according to james comey. but that's not all.er hillary clinton and the dnc were katniss labelling payments for that dirty disinformation russian dossier a legal expense. it was funnelled through a law firm that hired an op research firm that hired christopher steele that led to a dirty russian disinformation dossier that resulted in not 1 but 4 separate warrants issued, 3 signed by james comey himself. no criminal charges ever brought. both clinton the dnc they were allowed to settle the matter quietly but the simple find for the fec that said in this case has been allowed to testify no crime was committed. no violation was committed. keep in mind trump was convicted of 34 felonies for allegedly mislabelling a payment to a lawyer as a legal expense. but we can right the ship. you have the power the ultimate verdict lies with you. donald trump can finish what he started in 2016. that's when trump destroyed hillary clinton at the ballot box. today she's still deeply unhappy and bitter. instead of serving as the president of this c

also ahead, the last time i sat down with james comey, he predicted truck could be predicted by the time he accepted the party's nomination. later, running against a convicted candidate should be a lay-up but again, these are not normal times. how is the biden campaign planning to meet this moment? i will talk about it with michael tyler. on thursday evening, a jury of 12 everyday americans delivered a verdict finding the former president guilty on 34 counts and yes, that was historic, no question about it given that nor former president has ever been criminally tried, let alone convicted but it was also important because it confirmed that our legal system has the capacity to hold any american accountable, no matter who they are and file it has proved that the legal system functions as it should it also, over the last few days, expose just how broken the republican party is right now. in the aftermath of donald trump's conviction, the majority of his party wind up behind him and attacking the judicial system and all of its players. take republican house speaker mike johnson, a guy who is

james comey kept records and evidence concurrently at the time and it showed improved trump sought to corrupt prose within the fbi and other things. separate independent reporting sound then president trump asked is on top white house lawyer to get clinton indicted just as he tried to abuse federal powers to punish perceived opponents like jeff bezos of the washington post, the parent company of cnn, and other officials, news organizations, witnesses. these are just some of the people right here. trump called for a probe of former obama official onetime presidential candidate john kerry, saying he should be prosecuted and indicted. trump went from badgering then director comey to be his earlier enforcer to try to turn those same powers against comey after trump ousted him. that same new york times article accorded from reported trump told the white house counsel he wanted to prosecute two of his political adversaries to mcclinton and comey and even took its efforts international. everyone knows the multipronged effort to get a biden investigation he had no hope of having that started

carlin within today, the former fbi director and the author of the new crime thriller westport, james comey and director comey, it's great to have you it's interesting to watch garland's hearing today and how he was pushing back. you've been critical in the past of his ability to communicate quickly with the american people about, about what exactly it is that the department of justice is doing in light of these republican attacks. i wonder how you think he did today? >> i think it was great. it was great to see the attorney general stand up for the integrity of the institution that he leads i let it was great that the fbi put out a very quick statement after trump issued that outrageous lie about the use of deadly force, so-called in the search warrant in mar-a-lago, which was remarkable because we don't often see the fbi put statements out like that. >> yeah. it has to be out there because the lie soaks into the national bloodstream. people believe when a former president says things as crazy as they may be, it's really important for those who know better to speak up quickly before that b

listen to characterization of what james comey said, watch this. >> do you agree it would be difficultut him in actual jail? >> no, they would put him in a double wide near the grass, eat there, shower there, exercise there, be away from general population, but it is doable. >> carley: a double wide in the grass like an animal, what do you think about that? >> joe: i guess we could say this is simply joe biden's piace former president and former fbi director who has written two anti-trump books. they were there to criticize the former president and talk about what happens if they go to jail. speculation about what prison for president trump would look leak, this was not speculation, this was fantasy island. the steel dossier has been debunked and this is what these people want. donald trump, to wen the presidency, behind bars ahead of most important presidential election of our lifetime. given who judge juan merchan here, they may get their wish. this conviction is on lowest level of felony that usually result with small fine and no jail time. democrats know they can't win on issues li

