Here now is the author of the soon-to-be-released sequel to his number one best seller, "Witch Hunt", FOX News legal analyst, Gregg Jarrett, Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz.
You were in the hearings yesterday with Corey Lewandowski. I'm watching Corey Lewandowski and even Democrats are today expressing their frustration, get owned by Corey Lewandowski.
What page is that, Congressman? What page? Can you please refer to the page, the paragraph, where is that, sir, so I can recall exactly what it is you're talking about?
REP. MATT GAETZ, R-FLA.: Corey Lewandowski was very precise, and House Democrats looked exactly like a dog that had chased a car and then caught it and then did not know what to do about it.
Now, Sean, we know the radical left says terrible things about you and about me, but you should hear the things they are saying at one another.
HANNITY: Especially me, you've 30 years to catch up.
GAETZ: There you go. Behind closed doors, we are seeing a true fissure on the Democratic Party. You've got moderate Democrats like Jared Huffman of New Jersey saying that it's a crazy idea to bring Corey Lewandowski forward, acknowledging that he whooped the Democrats.
And even Anthony Brindisi, a New York Democrat, saying, look, if you're just a regular American, you are wondering how your insulin is going to get paid for, if you watch what the liberal Democrat mob is doing in Washington, D.C., it is demoralizing to regular Americans who just want to see the government working for them.
I think this division among Democrats shows that they have a losing strategy and it is existent with all of the polling that says that the American people want us focused on immigration, border security, the key issues and not a phony impeachment that is free of facts.

Do you have faith that they can literally charge their own? Because that's the big question, Congressman?
GAETZ: I've met -- I've met with the attorney general, and I have every confidence that he is going to faithfully apply the law. We've got serious frauds on the FISA court that I think we're going to be learning more about in the coming days.
The real wild card, Sean, is will a grand jury inside the swamp of D.C. actually indict these people?
HANNITY: Great point.
GAETZ: I mean, frankly, why is it that when government officials that are supposed to be serving all Americans are accused of crimes --
HANNITY: All right.
GAETZ: -- that they get home venue in Washington, D.C. I feel like we ought to have these things venued like out in real America, not in the beltway of Washington.
