You can almost say he is the trustee. He is a highly respected man. Our attorney general is in charge. Lets see what he finds. We have documents now that i have declassified for the purpose of the attorney general. He can then show them to the public, do whatever he wants to do with them. But you have to get down to what happened, because what happened is a tremendous delight in our country. What happened, the investigatio investigation, they tried to do a takedown. You cant do that. Let me just tell you, this should never, ever happen to another president again. Jason he is right about that. As President Trump works to hold our government accountable, intel chairman adam schiff is apoplectic. During a twitter rant he called trumps transparency unamerican. Meanwhile, obamas c. I. A. Chief john brennan is imploding. He knows the walls are closing in on hierand some others. Watch this. Well, i see it as a very, very serious and outrageous move on the part of mr. Trump. Once again, trampling on the statutory authorities so the director of National Intelligence and the heads ofll the independent intelligence agencies. I know my former colleagues in the intelligence agencies are looking upon this with great concern and worry. I implore dan coats, gina haspel, and others to stand up to this, i think unprecedented act on the part of mr. Trump. But im deeply, deeply concerned about what is goingnc on right now. Jason i bet he is. Joining us now is Fox News Contributor sara carter and two of schiffs republican colleagues in the house. Intel Committee Ohio congressman mike turner. And brad wenstrup. I had the pleasure of serving with both of you on the Intel Committee. Great to see you both. As well as you, sara. Let me start with you on the Intel Committee. What is brennan saying here . Is he projecting he has something to worry about . Well, you know, brennan, clapper, and comey, all of them believed they were above democracy not responsive to democracy. Their undertaking of the investigation obviously threatens democracy. The president s right to give the power to the attorney general to undertake an investigation so it doesnt happen again. Io can you imagine if right now trumps campagin began the same activities against joe biden that were undertaken a against donald trump . This has to stop. Its clearly a threat to democracy. If you turn the tables, even the democrats would say it shouldnt happen in democracy. We need to protect the electoral system, get to the bottom of it, hold people accountable accoun. Jason well said. Sara, you have covered this as closely as anybody along the way. Adam schiff saying that it is unamerican to go back and look at the origins and to reveal the information. A what is unamerican in schiffs world . There is nothing unamerican about transparency. I want clapper, brennan, comey and the rest of the Intelligence Community that thinks the president should not have the authority to actually ask william barr to declassify to remember that they are paid for by the American People. These intelligence agencies are paid for by taxpayers dollars. We have the right, congress has the right to oversight. There is another importantnt issue here. I dont think people are pointing this out. Think about this, jason. The majority of the leaks that happened what the new york times, Washington Post, reuters, mcclatchy, leaks about who Stefan Halper was, leaks regarding there investigation, leaks about the dossier, all came from some of these people. There is accusations and there is evidence to suggest that clapper leaked information. Nc possibly brennan leaked information. They dont want to legitimately have the government, the department of justice investigate, investigate what happened inin the 2016 election. Why . Because maybe they were involved . Be uh, no. It stops here. The president did the right thing. He did it right way. Ps william barr has an investigation and the American People deserve answers. Jason congressman winstrop you serve on thens Intel Committee and the ways and means. We should note to the viewers this memorial day, Great Service for the United States military. I believe you are the rank off the colonel. Maybe i should call you colonel. Break this down for us. You have seen leaks from the intel coming out of the Intel Committee under schiffs leadership and what the democrats have seen. What do you think the president s directive will do and what will it mean for the committee . What it means for the committee and the country is a chance to get to the truth and justice. I like the beginning of superman as a kid. Truth, justice, and the american way. I bought in. Last week was a microcosm of everything they are about and how they do it incorrectly. They bring in cohen back in for more interviews but they coach him in new york for days before they bring him in. A few weeks afterwards, they decide to release the entire transcript. We are like, okay, but make sure you have it redacted and take out the