Last night, I emailed our Legal Insurrection leader Bill Jacobson to say I was counting on Joe Scarborough to have his finest moment this morning in light of the fiasco of the failure of the FBI to recommend the indictment of Hillary Clinton. This morning, Scarborough rose to the occasion. With significant support from Mika Brzezinski, Morning Joe‘s opening segment was one long blast at Hillary — for doing what she did with her email and lying about it — at James Comey — for failing to indict — and at President Obama — for putting his thumb on the...

MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski called on Debbie Wasserman Schultz to step down as chair of the Democratic Party because the Florida congresswoman is blatantly favoring Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. Appearing on “Morning Joe” on Wednesday, Brzezinski said that Sanders treatment by the Democratic Party “has been very poorly handled from the start. It has been unfair and they haven’t taken him seriously, and it starts quite frankly with the person that we just heard speaking. It just does.” Brzezinski’s call for a change of leadership was in response to Wasserman Schultz’s criticism of Sanders from Tuesday night when she said,...

Nick Berg's Dad was just on MSNBC almost in tears in front of his home saying that Bush is on the same level of Zarqawi and that they both are murderers. Saying his thoughts and prayers are with Zarqawi's family as they now have lost a loved one like his family did. No mention of the fact that Zarqawi killed his own son. Said there is no right to take a human life on this Earth...went on about an illegal war...Bush being a mass killer too...etc...blah blah. By the way..for those playing the home version of this game of insanity...

In response to an MSNBC interviewer asking "You have called President Bush a madman, surely Zarqawi was a madman-taking a knife and slitting your sons throat-are you comparing these men on equal terms? Berg-"Yes, Bush is responsible for the deaths of 150,000 of our brothers and sisters, Zarqawi only hundreds" Berg is running for congress.

It's a strange day when news anchors become the news. MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski quietly got a divorce from her husband of 23 years, fueling rumors that she's hooking up with her Morning Joe cohost, Joe Scarborough, despite their on-air disagreements.

Who’s even more powerful than the king? The person who gets to pick the king. And as of this morning that person is, quite possibly, FBI Director James Comey. Today’s Morning Joe reported breaking news from the New York Times: Attorney General Loretta Lynch has decided that she will accept the recommendation of the FBI regarding its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails. If Comey recommends against an indictment of Hillary, that would lift a huge cloud that has been dragging her candidacy down. It would put Hillary in a very strong position to become the next president. But should Comey...

Apparently following up on his Washington Post column earlier this week, the paper's Chris Cillizza appeared on Thursday's Morning Joe show and observed that Hillary Clinton has "large-scale problems on honesty and trustworthines," that "she is the status quo" and "represents the past." Because of that, and despite the conventional wisdom in much of the establishment press that Mrs. Clinton can't possibly lose in November, Cillizza argues that her Republican opponent "can win this race." Cillizza has previously staunchly denied media bias in the coverage of Mrs. Clinton's campign. That's hard to square with what Tim Graham at NewsBusters observed...

Fox News Channel has the best ever "Prime Time Viewer Ratings" this year!!! CNN & MSNBC lag poorly behind. Ever since CNN & MSNBC have become "Clinton Cable New Channels".....FNC had gone bonkers with massively higher viewer ratings....acoss the board on its "Prime Time", lineup of shows!!! I thought TV stations competited for getting the top viewer numbers...I guess not for CNN & MSNBC!!! They like Ms. Clinton better thn their viewers!!! Go Figure!!!

92% favor allowing carrying guns in public. http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/poll-do-you-think-people-should-be-allowed-carry-guns-public

Do you think people should be allowed to carry guns in public? Yes! The Second Amendment guarantees it. No, it's too dangerous. Only for self defense.

Go ahead, Hillary: make our day . . . In the wake of Elizabeth Warren’s joint appearance with Clinton in Ohio yesterday, today’s Morning Joe panel went gaga pver Warren, promoting her for Hillary’s VP pick. Joe Scarborough proclaimed that Warren “is Led Zeppelin” for the way she fills a stage. Mika Brzezinksi, long a big Warren booster, suggested that because Hillary wants to win, she will put Warren on the ticket. Scarborough went so far as to declare that any Hillary VP pick other than Warren would “look like a dud.” View the video here.

With all the zeal of a Joey-come-lately, gun-control convert Joe Scarborough clashed on today’s Morning Joe with Second Amendment defender Tom Cole, Republican congressman from Oklahoma. When Scarborough lectured Cole about terrorists “who want to kill people in your district,” Cole shot back “Joe, I know something about terrorism. I lived through an incident in Oklahoma City.” And when Scarborough patronizingly instructed Cole to “read the Constitution,” Cole retorted “I think I’ve read the Constitution as often as you have.” Mike Barnicle waited until after the interview to take a cheap shot at Cole, claiming that he is “handcuffed to...

MSNBC host Steve Kornacki discusses the latest 2016 election polls showing Clinton and Trump in a dead heat in several key battleground states with the hosts of NBC's Today Show: "It’s amazing," Kornacki said. "If you take the 2012 electoral map: Obama versus Romney, and kept it the same... If you can flip Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida, you’re the next president. For all of the trouble [Trump has] had, you’ve got them dead even in Ohio and Pennsylvania. [Polls showing him down in] Florida is bad news for him." "[We just saw several] great weeks for Hillary Clinton, terrible weeks...

MSNBC: Attorney General Loretta Lynch Stumped About Orlando Terrorists Motive… Posted on June 21, 2016 by sundance According to MSNBC U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch can’t seem to figure out the motive of the Orlando terrorist, Omar Mateen. Puzzled they are, stumped even. They just can’t quite figure it out. Motive? Maybe a Youtube Video… or something.

MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews stated that he doesn’t get Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy with regards to the Iraq War, Libya, and Syria on Tuesday.

Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen made two trips to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012, MSNBC reported Monday, citing federal officials.

An email sent anonymously to the city council suggested Mayor Lindsey Horvath had a secret abortion. WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA -- Hours after Mayor Lindsey Horvath published a letter denouncing Donald Trump and telling him he wasn't welcome in her town, emails with computer links to graphic abortions were sent to the entire West Hollywood City Council along with a message that suggested she once had a secret abortion. The email was sent Monday and came with the subject line: "Are These Undercover Videos of Linsey P. Horvath's Secret Abortion? Watch dismemberment & decapitation of unborn baby." Horvath said the sender...

MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid reacts to the Orlando gay nightclub massacre on Sunday's Meet the Press, calling the "core issue" not "international terror," but "how easy it is to get a gun."

NBC law enforcement expert Jim Cavanaugh appeared on MSNBC Sunday morning to analyze the massacre of 20 people and at least 42 injured at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida on Saturday night. Pulse Nightclub is one of the most popular gay clubs in the city and at least 320 people were inside at the time of the attack. The Daily Mail has reported the shooter was an Islamic extremist committing a terror attack. The attacker wore a suicide vest and was killed in a shootout with police.

Cenk Uygur, host of 'The Young Turks,' discusses the results of an unscientific (but large) poll of his audience showing that about 80% of his mostly-Sanders-supporting audience would NEVER vote for Hillary Clinton. "I don't want to speak for you guys," Uygur said of his audience -- the largest single online news show on YouTube -- "It was not a small amount of people voting. Over 20,000 votes on our app and @YouTube - over 80% of our audience saying they'd never vote for Hillary. I'm shocked by that result.
