MSNBC’s Hardball host Chris Matthews reluctantly waded into the Russia uranium deal story on Tuesday’s show, blasting the calls for a special counsel to investigate the “closed case” Obama-era deal and mocked the story as one that “the right-wing wants you to think is the biggest scandal since the Rosenbergs.”
What’s intriguing was Matthews did nothing to directly refute the story with specific evidence or address the new stories published last month by The Hill’s John Solomon and Alison Spann about the Russian attempts to gain access to the inner circle of Hillary Clinton’s State Department.
In the first of two teases for the full segment, Matthews seemed to question the veracity of the Department of Justice revelation that they’re “considering whether to recommend a special counsel” on “the uranium deal, the one the right-wing wants you to think is the biggest scandal since the Rosenbergs.”
