Joe Scarborough accuses "the Clintons" of selling missiles to China in 1999

[lapucelle]

and getting caught lying about it. His source? Super sleuth Senator Jim Inhope's over-the-top allegations. (To be fair, Phyllis Schafly also expressed concern, calling for a second impeachment of Clinton, this time for treason.)

Here's how the NYT covered the story in real time.

"The Clinton Administration notified Congress today that it had approved the export of technology to China to permit the launching of a communications satellite aboard a Chinese rocket next month."

Snip-----------------------------------

The certification was the first such notice to Congress under the law, which was passed in the aftermath of a Congressional uproar last year over the transfer of sensitive missile technology to China.

The idiotic Scarborough made his snarky aside on this morning's show and, for good measure, conflated the president and HRC (who was FLOTUS at the time) in the treasonous act.

For some context, he's the wiki biography of the statesman distinguished Mr. Inhofe.

7. I heard him say it on his show this morning but there was no explanation or followup on the show

he said "Clintons sold missiles to China and lied about it. " Mika kind of rolled her eyes, but that was all he said.

8. Maybe Joe was checking to see if Trump was watching his show...

If something comes out fo the Orange doofus's tweet-hole in the next couple of days about the Clintons, China and missiles, then Joe will know that Trump has been watching!

9. Sorry, but that video is not up.

If your cable company provides the service, you can log in to watch the whole show or wait for the MSNBC transcript.

I did locate the clip from this morning's show of Joe telling viewers that Bill Clinton voted for John McCain for president in 2008 (at the 6:00 mark).

Anyone planning to wait for the transcript might want to adopt a more comfortable posture than this for the duration. It generally takes at least 48 hours.
