>> i know i said good-bye already. i missed you, so i back again. that's it for us here tonight. tucker will be back on monday. tune in to watch his reaction to this week's insane news at 8:00 p.m. eastern. he will have a lot to say. thanks so much. have a great night. >> sean: welcome this friday night to "hannity." the deep state, the democratic party, the media mob, they're once again teaming up to promote a new conspiracy theory. this time the hysteria might be worse than ever. you have two msnbc fan favorites saying that donald trump should be executed. remember john paul mack isaac? the computer repair man? he turned over hunter biden's laptop to the fbi. according to him he's telling he

was he was threatened by agents to stay quiet. his story is ahead. also, take a look at hunter here. kiowa beach, south carolina enjoying a lavish vacation with his father, foot loose and fancy free. we'll have more on the double standard as relates to justice. first, a text from august 28, 2016. a top fbi later, lisa page distraught. she was terrified at the prospect that donald trump would be elected president. she texted her colleague and lover, peter strzok saying trump's not ever going to become president, right? strzok responded. no, he's not. we'll stop it. a week later, strzok texted i believe the past that you threw out in andy's office that there's no way he gets elected.

i'm afraid we can't take that risk. it's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before your 40. they had an insurance policy. they wanted to stop donald trump from becoming president. there were two main attempts to destroy donald trump. the first was a debunked russia alpha bank trump tower story. that went nowhere. a second one was more sinister. that was hillary clinton and her dirty russian misinformation dossier that she paid for. even john brennan warning obama that the dossier was political op research and not to be trusted. despite claims from the dossier author, christopher steele that the material was unverifiable. regardless of that, the fbi used the dos yeah to obtain fisa

warrant four times to go after one innocent american, carter page, and also as a back door into the trump campaign. later the trump transition team and the trump white house. they also used it as a basis for the mueller witch hunt. so you might be asking yourself, why would august of 2016 be relevant? not withstanding the hard working fbi agents at field offices around the country, the 95 or 96% of good people that protect us from the cartels and drug dealers and human traffickers and the mob and everyone else. since 2016, we have chronicling on this show the upper echelon, the seventh floor of the fbi that has made it their priority to take down donald trump, to stop him at all costs. i've been one of the biggest supporters of law enforcement oh 35 years in radio and 26 years here on the fox news channel.

we chronicled over three years this abuse of power, this corruption. it's created sadly a well-deserved distrust in the fbi and the doj and these institutions, not the rank and file. but those with the most power that are corrupt that did abuse their power and have now done it for nearly seven years. they have waged a political war using all the tools and all the power at their disposal to go after one man, donald trump. last night in a story published by "the washington post," here we go again. sound familiar? we went through seven years of this anonymous sources claiming this week's raid at mar-a-largo has something to do with nuclear weapons. so of course, uh-oh, it's been a bad week for the doj and a bad week for the fbi. because now they have a tip so they can scare every american. no, no, donald trump was going to do something with nuclear weapons from an anonymous

no-name person feeding "the washington post" like they have for all of these years. obviously a trump hater. the same media mob that printed every lie, every disportion, every conspiracy theory that was also a part of the hoax. the same tactics that they have used against donald trump since the day he came down that escalator. we're supposed to believe that nearly two years after trump left the white house, all of a sudden the feds had to go in unannounced by force and search the president's home when they were there in june, they were welcomed with open arms. a matter of imminent national security they claim 19 months later? according to newly release according documents, the raid had something to do with the violation of a broad rarely used espionage act of 1917? more specifically, 18 u.s. 793, losing defense information along with 18 usc 2071, which is

concealment, removal or mutilation of records, 18 u.s.c 15-19, falsification of records and federal investigations. more on this with professor dershowitz in a moment. federal agents took approximately 20 boxes of papers and photos and notes about roger stone, the president of fans. no mention of nuclear weapons. if it's not there, i'm sure they'll find it in one of their own desks. the former president did not oppose the release of the property release or the fbi's warrant on truth social. just the opposite. he said release the documents now. he continued "not only will i not oppose the release of documents related to the un-american, unwarranted, unnecessary raid and break-in of my home in palm beach, florida, i'm go ago step further by

