| I think people are concerned about Joe Biden. | |
| They really are. | |
| I mean, Democrats are, you know, they talk behind their hand. | |
| Nobody wants to get on TV and say it because we all like to be able to go to barbecues and house parties, but people are concerned. | |
| The reality is that today, 60% of our people living paycheck to paycheck health care system is a total disaster. | |
| We have to make sure we win this because the thought of Kamala Harris being president should send a chill up every American spine. | |
| Freedom is back in style. | |
| Welcome to the revolution. | |
| Yeah, we have come in to your city. | |
| Going to play our guitars and saying you will come to sell. | |
| Sean Hannity, the new Sean Hannity Show. | |
| More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America. | |
| Hey, everybody, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| This is Jay Seculo, and Jordan Seculo is here as well. | |
| We are subbing in for our good friend Sean Hannity, and we've got a jam-packed program. | |
| Of course, we are the heads of the American Center for Law and Justice. | |
| You know our work, of course, and the privilege that we had in representing the 45th president of the United States through a number of legal issues, which have now multiplied. | |
| But this president is the Jordan, you said it the other day is the toughest guy I know. | |
| Exactly right. | |
| I mean, four criminal indictments and still campaigning, running across the country on behalf of Americans. | |
| Not someone that has to do it, but someone who wants to do it for our country. | |
| Mr. President, it is a privilege and an honor to have you on Sean's broadcast, and especially for me as someone that served as your lawyer for so many years. | |
| And I still consider myself emeritus in this situation. | |
| I have never seen, Jordan said this, Mr. President, it's the truth. | |
| So much coming at, you know, I thought during the four years you were in when we had to handle the Russia hoax and the Mueller nonsense and the Ukraine and all of that nonsense that we dealt with. | |
| And then you are now running again for president. | |
| You're leading the Republican nomination by light years at this point. | |
| And now we see the entire wheel of justice in a two-tiered justice system focusing like a laser beam. | |
| I'm going to dissect all about what that means in a moment. | |
| But the tenacity that you've had to stand for with this and still press forward is frankly, Mr. President, again, amazing. | |
| Well, they're only coming after because number one, I'm running and number two, I'm leading by a lot, including Biden. | |
| We just had a poll come out. | |
| We're leading him by 10 points in one poll, which who wouldn't lead him? | |
| I think a child would be leading him. | |
| He's so bad. | |
| He's the worst president we've ever had. | |
| He's the most corrupt president. | |
| And, you know, when you mentioned the four indictments, they're Biden indictments. | |
| They're not indictments. | |
| They're Biden indictments. | |
| That's my opponent, my political opponent set those indictment stuff. | |
| That's not like a third party indicting something, somebody for doing something wrong. | |
| These are Biden indictments. | |
| There's never been anything like it. | |
| It's a third world banana republic. | |
| That's what we've been reduced to between the open borders and the crooked elections. | |
| So, you know, I always say to people, these aren't indictments. | |
| These are Biden indictments. | |
| They set it up. | |
| And beyond that, you have the district attorney who's totally controlled in New York, who's totally controlled by the DOJ, which is the Biden's group. | |
| And you have in Florida, you have a district attorney who is totally controlled again by Biden's group. | |
| These are all Biden. | |
| So it's like many indictments. | |
| And, you know, the word at the Wharton School of Finance, I never studied indictment, but I got a lot of them quickly. | |
| But these are done by the political opponent. | |
| These aren't legitimate indictments. | |
| First of all, we are operating like a third world country. | |
| And I could take it to two levels on that. | |
| Number one, they've criminalized the practice of law because a lot of people that have been indicted here were lawyers representing clients, including you, that presented legal positions. | |
| And for that, they find themselves criminally charged. | |
| We don't do that in the United States, or we used to not do that. | |
| And then, of course, so they've criminalized the practice of law, and then they've weaponized the Department of Justice. | |
| And let me give a, for instance, Mr. President, something you can relate to, something I can relate to. | |
| So we find out that Jack Smith, the so-called special counsel, comes and has his number two, Jay Bratt, go over to the Biden White House counsel's office to meet and confer about these indictments on you. | |
