President Trump attorney John Lauro appears on Face the Nation with Major Garrett to discuss and debate the Biden administration’s criminal prosecution of President Trump for contesting the results of the 2020 election. Toward that latter part of the interview, Garrett needs to enhance his leftist bona fides with a strawman argument about the 2016 election outcome. Lauro handles Garrett’s narrative engineering very well. [Video and Transcript Below] WATCH:
MAJOR GARRETT: We go now to John Lauro, one of former President Trump’s lawyers. He joins us now from New York. John, good morning to you. I want to let you know that we spoke with former Vice President–
JOHN LAURO: –Good morning
MAJOR GARRETT: –Mike Pence and asked him specifically about your assertions made this last week that all the President did was asked him to pause the certification on January 6, 2021. He told me flatly, quote, “That’s not what happened.” Your response?
LAURO: That’s not- that’s not what I said, though, but that’s okay.
MAJOR GARRETT: What- what is it that you believe happened between the President and the Vice President? And do you have any fear of the Vice President being called as a witness in the case?
LAURO: No, in fact, the Vice President will be our best witness. What I said is the ultimate ask of Vice President Pence was to pause the count and allow the states to weigh in. That was my statement, and what- what I’ve said is consistent with what Vice President Pence is saying. The reason why Vice President Pence will be so important to the defense is the following, number one. Number two, he agrees that there were election irregularities, fraud, unlawful actions at the state level, all of that will- will eviscerate any allegation of criminal intent on the part of President Trump. And finally, what Vice President Pence believes and believed is that these issues needed to be debated on January 6. He openly called for all of these issues to be debated and objected to in the January 6 proceeding. President Trump, on the other hand, believed following the advice of John Eastman, who’s the legal scholar, that these issues needed to be debated at the state level, not the federal level. Now, of course, there was a constitutional disagreement between Vice President Pence and President Trump, but the bottom line is never- never in our country’s history has those kinds of disagreements been prosecuted criminally. It’s- It’s unheard of.
MAJOR GARRETT: John, can I ask you a couple of very simple basic yes or no questions? Is there- first, is there any condition under which the former president of the United States, your client, would accept a plea deal on these January 6 charges?
LAURO: No.
MAJOR GARRETT: Will you seek a motion to dismiss?
LAURO: Absolutely, 100 percent.
MAJOR GARRETT: When?
LAURO: Hundred percent. Well, within the time permitted. This is what’s called a Swiss cheese indictment. It has so many holes that we’re going to be identifying and litigating a number of- of motions that we’re going to file on First Amendment grounds, on the fact that President Trump is immune as president from- from being prosecuted in this way.
MAJOR GARRETT: Do you-do you have a ballpark figure of when you’ll be ready for trial?
LAURO: Well, I can tell you that in 40 years of practicing law, on a case of this magnitude, I’ve not known a single case to go to trial before two or three years.
MAJOR GARRETT: Understood. Are you still going to pursue a change of venue?
LAURO: Absolutely, we would like a diverse venue, a diverse jury.
MAJOR GARRETT: Do you have an expectation that will be granted?
LAURO: That reflects the- the- the characteristics of the American people. It’s up to the judge. I think West Virginia would be an excellent venue to try this case–
MAJOR GARRETT: — Speaking of the judge
LAURO: — very close to D.C. and a much more diverse–
MAJOR GARRETT: — Understood. Speaking of the judge’ earlier this week, your client, the former president, on his social media platform, said ‘The judge is unfair’, On what basis did he say that?
LAURO: Well, the problem with bringing a case like this in the middle of a campaign season, is statements are going to be made in the context of a campaign. We expect a fair and just trial in the District of Columbia. And- and my role- my role is simply to ensure that President Trump’s rights, just like every American’s rights, are protected every step of the way, and I’m going to do that.
MAJOR GARRETT: You mentioned discovery. In the protective order back and forth between you and the prosecutors, it says, the prosecution, that discovery will be provided, quote, ‘As soon as possible, including certain discovery to which the defendant is not entitled’. What’s wrong with that?