encouraging the immediate release of these documents. donald trump has nothing to hide because they did nothing wrong. he's materials were seized by the feds where they from trump's time in the white house, packed up by government staffers and delivered to his office. no different than any other president before him, obama, bush, clinton all took documents. clinton took furniture and other things. all presidents, they all have the power to declassify anything they want to declassify. still president trump's office has been cooperating with the national archives for many months. according to a statement from them and the archives in february "throughout the course of the last year that the national archives and record administration obtained the cooperation of trump representatives to locate presidential records that had not been transferred to the national archives at the end of the trump administration. they said in writing that they

were cooperating. "trump's representatives handed over several boxes in february and invited officials to mar-a-largo to review the remaining materials." as a matter of fact, the doj and the fbi were at mar-a-largo in june of this year. they were free to take anything that they wanted to take. they didn't. they didn't need a warrant. they were invited to come back for whatever they might need at any time. trump at their request put up a padlock in the room that was storing the documents. they requested that. so why rate the former president's home? why now? joining us now with a breaking news report, editor in chief of justthenews.com. you have breaking news on classification. this could be key in this. >> listen, i know the president said that he declassified these documents. i've seen the statement. i spent the last week understanding how that happened. first off, it's important to understand the way the

classification is governed is by two executive orders. one in 2003 by president bush, one in 2009 by president obama. says everybody in the government that wants a declassified document have to follow the procedures except the president and the vice president. they may declassify anything for any reason at any moment while they're the incumbent if it assists the role of their job. i'm told that's what governs the decisions that president trump did action he governed how he handled class need documents in the white house. on a daily basis -- >> sean: i don't want to interrupt but one question. is there any specific process that a president must go through? they have the right to declassify anything. is there anything that they must do to prove "that declassification" took place? >> i've talked to archivest, former staff secretaries, librarying for every president. section 3.5 of the executive

order i just mentioned, first by bush and later by obama, says everybody has to follow this procedure except the president and the vice president. each president may have their own orderly way of doing it to keep track of things. the law is clear that the president and vice president have absolute authority. i'll tell you the anecdote that occurred during the bush years. president bush was at the secret level. something came in, the joint chiefs of staff. he said sir, i have to step out. i don't have the classification level. george bush said sit down, you're cleared to hear this. you have tscs for the rest of this meeting. sit down. the president can do that. he can tell something to a foreign leader without going through a review. i had a president tell me this. i told this to a foreign leader. i don't have to go through the classification process. tonight i have been told since february when this dispute came

a lot of people don't understand there was a standing there. what is the standing order? i kept asking. tonight president trump through his official office in mar-a-largo has provided the following statement. i apologize for looking down. it's so fresh, it just came in. this is from president trump's office. just came in a few minutes ago. as we can all relate to, everyone ends up having to bring home their work from time to time. american presidents are no different. president trump in order to prepare the work the next day often took documents including classified documents to the residence. he had a standing order, the word i was looking for, that documents removed from the oval office and taken to the resident were deemed to be declassified the moment he removed them. the power to classify and declassify documents rests solely with the president of the united states. the idea that some paper pushing bureaucrat, the classification authority, delegated by the

president needs to approve the declassification is absurd. i asked around over the last couple days inside the government. they asked about what the president did to declassify. everybody came up with a blank stare. tonight the president is confirming the process that he used in his white house. if he took a document, he said the person responsible home and he took the document in his office and order declared under his executive orders. i'm sure you'll have experts on to talk about this. the president is exempt from the normal waving of declassifying documents. >> sean: you probably spoke with numerous people that were aware of that policy. how many people confirmed that? >> not many in the -- a few people that i have talked to that said i'm not going to dispute that. i can't talk much because of an ongoing investigation. may not have been known by a lot of people. maybe a staff secretary might know.

