CNN Anchor Shoots Down Trump Fans in Fracas Over Indictment Spree: That Was an Order'

"CNN anchor Abby Phillip shut down Trump supporters over President Donald Trump directing his Justice Department to indict specific individuals, shooting down claims made in Trump's defense. Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) was the third person named on that list and has yet to be indicted but he is protected by a pardon from then-President Joe Biden. On Monday's edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip hosted a panel comprised of Scott Jennings, Cornell West, Caroline Downey, Adam Mockler, and Josh Rogin."

"MOCKLER: Are you telling me that you're okay with Donald Trump asking Pam Bondi directly it was supposed to be a D.M., and he accidentally posted it. Don't just come on that. JENNINGS: All presidents appoint their supporters and the people who support their agenda. MOCKLER: Do they ask their supporters to indict three people and two of those (CROSSTALKS) JENNINGS: They're members of Congress in their party to pass their agenda."

"JENNINGS: Whether if you have the party of your if your party is in charge in Congress, they look to the president to set the agenda for the party. After all in the elections, people who turn out to vote are typically voting. MOCKLER: So, Biden never recognized his DOJ, and that's what you're saying? Biden never asked JENNINGS: No, he absolutely did."

Abby Phillip confronted panelists who defended President Trump's directive urging the Justice Department to indict named individuals. Sen. Adam Schiff was the third person named and has not been indicted, and the segment noted a claim that he is protected by a pardon from then-President Joe Biden. Panel members Scott Jennings, Cornell West, Caroline Downey, Adam Mockler, and Josh Rogin debated whether Trump's conduct was unprecedented and whether Biden engaged in comparable actions. Panelists argued that presidents appoint supporters and set party agendas, while others cited a parental rights memo and lawfare. Heated exchanges focused on whether Biden directly asked Merrick Garland to act and on the uniqueness of Trump's DM to Pam Bondi.
