Morning Joe -- they're calling out the Rethugs on this one,

[pnwmom]

saying that this is NOT about leaking, it's about the Russian/Putin connections.

"Republicans, take note" -- they both said, before heaping scorn on the Rethugs reaction to all of this. I didn't expect that they would be speaking so strongly this morning.

They're arguing that the Republicans who say this is just a witch-hunt for Flynn are just circling the wagons and it will hurt them in the next elections.

1. It's safe to talk now that the election is over.

Where were all these bulldog journalists before the election? Sniffing around in Hillary's lingerie drawer looking for phony scandals and troubling "optics" to ensure that she would be cheated out of the presidency.

[pnwmom]

2. I agree. They helped DT to win, but he was just a Trojan Horse

for the Pence presidency.

[lapucelle]

3. I think you're right, but

if Trump is guilty of pre-election illegalities, so is Pence. Pence was an equal beneficiary of election manipulation. He reached his office the same way that Trump did.

[pnwmom]

8. Not unless they can prove he was involved and/or knew about it. n/t

[Raster]

10. No, I think Pence was kept "pure" for a purpose...

...PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY.

4. The interview by Joe of McConnell is hilarious

Joe acts like he's a journalist. He writes bogus opinions for the WaPo, he wears the glasses, and his questions and follow up are softballs.

He just nodded to Turtle's 'very significant voter fraud in Kentucky' and didn't ask him to expound and compare it to 3 million votes in the last election.

Joe is scum.

9. McConnell does taped interview from safe space. This guy is afraid to be on live TV

5. Caught a bit of Morning Joke... what's up with Mika?

Clearly there is some bad blood between Mika and Kellyanne. Mika said she will never have her on the Morning Joke show because she doesn't do "fake news." Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck were they doing during the Presidential campaign, then?

7. Those memories have been erased

The entire show is filled with robots.

6. 2018 is coming....conservatives are hearing the footsteps

and comrade's trumps problems will engulf them the longer they try to coverup this....and govt employees aren't going to stand for the coverup...they swear an oath to uphold the constitution...the Intel community will free america from putin's grasp

[msanthrope]

11. Impeachment manager Joe smells ratings. nt

[mindfulNJ]

12. I don't watch this show

but from what I read here I don't think the two of them have any scruples at all. Seems like they just hold their finger up every morning to see which way the wind is blowing and go with that.

[pnwmom]

13. I almost never do. So I was surprised by the way they were talking. n/t

[mindfulNJ]

14. like rats

jumping a sinking ship
