Morning Joe Food-fight as Chuck Todd Claims Petraeus' Email Abuse 'Worse' Than Hillary's
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/21/2016 5:24:33 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Hillary Clinton's defense lawyers made a stunning appearance on today's Morning Joe, asserting that David Petraeus' mishandling of his emails was "worse" than what Hillary did, and arguing that she should not be charged. Oh, wait: those weren't Hillary's lawyers: they were NBC's Chuck Todd, and politician-turned-professor Harold Ford, Jr.

Can anyone recall this level of naked partisan advocacy by an MTP host? And when Ford would not stop telling Joe Scarborough that he "had" to agree with Todd, Scarborough eventually snapped at Ford "you're a gd lawyer."

Chuck Todd’s disgraceful advocacy on Hillary’s behalf.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Ford Jr. was meant to be a Conservative, but something went wrong and it pretty well much condemned him to Democrat servitude.

Petraeus let his mistress see some classified info. Bad. Hillary put classified info on a private server that any enemy country could, and probably did, hack into. Petraeus is worse?

New narrative alert. Now we know why they re going back after Petraeus. It's all about knowingly now. This should put to rest any notion that Obama is trying to sabotage Hillary s chances. Dredging up the settled case of Petraeus could not have been done without a nod from Obama.

Find a name at the org who received it, and you have HC’s equivalent to the mistress.

Last I checked, David Petraeus isn’t running for POTUS either.

Petraeus shared classified with his mistress......what is never mentioned is that Paula Broadwell had some level of security clearance herself. How embarrassing for Todd, that he is so blatant in his partisanship!

Petraeus is worse?

Petraeus is not running for President of the United States.

The Clintons opened the gates for cash.

I’m sorry, but mishandling classified information is a serious issue. There is no qualification of better or worse, either you did or you didn’t.

I don’t know what it’s going to take for that has-been Ford to wear out his welcome. He’s getting quite tiresome.

So? Where were Condoleeza Rice or Ben Carson from?

I remember I was suitably impressed with Harold Ford Jr. in the late 90’s to think: That man is a conservative in denial.

You don’t know his family. The worst of dems. He is a good, polished liar.
