CERTAIN PARTS OF THAT. NAMES AND OTHERS, SO WE WOULDN’T KNOW METHODS, BUT WE HAVE RATE TO SEE IT. HE DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHAT HE CAN AND CANNOT SHOW US. WE OVERSEE THE FBI. AND IF HE THINKS DIFFERENTLY, HE WILL SOON SEE A CONTEMPT CHARGE IN CONGRESS AGAINST THE DIRECTOR.
THERE’S ENOUGH PROBLEMS IN THE FBI AND I AM NOT GOING TO SIT BACK AND ALLOW HIM TO IGNORE THIS. >> Ainsley: JOINING US NOW IS FOX NEWS LEGAL ANALYST GREGG JARRETT. GOOD MORNING, GREG. >> GOOD TO SEE YOU, AINSLEY. >> Ainsley: GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO. YESTERDAY WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS.
WHAT HAPPENED? IS THIS A SLAP ONS WRIST OR CAN CHRISTOPHER WRAY GET ARRESTED. >> THERE ARE TWO CHOICES, CONTEMPT CAN MEAN EITHER CRIMINAL CONTEMPT OR CIVIL CONTEMPT. NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE TERRIBLY GOOD. CRIMINAL CONTEMPT GETS VOTED OUT OF THE COMMITTEE TO THE FULL FLOOR THEY VOTE ON IT AND THEN
IT GETS SENT TO THE U.S. ATTORNEY IN WASHINGTON WHO IS APPOINTED BY JOE BIDEN. AND WHO REPORTS TO MERRICK GARLAND, APPOINTED BY JOE BIDEN. >> Ainsley: WE KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN THERE. >> WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF THE DISPUTED DOCUMENT. , CHRISTOPHER WRAY THE TARGET OF CONTEMPT HE ALSO REPORTS TO BOTH
THE PRESIDENT AND MERRICK GARLAND. GARLAND IS REQUIRED UNDER LAW TO RECUSE HIMSELF. HE WON’T DO IT. SO YOUR OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS CIVIL CONTEMPT, WHICH MEANS YOU FILE A LAWSUIT AND IT GOES TO A FEDERAL JUDGE. IF YOU GET AN IMPARTIAL ONE. THE JUDGE COULD THEN ORDER MR. WRAY, YOU MUST TURN OVER
THIS DOCUMENT. YOU HAVE NO LEGITIMATE BASIS TO WITHHOLD IT. >> Ainsley: WHY WOULDN’T HE WANT TO TURN IT OVER? IT’S NOT — HE COULD STILL REDACT IT. IT’S NOT CLASSIFIED. >> YEAH. EXCELLENT POINT. YOU KNOW, IF HE HAS A CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT IDENTIFIED IN THERE. THERE IS THAT THREATENING CALLED REDACTION.
CAN YOU JUST BLACK IT OUT. LOOK, THERE’S NO BASIS FOR RESISTING THIS UNLESS HE IS HIDING SOMETHING. AND AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES BEFORE, I THINK CHRISTOPHER WRAY AND MERRICK GARLAND ARE BOTH RUNNING A PROTECTION REACT FOR THE BIDEN FAMILY. >> Ainsley: DOESN’T AMERICA DESERVE ANSWERS? >> OF COURSE.
>> Ainsley: IS HE A SITTING PRESIDENT NOW. HE WAS OUR VICE PRESIDENT AT THE TIME. IF THIS IS TRUE. THERE WAS AN EXCHANGE FOR MONEY FOR POLICY WE NEED TO KNOW. >> YEAH. ABSOLUTELY. THAT’S A CRIME. IT’S A VIOLATION OF THE FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT. IT COULD ALSO BE CONSPIRACY.
