The people at MSNBC have no shame. Zero. After years of pushing Russia collusion, the Jack Smith investigation of Trump, and pretty much any anti-Trump conspiracy theory they could find, the far left network is pivoting back to a concern about preserving norms.
Now that Trump has won the 2024 election, MSNBC is suddenly and deeply worried about the prosecution of political opponents. It’s the sort of thing that’s only a problem if Trump does it after it has been done to him for years.
Teri Christoph reports at RedState:
NBC News’ “Fusion” Ken Dilanian, who is best known for being one of corporate media’s biggest teller of lies about the Russia collusion hoax, is joining a chorus of leftist voices who fear that Donald Trump will simply follow the precedent set by Joe Biden and use the DOJ for his political purposes. It’s almost too silly to contemplate that the left would go down this desperate route, but then again, they did run Kamala Harris as their presidential candidate.Dilanian appeared on MSNBC to discuss alleged tension, as reported by The New York Times, between the “normies” and the “crazies” on the Trump transition team. One such team member, Mike Davis, whom Dilanian called a “bomb-throwing provocateur,” was singled out as likely being a “crazy” for suggesting that people like Letitia James and Jack Smith should be prosecuted for their actions against Donald Trump.
This is what MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian said, also via RedState:
The thing about that is that it would violate five decades of norms, post-Watergate, which said that the Justice Department should be independent from the president. That the president should never say “go investigate that person.” These people are suggesting that Donald Trump should be able to do that with his Justice Department.And, as a legal matter, they’re right. We’re talking about norms here, not laws, these post-Watergate strictures. So, it’s raising a lot of questions and getting a lot of people very nervous.

No one is buying it.

These people don’t care about norms. They’re slipping right back into the same mode they were in during Trump’s first term where everything is framed as a negative about him, in spite of the precedents set over the last four years.
