Fox Analyst Gregg Jarrett: SDNY Prosecutors Are ‘Morons’ Trying to ‘Implicate’ Trump in Crimes

Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett called the team of prosecutors from the Southern District of New York “morons” for a document that he claims “contorts the law in a deliberate effort to implicate the President in wrongdoing.”

Jarrett — who has previously compared special counsel Robert Mueller to the “KGB” for his investigation into President Donald Trump — took aim at the prosecutors over Michael Cohen‘s sentencing memo, which accuses the president of directing his former lawyer to illegally pay off women using campaign funds.

The Fox News analyst called the SDNY prosecutors “kids” and “morons” with “no real experience.”

Look at the four attorneys who signed the Cohen sentencing memo under Robert Khuzami’s name. Griswold, Maimin, McKay and Roos. They’re all kids. No real experience. They don’t know anything about the law. They don’t understand the Federal Campaign Election Act.

Frankly, it should be against the law to allow a bunch of snot-nosed kids, fresh out of law school, to file a federal court document that contorts the law in a deliberate effort to implicate the President in wrongdoing. Did they even read the law? Comprehend it? Morons.

Jarrett’s attacks on the federal prosectors drew fire and mockery from other legal analysts on Twitter.

“You have no idea what you’re talking about,” replied CNN legal analyst Renato Mariotti. “Rob Khazami has accomplished far more than most lawyers in his storied career. And the U.S. Probation Department agreed with him.”

“Either you’re ignorant, are deliberately misleading the public, or both,” Mariotti added.