| Now, could you imagine what the media would have been saying if we were doing that when I was representing you and the other lawyers that we had representing you and were meeting with the Department of Justice in that kind of context? | |
| It would have never happened. | |
| We wouldn't have done it. | |
| But they did it without apology. | |
| They did it, and they did much worse than that. | |
| They also offered judgeships to lawyers representing clients. | |
| Can you imagine that? | |
| If you'll say something bad about Donald Trump, they offered a judgeship to a very respected lawyer, highly respected, and he was incensed when he heard it. | |
| If his client would go and say negative things, anything negative about Donald Trump, how about that one? | |
| And that's Jay Bratt that did that. | |
| It's a disgrace what's going on. | |
| Our country is going to hell. | |
| We're like a failing nation. | |
| We are truly a failing nation. | |
| And we're going to get it straightened out, Jay. | |
| That's why I do this. | |
| But if I weren't running or if I was in last place or third place or any place, frankly, other than where I am, we're beating Biden by a lot, and we have to because otherwise our country doesn't have a chance. | |
| Mr. President, for me, this is Jordan. | |
| You know, I've got young kids, and that's why this election cycle is so important to me, because these last four years, I can't take another four more years like that, or if this becomes the political norm. | |
| And I know that we need someone who will go back to Washington and take the fight to Washington. | |
| You've paid the price already. | |
| You're paying the price even outside of office for taking the fight to Washington. | |
| But I know for my kids' sake and my family's sake, we have to have someone with your experience, with your background that is going to get back in there and continue to drain that swamp. | |
| We know they're going to come back and fight like with alligators and crocodiles or whatever else you find in a swamp. | |
| But I know if we got another round at it, we could get it done. | |
| Well, just think of it. | |
| I mean, you were there and you guys bought and Jordan is brilliant and happens to be your son. | |
| And you're right. | |
| And he's also a lot taller than you, which is a very interesting situation. | |
| I look at Jordan. | |
| How tall are you, Jordan, by the way? | |
| About 6'3". | |
| Yeah, because Jay's slightly... | |
| He's got his mother's genes, Mr. President. | |
| Let me just put it that way. | |
| No, no, I'm very impressed. | |
| Okay, but he's got that good brain, and you guys did a great job. | |
| You know, we have no choice but to turn it around. | |
| When you, your father was very much involved, and you were less so, but helped, Jordan, having to do with the perfect phone call. | |
| I call it the perfect phone call. | |
| Well, now with time, it's even more perfect because I was right 100%. | |
| I said, any information on corruption, please call the Attorney General of the United States. | |
| It turned out to be that they were totally corrupt, and it had to do with Hunter Biden. | |
| It had to do with a whole mess that now is blown up all over Washington. | |
| And even the fake news media, which doesn't want to report it, they're even starting to report it because it's so bad. | |
| But you were involved in that, Jay, and who would have thought it would have turned out to be this bad? | |
| You know what? | |
| It's horrifying in the sense of where we are as a country that political opponents, and that's what this is such a, this is obviously political show trials. | |
| That's what these are. | |
| And I go back to the beginning days, Mr. President, when we were in the Oval Office and in the very beginning, and we were talking about the FISA court, and they were changing letters that they were submitting. | |
| Lawyers were changing words of emails in order to get FISA warrants. | |
| And it just compounded and compounded. | |
| And then we found out recently that the head of counterintelligence that was actually on Mueller's team, one of the ones on Mueller's team, has ended up pleading guilty to being in collusion, if we want to use their words, with the Russian oligarch while he was investigating you. | |
| This is what's so absurd about where it's come. | |
| And now they put it on hyperdrive because they're willing to take out or try to, it's not going to work, to take out the leading Republican candidate and then also penalize the lawyers so that lawyers become afraid to represent their clients. | |
| That's very dangerous for America. | |
| But think of that for your audience. | |
| The head of the FBI, one of the top people who was in charge of the investigation of President Trump, turned out that he was involved with Russia. | |
| Okay? | |
| He was in charge of the Russian investigation, and he turned out that he was involved with Russia. | |
| And now he was just, I'm actually surprised they did anything about it. | |
| But they are going after him. | |
| That's almost too corrupt even for them to believe. | |
| But you know what? | |
| There's nothing too corrupt because these are the most corrupt people in the history of our country. | |
