Gregg Jarrett: ‘No One—Not Even Trump Critics Like John Bolton—Is Above the Law”

Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett discussed the case of Abrego Garcia, who faces deportation and human smuggling charges. Jarrett explained that while Garcia has limited due process rights as an illegal alien, he does not possess the same constitutional rights as American citizens. ICE reportedly offered Garcia a plea deal that would allow him to serve a sentence and then be deported to Costa Rica with some protection. If he refuses, he risks immediate deportation to a less favorable country, underscoring the leverage authorities hold in these cases.

The conversation then shifted to the controversial FBI raid on former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s home and office. Jarrett noted the irony that many of the same voices who supported the raid on Mar-a-Lago are now denouncing this one as political retribution. Critics argue it validates Bolton’s warnings that Trump would use power for vengeance against his opponents. Some claim the FBI has become politicized, likening it to a “Federal Bureau of Inquisition.”

Jarrett pushed back on the idea that critics of the president should be immune from investigation, insisting that no one is above the law. He argued that if there is credible evidence of wrongdoing—especially involving national security—authorities have a duty to act regardless of the individual’s political stance. In Bolton’s case, a federal judge had already determined there was probable cause to believe evidence of crimes could be found, which Jarrett said justifies the raid.
