i'm jack merrick, i'm full of us here on the news team invalid. thanks to mention the, every jenny is surprising. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police the free time. but still very much alive. your guy to the special recognizes where exactly it was fine. i've learned a lot of our culture history travel extremely worth a visit, the, the auto industry and the welds thirds biggest. com market. india is booming despite many challenges and recent years we'll look at what's next for the sector without correspondence in delhi. and indian graduates moving to germany as the you are getting country tries to view our younger migrants to help fill if labor shortage. welcome to the show. i'm sure bondage in belgium to india is the welds 3rd largest con market. more than 5000000 vehicles were made in the country last year. the city of chan i has emerged as the hub of car making in india. it has been dig named the detroit of asia because auto giants, including bmw, shim di, nissan, titan, motors, and land

so the question is, why did jack smith and merrick garland omit this? t was jack smith. it could have been merrick garland overruling jack smith. none of them are talking about why they omitted the insurrection count. i think a speculation is that they don't want to go to the next stage and infuriate trump's supporters. riots in the streets and all. amy: ralph, isn't some of the criticism or the support for not doing insurrection that he wanted an elegant, very simple series of charges that he could -- especially if he is the first case that goes to court, where donald trump could conceivably been convicted? the fact that he only went after donald trump himself, i mean, this one is donald trump and 18 others will take much longer. what about that, the issue of the elegance and the simplicity of the charges he brought that could make it more realizable in the near future before he could possibly be elected the next president of the united states? >> remember, trump's lawyers are masters of delay. we already have trump the nominee for federal court judge c

larry: it's all just political blarney from jack smith is and merrick garland. free speech is not a criminal offense. you know what, folks? influence peddling and bribery could be. anyway,ing liz macdonald is going to cover the whole show. elizabeth: the whole shebang, larry. we're staying on it, larry. we're picking up on your themes, thank you so much. biden's justice department unleashes an unprecedented three indictments of trump in just four months. former doj prosecutors say the latest looks just as weak and if specious as the manhattan d.a. indictment that stretches the constitution and the law. now, the histrionics and overheated rhetoric do not make up for the weakness of this case. you just have to look at the facts. special counsel smith could not find evidence to charge trump for inciting an insurrection. there was incitement nowhere to to be found in the indictment. through the -- plus, we've got sound of biden saying they would do all they could to stop trump from running again. fox news' griff jenkins live outside the u.s. district court in d.c. w

what jack smith and his boss merrick garland are doing not justar to trump, but to the nation going forward is devastating. now the doj, the whiteho house, everyre member of congressss knows the truth. the rag tag group of maga supporters, they had no meaningful effect on the democratic process on that day, only propagandists can call it an insurrection, donald trump left office on january 20th. the real conspiracy wristsor working toki deprive people of their rights are found at the department of justice, includina news anchors, reporters around pundits across the regime media. i think the sum total of their knowledge about law and history seems to be whatever theye remember from thlye broadway h musical " "hamilton."hing >> george washington left the white house, left the presidenci after two terms, that was thehe plan, the model, so it's about more than donald trump.>> >> george washington teaching him how to say goodbye, johno adams lost and taught everybodyo when you lose, you go quietly, really fundamental question. >> laura: glad she liked the play. not wanting to leave politics appa

it's just unreal what merrick garland and jack smith are doing here.y are leading america into a very, very dangerous place. >> laura: it was easy yesterday well this is ridiculous and throw up your hands. this is typical. the more i thought of it, when i really played it out in my mind 10, 15 years from now, this puts us on a collision course with the real rule of law and the equal application of justice, the principles that really are the bedrock of our country. >> you know, laura, i hope that people will play your monologue today over and over and over again. you hit on the key points. for me, as a criminal and civil rights lawyer for a long time, criminal defense lawyer and civil rights lawyer for a long time and i also do a lot of election voting right and ballot access work. aclu hired me to represent shelby county vs. holder. i take these things very seriously. this indictment is written for public consumption and try to get before a d.c. jury and for political reasons and no other reason. hour dare they criminalize as you say disagreements over

