AND THEN HUNG UP. HARRIS. >> Harris: CLASSY. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. JASON CHAFFETZ, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR AND FORMER CHAIR OF THE HOUSE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE AS A UTAH CONGRESSMAN AS WELL IS WITH US HERE TODAY. WHAT DO YOU THINK WHAT BRYAN JUST REPORTED. THEY GET A CALL FROM JUDICIARY
AND THEY CALL WHATEVER IS GOING ON ON CAPITOL HILL B.S. THEIR WORDS. THEIR WORDS. >> AS THE FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE CONGRESS HAS THE JURISDICTION TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING. INVESTIGATE AND BRING FORTH GOVERNORS, ATTORNEYS GENERAL, TREASURERS, AND THERE IS NO REASON TO THINK THAT BECAUSE YOU
ARE A PROSECUTOR YOU GET SOME SPECIAL TREATMENT AND HANDS OFF. CONGRESS HAS NEVER RECOGNIZED THE IDEA THAT JUST BECAUSE THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION YOU CAN’T BE TOUCHED. THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING 9/11. DO YOU THINK CONGRESS WOULD SIT AROUND AND NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE FEDS GOT DONE WITH THEIR INVESTIGATION?
THERE ARE A LOT OF CIRCUMSTANCES. JIM JORDAN, THE CHAIRMAN OF JUDICIARY AND THE CHAIRMAN OF OVERSIGHT MAKE A CASE. IF THERE IS A DULY ISSUED SUBPOENA SERVED BY UNITED STATES MARSHALS YOU BETTER DARN WELL APPEAR BEFORE THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS. IT IS NOT OPTIONAL. >> Harris: I WOULDN’T ANTAGONIZE
PEOPLE WITH POWER BY CUSSEDING AT THEM. LET’S GET BACK TO THE POSSIBILITY OF WHERE WE ARE WITH THIS INDICTMENT. THEY’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR DAYS AND THE GRAND JURY LOOKING AT THE CASE. THE TRUMP CAMP YOU MIGHT EXPECT THEM TO SAY THEY’VE QUIET LE DROPPED THE CASE. I’VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG
BECAUSE OF THE HE HAVE — BECAUSE OF THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE IT MIGHT NOT REACH INDICTMENT. ESPECIALLY WHEN ALVIN BRAGG, OLD BOSS AND DOJ ALL PASSED ON IT INITIALLY. >> THIS IS SUCH A WEAK CASE. I THINK DEMOCRATS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL BEHIND THE SCENES ARE SAYING REALLY, THIS IS WHAT
WE’LL GO AFTER THE GUY? THEY’VE BEEN GOING AFTER DONALD TRUMP SINCE HE DESCENDED THE GOLDEN ESCALATOR. THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET HIM. AFTER THE MUELLER PROBE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE DEFINITIVE MOMENT TO SAY WE GAVE HIM A POLITICAL ENEMA LIKE NOBODY ELSE AND THERE IS NOTHING THERE.
THE GUY HAS TO COMMIT A CRIME TO ACTUALLY BE INDICTED AND HE HASN’T DONE THAT. AND SO IF THEY ARE GOING TO TRY TO INDICT HIM ON THIS WEAK CASE, IT IS JUST GOING TO BE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE WHOLE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. >> Harris: THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SHOULD KNOWS THE ODDS AND ENDS
OF WHATEVER IS HAPPENING WITH A FORMER OR CURRENT PRESIDENT. HUNTER BIDEN INVESTIGATION GOING ON, TOO. PEOPLE SHOULD BE COVERING THE SAME STORE EAVES BUT WE KNOW IT DOESN’T WORK THAT WAY EPISCOPAL WILL I IN THIS CASE. SENATOR RON JOHNSON IS CALLING OUT THE DIFFERENCES IN TREATMENT OF FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
THE FIRST SON, HUNTER BIDEN. LET’S WATCH. >> WE HAVE A MULTIPLE TIER SYSTEM OF JUSTICE. WELL CONNECTED DEMOCRATS AND THE KID GLOVE TREATMENT THAT HUNTER BIDEN EXPERIENCED. IS THERE A SERIOUS INVESTIGATION? WE DON’T KNOW. IT’S A POLITICAL PROSECUTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP. NOT A FAIR FIGHT OR LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.
