ANDREW KLAVAN (HOST): We have these two battling scandals, Epstein and Obama. Two sinister people who did really, really terrible things.

And there's probably — I would say there's no question that Tulsi Gabbard has brought on this Obama scandal to appease the Trump base and hope that they stop paying attention to Epstein, which is not gonna work. But still, that's probably why they did it. But that doesn't mean it's not true.

So, Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence, she releases new documents showing that the Russian collusion hoax was, in fact, an actual hoax, an actual fraud. And even the idea was that Trump had colluded with Putin and with the Russians, and they had, on his — with his help, mingle — meddled in our elections and changed the voting. OK? And so they've hacked into our elections. And it now turns out that even the idea that Putin supported Trump over Hillary is based on virtually nothing. It's based on a fragment of nothing. And, of course, so much of this was set off with this Steele dossier, which accused Trump of visiting prostitutes in Moscow who urinated on the bed. Just complete nonsense. And all of that was oppo research funded by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. Alright.

So — and, you know, it was amazing. It was amazing. I saw James Comey, former head of the FBI, who was part of this conspiracy — I guess we can call it — Bret Baier on his show, on Special Report on Fox, showed a seven year old interview with James Comey in which Comey is clearly not telling the truth. I mean, he clearly — he said — he says things like — he says, have you ever, you know, have you seen, John Brennan and Clapper? You know, the guys who were part of this conspiracy. And he says, yeah. I just had dinner with him. And Bret Baier says, and did you talk about Trump? No. We had talked about him.

So the idea is Barack Obama — that there's no real information from the intelligence that Russia had any kind of effect on the election — everybody always is meddling with everybody else's elections. I'm sure we do it, and I'm sure they do it, but it was nothing. It was like some a couple of thousand bucks spent on Facebook posts and things like this. Just typical, typical stuff that there was nothing. And basically, Obama said, go find me some stuff. And then they put in the Steele dossier, which was complete trash. John Brennan insisted it be included in intelligence reports. And Comey went in and briefed Trump, who had been who was coming into the presidency, briefed Trump about it so that it could be leaked to the news media, and then the news media ran with it. Alright?