jack smith and merrick garland have one overriding goal, dragging the decrepit joe biden across the finishine in the next election and, yes, by any means necessary. the doj is effectively the biden campaign headquarters at this point. they have nothing else. of course he is not going to run the traditional campaign or really campaign like we have gotten used to serious candidates campaigning. he can barely stay awake during a podcast. if the doj can actually get away with this, then anyone whoever speaks out against the d.c. establishment and does so forcefully, anyone who takes a stand on issues from china to the border, to trade, they are all vulnerable. now, thomas is i joked yesterday that it would help desantis if he got indicted i will tell you tonight if it looked like desantis was close to beating trump, he would be indicted. they can swamp you with legal bills. maybe desantis sending migrants to california. he kidnapped them. i could see that being charged. look, they can harass a poor 54-year-old building manager at mar-a-lago as they did last night or the personal valet of donal

and so, you know, i suspect while we may have great confidence in jack smith, merrick garland was confirmedand his integrity. that's not on the table here. the outcome of which will have a tremendous impact on the opinion of the department of justice and the rule of law on the minds of many in this country. you know, very, very curious about this is going to proceed. . because the outcome can tremendous implications for the country and the department of justice. >> trump's team is criticizing the timing of this. the justice department could have rubber stamped this a year ago if they wanted to, do you see any issue with the timing? >> no, i don't. obviously, the department is sensitive to investigations, public announcement of investigations and prosecutions, during a campaign season. they try to avoid it if possible. sometimes it's not possible. a case of this nature you want to make sure you're going to get it right, if you're going to go after the former president you want to make sure that the evidence is there, that there are credible witnesses, that you'll be able to get the evidence

claim and garland had jack smith indict president trump for the noncrime of a former president having his presidential records, which is allowed by the presidential records act. now merricks jack smith indicting trump for the noncrime of objecting to a presidential election. and it's only a crime to object to presidential elections in third world marxist hell holes. democrats objected to republican wins in 1968, 2,000, 2004, and 2016. and so this case, this current case is before an obama judge and a in d.c. with a 95% democrat d.c. jury pool that's 99% trump deranged. there is no question he will be found guilty and convicted in d.c. and the supreme court will have to overturn this conviction because it clearly violates the first amendment. it's lawless law fare by jack smith and merrick garland. >> brian: mike, this is non-legal phrase. but the case is not done. the indictment is not finished. just like the mar-a-lago case they came in and added five more counts. he kept a lot in his quiver. so at another time can he call another press conference and have additional charges and, again, steal the news cycle. as you look at what has happened on the other side with the pr

remember, jack smith, merrick garland, they didn't exist on a motion for trump in the two federal indictmentsnd d.c.. fani willis did. despite trump very personal attacks on her and her character, willis made it clear that she would make her decisions based on the facts and law. >> i make decisions in this office based on the facts and law. the law is completely nonpartisan, that's how decisions are made in every case. >> second, there is judge tanya chutkan, who is expected to set a trial date for the special counsel election interference case against the former president. chutkan has recently been the subject of racist attacks and death threats. this month, a texas woman was charged with threatening the, saying quote, if he doesn't get elected in 2024, he'd already earned trump's ire, rejecting his bid to keep secret papers apparently his actions and conversations leading up to january the 6th, saying quote, presidents aren't kings, and the plaintiffs aren't presidents. third, there is laetitia james, the first prosecutor to take trump to trial this year on october the 7th in the fraud case

so, looking back on this jack smith, merrick garland, all of us, his prosecution team, the agents involvedck some day and tell their grandkids when democracy merited, when it really counted, we did what we thought was right. i stand for them for doing what the facts and law dictate. >> let me read another pardon of the indictment, given your background if i can, it says the defendant and co-conspirators attempted to use the power and authority of the justice department to conduct sham election crime investigations and to send a letter to the targeted states that falsely claimed that the justice department had identified significant concern that may have impacted the election outcome. i'm sure that's concerning to read. i also wonder the folks you've talked to who have come under attack from many sides of what has happened in the aftermath of january 6, the aftermath of the election, that this isn't in some ways a chance for them to say we did our jobs, we didn't just stand for democracy, but here we are, showing the system works? >> indeed, this is deeply meaningful for all of these people

