Donald Trump faces so much legal peril that it can be hard to keep up, so legal experts compiled an analysis so thorough that it stretches out to book length.

Two of those experts appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where they gave a summary of the 91 criminal counts Trump faces in four jurisdictions, along with the lawsuits alleging fraud, defamation, sexual abuse and violation of civil rights, and the various appeals he's made in all those cases.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele wrote off Republican election chances for the foreseeable future.

The "Morning Joe" host pointed to turmoil within the Michigan Republican Party, whose election-denying former chair Kristina Karamo chased away donors and competent leadership and now refuses to recognize the vote to remove her, and Scarborough said that was "a sign of things to come" in the wake of Donald Trump's takeover of the GOP apparatus.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski condemned Republicans for continuing to side with Russia in its invasion of Ukraine despite the death of dissident Alexei Navalny in an Arctic prison.

The White House has hammered House Republican leaders for taking a recess without approving aid for Ukraine, which they've shown little willingness to approve, and Donald Trump has stopped far short of condemning Vladimir Putin for Navalny's death and instead compared the dead activist to himself.

Nikki Haley quite likely will lose her home state of South Carolina to Donald Trump in the Republican primary race, but she has one advantage over him besides not currently being under criminal indictment.

The state's former governor and Trump's former UN ambassador has vowed to remain in the race to provide an alternative to the quadruple-indicted, twice-impeached ex-president who's on the hook for more than a half billion dollars in penalties for fraud and defaming his sex abuse victim, and MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire said Haley's got plenty of cash on hand.

The unmasking of the Republicans' star witness as a potential conduit for Russian disinformation raises questions for the FBI and William Barr's Justice Department.

House impeachment witness Alexander Smirnov was arrested for lying to FBI agents and then admitted to working with officials associated with Russian intelligence, and NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian said federal investigators should explain why they relied on him as a confidential informant for a decade.

MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire revealed a nugget of reporting on the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden that shows "Republicans know it's falling apart."

Lemire, the host of "Way Too Early" and White House bureau chief for Politico, spoke to a White House staffer who told him about subpoena letters sent before – and then after – the GOP's star witness Alexander Smirnov told investigators he had been working with Russian spies to smear Hunter Biden.

Donald Trump spewed more false claims about mail-in voting this week, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said the former president would keep costing Republicans election wins.

The ex-president told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that allowing votes by mail would "automatically" invite fraud, which she disputed by reminding him that Florida did and he "won huge" anyway, and the "Morning Joe" host said that was just one more example of how Trump actually hurts the party that has fully surrendered to his leadership.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped Republicans for swallowing lies that were fed to them from Russian intelligence.

The GOP's star witness in the House impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden has been arrested for lying to the FBI, and he admitted to investigators that evidence he fed to lawmakers had come from sources with ties to Russian intelligence, which the "Morning Joe" host said that was more evidence that Donald Trump and the Republican Party are beholden to Vladimir Putin.

Prosecutors revealed that the so-called whistleblower in the Hunter Biden investigation was feeding disinformation directly from Russian spies to Republican lawmakers.

Alexander Smirnov admitted that "officials associated with Russian intelligence" were involved with passing along a story about President Joe Biden's son that became the basis of allegations in the GOP impeachment inquiry, and prosecutors said the former FBI informant was “actively peddling new lies that could impact U.S. elections.”

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski is raising questions about Donald Trump's loyalty to the nation he hopes to lead again.

The former president compared himself to the Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, who died under suspicious circumstances in an Arctic prison after surviving multiple poisonings, and both Brzezinski and "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough cast suspicion on Trump's longstanding refusal to speak out against Vladimir Putin.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned Donald Trump's "grotesque" comparison of himself to the late Russian dissident Alexei Navalny on Tuesday.

The Russian opposition leader died last week in an Arctic prison, where he'd been sentenced on extremism charges as Vladimir Putin's leading domestic critic, and the "Morning Joe" host was appalled that Trump broke days of silence to make the suspicious death about himself.

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis seemed to catch Donald Trump's attorneys off guard when she agreed to testify, and MSNBC's Joyce Vance said she's the latest woman to pierce the ex-president's veil of invincibility.

The Georgia prosecutor brushed aside her own attorneys and sat down on the witness stand, and she battled back against allegations of corruption by attorneys for the former president and his co-defendant Michael Roman, who Vance told "Morning Joe" did not seem prepared for Willis to testify.

MSNBC's Joyce Vance argued on Friday that the first day of hearings into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis turned up no evidence that should force her off the Georgia election interference case.

The prosecutor strongly denied that she and special investigator Nathan Wade had begun their relationship before his hiring or lived together, and she insisted she had repaid him in cash for travel purchased on her behalf, and Vance told "Morning Joe" she didn't hear anything that should disqualify her from pursuing her case against Donald Trump.
