Rep. Massie: ‘Is There Somebody on the Inside That’s Broadcasting Where Trump’s Going to Be?’

A growing number of lawmakers in Congress fear there may be a mole inside the Department of Homeland Security — and that mole is leaking security information about President Trump.

“I don’t have faith in any of these agencies anymore,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) told me.

“95 percent of these people that work there are Democrats,” Massie said of the Secret Service and FBI. “It varies by department, whether it’s FBI or DHS or DOJ. But if you look at their donations, it’s above 90 percent.”

TODD: [00:00:00] I want to go to the Patriot Mobile newsmaker line to bring into the conversation Congressman Thomas Massie from Kentucky. Congressman, good to have you with us today.

MASSIE: [00:00:09] Hey, great to be on, Todd.

TODD: [00:00:11] So Congressman, first, I want to get your reaction to what happened yesterday. I mean, a lot of people are in shock here, but a lot of others have been saying it was only a matter of time before they tried it again.

MASSIE: [00:00:24] They’re right. It’s only a matter of time. And the media is complicit in this. They’re trying to act like the first one didn’t even happen. I mean, he was grazed in the head, the first shot. So I don’t know why they’re not taking it seriously. But I am glad that Governor Ron DeSantis is and that he is doing his own investigation, because I don’t have I don’t have faith in any of these agencies anymore.

TODD: [00:00:50] So, Congressman, here’s here’s what I don’t understand. And I think we have to get to the bottom of this. One question is, how did this gunman know to be where he was at that moment? Because this was, you know, the the plans to play golf were spontaneous. Nobody had any information. So unless somebody was leaking information to the gunman, he must have incredible, you know, luck to be there at that time at that place.

MASSIE: [00:01:21] Well, that’s a that’s a good question. And I wonder if we’ll be able to find out anything from him. I mean, you know, this is a unique opportunity to find out. But who is it? Did somebody leak that? Is there somebody on the inside that’s broadcasting where Trump’s going to be? These are questions. The other thing is, you know, Trump is has been kind to the Secret Service in his response to this. But remember, these are the people who are supposed to protect him. They’re surrounded. They’re around him. They’ve got firearms. It would be hard for him to be critical of them at this moment, but I’m going to be critical of them. Nobody should be able to get this close to take that shot.

TODD: [00:02:04] I’m with you. I just don’t get that. And I mean, I’m glad the Secret Service agent saw the barrels sticking out of the bushes. But again, still a lot of questions. We don’t know what the gunman fire, you know, got off any shots or if all of the shots came from the Secret Service agent. But hopefully we’ll get those answers. Congressman, here’s my take on it. I’m tired of all the closed door meetings up on Capitol Hill. I mean, we heard from Senator Blumenthal last week saying all of us are going to be shocked when we find out what the Secret Service agent did. Why can’t we know that information now or two over two months out from this?

MASSIE: [00:02:41] Well, they love to use this term. Even when we investigate, they say that, this is the subject of an ongoing investigation and it’s our longstanding policy not to comment. Here’s the problem. We fund them. We created these agencies. We can uncreate them. They can give those answers in a press conference. But they shouldn’t be giving those answers to Congress. Yet they do. And we let them get away with it. We are complicit because we turn around and fund them. If we would just withhold the money for one toner cartridge at the FBI or the Secret Service or the DOJ, we could get them to talk. I mean, they’re that sensitive to the funding, yet we won’t even do it ourselves as Republicans. This is the problem. We’re not holding them accountable. And the one tool that we have is the power of the purse. And look, we’re about to do another C.R. or omnibus. We’re going to fund everything at the same levels. And these guys aren’t giving us any answers. So we got to blame ourselves.

TODD: [00:03:35] Real quick, before before we jump to the original topic, we’re going to talk about. Do you have concerns that there may be a mole somewhere in DHS leaking Intel on Trump?

MASSIE: [00:03:49] Yeah, I think, you know, 95% of these people are that work there are Democrats. It varies by department, whether it’s FBI or DHS or DOJ. But if you look at their donations, it’s above 90%. You know, when you get to USDA, it may only be 60 or 80%. We’ve seen this before. I mean, Peter Strzok, they these folks had an agenda. Vindman had an agenda. When they get in their head that they are saving the democracy by by perpetuating these leaks, then they have they have no moral dilemma. They’ll do it. But again, that’s where the media’s complicit. That is where Joe Biden is complicit. And Kamala Harris is complicit when they use words like the stake of our country is riding on this election and saying that democracy is at stake. They’re basically justifying anything against the president in the minds of these radical activists, and many of them are working in these departments.

TODD: [00:04:51] 1,000%, 1,000% accurate there.