. >> james comey is weighing in following former president donald trump's conviction yesterday in his hush money trial. the former fbi director says he's not surprised trump was found guilty but isn't sure whether the presumptive republican presidential nominee will face any jail time when he's sentenced in july. >> in the ordinary involving a white collar crime like this, you wouldn't see a jail sentence, but a big part of a judge's sentencing decision. focus on the judge's evaluation of whether the defendant is remorseful, whether the defendant is respectful of the system of the rule of law and none of those things are true of this defendant. so i don't know whether i'm not sure i can sit here and tell you jail sentences out of the question. >> the former president is wasting no time trying to control the fallout here this morning. he gave a fiery speech where attacked the judge, the witnesses and the guilty verdict. washington, d.c., correspondent hannah brandt reports. >> it was a rigged trial in an angry tirade at trump tower. former president donald trump repeated his claims of

we're joined now by the former fbi director james comey. he's written a very excellent brand new book entitled westport, a crime novel. thanks very much. a director comey for joining us really a terrific book. i've gone through it. it's a crime novel and you know, your stuff. let's talk a little bit about what get to a little bit where the book later, let's first of all talk about this monumental verdict 34 counts guilty, guilty, guilty. could go on and what's your reaction? >> it's a great demonstration that the rule of law is alive in america you may not lose supporters if he shot someone on fifth avenue or sack the capital, but you will be held accountable. >> and this is what it looks like. >> you heard the various options that the judge has as far as prison time non-prison time, what do you think? >> it seems unlikely, but i've never seen a defendant begging for a jail sentence more than one who's taken a flame thrower to the judge and the jury, it still seems unlikely to me, but donald trump is it is asking for it. i will important is

james comey, the july 2016 press conference. you know, what did she do?e mish she mishandled top secret classified documents on, her servers, and lists a private server she never should have haillicit d infamouy coldly saying no reasonable prosecutor whatever prosecute. you know, hillary clinton during an election according to call me acco right. but that's not all. after hillary clinton and the dnn anc caught mislabeling payms for that dirty, decent formation, russian dossier is a legal expense. remember, it was funnelee.d through a law firm that hired an opp research firm that hired christophed anr steele, that led to a dirty russian disinformation dossiermation d that resulted in not one but four separate files of warrant, issued, three signed by james comey himselsignedf. minal no criminal charges everchgh brought. both clinton, the dnt. c say they were allowed to settle that matter quietly with a simple finbue for the fecd that said in this case, had they been allowed to testifys c crime was committed. no violation was committed. and keep in mind, tr

one person he keeps referencing, i mean, obviously, we've heard names like yours come up, like james comey. >> i spoke with here last night. he just moments ago tonight in a brand new interview again, referenced hillary clinton, not by name but, but he said wouldn't it be terrible if someone did this to the secretary of state making a clear reference to her and you take that do take that seriously that he would be would actually try to do something like that you'd be crazy not to take it seriously right? >> this is come to dc. it's going to be wild. he says what he's going to do, and his followers listen very closely to the words that he uses, the way he makes these oblique and indirect threats to people or institutions some of his most ardent followers, most extreme followers. we know, are willing to take action on the things they think he's telling them. >> and some of them it's violent action. >> there's 1 million examples already. >> caesar say ritchie, ricky schifflin the list goes on and on. >> the infamous comet ping pong pizza shooter. so yeah, we have to take these things seriousl

wrote the worst repor'e ever seen on any human being other than the report that was written on james comeyector general, actually. he report that was so bad. this one was possibly worse. the southern district, the judge did not let us use it, he said it was hearsay. this is about the man. he got in trouble for a very simple reason. because he was involved with borrowing a lot of money and he did something with the banks. i don't know if he defrauded the banks. in addition to that he gave up three things were he was not guilty. election expert, number one rated in the country would testify. he took a plea on three things. the three things he pled on having to do with the election and having to do essentially a little bit with me, they were not crimes. they were not crimes. nor is paying money under an nd a. we have an nda. they deal, totallyepted. every company has a nondisclosure agreement. the press called it slush fund and all sorts of other things. hush money. it is not hush money. it is called a nondisclosure agreement. most of the people in this room have a nondisclosure agreement wit

