With Sean off for the holidays, Greg Jarrett fills in and focuses on what he calls lawfare against Donald Trump. Citing a JustTheNews report by John Solomon, he says the DOJ is weighing civil rights charges against officials who pursued Trump, naming Special Counsel Jack Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland, and raising questions about Fani Willis, Alvin Bragg, and Letitia James. Jarrett also revisits the Russia probe, alleging misconduct by James Comey and John Brennan, and discusses statute-of-limitations issues, reported new evidence at the FBI, and a South Florida grand jury with subpoenas already issued. John Solomon joins this hour, with Newt Gingrich and Jason Chaffetz also on deck, and listeners are invited to call in.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello everyone, I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean Hennity
on the Sean Hennity Show. Shawn's taking a few days off,
well deserved during the holidays. I'm happy to fill in
both today and tomorrow. For those of you who don't
know me, I'm a Fox News legal analyst. I've been
with a network Goodness for going on twenty four years.
(00:21):
You can follow me on x at Greg Jarrett. I've
written several books, Trial of the Century, Constitution and Patriotic Documents,
witch Hunt, The Trial of the Century I mentioned, and
The Russia Hoax. So what I normally do is talk
(00:43):
about legal issues, and there's never any shortage of that.
I'll be joined today by John Solomon, by New Gingrich,
by Jason Chafitz, and be sure to give us a call.
I'd love to hear from you. Let me give you
the number one eight hundred nine one seventy three twenty six. Again,
(01:05):
that's one eight hundred nine four one Sean. I'll be
taking your calls if you have any questions or comments
to make love to hear from you, so give us
a ring. In the meantime, I'd like to begin by
talking about what I think is the greatest political scandal
of our time, and it also happens to be the
(01:26):
worst abuse of power in American history. Those who hated
Donald Trump took it upon themselves to hijack our legal
system to bring a series of investigations and prosecutions against
Trump based on invented stories, false accusations, and clever lies.
(01:49):
And there's a word for it. It's called law fare.
It's the weaponization of the law as a form of
warfare waged against Trump. And these people who did it
thought they could get away with it. They were in power,
they could cover it up. But now, as we venture
into a new year, very shortly, the Department of Justice
(02:13):
is gearing up to turn the tables on those who
deliberately misused our system of justice for political gain, because
in bringing these specious charges against Trump, they were actually
committing crimes themselves. It's called deprivation of rights under color
(02:35):
of law, and it's a crime punishable for up to
ten years behind bars for each wrongful act. And there
were a lot of those wrongful acts. You'll find it
at eighteen USC. Two forty two. It's very simple, it's straightforward.
It kind of sounds complicated, but it's really not. Essentially,
(02:58):
it's when a public official misuses their position and willfully
violates a person's constitutional rights such as due process of
law and unreasonable searches and seizures, or more directly indicting
Donald Trump on knowingly phony charges to stop him from
(03:22):
running to the highest office. So in the new year,
we may well see criminal charges against a whole host
of people who misuse the law to destroy Trump. And
the latest revelation comes from our friend, investigative reporter John
Solomon and his team at justthanews dot com. Their article
(03:44):
is entitled Dojiy's Civil Rights action against Feds and state
officials who pursued Trump, and John will be joining me
in a few moments as a guest, so we'll talk
to him about that. But his story, he quotes the
Assistant Attorney General Harmeat Dillon. She runs the civil Rights
(04:06):
division at the DOJ and Harmeet confirmed to John that
criminal charges are being considered and developed. So the question
is who could be charged? Well, let's begin with the
most obvious, special counsel, Jack Smith and his coterie of prosecutors,
who brought two meritless criminal cases against Donald Trump in
(04:29):
advance of the twenty twenty four election. The Florida federal
case involving custody of presidential records was always legally absurd,
and I said it the very day of the mar
A Lago raid on air, because the exclusive remedy over
(04:50):
presidential papers is civil, not criminal. But Smith mangled the
law to charged Trump anyway. And that's not all. Smith
covertly seized telephone data on more than four hundred Republicans,
(05:10):
anybody in Donald Trump's orbit, including Republican senators and congressmen,
without any notice to them, as the law demands. So
Jack Smith is in the criminal crosshairs. To be sure,
there's also Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Carlin, who personally
(05:31):
signed off on the raid on Marral Logley bragged about it.
Now we've come to learn that there were stern warnings
from the FBI that wait a minute, you can't raid
his home because there's no probable cause to do so.
Newly declassified FBI records show that Garland and the GoJ
(05:53):
were told by the Washington Field office of the FBI
they were leading the case. There's no legal justification for
the raid on Trump's home because there's no evidence of
any crimes committed, thus no probable cause. Well, Merrick Garland
didn't care. So what did he do? He snoockered a
(06:16):
local anti Trump magistrate in Florida into signing off on
the warrant, and then Garland weaponized the law to bring
a silly case against Donald Trump to stop his bid
for reelection. All right, So that's Garland, that Smith. What
about state prosecutors like Fannie Willis and Alvin Bragg, Well,
(06:38):
the DOJ is surely looking at them as well, whether
they conspired with others to illegally target Trump for purely
political reasons. And I'd probably toss in Letitia James into
the mix as well. But look, the abuse of law
and criminality that I've just identified predates all of that,
(07:01):
going all the way back to the Russia hoax code
named Crossfire Hurricane by James Cummy's FBI comy and his confederates.