LAURO: We’re all in favor of protecting sensitive and highly sensitive information. But it’s unprecedented to have all information hidden in a criminal case, including, by the way, information that might be exculpatory and might be exonerative of President Trump. The Biden administration wants to keep that information from the American people.
MAJOR GARRETT: John, in the back and forth on this matter, you also said in the filing to the court that the former president would be willing to come to an agreement on this matter. And what I want to ask you is would that requirement be something where the President would agree not to release any information that was highly sensitive in this matter and would he also refrain from any speech that called for or hinted at retribution about anyone associated with the prosecution of this case?
LAURO: He’s never called for that at all. He’s going to abide by the conditions of his release. But of course, we would agree that any sensitive or highly sensitive information be kept under wraps. In fact, we made that proposition to the Biden administration, but they rejected it. They want every single piece of evidence in this case hidden from the American public.
MAJOR GARRETT: John, before I let you go, do you remember what you were doing the early morning of November 9th, 2016?
LAURO: I have no idea.
MAJOR GARRETT: Well, I remember what I was doing. I was covering President-elect Trump announcing that he had won the presidency, about 3 a.m. that morning after the November 8th election. My question to you, John, is how did he know he won?
LAURO: Well, politicians are convinced in the righteousness of their cause, including President Trump, and he certainly believed that he won and he did win in 2016- (crosstalk)
MAJOR GARRETT: — But on what basis did he know he- But on what basis did he know he won?
LAURO: — Can I finish? Can I finish?
MAJOR GARRETT: — Yeah. Sure.
LAURO: — Can I finish? And he believed in 2020 that he won based on the fact that he had 10 million more votes than in 2016. He had a situation where, somehow, President Biden, or at that time candidate Biden, received 15 million more votes than Hillary Clinton. And he also understood in 2020, that president- that President Trump understood that he had won all- virtually all of the bellwether counties, and 84 percent of all the counties in the country-
MAJOR GARRETT: Right. John- John, let me- let me help you with this–
LAURO: — So on that basis he believed that he was successful.
MAJOR GARRETT: — John, let me help you with this, I wasn’t asking about 2020.
LAURO: — No, let me help you with this, because the issue here- I have to help you with this.
[crosstalk]
MAJOR GARRETT: I wasn’t asking about 2020, John. John, I wasn’t asking about 2020. I was asking about 2016.
(CROSSTALK)
LAURO: The issue. Right. The issue. Right. The issue in a criminal case-
MAJOR GARRETT: Because- because the votes were still being counted in 2016. The votes were still being counted in 2016. There had been no recounts. How did he know in 2016 that he had won? How did he know? On what basis?
LAURO: The issue- the issue- let me just tell you something, the issue in this criminal case is not what happened in 2016 and whether all candidates say they won. The issue now is, in 2020, whether or not the Justice Department can weaponize criminal law to go after a political opponent and prevent that opponent from running for office. That’s the issue, not what happened in 2016.
MAJOR GARRETT: John Lauro, we thank you for your time.
LAURO: Do you think it’s fair- do you think it’s fair that- do you think it’s fair what the- what the Biden administration is doing to a candidate for president?
MAJOR GARRETT: John Lauro, we thank you for your time. We appreciate it.
LAURO: Thank you.
MAJOR GARRETT: And we will be right back.
Why would he fear Pence being called as a witness? We know Pence was a rat. He would have recorded all conversations, because that is what rats do.
President Trump’s team would want Pence on the stand under oath. Then ask him about the little silver token he was handed by some covid-masked democrat after he voted to certify the stolen election. Face value, thirty pieces of silver.
I’d love to know why Nasty Nancy gave Pence the token…is it a badge of “honor” or a testament that “you are now one of us”?
the envelopes at the funeral
It’s both.
Pelosi is protected by Evil, so we’ll probably never know
Actually, I think the guy that handed him the token was Brad Wenstrup. Looks just like him…same color hair and very dark eye brows. Someone should ask him what it was and why he handed it to Pence.
Yes.
A token for Judas Mike, to exchange.
