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?”

She added, “He could say, you know, maybe they were missing. I wanted to make sure they counted correctly. There’s

Whoopi Goldberg is the same idiot who supported “Doctor” Jill Biden for Surgeon General.

No smoking gun doesn’t mean the DEMs (along with some RINOs) won’t find something to charge Trump on. Maybe disqualify him from ever being able to run for POTUS again (no constitutional backing for this, but when has that mattered to the DEMs?).

They know if they charge him and fail to convict, it may put him back in the White House. They have to fix every step, including the jury, before they risk it.

We don’t need no smoking gun, or any evidence, he’s guilty, guilty, guilty because it makes us feel good...

The Atlanta grand jury is a real threat. As the saying goes a DA can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Of course a jury trial is another matter, but when the goal is to make headlines then a grand jury indictment is a slam dunk.

Well, I don’t like her but I hope not.

It is rather humorous thinking of causes though.

Whoopi is definitely a mental midget but that won’t prevent Turning Point USA from suing the View for defamation.

This has been 4 years of failed ‘show me the man and I’ll find you a crime’. The most insane abuse of power.

Whoopie’s attempt at an apology may have been even worse.

Something you wishing for so DeSantis can run in 2024?

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

Sunny Hostin is no mere co-host, she’s also a “legal expert” for that network. Lol.

The only smoke I’ve seen so far is the smoke they’re trying to blow up everybody’s butt.

I’m sorry she said that since she’s invariably wrong about everything

I didn’t hear any apology from Whoopi just an accusation.

A rare moment of sanity from Behar. She’s right, where’s the beef?