Knew at the outset that Trump never colluded with Russia
to steal the twenty sixteen election. The CIA discovered that
(07:22):
it was all a damning fiction that was invented by
none other than Hillary Clinton's campaign and personally approved by her.
In late July of that year. Her campaign and Democrats
funded the bogus dossier in a deliberate attempt to smear Trump,
(07:46):
distract from her own email scandals and her foundation scandals
where she was receiving a ton of money from Russians,
And they did it to help Hillary win and defeat
Donald Trump. Meetings were held at the White House Obama, Biden, Comy.
(08:10):
They were told what Clinton had done, and instead of
coming clean and telling the truth to Congress and the
American people, what did they do? They clammed up, and
they concealed the truth. And then Comy went about using
the fake dossier to launch his dilating investigation of Trump
(08:35):
to stop him from winning the election. And when that failed,
Comy and his team doubled down. They tried to drive
Trump from office. There's compelling evidence that Comy covered up
exculpatory evidence, deceived the Vice A Court with lies, and
(08:56):
together with CIA director John Brennan, manipulated intelligence all to
frame Trump for imaginary crimes that he never committed. Comey
even went to Trump Tower just before the inauguration and
tried to entrap Trump with false accusations. Remember the p tape.
(09:19):
It was phony, But that's what Komy was using. A
few months later, Comy was fired and on his way
out the door, he stole FBI documents and leaked them
to the media for the admitted purpose of triggering a
special counsel who just happened to be his longtime friend
(09:42):
and former colleague, Robert Muller. And we know how that
story went. Muller hired a team of partisans who hated Trump,
and they spent the better part of two years looking
in every nook and cranny and under every rock, and
in the end and they were forced to admit in
their report, we found no evidence of a criminal collusion
(10:07):
conspiracy between Trump and Russia.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Thirty five million dollars later, Oh sorry, there's no there there.
And the media, they were all in. They convicted Trump
in the court of public opinion without a shred of evidence.
They never bothered to verify anything. They just reacted with
a ho hum. Let's move on to our next foe scandal.
(10:34):
No maya culpa, no apology, classic crooked media. So all
of the people who were involved in the Russia hoax
are currently the subject of the Department of Justice's criminal investigation.
Now I know what you're saying, wait a minute, what
about the statute limitations? All of that was so long ago,
(10:58):
and you're you're right. While it's true that the statue
limitations expired for many of the suspected crimes, it is
not true in any ongoing criminal conspiracy case that might
encompass lies and cover ups. And to that point, the
(11:20):
new FBI Director Cashpittel discovered lo and behold burn bags
hidden in a room at the FBI that were filled
with allegedly incriminating evidence from the James Comey era. What's
that called obstruction of justice? And the statute limitations begins
(11:44):
ticking only upon the discovery of those documents, which was
rather recent. So this coming year, you're going to see
a grand jury in South Florida, convened by a US
attorney there who is already issued dozens of subpoena's criminal
(12:04):
indictments in twenty twenty six could follow. We'll be talking
about it with John Solomon in just a few minutes,
and we'll be taking your phone calls after that. Our
number is one eight hundred nine to four to one
seventy three twenty six. That's one eight hundred nine four
to one Sean love to hear from you. Give me
(12:25):
a call. I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean Hannity.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Sean. Greg Jarrett filling
in for Sean Today. Let's go right to our phone lines.
Mike in San Antonio joins us. Mike, how are you?
Do you have a question or a comment?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Greg, A big fan, especially your expertise, and I'm we're
sure blessed that you're on our side.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
But I do have a question.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
All the Conservatives where bogus charges seem to get prosecuted
and go to jail. Is anybody on the left ever
going to go to prison? The Clintons, the Bidens, and
now most recently the fraud going on in Minnesota, But
nobody ever seems to go to jail.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Its very frustrating.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, No, I share your concern, and I think that
you're going to see in this next year, this new year.
I mean, it's taken a while to gather some of
the evidence. For example, as I mentioned a moment ago,
the burn bags were discovered at the FBI implicating James
coming a host of his confederates. That's obstruction of justice.
(13:30):
But I you know, and yesterday Jack Smith appeared before
the House Judiciary Committee. A bunch of his aides have
either clammed up or taken the fifth. You know, I
think he's in legal jeopardy. You know, I think people
associated with Merrick Garland at the dog Jay bringing meritless cases.
(13:55):
I think the grand jury and the US Attorney in
South Florida going to be looking at that closely. There's
also a grand jury in the state of Missouri that
is also looking at a wide variety of potentially wrongful acts,
all of it falling under the category of law fair
(14:16):
against Donald Trump. So, you know, the people who did
this may have thought they could get away with it,
but I'm hoping that they'll be held accountable in the
new year, twenty twenty six. So you know, stay tuned,
we'll wait and see. We're going to pause and take
(14:38):
a quick break in a moment or two. I want
to mention one other thing. You know, somebody asked me
recently what were the big fails by the Democratic Party. Well,
my answer was that Democrats sued Donald Trump over anything
and everything, and it boomeranged against them because when they
(15:00):
lost those cases, then they lost most of them. The
rulings had the unintended effect of vastly expanding Trump's presidential power.
