FBI Cyber Chief: Sir, The FBI cyber program is based of what's codified in title 18 or title 18 section 1030 a code which talks about computer intrusions right using nefarious intent never

Matt: You've talked about passwords. Here I mean Hunter Biden's password on his laptop was hunter O2 he drops it off at a repair store. I'm holding the receipt from max computer repair wherein December 2019 they turned over this laptop to the FBI and what now you're telling me right here is that as the assistant director of FBI cyber you don't know where this is after it was turned over to you three years ago.

FBI Cyber Chief: Yes sir that's an accurate statement

Matt: How are Americans supposed to trust that you can protect us from the next colonial pipeline if it seems that you can't locate a laptop that was given to you three years ago from the first family potentially creating vulnerabilities for our country.

FBI Cyber Chief: Sir as a representative of the FBI, the cyber program is not in the reality of my responsibilities to deal with the questions that you're asking me.

Matt: Has anyone at FBI cyber been asked to make assessments about whether or not the laptop creates a point of vulnerability.

FBI Cyber Chief: Sir we have multiple lines of investigative responsibility in the FBI they're all available in public sources.

I mean I would think that if the President's son who does international business deals referencing the now president with the Chinese with Ukrainians i mean have you assessed whether or not the hundred-pound laptop gives Russia the ability to harm our country.

FBI Cyber Chief: Sir, again we can do this back and forth for the next couple of minutes I don't have any information about the hunter Biden laptop.
