Joe “Albino Kid from Deliverance” Scarborough will regret opening up that Pandora’s box.

Suddenly Joe is worried about having his reputation damaged with Trump supporters?!

The Irony runs as deep as the BS with this guy.

That occurs to me too. I don’t know if the general public is aware that Joe Scarborough had a dead girl in his office.

Do Joe and Mika really want to bring great publicity to that case? I do not see enough evidence, from what I know, to suspect Joe of any crime here. However, a certain number of people will assume that Joe was having an affair with the intern, or thinking other disgusting thoughts about what was going on.

So Joe and Mika may just want to let sleeping dogs lie.

Oh please sue... and counter sue. Scarborough hides behind the anathema of being a journalist when in fact his show is punditry. Thus not bound by the freedom of the press clause in the Bill of Rights. Poor Joe can sue but it would be right to counter sued for the same. Besides, the discovery on this one would be intriguing. Joe could argue that he is under the auspice of the First Amendment but Joe’s show has launched a steadfast negative campaign against Trump giving Trump a lot of evidence to show in court that Joe is not a Journalist but a pundit giving opinion rather than objective news.

"Trump only hurts himself by obsessing publicly about this stuff during the coronavirus epidemic and economic downturn."

ROFL! Sounds like FReepers who are concerned.

First, a “desire to see Trump lose” in the next election is not a reason to sue. Otherwise half of the country could sue him.

Second, and I am a lawyer, truth is a defense in these cases, defamation; slander and libel.

The President must know that and would not have said it otherwise, i.e. if he didn’t know it was true.

I am concerned that Demo-rats can get away with murder if they are “part of the Family”.

Normally bodies being found linked to you is a bit of a legal kerfuffle.

defamation? All i heard the President say was that ‘some have brought up the idea that it wasn’t an accident’ or something to that effect- He wasn’t defaming joe- others are the ones who brought it up- the president was just pointing that out

He could be innocent as a babe, but he laughed and laughed about it on a very popular show.

That should stop anything he would do to “defend” himself.

Not good.

No, not unless he wants discovery conducted by Trump’s lawyers, which I seriously doubt.
