Joe Scarborough: Trump and Everybody Around Him Lied About Their Support of Russia

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “And if you could put the David Rothkopf tweet up again, and again, I'm just a poor country lawyer so I'm not talking about the legal side of this. I’m saying, be that as it may, even if we end up reading the report and finding out that this wasn’t even a close call on conspiracy, I’m wondering, Mika, what voters in Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania and Ohio and Florida are going to want a president who publicly welcomed the support of an enemy, one with whom he had hidden financial ties, and then that enemy worked to help him get elected during the 2016 campaign, and then Donald Trump rewarded our enemy with a defense of their attacks on our democracy by saying that he trusted an ex-KGB agent more than he trusted the FBI director or his own Homeland Security Secretary, and then he rewarded them with policy benefits no American president had ever offered before. I’m not going over here, Mika, old news. This is not about the Mueller report. This is just about what we know to be true. And when people are running around a TV saying, 'He was vindicated, there was nothing there,' forget the fact that Donald Trump and everybody around him lied about their support of Russia, their connections with Russia, I’m just saying we’re taking it from the legal now just straight to the political. I mean, how many people in swing states are going to look at those facts, which are not in dispute, and go, 'Oh, yes, that’s who I want as my commander-in-chief, somebody that, you know, provides aid and comfort to the enemy politically.'”
