House Intel Committee's Empty Vault? | Morning Joe | MSNBC
In a 2018 segment from MSNBC's "Morning Joe," the release of the Nunes memo was humorously compared to Geraldo Rivera’s infamous live event when he opened Al Capone’s vault, expecting a grand reveal but ultimately finding it empty. This video brings to light discussions surrounding the memo's intended shock value, suggesting it would reveal criminal wrongdoing and shake public confidence.
The host, likened the anticipation of the memo to a major investigative event, stating, “We're talking about potential crimes, we're talking about people being charged and going to jail.” Yet, as the segment unfolds, the reality sets in: the memo did not deliver the explosive findings many had anticipated.
The host expressed disappointment, noting that despite the hype surrounding its release, the memo lacked substantial evidence regarding the Russia investigation. It became clear that the unveiling of the memo was not as impactful as initially promoted, drawing further parallels to Rivera’s event - where the promise of discovery turned into an anti-climactic moment.
### Key Points
