only reason they are using drugs is because somebody is allowing it. it all boils down to congress. >> hannity: this isn't a fixable problem. we're running out of time. you get to give me final grade. what do i get? >> b-minus. >> hannity: why a b-minus? >> i think you're coming in from a different direction. like at davos. >> hannity: laura is next. thanks for being with us. let not your heart be troubled. **. >> laura: i'm laura, welcome to the "the ingraham angle." we begin with the latest classified story and biden's latest attempt at deflection. >> we found a handful of documents that were fouled in the wrong place. we immediately turned them over to the archives and the justice department. we're going to get this resolved quickly. i think you'll fine everything

is fine. i have no regrets. >> laura: love the reading. something tells me that he doesn't really believe that because tonight we're learning that we could see get answers to one of the most important outstanding questions. who actually had access to those documents? first of all, the white house press corps has thrown out, we've got to give them some credit, the occasional tough question, media, for the most part, has been basically regurgitating white house talking points. why exactly are republicans demanding visitor logs from president biden's private home? they know full well there are no visitor logs. it's never been standard practice. they don't exist. >> the white house yesterday said no such records exist. >> the secret service and the white house counsel's office says look, we don't have those logs. >> laura: not only is the secret service saying no such thing, but the fox news has learned that the secret service is prepared to give congress the names of any visitors, they have

documentation of, to biden's delaware home if they are asked. that's a great start but what about working to get access to the pen center visitor's log as well. why is that important? according to the freebie con, since biden took office in 2021 is, the china has poured millions of dollars into the university that houses his think tank where at least 10 of those classified documents were identified. in case you believe biden's claim of there is no there-there and think that the documents held at the biden penn center were much adu about nothing remember what biden's legal team did at the time. >> the efficiency call that the president's permanent attorneys made on november 2 was not to the f.b.i. that they had found what we now know were top secret documents out in the open. the first call was to officials here at this white house in the west wing. how is that the right thing? >> laura: look at his eye?

h comer has now called for him to release donations to the penn and the biden center in china. a penn spokesperson says that the penn-biden center has never solicited or received any gifts from any chinese or other foreign entity. 100% of the budget for the penn biden center comes from university funds. okay. well, that, of course, doesn't answer the question of whether or not chinese donations to u penn actually ended up being funneled to the biden center. that's a cute little way they tried to avoid it, though, isn't it? joining us now is congressman jim jordan, chairman of the house judiciary committee and member of the oversight committee. congressman what can you tell us tonight about how these two

stories, visitor logs to the biden, at home in delaware, and the penn biden center issue with the chinese donations to the university itself? >> well, i'll start with the latter. so first of all we know that it's been reported that china gave millions of dollars to the university of pennsylvania. it's been reported that china gave millions of dollars to the university of pennsylvania and to the biden center at the university of pennsylvania, and then we know, of course, classified documents were found at the university of pennsylvania biden center, and then we know when joe biden became president of the united states, he made the president of the university of pennsylvania the ambassador to germany. and now the university of pennsylvania says, oh, we don't know anything about donations from china. none of that makes sense. that answer makes no sense. so chairman comer is going to get the records of who gave money to the university of pennsylvania. he's determined to do that and to the former question, he specifically is looking to get the visitor records from the

secret service of who went to joe biden's home, and then also, who had access to the penn biden center at the university of pennsylvania. >> laura: were you surprised, sir, at the white house response on the visitor log question to biden's home? they were so dismissive saying they don't exist. of course, he -- i mean, we all know he has secret service protection for life, and we know that they have a record of everyone who comes in contact with him. so why would they have said that, do you think? >> i think -- everyone is surprised at every response we've continue from the white house. everyone is surprised at how this whole thing has unfolded. i still don't know the answer to why they were looking in the first place. what prompted them to go look at the penn biden center or were they specifically going to look for classified documents that might have been there? i don't know the answer. all kinds of questions we don't know the answer to. this is what we'll be looking at

on the judiciary committee, i think it's interesting how the doj has responded. we've seen all kinds of things inconsistent. why didn't they pick up the documents? there are all kinds of questions but my gut tells me the reason we see these inconsistencies from the department of justice department is because this is the same doj that spied on parents and targeted parents. this is the same department of justice that paid information to sensor it and keep it from the american people. this is the same department of justice that we believe has retaliated against the very whistleblowers from the f.b.i. who have come and talked to us about how political that place has become so i guess we shouldn't be surprised when we've seen what we've now witnessed from the doj relative to the classified documents and joe biden. >> laura: now, one of the arguments being put forth kind of in defense of biden is this. watch. >> this kind of classified spillage happens almost literally every day and most of the time it's completely accidental. most of these cases are dealt