Was that coin the prearranged sign between Pence, Pelosi and McConnell that the fedsurrection was proceeding as planned?
That coin is scrip which is redeemable on Sea Island, or at the Bohemian Grove. Plus it might be possible for Pence to pay for an all-dressed large pie at Comet Ping Pong with that token.
Rumor has it those coins are also redeemable for a date with that halfrican moslem homosexual’s husband, “Michelle”, and furthermore that William “Porky” [Indian Spirit Name: “Squeals like a Pig”] Barr usually jingles a pocketful of those coins…
Pence would be a dream witness for Trump. He’s a stupid guy that is convinced he is very intelligent and the paragon of virtue.
Start by asking that nitwit to cite the provision of the Constitution that he was asked by Trump to “violate.” There is none, even Mark Levin made this point this week, including researching James Madison’s notes on the subject. Ask Dumbbell Pence why the applicable law was changed in 2022. Ask him to explain his statement at the Kelly Loeffler rally a few days prior to January 6.
As Pacino said in “Scent of a Woman,” “I’m just getting started!”
“I’m just gettin warmed up” is the quote. Another good one trump,should use “I’m gonna take a flame thrower to this place, ohhh ahh”
Pence also tweeted on Jan 4th something to the idea that in 2 days he would oversee the electoral vote castings and that he wasn’t convinced everything was copacetic.
He tacitly admits the election was stolen, even if he was posturing knowing of ‘the J6 plan’
He spoke to a crowd in Georgia who cheered when he said:
“I know we all , we’ve all got out doubts about the last election, and I want to assure you that I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting irregularities. And I promise you, come this Wednesday, we’ll have our day in Congress. We’ll hear the objections. We’ll hear the evidence.”
https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2021/01/04/pence-stands-with-trump-ahead-ga-election/4132464001/
If he thought otherwise, he shouldn’t have been encouraging all those people to go to the capitol. Especially if he knew that an “emergency” was planned. That would be like entrapment.
Pence is not going to be a “dream witness” for the defense. He’s going to be a hostile witness.
Here is Mike Pence on CNN’s STATE OF THE UNION:
Dana Bash: I’m sure you’ve heard the former president’s lawyers saying that he, quote, ultimately asked only that you pause in counting the electoral ballots. I want to be clear. Did the former president ask you to pause or did he at any point ask you to overturn the election and keep him as president?
Mike Pence: Well, you can look at the tweets and public statements that the president made, all the way up to the night before and the morning of. Look, what the president was convinced it seemed to me in December that I had some right to reject or return electoral votes, even though no vice president in American history had ever asserted that right. No vice president or any one president has ever had the right to choose the American president. The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone.
But, look, in the days before, the president was talking about us rejecting votes, then late in the process, his lawyers suggested that we return votes to the states, but frankly, the day before January 6th, if memory serves, they came back, his lawyers did, and said, we want you to reject votes outright. They were asking me to overturn the election. I had no right to overturn the election. I know we did our duty that day and I couldn’t be more encouraged whether it’s here in New Hampshire, in Iowa, or all across the country how many people come up to me and express their appreciation for the stand that we took.
Or nowadays, thirty pieces of crypto.
Apparently when Trump called Mikey the Rat “Liddle” some people were criticizing his spelling. It’s in reference to convicted pedophile Robert Liddle.
Karen the dutiful Stepford faux Christian wife was always by his side to keep an eye on him, not for womanizing but for being attracted to male children. His congressional records are sealed until he dies, what’s that about?
I always thought there was something off about him. People that act like that are hiding something.
The fly knew he was garbage.
Yes, I saw the handoff too! Constitutionally it should have been handed back to the states-when the electoral votes are questioned.
And ask Veep Pence under oath and on the record why he lied to set up General Flynn for a FBI sneak attack probe to snare him in a FBLies’ Process Crime,….. before President Trump was inaugurated in January of 2017.
