	Do you have a warning to Iran, to Hezbollah?
	I think they've understood that if they enter the war in a significant way, the response will be very, very powerful.
	And I hope they don't make that mistake.
	Thanks to that new poll for the Times.
	We already know he's struggling in even before this war.
	Could this war cost him re-election?
	Yes, it could.
	Do you know how many miles you travel on Amtrak?

	All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
	Hour two, Sean Hannity Show, toll-free.
	It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	We have James Comer, the House Oversight Committee, on tonight.
	As we now have the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, they are now moving forward in their investigation into the Biden family syndicate, if you will.
	And they have now sent out subpoenas for interviews for Hunter Biden, for James Biden, which is Joe's brother, and for Rob Walker.
	We're also expecting many more letters to be sent out as well for other people so that they will go in and they will have to testify.
	These subpoenas are going to go out left, right, and sideways in the days to come.
	I know it's taken a long time in some people's minds, but in the case of Congressman Comer, what he has wanted to do is he wanted to get to the bottom of this and he wanted to follow the money.
	And this is where he found now 10, if you include Joe Biden, 10 Biden family members have been paid what he is describing and their business associates and their companies over $24 million just from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan itself.
	I mean, that is a massive amount of money.
	So now the president's son, the president's brother, other Biden family associates connected to the record and the evidence obtained by that committee is now going to have a lot of substantive questions based on what they have discovered up to this point.
	Now, this investigation is going in tandem with what is happening in the House Ways and Means Committee and Jason Smith, but also with the House Judiciary Committee, and that is the issue of whether or not the Department of Justice and the FBI have been weaponized and whether they've been protecting Biden family members.
	Now, for example, Daily Caller has a piece out.
	Congressman Jim Jordan, who's the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has uncovered new evidence showing that top FBI officials actually ordered a field agent to monitor and, when necessary, censor conservative material that they considered disinformation.
	And by the way, some of the censored material, my name is directly associated with it.
	I was on the list to censor information.
	On top of that, we know in the lead up to the 2020 election that the FBI was meeting weekly with big tech companies, warning them they may be victims of a disinformation campaign, and that disinformation campaign may be about Hunter Biden or Joe Biden.
	Now, the FBI, we now know they knew in December of 2019, but likely probably earlier, about Hunter Biden's laptop.
	By March of 2019, they knew about the laptop.
	By March of 2020, they had, you know, they found it to be authentic and confirmed it to be authentic, and yet they're warning all these big companies.
	And then specifically, when companies like then Twitter and Facebook actually asked the FBI, is this Hunter Biden laptop story true?
	They would not give them an answer.
	All right, here to put it all together, as only he can, as the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, our friend Jim Jordan is with us.
	Sir, how are you?
	I'm fine, Sean.
	By the way, can you explain to me who targeted me and tried to censor me?
	Because I've already had thousands of my personal text messages released to the public.
	I have no privacy in this country anymore.
	Personally, I find it offensive, but I don't think I have any recourse, do I?
	Other than us exposing this and then them stopping it.
	And that is beginning to happen that they are, I think, pulling back.
	And I don't think you're going to see this kind of stuff take place in the 2024 election as you described that took place in 2020.
	But it was, here's the kicker, Sean.
	They were censoring your stuff and using your tax money to do it because these were government agencies partnering with big academia and big tech to set up this system, this software system, where they basically had this dashboard where they say, take down this tweet, limit the visibility of this post.
	And it was President Trump.
	It was Sean Hannity, Mike Huckabee, Molly Hemingway.
	I mean, you just go down the list of conservatives, and it was disproportionately conservatives that they targeted.
	Now, we've got the good case that's happening in the Fifth Circuit, that good decision.
	I think it's going to go to the Supreme Court, and we'll get a good, I think, a good ruling there to limit these agencies' ability to do this.
	There's been a story in the Washington Post saying that universities are backing off of this because we've called so many of them in, it's costing them attorney fees to come in when we ask them questions, and we were able to do all this and expose what they're doing and put that out there with that report earlier this week.
	So I think we're making real progress here, and that's important as we head into this next election.
	Let me get to the heart of this.
	Based on what Comer is doing in his committee and based on what you're discovering in your committee and the DOJ now tightening rules for prosecutors when probing Congress, okay, that's only part of it.
	But we also have, the Daily Caller had this unearthed emails showing the stonewalling.
