| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Bullword podcast. I'm your host Tim Miller. I've had some feedback from listeners. They've been getting a little bit too much spinach from me lately on the pod. Now, |
| 0:21.1 | I love spinach. Okay. I like collards, you know. I like kale. I'm a lib like that. But I also |
| 0:29.5 | like to listen to feedback. And so I started to think we need some candy. We need some eye candy. |
| 0:35.1 | And so I asked today's guest to come on in a tank top. |
| 0:38.9 | He did not do that, unfortunately. |
| 0:40.4 | He's a former U.S. |
| 0:51.9 | member of the U.S. House of Representatives. He's a veteran. He's a founder of country first. You can find him on substack. It's my man, Adam Kinsaker. Why are you, why do you have sleeves on it? I know. I'm sorry about it, but I'll give you a little something there. |
| 0:52.8 | Oh, yeah, okay. |
| 0:55.9 | There was an Instagram post that was going around. |
| 0:57.1 | I think that's why you came to mind. |

I received a couple texts from some gays, and I was like, I don't know what he's up to in Croatia. Oh, it happens. It happens. Anyway, all right. We've got, and we've got at some level scary. We're going to talk about whether we should treat it like it's scary, though, in a little bit. But we have certainly |
| 1:16.2 | outrageous news out of Washington, which is former podcast Jim Comey, was indicted last night. It was a |
| 1:22.4 | revenge indictment that comes after the firing of Comey's daughter from DOJ, and then the firing of the U.S. |
| 1:30.2 | attorney who refused to prosecute Comey. |
| 1:32.3 | The grand jury approved two of the three counts. |
| 1:34.9 | It's based on a 2020 congressional testimony about the Russia probe. |
| 1:38.0 | Comey said that he did not authorize someone at FBI to be an anonymous source. |
| 1:43.4 | Then I guess there's some other testimony that he had authorized somebody to be an anonymous source. Then I guess there's some other testimony that |
| 1:45.4 | he had authorized somebody to be an anonymous source with the media. So that's it. That's the |
| 1:50.0 | big crime that we're going for there. The statute of limitations ran out on Monday. So they jam |
| 1:54.7 | that baby through with a new hackish prosecutor. And this is the country we're in now. If Donald Trump doesn't like you, |
| 2:03.9 | they're just going to try to jam indictments against you. What do you make of all that, Adam? |
