of fbi agents. trump wrote, nothing like this has ever happened to the president of the united states before. trump said the raid which was unannounced amounts to, quote, prosecutorial misconduct, an attack by the radical left democrats who desperately dont want me to run for president in 2024, especially based on recent polls. trump said agents broke into his safe. former president noted that hillary clinton was allowed to delete and acid wash 33,000 emails aof they were subpoenaed by...

Conversation. i cant help but note congress expanded the irs enforcement agency by 87,000 new agents. you know, i think the burden of proof for the doj on this allegation, this investigation, into donald trump, is going to be more than the burden of proof in a court of law. the american people have lost trust in institutions, media, science, medical, fbi, intelligence agencies. what do you think, on the back end of this, stephen, will be the attitude of the american people toward institutions th...

Jeff joins us now. jeff, as you see everything unfold, and of course your recent experience, whats your reaction? >> well, will, thanks to you to be here, but im outraged for president trump, and more importantly im outraged for the presidency. this is an unprecedented step that just shows the department is being weaponized, that its out of control, that the fbi is out of control. id heard earlier remarks by steve bannon about the deep state or the administrative state. i think of them as a live...

Sadly joe biden, seem to be running the fbi and its priorities. >> will: miranda, you characterized it as potentially a fishing expedition. shannon bream said they have to have their next steps in mind. whatever it is, i think something is clear, the burden of proof is going to be incredibly high on the american institution, because the electorate, a large percentage of the electorate, are looking at this with a great amount of jaundiced skep simple. miranda, great to talk to you this evening. >...

Right. i think this is where, you know, the american people need to ask very difficult questions. congress needs to ask difficult questions. because at the end of the day if theyre planning on bringing donald trump to washington, d.c. in front of a washington, d.c. jury and a washington, d.c. judge, you know, this republic is maybe not strong enough to bear that burden ultimately. but we will see. you know, the fbi is into an unprecedented area. the department of under democratic leadership i th...

Trump saved us from a lot back in 2016, but even trump couldnt bring us through all of this. however, together we can take back our republic and have to get unified. >> will: joe, i understand youre currently leading your race for congress. best of luck. thank you tonight for jumping on "tucker carlson tonight." >> absolutely. thank you for having me. >> will: reports tonight that the raid on donald trumps mar-a-lago residence was approved at the highest levels of the doj at the very least. dona...

About those documents and they are -- im assuming classified has a lot to do with this, that they were not supposed to be removed because their classification. youre assuming when he left he still had the power of the presidency and took those documents. doesnt he also have the power to declassify documents, jonathan? >> he does. i testified on that in congress on this very issue with -- about president trump, when he was still president. he had the ultimate declassification authority that ended...

They were concerned that i would destroy evidence, they have been in my email and my text messages and my phone calls for two years. probably longer because the "new york times" reported on january 20th, 17 that i was among three people in the trump campaign under active surveillance. hopefully we will learn something about that in discovery of this case. >> tucker: so that gets right to the heart of the charges against you, which are primarily for lying to congress. one of the things you are ac...

Police proclivities maybe roger stone would enjoy prison. get it? stone may get raped behind bars. how awesome is that? so how should the rest of us people who arent spending our lives on twitter feel about what happened this morning? is america safer? not if you believed in the russia collusion story we still havent caught those vale alans two years in still no evidence at all that any american committed an actual crime during the 2016 election. roger stone, for example, stands accused of miss ...

Randy crecko. he served as intermediary with julian assange who runs wikileaks. now, none of what stone or credico did with assange is illegal. journalists do that kind of thing all the time. its the lying, we are told, mustay be punished with jail time. okay. but, again -- we have noted this before -- what you are looking at here is a brand new standard of conduct, t one that nobody has been paying close attention to this country for the last 20 years would even recognize. theresno an awful lot...
