Morning Joe Meacham Doubts Trump, Unlike Nixon, Will Follow Rule of Law "In the End"
FinkelBlog ^ | MarkFinkelstein

How much does the MSM hate Donald Trump? So much so that it is making a hero of the president that–prior to Trump–the liberal media most loved to hate.

On today’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough and panelist Jon Meacham praised Nixon for complying with a Supreme Court ruling and turning over secretly-recorded tapes, even though Nixon knew that meant the end of his presidency.

In contrast, Meacham darkly surmised:

“I don’t know that we’re with a president now who will follow the rule of law, as even Richard Nixon did, in the end.”

So now Nixon is a hero? The rats will say anything and assume the public is too stupid to figure it out.

I realize this isn’t news but - libtards have totally lost touch with reality. Now they are mentally masturbating to various fantasies about what might or might not happen with President Trump.

Who will be the next Morning Joe roundtable member who will be banned for harassing women?

Nixon’s a piker compared to the surveillance of Trump and his people by Obama, Hilliary, and the DIMS.

An interesting bit of insanity.

Possibly it’s an impeachable offense not to follow the rule of law if he is impeached. Therefore, since it is known he will not follow the rule of law when impeached, he must be impeached now for that likely offense.

The MSM nutjobs preaching such lunacy is one thing, but those that actually believe it scare the hell out of me.

These people are delusional and not even worth commenting about. But I guess that’s plays well with their base.

Similar to their hatred of Christianity causes them to side with Islam.

Let’s see, follow Nixon’s example or Hillary’s example? Turn over the items under court order or just overlook the items sitting on the hallway table? I wonder who has greater respect for the law?

There is no law in McMinn County...

I don’t get the comparison.

What ‘rule of law’ is Pres. Trump supposed to follow? What tapes is POTUS supposed to turn over?