More than five hundred times Trump and his administration have
been sued in eleven months. That's more than one a day,
(15:21):
and the major cases the winter to the Supreme Court,
Trump won ninety percent of the time. So that's quite
an astonishing record, and it boomeranged against Democrats. We'll be
right back with the Sean Hennity Show you.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We'll hear the mainstream press talking about this stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Sean Hannity is on the radio, and welcome back to
the Sean Hennity Show on Greg Jared filling in for
Sean Hannity today. We're going to be getting to your
phone calls in just a moment. I see Duke is standing,
Biso's Robert and Florida. We'll get to you guys in
just a minute. Give us a call. It one eight
hundred ninety four one seventy three twenty six. That is
(16:04):
one eight hundred nine four one. Sean love to hear
from you, take your questions or your comments. Very pleased
to have with us. My old friend, the finest investigative
reporter in America who is broken just about every story
(16:25):
beginning with the Russia hoax back in twenty sixteen, in
twenty seventeen, all the way up to the latest involving
Arctic frost in the Jack Smith Merrick Garland misbegotten investigation
that tried to nail Donald Trump for imaginary crimes that
(16:50):
he did not commit. And John joins us now on
the telephone, and John, thanks for being with us. I
was reading your latest story that came out today and
people can check it out on justthnews dot com. It's
entitled doj Ey's Civil Rights actions against Feds and state
officials who pursued Trump and Maga tell us about that
(17:14):
if you would.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, this is a big moment.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
This is the first time the Justice Department has ever
said on the record. It was Harmei Dillon. He's just
an attorney general for civil rights. Sometimes you think civil
rights to think, oh, it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
A civil case.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
No, she says she believes she sees a conspiracy, a
criminal conspiracy by federal and state officials to infringe the
civil liberties of President Trump and his followers. The MAGA
world from twenty seventeen all the way to twenty twenty four,
that is a profound statement on the record, very clearly,
and then she lays out, Listen, it's no different than
(17:46):
what the klu Klux Plan tried to do to African
Americans back in the sixties, and we're going to treat
it the same way. If someone's entitled to due process,
if someone's entitled to probable cause, and you trample over that,
if someone's innocent, you keep investigating them, you have infringed
their civil liberties. And it is a criminal matter, not
a civil matter. That was a pretty extraordinary thing. And
(18:07):
just a few minutes ago, I just got off the
phone with Jonathan Gilliam, decorated retired FBI agent, former Navy seal,
and he said, listen, I did a lot of mob cases.
I did a lot of organized prime cases. I am
telling you now the pattern of protecting Hillary Clinton, pursuing
Donald Trump, protecting Hunter Biden, pursuing Donald Trump when there
was no evidence for Trump and there was lots of
(18:27):
evidence against Clinton and Hunter Biden, that that is a
slam dunk conspiracy case. I could make it tomorrow, and
I could get a conviction tomorrow. He was very animated
about how strong the body of evidence is, so you're
beginning to see people talk the way you've been talking.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Greg. You laid this case out years ago.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I think the justice system has finally caught up to you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah. In fact, in
my first book called The Russia Hoaes, I went into
enormous detail with discovered facts about the corruption at the
Hillary Clinton Foundation. I mean, they hundreds of millions of
(19:09):
Russian rubles flowing into the Clinton Foundation, which Bill and
Hillary used as their personal piggybang, and there was an
FBI investigation into it, and you reported a couple of
days ago. I'll read the title of your column, New
(19:33):
Memos show how corruption probe into Clinton foundation was killed.
So my question is who killed it? How did they
do it?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's pretty easy.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
They just simply said shut it down. That was Sally
It's a deputy attorney general.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
For Barack Obama.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Then we had Andy McCabe, the deputy FBI director, who,
by the way, should never have been overseeing a case
against Hillary Clinton. Why he had recused himself from Hillary
It matters on paper but not in practice, because his
wife had benefited from donations arranged by one of Hillary
Clinton's acolytes. In fact, the donations were arranged to help
his wife runt for a Virginia state senden see right
(20:12):
at the time, some of the Clinton family was under investigation.
So you got Andy mccave at the seventh floor of
the FBI, the Deputy director, number two, most powerful person
in the FBI, and you get the Deputy Attorney General
right below the REDDA lynch saying shut it down.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You don't get it. You don't get.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Anything unless I approve it. And of course the DYE
mcab didn't. And then you have scores of FBI agents
who are writing memos chronicling how they were thwarted in
the face of real evidence. It is a classic case
of obstruction. A lot of people have looked at it.
And Jonathan Gilliam again a guy who took on the
mob in some big cities and brought some big cases,
like this is some of the worst stuff I've seen.
(20:49):
They acted like they were a mob, They acted like
they were a drug cartel, except they weren't playing with drugs,
and they weren't playing with gambling earnings. They were playing
with the civil liberties every day Americans.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, and it wasn't just that the Obama administration shut
down this criminal investigation into wrongdoing by the Clintons and
their foundation. But then, of course, it was James Comey
who famously killed any potential prosecution of Hillary Clinton in
(21:26):
her email scandal, which she clearly had obviously violated the
Espionage Act, either intentionally, and I think it was quite
intentional or recklessly, and on either basis you can bring
criminal charges. And James Commy stood in front of television
cameras and usurped the authority of the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch,
(21:52):
and said, we're not going to bring criminal charges against
Hillary Clinton because no reasonable prosecutor would do such a thing,
which is a standard, by the way, that doesn't exist
in the law. And you know, even though before he
said those words, he laid out how Hillary Clinton had
(22:14):
clearly committed crimes under the espion Isaac I nearly fell
off my chair when that happened. I think the date
was July fifth, twenty sixteen. And by the way, as
I reported in my book The Russia Hoax, the very
moment he's uttering those words wrongfully clearing Hillary Clinton, the
(22:36):
FBI is holding its first meeting in London with Christopher
Steele obtaining the first of several memos that composed his
infamous dossier. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
No, Unfortunately, it is all real. Jim Jordan has said
this a few times on our show and of Chrise.
