Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4:
- In July 2016, then-Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey explained that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had mishandled classified information, though the federal government decided to not charge her with any crimes. Based upon the standard set with Clinton, why is Donald Trump being charged?
- In an article for Just the News, journalist John Solomon writes about the Bill Clinton “Sock Drawer” defense and how it relates to Donald Trump’s legal troubles: “[t]he case in question is titled Judicial Watch v. National Archives and Records Administration and it involved an effort by the conservative watchdog to compel the Archives to forcibly seize hours of audio recordings that Clinton made during his presidency with historian Taylor Branch…U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington D.C. ultimately rejected Judicial Watch's suit by concluding there was no provision in the Presidential Records Act to force the National Archives to seize records from a former president.” Concluding “that a president's discretion on what are personal vs. official records is far-reaching and solely his, as is his ability to declassify or destroy records at will.” You can read Solomon’s full article here: https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/old-case-over-audio-tapes-bill-clintons-sock-drawer-could-impact
- Former Arkansas Governor, and current Republican presidential candidate, Asa Hutchinson said that Donald Trump should end his reelection campaign “for the good of the country.”
- Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid raved about the “exotic chicken fingers” he ate while visiting the White House. What the hell is an exotic chicken finger???
