I'm Lou Dobbs with this Great America Show midday update for Wednesday, August 2nd, 2023.

President Trump indicted once again by the junkyard dog of a special counsel, Jack Smith.
00:00:11.880
The Marxist-Dim activist special counsel announcing a four-count indictment against
00:00:16.500
the former president. There were no surprises in it. Here's the ruthless jackal announcing
00:00:21.960
his indictment of the former president once again yesterday. Today, an indictment was unsealed.
00:00:28.720
Charging Donald J. Trump with conspiring to defraud the United States, conspiring to disenfranchise
00:00:37.300
voters, and conspiring and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding.
00:00:43.080
The indictment was issued by a grand jury of citizens here in the District of Columbia,
00:00:48.000
and it sets forth the crimes charged in detail. I encourage everyone to read it in full.
00:00:54.500
The attack on our nation's capital on January 6th, 2021, was an unprecedented assault on the seat of
00:01:04.680
American democracy. As described in the indictment, it was fueled by lies. Lies by the defendant,
00:01:13.520
targeted at obstructing a bedrock function of the U.S. government, the nation's process of collecting,
00:01:19.420
counting, and certifying the results of the presidential election.
00:01:26.560
The men and women of law enforcement who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6th are heroes.
00:01:33.460
They are patriots, and they are the very best of us.
00:01:36.980
They did not just defend a building or the people sheltering in it.
00:01:41.040
They put their lives on the line to defend who we are as a country and as a people.
00:01:48.000
They defended the very institutions and principles that define the United States.
00:01:54.440
Since the attack on our Capitol, the Department of Justice has remained committed
00:01:58.260
to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for what happened that day.
00:02:03.420
This case is brought consistent with that commitment, and our investigation of other individuals continues.
00:02:11.940
In this case, my office will seek a speedy trial so that our evidence can be tested in court and judged by a jury of citizens.
00:02:20.380
In the meantime, I must emphasize that the indictment is only an allegation
00:02:26.180
and that the defendant must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
00:02:36.240
I would like to thank the members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation
00:02:39.800
who are working on this investigation with my office,
00:02:43.520
as well as the many career prosecutors and law enforcement agents from around the country
00:02:49.220
who have worked on previous January 6th investigations.
00:02:53.700
These women and men are public servants of the very highest order,
00:03:00.760
President Trump is set to appear in a D.C. courtroom tomorrow
00:03:07.480
The judge presiding over that case is Judge Tanya Chutkin,
00:03:14.660
who has handed down the most severe sentences against January 6th political prisoners.
00:03:26.120
Attorney General Merrick Garland answer for Hunter Biden's not-standard plea deal,
00:03:33.140
The House Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Oversight Committees,
00:03:36.880
all issuing a letter to the unprincipled Attorney General this week
00:03:40.480
demanding answers as to why Hunter Biden was treated differently
00:03:44.760
than every other American in his criminal case.
00:03:48.220
Garland has maintained he played no role in the Hunter Biden case,
00:03:53.480
We know now, after the sworn testimony of two whistleblowers,
00:04:01.920
will the House of Representatives have the courage to do what is right
00:04:05.000
in the face of widespread corruption in the Biden White House and Biden regime?
00:04:15.560
will be talking about the latest whistleblower testimony against the Bidens
00:04:19.560
and how they've retaliated against those whistleblowers.
00:04:23.900
We hope you'll join us for our talk with Congressman Bob Good today.
00:04:28.040
Please join us on The Great America Show each and every weekday.
