The likely Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI), Mike Turner (R-OH), appears on CBS Face the Nation with DC stenographer for the regime, Margaret Brennan.
You know the left wing of the DC political operation is riddled with angst, when Margaret Brennan goes tilt, stomps her heels and throws the proverbial coffee pot across the table. The only thing missing was Margaret pounding the table and yelling ‘curse you villain.‘ The unbiased pretenses are chucked right out the window here. The interview is a little funny. WATCH:
[Transcript] – MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to Ohio Congressman Mike Turner, he is expected to head up the House Intelligence Committee. Good morning to you.
REP. MIKE TURNER: Good morning Margaret, thank you for having me.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So we have this development in regard to the further materials that were found at President Biden’s Delaware home. What is your reaction? And what does it signify to you that no one realized that this classified material was missing, some of it dating back to his Senate years?
REP. TURNER: This is really incredible. And as you know, congratulations to you, we would not know anything about this if it hadn’t been that CBS had broken this story. The White House nor the Department of Justice had shared any of the information with the public. And this really is one matter, we wouldn’t have this issue if it hadn’t been for Biden’s Attorney General did- making the decision to raid former President Trump’s house looking for- for classified documents that were being held there. What’s amazing about all this is it takes us to the question of why were these documents here? Well, now that we learned that some of these go back to his Senate time, you know, clearly he’s- he’s become a serial classified document hoarder. Why did he have these? Who did he show them to? I mean, the only reason you can think of as to why anyone would take classified documents out of a classified space at home is to- is to show them to somebody. Who did he show them to? This is going to be crucial, I think, to the special counsel’s investigation, is why did the president have these documents? Who did he show them to him? And is it connected to the Biden family businesses?
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, you know, the differences of course, too. I want to talk about the Biden situation. But just to clarify, when you reference President Trump, there were 300 classified documents, there was a warrant, there was refusal to comply in terms of handing things over and the White House and the president’s lawyer are pointing out that in the case of Biden, he granted permission, and this was consensual for the DOJ to come in and search. Does the fact that the Justice Department conducted the search signify anything more to you and do you have any insight into the sensitivity of the documents?
REP. TURNER: Sure, absolutely. I think this looks more like a cover up than an investigation.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Do you have any facts to back up your- your allegations that he was hoarding things in terms of intention to take classified material versus it’s been characterized that it was somehow accidental? Do you have any insight into what these materials were?
REP. TURNER: Well, they didn’t fly to his home without him. They went on a train with him from the- his Senate offices and then in boxes that he was in charge of. The chain of custody here is going to be important, because we know that these were in Joe Biden’s hands and Joe Biden’s control, then ended up behind his Corvette in his garage and in his office, that he did not control and also throughout his house, so the special counsel is gonna have to deal with the issue of what was the chain of custody? Who had these? Why did he take them to begin with? When did he get them? When was he handed these documents? And what did he do with them? And this is a real critical question to all this, why did he have these documents to begin with? And that is why the special counsel’s work is going to be really important, because I can think of no reason why the president should have taken home, as a senator or as vice president, any classified documents that clearly have no protection. They’re available and open to anybody.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You have also before this development asked for a briefing from the Director of National Intelligence. You set a deadline of Thursday, do you have any further reason to believe they will meet that deadline, that you will get any insight into these materials?
REP. TURNER: Well we’ll have to see, but what’s critical here–
MARGARET BRENNAN: They haven’t responded?
REP. TURNER: –And this is very important, this is what’s very important to all of this, Margaret, and that is the FBI and the national archivists were working completely independent of the intelligence community, or the Department of Defense. They claim this was all an issue of national security, but they did not speak to anyone who’s involved in national security.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So no response yet from the intelligence community?
REP. TURNER: I have not received a response, no.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Okay. I also want to ask you what leadership looks like with Republicans in charge. You are also on House Oversight.
REP. TURNER: Right.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Of the 26 Republican members on the committee, 19 of them denied the results of the 2020 election. Your colleagues now include Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, Lauren Boebert, Scott Perry. They all played critical roles in – in the former president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Do you have any concerns about working with these lawmakers? I mean, you’re very much a centrist.
REP. TURNER: Well, you know, even on the Democrat side, there’s been a number of people who objected to President Bush’s reelection and voted against certifying his election.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I am asking about you, your party, and your colleagues.
(CROSSTALK)
REP. TURNER: There’s a long history of both sides, having raised issues, including, you recall, the- Al Gore taking President Bush’s election all the way to the Supreme Court.
(CROSSTALK)
MARGARET BRENNAN: You are not an election denier by CBS standards just to be clear.
REP. TURNER: I am not, and I work with both sides of the aisle, and there are election deniers on both sides of the aisle.
