Laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle, thank you for joining us tonight. The conspiracy of dunces, that is the focus of tonights angle. It is bad for the Trump Hush Money Trial Prosecution when the New York Times feels compelled to call out the cases weakness. Jed shugerman, Law Professor at boston called alvin braggs case a historic mistake, writing, their vague allegation about a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 election more concern about unprecedented use of state law and avoidance of election crime or fraud. Thats all . Beyond that, he writes, it is legal for a candidate to pay a nondisclosure agreement, hush money is unseemly, but it is legal. Bottom line here. As honest objective minds concluded, underlying conduct alleged is a violation of federal Campaign Finance rules, one problem with that, the fec looked at the case and decided against pursuing it. From day one, alvin bragg was a man on a political, not a legal mission. It was to charge trump with whatever just to keep him in court, maybe get lucky and get a conviction. Truth is, underlying conduct does not merit a misdemeanor charge, there is no intent to defraud without a federal crime in this case. This is a political Hit Job Being Run by one of bidens doj former top officials. Are we to actually believe the lead prosecutor Matthew Colangelo landed this job at this time by accident . One of the former top officials in the biden doj, this has bidens fingerbe prints all over it, a sloppy mess to boot. Matthew colangelo trying to convince the jury the case is a conspiracy and coverup, trump, david pecker, and cohen formed a conspiracy to influence the election. Piece of work. Matthew colangelo should be sanctioned for trying to argue there is a conspiracy when he never charged trump with a conspiracy. You cant prove this case without proving the facts on federal election law and this is not a big revelation to any of you, state courts have no jurisdiction over federal election law matters. I think it is becoming clear to all of you now. If they were going to charge conspiracies to affect an election, i have a question, why wasnt Hillary Clinton and fusion gps charged under the same theory . The setup, surveillance of trump, the steele dossier, all of it. Million dollars went from Clinton Campaign to pnc to a law firm who funneled it to steele and dug up the dirt. That was real election int interference, my friends. Any conspiracy here, reasonable to find one in biden world, where one of merrick garlands top dogs wound up in alvin Braggs Office as lead counsel against trump. As media coconspirators are in the echo chamber. Listen for conspiracy and scheme. A catch and kill, pattern of behavior, trying to influence an election, that is where you want this jury focused for this witness. Pecker is at the center of the scheme to influence the election. This was conspiracy to help donald trump win the election. Laura again, there is no evidence of a scheme or a conspiracy. If there was, we know darn well alvin bragg could have charged it, he would have charged it or fec or doj would have charged it. But lets not lose the Forest For The Trees here. Matthew colangelo and alvin bragg, they of course want a conviction, theyre going to consider the case successful if it hurts trump in november. Take him off the trail for six or seven weeks, exhaust him. Any of us would be exhausted being forced to sit there day after day. That is victory for the left. This may be wishful thinking. Today trump did remote campaigning outside the courtroom. Big day in pennsylvania and we hope people get out and vote, it is important to vote, let them know were coming on november 5, maybe they will think about the person running for the senate in pennen approximate, dave mccormack. Pennsylvania, get out and vote. Laura i love the fact we pushed for mccormack in pennsylvania, smart move. The reality here is ugly. Donald trump is on trial in manhattan, not for what he did with his checkbook before the 2016 election. He is on trial because he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016 and they are worried he could beat biden, too. If i were trump, id lean into this and Outcampaign Biden in his own backdoor, why not a tuesday night rally in scranton. Scranton fills me with enormous pride, my mom lived in scranton since 1994. Where are you from . Scranton. Do you know anybody from scranton that doesnt brag about being from