Missouri AG Andrew Bailey: Trump trial an ‘illicit witch hunt,' jury 'a roving commission'



Jurors in former president Donald Trump’s New York hush-money trial have deliberated on whether or not to convict him — and they did.

However, Glenn Beck believes there are some major issues.

“Four of them can say, ‘I think you know he falsified checks,’ whatever they think the crime is because it wasn’t really defined. Even if they don’t agree on the crime, if 12 of them think he committed some crime, well, then he’s guilty. I’ve never heard that before,” Glenn says.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is in agreement.

“This reeks of desperation by the prosecutor and the judge to obtain a conviction. If people were not previously convinced that this was an illicit witch hunt prosecution, they should be so now,” Bailey says. “This is insane.”

Bailey notes that this violates the Sixth Amendment as well as the former president’s Due Process rights.

“How’s he supposed to know how to offer a defense if he doesn’t even know what the target crime is?” Bailey says.

“It empowers this jury to become a roving commission, and again, that reeks of desperation.”

“That violates the basic constitutional tenets that underpin the Due Process Clause and the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial,” he says.

What has happened reminds Bailey of a story from the past.

“There was a Roman emperor who used to nail the laws to the highest point on the columns so that the Roman citizens wouldn’t be able to read them. And that’s what this is like. I mean, the judge is saying, ‘Jury, I’m going to charge you to find a crime, any crime you want, and I’m not gonna let you read the jury instructions. Trust me, you guys, just go back and pick something you want to convict him of,’” Bailey tells Glenn.

“How is the jury supposed to apply facts to the law if they can’t see the law in front of them?"

Glenn: THIS is REALLY why the far left INDICTED Donald Trump



Donald Trump is the first U.S. president to be indicted on federal charges.

While the former president now faces 37 criminal charges on top of the 34 felony charges against him in New York state, the two legal cases haven’t seemed to hurt the former president’s 2024 campaign.

So, what is this really all about?

Glenn Beck thinks he may have some answers.

“Let me just tell you what I think this is really about. This is not really, truly about anything other than one, for those who have truly gone insane,” Beck says, adding that it’s also because Biden is a “wannabe dictator” who puts his enemies in jail.

The indictment came on the same day that it was reported that Joe and Hunter Biden were allegedly given $10 million in bribes by an executive at Ukrainian gas company Burisma.

“This is misdirection,” Beck says.

“It’s about misdirection on the Biden crimes. It is about putting Donald Trump in jail but maybe not for the reason you think,” he continues.

Beck adds that it’s also misdirection when it comes to the economy, the dollar, the war, and “everything that actually matters.”

He likens it to the obsession by our politicians with Pride — saying Pride isn’t really about gay rights, but instead it’s about distracting from real issues.

“This Trump thing is not about Donald Trump. Certainly not about the law,” he adds.

Rather, Beck says, it’s “about enraging enough Americans, period.”

“First of all, you really want to play this game about putting people in jail? You’re going to put him in jail for documents that he had,” yet, Beck says, “you’re still telling us there’s nothing to do with your son? Really?”

Beck believes that in order to combat this attack on Americans, we have to “return.”

“You must stand up and return to God, the gospel, and the Bill of Rights.”

Debunking the Donald Trump indictment



Donald Trump just became the first U.S. president to be indicted by the Department of Justice on federal charges, and while many on the left are rejoicing, others see this as a purely political move.

The former president is facing seven counts related to his storage of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home.

“Some will say,” Pat Gray begins, “Donald Trump was indicted simply because of political reasons and, uh, wow — it’s true.”

Stu agrees.

He believes that if Donald Trump had been leaking top secret documents to the public like the kid who had leaked information on the Ukrainian war to his friends on Discord, it would be a “real problem.”

However, he also believes that the motivation in the kid's case was attempting to be cool among his friend group.

“I don’t know that this indicates that he should be in prison for the rest of his life, but I could understand why that would be a big story.”

“But, what basically is going on here is Donald Trump was president of the United States. He could see any of these documents. He had all of this information already,” Stu adds.

And no one is accusing Trump of selling the documents to foreign nationals or using them to launch a secret war in another country.

Rather, Stu says that “what they are accusing him of is not giving them back in a timely fashion when they wanted them.”

“What did he put it in the wrong filing cabinet? This is what we’re going to bring a president down on?”

Gray believes the indictment truly is politically motivated.

“They’re trying desperately to stop him from running for president,” he says.

“At this point, I think they’re pretty afraid that he’ll beat them,” Gray adds.

Indictment UPDATE: 5 CHARGES leftists may make against Trump



Tomorrow will be a defining moment in United States history.

President Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury and will be appearing in court.

Glenn Beck says that the indictment of Trump “makes America a more dangerous place.” He continues, “You’re going to have the tensions just escalate.”

But no one truly knows what case is about to be brought against Trump, so Glenn and Stu have taken some time to discuss the possible “weak” ones we might be hearing about in the near future.

Stu says the Stormy Daniels case is “the worst — the weakest of the four or five cases that are out there.”

“Now that this Stormy Daniels thing has gone forward,” Stu continues, “it makes the other cases more likely to come forward because now they don’t have to deal with that precedent-setting thing.”

Glenn interjects, “They’re gonna indict I think in Georgia, but again, it will be laughable.”

There is discussion that the judge may even issue a gag order, which Glenn calls “insanity.”

“It’s such a problem because if, you know, you have no chance of justice if the justice system is corrupted.”

He continues, “If Donald Trump had done something wrong, if he were in bed with the Russians, we would have absolutely exposed it. It’s important. But if you don’t have fair people that are looking at the facts and really actually calling balls and strikes, the game is meaningless.”

“If you don’t have a fair umpire, the game is meaningless. And that’s all this is turning into: a game.”
