Chuck Todd Can't Plead Ignorance Of Fox News Lying

So Chuck Todd has conservative Stephen Moore and reporter Kasie Hunt on Meet the Press.

Stephen Moore is pre-outraged by the Michael Cohen raid, following the Fox News talking point that the FBI is somehow in "collusion" with the deep state and violating Cohen's "rights" in taking evidence from his home.

CHUCK TODD: Steve Moore, how concerned should Trump supporters be about Michael Cohen?

STEPHEN MOORE: Look, I thought the raid on Cohen's office was a bridge too far for this investigation.

CHUCK TODD: Do we know that, though?

STEPHEN MOORE: Unless Democrats can convince Republicans that there's something here, then I don't think the investigation's going to--

CHUCK TODD: Right.
