Supporters say the Incoming Biden Administration would face a conflict of interest in the hunter biden case. Triggering the need for a special counsel. Former acting attorney general Matt Whitaker on that. There are regulations to appoint a special counsel and its only in certain circumstances where the regular process cant handle an investigation. Certainly an investigation into a president s child could meet those standards. What a special counsel is enabled, protections from being fired without cause. The hunter biden case it could protect that u. S. Attorney and members of his team from being fired without cause. Harris high noon on the east coast. Your watching outnumbered. I am harris faulkner. Here today, kennedy, katie pavlich, tomi lahren, and joining us today, host of making money on fox business, charles payne. Look at you and your sunshine. And your tie. Good to see you. Lets get started with william barr on his way out, talking special counsel, all of it. Charles Payne Charles id love to see a special counsel. My enthusiasm for what they may achieve has gone down a lot. We are a long way from watergate nixon. But i think the bigger story, not necessarily the bigger story about something they cant go unnoticed is how come this took so long. Why couldnt all of these things have been revealed. Going back to even 2009 with the tax news. Now everybodys reporting, the Mainstream Media always had breaking news within the trump campaign. It was anonymous speculation, anonymous story making. Why couldnt they know about this . To me even if youre not political, anyone whos apolitical, look at this and smell a rat. The fix was always in and youve got to have very little confidence that relevant be any sort of notion of justice no matter what happens in the future. Harris special counsel. What do you think . Charles . Charles yeah i think we should have one and i would love to see it come to fruition and i would like to see actual action. The thing is we are waiting for so many special counsel to come up with the conclusion that we know is there. It would be better than nothing but nothing can make up for the fact that this was covered up between washington, d. C. , and the Mainstream Media and that something we need to find a way to find justice for as well. Harris tomi lahren. Tomi i agree with charles wholeheartedly. So many Trump Supporters out there that are enraged about this because they wish the country wouldve known what bill barr knew and what many knew ahead of time and that mightve changed a lot of votes. The American People should be frustrated by this and most frustrated with the media for ignoring it when they did have nudges and winks that something was going on but of course they ignored it. Also talking about a special counsel i know that theres Many Americans out there that have fatigue from the mueller investigation. We dont want to spend four years wasting taxpayer dollars on another investigation we could have dealt with it before the election. I think so many people are just so frustrated and its a dereliction of duty by the media and we are wondering who knew what and when they knew it and why was this covered up and we deserve an answer on that specifically. Harris Kayleigh Mcenany was on with me yesterday on over time. I asked her whether or not there was a divide between the president of the United States in the u. S. Attorney general. She took a beat and said well, theres frustration. That was just a few hours before we would learn that barr is exiting. Where do you think the pressure points were in leading up to what happened yesterday, from what youve been reading and what you been covering . Katie well, harris, attorney general bill barr when he took the job come one of his main goals with the department of justice was to move it away from political persecution of political opponents and back to the rule of law. Thats a difficult thing to do when you have a president who rightfully is very frustrated with the way he was treated, special counsel investigation launched against him. Spying on his campaign, the abusive fisa and wanting equal treatment. The attorney general has tried to get the department of justice back to a place where they are not looking at things based on what party are in but rather with the facts of each case are. On the issue of people accusing attorney general bill barr of somehow covering up the hunter biden investigation, it was a covert investigation. The reason for that is because when youre investigating somebody or prosecuting them, you dont want them to know what cards you have and what theyre looking for so that they can hide evidence. They can intimidate witnesses. More attorneys drag out the process. Then it turned into a covert investigation which is why we now know about it. If youre trying to really go after someone because they broke the law, informing them too early that they are being investigated doesnt help prosecutors with their case. In terms of the relationship between President Trump and bill barr, bill barr said in his Resignation Letter that its very clear that there was a huge abuse of power when it came to with the doj did under the obama administration, spying on his campaign, tried to get the president justice on that. There is a conflict in general between what you can do legally and using the justice for political purposes and getting the legal system back to what it supposed to be which is not to be used as a political weapon against your opponent. Still when i want to get to this, and wall street journal editorial titled a special counsel christmas for hunter biden. It argues that a social consul is a bad idea. Unless the bidens truly have something to hide and hunter insists an objective review will find he handled his affairs legally and appropriately, keeping the existing u. S. Attorney on would guarantee the objective review. Kennedy. Kennedy i actually dont have a problem with u. S. Attorney and dello are continuing this investigation. Thats because two of Hunter BidensBusiness Partners have been pop for fraud. Considering what has come out about his dealings in china, the amount of money thats been wired from moscow. The relationship hes had, they amount to Money Laundering under the best of circumstances. What this case is allowed to continue with the federal crime charlie and the u. S. Attorney in delaware, i think you will see something that looks like justice and the worry is and i think tomi is right, people have fatigue about the amount of time and money that could be poured into special counsel with very little result at the end. If your going to instill faith in our justice department, may be let this play out. Harris tomi, your name was mentioned so im going to come back to you. Whats at stake for an Incoming Administration to have this going on in the days and weeks before Inauguration Day . Tomi we know that if you have a d beside your name you really dont have to worry about much i think thats where a lot of this frustration is coming in. For four years the democrats told us we had to investigate everything from Election Integrity to phone calls. It over and over again with fatigue, money wasted. There was still trying to impeach the president when coronavirus came to our country and they were still obsessed with that. Being joe biden and having the media coddle you, as weve seen, hes not in the white house yet held the media is cancelin codd. I dont think hes going to suffer much from this. So Many Americans are upset. Do we want to waste time and money on a special counsel and deal with that whole mess. Not really. Is a lot of other issues we want to deal with. But we want justice. Once again the American People are the real losers here. Harris well move on with the live look and its just a few blocks away from the headquarters of fox news. Times square.

