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."

The exchange tells you a lot regarding where Democrats heads are regarding national security. They are running a we don’t really care defense....

could not have been done without a nod from Obama.

...or, more likely, Jarrett and Axelrod.

I’m pretty sure they mean “worse” as applied to the damage done or potential damage done to national security, not “worse” as applied to codified violations, as in severity.

Hillary put classified info on a private server that any enemy country could, and probably did, hack into.

Forget hacking...was the information being passed through the Clinton Foundation and sold to the highest bidder?

Is your intended point that there are no conservatives in Memphis?

“And now we know shared it with the clinton foundation crime org!”

Got to wonder how much Sid Vicious got and where and to whom did he spread it around.

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

Nope. The mistress at least had some level of security clearance.

Probably not for the Clinton Crime Family.

Big difference.

Much much worse for the psycho skank.

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!

****************
Correct. Broadwell had a Top Secret clearance IIRC but didn’t have “need to know” nore was “read in” to some of the Special Access Program material that she got her hands on.

Chuck Todd's like CNN’s Candy Crowley - he can fake being ‘objective’ UP UNTIL THE POINT he knows democrats need extra help. Then he jumps with all his biased hateful glory ...

It's similar to the gushy cat lover who has 30 cats dying of starvation in the back bedroom... The "show' part is excessive kindness... the reality - ugly...

Thank you...that's a yuge distinction that is often lost in the conversation.
