forcefully. but to try to criminalize that, that s a different issue entirely. and i think that we we want to be in a situation where you don t have one side just constantly trying to put the other side in jail. and that, unfortunately, is what we re seeing now. i m not convinced that the president acting on the bad advice of a group of crank lawyers in the days that come into the white house on january 6th is actually criminal. and the truth is the justice department has lost the confidence of the american people, and there s so many americans that are deeply concerned about unequal treatment under the law when it comes to standards not only for the former president but other republicans and conservatives in the countries. yes, i still believe that the doj is, in fact, weaponizing the
hope it doesn t come to that. i m not convinced that the president acting on bad advice of a group of crank lawyers that came into the white house in the days before january 6 is actually criminal. and that part, trying to claim trump may have just been led as stray by as he called it crank lawyers, what do you make of that? yeah, the select committee was very deliberate in speaking to campaign advisers, senior advisors respect the white house counsel, all the folks around trump who told him that he lost the election and also we have testimony that shows that he knew he lost the election. he both said it and took actions that showed that he knew he lost that election. when it comes to the former vice president s words about him not knowing about mike pence s role in january 6, we also know that to be not true because john eastman said that he
that he is now a target in that other probe of jack smith s, the federal election interference investigation. listen. you have a situation where the department of justice, fbi, have been weaponized. i want to focus on looking forward. i don t want to look back. i don t want to see him, i hope he doesn t get charged. i still believe that the doj is in fact weaponizing the tools of our country against their political opponents. i m not convinced that the president acting on bad advice of a group of crank lawyers that came into the white house in the days before january 6 is actually criminal. is now the time for the candidates to speak up or does it serve them better to sit back and wait and see where the chips fall? i think for many viewers, if you were to apply a moral test or patriotic test, it is long
letter on tuesday. let s take a listen. i m not convinced that the president acting on bad advice of a group of crank lawyers that came into the white house in the days before january 6 is actually criminal. i still believe that the doj is in fact weaponizing the tools of our country against their political opponents. i think that it was shown how he was in the white house and didn t do anything while things were going on. she have come out more forcefully. so it seems as though desantis may be coming the closest to criticizing trump. is this something that could be turning or is this a oneoff? i think that desantis critics would say that he could have said that more forcefully in terms of criticizing trump. look, i don t think that this
throwing the bulwark in. you re very good at this. i got to play some sound here. this is the thing. there are other people who are actually running for office, charles. there are other republicans who are pretending they re not just going to be chum to the sort of trump shark campaign. i want to play you sound from that and get your thoughts on the other side. i m not convinced that the president acting on bad advice of a group of crank lawyers that came into the white house in the days before january 6th is actually criminal. and secondly, the truth is the department of justice has lost the confidence of the american people. i hope he doesn t get charged. i don t think it will be good for the country. we ve gone down the road in this country of trying to criminalize differences in politics. they are hunting republicans. and that is weaponizing the doj. now, charles, i usually ignore anything that former vice president renfield says, you know, given his whole life is