| So when people say, does it bother you? | |
| I say, listen, these are Biden administration indictments. | |
| And now I say to you, if they're allowed to do this, if I should win the election, am I allowed to say, oh, gee, somebody's going to be running against me? | |
| Let me damage him permanently. | |
| Let's indict him for something because he can indict people for anything. | |
| Let's indict him for something. | |
| Let me indict my political opponent to knock the hell out of him so that he won't be able to run. | |
| The difference is I have a very big platform and I'm able to get the word out and explain just like we're explaining it now. | |
| But can you imagine if in a couple of years I see somebody is gaining a little strength and I say, let's indict him to put him back where he belongs because that's exactly what they're doing. | |
| And it's never happened in this country before. | |
| It's happened in other countries, but they're banana republics. | |
| You know, Mr. President, you're the only person I've met and dealt with that I can imagine could even go through the four indictments and yet continue on the campaign trail the way you have talking about America, not just focusing on the indictments. | |
| And again, being able to compartmentalize all of that because I think it was a kill shot and they missed. | |
| They thought maybe we can get this guy to drop out, but you were willing to continue to drain the swamp at all costs. | |
| You were willing to go back through the campaign process again at all costs to get back to the White House, to do what's best for the country. | |
| Someone who doesn't have to get this job, doesn't need this job, but wants this job to help the American people who right now are struggling. | |
| And again, I point back to my kids, are looking at a future that's pretty bleak. | |
| It is pretty bleak when you look at what's going on, when you look at energy costs and you look at that horrible withdrawal the way they withdrew because I was withdrawing too, but we were doing with Dignon and Strike from Afghanistan. | |
| When you look at Russia going into Ukraine, there was no reason. | |
| So we're up to $225 billion, and Europe is at $20 billion. | |
| And think of that. | |
| We're at $225. | |
| Europe's at $20. | |
| Here we go again. | |
| That was like NATO when we were paying the cost, almost the full cost of NATO. | |
| It's so crazy. | |
| We have people that they truly don't know what they're doing. | |
| They're destroying our country. | |
| But I'm doing this because, and you've seen it happen, and I did it. | |
| Actually, I did it twice. | |
| I did it pre-COVID. | |
| We had the greatest country economically and in every other way ever, just prior to COVID. | |
| And then I had to do it again. | |
| I did it a second time. | |
| But what we're going to do is make America great again, and we can do it, and we will do it, and we'll do it fast, very fast. | |
| You know, Mr. President, I had the privilege. | |
| Jordan and I head up the American Center for Law and Justice, and we had a pastor that was in jail during the Obama administration, Andrew Brunson. | |
| And I got to witness firsthand your very tough negotiation with a very tough guy, and that was President Ertogan of Turkey. | |
| And I want to remind people of the fact that we had these Americans that were hostages, and that you got them released, and we held these governments accountable. | |
| I've never seen anything like it, the way in which you negotiated quickly for a resolution. | |
| You didn't put money on the table. | |
| You just got them out. | |
| I got 58 out, 58 hostages out. | |
| By the way, some from North Korea, as you know. | |
| One unfortunately was very badly, badly hurt when he came out. | |
| He was badly, barely alive, as you know. | |
| It was a very sad case. | |
| But I got the four hostages out from North Korea. | |
| But we got 58 total. | |
| Pastor Brunson, a wonderful guy, they said he was espionage. | |
| He was a spy. | |
| Right. | |
| And all over there, he was helping people over there. | |
| He was a quality guy, great guy. | |
| I hope you speak to him, give him my regards. | |
| But I was honored. | |
| But I was told that you couldn't do it, that you had to go through a court system. | |
| I called President Erdogan, and we got him out. | |
| I said, President, you got to remember that call. | |
| That was some phone call. | |
| That was a great phone call. | |
| That should go down in the annals of presidential history. | |
| You said you were going to make him the most famous pastor since Billy Graham. | |
| I'll never forget that line. | |
| And boy, three days later, he's on a flight back to the United States. | |
| Mr. President, again, thank you for being on with us. | |
| You know that on the legal issues, we're looking at every single one of them. | |
| It's a two-tiered legal system. | |
| This idea that they're trying to bring a trial the day before Super Tuesday just shows you how political it is. | |
| And we're thinking of every constitutional motion to bring. | |