classified information. Adam schiff says, i have already done that. Trust me, we have taken out what we need to. The National Security act of 1947 says it can only be done by the director of National Intelligence. So i offered an amendment to make sure that it goes through the process. They voted it down. We moved to a vote to release it. Better yet, the vote was at 5 30. At 5 00 it had already been leaked and the Washington Post already had a story on the content. This is how they operate. There are no scruples left on that side of the aisle. Jason congressman turner, you are seeing it up close and personal. I believe you both as congressman signed the letter to say that adam schiff should actually resigned his position from being the chairman of the Intel Committee. Why did you sign it . Jason, what we are seeing is the full transformation of adam ship to joe mccarthy. After he put artist weakness of this was unamerican, i thought this sounds familiar. I googled congress, unamerican, sure enough, there was at a House Unamerican Activities Committee that investigated americans, not people that were threatening the country but actually the americans. This is where he wants to go. He investigated the president , he wants to investigate the president s family. When he is as unamerican, he wants the powers to broaden the investigation, instead of doing what is important for our committee. We should look at china, russia, north korea, and iran. Instead, he wants to look at americans, he should go back in time and chair the House Unamerican Activities Committee. Jason when the committee spends all its time to focus on trump all day every day instead of the world problems, i think you are right. This is a distraction for the committee. Heaven forbid somethingmm happened. Sara, we have a pending i. G. Report and we have other things that are in play. What are you hearing and seeing for the timing and the wheels that the attorney general barr is putting in to place . Well, the attorney general is certainly not going to slow down. What im hearing is he is very h dedicated, moving things forward very quickly. According to the people that work closely with him, this is someone that doesnt care about the media spotlight. He wants to get things done, he wants the country to move forward. More importantly than anythingts else, he wants the truth out. He wants to understand what happened here so it will never happen again. What we were looking at as far the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant, the application taken out by the f. B. I. Is significant. Because if the information does come out, as im hearing from my sources and the others are hearing, that carter page and George Papadopoulos both told Stefan Halper who wasan basically spying for the f. B. I. , that there was no collusion, they had nothing to do with the russians. That was withheld. That was withheld from the fisc court. That will be an enormous problem for them. Like i said last night on the show, another huge problem and one thing that absolutely must be investigated is going to be the unmasking of americans and why did Samantha Power have her signature on nearly 300,re nearly 300 applications to unmask americans. That is something that will be investigated. Jason these other two gentlemen on the screen with you have got their hands full. Congressmen, thank you both. I wish i had more time with you. This is also important thisyo weekend to thank you and the millions of the others that have dedicated the lives to this country, serving the nation. Colonel, thank you as well. We appreciate all three of you joining us. T at this hour, the Mainstream Media working overtime to downplay and ignore the investigation in the origins of the russia probe, instead of holding the government accountable. Many of those in the press are acting as cheerleaders for Speaker Pelosi during her public feud with President Trump. As the Washington Free beacon pointed out, their new favorite talking point is that Speaker Pelosi is getting under the skin of President Trump. Take a look. Good evening. Once again, the world is learning how easy is it is tooo get under the skin of the most powerful man on earth. Pelosi clearly got under the president s skin. Nancy pelosi conducted a master class today in how to get under trumps skin. Pelosi for some reason gets under his skin. The speaker is really getting under the president s skin. She has his number and she gets under his skin. She knows that she is getting under his skin. I have a lot of admiration for the way that nancy pelosi led the caucus and the way she has been able to get under trumps skin. The charge of the president ial coverup landed right underneath Donald Trumps skin. De pelosi knows how to play this game. Shes a master strategist and she knows this kind of language is likely to get under his skin. Jason it seems like a script to me. T while the media howled from the sidelines, today President Trump urged democrats to get