scranton . Laura i dont know how trump could match that energy and excitement and thats the angle. Joining me now, my legal eagles, mike davis, article three president , former law clerk to Justice Neil Gorsuch and bret tolman, and right on crime. Mike, start with you. I will jen psaki it for a moment and circle back to a prosecutor i mentioned in the angle, Matthew Colangelo. Watch. Why Matthew Colangelo, why would he give the opening . One thing alvin bragg has done well, pick prosecutors who are experienced and have interest about donald trump. Matthew colangelo is an example of someone who helped to the donald trump and he knows his way around a courtroom. Laura mike, he mentions nothing of the fact Matthew Colangelo, one of the top officials at doj and worked for leticia james. No involvement at all, not ap appearance of involvement from this administration . Yeah, so Matthew Colangelo is the was senior political appointee in the Biden Justice department, acting number three on the Parachute Team and number two to the number three. Before that he worked for the Obama Justice department, the Obama White House for tom perez, for eric holder, this guy is the f forrest gump again President Trump and pops up everywhere. Laura bret, talk about what happened today. We had the gag order hearing. Well get into a little of that later. Ap appearance of having the obamaBiden Justice department running this case. I think mike would agree with me, Matthew Colangelo isun aring this case, doing the nuts and bolts work to develop the argument, certainly not valid, day in and day out. What is appearance of that . Lets ignore the fact it is a step down for a federal prosecutor to lead the lofty heights of doj to jump into a District Attorneys Office, but not in this case, this was a step up. The objective here is to take down donald trump. I sat and listened to opening remarks and Opening Statements and ive listened to the questions about what has been asked of the witness so far, it makes me wonder if this prosecutor has read his own indictment. Ive never seen an individual be more off track than this prosecutor 2in this courtroom. The conspiracies, effort to bring in evidence i think will be a problem if it goes to appeal if they happen to get a conviction. It would be absurd to convict. You are not hearing about Fa Falseification of Business Records in order to get a conviction on what hes charged. You are hearing what they want to talk about, which is the conspiracy. I would say this, what political candidate is not trying to an election. They have not suggested a crime or criminal intent even close on this president. Laura yeah, that is what the New York Times, no conservative Law Professor argued today. They see what is coming down the pike here. What made me howl laughing today, the other nets were desperate to make this day of Trial Coverage seem interesting when theyre outside of the courtroom. Watch this. Here we have an update. Right now trump is passing a note to his attorney, who put it in his pocket. David pecker is inside the courtroom at the stand sipping water. There is a binder on the defendants table. It was so quiet in the room, you could only hear trump th thumbing through papers. Laura thumbing through things, note in his pocket, did someone burp, we missed that coverage. Washington post and New York Times both reported this was a dog of a case and they know it is a dog of a case. The other three criminal prosecutions couldnt get to trial, this is the case they are stuck with, their worst case. They are trying to put gloss on it, lip stick on a pig. Laura bret, they are trying to argue this gag order is like basically a threat to the trial if it is violated by trump. They are trying to boot Strap Violation of a gag order in my mind is fruit of the poifsonous tree itself to continue this farce a little longer . Well, laura, ive had cases 234 which a gag order was ordered by a judge and a few of them, they are very infrequent, but ive never in 25 years in Criminal Justice system, seen a gag order applied to the defendant, it is typically applied to protect a defendant. If implied, it is everyone in the case. Cohen can say anything he wants to say and the president cant respond, never seen anything like that. Laura all the rules can be bent or used like silly putty when trump is involved. Thank you both. Remember the Summer Of Love, 2020, what happened then . Are we about to see a new Summer Of Love .

