Andrew C. McCarthy on pardons, lawfare, and the tasks ahead of soon-to-be United States AG Pam Bondi

[@putnam-county-crime-analysis]

Capitol Officers committed felony perjury. They must be charged.

[@LDR1100RS]

Didn't Biden pardon them?

[@MichaelJ-xi2yk]

They all got pardons, all the capital officers

[@smacksmack5976]

@MichaelJ-xi2ykincluding the guy who shot Ashley Babbitt

[@justintillett]

What about the unlawful, unjustified killing of Ashli Babbitt?

[@terryhemingway6983]

As long as there are no consequences for lawfare when it is done by Democrats, it will continue to be done by future Democrats. We need a thorough investigation of the Biden Administration regarding lawfare and the Presidential pardon power. We can never allow anyone in the future to run for President to provide a get out of jail free card to his friends and family for bribery and perhaps treasonous acts. That would provide the incentive needed for a candidate to totally corrupt the electoral process.

[@CDKLRK]

Real simple; why were all the Jan 6 docs destroyed? The whole thing smells!

[@leebotx]

The process was corrupt and unjust…..exculpatory evidence withheld and rights violated. The pardons and commutations are just.

[@johnsopensky1586]

Pretty naieve to think 3 letter agencies were not present and stirring things.

[@edwinjones-z5x]

Hugh the courts violated these defendants civil rights and due process and treating them in an unconstitutional manner before they ever got a day in court. Their rights were violated and were punished and some have yet to get their day in court guilty or not.

[@cyrilhudak4568]

They suffered enough, let it go.

[@edwinjones-z5x]

@@cyrilhudak4568 Who has suffered enough ? If you are talking about the j6 political prisoners then I agree as my comments reflect .

[@cyrilhudak4568]

@@edwinjones-z5x I agree with you wholeheartedly.

[@lydiabussell5455]

Happy President has good insight! He did what he thought was right, and I’m happy with his actions. People have served their time!!!

[@enoch9598]

McCarthy with all due respect. Just the meantion of Bill Barr is abhorrent. for AG Pam to work with. keep him far away from the trump administration

[@erick.6330]

As far as the ones who actually assaulted police officers go, how long do you go to jail for assaulting a cop? Because these people have been in jail for nearly 4 years.

[@musa7606]

And some of the "attacks" were greatly exaggerated.

[@johnbarnes5237]

McCarthy is a decent “post-game” analyst, but he sucks wind when it comes to pre-game.

[@Walking_bear09]

Ok ..condemn the riot. But investigate more deeply the role of the feds and the Dems in orchestrating it.

[@mikeflair6800]

Accountability must happen. It is not revenge. To just let it go, then we acknowledge 2 tiers of justice. Only with accountability does one tier of justice occur. I disagree with Andy McCarthy, the 'just move on' type of people. That leaves the status quo. Bill Barr would just bring it back to the past, we are in the future now.

[@andrewsilverstein6186]

How can a president who isn't mentally competent pardon anyone?

[@madonnakettler5952]

Found guilty of treason, but too feeble to stand trial for it and remain President

[@annerose1925]

Good question.

[@musa7606]

Because no one invoked the 25th or impeached and removed him. So the pardons stand.

[@tldacosta485]

After the year of Floyd why did the Speaker and Mayor refuse the Guards? Can we say there would have been no riots had the Capitol been secured.

[@jefferytokarsky1930]

Yes … and that’s why it wasn’t secured … and probably federally instigated. It was a Fedsurrection like Whitmer’s kidnapping was a Fednapping. The goal was to quash planned protest of elector slates of states like PA and GA. It worked. The RNC and DNC bombs were the backup plan.

[@elladopiriak9351]

They refused the national guard because it was a planned setup.....several people were concerned about that possibility and chose not go the capital building....🤨

[@anng.4542]

A "riot", or just a large number of people being in restricted areas?

[@OldOhioGranny]

A faux restricted area. Oddly enough, none of that was restricted when Code Pink was allowed to invade the Capitol or BLM or even the PLO aka pro Gaza. But let a Trump supporter with a permit be goaded into fighting back and suddenly it's a riot

[@dennisshaper4744]

There were very few rioters...and I believe they were instigated by the FBI.

[@ruthduke6790]

That's just like those who burned down cities and received no punishment and there were poeple who lost their businessesand if not mistaken there was people killed

[@annfraley-mylife]

Even if those controversial cases deserved to go to prison, it’s been long enough.

[@davesimpson2586]

You can't make the comment that police officers were assalted by rioters unless you have a real trial where those charged can have representation to defend them. . No defense was allowed in that cangeroo court. Many of them were trying to help others

[@aemerson1970]

The DOJ is at fault for the overcharging and other shady behavior

[@davidschenk4097]

Four years is enough punishment for anything that happened on J6. Enough already.

[@dondevine7272]

Just loved this discussion between two legal giants. Just so informative. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Hewitt have layers and layers of knowledge and analysis.

[@MichaelJ-xi2yk]

Justice must be done. BARR are you kidding.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@silvereagle741]

Great show Mr. Hewitt. I enjoy your content. Best wishes, sir.

[@laurenglass4514]

Ron DeSantis said the students would be thrown out of the school.

