Hello and welcome back to the re-education. Today's show is a little different. There is no interview.

Instead, I wanted to take a little bit of a longer look at whether there was a double standard in 2016 and 2017 and 2018

and how the FBI investigated Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election cycle and Donald Trump in the 2016 election cycle and the first

two and a half years of his presidency. I think it's important because right now we are in another

round of intense speculation about the meaning of the Moralago raid from earlier this month.

So with that in mind, please enjoy this extended monologue.

The FBI makes mistakes.

The church makes mistakes.

People make mistakes. They screw up. Should this be any reason for Americans not trust that what the FBI and the DOJ are doing now is in pursuit of protecting classified documents?

Well, Joe, absolutely the American public should trust what the FBI is doing. You know, what's funny is I think back, the year and a half that I spent with a team

looking at Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, there was no concern.

There was no outrage on behalf of any Republican as we used search warrants, as we went out and

did a very invasive investigation to try and get to the bottom of what she did or didn't do.

So it's not that the FBI is targeting any one side or the other.

What you see is the FBI going out on a day-and-day-out basis, objectively investigating allegations of law.

It just so happens that the only thing that tends to come up in the right-wing

ecosphere, whether in the media or on the hill or from President Trump, are those things

where they take a personal affront because it directly impacts them. There's absolute silence

when the FBI is investigating former Secretary Clinton. There's absolute silence when the FBI is

doing things that isn't targeting them.

So I think this is a one-sided narrative that has been developed and amplified,

particularly by President Trump, going back to 2015 and 2016.
