news that our economy had zero percent inflation in the month of julyy, zero percent. okay, we ll have more on that a little bit later in the show, i promise. but first, there never been a more important day for the permanent washington time than inauguration day for joe biden. january 20th last year it was moment democrats and their voters in the federal bureaucracy have been waiting for for four years. none of it had to do with joe biden or possibilities his presidency could bring to them.t the best part about joe biden taking office was donald trump was leaving office, although it was made possible because somehow voters during a pandemicus had accomplished what, four years off witch hunts, pausing to investigate the full force of surveillance state could not removing donald trump from the white house despite getting seventy four million votes. but it quickly becameus clear removing donald trump was not the end goal. believe it or not, almost immediately joe biden and his
immediately joe biden and his newly installed attorneyy general at the department of justice, merrick garland, began targeting hundredsnet of trump voters who protested the election results on january six . roteelultsso the biden administn jailed people like, you know, pam hempel, 69 year old grandmother with cancer. she walked into the capitol. evenen people who were nowherede near the capital on january six were arrested by president biden s justice department. fbi agents put former trumpent n adviser peter navarro in leg irons as he tried to board a flight. they raided former doj official jeffrey clarkes home at seven a.m. in the morning. political weaponization of the doj wasn t limited to in january six , by the way. he was left in his underwear in front of his house. but all this was just a pretext. in april of last year, federal agents raided rudy giuliani s office, has seized his cell phone, took hi computer. in november, the fbi then raided the home of two project veritas jour
counsel, and yet, you know i heard illegal commentators say oh, this is conclusive evidence now of obstruction of justice. in what legal world does that exist? you have to be ignoring the decision, not just the attorneyy general, but the lawyers in thet esteemed office of legal counsel, not to mention all the doj lawyers, whs investigation, and who concluded he did not establish obstruction of justice. sean: gregg, you ve been part of this. you ve been up to your eyeballsa few others. hee question is here, we now have the evidence. there is no ambiguity here, as i ve been saying all night. do you have faith that they can literally charge their own? because that s the big question. matt: i ve met with the attorney general, and i have every confidence that he is
into this story coming out now. but it does strike me that matt whitaker takes over the department of justice, sdny has an active investigation and apparently have some goods and t that it s not an accident that we re learning about this now as they may be worried about what exactly the new acting attorneyy general is going to do.e by leaking this, this is a safeguard if this investigation gets tanked or shut down, at d least in the court of public opinion, the information is out there.in all that being said, i think it s incredibly unlikely that, you know, the prosecutors themselves were the ones that were actually leaking stuff about this investigation. i mean, these are, you know, on pros, they deal with these type of high, sensitive es investigations all the time. i really can t imagine that this kind of leak is coming from the southern district.ne matt, what do you think about this we ve talked a lot about the mueller investigation with respect to matt whitaker. we know his
general, he was responsible during the clinton administration for at the mark e pardon, a guy who evaded taxes. he also went over to could havington and beryling, which is a law firm that defended at this time know detainees, including 17 yemenis, including one which blew himself up and killed american soldiers. then he became attorney general which is amazing to me because frankly, with this resume priorr to becoming attorney general, is no way if he had an r next to his name or if he were white that any republicaney senators would have voted towa approve him for attorneyy general. that s another discussion. is making a lot of money illegal? listen, this is what liberals do. they make it l absolutes, is ito illegal? no, it s unethical and doesn t exactly represent the epitome of jurisprudence when you are making $2 million a year at a law firm representing the enemy combatants at gitmo.
