After spending years pounding the drum of the Russia collusion hoax, Thursday’s version of Morning Joe on MSNBC fell again to a demonstrably exaggerated characterization of Congressman James Comer’s (R-KY) investigation into President Biden’s corruption. Regardless of the investigation nonetheless being in its early phases, Joe Scarborough and Jonathan Lemire, along with the Washington Publish’s Jacqueline Alemany teamed as much as mock the investigation as “an entire lot of smoke and no hearth.”
Collectively they pushed Congressman Jamie Raskin’s (D-MD) lie in regards to the investigation that Lawyer Basic Invoice Barr just lately publicly refuted. This blatant assault on an ongoing investigation by Republicans was yet another instance that showcases the inevitable conclusion that MSNBC is in reality a propaganda arm of the Democrat Occasion, and prepared to make use of lies to bolster their false narratives each time doable.
Alemany claimed: “we’re informed not simply by Jamie Raskin however by impartial sources who informed the Publish who’re acquainted with the doc that it was reviewed underneath Lawyer Basic Invoice Barr and Scott Brady, it was assessed and these allegations that the informant made have been finally closed”.
Sadly for Raskin, Lawyer Basic Invoice Barr himself publicly confirmed that “It’s not true. It wasn’t closed down … it was despatched to Delaware for additional investigation.” How may Invoice Barr assess and shut down the investigation, then come out and say he didn’t shut down the allegations? Somebody needed to be mendacity.
Scarborough then railed on that the doc was “a lot ado about nothing”, dismissing the investigation to his co-host Jonathan Lemire, who took it a step additional, arguing that the investigation was truly Republicans weaponizing the Federal authorities in opposition to Joe Biden.
Lemire then reasserted the long-repeated Democrat speaking level that Republicans have been attempting to “drag down the President” to supply a distraction for Donald Trump’s personal authorized issues. Authorized issues, which MSNBC has always inflated as “the partitions closing in on” Trump, even after the Durham Report confirmed accusations of “Trump-Russia collusion” to be false.
MSNBC thinks it’s okay to hype up investigations that finish in nothing if Trump is the goal, but when Biden is the goal, it’s the finish of the world. After all, the truth that the allegations weren’t closed by Invoice Barr and the FBI’s insistence that they concern their informant will likely be killed if the doc goes public each point out there might be one thing to the investigation. However, if the investigation does reveal no wrongdoing by the President, and seems to be Republicans going after President Biden’s ballot numbers as they are saying, MSNBC ought to be providing them a job, not criticism.

JACQUELINE ALEMANY: Yeah, Mika, it’s lots of again and forth to comply with, final evening at round 9:30, we have been notified that James Comer had agreed to Christopher Wray’s supply for all the lawmakers on the committee to assessment this 1023 doc which we are informed not simply by Jamie Raskin however by impartial sources who informed the Publish who’re acquainted with this doc that it was reviewed underneath Lawyer Basic Invoice Barr and Scott Brady, it was assessed and these allegations that the confidential informant made have been finally shut. It’s doable that this doc was then routed, as we mentioned on Monday, to a different ongoing investigation. However that doesn’t imply that it is that the allegations make within the allegation particularly are being investigated.
We- lawmakers are anticipated to have the ability to view the doc doubtlessly as we speak as early as as we speak or subsequent week. However Home Speaker Kevin McCarthy made it very clear in his personal phrases yesterday: if all the lawmakers are capable of view this doc in digicam, in individual, then there’s no contempt vote. James Comer appeared to have finally agreed regardless of lots of the showboating he was doing round this contempt vote.
JOE SCARBOROUGH: All proper, The Washington Publish’s Jackie Alemany, as all the time thanks a lot, admire it.
ALEMANY: Thanks, Joe.
SCAROBOROUGH: And this doc itself, my God, Jonathan Lemire, again and again we hear in regards to the doc and it appears to the be a lot ado about nothing. You truly had Chuck Grassley who noticed the doc, was requested about it and said- stated, properly does that does the doc show that he’s responsible? And he stated, ‘Nicely it doesn’t matter. We do not care whether or not he’s responsible or not. We do not care whether or not he’s responsible or not.’
Once more, Barr did not transfer on this. The Trump Administration did not transfer on this. And once more even when Grassley noticed it- Grassley, none got here out saying that he did something fallacious. There’s only a complete lot of smoke right here. And completely no hearth it appears.
JONATHAN LEMIRE: Yeah, no, the fires are up in Canada. They’re actually not, and plenty of of them do with this specific matter. And we noticed it we’ve heard it from Grassley you simply stated, Congressman Comer himself has been on, has given interviews, he has admitted that that is about President Joe Biden’s ballot numbers, that they don’t acknowledge, they acknowledge that there in all probability is not one thing truly there.
However they’re gonna hold this going. And it’s, to not belabor the analogy, it’s a few smoke machine right here as a result of they’re attempting to simply create distraction, they’re attempting to tug down the President in addition to attempt to give you the equivalence of the authorized issues surrounding Donald Trump. Republicans have made clear that their argument all alongside, Willie, the thought the federal government, the Federal forms, was in opposition to Donald Trump, was working to undermine him, due to this fact that is honest play. They’re attempting to degree the enjoying discipline. They’re of their cries of the Federal Authorities being weaponized in opposition to Trump, when actually they’re attempting to weaponized it in opposition to Biden.
However there’s no less than thus far, no there there. And it additionally exhibits there’s been no affect on the President’s ballot numbers, and actually polls counsel they need the Republicans within the Home to give attention to one thing that truly issues.
