JOE DIGENOVA (GUEST): Here's the theme: Welcome to Panama. When you see Joe Biden think, Noriega. These people are thugs running our government. This indictment by Jack Smith and the pretenders at the Justice Department and the FBI is a disgrace to the rule of law. What has happened tonight is an embarrassment to the republic and Jack Smith can shave his beard.
...
This is vengeance, unleashed retributive justice by a Democratic administration that is drunk -- drunk. They're on fentanyl with power. This is disgusting. It's an embarrassment to the history of constitutional government in this country, and everybody who believes and loves the Constitution should be sorrowful, embarrassed, disgraced by the conduct of Merrick Garland, Jack Smith and everybody involved in this process, including Christopher Wray.
...
Think Panama, think banana republic. You are looking at a thug. He is not the president of the United States. He is a thug and Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray are complicit in the thuggery that led to this indictment today. This indictment today is an embarrassment to the rule of law in the United States, and I hope that the American people understand clearly and unequivocally that what happened today is an assault on the Constitution of the United States.
