0 the administrative state and i don't thinkve s it's going to sp here, will , i'm afraid that they might try to indict trump with a rigged grandbe jury befoe the midterms. i think it'll be watching that . i appreciate you jumping on here at the end of the show.. i appreciate you watching me tonight. filling in for tucker carlson. going away. not obviously you'll have excellent coverage starting right now with sean hannity, keith olbermann and welcome to hannity. and tonight we start with a foxw newsit alert. eric trump will joinin us in a moment live. tas he was with his dad all day today. he'll give us an inside scoop first. a dark day for our republic, the department of justice, the rule of law, what looks to be potentially a shocking overreach. we'll find out innl time thaton will have serious ramifications potentiallys for many, many years to come. biden's politically charged have already chronicled all this. doj is now being i used as a weapon against biden's top political rival. that's the former president of l the united states of america, donald trump. earlier today, the fbibi raided the former president's t florida home, mar a lago, while he was in new york . according to president trump. the agents swarmeded his residence unannounced, breakingr into the home and even his personal safe. in a statement, the 40%ea president wrote , quote, my beautiful home is currently under siege, raidedut and occupied by a large group of fbi agents. he continued, nothing like this has ever happened to the president of the united states before after working and cooperating with the relevant government agencieswit this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary orat appropriate. it is prosecutorial misconduct. the weaponizationrial of the justice system and an attack by the radical left democrats who desperately do not want me to run for president in 2020 four, according to the new york times tonight who got the scoop first ? somehow the search was focused on documents d that the former president brought with him from the white house, includingpo potentially classified documents. sources are now telling foxtedo is that the raid was notot related in any way tot january six . but according to one source,bo the fbi was, quote, not being judicious about what they took during the search. just so we are clear , this raid is truly, completelys unprecedented and it can't imagine this would have ever happened to a democrat. this is where americans now beginns n. ask the question, do we have a dual justice system in america? is there equal justice under the law? do we have equal applications of our laws? remember, hillary clinton's house was never raided evenn she stored troves of classified material on a personalss server. she deleted thirty three thousand emails. remember, nobodyil ever heard of bleach bit before hillary clinton. and then there were hammersherd involved with with devices and sim cards that were missing. how about the dirty, unverifiable russian dossier that hillary clinton paid for being used to lie to a fisa l court to spy then presidential candidate later or president? what aboutut the highla rankingj officials that signed what was says at the top of the fisa warrant verified whatt they signed their name to,if something that was unverifiable and has now been completely debunked and claimed before judges that it was verified. . wasn'tt and then there is joe biden on tape, the real quid pro quoo braggingqu that he withheld the billion taxpayer dollars. you have six hoursta to fire ukrainian prosecutor who he turns out was investigating his son hunter, who is being paid millionsng of dollars with no experience at all whatsoever. on her lies on a gunr? application. what happened to hunter? nothing. what iff it was don jr.? what if it was eric trump on tape? you have, of course, hunter biden smoking crack and with. th i thinkos those things are illegal. what happened to him? nothing. weim had director wray before congress last week.y they have had hunter's laptop longer than anybody. what have they done with it? nothing. millions of dollars paid to hunter from ukraine. russia, a one pointli five billionon deal with the bak of china. one hundred thousand dollar shopping spree with a with a e chinese national. no experience, nothing happens. joe on tape bragging again a and again. i've nevergand, ever, ever discussed my son's foreign business dealings. well, we knoww of at least 14 occasions now and we have pictures in some cases with joe hunter. and guess what? hunter's farm business partnersn ,nothing happens to them. the bidens have never had their homes raided. they literally sold access tolys the highest levels of our government. the big guy was taking his 10% cut according to his own son's laptop. and yet president biden has never faced legal scrutiny. le it's not even clear that his son hunter, who has literallys recorded his crimes i in great w detail, will ever get charged with any crimeit. no right to his house.st but if your last name is roger stone or iff your name is pault manafort, you've got a predawn raid guns drawn fbi swat team pointing guns in your face. a process crime and cnn cameras to boot. they just happen to be there at five thirty a.m. to film at all. if you're peter navarro, youer get put in handcuffssh and leg shackles and hauled away from an airport for a charge of s a misdemeanor. we sawaw the same heavy handed tactics with general flynn, carter page, paul manafort, raid, guns drawn and so many others. make no mistake, if you're associated with donald trump in any way, you better cross all your eyes and got all your t's because they're coming foror you with the full force of the federal government, they will break down your frontr door. p they will spyho on your text and your phone calls. with everynsrge you processed crime in the book. they'll throw you in leg chainsf and handcuffs and they'll stick guns in your face at five thirty in the morning just to sendnd a message.en why t does this ever happen toeq a democrat equalua justice under the law is a dead equal application of our laws. en is thatt dead?ed has i our department of justice been turned into a political weapon p? they can do this toha president trump, what do you think they can do to the restg of us ? we'll have full o breaking coverage all night long. herere now with more fox news legal analyst greg jarret. harvard law professor alan dershowitz pro is with us w great.if we'll start with you. if you look at the presidential records act, which is whatll we're told this is all about.er i mean,e' i assume there'sla a chance that maybe classified