over their anger and come to the table. Watch this. They were unhappy with the mueller report. Rt no collusion. No obstruction. No nothing. They are very unhappy. They are angry about it. They have to get over their anger. They have to get over their anger wait a minute. And get in the infrastructure, drug prices and things like that. Jason joining us now is trump 2020 press secretary kayleigh mcenany. California congressman Tom Mcclintock and the republican strategist brad blakeman. Thank you for being here. Kayleigh, ill start with you. I just have to giggle. They think they are gettingit under the skin of donald trump. Are you kidding me . I think donald trump relishes in these kind of skirmishes. What is your take on it . You are exactly right, jason. Its so funny to watch the recordbreaking times that someone could say under President Trumps skin. As if the Democratic National committee emailed the talking points, they all printed them out, and echoed them, which is likely what happened. Hi here is the opposite, though. President trump gets under Nancy Pelosis skin. He gets under the democrats skin. Mueller got under their skin when he completely exonerated the president. They are totally triggered. That is why you hear impeachment. Thats why you hear their bogus conspiracy theories. Jicama. While, at the fastest pace since ronald reagan, are faster than ronald reagan, if you read heritage foundation. This president continues to succeed. He gets under Nancy Pelosis skin. Its incredible to watch. Jason brad, look, there democrats are painting themselves in a corner, right . They keep doing things i dont know how they get out of the culdesacs that they put themselves in but how are democrats going to play this . Out or you see moving forward . They will overplay it just like they did with the mueller report. They asked for the special counsel. They got one. Then they said we believe in mueller and we will accept the findings. They dont. Now they are continuing on the delusion in order to create the atmosphere to take the president down. Its not enough to be against trump. You have to beat him at the polls. You cant because you are not running on a record. Donald trump has a record. It frustrates them to no end. Its not them getting under the skin of donald trump. They are consumed by the fact that trump has been successful in spite of their efforts to get rid of him. Jason Tom Mcclintock and i served in the congress together, i think we were elected at the same time. Fa you, braver than i am, dignity and sit in the face ofro it. You are a congressman from california so you are familiar with nancy pelosi. You go on the floor of the house and try to listen to nancy pelosi and why she was doing but what is your read on what he she is doing and how is she taking the positions that she is . I love that term, under his skin. He is the most thick skinneded politician i have ever met. He has the skin of an armadillo. They flatter themselves if they think they are gettingg under his skin. 1 of 2 things is going on. Either this is vintage trump dealsmanship. This reminds me of the scene from patton. He is ranting and raving and they pull him aside and said, general, sometimes they dont know when you are acting. George c. Scott playing pattonon says, its not important that the men know. Its important that i know. That might be what is going on. Or its pure human nature. You cant amicablyly cooperate with someone trying to destroy you at the same time. If that is the case, then nancy pelosi has a simple choice. She can have a policy victory by getting together on Something Like infrastructure, or she can keep nursing her political grievances, but she cant do both. Jason i think thats right. Kayleigh, that is a problem. Nancy pelosi has a meeting aboui impeachment, an impromptu meeting, then goes out and accuses the president of violating the law, at the to sit down with him in the next hour. I mean, i think thats human nature to do what donald trump did. There is no doubt about it. This was a charade. Someone who wants to in earnest negotiate and engage in bipartisanship does not do any of the things that you just named. T likewise, if she wanted to move forward with infrastructure, there was supposed to be another meeting where the democrats laid out exactly what they wanted and how they wanted to spend the money. Nancy pelosi canceled it. We have seen it on every issue. Immigration, when President Trump proposed a daca fix in exchange for the wall. They dismissed it. We see it time after time. They are not earnest about this. Its politics. S. They want impeachment and they want to disenfranchise the American People. Jason brad, i got to tell you, it seems like trump should be winning awards for his openness and transparency. Yet the democrats are claiming there is a coverup. When trump does something, they claim the opposite. Its so absurd, their position to say he is covering something up when he is about as open as he could be in