Trump documents indictment

On Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough indicates that the real "witch hunt" is against Hunter and Joe Biden. Scarborough misrepresents what Sen. Chuck Grassley and the Wall Street Journal editorial board have said, suggesting that they admit there's no real evidence of wrongdoing. 

UPDATE: Over 26 days (June 8- morning of July 5) the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) broadcast networks crammed their evening, morning and Sunday roundtable shows with a total of 522 minutes of coverage dedicated to the Trump indictment.

Yet another testy exchange transpired on the PBS NewsHour between reporters and Republicans. Host Amna Nawaz and new Republican presidential candidate, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, got into it on Friday evening. Nawaz was greatly troubled that Suarez offered a hypothetical response to a Trump conviction, if Suarez somehow became President of the United States.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace often hosts overtly political former Justice Department officials on her weekday Trump-centric show. On Monday, the Deadline: White House guest of honor was former Mueller goon Andrew Weissmann (D-FBI). Weissmann “violently” (his word for it) rejected the idea that the Justice Department should decline to go after Trump for fear of looking overtly political —…

On Morning Joe, Never Trumper Charlie Sykes praises former Trump attorney general Bill Barr for harshly criticizing Trump, but prefaces his praise by saying, "it takes a healthy gag reflex to accept Bill Barr."

During NBC’s Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd landed a sitdown interview with former Vice President and current presidential candidate Mike Pence. Predictably the interview started off by Todd asking Pence his thoughts on the indictment of former President Donald Trump due to allegations he held onto classified documents after leaving office. There’s an old saying that you shouldn…

A humorous moment took place Sunday during ABC’s This Week when co-moderator Jonathan Karl struggled to report a poll by state-affiliated media outlet National Public Radio which showed former President Donald Trump’s favorable ratings increasing among Republicans since his indictment. Trump went from 68 percent favorable prior to the indictment to 76 percent. It’s unclear whether…

Here was the headline this last week in The New York Times:

On Tuesday’s Amanpour & Co., host Christiane Amanpour was joined by Yale professor Timothy Snyder, whom she described as “an award-winning historian and bestselling author, focusing on the dangers of authoritarianism.” Both host and guest went on an extended rant on the hypothetical threats of political violence ginned up by Trump supporters, or as Amanpour breathlessly put it, “…

Trying to explain why Donald Trump held onto classified documents after leaving the presidency, Morning Joe describes him as a pathological, weird, bizarre, criminal hoarder, similar to John Nash, the schizophrenic mathematician who was the subject of the movie, A Beautiful Mind.

Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett (R) joined CNN Primetime host Kailtan Collins on Thursday for a discussion that included a tense back and forth about whether CNN is creating “doubt in the mind of the public” by attacking Judge Aileen Cannon in the case of former President Trump’s second indictment with an exasperated Burchett telling Collins “I mean, come on, you're CNN, we know that, it’…

MSNBC spent 93 percent of Tuesday discussing former President Trump’s arraignment on Tuesday and it appears some at the network think that number is too low. One of those voices belongs to contributor, professor, and former Solicitor General Neal Katyal, who joined Thursday’s edition of The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle to demand that Judge Aileen Cannon work with Chief Justice John…

Seething MSNBC host Joe Scarborough on Thursday’s Morning Joe discovered that there was in fact, no limit to the depths he would dig to smear Judge Aileen Cannon, who will be presiding over former President Trump’s criminal trial.  Putting aside how Trump had appointed her to the bench, the gist of Scarborough’s criticism was that she was too young and too dumb, thus she couldn’t be…

ABC’s Good Morning America co-host and former Clinton official George Stephanopoulos isn’t a fan of pushback over the second Trump indictment. In addition to meltdowns last week when now-ex-Trump attorney Jim Trusty brought up the Biden documents probe and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) doing the same on Sunday’s This Week, he pitched a third fit on Thursday’s GMA.…
