STEVE BANNON (HOST): The guys in the Southern District (of New York) are criminals. You're criminals.
...
The people there now are crooks. You think you're going to shut me up? I got another -- you got another thing coming. I'm coming for you. OK, you are crooks. You are a crook, brother, you're a crook.
...
This gets down to the rot inside the United States government, and somebody's got to hit this with a blowtorch. Rudy, no longer can you have a meeting and a guy pats you on the head and says, “Hey, Rudy, thanks for the four pounds of documents. I'll get back to you," and then they don't get back to you. This is the problem with the country. This is how a country gets sold out.
...
BANNON: (Former U.S. Attorney Geoffrey) Berman, another Christie appointee, another Christie recommendation, another one of those hacks from New Jersey, Trenton.
...
All those corrupt guys up in Trenton -- here's what you gave the president, Christie. You gave him Berman, who's a disaster, and you gave him (FBI Director Christopher) Wray, who's a bigger disaster. The reason that we're in this situation is stiff -- the Republican apparatus is just as incompetent -- these are all Christie appointees.
...
BANNON: Throw Berman in with Preet Bharara. I don't care if he's a Republican, throw Berman in there too. Investigate him, all these guys -- Berman's got to be investigated, Wray's got to be investigated. Wray's got to be investigated, Berman's got to be investigated, Preet Bharara's got to be investigated, Preet Bharara ought to be in jail. You come out and you're a Democratic Party operative, every day on Trump? Hey, guess what bro, we got the receipts. It's all coming out. All coming out, OK? Think you're going to back me off? Sorry, not going to happen.