allowing all the access to the special prosecutor. Correct . He instructed attorney general barr to go through the document to have further transparency on how it started and the democrats are beside themselves. H they never thought the president would respond the way he did. Now well find out what was behind the dossier, how it was gathered, the information, and including more information about the treachery that was happening at the Senior Leadership of the f. B. I. So my caution to democrats is be careful what you wish for. Jason congressman, after 30 seconds here, so but adam schiff visiting with the president it is unamerican. What is your read on it . Its absolutely american. Louie brandeis said it best. Sunlight is the best of disinfectants. I its becoming clear we had the embryo of a police state growing in our intelligence agencies, in our Law Enforcement agencies, and at the i. R. S. I. R. S. Preying on the ordinary americans because of the political beliefs and the intelligence agencies and department of justice at the highest level, misusing their powers, first, intervene in our natural election. When they failed to do that, to undermine the constitutionally elected president of the United States. We have to get to the bottom of it. Jason congressmans. Mcclintock, one of the great people serving our country in washington, d. C. We thank you for your service. Kayleigh and brad, thank you for joining us on a beautiful friday night. Ha thank you.

Jason welcome back to this special edition of hannity justice and liberty. Tonight nancy pelosi is losing her grip on her caucus as House Democrats continue to ramp up their impeachment hysteria across capitol hill. Even taking aim at the speaker herself. Er take a look. You said 90 of democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are for opening an impeachment inquiry right now. If that number is accurate, is nancy pelosi going too soft on the president right now . Is she not listening to the majority of the members of her caucus . The Judiciary Committee members are more tuned to the issue. E. The majority of the caucus is not there yet. Nancy has a good perspective on the caucus and a good mother hen. She is wrong in her strategy. Jason called her a mother hen . Wow the good news is, all this hate and harassment gives the president had an even clearer path to victory in 2020. Just listen to how Lindsey Graham earlier today framed it. He is doing a really good job. If you want a strong military, you got one. Humming economy, you got one. If you want to take on the enemy differently than obama did, that is what we are doing. The democrats will get him reelected. I dont think you can become the nominee of the Democratic Party without embracing impeachment. If youre a house member of the democratic caucus, you will get a primary if you vote against impeachment. The people who want to impeach the president have lost theirr mind and they are driving the Democratic Party over an edge. Jason Lindsey Graham is one of the smartest political minds out there. What he says we should take heed. Joining me is larry elder and the republican congressman andy biggs of arizona. Congressman, i want to start with you. I served with you in the congress. What in the world are the democrats doing . They are calling witnesses that cant attend and subpoenaing documents they know cant be released. Do they think that the American People are stupid andai obvious to this fact . A little is that. The other part is they are trying to inflame their base. You served on the committee with me so you know how some of the people are that we faced on a regular basis. They are trying to conduct an impeachment investigation without getting to impeachment. Steve cohen is right. The democrats are ready to rock and roll. And pelosi is doing everything she can to pull back on the horses, keep them in check. I think we are heading down an impeachment road they will hit on. I dont think she can hold them back much longer. N jason this is where the democrats are. They cant win on policy. So they reached a conclusion they have to get rid of trump. The only way they can do this is through impeachment, is it not . T larry . What they are doing is impeachmentish. They want a bunch of bad headlines, dragging this thing out, hoping that the polls will turn. Right now the only people who want trump impeached are democrats. Independents dont and republicans of course do not. Pelosi hopes to drag it out and have investigation after investigation, eventually the polls will turn, and then maybee they can talk about impeachment. She has gone to school on whatat happened with bill clinton. As you know, bill clintons popularity, his Approval Ratings went up. His numbers for n trustworthiness and honesty went down but people were able to separate the man, character, from the job he was doing and nancy pelosi fears the same thing will happen with trump if they go the impeachment route right now. Jason earlier in the week, Speaker