Behar: Trump Will Not Be Prosecuted — ‘There’s No Smoking Gun’
Breitbart ^ | 27 Jul 2022 | PAM KEY

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that she has not seen a “smoking gun” during the January 6 hearings, so she believes former President Donald Trump will not be prosecuted.

Behar said, “I don’t know. I mean, you know, there was a report today in The Washington Post by, what is her name? Carol Leonnig she broke the story, and Lester Holt said it could cause a disruption in the country, and Merrick Garland said, that’s not my problem. My problem is to bring people to justice if they’re guilty. Okay, good. On the other hand, they say it’s a very high bar to prosecute a sitting president or a former president. It’s never been done before. It’s a very, very high bar. But if Merrick Garland is saying no one is above the law, then what does the high bar mean? The whole thing is very confusing, and it makes me insecure about whether this will actually happen for Trump. The high bar, yes, and he’s definitely out to prove he did something wrong, but, again, they say that we’ve never seen this before. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it.”

Co-host Sunny Hostin asked, “You don’t believe that he’ll be prosecuted?”

Behar said, “No, I don’t.”

Hostin said, “Even though I have been saying it for a couple of months, Joy?”

Behar said, “You know I have the highest esteem for you, my dear, and I believe you. But in my gut, I say to myself. He’s such a snake. He’ll find a way out of this.”

She continued, “When he says to the guy, Raffensperger, all I need is this many votes. That sounds bad, right?”

Poor woman fell and hit her head.

It’s the only reason I can think of.

The closest thing to a smoking gun is an empty water pistol that your buddies on the commission planted

Here’s a possible reason- Turning Point/Charlie Kirk sent the hags at the View a cease and desist letter for defamation of Turning Point.

President Trump released a statement informing CNN and other outlets he intends to sue them for defamation.

The powers that be in the law department could be telling them to cool their heels.

Neither should Trump be INVETIGATED if there is no proof of REASONABLE SUSPICION.

The lack of reasonable suspicion in EACH AND EVERY ONE of these frivolous investigations of Trump is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and akin to a Leftist dictatorship regime, NOT an American Constitutional Republic.

Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Liz Cheney, Nadler... all disagree, and so do most democrats running for congress and the senate.

The polls show deep losses coming for democrats in the congressional races, so, their desperation will cause them to argue for indictment of Trump. Nothing like a fake scandal to give democrats some hope.

Suing them for defamation would be a smart move by Trump.

The issue of the truthfulness of the alleged defamation would be central to the case.

The whole 2020 Election fraud could be argued in Court over this.

“Here’s a possible reason- Turning Point/Charlie Kirk sent the hags at the View a cease and desist letter for defamation of Turning Point.”

Yes. It seemed that The View hags were overflowing with back-peddling their insane statements which were lies. They’d say something (a lie), Turning Point’s attorneys immediately told them to rectify it. They walked it back. I think it happened three times within a short time.

Maybe that cooled their jets to some extent.

IOWs there is nothing.

Hard to believe that this drone Behar latched onto a cogent thought.
