The Department of Justice filed a misconduct claim yesterday against several Federal judges in Minnesota after they publicly critiqued the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. MS NOW senior legal reporter Lisa Rubin joins Morning Joe to discuss what she calls the move a ‘threat to the rule of law.’ MS NOW anchor and chief legal reporter Ari Melber also joins the conversation, and they also discuss reports that the White House has removed CNN from the press pool covering President Trump‘s trip to Texas and Oklahoma today, escalating their dispute with the network and a free press.

They don’t want the truth to be reported. Dictators always do this.

Banning media outright means Trump has lots of stuff to hide and does not want to be questioned, because he expects from everyone unconditional acceptance and praise.
Clear message to all Americans to consider when voting at the mid-terms.

None of the media should put him on air until he is connected to a polygraph.

It still amazes me that people will sell their very souls in service to that criminal in the WH!

The further society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.

Again, Donald Trump's crimes and corruption are made possible by the willing collusion, conspiracy and complicity of the Republican party. Republican crimes are made possible by the willing collusion of corporate right wing media to cover up and vilify those that would seek accountability. They are all in this together. Any media that challenges Republican misconduct is considered the enemy by this Administration and they will be attacked. Any attempts to shed light on this Administrations efforts to rig the elections for Republicans will come under direct fire.

Is Trump trying to strong arm Ellison to give him money again?

I really have to give donny credit he is proving how the most powerful country in the world can be brought down and how a cult can be blinded into following. As a honorable discharged non commissioned officer I HATE WHAT HE IS DOING

Donald took out full page News Paper adds calling for the death penalty for the Central Park Five. Black and Latino boys falsely accused of a heinous crime. They were eventually exonerated.
He never apologized.
As all his pathological and sociopathicisms.

the only ones that violate the rule of law is Donald Trump's fraudulent DOJ and Donald Trump's fraudulent FBI

When the Justice Department attacks the judges just for
upholding the rule of law, we have officially crossed into
authoritarian behavior. They serve Trump, not the country.
Vote every single enabler OUT! 🌊💪

I woke to Trump on the radio as a teen. Imagine a fake billionaire, so cheap that he pretends to be his own publicist, named John Barron, that calls local NYC radio talk shows. You can hear John Barron here on YT; it's obviously Trump.