Pelosi said donald trump wants there to be an impeachment. What president would ever think that, oh, i want impeachment and go through that process . Where does she come up with this . I dont know. Donald trump doesnt want an impeachment proceeding. Nobody does, really. If you are president of the o United States, you want to enact your policies. They are doing everything they can to put the speed sticks down. She put gas on the fire using the term coverup. Those were the key phrases of the nixon impeachment and bill clintons impeachment. She has to be so careful. She is trying to placate her base in her conference and in her party. She, like larry says, the only people that want this are the basically the democrat base. She has to make sure she m doesnt walk out there and lose the election. And lose the house as a speaker, twice, to lose the majority of the house to republicans twice as speaker. Jason larry, the way i see it, the democrats keep going down the culdesacs where they cant possibly achieve what they say they will achieve when they promise collusion seeing evidence for two years and they came up with nothing. Lindsey graham cams them the crazy dems. Are they just flatout stupid . What is going on here . Well, congressman, when you lose bill maher you have lost the game. He had adam schiff on the show and said this is our big guy, the goods on him. We dont have them. It just looks like you are stalking trump. When you have lost bill maher, you have lost the argument. Jason good point. Adam schiff says it is unamerican, congressman. How do you react to that . For what the president did when he said he was going to open up, be more open, more transparent. Why in the world does adam schiff say its unamerican . Adam schiff is unamerican, i guess. Because the reality is, everybody in the world said we want a more transparent a presidency after the last administration. You know what you got . You have the most transparent president in american history. Whether its documents, his tweets. You know what President Trump is thinking on virtually every issue. H it turns out the democratsts dont like that as much as they their they would. Jason where is the Sunlight Foundation . They should be giving trump awards for how open and transparent. You wont see anyone in the washington, d. C. , class giving him credit for how open and transparent he is. And talking to the media every time he goes to the helicopter. Congressman biggs, larry, thank you for joining us tonight. Up next we will go oneonone with Alice Marie Johnson. That a great story. You dont want to miss this. The model prisoner whose life sentence President Trump commuted last year. We talk to her about her brand new book when we come right back. Motor . Its pronounced motour. For those who were born to ride, theres progressive. sfx birds singing, distant dog barking hi hi whistling tune dont worry, be happy last year i heard through friends the story of Alice Johnson. I was deeply moved. In 1997, alice was sentenced to life in prison as a firsttime nonviolent drug offender. Over the next 22 years, she became a prison minister, inspiring others to choose a better path. O in june, i commuted alices sentence. When i saw alices beautiful family, greet her at the prison gates, hugs, crying, laughing, i knew i did something right. Jason that was President Trump at the state of the Union Address to tell the inspiring story of Alice Johnson who wrote a piece for foxnews. Com titled, i was sentenced to life in prison. Here is why i never lost i hope. She served 20 years in prison on drugrelated charges untilmu the sentence was commuted by the president in june of 2018. T compare it to the prison timehe served for the american taliban traitor John Walker Lindh who was recently released on probation after serving onlyo 17 years of a 20year sentence. It shows there is a double standard in the meaning of justice sometime in this country. But things are changing now. Thanks to President Trump. And in this particular case, Kim Kardashian west advocacy. And brave people like Alice Marie Johnson who joins us tonight. Her new book, after life my journey from incarceration to freedom, was released this week. I look forward to reading it. Thank you so much, alice, for joining us. You have had to learn tough lessons in life. What did you learn in the time in prison . I i learned that people can change. This country, as i said before, is a country of second chances. Im so blessed to have been given that second chance. People who pose no risk to society and have already paid their dues, why are we still keeping them in prison . Jason no, you bring up a good point. I believe in redemption and you have to go through this process. You have gone through that. As you look at the Justice System now, what is yourhe encouragement for those that are going through tough times or have somebody who is incarcerated . Tell them to continue to hold on to their hope. Continue to look at the candidates