| But thank you for taking time for being with us. | |
| Thank you both very much. | |
| I appreciate it. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Thank you, Mr. President. | |
| Folks, again, that was President Trump, and we will be right back with a lot more information. | |
| This is, by the way, this just happened just a few minutes before we went on air. | |
| So we were glad it was. | |
| About 15 minutes. | |
| Yeah, about 15 minutes before we went on air. | |
| So, folks, we're taking a break. | |
| We're coming back. | |
| We got our friend John Solomon coming up. | |
| Remember, Jordan and I head up the American Center for Law and Justice. | |
| You get information there at aclj.org. | |
| We're going to go take a break when we come back more with John Solomon. | |
| Hey, welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| This is Jay Seculo and Jordan Seculo. | |
| We are in for our friend Sean Hannity, and we just had on the air the president, former president of the United States, Donald Trump, who Jordan and I had the privilege of representing for four years, and we consider ourselves. | |
| We mentioned to the president while we were on because there's so many legal issues that are coming with these Biden indictments, as he calls them. | |
| So many significant constitutional issues like election interference, having a hearing, a trial start the day before Super Tuesday. | |
| That might be deemed election interference. | |
| You've got significant constitutional issues. | |
| Jordan and I head up an organization called the American Center for Law and Justice. | |
| And we handle cases of constitutional magnitude here in the United States and around the world. | |
| We are in the middle, actually, the last day of our life and liberty drive. | |
| And it actually ends at midnight tonight. | |
| And we created the drive because we looked at what people that listen to our broadcast. | |
| We're on at noon across the country. | |
| And you can do it. | |
| It's a secular broadcast wherever you listen to your podcast or, of course, YouTube, Facebook, all of the radio stations around the country. | |
| But we started this Life and Liberty Drive because of the support for our vital work. | |
| But I wanted to give you a sense of what that work entails. | |
| We just announced today that we filed a major lawsuit on behalf of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA about the censorship the Biden administration was engaged in, Jordan, regarding their activities. | |
| I mean, what we have to understand here when you're looking at the Biden administration, when you're looking at all of these different aspects of whether it is trying to look at your social media accounts, whether it is going after churches, all of these issues, the Biden administration's been front and center in trying to take away your First Amendment rights. | |
| Okay, 16 lawsuits we have right now against the Biden administration. | |
| We announced the newest one today. | |
| We're representing some of those whistleblowers. | |
| You're going to hear from some of the other lawyers that we're working with on that. | |
| We are the group that uncovered the terrorist cover-up at the southern border. | |
| You can support the work of the ACLJ through our ACLJ Life and Liberty Drive today by going to aclj.org. | |
| And right there, you just link in right to it. | |
| And any amount you donate, it's tax deductible. | |
| And then the ACLJ will get a matching gift from somebody else. | |
| So it really makes a big difference. | |
| I encourage you, if you want to stand for liberty and freedom, go to aclj.org and you get information, but you can also support the great work of the American Center for Law and Justice. | |
| Back with more on the Sean Hannity Show in just a moment. | |

| Hey, it's Jay Seculo and Jordan Seculo in for Sean Hannity. | |
| By the way, if you like that bumper music that you hear on the broadcast, that is the Jay Seculo band, who, by the way, tonight, I should say this, right, Jordan? | |
| That's it. | |
| Tonight, we have a concert. | |
| Where can they? | |
| It's at 8 o'clock Eastern Time. | |
| Right. | |
| You can go to aclj.org, Facebook, your Facebook page, the JSECULO Facebook page right away, 8 o'clock Eastern Time. | |
| Be on YouTube with your friends and family. | |
| Yep, YouTube Rumble. | |
| But check it out. | |
| Fun cancer concert. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah, a lot of new tunes. | |
| We have a lot of fun, and we do this because we're celebrating the end of the month and our life and liberty drive, which we'll talk about a little bit later. | |
| Our friend, a good friend, John Solomon, is on with us. | |
| And John is both a friend and someone we have a tremendous respect for. | |
| I've also, full disclosure, represented John in the past and would be happy to do that again if ever necessary. | |
| Hopefully, it never will be. | |