The Defense should call mike Pence and make hm tell the world what he has been saying but this time make him say it under outh and make that
slim bag squirm and then some. President Trump was all about Law and order and now these scum bags are trying to make it appear as if he is the one who tried to break the law, but it was his job to do what ever was needed to find out what happened and Mike Pence is going to rott in hell
Rusty….found you in the bin. You’re not on any list, so your future comments should be ok. 🙁
…and with that, Garrett picked up his toys and went home…
Well done, Mr Lauro.
Major “Ferret” suits him best.
Minor Ferret works well…
Major a$$hole with his little red socks..
Those leftist hacks can’t stand when their total bs narratives are destroyed. They can’t run away fast enough
You know when interviewers like Garrett are in trouble.
They resort to condescending snark and interruptions.
They’re in real trouble with their narratives when both are employed at the same time.
Mr Lauro made him look foolish, thus the abrupt end to the interview.
As for the school boy question how did Mr Trump, as he still was then, know he’d won in 2016?
Every major broadcasting network called it for him before he went out to claim victory….just as has happened in elections prior to 2016.
That would have been a short, sharp slap down for
la Garrett. One sentence, job done.
Mr. Lauro made mincemeat out of him and his little script. I can still hear the producers and director screaming “Go to commercial!🤬” in his earpiece…😒
So loud I’m surprised we didn’t hear it as well😎
Given a hostile interviewer, Lauro did well.
He made several key points he wanted to make, and avoided Garretts obvious trap at the end, although Garret still got the question “out there”.
Just before Pences testimony (day or so is fine) PDJT should,…infer in one of his speeches, that he RECORDED his conversations with Pence,…for posterity, don’t you know?
He used that once before, in order to insure someone would not lie under oath, against him.
Another “sometimes 10% doubt, is enough.”
Excellent. He has also asked for cameras in the court room. A request I suspect to be denied, dutch.
I think the most interesting part of this whole interview was Mr Lauro stressing he wanted to ensure President Trump’s constitutional rights were being properly observed and ruled upon.
A sort of under the desk warning as it were to the hanging judge, as I call her (who should absolutely recuse herself given her associations with Son of Biden) in a hostile courtroom.
Every infraction of those rights is ammunition to have his verdict overturned when, not if, it gets to the Supreme Court.
Because I fully expect him to be “convicted”.
They want President Trump’s guts for garters. And, by gosh, one way or another they mean to have them.
I think Mr Lauro has given fair advanced warning that every step in the direction of a corrupt trial will be noted and used.
Whether he’s being listened to and understood is another matter entirely.
Such is the vindictive persecution of our President by an evil weaponized ” justice” system, I really doubt they heard a word.
Garrett got increasingly interruptive and curt, as Lauro honed in. Note Lauro’s eyes– focus. With Garrett clicking off, Lauro left Garrett looking unpolished and rude. And did it polishingly.
Love the description !! How very PG Wodeouse of you, hpushkin.
Indeed he did.
These media propagandists and useful intermediaries for the regime think they’ve got Mr Lauro’s measure and will be able to over talk or rattle him.
He’s got a thousand yard stare and such a calm nature I expect they’ll soon regret having him on.
On this interview, the final score Lauro 1-Garrett sub 0
Minor Garrett … “hey! I’m the one asking the questions, here!” “Goodbye”. What an insufferable twit
I would not be surprised in the least if one (or more) of the 3-letter agencies in the illegitimate regime of FJB soon announces some type of investigation into John Lauro which will coincide with some BS charges / investigation being announced by the SDNY clown-court.
Took the thoughts right out of my head, Rob.
After all, the DoJ has a few of President Trump’s lawyers named in one of the indictment as co-conspirators.
Because as everyone knows, it’s against the Constitution to provide counsel, and attorney- client privilege is so yesterday.
Trying to frighten off any who would defend him.
Mr Lauro understands this I’m certain and is probably lying in wait for it.
somehow this will be spun and edited to show trump was an evil man, who wanted to stop joe biden from keeping the seas from rising, etc, etc etc
they are trying incite shooters from the left.
drving the meds in their heads, and them crazy with Trump News every second.
