i mean this is not about lawfare. this is not about criminal complaints.ot about the international court. to be honest with you, kash, i want to bring down the hammer and bring down the hammer on hamas as soon as possible, or it should have been done, i don't know, 10 months ago whatever. you get where i'm going on this? this is, unfortunately, this is about warfare, not about lawfare, kash patel. you've been in this , what do you think? >> i've been on both sides of the equation and you're absolutely right. when you're the department of justice in the united states of america is leading the charge against a terrorist organization overseas that is conducting a world war and executing american hostages and global hostages and costing the lives of thousands of people, you can not have the department of justice issue a pre-textual indictment and criminal complaint to say look at the bad guys, look at what we're doing and to take them on. you're doing nothing. in concert with the department of defense who should have been leading on this front, it's because th

lawfare is back. the left couldn't be more ecstatic. >> this is very tantalizing to think we may actually see amounts to like a minute any trial before the election. >> we do not have to live this way. when i'm president of the united states, we're not going to take it anymore. >> laura: and the left has suddenly gone silent on supreme court justices meddling in politics. i wonder why? >> gives a lot of people hope. >> like obama. >> gives a lot of people hope. >> laura: but, first -- >> we have millions and millions of people pouring into our country, many from prisons and jails and mental institutions and insane asylums. traffickers, human traffickers. women traffickers, sex traffickers. and it's turning out that migrant crime is far worse than any crime that we have ever experienced. if you look at aurora, colorado, they are taking over the place. they took over buildings and this is just the beginning. you haven't seen anything yet. >> well, americans in lower income areas and small town u.s.a. pr

it is lawfare. there is still going to be quite a bit of litigation both in this case as well as the d.c. case between now and the election. more evidence coming out from jack smith, and perhaps we see more sentencing or arguments that go into the immunity order in new york. so i think there will still be more legal stories coming from this and more data points that come out to the electorate, but not the actual conclusions or finality. >> john: thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> sandra: let's bring in fox news legal editor -- bring back, i should say -- kerri urbahn, and chief legal correspondent shannon bream. for anybody just tuning in, we have just gotten word through a letter from the judge in this case that he has decided to delay former president donald trump's new york criminal trial sentencing and his henchmen a case until after election day. it was set for september and it's not going to be november 26, 10:00 a.m. of course that has big implications. wrigh

but in terms of lawfare, i testified in congress, and as someone who was a prosecutor for 27 years, iseen anything like it across the board. it is inventing crimes when there is not a crime. and we call this the hush money trail. we are calling it legal activity case. so i see these things from a systemic point of view. and i think this guy just admitted the obvious. you have prosecutors that are politicians at heart. that are announcing, i will find a way to prosecute this person and they are doing it. and you don't have to be a lawyer to realize there is fundamentally wrong with that, that we are turning the system up side down. the more attention we can give to that the better. the system is broken when you say that you are going to get donald trump at all costs and that's what they are doing. >> greg: yeah. chilling, chilling. all right. we have kind of two topics here. it is a bigger topic, an umbrella topic, if you will. are you sad or happy or chagrinned about hunter? >> i mean -- >> greg: you remembered to breathe. >> well, there is so much else going on.

for the left that means one thing, back to the lawfare drawing board.ge tonya chuck can remember she through the book at the january 6th protesters, she ruled this week that special counsel jack smith can ignore the had 5 page limit for an opening brief in trump's election interference case, instead she says the government can file a monster sized one, i guess 180 pages. the deadline was to file was 5:00 p.m. today and now it's up to judge chutkan to decide how much of it we'll see. how much will be public and when we'll see it. but certainly all signs point to it coming out before election day in a hearing this week chuck can said arguments trump's team has decided to make policy not to influence campaign politics in the two months before election day wasn't part of her job joining us now david schoen former trump impeachment attorney. federalist and fox news contributor. we also have new january 6th news. david, does it sound like they are going to try to, you know, put some of these selective pieces of this document out in the public before people to

it started with the legislative branch, a democrat majority in the house of representatives led by lawfare, jackals with names like pelosi, schiff, raskin hail me, contempt of congress simply for honoring executive privilege and defending the constitution. separation of powers by, refusing to before unlawful kangaroo j six committee, which had only one purpose. you know what was it wasn't to get to the bottom of j six. what was it again to stop donald trump from getting back to the white check that box the legislative branch. okay. okay. now the next thing we do the next jackboot to drop and that's what they are jackboot executive branch democrat democrat crat merrick garland, the attorney general indicted and me for alleged crime that had never been a crime in the history our country. i was the first person ever charged with this first senior white house adviser ever charged. and here's what the irony it thing was the very wrong thing was department of justice for more than years says that if congress comes to calling with a subpoena. yeah. for a senior presidential adviser. my duty. my d

