Senator Hawley was interviewed on Jesse Watters’ show on Monday, where he strongly stated the need for consequences in light of the actions revealed in the Durham Report. He called for the prosecution of the Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton, citing the concerning link between Clinton’s public remarks about collusion and her campaign’s alleged role in providing false information to the FBI.
“People need to be prosecuted for this. The Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton herself, is it any coincidence that she is tweeting about collusion at exactly the same time her campaign operatives are feeding this BS to the FBI? I don’t think so,” stated Hawley firmly during the interview.
Hawley didn’t just want Clinton to be held responsible, but also expressed worries about the FBI’s condition, urging for a leadership change and a thorough renovation of the organization.
“FBI leadership has clearly got to be changed…I’m of the mind we need to end the FBI as we know it. It needs to be broken up. I mean, clearly it has become corrupt. The leadership is corrupt,” he exclaimed.
The Durham Report, which has been highly anticipated, found that the FBI had no valid reason to start the Trump-Russia Probe. This has led some Americans, especially those who don’t support American exceptionalism, to view it as evidence of deceit towards the public once more. Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation uncovered major flaws in how the Department of Justice and FBI followed the law.
It’s understandable that Hawley is upset with the FBI considering recent events. On Thursday, three ex-FBI officials will testify about being retaliated against for speaking out. They plan to reveal that FBI personnel altered information about domestic violent extremism to fit the Biden administration’s political agenda.
The senator expressed admiration for the hardworking FBI agents in the field, highlighting a clear difference between their commitment to duty and the alleged political bias of the agency’s leadership. “You can talk to FBI agents in the field. I was just doing this just this past week. Great folks in my home state all over the place, but they’re not served by this leadership. This leadership has become totally, radically politicized, and we’ve got to change it,” Hawley asserted.