	The FBI agent had orders from the Bureau's officials to censor.
	But then it goes further.
	You had a closed-door interview meeting with David Weiss.
	He's the special prosecutor now.
	That was only recently that that happened.
	And it turns out that he corroborated what the IRS whistleblowers had to say and that he did not have the charging authority that I believe under oath that the Attorney General said that he did have.
	Did the Attorney General not go before Congress and say that, in fact, he had the authority to charge in other jurisdictions?
	Yeah, he said it, and so did David Weiss in his initial letter to me, where he said he had the ultimate authority to determine when, where, and whether to bring any charges against Hunter Biden.
	But during the deposition, he was directly asked, did you ever seek special attorney status, which would have given him the status under Section 515 of the code, given him the status to take a case and prosecute it in some other United States Attorney's district?
	He was asked, did you ever request that?
	His answer was, yes, I did, in the spring of 2022.
	And here's the important fact.
	He requested that from Department of Justice, the Maine Justice Department, just prior to going to the District of Columbia U.S. Attorney and asking, would you partner with me on the prosecution?
	So he asked to get that power before he went.
	When he goes there, the district attorney says, no, I'm not going to partner with you.
	And then he never got that status until just this August when he requested it, of course, after the whole case fell apart with the plea agreement.
	So that directly confirms what whistleblower Gary Shapley told us.
	Their testimony has stood up after we've done seven different depositions now, and all the information we've uncovered, the whistleblower's testimony has been confirmed and validated every single time.
	Are any of these facts wrong?
	Did the FBI have a copy of Hunter Biden's laptop in December of 2019?
	Is that correct?
	That's correct.
	Did they corroborate its authenticity in March of 2020?
	Is that correct?
	Correct.
	Okay.
	Then can you explain to this country, if they knew the laptop was real, they also knew, and correct me if I'm wrong, that the likes of Rudy Giuliani and others had copies of this Hunter Biden laptop.
	Is that true?
	So then why would FBI agents be meeting weekly in the months leading up to the 2020 election, warning all of these big tech companies they may be a victim of a disinformation campaign and specifically told it may be about Joe Biden and it may be about Hunter Biden?
	Was that pre-bunking a very real and true story that they probably knew, if they have any political sense at all, would be extremely damaging to Joe Biden's presidential aspirations?
	Well, that's what I think.
	That's what you think.
	I think that's what your audience thinks.
	I think that's what most common sense Americans think.
	They would tell you, people in the national security and intelligence communities would tell you, well, we knew Russia tried to interfere with previous elections.
	We thought it was going to happen again.
	So they will go back to that as their talking point and the point they make.
	Because frankly, they did that when we interviewed Mr. Clapper, Mr. Brennan, and others who were associated with those 51 people who signed that letter.
	But in light of the fact that they knew it was authentic and they knew it was true and they knew it was real, and yet they're warning big tech that they may be a victim of misinformation about Joe and Hunter.
	And then when they knew the truth and these companies went to them, they were being responsible.
	They said, you've been warning us about this.
	Is the laptop story published in the New York Post true?
	They wouldn't give them an answer.
	Why not?
	Here's what's funny, and we've discovered this in depositions.
	There was one point where one agent said, yes, it's accurate.
	We have the laptop.
	And then in a subsequent meeting, that same day, now this is right when the New York Post story comes out, October 14th, 2020.
	That same day, there's another meeting later that day with Facebook people, and they say no comment.
	So someone flipped up right away, and then they backed off of it, and then later confirmed with each other, the government did.
	And the next time they got asked later that day, they said no comment.
	But they did keep that information.
	Here's the other thing, Sean.
	They not only kept it from them when it happened, when Scott Brady, the U.S. Attorney in the Western District of Pennsylvania, was tasked in early 2020, January 3rd, 2020, with filtering all information related to Hunter Biden and Ukraine.
	He was tasked with that job.
	He went to the FBI, give me that information.
	It'll filter through me as the Attorney General wants me to do.
	And then I'll get it to David Weiss or the Southern District of New York, wherever they have a grand jury and they're looking at possible prosecutions.
	They never told you about the laptop.
	We asked him about this two weeks ago.
	We said, when did you learn about the laptop?
	And he got this smile on his face.
	He said, I learned about it when you did, when it came out in the press on October 14th, 2020.
	I'm like, they didn't share that with you?
	Did that surprise you?
