@7:30Mark Levin: Have you ever been approached in an unusual way?John Solomon: I'll tell you a story about a letter box which occurred at my home. It's seminal to the Russia story.
Sara and I had just begun working on what we call the NSA abuse story - the unmasking.
We had just gone on television on Sean Hannity that night about this sudden rise in unmaskings and I drove home, when I got to my mailbox in my car there was a blue sedan sitting outside the mailbox and there were two gentleman, clearly intelligence officers from the government.
They never identified their names and they stepped out and said "Mr Solomon we just saw you on the Sean Hannity show and we want to talk to you for a second. We can't tell you because what we know is mostly classified but we will tell you this: If you keep digging you will find out that the United States Intelligence Community was used for a political opposition research project and we are deeply concerned."
I said "Why are you concerned?"
"We need these tools, things like FISA, the NSA to capture bad guys and if we use it for political dirty work we won't have those tools for the next terrorists attack or the next spy shows up in town. We need you to find out what happened."Thats all they told me. It's about 11:30pm at that time we finished the conversation and I ran in and wrote this long email about everything I can remember to Sara to her inbox at about 2 o'clock in the morning. She's still up, she responds right back (laughs). Thats how we got started into really understanding this is much bigger than just an unmasking scandal.
Mark Levin: How long ago was this?
John Solomon: March of 2017
Sara Carter: Yeah March 2017 because we had already been working on this story. I mean we were getting tipped off, saw what was happening to General Flynn.
I remember being approached by lets say federal law enforcement officers, who had told me: "You really need to dig in to what's happened to Lieutenant General Flynn. Apparently there's a lot been going on inside the FBI, look and Andrew McCabe, focus on some of these characters. It was the same this that happened to John.I started focusing in and just taking a step back, saying what's going on. The more I started to investigate little by little we started peeling back what we call the onion, like the layers of the onion. It really felt like that.
So then I think it can't get much worse that this. It can't get much worse that this!
Mark Levin: Was General Flynn set up?
Sara Carter: I absolutely believe that general Flynn was a target from the very beginning.
Mark Levin: Because the Obama generals didn't like him. Is that correct?
John Solomon: There are a lot of powerful constituents in the intelligence community that like the status quo. He was talking about reorganising that I think he had a target on his back and the opportunity struck.
To answer the question if he was set up all you have to do is take James Comey's own comments at that seminar in New York. "We tricked him into being interviewed before he could get lawyers." What a statement to be made by the man who oversaw the FBI.
Sara Carter: They basically destroyed this mans life. There was a purpose for that. Because he had access to everything, this is a man who angered the CIA, that was head of the DIA, he had connections all over this town. He knew where the bodies were buried. He knew about Benghazi, he knew about all the operations and President Obama and his team early on knew they had to get this guy out of the way, and they had to get him out of the way quick.
