Good morning and welcome to Morning Joe. It's Friday, September 26th. Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Virginia.The former bureau chief is charged with one count of making a false statement and one count of obstruction of congressional proceedings. Come is denied any wrongdoing. If convicted, he faces up to 5 years in prison.The case was brought by Lindseay Halagan, the president's newly sworn in, handpicked replacement for the US attorney for the Eastern District ...

They’re not upset about the rule of law. They’re upset they lost their rule over the law. ...

Tonight, the Department of Justice secured an indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, and it happened just days after President Trump publicly pushed his attorney general to go after him. Comey responded in an Instagram video earlier tonight. And one thing that was noteworthy is that he didn't seem surprised.And to be clear, Comey has been a target of Donald Trump for years. Just listen to what he told my colleague Nicole Wallace in May. >> It's not my first rodeo.I I would hate something like this o ...

Following today's indictment of former FBI Director James Comey by Donald Trump's Justice Department, Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia put out this statement. I've had my differences with James Comey in the past, but I can spot trumped up charges a mile away. Trump said he'd go after him, then fired a superb, ethical prosecutor when he refused to bring frivolous charges against those whom Trump perceived to be his enemies.Now he has installed yet another one of his personal lawyers as the interim US ...

It is a really dark, sad, scary day for America. And that post that you just showed is truly petrifying. The president of the United States ordered criminal charges against an individual who happens to be a political adversary and a critic of him.And let's be clear about what's happening here. The president is singling out someone he just doesn't like. And that post that you just showed could create a defense, maybe even grounds for dismissal.I spent most of my life in law enforcement. I was the US attorney ...

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on two criminal counts by a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia. Two people familiar with the matter tell MSNBC one count is obstruction and the second count is false statements. Sources tell MSNBC that the grand jury rejected a third count, which is unknown at this point, but we will effort to get you that information. Donald Trump's Justice Department had been rushing to indict Comey before Tuesday because that's when the statute of limitations ...

Well, we believe the US attorney is pressing forward with this case and may be presenting to a grand jury as soon as today. And we're of course working to learn more. And this is coming after the developments last night where we learned that career prosecutors inside the office presented a memo uh to Lindseay Halligan, the newly installed US attorney, recommending that she not bring charges because they said that not only don't they believe that the office could win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt in ...

Let's bring in MSNBC's Justice and Intelligence correspondent Kendallian, MSNBC political contributor and Atlantic staff writer Mark Lieovich, and MSNBC legal analyst and former Manhattan assistant DA Katherine Christian. Ken, are you hearing any push back or concerns from inside the DOJ. Well, yes, of course, Anna.And it's consistent with what I've been hearing from sources inside the building almost since the beginning of the Trump administration because again, I keep saying this, we've never been here be ...

From @WSJopinion: Brazil’s biased Supreme Court convicts the former president and gives him 27 years. Rule of law be damned, writes @MaryAnastasiaOG. https://t.co/gyGjsdVCJJ ...

RT Orbán Viktor (@PM_ViktorOrban)The abandonment of traditional values, the neglect of common sense, and weak governance have led to barbarism taking root in the home of one of Europe’s greatest nations. Criminal gangs are using underage girls as instruments of killing.The mission of the rule of law is to ensure the safety of our people. Where underage girls are systematically used for murder, the rule of law is dead.Sweden is our friend, and the Swedish people are a great and noble nation.We are worried fo ...
