Best of Hannity - Defending Trump - July 4th, Hour 1
Best of Hannity: Jason Chaffetz, bestselling author, Former Congressman from Utah and former chairman of the United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform author of the new book, THE PUPPETEERS, The People Who Control The People Who Control America. Chaffetz was one of the people who was able to question Comey about his inability to prosecute Hillary Clinton. His testimony is still as shocking today as it was when he answered Chaffetz, under oath, before Congress. Plus, Joe Tacopina, Trump’s trial lawyer in the E.Jean Carroll case and Alvin Bragg claims and ridiculous indictments, is here to give us the latest on those cases and his opinion on Jack Smith’s efforts to federal indict the 45th President.

It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
So I've I've I played in the last hour and I'm standing by it.
Um the amazing part of the investigation of the House Oversight Committee is is now focused in a very specific question by what the FBI believed was a very credible source of intelligence, and that is a source that they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to.
And uh the allegation is very simple that the Biden family that Joe is vice president took uh specific actions in his role as vice president in exchange for money that went to the family.
In this case, five million to him, five million to Hunter.
Now, do I can I can I verify that?
I can't, except that's what Charles Grassley has said, and we've now played that for you the last couple of days.
I I won't play it for you again.
And in the last hour, I reminded you of Joe Biden bragging at the Council of Foreign Relations that you know I uh I went to Ukraine, I told Ukraine you're not getting the billion dollars.
You're not getting the billion dollars unless you fire that prosecutor.
Uh and uh you got six hours to do it.
You don't believe me?
Call Obama, ask him if I have the authority to do this.
And okay, so what happened?
Prosecutor, son of a bee, Joe says, loves to brag, got fired.
Okay, now the question is, well, well, what happened after that?
Well, Barisma continued to pay zero experience.
Hunter, how do we know he has zero experience?
He said so.
On Good Morning America, do you have any experience in energy?
No.
Oil, gas, coal, no.
Ukraine, no.
So what's Hunter getting all this money for from Ukraine?
What what did they what are they expecting in exchange for this?
Now, my question here is if the allegation of in this 1023 form, and again, this talk of 17 tapes existing uh with a Barisma executive who held on to them for quote insurance purposes, and 15 are of Hunter Biden and this executive, and and two more with the vice president himself.
Okay, let's just assume what is being reported and suspected here by Comer and Grassley is true, and that Joe did perform specific acts.
Tell me what part of him demanding the firing of a prosecutor by leveraging a billion dollars is not in and of itself, so his son can continue to get paid.
Uh some definition, at least where I grew up, of a quid pro quo, or if you want to use a legal term, is that bribery?
Now, we have other tapes.
It goes a step further.
Now, James Comey, uh Jason Chafitz, I believe, was chairing at the time, he's going to join us in a second.
He admitted that Hillary instructed Jake Sullivan to remove classified markings to fax that classified document.
And you know, James Comey testified that ten people had access to Hillary's servers, and they also believe that foreign entities and hostile regimes had access to it, and Hillary's lawyers went through the emails, none of them had any security clearance.
So the question is it's not about whataboutism, it's about equal justice, equal application of our law.
But as we try to now get to the point, you know, did Joe Biden actually do this?
You know, uh during the whole Trump Ukrainian impeachment farce, because it was based on Donald Trump saying to the new president Zelensky, are you gonna be like your predecessors if I give you this money, or are you gonna be good stewards of the American taxpayers' money, which I think was a responsible thing to be requesting and demanding, actually.
Anyway, uh Jason Chaffitz uh joins us right now.
He's the author of the brand new book.
It's in bookstores all around the country, Amazon.com, Hannity.com.
It's called The Puppeteers, the people who control the people who control America.
Uh, sir, welcome back to the program.
Thanks, Sean.
Glad to be with you.
Okay, so you know the tape.
I played it in the last hour.
I played it many times.
Joe Biden bragging, he leveraged one billion taxpayer dollars to get a prosecutor in Ukraine fired.
He gave them six hours to do it.
They ended up doing it because uh even the prosecutor himself said it was because Joe Biden demanded it.
His name uh is Victor Shokan, and uh and Hunter continues to get paid.
Does that sound like bribery to you or am I way off base?
No, it sounds like enriching the the Biden family that that was never disclosed at the time.
Why would the vice president of the United States traveling uh as he was why would he demand this?
Well, what's in the interest of the best interest of the United States of America?
It was the best interest of the Biden family.
