ONE OF THE PRODUCERS OF A
MICHELLE OBAMA DOCUMENTARY.
JOINING ME NOW IS MOLLIE
HEMINGWAY EDITOR AND CHIEF AT
THE FEDERALIST AND FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR AND STEVEN MILLER
FORMER SENIOR ADVISOR TO
PRESIDENT TRUMP AND AMERICA FIRST LEGAL FOUNDER.
FIRST LEGAL FOUNDER.
MOLLIE, THE LEFT’S RULES ARE NO
RECUSE AL EVER.
>> RIGHT, THE LEFT SAYS IF THEY
HAVE A SPOUSE THAT IS
COMPROMISED NO RECUSAL AT ALL
BUT ANYONE WHO’S A CONSERVATIVE
WHO’S INVOLVED UNTIL LAW OR
JUSTICE YOU HAVE TO RECUSE.
HERE WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE
THE SPOUSE OF THIS PERSON IS A
DONOR, IS AN ACTIVIST.
BUT EVEN MORE THAN THAT, WE KNOW
THAT THIS PERSON, HIMSELF, WAS
INVOLVED IN THE IRS SCANDAL.
HE WAS INVOLVED IN PROSECUTING
THE FORMER GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA
WHO WAS WIDELY CONSIDERED TO BE
A PRESIDENTIAL CONTENDER,
PROSECUTING HIM.
THAT CONVICTION WAS OVERTURNED
BY THE SCORE 9-0.
I MEAN, THIS IS SOMEONE WHO, IF
YOU WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT SEEM
LIKE THIS WAS ABOVE BOARD, YOU
REALLY COULD NOT HAVE DONE A
WORSE JOB PICKING SOMEONE.
>> Laura: STEVEN SPEAKING OF
SMITH, I’M GETTING SOME EARLY
DAYS OF MUELLER VIBES HERE.
CHECK THIS OUT.
>> HE’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
POLITICAL INDEPENDENT WE ARE
TOLD AND WILL WORK THIS CASE
WITHOUT FEAR OR FAR.
>> HE’S NOT SOMEONE WHO’S GOING
TO WASTE ANY TIME HAMMERING OVER
THE SIDE SHOWS.
>> GIVEN HIS SKILL AND TENACITY
AND HE’S KNOWN FOR BEING REALLY
FAST AND CUTTING TO THE CHASE.
>> Laura: OKAY, THE TURTLENECK
DOESN’T HELP WITH THE
CREDIBILITY THERE.
STEVEN, WASN’T THIS PREDICTABLE?
>> HE’S SO SKILLED LAURA, AND SO
TENACIOUS.
DID I HEAR THAT HE’S REGISTERED
AS AN INDEPENDENT?
UNBELIEVABLE.
LOOK, LAURA, THE BOTTOM LINE IS,
THE TOP LEVELS OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE ARE DEMOCRATS.
WE HAVE SEEN THIS OVER AND OVER
AGAIN.
DOJ AT THE CAREER LEVEL IS RUN
BY DEMOCRATS, THIS HE PROTECT
EACH OTHER, THEY WATCH OUT FOR
EACH OTHER, THEY TAKE CARE OF
EACH OTHER.
THAT’S WHY ALL THE LEAKS DO ONLY
ONE THING, HURT REPUBLICANS,
THAT’S WHY ALL THE SPIN ONLY
HELPS ONE GROUP, DEMOCRATS.
THAT’S WHY ALL THE POLITICAL
PROSECUTIONS ARE TARGETED IN ONE
DIRECTION, TRUMP AND
REPUBLICANS.
THAT’S WHY PRO LIFERS GO TO JAIL
AND THAT’S WHY PRO ABORTION
TERRORISTS DON’T GO TO JAIL.
WE ARE WITNESSING THE DEMISE OF
THE RULE OF LAW IN THIS COUNTRY.
>> Laura: MOLLIE, I THINK IT’S
SO BAD ON SO MANY LEVELS, AND
IT’S A HUGE MISTAKE FOR THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AT A TIME
WHERE THEY SAY THEY WANT TO
RETURN TO NORMAL ORDER, UPHOLD
INSTITUTIONS, REPUBLICANS AND
CONSERVATIVES AND WHACKY MAGA
PEOPLE WERE TRYING TO DISRUPT
THE PROCESS ON JANUARY 6TH.
BUT THEY’RE THE GREAT DISRUPTERS
BECAUSE NOBODY BELIEVES THAT
THIS GUY IS GOING TO BE WITHOUT
FEAR OR FAVOR.
I’M SO TIRED OF THAT PHRASE,
TOO.
