MJ rips into Mark Halperin for being the Trump toadie that he is.

Scarborough ridiculed Halperin for his support of Trump "Trump didn't have a bad day at all", and laid into Comey for leaking the memo. Scarborough countered by saying everyone does that, even Halperin himself ! Halperin countered by saying he was the FBI Director and shouldn't have done it that way.....the pity is that no one jumped on that to say that, in fact, Comey was NO LONGER FBI Director at that stage.

...so pointless. Why does he have this job? Also, the guy Willie - Willie Geist, I think... he mostly sits there and collects a paycheck. He's always pointless. At least the others there this morning seem to serve a purpose.