That's that's what's coming to light.
That's that's what's fundamentally wrong about it.
But yeah, you're right.
Even without those audio tapes, we hear him talking about this.
But those audio tapes, I've got to tell you I was chairman of the oversight committee.
Senator Grassley is one of the best.
He's the most seasoned, and there's a reason why he went to the floor and actually talked about this.
They're there.
We you know, Joe Biden was given an opportunity to deny or comment on uh these recordings, and he just turned and laughed and smiled.
He could have said no.
But I I it just begs the the question is are they there?
I think they're there.
All right, you mean the 17 tapes you believe are there?
Yeah.
Well, I talked to sources this morning that say they know exactly where they are, and I'm I'm I've got to believe that James Comer is in making every effort imaginable to get to get the copies of those tapes.
But when a vice president demands the firing of a prosecutor who we later learned was investigating his son and the company that was paying him a fortune, even though he admits he has no experience, uh it it sounds like the very definition of it.
Now, during the Ukrainian impeachment of Donald Trump, nobody seemed to care as I played this over and over and over again.
I'm like, guys, what about this quote quid pro quo?
Nobody in the media cared, no Democrat cared, and you know, all the sanctimony in in Congress about Donald Trump.
What was Donald Trump asking for in that call with Zelinski?
He was asking for him to be a good steward of our money and not be corrupt like his predecessor, Porenchenko.
So exactly.
So I'm what I'm trying to get to the bottom of here is whether or not, you know, why is that not enough to begin an investigation by the FBI?
Why didn't the why at this time when you're impeaching one president and you got this guy's admitting all of this and his son admitting he's getting paid, and his son admitting he has no experience.
I that to me is the very definition of of what it means to sell influence.
Total totally agree with you, Sean.
The other thing that I think is going to be important with as James Comer moves forward is following the money, not just the monthly or annual compensation that that Hunter Biden was getting, but all these suspicious activity reports, the banking record, those are all in the purview of James Comer.
He has more than enough enough authority.
Now, your subpoena is only as good as your ability to enforce it, but the Department of Justice has to back up uh James Comer in in his effort as chairman to get to the bottom of those records.
And when he issues those subpoenas, he ought to be um issuing a subpoena for the bank record.
Remember that we also know from the laptop and whatnot that Joe Biden via Hunter, Hunter purchased a burner phone, if you will.
A phone that we know Joe Biden was using on a regular basis there at the White House at or at the uh vice president's residence to bypass some of the traditional routes.
Those records, Sean, need to be subpoenaed by the committee.
They have to be out there.
Where was Joe Biden calling?
Even Hunter Biden complained at one point, hey, when is dad or Joe Biden gonna be actually paying for his own phone?
Those records I think would also be illuminating.
Well, also we know the incriminating information on Hunter's laptop about his own father, complaining he pays half his income to quote Pops, complaining about paying for Pop's home repairs.
Uh we have now numerous references to the big guy, and uh clarification in the case of Bobalinski that in fact the big guy was Joe Biden himself.
So the big guy had his money, his share put aside.
Now, Joe Biden said the other day, well, show me the money.
Okay, I I can I can't show you the money.
I mean, that is a good question.
Where you know, if in fact this money came to the Biden family, I want to know where it went.
Now, Comer, so far, you're right.
He had to fight to get those suspicious activity reports.
He had to fight to get uh to see from the FBI the 1023 form.
Uh I assume he's fighting now to get the tapes where whoever's possession they may be in at this moment, I've got to believe they exist.
And and it's and it's been an uphill battle the whole way because Director Ray is basically playing in, you know, special pleader uh defense attorney for all things Biden.
And what we also heard from people that reviewed the document is as is uh Chairman Comer has talked about, there were footnotes of other 1023s or other documents that illuminated those too are things that they need to go through.
Remember, this all this this uh credible witness who the the FBI was paying uh you know hundred plus thousands of do dollars to, th this came out years before any of us ever heard about barisma and all these other things.
I mean, this has credibility in terms of its timing too, but the idea that there are previous documents on top of that, that is also should be right in the focus of where they're they're spending their time.
All right, so now the question is if you're James Comer, where do you where do you go next?
And you know, I don't know.
I mean, after everything that's happened, and you know, now that we know from the from the Durham report, which we had a good indication from Michael Horitz's uh inspector general report, but now that we know that Operation Crossfire Hurricane never ever should have been open, but it was.
