'Can't we sue Fox again?': Outrage as Jesse Watters and Jessica Tarlov clash over arrest of FBI informant Alexander Smirnov on 'The Five'

NEW YORK CITY: In a recent episode of 'The Five', co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Jesse Watters engaged in a fiery exchange over the controversial ranking of presidents, particularly Joe Biden's placement as 14th best, with Trump landing in last place.

Tarlov and Watters sparred over the accountability of prominent political figures, particularly focusing on the contrasting treatment of former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.

Watters launches scathing critique of Biden's transparency and accountability

"You're looking at a mountain of evidence where the guy doesn't even have a business card," remarked Watters, launching into a scathing critique of Biden's perceived lack of transparency and accountability.

Tarlov, on the other hand, seemed poised to challenge this assertion, signaling the beginning of a heated debate.

"The Bidens don't even have a website, and there's diamonds missing, there's tax fraud," continued Watters, highlighting a series of alleged improprieties associated with the Biden family. His words echoed the sentiments of many who have questioned the integrity of the Biden administration.

Watters went on to accuse Biden of cozying up to Russian billionaires and turning a blind eye to potential wrongdoing, alleging, "He's sitting down to dinner with Russian billionaires and then leaving them off the sanctions list."

In contrast, Watters juxtaposed Biden's actions with those of former President Donald Trump, asserting, "Donald Trump, you can see what he does. No one's complaining about Biden ripping people off and then they're getting away with it." 

The conversation took a dramatic turn as Watters brought up the case of the FBI informant, saying, "The FBI informant, that was a total, no, it's not. He's arresting the guy," Watters claimed, insinuating that Biden's administration was actively suppressing dissent.

Tarlov interjected, seeking to provide a counterpoint to Watters' assertions. However, her response was cut short as Watters continued to press his argument.

"Special counsel just came out with it. He's arresting the guy that blew the whistle on him, Jessica, right? Just like they did with the Israeli," he stated, drawing parallels to previous instances where whistleblowers faced legal repercussions.

"How come they don't arrest? I would argue that wasn't respectful," Watters continued, raising questions about the perceived double standards in the treatment of whistleblowers and alleged wrongdoers.

Internet reacts to exchange between Tarlov and Watters

Another voiced, "Jesse. The guy you're talking about is a bald-faced liar, FBI informant or not."