>> sean: there are people that did confirm it for use? >> they did. it wasn't just the president's statement. i've heard this about -- first in february and didn't mean much to me. now it makes more sense. we'll have to find out who else knew about it. i'm sure the fbi is in the process of doing that. now we have the president's account, not leaked stories from the washington post. we have the president's direct account. we asked the question. how did you declassify them? he answered that tonight. >> sean: john solomon, great reporting. editor in chief, justthenews.com. now author of "the price and principle", alan dershowitz and lindsey halligan. starts with you, lindsey. is everything that alan talked about legitimate? >> yes, the withholding and lack

of transparency is crazy. might be the first step of tyranny. if it wasn't for truth social, twitter might have banned president trump from telling the world what happened monday. seems that they want to silence president trump and cancel his ability to tell the truth. if you look at his track record, he's exposed them spying on his campaign, the corruption of hunter biden's influence pedalling for millions of dollars and three, voter fraud. the invention of ballot drop boxes, which the supreme court just ruled unconstitutional. now he's exposing the overreach of monday's raid on mar-a-largo. we still don't know what exact documents that they took other than some momentos. >> sean: professor dershowitz, let's get your take on this. very specifically, too, along with the classification issue, the espionage act, section cited

in the warrant. >> well, first of all, it is true that these with declassified, the justice department must immediately file an amendment to its request for a search warrant. it must disclose this new information to the judge. unlike what happened over the fisa where they failed to disclose this new information. if in fact these materials were declassified, the search warrant, the application for the search warrant and the affidavit, if it didn't include this information, would have to be voidable at this point. so that is the first key. there's so many other issues here. the espionage act. as a civil libertarian, it was the worth act possible used to go after dissidents, used to go after previous presidential candidates, eugene v.debbs, a socialist. civil libertarians hated this

act. you can't use the espionage act. it was used against ellsberg. people can say now we can get trump. we couldn't get him previously but we can use it against trump and try to disqualify it. we're going to amend the constitution and save the criteria. it goes beyond the constitution. congress can pass a statute saiding if you're convicted under a crime, you can't. if that were true a democratic controlled congress could disqualify a republican like trump for running against re-election. that would be unconstitutional. >> sean: let me focus in on one thing that you're saying here. the espionage act, 18 usc 793 came up with hillary clinton and sandy berger that went into the

national archives, shoved them in his socks and walk out with them and got a slap on the wrist. hillary clinton, even james comey admitted that in fact she had top secret classified information on a server that was hacked by foreign entities, but said yeah, even though we acknowledge the law was broken, no prosecutor would prosecute. now we have what? do we have equal justice or not in this country, professor? >> we have the attorney general saying that equality is the essence of the justice department. but then never explaining why these espionage statutes are used now when they were never used against berger and certainly not against clinton. the question is, do we really have equality or do we have a double standard of justice. seems like garland says we have equality, his actions speak louder than words. going after president trump, who

i voted against, i'm a liberal democrat, not a republican. i want to have the right to vote for him or against him when he runs against. i don't went a bureaucrat making the decision whether he should be allowed to run. so i don't think we have equal justice today and i think every american, right or left, republican or democrat, should be opposed to what's going on now and demand that the standards that were previously used continue to be used and not be any changes because somebody is a republican rather than a democrat. equal protection of the law is central. >> sean: lindsey, last word. i want to ask you in question. when the president called for the release of all documents, is he calling for the release of the affidavit as it relates to professor dershowitz's argument based on john solomon's report, will the president act on that and demand that the attorney general take the action that the professor mentioned?