with administratively, internally with a similar conversation with the security officer at the agency in question. >> laura: congressman, do you agree that this is most likely just an administrative error? >> well, it sure doesn't seem like it and if you're not president of the united states or secretary clinton you don't get treated way these individuals have. there have been all kinds of examples where people who are in our national security apparatus, when they do something wrong with classified documents they get severely punished. i don't go along with that but again, that's what they are going to say. what i do know is what the american people see which is this different treatment for biden and president trump, and i always point to the example with secretary clinton because i remember specifically asking this question when we were on the benghazi committee. you got 60 something thousand emails on your personal computer, personal server. we don't need to see the person things. we believe in privacy.

we should protect that but we don't exactly trust you and your lawyers to give us everything that we're entitled to see and more importantly the american people are entitled to see so how about we do it this way. how about we pick neutral third party and thlet them decide. she said, we're not going to do that and she destroyed the emails and compare that to president trump. he didn't get to have his lawyers decide. he didn't even get have neutral third party. they just came to his residence and took it, with helicopters and cnn cameras everywhere. that's what frustrates america so much and that's why we're going to do the investigation that we need to do to make sure this kind of stuff stops. >> laura: congressman, good to see you tonight. thank you. our next guest says the entire saga is part of an inside hit job meant to hobble biden, and basically, end his 2024 aspirations before his campaign even started. here to explain why is florida

congressman matt gates. congressman, now fox is reporting that any decision from biden is not going to come until after he delivers the state of the union. so what do you ultimately expect that decision to be? >> things in washington aren't always what they seem. consider this. it was joe biden's democrat personal lawyer who was rummaging around in his stuff looking for, what, evidence for a crime, that -- committed nine years ago and then he alerts the democratic staff at the white house that does the absolute worst thing you could possibly do. they sat on the information. they should have defused the trump matter and inoculated themselves in the process and the moment this is leaked to cbs you have the democrat-biden department of justice appoint a special counsel and now the big tell is that even joe biden's strongest allies in the congress, like senator coones are saying they approve of the

appointment of a special counsel to criminally investigate the president. maybe the deep state have figured out they would rather roll with gavin newsom and joe biden. the republicans may not even have to help the democrats take out their trash. >> laura: congressman, before president biden answered the question on the classified docs today, he snapped. watch. >> you know, i'll answer the question. but here's the deal. you know, quite frankly, what bugs me is that we have a serious problem here that we're talking about. we're talking about what's going on, and the american people don't quite understand why you don't ask me questions about that. >> laura: now, congressman, first of all, gavin newsom is ominously standing right behind him which is kind of eerie but he seems to be cracking up in front of our eyes, president biden. he's glued to his briefing paper. he seems kind of out of it after he gives a few remarks.

he still seems kind of lost on the stage. >> joe biden is mad and he should be. his own department of justice is now criminally investigating him. his own staff put him in a terrible position by sitting on this information. and his own lawyer was searching around for the evidence of a paperwork crime from almost a decade ago. so i get why joe biden is mad. you could see gavin newsom's thought bubble in the background. he's actually measuring the drapes inside the oval office right now but remember, just because the permanent bureaucratic state picked joe biden over donald trump in 2020 it doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to pick joe biden going forward in 2024. they may realize he's old and breaking apart and they care about power for the left. don't forget that. it's not about joe biden. it's about maintaining power for the political left and they may think that he's a bad bet going forward. >> laura: now, this moment, congressman, from cnn, lens credence to your theory.

watch. >> despite his denial, a review of the lapta data as well as other public material shows that joe biden did -- while serving as vice president though it's unclear what was discussed. >> laura: congressman, quickly, if cnn is turning it over, what's happening, what's going on here? >> i'm old enough to remember when cnned to us that the laptop was russian disinformation, and now all of a sudden they are weaponizing the truth against joe biden. he's looking more and more troubled as a candidate going forward. i don't think it's just a coincidence that this leak went to cbs news right as the cement is starting to harden around joe biden's decision to put together a political team for the upcoming primary. blood is in the water and the democrats are circling the carcass. >> laura: congressman, gets to see you.

