MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped Republicans for "lying" about the FBI to punish the law enforcement agency for investigating Donald Trump.
Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts told Fox News the FBI should be "started over from scratch and rebuilt," but the "Morning Joe" host said he misrepresented the findings of special counsel John Durham to justify his attack on the agency.
"That's just a lie, he is lying to you," Scarborough said. "He is lying to you in a way that helps leaders of ISIS, he is lying to you in ways that make you less safe. He is lying to you in a way that provides comfort to cyber criminals. It provides comfort to domestic terrorists, it provides comfort to people who are gang members, to drug dealers, drug smugglers, drug lords. I mean, the things the FBI does day in and day out, that they've done day in and day out for decades, and these clowns want to defund them and make -- it'll bring anarchy to America because Donald Trump has been investigated by the FBI."

"Here's the thing, Donald Trump would not be president of the United States in 2017 through 2021 if not for the FBI," Scarborough added. "If not for an FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton that went on for years, with leaks to every news agency, including our own, about her emails, all leaks from the FBI, from the New York office of the FBI that hated Hillary Clinton, that kept the wind in the sails of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, and then 10 days before, the letter from the FBI that reopened the investigation, that even Donald Trump will tell you, or at least said then, gave his campaign second life. But for the FBI, Donald Trump would never have been president."
