Welcome this great Tuesday Afternnon of the Prist date All Star Games Night starting him
aout eight o five. Last time I'm watching the convention, I thought it
was like Jesus taken to the amount of olives. When Trump came out down
the hallway ww E. St Isle with the bandages on his head like a
wounded warrior. I've out lost it. I'm going crazy. I'm up on
my chair, I'm cheering. And then he takes his seat, talks to
Byron Donald's who's been on the show a few times, and of course Vance,
He's been with me a few times. I'm looking at something. I
can't believe what I'm watching. But then I turn over to the mainstream media.
I had no idea that up to this point JD. Vance had lived
a life that somehow had an opinion that he made money, that he came
out of hillbilly elegy. I get that he was born in Kentucky, raised
in Middletown. I was born in Kentucky, raised in Deer Park. I
get it, to understand it. But the media now is in the mode
of attacking JD. Vance, bring down Vance by any means necessary. And
I'm watching this I can't believe it. But also we have the lawfair going
on with Judge Cannon and Florida, in which she ruled that the appointment of
Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutional. And the media, of course now is
going after Judge Cannon because she didn't rule the right way. But a man
with opinions, he's like a real lawyer and a constitutional scholar and the great
American Chris Finny of the Chris Finny Law Firm, and Chris FINNI welcome again
to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Chris, before we talk about Judge Cannon
and how the vicious media is now attacking her, can you give me an
overview of the lawfair that's been conducted against Donald Trump since twenty sixteen. Well,
I really think just stepping back and helped having people have a perspective about
what where you are in sort of the timeline of what's going on. Let
me take you all the way back to nineteen ninety eight and Hillary Clinton coined
the phrase fast right wing conspiracy and the reality is she wasn't wrong. There's
organized up and DC. Both sides have very sophisticated organized teams that are political
legal special interests inside and outside government, no question. But the vasked left
wing conspiracy is far broader and far deeper, which is where they talk about
the deep state. And if you really look at the timeline of where we
are, and a lot of people predicted this leading up to Trump's reelection,
which Joe Biden says is well, I guess there's twenty twenty, But Joe
Biden's got twenty twenty and twenty twenty four mixed up. We were embroiled with
the riots all over the country and COVID all at the same time, and
you could go out and riot and not get COVID, but you weren't able
to go to work or shop or anything else. But they foisted all of
this on the country. And then you remember the Kavanaugh and Gorsich confirmations and
them attacking the Supreme Court and all the nonsense. But it was a steady
drum beat that built up to the election. And guess what we're going through
right now, this steady ramping up drum beat leading to the election. And
I can say confidently knowing and I've been up to the US Supreme Court,
I've been in some of these halls. This whole lawfare that's been orchestrated against
Trump comes directly from the Democrat National Committee, And you've seen glimpses of that
where Fanny Willis and her boyfriend went into the White House and went to the
DNC for meetings where they put a lawyer from the Justice Department up in the
trial that the Stormy Daniels trial up in New York to orchestrate and make sure
that that was handled well. So this is all being orchestrated. Imagine this.
You know, these crimes, the Stormy Daniels thing allegedly occurred eight years
ago, and they're finally trying it right before the election in twenty twenty four.
Imagine the coincidence. This is all orchestrated. And then the thing with
the assassination. I don't you know that the Secret Service inexcusable that that woman
doesn't resign for her incompetence the head of the Secret Service. But you know,
do I think there was a conspiracy to an assassinate Donald Trump? I
don't, but I do think that it is part of the vast left wing
conspiracy, just like the vast right wing conspiracy to ramp up the tenor of
the vitriol as you approach the election that everybody's you know this, you know,
going to destroy the country versus having an orderly election. So we can
we all should take a step back and see the perspective of where we are
and expect what is happening and what has happened. But the legal strategies are
all part of that. Chris Finny. On that front, there's no big
powwow taking place with in which Atlanta, New York City, the DOJ they
all get together and win room and say you do this, you do that,
We'll do this, you do that. They just know what to do.