who are running for office. Know what their agendas are. Keep your family members encouraged. People whol the have returning citizens coming in to their communities to welcome them home, give them the second chance. They need your support, too. Jason 95 of the people who actually go to prison, they are coming back out. Yes. Jason we can either make them hardened criminals or we or work with them to make them better, more productive citizens. You were given a second chance. Why did you write the book and what is the main thesis in communication you trying to put across . My book is a book of hope. Not only for people who are incarcerated, but i think forca people in this nation, people who have found themselves in hard places and dont knowow what to do. My memoir is a story of faith, perseverance, and given a second chance. But it magnifies the need to reform our criminal justicere system. Some of those steps have already begun. Im so thankful to have been a part of that. But there are more steps that need to take place. Jason no, look, i was the original sponsor of c the criminal Justice Reform that help people like you so its satisfying to see what has happened. You got some help from unusual places. You had Kim Kardashian west. I dont know how you communicated with her. How did it come about to get your help to solicit the president s help . I did a video oped that went viral. Someone who kim follows tweeted it out to her. She said she had not been on her phone for a while. When she turned the phone on, my face popped up. She heard my story. She tweeted out, this is so unfair. She called her personal attorney. They assembled a dream team. She reached out to ivanka trump. She became a member of team alice, too. And she communicated my case to her husband jared kushner, who also got on team alice. So they all were on a mission, a rescue mission for me. Y jason god bless you. Esou thank you. Jason wish you the best in your life. We thank you for joining us tonight. Good luck with the book. I look forward to reading it. Thank you. Thank you, jason. Jason next, a major update in the Jussie Smollett case. Plus, Harvey Weinstein may owe millions of dollars to his victims. Well be right back. Jason welcome back to f jason welcome back to this special edition of hannity. Justice and liberty. Im Jason Chaffetz in for sean. Many perceive there to be a twotiered Justice System in this country. One for the rich and famous and one for everyone else. But tonight the tide seems to turn on the elites who tend to get a pass. Fox news correspondent Trace Gallagher is joining us lives. With the latest on the Jussie Smollett saga and the ongoing legal hurdles facing thehe disgraced hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, plus justice in the jayme closs case. Trace . The initial 250 pages of documents released in the Jussie Smollett case dont have any bombshell revelations. S. They mostly talk about the bickering over whether the files should be released in the first place. We learned that as part of the bail, smollett was told not to have communications with the brothers he allegedly paid to help him commit the hate crime hoax. El Chicago Police will release their files in the case on tuesday and the state attorney files will come out on june 3. That is when we expect more information about the attack, the alleged coverup, and why states attorney kim foxx abruptly dropped the 16 counts against smollett. Attorneys for the actor argued the file should not be released because it would violate smolletts privacy butvi the judge said that smollett waived his right to privacy making the numerous public statements about the case. Meantime, accused sexual offender Harvey Weinstein has a 44 million deal in the works to settle lawsuits related to his Sexual Misconduct case. The money reportedly would come from insurance policies and go to his alleged victims. Former weinstein employees and the creditors. Dozens of women accusedd weinstein of Sexual Misconduct. He denies all accusations of nonconsensual sex. His trial on criminal charges in new york is set to begin in september. Today, 21yearold jakee patterson, the man who kidnapped 13yearold jayme closs after killing her parents, was given two life sentences plus 40 years. In a statement, jayme closs said patterson took a lot of the things she loves and, it makes me the most sad that he took away my mom and dad. Patterson said he would do m absolutely anything to bring them back. Jason . Jason trace, thank you. Joining me now with reaction, Fox News Contributor and attorney emily compagno. And attorney and legal analyst royal oaks. Thank you for joining us f here. Emily, let me start with you first. I know you follow the jayme closs case. T this is an amazing case. Do you think justice was properly served here today . In the state of wisconsin, this was the most extreme penalty he could actually receive. Punish since the mid1800s. Wisconsin only executed one e person in the entire history. So