[@thecitytroll]

Andrew C. McCarthy has been, and still is a Never Trumper. He's smart, he's conservative, but he and his magazine have consistently portrayed Trump and MAGA from a bile infused slant.

[@michaelbabbitt3837]

Julie Kelly went to every trial. Listen to her and what she witnessed.

[@a.lauber-942]

But r these people weregiven tooooo long of sentences PERIOD

[@jasonanernathy5721]

I gotta say four years is plenty of time for getting caught up in a riot .period

[@brendamullen9367]

So your saying just ignore treasonous acts and if we do it will continue. We need to show the world that we can't be bribed.

[@recusa6519]

Agree that President Trump was smart to put the J6 thing behind him. Litigating “pardon” vs “commute” vs do nothing would have created a media/Dem J6 circus.

[@lindaokeefe4526]

I think McCarthy’s J6 analysis is spot on. All this drama is just political. Sure a case by case review would have been more appropriate but too time-consuming.

[@markkittinger6334]

Stop apologizing for Jan 6. A riot happened, people (political prisoners) have been in jail for three years. They've served their time in the DC gulag and it's time to let them out. Can't understand why this is controversial.

[@danielroehm2822]

Pam Bondi is handling the Jan 6 people on a case by case basis

[@johnoliver4947]

Whe I saw McCarthy on your show, I just pass.

[@michaell.maloney4026]

O.H. !!!!

[@mikenero6704]

I disagree, Barr is not a valid resource NOW!

[@joegilmartin4187]

The “seditious conspirators” Yea, sure. Are we really supposed to ignore the Uniparty’s transparent need for and incitement of the Fedsurrection. Grow a pair.

[@waltj7488]

So Andrew's desire to end lawfare seems to end prosecution if anyone is politically connected. So the ruling class is above the law i. Andrew McCarthy's world. There must be accountability.

[@cyclops6454]

😅 the judges that are obstructing the prisoners from being released maybe they need to go to prison their self

[@musa7606]

There are a few with additional non-J6 charges... Or so I have been told.

[@sherrick13]

It wasn't sedition. In fact, it was the exact opposite. Hugh needs to wake up.

[@miguelalvares3947]

People were helped by the law officers who were there. Is not that something to be considered?

[@lokenipapu902]

Bill Barr?🙄🙄

[@Quimby-i7l]

Police brutality was ignored on J6. They commited murder and got away with it.

[@robertdlucas7418]

These are two BS.

[@danstewart2770]

"January 6th" was a mostly peaceful protest. • The violence and lawlessness that did occur was instigated by agent provocateurs from within the federal government and intelligence community. • As difficult as it may be to believe, that is precisely the reality of January 6th.

[@steve28849]

PROSECUTE PERIOD

[@royferguson2297]

Trump said there were six cases they are looking at were the pardons might be changed.

[@jeanlarocque6586]

Two wrongs don’t make a right, but it makes you even! I do believe if Biden hadn’t pardoned his whole family 15 minutes before they left the White House, perhaps it would have been different circumstances?

[@michaelhewitt7755]

Trump promised to pardon the January 6 people and he delivered, move on.

[@byronking9573]

In re Biden Family pardons: Some things are worthy of federal investigation and prosecution; others are best left to history writers. That said, the Chinese espionage angle is critical in all of this. Did they really sell out?

[@robertdlucas7418]

Just hearing the statements of these about "Tik-Tok" tells one that these are two misinformed people.

[@danielhowell-tr2th]

22 years?????

[@MichaelHargrove-pg9wk]

Turn the page and delete the Biden name out of all conversations in two weeks. Good riddance.

[@apatterson8039]

If the only videos you’ve watched are the ones fed to you by mainstream news then your opinions are lacking integrity. I also never heard you mention “due process”.

[@marythomas8761]

The problem they went from tik tok to another chinese spl

[@stevejacover4874]

Hey Hugh - hypocrite or what? Law and order just got a wedgie. We should not have Kings.

[@musa7606]

"We should not have Kings" No, we have elected executives that answer to Congress and to the people. They have immunity that allows them to do their job and keep from from rogue prosecutors, but also pardon power to override rogue justice systems.

[@laurenglass4514]

They say the way the law was written made it where they could use that to shut down other speech if they got rid of tick tok

[@tunatony]

Trump is wrong on Tiktok

[@dbvanhorn]

Geez he looks old

[@briansayler2482]

Stop with the football talk already. Nobody cares.

[@terryfox9344]

I wish that I could listen to Hugh on the radio, but the new time slot makes it impossible. He is no longer in the 6 to 9 slot. Nor is he in the 9 to Noon slot. Nor is he in the Noon to 3 slot Nor is he in the 3 to 6 slot. Nor is he in the 6 PM to 9 PM. I think that I heard that he is in the 9 to Midnight slot, but that is past my bed time. Worse still, I used to get to listen to Hugh on KZbin. Now, not so much. About every other day a small snippet is uploaded before I retire for the evening. Hugh, did Salem put you in purgatory? If so, when do you get out?

[@RichardJones-ot5uc]

He is now on from 3 pm to 6 pm eastern time. Salem moved him to the afternoon after Gorka accepted a position with the Trump administration. KZbin is posting his entire program late on the same day.

[@robertdlucas7418]

Punish for what? For demonstrating against a genocide?

[@philcortens5214]

Hugh needs to change his glasses and a trim.