we finally have the long-awaited report from the marshal at the u.s. supreme court who was investigating the dobbs leak. well, what were the findings? eight months after politico printed that draft opinion we still don't know who was responsible for leaking it. are we believing any of that? how rigorous was this information? the marshal didn't even subpoena any information. employees provided call and text records, only on a voluntary basis. was it's transferred directly to politico, opinion? we don't know because the system lacked substantial logging and search functions. and the investigation focused on court personnel, temporary, law clerks and permanent employees. in other words, no justices were part of the inquiry. joining us now, molly hemingway, editor and chief at the federalist, and fox news contributor. somebody who knows the court well. molly, i mean, when i was

clerking, the computer system was pretty rudimentary, in 1993 and 1992. but still, you know, you had to log on and log off. i would imagine now the system is pretty sophisticated given the ability to hack. does any of this add up to you? >> well, the time to find out who the leaker was was immediately after the leak. as this report notes, a lot of these people are temporary employees. they might not even be around. it didn't seem like a really serious effort to find out what had happened. and it should have been a serious effort. this leak led to an assassination attempt on a sitting u.s. supreme court justice. it's also led to security problems for all of the justices who voted, who ruled in dobbs. this is such an important issue to get right, and justice -- chief justice roberts did not seem to take it very seriously. it was a very lax investigation. the marshal of the supreme court didn't seem to have the skills

required. an outside firm was consulted, but not anything near the level of what should have happened. if you really wanted to determine conclusively who did this. >> laura: we found out in the reporting, molly, that a few of those interviewed by the marshal's office and the investigation admitted to having told their spouses about the draft opinion which is a no-no. >> a huge no-no. >> laura: you're lectured the moment you walk into that court you cannot tell anyone, spouse, friend, doctor, therapist, anyone, about what happens inside the court. they had to annotate their affidavits to that effect. >> and there are so many clerks who take that very seriously and would never disclose anything. this is why it's almost as much a cultural issue as what are the security systems in play? the security systems that chief justice roberts has in place are not sufficient. but more than that, there needs

to be a personal ethic that these clerks abide by where they take it seriously and you know most clerks do take it very seriously but we did learn here, we also learned that a lot of these clerks lawyered up in the face of this investigation. there were a lot of people working to protect information, and you said that no supreme court justices were interviewed. that's a little bit ambiguous in that it didn't specifically say they weren't, just that they focused on the others. and i do think it's reasonable to assume that justices should have been interviewed and should have discussed what they knew. >> laura: all right, molly, thank you so much. now, the events in davos reveal one really big thing. china kind of represents what the elites crave. power and control. and, oh, yes, domination. my angle explains this in moments. stay there. as someone living with type 2 diabetes, i want to keep it real and talk about some risks. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of

>> laura: the good kind of trouble. that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> now, this year the star of the world economic forum, it wasn't ukrainian president

zalenski. it's a system of government that's the envy of the forum organizers and attendees. we're talking about china's communest party. it delivers what western governments have faltered at. fostering harmony. more predict ability, security, a sense of community, and perhaps most importantly to the globalists, social order. an order requires debate that's extremely limited or preferably no debate at all. now, we see this trend in our own country. think of the lengths that our own government and big tech work to silence all their covid critics. such censorship isn't dissuaded at davos. it's celebrated. more on that in a minute. but one thing that's crystal clear. they believe the anti-globalist voices must be defeated by any

means necessary. their greatest enemy, therefore, other than putin, are conservative populist, especially here in the united states, people like trump and america first voices in the house and senate. they hate them because, of course, those populist still believe in the nation-state and they want essential manufacturing out of china and brought back to the united states. >> we still need to work and trade with china. especially when it comes to this transition. so we need to refocus our approach on de-risking rather than decoupldecoupling. >> laura: de risking, that's not even a word. the ccp isn't interested in fair trade. europe, nevertheless, they are all gung ho on china. consider what's featured on the

website. it's an argue about how four chinese enterprises are taking action on sustainable development. it touts the state-owned agricultural bank which they boast is an active participator in supporting reliable and coordinated esg information disclosure standards. now, i didn't know that the globalists were also comedians. how can a country that simply displaces any corporate c.e.o., that it deems problematic, to be an esg pioneer. remember former c.e.o. jack ma. he gave one speech that was critical of the chinese financial system and he suddenly went missing and now he no longer runs the company he even start. but the elites don't care about any of this as long as they get their ipo's and work in china. as long as they get all of that they are happy. they are fine to listening to murderous dictators lecture us.