	Yes, it surprised me.
	It surprised the agents we had working on the case, the U.S. attorneys we had working on the case.
	So they kept it from him as well.
	And he was supposed to be the clearinghouse for all information related to Hunter Biden in Ukraine.
	Quick break, right back.
	We'll continue our final moments with the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan, on the other side.
	And then your calls, Ted Cruz, and much more.
	We continue now with the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, our final moments with Jim Jordan.
	How do you react to the stories just out yesterday and today that Hunter Biden, through his attorneys, wants his father's justice department, DOJ, to investigate smoking gun witness Tony Bobolinsky?
	That's number one.
	Number two, Hunter's scandal, you know, his attorney again is asking the speaker, Speaker Johnson, to cancel your investigation, Jason Smith's investigation, and James Comer's investigations into the Biden family completely.
	Now, why would they do that considering we've discovered all these show corporations, 10 Biden family members now Comer believes have been paid, $24 million just from the countries that I mentioned, China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan.
	Why would you stop your investigation under any circumstances?
	Because what we're talking about here is, did Joe Biden take actions that benefited his family or himself?
	And in the case of Burisma, using taxpayer money to do it.
	Yeah, I think you hit on it right there, Sean.
	The reason they're making these moves is because they know this story is so the country gets it.
	The storyline is as simple as it gets.
	Politician takes actions that benefit his family financially, and then there's an effort to sweep it under the rug.
	And the effort to sweep it under the rug is all the things we've been talking about, all the things David Weiss did.
	I mean, he's been at this now almost six years, investigation for that long a time, and yet finally gets special counsel status, lets the statute limitations lapse for the years when Hunter Biden.
	The Burisma years.
	Yeah, the Burisma years.
	So that would go right back to the White House.
	So that's the basic storyline.
	And of course, they're going to push back in any way they can because the country gets it.
	This is a tale as old as time.
	This is a story as old as the Hills.
	Politician is doing certain things that benefit his family financially, and then there's an effort to conceal it.
	All right, let's go through another timeline because I think the most damning, the two most damning cases are Burisma, an oil giant in Ukraine, and gas and oil giant in Ukraine, and the CEFC, the oil giant out of China.
	And if we start with Burisma, what do we know?
	And correct me if any of these dates are wrong.
	It became official Obama administration policy.
	They came to believe interagency consensus that Ukraine had made enough progress on the issue of corruption that warranted a billion dollars in loan guarantees.
	Let's fast forward.
	We're still in the year 2015.
	In December, Joe Biden gets a call from his son Hunter and two Burisma executives.
	This is around the time that they were panicked and they desperately needed D.C. help.
	Now, D.C. help certainly couldn't come from Hunter.
	That would have to come from Joe.
	Five days after that phone call with Burisma execs and Hunter, Joe goes to give the billion dollars in loan guarantees.
	And that's when he famously bragged that I gave him six hours to fire the prosecutor, son of a B, they did it.
	We also learned that Hunter had no experience in Ukraine, oil, gas, or energy.
	And that as a result of Joe's decision, Hunter continued to get paid.
	Now, is that bribery?
	Well, that's what I think it certainly looks like, Sean.
	I always say it's four facts.
	Hunter Biden gets put on the board of burisma.
	Fact two, he's not qualified to be on the board.
	Fact three is what you just pointed out.
	The burism executives on December 4th, 2015 say, hey, we need you to take some action.
	We need you to do something.
	We're under a lot of pressure.
	Can you help relieve that?
	He immediately then calls his dad.
	This is Devin Archer in his testimony.
	What does he do next?
	He calls his dad.
	He calls his dad.
	Five days later, his dad is in Ukraine and starts the process, gives the speech, goes after the prosecutor, gets the prosecutor fired, and threatens and says, I will hold up the money that had already been approved by the interagency policy committee, had been approved by the State Department.
	They'd already said, go ahead with it.
	European Union says go.
	They were for this as well.
	Said the prosecutor was doing a good job.
	He holds that up to get this prosecutor fired at the request of the very people Hunter Biden's getting paid millions of dollars for.
	And he's on TV bragging about it.
	We're going to hold Jim Jordan over.
	I have a couple more questions.
	He's the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
	I mean, this is now hitting critical mass, and I don't see how the Bidens get out of this.
	We'll explain that on the other side.
	800-941-Sean is our number.
