Maddow Accuses Comey of Casting ‘Aspersions’ on AG Lynch’s Reputation
The second high-profile stop for former FBI Director James Comey on his book tour Thursday was MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show.

MSNBC Descends Into a 'Wag the Dog' Obsession Over Trump and Syria
It turns out that Rachel Maddow's speculation, articulated twice on Friday, that President Donald Trump ordered air strikes in Syria "because of scandal" is not limited at MSBNC to one far-left host.