>> chinese -- opening up to the world is a must, not an ex-prepared yancey. we much open up wider and make it work better. we oppose nationalism and protectionism. >> laura: okay, when he says make it better. he means more to china's advantage. now, currently china dominates global trade. last year, we approached a $400 billion trade deficit in goods and services with china. that's up from $353 billion in 2021. with hunter biden it's gone back up. when american politicians look out for american workers first, remember, that's to china's disadvantage. this is why they want america to be reigned in. listen for his not so subtle attack on democracy and economic nationalism. >> when -- the right principles and maintain effective international economic order, traditional way of thinking

cannot provide a solution. >> laura: now, the vice premier's words received a warm reception because the globalists are fully on-board. the effective international economic order sounds an awful lot like -- >> going to defend the rules-based international order. >> one of our defining missions is to strengthen the international rules-based order. >> basic principles, basic rights, and a rules-based international order. >> to defend the rule of based international order. >> rules-based global order. it protects peace and prosperity. >> it's only through the preservation of the rules-based international order that we're going to continue to have a peaceful international system. >> laura: but the most exciting thing about the way china runs things is that it doesn't have to deal with that pesky first amendment thing. free speech, open debate. globalists want obedience. they do not want debate.

and with the global system that prohibits what they broadly define as hate speech or disinformation, misinformation, they have total control. just like their friends in china, who are really, really good at dealing with the troublemakers. >> the business model of social media are constructed in such a way that they -- the ideas that are more extreme, that are more controversial. the algorithms need to be redesigned in order not to be based on -- to make profit. >> laura: yes, you heard it right. they think it's evil to disagree with them. about what? like the types of cars you're allowed to drive. type of food you're allowed to eat. no meat. covid shots. even the websites you like to frequent. but these same elites give a

path to the real eve in the ccp. those who pretend to be allies and fighting for a green future and an ultimate bait and switch move, china does it every time. a government that will lie about the origins of covid will say and do anything to gain more power and authority over free people everywhere. so i say, here's to the troublemakers. the good kind. those who resist the collect -- those who call out the meaningless titans. those who reject the money and access dangled by the elites who happily shield for china and that's the angle. join us is arkansas senator tom cotton. senator, there are a number of democrat politicians at davos. you had simena, joe manchin, chris coons was there, some of

your senate colleagues but what is the goal here given how much money the people in attendance do control? >> laura, i think you put it well. they are focused on kind of collectivist system. that's one reason why they celebrate the chinese model to such a great degree. remember, in 2017, they got the vapors over ping's speech in part because they were so repulsed by donald trump. a few years later trump said we're going to stand provided and strong for a sovereign america and we expect other countries to do that for themselves as well. something that's ideological, some of it is financial. a lot of these organizations and their leaders are deeply in bed with the cairns communist, whether it's underwriting businesses there or shipping businesses there, colluding with them to try to establish this kind of new global order that's modeled on the chinese system.

loot of this is just financial but it is ideological as well, that you have the left that wants to have this kind of total control with or without, in many cases, democratic consent. >> laura: well, the chinese vice premier spoke, we played a few sound bites from him on "the angle," he spoke about why the world should be cooperating with them at this point. watch. >> we need a global response to climate change. the covid-19 pandemic has revealed to us a possible connection between climate change and public health crisis. this is an area where effective international cooperation is needed. >> laura: now, senator, they unleashed a virus on us, and they are citing the virus and the pandemic as a reason, i guess that we should all trust them more. the left loves this and democrats apparently have a lot

of respect for this. >> well, look, the chinese communist just like the russian communist in the cold war know how to scratch the itches of the western left wing elite. apparently you can tie climate change to anything including the pandemic that china unleashed on the world and get them cooing toward you. but they do this time and again even though china is the worst polluter in the world and has no plan to bane don its fossil fuel energy sources. again, these people don't care fundamentally about democratic self-government and strong nation states. they care about achieving left wing ideological goals. most of these people read george orwell's 1984 and plato's republic and they didn't take it as cautionary tales about an overpowering state. they took it as a how-to manual and they see a lot of lessons they can draw from the way the chinese government has governed that country. >> laura: senator, can we expect tik tok to be a bipartisan --