	We'll get to your calls as well as we continue.

	All right, we continue with the House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, who is with us.
	All right, so we just went over the burisma example.
	Let me go to the other example.
	And I want to highlight something that is very important.
	And that is in the process of this story unfolding, there was a moment when Hunter Biden went on Good Morning America, and he said on Good Morning America that he had, you know, absolutely no, that he had absolutely, he said on Good Morning America that he had absolutely no experience in energy, oil, gas, Ukraine.
	And, you know, it was pretty shocking.
	And then one has to ask, go, how are you making all of this money sitting on a board in burisma?
	And then we discover later, and I'll get this to this next question in a second with Jim Jordan, then he's making money doing oil deals with the biggest oil and gas giant in China connected to the Chinese government.
	But this is what Hunter said on Good Morning America.
	There's been a lot of misinformation about me, not about my dad.
	Nobody buys that.
	But by this idea that I was unqualified to be on the board.
	What were your qualifications to be on the board of Arisma?
	Well, I was vice chairman of the board of Amtrak for five years.
	I was the chairman of the board of the UN World Food Program.
	I was a lawyer for Boys Schiller-Flexner, one of the most prestigious law firms in the world.
	You didn't have any extensive knowledge about natural gas or Ukraine itself, though.
	No, but I think that I had as much knowledge as anybody else that was on the board, if not more.
	In the list that you gave me of the reasons why you're on that board, you did not list the fact that you were the son of the colours.
	What role do you think that played?
	I think that it is impossible for me to be on any of the boards that I just mentioned without saying that I'm the son of the Vice President of the United States.
	If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Arisma?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Probably not.
	I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life if my last name wasn't Biden.
	Now, let's go to the WhatsApp message issue.
	This is with the Chinese oil conglomerate, the CEFC.
	Congressman Jordan, correct me if I'm wrong, but that WhatsApp message directly implicates Hunter and his father.
	I am sitting here with my father, and they're both mad that the CEFC did not keep their commitment to them.
	And then he goes through a long list between everybody that my father knows of my ability to hold the grudge.
	You are going to regret not keeping your commitment.
	And we're waiting for your call.
	My father and I are waiting for your call right now.
	Well, five days later, James Comer confirmed it again last night.
	$5 million was sent to one of these shell corporation accounts of the Bidens.
	Now, he doesn't have any experience in this field.
	Why on earth would they be paying him or Joe or grandchildren or any one of 10 different Biden family members this massive amount of money?
	Why would they be paying them when you don't have experience?
	I'd love that job.
	Pay me that money.
	I'd love 10 million.
	I'd love to get paid millions with no experience.
	Yeah, I mean, he got it because he said why he got it.
	He got it because of his last name.
	And what's more, his business partner confirmed that in his deposition under oath in front of us a few months back.
	You're talking about Devin Archer.
	What did he confirm to you?
	He said they were selling the brand.
	And who is the brand?
	What is the brand?
	The brand is Joe Biden.
	And then you have the WhatsApp messages you just brought up, Sean.
	The brand is sitting right beside the guy on the phone.
	He's sitting beside him because the guy on the phone, Hunter Biden, says, the guy sitting beside me is between the two of us.
	We're going to make life tough for you.
	And I'm paraphrasing, but they go through that WhatsApp message.
	So that is the brand.
	That is what was always for sale.
	That is that politician providing access, it looks like, taking actions based on what happened with Burisma and the prosecutor general in Ukraine so that his family benefits financially.
	And we asked Jonathan Charlie this under oath in a hearing two months back.
	We said, is a benefit to your family a benefit to you?
	And he said, of course it is, particularly when you're an older person and you're looking to make sure your family trying to help your family have the resources for their kids, their grandkids.
	That is exactly.
	So of course it's a benefit there.
	That is what's going on here, it seems to me, based on the evidence we've uncovered.
	Now, remember, in the Judiciary Committee, you are asking a very important question, whether or not we have a two-tiered justice system.
	You're asking other questions whether or not the Biden family was protected by the Department of Justice.
	You're asking other important questions about the weaponization of justice in America.
	Now, let me go back to the testimony that you just referred to, and that's Devin Archer, because correct me if I'm wrong.
	He testified that Joe Biden had called into at least 20 meetings with Hunter being there and their foreign business partners.
	Now, that directly contradicts what Joe Biden has said both as a candidate and as a president when he repeated it often.
