  Speaker 1: Well, here's the best legal analyst in America, Greg Jarrett. Hey,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you get his books. He's got a lot of great books,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: The Constitution and other patriotic documents, Trial of the Century,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the Riveting Book, and go back and get the earlier
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: books on the FBI, on what was going on there,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: witch hunt and the Russia hoax. And he's with us
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: right now, Greg Jarrett. How you doing, Mark, I'm fine.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Good to be with you.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the Mom Donny rally,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: there was Letitia James screaming I will not bend, I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: will not bow, I will not break. Well, what does
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: all that mean?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Well, you know she is, you know, creating a melodrama
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: for her own benefit. The problem for her is that
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: purely on the paperwork that she executed. You know, it's
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: a pretty serious case against her bank fraud, fault stavens
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: to a financial institution. You cannot claim a house, whether
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it's primary or secondary, as an occupy residents and then
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: obtain a lower, more favorable mortgage rate and then rent
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it out without telling the bank. You're cheating the lender
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: by lying about the financial risk. And documents show that
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: James incriminated herself. Take a look at her mortgage papers
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: or insurance application. In both of those she said she
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: would occupy the house at least partially, but on IRS
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: records she admitted it was cheerly a rental with zero
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: personal occupancy. Well, it can't be both, and it turns
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: out that James never resided there even briefly. Her defense,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: through her attorney is, oh, it's all a terrible misunderstanding.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: It's just a paperwork snaffo. Somebody else's to blame. But
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: under James's own stated standard in the case she brought
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: against Trump, she declared, that's never an excuse.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Under the law, the.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Borrower is always responsible, regardless of what other did. So
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: you know, she's she's hoisted on her own the tarts.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Shakespeare would say, that's.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: A good point. Trump brought that up in his case,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that he didn't fill out any of that stuff and
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: he wasn't the one doing the loan.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Streak, and she said it didn't matter.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So let's get let's get to Komy James comy, Uh,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: what how is he going to fight this case? What
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: will his strategy be in court?
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Well? I wrote a column about this, so you can
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: read it on fox news dot Com. But you know
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: when he was preening like a peacock in front of
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a camera the day the indictment came out, saying let's
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: have a trial. That was just another pretense, another lie
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: by phony Comy.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: It's a con job.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: The last thing he wants is a trial, which is
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: why his lawyers on the day of his plea notify
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the judge that they're going to file motions to dismiss
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: claiming the charges are vindictive and selective retribution by Trump.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And so Comey's strategy obviously is to put Donald Trump
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: on trial to avoid his own trial. Now, typically that's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: an uphill battle for a defendant under the law, for
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: example selective prosecution. Commy has to prove by clear evidence
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that the charges have an unjustified motive. But if they're justified,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it's not a defense. And of course the argument that
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Trump is the terrible villain, poor Jimmy is the innocent
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: victim is nothing more than a farce given Comey's long
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: list of wawless schemes lies to perceptions abuses of power.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, remember Colley's the guy who invented law, there
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: by launching the perverted Russia hoax against Trump, So you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: his hypocrisy and arrogance is quite stunny.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg Terrett, you wrote the best stuff your books
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: about Comy and that seventh floor up there with all
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: his cronies, those dirty guys there. How much has been
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: done to clean that up and clean up the FBI.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Well, Comy created a cancer on the seventh floor, you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: with the whole gang of people Andy McCabe and Peter
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Struck and you know, the whole cast of misfits and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: miscreants that abused the law and they did it for
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: political reasons. And as I say, you know, Comey's the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: one who was the motivating driver behind the Russia hoak.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: So you know Cash Fettel, the new FBI director, Dan
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Bongino deputy director, and they got their work cut out
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: for them. You know, you've got to get rid of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the bad actors. They've done some of that, and you
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: have to dig deep in vaults where Comey squirreled away
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: all kinds of things and try to uncover the truth
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: and hold people accountable. That doesn't necessarily mean that you
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: criminally charge them, but you certainly expose their misfeasans and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: mouth seasons.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Greg Jared, who do you think is next to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: get indict A lot of people think Bolton. The Bolton
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: indictment will come later this week.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Or next Yeah. I mean, look, Bolton's got problems for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: pulling a Hillary Clinton and you know, allegedly maintaining classified
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: evidence at home and in his office, both of which
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: were rated the FBI. You know, you would think people
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: would learn from Hillary Clinton. She got away with her
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: thanks to comy. But you know, David Betraeus did the
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: same sort of thing eventually, you know, pled guilty. You know,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you cannot take top secret classified documents home with you
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: unless you have a skiff at home, you know, a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: secured facility, and most people don't. And you know, Joe
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Biden did the same thing, you know, squirreling away at
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: his home as well as his garage what turned out
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to be classified documents. And of course he escaped any
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: prosecution because his special counsel said he's too old and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: dement to bring charges against him. But it's okay if
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: he runs the United States as president. So you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: this sort of thing happens sadly all too often, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: it jeopardizes national security. But you know, I think Adam Shift.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I think he's in deep trouble for mortgage fraud, same
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: sort of thing. So'll wait and see when the next
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: shoe drops.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Well, now, you're a great legal historian. When did this
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: legal development happen where it's only a crime if Trump
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: does it, it's not a crime if we do it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Where is that legal standard in the law books?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It doesn't exist, you know. I mean the Lawfair campaigns
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: plural against Trump were really pretty shameful. Letitia James bringing
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: a ludicrous case, Alvin Bragg an even more absurd case,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and as I wrote in my column this week, you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden's dirty fingerprints were all over the double indictments
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: brought by special counsel Jack Smith. You know, so, you know,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: lawfair has really reached and apex, not with Trump but
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: with Democrats that we're trying to prevent him from seeking reelection.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: It backfired on them tremendously. I mean, that's really one
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: of the biggest political boomerangs I've ever witnessed. You know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: people saw Trump not as a villain but a victim
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of law fare, and it, you know, helped propel him
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: to a second term.
• 8:28
