Morning Joe buries 'pathetic' Speaker Mike Johnson for latest lie at Trump's bidding

MSNBC " Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough dropped the hammer on House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) early Monday morning after the GOP leader announced his opposition to a proposed Senate border bill just hours after it was released.

Late Sunday, Johnson posted on social media, "I’ve seen enough. This bill is even worse than we expected, and won’t come close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created. As the lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, 'the border never closes.' If this bill reaches the House, it will be dead on arrival."

According to Scarborough, Johnson is only doing it to appease Donald Trump who wants the border issue to remain a problem for President Joe Biden.

"He continued to lie," he said. "As Liz Cheney said, and he basically admitted, he was going around spreading a lie about January 6th, trying to get people to sign onto a letter that would continue the lie and help Ken Paxton spread the lie in Texas, he lied about that. He is lying about this, he knows. [Sen.] James Langford (R-OK) said, 'I wish they'd all read the bill. I wish they would understand how strong the bill is.'"

"But the sad thing is, and it's pathetic, and we say things can be two things at once, I mean, the new speaker is both dangerous and pathetic," Scarborough exclaimed. "Dangerous because he has decided, and he said it publicly, we're going to put politics over stopping fentanyl from coming into the United States. We're going to put politics above allowing our border security to stop terrorists from coming into the United States. We're going to keep the border chaotic for at least another ten months because we want things to be as chaotic as possible for Joe Biden."

"It's just like Donald Trump saying he wants the economy to crash, there to be a Great Depression, and he wants Biden to be Herbert Hoover," he added.

Trump defense in Colorado case 'could topple' authority of state courts: expert

One of the defenses Donald Trump's attorneys have offered in the U.S. Supreme Court appeal of a Colorado decision could "topple" the authority of state courts, according to a legal expert.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in December that the former president should be ineligible from holding office under the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause, and MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin said one of Trump's arguments could undermine the entire system of appeals.

Trump has 'some explaining to do' about missing millions of dollars: legal analyst

An alarming footnote from a court-appointed financial monitor watching over Donald Trump's finances that a $48 million loan has suddenly vanished should result in the former president being called in to explain away the possibility that he may have committed another act of financial fraud.

During an appearance on "Morning Joe," MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin claimed that, short of a legitimate accounting of the loan that had been listed in the former president's financials, there may be cause for more criminal charges.

Speaking with the co-hosts she explained that "retired Judge Barbara Jones is the monitor in the case, and we're not sure if it is impacting Judge [Arthur] Engoron's decision and timing. It's a letter that points to improprieties in Trump's financial statements."

"One of the things that it points to, and maybe the thing that's most troubling about it, is for years it's been understood that one of the business entities in the Trump Organization loaned former president Trump personally $48 million," she elaborated. "According to Judge Jones in a footnote in this letter, she could never find, no matter how many times she asked, documentation of that loan and was later told, essentially, that the loan didn't exist."

"The Trump organization lawyers, they refute that," she added. "They say the loan did exist and what we did was give Judge Jones an intra-company memo telling her that debt had been extinguished. But I've looked at that memo from December 2023: it is a memo to the file, so nobody even had the guts to sign it essentially. It just says that the debt has been extinguished. There is still, to this day, no documentation that the loan existed."

"And you might be thinking to yourself, what's the big deal about that?" she proposed. ''The big deal is if that loan did not exist and it was, instead a gift, there would be massive tax consequences to that as well as some improprieties in the financial reporting that went to Trump's financial institutions and insurance companies. In essence, a continuation of that same fraud that's been going on for years and has been showing up in his financial disclosure."
