Jarrett defends Trump Jr.: "Even conspiring to subvert the government doesn't rise to the level of treason"
Video @ link~
From the July 11 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:
GREGG JARRETT: It's a nothing burger, and yet CNN right now, as I look up on the screen, is calling it a bombshell. You know, every time Trump sneezes, they call it a bombshell.
Look, even if Donald Trump Jr. had acted on information provided by the Russian lawyer, that still doesn't constitute a crime.
Even conspiring to subvert the government doesn't rise to the level of treason.
You know, under our Constitution, Americans are permitted to speak against the government, undermine political opponents, support harmful policies, even place the interests of another nation ahead of those of the U.S.
Now, none of those things are happening here. Having a meeting with a Russian official is not a crime.
Previously:
Fox's Gregg Jarrett: "You can collude all you want with a foreign government in an election"
Trump Jr. to Hannity in June 2016: "There's zero statistical probability that you can have that much controversy ... and there not be any fire"
Fox's chief intelligence correspondent edited out mention of Russian government when quoting Trump Jr. emails

Is this the same tune Fox and Jarrett were singing last year when they were all losing their collective minds about the Clinton Foundation and allegations (but no proof) that the Clinton campaign was getting material assistance from foreign governments?

He's speaking directly to the members of a cult. They probably amuse themselves by seeing who can make the most outrageous claim on any given day, knowing that the cult will eat it up.
