never indicted or incited an insurrection. he loves his children. he doesn t hide classified documents. vote dernald turmp, and he ll make the united states goodest, as it once one. i approve this message. i didn t know. good morning. welcome to morning joe. it is thursday, december 21st. great to have you with us. also with us, we have white house editor for politico, sam stein, who intimidates people who work for him to say that he is their favorite. we heard that, sam. also, msnbc contributor mike barnicle. washington bureau chief for the usa today, susan page. and staff writer at the atlantic, mark leibovich. president biden made his first remarks yesterday about the colorado supreme court ruling that donald trump is disqualified from that state s 204 primary ballot because of his role in the january 6th attack on the capitol. in milwaukee, biden initially refused to comment but then said this when asked if trump supported an insurrection. well, i think it
tonight i d love to do it right now. stand your butt up then. stand your butt up. jesse: what s going on with these politicians? it s not looting, it s reparations. what is going on? i m not getting an answer. jesse: pauley p takes the stand. plus fox news alert. the secret service over the cocaine investigation. we just got back over 100 pages of documents. the secret service has been lying to you about everything. here s why. when the cocaine was first found, they said it was in the library where the first family lives. then there were reports the cocaine was actually found outside the situation room. investigation has progressed and so they re saying the west executive entrance which, as you noted, is closer to the situation room. jesse: the secret service said, no, it was in a cubby with a lot of foot traffic around it. yes, there are cameras, but that particular cubby was in a blind spot. how do you mistake the library for the situation room and the
Of this. there was some obfiscation back in 2016 about where wikileaks got this data from. our intelligence team said where it was from. they said, no, they had an inside source and several commentators said they had an inside source. i think this now puts that to rest. we know that the original source goes all the way back to the spring well before we knew that wikileaks had contacts with the russians. that means that the russian intelligence had information that they were trying to give to somebody to influence our election. they were trying to peddle so-called dirt on hillary clinton from e-mails from whatever hacks had taken place before wikileaks dumped that out, before we knew publicly about the hack. exactly. and that s really important. my theory, of course, i m theorizing, i m speculating, they probably thought it was best to use as a kind of insider data transfer to someone, and