MARGARET BRENNAN: You are comfortable with all those individuals I just rattled off and the fact that the majority of the Republicans on this committee denied the election results. Is that what you are saying?
REP TURNER: What I’m comfortable with is -the electorate are very smart. And these people have been sent to Congress to represent their districts and to be part of the congressional debate-
MARGARET BRENNAN: Yes.
REP TURNER: -to lead us to what’s going to be bipartisan, bicameral resolutions. We have a split government right now, Republicans control the House, the Senate is controlled by the Democrats, you have a Democrat president. We’re going to have a lot of debate and discussions. And I think this is going to be a very fruitful period for- for Congress and for our country, because it’s going to have to be bipartisan, bicameral, and I believe that the president in opening negotiations with Republicans is beginning to start that process.
MARGARET BRENNAN: What is actually possible in this bipartisan, bicameral situation? What can you actually get legislation through on?
(CROSSTALK)
REP. TURNER: Depending on what the pending- what the president’s willing to do, I think it’s unlimited. Right? We have really tough issues right now. We have out of control inflation. We have an open border and record people crossing our border.
MARGARET BRENNAN: What about gun control?
REP. TURNER: We have -we have the issue of Russia, and certainly in Ukraine, and certainly China, I think we’re going to have a number of issues that we’re going to have to deal with.
MARGARET BRENNAN: All right, Congressman Turner, we have to leave it there today.
REP. TURNER: Thank you, Margaret.
We have record inflation, out of control Southern border but
“WHAT ABOUT GUN CONTROL?!?!”
What a bimbo
She also mentioned “missing” classified documents. I believe they would be copies and if the government can’t track this stuff, you think they can keep a handle on fraud, Ukrainian weapons, or simply a basic inventory of government assets?
They are going to wait until Biden mentions running for re election again.
Seems that each time he mentions he is running again….
It’s a –and wait ….we found more documents!
Hat tip to Alex Christoforu for that observation…
All they ever needed to do to get Joe to step down was to tell him it was time to go, out pops a medical issue. No way they would need a situation as bad as this to get rid of him.
Reality is always ten times worse than what the dems are willing to admit.
Want to spend more time with his family.
They know what Documents he is supposed to have.
Bongino… your little comical graphic is missing one arrow. The one from Hunter back to Zelensky and or the Oligarks. Quid pro Quo. Cash to Hunter, in exchange for some top secret info. Documents to be left laying around after use. Per ususal.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/?s=Hunter+biden+certificates
The worthless Democrat Loyalist such as Margaret sell their souls… some for power, others for money, but they can never return to normal. It’s sad to see the downfall of someone whom many actually thought was a decent reporter 10 years ago.
What about bimbo control?
How about CBS News do their own Bimboectomy? Perhaps they can get to it after they clean out the nincompoopery and other poseurs in the upper food chain.
Most of America has passed them by. They’re more laughable than a Lawrence Welk Rerun.
The white leftist shrike matriarchy is at the satanic root of cultural marxism. BIG problem along with the emasculated American numayle. And by the way, this country could damn well use the music and clean entertainment Lawrence Welk and his guests used to provide to the American Heartland. Welk was a Saturday night institution with all four of our grand parents, Aunts and Uncles along with most of the Brooklyn neighborhood we grew up in. Those who who fought for and helped build this country.
These people are REALLY STUPID.
Lol…lol…lol…
Margaret is a leading intellectual don’t you know.
She’s a gun-denier too..
Trying to disarm the public is all that’s left.
They can’t figure out how to do it.
They’re convinced they’ll be shot in face , again and again.
They finally got something right.
Real President Trump’s Special Counsel was meant to claw back the evidence PDT has on these Gangsters and in hopes of throwing him in prison.
Pedophile Biden’s Special Counsel is only meant to keep him floating until they’re ready to flush.
But both Special Counsels are essentially Nominating Conventions; one is meant to nominate DeSantis and the other, Newsome–or some other satanic puppet.
Gruesome you mean?
When the war comes and the patriots levy accountability, Margaret Brennan should be given the Claretta Petacci treatment.
Interesting comment you made here. Margaret might like that treatment.
No work. Just hanging around…….
If joebama hadn’t been installed, would there be any documents found? They go all the way back to when he was in the senate? Is joebama the only swamp creature who hordes classified documents? No one knows anything about documents illegally in someone’s possession until they are accidently found?
It only happened because he said he was running for Re-Installation.
Was he drunk again?
Naaaah….just demented.
I’m going to help some people out with some research, and I didn’t even need to go too far. Thanks Sundance, again.
Anyone remember this guy in the article. Notice how he disappeared? If anyone would know about what was in the Biden Docs causing the DS to reveal that they even existed, and no, It’s not because they want to get rid of ole smelly shorts, it’s Massey.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/?s=Hunter+biden+certificates
That’s right!