>> RIGHT.
IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE IF THEY
WERE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY MEMBERS
OF CORPORATE PRESS.
BUT IF WE TAKE IT BACK A FEW
YEARS, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT A
FORMER PRESIDENT WHO WAS
PERSECUTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE.
YOU HAD FBI AGENTS FALSIFYING
EVIDENCE TO SECURE A WIRE TAP TO
SPY ON HIS CAMPAIGN.
>> Laura: FISA COURT.
>> YOU HAD YEARS OF THESE
POLITICIZED LEAKS.
YOU HAVE HAD JUST REALLY
REMARKABLY HORRIBLE BEHAVIOR.
ALL OF THE DECISIONS MADE BY
MERRICK GARLAND AND HIS
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE THROUGHOUT
THIS BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAVE
BEEN REALLY NOT APPROPRIATE
GIVEN THAT PAST THAT’S THERE.
THERE IS NO REASON WHY ANYBODY
SHOULD HAVE ANY MODICUM OF TRUST
IN WHAT THEY’RE DOING AND THEY
DON’T SEEM TO CARE.
THEY’RE JUST FLAUNTING IT AT
THIS POINT.
>> Laura: I NEED TO GET BOTH OF
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS.
AN OHIO MAN WHO STOLE BOURBON
AND A COAT RACK DURING THE
CAPITOL RIOT JUST GOT THREE
YEARS IN PRISON.
THAT’S TWICE AS LONG AS THAT
LEFTY LAWYER WHO FIRE BOMBED THE
NYPD PATROL CAR WITH THAT
MOLOTOV COCKTAIL DURING THE
GEORGE FLOYD RIOT.
STEVEN, THREE YEARS.
>> NO QUESTION THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS BEING
USED TO SEND A MESSAGE AT ONLY
ONE GROUP OF AMERICANS, AND THAT
IS CONSERVATIVES.
WE’VE SEEN THIS THROUGHOUT THE
JANUARY 6TH CASES, BUT IN
PARTICULAR WHEN YOU COMPARE
THAT, WHEN YOU COMPARE IT TO
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH STREET
CRIMINALS IN THIS COUNTRY, WITH
BLM RIOTERS IN THIS COUNTRY,
WITH ANTIFA TERRORISTS IN THIS
COUNTRY, WITH PEOPLE WHO TRY TO
MURDER POLICE OFFICERS IN THIS
COUNTRY, WITH THE REVOLVING DOOR
OF JUSTICE WHERE YOU CAN ATTACK
AND ASSAULT AND MAIM, AND YOU
CAN EVEN MURDER, AND YOU WILL BE
SET FREE IN THIS COUNTRY.
THERE IS NOT AND HAS NOT BEEN
FOR A LONG TIME A SINGLE UNIFORM
STANDARD OF JUSTICE WHICH IS
WHAT WE DESPERATELY NEED.
>> Laura: MOLLIE, WHAT’S BEEN
DONE TO SOME OF THESE
JANUARY 6TH DEFENDANTS, PRETRIAL
DETENTION FOR 20 MONTHS?
I’M NOT SAYING WHAT THEY DID WAS
GREAT BUT 20 MONTHS OF PRETRIAL
DETENTION.
>> IT’S DESPICABLE.
>> Laura: NO REPUBLICANS ARE
SPEAKING ABOUT IT, LAUREN
BOEBERT AND MARJORIE TAYLOR
GREENE BUT VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE
TALKING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE.
>> THIS IS AFTER 2020 THAT SAW
RIOTS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY,
ATTACKS ON THE WHITE HOUSE,
FEDERAL COURTHOUSES STATUS AND
MONUMENTS.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WAS
UNINTERESTED IN PROSECUTING
THAT, THEY HAVE SPENT MORE MONEY
AND BEEN MORE TENACIOUS IN GOING
AFTER THESE PEOPLE.
SOME OF WHOM -- ALL POLITICAL
VIOLENCE IS BAD, SOME PEOPLE
WERE LET INTO THE CAPITOL AND
REPUBLICANS ARE SCARED TO TALK
ABOUT IT.
THAT IS A VERY BAD SIGN BECAUSE
IT’S REALLY IMPORTANT TO BE
HONEST ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON
HERE ABOUT THE RULE OF LAW AND
HOW MUCH IS BEING -- HOW MUCH WE
HAVE TWO STANDARDS OF JUSTICE SO
A VERY BIG PROBLEM.
>> Laura: YEAH, CRIME SHOULD BE
PROSECUTED BUT IT SHOULDN’T BE
