Sean Hannity Goes After Joe Scarborough on Twitter

Joe Scarborough asked what I thought was a fair question:

The DNC is screaming about their emails being hacked -- or leaked, as someone who claims to know the source of the leaks insist -- so it's a fair question to ask why the Democrats don't seem upset at all about a leak that hurts a Republican.

Anyway, Scarborough replied to people calling him hypocritical himself for having reported on the Wikileaks email releases while questioning this leak, although that's a kind of bullshit equivalency -- we know that Wikileaks' possession of the emails was illegal. And people are asking who gave the emails to Wikileaks. In fact, it seems to be all the media is asking about lately.

So asking Scarborough "Why didn't you ask about where those documents came from?" is silly. The question is being asked a lot, I assume Scarborough himself has asked about it a lot.

In this case, we definitely have someone in our own government or intelligence community leaking a classified document for political purposes.

Is that not also worthy of asking about?

I guess not.

Anyway, for reasons I don't really understand -- maybe because Scarborough said something like "I've always said Trump is wrong about Russia," though I sense there's more of a backstory to this -- Sean Hannity decided to let loose some gossip:

Meanwhile, Trump has released a sort of surrender-ish statement about his briefing on Russian hacks. He talks around the issue, but seems to abandon his previous central contention that Russia had nothing to do with anything.