I’ve read and heard so many negative comments on Maxey because he didn’t produce all the results he was presenting.
I think you misspelled the guy’s name; the article refers to Maxey, (just a note).
Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
Ms. Brennan: “… no one realized that this classified material was missing”
Me: BS!!!! UNLESS, the dox were ILLEGALLY copied by Mr. Biden or his staff. In which case, Mr. Biden is DIRECTLY culpable.
She played the ‘intent card,’ which is not what the law states as I understand it.
It’s Hillary II.
She didn’t intend …
intent, pfft…. our judicial system consistently twists itself into pretzels to find ways to absolve these characters based on the “right” intentions.
Why has nobody asked, if Biden was so forthcoming, after the first documents were found, why didn’t he, voluntarily, return all the other documents? Instead, they had to search for them, several different times!
Great point, one about which I have been ruminating for a while.
They had to have been illegally copied. That’s the only way they could dodge accountability.
And that’s a whole new level of intent.
This is all a big distraction from the federal government censoring/ abolishing the 1st amendment and weaponizing the federal gov against us.
Didn’t Comey do the same thing with the Trump investigation? I thought the FBI was supposed to report to congress National security matters or do they just tell gang of 8
REP. TURNER: –And this is very important, this is what’s very important to all of this, Margaret, and that is the FBI and the national archivists were working completely independent of the intelligence community, or the Department of Defense. They claim this was all an issue of national security, but they did not speak to anyone who’s involved in national security.
At the get go she puts it out. Biden had some documents as Senator and then VP and archives either never knew or allowed it. Trump had documents for 6 months and they tracked him down with vengeance. Who else has documents outside Gov. Biden is so dippy he gave the OK to raid Trump. Always in the over-reach.
Biden and Merrick Garland agreed to raid Mar-a-lago. This is backfiring on them.
He missed a great opportunity!!
MARGARET BRENNAN: What about gun control?
REP. TURNER: Should have responded) Yes. I’m in favor of controlling US guns in Ukraine!!
Have they searched the fake oval office set yet?
Margret’s shrieking, interrupting questions reminds me of Savannah Guthrie interviewing the Real President prior to 2020.
Palace guard narrative engineer, indeed.
Never mind about fake the nation.
Tune into Diamond and Silk .
Starting Feb 1, 2023,
Its just Silk now because Diamond suddenly died as Silk suspects from the covid jab.
Will Silk be on Newsmax – or where?
I thought that they both rejected the jab?
Margaret Brennan. What a nobody. How can anybody take that barking shill of a loser chick seriously. With that tacky makeup and lighting she looks like a refugee from The View.
Mausoleum Media. Zombieland. This is the best they got?
the transcript is wrong.
listen carefully.
MARGE actually sez:
devolvement. (not development).
even the so called well dressed highly educated media maniacs can’t seem to get their mouths to form the “right” words.
it’s a slip. not a mistake.
inside MARGE’s brain is working overtime to try try try to make this all seem normal and downplay the significance. and of course the gaslighting and conflation…she brings everything ..all the tricks of the trade.
but in that very moment.
DEVOLVEMENT…
listen carefully.
(from someone who has problems writing well, syntax and grammar and punctuation, I have a personal lifetime of experience dealing with various ticks. So when I hear others make them, my ears and eyes go on full alert. Usually when someone makes such a mistake…they correct it. (if they can). But she doesn’t.
that is an interesting thing to observe.
to not address this mistake can only mean one thing: she IS aware of the mistake, but correcting it would give too much attention to what her brain actually was doing…
DEVOLVEMENT.
I like words. I may have trouble forming them, but I understand what mistakes are..and what they mean.
This is a unique insight into the corrupted mind of someone who KNOWS THEY ARE UNETHICAL AND IMMORAL, but are willing to compromise those values to get a reward.
a paid mouth whore.
I work with other people who have language and verbal skill issues. But it iS THE CHARACTER OF THE PERSON THAT SHINES THROUGH.
there is only darkness dressed in thousand dollar cloth and expensive jewelry with this one.
MARGE! WE SEE YOU!
God Bless America
The Leftists use the same terms, slogans, and arguments, can we not fine tune our responses to shut down their weak arguments? You know the “election deniers” term is going to be used, so flip it back on them.
Simply ask, “Do you believe that the 2020 election was completely flawless in that every legitimate vote was counted and every nonlegitimate vote was not counted with 100% accuracy? Is it not possible that a vote was improperly counted here or there?” If the grudgingly agree but add that it did not make a difference in the outcome, then respond with, “So, we are in complete agreement then, that the election was not 100% accurate. In fact, it is probably unanimously agreed that it was not 100% accurate, so the debate is now over the scale of the error. How is it that banks can manage billions of dollars down to the exact penny, yet we cannot for one day, make a flawless count of the people’s vote? Should we not demand that level of accuracy?”