I hope the DOJ doesn’t go after Lauro like they did his other attorneys, who got scared and quit.
The ones who quit were forced to through a conflict of interest. If they don’t go after Lauro, that should worry you. They go after all of their enemies.
Sorry, but when I see a member of Trump’s legal team, my first inclination isn’t to think of him as a white hat, but to wonder, “How long before this one up turning on our President, too?”
These lawyers are just guns for hire. How many of them will eventually go the Jenna Ellis route?
They are “All” a detriment to a civil society. Period.
I like me some John Lauro, his eyes are like swords.
As is usually the case, they lob a smoke grenade then say they have to go to a break.
I would call this a very clear and excellent interview for Lauro. He made reasonable comments that might cause viewers to question the media falsehoods.
Major was like a shot gun with his rapid fire questions. Not a good tone.
This attorney is stellar in his responses.
Four interruptions. Garrett’s audience may leave him acting like a turd but what does it actually accomplish. My only critique of Lauro here was wasting time at the end asking Garrett about fairness. He works for CBS, fairness is a foreign concept there.
Well done, John Lauro.
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Forevermore
“The Vice President will be our best witness..”
Excellent response re; Pence. Lauro lays out why Pence will ultimately prove Trump was following advice of respected legal scholars.
I stopped watching when Garrett said “yes or no questions” – who does he think he is? Can’t stomach these scumbags.
To the first yes or no question, Lauro said “No”. To the second one, Lauro said “Absolutely”. Garrett then had enough of the yes or no questions.
Hahahaha… belly laugh
Garret sure didn’t want to answer the last question. Let’s hurry on to the next Trump bashing segment!
I thought he did a good job.
They will try to keep evidence hidden under the “national security” argument when Treepers know they are really only eager to hide embarrassing information about their behavior.
They’re afraid we’ll find out they really are spying on us, they really are spying on presidential candidates/nominees/elect. They’re afraid we’ll find out that the Intelligence agencies really are controlling the State media arms. They’re afraid we’ll find out they really are censoring anything which doesn’t fit their narrative.
They’re afraid we’ll expect a halfway fair trial, one in which President Trump’s rights as a citizen are respected and he’ll be able to present relevant evidence in his defense.
They deserve to be embarrassed.
That was a big ‘ol can of whoop ass Lauro opened on Garrett.
Lauro should have responded to that last question by that idiot with “just how did Fox know Biden had quote unquote won Arizona at 11:20 pm Eastern when votes were being counted? “.
Would have been the much deserved smackdown for the ages..
Maybe the real question is , is Pence concerned about having to testify
He is way to arrogant to be concerned.
“Major” Garrett? More like Minor Garrett, or Bushleague. Yet another turd in the Fox punchbowl.
Thought the same thoughts!
Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo 8/6/23 | August 6, 2023 Video
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2023/08/sunday-morning-futures-with-maria.html
Why are these facts not being brought up ?
What am I missing ?
Tom, many thanks for posting this. I listened and learned a lot of new info. I will share because it’s too good not to!!!!
We must find a way to get rid of these installed President/leaders. I don’t have an answer but it has to be done.
Don’t focus on the turtle on the fencepost.
Focus on the sumbitch that PUT him there.
State R party executive boards, in the 50 States install County Recorders and Election boards (or Boards of Supervisors) and thats who detirmines election outcomes, by carrying out instructions from the RNC and Congressional leadership.
Few thoughts. What’s with this “yes or no questions”? that is what attorneys do to TRAP people….isn’t this an interview? way to line it up as an adversarial conversation right? Also, loving that Lauro has read Pence’s book and put it out there… Dumba@@ wrote a book because of his huge ego. So he really cannot lie on the stand he put it in writing and Lauro put it out there. Very smart man. Liking him….
November 9th 2016, I remember sleeping with one eye open on the TV screen, at 3 am and Donald Trump did not say he won. As a matter of fact, no one knew at 3 am who the President was until about 5 am. I knew when I went to work I was a Happy camper. I am Central Time though. Donald Trump was even surprised.
