Joe Scarborough full throated defense of Robert Mueller.

[madaboutharry]

Just turned on Morning joe and was surprised to hear Joe Scarborough attacking republicans for their disgusting treatment of Robert Mueller. He also said that we shouldn't be talking about optics because that has nothing to do with the facts.

He implored democrats to begin an impeachment inquiry.

******

It really makes me so sad that we are focused on the hearing "performance" quality as if it were a new movie or tv series. We are so shallow.

[PA Democrat]

1. He also played clips of the Republicans trying to smear Mueller

and push their crazy conspiracy theories. It was pretty damning. Scarborough called the "stupidity" of Nunes "stunning."

[Ilsa]

2. Most of the republicans were bullies either

directly to Mueller in the hearing or cowardly behind his back. The gop glee is to boost IQ45's ego.

[dem4decades]

3. Joe has a good point, if Trump's behavior doesn't rise to the level of impeachment, what does?

Where is the impeachment inquiry?

[Lucky Luciano]

4. Being a Democrat would become the impeachable offense in the future.

Republicans won’t hesitate to do it either.

[onetexan]

5. I could only sit thru the first 20 mins of the show

One bald guy was saying Dems didnt do anything after Muellers report was released & Barr blatently swayed the american public about it. BS all Dems leaders came out swinging. The MSM was the ppl taking the bait from repugs & barr.

16. Holliman

He is usually pretty good. Not today or yesterday on Nicole.

[Farmer-Rick]

6. The first thing to pop up on a search for RepubliCON reaction to the Mueller hearings

Was the NYT? Some RepubliCON is on their opinion front page. Wow, I did not expect that.

In general the RepubliCONS are attacking Mueller and the Democratic leaders. Typical lies and obstruction.

The Senate will never convict Traitor Trump. They are cowards and wannabe totalitarian dictators. The should leave the country of a democratic government and go find their little Nazi dictatorship heaven somewhere else.

[Perseus]

7. Pelosi, a republican (Joe Scarborough) is asking for impeachment to begin

Did you hear that? Even some republicans agree that impeachment must begin, NOW!

[DaDeacon]

8. Preach!

Time is running out!

[True Blue American]

18. Do not forget

Joe Scarborough was in the front going to interview Monica at her hotel, go
giggling like a boy looking at dirty pictures!

Forgive me if I disagree with him. Not his decision. He and Mika helped elect Trump by letting our friend, Donald call in every day. Until he threatened to expose their affair.

9. people like chuck Todd and Maggie haberman are worse than fox news

[USALiberal]

17. Really? Proof please! Nt

[JI7]

19. they have more credibility with non partisan types so their normalizing of Trump is worse

than Fox news where it's mostly wingnuts who follow that crap.

[USALiberal]

21. Fox news is 1000 times worse! Nt

[JI7]

22. only right wing idiots listen to fox news

people like todd and haberman have influence over those who think fox news is a joke.

10. Democrats wise to follow the facts

instead of create them. One party making up Fake News is enough for one era.

With a solid case either some Senate Republicans will join them, or the public will make their own decision in 2020, or both.

Time it right, into 2020, and you have a tsunami forming.

I trust Speaker Pelosi's pace, judgment, and timing, and surely she has some of the most experienced political minds and consultants in America to help formulate strategy.

Yes, we are shallow, as a society. Bob Mueller is an old man, who has been burdened with a thankless task to which he has excelled for the country. He's tired in the morning? Aren't we all. He's aged a bit? Wouldn't you? But he answered all questions with his co-horts by his side, and did it with the wisdom and experience of his life and times. His inquiry has strengthened the Democratic Committee chairs. It is now their responsibility.

This is it. The Constitution is being tested, the Founding generation foresaw these challenges and gave us flexible tools to meet them. Rule of law is on the chopping block. Without it, without the force of law to support and maintain it, we are cooked.

11. He was tweeting all through the hearing yesterday and

I must say, doing a much better job than Brian Williams and the other pundits.

[ginnyinWI]

13. NBC and NPR were both focused on optics.

And that was not the point!

CBS was better, focusing on substance. I still need to watch my recorded PBS Newshour.

[DeminPennswoods]

15. CNN's coverage was good, too.

I actually watched them during the breaks rather than MSNBC.

[ginnyinWI]

23. PBS newshour was good.

But best comment came from David Kay Johnson on Twitter. He said the GOP made a big mistake ignoring the Russia story. They can be painted as disloyal at very least.

[True Blue American]

20. CSPAN 3.

None of the pundit crap.

[Duppers]

12. Quoted...

Scarborough during Mueller hearing: "Jesus, forgive me for ever being a Republican."

14. Remember how the Rs treated Dole a few years back when he appeared in Congress for

an ADA related event? It was despicable.

[gulliver]

24. Dems need to speak up and get the rest of the media awake and sober.
