joining us, eugene scott. have a great weekend, everybody. thank you for joining us way too early. morning joe starts right now. i just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. because we won the state. that conversation is the main reason a special grand jury in georgia is investigating election interference. yesterday, we got some of their report, and it reveals that the jurors believe that witnesses lied to them. and, somehow, the former president, donald trump, thinks this report exonerates him. we ll explain why that s not even close to being true. plus, the group trump famously told to stand back and stand by now wants to call him as a witness in its trial tied to january 6th. we ll have an update on senator fetterman, who is in walter reid for treatment of clinical depression. he checked himself in. good morning. welcome to morning joe. it is friday, february 17thment we have the host of way to early, politico s jonathan lemire.