	He said this.
	How many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?
	I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.
	I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do in their businesses, period.
	And what I will do is the same thing we did in our administration.
	There will be an absolute wall between personal and private and the government.
	Do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your son's overseas business dealings?
	I stand by that statement.
	How involved were you in your son's Chinese shakedown text message for you sitting there?
	Were you involved?
	Were you involved?
	Were you?
	No.
	The only thing I can do is make up things about my family.
	It's not going to go very far.
	There's this testimony now where one of your son's former business associates is claiming that you were on speakerphone a lot with them talking business.
	Is that what you never talk business name?
	I knew you'd have a lousy question.
	Well, what do you, why is that a lousy question?
	Because it's not true.
	So I ask you, Jim Jordan, did Joe Biden, as a candidate and as a president, flat out lie when he said he never spoke to his son, brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business dealings?
	Of course, the facts, the facts show that all those things were not accurate.
	He said time and time again, I didn't have no involvement.
	We know he's at dinners.
	We know he was at meetings.
	He was at a dinner for several hours with the wealthiest lady in Russia, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.
	Elena Batarina is her name, and that's at the Cafe Milano, a Russian oligarch, correct?
	So, yes.
	And by the way, didn't that Russian oligarch that Joe had dinner with, didn't she invest $3.5 billion or give $3.5 million to the Biden family and over $100 million, according to Devin Archer, invested in their real estate ventures?
	Yeah, and more importantly, she never wound up on any sanction list either.
	So, yes, that's another example where it looks like money came in.
	Joe Biden had contact, which goes directly against what he said to the press numerous times, including Peter Ducey there, your last up you play.
	And then there's action that happens or doesn't happen in this case.
	No sanctions are imposed on this individual.
	Unbelievable.
	Tell me what else is weaponized, whether or not we have a two-tier system of justice where Republicans are treated one way, if your last name is Trump, for example, versus your last name being Clinton or Biden.
	Yeah.
	Well, no, I was just going to say, Sean, I think that's obvious based on what the whistleblowers brought forward.
	They said they've never seen an investigation done this way.
	They've never seen it slow walk like this.
	They've never seen the statute of limitations.
	It's lapsed when you have that kind of tax liability that Hunter Biden had for those tax years when he was receiving the income from Burisma and other sources as well in those tax years.
	So you have all that, and then you have the multiple times the story changed from David Weiss, the multiple times the story has changed from the White House on what involvement Joe Biden may or may not have had.
	So I do think that you see this different standard, one set of rules for us regular guys, one set of rules if your last name is Trump and you're a conservative Republican like President Trump, and a different set if your name is Clinton, Biden, Comey, those names.
	Do you see any way that the Biden family gets away with all of this in light of all the information uncovered by your committee, by the Oversight Committee, and by the Ways and Means Committee?
	Is there any way possible that they escape justice here?
	Well, I mean, our job is to get the facts out there, to propose legislative solutions to limit how tax dollars are spent.
	That's what we can do in the legislative branch.
	And if we get to the point where we think this warrants going to articles of impeachment, there's that response as well from the legislative branch.
	Can we assume for a second everything we have now discussed in the last 30 minutes on this program are true?
	Does that not meet the threshold for bribery, high crimes, misdemeanors?
	Well, again, I want to complete the investigation.
	I want to have it all in front of us before that decision is made.
	What I've said all along is this is a decision that the entire Republican Conference has to make as a unit.
	I think we have to make that.
	I think we have to remain consistent to the Constitution.
	We have to do this in a deliberate way, unlike what the Democrats did to President Trump in 2019, where I was on the other side, defending President Trump from ridiculous stuff they did.
	And oh, by the way, that all dealt with supposedly holding up money for Ukraine based on one phone call that was fine.
	I've got the transcript.
	You've looked at the transcript of that phone call.
	I almost have it memorized.
	Yeah, they impeached him for that.
	And here we have what happened with Burisma, Joe Biden, and there was a Washington Post story back in September that said when they got on the plane, when Joe Biden got on the plane on December 7th, who over there and gave that speech on December 9th, 2015, just five days after his son had asked him to weigh in and relieve the pressure that Burisma was under.
	When he did that, on the flight over, Joe Biden called in Audible.
	And he said, because the whole State Department, everyone was saying the money should go to Ukraine, the $1 billion, the loan should go there.
