Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on January 6th should get taxpayer money? I wouldn't be inclined to say so, but I have to see it. I can tell you this, 97 % of those people, you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was, because you had a lot of crooked cops, you had dirty cops. Comey was a dirty cop. Well, there's no evidence that... A guy like Balt was a dirty cop. But there's no evidence that people who... Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, you think Comey was a straight cop? They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI going to the building. Those people walking around, they're looking, oh, isn't this nice? They weren't in there. They were being ushered into the building. There's no evidence of that. You had a bunch of dirty cops. And frankly, what they did was weaponization of our government.