merrick garland could've done this much earlier? we didn't have to wait this long, we don't have to wait for jack smith? di, we are sending a great message. you attempt a coup, we will get you in two years and 220 days. isn't that deterring? come on! merrick garland should've appointed jack smith in march of 2021, because even donald trump -- two weeks before and was going to run. jack smith has done an amazing job in seven months, i can applaud him enough. i've said before, mehdi, he is the john wick of prosecutors. you can say giannulli died in episode four, he didn't, i he's never going to die. >> don't ruin it for people. they are already making john week five. they are making john wick five. >> just like john wick lives forever, jack smith will live forever in donald trump's head as he sits in a prison cell for his last days. that is my hope. >> we will have to see, we will have to seat. you keep aspiring. ronaldo mayor rt, judge ledarrius cordell, thank you for your time. dean, stick around, i've got more stuff to talk to you about later in the hour. the one thing donald trump will never have to wo

we all shared public doubts about how merrick garland was handling this before he appointed jack smithf how merrick garland has handled this case thus far. >> i think the appointment of jack smith was a breeding stroke. his experience has made it clear that he was ready for this, and he proceeded as fast as he could. i do think that merrick garland did not proceed as fast as he might have. i think what many of us fear, namely that this will drag on, that even if there is a verdict or conviction, for example, there could be an appeal that would last into the ex presidency, and if the next presidency is held either by donald trump or by one of his acolytes or by virtually any republican, there is the horrible prospect that this will all be wiped away, and that it will be relegated to historical footnote. it will never be just a footnote because as your guest correctly said, this is monumental. unlike some of the other monumental cases, like the ones that i neal katyal mentioned, greg scott, brown v. board, not a those were subjected being erased by the results of a political election. wh

so joe biden, merrick garland the doj and prosecutor jack smith just did something knob saw coming.hey endorsed donald trump for president. hell, they might have even elected him outright. how else could you explain an indictment so lame and overtly political that it's guarantied to galvanize every trump voter like funnel cake at a stock car race. there's less meet on this indictment than a you are i can carcass in joy behar's trash can. stelter has a better chance of winning a wet t-shirt contest. don't bother reading it i can summit up for you. donald trump disagreed with the election outcome. oh, you thought there would be more? sorry, these are democrats, they don't have to work hard when the media gives them cover and yes there is a second part, to forget about the hunter and joe show. make news to conceal the real news. yes, the doj and jack smith apparently believe that trump's thought crimes are more insidious than the international racketeering gang known as the biden clan. instead they chase thought crimes and if thought crimes were fromable we would all be screwed. kat wo

we all shared public doubts about how merrick garland was handling this before he appointed jack smithsense of how merrick garland has handled this case thus far. >> i think the appointment of jack smith was a breeding stroke. his experience has made it clear that he was ready for this, and he proceeded as fast as he could. i do think that merrick garland did not proceed as fast as he might have. i think what many of us fear, namely that this will drag on, that even if there is a verdict or conviction, for example, there could be an appeal that would last into the ex presidency, and if the next presidency is held either by donald trump or by one of his acolytes or by virtually any republican, there is the horrible prospect that this will all be wiped away, and that it will be relegated to historical footnote. it will never be just a footnote because as your guest correctly said, this is monumental. unlike some of the other monumental cases, like the ones that i neal katyal mentioned, greg scott, brown v. board, not a those were subjected being erased by the results of a political elect

the iowa for donald trump glare dominant front-runner indictments ludicrous all see that jack smith behest of merrickg laws to target leading front run er interfering in election removing his name off ballot you saw videos of donald trump motorcade through urban atlanta african americans chanting free trump then joe biden going to hawaii embarrassing trip for entire nice sending billions of dollars to ukraine shows up in hawaii, people are booing him there is a groundswell of support a momentum that the corporate immediate donor class don't understand for donald trump. because people want their paychexing to a furthering want gasoline 1.50 again stop seeing our department of justice that should seek justice and accountability but instead seeking to i am prison former president in next cleeks our constitutional republic turning into banana republic all americans see it that is why again donald trump is going to win this next election mark my words, maria. maria: so you think caroline that trump policies are better for young people than biden part times he keeps saying going to forgive everybody's debt

jack smith, merrick garland for appointing him, tim heafy. n this 45-page indictment who jack smith makes a deliberate point of pointing out over and over again weren't just republicans, they weren't just conservatives. they were die hard trump supporters who only drew the line at overturning the results of the election in their state. a line that republican members of congress were not willing to vote. after the insurrection they came back and voted to overturn the results. what does this indictment do to whatever sort of -- i don't even want to call it fragile piece, whatever the dynamics are on the hill. >> yeah, i don't think it changes the dynamics on the hill much at all because, you know, republicans have -- they've become the party of trump, and so they're in such lock step with trump that, you know, he can't lose them no matter what. even mike pence who said -- whose life was in danger by the mob that day has defended trump and said he shouldn't be indicted. so the -- so i don't see that changing much. but you're right that, you know,

