laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle from washington. thanks for joining us. they re coming for you, that is the focus of tonight s angle. once a decision was made to go after donald trump using the full force of the federal government, special prosecutor jack smith felt invincible. the ag had full confidence in his ability and the press showered him with endless adulation. we have jack smith, we pursue without fear or favor. he is doing that. his approach to personal health and exercise correlates to how he approaches his prosecution and strategy. laura: they loved him more when they dropped the indictment. jack smith s indictment here is straight-forward and narrow, but boy, it packs a punch, it is clean, calculated and i feel like it almost certainly is going to result in a conviction. the level of specificity and detail was profound. jack smith surgically put together this indictment. laura: for years trump made them feel like wiley coyote, missing his
stop talking politics. nobody turns to you for politics. good night. laura: he has got the nuclear codes. is he going to blow up the world. that takes the cake. all right. raymond, you spy a cultural trend as we move into the holiday season. laura, it seems no corner of the culture is safe crudest and vial behavior small world on sunday while park goers votes. they left his clothes behind oh, god, is he going to break all the stuff. oh my god. is he going to fall, dude the streaker showed just how small his world is. and then he waded out of the ride fully naked, laura.