You could then note the gravity of the situation by adding, “Would you bet your life on the accuracy of the results of the 2020 election? Because over 1 million Americans have given their lives to maintain our freedom to choose our leaders in this country. We dishonor their sacrifice and do them a great disservice by not being able to competently manage the integrity of our elections. For if we do not have accurate elections, we no longer have a Republic!”
Finally, one could add in examples of the “computer glitches,” the lack of custody control for 100’s of thousands of ballots, the statistical anomalies, etc.
To really get them, cite the 2000 election where the selection of president came down to a few hundred votes in Florida. Then tell them that based on the desire of the people that Al Gore should have been elected president. Not from hanging chads, but in a couple of counties (can’t remember their names) that were Democratic strongholds, they used a butterfly ballot which confused many voters as Pat Buchannon received 1000’s of votes–well above expectation as Gore’s name appeared beside the circle that actually was diagramed for Buchannon. Thus, there were perhaps 1000’s of people who thought they were voting for Gore when they actually voted for Buchannon. That’s an example of a poorly laid out ballot and human error on the voters’ part, but the 2020 election with so many mail-in votes, there were many points of failure that were worthy of investigation. The greater point is that until we have full and complete confidence in flawlessly administering our elections, we ALL SHOULD be very concerned with their accuracy, and no one should be as you are, smugly dismissive about it.
Sorry for the long post.
The Secret Service, who is meant to fine comb the president’s residence, etc., never saw boxes of classified documents sitting unattended in a garage? Seriously?
MARGARET BRENNAN: What about gun control?
REP. TURNER: Margaret, you stupid slut.
I’ll admit straight out that I have not read the above article. That being said, two questions obvious to most come to the prevaling surface that require deliberate pointed answers with no gray areas that could leave one guessing. 1. How is it the National Archives allowed classified documents to be taken out by the VP or his minions without the VP having authority to view them in the first place? 2. Why has the National Archives not tried to retrieve said documents in the time frame since the documents were first withdrawn? Have they no procedures in place? Even the local village library has a means of tracking and recovering over due material!
“What about gun control?!?!?! Lol!
Would it be possible to be any less professional these so called journalists are? I have no idea why Republicans go on these shows. This guy did a good job but it is so biased it just seems like a waste of time.
“Election denier” = Anyone who objects to election fraud and demands election integrity. Sounds like the radical Left’s new buzz word they had to come up with for Americans who support our Constitutional Republic, since “Racist”, “Homophobic”, and “Xenophobic” don’t have the desired affect of silencing anyone anymore . “Climate denier” is another new buzzword to try to shame anyone objecting to Marxism and the destruction of the US economy, which is what the ESG objectives are really all about.
Be on the lookout, as the brainwashed liberal sheep around us who can’t think for themselves and only know how to parrot their fake news media will be throwing these buzzwords at you if you have the misfortune of having to engage in a conversation with any of them about these topics.
SO much talk about the dox found at Biden’s homes office, etc…but the final question hasn’t been explored though it seems so obvious to me. The dox found (which had been in his office and GARAGE for 6 years!) concerned Ukraine and China… think back to six years ago…was Ukraine on anyone’s radar? Wasn’t the US concerned about Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan? Why did Joe take classified dox concerning Ukraine and China?…where was Hunter doing business (Ukraine and China)….?
He handled CBS’s BS very well. I’m hopeful for the future of this committee, even though the DOJ/FBI partisans will stonewall everything until after the next election.
Fifty years in Congress the only thing he learned is how to be a crook.
With respect to documents, what it shows is stuff is over-classified probably to maintain the intel “silos” Sundance writes about.
TURNER is yet another “-R” Fraud who should be removed from running any congressional committee. But of course he’s PERFECT for CBS’s Deface The Nation – and Brennan, spokeswhamin for the white leftist American shrike. Tucker Carlson exposed him fairly well last year, but it lacked real detail and was of course lost on the normies. Turner is another -R who’s all in for Ukraine/Zelensky too… so I say let him hook up with his like -R ilk Lindsey Graham; McConnell; Cornyn; Popeye Crenshaw, Maria “Ov Cawwwrse” Salazr who wants American pilots man a No Fly Zone over Uke; bone face Michael McCaul; et al., ad infinitum… get their load outs together, and go set up L shaped ambushes against his enemy Putin.
I couldn’t watch it all. So tired of weak republicans , no fight, just bloviating. The question isn’t “why” it’s the “he didn’t have the legal right”, Biden was not president, trump was…he just lets her make this red herring of “well trump had more”, blah blah. Just can’t stand weak republicans. We need more Kari Lakes and fewer turners
