Resurfaced footage from last year shows Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), a former Navy Seal, sounding off on top FBI official Jill Murphy over the alleged bias within the bureau. Crane accused the agency of targeting Trump while ignoring alleged crimes committed by the Biden family.
Crane began, “I want to make a comment about something that one of my colleagues who just left the room said, you know, he made a reference to the former president of the United States and his family and their known business dealings in China and other places.”
The GOP representative pointed out a key difference between the business dealings of the Trump and Biden families, suggesting that the former owns tangible businesses, such as hotels and resorts, insinuating that their practices are legitimate.
“You know, I found it interesting because one of the biggest differences between the Trump family and their foreign business dealings, and the Biden family and their foreign business dealings, is that the Trump family actually owns businesses. They actually own hotels and resorts,” he said.
Furthermore, Crane claimed that there is irrefutable evidence of crimes being committed by the Biden’s, which the DOJ and FBI have seemingly ignored. He pointed out the apparent double standard to which the Trump family is held, claiming they would have been criminally prosecuted.
“Okay, pretty stark difference from what we’re learning, what many of us knew and now we’re actually learning as the oversight and judiciary committee actually get to bring in witnesses, you know, the sad thing is for everybody in this room, everybody in this room, everybody in this town, everybody in this country, knows that if the FBI and our DOJ had the type of damning information, hard evidence, bank records, etc, on the money laundering that this President his family have been up to the last couple years, and their names were Eric and Don Jr. We wouldn’t even be having this hearing. You know why? They’d be in jail,” he continued.
Crane concluded his commentary by asserting that it is “pretty sad” where Murphy’s allegiances lie. He cited his own experiences in the U.S. military, and despite his intense loyalty to the SEALs, he maintained that his ultimate oath is to the country. Watch Crane’s remarks below:
“That’s that’s pretty sad, man. That really is. And it really shows who your allegiances are to. It really does. And as somebody who served this country myself, and comes, I come from a very proud unit, the SEAL teams, I know that my allegiances are not to NSW Naval Special Warfare. They’re not to a SEAL team. And I am glad. I am so proud that we have men and women who see their oath to this country, and they said, I can’t do it anymore. I’m going to go try and straighten this out so that the organization that I love can maybe, just maybe be turned around, quit being a partisan tool. And actually, protect the American people, which it clearly is not doing right now,” he concluded.
