They’re really melting down now. He leaves off whose FBI it was in 2016 and how any criticism of the FBI was called “treasonous” by Democrats.

Joe Scarborough went off on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Friday, accusing him of “aiding and abetting” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to “subvert” American elections and even alleging a Russia-linked investment in Kentucky could be playing a part.
The “Morning Joe” segment was based on a new bipartisan report from the Senate Intelligence Committee on Russian election interference efforts. The report provided new details on how Russian government hackers “directed extensive activity against U.S. election infrastructure” — and potentially identified vulnerabilities that they can exploit in upcoming elections.
Repeatedly calling him “Moscow Mitch,” Scarborough fumed at McConnell, R-Ky., for acting “un-American” by not moving forward on election-security bills pushed by Democrats in the hours after Robert Mueller’s testimony, including a bill to provide $775 million to enhance election system security, and a bill that would have required that campaigns report all offers of foreign assistance to the FBI.
“I understand that there’s an oligarch that I have read is going to be setting up a big aluminum plant in Moscow Mitch’s home state. I don’t know if that’s it,” he speculated.
