As many of you know, Gregg Jarrett is Sean Hannity's GO-TO GUY when it comes to legal stuff on his show. For years Hannity would start his show with an "opening monologue" about why Hillary Clinton should be locked up. Then he'd bring on "Lawyer" Gregg Jarrett to spout some random numbers which were, supposedly, the numbers of laws Clinton had broken. Hannity's audience would eat it up as 'fact.'
These days, Hannity uses his opening monologue to claim that EVERYBODY IN THE FBI, and EVERYBODY IN THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT should be locked up. Jarrett then comes on and spouts some more random numbers to bolster Hannity's assertions. He also wrote a 'best seller' book, recently, called 'The Russia Hoax,' which Hannity plugs on his show every night.
Well, Jarrett knows a lot about being locked up. Here's an old video from 2014 of him getting arrested for being drunk and disorderly in MinneapolisSaint Paul International Airport. Watch as he calls the cop who's arresting him a "stupid fucking ass," and then try to shove another cop, while saying "you're gonna be...." He quickly found out that he was no longer on the Hannity show.

(5,954 posts)So, Jarrett: drunk and disorderly,
Gorka: wanted in Hungary on a warrant for illegal possession of a firearm.
Cohen: already in the klink. Hopefully he'll spill the beans on Hannity himself, and how he A) advised Trump to obstruct justice by firing Comey, and B) laundered millions for Russian gangsters through real estate. Let's get Hannity into that orange jump suit!

(5,954 posts)...but when he poked the second cop in the chest, and began to threaten him, they took him down. I don't agree, by the way, that that's a reason to take somebody down and cuff them. But that's what cops do. If he'd been a black teen in a hoodie, instead of a middle aged white guy in a golf shirt, I think they'd probably have gone a lot faster than just twisting his arm and cuffing him.