Now that we know that the FBI gave special treatment to Hillary that they didn't provide to Donald Trump, then we know that the FBI in 2020, they they got involved again in a presidential election.
Uh they had her laptop in December of twenty nineteen.
Uh, and yet by the fall of twenty twenty in the lead up to the twenty twenty election, they're meeting weekly with big tech companies, warning them they may be victims of a misinformation campaign from a foreign entity, and it may be about Joe and it may be about Hunter Biden, and that was the Missouri case that revealed that part of it with the site of an uh the integrity site head at Twitter at the time, Yoel Roth.
Yeah, it it's so incestuous, it's so repetitive.
Uh, they they have to continue to go after these people.
We're gonna need a new president to blow these people out of the water and get rid of them and um do some serious investigations.
We can't do what Attorney General Sessions did, which is Well, how did James Comey get away if if they knew for sure there wasn't one single thing in that dossier that they were able to prove, according to Durham, but yet it became the basis of four Pfizer warrants, three of which were signed by James Comey.
How does James Comey get away with lying to a FISA court time after time after time?
How does that happen?
Because I doubt Sean Hannity or Jason Chaffetz would get away with that.
No, uh, this is where it goes to uh Chief Justice Roberts of the Supreme Court.
They are ultimately responsible for the FISA court.
How is it that somebody can forge documents, present them to the to the court, and nothing happened?
There's no repercussion whatsoever.
I mean, we've heard stories about judges throwing people in jail for a whole lot less than that.
They didn't even have to say sorry about it.
They the the guy who Kevin Kleinsmith who pled out, he didn't even lose his law license for goodness sake, Sean.
There you forged a document to change an election and and at the highest levels to go through these years of investigation, and that's the sentence that he got in a plea bargain.
I mean, he was negotiating with his own bosses.
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
It really is.
Jason Chaffetz is with us.
Don't forget his new book is out.
It's called The Puppeteers, the people who control the people who control America, bookstores around the country, Amazon.com, Hannity.com.
Well, let me go to your questioning of Comey, and um, you know, you actually had Comey admit that Hillary instructed Jake Sullivan to rem remove the classified markings so she could fax a classified document.
Comey even admitted that, just like he admitted that she had top secret classified information on the 30,000 emails, and then you got Comey to testify that ten people had access to her servers, uh, but we also believe the foreign entities had access to that server, don't we?
Oh, yeah.
Uh look, is it you tell me every intelligence agency on the planet is going to be targeting the Secretary of State and trying to figure out what she's doing, what she's thinking, what intelligences she's seeing, and stuff that she had traversing across her uh the airways there uh through her ca her home set up computer, which did not have the proper security protocols in place.
You're telling me that they did that the Chinese, the Russians, the others that are spying on us didn't go find that information.
Really?
And that there was no intention She set up this server on the same day she started her Senate confirmation.
I'm sure that was a coincidence, Director Comey.
Uh this is it's created such vulnerability.
These documents were so sensitive that even me, the chairman of the oversight committee with a pretty high security clearance could not review.
They they told me that if people saw these people could be killed.
That's why they wouldn't allow me to see it.
And yet she let it just happen and empowered people who had no security clearances to deal with those.
Wow.
Unb unbelievable.
Anyway, uh, you know, I mean, you really get into the the depths here and really understand this because you were there at the time.
Uh again, Jason Chaffetz's new book is out.
It's called The Puppeteers, the people that control the people that control America.
Well, it's certainly not Joe Biden controlling America.
That part I can tell you today.
Um anyway, Jason, great to have you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well we're coming to your city Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country sound We'll all be tired.
How then a jail?
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
I just want to tell you, I'm an innocent man.
I did nothing wrong, and we'll fight this out just like we've been fighting for seven years.
It would be wonderful if we could f devote our full time to making America great again.
Bribery alligation.
Armistone Nancy May says they're standing out of this net VI file that you sold out the country.
Do you have a response to Congress and Republicans?
Where's the money?
I'm joking.
Mr. President, can I try to turn to a bunch of more?
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your centaur.
Don't play our guitar saying you were conscious.
Sean Hannity.
The new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news.
And more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Glad you're with us, 800 nine four-one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh so, you know, we've been spending a lot of time today talking about unequal justice under the law, uh how we don't have equal application of our laws.
Uh and you know, uh at the bottom of this half hour, I think I'll play the entire exchange because Lindsay just nailed it with Stephanopoulos over the weekend uh about why this is so relevant.
