by Julie Kelly As I've explained in interviews and columns for over a year, DOJs looming indictment against Trump for January 6 poses tremendous legal jeopardy to the former president. Why? Because DOJs 2 1/2 year-record of success in prosecuting more than 1,000 individuals for even minimal par
i mean that s one of the most ridiculous answers i ve heard. in this race so far. you don t have an opinion about january six? except to say i didn t particularly enjoy what happens? people were killed! i would say it s one of the most disgraceful days in american history, and that the president was principally responsible for it. joe, what s your reaction to that exchange? chris, look, chrissy is spot on, lucy. what a horrible cowardly, emphasize that, what a cowardly answer by ron desantis! look, here s that deal with all these republicans. the field is huge, not because of any weakness they feel about donald trump, a bunch of republicans got into this race because ron desantis is a horribly week number two! so they re all in hoping maybe something, eventually, takes trump out. and they think they can be the alternative to trump, because desantis is an incredibly weak
putin, et cetera. are you surprised he s decided to take on trump now? i m actually not surprised. i think that a pence run for the presidency is something he s a long time waited andmented. away will be interesting is i saw pence take on trump very privately on issues that mattered to him, i witnessed that, and i was grateful for it at times,s personally on matters of iran and the national security especially, it will be interesting to see if he s willing too take on trump publicly, which he has failed to do. now is the time to do that. chris christie is a bull in the china shop calling trump out. if pence wants to gain traction, he s going to have to explain a lot of these policies that he was a part of. he s going to have to differentuate himself on how he s different than trump. and that s going to be hard for him. he s not traditionally a man
two years ago, trump lit a violent attempt to overthrow an american election, and he remains the cult leader. look, this is still his party, he was always going to be the nominee, and pence and haley and desantis, charles, all of these candidates getting in, they don t really believe they can beat trump. and in fact, most of them won t try to beat trump. what they are all hoping for is that the justice system will take trump out, and then they will be standing there as an alternative. ameshia, president biden s incumbent status gives him a crucial advantage. he has no real serious primary challenges. how can he use this advantage to influence the republican primary in a way that best positions him for the general? i think he gives speeches like the one he gave last night, where he talks about the victories that he has made for
having trump ruin their institutional power for another four years and i think we need to break it down to that base level to see what they did and why did they do it? one, they wanted trump out, but, two, there are no consequences to anybody on the left for doing that. can you think of one prosecution that any of those people who did anything to trump with the russian collusion narrative has been put through? i ll wait. i don t know. and that s the problem. if there s no consequences to the upper levels, there s no consequences to the criminals on the streets in new york city. our country is descending into chaos and it s wrong. greg: you know what? they act like it s god s work, kat. even though they knew it was wrong like that dude peter strobing, you know, the insurance policy dude. it s like, oh, we re doing the right thing so we ll be rewarded somewhere. kat? yeah, just sucks all the rest of us got to do all of our debates and arguments on our o own. you know? greg: yeah. y
