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

Posted on 07/27/2022 2:53:11 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

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

How obvious must Trump’s innocence be if this dolt can see it?

That’s not a bad idea. I have heard though that defamation is hard to get if you’re famous. That’s probably how they would toss that.

Our side doesn’t get a whole lot of justice out of the justice system.

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?).

The Dems don't want to disqualify Trump. They want him to run.

In their minds, he's beatable, and beatable by Biden. They'd rather not replace Biden if they don't have to because it'll lead to a messy primary fight against an incumbent president where history has not looked favorably on such endeavors.

So they're thinking, "Let Trump run and Biden will beat him a second time."

Of course, Hillary also wanted Trump to be the nominee in 2016 so there's that.

All Behar does is project her faults and sins onto Trump. Does anyone know why Demonicrats keep projecting? What does that psychologically represent?

No, I'm not.

The Democratic leadership doesn't view Trump as a threat.

I'm not saying that I agree with them. I'm saying, they think a rerun of 2020 will again end in their favor.

Yea and if Trump or conservatives had an opportunity to cross examine and bring contradicting evidence, the whole J6 crooked crew would be laughed out of town.

Since we already heard the full conversation with the snake GA SOS several weeks after the bogus claim was made by the snake, we know there’s nothing there. These commies are just hoping enough of their morons have short memories so they can be stirred up by this.

Sure they don't.

That's why they had this sham of a J6 show trial, right?

Not Delusional my Ass!

That's exactly why they're having this sham show trial.

And exactly why, at the end, Merrick Garland won't take any action that would keep Trump off the ballots.

In their minds, they think they're showing Trump's "crimes" to the American public (i.e. swing voters) but they won't dare allow anything to happen that might keep him out of the election.

They want Trump damaged but not so damaged that he can't run for president because that would open up a whole different campaign environment.

Even if you’re a public figure, the issue is still the truth of the publication coupled with malice. May be a way to flush this fraud out. Worth a shot I think.

I think flushing out the 2020 election fraud might be the real reason for the defamation lawsuits regardless of winning the suit itself.

“I have heard though that defamation is hard to get if you’re famous”

A defamation attorney was talking to Charlie today and mentioned that. Then Charlie reminded him that the kids aren’t famous and they were the targets.

Their attendance there could be harmful to their futures when background checks are conducted. If the last word is that they were consorting with Nazis, they could be screwed. It HAS to be cleared up once and for all to protect the kids.

If it takes a lawsuit to get out the truth, so be it.

“What does that psychologically represent?’’

It represents a state of permanent and stunted adolescence which is, in effect, what liberalism is.

“They want Trump damaged but not so damaged that he can’t run for president because that would open up a whole different campaign environment.”

Your guy DeSantis will have to enter the 2024 Republican Primary and pull off a miracle.

It might happen but most likely DeSantis loses.

Oh well, I’m pumped up about the Trump vs DeSantis matchup.

Here is how an anti Trump scumbag sees things:

DeSantis has taken everything from Trump but his trophy wife…. DeSantis is taking Donald’s political money, dominating Trump in the headlines, and getting rave reviews from Fox and the conservative media. Trump is impotent, weak, and lost on how to fight back against a younger, thinner, and flashier version of himself.

They don’t need evidence to persecute Trump.