I remember NOW PDJT, walking out, and around 100 of his paid campaign staff walking out behind him, in a long line.
He wanted THEM to get the recognition, instead of hogging it all to himself.
I recall feeling that HE felt fully, the weight come down on his shoulders, and his resolve to bear it.
I will never forget that moment.
What an idiotic line of questioning. Why is Garrett focusing on this 2016 victory lap?
The real news today online:
Obama knew Biden was going to take money from China and Ukraine. He did nothing.
The Barr DOJ and Wray FBI did nothing.
The Chief insurrectonist I see in this picture is Obama.
2016 was a long memory lapse ago . He won . She cancelled fireworks. 2020 is too recent. Everyone knows President Trump was the winner. Everyone.
0bama is the devil.
That flame thrower is reserved for OBAMA he is the target for Trump
Haha…the flamethrower is reserved for…The FLAMER !!!
The only thing garret left out was a question on the implications on our “democracy”. A man on the street stymied a British reporter when the Brit asked about US “democracy”. The man replied “first off we we are not a democracy, we are a “ Constitutional Republic”. It went downhill for the ignorant reporter from that moment. Garret is equally ignorant.
Does Major Garret look like Alec Baldwin to you? I find him literally “separated at birth”.
Without a change of venue what we left with is a jury of Trump hater’s. Lauro was knowledgeable, quick on his answers and has a complete understanding of the facts and laws. In my career as a Leo I dealt with many lawyers. Many who were totally incompetent and actually would seek my advice as to how to proceed. By the way, some of these attorneys were appointed to the bench. Almost like the more incompetent the better the chances of ascent to the bench. Peter principle is always a determining factor in control to reach a certain outcome.
Doesn’t matter, legally as SCOTUS WILL (despite some treepers negative opinions of the Thomas Court) overturn any conviction.
I have a lifelong,…career/hobby, as a “jailhouse lawyer” i.e. representing myself in court.
Its a “bell curve” and I encountered a FEW really smart, intelligent lawyers, and a great many who were mediocre.
Prosecutors is also a place for the poor performers to gravitate to, in addition to “the bench”,…look at Kameltoes, Jack Smith, etc.
They wouldn’t survive as lawyers in private practice.
This is a constitutional crisis similar to what occurred in the killing of JFK, Martin Luther King, Jr. and RFK. We know now that the CIA and FBI were involved in destroying these men’s lives. In addition, these agencies and Congress covered up the truth from the American people for years.
Now we find ourselves in the situation where the DOJ and FBI working with federal surveillance tools have decided to destroy Donald Trump and prevent him from both running for office and winning the election.
Apparently the CIA and FBI stopped assassinating their political enemies because they developed tools such as PSYOPS and Operation Mockingbird, in which many Americans now believe that lies are the truth and that the truth is a lie.
The Biden/Obama administration is dissatisfied with these tools, because they see the millions of people who want Trump to be President and are not falling for their lies. So they decided to censor information and facts and attempt to prevent the truth from being spread in social media or on the internet. This is the purpose behind the government attempts to set up disinformation boards. However, the judiciary has started to prevent the government from using THESE tools, so the administration is getting really frustrated!
Not only that, but the information about the Biden crime family is coming out with a daily drip, drip, drip of facts showing the Biden family sleaze, and how he is willing to sell our country to the highest bidder including China.
So every day there is new Biden exposures they have to come up with a new anti-Trump legal action. But it is getting ridiculous. It is so obvious that the government is on a mission to try to destroy Biden’s main political rival. Anyone who cannot see this is completely blind to the facts of life.
The more a totalitarian state persecutes its own citizens the more citizens unite against the totalitarian state. The more they attempt to silence and destroy Trump, the more Trump supporters support him, and the more supporters he gains. And this is really frustrating to these people! They keep upping the ante and getting nowhere!
Lauro did a fantastic job on this silly program.
Just a note, its not quite so “either or” as you describe it.
Yes, they assasinated JFK, but they used a intel-op, to POLITICALLY assasinate his rival, B. Goldwater and it was just as effective as the bullet to JFK’s brain.