>> Harris: ACCORDING TO A REVIEW BY THE MEDIA RESEARCH CENTER ON MARCH 19TH JUST DAYS AFTER THE HUNTER BANK RECORD STORY BROKE, THE FOUR LIBERAL SUNDAY TALK SHOWS SPENT NEARLY 47 MINUTES ON POSSIBLE TRUMP INDICTMENTS AND EXACTLY 0 MINUTES ON THE NEW HUNTER BIDEN DEVELOPMENTS UNCOVERED BY JAMES COMER.
THAT WAS BASED ON SUBPOENA RECORDS FROM THE ACTUAL BANKS. >> YEAH, ONE IS BASED ON ACTUAL DOCUMENTATION THAT WAS UNEARTHED AND THE OTHER IS JUST ANOTHER SERIES OF SALACIOUS RUMORS. THIS IS WHY A MAJORITY, I BELIEVE, OF AMERICA LOOKS AT THIS AND SAYS THE APPLICATION OF JUSTICE IS A 2-WAY STREET.
LADY JUSTICE ISN’T WEARING A BLAND FOLD. SHE PEAKS TO SEE IF IT’S A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. TRUMP OR NOT A TRUMP AND THEN MAKES A DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO PURSUE IT. SHAME ON THE MAJOR NEWS OUTLETS OF THIS NATION WHO HAVE LACKED TOTAL INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY TO GO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.
ABC NEWS AT THIS POINT STILL HAS NOT VERIFIED WHETHER OR NOT THAT LAPTOP IS HUNTER BIDEN’S. EVERY OTHER NEWS ORGANIZATION IS AT LEAST SAYING YEAH, THAT LAPTOP IS TRUE. ABC NEWS IS NOT TAKING A LOOK AT IT AT THIS POINT. THAT IS SO FUNDAMENTALLY TOTALLY WRONG. HUNTER BIDEN ADMITS CRIMES IN
HIS BOOK AND WE HAVE RECEIPTS THAT ARE THERE THAT SHOW MONEY FLOWING OVERSEAS WHILE JOE BIDEN IS THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. YOU HAVE THE FORMER F.B.I. DIRECTOR LOUIE FREE ADMITTING IN A TEXT THAT HE GAVE $1 HUNDRED THOUSAND TO JOE BIDEN’S GRANDKIDS. SO WHAT EXCUSE IS THERE FOR THAT, HARRIS?
WE DO LEGITIMATE WORK. WHAT’S THE EXCUSE FOR GIVING $1 HUNDRED THOUSAND TO JOE BIDEN’S GRANDKIDS? >> Harris: WE DON’T KNOW. THAT’S THE WHOLE POINT AND WHERE I STARTED. THE AMERICAN PUBLIC NEEDS TO KNOW THE RAMP-UP AND THE COVERAGE OF THIS HAS TO BE EVEN NO MATTER WHO IS IN THE CROSSHAIRS.
THE SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTS. 150 PLUS FOR THE BIDENS? SO MUCH THERE TO DIG INTO. WHEN IT ALL BREAKS OFF IT WILL END UP WHERE IT WILL END UP, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WON’T HAVE SEEN THAT JOURNEY. A NEW THREAT FROM RUSSIA’S PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN. PUTIN WANTS TO PUT TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN BELARUS.