| But, John, I want to start with what I think is the greatest shift that we've seen in recent history, and that was the Hunter Biden plea bargain agreement worked out, the judge raising real questions, the plea bargain falling apart, and then the appointment of Weiss as the special counsel. | |
| We have never seen anything like this. | |
| No, no, you are right. | |
| It's unprecedented in judicial history. | |
| And it really is triggered by a singular event when those brave IRS whistleblowers, whose story I broke about three, four months ago back in May, when they came forward and they provided such compelling evidence to Congress, it really put everybody on alert, including the judge, that something wasn't right. | |
| This wasn't the sort of deal that normally gets done in a tax case like this, especially when you have a guy who is a, by his own admission, a regular tax goflow. | |
| He hadn't been paying taxes for years. | |
| And all of a sudden, you find out, well, they couldn't ask questions about his father. | |
| They couldn't raid a storage locker that he had. | |
| They couldn't go interview other witnesses. | |
| They were told not to ask about Joe Biden. | |
| And, oh, they allowed the statute of limitations. | |
| The government never lets the statute of limitations go on an open case when they're looking for leverage on the most serious offenses that Hunter Biden had done. | |
| They let the statute expire on the fact that he hadn't paid money on all that Brisma, Ukraine money, the biggest scandal in the Biden family. | |
| That extraordinary set of rolling revelations really changed the course of it. | |
| You see it in the correspondence that Abby Lowell's made public in some of these news interviews. | |
| Those whistleblowers stopped a bad deal, and they've now rebooted the case in a very different direction. | |
| You know, it's interesting. | |
| You mentioned the Ukraine Burisma situation. | |
| And of course, Jordan, that was the first impeachment that you and I did for President Trump, who was just on the broadcast, really focused on that whole Ukraine situation. | |
| And everything that John had written about and everything we alleged on the floor of the United States Senate three years later, every bit of it is true. | |
| Yeah, which made that phone call, I mean, that much more legitimate now that we are engaged. | |
| There's a full-on war going on between Ukraine and Russia. | |
| And the idea here, a war being backed by Joe Biden, and it puts into question, are we there for the right reasons? | |
| I mean, I think, again, pushing back against Putin is always a good thing to do, but are we there for the right reasons? | |
| Are we there for the Biden business reasons? | |
| And we didn't know that at the time. | |
| Fast forwarding a few years ahead, that Ukraine would be at the center of the world because of this military conflict. | |
| It was totally legitimate to ask the new president of Ukraine as a new president of the United States. | |
| Have former officials, like the Vice President of the United States, been putting pressure on your country in a way that's inappropriate. | |
| So, John, looking at the, you did all that initial work on breaking the whole barisma story, and now let's go fast forward three years. | |
| Where do you see it right now? | |
| Well, listen, I think there is a very big question that is outstanding, which is, is the information that the FBI got in 2020 that we were all kept from? | |
| It was a secret for three years until Chuck Grousey could get it and put it out with him and James Comer, is there a $10 million payment that can be traced that looks something like the bribe that the FBI informant told the agents on multiple occasions about? | |
| I can tell you that members of Congress recently were alerted to a $10 million transaction that occurs on or around February of 2014. | |
| Why is that important? | |
| Devin Archer told us that was the first time he had conversations with Brisma about joining the board with Hunter Biden. | |
| So, February 2014, two months before we all knew that Hunter and Biden and Devin Archer were getting involved with Brisma, he's over there meeting with Brisma officials. | |
| And oh, there's a $10 million transfer that comes out of Brisma to an account in the United States. | |
| That is a significant lead. | |
| That doesn't mean it's proof, but those are the sort of things that need to be resolved. | |
| We need to find out: is that bribe true or not true? | |
| It can be resolved. | |
| Bank records will tell us. | |
| Ukrainian officials from Brisma could be brought here and interviewed. | |
| There's a lot of work ahead of us today. | |
| I had an interview with President Trump earlier today, like you did, and he said something very profound, which is if there's going to be an impeachment inquiry, it should be done fairly. | |
| He encouraged the Republicans: don't do it the way Democrats do it fairly. | |
| And then he said we should answer the one question that all Americans have: Did Joe Biden get money from his son's exploits overseas? | |
| And I think that's a very rational path for what Republicans have to do. | |
| They've got to answer those big questions. | |