, particularly in the midst of unprecedented lawfare and political weaponization of the u.s. government against donald trump by the biden-harris administration. i've got grave concerns that led me to oppose their partisan nominees and policies considered in this chamber, particularly between now and the election. the biden-harris administration forfeited that courtesy when they decided that they wanted to govern more like a banana republic than the united states of america. now after these two assassination attempts that we've seen so far on donald trump, continued lawfare by democrats at both state and national levels and unacceptable rhetoric from vice president harris who has brought foreign leaders to campaign for her in a key battleground state, it's clear that they've changed their tune. and so i'm not going to change my tune. we have to remember that the president of the united states at any given moment, for constitutional purposes, is the executive branch, is the living embodiment of the executive branch. this is an office that really out to be filled, at least with

david: chairman, there's something even more ominous than the whole lawfare campaign and other thingse doj just released information concerning the letters that the accused assassin down in florida had written out, that some people say could incit ex other assassination attempts. the other letters, and it's not me saying that. this is former attorney general bill barr who as you know is not necessarily a good friend of donald trump, and he wrote, it was rash to put this letter out in the midst of an election during which two attempts on the life of president trump had been made. it served no purpose other than to risk inciting further violence. that is ominous, isn't it? >> it is. i agree completely with bill barr. look, the department of justice has withheld almost everything that we've requested of them information that should be transparent to the american people, but in this case, they released a letter that as you said, had nothing to do with the investigation. all it would do is entice more people to do the same thing that's been done two times already and attempted assassinatio

that that's all it has has, is lawfare against a political enemy on the part of merrick garland. a.onald trump is elected president again, how would he go about fixing things at the department of justice? we haven't even begun to talk about homeland security either. i mean, there's so many of these bureaucracies, but the most important one, i think, is department of justice. how would he be able to the untangle that web there? >> i think he's going to have toking hook at all the political to point -- appointments and ask for their resignation. and if i think they know that, and i think they're preemptively criticizing trump because they know that if they were trump and they had done to themselves what they have done to trump, they would go after themselves. and they're projecting. but if he doesn't do that, he'll never reach deterrence. he's got to say to the nation, these people misused law, i don't like political appointments on my own behalf, but i don't know how the -- to remind them what that what they did was wrong other than to relieve all of these political appointments and

sean: congressman, it's not just free speech which is incredibly important, but it's also the lawfareen used against donald trump, right? the sham conviction in new york city. judge merchan was the the judge in that case, sentencing comes on september 18th. you've done, you've continued the investigation to look at judge merchan's daughter lauren who's a political activist who works in politics for democrats. you sent a letter requesting information. have you received a response to your request for information, and what do you hope to learn? >> well, we sent him two letters and got no response other than, oh, we don't really have any information. and the information that we do have that responds to your request, we don't think you're entitled to that, which is garbage. so we sent him a subpoena last week. we'll see what they do. i hope they will send us the information. there are 9 million reasons why we need -- well, why we think it's appropriate we have this information, because that's what this company, run by judge merchan's daughter, got paid from harris and biden's campaign back

ruling is going to have an impact in the sense that many people i think correctly view new york as lawfare, correctly view this as a political case. any sentencing that merchan would have come down with i think would have not been particularly welcomed by most of the public. it would have reminded them of this campaign against the former president. so in some ways i think the harris campaign is probably celebrating that they won't have that attention on the manhattan case. >> sandra: really something here. just looking for more out of the letter itself, and the implications for the case going forward. jonathan, i'm sure you've had a chance to see it by now, but using the words and phrases like "wanted to avoid the appearance of, however unwarranted," that this had been affected by the election, that is interesting, right? and not like we have heard that from this judge before. >> [laughs] no. i mean, i support -- you know, i was not one of those piling on merchan, that i have to say, after sitting in his courtroom, i was very surprised in what i thought was a one-sided approach to that tri
