I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America Show midday update. Biden family associate testimony
00:00:05.700
spells big trouble for the Bidens. Devin Archer testifying before the House Oversight Committee
00:00:11.480
that then Vice President Joe Biden took part in more than 20 phone calls with overseas business
00:00:17.860
associates to sell the family brand, as he put it. Archer also confirmed that Joe Biden attended
00:00:24.420
a business dinner with Hunter Biden and business associates at Cafe Milano in Washington in 2014.
00:00:32.280
Yelena Batarina, the billionaire ex-wife of Moscow's mayor, also attended that dinner. Archer is the
00:00:39.380
latest to come forward to expose the Bidens for what they are, corrupt. President Trump still
00:00:46.140
expects to be indicted on January 6 charges by Jack Smith any day now. Trump posting the following
00:00:53.280
message to his true social account, quote, I assume that an indictment from deranged Jack Smith and his
00:00:59.580
highly partisan gang of thugs pertaining to my peacefully and patriotically speech will be coming
00:01:06.220
out any day now is yet another attempt to cover up all of the bad news about bribes, payoffs, and
00:01:12.840
extortion coming from the Biden camp. This seems to be the way they do it. Election interference,
00:01:18.780
that's prosecutorial misconduct. Please join us today on The Great America Show. Our guest is
00:01:24.900
Will Scharf, former federal prosecutor, counselor to Supreme Court nominees Barrett and Kavanaugh
00:01:30.280
for their Senate confirmations, and now candidate for the Attorney General of the great state of
00:01:36.680
Missouri. Scharf says junkyard dog special counsel Jack Smith has a losing hand, a weak case against
00:01:45.020
President Trump, and he believes Trump will walk away untouched from this partisan attack and legal
00:01:52.780
hoax. Jack Smith stood up in front of the American people and basically said that this is an open and
00:01:58.540
shut case, that they found these boxes at Mar-a-Lago and therefore President Trump has to go to prison.
00:02:04.420
Now, I'm a former prosecutor. What I did is I looked at the indictment they filed,
00:02:09.740
and I read the law, and I came to a very different conclusion. When you actually look at the law,
00:02:15.980
they've charged President Trump under a section of the Espionage Act. Your viewers can all or your
00:02:20.700
listeners can all look it up. It's 18 United States Code Section 793E. And under Section 793E,
00:02:28.660
they need to prove not just that there were some sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago, but they need to
00:02:35.160
prove that President Trump had in his possession what's called national defense information,
00:02:41.160
information that could hurt the United States or help a foreign power. They need to show that he
00:02:45.780
knew he had that information. They need to show that he knew that he wasn't authorized to have that
00:02:51.540
information. They need to show that he knew he was supposed to give it to a federal official or a
00:02:58.660
government official. And they need to show that he willfully failed to turn over that information
00:03:04.260
that he knew that he had to that government official. And based on what they've put in the
00:03:09.800
indictment, I don't think they can prove that, that there's an act called the Presidential Records Act,
00:03:15.560
which dictates what happens when a presidential administration ends. And it gives the president
00:03:20.200
broad discretion to designate some records as personal records. Those would be things like diaries,
00:03:26.760
journals, personal memorabilia, items of a primarily personal nature. And then the president's also supposed
00:03:33.220
to designate his presidential records. Those are more official papers, things memorializing
00:03:38.680
official decisions and that sort of thing. Now, courts have consistently held that the president
00:03:43.900
has broad discretion in how he designates personal versus presidential records. I don't think that the
00:03:51.480
special counsel can prove that President Trump knew he had anything he wasn't supposed to have.
00:03:56.840
I'm not even sure if they can prove that he had anything he wasn't supposed to have.
00:04:00.360
And they definitely can't prove, in my view, that he willfully failed to turn over
00:04:05.560
any national defense information to any government official that he knew had a right to repeat it.