here, the fact that he received two life sentences without the possibility ofnc parole, plus an additional 25 years, plus 15 for the kidnapping, then, yes, i do believe, short of a capitall sentence, which was not possible in wisconsin, the most maximum justice could be served. Remember, too, the family, jayme and the rest of her family were spared a trial. The taxpayers were spared the tax burden as well. Jason its people like jayme who are an inspiration like me. Ordinary americans who go through horrific things and overcome them. I hope she can get on with her life and the rest of her loved ones. I need to try to hit some other topics. Royal, let me talk to you about Harvey Weinstein. Tell us the significance. He is now evidently reaching a a settlement on the civil case. But the criminal case isas pending. I believe it comes up in. September. You dont always see it happenu in that order. What is the significance of him settling this out on the civil side . S well, the idea that 44 million will be spent to get him off the hook for many t dozens of the civil lawsuits, it will bother a lot of people. They dont like the idea of insurance helping out. If we look to recent history, o. J. Simpson had his Homeowners Insurance help him out in lawsuits and bill cosbyur had the same situation. The real problem for harveyy weinstein, as you suggest, is he is going to trial september 9 on two counts. A rape count and a Sexual Assault count. So he is probably thinking to himself, yeah, nice to get thein civil stuff off the docket. But mainly he is worried about going to prison for years. He has a new dream team. Jose baez, who was involved in the Aaron Hernandez case and the Casey Anthony case. Harvey weinstein can afford theh best lawyers and hes going to roll the dice and hope he doesnt get bad news in new york in september. Jason he may not have a choice. When you get Insurance Company to make the payout, he had a bizarre contract, if you recall. Tr but emily, as you look at the case from afar, granted, you havent been through all the case files, but if you look atgh it from afar, Harvey Weinstein facing these allegations, its tough to prove these. Are they not . How serious is his jeopardy as he goes into this trial in september . I think he is actually in incredibly jeopardy here, given the climate and the overwhelming wealth of evidence we have heard of thus far. Obviously, like you said, we havent heard the case files, we dont know exactly what will be presented, but from what we know thus far, there is an incredible volume and a large amount of incriminatingmo evidence in his part, including and especially in his communications. A point about the civil settlement as well, thel, advisers for the weinstein t co still have to approve it. If they do it settles the new York Attorney general civil suit against the company for violating civil rights of the employees. Right . Ri they are supposed to be protected by him. So that is an interesting additional element as well here. Jason so lets go on to the Jussie Smollett case. This is also a fascinating case. The judge, evidently, or there was an order for smollett not to contact the brothers. So royal, what was the significance of that . Why would it have happened in this particular case . It is common, prosecutors dont want people to be talking to witnesses. They dont want any tainting or tampering. I think the main issue here, jason, sunlight really is the best disinfectant, as you talked about earlier in your show. The bottom line is, we are entitled toit see why the prosecutors dropped these charges. Illinois has a special law that says if someone is found not guilty or charges are dropped, often times you can keep it sealed. That is to protect people who want a chance to go get a new job. But that is irrelevant in this situation. As the judge pointed out, jussie went on national tv many times talking about the case so he waived his right to privacy. So things always work better if you have them out in the open. Look, if you have a lawsuit about the Nuclear Codes or a child, sure. Lets seal those records. But we are entitled to see why the charges were dropped. Jason emily, do you believe the judge made thehe right decision here in allowing these files to come out . I do. Especially for the reasons he articulated, which included the fact it was after the case was dropped that Jussie Smollett still went on the record and in front of the press and had his conference, right . O if he had shut his mouth and disappeared, maybe it would h have boded more for him to have a right to privacy. But even after the case was dismissed, that is when he continued to run his mouth. Which i know is part of kind of the larger public personality we have been seeing as it abuts the Justice System. We saw with Michael Avenatti where his tweets were quoted in the charge documents. It matters what the celebrities do in the public face, it affects their cases. Jason thank you, both. I really appreciate it.
