MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Donald Trump for ignoring the advice of his lawyers and risking prison by listening to a right-wing "yahoo."
The former president reportedly was advised by his attorneys to negotiate a settlement last fall to avoid an indictment by the Department of Justice in the classified documents case, but instead took the advice of Judicial Watch head Tom Fitton, who is not an attorney but has a bachelor's degree in English from George Washington University, and decided to fight the allegations and insist he could keep those papers.
"Donald Trump has spent the last 50 years sort of playing the tabloid game, pushing off the New York Post, the Daily News, all this other stuff, insulting opponents, insulting Rosie O'Donnell, and it's all been a swirl for him," the "Morning Joe" host said. "He always stays like five minutes ahead of the creditors, five minutes ahead of the judges. But again, there's no better evidence that he doesn't -- I think maybe he does now, but he didn't understand what he was stepping into, what arena he was stepping into, right? This is like gladiator without, you know, a really good gladiator."
"He's in the ring, and this is, again, literally his life, possibly behind bars, and he's talking to some yahoo who, again, people in the fever swamps love listening to him, but he's talking to this guy for advice about -- is Tom Fitton going to stay in jail with him for the rest of his life if he gets charged?" Scarborough added. "No, he's going to be typing and going on to the next sucker. Again, you look at [New] Jersey, his options are running out."
