Joe and Mika Got Married Over the Weekend...and Maybe Broke Federal Law?

"Morning Joe" lovebirds Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski wed last Saturday in a private ceremony at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. They apparently pulled some strings to secure the location. Like, just about breaking federal law.

It was the first time a wedding ceremony had been held in that spot since the building opened in 1935. Brzezinski told Vanity Fair that the couple chose the hallowed American location after attending a previous event there, saying, “It makes sense now more than ever, given what we stand for as a couple, what we do for a living, and what we’re worried about as a country.”

Apparently, the couple wasn’t worried about published federal regulations barring “primarily personal, political or fundraising” events within the National Archives. Federal rule 1280.84 specifically says, “... the use of the Rotunda for private events is not permitted.” And rule 1280.76 says that even permitted, official events “are not available during weekends or federal holidays.” The wedding was held at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, after the Archives building was closed to the public. (Washington City Paper)

Social media users were not impressed that this was another case of "special treatment for the elites."

Apparently rules and regulations are just for normal folks. Is there any surprise the flyover country looks on DC with distaste?— bankshot (@CoolHandLuke124) November 28, 2018

Still, Archives Foundation executive director Patrick Madden said the "Morning Joe" couple convinced the Archives to be a little more flexible on its private event policy.

"We were thrilled to be the venue Scarborough and Brzezinski selected for their wedding," Madden said.

In another interesting twist, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) officiated the ceremony.

Congratulations to Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough! It was a pleasure to officiate your beautiful wedding. I wish you years of love and happiness together!— Elijah E. Cummings (@RepCummings) November 25, 2018

“It makes sense now more than ever, given what we stand for as a couple, what we do for a living, and what we’re worried about as a country.”

1- It makes sense that liars would violate a basic principle of public trust and use an explicitly exclusive site illegally for their nuptials.

2- As a couple they stand for contempt for patriots.

3- They are paid, professional muckrakers, spewing slander against our president.

4- They do not in any imaginable way speak for the country.

Yes, who the H is Patrick Madden, and who does he think he is to give this a wink and a nod approval? Wanting to get his name in the social columns? So unprofessional.

Did they get married where Sandy Burglar Berger took a crap before he stole highly classified govt documents and destroyed some?

No donation to the Archives Foundation from my checkbook.

When Berger got away with multiple federal crimes, and the Archives hierarchy did literally nothing to demand a federal prosecution, I lost a lot of respect for anyone associated with its administration/support.

Now they let two adulterers get married in the Rotunda. What next, Reps. Adam Schiff and Swalwell also going to get married to each other in the same place and have their honeymoon there?

#10. If this is a recent quote by Brachfield, or even an old one, it only reinforces my personal interactions with him as a good professional IG (who may have been ousted because he protested against letting Berger get away with a “nothingburger sentence” for which you or I would go to jail for up to 20 years.

The Clinton Corruption reached very high in the federal government, including AG Janet Reno and the LIUNA case payoff to the Mob.

My guess they are about to get indicted and are using marriage as a tool. These people are sick and evil.
