Matthews Dismisses Worked Up Scarborough: ‘Get Yourself a Job at the Special Counsel’

[See NewsBusters for more.] Chris Matthews on Monday's Morning Joe tried to talk an agitated Joe Scarborough down from the ledge. In regard to the finding of no collusion in the Mueller report and no prosecution on obstruction, Scarborough peppered the Hardball host with a series of “what about” questions. Finally, an exasperated Matthews dismissed, “Get yourself as a job as special counsel.... [This investigation] was resolved this weekend politically.” What got Scarborough so worked up? Perhaps it was the casual dismissal and finality of which Matthews talked. He concluded, “So they didn't have him on collusion. That, to me, means there will not be a conviction in the U.S. Senate this year. That's not going to happen.”