televising the trial makes sense but i'm sure merrick garland, jack smith, the entire biden administration oppose that in the same way trying to prevent donald trump in the defense through the protective order to talk about exculpatory information and issues in the case and evidence disclosed in discovery. i think john lauro is right they don't want americans to see the truth. they much prefer a biased media give their version of what happened inside the courtroom which woodside clearly with the prosecution and against trump. stuart: isn't there compromise possible like have the audio portion, don't have it on tv but the audio streaming to whoever wants to hear? >> about of evidence would be visual you can bet videotapes being played, seeing is believing. i don't buy into the argument the audio is good enough. i spent a decade at court tv covering televised trial in state courts. i saw no impact on jurors and witnesses and studies have been conducted that support that there is no good reason not to televised the trial. stuart: gregg jarrett thank you for being with us on short notice. we a

this is the biden administration and merrick garland and jack smith going after political rival and theye it. it stinks of two-tier justice. if this is unamerican, we don't do this in our country thchl happens in third-world countries temperature is wrong for our country. >> laura: congressman, thank you. that's it, follow me on twitter and instagram and don't forget to seat your dvr, never miss us, at 7 p.m., it is america now and forever. and jesse watters takes it all from here. ( i'm not a political operative, not a campaign professional. you set out the vision and you execute on it and if it is not executed, you make the course. >> carley: republican presidential candidate ron desantis, will he become the nominee? >> todd: and vice president kamala harris all smiles when confronted about her job performance. >> you have the lowest approval

merrick garland. and jack smith. they are the criminals. let's look at what hillary clinton did.media hate to do this, because media are frauds. unfreedom of the press, the book on what media have done to this nation, not a free press, this a practice practi pravda, a russian time press. the people who watch the programs, even though they have very small audiences, the big parts of their od audience. as for the judges, judges are flesh and blood. they are humans, some of them are better than others, some of them are radical activists democrats, some are brilliant and objective, unfortunately trump is getting most of the former. tire book on this too. "men in black," what did hillary clinton do, she walks country free, and gaggling all over the place, laughing about these indictments, hillary clinton, should be in prison for her life. over 4500 criminal statutes in u.s. code checki -- that exist today. the ones mostly used, hillary clinton, to convict clinton must be shown she acknowledged that classified e-mails were contained on her private server and most recent tally of state

we've heard it from merrick garland, from jack smith. had a are the exact opposites.n county. they are diametrically opposed to the facts and have undermined the law. it is a stark contrast. there is a larger issue here. with the facts, line by line, what strikes me in this indictment. she goes page by page, line by line, and shows the lie that trump and his cohorts have kept spoon-feeding many americans throughout this period. she goes line by line, date, times, hears what he said about dead voters. here's what he said about people who put their p.o. box down when they registered for votes. she gives the lie in all of those. and if you just read it, you will see, he's been lying for years. >> harry, i want to read you something she said in an interview with the "washington post." quote, the government has only two responsibilities if you live in a democracy. quote, the number one thing that needs to happen in a free society is that you have got to keep people safe. the second thing in a free country is the importance of the right to vote. she has made clear this is n

against the doj following up on my earlier request trying to get to the bottom of what biden a merrick garland tool jackat is transparency to public and they deserve to hear. >> harris: chief correspondent mike emanuel with more, mike. >> hi, harris, entitled to the presumption of innocence and adding "anyone who puts himself over the constitution should never be president of the united states." south carolina senator tim scott said biden department hunts republicans while protecting democrats. "what we see today are two different tracks of justice, one for political opponents and another for the son of the president." three candidates have come out blasting the former president's actions, chris christie, asa hutchinson, wilker and governor christie saying, "the events around the white house from election night forward or a stain on the country's history and a disgrace to the people who participated. this disgrace both the most on donald trump and governor hutchinson says, he is hearing on the campaign trail, "it is time for change." >> he did have many people there that understand we need to have a new

