This is the Ingraham Angle and thanks as always for being with us tonight. Forcing fanis hand. Thats the focus of tonights angle. Today fani willis lost her special prosecutor, her credibility and any hope for a political future. And Democrats Dream Of Drowning Donald Trump in a flood of legal cases is not working out like they had hoped. And now they are the ones caught in the undertow. The technical win for Fulton CountyDistrict Attorney fani willis massive indictment on her behavior. It is a slap to the head to the prosecutor but not a fatal knockdown punch. Its highly unlikely this will start before the election. This really did help the trump team not only in terms of delaying it but also in undermining the credibility of the overall Justice System and the prosecutions against trump. Laura judge scott mcafee didnt take the entire load off fani. He didnt flat out disqualify her from the Election Interference case but the ruling handed down today was filled with bad news for the Fulton County d. A. And it was good news for trump and his codefendants. Let me count the ways on this friday night. First, citing willis romantic relationship with her special prosecutor, nathan wade, the judge found a significant appearance of impropriety that infects the current structure of the prosecution team. So whatever happens Going Forward, right; the entire d. A. s Office Proceeds with a major black eye. Second, because willis dug her heels in and filed step aside from the case when her and wades relationship came public, the judge had to force her hand. She was ordered to either fire nathan wade or she and her entire Prosecutorial Team had to resign from the case. Now, late today, wade announced his resignation. Third, the judge gave a striking rebuke to willis overall conduct. Although the judge gave her of the option of staying on if she dumped wade, he made clear this finding is by no means an indication that the court condones this tremendous lapse in judgment or the unprofessional manner of the District Attorneys testimony during the evidentiary hearing. Now, willis did not do herself any favors and we talked about this at the time, when she marched to the stand on februar. You think im on trial. These people are on trial for trying to steal an election in 2020. Im not on trialing no matter how hard you try to put me on trial. Im not going to emasculate a black man but im just telling you, what . Im not going to emasculate a black man. Did you understand that. I dont think we should discuss it further. Next question . Trying to, your honor. Judge may have been overly patient with willis during the hearing. He has it had it with her grandstanding. Fourth, judge mcafee thought Willis Church speech was way out of bounds. I appointed three Special Counsel as is my right to do. Paid them all the same hourly rate. They only attacked one. I hired one black man, another superstar, a great friend and a great lawyer. Oh, lord, they are going to be mad when i call them out on this nonsense. First thing they say oh, she is going to play the race card now. But no, god, isnt it them who is playing the race card when they only question one. Laura on those remarks judge mcafee wrote the effect of this speech was to cast racial aspersions at an indicted defendants decision to file this pretrial motion. And although the judge didnt conclude that the speech actually denied defendants right to a fair trial, he described it as legally improper. A d. A. With basic common sense and respect for ethics would never have given that speech fifth, the judge opened the door to granting a gag order against willis in this case. This is my favorite. He warned the d. A. Not to weigh further into the dangerous waters that she created. The time may well have arrived for an order preventing the state from mentioning the case in any public forum to prevent prejudicial pretrial publicity. Holy moly gagging fani. Now, i would have loved to have been a Fly On The Wall when she read that section of the opinion. I dont know, she is probably crying racism or maybe she made i dont know, nathan take her to lunch. I hope she paid since he is out of a job now faces of get donald trump media types told the tale today. Lawfare strategy failing and they are worried. He is used it to advantage as you know. His polling has gone up with every court appearance. We saw him in florida didnt need to be just yesterday. So, now, this is more, you know, more help for him in this political campaign. Laura even as they see these cases back firing, they are still banking on a jury saving them from a second trump term. Even after the election. This case if it goes to trial will be on television every day. Only case that will. It is one should he become president he cannot do anything about because its a state case. If there is any sort of a conviction. If a jury actually convicts him in one of these cases ongoing here, if that could somehow shift Public Opinion in some way, but the longer these trials get delayed, the less likely it seems that there would be an end in one of these cases before the election takes place. Laura i mean, they are so desperate. All this goes to show that the democrats still have no real agenda to run on. They certainly have no track record of successful