Dan Goldman: ‘Hypocritical’ and ‘Ironic’ that Republicans Are Talking About the Rule of Law After Joe Biden’s Pardoning of Hunter

RUSH TRANSCRIPT Biden s ░░░░░░░░ of his son may ░░░░░░░░ put some pressure on ░░░░░░░░ Senate Republicans who have ░░░░░░░░ about Kash Patel being ░░░░░░░░ director that it may ░░░░░░░░ pressure them to confirm ░░░░░░░░ I don t really ░░░░░░░░ how one thing would ░░░░░░░░ have anything to do ░░░░░░░░ the other Hypocritical that ░░░░░░░░ many Republicans have seemed ░░░░░░░░ find the rule of ░░░░░░░░ to Joe Biden s ░░░░░░░░ of Hunter and are ░░░░░░░░ ignorant of the rule ░░░░░░░░ law when it comes ░░░░░░░░ Donald Trump and everything ░░░░░░░░ he has done But ░░░░░░░░ Patel is a danger ░░░░░░░░ he s unqualified and ░░░░░░░░ he is out for ░░░░░░░░ On behalf of Donald ░░░░░░░░ And that is not ░░░░░░░░ we should have leading ░░░░░░░░ should be a nonpartisan ░░░░░░░░ FBI that has a ░░░░░░░░ year term for a ░░░░░░░░ so that it is ░░░░░░░░ in line with the ░░░░░░░░ process so Kash Patel ░░░░░░░░ a danger separate and ░░░░░░░░ from anything having to ░░░░░░░░ with Hunter Biden s ░░░░░░░░ But it is yet ░░░░░░░░ example of how Donald ░░░░░░░░ is a danger to ░░░░░░░░ rule of law and ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden felt compelled ░░░░░░░░ pardon Hunter Of I ░░░░░░░░ listen the things you ░░░░░░░░ alleging a lot of ░░░░░░░░ will will agree with ░░░░░░░░ on that There are ░░░░░░░░ some Republicans who may ░░░░░░░░ with your uh your ░░░░░░░░ there about Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ norms that he s ░░░░░░░░ and the question then ░░░░░░░░ do you respond to ░░░░░░░░ breaking of norms by ░░░░░░░░ breaking other norms or ░░░░░░░░ breaking your promise and ░░░░░░░░ is certainly in this ░░░░░░░░ something Biden did So ░░░░░░░░ do you say to ░░░░░░░░ Don t think that ░░░░░░░░ you haven t heard ░░░░░░░░ say that Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ justified in pardoning Hunter ░░░░░░░░ because Donald Trump pardoned ░░░░░░░░ Stone who had incriminating ░░░░░░░░ about him and Paul ░░░░░░░░ and Charlie kushner And ░░░░░░░░ know the list goes ░░░░░░░░ That s not why ░░░░░░░░ s okay in my ░░░░░░░░ for Joe Biden to ░░░░░░░░ then to pardon him ░░░░░░░░ you said about Kash ░░░░░░░░ or we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ what Trump wants from ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement arm having ░░░░░░░░ Matt Gaetz Out for ░░░░░░░░ But then Pam Bondi ░░░░░░░░ who s very loyal ░░░░░░░░ him and whose independence ░░░░░░░░ been questioned is it ░░░░░░░░ your belief that the ░░░░░░░░ Department I mean the ░░░░░░░░ enforcement federal law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ Americans have faith in ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement now because ░░░░░░░░ seems that this decision ░░░░░░░░ brought that into question ░░░░░░░░ think what it brings ░░░░░░░░ into question is the ░░░░░░░░ that Donald Trump has ░░░░░░░░ forward Matt Gaetz Pam ░░░░░░░░ Kash Patel Tulsi Gabbard ░░░░░░░░ to implement the rule ░░░░░░░░ law They are they ░░░░░░░░ been picked to weaponize ░░░░░░░░ federal government against Donald ░░░░░░░░ s enemies and his ░░░░░░░░ And that is that ░░░░░░░░ the risk to the ░░░░░░░░ of law And that ░░░░░░░░ why Joe Biden used ░░░░░░░░ authority to protect his ░░░░░░░░ And I hear I ░░░░░░░░ your argument then it ░░░░░░░░ like you re saying ░░░░░░░░ that Americans cannot have ░░░░░░░░ in federal law enforcement ░░░░░░░░ it is implemented by ░░░░░░░░ picks that Trump is ░░░░░░░░ I mean is that ░░░░░░░░ fair representation of your ░░░░░░░░ on this I think ░░░░░░░░ s yet to be ░░░░░░░░ and certainly I m ░░░░░░░░ going to put the ░░░░░░░░ before the horse but ░░░░░░░░ on the statements that ░░░░░░░░ like Matt Gaetz Pam ░░░░░░░░ Kash Patel and Donald ░░░░░░░░ himself have made over ░░░░░░░░ last couple of years ░░░░░░░░ have been very explicit ░░░░░░░░ their desire to weaponize ░░░░░░░░ Department of Justice for ░░░░░░░░ own political purposes Of ░░░░░░░░ to this BS coming ░░░░░░░░ Republicans that Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Administration has ░░░░░░░░ the Department of Justice ░░░░░░░░ had an entire subcommittee ░░░░░░░░ two years on this ░░░░░░░░ they didn t show ░░░░░░░░ example where there was ░░░░░░░░ weaponization this is projection ░░░░░░░░ it is a distraction ░░░░░░░░ reality is that Donald ░░░░░░░░ tried to 10 times ░░░░░░░░ more weaponize the Department ░░░░░░░░ Justice in his first ░░░░░░░░ and he is now ░░░░░░░░ loyalists in the critical ░░░░░░░░ at the Department of ░░░░░░░░ who will absolutely weaponize ░░░░░░░░ Even more so the ░░░░░░░░ we have is under ░░░░░░░░ Trump presidency that of ░░░░░░░░ Department of Justice being ░░░░░░░░ not at all under ░░░░░░░░ Biden Administration And we ░░░░░░░░ including the media cannot ░░░░░░░░ any credit to that ░░░░░░░░ argument congressman Dan Goldman ░░░░░░░░ appreciate you joining us.