hillary clinton had it thrown in after james comey makes a phone call 11 days out or the laptop stuffthis is politics always has issues. in the future it will always have close elections. too close to call. trump did not admit he lost in 2020. i always drag to myself. we have these countries and they are just starting off in democracy. there is always some clown saying it was a fixed election or it was rigged. that's a joke. john mccain, you know, or hillary clinton, said i lost. that's what americans should do. that is what makes the system work. >> that's a good question for you. >> well i think that, i disagree with you. i think that there are very serious issues that a lot of these swing voters who are still undecided are considering as they look at the biden administration's policies and the policies that will continue whether it is joe biden or someone else replaces him. issues like border security or the insanity around the destruction of title 9 and the rejection of boy is a boy and a girl is a girl. they are looking at safety in their communities. education system. the econom

at the same time, hillary clinton was getting hit with a james comey investigation. >> it's arguably -- >> it was a volatile mix. what is clear here, we will never know if trump won because of that, but we will know he is convicted of 34 felony counts that in essence corrupted the election in new york state, a presidential election. in my judgment, that's about as serious a falsification of business records being bumped to a felony as i'm aware of. >> very well said. george grasso, thank you. >>> another trump lawyer gets charged again for trying to steal the 2020 election. remember that one? the ongoing state-level lever to hold the trump game accountable. your business. take full control of your brand with your own custom store. scale faster with tools that let you manage every sale from every channel. and sell more with the best converting checkout on the planet. a lot more. take your business to the next stage when you switch to shopify. >>> it's been nearly 3.5 years since he attempted coup of january 6. there are charges coming in nearly every week it seems against the people i

it was more emails, james comey, it was the spotlight dashes >> who the spotlight was on. >> you usually watch her candidate in the spotlight in the final days of the campaign, but in this case, both candidates would be happy if the spotlight were on the other candidate. specifically on the liability. >> let me ask about the demographics. as i understand, younger, more diverse. >> they don't identify as much with the party. in your previous piece about black voters, i think you have a lot of black voters who were singing, i don't see a reason for me to vote for joe biden. they are sitting in this uncomfortable place where they do not know if they will vote, why they should vote for biden. they are not necessarily over on the trump camp. you can put that into that category. many of these younger voters of color have felt disinclined to be part of the process for a long time. they do not feel like they have a place in our modern politics. they have not been excited and the candidates have not been speaking directly to their issues. >> there are so many different issues the parties want to

will imprison whether it’s true, here’s jane psaki discussing this topic with former fbi director james comeypy, it was he who unearthed this whole case, the steele case, you remember all these fabrications. that trump was recruited in moscow is all coma and komi. so let's listen to their dialogue. do you agree that it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for law enforcement to put donald trump in an actual prison? no, they would just put him in a separate two-person cell somewhere near a fence on the grass. he would eat there, take a shower trained away from other prisoners. obviously this is doable. well, you can lead the country from there. years, nowhere in any document on these charges does it say under what article trump is accused, that is, what he is being tried for, it is unknown why he was sentenced, that he is guilty, what he is guilty of, there are no links to the articles , it seems that this is just some kind of absolutely monstrous diabolical pr campaign in line with the concentration camp, here is one... a very popular american blogger, who is discussing exactly this to

