The Friday evening cast of PBS News Hour featuring moderator Geoff Bennett, MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks briefly broke character to heap praise on President Trump for his role in securing a ceasefire agreement that will see Israeli hostages return home. However, the trio quickly reverted back to form and freaked out that New York Attorney General Letitia James was recently indicted for mortgage fraud.

A few moments later, Bennett returned to Capehart to talk about James as the positive vibes ended, “And we talked about this last week, when the focus was solely on Comey, but President Trump's campaign of retribution is expanding.”
Capehart thought it was obvious that the charges against James are politically motivated, “He's on the record as saying they are guilty of something. Pam, go find it, Pam being the attorney general, Pam Bondi. So this is chilling because you now have a Justice Department that is supposed to, at least nominally, be separate and removed from the White House, taking orders from the president of the United States, who famously said, where's my Roy Cohn? Well, his Roy Cohn is named Pam Bondi.”
