WHO BET TORE -- WHO BETTER TO

HELP US UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL

ASPECT OF THIS IS FOX NEWS LEGAL

ANALYST GREGG JARRETT AND THE

AUTHOR OF THE BOOK THE WITCH

HUNT.

LET'S START WITH THE LATEST ON

THE IMPEACHMENT AND THEN WE WILL

GET TO THE NEW INFORMATION IN

YOUR BOOK, AFTER THAT, BUT JUST

VERY CLEARLY, WHAT IS THE

ARGUMENT HERE ABOUT THE LEGAL

BASIS FOR THIS IMPEACHMENT

EFFORT?

>> THERE IS NO LEGAL BASIS.

THE CRIMINAL DIVISION AT THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, THESE ARE

CAREER PROSECUTORS, THE BEST IN

THE NATION, LOOKED AT THE

OFFICIAL RECORD OF THE

CONVERSATION BETWEEN PRESIDENT

ZELENSKY AND TRUMP, AND THEY

UNANIMOUSLY CONCLUDED THERE IS

NO CRIME.

THERE'S NO CAMPAIGN FINANCE

VIOLATION.

SO ON WHAT BASIS ARE DEMOCRATS

MOVING FOR IMPEACHMENT?

THEY'VE EMBRACED THIS RATHER

NOTION THAT IT WAS AN ABUSE OF

POWER BECAUSE HE WAS TARGETING

HIS POLITICAL OPPONENT JOE

BIDEN.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FRAMERS

FEARED THAT AN OPPOSING PARTY

WOULD SEEK FOR PURELY POLITICAL

REASONS TO TRY TO REMOVE A

PRESIDENT.

AS YOU POINTED OUT, WHEN BIDEN

ENGAGED IN A QUID PRO QUO, HE

WAS VICE PRESIDENT.

IT WASN'T RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

AT THE TIME -- HE WASN'T RUNNING

FOR PRESIDENT AT THE TIME.

AND THIS PRESIDENT, ANY

PRESIDENT WHO HAS REASON TO

BELIEVE THAT A PUBLIC OFFICE

HOLDER IS ENGAGED IN A CORRUPT

ACT, IT IS INCUMBENT UPON HIS

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE OR HIM TO

ASK UKRAINE LOOK, IF YOU HAVE

EVIDENCE OF THIS, PLEASE TURN IT

OVER TO US BECAUSE IT'S A CRIME

FOR A PUBLIC OFFICE HOLDER TO

CONFER A BENEFIT IN EXCHANGE FOR

SOMETHING OF VALUE TO HIMSELF OR

IN THIS CASE TO HIS SON.

THIS HASN'T BEEN DEBUNKED AS THE

MEDIA AND BIDEN CLAIM.

THERE'S ENOUGH EVIDENCE HERE TO

JUSTIFY LOOKING INTO IT.

STEVE: AND SO CAN I JUST ON THAT

POINT ASK YOU ABOUT THE RUDY

GIULIANI ROLE BECAUSE A LOT HAS

BEEN MADE OF THE -- HERE THIS

QUESTION THE WHOLE TIME WELL IF

THERE'S SOMETHING TO INVESTIGATE

HERE, WHY DOESN'T PRESIDENT

TRUMP USE THE RESOURCES AT HIS

DISPOSAL AS RUNNING THE

EXECUTIVE, THE FBI, AND SO ON,

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT?

WHY DOES HE HAVE RUDY GIULIANI

DOING IT?

IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ATTORNEY

GENERAL BARR WAS MENTIONED IN

CONNECTION WITH THESE

INVESTIGATIONS.

WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT?

>> WELL, THE PRESIDENT CAN USE

WHOMEVER HE WANTS.

THAT'S HIS RIGHT AS CHIEF

EXECUTIVE.

BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY BILL BARR,

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WHO ASKED

THE PRESIDENT TO PLEASE

INTRODUCE HIM TO FOREIGN LEADERS

TO PURSUE HIS OFFICIAL

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORIGINS

OF THE TRUMP RUSSIA COLLUSION

HOAX AND ANY OTHER RELATED

MATTER.

SO IF GIULIANI RUNS ACROSS IN

HIS CAPACITY AS THE ATTORNEY FOR

THE PRESIDENT INFORMATION ABOUT

A POTENTIAL CORRUPT ACT BY JOE

BIDEN, HE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO

FURTHER LOOK INTO IT AND TURN IT

OVER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF

JUSTICE, ON BEHALF OF THE

PRESIDENT.

STEVE: ALL RIGHT.

LET'S MOVE TO YOUR FANTASTIC

BOOK THE FALLOUT TO THE RUSSIA

HOAX WITCH HUNT.

I SAW YOU ON "FOX & FRIENDS"

TALKING ABOUT IT THIS WEEK.

THEY PROMISED THREE REVEALS IN

YOUR BOOK THAT WERE NEW PIECES

OF INFORMATION THAT WE HAD TO

KNOW ABOUT.

BUT THERE WAS ONLY -- THEY RAN

OUT OF TIME.

AND WE ONLY GOT TO TWO OF THEM.

CAN YOU GIVE US ALL THREE

TONIGHT, GREGG?

>> SURE.

ONE OF THE ASTONISHING THINGS I

FOUND OUT IS APPOINTMENT OF BOB

MUELLER OF SPECIAL COUNSEL WAS

MADE BY ROD ROSENSTEIN, NOT

BECAUSE THE EVIDENCE MERITED IT,

BECAUSE HE GOT MAD AT TRUMP.

IT WAS AN ACT OF VENGEANCE AND

RETALIATION AGAINST THE

PRESIDENT.

AND ROSENSTEIN KNEW WHAT HE DID

WAS WRONG, WHEN CONFRONTED ON

THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT IN

HIS OFFICE, HE LITERALLY COWERED

BEHIND HIS DESK AND BLUBBERED AM

I GOING TO GET FIRED?

THAT'S CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT.

THE OTHER REVEAL IS THAT A YEAR

BEFORE MUELLER CAME OUT WITH HIS

REPORT, THERE WAS THIS UGLY

CONFRONTATION BETWEEN TRUMP'S

LAWYERS AND BOB MUELLER AND HIS

TEAM OF PARTISANS IN WHICH

MUELLER ADMITTED THERE WAS NO

EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION, AND

TRUMP'S LAWYERS BECAME ANGRY.

WHY DON'T YOU TELL THIS TO THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE?

HE REFUSED TO DO IT, AND A

SHOUTING MATCH ENSUES WITH

TRUMP'S LAWYER POUNDING ON THE

DESK AND YELLING AT BOB MUELLER.

AND THE THIRD REVEAL WOULD BE

THAT AT THAT TIME, TRUMP'S

LAWYERS WERE DEEPLY WORRIED

ABOUT THE MENTAL STATE OF BOB

MUELLER.

HE SEEMED LOST, CONFUSED,

DISORIENTED.

HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND FUNDAMENTAL

FACTS ABOUT THE CASE.

HE SEEMED TO BE OBLIVIOUS TO THE

LAW OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

AND OF COURSE WE LEARNED A YEAR

AND A HALF LATER, JUST THIS LAST

JULY, WHEN MUELLER TESTIFIED, IT

WAS AS IF THE -- YOU KNOW, THE

CURTAIN WAS PULLED BACK ON THE

WIZARD OF OZ, AND HE WASN'T WHAT

HIS REPUTATION HAD PROMISED.

STEVE: WOW.

WELL, THERE YOU GO, THANK YOU,

GREGG, VERY VERY --

>> THESE ARE SOME OF THE MANY

STORIES IN THE NEW BOOK "WITCH

HUNT", WHICH JUST CAME OUT.
