Full title: White House chief of staff John Kelly on special counsel indictments: 'Let the legal justice system work'

In a wide-ranging interview on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” Monday night, hours after charges were announced against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, White House chief of staff John Kelly said the administration believes the law should run its course before jumping to conclusions.

“All of the activities, as I understand it, that [Paul Manafort and his aide Rick Gates] were indicted for were long before they ever met Donald Trump, or had any association with the campaign,” Kelly said. “I think the reaction of the administration is let the legal justice system work — everyone’s … presumed innocent and we’ll see where it goes.”

Asked if a special counsel is necessary regarding the recent revelations that the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee funded research that led to the controversial dossier of allegations about President Trump’s connections to Russia, Kelly said he believes U.S. citizens have a right to know what’s going on behind the scenes of their government.

John Kelly was a strong, intelligent, moving and reassuring presence on Laura's show tonight.

The rest of her show was rather mundane and tedious....and I decided to freep for a while.

I didn’t see it but am not surprised, Kelly is a straight shooter and an honorable man.

Only if it is a fair investigation. I do have my doubts.

The Nunes interview was pretty good.

I don’t have a subscription, but it looks like a good opinion article.

Its good to hear you and the others here saying that. Many FReepers should be ashamed for the nasty comments they’ve made about other Trump administration officials without a shred of proof to justify them.

The court case will be held in Washington DC. DC had the highest percentage of voters, 93, that voted for Hillary. Does Gen. Kelly naively think Manafort can get a fair trial?

Moreover, when is the legal system going to get the Clintons and the DNC for collusion with the Russians and high treason? That’s like having Federal court for Hillary and the DNC in Wyoming.

‘Let the legal justice system work’

The DOJ and courts are politicized and corrupt. How does that work out?

Disregard my comment above about the Wall Street Journal article. I managed to read it, and it looks like a really bad idea.

'Let the legal justice system work'

What a coward George Bush was for letting Scooter Libby be ruined by the system. There's a reason for presidential pardon and this is it - obviously this is a method to intimidate anyone else who would be loyal to Trump. Sessions is as worthless as they come - Trump is facing this level of scrutiny and Obama and Hillary went untouched.

Laura seemed a little nervous in her opening segment but that’s understandable. She’s got the first show wrapped and will relax and be fine. The Nunes interview was interesting. Kelly was good as well.