| We can't leave them hanging anymore. | |
| We've got to get the truth. | |
| I think the $10 million, if there is a bribery payment and that could be found, as the FBI informant told the FBI in 2020, that would be a very serious and big moment in the Biden presidency. | |
| I'm going to ask you politically, John, this question. | |
| Okay, so we've got these four indictments. | |
| The president calls them the Biden indictments. | |
| And even though some were invited by state prosecutors, all coming out of the same corpus of activity, which was the election, I mean, to me, as a lawyer, it looks like election interference. | |
| I am disgusted with the criminalization of the practice of law. | |
| We're supposed to be zealous advocates as lawyers for our clients, and now you're afraid to file an election law dispute thinking you could end up getting indicted. | |
| And that's how bizarre this whole thing has come. | |
| We've talked about the weaponization of government, but you mentioned the whistleblowers. | |
| Now, we're representing two FBI whistleblowers right now, but you were at the forefront of these whistleblower claims. | |
| How significant is the information that is coming from these whistleblowers? | |
| And there's many more in the pipeline. | |
| And where do you think that's going to end up kind of shining the spotlight? | |
| Yeah, I think there are three things we're going to learn. | |
| I think, first, there are more whistleblowers, and their effort to blow the whistle on the Biden family goes back much earlier. | |
| Next week, I'll make public some documents showing that the first whistleblowers approached the United States government from the banking community in and around November of 2016, and they provided some very damning information. | |
| Why was JPMorgan filing all of these suspicious activity reports? | |
| They provided the Securities and Exchange Commission, these whistleblowers did, the reasons why there was so much suspicion going on in the banking community about Hunter Biden's transactions. | |
| So, what it means is that the knowledge inside the government goes of potential problems around Hunter Biden and his business deals goes all the way back to 2016, an earlier whistleblower, much earlier than the IRS agents that came forward in 2020. | |
| The second thing I think will happen is that those IRS whistleblowers are in the process of conveying new information to the House Ways and Means Committee. | |
| There are presentations and documents that were used to have these discussions with prosecutors, including a presentation that prosecutors built on why they thought Hunter Biden should be prosecuted. | |
| Seeing that become public is going to remind people all the more that, hey, the prosecutors were for prosecuting Hunter Biden until they suddenly were against it. | |
| And that's going to call into greater question what may have happened in that window between when they wanted to prosecute him and when they moved and pivoted to that timeframe. | |
| I think the third element is there are people coming forward in the Justice Department now that are raising concerns about two special counsels. | |
| What was going on in Weiss's office? | |
| Officials in his office working around him, according to the whistleblowers. | |
| That's something the IRS whistleblowers couldn't see. | |
| There are other whistleblowers that are making approaches now about that. | |
| And then there's some new information that's been coming forward. | |
| In fact, that for the DOJ. | |
| And that is, we do know that Jay Bratt, according to White House records, and you've written about this, was meeting with White House Counsel's office of the Biden administration while they were prosecuting President Biden's primary opponent. | |
| And people have to remember the story we broke about eight months ago. | |
| It was Joe Biden who triggered the criminal investigation of Donald Trump on the classified records. | |
| He sent an instruction to the National Archives to send a referral over to the FBI. | |
| Joe Biden sick the FBI on Donald Trump. | |
| That can't be lost. | |
| And Jay Bratt is meeting in that timeframe around when that referral comes. | |
| That is the third thing that whistleblowers are highlighting, that there may have been some funny business on the Donald Trump side of this investigation, even as there were funny business in the opposite direction going on with Hunter Biden. | |
| Those are all serious things. | |
| They're all going to be checked out, but those are the type of whistleblowers that are beginning to emerge. | |
| And what we're also seeing, John, too, is the information, for instance, this big report today, like Hunter Biden's prosecutor, the Weiss team, now U.S. Attorney, now special counsel. | |
| But he was supposed to be operating so independently of the Department of Justice, except for when they got questions from Congress on the investigation, they went to the DOJ Office of Legislative Affairs and Office of Legal Counsel about how to respond. | |
| And the response from the DOJ was: we have received the letters. | |
