trace: i wanted to show this sound bite because this is the attorney general merrick garland and he really didn t say much and take a lot of control and i will a get your final response this, joe. mr. smith and his team of experienced principled career agents and prosecutors have followed the facts and the law wherever they lead. any questions about this matter will have to be answered by the filings made in the courtroom. trace: bottom line like every other case we are not going to answer questions about this. my question is why not provide the exculpatory, president trump saying it s peaceful and patriotic. that stuff wasn t included. what do you think? trace, you know, i understand that the talking point from the white house is say this is independent and we have no comment. honestly i d feel better if they had some comment. no matter how many times they say the special council is independent the fact is he reports to the attorney general
Genuinely believed it even if i m wrong that doesn t make for a criminal violation. trace: the democrats think this is disinformation, right, so what they re saying is the indictment appears to be criminalizing political speech, protected speech. what do you think? yeah, trace, look, i m no a positively gist for donald trump and i am quick to say there are cases like the mar-a-lago case where he has real criminal exposure. but this indictment screams to me as a set of facts that they really wanted to find a way to prosecute so they had to stretch the laws to the breaking point. obviously they did not charge him with the violence because they probably knew that was too far so they re using this combination of fraud obstruction and civil rights laws, none of which i believe would hold up on appeal to the supreme court. it seems like they re pushing the laws to the breaking point and this one i m just calling out like it s keeping the issue in the headlines. i don t think it survives
In the administration of the election. however, the former president remains defiant tonight expressing what his campaign says is righteous indignation. quote, this is nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the biden crime family and their weaponized department of justice to interfere with the 2024 presidential election. in which president trump is the undisputed front runner and leading by substantial margins. president trump is now due to report to court this thursday, august 3rd, right here in dc. should make for a business country news day, trace. trace: and we will cover it in full. kevin corke live for us in dc kevin thank you. let s bring in former deputy assistant attorney general tom dupree and this is jack smith s special council today and we ll get your reaction on the other
Think it s a fair one. watch. by the way, the other thing that is not in here is conspiracy for incitement. not in here is seditious conspiracy. those were the claims the democrats used in the impeachment and said that the evidence was absolutely clear. trace: sometimes things that are omitted, tom, are very telling in an indictment. that is for sure. i mean, to your point, so much of what was not in this indictment really speaks volumes. the other thing that surprised me today, trace, is that the special prosecutor seems very intent on pushing ahead with this case very expeditiously, much faster than the mar-a-lago case. seems like he wants to have a trial and possibly even a conviction and a jury verdict before the election. to me that is excessively ambitious. i don t see how they think they could prepare for this trial, allow president trump to formulate his defense, get it all before a jury all within the span of the next year or so. it seems very unlikely to me. we ll see h
Shows at the park like sea world and someone came on the stage and proposed to the girl and she said oh, no. oh, no. in front of shamoo and everybody. this is a horrible story, there was no engagement, they weren t engaged and to just spring this on someone? you do that for a birthday party. you do that for a retirement party. you don t do it for for a wedding. exactly. trace: so the poll is would you appreciate a surprise wedding, twitter yes. bethany mandel on the show a bit get a restraining order, a woman with no sense of boundaries or respect. turn it into an engagement party and make him buy me a big rock the next day. cassie marie i would get married. i would appreciate the effort he would put in. it would definitely be be a surprise. be a surprise not one a lot