Antisrael protests coast to a coast,rr students staged a walkt after 130 were arrested last night. Foxs Steve Harrigan has more. Steve 1500 Protesters Out N here, well watch as the night goestr down, Police Officers wi try to push them out or not. We it ires not clear how many students were arrested and how many were outsiders. Manyfect arrested were in theirc 20s. They want to shut down oncampus learning because c of atmospher created. We walked through the crowd and they werlle singing, from the riveasicr to the sea, palestinee be free, basically call for B Destruction of israel and to hear that being sung at new yory at a great university, it is stunning. Back to you. Laura steve, thanks so much, things have gotten so bad at columbia, the school is going , part online, part in person for the rest of your semester. Tuition dollars at work. Walk and take a step forward. Walk and take a step forward. So that we can. So that we can. Start to push them out of the camp. Out of the camp. Im bored. We we would like to you leave. Ld ld like you to leave. Laura joining me now is jessic a schwab, she took that a video, a columbia student and writer with the daily spectatorp jessica, what isen happening exactly . Wehear hea char chants in the v. What on campus is this feeling like . Imeant is honestly quite sca i pay toa lot of money to go to this institution and to think ir donyot have equal access to th lawns like everyone else and unfortunate an whad boa borderl crimnatory. You should believe i sn what yo believe in and have your rights preserved as a student. Laura an organizer spoke on msnbc. E watch. Atel outside detractors come try to spread hateful rhetoric, we stand for liberation and human rights and equality for jewish people, palestinians, that is whates were calling fo. Laura they are arguing they are not there to hurt anyone, they are there to get their point across. Im all for the right to in peacefully protest. When youerta deny students acce through unilaterally making ir unilateral decisions that is unfair. I had no say in what their Community Guidelines were and they tell everyone that enters, they must agree to in order to enter. It is unfair. jessica, it is harder tor get to your dorm or classes at columbis toa than it is to c the u. S. Southern border now. You have to go through the guantanamolet, show id, walk across the border and you are io heren,. Te how much does it cost in tuition and room and board at columbia . I believe each year, i pay close to 90,000. For me to not have access to a t lawn that ive walked on a thousand times to me is absurd. Laura law beyond a lawn, i thinking the final weeks before final exams. Im not an old person, i do re still remember what it was like to get ready for finals and especially a thes seniors, a se wants to finish their experience on campus and have a good time, s study hard. That is all gone. They are depriving other students of their own hardfought Academic Agains and celebrations. Yeah. And actually i think this whole en encampment really started the night we hadad a party on the lawn. Everyone was having a great time, like the last party before finals season set in. It was considered unauthorized and everyone disbursed. If this protest is unauthorizede why is this not being dismantlei the, as well . Y a lot of lut is wh kids are heading south. Wh big article today. Thank you for informing us. Joining me is newt gingrich, former political analyst. Everything were seeing now reminds me a little bit of the rampup to 2020, 23409 talking about the Death Of African N American at the hands of a cop, but tensions are running high. Are you concerned this could m m morph into something bigger an more dangerous . F th i am reminded of Governo Reagan dealing with people at b berkeley, call ing out the national guard. The University President s are coward. The idea columbia president af cant guarantee safety. The rabbi ordered jewish students hom e because he felt it was dangerous. Go down the list. Clear steps can be taken. People that violent rules can be expelled. People who are there that are noo t u. S. Citizens, can be deported. Do not run o a risk of gradual rise of nazilike, antijewish movement and that is what it is largely driven by antisemitism and across the country it is Jewish Americans who are being faced with a level of discrimination as one said to me yesterday, his grandparents came here seeking a country where they wouldnt face a program in russia, wouldnt face the holocaust in germany and watching the star sign once again. We hav note to be tough and dir we will not tolerate this kind antisemitism. Laura yeah, makes me more excited to go to a sader tonight to be in solidarity with our jewish brothers and sisters. Newt, solidarity zones they are calling them are basically just encampments that end up wrecking the experience at colleges and universities for kids that want to learn. Those kids are having entire experience for now, it will be weeks by the end of this, just o destroyed and they dont care. U if you go back and look at reagan and how he handled b berkeley and he had to, because people were so angry. First experience of student militancy. None of these encampments are legal or authorized and involve trespassing and should be closet down tonight. People should be arrested. Lama look at this. This is not camp indicated it is not hard. People are breaking the law and risking threat to jewish fellow students. Laura newt, it does not seem to get traction, lets say it again. Why is congress continuing to fund these universities that allow this, like theft, harassment, theft from one Student Group to another Student Group