Jim Jordan was a big part of helping you and
me and the American public unravelus.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
As the Judiciary com Be chairman, he said, we not
had it. Only we didn't have it.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Only right, John or Greg you could say it because
you were right on top of us. It's a lot
worse than we originally fought.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And I think that that's right.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I think people are waking up to the idea that
the pattern is so pronounced, that the intentionality is so provable.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Think about Andy McCabe.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
He's supposed to be recused, but he's sitting on the
Hillary Clinton case. Think of James Comy. He knows he
used to be in the Justice Department. He knows the
FBI doesn't make prosecutive decisions.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He makes him.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Think of all the people, including James Comy and others
who signed those and Andy McCabe and others who signed
those vice of warrens. Knowing that the evidence in them
was not true. It had long since been debunked. You
have a level of intentionality now. And I think what
HARMEI Dylan did yesterday, he was put the nation on
notice that something big is about to happen. My reporting
(23:54):
indicates that a grand jury will be impaneled on January
twod in Fort Pure support will begin looking at the
era of weaponization, starting with the IRS. And by the way,
Jack Smith was back all the way in the IRS case.
He was advising Lois Learner and how to go about
this all the way to the raid on President Trump's
house and the twenty twenty four prosecutions that occurred as
(24:15):
one ongoing criminal conspiracy to infringe or deprive the civil
liberties of Americans around President Trump, MAGA and President Trump.
That is a bombshell statement from the Assistant Attorney General,
and I think a sign that maybe for the first time,
we're not going to get taps on the hands in
another Oh well, we missed the statute of limitations, but
(24:35):
we may get a real predicated criminal case with real
teeth in it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And so you know, the question that people routinely have
is how do you get around the Statute of limitations.
But as you've explained it, and I believe as a lawyer,
you're right about it. You get around it by alleging
an ongoing criminal conspiracy, right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, events that occurred outside the statute limitations mirror and
are connected to events that are still inside the investigation.
And I think one of the most important events for
a conspiracy case is the stuff that we now have
confirmed from Cash Mattel, from Chuck Grassey, from Jim Jordan,
from Ron Johnson that in January of this year, the
(25:24):
most contemporaneous crime that we know of in this cycle,
a group of FBI agents in the final days of
the Biden administration, we're trying to burn, shred and high
documents from multiple investigations. What were those investigations, the Clintons
January sixth Russia collusion Ukraine. In the minds of the
people who were allegedly burning those documents or hiding those
(25:47):
documents or destroying those documents, those cases somehow were connected.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They were part of a mission. That is the most
overt act that says, Hey, the people who were involved
in this believe that these things were connected.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
That's why they were destroyed At the end of the
Biden administration. I think a lot of people are going
to seize on that woman that grand jury gets before
it gets going in Fort Pierce, Florida pre soon.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
And you know, the other bombshell that has been dropped
is that the FBI newly declassified documents just came out.
They show the FBI repeatedly warned Merrick Garland and the DOJ,
you don't have probable cause to raid Trump's home. I mean,
(26:30):
probable cause is evidence that shows it's more probable than
not that crimes were committed. And essentially the FBI was saying,
wait a minute. These records confirmed that there's really no
hard evidence that the documents were classified. They may have
been declassified by Trump and agents emphasized to the DOJ.
(26:55):
Trump's cooperating, we should just continue the dialogue if we
want these documents to be given to the National Archives,
which is a debatable argument, right.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Well, listen. The other thing is they were treating Joe
Biden very differently. At the same time they're going after
Donald Trump. They're discovering that Joe Biden had costed my
documents by the way he was a vice president, didn't
have the same declassification powers as President Trump and the kid.
They're treating Joe Biden with kid gloves, and we'll just
work this out with them. We'll go see it, let's
have them return it. Let's go voluntarily, you know, interview
(27:30):
him and go get the documents. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is
there's literally a line in these emails where the Justice
Department says, we're not interested in accommodating President Trump.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We're going to raid him.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
That is amazing, and I thinking, well, well, we can't
raid him.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We don't have proof that he committed the crime.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
We don't approve, we don't have the right to go
into his office or to his bedroom.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And they're like, we don't care, we're doing it.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
That is the sort of stuff that someone like a
Jonathan Gilliam who brought big cases seat is that that's criminal,
that's a conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
That is prime.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I face the evidence that multiple people were involved in
the conspiracy to infringe President Trump and his followers' rights.
And I think that's the moment we're about to head
into all the great work you've done, the two great
books you've done.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Greg. Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Could be the year where we see some form of
real accountability, because by god, we haven't gotten it up
to this point.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All right. You know, to anybody who doesn't follow John Solomon,
you must, you must always log on to justthinews dot com.