THAT’S UKRAINE’S NEIGHBOR TO THE NORTH. THIS WOULD MARK THE VERY FIRST TIME RUSSIA HAS MOVED ITS NUCLEAR WEAPONS OUTSIDE ITS BORDER SINCE THE 1990s. PUTIN SAID IT IS IN RESPONSE TO GREAT BRITAIN SENDING ARMY PIERCING AMMUNITION TO UKRAINE FORCES. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT SEES NO IMMINENT RISK. MIKE GALLAGHER SAYS AMERICAN
SHOULD NOT DISMISS PUTIN’S THREAT. >> WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY INDICATION THAT HE HAS MADE GOOD ON THIS PLEDGE OR MOVED ANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS AROUND. WE HAVE SEEN NO INDICATION THAT HE HAS ANY INTENTION TO USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS PERIOD. >> PUTIN HAS ENGAGED IN NUCLEAR SABER RATTLING SINCE THE START OF THE CRISIS.
IT IS SOMETHING TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT BUT WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW HIS THREATS TO DETER US. WE CAN’T ALLOW IT TO BE A CAUSE FOR DELAYING CRITICAL WEAPONS SYSTEMS WE NEED TO DELIVER TO THE UKRAINIANS. >> Harris: CRITICS SAY PRESIDENT BIDEN’S FOREIGN POLICY HAS LED TO THIS. >> WHEN YOU PROJECT WEAKNESS YOU
INVITE AGGRESSION AND WAR. PUTIN INVADING UKRAINE AND CHAIRMAN XI IN CHINA THREATENING TAIWAN AND THE PACIFIC. ALL THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME AND IT IS NOT BY ACCIDENT. >> FOR AMERICA IT MATTERS. YOU NOW HAVE THESE TWO POWERS COMBINED WORKING AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
THE FACT THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS LET THIS HAPPEN IS TRAGIC AND UNNECESSARY. >> Harris: JASON, WHO IS PUTTING AMERICA FIRST? >> UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE A PRESIDENT CURRENTLY WHO DOESN’T SEEM VERY ENGAGED IN THIS. HE IS NOT A GOOD COMMUNICATOR. WE DO NEED TO CONTINUE TO PUSH
NATO TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE STRENGTH THAT WE HAVE THERE. BUT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FIGHT ON THE EAST AND FIGHT IN THE WEST AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR UNITED STATES MILITARY IS PROPERLY PREPARED TO DEAL WITH BOTH SETS OF ISSUES. BUT INCREASINGLY ALL WE HEAR
ABOUT IS A LOT OF THESE WOKE POLICIES AS OPPOSED TO FIGHTING AND WINNING WARS. THE DEPLETION OF OUR STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE, THE DEPLETION NOW BY SHIPPING AMMUNITION AND OTHER WEAPONS SYSTEMS OVER TO UKRAINE. ARE WE ABLE TO FIGHT ON BOTH FRONTS? THOSE ARE LEGITIMATE CONCERNS. >> Harris: YOUR LINE BIDEN IS

They are so squeaky, clean, nothing to see 😂
Xi and Putin have no respect for biden much like many other world leaders as well as hundreds of millions American citizens
Putin is full of it. Depleted uranium is just his justification to rattle the saber.
Political persecution under the color of law. This is how the Republic ends…
Trump is the embarrassment
Kinda like the subpoena Kim Jong Jordan dodged the jan 6 CMT sent him.. Where was the outrage when Donald's lawyer michael cohen was indicted for the same case? .. You guys aren't even a real news corporation shame on the mainstream news ? You guys say one thing on television and the exact opposite in private !! Why did Jared Kushner receive 2 billion from the Saudis???
Bragg is gona pay big time for targeting trump. He may cause a riot.
it does not matter how many false claims they make they never admit being wrong
Yeah, URANIUM armor-piercing rounds!
You are correct… Fox and all its employees are an embarrassment to this country.
Investigate the Biden administration and stop wasting tax money
What about defending the USA
100% what happened in Nashville is Joe Biden’s fault he’s got to take the blame for it he sucks as a president and he doesn’t care for the American people and he needs to tell everybody that what happened at that school was a hate crime
U.S. at war 98% of it's existence. ALL wars are bankers wars and blood is traded for GOLD by the money changers while Ziolensky locks up Priests.
