President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has just handed down a charge of criminal misinformation, indicting former president Donald Trump for the third time this year.
Glenn Beck is in disbelief.
“That seemingly made-up crime somehow led to a coordinated assault on the Capitol on January 6,” Beck says, calling this a “game-changing precedent.”
“If Trump is convicted on this — is misinformation now a crime under case law? Are untrue political statements made by politicians or others, in other words 99% of every 99% of everything politicians ever say — is it now a potential crime?” Glenn asks.
Glenn has a lot of questions and wonders if this would affect how media outlets report the news.
“If misinformation is a crime, will they ever go after, let’s say, the Washington Post for the crimes of misinformation that they have done on Hunter Biden?”
“What exactly is on trial here? Is it political speech? Is it lies? Is it anything the regime doesn’t like said, and does it matter who said it?” He asks.
The judge assigned to the case is an Obama appointee named Tanya Chutkan, who is the only judge in D.C. who has handed out sentences to January 6 defendants that were longer than the government requested.
“To say Trump is attending a trial behind enemy lines is an understatement. This is a witch hunt,” Glenn remarks.
Glenn believes that this has very little to do with the past — and much more to do with the future. The future that the Democrats want, to be specific.
“They want to throw him in jail, and all of the people are in place to make this happen. This indictment focuses on events that happened in 2020. But don’t be fooled, this has nothing to do with 2020 and everything to do with 2024.”
