Who said by the common definition of the term, Donald Trump raped E....

The question arises after Scarborough, on today's Morning Joe, ripped as "insurrectionists, freaks, and weirdos" Republicans seeking to impeach Joe Biden. Sputtering with outrage, Scarborough twice exclaimed "Oh my God!" at the notion. But Scarborough somehow failed to mention that in 1998, back in his conservative congressman days, Joe voted . . . to impeach Bill Clinton. Cue Dana Carvey's SNL Church Lady: how conve-e-e-nient! So which is it, Joe Scarborough: are you a freak—or a weirdo?Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

When Andrew McCabe, former deputy director of the FBI, was fired in disgrace in 2018, it was commonly assumed it was because of the “Russiagate” investigation. After all, he essentially ran that fiasco, which Special Counsel John Durham definitively noted this week was a baseless farce. But no. McCabe was fired because he serially lied to investigators that he wasn’t leaking investigative information to the media. More telling was what he was lying about: an FBI investigation of foreign efforts to influence a presidential campaign. Not Donald Trump’s campaign. Hillary Clinton’s. It’s just part of the many ways the FBI...

Former President Bill Clinton argues the so-called gun debate can only be solved if some kind of consensus is reached on how to do it. During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Clinton explained how he believed it would be done. However, he called the status quo “not rational.” “One thing that is pretty clear is whatever we do, we need to it more together,” he said. “And I think we need to start talking across this divide.” According to Clinton, those who broke away from long-held beliefs on Second Amendment issues faced consequences.

On this day in 1998, President Bill Clinton settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by making an $850,000 payment. The settlement with Paula Jones, reached without the suit going to trial, heaped fuel on Clinton’s impeachment proceedings by the Republican-controlled House. (He was acquitted in a subsequent Senate trial and completed his term in office.) In the aftermath of the settlement payment, most of which went to Jones’ attorneys, Robert S. Bennett, Clinton’s attorney, maintained that Jones’ claim was baseless, and that Clinton agreed to settle only to end the lawsuit and move on.
