That is what is truly frightening. Using tabloid media against his "enemies" - that is the stuff of a tin pot dictator.

Trump was President. He used public servants (admin officials) to try to intimidate two private citizens (Joe and Mika). To stop harassment of children by a tabloid.

Time for someone to go into the White House and arrest this criminal cabal.

I think some may be forgetting that Morning Joe is a conservative program continually working to promote the Republican Party. The Republican Party leadership and Rump's cabinet are so stocked with Koch brothers choices that, if we had a real "designated survivor" incident, the eventual president would almost certainly still be one of their agents.

Joe and Mika don't just relentlessly lie about Democrats and our party. They are, in actuality, working to continue the transfer of our national wealth and power to the ultrarich. And they know it.

Here's Joe's and Mika's fawning interview with the Kochs, helping them restyle their image after they'd been outed to America.

Another reminder, from Esquire: "Unmentioned in the release is the fact that both Brzezinski and Scarborough earlier this year attended a weekend in Palm Springs, California, for the American Recovery Policy Forum, put on by the Kochs' organization, the tax-exempt Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce. The weekend was closed to the public and the media but nevertheless contained many members of the press—including ABC News' Jonathan Karl—who networked with donors, business leaders and other denizens of the Koch kingdom. Also in attendance were presidential candidates Sen. Rand Paul, Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Marco Rubio, who headlined the event with an informal debate around "free markets and the role of government." Neither MSNBC nor the Freedom Partners Chamber of Commerce would answer questions about whether the Koch organization paid the travel or other expenses for the MSNBC hosts. Once the MSNBC duo returned to New York to tape their show, they treated viewers to several days of glowing reports from their trip to Kochland. Brzezinski, the resident liberal to Scarborough's cranky-but-lovable conservative persona, raved for two days about the unappreciated passions of the "awesome" oil magnates as her male co-host nodded beside her."