this is the biden administration and his hit man merrick garland and jack smith going after their political rival and they don't like it because it stinks of two-tier justice. this is unamerican. we don't do this in our country. it happens in third world country and it is wrong for our country. >> bill: they believe the archer interview draws a straight line from hunter biden to business dealings and directly to the president. republicans accuse the d.o.j. of trying to keep archer from appearing. on saturday the prosecutor responsible for archer's criminal case wrote a letter asking a judge to set a date for him to report to jail. archer was convicted of defrauding native american tribes. >> so look, president biden is engulfed in a lot of smoke, right? where there is smoke there is fire. it appears that he has lit himself ablaze in an inferno of lies and testimony that points to corruption at the very highest level. >> some gop members are am plea filing their calls for impeachment. andy biggs of arizona was in the room. biggs believe the president is compromised. democrats say no way. >>

. >> without question without any question whatever, the command goes from biden to merrick garland, to jackerybody knows, jack smith has incredibly checkered failed past with republican positive everybody knows that go back to election night midterm election tonight november 2022 joe biden made the statement he would use whatever government power he could muster to prevent donald trump from becoming president he actually said that, that is when he started putting heat on that is where things are coming from, but you know what? the public is not stupid, the public knows mr. trump didn't insight any insurrection they know he has free speech that is protected, he knows, immune as president he knows, by the way, the public knows that he the president is in charge of the documents, by the way, what is the story has anyone seen the special counsel who is supposed to be investigating joe biden's documents who are in wilmington, chinatown washington, d.c., i think guys at casinos monte carlo nobody heard a peep from this guy so political, so weaponized, but but, but the republican house and of jami

to think jack smith would be chosen by merrick garland knowing he had to bring him back to do it is bizarrestrong, unless goal was to keep donald trump in court and off the campaign trail and derail his hopes of getting the nomination and wening the presidency. jack smith has fans at other networks, watch. >> they are sitting across from each other, jack smith competed in over 100 triathlons and was reportedly hit by a truck and 10 weeks later, he ran another triathlon. this is a man of grit and determination and what we have seen in these indictments is just a sliver of what they know in his prosecutorial team knows, right? >> his exercise correlates to his prosecution and strategy. >> steve: you have color about the prosecutor, look at his abs. >> carley: they did this with the subway sandwich, people were saying metaphor for how he was casual and felt confident and he was eating a sandwich. >> steve: there he goes, toward the sandwich shop. the judge said these are conditions of your release. keep in mind, i can throw you, we will throw you in jail if you do the following. you have to sh

so joe biden, merrick garland, r the doj and special prosecutor jack smith just did something nobody coming. for they endorsed donald trump fori. president. how they might have even elected him outright. how else couldhow elseou explai indictment so lame and overtly i political that it's guaranteed to galvanize every trump voter like funnel cake at a stoc k race? there's less meat on this indictment than a turkey carcase's lesshis s. enjoy backyards, trash can. stelter hastelter s a better cht winning a wet t-shirt contest. don't bothershir reading it. i can sum it up for you. donald trump disagreed with the electiondonald t outcome.e wo >> oh, you thought there'd be more? sorry, these are democrats. they don't have to work hard. when the media gives themto cover. and yes, there's this second part to forget about the huntere joe show. make news to conceal the real news. yes, the doj, jack smith apparently believed that trump's thought crimescrimes are insidious than the international racketeering gang knownracketee gan as the bo instead, they chase thought crimes. and if thought crim

in pursuit of biden chief antagonist, ag merrick garland and his hitman jack smith, are doing more damageica than capitol rioters ever could. this anti-trump contagion spread beyond doj on media, it affected his hiians storians who are not supposed to have political bias. behold masquerading as learned histore storian. >> 9/11, 2001, osama bin laden. donald trump tried to destroy our system. to take away our rule of law. >> laura: when he's not busy martha's vineyard, plagiarizing from other authors. listen to this, how do you distinguish her and her comments from those of biden campaign organizers frustrated by trump's appeal. >> figure out when is that going to break? it will take the organization organizing the country so he cannot win that election. if the party will not depart from him, the party has to be defeated. >> laura: hmm. must be my misunderstanding, i thought historians wrote about eventing and leaders, not people calling for political action in the future. of course, only thing worse than today's historians are those who pretend to know history. >> the american revolution

