hear in this answer, the u.s. is open for migrants but the u.s. is not open for. >> ainsley: one of the top tennis players. >> steve: in the world. watch. >> peter: how's come migrants are allowed to come into this country unvaccinated but world class tennis players are not. >> are you talking about -- which world class tennis player. >> peter: novak djokovic. somebody unvaccinated comes over on a plane you say that's not okay. somebody walks into texas or
4:15 am
arizona unvaccinated, they are allowed to stay? why? >> but that's not how it works. like we actually. >> peter: you know that's not what you guys want to happen but that is what is happening. >> it's not like somebody walks over -- that's not. >> peter: that's exactly what is happening. >> it's not that simple. it's not just that people are walking across -- across the border. we have -- we have a plan in place. >> brian: can we just show footage of people walking across the border? or ficiousd out of the river? what is wrong with her? >> steve: i don't think she watches the fox news channel because. >> brian: does she watch any national news? >> steve: yeah, on other channels they don't show. >> brian: look at that are they walking across the border? >> steve: not yet. but they will be, everybody in that line is going to be walking across the border. >> brian: that's eagle pass. they are here eagle pass. >> steve: there they are walking across the border. bill melugin who is at the border all the time responded to her yesterday with this tweet, he wrote: colleague peter doocy
4:16 am
is 100 percent correct. that is exactly what is happening at our border. people are walking across. not sure how many more videos we have to show. multiple times a day to get this point across. and that doesn't even account for the more than half a million got-aways who slipped through since october 1st. so for the press secretary, if you have never seen them walk across the border. there it is. we show this almost every day because some people don't know and now you know. >> brian: what's worse? if she does know or doesn't know? if she does know or just flat out lied or if she doesn't know and she is pretending that she is a press secretary for the president of the united states? because you are not worthy of that job if you do not know that people are walking across the border between 2 million and 4 million. that's not a small invasion. that is a major invasion. and we're welcoming them in every city. is she following the mayor against governor fight in her
4:17 am
own country. >> ainsley: one woman on one of these buses that official down in texas was saying, you know, fema was paying for it he said that there was a bus of 35 venezuelans, one of the moms said she brought her four grandchildren, son-in-law, barometer we decided to leave venezuela due. i wanted to give education to my children grandchildren. >> brian: we will at a for it. >> ainsley: breaks your heart, right? but we are going to pay for that and we are going to pay for all of them. they all have the same story. >> brian: they don't look famished. sadly we have seen people who are running for their lives and are true refugees. these people are just like hey, i have an idea, let's go to america for free. there is no enforcement. at the border. there is no immigration crack down. we get free schooling, we get nikeys, we get a cell phone and we get a hotel oroom. this is great. great country. as we are how much almost a trillion dollars over debt every year? >> steve: since this started with the talk of the u.s. open, i was watching serena last
4:18 am
night. they won't let the tennis player in because he is unvaccinated; however, when i was watching, i saw one person wearing a mask. it was a camera guy behind serena. nobody else in a mask. >> brian: they shouldn't be it's outdoors wearing a mask? >> steve: it's still a cdc rule. >> brian: to wear a mask, when? >> ainsley: to be vaccinated if you are a foreigner coming to our country. if you are coming to play tennis. >> steve: not americans. >> ainsley: not down at the border. >> steve: it's a head scamper. >> ashley: we are going to start with this. headlines in washington where d.c. police released these images of the suspects accused of shooting washington commanders running back brian robinson multiple times. authorities belief they recovered the get away car used in sunday's incident and commanders' head coach ron rivera also speaking to the incident. >> this was a happenstance because he had just gone out to get a meal. and then he was in the middle of this very unfortunate situation. so, probably wrong place, wrong time.
4:19 am
>> ashley: rivera not ruling out the possibility of robinson playing at some point this nfl season. the rookie revealed on instagram that surgery for gunshot wounds to his leg went well. businesses in san francisco are threatening to withhold tax payments over the city's homeless crisis. a group representing local businesses in the area say owners are fed up with the filthy conditions driving away customers. >> every day we wake up and have to help people on the street. we have to clean up feces on the street. we have to clear our doorways before we can open our businesses. and it's not fair. >> ashley: in a letter to city officials, the ground is requesting 35 shelter beds for homeless people. and elon musk submitting an sec filing on twitter confirming his lawyers sent a letter to the social media giant that he is formally terminating their merger agreement. the billionaire crites recent allegations he raised questions about the shortcomings of the

sources speaking to fox news. tebow is resigning after shielding hunter biden from criminal investigations into his laptop and business dealings. tebow had already been on leave after a month, after whistle-blower claims the fbi obstructed its own investigation. now g.o.p. lawmakers led by chuck grassley are demanding facebook handover communications on hunter biden in the wake of mark zuckerberg's recent comments. >> the fbi basically came to us, some folks on our team, and was like, "hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. we thought there was a lot of russian propaganda in the 2016 election. we have it on notice that basically there is about to be some kind of dump similar to that, so be vigilant." >> in their letter, republicans are right that the american people deserve to know whether the fbi used facebook or other
