The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1:

• The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board writes: “The Justice Department’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation is the fiasco that keeps on giving, and look no further than this week’s revelations of abuse of power. The latest news is that Justice snooped on the Congressional investigators who dared to conduct oversight of its snooping on the 2016 Trump campaign. Numerous current and former congressional staffers have learned that Justice subpoenaed their personal phone and email records in 2017, likely under the pretext of a leak investigation. The targets included Republican and Democratic staffers in the Senate and House. They join staffers and Members of the House Intelligence Committee, who over the past two years said they were notified by Google or Apple that Justice seized their data. By our count, executive-branch prosecutors have now been caught fishing through the records of more than a dozen employees of the congressional branch.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/department-of-justice-congress-spying-jason-foster-empower-oversight-f2d6235e?mod=opinion_lead_pos1
• Brooke Singman of Fox News reports: “The FBI maintained more than 40 confidential human sources on various criminal matters related to the Biden family, including Joe Biden, dating back to his time as vice president, according to information obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley…Grassley learned that an FBI task force within the Washington Field Office sought to, and in some cases, successfully, shut down reporting and information from those sources by falsely discrediting the information as foreign disinformation. That effort ‘caused investigative activity to cease.’” You can read the full report here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-received-criminal-information-40-confidential-sources-joe-biden-hunter-jim-grassley
• On Thursday, in response to drone attacks against U.S. troops, American F-16 fighter jets conducted two airstrikes against Iranian-backed military groups in Syria. While appearing on MSNBC, Defense Department Spokesperson Brigadier General Pat Ryder said of the strikes against Iranian proxies: “Hopefully they get the message loud and clear and will cease these attacks against our forces in Iraq and Syria.”
• While appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) vowed to separate funding packages for Ukraine and Israel—explaining that House Republicans will find $14 billion in budgetary cuts and use that savings to provide Israel with the aid they’ve requested.
• While walking to her Congressional office, far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) was asked to condemn the actions of Hamas. Instead, Tlaib bizarrely accused the reporter of “dehumanizing Palestinians.”
