has never been fully investigated and Joe is smack dab in the middle of her mysterious demise. He had the good sense to leave congress in the wake of that scandal.

That implications surrounding that incident was a far cry above a witch hunt about an e-mail server.

There is little to distinguish them from Fox News now. A few minutes ago, Joe tried to imply that Hillary Clinton had lied to a grand jury and gotten away with it. If pressed, he will claim that he was talking about Bill Clinton, but he won't be pressed by anyone on his show and nothing that he can say justifies trying to tar Hillary with something that he believes her husband did.

Presumably, everything that they are saying is based upon the FBI Director stated earlier. If he's credible, then why are they rejecting his opinion that this does not involve criminal activity?

In my view, they have become nothing more than a right wing Heckle and Jeckle cartoon. They believe that they are going to wind up with greater credibility than their competitors, but they are just proving themselves to be political hacks.

By the way, have they come clean with the public about their own bedroom activities yet?

There is only one reason why anyone would make that pitch and that is to preserve the chances of Trump, who was always one of Joe-Mika's favorite guests. When he quit showing up, they had to turn to Giuliani. I can't watch anyone who carries water for Trump and I can't watch anyone who would put Giuliani on TV.

Joe-Mika is a public menace.

I don't have the stomach to listen to Mika describe how "alarmed" she has become. And, they've announced that they are bringing in Rudy Giuliani to back them up. Rudy Giuliani! Even Fox News can barely stomach him.

I'm watching CNN now.
