On today's Morning Joe, Mika Brzezinski teased an upcoming segment with James Carville and Steve Schmidt by saying it would be a "debate." But the only contest between the two was to see who could be more critical of Donald Trump. And Schmidt, senior adviser to John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, won that contest hands down.

Democrats in the Senate have pushed away funding for the Zika virus as reports from Florida indicate that seven more people have tested positive for the Zika virus, which they have acquired locally (most likely through mosquito bites). And, more troubling, there is a case of non-travel related Zika that has been contracted outside of the two zones that have had all the known locally acquired cases to this date.
...The Florida Department of Health confirmed on Tuesday that six more people contracted the virus in the tourist hot spot of Miami Beach. Over the past month, 40 people have contracted Zika from mosquitoes in Miami Beach and a second South Florida location - the Wynwood art district just north of downtown Miami. Those two areas have become the focus of health officials, mosquito control efforts and travel warnings for pregnant women from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The lawmakers asked questions after they learned that the administration paid $400 million as Iran released four American hostages. Well, on Tuesday, the administration finally told the lawmakers about the $1.3 billion. Officials transferred the money "through Europe on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5" the exact same way they sent the $400 million. Iran picked it up in Geneva, Switzerland.

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) has asked the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia (USADC) to review the email case against Hillary Clinton because evidence "may amount to obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence." The FBI released its notes from its investigation into the private server Hillary used when she served as secretary of state. Agents discovered that some of her aides destroyed a few of her BlackBerry devices with a hammer while no one can find an Archive Laptop with 902 emails. Someone, the FBI blacked out the name, told agents that he/she "deleted the Clinton archive mailbox from the PRN server and used BleachBit to delete the exported."
