Fox Host Abruptly Ends Interview After Lawyers Correctly Accused her of Pushing Misinformation – Video

This is exactly what we expect from the Fox!

In an interview that aired on Saturday, Fox Host Jeanine Pirro  interviewed the lawyers of one of the witnesses to the Michael Brown murder. The obvious attempt by Fox News was to paint the witness, Dorian Johnson, as a liar. But the Fox host began the interview with a lie, claiming that the autopsy disputes any possibility that Michael Brown was shot in the back.

The lawyer, Freeman Bosley Jr. began his answer by informing Pirro that the autopsy report conducted by Dr. Baden supports his client’s eyewitness report.

“The autopsy report for the most part confirms that. The autopsy report conducted by Dr. Baden basically states that there were six shots fired, one of them did hit Mike in the arm, they’re not quite sure whether it was from the back or from the front. So that’s consistent with what my client said. Now he did say that he thought Mike Brown was shot in the back but it shows that he was shot in the arm.”

Of course, the lawyer was correct, so the Fox host cuts him off. But for the record, Dr. Baden did say that the bullet wound in Mike Brown’s forearm could have been fired from the back, or behind Mike Brown, but this fact was totally ignored by the Fox people as Pirro continued insisting that Baden said “all six shots were fired from the front,” a blatant lie!

But the lawyers were strong in their beliefs and what the facts, and they were not going to the deterred by Fox’s misinformation. In fact, they called out the host for feeding into the misinformation and that was when all hell broke loose!

“You know, there was a lot of misinformation that was put out there that might have fired up people for no reason,” the Fox host said, probably realizing that she was guilty of feeding misinformation to her audience.

“Yeah, it’s misinformation, and you shouldn’t be running with that,” Bosley replied. “Because if you take another look at the autopsy report, it shows that one of those shots could have been from the back.”

Another lawyer for Dorian, James Williams, added his input that there were indeed “lots of misinformation, a lot of attempts to distract from the truth.”

“The truth here is that these two unarmed young men were running down the street away from a police officer, when he chased them and gunned them down. He didn’t try to apprehend them without using deadly force. They were doing nothing other than walking in the middle of the street.”

All this distraction about whether or not he was shot in the back or the back of the arm is of no moment. But it consistent with Dorian Johnson’s testimony.”

“We can’t both talk at the same time.” Pirro said, after a few failed attempts to continue her misinformation campaign. “I’m asking the questions. Mr. Wilson, if you don’t want to listen to the question then there’s no point in continuing with this conversation.”

The mic and the camera for the lawyers were cut and Pirro brought in her next guest.

Chris Christie’s BridgeGate Lawyer Withdrew as Counsel for Port Authority

In an unexpected move, the lawyer for Gov. Chris Christie’s office in the George Washington Bridge scandal withdrew this week as counsel to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in an ongoing federal lawsuit, setting off speculation about what it means and why he did it.

Randy Mastro, a head litigation partner of the law firm of Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, represents the governor’s office in the bridge scandal and other controversies tied to Hurricane Sandy aid. At the same time, he had served for more than a year as a lead attorney for the Port Authority in a federal lawsuit focused on controversial toll hikes.

Christie hired Mastro in January after the disclosure of emails showing that a Christie aide allegedly orchestrated a four-day closure of two local-access lanes to the bridge, causing massive traffic jams in Fort Lee. Many suspect the closures were retaliation after the borough’s Democratic mayor didn’t endorse the Republican governor for re-election.

In recent weeks, some attorneys and legal observers had expressed concern about Mastro’s dual role, especially because Mastro’s duties for Christie include his firm assisting with an internal review of the governor’s office’s actions, including events tied to the Port Authority.

On Wednesday, Mastro quietly withdrew as counsel to the Port Authority in the ongoing lawsuit brought in federal court in Manhattan by the New York and North Jersey chapters of the AAA. The suit aims to block toll increases at six bistate bridges and tunnels, contending that the Port Authority violated federal law by imposing toll hikes as part of a plan to finance certain capital projects unrelated to transportation.

Mastro declined comment Friday. In mid-January, he told the Wall Street Journal through a spokesperson that there was no conflict of interest in his “firm’s separate representation of the Port Authority and the governor’s office in these separate matters.”

Mitt Romney – Who Needs Congress? My Lawyers Will Advise Me On Declaring War

The clip below features the cast of Republican candidates trying to get their party’s nomination to take on then candidate, Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential elections.

In the clip, moderator Chris Matthews asked Mitt Romney a question – who will you consult before sending our troops into war? This should have been easy one for Mitt. The Constitution already answered this question – Congress is the body of Government authorized to declare war. But when asked, Mitt Romney replied that his lawyers would make that decision.

This is not a joke people, this man could be the next president of the United States.
