Scarborough Defends Judge for Suggesting Michael Flynn Committed 'Treason'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/19/2018 7:57:04 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On Tuesday, we surmised that Joe Scarborough had gone "all in" with the Democrats. Scratch that. Scarborough has now placed himself even to the left of many lefties.

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough defended Judge Emmet Sullivan's outburst yesterday at Michael Flynn's sentencing hearing. This, while many liberals, like Dan Abrams, and even the young lefties over at Vox, have criticized the judge.

[snip]

Scarborough then proceeded to claim that Sullivan's mistake on the timing of Flynn's work as a foreign agent was "a distinction without a difference." This despite the fact that Sullivan himself later said that he "felt terrible" about having said it!

Dismissing Sullivan's intemperate accusation of treason, Scarborough said:

"Federal judges--I'm sorry . . . that's just what federal judges do. If they're angry, they come in and they shake people up [giving examples]: 'hey why didn't you guys figure out?' -- uh, treason!'

Even though the judge did not defend his own comments...

Q. How do you know that Scarborough has truly lost it in his hateful obsession with President Trump?

A. When he defends the judge who accused Flynn of treason, even when liberals are criticizing him.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Sullivan is in over his head. The pressure against him from the Left must be overwhelming.

In all of the left wing media, are there any crazier Pinkos than the mad menagerie at MSNBC?

Good old Joe.

Always ready to give a female intern a shove to get her going in the right direction.

Sometimes I wonder that if the Doctor told me I only had a short time to live, that maybe I would PERMANENTLY remove some a$$holes as my parting gift.

This guy strikes me as being on a perennial dry drunk. I’m quite sure he and his lover are boozers.

Right, and the judge even said that he “felt terrible” about falsely accusing Flynn of working as a foreign agent after becoming National Security Adviser.

Good Lord.

My criteria for determining who is a DemoKKKrat:

If you're in favor of Leftists appointing Leftists to the Federal bench, in order to have a handful of Leftist Federal judge-presidents running the country from the replica Oval Offices in their judge's chambers - then you're a DemoKKKrat.

Yep. He gave them sound bites, and then took it back.

But the sound bites are still out there.

I can’t figure out why any Advertisers would waste their money on a program like this that nobody watches.

IMO anyone who does not understand the threshold for charging treason as laid out in the Constitution does not need to be on the bench.

It’s hard to believe, but Morning Joe actually averages over 1 million daily viewers.

Joe Scarborough is even dumber then I thought since Judge back tracked on what he said...Judge corrected his Treason statement

This whole thing is like listening to a teenager telling you “what happened”. It makes no sense. And that means they are lying.

Something really weird is going on with this whole thing. It makes no sense.

That one million daily is about one third of what Fox and Friends averages. That in itself ought to be reason for cancellation.
