He Said YES Our Enemies Want to Destroy U.S Elections, He Fired Everyone Stopping ThemAdded:
Acting Attorney General Todd's Blanche said, "Yes, our enemies want to destroy our elections." Then Senator Kirsten Gillibrand revealed, "Todd just fired everyone stopping them." Watch Todd's answer and reaction afterwards. First of all, do you think that China, Iran, Russia want to do us harm and would undermine our elections?
>> Yes.
Why did you delete the whole department then that is supposed to protect against the undermining of our elections? We So, we we spend a ton of time, a ton of money, a ton of man hours, a ton of resources on that very issue. So, I'm not >> the FBI's foreign influence task force.
That's a task force. That's not That's literally just a group You know what a task force >> no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I was here in 2016. I know what happened. And after that, we did a whole of government approach. Yes.
>> We put experts in it CISA. We put experts in at the FBI, and we put experts in at the Department of Defense.
Together, whole of government approach, they went state by state by state to make sure that our electoral infrastructure was sound. However, your department and this administration has aggressively fired all the people that were put in charge of this. So, they were the people at the FBI in charge of it. So, why have you dismissed those operations?
>> Where that failed, there were no state and local involved. It was all just a bunch of federal people mostly out of Washington, D.C., okay? And the FBI agents were all Washington, D.C. The way they were agents not around the country where we needed them. So, the way that we're addressing it by closing down that task force is by having HSTF set up in every single including in New York City.
Um every single agents, every single state now has a HSTF, and that is one of their main focuses. And it does work with state and local which >> I want a complete report on this because I don't have confidence that you are doing what needs to be done because if all the 300, 400 expert people that were in our previous administrations, multiple administrations, Democrat and Republican administrations, if none of them are good and you're starting over from scratch, that doesn't sound like the recipe for success.
>> say none of them are good. That's not what I said. Well, they've all been dismissed and they've all been fired in all three areas. That's not true. They have not all been dismissed.
>> the people from DOD, we fired the people from CISA, we fired the people at the FBI. They were all dismissed.
>> They were not all dismissed. Many of them are still here.
>> ask for a briefing, look into it and give a report to this committee because I'm telling you, if you agree that our adversaries do not have our goodness in in mind, they don't have our protected elections in mind, I need a laser-like focus on solving this problem.
>> focus. All right. A US Senator just cornered the Attorney General live and the answer was devastating. She asked one simple question, do our enemies want to hurt us? He said, yes. Then she revealed his own administration dismantled the exact team built to stop them. This isn't a debate. This is accountability in real time and the AG had no good answer.
