Former Florida congressman, former Republican Party hack, former Trumpanzee amigo Joe Scarborough first pounded and pounded and pounded on the term "Moscow Mitch" on his MSNBC morning show this past Friday.

by NoahKnowing what we do about Trump, it's easy to imagine that, right now as you read this, Trump is asking Kellyanne Conway or some other Russian asset on his staff how he can get all of those Russians that are supposedly leaving Venezuela jobs in his administration and on his campaign staff, maybe even the Federal Elections Commission.

But I was wrong. Trump had no idea what Kelly was up to.
