Should President Trump wear a bulletproof vest, considering all the threats against him lately? Yesterday, Democrats pressed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth about accusations of insider trading and secret deals, but there’s no solid proof behind these claims. Hegseth stood by the administration’s decision to go to war with Iran over concerns about nuclear weapons. Mark interviews Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett. Greg and Mark debate the bizarre story about James Comey and some seashells, and how it might tie into talk of an indictment. Greg thinks Comey has a habit of acting like there’s trouble around Trump when there really isn’t. He also suggests that rumors about Comey’s indictment could be linked to his book sales. Greg points out that the First Amendment doesn’t protect threats against the President, which could make things interesting for Comey in court.

Both Stone and Comey were charged with similar crimes of lying under oath. Tulsi Gabbard played a key role in declassifying documents that pointed to a conspiracy involving Comey, Obama, Biden, and others, which she was able to accomplish thanks to her appointment by President Trump in 2016.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
