Only way to support both Trump and Jesus is if you've never read either's book: critic

MS NOW host Joe Scarborough started off Friday's show by discussing the Thursday firing of Attorney General Pam Bondi, noting that she is another example of people who still didn't last in President Donald Trump's world of demands.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said that stand-in Todd Blanche should understand the Justice Department, given that he cut his teeth in the Southern District of New York. Swapping Bondi with Blanche is only shuffling the chairs it won't get Trump to his desired demands.

"Well, yeah, and Jeanine Pirro thinks that she may, you know, she's pitching herself," said Scarborough. "I mean, you look at what's happened with her and, you know, she's running rightfully into the same brick walls Pam Bondi did legally when she tried to go after six U.S. Senators for stating the law."

Trump has an enemies list that reporters have said he wants action on, but the problem is that there is no evidence to secure an indictment against the list of people. That's why Bondi was fired. which includes Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calf.), New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey. Two of those three were indicted, but the indictments were dismissed. Pirro hasn't been able to secure an indictment in several cases, including those at the local level, where individuals insulted federal agents on the ground in Washington, D.C.

Scarborough recalled when she tried to go after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Pirro failed there too.

Powell is "somebody who's doing his best day in and day out to keep this country and its economy moving forward despite a lot of erratic decisions that are being made out of the White House, that are making the feds challenge all the more greater."

"But, you know, Rev. Al [Sharpton], it seems that — here's the cover of the Times," he said, holding up the front page of the Friday headlines, announcing Trump's firing of Bondi.

"It seems that Pam Bondi learned the same lesson that [Gen.] James Mattis learned, that Gen. John Kelly learned, that Gary Cohn learned, and that Bill Barr learned. You go down the list of all the people who have been fired from the Trump administration in the first and second terms, and there's no amount of kissing up to him. There's no amount of biting your tongue. There's no amount of putting up with it because of your fears that the next person is going to be worse. That will ultimately save you from firing and humiliation," Scarborough said.