banning tik tok, that ends up at biden's desk? do you think that's possible and should that happen? >> absolutely, laura. we've already banned it from federal government devices. a lot of states like mine have banned from it state devices as well but we need to ban tik tok in america simply. we would never during the cold war have allowed russian communists to control a major media outlet in america that was spreading communist propaganda. also, that was specifically designed to target america's youth with the most, kind of repulsive content, that's designed to influence young americans, boys and girls, alike, stuff that the chinese communist would never allow to be on tik tok in their own country. so i hope that we get democratic cooperation to take the next logical step, which is to prohibit this platform that's simply used for chinese propaganda here and around the world. >> laura: one being least

likely, 10 most likely, will it be banned in the united states? >> i'm actually pretty optimistic about this, laura, because the case is so strong. not just the contents but the data privacy side, i would say seven or eight. >> laura: all right. >> i like your odds better than seven or eight. >> laura: senator, thank you. seattle comes to atlanta. a violent autonomous zone has propped up outside the georgia city, and protestors are now taking pot shots at police. the report in moments. plus, ohio senator jd vance on his latest effort with congressman andy biggs to severely curve biden's border betrayal. stay with us.

. >> laura: new figures out today reveal the atlanta's homicide rate is up for the third

straight year. it's partly why they have decided to build a training center outside the city limits and that didn't sit well with any neighboring activists. think seattle in 2020, during the called summer of love. for the latest we go to fox news correspondent kevin. tell us, what's going on there? suburban atlanta's version of chop, in atlanta they are calling it cop city did and just like the autonomous zone in seattle up during the summer is of violence back in 2020, atlanta's top city is becoming more violent by the day but law enforcement in georgia say they are committed to putting a stop to it. however, in response to that, violent antifa protestors are now calling for a night of rage after a raid of cop city left an activist dead and a state trooper injured. georgia state patrols swooped down on the autonomy zone at the site of the future $90 million atlanta public safety training center, in a clearing operation.

it happened on wednesday. that led to the shooting in question, in which a protestor shot at a trooper who then returned fire. >> law enforcement was doing a clearing operation, a legal operation, removing people that legally occupied a property, and someone on the property, as law enforcement came into view, initiated fire on the law enforcement entities and they returned fire in self-defense. >> the deceased protester and the state trooper are not being identified by authorities at this time, but we do know the trooper was taken to a local hospital, and underwent surgery. >> they are illegally occupying property and when we do a clearing operation it's pretty simple. we ask you to leave. you identify yourself. if there are no other criminal behavior, that we observe and you're compliant, then you leave the area. >> get out of there or else,

that's what happens. now protestors claim the trooper was actually the victim of friendly fire. as mentioned they are planning a large demonstration there tomorrow night. we'll keep a very close eye on it but for now, back to you. >> laura: kevin, thank you so much. now, if you think that you understand what illegal immigration has done to america, you probably are missing something. it's one of the most undercovered aspects of the border crisis and my next guest is is here to expose it. vance along with andy biggs writing a letter to secretary malorcus, how granting parole to 30,000 people each month is supposedly going to help the crisis. the "washington times" describes it as a backdoor amnesty to put current illegal immigrants on a

potential legal path. senator, so his idea of fighting illegal aliens coming into the country is fast tracking more immigration into the country? is that it? >> yes, laura, it appears his plan is to pretend there are no illegal aliens and that's how he's going to handle the situation. the basic idea here, laura is they have taken a very narrow program that's allowed them to process certain case-by-case exceptions, and blown it up to 30,000 exceptions per month of america's immigration laws. as you know, laura, the big problem here is not just the people who will directly be granted parole under this program. it's the fact that it's an open invitation to tens of thousands of more on top of them. so you already have a wide open border. you already have the message spread across central america, that america is effectively open for business. we have no border. on top of that, you're telling a large number of people that a lot of them are going to get parole from violating our

immigration laws. there is no legal authority for it but it will make this border crisis even worse. >> laura: yes. so it's another carrot dangled in front of people to come on in. so people should understand the word parole in immigration law is different from a criminal context. it just means you're allowed to come in. now, secretary -- spoke today at the mayor's meeting and he blamed the existing system for all the problems. watch. >> we're executing a comprehensive strategy to secure our borders and build a safely, orderly and humane immigration system. warring within a broken system, in desperate need of legislation reform. >> laura: so, senator, a broken system instead of going to congress, and getting laws passed, which would be amnesty they are doing a backdoor amnesty, are they not? >> that's exactly right, laura.