. >> it's the biden administration and merrick garland and jack smith going after a political rye raill. rival. it stinks of two tiered justice. rachel: republican lawmakers arguing there's two tiers of justice in the u.s. as the biden doj filed multiples indictsment against donald trump. we are expecting more indictments in the next week or two. we've been told. our next guests fled authoritarian countries where political opponents are regularly targeted and jailed by the government so what do they sunshine joining us now is venezuelan immigrant, horje and tamina. i have an interview on a podcast with a couple venezuelans who left in time and i asked when did you know that things were really going wrong, that the you know what has hit the fan and they said when the justice system became corrupt and when it started working only for one party and imprisoning others. what a are you seeing? what is your experience? what scares you or worries you about what you're seeing now with president trump? >> well, good morning. rachel: good morning. >> this definitely sets a really dangerous preced

republicans are moving to boot president biden, district attorneys fani willis and alvin bragg and merrick garland and jack because they are holding trump accountable. don't take my word for it, just look at what this georgia state senator told steve bannon. >> we need to be taking action right now. because if we don't, our constituencies are going to be fighting it in the streets. do you want a civil war? i don't want a civil war. i don't want to have to draw my rifle. i want to make this problem go away with my legislative means of doing so. and the first step to getting that done is defunding fani willis of any georgia tax dollars and hopefully representative jordan and representative biggs will follow suit in congress. >> i'm joined now by matthew dowd, msnbc political analyst and attorney at wily rhyme. matthew, it's good to see you. if it was just one state, if it was just wisconsin, it would be one thing, but it's a trend. you can go through it. donald trump, wisconsin, threatening to impeach the democratically elected supreme court judge on trying to remove the elections official. florida, governor

jack smith, mer garland, you know -- merrick garland, you know, all under the supervision or appointmentesident joe biden and right after devon archer gave explosive it'll linking hunter -- testimony linking hunter biden is joe biden. remember, i can't say this enough, this is about joe biden using his position of influence as a senator, vice president, now president but at the time he was vice president to enrich himself and to enrich his family and using hunter, hunter is the guy and he's the bag man that gets on the boards totally unqualified and $83,000 a month for burisma, and now they need to distract the public because we're getting it catered here by president trump and deponent look like real crimes and we changed the law as well. the democrats did last year to make it easier to go after trump and to really violate his first amendment rights. >> i would go to iminocommitting prescribe and money laundering and crimes uncovering this. stuart: he seeps to walk away with the nomination now. >> yeah, the more -- a lot of people have sympathetic and even people that don't necessarily

again, keep in mind, when jack smith was appointed by merrick garland, he was not appointed to prosecute donald trump for any specific crime. he was appointed to look at behavior related to a variety of issues, including the documents held back at mar-a-lago, including the swirl of activity around january 6th. jack smith vowed to do this as quickly as possible, to rundown everything as possible. but as we're seeing, donald trump is throwing up a lot of leads to be investigated. this could go on for a little bit. ultimately, which act smith is going to do is when all the dust settles, he'll indict what he can indict, and what he can't, you will probably delineate in his final report to the attorney general. >> what were the consequences look like? i think back to when donald trump and his family misused funds in the family foundation. do you know what the punishment was? they weren't allowed -- they had to shut down their foundation, none of his immediate family was even allowed to sit on a charity board for a decade. let's say he gets found guilty. the super pac is found guilty of misusi

the same thing as merrick garland and jack smith. jack smith has a history of bringing partisan indictments. he indicted bob mcdonald, the sitting governor of virginia, when he was a credible candidate for president. he got that eviction and that conviction went to the u.s. up in and it got unanimously thrown out but the conviction was all about politics. they want a trial to attack donald trump in september o.r. october of next year right before the election. the other ten people, i'm not going to speculate, the other nine. we'll find out. frankly there were nine people who were unlucky enough to be standing somewhere in or around donald trump. their target is political. this is not the rule of law. this is not enforcing the law fairly. this is because partisan democrats have convinced themselves, look, if you disagree with donald trump, campaign against him. that's called democracy. democrats don't believe in democracy because they're worried the voters don't want four more years of the disaster that is joe biden. so they want to a

