Ron Johnson: "Important Witness" Gal Luft Needs Immunity To Tell Story About Biden Family

 Sen. Ron Johnson told FNC Maria Bartiromo that Israeli Professor Gal Luft should be granted some kind of legal protection in order to testify about the Biden family's business deals with Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.

Luft told The New York Post's Miranda Devine: "Over an intensive two-day meeting, I shared my information about the Biden family financial transactions with this [Chinese energy company] CEFC, including specific dollar figures. I also provided the name of Rob Walker, who later became known as Hunter Biden's bagman."

Johnson asked: "I mean, let's face it. What evidence are we going to have to develop before the mainstream media actually pays attention to the corruption of the Bidens?"

SEN. RON JOHNSON (R-WI): Miranda Devine did great work again. She got the video. What's very interesting about Dr. Luft is, he's an energy expert, had a think tank, consulted with people like CIA Director James Woolsey and Robert McFarlane, and he was consulting with CEFC, the same Chinese company connected to the Communist Party there was paying the Bidens millions of dollars.

When he heard that Joe Biden was going to be running for president, that alarmed him, because he knew how compromised Joe Biden would be. So he met with two prosecutors from the Southern District of New York and four FBI agents in Brussels for two days in March of 2019.

What's interesting about those individuals, one of the prosecutors from the Southern District of New York is the same prosecutor that prosecuted Patrick Ho, the money launderer that paid Hunter Biden a million dollars to defend him.

And, in that trial, he prevented the name of Bidens from being brought into court. Also, one of the FBI agents was the same agent then that signed the subpoena from the Hunter Biden laptop. So what Mr. -- Dr Luft has shown is the same financial transactions, the millions of dollars, the $100,000-per-month retainer for Hunter, $65,000 for James Biden paid by CEFC.

He's got a wealth of information. But they never followed up on that meeting. Instead, they arrested him in Cyprus to silence him.

They could have gone to Israel. He resides in Israel. We have extradition treaties. But they instead arrest him in Cyprus.

Now, he's literally fleeing for his life right now. He's on the run. He's an important witness. He needs to be granted immunity to be able to testify and tell his story.

...

We have to keep exposing the truth. We need more whistle-blowers coming forward.

But they have done a really good job of setting up their procedures in the FBI, in the Department of Justice to insulate themselves from scrutiny. I mean, look at the letters that David Weiss sent to Jim Jordan in June 7 -- June 7, June 30, basically giving Jim Jordan the middle finger: You can't investigate us because we have an active investigation.

That's what they always use as an excuse. So they have insulated themselves from scrutiny. It's very difficult. But one indication of the problem we have, in terms of the multiple-tier system of justice here, is, Robert Mueller, in less than two years, spent $32 million on his special counsel investigation on a complete hoax, on a false narrative that the Biden -- that the Obama administration knew was perpetrated by Hillary Clinton as a dirty trick, the Russian collusion with Trump hoax, 32 million bucks.

John Durham, in over three years, only spent $7.7 million and delivered virtually nothing, certainly prevented Senator Grassley and I from investigating the corrupt Russian collusion investigation. Now you have got Jack Smith in a few months has spent $5.5 million. Robert Hur, who's investigating Biden's classified documents, spent $616,000.

So, when you just see the resources and effort put behind targeting Republicans or Donald Trump versus what little resources and how corrupt and unthorough, unthorough, the investigations are against Democrats, it's pretty revealing.

BARTIROMO: Well, that's incredible. Those numbers are speaking for themselves. You're talking about $616,000 spent by Robert Hur to look at the Biden classified documents mess, compared with Jack Smith and $5.5 million ongoing, just in a couple of months.

...

I mean, let's face it. What evidence are we going to have to develop before the mainstream media actually pays attention to the corruption of the Bidens? One of the reasons John Durham wasn't able to get convictions is, I think the jury took a look at the bad actors in those cases were literally the FBI.

And so Michael Sussmann and Igor Danchenko got let off the hook because the juries recognized the people committing probably crimes were the FBI in those jury trials.

So, again, the FBI, the Department of Justice, they have insulated themselves from scrutiny. That's why what we need is, we actually need Democrats to be concerned about this as well.

We need the majority in the Senate, so I can be chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. And we need to hold these people accountable by first exposing the truth, which is difficult to dig up.