Of fox news review of sec records found Top Executive sites like facebook and twitter donated tens of thousands of dollars of the Biden Campaign, including some who gave the legal maximum of 2800. Fox news could not find a single executive level employee from facebook or twitter who donated to the trump campaign. Big tech facing criticism from limiting users from sharing New York Post reporting on hunter biden to the weeks before the election. Charles payne, they always claim that they are neutral. They dont have political bias. But numbers dont lie. The numbers dont lie. We always say wherever the money goes, thats your trail. We saw this in the heavy handedness on social media with respect to President Trump. As we headed into the election. Although different tweets, everything that was censored. Heres the thing, they tried to distance themselves from their actions and hide five things like algorithms. They program the algorithms. Taking it upon themselves to be the purveyors, the arbiters of truth. But they dont want to be regulated as such. Times for these folks to have it both ways has come to an end. Its fine if you want to have your political leanings. Its fine if you want to join the washington post, New York Times and actively daily engaging against the republicans. President trump more specifically. Msnbc, the Mainstream Media. There should be some guardrails for the enduser. There should be a sense of a knowledge meant. If this is that we are going to play the game and we know its being played this way, at least give the general public a chance to understand it better and to be able to adjust. Katie kennedy, it comes down to saying that youre for one thing and then doing another. The Biden Campaign and democrats in general rail against big corporations. It doesnt get much bigger than big tech, you have these donations going one way. Kennedy absolutely. Theyre looking for access so they can rewrite laws to protect them but its funny because Many Democrats are as eager to break up big tech is republicans are to stop shielding them from liability. I dont have a problem with employees donating wherever they want for any political cause. And im not surprised in the slightest that a bunch of money from northern california, especially silicon valley, is going to establishment democra democrats. But i do think at some point there has to be more competiti competition. Thats ultimately what will always save us because if you got the same companies in bed with big government, establishment politicians, then the cronyism is going to stifle the entire system. Katie tomi, what about that. Theres been conservatives whove tried to create their own social media platforms. Parlor with dan bongino. Can they fight it through the free market rather than government regulation . Tomi fatso Republican School of thought and conservative school of thought is that ownership is the best way to combat that. Theres not a lot of action they could not gain traction. I think were very well aware that wasnt going to happen. I think they need to be transparent about their bias. I think its time to break up big tech. Im disgusted and the republicans that had two years where they have the house and senate and the presidency they did nothing about it. We put ourselves in a bad spot. Will it happen under a Biden Administration highly doubted. Katie harris, the connection is people who were donating big money to big tech were allowing it to seep into their work. You covered a number of hearings on capitol hill, the most recent one was the ceo from twitter saying they had no actual information to show the hunter biden story was false and here we are with them claiming that theres no connection to her political motives when they decide what to censor. Harris its one of the reasons why i dont think why hearings are the best way to figure out with the facts are. Its got to be a oneonone. The questions have to come. Asking about algorithms. People designing the algorithms and keeping on watch what they were spinning out and at Times Holding back conservative views on certain platforms. Were they some of the same people who donated . Why did it matter . If you have ten people and they are in charge, and nine or ten have certain political bent, i think you have to be transparent. Section 230 certainly does not consider it deserving to be protected if, in fact, youre going to break the rules of the laws of free speech in the process. Theyve got to give something up. You can eat you have your cake d eat it too. Tomi is right, republicans had two years to get it done in the majority. Was it not important then . Katie yeah. We hear a lot about diversity in these companies, seems like they need some diversity of thought, thats for sure.
