Summary

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday’s 3 Martini Lunch as they examine whether anyone from President Obama’s administration will be held accountable for concocting and executing the bogus Trump-Russia collusion narrative, Democrats scoring a major recruiting win in North Carolina’s Senate race, and what Ghislaine Maxwell might reveal today in her DOJ interview about the Epstein scandal.

First, they react to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explaining how President Obama and his national security team fabricated intelligence to undermine Donald Trump's first term. They also discuss why it's probably going to be very difficult to prosecute or convict members of the team for their actions.

Next, they wince as Democrats in North Carolina reportedly succeed in convincing former Gov. Roy Cooper to run for the Tar Heel State's open U.S. Senate seat. They explain what makes Cooper a tough opponent for the GOP and size up likely Republican candidate and current Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley.

Finally, they wonder what Justice Department officials are hoping to learn from Ghislaine Maxwell today as they interview her about Jeffrey Epstein's repulsive exploitation of girls and other people who were involved. They also address reports that Maxwell is expecting a pardon or commutation for cooperating with the DOJ.

0:04.9	Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.
0:10.6	Three martini's coming up.
0:12.8	Very glad you're with us for the Thursday edition of the three martini lunch.
0:16.9	We're going to be talking about Tulsi Gabbard and Russiagate and Obama and his whole national security team.
0:22.9	A very tough Senate race in North Carolina shaping up for the Republicans to try and hold that seat.
0:28.8	And we'll be taking a look at what I believe is today's scheduled meeting between the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Jolane Maxwell.
0:37.2	We'll see exactly what comes out of that meeting, if anything. But there's certainly a reason Jolaine Maxwell is doing that meeting, as Jim reports in today's morning, Jolton. So we'll see if she gets what she wants out of this. But let's start with yesterday at the White House. This is kind of, I guess, phase two, maybe phase three of the rollout. There was a
0:55.6	document release last week of classified presidential daily briefings, basically pointing out that
1:02.7	the Obama national security team had concocted, essentially, the idea that Trump and Russia
1:08.4	were colluding. Tulsi Gabbard went on Maria
1:11.7	Barteromo show on Sunday and then yesterday she gave a longer statement at the White House.
1:16.9	Here's what she had to say.
1:18.0	There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team
1:23.4	directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false.
1:30.0	They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election
1:35.4	to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true.
1:41.2	It wasn't.
1:42.3	The report that we released today shows in great detail how they carried
1:46.4	this out. They manufactured findings from shoddy sources. They suppressed evidence and credible
1:52.6	intelligence that disproved their false claims. They disobeyed traditional tradecraft intelligence
