Scarborough: Trump Picked Kavanaugh “to Protect Himself” from Prosecution
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/10/2018 4:07:35 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Sounding like Elizabeth Warren and other Dems with their eyes on 2020, Joe Scarborough is claiming that President Trump chose Brett Kavanaugh as his SCOTUS nominee for the basest of reasons: “to protect himself” from prosecution.

On today’s Morning Joe, referring to a 2009 law review article Kavanaugh wrote in which he suggested that presidents be shielded from civil and criminal litigation while in office, Scarborough said:

“There is no doubt . . . make no mistake of it, this is the reason . . . that’s why he has selected Judge Kavanaugh, because of this, single, 2009 article . . . to protect himself.”

Cowardly Joe picked Mika and MSNBC to protect himself from persecution.

So what if he did? That would just mean Trump is a pretty smart guy, which is not a bad quality in a POTUS.

Since Trump made fun of Mika’s plastic surgery, they will never end this hatred.

Agreed. Real journalists need to be able to shake off personal slights. But Mika and Joe reacted by launching a vendetta.

I guess so, Joe. He doesn’t have the FBI or the DOJ to do it for him.

I truly hope will fall off a curb and get hit by car driven by a drunk illegal alien without a drivers license.

Like you said, but I don't care if the feo vato has a drivers license or not.

Since 1997, the DOJ has written in its handbook that a sitting President cannot be indicted. That would be the Clinton DOJ that issued that opinion.

It’s all about the ratings.......

Joe goes ballistic picturing himself as a gas pump jockey. while Mika’s in the station back room doing what she does best (smirk).

Their ratings improve when they attack Trump. They’ll say whatever is necessary to keep the show going.

Even FR posts help the ratings (groan).

According to the book “Fire and Fury” by Michael Wolff, they used to be good friends with President Trump (before he was president). They (the two creatures) were guests at his home in FL. What accounts for their nastiness now? Who knows?

“”Poor little Mika Boo’s looking so unhappy.””

What is so incredible is their CERTAINTY about the statements they make when it comes to the president...”guarantee”, “take it to the bank”, “it’s true”, “it’s not fiction”, “for sure” blah blah blah...

Left this one out from the thread:

“”make no mistake of it, this is the reason””

A normal human being or two normal humans would have trouble showing their face in public OR ON TV after all their “we are CERTAIN” statements but not them....

Joe Scab-borough can’t even come up with his own original thought on the subject. Has to steal it from another lib.
