The former president is still facing a flurry of legal investigations from New York to Georgia while the evidence is piling up at the January 6th committee and the DOJ. So much for Robert Mueller's sanguine pronouncement that we needn't worry about his refusal to recommend indictment because, of course, they could always do it after the president left office.īut that's the only good news on this front that Trump's received in recent days. Unless they make a move very quickly, the statute of limitations is about to run out on that front. The good news for Trump is that it appears the Department of Justice (DOJ) has decided that all of the obstruction of justice Trump perpetrated in plain sight during the Russia investigation is not worth prosecuting.
Let's look at all of the legal cases and investigations that seem to be pushing forward against Trump despite his best efforts to repel them with lawsuits and delaying tactics. At one point Trump referenced Fox’s own coverage of the indictment as evidence of his innocence.If last week was considered Joe Biden's no-good, very bad week, there's a case to be made that this week was Donald Trump's no-good, even worse week. In the days leading up to Trump’s arraignment, Carlson warned viewers that the former president’s plight was indicative of a widespread “political purge” against Republicans. The Fox Host has wholeheartedly embraced Trump’s allegations that the charges against him are tantamount to election interference. Carlson quickly injected an apology while Trump continued ranting about his chummy relationship with dictator Kim Jung Un.Ĭarlson has been laying the groundwork for a friendly Trump interview for weeks now, launching a counter-offensive in defense of the former president. I've become a environmentalist in my own way… /afUdeTWnHZ- Acyn April 12, 2023Īt one point the former president called out Carlson for causing him headaches during a trip to North Korea. The environmentalists talk about all this nonsense in many cases. Trump: When I listen to people talk about global warming. Before breaking for a commercial early in the show, Carlson admitted to viewers that while he intended to discuss the criminal case against Trump, the interview was dominated by Trump’s stream of conscious musings – which touched on foreign policy, his personal “n-word” (nuclear energy), and how attractive he found Chinese President Xi Jinping’s language interpreter. The rest of the interview was dominated by Trump’s virtually unchecked rantings. The former president briefly addressed the arraignment, asserting that he did “nothing wrong” and claiming employees at the Manhattan courthouse had cried and apologized to him. The Fox host deferred to the former president at every turn and simply folded as Trump hijacked the post-arraignment billing of their discussion in favor of airing another installment of his own Trump Show.Ĭarlson was a passenger to his own interview. None of the bravado Carlson displayed when texting coworkers that he hated Trump “passionately” and believed he was a “ demonic force” was present in the interview aired Tuesday. In his first public interview since being arraigned on federal charges of falsification of business records, Donald Trump sat down with Tucker Carlson for an interview where the Fox host was more set prop than one of the biggest names in cable news.
