Kudos to Jesse Watters for having the guts to challenge his own guest, Gregg Jarrett. Watters was discussing the latest on the Maxwell case with Jarrett. Jarrett’s narrative was that we should be cautious in believing the claims made by Virginia Giuffre. Fair enough. More evidence is needed to determine with certainty, the truthfulness of her allegations. But Jarrett went a little further, by suggesting the fact that she talked with the FBI for years about these allegations and yet the FBI never filed charges based on her allegations, makes her suspect. Are you kidding me Gregg? The FBI not prosecuting should be taken as evidence that no crime occurred? Do I even need to go into how absurd that statement is? As I mentioned, Jesse pushed back on that argument. I’ve never fully trusted Jarret, and this just gives me another reason not to.
What is Gregg Jarrett’s background? I did a quick search and this is what Wikipedia says.
Jarrett was born in Los Angeles and raised in nearby San Marino, California, graduating from San Marino High School in 1973.[1] He graduated magna cum laude from Claremont Men’s College in 1977 with a degree in political science. He graduated from law school at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, in 1980, and worked as a defense attorney for several years in San Francisco with the firm of Gordon & Rees LLP. As of February 3, 2015, his California State Bar license is listed as “inactive.”[2] Jarrett has taught law as an adjunct professor at New York Law School and lectured at other law schools.[3]
Jarrett joined Fox News in November 2002. Prior to joining Fox, Jarrett worked at MSNBC.[4] Jarrett also worked at Court TV, now known as TruTV, for eight years, serving as the anchor of Prime Time Justice. He hosted the network’s nationally syndicated half-hour magazine show, Inside America’s Courts, which was seen daily on broadcast stations (NBC in New York City and Los Angeles) and weekends on CNBC.
Prior to Court TV, Jarrett worked for a number of local stations. including KCSM-TV in San Francisco, California; WMDT-TV in Salisbury, Maryland; WKFT-TV in Raleigh, North Carolina and KSNW-TV in Wichita, Kansas. While at KSNW, he received a Heartland Emmy Award for the “Turnpike Tornado” news segment.[5]
Amen. Same here. Jarret when his latest book came out really pummeled Jeff Sessions. I’m still of the opinion that ole “MacGoo” could be the fox among the hounds, got many serious and effective investigations going before he left, and he and our VSG have been playing their parts magnificently
Agee. Jarrett strikes me as a male Ann Coulter, primary goal is to advance his name and book sales. Repeating conventional wisdom just makes people yawn, going out on the limb and saying controversial stuff makes (some of) them want to buy your book to learn more.