to post bot about. All they can do is hope to be saved by trump conviction, even if he becomes president. Unbelievable. Otherwise agenda summed up by the acronym wart. Wart. Weed, abortion, race, and transgenderism. How inspiring. And thats the angle. All right. Joining me now jonathan turley, George Washington all right law professor. Great to see you tonight. One of my favorite lines from judge mcafees ruling. Neither side was able to exclusively establish by a preponderance of the evidence when the relationship between willis and wade evolved into a romantic one. However an odor of mendacity remains. Okay . That pretty much sums it up, professor, taint. How can an impartial jury actually be selected now . Thats a very good question you need a Tennessee Williams to give it the right southern goted thick flair. Stunning opinion and disconnect because he clearly did not believe nathan wade and many people believe nathan wade committed perjury. But these two essentially testified in tandem she adopted his testimony so if he lied she pretty much lied the same way. They both maintained relationship after hired. Held a unified front. I think that what the judge was trying to do in giving these two options to wade was to gently give a third option to willis. And that option is to remove yourself, take the ethical course. And i think thats very clear in his opinion. Nobody reading this opinion with these damning findings could possibly believe that willis can continue to be part of this case she is prosecuting people for the underlining conduct accused committing. False statements given to a court. False filings that have been submitted. How could she possibly continue that without damaging her case . But the problem is that she has had this opportunity to take the high road. Repeatedly. And she clearly had never wanted to do that and this will be probably her last chance to do the right thing and to remove herself. Well, just as a matter of her own selfinterest at this point, you would think she would. But she is quite defiant, as you saw in her testimony in that evidentiary hearing and she is quite indignant about the whole thing. You almost get the sense, professor, that she would think that was handing the Trump Team Just a huge victory even if the case obviously would go on to another, you know, another Prosecutorial Team. And she doesnt want to do that in the end she does step aside . Best thing for trump, maybe continued. She is damaged goods. Etch Time Associated with this case reminds people of a rather dubious were most importantly personal interest ahead of the office. Ahead of the interest of the case certainly ahead the interest of the people of Fulton County. This is going to get a lot more sporty Going Forward for her and wade. You know, is he accused of lying on the stand. She could you seed of professional misconduct. There is going to be proceedings unfolding, they are going to be witnesses for the accused in some of those proceedings if they do go forward, to be able to do that and maintain this case is rather ludicrous. When she said conduct was legally improper, jonathan then is he says he was inviting the defendant, trump and his codefendants, to file a motion for a gag order against the state. I dont think i have ever seen a judge ever do that ever. That, to me warnings was striking. Am i misreading that . No, you are not. The only thing more strike something to see some of these networks that just previously praised her for her performance on the stand. People said well, this is what you get for putting a good lawyer on the stand. A lot of us were just flummoxed. What we saw was not good lawyering. And the judge clearly agreed with most of us and said that was an incredibly unprofessional effort on the stand as a witness. And so suddenly today, you have all these same people saying you know, she is dacaed goods, she has got to go. The point is that for people that want to s see this as a Tae Down For Trump major liability. She has few friends left they are pushing as you heard in some of that Media Commentary the possibility that if trump is elected president , then the trial can continue maybe in late november or christmas time. January. And then they are going to get trump. What are the prospects of that . Well, you have to keep in mind that were not even in the weeds yet of the trial. We havent even gotten into the fact that this is one of the weakest and most bizarre racketeering cases i have seen. I mean. Laura ever. There was very little connection, right, between these 18 or 10 defendants. Equities september political views and loose alliances. Put this together. This thing is so thin and it got a lot thinner with the dropping of these recent counts. But they still have to somehow prove this Racketeering Theory which is going to face serious appellate review even if they can get jurors to sign off on it. Yeah, they should just cut their losses. Biden should just come out and say, you know, lets end this lawfare. Lets have a real campaign. If his people were a lot smarter at this point, thats what he would do. But they are not going to do it. Jonathan, so great to see you tonight. Thanks so much. All right. If campaigning at Abortion Clinic wasnt mccob enough. Now kamala is pushing pot.

