Morning Joe needs to be bombarded with hits about their FALSE Susan Rice allegations.

We need to hit them hard and often. This was her job and she did it to the nth degree. She did not leak any information to anyone who were not legally able to see the info. CNN is the only outlet coving this story properly.

We need some DEM spokespeople on the attack against Morning Joe.

Was just on Merning Joe. Joe went off into a rant about Hillary. Sheldon just stood there, not one word back.just looked disgusted.

Then went back to the subject he was on for. Joe backpedaled,as usual,saying it was wrong for Garland. But it would be wrong to do the same thing to Gorsuch.

No wonder Joe is flailing while Rachel is beating Fox News all to Heck. I check him out because he so sucked up to Trump he is funny.

Making Joe look foolish. Then he stated what he was there to talk about. Sheldon embrassed both Joe and Mika. She tried to cover by telling Sheldon they wanted him to come back again.

Sheldon made his point very well by showing Joe up for what he is. The gentleman vs. the obnoxious bore.

my Satellite provider and downgraded my service so I no longer receive CNN, MSNBC, fox, or CNBC.

The so-called cable news outlets are mostly incendiary devices to get viewers. They are not that much different than the shock jocks like Howard Stern. They have gone out of there way to legitimize racism, sexism, and xenophobia, and as far as I am concerned they don't deserve my solicitation. They are less than useless.

There are plenty of avenues where I can obtain news without the bullshit, and that includes Newspapers, PBS news, BBC, etc.

Fox survives because they have viewers. Same with every other show on TV. It is all about ratings and money

than watching joe blow a fuse when the world doesn't go his way. I love the way he pounds on his highchair when he is accused of being a trump lackey, just like an angry two year old. Joe and Mika have given us more giggles than the Simpsons, especially as they truly believe that they are relevant.

The CEO's of MSNBC need to get off their collective asses and give her a DAILY slot, just like Maddow. All the rest of those bums, sans O'Donnell, like gretchen and all the other 'talking heads' spewing half truths and outright obfuscatory BS have spots in regular primetime slots. Replace one of the gretchen clones.

He even got into a hissy fit fight with Sheldon Whitehouse over small subject matter, and not the main topic of conversation. He couldn't let it go.

from what was revealed, it seems that Carter Page was on the NSA's and maybe other agencies radar as far back as 2015 (haven't fully read everything yet).

It would have been a dereliction of Susan Rice's duty to not raise red flags as soon as his name was heard as being associated with the campaign.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/alimwatkins/a-former-trump-adviser-met-with-a-russian-spy?utm_term=.mm7Ala1P62#.ndwYg08RXw

A former campaign adviser for Donald Trump met with and passed documents to a Russian intelligence operative in New York City in 2013.

The adviser, Carter Page, met with a Russian intelligence operative named Victor Podobnyy, who was later charged by the US government alongside two others for acting as unregistered agents of a foreign government. The charges, filed in January 2015, came after federal investigators busted a Russian spy ring that was seeking information on US sanctions as well as efforts to develop alternative energy. Page is an energy consultant.

A court filing by the US government contains a transcript of a recorded conversation in which Podobnyy speaks with one of the other men busted in the spy ring, Igor Sporyshev, about trying to recruit someone identified as “Male-1.” BuzzFeed News has confirmed that “Male-1” is Page.

The revelation of Page’s connection to Russian intelligence — which occurred more than three years before his association with Trump — is the most clearly documented contact to date between Russian intelligence and someone in Trump’s orbit. It comes as federal investigators probe whether Trump’s campaign-era associates — including Page — had any inappropriate contact with Russian officials or intelligence operatives during the course of the election. Page has volunteered to help Senate investigators in their inquiry.
