Ignorant legal commentary and gloating over Trump’s reported indictment was the theme Friday on ABC’s The View as the clucking hens who make up the cast made sure to let their audience know how immature and vindictive they were.
After setting their audience up to believe the coven was about to discuss the indictment of Trump, a soundbite of the jury in the Gwyneth Paltrow case was aired. That got a laugh from the suburban liberal wine moms in the audience.
“In other legal news,” co-host Joy Behar announced before gloating how “the twice impeached, one term, once indicted, but who's counting? Former President is reportedly facing more than 30 count them—criminal charges.”

Racist Sunny Hostin butted in to claim she “called it” and gestured the clapping seals in the audience to applaud her. “We feel good” Ana Navarro admitted.
“I said he would be held criminally responsible because no one is above the law. He would be, at the very least, charged,” Hostin proclaimed.
The bigoted co-host went on to claim Trump “not only has the New York case, has the Georgia case, he has the Department of Justice case. There are two or three of them there. You cannot commit so many crimes and think that you are above the law even if you are the President.”
Hostin went on to make the obvious point that Trump cannot pardon himself if he’s convicted at the state level since presidential pardons only cover federal-level crimes.
This was news to Behar who expressed her ignorance: “Oh is that so? If it was a federal crime, he could pardon himself?”
From there, Hostin displayed her ignorance when she claimed without evidence her belief that Trump “has a pocket pardon somewhere in some safe somewhere.”
Butting in once again to showcase her chronic hatred of the former President, Navarro said she wanted to “thank this special grand jury” because they are “regular New Yorkers” and “not people with a political agenda.”
Getting in another juvenile shot at Trump, she shouted that he “finally won a popular vote yesterday. The Grand Jury voted to indict him!”
The nasty political attacks didn’t stop with Trump himself, Navarro even dragged the grandchildren into the controversy.
“They now can give their children the distinction of having matching mug shots for both of their grandfathers. You can pick whether you want Charlie Kushner or Donald Trump mug shots if you are Jared and Ivanka's child,” Navarro shrieked.

11:02:46 a.m. EasternJOY BEHAR: And in other legal news and to quote the great Sunny Hostin, the twice impeaced—I can't even speak.
SUNNY HOSTIN: The twice impeached.
BEHAR: The twice impeached, one term, once indicted, but who's counting? Former President is reportedly facing more than 30 count them—criminal charges. So, how do we feel about this unprecedented moment in American history?
HOSTIN: I called it.
BEHAR: Did you?
ANA NAVARRO: We feel good!
BEHAR: Begging for applause.
HOSTIN: I said he would be held criminally responsible because no one is above the law. He would be, at the very least, charged. He not only has the New York case, has the Georgia case, he has the Department of Justice case. There are two or three of them there. You cannot commit so many crimes and think that you are above the law even if you are the President.

HOSTIN: And I think what’s wonderful in my opinion as a former federal prosecutor, is that a President cannot pardon himself from state crimes.
BEHAR: Oh is that so? If it was a federal crime, he could pardon himself?
HOSTIN: Yeah and I think he has a pocket pardon somewhere in some safe somewhere. I do. I believe that about him.
NAVARRO: Listen, the first thing I want to do is I want to thank this special Grand Jury. Because they have been meeting for weeks and weeks. They've done this incredibly seriously. This is not an easy case. This is a case that has risks. And so I thank them. Because these are regular New Yorkers. These are not people with a political agenda. These are regular New Yorkers.
Donald Trump finally won a popular vote yesterday. The Grand Jury voted to indict him! You know I was thinking last night. Boy because I was reading this article where Ivanka and Jared apparently want to start their new life in Miami. And I was thinking you know, they now can give their children the distinction of having matching mug shots for both of their grandfathers. You can pick whether you want Charlie Kushner or Donald Trump mug shots if you are Jared and Ivanka's child.

NAVARRO: I will tell you who tweeted something yesterday, which is one of the former Central Park Five, now the exonerated five, Yusuf Abdus Salaam. For those asking about my statement on the indictment of Donald Trump -- who never said sorry for calling for my execution - here it is: Karma.