>> yes. what president trump means by release the documents is release the documents. stop hiding stuff. the attorneys have asked the department of justice over the phone many times can you give us the full and complete inventory of everything that was taken from president trump's house. they refuse to give a full list. what is interesting is the warrant was executed friday. if -- they didn't raid the place until monday. if the documents that president trump had at his property were so top secret, so classified and such a threat to national security, why did they wait two to three days to break in? >> sean: if its about nuclear -- yeah, you think they would have acted sooner. or the fbi and the doj were there and i'm not sure if you were there, but i know others were.

donald trump said you're welcome any time. come back any time you want. is that true? >> that's the last thing that he said to them when they were on his property. he said anything else you need, let us know. the next time they heard from them is when they asked president trump to turn off his video surveillance before they started their search. >> sean: you still have control of that surveillance video? will you be releasing it publicly? >> that is up to president trump. >> sean: okay. thank you, alan, lindsey. thank you. here with more reaction, the author of "america, a redemption story", tim scott. i'd rather talk about your life story. the book is phenomenal. i read it cover to cover and i had the honor of meeting your family. great to have you. first, your reaction to this and then give you a little opportunity to talk about the book. >> sean, this is absurd. think about it.

this has been a witch hunt for six years. think about the steele dossier, the russia collusion. two failed impeachment attempts. and even more. i can't imagine how any one in our country doesn't look at this with eyes of suspicion. there's no question in my mind that this is an overreach at best and frankly asking for a criminal warrant that gives you a space of time between august 5 and august 19? because they're looking for national security sensitive information? there's nothing that comes to the conclusion that you would ever give someone two weeks to go through that process. this is devastating, we're in unchartered waters. it's stunning to our country and this is something that we have to continue to dig into. we have to win the majority to go through the oversight in the majority of this process. >> sean: one thing i found interesting, and i had a chance to meet your family one day.

i don't know if you really want me to talk about it, but it's in your book, that you -- you were failing in your first year of high school. you got four fs. what changed your life around and i want people to read the book so they get the full flavor of it. >> thank you. in my book, "american redemption story", one of the things is how i cover a chick-fil-a operator. he was a christian conservative. he told me about taking individual responsibility. looking in the mirror and blaming myself if i'm not happy with where i am. one thing we don't see today in america is the doj taking responsibility for their actions. the leaks, someone should be fired for those leaks. that's one of the reasons why i think my book is more important today than it's ever been.

we're living in the times of incredible polarization. we can bridge the gap. it requires republicans and democrats that want and equal application of the justice system. not one where your foot is on the scale because you don't like the former president. >> sean: would you ever be a vice president if asked by donald trump? >> that would be an incredible honor. i know the list is long. no doubt about that i have lived an amazing american dream. i'm so thankful to be where i am. i guarantee you this, my shoulder will be to the grind stone when it comes to making sure that we take back not only the majority but the white house. >> sean: you have an important senate race and we're supporting your campaign. your life story is amazing and i people get your story. thanks, sir. straight ahead tonight as we learn more about the mar-a-largo raid, faith in the american justice system continues to

diminish. jonathan turley will join us with reaction and an analysis straight ahead. new astepro allergy. no allergy spray is faster. with the speed of astepro, almost nothing can slow you down. because astepro starts working in 30 minutes, while other allergy sprays take hours. and astepro is the first and only 24-hour steroid free allergy spray. now without a prescription. astepro and go.

>> welcome to fox news live. i'm christina coleman in los angeles. the house cleared the $750 billion measure. it's the single largest investment with climate change and healthcare policy since the affordable care act. republicans are slamming the ball saying it's way to expensive. salman rushdie was seriously injured after being stabbed in an arts and community center

near burr low, new york. according to his agent, the writer is on a ventilator with a damaged liver. rushdie's novel drew death threats from iranian leadership in the 80s. police say his attacker is a 24-year-old man from new jersey. i'm christina coleman. now back to "hannity." >> sean: now also tonight, republicans are rightly demanding answers from the attorney general, merrick garland and fbi director wray about the real motivations for the raid. when the attorney general says that the equal application of our laws is very important to him, is he not telling the truth? the fbi's long history of let's see the russia hoax, three long years, lying to a fisa court, corruption, fisa abuse, talks of an insurance policy against donald trump. the rightly raised serious questions about the doj and their commitment to equal application of our laws and equal justice under the law and sadly, as i have said before, my

