The interview took place on August 9, but I only just now
came across it. Michael W. Chapman at CNS News reports on Victor Davis Hanson take on the Mar-a-Lago raid:
When asked about the FBI raid on
former President Donald Trump's home in Palm Beach, Fla., professor, author,
and political commentator Victor David Hanson said, "right now, we don't
have the rule of law in Washington," and added that, "The FBI is
beyond redemption."
Hanson, who was awarded the
National Humanities Medal by President George W. Bush, made his remarks on the
Aug. 9 edition of FNC's Tucker Carlson
Tonight, guest-hosted by Will Cain.
Cain asked Hanson why the FBI
raided Mar-a-Lago and why were they targeting Trump.
"Well, they're afraid in the
short term," he said, in reference to the Democrats and the left,
"but in the long term they believe they're morally superior to America,
and therefore any means necessary or justifiable for their morally superior
ends."
"And right now, we don't have
the rule of law in Washington," said Hanson. "Whether you're targeted
or exempt depends on your ideology."
. . .
As for the FBI, Hanson remarked,
"I never thought I would say this: The FBI is beyond redemption.
It is -- all of its bureaus and its institutions that have to be farmed out and
broken up. If you have a warrant, an FBI warrant, there is no
guarantee that that has not been altered. If you subpoena and you
want FBI records on phones ... they will be wiped clean."
"We just saw [FBI Director]
Christopher Wray and he just stonewalled every question and then he flew on
an FBI plane, our plane, a luxury jet because he had to go to his own
vacation spot. He took over, remember, from Andrew McCabe -- what did he do? He
lied four times to federal investigators, and his wife was running for an
office with Clinton-related PAC money while he was investigating Hillary
Clinton's e-mail scandal."