they know they cannot get 30,000 additional parolees through the immigration laws under congress so they are effectively doing this by themselves without any actual congressional authority. they are using executive action to completely backdoor our immigration laws and get around congress. here's an additional problem, laura. they say the system was already broken. the system is broken because they broke it. they caused the wide open border and now they are causing the very same policies that caused this problem in the first place, they are accelerating them and increasing them. they don't care about border security. it's so clear at this point two years in that they don't care about border security. it's up to us to hold their feet to the fire and make sure the american people know exactly what's going on. >> laura: senator, thank you so much for this and the work on this. all right. coming up, was the legal reasoning behind this alec baldwin, these charges against him, did it make sense? was it sound? my take in moments. stay there. get refunds.com powered by innovation refunds

>> i feel that there is, i feel that -- someone is responsible for what happened, and i can't say who that is but i know it's

not me. >> laura: prosecutors don't agree, and today announced that alec balance win will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographyer hutchins. he faces 18 months in jail and a $5,000 fine but if a firearm enhancement is added to the charge it's a mandatory five years in prison. all told prosecutors say he's facing 6 1/2 years in jail. hutchins was killed after being shot during a rehearsal for movie "rust." baldwin was holding the pistol when it went off but he denies pulling the trigger. prosecutors told fox's own judge jenine pirro -- >> it appears you have information that contradicts this claim, do you? >> yes, we do. we didn'tly believe he pulled the trigger. the f.b.i. lab report confirms that so the trigger was pulled. >> his statement is not correct under any circumstance. >> we don't believe it is.

>> laura: joining me is the founder of the dillon law group and rnc chair. everyone knows my history with alec baldwin going back to 1996. is his negligence here criminal in nature? >> well, laura, i think that what you see here is the difference between the civil standard and the criminal standard. he's making a lot of defenses that might fly anyway civil cart. what the normal procedure and standards are on a normal crew set and who is supposed to be doing what? but in a criminal case i do think under the standards of new mexico law he absolutely is within those two charges, and so, that's a tough spot to be. it doesn't help that he appears to have misrepresented his role in this with respect to pulling the trigger. it was also a very low budget production. a $7 million production, 21 days, very aggressive for a period piece, and there have been a lot of reports from the

film set that it was understaffed. in fact, some of the crew walked off the set the prior day because of that understaffing. and some simple measures could have been taken to make sure that death didn't occur here like visually inspecting the bullets to differentiate dummy rounds from real rounds. live rounds. at the end of the day he's the producer. so he actually does have responsibility, i think, both morally and criminally for what happened on the set. >> laura: here's more of why the da thinks baldwin himself is at fault. watch this. >> mr. baldwin had a duty, at the base level, to never hold a gun and point it at a person while pulling the trigger. but he also had a duty as an actor and a producer on the set to have the bullets checked or to check them himself to make sure that they weren't live. >> laura: she just said this. the affidavit says an assistant director handed the gun to baldwin and shouted it was a cold gun meaning it wasn't loaded that doesn't help his case? >> it might help his case in a

civil case but it doesn't help his case in a criminal case according to new mexico law. there is no sort of reasonable reliance standard when holding a gun. it's not just simply a tragedy or an accident. it is negligence, and so what's interesting here is alec baldwin throughout his career has really demonstrate a contempt for the second amendment and gun owners and if he had had some training in these areas and had taken it more seriously and, like a prop, a real gun, he might have had more respect for the procedures that should have been implemented to make sure this didn't happen. but he pulled the trigger of a gun containing a live round that killed a human being, and so, you know, those are the elements. i think, again, one of the three people involved in this whole chain did plead guilty to negligent, negligent conduct here, and i don't think there has been a sentencing yet, but the other two are being charged.

and so, you know, along the way, you might find that if he had taken responsibility instead of misrepresenting his role according to what prosecutors are saying, you might have seen a different outcome. i don't know that. i wasn't part of the deliberations, but -- >> laura: i just want to say, i don't like prosecutors, i'm glad we got the interview at fox, judge jenine, but i don't like that the press out there are doing press interviews. i have never cared for that. but i love your analysis as always. great to see you. what happened when a california couple decided to test out their dog's new crate? the last bite explains. mom! mom! every day can be extraordinary with rich, creamy, delicious fage total yogurt.
