Fox News host Tucker Carlson shreds the FBI's raid on former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'This is a rush transcript from"Tucker Carlson Tonight," August 15, 2022. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.Happy Monday.
You just imagine al-Qaeda taking selfies with these documents, one after the other relentlessly, repulsive and terrifying.At this point, no one has provided proof that it is true, not that august historians like Michael Beschloss wait around for actual evidence before pronouncing final judgment on cable news shows. They just go ahead.
One of these documents, the most ultra-secret of them, contained a recipe for disappearing ink. Now, why would Federal bureaucrats spend an entire century hiding an outdated recipe for ink that you can buy legally in any magic store for your fifth grader? Good question. No one asked it. Here's the truth. The documents have been classified for a hundred years, not because disappearing ink was any sort of national security secret. They'd been classified because the government's default position in every case is that you have no right to see anything ever. It is their information. It is not yours.To this day, there are large amounts of classified information remaining from World War II.
Federal paramilitaries don't show up at your house when you violate the Presidential Records Act and in fact, as we later learned, the actual warrant for the raid, which was signed by an openly partisan Judge, because you couldn't make any of this up if you tried, once represented Jeffrey Epstein's side in the famous underage sex case, that Judge.
So, whatever else this raid was, this raid was not about the Presidential Records Act. That explanation is absurd. It's almost as ridiculous as the claim that the White House knew nothing about the raid before it happened. Right. Please.So, what was this raid about? Well, we're keeping track. So, here's the second explanation they gave us.
Did he plan to defect to Moscow? Give the launch codes to Vladimir Putin? start his own rogue state in the Bahamas? Nobody said. There was endless huffing on television about something called the rule of law and how absolutely no one is above that. No one. Not even a former President. That's true, but it's hard to hear those words anyway. As an American, you don't want to believe it and yet here are the essential facts.
A week to the day after Joe Biden was inaugurated, the FBI arrested a 31- year-old man from Vermont called Douglass Mackey. According to the subsequent DOJ press release, Mackey committed an extremely serious crime. Like Vladimir Putin, he conspired to subvert the 2016 presidential election. "Far-right Twitter troll" is not a technical term. In fact, it is no agreed upon meaning of any kind. It is slang and slang is something that serious newspapers never include in news stories, but in this case, the term"far right Twitter troll" had a use. It sent an unmistakable message to the country and in particular, to the rest of the media and it was this: Douglass Mackey is a dangerous person with unspeakably ugly views. He deserves to be locked up. And so he was.
Here's one of his means on the screen."#DraftOurDaughters," Mackey wrote in what was very obviously a fake tweet from the Hillary Clinton campaign."They are ready to go to war for her. Are you?" Pretty funny. Now the criminal complaint against Douglass Mackey actually spells that out. You can read it for yourself. It's still online.
You cannot be sent to prison for your political views ever. That is the core principle of the United States. That is the principle that Marines fought their way to the top of Mount Suribachi to protect. Today, the DOJ subpoenaed Eric Herschmann. He represented Trump during the first impeachment. Herschmann never worked in the White House counsel's office. The Biden administration is going after him anyway because he gave legal advice to his client, Donald Trump. That used to be allowed. People used to be allowed to have lawyers and speak to them privately, but it's not allowed anymore.
TuckerCarlson Yep, grabbing power back from traitors.
TuckerCarlson january 6 was a terrorist attack organized by fox news and republicans
TuckerCarlson Why can't you understand that trump is a traitor, a lier,a con and he'll use anyone at their expense to get what he wants.
bonfiglio_n TuckerCarlson Lol, serving a search warrant is not a “raid”. Bad things happen when you steal top secret documents.
