As the Morning Joe panel discusses the ongoing Russia probe and how Facebook ads were used to target specific states in the 2016 election, veteran columnist Mike Barnicle explains: “Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook have been dragged kicking and screaming to the edge of transparency over about two or three months. At first they were living in denial and public denial that ‘we had nothing to do with this. We didn’t know this was going on. We’re not sure this was going on.’ But, now, the reality has dawned on them. And there’s another reality that occurred yesterday….You saw Dick Burr, a Republican, and you saw Mark Warner, a Democrat, standing shoulder to shoulder talking about an issue that effects the entire nation, our country. It was encouraging to finally see some sense of bipartisanship in this polarized town.” Listen to more of the conversation about Senate Intelligence Committee chairman Richard Burr (R-NC) and vice chair Mark Warner (D-VA) announcing that they still have a lot of work to do regarding the Russia probe, including learning more about the extent of Moscow’s impact on the 2016 election and whether any Trump campaign members colluded in the interference.
