  Speaker 2: Mark Simone, Well, the best legal analyst on earth, Greg Jared.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Of course you'll see him on Fox News, and make
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: sure you get his books. They're excellent books, all the
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: way back to witch Hunt, the Russia Hoax, The Trial
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: of the Century is an incredible legal book, the book
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: the Constitution and other patriotic documents. It's going to Amazon.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You can get any of Greg Jarrett's books there. Greg Jarrett,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: how you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Doing, Hey, Mark, good to be fine. Thanks.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, you were telling us about Coomy years ago, twelve
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: years ago, ten years ago, whatever it was. I mean,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: you were onto this guy from the beginning. What do
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you think really happened? Did he just happen to come
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: upon some seashells? Do we believe that? No, it's utterly absurd.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And I think prosecutors have a lot more evidence than
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the public knows, maybe more evidence than coming now, in
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the form of incriminating witnesses and documents. You know that
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: according to the Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who said,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: we have witnesses and documents to put case that should
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: send a chill down the spine of Comy and his lawyers.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: And you know the evidence that they have may blow
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a hole in Comy's preposterous claim that he simply happened
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: upon some beautiful shells on the beach and didn't understand.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, this guy was the head of the FBI.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: The bureau is highly trained and coded messages and subliminal
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: calls for violence, So to suggest that he didn't understand
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: something that everybody else understands is absurd. But you know
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it is a pattern with tell me, he feigns ignorance
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and plays the dummy, the weasel out of his wrongdoing.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He's a master of deceit. He's lied about leaks to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the media, lied about disclosing you know, classified documents, lied
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to the pies of court. He secretly weaponized the FBI
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the Russia hoax while denying it with a stray face.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And when he isn't doing all of that, he claims
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: acute amnesia. You know, testimony before Congress, he said, see
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I don't recall, you know, some two hundred and thirty
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: six times to hear come he tell it. His brain
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is mush. I don't buy it. It's all in act. Now.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: He's a very in real life kind of a weirdo,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: a awkward uncomfortable sort of guy to tell. Yeah, but
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: so why did these decide he's going to go on
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Instagram and be a fun influencer and be the next Kardashian.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Why would a guy like that even think he could
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Well, he's clever and cunning. There's always a reason for it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And you know, there may be something far more nefarious
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: behind the stunt he pulled with the Seashells because read
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the indictment. It demands a forfeiture of assets. Now that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: jumped out at me when I read you the very
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: short indictment. What does that mean forfeiture of assets? Well,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the law says you cannot profit from your own illegal acts.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So you know, I think this refers to his book
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: royalties because it's no coincidence that Komi posted The Seashells
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: online his alleged threat against Trump just five days for
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: his book came out on May twentieth, twenty twenty five.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And you know, the controversy over the post thrust him
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: suddenly back into the spotlight where he had vanished. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: guess what it did. It boosted his book sales and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: thus the forfeiture clause in the indictment by the way
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: that book involves, curiously enough, using the Internet to dispense
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: hateful rhetoric and insight violent Well sounds like Comy followed
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the plot of his own books, doesn't it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Well, he's but he's a pretty wealthy guy anyway, Right
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: he didn't work in the hedge fund world for a while, and.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He's got accumulated wealth and he owns
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a beach house. I think it's out on Emerald Isle
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina, which I think is where you know
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the photograph was taken, So you know, he's not a
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: pauper by any means.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's using us as his attorney, Patrick pat fitzpa
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Is it Fitzpatrick Fitzgerald who was over chitsgerild? Yeah, former prosecutor.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Wasn't he the guy that really went after Scooter Libby
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: and a few other Republicans?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah? And you know they've been longtime friends. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know there's some evidence that his lawyer was also
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: involved in the leaking of information. But look, the legal
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: commentators who have denounced the indictment is frivolous or absurd.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I think they're overlooking several things. This case is in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: a conservative district, The Eastern District of North Carolina, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the eventual trial jury, if it gets to a trial,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: may actually agree with the grand jury that Komy willfully
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: intended to throw in the life of the president. And
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the second count against Kummie actually gives jurors a choice
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: of a lower standard reckless disregard. So that's easier for
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: prosecutors to prove and look in court. The other day,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Comy's lawyers were claiming selective, vindictive prosecution. Well, guess what,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of other people in that very district have
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: been prosecuted successfully for similar threats. Now, the real question
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: will be in a free speech that's his main defense.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: But I would remind people of the Supreme Court long
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: ago rule. But the First Amendment is not a shield
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: for threats against the president.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, this will be an interesting case. This is good news. Hey,
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: let me ask you about the White House correspondence dinner.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: The shooter is agreed to stay in prison and not
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: even fighting for bail anymore. What's going to happen this guy?
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Obviously he'll be convicted from the video the evidence.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean I think he's it's a slam dunk.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: He incriminating himself you know, he wrote a manifesto and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: senator family members laying out what he was about to do,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: kill people, multiple people, and you know he also took
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a photograph of himself heavily armed with knives and guns.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: And then of course he's caught on tape and he
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: at a law enforcement official, secret service and hit him.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So you know he's looking at probably spending the rest
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of his life behind bars. The top count, of course,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is attempt to kill the President of the United States.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That carries a life behind bars.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: You know they always say that about an assess Oh,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: never get out. Well, John Hinckley's walking around. Squeaky from
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: is walking around, Sarah Jane Moore who shot at gerald Ford.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: There's three assass and is walking around as we speak.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Hinckley thing is different because it
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was a you know, mental defense insanity and you know
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he was put away in a mental institution, so that
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that's a different standard. But you know, over time, it
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: depends on the venue. And if you're out in California,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: we're skeeky Squeaky from uh tried to kill the president.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: You know, the liberal court system tends to release people
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: after a few decades.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Now, if this assassin gets the right lawyer, won't they
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: try a mental defense? I mean, obviously what he was
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: trying to do was nuts. They could just plead he
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: was just insane.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I doubt it very much. Look, he was a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: well educated guy with a master's degree. The manifesto indicates,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: you know, no mental delude, usional disorders. It was pretty straightforward.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And you know, I tend to doubt that. You know,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: they'll try a mental capacity defense. You know, it's they
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: really you know, it's going to be a difficult case
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to try to defend. And in the end he may
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: cop a plea.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and what was the plate life in prison? That
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: kind of a plea?
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean it depends on you know, what is
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: put on the table. Could be a stated number of years, decades.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I would imagine the Feds take this stuff pretty seriously,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm not sure they're going to offer him a lot.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I hope you'll write another book, Greg Jarrett,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: after the chance, after that, you've got to do it
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: after the Komi trial is finished and hopefully gets convicted.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: No, well, I think there are going to be other
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: indictments against Komy. Keep an eye on what's happening in
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: four Here is Florida where a grand jury is convened,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and I think in the bullseye there is John Brennan
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and James Comy and a whole bunch of other people.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. And that would be over the laptop
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: letter or something like that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Well, no, it would be over a long running conspiracy
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to defraud the government and violate the constitutional rights of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump with their law fier crusade that lasted the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: better part of a decade.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well you were the first guy to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: sound the all. You were the Paul Revere of this
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: story on Call Mean Company. In fact, if you want
• 10:41
