Viewers must be confused about today's show talking about Conason's new book about Bill Clinton. If you (like me) are one you may now think Conason was lying to protect the Clintons but Google gives us a bit of history (this story has old roots):
http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/apr/28/joe-scarborough/scarborough-says-algeria-donated-clinton-foundatio/
It appears that Scarborough is still sore after the earlier dust up over the donation to the Clinton Foundation by Algeria to "take Algeria off the State Dept's "Terror list."
Algeria was never ON the list in the first place. The donation was for humanitarian relief.
Of course, Conason was gone from the set when Scar started with his "research" and how it proved him right, with bobble head looking smug right next to him.
I hope Scar get holy hell for pulling this fast one!

I double dare Scar to have Conason on the show tomorrow to at least let him explain this>.Shame on you, Joe Scarborough, for framing Conason.