Trying to be cool, especially with cannabis. Have you ever smoked . I have. And i inhaled. I did inhale. [laughter] [laughter] it was a long time ago. It was joint. Hey. Laura wow, shes cool. She did such a good job as the Border Czarena now she is the administrations weed warrior as well. Desperate to smoke out the youth vote which may be drifting toward trump. Harris convened a propot round table at the white house. Kentucky governor andy beshear and prominent rapper fat joe they were there to hash out all the details of what the white house is calling marijuana reform. We have directed the department of health and Human Services and the Department Of Justice reassess how marijuana is classified under the federal drug schedule. And i cannot emphasize enough that they need to get to it as quickly as possible. I can see the Bumper Sticker now. Bidenharris, numb and dumber. Joining me now is sean duffy cohost of fbn The Bottom Line and dr. Marc siegel. That laugh of hers, kamala always sounds high to me. But, seriously, will this really blunt trumps momentum . Bad pun. I think people care more about the economy and their prospects and jobs. But you should aspire as a leader i want people to have a job and have a family and be selfreliant as opposed to i want them depressed, i want them high and i want to be able to control them through policies that get people hooked on drugs. We should aspire for greater than drug use. And im sure dr. Siegel is going to talk about this. But the psychosis that goes along with cannabis use with young adults and the mental impediments that come to kids who use drugs is very real my concern, laura, we used to be a christian nation. We used to have morality. And the fact we are sliding into this payingism we are pushing abortion and drug use so people are to your point numb and dumb is outrageous. More people have to stand up and push back against these ridiculous policies. Laura dr. Siegel i think you and i and a few others have been on this issue for a long, long time. We are not very cool sometimes when we are on this issue. But im thinking of the good people of kentucky when with andy beshear there. And im thinking how can they think this is a good thing as sean just alluded to. This study that Recreational Cannabis used by linked to expression and suicides and suicidal id situation. Why is this in any way something we should be encouraging right now with all the other problems we have in society or is that the point . Well, i think thats the point on their side and by the way, you only left out one thing with sean was focusing on when he was in congress in 2018. Which is marijuana is a gateway drug and at a time when we have a huge Fentanyl Problem going across the border. By the way, pot is sometimes laced with fentanyl. And, yes, teens have issues with anxiety due to pot. Its been proven there are developmental delays in infants when pregnant women smoke pot. Theres a new study as you know that pot is toxic to the heart to the lungs it definitely Cannabis Induced Psychosis which sean was pointed out legal, even more elicit use. The idea of relaxing and by the way give you a nod, laura, to something you did. You made a medical diagnosis. I thought the same thing when i saw that gig beginning going on there maybe last week when we were on. You had someone on you said did you get high right before you come on . I want to know what the Vice President was giggling about there. Laura yeah. It was a couple years back. Not everybody in washington, guys is, on board with bidens pot push. The Wall Street Journal report describes how many federal officials in the dea think that more research is needed about marijuanas Long Term Health effects, sean. We now know the link to strokes and heart damage, Heart Attacks with regular weed use and when its more you know, destill that advertised among adults, what happens is that kids think its cool, too . And they do it. More than they did the in past. Its a different level of thc obviously as well. Right. Way stronger than the marijuana of the 70s and the 60s, no doubt. But, you make a really good point organic and natural smoke it as opposed to i was a prosecutor, laura, if someone had a wrapping this around criminal justice. If i was a criminal prosecutor somebody had a dime bag i cited them city citation. If you had a pound of marijuana and selling that, yeah that, was a different story. To say think that we are criminalizing marijuana by someone who has personal use amounts in their possession is absolutely false. And they are trying to change our perceptions of marijuana through aggressive prosecution. When thats not the case. Good prosecutors dont do that this is way to get, again, its about keeping people high and on drugs so they cant recognize that the country is falling apart. There is no jobs, no opportunity and prices keep going up and if youre numb and dumb and you are stoned out, you are going to be okay with that as opposed to someone who is cognizant and looking at what joe biden has done to their family and economy. Hell no, i want someone else. Laura,. Laura welcome