And the idea that Matthew Colangelo, number three at DOJ, will just
happened to show up in a courtroom in New York City to prosecute Donald Trump,
and a dirty New York City courtroom by Alvin Bragg just happened to go
from the DOJ in Washington to a dirty courtroom, a misdemeanor type courtroom in
New York City is impossible. And then according to according NBC Meet the Press,
that happens all the time. I listened to Kristan Walker on Sunday morning,
Well, hell, that happens all no, it does. I would
have said, Vance should have said, well, give me one other example
where a top ranking DOJ official ended up in like Hamlety County Municipal court to
prosecute somebody. That doesn't happen. It never happens. And you have Nathan
Wade meeting in the White House twice with DOJ officials just before the indictment of
Donald Trump in Atlanta. How many times would Melissa Powers send an assistant to
the DOJ, maybe of Donald Trump, to prosecute Joe Biden and the media
find a coincidence, There's no connection, and then talk about the assassination at
Temple. I had Brad Weinsterpond yesterday. In twenty seventeen, a left winger
from Illinois made his way to decapitate the leadership with House of Representatives with a
SCS, a rifle and also a couple of pistols, and one hundred shots
were fired trying to kill the leadership of the Republican House of Representatives. Winship
survived scaliso a inch of death. Then judicially, you have Chuck Schumer on
the White House steps saying to Gore, Sitch and Kavanall, you never know
what's going to hit you. And then a few weeks later, an assassin
shows up outside of Kavanall's home. Now you've got the executive branch of government,
which is Donald Trump being shot by an assassin, and we're still finding
out more about him down the road. But you don't need an organized effort.
It's disorganized and organized in order to make sure that Donald Trump can't win.
And in spite of all that, in spite of all of that,
look where we are. Talk about Judge Cannon. I'm watching last not MSNBC,
so you don't have to. She's been called everything but a white man
for ruling that a federal official under the Article II the Constitution cannot give his
power does some private citizen. Jack Smith was in Europe at the time.
That that'd be as if Judge Michael Bhaar downtown a federal official, a federal
judge who was confirmed by the sound It would say, you know what,
I'm stepping aside. I'm going to appoint Tony Bender. Tony Bender, come
on in here and take my job as a federal judge. You can't take
your power and just give it to a private citizen. Am I right or
wrong? That is that is exactly right. So your analysis ties in closely
with Judge Cannon's ninety three page, extremely well thought through opinion that she had
on that one issue. The other issue is the special Counsel, with his
expenses, has just usurped twenty four million dollars of unlimited by the way funds
from the from the federal Treasury to fund this one case and without any a
already by Congress to do so. So both of those things were cited by
Judge Cannon in this and Willie, it actually all ties in to what you're
saying about the deep state and this collusion issue because the way. First of
all, there is no Special Council statute that expired after the Bill Clinton Special
Council, So there is no statute. The day it expired without any legislative
authorization, the Justice Department enacted Special Council regulations which mirrored that statute and began
to follow them. But what Judge Cannon points out is, first of all,
in the appointments clause, key federal officials have to be which this category
is, have to be appointed by the President, confirmed by the Senate.
But beyond that they have to any other appointments have to be authorized by special
legislation of Congress, and there was none. So the idea that you could
bring in a non presidential appointment, because there have been special counsels who are
also confirmed United States attorneys and they possibly could serve in those roles. But
this guy was plucked out of private industry by the bureaucracy who just out of
whole cloth both created his appointment, which which there you know. The judge
said to Merrick Garland, said, tell me what your authority was to have
created this position and appointed this person as the prosecutor. And he cited instead
of one thing, he cited ten different things, saying we have plenary authority
from the Congress to you know, enact the cause of justice in this country.
Nothing specific. And then when it came down so she really pinned him
down, she said, tell me the specific statute that you're using. And
it was a statute that was used to create the FBI and had some vague
language about hiring law enforcement person. And she said, that doesn't cut it.
And there's really a funny quote in here, which is Congress does not
hide elephants in mouseholes. In other words, they didn't create this huge,
huge responsibility that can spend one hundred million dollars prosecuting a former president for all
kinds of crimes, you know, a roving a system of justice, a
roving inspector looking for some crime. They didn't create this massive legal structure and
hide it in the middle of the FBI statute. Congress does not hide elephants
in mouseholes. If they wanted to enact a special Council statute and empower Merrick
Garland to do this, they could do that. But they've chosen not to
do that. Well, the issue is going to go up and up and
up, and god know how is it going to turn out. But Mary
Garland today could say, you know what, I'm going to appoint the US
Attorney from the Southern District of Florida who was affirmed by the Senate. He's
going to pick up the prosecution of Donald Trump. He doesn't have to rely
upon Jack Smith, who was a private citizen. He could appoint someone in
his own office. Politically, he doesn't want to do that. He wants
to control the operation indirectly, but not directly, because if Mary Garland did
it directly, it would look as if Joe Biden is prosecuting Donald Trump,
which of course he is, but nonetheless, it would look bad politically for
Mary Garland to have one of his own guys confirmed by the Senate to actually
prosecute Donald Trump on these ridiculous charges. So he wants the dirty work to
be done by Jack Smith, whose last big case was against Governor MacDonald and
the State of Virginia. He was reversed nine zip on using the wrong statute.