Every day he has a breaking news story. Dude who
is great investigative work and his team. I get his
(28:38):
emails via a text or an email, and it's always
got the latest news and this is the first thing
I read in the morning. You should too, John, many
thanks for taking their time to talk to us about
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Thank you, my friends. I admire you so much. And
Merry Christmas to.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
You, you two and your family. Thank you.
Hello everyone, I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean Hennity
on the Sean Hennity Show. Shawn's taking a few days off,
well deserved during the holidays. I'm happy to fill in
both today and tomorrow. For those of you who don't
know me, I'm a Fox News legal analyst. I've been
with a network Goodness for going on twenty four years.
(00:21):
You can follow me on x at Greg Jarrett. I've
written several books, Trial of the Century, Constitution and Patriotic Documents,
witch Hunt, The Trial of the Century I mentioned, and
The Russia Hoax. So what I normally do is talk
(00:43):
about legal issues, and there's never any shortage of that.
I'll be joined today by John Solomon, by New Gingrich,
by Jason Chafitz, and be sure to give us a call.
I'd love to hear from you. Let me give you
the number one eight hundred nine one seventy three twenty six. Again,
(01:05):
that's one eight hundred nine four one Sean. I'll be
taking your calls if you have any questions or comments
to make love to hear from you, so give us
a ring. In the meantime, I'd like to begin by
talking about what I think is the greatest political scandal
of our time, and it also happens to be the
(01:26):
worst abuse of power in American history. Those who hated
Donald Trump took it upon themselves to hijack our legal
system to bring a series of investigations and prosecutions against
Trump based on invented stories, false accusations, and clever lies.
(01:49):
And there's a word for it. It's called law fare.
It's the weaponization of the law as a form of
warfare waged against Trump. And these people who did it
thought they could get away with it. They were in power,
they could cover it up. But now, as we venture
into a new year, very shortly, the Department of Justice
(02:13):
is gearing up to turn the tables on those who
deliberately misused our system of justice for political gain, because
in bringing these specious charges against Trump, they were actually
committing crimes themselves. It's called deprivation of rights under color
(02:35):
of law, and it's a crime punishable for up to
ten years behind bars for each wrongful act. And there
were a lot of those wrongful acts. You'll find it
at eighteen USC. Two forty two. It's very simple, it's straightforward.
It kind of sounds complicated, but it's really not. Essentially,
(02:58):
it's when a public official misuses their position and willfully
violates a person's constitutional rights such as due process of
law and unreasonable searches and seizures, or more directly indicting
Donald Trump on knowingly phony charges to stop him from
(03:22):
running to the highest office. So in the new year,
we may well see criminal charges against a whole host
of people who misuse the law to destroy Trump. And
the latest revelation comes from our friend, investigative reporter John
Solomon and his team at justthanews dot com. Their article
(03:44):
is entitled Dojiy's Civil Rights action against Feds and state
officials who pursued Trump, and John will be joining me
in a few moments as a guest, so we'll talk
to him about that. But his story, he quotes the
Assistant Attorney General Harmeat Dillon. She runs the civil Rights
(04:06):
division at the DOJ and Harmeet confirmed to John that
criminal charges are being considered and developed. So the question
is who could be charged? Well, let's begin with the
most obvious, special counsel, Jack Smith and his coterie of prosecutors,
who brought two meritless criminal cases against Donald Trump in
(04:29):
advance of the twenty twenty four election. The Florida federal
case involving custody of presidential records was always legally absurd,
and I said it the very day of the mar
A Lago raid on air, because the exclusive remedy over
(04:50):
presidential papers is civil, not criminal. But Smith mangled the
law to charged Trump anyway. And that's not all. Smith
covertly seized telephone data on more than four hundred Republicans,
(05:10):
anybody in Donald Trump's orbit, including Republican senators and congressmen,
without any notice to them, as the law demands. So
Jack Smith is in the criminal crosshairs. To be sure,
there's also Joe Biden's Attorney General, Merrick Carlin, who personally
(05:31):
signed off on the raid on Marral Logley bragged about it.
Now we've come to learn that there were stern warnings
from the FBI that wait a minute, you can't raid
his home because there's no probable cause to do so.
Newly declassified FBI records show that Garland and the GoJ
(05:53):
were told by the Washington Field office of the FBI
they were leading the case. There's no legal justification for
the raid on Trump's home because there's no evidence of
any crimes committed, thus no probable cause. Well, Merrick Garland
didn't care. So what did he do? He snoockered a
(06:16):
local anti Trump magistrate in Florida into signing off on
the warrant, and then Garland weaponized the law to bring
a silly case against Donald Trump to stop his bid
for reelection. All right, So that's Garland, that Smith. What
about state prosecutors like Fannie Willis and Alvin Bragg, Well,
(06:38):
the DOJ is surely looking at them as well, whether
they conspired with others to illegally target Trump for purely
political reasons. And I'd probably toss in Letitia James into
the mix as well. But look, the abuse of law
and criminality that I've just identified predates all of that,
(07:01):
going all the way back to the Russia hoax code
named Crossfire Hurricane by James Cummy's FBI comy and his confederates.
Knew at the outset that Trump never colluded with Russia
to steal the twenty sixteen election. The CIA discovered that
(07:22):
it was all a damning fiction that was invented by
none other than Hillary Clinton's campaign and personally approved by her.
