On Tuesday (Jan. 20), a panel dialogue on CNN’s Newsnight program become a humiliating second for Scott Jennings, who’s an avid supporter of President Donald Trump. Host John Berman had posed the query about whether or not the Division of Justice would face punishment for slow-walking the discharge of information associated to the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
“There may be none,” Jennings replied. “I believe they need to comply with the legislation. I additionally do not know how lengthy it takes to arrange this many paperwork for this sort of launch.” He added, “Counselor could have some ideas on that, however they need to comply with the legislation, however let’s not get our knickers in a twist right here,” earlier than fellow panelist Leigh McCowan interjected.
“Yeah, let’s not get our knickers in a twist over little one rape,” she stated, including a mocking chuckle. Why are you speaking like that?! It’s insane. Prefer it’s insane.The Epstein information are a multinational, multi-generational little one and lady intercourse trafficking ring. So your angle proper now – you’re type of like ‘Nicely, shucks satan begun’ is simply horrifying to me. Each lady on the earth that’s watching this, is you want – why are you performing like you haven’t any thought what’s occurring right here, Scott?”
Jennings sheepishly replied, “He requested me a query about following the legislation, and I stated they need to comply with the legislation.” McCowan fired again, “What I’m saying to you is your angle. Sure, they usually’re not following the legislation. They’re 30 days late on following the legislation, they usually didn’t clarify why they redacted the primary issues within the first place, which they have been additionally alleged to do.”
Jennings, chastened, responded that he understood the place McCowan was coming from and ultimately agreed together with her. However she wasn’t performed. “Every part that’s in these information—it may convey a whole home down. And if it has to, it has to. If it brings down Democrats, convey them down. If it brings down Republicans, convey them down. Carry down princes, world leaders, Hollywood individuals, convey them down.”
