MSNBC host Joe Scarborough expressed no interest in comments made by Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Thursday morning during a segment about Donald Trump using the Department of Justice to pursue his political foes.

First taking a shot at House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) for saying in an interview with the Bulwark, "With politicians, if you’ve used a congressional committee and you’ve lied and tried to set people up and falsely imprisoned people, then you should be held accountable," co-host Mika Brezinski began to report that Rep. Lauren Boebert contributed, “It’s not looking good for them. You know, they’re asking for their preemptive pardon. So it kind of sounds suspect and guilty. I think anybody who has politically imprisoned American citizens and completely ruined their lives needs to be investigated," but Scarborough cut her off quickly after she mentioned the controversial Colorado Republican's name.

"Alright, alright, I don't care," he interrupted which led the whole panel to start laughing as Scarborough referenced Boebert's Beetlejuice theater scandal by joking, "Go see a play," which led to more laughter.

CNN's Kate Bolduan hammered Donald Trump for again suggesting a link between vaccines and autism in his wide-ranging interview with Time Magazine after he was named "person of the year."

The president-elect has often echoed a thoroughly debunked study linking childhood vaccinations with autism, and he did it again while speaking to reporters from the magazine as he prepares to embark on a second term in the White House, this time with an anti-vaccine nominee to oversee the nation's public health.

Comments made by House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) noted in a recent Bulwark report drew a scathing response from "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough on Thursday morning.

Discussing Donald Trump's desire to have lawmakers who investigated him over the Jan 6 insurrection hauled in and prosecuted, Comer claimed they were fair game.

According to the Bulwark, the Republican from Kentucky replied, "With politicians, if you’ve used a congressional committee and you’ve lied and tried to set people up and falsely imprisoned people, then you should be held accountable."

After co-host Mika Brzezinski read the quote, MSNBC's Scarborough pounced.

"Wow. I mean that's a hell of a confession by James Comer who lied repeatedly, repeatedly, about Joe Biden," he exclaimed.

"Is he going to send himself to jail? Is that what he is telling us right here," he asked with tongue in cheek.

Co-host Brzezinki carried on, reporting that Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) agreed with Comer, adding, "If they broke the law, then they should [be imprisoned]. Now we know that they’ve manipulated evidence, so—if that’s the case, then absolutely.”

Reacting to reports that some Republican senators are losing their patience with close associates of Donald Trump bullying them to rubber-stamp his Cabinet nominees, the panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" pounced on Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) as one of the worst offenders.

That led co-host Joe Scarborough to mock the Arkansas Republican for thinking anyone in the Senate cares what he thinks.

Singling out comments made by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) that she is not pleased with the pressure coming from the MAGA wing of the party, Scarborough stated, "At least with, Murkowski that didn't work too well," before changing direction and exclaiming, "Also, Tom Cotton running around going, 'I am the enforcer, you all better vote for every one of these people,' you know how well that plays with fellow senators?"

"What do they say about fellow senators?" he asked rhetorically. "Everyone looks in the mirror and what do they see? The next president of the United States."

"They don't need Tom Cotton running around playing enforcer and people going, 'We've got Tom Cotton on our side, he's yelling at all the other senators.' Where are these people from? Because that's not how -- we in the House called them the 'House of Lords for a reason," he continued while referencing his time in Congress.

During a discussion on the decision of FBI Director Christopher Wray to step down from his job before Donald Trump retakes the reins of the government, a former official in Trump's first administration recalled when Trump fired ex-Director James Comey and it blew up in his face.

Speaking to the panel, former White House Communications Director Mike Dubke explained that when Trump got rid of Comey he felt that Democrats, still angry at Comey for giving Trump's first campaign a boost with his investigation comments about Hillary Clinton, would be pleased.

That did not turn out to be the case and it came back to haunt the now-president-elect.

As the conversation turned to both Republicans and Democrats having concerns about the FBI, Dubke interjected, "I will add this from my time in the White House, it was during the Comey firing that the pure power politics of that firing really came home for Trump because he thought when he was moving forward with this, that [Sen. Chuck] Schumer and [Rep. Nancy] Pelosi, because of what Clinton said and and the views of Democrats about the election in 2016, he thought they'd applaud this."

"When he made those calls and they turned that around and made this all about Russia and made this all about pure power politics, that, I think, was an eye-opening episode for the president," he added.

A CNN conservative faced pushback for arguing that that FBI director Christopher Wray might as well have resigned since Donald Trump intended to fire him once he took office.

The Trump-appointed Wray announced Wednesday that he would step down at the end of President Joe Biden's administration, and panelists on "CNN This Morning" debated whether he made the right decision in the face of his likely termination, since Trump has already nominated MAGA loyalist Kash Patel to replace him.

The reaction by executives across the nation following the brutal cold-blooded killing of UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson last week didn’t sit right with "Shark Tank" star investor Kevin O’Leary.

Instead of making efforts to fortify security around them, executives should “read the room” — and realize the public is turning against them, the investor and chairman of O'Leary Ventures said Wednesday.

Iraq War veteran and commentator Paul Rieckhoff sounded the alarm on Wednesday, saying the ongoing attacks on the FBI are an essential part of President-elect Donald Trump's transition.

Rieckhoff joined MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace and ex-Republican Tim Miller for "Deadline: White House" on Wednesday to debate the inexperienced Cabinet appointees being offered up for the new administration.

An Ohio Republican lawmaker got some pushback from CNN as he ranted and raved about conspiracy theories involving conservative censorship and MAGA fans being targeted.

Finally, CNN anchor Boris Sanchez had enough of Rep. Warren Davidson's (R-OH) antics.

Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray essentially served as the scapegoat for all of Trump's fury about his years of legal problems, a former FBI agent told a CNN anchor Wednesday.

Wray, facing pressure and the threat of dismissal, agreed to step down three years ahead of the end of his term this week, clearing the way for Trump — who appointed him in 2017 — to replace him with Kash Patel, a far-right conspiracy theorist with a long enemies list that even includes some Republicans.

The internet swiftly reacted as FBI Director Christopher Wray announced he would step down before Donald Trump entered the White House.

Trump, who appointed Wray, blamed the FBI head for "invading my home at Mar-a-Lago" as part of an investigation into Trump's potential mishandling of classified documents and presidential records. Wray also oversaw the prosecutions of MAGA fans who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6.

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced his intention to resign ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.

Fox News correspondent David Spunt confirmed that Wray was informing FBI staff of his decision on Wednesday.

According to a former Republican congressman, Donald Trump's hatred of looking like a loser could lead him to replace embattled Fox News personality Pete Hegseth if it looks like he can't round up the Republican Senate votes he needs to be confirmed.

Speaking with MSNBC host Chris Jansing, ex-Rep. Dave Jolly (R-FL) said that, while the president-elect is unpredictable, one thing people can count on is his obsession with winning — and that does not bode well for Hegseth, who is encumbered with allegations of sexual assault and drinking issues.
