Everyone, i am laura ingraham, and this is the The Ingraham Angle from washington tonight. China and the fanatics, this is the angle tonight. I wonder whaabt thoue leaders oe Chinese Party think about the theopagebate in United States . After brilliantly deploying propaganda and spying operation inside the u. S. , they must be pleasantly surprised to see bipartisan support to help them protect it. Yes, justrm, like averyst social media platform there isie Privacy Concerns and it is goi important we dont treat tiktok different than other platforms. If we address this issue, we have to take the same approach o see some Media Platforms. We cant just go out one periods be when we most certainly can and should. I when our National Security and t our Election Integrity is at stake, we must act to protect our country. Ensi for decades we are trying to c hiprevent this transfer of technology to our adversaries in china, iran, north korea, russia, so on. It is so bad with china that all g7 Fore
it s an issue that had never really been seriously considered and decided one way or the other before the justice department was confronted with it urgently during the nixon administration. but thanks to this, again, sort of odd series of things happening all at once in the early 70s, the vice president, spiro agnew, maybe going to prison, the president, richard nixon, making being removed from office against his will by impeachment. thanks to those things coming together all at once in a big felonious mess because the american people, in our infinite wisdom, thought it would be a good idea to elect guys that crimy to the white house, twice, thanks to that mess around nixon and agnew, the justice department in the early 70s h 70s 70s, that it was the policy not to bring criminal charges against a sitting president of the united states. that sni like an important landmark moment foran the nixon years. it s never a good sign when your presidency is so crimey, it forces eve
And say if you are in our country illegally, a single crime is too many. Talk about adding outrage to insults. Already breaking our laws, and then committing crimes. And there are an awful lot of crimes committed by people here illegally, and by noncitizens more broadly. The u. S. Sentencing Commission Says 44 of all federal inmates are noncitizens. Thats a huge number. Why wouldnt we be upset by that . Yeah, so, that federal data is only for federal prisoners, as you probably know. Tucker thats right. Federal prisoners account for fewer than 10 of all prisoners in the United States, and thats not representative of other crimes. Ill give you an example in 2016, almost 18,000 Homicide Convictions in the United States, but only 85 through the federal court because they simply dont prosecute homicide. So if you want to take a look nationwide at convictions and incarcerations of people by Immigration Status, thats a much better way to do it. Tucker well, you cant. No. It would be. Hold on,
house in the early 70s, but that rule wasn t really tested at that time. that rule wasn t really tested until almost 50 years down the road, till our time in the history books. hooray for us. it was three years ago, 2019, when special counsel robert mueller completed the report of his investigation into russia interfering in our presidential election in 2016 to help the trump campaign. that was what volume one of mueller s report was about. and then volume two of mueller s report was about obstruction of that investigation, and it laid out in detail steps that trump took as president to try to block that lawful investigation into what russia did in 2016 and how they did it. when mueller turned in that two-volume report to the justice department in 2019, he said basically, you20 know, there s this longstanding written justice department policy that says, we are not supposed to bring charges against a sitting
crime itself beginning with, was it a crime? chris hahn joins us tonight to sort this out. chris, thanks a lot for coming on. any time. tucker: if i had asked you 20 years ago, do you think thatt you would be leading the charge to remove a president from office over his sex life, you20 probably wouldn t have thought you would find yourself here. but let me ask you this if you are approached by someone who says give me money or i will embarrass you, isn t that extortion? it is extortion and i have no problem with the president s sex life. i think only melania should have a problem with it, if she does. but what the president is being accused of is directing michael cohen to commit a federal election crime, which is a felony. if that is true, this is something congress should investigate. tucker: it may or may notot
