Maybe Scarborough's right. Maybe he soiled himself when Pirro asked him on air if he worked for Russia.
The Morning Joe hosts were stunned by this weekends reports that the FBI had opened a counterintelligence investigation to determine whether the president was acting as a Russian agent, and they said Trump had not really denied it.
On Saturday the president was asked point blank, have you ever worked for Russia? Brzezinski said. Nowhere in his 354-word answer did he say the word no.
Scarborough said the presidents frantic response to Pirros question betrayed his fear.
You dont have to be a pop psychiatrist to listen to Donald Trumps voice on Fox News this weekend, and he was in a full-on panic, Scarborough said. Full-on panic, talking a hundred miles an hour. In that clip so he had to trash his own U.S. intel agencies but, boy, he was in full panic mode.

(47,750 posts)Don't ask subtle indirect questions, just go straight to the point. This is what happened when Hillary accused Trump of being a Putin puppet, he became totally unhinged on national television. Perhaps this is what more journalists need to do, just pointblank ask him questions, instead of suggesting collusion or treason.

Presidents go to people like Pirro because it is a full strings attached interview. They make people like Pirro their puppet.
If Trump didn't know that was going to be asked then this is a bigger.... Nevermind, it can't be any larger of a shit show.

(10,240 posts)He then proceeded to insult and accuse of stupidity everyone involved. He insulted everyone from the newspaper to the FBI. There at the end he starts wandering, saying how he won the election. I expected him to mention the huge crowds at his tiny inauguration. I've heard him sound worse. But his constant bragging about all his accomplishments and his constant insults and obvious threats to anyone who stands up to him.
But I never realized what a suck up Jean, or whatever her name is, could be and still she calls herself a journalist.

(10,850 posts)Really? After everything we've watched in real time, these two were stunned, shocked, taken aback?
Trumpski indicts himself as soon as he opens his mouth. How any news group could be stunned as the evidence rolls out is beyond me. But then, the MSM gave Donald Trump a pass when he was an 'entertainment' commodity bringing in lots of $$$.
Are we amused yet? Or does watching the country being torn down and apart bring back a smidge of guilt? You know those days when Trumpski was able to 'phone it in' during the campaign and everyone laughed and chortled?
I'm looking at you, Morning Joe.

(81,605 posts)Isnt it clear by now? HASNT it BEEN clear for awhile now?
Isnt it the logical conclusion were seeing play out now, that stems from all the lies, criminal behavior, deceit, and flouting the law that weve seen in the behavior leading up to now - and STILL in play as we go forward? (Forward merely in the march of time, not in illumination or principles, that is.)