Neither, if elected/reelected in ’64, would have pursued greater engagement in Viet Nam, and THAT was why both had to be eliminated.
“Major”, if that is his actual (non-stage) name, Garrett couldn’t follow his own “very simple basic yes or no questions” pattern. Illiterate dunderhead.
I taught political science and journalism for decades. One of the most-employed canards is to begin a line of questioning with a false premise. The problem often manifests all too quickly when the propagandists contradict themselves. It frequently occurs sooner than later, for the truth of the matter is so immanent that it emerges despite their best efforts to lie and to backstop their lies with misdirection and distraction.
Major Garrett is just another brick in the poxy, diseased propaganda wall.
That is EXACTLY what Garrett tried to do, with his last question.
Trap Lauro into accepting the false premise regarding DJT’s acceptance of election results when they said he won, and rejecting results 4 years later when those same sources said he lost.
Which is why Lauro rightly rejected the premise if the question.
Or, as my mother used to sing (and seems apt in Major’s case) – another prick in the hall.
🤣🤣🤣 Nice one!
Daaaang!
Question: wouldn’t the NSA – who monitors everything or can retrieve from their archives – know exactly what happened electronically with the 2020 and any other US election? Where is Radcliffe on this? Where is Rick Grennell? What the hell do we pay taxes for? I’d certainly have them on the defense’s subpoena list.
its blocked.
from getting to the public.
the News and the National Security Dept – have merged to prosecute people via narratives and DOJ indictments.
You lose as soon as they put their focus on you.
There must be a better answer. If they can get the data, I’d at least get that fact answered on the record.
THATS their biggest fear.
Suppose PDJT signs an Executive order, stating that since election integrity and corruption are issues that directly effect National Security, he is expanding the Patriot act, to encompass organised election interference and organised Public corruption to be covered by FISA warrants.
As POTUS has absolute authority over National Security, any Court challenges SHOULD ultimately rule in his favor, and he wouldn’t need to have it affirmed, to start combing thru McConnell, Ryan, McCarthy, Pelosi, Gates, Zuckerberg and many others NSA collected comms.
You just KNOW these idiots had all sorts of email, text and phone conversations, discussing the election fraud, and making various deals.
Actually, I am not sure that Hunters deals aren’t already covered by FISA.
ALL of their machinations, IN THERE OWN WORDS, could be exposed for all to see, and they would have NO defence.
They always “project” onto PDJT, what they are doing. With different personelle at FBI and DOJ, PDJT really COULD hang all the barstuds, and I think THIS has been their fear, from day one.
“If Trump wins, we ALL hang!” said Hillary.
“FIRST we f*ck Flynn,…THEN we f*ck Trump!” was PRIORITISING: Get FLYNN out RIGHT AWAY, …BEFORE he could uncover what they were doing.
THEN give PDJT the “mushroom treatment” (surround him with “aides” that would keep him in the dark and covered in bullshit) while they cashed in on their Watergate 2.0 insurance plan.
And its all right there, “in their own words”.
Of COARSE they would use it against their political enemies, they already HAVE.
So, of coarse they ASSUME PDJT will do the same, and THATS what terrifies them.
“We CAUGHT them, we caught them ALL!” certainly would feed that fear.
“Two to 3 years” By that time the election will be over.. if there is an election. President Trumps new AG will be prosecuting these criminals and I hope members of the MSM also. But I think we will be in a full blown uncivil war with warlords controlling different parts the former Republic. I’ll be controlling the South East and impaling Bolsheviks on stakes. But I’m a fair man. I’ll give them a choice- the stake or the log splitter.
insurance.
Gonna jam their hrad in the log splitter, or what.
Wouldn’t a decent sized shredder work better?
Lol, the fight will certainly reach a new level, after 2024, but I do not see the future you forsee; EITHER PDJT “assumes the office” on Jan 20, 2025 OR you’ll be busy as you say, but not both, IMHO.
“I do not come to praise Caesar, I come to bury him!”
This is the game, the strategy Washington, DC players are and have been employing.
