President Donald Trump has been having a very bad day in court and MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace barely managed to contain her glee reporting on his losses.
"The legal hits keep coming," said Wallace. "Today, earlier, a federal judge out of Virginia ruled that DOJ's so-called 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' must freeze and that no money can be disbursed until she hears a motion challenging the fund's very existence."
Then, she noted, just hours later, a different federal judge "permanently blocked Trump from adding his name to the Kennedy Center," demanding that any name other than Kennedy be removed from the signage and promotional material within two weeks, and putting the planned two-year renovation on hold as well.
Wallace then turned to her panel, focusing on New York Times reporter Glenn Thrush. "There's the humiliating aspect to these stories for these came up ... there's all of the losing. I mean, what is left in terms of legal acumen in the Department of Justice if they can't win a case?"
Thrush argued that, privately, even a lot of people in the Trump administration were hoping for the "weaponization" slush fund to get killed in court.
"There are people, political appointees in the Justice Department and in the White House who are really, really happy, or would be very happy, if this thing died a quiet judicial death so that they were not forced to defend it" especially considering Senate Republicans who feel "newly liberated from Donald Trump" are "antithetical" to the plan and had been drafting legislation to stop it.