In late July of that year. Her campaign and Democrats
funded the bogus dossier in a deliberate attempt to smear Trump,
(07:46):
distract from her own email scandals and her foundation scandals
where she was receiving a ton of money from Russians,
And they did it to help Hillary win and defeat
Donald Trump. Meetings were held at the White House Obama, Biden, Comy.
(08:10):
They were told what Clinton had done, and instead of
coming clean and telling the truth to Congress and the
American people, what did they do? They clammed up, and
they concealed the truth. And then Comy went about using
the fake dossier to launch his dilating investigation of Trump
(08:35):
to stop him from winning the election. And when that failed,
Comy and his team doubled down. They tried to drive
Trump from office. There's compelling evidence that Comy covered up
exculpatory evidence, deceived the Vice A Court with lies, and
(08:56):
together with CIA director John Brennan, manipulated intelligence all to
frame Trump for imaginary crimes that he never committed. Comey
even went to Trump Tower just before the inauguration and
tried to entrap Trump with false accusations. Remember the p tape.
(09:19):
It was phony, But that's what Komy was using. A
few months later, Comy was fired and on his way
out the door, he stole FBI documents and leaked them
to the media for the admitted purpose of triggering a
special counsel who just happened to be his longtime friend
(09:42):
and former colleague, Robert Muller. And we know how that
story went. Muller hired a team of partisans who hated Trump,
and they spent the better part of two years looking
in every nook and cranny and under every rock, and
in the end and they were forced to admit in
their report, we found no evidence of a criminal collusion
(10:07):
conspiracy between Trump and Russia.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Thirty five million dollars later, Oh sorry, there's no there there.
And the media, they were all in. They convicted Trump
in the court of public opinion without a shred of evidence.
They never bothered to verify anything. They just reacted with
a ho hum. Let's move on to our next foe scandal.
(10:34):
No maya culpa, no apology, classic crooked media. So all
of the people who were involved in the Russia hoax
are currently the subject of the Department of Justice's criminal investigation.
Now I know what you're saying, wait a minute, what
about the statute limitations? All of that was so long ago,
(10:58):
and you're you're right. While it's true that the statue
limitations expired for many of the suspected crimes, it is
not true in any ongoing criminal conspiracy case that might
encompass lies and cover ups. And to that point, the
(11:20):
new FBI Director Cashpittel discovered lo and behold burn bags
hidden in a room at the FBI that were filled
with allegedly incriminating evidence from the James Comey era. What's
that called obstruction of justice? And the statute limitations begins
(11:44):
ticking only upon the discovery of those documents, which was
rather recent. So this coming year, you're going to see
a grand jury in South Florida, convened by a US
attorney there who is already issued dozens of subpoena's criminal
(12:04):
indictments in twenty twenty six could follow. We'll be talking
about it with John Solomon in just a few minutes,
and we'll be taking your phone calls after that. Our
number is one eight hundred nine to four to one
seventy three twenty six. That's one eight hundred nine four
to one Sean love to hear from you. Give me
(12:25):
a call. I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean Hannity.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Sean. Greg Jarrett filling
in for Sean Today. Let's go right to our phone lines.
Mike in San Antonio joins us. Mike, how are you?
Do you have a question or a comment?
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Greg, A big fan, especially your expertise, and I'm we're
sure blessed that you're on our side.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
But I do have a question.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
All the Conservatives where bogus charges seem to get prosecuted
and go to jail. Is anybody on the left ever
going to go to prison? The Clintons, the Bidens, and
now most recently the fraud going on in Minnesota, But
nobody ever seems to go to jail.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Its very frustrating.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, No, I share your concern, and I think that
you're going to see in this next year, this new year.
I mean, it's taken a while to gather some of
the evidence. For example, as I mentioned a moment ago,
the burn bags were discovered at the FBI implicating James
coming a host of his confederates. That's obstruction of justice.
(13:30):
But I you know, and yesterday Jack Smith appeared before
the House Judiciary Committee. A bunch of his aides have
either clammed up or taken the fifth. You know, I
think he's in legal jeopardy. You know, I think people
associated with Merrick Garland at the dog Jay bringing meritless cases.
(13:55):
I think the grand jury and the US Attorney in
South Florida going to be looking at that closely. There's
also a grand jury in the state of Missouri that
is also looking at a wide variety of potentially wrongful acts,
all of it falling under the category of law fair
(14:16):
against Donald Trump. So, you know, the people who did
this may have thought they could get away with it,
but I'm hoping that they'll be held accountable in the
new year, twenty twenty six. So you know, stay tuned,
we'll wait and see. We're going to pause and take
(14:38):
a quick break in a moment or two. I want
to mention one other thing. You know, somebody asked me
recently what were the big fails by the Democratic Party. Well,
my answer was that Democrats sued Donald Trump over anything
and everything, and it boomeranged against them because when they
(15:00):
lost those cases, then they lost most of them. The
rulings had the unintended effect of vastly expanding Trump's presidential power.