HEY FOX NEWS, how come THIS interview with Jason Chaffetz is NOT ON YOUR CHANNEL?? =/
"I thought he was horrific, I think that was the worst interview I've ever seen him do, he was whining he was complaining he played the victim card time and time again, and then after that he complained that somebody he endorsed was now running against him and I thought he was absolutely horrific, he's the former president of the united states, start acting like it!"
I can be seen EVERYWHERE else by people who don't flat out deny the interviews existence and refuse to look for or watch it so why not on FOX NEWS where it took place?? Thank you for taking the time to consider my comment, have a lovely day. =D
If you could be embarrassed you wouldn't be anywhere near Fox.
FOX is a national embarrassment. No. International. “We can investigate anything, anytime, anywhere we want, as long as it’s not a Republican.”
Dont like this guy Lol😅😂😅🫡🫡
What’s the answer ? Trump 2024
JASON CHAFFETZ…leave, —-fire the creep.
One sided reporting by Jason Chaffetz—do not understand why he is still on FOX..WHY? Shalom , Warren TRUMP 2024
When will gun safety laws be implemented? Doing nothing solves nothing
CAN U SAY… MONRY LAUNDERING!!!?
The arguments that Trump, as ex-president, should be immune from most prosecution have some merit. Seems feds dont have the guts or will to go after major crimes he committed ,so states are left with crumbs which seem petty when looking at the big picture. Trump never had any respect for laws or the system, so he has a lifetime of skirting laws , often ending in court settlements. These cases are no different , he wont go to jail and pays another fine . Trump supporters should recognize these cases are what Trump loves and lives for , as they keep him in spotlight and receiving donations. Bragg and others are just state employees doing their jobs. Trump got more donations in past week than NY fine could be . He loves this stuff and his loyalists should too. Bragg is actually helping him, but not enough to win 24 general election, without it being very corrupted , which is also the plan.. .
Yes, you and Fox are a national embarrassment.

I think it should be investigated in the past and present in terms of political impartiality and credibility whether Fox News was informed and deliberately withheld from the people the now-known state structures.
Chaffetz is clueless. No it is not Congresses prerogative to interfere in ongoing investigations. There is a law against that.
And if subpoenas aren’t optional, then why isn’t Jim Jordan being prosecuted for violating a Congressional subpoena.
It’s pretty clear that top,Republicans are corrupt, and don’t really support the law.
We have courts to judge the merits of cases, and it shouldn’t be done by partisan politicians who clearly do not really support the law.
The atheist globalist socialists are destroying the US, and most other western countries. Even Tel Aviv in Israel is having a psychotic leftist meltdown, and they cannot afford to let the left back into power, or it will spell the end of the world.
The country is divided by those who are aligned with imperial agendas and patriots. Bragg is a criminal. He's embarrassed himself
This is a Stalin Show Trial.
Congress CONS, can't protect border without funds. Can't protect small banks without regulators. Ceiling is only about paying bills. But CONs NOT interested, ONLY likes publicity stunts.
Those !d!ot Democrats are going to he!!
With all their lies.
And this administration has been right on so much so why shouldn't I be worried.
bye bye miss American pie
I am really sick of the unconscienceable behavoir of the Democrats. There are soo many Democrats that are Pinocchio's and I would not ever vote again for any of them.
Aww say Hunter 3 times and woke 5 times spin around til you dizzy as hell and Donald Trump will still haven been impeached twice and under investigation for paying off prostitutes with campaign funds. Now for some real commentary Meatball Ron has banned common sense in Florida because it is too woke and the dumber than a bag of rocks Florida school boards and parents that voted that fascist groomer in won’t know what hit them until it’s too late. Florida children deserve so much better. US children under attack and have been long term and for generations and US leaders and those in positions to protect them have utterly and completely failed them in every way possible. Good luck people of the human race☮️
What was an "embarrasement " was when Jason Chaveetz and Trey Gowdy and company kept voting spineless Paul Ryan back into his Speaker position after a measurable first year ( when the GOP controlled the House and the Senate ) !!!
Get in line with your national embarrassments
N o signing that sipeeennnba😅