	Joe Biden decided, no, I'm going to threaten that money.
	I'm going to use that as leverage to get this guy fired, which seems to me to be exactly what his son asked him to do when he picked up the phone and called him after he got the request from the Burisma executive.
	That is what happened, it looks like to me.
	And that is exactly what they accused President Trump of doing when he didn't do it.
	All right, quick break right back.
	We'll continue with Jim Jordan.
	He has agreed to stay longer with us.
	More with him on the other side.
	We continue now with the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
	Our final moments with Jim Jordan.
	The last question.
	One thing I would argue that Hunter Biden has going for him, he does have a very good lawyer.
	And that lawyer was able to get Robert Menendez off in his first trial in New Jersey.
	I think he's representing him again.
	This is the same lawyer that got John Edwards an acquittal.
	I think a hung jury in his case.
	One was acquittal, I believe.
	In his case, his name is Abby Lowell.
	He's a serious attorney.
	That seems to be the one thing working in his favor.
	But I would imagine facts become very difficult things for lawyers, don't they?
	They sure do.
	And that's our job is to uncover the facts.
	And it's why there are more subpoenas going out today of people we want to talk to that we think are important.
	We want to talk to Eric Sherwin, one of Hunter Biden's business partners.
	By the way, isn't Eric Sherwin the guy that Hunter would email with because he was in charge of finances and asked questions about which account he should use to pay for his father's home repairs?
	Yep.
	And I want to talk to this Kevin Morris, this guy who just came out of nowhere and says, I'm going to pay Hunter Biden's tech.
	I'm going to talk to this guy.
	So there's a number of other people.
	We want to talk to some of the people who bought the art and dealt with Hunter Biden's art.
	How did that all play out?
	How did that all work?
	So there are key folks that we do want to talk to that we will, Chairman Comer will be issuing subpoenas on here, I think, soon.
	I think this is now, though, hitting critical mass.
	It's hitting a head here.
	And, you know, I don't have a crystal ball, but, you know, you see this judge in New York clinging to this idiotic valuation of Mar-a-Lago at $18 million in spite of all the evidence to the contrary.
	I mean, I put up on the screen on television, Congressman, a two-acre plot of land, just dirt, nothing on it, for $200 million, oceanfront property in Palm Beach.
	There's over 20 acres at Mar-a-Lago.
	You have the intercoastal and you have the beach, the ocean, and you have a club, and it's a historic building, and it's got 50 some-odd bedrooms and 30 some-odd bathrooms and every amenity you could ever want or imagine.
	Why would the judge cling to an $18 million valuation?
	How is that fair?
	Do you think Donald Trump can get fair trials in New York, in D.C., In Fulton County, Georgia, because I don't think he can.
	No, when you stand up to the swamp, they come after you.
	They got this crazy 14th Amendment case in Colorado.
	They got the civil cases in New York.
	They got the state case in Atlanta, which is baloney.
	We know how baloney that was because we learned after she indicted 19 people and President Trump, he was thinking about she actually literally contemplated indicting three United States senators, including Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee.
	And then you got Jack Smith in both Miami and in D.C. Like, of course, they're out to get President Trump.
	I mean, the idea that Mar-a-Lanco is only worth that.
	You've been there.
	I've been there.
	Okay, so now all of these issues happened years ago, but they're going to have the trial in an election year.
	And I think if the president is going to have any shot at real justice and fairness, that would be on appeal.
	But any appeal is likely to be after the election.
	Is it time for that?
	It's all part of their campaign.
	When is the Jack Smith trial in D.C.?
	I think it's later to start early March.
	That's right.
	It's supposed to start the day before Super Tuesday.
	Yes, exactly.
	And it's like, it's just so, but here's the good news.
	And you know this because you talk to these people every day, to these great Americans every day who listen to your radio, listen to you like on Fox at night.
	I mean, the American people get it.
	They know what's going on.
	They know that's why when President Trump does a rally like he did last night, everybody shows up.
	I mean, the country gets that they are out to get him, just like they were out to get John Hendy, just like they've come after me, just like they wanted to censor your posts and tweets.
	That's what the country understands what is happening.
	And that's why I think one of the reasons President Trump is going to win in what now is what, a little less than a year.
	Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, I know you've been very generous with your time, Congressman.
	Thank you.
	We appreciate it.
	This is very comprehensive, and I think it brings everybody up to speed with where things are.