More than five hundred times Trump and his administration have
been sued in eleven months. That's more than one a day,
(15:21):
and the major cases the winter to the Supreme Court,
Trump won ninety percent of the time. So that's quite
an astonishing record, and it boomeranged against Democrats. We'll be
right back with the Sean Hennity Show you.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We'll hear the mainstream press talking about this stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Sean Hannity is on the radio, and welcome back to
the Sean Hennity Show on Greg Jared filling in for
Sean Hannity today. We're going to be getting to your
phone calls in just a moment. I see Duke is standing,
Biso's Robert and Florida. We'll get to you guys in
just a minute. Give us a call. It one eight
hundred ninety four one seventy three twenty six. That is
(16:04):
one eight hundred nine four one. Sean love to hear
from you, take your questions or your comments. Very pleased
to have with us. My old friend, the finest investigative
reporter in America who is broken just about every story
(16:25):
beginning with the Russia hoax back in twenty sixteen, in
twenty seventeen, all the way up to the latest involving
Arctic frost in the Jack Smith Merrick Garland misbegotten investigation
that tried to nail Donald Trump for imaginary crimes that
(16:50):
he did not commit. And John joins us now on
the telephone, and John, thanks for being with us. I
was reading your latest story that came out today and
people can check it out on justthnews dot com. It's
entitled doj Ey's Civil Rights actions against Feds and state
officials who pursued Trump and Maga tell us about that
(17:14):
if you would.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah, this is a big moment.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
This is the first time the Justice Department has ever
said on the record. It was Harmei Dillon. He's just
an attorney general for civil rights. Sometimes you think civil
rights to think, oh, it's going to be.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
A civil case.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
No, she says she believes she sees a conspiracy, a
criminal conspiracy by federal and state officials to infringe the
civil liberties of President Trump and his followers. The MAGA
world from twenty seventeen all the way to twenty twenty four,
that is a profound statement on the record, very clearly,
and then she lays out, Listen, it's no different than
(17:46):
what the klu Klux Plan tried to do to African
Americans back in the sixties, and we're going to treat
it the same way. If someone's entitled to due process,
if someone's entitled to probable cause, and you trample over that,
if someone's innocent, you keep investigating them, you have infringed
their civil liberties. And it is a criminal matter, not
a civil matter. That was a pretty extraordinary thing. And
(18:07):
just a few minutes ago, I just got off the
phone with Jonathan Gilliam, decorated retired FBI agent, former Navy seal,
and he said, listen, I did a lot of mob cases.
I did a lot of organized prime cases. I am
telling you now the pattern of protecting Hillary Clinton, pursuing
Donald Trump, protecting Hunter Biden, pursuing Donald Trump when there
was no evidence for Trump and there was lots of
(18:27):
evidence against Clinton and Hunter Biden, that that is a
slam dunk conspiracy case. I could make it tomorrow, and
I could get a conviction tomorrow. He was very animated
about how strong the body of evidence is, so you're
beginning to see people talk the way you've been talking.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Greg. You laid this case out years ago.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I think the justice system has finally caught up to you.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, thank you, I appreciate it. Yeah. In fact, in
my first book called The Russia Hoaes, I went into
enormous detail with discovered facts about the corruption at the
Hillary Clinton Foundation. I mean, they hundreds of millions of
(19:09):
Russian rubles flowing into the Clinton Foundation, which Bill and
Hillary used as their personal piggybang, and there was an
FBI investigation into it, and you reported a couple of
days ago. I'll read the title of your column, New
(19:33):
Memos show how corruption probe into Clinton foundation was killed.
So my question is who killed it? How did they
do it?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
It's pretty easy.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
They just simply said shut it down. That was Sally
It's a deputy attorney general.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
For Barack Obama.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Then we had Andy McCabe, the deputy FBI director, who,
by the way, should never have been overseeing a case
against Hillary Clinton. Why he had recused himself from Hillary
It matters on paper but not in practice, because his
wife had benefited from donations arranged by one of Hillary
Clinton's acolytes. In fact, the donations were arranged to help
his wife runt for a Virginia state senden see right
(20:12):
at the time, some of the Clinton family was under investigation.
So you got Andy mccave at the seventh floor of
the FBI, the Deputy director, number two, most powerful person
in the FBI, and you get the Deputy Attorney General
right below the REDDA lynch saying shut it down.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
You don't get it. You don't get.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Anything unless I approve it. And of course the DYE
mcab didn't. And then you have scores of FBI agents
who are writing memos chronicling how they were thwarted in
the face of real evidence. It is a classic case
of obstruction. A lot of people have looked at it.
And Jonathan Gilliam again a guy who took on the
mob in some big cities and brought some big cases,
like this is some of the worst stuff I've seen.
(20:49):
They acted like they were a mob, They acted like
they were a drug cartel, except they weren't playing with drugs,
and they weren't playing with gambling earnings. They were playing
with the civil liberties every day Americans.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah, and it wasn't just that the Obama administration shut
down this criminal investigation into wrongdoing by the Clintons and
their foundation. But then, of course, it was James Comey
who famously killed any potential prosecution of Hillary Clinton in
(21:26):
her email scandal, which she clearly had obviously violated the
Espionage Act, either intentionally, and I think it was quite
intentional or recklessly, and on either basis you can bring
criminal charges. And James Commy stood in front of television
cameras and usurped the authority of the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch,
(21:52):
and said, we're not going to bring criminal charges against
Hillary Clinton because no reasonable prosecutor would do such a thing,
which is a standard, by the way, that doesn't exist
in the law. And you know, even though before he
said those words, he laid out how Hillary Clinton had
(22:14):
clearly committed crimes under the espion Isaac I nearly fell
off my chair when that happened. I think the date
was July fifth, twenty sixteen. And by the way, as
I reported in my book The Russia Hoax, the very
moment he's uttering those words wrongfully clearing Hillary Clinton, the
(22:36):
FBI is holding its first meeting in London with Christopher
Steele obtaining the first of several memos that composed his
infamous dossier. I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
You can't.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
No, Unfortunately, it is all real. Jim Jordan has said
this a few times on our show and of Chrise.