Expect a nut job to go after President Trump…the democrats will be handing out candies if such takes place!
The hysterics are going mad…totally mad and we are watching this madness in real time!
Trump should deify every order dare them to jail him he should lay out all evidence in the court of public which I beleive he will.
This video is so heavily edited it’s not even funny. What are the folks in CBS afraid of? Even with all of that, Garrett looks like a buffoon.
The issues they will try to pin on Trump will be found in the information they are hiding. Trump’s lawyer should just flat refuse to budge on that situation until the Government backs off and allows Trump and his lawyers to see all of the so called evidence, at least 1 year before the trial. No negotiation. I am sick of the bad smelling fish among this Lawfare gang of Communists, and they have to be put in their place, even if we go to the Supreme Court with it. There is a lot of precedent for allowing the President’s case to be heard first at the SCOTUS.
There is not even a pretense of impartiality from Major Garrett! He is an attack dog, sent out to destroy the enemy of the pack to which he belongs, plain and simple! To say that he exhibited conduct unbecoming a journalist is a wild understatement at best! When even David Brooks can see that his elitist peers are destroying their own credibility, you know it’s bad!
No idea what the 2016 line of questioning was all about. That election really wasn’t even close.
I was out west and sometime around midnight (3 am est) in 2016 I was switching back and firth from cnn to msnbc enjoying the shock and crying as the announced DJT had won the election.
In fact you can go to youtube and see a clip of Trump celebrating after Clinton called and conceded. The time says 2:47 am in NYC.
Atty Lauro should have LOL at Garrett about that question and said,
“Major, you really don’t to go there,… or I’ll have to remind you of CBS’ Anchor, Dan Rather, jumping the gun in the early morning hours live on TV and calling FL for Gore in the 2000 Potus election,… only to then reverse himself by calling it for Bush,… and finally retracting that call,.. and announce that Gore had won the crucial state of FL,…. erronously, again.
Really, Major, you’re about to embarrass yourself and CBS! Your move!”
“MAJOR GARRETT: And we will be right back!”
Indeed you/cbs, et al, will,… the ratings game and your NWO Masters of the Universe demand it.
So will I, Major, as soon as I get another big bucket of Popcorn to enjoy as Atty Lauro continues to shred your lies and smears Narrative to illegally violate and debase our Fist Amendment,… and interfere in a Presidential election with Third World, Banana Republic Tyrant tactics.
Major is an ass and never answered the last question.
C’mon man, this gets old! When does the MOST corrupt POTUS get to face charges? Ten percent for the Big Guy? Tem Million dollars? I was born on a Sunday, but it sure as hell wasn’t last Sunday! This charade is a crock of bullsh!t!
I used to think Major Garrett had some integrity. Not so much now.
Short answer on why Trump just knew that he had won in 2016: Because Trump, unlike Herr Hitlery and Major Garrett and the rest of the lying Leftist DNC controlled media, was counting the Electoral College Votes and not the popular vote. Trump knew he was gonna have the Electoral College Votes.
Which is of course how Obama and the Dems used Fauci’s Bioweapon as an excuse to rig the elections via corrupt Soros controlled Sectaries of State in several key states to circumvent both law and the State Legislatures in order to change the rules and law illegally in order to deny President Trump the big Electoral College win again.
“No, in fact, the Vice President will be our best witness.”
Pence failed to do his job….
Major is a crappy interviewer. He’s rude. However, after all these years in media his interrogation comes across as pushy and petty rather than dogged and determined.
The Hildabeest “knew” she had won in 2016 as well, Major. I know Lauro in his legal capacity couldn’t say that, but it’s true. Not only did the Hildabeest claim she won, she was the catalyst for a sham impeachment! What a ridiculous question. Name for me one politician, in a close race, who DOESN’T say, or believe, they’ve won? But these talking heads know that a lawyer, speaking legalese isn’t going to go there. The propaganda is outrageous.
When President Trump is restored to his rightful place as POTUS in 2025, I hope Lauro is given a prominent slot in his administration. Good at law and good at PR. Solid.
