Summary
It was recently revealed that in Nov. 2017, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI issued a grand jury subpoena to Google for Kash Patel’s personal records, emails, and credit card information. “And I wasn’t the only one. We’ve confirmed at least one other senior congressional staffer was subpoenaed,” says Kash Patel.
At the time, Patel was senior counsel and chief investigator for the House Intelligence Committee’s Russiagate investigation under then-Chairman Devin Nunes.
“If you send out a subpoena to investigate a member of Congress and/or his staff, the Attorney General must sign off on that. That means Rod Rosenstein himself…had to have personally signed off on it,” says Patel. Attorney General Jeff Sessions had recused himself and vested authority in Rosenstein.
Two months later, in a closed-door meeting in January 2018, Rosenstein threatened to subpoena the records of Devin Nunes and his staff, Patel says. He would later deny issuing such a threat when asked by Rep. Jim Jordan under oath.
“How is it that Rod Rosenstein threatened to subpoena my emails and my records along with Congressman Nunes’ in January of 2018. Yet he had already knowingly authorized it two months prior?” says Patel.
In this episode, we discuss these growing scandals for the DOJ and FBI, and we also look at a recent “Twitter Files” drop that shows the FBI paid Twitter over $3.4 million between Oct. 2019 and Feb. 2021. This is just the tip of the iceberg, argues Patel.
“I bet you it’s ten times that amount… In January, the Republicans have to demand every relationship agreement between the FBI and every big tech company and every single dollar of our money that was spent by the FBI to put on the largest disinformation campaign to rig a presidential election,” says Patel.
“And if anyone thinks that it was a one-off, they are completely wrong.”

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody and welcome back to Cash's Corner this week, Jan, we've said it before, but all roads lead back to Russiagate, and apparently they lead directly back to me. So there's this |
| 0:22.8 | amazing email that you got from Google not too long ago. I mean, I can hardly believe it. Basically, |
| 0:29.5 | that your records were subpoenaed back in 2017 by the Department of Justice. Absolutely astounding. |
| 0:35.8 | We're going to get to that. Before we go there, |
| 0:38.0 | I want to talk about the Twitter files. I mean, so much, so much being revealed in the digital space. |
| 0:43.2 | We know that in little over the course of a year, $3.5 million, based on the records that Michael |
| 0:50.2 | Schellenberger has revealed, went from the FBI to Twitter as part of their program of |
| 0:57.1 | working together. What do you make of this? It's a shocking level of government overreach and |
| 1:03.9 | abuse. And this is $3.5 million that we know about. But if you rewind the clock to Cash's Corner |
| 1:10.3 | a couple of weeks ago when you and I were |
| 1:11.8 | on, we were the first ones in the world to say that why isn't Elon Musk revealing the contractual |
| 1:17.9 | relationships that the FBI has not just with Twitter, but Facebook and Google and otherwise, |
| 1:23.1 | but at least Elon had control over it. And here we are a couple weeks later finding out that |
| 1:27.3 | not only was there a contract relationship, |
| 1:29.5 | but taxpayer-funded dollars to the tune of $3.5 million flowed from the FBI directly to Twitter |
| 1:35.4 | to censor free speech. |
| 1:38.0 | This is the criminalization of free speech at the highest order because it was done at the behest |
| 1:43.9 | of the Federal Bureau of |
| 1:44.8 | Investigation. My question is not that, oh, great, we found this landmine $3.5 million. |
| 1:51.8 | I bet you it's 10 times that amount. And now this Congress coming in on January, |
| 1:57.6 | the Republicans have to demand every relationship agreement between the FBI and every |