Jim Jordan was a big part of helping you and
me and the American public unravelus.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
As the Judiciary com Be chairman, he said, we not
had it. Only we didn't have it.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Only right, John or Greg you could say it because
you were right on top of us. It's a lot
worse than we originally fought.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
And I think that that's right.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I think people are waking up to the idea that
the pattern is so pronounced, that the intentionality is so provable.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Think about Andy McCabe.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
He's supposed to be recused, but he's sitting on the
Hillary Clinton case. Think of James Comy. He knows he
used to be in the Justice Department. He knows the
FBI doesn't make prosecutive decisions.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
He makes him.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Think of all the people, including James Comy and others
who signed those and Andy McCabe and others who signed
those vice of warrens. Knowing that the evidence in them
was not true. It had long since been debunked. You
have a level of intentionality now. And I think what
HARMEI Dylan did yesterday, he was put the nation on
notice that something big is about to happen. My reporting
(23:54):
indicates that a grand jury will be impaneled on January
twod in Fort Pure support will begin looking at the
era of weaponization, starting with the IRS. And by the way,
Jack Smith was back all the way in the IRS case.
He was advising Lois Learner and how to go about
this all the way to the raid on President Trump's
house and the twenty twenty four prosecutions that occurred as
(24:15):
one ongoing criminal conspiracy to infringe or deprive the civil
liberties of Americans around President Trump, MAGA and President Trump.
That is a bombshell statement from the Assistant Attorney General,
and I think a sign that maybe for the first time,
we're not going to get taps on the hands in
another Oh well, we missed the statute of limitations, but
(24:35):
we may get a real predicated criminal case with real
teeth in it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
And so you know, the question that people routinely have
is how do you get around the Statute of limitations.
But as you've explained it, and I believe as a lawyer,
you're right about it. You get around it by alleging
an ongoing criminal conspiracy, right.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Yeah, events that occurred outside the statute limitations mirror and
are connected to events that are still inside the investigation.
And I think one of the most important events for
a conspiracy case is the stuff that we now have
confirmed from Cash Mattel, from Chuck Grassey, from Jim Jordan,
from Ron Johnson that in January of this year, the
(25:24):
most contemporaneous crime that we know of in this cycle,
a group of FBI agents in the final days of
the Biden administration, we're trying to burn, shred and high
documents from multiple investigations. What were those investigations, the Clintons
January sixth Russia collusion Ukraine. In the minds of the
people who were allegedly burning those documents or hiding those
(25:47):
documents or destroying those documents, those cases somehow were connected.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They were part of a mission. That is the most
overt act that says, Hey, the people who were involved
in this believe that these things were connected.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
That's why they were destroyed At the end of the
Biden administration. I think a lot of people are going
to seize on that woman that grand jury gets before
it gets going in Fort Pierce, Florida pre soon.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
And you know, the other bombshell that has been dropped
is that the FBI newly declassified documents just came out.
They show the FBI repeatedly warned Merrick Garland and the DOJ,
you don't have probable cause to raid Trump's home. I mean,
(26:30):
probable cause is evidence that shows it's more probable than
not that crimes were committed. And essentially the FBI was saying,
wait a minute. These records confirmed that there's really no
hard evidence that the documents were classified. They may have
been declassified by Trump and agents emphasized to the DOJ.
(26:55):
Trump's cooperating, we should just continue the dialogue if we
want these documents to be given to the National Archives,
which is a debatable argument, right.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Well, listen. The other thing is they were treating Joe
Biden very differently. At the same time they're going after
Donald Trump. They're discovering that Joe Biden had costed my
documents by the way he was a vice president, didn't
have the same declassification powers as President Trump and the kid.
They're treating Joe Biden with kid gloves, and we'll just
work this out with them. We'll go see it, let's
have them return it. Let's go voluntarily, you know, interview
(27:30):
him and go get the documents. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is
there's literally a line in these emails where the Justice
Department says, we're not interested in accommodating President Trump.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
We're going to raid him.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
That is amazing, and I thinking, well, well, we can't
raid him.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
We don't have proof that he committed the crime.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
We don't approve, we don't have the right to go
into his office or to his bedroom.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
And they're like, we don't care, we're doing it.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
That is the sort of stuff that someone like a
Jonathan Gilliam who brought big cases seat is that that's criminal,
that's a conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
That is prime.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
I face the evidence that multiple people were involved in
the conspiracy to infringe President Trump and his followers' rights.
And I think that's the moment we're about to head
into all the great work you've done, the two great
books you've done.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Greg. Twenty twenty six.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Could be the year where we see some form of
real accountability, because by god, we haven't gotten it up
to this point.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
All right. You know, to anybody who doesn't follow John Solomon,
you must, you must always log on to justthinews dot com.

I read in the morning. You should too, John, many
thanks for taking their time to talk to us about
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Thank you, my friends. I admire you so much. And
Merry Christmas to.