Because if if one person is treated one way, well, why would another American be treated entirely differently?
You know, and then we have the whole issue of the entire Biden family syndicate, and there's no interest in the media at all whatsoever.
Uh, or Joe Biden's four locations for top secret and classified documents.
I'm telling you right now, is it so fundamental and so basic to this democratic republic of ours, it is the heart and soul of our constitution.
Every law is based on that document.
And we might as well be shredding it if Hillary Clinton can get away with all of the top secret, all the classified documents, and uh uh a little admonition from James Comey that no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute, and then on the obstruction side, the deletion of thirty-three thousand subpoenaed emails,
uh, and then of course devices that might have had those emails destroyed with with hammers, blackberries and iPhones, and some sim cards removed, uh some of them later showing up on on Anthony Wiener's laptop.
But no there was no rated Hillary Clinton's house, just like there was no raid of Joe Biden's house where the the Corvette was stored ever so safely with more open pictures of the garage that one can shake a stick at, or the Penn Biden Center in it at the University of Penn, U Penn, uh, or Delaware, you know, where he had in that office, you know, thousands of documents apparently, or at least eighteen hundred total, and we've not gotten a a breakdown of how many were top secret classified.
I'm not sure if I'd believe it at this point what they told us.
And then, of course, that is Beach House.
Oops, more documents there too.
None of those locations were raided.
I don't see the special counsel in the case against Biden doing a thing.
I don't see grand juries being formed.
I don't see witnesses being called in, left, right, and sideways.
I see none of that.
Anyway, joining us now is Donald Trump's uh attorney, uh Joe Tacopina is back with us.
Uh sir, how are you?
I'm good, Sean.
Um I'm agitated, but I'm good.
And you know, the way you just said it is is exactly it.
There is such a double standard in the administration of justice in this country that it is actually frightening.
It's frightening because the Justice Department is now being used as a political weapon for the the the whoever happens to be in power.
And it's Gestapo likes it, and it really shouldn't be.
I mean, it's a dark day for the country, it really is.
But you know what?
Half the country, I mean, if you're in the mainstream media, you love this.
If you're a Democrat, you love this.
You love the double standard.
Do they not see the double standard, or is it they just have convinced themselves that Donald Trump is the personification of all things evil on earth today?
That's what it is.
They've convinced themselves he's a personication of all things evil.
But what what we're absolutely really riles me up is the hypocrisy of the far left and the woke and all that.
Look, and I and Sean, I'm not, you know, I I I at times I'm socially liberal, I'm a defense attorney.
I mean, there are certain things that I I'm really, you know, feel strongly about when it comes to the rights of citizens accused and whatnot.
But but I will tell you this.
What I've seen now is is beyond tail.
I mean, you know, the whole thing about the the far left, the woke party or wherever they are, is inclusion and tolerance.
Inclusion and tolerance.
You, you know, include people, all people, people of all sorts of walks of life, transgender, everything.
Include everyone, be tolerant of everyone.
That applies unless you have a different opinion than them.
Because if you have a different opinion than them, there is no tolerance.
It's you're canceled, you're a white supremacist, you're an animal, whatever it is.
And it's it's gone too far.
It has absolutely gone too far.
And and to to put down the rule of law the way we've put it down here, to really stretch the rule of law to the point where it's never coming back to its original form and proper form, is what people don't seem to understand.
Yeah, the haters of Donald Trump think this is a great thing.
It's not a great thing because the next time this is now going to be the new norm for this country.
The next time you have a a No, it's only is it really gonna be the new norm?
And I don't mean to interrupt you, or is it gonna be the new norm if you're a Republican or conservative and the new norm that Democrats get away with the same offenses, or worse?
Well, I yes, that's true, clearly, because you know, the the media is so I've and I experienced look in this last seven months representing the president.
I can't tell you how real that has all become to me.
Look, I thought there was a little bit of an overstatement regarding the bias of the media and whatnot.
My God, Sean, you were right all along.
I mean, the stuff I've seen is so one-sided.
It's it's that they create facts at times that don't exist just to carry an agenda in the media.
And then you know, the media now is a a very I I put you know, air air bunnies around that, air quotes around the word media, because the media now is so many people who aren't even journalists, don't have editors, can write what they want to write.
But it's becoming to the point now.
Well, they're all talk show hosts like me, except I'm honest about it.
And unfortunately, their double standard that they see this all with glee.
They think this is good for America.
