What? Joy Reid Wonders Whether Payments to Stormy Daniels, McDougal Were “Bribes”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/17/2018 10:56:00 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

How is it possible for the host of network TV show to be so confused about such a basic legal concept?

On her MSNBC show today, Joy Reid asked MSNBC legal expert Danny Cevallos whether the payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal were “bribes.”

Cevallos managed not to laugh, gently explaining to Reid that “one of the key elements in any bribery case is government involvement. Citizens, regular private folks, can generally bribe each other. It’s a different issue if they’re extorting or blackmailing. That’s illegal. But it’s official conduct, it’s anything of value for some official conduct in return. That’s the critical analysis in any bribery case.”

Joy Reid is the standard for left wing idiot. What would she call the bimbo eruption team if they were Trumps and not Billy Boys’?

She’s paid to be clueless.

In that respect, MSNBC is getting their moneys worth

You do mean that she had a guest on that's outside of her racist, anti-American echo-chamber?

Or that the guest actually knows the law, and its applications?

Her first MSNBC show, “The Reid Report,” did get canceled. But for some time now she’s had a weekend-morning show, “AM Joy.”

Apparently, she’s quite popular on the left, and there’s talk she might be given a prime-time show.

Well, he’s probably a lawyer. Can’t expect the average person to understand the difference between a bribe, a kick back, and hush money can we now? And why DO they INSIST on continuing to call it blackmail?

If an agreement and payment is made through a lawyer it is a “settlement” not a bribe LOL.

In other words, Farrakhan in a skirt! Or perhaps just another affirmative action hire aka, a HN!

a better question would have been, doesn’t this prove that Trump is right, that certain women will throw themselves at a rich guy and when rejected almost always demand monetary compensation for their sluttiness? In the real world we call them fatal attractions.

The really disturbing thought is that there are many lunatics who watch her “show” and who believe what she spews.
