If Joe Scarborough is right, this could be a game-changing blow to Barack Obama . . .
On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough left no doubt that he believes the Obama administration acquiesed to the release by the British government of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, the convicted Lockberbie murderer and terrorist.

This could get very interesting ping to Today show list.
It makes sense to me but we need some evidence.
Obama weak on terrorism? Shocking!!
This is hugh!
If he can walk away from the Air Force One buzzing of New York City gone on a joyride on a foggy, cloudy, day — walking away from this will be no sweat.
Acquiesed??...I wouldn't be surprised if the Obama administration pressured the British government into releasing his friend (I mean the terrorist).
Agreed. Maybe if the GOP would put pressure on the UK and Scotland to explain itself they would come clean...
hmmmmm....I heard this morning that Chuck Schumer is calling for UN sanctions on the UK. So much for Obama bringing in a new era of international love for our country...LOL. Obama is pissing off our historical allies and appeasing our enemies at every foreign policy juncture.
Joe also said that “death panels” being in the bill was a bald-faced lie.
You have to ask yourself what political angle is Joe Scarborough going for on any given quote. His is a snake-oil salesman and a RINO turncoat.
(Not to put too fine a point on it...)
schumer is trying to curry with his lord!
On what planet would this be a game-changing blow to Obama? Obama could have Osama bin Laden over for a beer, and sit, watch and smile as OBL cross examined CIA interrorgators, then drive his car off a bridge and leave his girlfriend behind to die as he went for ice cream, and his mediawhores would swooooooonn and marvel at his ability to multi-task.
Sadly, even if it emerges as completely proven, it’s not going to change anything in the mind of the American public. People already know he is terrorist-friendly and it doesn’t bother them.
Heck, he made his first televised address after inauguration to “the Muslim world” and not to Americans, and nobody outside of FR even batted an eyelash. Since then he has done nothing but release and protect terrorists, but still nobody cares.
MSNBC may get orders to censor Joe .
“It makes sense to me but we need some evidence.”
Agreed. And where would evidence surface? Investigative reporting?! Ha.
This is a non starter for that reason.
ML/NJ
Who will it be for the release of the Libyan terrorist??
agreed! it is hugh!
Most people on the flight were Americans. It would be logical that the US be asked to concur in the release of the terrorist.
“You have to ask yourself what political angle is Joe Scarborough going for on any given quote. His is a snake-oil salesman and a RINO turncoat.”
Possible.
It’s also possible that Joe takes things issue by issue and makes his conclusion independently. I don’t have a problem with someone with a different point of view, as long as it’s genuine.
Wanna bet?
I think Obama’s signing off on this is about a week old , but good of Joe to bring it up
Joe Scarborough is a showing some real backbone saying what we all know is true.
On yet another score, Mr Obama could not deliver the goods.
Aye, there's the rub. I've watched him for years.
He did not know anything before he knew. It depends on the meaning of the word Know.
It bothers us here on FR. Do you hear anything about it from anybody else?
Colonel fell on his sword, but Bummer had to have known what was taking place!
The parents of one of the Americans killed were on "Fox & Friends" this morning--they had attended the entire trial and were absolutely convinced of Maghrebi's guilt and that the Libyan government was deeply involved (it wasn't some freelance terrorist group). But it would be easy for the MSM to ignore voices like theirs.
and series!
I’ve already heard rumors to this effect. That the UK expected the appeal to exonerate him so Scotland sent him home to pre-empt this.
Follow the handshakes and the bows. Didn’t the community agitator bow to the Saudi king?
“That would be just despicable,” Schumer (D-N.Y.) said. “If it is proven that there was a quid pro quo, even though Britain is our friend, there ought to be some sanctions.”
Part of statement by Scottish Judge Kenny Macaskill below.
“I also spoke to the United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the United States Attorney General, Eric Holder. I met Minister al Obidi and his delegation from the Libyan Government to hear their reasons for applying for transfer, and to present to them the objections that had been raised to their application.
“I have noted and considered all the points presented, and also relevant written representations I received.”

If it was anti-American Bambi signed off on it!
If Obama can get away with releasing terrorists and providing them with waterfront estates in Bermuda, I doubt he is worried about approving the release of one more. It isn’t like MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, NYT, LAT etc. etc. are going to call him on it.
President Reagan was roundly criticized for launching a raid against Qaddafi in 1986. But the president said then “they can run, but they can’t hide.” He was determined to let those who attacked Americans know that we would pursue them to their lairs.
Once, when Libyan jets’ radar locked onto U.S. jets over international waters, Reagan left orders to shoot down any aircraft making aggressive moves against our forces. How far would we pursue Qaddafi’s jets once they’d attacked us, Reagan was asked. “Right into their hangars,” he replied.
I heard of some Bureau guys who went so deep into harm's way during the investigation, they thought they were never going to get back.
A lot of folks went far beyond the call of duty to present a prosecutable case.
If we later find out that this released Libyan was not a sick as reported, a bunch of goodwill is lost within the investigative community.
Obi Wan Nairobi - The oh so wise Kenyan knows best what is good for others.
Don’t expect anyone from the MSM to ask Barry about it in his next presser.
The common thread in Obama's foreign policy is that he is cozying up to those countries that are SOCIALIST, and treating capitalist countries as pariahs. Honduras is the best example of this propensity on his part.
Hah, no one will care. Old news.......blah blah blah
We all knew that O gave his approval.
I forgot series. that too!
And I think Chuckie Schumer is blowing hot air.
