Schmidt: Harvard Hired a Conservative Legal Team to See What the Antisemitism Task Force Wanted to Head Off

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCHMIDT: "They’re gearing up for. A long. Protracted battle, but I think you have to go back and understand where this. Group came from. And this group. Initially came. From Harvard. Harvard won’t say negotiating, but Harvard having a back and forth with the Trump Administration before this all went off. The rails. Just a few weeks ago Harvard’s lawyers. Were engaged in listening to the administration about what the administration wanted, and it seemed like the administration was having a more favorable posture to Harvard than they were to a school like Columbia. And there was this back and forth and on this fateful Friday, maybe, I guess, three, three weeks ago now. Harvard expected to get a. Letter from the administration, from the task force, the anti antisemitism task force that laid out what the administration was looking for Harvard to do, and they expected that to be the next step in their in their sort of listening to the administration about what they wanted. That letter never came in a very hyperbolic one that someone described to me was essentially like putting Stephen Miller as the chancellor of Harvard came instead in the middle of the night. And then Harvard decides that Monday to essentially take the gloves off and go at it with Trump. So, yes, this is a conservative legal team that is built to fight Trump’s administration in court, but it was also a conservative legal team that was put together to talk to the task force and see what the anti Semitism task force wanted to head off something like this."