| We'll take the lead on this. | |
| We'll send you a draft. | |
| Let us know if you need anything else. | |
| I mean, literally, it was the Biden and Garland Department of Justice leading the Weiss's team's response to Congress. | |
| That whole idea that he is independent is thrown out the door. | |
| Yeah, you guys hit it on the head. | |
| That's exactly it. | |
| There was a mirage that somehow this prosecutor left over from the Trump years was independent, but he never was really independent. | |
| How do we know that? | |
| We know he was consulting the Justice Department tax division about the cases. | |
| We know that the lawyers for Hunter Biden went around Weiss one time and had a conversation inside the main Justice Department. | |
| And now this new anecdote that came out this morning, there is something that has never felt right about the description that Merritt Garland gave Senator Grousey that a lot of people now call into question. | |
| I think there's going to be a lot more developments on this front. | |
| There are whistleblowers inside the Justice Department that are now providing information to a congressional committee about this. | |
| We'll see where that leads. | |
| But I think you have your bullseye over a very important issue that could really boomerang on the Garland Justice Department. | |
| I think that's right. | |
| For people who want to get information, John, about Just the News, where's the best place for them to go? | |
| BestplaceJustenews.com, or you can follow me on any social media platform at JSolomon Reports. | |
| We love all of our readers. | |
| They're so great and they're great supporters. | |
| Yeah, great. | |
| John, thanks for being with us. | |
| We appreciate you being on with Hannity and I appreciate the great work that you're doing, especially now with these whistleblowers. | |
| Great, great information. | |
| Thanks, John. | |
| I want to play, we had President Trump on earlier in the broadcast. | |
| I want to play bite two. | |
| The president, interestingly, I would say, wisely, calls the indictments against him the Biden indictments. | |
| Take a listen. | |
| These are Biden indictments. | |
| There's never been anything like it. | |
| It's a third world banana republic. | |
| That's what we've been reduced to with between the open borders and the crooked elections. | |
| So, you know, I always say to people, these aren't indictments. | |
| These are Biden indictments. | |
| They set it up. | |
| And beyond that, you have the district attorney who's totally controlled in New York, who's totally controlled by the DOJ, which is the Biden's group. | |
| And you have in Florida, you have a district attorney who is totally controlled again by Biden's group. | |
| These are all Biden, so it's like many indictments and, you know, the word at the Wharton School of Finance, I never studied indictment, but I got a lot of them quickly. | |
| But these are done by the political opponent. | |
| These aren't legitimate indictments. | |
| He's exactly right. | |
| The fact is, though, the politicization of this, Jordan, is in a scale that we haven't seen. | |
| And you were especially concerned when the judge set the trial for the day before Super Tuesday. | |
| You've worked on presidential campaigns. | |
| I mean, it's like they were looking at the calendar and saying, what could be the most politically damaging date to Donald Trump for us to start this trial? | |
| Because, again, I'm an Obama appointee. | |
| I don't like this guy. | |
| And again, we're supposed to think that even if you were an Obama appointee, that you should be equal justice under the law. | |
| You don't randomly pick the day before the biggest day in the presidential nominating process. | |
| It either is the day that you get a candidate, and it's the, or that the field narrows down to one or two candidates, Super Tuesday. | |
| And that's when she wanted to start the trial. | |
| It's just, they're not even trying to hide it anymore. | |
| I think President Trump has said that. | |
| John Solomon said it too. | |
| It's like they're not even trying to hide how they're coordinating anymore. | |
| DOJ told Weiss's team in emails they knew would get FOIA. | |
| We'll take the lead for you. | |
| We'll do all your press. | |
| It totally is unbelievable. | |
| It has happened. | |
| It's reality. | |
| But we fight back. | |
| And you know what you got to do? | |
| We're going to court on these. | |
| I said earlier that at the ACLJ, any constitutional issue that comes up in these indictments or these proceedings, we're going to file appropriate briefs. | |
| We already have 16 lawsuits. | |
| The ACLJ is the organization Jordan and I head up, and we have 16 lawsuits right now against the Biden administration. | |
| We're representing the whistleblowers. | |
| We are the ones who broke the terror cover-up story. | |
| So all of that's happening simultaneously. | |
| You can support the work of the ACLJ. | |
| We're in a life and liberty drive at aclj.org. | |
| And any amount you donate is tax deductible and we get a matching gift for it. | |
