Based in this case, he made the decision, its best i not be involved. he handled the guilty plea but thats an administrator hearing without any exercise of discretion. so i cant imagine participating in that hearing will be problematic down the road. >> well have to leave it there. big thanks to all of you. enjoy the weekend. five days to go until the ambassador ambassador special election. president trump will be in pensacola, florida, florida. its about 20 miles from alabama. some say the pr...

The tennessee democrat joined morgan stanley in 2011, after leaving congress in 2007. hes also an msnbc political analyst and a frequent panelist here on "morning joe." msnbc and ford agreed he would not be a guest on the network until the defamation lawsuit he says he will file against his accuser and the planned wrongful termination action against morgan stanley are settled. fords attorney say theyve yet to determine the amount of damages they will be seeking. still ahead on "morning joe," p...

Fact that he said its with irony im here resigning yet the man in the white house has been accused on tape of bragging about sexual assault and also included in that, alabama candidate saying this is the man who has the full support of his republican party and he is one that preyed on young girls. certainly very interesting that franken is using this speech to take jabs not only at president trump, but potentially on a new senator that could be joining based on the results of the al b bama elect...

Of the caucus now having called on him to resign. >> do you think democrats realize they would be limited in their response to roy moore and they were losing the moral high ground. >> i dont think thats what led to this. based on the conversations ive had with people with knowledge how this came to be, the democratic women senators in particular have been very troubled by the accusations against franken and were giving him some space to kind of do the right thing. and i think when you had the se...

The right to face your accuser, just as run amounted. there can be no justice without transparency. democrats have abandoned that ancient rate, because they sense a political gain doing so. losing franken right now cost them nothing. another, likely more liberal democrat, will be voted in to take his place. a vote to expel way more will be a lot easier to hold if democras dont have to account for al franken. this isnt principal. in fact, it is the most cynical kind of politics, and if you dont b...

In the coming weeks, i will be resigning as a member of the united states senate. i of all people am aware there is some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of sexual assault sits in the oval office and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the senate with the full support of his party. >> 35 democratic lawmakers have called on franken to step down. the news comes three weeks after the first accuser had stepped forward....

Disgusting pig as well. >> you dont believe the accusers? >> alisyn, what i said was those allegations need to be taken absolutely seriously. and what roy moore has to do is he has to answer to the voters. what al franken is going to do finally, which is a real profile in courage, is resign from the u.s. senate because another accuser, his eighth one, came out yesterday. >> corey, next topic. steve bannon. a man you know well. this week he went after mitt romney for not fulfilling military servi...

When you have pretty much the entire party turn against you, i think its hard to fight against that. look, i think what happened, based on conversations that ive had with people who sort of know the story of how this came to be, was a lot of the women senators had been very upset about this, the women democratic senators, and were kind of giving him the space to work through this. then when we had the sixth accuser come out, it kind of got to this place of, okay, weve given you time to kind of d...

Not run. we shall see. speaking of members of congress, a former member of congress, former congressman and msnbc political analyst harold ford jr. fired from morgan stanley after a misconduct probe there. huffington post broke the story after speaking with the accuser, a woman who worked with ford in a professional capacity not a morgan stanley employee, this happened according to the huffington post alleged ford harassed her forcibly grabbed her one evening in manhattan leading a security guar...

Thank you. >> harris: a stunning move on capitol hill from the senate floor. embattled democratic senator al franken taking to the floor moments ago and up until just seconds now, announcing his resignation after an eighth accuser, a woman, has come forward with sexual misconduct allegations against al franken. a former democratic staff wrote in the atlantic alleges that franken groped her during a media matters party celebrating then president obamas inauguration in 2009. but al franken has den...
