Must be nice to easily get away with breaking laws…
Via Daily Caller:
A newly released affidavit confirms probable cause for arrest in former “Meet The Press” anchor David Gregory’s illegal gun possession case.
Gregory illegally held up a high-capacity magazine in a 2012 segment about gun control, violating Washington, D.C.’s stringent gun laws and prompting accusations of unfairness from Second Amendment supporters.
NBC News ignored pre-emptive counsel from D.C. Metropolitan Police, which told the network not to perform the stunt. NBC also shut Gregory off for interviews with police after the televised stunt.
A redacted affidavit obtained by Judicial Watch with the help of the conservative blogger William Jacobson reveals NBC’s communications with the police.
“At approximately 4:05 P.M. [December 21, 2012], NBC News Editor [Name Withheld] emailed the Metropolitan Police Department’s [Information Withheld] and stated the following: ‘Meet the Press is interviewing a person on the show this Sunday in studio – Producers for the show would like have a clip [standard or high power], without the ammunition in studio to use on the show. There will be no gun, no bullets, just clips. Is this legal?,’” according to the affidavit.