stuart: listen to this, former fbi director james comey said putting trump in jail is doable.u agree it would be difficult for law enforcement institutes to put him in jail? >> no, a double wide out near the fence and grass and he'd eat there and shower and exercise there and be away as don ya perry said from general population but it's obviously doable. stuart: what are the chances that donald trump will actually wind up in a jail cell? >> i hope it's low, but the radical left shows there's no bottom to how creative they can be. the fact it's a possibility of shocking and look what's happened. it is as if the dog finally caught up to the bumper and caught it and left doesn't know what to co. they wanted to convict president trump and 34 felfelonies and most get jail te for felonies and maybe house arrest and maybe ankle bracelet and who knows what they'll do and had show trial and now they're afraid of the consequences because they realize they made a tragic mistake here. the american people are rallying to president trump and the radical left got what they wished for and not

it was more e-mail, it was james comey, it was that spotlight. >> who the spotlight was on.person. usually in a campaign you want your candidate in the spotlight going into the final days of the campaign. in this case, i think both of these candidates would be happy if the spotlight were on the other candidate and specifically on their liability. >> a referendum among the other person, definitely. here is the demographics as i understand it. younger, more diverse. >> they don't identify as much as the party. if you think about in your previous piece about black voters, i think you have a lot of black voters right thousand who are saying, i just don't really see a reason for me to vote for joe biden. right. that they are sitting right now in this sort of just uncomfortable place where they don't know if they're really going to vote, why they should vote for biden. they're not necessarily over on the trump camp. so you can put that then into that category. and many of these younger voters of color have felt disinclined to be part of this process for a long time because they do

cheryl: james comey and gen ann psaki predicting what life could look like behind bars for the formerresident. >> do you think it's possible for the law enforcement institutions to put him in actual jail. >> no, they would put him in a double wide out near the fence, he would eat there, exercise there, he would be away from general population but it's obviously doable. cheryl: jim jordan demanding alvin bragg and the top prosecutor who worked on the hush money case coangelo testify before the weaponization subcommit you the at this for what jordan characterizes as a kangaroo court that led to trump's cr criminal conviction. the jim jordan request can aside, one of the things that the editorial board of the wall street journal points out is that republicans in general even those that don't like president trump, that didn't support him, think of mitt romney, think of mcconnell, think of collins, they don't like it because they said it was overreach of justice. so that's one side of this. the other side is the donations and the money that the trump campaign got. it seems like voters appa

he didn't want to go after james comey and all those people who lied in front of congress.ed to do the right thing. so spare me this fantasy world that they are pushing that he is going to be a dictator. >> jesse: how dangerous is it, harold, for the media to accuse the republican nominee of being a dictator? >> harold: look, i don't like when all this stuff is thrown around loosely by either side. i do think that because elections are choices, and because candidates have to campaign and say what they will do or not do, i think it's fair to take people at their word. this isn't meant to be destructive or debilitating. president trump still has not accepted that he lost the 2020 race. he calls the january 6th people who have been convicted, he calls them hostages. he has said in speeches, i don't know if he will do it or not, but he said he and speech as he said he would pardon many if not all of them. i don't know if he will do those things, jesse, you know him better than i do, the judge certainly knows him better than i do but i think voters are going to process this and

and hillary clinton had to throw it in after james comey makes his phone call, love dove and days out, or the laptop stuff. this is politics always has issues in the future. it will always have close elections. you can't say it's too close to call trump did not admit he lost in 2020. that's my main and all around the world, i was a peace corps out there. i always bragged myself, i'd say no, we got these countries like zimbabwe and they're just starting off with democracy. but there's always some clown who says it was a fixed election, or it was rigged. that's a joke. in our country. there's always somebody who won election night, whether it was adly stevenson or somebody would come forward and say, john mccain or hillary clinton the next morning. and she sat at the hotel pennsylvania. i lost. yeah, that's what americans should do. you have to say. i lost. well, that's just, that's what takes the system work that's a good question i just agree with you. >> i think that there are very serious issues that a lot of these swing voters who are still undecided are considering as they look at