IT’S ALSO AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE IF IT IS SUPPORTED BY EVIDENCE. AMERICANS DESERVE TO SEE THE EVIDENCE. >> Ainsley: OKAY. LET ME READ YOU THE STATEMENT FROM THE FBI AND THEN WE WILL GET TO YOUR NEW BOOK THE FBI REMAINS COMMITTED TO COOPERATING WITH CONGRESS’ OVERSIGHT REQUEST, RELEASING CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE INFORMATION COULD POTENTIALLY JEOPARDIZE
INVESTIGATIONS AND PUT LIVES AT RISK. MAYBE THAT’S THE KICKER RIGHT THERE. PUTTING LIVES AT RISK. ALL RIGHT. >> SO WE DO HAVE COMER IS COMING ON. CONGRESSMAN JAMES COMER IS COMING ON AT 8:30 THIS MORNING. STAY TUNED FOR THAT INTERVIEW. WE WILL GET INTO IT WITH HIM. LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR
BOOK, “TRIAL OF THE CENTURY.” WE ALL REMEMBER GROWING UP IT WAS CONTROVERSIAL IF YOUR TEACHERS TALKED ABOUT EVOLUTION AND GOES BACK TO 1925. TELL US WHAT THE TOPIC. >> THE BOOK IS CALLED, THERE YOU SEE IT “TRIAL OF THE CENTURY” UP AT THE TOP THE FAMED DEFENSE ATTORNEY CLARENCE DARIO AND HIS
NEMESIS THE GREAT FUNDAMENTAL ITS LEADERBOARD. BRIAN HELPED GET A LAW PASSED THAT MADE IT A CRIME TEACH EVOLUTION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. HE WAS SO HAPPY ABOUT IT HE DECIDED TO PROSECUTE A YOUNG SCHOOL TEACHER BY THE NAME OF JOHN SCOPES. >> Ainsley: A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, RIGHT? >> AND DARRYL SITTING IN CHICAGO
READING ABOUT IT IN THE NEWSPAPER IS SO INCENSED, HE VOLUNTEERS TO DEFEND JOHN SCOPES. THE CLIMATIC. I OBTAINED THE ORIGINAL TRIAL TRANSCRIPT IN THE ARCHIVES OF THE COURTHOUSE IS WHEN DARROW WHO KNOWS IS HE LOSING THE CASE STACKED JURY AND PREJUDICED JUDGE CALLS HIS NEMESIS WOMEN’S JENNINGS BRIAN THE PROSECUTOR TO
THE WITNESS STAND. THE JUDGE SAYS YOU CAN’T DO THAT BRIAN STANDS UP AND SAYS I HAVE NO FEAR. I’M AN EXPERT ON THE BICYCLE. — BIBLE. I WILL ANSWER NO QUESTIONS. IN THE END DARROW DESTROYED BRIAN SO MUCH SO THAT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER HE LAID DOWN FOR A
NAP AND HE NEVER WOKE UP. HE WAS A BROKEN MAN. BUT THE CASE SHIFTED PUBLIC OPINION IN AMERICA. THEY STOPPED BANNING BOOKS ON EVOLUTION. THEY STOPPED CRIMINALIZING THE TEACHING OF DARWIN’S CORNER STONE THEORY. IT’S ALL ABOUT FREE SPEECH, WHICH IS AT RISK ONCE AGAIN TODAY IN AMERICA. BUT CLARENCE DARROW STOOD UP FOR
THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH AND ACADEMIC AUTONOMY CHERISHED RIGHTS. >> Ainsley: WHAT IS SO COOL ABOUT THIS STORY WE WERE TALKING IN THE GREEN ROOM BEFORE YOU WENT TO YOUR DAD’S BOOKCASE AND YOU SAW A BIOON MR. DARROW. CLARENCE DARROW. AND YOU READ IT. YOU READ IT
THREE TIMES HERE ALL YOU WERE YEARS LATER WRITING A BOOK. >> I WAS JUST A TEENAGER AND I SO ADMIRED THIS LIBERAL ICON. IT WASN’T HIS POLITICS THAT DEFINED HIM. IT WAS HIS PRINCIPLES AND HIS VIRTUES AND VALUES AND TURNED THE ANIMATED MIND IT’S WHY I BECAME A LAWYER.
IT CHANGES THE CONTOURS OF MY LIFE. >> Ainsley: OKAY. WELL, WE’RE GLAD IT DID. >> THANK YOU. >> Ainsley: WE BECAME FRIENDS THROUGH IT ALL. >> WE DID, INDEED. >> Ainsley: THE TRIAL OF THE