They think this is gonna stop Donald Trump uh from ever being president again.
That's what their ultimate goal here is.
Republican becomes president.
The next Republican becomes president, right?
And all of a sudden they've seen the playbook now.
The playbook is hey, use the Justice Department, which used to be separate apart from from any any sort of political bent.
Now use the Justice Department to go after the Democrats you don't like.
That's the new normal.
I'm telling you, that's what's gonna happen.
It's bad on both sides, but we've only seen that on one side.
And to me, it's unconscionable for a president to indict his leading c candidate opposing him.
Okay.
Joe Biden also kept classified documents for decades.
And and and you know, if you believe in the rule of law, you have to stand with President Trump against this this this force.
It's a grave injustice, it really is.
I'm not sure ultimately how it plays out.
I know he's got a very very aggressive uh special counsel, the prosecutor, you know, trying to run this case against him.
The only benefit I see for him is that that that finally it seems that the special counsel realized the jurisdiction would have been South Florida, uh where the president lives and where the Mar-a-Lago raid took place and not Washington, D.C. The odd thing was apparently a lot of the grand jury testimony took place in DC and then was read back to the grand jury in Florida.
That to me was a little odd, especially when you consider the grand jurors, correct me if I'm wrong, have a right to ask uh witnesses questions.
Correct.
It is everything.
Look, this we are there's a new norm every single day.
There's a new new new you know, fact, new process that comes out when you're dealing with President Trump in the legal system every single day.
And it's gets to the it's gotten to the point now where it's you don't know what what what's gonna happen next.
Look, I am happy that this case is going to be tried in the jurisdiction.
At least there are some people who uh you know who who support and love him.
Um you know, trying a case in New York, if you're representing President Trump, you know, nine out of ten potential.
Listen, Joe, you did the E. Gene Carroll lawsuit.
And and in that case, remember they they weighed in, they would not say the word rape in that case.
The verdict came back.
That was an incredi and by the way, I uh in New York, I was shocked.
I thought it was a slam dunk guilty, guilty guilty.
Yep.
And and we beat them on the one thing that mattered to them rape.
They said rape a hundred and thirty-three times on that transcript for that trial.
The first words out of mouth was why are you here?
Donald Trump rape me.
It was a rape case, and all they wanted was the next day's headline show that would be red ink ends of the world headlines, rapist.
Well, that didn't happen.
And it was just more of the same the access Hollywood tape and all the stuff that was led into that trial that I don't think should have been let in.
And and that's all the jury surmised and found, but they didn't believe her claim that Donald Trump raped her, and he didn't.
And and that was that.
And let me ask you this, because you've got Alvin Bragg and his case moving forward.
Uh both Alvin Bragg and the attorney general of New York, Letitia James, actually ran campaigns to go after one person, one man, Donald Trump, one organization, the Trump organization, one family, the Trump family.
Um is is that the right thing for somebody that's supposed to be impartial and and follow the law to be running on in a campaign?
Boy, you teed that one up.
That was a beautiful softball you just threw me.
I mean, that is so outrageous, not even funny.
It's to me it's what I'm saying.
I wasn't trying to sell hit you with a softball.
I'm just trying to understand how do you campaign against going against one family and one guy.
I I I know you're not, but think about what you just asked me.
How ridiculous is that, right?
Before Alvin Bragg is the prosecutor, before he has his hands on evidence, before he has subpoena power, he's a citizen running for an office.
He determined that priority number one is with Donald Trump in jail, not just convict him, put him in jail.
That's on an interview he did, okay.
How do you know that before you become the prosecutor?
You don't know the evidence, you don't have access to evidence that's sealed by grand jury information.
How can you make a ridiculous statement like that?
Let Tisa James the same thing.
She's running, she's a private citizen, running for the office of attorney general, said her priority will be to go after Trump and his family.
Really?
Based on what evidence, which goes to show you it was find the target, and then we'll get the evidence later.
Let's deal with who we want to go after, and then we'll back into that's what they used to do in the days of Stalin and the days of Hitler and any, you know, communist China um, you know, dictator who didn't like his opponents, they'd find the target, and then they try and back in evidence to support that claim.
But it is outrageous that those two, and it shows you uh a little bit of a serious lack of judgment and or intelligence that they would actually spoke the state that my they're running on a campaign to go after Trump.
Easy to do in New York, really courageous to do in New York when you know nine out of the ten voters vote against him.