documents were takenwe. t mar a lago, i understood from reports that there was a a process they were know they were going through. they said they were willing to give all those things back . but why didn't they just say, can we come over and take a look at what you haveer and make suree' that there's nol classified documents here? just like why didn't t they sayo 8:00eter navarrope, his attorne, have your client report at 8:00 a.m. at this location a, paul manafort or roger stone? why the big show? >> only when it's a conservative. because it's donald trump and this is the weaponization for political purposes by the fbi and the department of justice. you're right. sean. re whensi you identify the presidential records act of nineteen sixty eight seventy eight , which is far fromar a model of clarityit and in fact it's one of the more opaque laws you'll ever read one of the problems with it is that iti gives discretion and authoritybe to the incumbent president tont decide what constitutes presidential papers. he may identify, excludeos and dispose of presidential papers. and you point out the classified nature allegedly of some ofre the documents identified by the national archives that are nototl compett agency to recognize classified documents because the president is the ultimate authority in declassifying documents. he may doum so with a wave of hs hand without notification to the national archives. so i think what you're reallyan seeing here is an abuse of power by the fbi and absolutely both merrick garland,rn the attorney general and the fbieydi director , christopher, they would have so they would have to have signed>> off on ths . you would agree with that, correct? oh, absolutely. they i mean, look, no agent or t official at the fbi is going to undertake a raid of this magnitude on the formerth president of the united states without going to the individuals at the very top . that's garland and ray. all right.. let'sch talk about two other cases, professor dershowitz, and then i'll get your overall view on this particular raid that that went on earlier today. james comey was accused pretty much of something very similar, if you'll recall, if you remember the case of sandy berger, sandy berger went intowe the national archives, he literally shoved documents down into his on his in his backside into his socks and walked out with those documents. but then everybody inn the media, every democratedia, e was just sloppy, very sloppy as he shoved it down his pants, his sloppy. he didn't mean to take them with them and everybody bought that excuse. so thiss they're in brings up the double standard issue. >> what are your thoughts? well, definitely there is aef doublein standard. we've seen so many instances ofn allegedlyy classified material being a . the key point that everybody's missing here is that donaldha trump was not in marat lago. is so there was no reason not to issue a subpoena return bowl tomorrow so that there's no soclaim that trump could have destroyed anything. been aould have been subpoena, not a search warrant. if it a subpoena, not a searcht, warrant. if itt is a search warrant, it has to have a high level of cause demonstrating that the evidencece would have been destroyed. not only that, but under the law, if yo seize a safe, you don't go into the safe. you have to get a special warrant to get into the safe and you have to prove that the material in the locked safe would have been destroyed. so it seems to me that they have violated the rules of the justice department. they have gone after bothfo a former president and a futured candidate and they darn well better have a smoking gun proof, which i don't seend happening. and clearly there's been a doublecl standard here.ta butnd even if it was a single standard, it's not good. ar you know, you don't get a warrant unless a subpoena won't suffice in a democratic rule of law, country. you do it legitimately. you go toay the lawyer, you say by tomorrow, i want that safe delivered to the justice department. i want these documents turned over. and unless you can demonstrate that there was y t a very substantial chance they would have been maliciously destroyed, which wouldldlici hao been a serious, serious crime,ut i mean, that would be a serious crime. reen that's nixon. and there's no evidence that that happened here. it isn't. but you know how i guess what everybody's wondering, especially in light of what we went throughwent for three year greg, at some point, when do, you say the abuse of power, the corruption, the witch hunt, to quote a famous best selling book that this is focused on one man and one man only and a whole double standard existse and nobody else is ever held accountable for either the exact law, similar sets of circumstances. i know it was different with comey, but similar with hillary. the thirty three thousand emails, a dirty dossier, the fisa theie applications. sandyh t berger, you run through the list and nothing ever happens if if if you're not a conservative or a republican or a trump supporter. let's just take one of those examples. hillary clinton, her home iner chappaqua was never raided even though she maintained a private server there upon which shede downloaded classified top secret documents, thereby jeopardizing national security and violating the espionage, not once or ten times, but roughly 100 hundred timese counting the number ofnu classified documents that she essentially stole and as i say,, jeopardized national securityna to hacks.ks and we,, in fact have pretty solid evidence that her serveran was hacked and foreign agencies retrieved american top secret of hercu because actions. would she ever prosecuted? no. james comeyte stood in front of television cameras and he identified all the crimes shepp committed and then did a pirouette in the course of five seconds and said but no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. thousands of reasonable prosecutors would have loved toe have brought that case. and besidesbesi, james comey ist the prosecuting authority he usurped the power ofto the attorney general. that's justrn one example of the double standard that existsi with donald trump. re all right., going to go ahead, professor. i don't think you use searchon warrants and prosecutions to go afters political enemies. i've just written a whole book on that called the price principle where i go intool the whole issue ofe why you don't use partisan considerations to go after e political enemies. that's what happens in banana republics. that's what happens in third world countries. that's not supposed to happen c in the united states . itit was right not to go after hillary clinton because she wass a candidate for president. you need a much higher standard, but you can't applyly one standard to hillary clinton and another standard to donald trump that, well, impermissiblet would not have w been a politicl pursuit against hillary clinton. cal because it occurred during the obama administrationsh and the attorney general there. she should have been prosecuted then. all right. i'm going to leave it right. all right. thank both. governor ronda santos has now tweeted out the raid on mara- a lago is yet anotherlala escalation in the weaponizes auction of federal agencies against the regime's political opponents. hewhile people like hunter biden get treated with kid gloves, now the regime is getting another eighty seven thousand irs agents to wield against its adversaries banana republic-- writes, we have gop leader. well, we'll get to that in a second. kevin mccarthy has just tweeted out attorney general garland, preserve your documents and clear your calendar. all right. joining us now live, he was with his father for most of the day, as i understand it today. eric trump is with us .as eric , you were with your dad as this was unfolding. as i was. in fact, i was the guy that got the call this morning and i called my father, let him know that it happened. soso i was involved in this all day. and , you know, welcome to politics in 2008, sean, my father never got so much as a speeding ticket in his life, you know, until he made one decisionat that's toa- go down the escalator. tomala, go and spend a lot of money and go and actually fight for this country for d the first time. and he didan a better jobyb thae anybody has ever done and they started coming after him. "the washington post", the day he won 2016, the day he won november eight . that night they wrote an article. this is when impeachment begins. he wasn't w president. ad he hadn't been elected for for five minutes at that point. heand they start this is whenim impeachment begins and then he's impeached the first time and then he was impeachedeas iit a second time and they slander and belittled him. you know, went after him. they went after all of us .y there's no family in american history that has taken more arrows in the back than t the trump family. time.single and you know what? it'sas gone on past politics. you look at the attorney generals, you t look at district attorneys all over the country. do is theynt to want to get donald trump. they raise moneyai on it. they send fundraising emails about it.th s they brag on camera about it. they go after him,hi they subpoena him. i'm probably the most subpoenaed person in the history of the united states . day we get another subpoena and they do it forbe one reason because they don't want donald trump to run and win again in 2020 four. and sean, that's what this is about today, to have thirty fbi agents faucit more than that descend on marar a lago give absolutely-a no n notice, go through the gate, o start ransacks in office ransacking a closet. you know they broke into a safe . he didn't even have anything in the safe. i mean, give me a breaka and this coming from whatrc the national archives yet hunter biden, he's firearms, crimes, ,illegal drugs. you know, shady deals with everybody around the world. and by the way, t it's all on hs laptop for the whole world town see in his own writing, in hiswn own words, corroborated by everybody where these fbi agents, where where is everybody? why is it the arabs only fly donald trump and his family? why is this a politicalio persecutionn only goes one way in this country? let's talk a little bit about what you were being told. what was f the purpose for this raid? sean? the purpose of the raid fromid what they said was because f the national archives wanted to corroborate whether or not, donald trump had any documents in his possession. and my fatherssr worked so collaboratively with them for a month. ac fact, the lawyer that's working on this wasas totally shocked because i had such an amazing relationship with these peoplelala and all of a sudden i no notice they sent twenty cars and 30 agents. sean, i meange, this is just more political persecution of donald trump. they keep j. let me let me go sailing in every single place because i'm assuming. al all right, so your father a is packing. he's leaving the white housend. i don't know. i'm guessing that your dadba probably didn't pack a single box. i'm just guessing you wouldr know better thanth i you can tel me if he did or if he didn't. all these boxes, all this all your personal items get brought down to mara lago. there's a question about whether there might be classified information that had been written about a long a time ago. let's walk through the process . so mar a lago, the people that work for your dad were working w with the national archives toor go through the material to make sure if there was anythingak mistakenly takenen that it was going to be returned and you were working, collaborating, collaborating early on that is that correct? so when the president moves toel the white house, you effectively, you know, . athours to move outy the white house is effectively inauguration time where one president gets moved up w and one president gets movedho in. right. that's how the whole system works is asysterk y better than anybody. my father always kept clippings ,pressne clippings. he would have, you know, newspaper articles, pictures, le notes from us . when my mom passed away a couple of weeks ago, he still had all the notes, you know, over the years had been saved all the notes that she had ever written him. i mean, it'sav a beautiful thin. my father saveses clippings and things that he had.ed he had boxes. a all right, when he moved out of the white house. he's very clever.g, - if you want to search for anything, if you think anything know, come right ahead. i mean, it was it was an open. door policy and all of a suddenr thirty agents descend upon mar-a shawn. this didn't come from the local fbi field office. and in palmn beach, florida, yoa know who this came from?ce this came from one place and one building and thatng is the white house in washington, d.c. they want tot attack a guy who they view is his greatest threat is biden's greatest threat. xa and that's exactly what donald trump is because you know what? he had annat incredibly strongan country. people realize he was an effective president. and you see bidenve right now,ed i mean, btaiwan is getting circled by military planesht literally as we sit here and speak right now, you've got, you know, russia, ukraine, d
