'What goes around comes around': Morning Joe warns MAGA against cheering Trump’s retribution

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough issued a stark warning about karma to those Republicans celebrating President Donald Trump's escalating crackdowns on his political enemies.

"What goes around come around," Scarborough said Friday morning after the DOJ revealed indictments against former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts. Prosecutors allege Comey made false statements to Congress and obstructed a congressional proceeding about the bureau’s investigation into alleged links between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.

As critics condemned the indictments as vindictive, meritless and "a dangerous breach of norms," Trump allies, notes Mediaite, "greeted the charges with celebration of what they saw as long-overdue accountability."

Scarborough said Thursday was “tough day” for “people who believe in the rule of law, who believe in the political norms and the constitutional norms that have shaped this country.”

He also said that Republicans may be next in Trump's line of attack.

"They must understand that if there’s a billionaire independent who decides to be president of the United States, gets elected and then decides to start going after Republicans, Republican senators, Republican House members, Republican judges, Republican political operatives, all that independent will have to do is just pick up the phone, call his or her attorney general and say: ‘Arrest Republican senator A, arrest Republican political opponent B. Go after conservative think tank C.' I mean, it is, again, extraordinarily dangerous," Scarborough said.

Co-host Willie Geist agreed, saying, “Here it is right in front of us, the weaponization of government."
