are above the law? certainly not. let me tell you something, funny boy. you know that little stamp the one that says new york public library. that may not mean anything to you but that means a lot to me. one whole hell of a lot. none of these rules would matter if there weren t any consequences. it s common sense. but the idea of if you can t do the time don t do the crime is dead. nobody does time anymore. back in 2015, gang banger andrew catch chew gunned a man down during a robbery. the victim was held down onto the ground and shot twice in the back. catch chow was sentenced to 50 years in prison. but because it s california he only served six and got out last fall. fox obtained a jailhouse recording of a phone call between catch chew and his mom. when they found out the soft on crime l.a. district attorney was getting involved george gascon. you know that was? and you know who that was? who is it. gascon s special adviser, oh my god. she has been studying your c

the attack on the capitol. high-ranking lifelong republicans, notable members of the former president s staff, detailing how he watched television as the violent assault unfolded. officials say he never called law enforcement or the pentagon to put an end to the violence. and while video evidence showed rioters hanging on every word from the then-president, we learned that trump initially refused to use the word peace when he finally sent a tweet to that mob. it was the then-vice president, mike pence, who ultimately called in the national guard as rioters were chanting to hang him. previous testimony revealed president trump thought pence, quote, deserved those chants. last night we learned that members of mike pence s security detail called loved ones in the midst of it because they feared they wouldn t make it out of the capitol safe and alive. to hear that was just stunning. and last night republican congressman adam kinzinger wrapped up the hearing with this messag
