On Saturday morning's edition of MSNBC's "The Weekend," co-host Jonathan Capehart expressed both dismay and surprise that Donald Trump selected Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro to serve as Washington, D.C.'s interim U.S. attorney considering her history.
Speaking with his co-hosts, he claimed it doesn't take much effort to dig up Pirro's sketchy background when it comes to law enforcement and offered some tips to viewers.
"Talk about failing upward!" he exclaimed before continuing, "She's not qualified."

Point out the longtime friendship between Pirro and Trump, Capehart continued, "They are such good friends that at the end of his first term as president, didn't he, yeah, he gave her former husband, tax cheat ex-husband Al a pardon."
"And folks, do yourself a favor just Google 'Jeanine Pirro,' 'husband,' 'FBI,' 'Bernie Kerik,'" he advised.
"See, there's a whole thing, a scandal from 20 years ago where she is caught on tape talking to the former New York police commissioner about bugging her husband's boat for reasons you can read in that story if you Google it," he continued.
