mr. al sharpton. >> there's a lot to digest by what was said for the two main counselors for the brown family. benjamin crump and mr. gray there. the balancing act, sunny. this was supposed to be a statement of obvious disappointment but also to try to get this community on the right track. however, very incendiary things said especially by attorney crump. feeding the anger and hostility of this situation is hard to avoid it. >> i'm not sure that it was incendiary. i think that ben crump described what a lot of people are saying, lawyers are saying. when you review the grand jury transcript, it does appear like the process was less than -- wasn't a normal process. people are disappointed with the result. and he is giving, i think, another version of this outcome, of what people think happened here. we heard from mcculloch yesterday. and he sounded very much like someone that was indicting the media, indicting the coverage, indicting michael brown. and i think we're just hearing the flip side. there are two sides to this story. >> absolutely. but when you have a grand jury return no true bill

mr. reverend al sharpton. so he's the king of the shakedowns of businesses.ccuses somebody of racism and then settles and gets paid money so that if he pulls his protesters out -- is that what we're looking forward to? >> also shaken down taxpayers building his salary structure on nonprofit. this is -- glad we're having this discussion. torp cher the data as long and you want and as long, to whatever you want, that's at issue here. loretta lynch has a history of independent thought. curious to see if she follows court cases here? >> liz has her finger on it. the least political appointee in a while and is more likely to follow the court cases. got to tell you something, i don't think lorp retta lynch will be our next attorney general? >> why not? >> they made a critical mistake. simple. put the hearings over into the next congress. republican majority in the senate. nair going to ask her just one question. >> what's that? >> if the president does his executive order on immigration next week, the only question she's going to get asked is, was it constitutional

mr. sharpton -- said in his news conference the role of a prosecutor is to prosecute, not to show both sides. wrong, wrong, reverend alarpton. as i put cases before, i dismissed plenty of cases. i was on the side of the defendant. i said, no, this is not accurate. this person should not be charged with this crime. even though police officers came to me and thought they thought the person should be arrested. you have what's called a quasi-judicial function as a prosecutor. as a defense attorney, this is my client. i defend her at all costs. as a prosecutor, no, you represent the people, and if it's in the best interest of the people for someone who has been arrested or charged, not to be there, then you have an obligation to release that person. >> wow. good discussion here today, and we will be discussing it, i have a feeling, more times in the near future. guys, happy thanksgiving. >> i love your red dress. looks great. >> that's not what you said when you came in. you wanted me to wear orange. >> or brown or something autu autumny, leafy, happy turkey day. >> even though you didn't like red, you still like your oran

al sharpton who appeared frequently in st. louis with the brown family and delivered a speech at his funeral, mr.bama was concerned about ferguson staying on course in terms of pursuing what it was that he knew we were advocating. and he said he hopes we're doing all we can to keep the peace. let's go listen to al sharpton who is an advocate. this is the guy he invited to the white house. >> if you're angry, throw your arms up. if you want justice, throw your arms up. if you want answers, throw your arms up. because that's the sign michael was using in order to establish peace you must have justice for everyone. we want real, we don't want to be told to shut up and suffer in silence. we don't fight until we are tired. we fight until we win. the federal government must step in. >> that's the guy who was invited to the white house? >> you know, putting pressure on grand juries to indict in my view is un-american. a grand jury should be allowed to be fair and impartial. they shouldn't have people yelling and -- what is this the old west in which we're yelling and screaming for people to be killed? >