faith, i have been on radio 30 years, on tv 26 years with the fox news channel. and one of the staunchest supporters of law enforcement. after three years of lying about trump russia collusion that never happened and the fbi using his opponent's dirty russian miss information dossier and lying to a fisa court four separate times when they knew better, my reverence has been destroyed, especially for the upper echelon. not the rank and file. i make a huge distinction. director wray should have held every one of the bad actors accountable and failed to do so he could have restored the trust in the fbi. he failed to do so. merrick garland, we don't live in a country with equal justice or application of our laws. you've had the hunter biden laptop for two years. why have you not done anything with it? here with more, scholar, constitutional lawyer, fox news

contributor, jonathan turley. let's first start before we get to the warrant itself and the hisry of the fbi and the doj with donald trump, i want to ask you about the president's claim that this has been declassified anyway. your thoughts on that. that's a big development that john solomon brought up tonight. >> it's a major question that has to be addressed if there's any serious discussion of a criminal charge. the inclusion of the espionage act in the warrant was notable because that is the same basis upon which hillary clinton was investigated for her own controversy. what was notable about that is the justice department at that time said that they have never had faith in a gross negligence basis for using that statute. it was on that basis that they said that they declined a charge in the case. so the question here is whether

the fbi believes that it has not gross negligence but an intentional act by the former president. that goes to this defense. now, there's a lot that we have to learn. if he was declassifying material as we've been told in the final days of his administration, there is obviously a ripe opportunity for mistakes to be made by him, by his staff. by others. usually when you declassified a document, the markings are scratched out. there's a line drawn through them so there's physical changes on the face of these documents. whether that occurred and whether actual declassification occurred may be at the heart of this controversy. but that's a very muddled record. because the president has inherent declassification authority. there's relations. but we've never had to litigate that question as to what is

necessary for declassification to be viewed as a legal certainty. whether the president could have had a good faith reason to believe there was declassification, all of that, we'll have to work out if the department of justice goes forward. >> sean: we have the issue of the timeline, the national archives and record administration. their letter of thanks for all of the cooperation of the trump team at mar-a-largo from february of this year. then i think a very important date is june 3. because you had the fbi and doj officials at mar-a-largo, viewing the boxes. they had access to them that day right there apparently later the president came and met with them. they asked that a padlock be put on the storage room where they were being held. that request was complied with. i've had multiple people tell me that hey heard the president say you're welcome back any time, if you need to get anything in the

storage, feel free. we'll accommodate any request. that doesn't sound like somebody trying to hide something, does it? >> that's the reason why from the very beginning that we said we need that affidavit. if they were discussing a lock on a door and improving that security, the question is did they actually ask for secure lon at that time where they refused. what was the basis for their asking for that added security. we don't know. we don't have that affidavit. what i can tell you is that tssci material is highly classified. i worked with it in the past. when you work with it, you're not allowed to bring your phone in to a skiff. security officers are reluctant to make any type of accommodation. so if they believed that there was tssci material in june, it's

rather bizarre that they would wait this whole time before they made a move of this kind. >> sean: jonathan, it's a mystery. you're right. we'll learn more with the affidavit and a lot more in the days to come. thanks for being with us. coming up, the two-tiered system of justice in america. remember john paul mac isaac, the computer repair man at the center of the hunter biden laptop? he said he was threatened by an fbi agent to keep quiet. he will tell us his story straight ahead.

