Tucker Carlson

About Butler, I know that Trump shut down the investigation into Butler.

That is a fact.

Dan Bongino told me that when he worked at the FBI.

And Dan Bongino himself was terrified when I spoke to him in December.

It's such a long, boring story, but basically I came into possession, I beg your pardon, of accidentally came into possession of a lot of the social media posts that we were told didn't exist that were posted by Thomas Crooks in the months and years before the shooting.

And I was amazed that the FBI had lied about this.

So I called Kash Patel and I later called Dan Bongino and I says, you know, what is this?

I'm not attacking you.

It was the previous FBI administration that did this.

It was Chris Wray.

But what is this?

And Dan Bongino became hysterical with me on the phone.

I've known Dan a long time for many years and always gotten along with him, you know, whatever his faults say, you know, nice guy, nice, certainly very nice to me.

I never had a problem with Dan ever.

And that problem began when I brought this information to his attention and he, he became a different person.

He was clearly terrified.

I didn't get it at first, but he was, he was hysterical.

And ultimately, after a long series of text exchanges, which I still have, and phone conversations, he said, look, take it up with Trump.

He's the one who shut down the investigation.

And that was, I think, the first or second week of December.
