WHATEVER IT IS.
>> Steve: DULY NOTED.
THANK YOU, SIR, HAVE GREAT DAY.
>> YOU TOO.
>> Brian: BRING IN GREGG JARRETT
FOX NEWS LEGAL ANALYST.
GREG, I SPOKE TO ERIC LAST
NIGHT.
THE FAMILY HAS NOT SEEN THE
AFFIDAVIT.
HAS NOT SEEN THE WARRANT YET.
THEY FLASHED IT TO A LAWYER ON
THE PREMISES.
HOW UNUSUAL IS THAT?
>> NORMALLY THE RECIPIENT WOULD
ONLY SEE THE WARRANT ITSELF.
NOT THE SUPPORTING MATERIALS,
WHICH ARE SWORN AFFIDAVITS BY
FBI OFFICIALS OR OTHERS WHO GIVE
SUSTENANCE TO THE PROBABLE CAUSE
THAT EVIDENCE OF A CRIME EXISTS
AT MAR-A-LAGO AND TRUMP’S
RESIDENCE THERE.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT -- I
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS ALWAYS
A POLICY OF NON-TRANSPARENCY
DURING THE COURSE OF AN
INVESTIGATION.
THIS IS SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARILY
AGGRESSIVE MOVE BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE
FBI THAT I REALLY DO THINK THAT
MERRICK GARLAND DESERVES THE
AMERICAN PUBLIC SOME ANSWERS
TO -- AMERICANS ARE -- THEY CARE
DEEPLY ABOUT FAIRNESS.
THEY HAVE A STRONG MORAL
CHARACTER.
AND THEY FIND REPUB NANT
THUGGISH AUTHORITARIANISM AND
THIS SMACKS OF IT.
>> Ainsley: THEY HATE UNEVEN
JUSTICE.
>> YES.
>> Ainsley: WHAT DO YOU MAKE
ABOUT THIS MAGISTRATE JUDGE NOT
A FEDERAL JUDGE APPOINTED BY A
PRESIDENT OR CONGRESS.
>> RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, IT DOES TROUBLE ME.
WE DON’T HAVE ALL OF THE FACTS.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE WARRANT AND
AFFIDAVITS ARE SEALED BUT IF YOU
LOOK AT THE DOCUMENT, THERE’S NO
IDENTIFICATION OF A REGULAR
FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT JUDGE,
JUST A MAGISTRATE WHO SIGNED ON
TO THIS.
THAT TROUBLES ME.
MAGISTRATES ARE, AS YOU POINT
OUT NOT PRESIDENTIAL
APPOINTMENTS APPROVED BY
CONGRESS.
THEY ARE SIMPLY HIRED BY THE
DISTRICT COURT WHO DO THE MENIAL
GRUNT WORK.
>> Ainsley: LIKE WHAT?
>> MINOR DISPUTE, BAIL HEARINGS.
MISDEMEANORS, I MEAN, THEY DO
EVERYTHING EXCEPT UNCLOG THE
TOILETS AND EMPTY THE TRASH
CANS.
I DON’T THINK THEY ARE QUALIFIED
REALLY AND CAN BE EASILY FOOLED
BY A BUNCH OF GUYS FROM THE FBI
IN SUITS FLASHING BADGES PLEASE
SIGN HERE.
THAT WORRIES ME.
THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE, BUT IT
KIND OF LOOKS LIKE IT.
>> Ainsley: WHY WOULD THE CIA GO
TO SOMEONE LOW LEVEL?
>> BECAUSE IT’S EASY.
BECAUSE THEY CAN BE SNOOKERED.
YOU KNOW, MAGISTRATES DO SIGN
OFF ON IT BUT NORMALLY A FEDERAL
JUDGE, DISTRICT COURT JUDGE IS
INVOLVED WITH OVERSIGHT,
ESPECIALLY IN SOMETHING THIS
IMPORTANT.
NOW, I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS
DISPUTE WITH THE NATIONAL
ARCHIVES SIMPLY A PRETEXT TO GO
IN THERE, GRAB EVERYTHING, AND
AN INVESTIGATION IN SEARCH OF A
CRIME, WHICH IS WRONG.
>> Steve: RIGHT.
WE SHOULD KNOW SOON BECAUSE
APPARENTLY THAT MAGISTRATE GAVE
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE UNTIL
MONDAY TO START REVEALING STUFF.
SO, WE WILL STAY TUNED.
MEANWHILE AT THE BEGINNING I AM
SURE YOU SAW HUNTER BIDEN HAS
JETTED OFF TO KEY WITH A ISLAND
FOR A WEEK VACATION.
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING NONSTOP.
THEYSOME PEOPLE SAYING IT’S SO
IRONIC.
HUNTER BIDEN WHO THE ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST HIM ARE MANY AND YET WE
HAVEN’T REALLY HEARD OF ANY
PROGRESS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE IN PROSECUTING THE CASE
AGAINST HIM IT LOOKS LIKE OKAY,
THEY GO IN AND THEY GRAB STUFF
DURING THE EXECUTION OF THE
SEARCH WARRANT AT MAR-A-LAGO.
WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GO INTO
HUNTER BIDEN’S HOUSE?
>> YEAH.
ISN’T IT INTERESTING THAT THERE
HAS BEEN NO RAID OF HILLARY
CLINTON’S CHAPPAQUA HOME AFTER
SHE STOLE GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS,
VIOLATED THE ESPIONAGE ACT AND
DESTROYED MORE THAN 30,000
DOCUMENTS SHE WAS TOLD TO
PROTECT BY CONGRESS.
NOBODY RAIDED JAMES COMEY’S HOME
AFTER HE STOLE GOVERNMENT
DOCUMENTS FROM THE FBI BUILDING
AND ADMITTEDLY LEAKED THEM TO
THE FBI.
>> Brian: TO LAUNCH A PROBE.
AND WE GOT THE MUELLER REPORT.
>> THAT’S RIGHT.
AND, AS YOU BRING UP, STEVE,
WHAT ABOUT HUNTER BIDEN?
A TROVE OF INCRIMINATING
INFORMATION ON HIS LAPTOP AND
NOBODY HAS, YOU KNOW, CONDUCTED
A RAID OF HIS FANCY MALIBU HOME
IN SEARCH OF OTHER EVIDENCE.
IT MAKES AMERICANS, I THINK,
WONDER ABOUT EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER
THE LAW, THIS CHERISHED
PRINCIPLE IN OUR CONSTITUTION.
>> Steve: AND THEN IT SEEMS
POLITICAL.
>> YES.
IT DOES SEEM POLITICAL.
I THINK THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE MERRICK GARLAND NEEDS TO
PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS ABOUT THAT
AS WELL.
>> Brian: "NEWSWEEK" SAYS THIS
WHOLE RAID WAS BASED ON
INFORMATION FROM AN FBI
CONFIDENTIAL HUMAN SOURCE THAT
SOMEHOW WAS INSIDE MAR-A-LAGO.
SO, A MOLE INSIDE THE TRUMP TEAM
DID IT.
ONE OF THE ROOMS THEY BROKE
INTO.
THE FBI ASKED HIM TO PUT A LOCK
ON THAT ROOM BECAUSE THAT’S
WHERE THE RECORDS WERE IN
DISPUTE.
THEY BREAK THE LOCK AND ACT LIKE
THAT’S A SCANDAL THAT THEY ASKED
HIM TO PUT ON.
>> AFTER THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
PEDDLED A PHONY RUSSIA COLLUSION
HOAX FOR THE BETTER PART OF
THREE YEARS.
I WROTE GO BOOKS ABOUT IT I GOT
IT RIGHT.
THEY GOT IT WRONG.
SO FORGIVE ME IF I DON’T TRUST
"NEWSWEEK" AND THE BH MED THEY
ARE CITING ANONYMOUS SOURCES.
>> Ainsley: I FORGIVE YOU.
WRAY SHOULD HAVE GONE IN AND
GOTTEN RID OF BAD APPLES IN THE
FBI.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW THERE
IS DISTRUST WITH WHAT USED TO BE
SUCH AN AMAZING AGENCY.
AGENTS THAT ARE WONDERFUL.
BAD APPLES.
THE VAST -- WHAT BAD APPLES?
>> Brian: ON MSNBC AND NBC AS
TRIBUTERS.
>> WHISTLEBLOWERS IDENTIFIED
SENIOR OFFICIALS AT THE FBI WHO
WERE FALSELY PORTRAYING HUNTER
BIDEN’S LAPTOP AS RUSSIAN
DISINFORMATION AND HIDING
INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE SEALING
THEM IN A FILE THAT ONLY THEY
HAD ACCESS TO.
I THINK THAT DISTURBS MOST
AMERICANS WHEN THEY HEAR THAT I
HAVE WRITTEN IN MY MOST RECENT
COLUMN THAT I DON’T FEEL AS
THOUGH CHRISTOPHER WRAY, THE FBI
DIRECTOR, IS INTERESTED IN
CLEANING UP THE CESSPOOL IN THE
SENIOR MANAGEMENT AT THE FBI.
HE SEEMS MORE INTERESTED IN
COVERING UP EVIDENCE OF
MALFEASANCE AND MISFEASANCE.
THE WORST IS, I THINK MERRICK
GARLAND, WHO HAS PROVEN TO BE --
I’M SORRY TO SAY A POLITICAL
TODAYY WHO IS BREADTH OF
REPRESENT TUESDAY --
>> Steve: AMERICA WOULD LIKE TO
TALK TO HIM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
THAT WAS ALL ABOUT.
>> YOU SHOULD TALK TO HIM ABOUT
IT.
>> Steve: MR. ATTORNEY GENERAL
IF YOU ARE WATCHING, CALL US WE
WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON "FOX &
FRIENDS."
>> I AM GOING TO BE ON HILTON
HEAD ISLAND NEXT TO KIA MAYBE I
CAN STOP OVER AND SEE HUNTER AND
JOE.
>> Ainsley: GREETED BY LET’S GO
BRANDON SIGNS.
>> AND HE STILL HAVE NO CLUE