>> sean: we have more evidence of a two-tiered justice system.

the hunter biden laptop repair man said an fbi agent told him to shut up. he told him in december 19, in our experience, nothing happens to people that don't talk about these things. the fbi declined to comment on isaac's claim. what we learned from chuck grassley, there's whistle-blowers in the doj and fbi that are telling him that the bureau is trying to down play negative information about hunter biden and the biden family shady foreign business dealings, the syndicate, if you will. what about joe and hunter? they're enjoying a nice long vacation. kiowa beach, $20 million home. fox news digital were out and captured exclusive photos showing hunter biden soaking up the sun on kiowa idea.

so the question is, when is the fbi -- the attorney general, merrick garland, directeder wray, when are they going to raid biden's vacation home? is it this weekend? we know what's on hunter biden's laptop. a lot of evidence, a lot of different crimes. here with reaction the hunter biden computer repair man john paul mac isaac. hunter is having a good old time at the beach. your life has been, well -- i don't want to say the world ruined. it's been dramatically changed nor the worse. you felt you heed a duty and an obligation based on what you saw on a laptop to turn it over to the fbi. is that a fair statement? >> yeah, i believed in the system. i believed that in the fbi even though the prior january we all witnessed roger stone being

raided at 3:00 a.m. or whenever it happened. the three years prior, the weaponization of the justice department and the fbi going after trump and the russian collusion. so i knew going to the fbi was going to be risky. so i made a copy of the drive. i still believed in the system. if i didn't follow-through, if i didn't try to go to the fbi, i might as wealthy the system doesn't exist and what is the point in the system? >> sean: okay. so here you are. you see something that is questionable in terms of possible law breaking. you never went in to the specifics of what it was that alerted you to that level. you want to tell us now or do you want to keep that quiet still? >> well, i've mentioned that my concerns for national security. the pay for play scheme running out of the vice president's office. whether it's travel schedules, america's policy and procedures towards the ukraine were being openly sent, not to mention the

drugs and the sex trafficking and the human -- the embarrassing things on the laptop that i feared for my safety. the only person outside of the biden family that knew what that family was up to. so i still never feel like it's my responsibility to share with the world the contents of the laptop. it was my responsibility to take criminal activity and criminal evidence and hand it to the authorities or people of authority. i still stand by that. it's not my place to share the contents. there's been quite a few people that have. >> sean: talk about the fbi. and what you believe was a -- is it fair to characterize it as a threat? >> you know, at the time i was just so happy that the fbi was giving me a phone number to call in case of emergency. they were finally getting that stuff out of my shop. so i was over joyed. but i also decided to crack a

joke when they left. i said, don't worry, i'll leave your names out of the book. that's when agent mike told me that, you know, in our experience never ever happens to people that don't talk about these things. so i think through the excitement of just getting everything i wanted, which mainly the laptop out of my shop and some level of protection, i didn't really digest what had been said to me. after they left, i sat down in the back of my shop and the red flags that pops up in the whole ordeal. they weren't supposed to take the equipment. they cloned it and gave my a subpoena. they told me what to do if hunter come looking for it. none of these made since for something in my mind that should be admitted as evidence during the impeachment trial. so when he finally said nothing ever happens to people that don't talk about these things, i was pretty confident that i had made a bad decision by giving this stuff to the fbi.

then a couple hours later, the fbi started calling me asking for tech support. by then at that time i was uncomfortable. i was fearful. i figured i had to cooperate with fbi. that's what happens, people get in trouble when they don't cooperate. by the time the impeachment hearings happened a month later, the impeachment trial happened a month later, i realized the bidens cared more -- the fbi cared more about protecting the bidens than hey cared about getting that laptop to the white house and to the proper -- >> sean: your repair shop had to close down as a result of this. how has that impacted your life? >> well, i don't fix many macs anymore. i'm right now focused on working with congress and working with the american project to hold these people accountable, whether it's in the court of law, assisting congress. i wrote a book documenting my

ordeal. the book has been done almost a year. half the world thought i was a russian agent. nobody was returning my calls to get it published. i want to thank miranda divine for realizing that my story was real and it needed to be heard. she helped me get my book published. >> sean: john paul mac isaac, thanks for being here. wish you the best. people can get your book in book stores everywhere. you won't believe what a former cia director, outrageous, just suggesting should happen to president trump. it will blow your mind next. i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen.

it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. i would say that to me an important aspect is too... meta portal with smart sound. helps reduce your background noise. bring that sense of calm, really... so you come through, loud and clear. meta portal. the smart video calling device that makes work from home work for you.