clinton -- [ cheers and applause ] >> president trump on twitter today suggested fired fbi director james comeyhould be sent to jail. >> these people should be indicted. that includes obama and it includes biden. >> lock up the bidens. lock up hillary. >> so, crooked hillary -- wait. crooked -- you should lock her up, i'll tell you. >> trump was the first major candidate in the modern era to publicly admit he wanted to prosecute his opponents because they were his opponents. another way of saying that is, to abuse power to prosecute the innocent because you think it will help you. that is illegal. it's unconstitutional. you can go to jail for it. even nixon denied that goal in public. those vows were widely rebuked at the time. and remember, in '16 some people underestimated trump because they didn't think he would win. at the time we pulled this, republican doj veterans were alarmed. that's from "the wall street journal." "the washington post" warned, it should terrify all of us in october '16 when the polls and experts said trump was down. so, they were going out of their way to say, if you w

. >> former fbi director james comey was on msnbc yesterday.hat he said about any logistical challenges that could arise over putting trump behind bars. >> no. they would put him in a double wide somewhere out near the fence, out in the grass. he would eat there, shower there, exercise there, he'd be away, as dania perry said, from general possible lags, but it's obviously doable. >> mark, do you agree? does judge merchan's history give us any clues as to how he may approach this? >> his history tells us he's very fair. don't forget this is a first-time offender, and it's a class e which is a very low level of felony. many, if not most people who were convicted, do not get a prison sentence. i think judge merchan will be right down the middle, weigh all the factors. i don't think the fact that he was so put to aggravation by mr. trump during the trial is going to influence him. i think he's going to look at the objective criteria that he has to weigh and make a very fair and sound decision. >> thank you all so much for the conversation. happeni

highe himself, james comey. in reality, the so-called expert.s were spreading disinformation. all they knew about the laptop was nothinformatioaboug. wan they only knew they wanted joe biden to win. you think they'd apologize . don't hold your breath. now that the laptop is official evidence at hunter's gun trial.s well, fox news digital reached n inteto theew all 51 intel expers who signed on to the letter and most had no regrets at alld whatsoever. they gotno what they wanted. they helped joe biden get the election in 2020. some even claiming that it was the patrioti.c thing to do.c thn a means to an end. anyway, of course, joe biden b is now president. the evidence of the alleged wrongdoing. on that laptop is shocking. you have rampant drug use, hundreds of thousandsan of dollars seemingly. i can't say for sure spent soliciting, purported tax evasion on millions of dollars in income that needs to be investigatedthat n, refusing tox file tax returns in certain years along with the possibility should be investigated. money laundering. the possibility of fara violations tietie

and so we want james comey prosecuted there is no reason to think that any of those desires would change. and what he is looking for and jonathan swan, charlie savage, and i've written about this is lawyers who will help him get to a yes on various fronts in a second administration, he is talking about eroding the post-watergate norm of justice department independence. and so i don't see any reason why people would not believe him and his allies when they say this? >> can we dig it on this a little bit? because again, to your point i feel like you talked to republicans and the say, well he, said this in the past, so they talked to republicans and say, well, he should be pest about what happened because they don't like the new york case. this is different because of who's going to be around to and the kind of the guardrails that have either been winnowed, diminished, or don't exist anymore if he's in a second for years of office, what authority does he have as president if people say yes to him? >> look, it's the one thing. there are plenty of people who say that he has a right to be upse

trump has done worse than what he has done and i hate when they have on committees, they have like james comey. he shouldn't be on any committee and jim jordan, he did special favorsor the transportation company and they gave him shares in their company. it should be above reproach and you shouldn't be judging other people. and i believe this of jim, and jim jordan because when i am watching him on the committee, comer, he is very aggressive and i believe that of comer. i googled it. host: darlene in louisiana, and in delaware, kathy, republican line, you are next up. caller: good morning. listen, you're giving credit to the jurors and th' done their job and they did it well. however, credit should go to the house for investigating the gun charges, the irs charges, exposing the pollution of the irs, department of justice, and all those involved in trying to avoid any charges at all against hunter biden. and we also have to give credit to the judge that rejected the sweetheart deal that would have let him off of any of those charges. so i think you need to look at where the house did their inve