alvin bragg, special counsel jack smith or the entire merrick garland doj in itself, we're seeing themoj as a way to target his top political opponent if which is president donald trump. cheryl: before i let you go, i just want to circle back real quick. president biden, should he be hell accountable -- held accountable for not just the chaotic withdrawal of afghanistan, but also for the fact that these families were lied to? what do you want to see happen? is it austin that needs to be pulled in the front to of congress and pushed back on? is it the president himself? what is the -- what would pick these families, give them some peace? >> look, at the end of the day, the buck stops at your commander in chief, the president of the united states. we know that with with the metic and conditions-based -- metric and conditions-based withdrawal that president trump and secretary pompeo had pus put in place, at the very end, get the civilians out first before the military. this is doctrine. this isn't new. they also expressed holding the -- the importance of holding bagram to be able to fly

department, which is controlled by president biden and attorney general merrick garland, his political appointee. special counsel jack, to be clear, he is not an independent counsel. he's a special counsel. so therefore his actions, including these, are all cleared by the justice department. this is unprecedented in american history. we have a situation where a former president being prosecuted by his political opponent by using the machinery of the government, and that should be concerning for every single american. adrian: i am itching to get into this, but i just want to put one more point to you, will hurd, who is another potential republican nominee for those who don't know, he said, "trump is unfit for office. his presidential bid as an attempt to stay out of prison and scare him, his supporters, into paying his legal bills. as republicans, he said we need to prioritize offering solutions to difficult issues affecting all americans if we make the upcoming election about trump, we are giving joe biden another four years in the white house." trump has nothing new to offer voters, does he? guest: he absolutely doe

supporter but he is a constitutionalist, he has respect for the law, something jack smith doesn't seem to have, nor does merrickr does joe biden and nor does the press in this country which is really disturbing to me that they don't realize that if the justice department under this administration can destroy the first amendment for republicans, they can also destroy it for the members of the media so they better watch out and look behind them because they are coming up after them. maria: governor, but, well, you're saying all that. you also say that a the gop should not be rushing into a biden impeachment. they've got 170 suspicious activity reports. they've been able to identify up to $30 million in money, james comer says it's $30 million from different players, 17 million just in a two year period back in 2014 and '15 and you've got whistleblower testimony. how much more evidence do you want that this family has been accepting money from foreign nationals? why wait on impeachment? >> i think the reason you wait is because you need to drill this out until the point comes where even democrats can no longer def

it's the same thing as merrick, garland and jack smith. and by the way, jack smith has a history of bringing partisan indictments. he indicted bob mcdonald, the sitting governor of virginia, when he was a credible candidate for president. he got a conviction, and that conviction went to the u. s. supreme court. and i got unanimously thrown out. but the conviction was all about politics. what they want to do is they want to trial to attack donald trump. they'd like a trial in september, october of next year, right before the election, the other 10 people i'm not going to speculate or the other nine will find out. but frankly, there were nine people who are unlucky enough to be standing somewhere in or around donald trump their target. is political. this is not the rule of law. this is not enforcing the law fairly. this is because partisan democrats have convinced themselves look if you disagree with donald trump campaign against him that's called democracy. but democrats don't believe in democracy because they're worried the voters don't wa

merrick garland. >> i appointed jack smith as special counsel to take on the ongoing investigation.order to underline the department's commitment to accountability and independence. mr. smith and his team of experienced career agents and prosecutors have followed the facts and the law wherever they lead. >> the former president reacting on social media, claiming the case is being brought now to interfere with his presidential campaign. this morning on "today," savannah sitting down with a combative trump defense lawyer, trump lauro. >> the prosecutor says, 60 days. you are not ready in 60. >> how about he had 3 1/2 years. why don't we make it equal? the bottom line is they have 60 federal agents working on this, 60 lawyers, all kinds of government personnel. we get this indictment and they want to go to trial in 90 days. does that sound like justice to you? is that justice? >> the prosecutor is not here -- maybe he is investigating so he is ready to go to trial in 70 days. >> force a former president of the united states to trial in 90 days when you have had three years -- >> you kn

merrick garland. and it's why, by the way, to i'm sure jack smith is going to be asked at some point, you know, did merrick garland asked atd or did merrick garland tell you to do this or not do this? did you talk to the president? he didn't need to. this has been broadcast from day one. and even if biden never, nevero said prosecute him, he's given di speeches where he ha he's talked about how donald trump is a threas peeches t to e country. he's made very clear how he feels about this. and everybody's noa thre >> made w the wishes of the boss. >> greg, when you look at this, just as an average american citizen, you see two trump indictments from the doj. you see no investigation of the d. 10231023 the cushy plea deal. and then you ask, where's robert? her?if you if you don't know his name, i don't don't blame you for that. he's guy looking into the biden docs. jonathan turley said his face belongs on a milk carton at this point. how can you not believe that ther in e is a two tiered justim system? >> oh, there absolutel y is. and the american public knows it, which is why after the indictments, trump's r