So Jack Smith has a terrible record except going out Republicans. And so
Mary Garland wants Jack Smith to do what legally his office should do, but
politically it looks bad. So Mary Garland, the Attorney General, broke the
law in order to have this prosecution occur during the presidential campaign, which didn't
begin until Donald Trump announced for the presidency. Is that correct? You could
appoint someone from the southern district of Florida right now to continue it, but
he won't. I believe that's possible. Yeah, and Willie, let me
let me say something. I think it's important for your listeners to hear this.
Judge Eileen Cannon down in Florida. I've practiced, I've had the privilege
of practicing in federal courts, not just in Ohio, but in Kentucky,
Oklahoma and other states. But I've been all the way to the United States
Supreme Court three times, and whether appointed by Republicans or Democrats, people really
don't understand these are not political positions. And the people that get through this
system, and it's really a wonderful, amazing system for our country and become
presidential appointments Senate confirmation without almost without exception, are fantastic ethical their thinkers,
their attorneys, and they're brilliant people that have very high ethics. And the
constant drumbeat of criticism of Aileen Cannon, which candidly is somewhat sexist because they
portray her as some sort of intellectual lightweight. I encourage your listeners, I
encourage you to read this ninety three page decision. It is some of the
best writing and reasoning legally that I've ever seen. It's really detailed. I
want to make sure your listeners hear that. The other thing I want to
say to you is when I go into federal court, and I've said this
on your radio before, when I go into federal court and stand a government
official up and essentially tell the judge that they've exceeded their authority. It is
so refreshing to have a federal judge, any judge, sometimes it's in state
court, to go beyond the simple things saying, hey, the City of
Cincinnati, they must know what they're doing, they did the right thing,
or the state of Ohio or whatever it might be, to listen to your
arguments, apply the law, and to slap down a government official who's far
exceeding their authority. It is so refreshing and candidly, just like with the
First Amendment of the Constitution, if the judges won't enforce it, it doesn't
mean anything. And so it is our last line of defense to have these
judges who say, you know, this is a this is not a plenary
authority. You know we have Kim Jong un running the country. We have
a constitutional republican. What that means is each of our officials, federal,
state, local school board along they all have limitations under constitution and statute of
their authority. And there's a structure of a separation of powers in this country
that is respected. If you have a judge who's intelligent and courageous to have
the backbone and take the time she did two day hearing on this, just
this one issue, and mountains of briefing on it, and she did a
brilliant job and a brilliant analysis, and I think it's bulletproof. When this
goes up to the Eleventh Circuit and up to the United States Supreme Court,
I think she's going to be upheld. And I think that Merrick Garland was
just dead wrong in appointing Jack Smith, and that then impacts the other the
Jay six kise that he has as well. It's Chris. I'm gladulated out,
but to have our government weaponized against the candidate who now is a wounded
warrior is something You could not have made this up, that somehow the assassin,
by a millimeter or two did not blow out the back of Trump's head
John F. Kennedy style, but instead wounded him. And when he showed
up last night and that hall in Milwaukee, my god, I think the
archangel Mike Saint Michael was protecting him for some higher purpose. And I hate
what the media is trying to do to J. JD Vance, but that's
what they do. They won't do a bio on JD. Vans to talk
about a father kid in Middletown dysfunctional, He'll Billy Elergy, goes to the
Marine Corps because he can't afford to go to college, comes out, goes
to Ohio State, goes to Yale Law Magna. I'm sorry, Summa cum
laud go to the University of Cambridge in London with the degree in philosophy and
comes back, marries an Indian girl and they got three great little kids.
I've had dinner with him, and I'm thinking, how do you attack this
guy? And the media will find that little crack eight years ago when he
said something about Trump that they can use for their political purposes. Our mainstream
media today is an arm of the Democratic left wing party, and I wish
the Democratic Party of Joe Lieberman still existed, but it does not. But
the media marches in line with the orders from Washington how to cover Republicans that
they would never do with Democrats. Never Well, Chris Finny, we got
to go. Love to have you there, and thanks again for coming on
the Bill Cunningham Show. But the law fair continues. Trump I think will
win. I think right now might use the term bulletproof, or to use
the term of President Joe Biden, that right now Donald Trump is the bullseye
and to have that language out of the mouth of the President, which last
night he wanted to revise and extend his remarks with Lester Holt, was illustrative
of the problem. But once again, Chris Finnie, you're a great American
and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you. It's a
deep honor. Thanks Willie God bless America. Chris Finny, Chris Finny Law
