He told Jesse Watters that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I know the White House as well anyone. I spent a lot of time there. I know the system. This did not happen without Joe Biden&#8217;s explicit approval. The White House approved of this. Mark my words.

A field office wouldn&#8217;t take &#8230; they wouldn&#8217;t even think of doing this without the sign-off of the President of the United States.

That is, in fact, a serious violation of legal protocol. The Justice Department is supposed to be an independent agency that is run without the interference of political motivations.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Eric, who is bragging about his in depth grasp of how the system works, the Trump White House didn&#8217;t observe any such independence. Which explains Trump repeatedly firing his own attorneys general when they wouldn&#8217;t obey his corrupt orders.<\/p>\n<p>Eric also mentioned that he doesn&#8217;t believe the White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, when she says that President Biden had no prior knowledge of the FBI operation at Mar-a-Lago. Which is precisely how the system is actually supposed to work. But Eric&#8217;s remarks indicate that was not how it worked during the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News is just as ill-informed as Eric Trump. At the daily press briefing on Tuesday, Fox&#8217;s Peter Doocy engaged in the following exchange with Jean-Pierre&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Doocy:<\/strong> Is this administration weaponizing the Justice Department and the FBI against political opponents?<br \/>\n<strong>Jean-Pierre:<\/strong> Peter, the President believes in the rule of law. The President believes in the Department of Justice&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>Doocy (interrupting):<\/strong> That&#8217;s a yes or no.<br \/>\n<strong>Jean-Pierre:<\/strong> It\u2019s a yes or no for you. I\u2019m answering the question. You may not like it, but I\u2019m answering the question&#8230;<br \/>\n<strong>Doocy (interrupting):<\/strong> [unintelligible]<br \/>\n<strong>Jean-Pierre:<\/strong> No&#8230;no. I\u2019m answering the question. And I am telling you we are not going to comment on a criminal investigation. The President has been very clear. I&#8217;ve laid out what his thoughts were back on January 7, 2021, about how he saw the Department of Justice. And I&#8217;m just going to leave it there. We&#8217;re not going to comment from here, from this White House, on a criminal investigation that is currently happening.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Doocy: It\u2019s a yes or no <br \/>KJP: It\u2019s a yes or no for you.

For Doocy to badger Jean-Pierre to improperly blab about ongoing investigations proves that he is unfit for the position of a White House correspondent anywhere in the media. Well, anywhere except for Fox News where knowledge and professionalism are considered character flaws.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54097\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Karine Jean-Pierre Has to School Peter Doocy of Fox News that Lower Gas Prices Are a Good Thing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At least we can be grateful that people like Eric Trump and Peter Doocy so freely demonstrate their ignorance and unfitness for roles in public life.