and that is why i am sure jack smith will be asked at some point did merrick garland tell you to do thisor not do this? did you talk to the president? he didn't need to. this had been broadcast from da one. and even if biden never said prosecute him, he has given numerous speeches where he talked about how donald trump i a threat to the country. he's made very clear how he feels about this, and in what i now doing the wishes of the b boss. >> ray, when you look at this just as an average american citizen using them to trump indictments from the doj. you see no investigation of sd 1023, the cushy hundred plea deal and then you ask where is robert hur? if you don't know his name, koplan you for that, here's a guy looking joe biden doctor respondus jonathan turley said his name belongs in a milk carton at this point. how can you believe that there is a two-tiered justice system to change. >> mokbrother absolutely is, an the american public knows it, which is why after the indictments trump's ratings go up and the money begins to flow in on donations. but joe biden doesn't have the direct me

today, attorney general merrick garland praised special counsel jack smith's work, saying he and his team launched the largest investigation in the department's history. mr. smith and his team of experienced, principled career agents and prosecutors have followed the facts and the law wherever they lead. so far, the white house has not commented on the case, referring all questions to the department of justice. here is a look at the charges. mr. trump is facing in the indictment. conspiracy to defraud the united states, conspire to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights. former president trump has continued to maintain his innocence, slamming the doj, his campaign releasing a statement that reads in part, these un-american witch hunts will fail and president trump will be reelected to the white house. so he can save our country from the abuse, incompetence and corruption that is running through the veins of our country at levels never seen before, and end quote. well, mr. trump has been ordered to ap

. >> reporter: this is jack smith's second indictment of trump. attorney general merrickarland appointed smith and said smith is acting independently. >> mr. smith and his team are experienced, principled, career agents and prosecutors and they've followed the facts and the law wherever they lead. >> reporter: but trump and his defenders say the prosecution is politically motivated. >> joe biden is running against donald trump and losing currently, and now we have that justice department indicting president trump. >> reporter: trump taking to social media, writing, why didn't they bring this ridiculous case 2 1/2 years ago? they wanted it right in the middle of my campaign. that's why but former vice president mike pence had a different take he said, anybody who puts himself over the constitution should never be president of the united states, a sharp rebuke from a man who was once trump's running mate this is the third time trump has been indicted, twice by the special counsel and once by a d.a. in new york for payments to adult film actress stormy daniels and interferen

so joe biden, merrick garland the doj and prosecutor jack smith just did something knob saw coming.ell, they might have even elected him outright. how else c

jack smith. it had to be someone with that kind of distance. >> in many ways it had to be merrick garland. i remember i was on the transition when joe biden nominated him. one of the things that was appealing about him was that he is allergic to politics. that warranted critiques and frustration at different times. he was playing for history here and was not going to be pressured by public pressure. that may be good for history. we will see. but that is what we are talking about here. if we take a step back from all this paper and the crazy things that make your eyeballs pop out of your head, this has never happened before. a president of the united states has never tried to overturn an election. and what is so striking about this is that it is about two months. it's not about one horrific, day a very horrific day. it is about two months. yes, merrick garland is a little allergic to politics. sometimes a negative, largely positive probably for history. he named jack smith, what is also striking to me is the communications person is the lack of leaking from all. this every time something co

so before merrick garland and special counsel jack smith to be as cautious as possible and try to put all the evidence together they felt would be compelling to show that these federal statutes have been violated, that was something that had to be done with extreme caution. and as carefully as possible because ultimately this investigation will be picked apart. reporters are going to try to put together tiktoks of how it was done. if a republican wins, you can expect that there will be some sort of, you know, attempt to reconstruct this investigation, to see if there are holes, to see if there are moves that were made that were sloppy, not careful or somehow violated somebody's civil liberties. this will be highly scrutinized for years to come. so i don't think it should be a surprise that it did take two and a half years to put together this indictment. >> yeah. and paul, let's go to the indictment. here it is. it is -- i hope people will read it, 45 pages and double spaced for a slow reader like me. the other person who will get criticized is the judge. let's talk about her for just