>> sean: now the mob and the media is using the trump raid to spew more endless smears and slanders against the 45th

president all while hitting new levels of dearrangement. for example, former cia director michael harden and msdnc so-called historians suggesting that donald trump should be executed just like two cold war era spies, the rosenbergs. here with reaction, tammy bruce along with clay travis. that is one way to put it, tammy. let's dispense of innocence until proven guilty. let's get rid of all of those constitutional protections. let's go straight for the execution model. >> right. we saw that, of course, even before kavanaugh. but the democrats are not big fans of due process, are they? that it was guilty until proven innocent literally as some of these said that, some of those democrat senators. let's make something very clear. this is what is so ironic about this. the world was the safest it had

been under donald trump when it came to nuclear war and nuclear agreements. the abraham accords, dealing properly and harshly and strongly with iran, the nature of his relationship with north korea which i -- i wish we were more aggressive with north korea, but then there's this thing called safety and moving people away from wanting to blow other countries up. we had that under donald trump. the one president that got us out of wars, got our troupes out of countries safely and without being an embarrassing debacle involved. that's what donald trump recents. the people embarrassed by his success are determined to somehow still smear him as something that is obscenely fabricated. the good news is, the american people know this and it must be stated you would have thought, sean, that they would have

learned about at least not lying as much as the russian hoax, but this is all they have. they know -- this is what we have to worry about. this is where those minds go. that death is an option. then they accuse everyone else of what they're doing so i think president trump understands this, his family understands this. the american people are getting another lesson. but this, sean, like everything else the democrats have done will fail and they have reached too far and they exposed themselves as the ghoulish frauds they are. >> sean: where do you see this going, clay? >> it's indefensible. i think what this represents, attorney general merrick garland with the way he's pursuing donald trump over these documents is kind of sending us a message that he doesn't have any goods on january 6. that's my thought as we head into the weekend. think about where they've been going after trump.

they were going to get him with collusion with russia. they were going to get him with impeachment one. then impeachment 2. and then the january 6 hearings that they're having over the summer. now they're going to have an argument against declassified versus classified documents? it feels like lucy holding the football and here comes the left wing but check mark brigades running as hard as they can. football gets pulled out of the way. there they're left staring at the sky wondering how donald trump got away from them again. this feels like a really weak charge the be bringing in comparison to january 6 and sedition and conspiracy and all of these things. then you're going to get him on documents that he kept at mar-a-largo for 18 months? doesn't add up to me. if it was so bad, the circumstances, sean, they had three days that they waited to

execute this warrant. it feel like a house of cards. i think merrick garland will lose his job over this before all is said and done. >> sean: he certainly should. you're right. all of a sudden, anonymous sources liking to "the washington post." they had a p.r. week and the american people spoke loudly and proudly out against this. so they had to come up with something big. that fell apart because it was really about nukes. why didn't you go on day one? anyway, great points. good to see you both. have a great weekend. more "hannity" after this. we're a different kind of dentistry. one who believes in doing anything it takes to make dentistry work for your life. so we offer a complete exam and x-rays free to new patients without insurance - everyday. plus, patients get 20% off their treatment plan.

thanks for making this show possible. set your dvr so you never miss and episode of hannity. let not you heart be troubled, "the ingraham angle" is next and i hope you and your family have a great weekend. >> i'm sean duffy in for laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from new york city tonight. take everything. that's what merrick garland signed off on when he personally approve of the search warrant to raid trump's mar-a-largo home last week. the warrant was unsealed today and created more questions. why did the agents need to take everything under the sun. agents can take any government

or