But how can you say that if you're going to hold a law enforcement office where law enforcement has such enormous power and you have to use prosecutorial discretion before going after anyone?
You've already made a claim and a promise.
It's not just a claim, it was a promise to the constituents that you're going to prosecute Trump without knowing a stitch of evidence.
That's why we are where we are.
That's why this case in Manhattan is going to be full, in my opinion, um, based on a host of things, including selective prosecution.
All right, we continue now with Joe Tacopina, President Trump's attorney.
Let me go to the idea that they're trying on the left to get this judge that was Trump appointed, recused from this case.
Will they be successful?
I don't see why they should be successful.
I mean, a judge is a judge, right?
I mean, we had a judge in Manhattan in the Egene Carroll rape trial, which the July Town wasn't away, that was appointed by by uh Bill Clinton and very close with Clinton.
So I don't know.
That didn't seem to have an effect.
That didn't seem to bother anyone then.
Why would it bother anyone that he appointed judge?
He's got social friends with the judge.
He didn't, you know, work with the judge, wasn't business partners with the judge, appointed based on recommendations and qualifications.
This judge is a very qualified judge, and federal judges are supposed to be fair and and read the law properly.
There's no evidence that this judge, and and and shame on anyone who suggests that she's not going to be fair and impartial, because there's absolutely no evidence that she couldn't be fair and impartial.
She's a United States district.
Well, they try to point out that in the the case she had put forward a special master, and the 11th circuit, you know, uh push back on that, uh, and she eventually just could, you know, gave in to what the 11th Circuit said.
So I mean I would imagine that, you know, this is going to be one of those moments.
Um I will tell you do you think that this is just such a slam dunk case that that clearly the special counsel believes it is.
You have, you know, charge stacking in this case, you basically have the same charge 31 times.
Thirty-one separate incidents.
Uh what is your take?
It's not a slam dunk case.
It's a case, first of all, it's a case that had had they entitled the grand jury on the Biden's for the same exact you know, conduct or the Clintons and Hillary Clinton in particular for her steel dossier thing or or the But is that gonna be allowed?
Will that be admissible?
If it was in New York, like the case you just tried, it would be admissible.
Of course not.
So that that can't be used.
But but when you say slam dung case, there's no such thing as a slam dung case when it you're basing your your your entire theory on assumptions maybe made by others or that you're making.
The assumptions being that Donald Trump, you know, knew he was doing something wrong.
In criminal law, you have to have the mentor, as they call it, or the criminal intent to do something wrong.
And and for him to declassify documents, take home, most of which were personal mementos, obviously, and and some documents that he believes he declassified when he left the office.
I mean, it's not a slam dung case.
And don't forget, what a jury can do, what a jury can do is simply this.
They can feel that if someone's being treated unfairly.
Now, we as lawyers can't argue this, of course, but but a jury, and I've seen it happen before, is they if they believe someone's being treated unfairly, there's no one that could tell them they have to vote a certain way.
If they believe that there is a selective prosecution going on against Donald Trump, where others who did the same exact things were never even investigated, a jury could say, hey, a judge would have to let those comparisons in, wouldn't they?
Yeah, well, the judge is not gonna let those comparisons in, but we all live in this this planet Earth, where people are going to understand that look, if you think you're gonna get a jury who's never heard of any of the the Biden classified document stuff or the Hillary Clinton steel dossier or the Hillary Clinton private email server, you know, we're not living in reality.
There could be people who are going to say it's not fair what happened here.
And I think there is a way for the defense in this case to bring out the fact that no one else has been prosecuted for these documents, uh classified documents where they were recovered in other people's homes, like, you know, Vice President Pence, like uh Joe Biden, like others.
Uh i it's and Hillary was the worst defender of them all.
Yeah.
But unfortunately, unfortunately, you know, there is uh double standard, and that's the way we put it.
I was gonna say something a little more aggressive, but it's a double standard.
And look, I still think with a Florida jury, which means he's gonna get some people on there who don't off the bat hear the name of the defendant and vote guilty, right?
Because had this case been in New York or in DC, there are people who would have heard the name of the defendant and said, good, he's guilty.
I don't really care what the evidence is.
I think in Florida, you're gonna at least have a balance.
This judge is a good thing.
Oh, you have the best shot at a balance, and it looks like the they're gonna do everything they can do to get uh to do their judge shopping and get a more favorable judge uh on their part, even though it's a random system.
Uh Joe Tacopina, uh Trump's attorney, thank you so much for being with us.
