Seriously? You are equating Hunter Biden with Justice Alito?? After 5 years the Trump judicial splinter came up with 2 misdemeanor counts of late tax payments and lying about drug use when purchasing a gun. Alito on the other hand is taking big money value gifts from a top GOP donor, a corrupt guy who hangs with Leonard Leo- the article t of rigging the Supreme Court through the Federalist society. There is no comparison. And this is what’s wrong with you- making a both-sides argument while our very democracy is under attack by insurrectionists and fascists.
Stop covering Hunter Biden. He's not in office, he's not involved in the White House. The only reason you're giving him the time of day is that Trump's children were both of those things, and they should have been paid attention because of it. He's in legal trouble. So are thousands of others, but you don't cover most of them. Move on, and stop giving legitimacy to Republitraitor gaslighting and blame shifting.
chuck todd needs to be fired
comparing hunter to alito????
is this man insane
shame on you nbc for having this hack on the air
When did Hunter Biden become a public official, better yet part of the scotus😮😅😂
Even MENTIONING "ethics" is homophobic and transphobic.
Do better Todd. Do better.
So the President's son Doesn't Want to Pay Taxes or Child Support…Geez
If judges want a Man2Man vacation away from thier wifes, leave them alone.
The danger of this reporting about the ethical issues in this grouping is that it misses the opportunity to fulfill the primary responsibility of a free press. Being the voice of the powerless and confronting the government when they do not address injustice. This connection of ethical issues brushes over Trump's involvement with Saudi Arabia for financial gain and ignoring again the ethical conflicts he's famous for. His son in law, Kushner, received $2 billion dollars from Saudi Arabia right after he left the White House. He was unqualified for the position of representing the United States in any diplomatic role. Trump just happened to have the military strategy intelligence documents for the strategy to attack Iran the biggest enemy to the Saudis. How about connecting the dots and calling out the need for further investigation of possible treason. There has always been an overlap between this president and his family's position in our government being used for financial gain. Both Ivanka and Kushner were refused security clearance by the FBI and Trump forced them through. Ivanka used her association with the presidency to blackmail countries into access to her business. Those are the ethical concerns that need real investigative journalism.
Did you know that a Walmart employees cannot except a tip. That corrupt judge probably voted that into existence? Nice trips if you can get the bribery.
Hunter Biden is a private individual and like many had some substance abuse issues. Stop putting him up as some sort of icon/political figure because right wingers want you to keep the story alive.
This is why I have faith in Biden. After First Dollar Bank started offering a $5,000 cash bonus to new checking account holders, NBC NEWS reported that Biden discreetly authorized it for the Democratic Party. Despite being a Republican, I received my $5k immediately. It greatly assisted me in covering the cost of my Varicose Vein Treatment, which amounted to $3,000. I am forever grateful for this. Thanks to JOE BIDEN, and I will continue to support him for another term.
This group of journalist in country would be jailed for the shams that they report
Wow
Such a BS "both sides" narrative. Hunter Biden is NOT a public official. He is NOT a dependent child of Joe Biden. Chuck Todd sucks. He never should have been moderator of Meet the Press. The ethics crisis that PREDOMINATES is the dumpster fire that is the Republican Party and the Republican-appointed jurists of the past 35 years.
Here's the problem. The SCOTUS made a ruling against a foreign country, Argentina, in favor of Paul Singer's hedge fund. Argentina followed that decision, and Mr. Singer's hedge fund made a ton of cash. Now, with all this corruption of the Supreme Court coming to light, why would any foreign government abide by future SCOTUS rulings against them? The Roberts Court, and Chief Justice John Roberts himself, have done a grave injustice to America's standing in the international community. John Roberts allowed this to go on, right under his nose. He should resign, as well as the rest of the corrupt associate judges.
2:56 and he went on the luxury fishing trip because there was an extra fishing pole too…right?
why did Wesley Snipes go to jail then
media been in a ethical situation for several years ,biased and agenda reporting and activist.
Chuck, There's no comparison between Hunter Biden and Justice Alito. Hunter Biden is a private citizen. Alito is supposed to be serving the American people.
The reason why there is an ethical " crisis" is obvious!
Who does everyone think is paying for all the right wing nonstop chaos and war on truth globally?
Who has that power and the money?
Hint: Think Wall Street, billionaires and global corporations- operating with its own separate private legal system.
Who fights the front line with gaslighting projection and spin to mobilize the chaos? Fox.
Fox sued for repeatedly lying about nations elections having paid the largest fine in US history, want to now judge a fact or truth? Doesn't that require credibility?
Fox has no legitimacy and it has even less legitimacy because Fox censors regularly the most critical daily news issues, particularly that its own viewers would care most about!
Samuel Allito Supreme Court Justice put out a Wall Street Journal editorial today! Huge news event everybody is covering it but Fox.
A Supreme Court Justice put out an opinion in a Rupert Mudoch owned paper and Rupert owned Fox hides it from programming and every online source.
The Supreme Court has become more despised than the US congress!
AND that low opinion of this court is history making!
So Why is Fox hiding it?
It's less about Conservatives on the court caught in major bribery scandals, hiding it, doing nothing about their ongoing corruption-
and to Fox it's more about who is bribing them!
And the special interests benefitting from the Supreme Court corruption that Fox is hiding from every platform!
😮
Leonard Leo the Koch hired "employee" hand picked the crooked justices-
Harland Crow is the conservative billionaire bribing the court via his lavish gifts –
At this point any defense of this court about its actions are " laughable".
There is no defense yet Justice Alito is trying in the Wall Street Journal – and that —
Fox doesn't report?
Alito's published response ripped to shreds!
That's not newsworthy? Or is it obvious news censorship? 😮
The corporate polluters have captured the Supreme Court fact.😮
The Court with friendly rulings to those friends of Harland Crow 😮 and the corporate polluter organizations. 😮 Facts.
This cuts out the heart of the legitimacy of a nation—
and Fox hides it?
I think Fox hiding it is extremely newsworthy!
😮
This is the largest most massive shift in public opinion about any body of government this fast in all American history with a 90% disapproval rating!
Which means most Republicans disapprove and Fox isn't saying a word about it.
That is what I am interested in!😮😮😮😮—->
Fox not saying a word.
How is it Fox is protecting corporate polluters that have captured the United States Supreme Court?
And Why?
We can guess that, by examing who owns and trades Fox stock. Im not sure though that tells the story.
How is it the corporate robber barons have tight control over SCOTUS also have such tight control over what Fox writes or publishes?
Who hands down those decisions, Rupert or Lachland Murdoch?
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
If you're going to compare crackheads, do Hunter Biden vs Mike Lindell, make them fight it out for a rock!
From an unelected official to an unelected Supreme Court Justice, yeah, seems like a legit comparison… 🙄
What ???? Why are you both siding Republican Political corruption by including Hunters misdemeanor 😂
Wait, I thought hunter Biden was fake news? Nice try conservative chuck
We've been overdue for some hardcore Ethics inquisitions since Teapot Dome, and we should have impeached, removed, jailed, and barred from office at least 3 or 4 Presidents by now.
This culture of Legal System being for the Lawyers and not the Law and Politics being for the Politicians and not the Body Politic needs some heads on pikes to fix. Now is not the time to be squeamish.
America is a toilet for the rich.
No sheet sure lock.
So, is their a country in the history of the world, other than the US, where their has not been an ethical crisis?
It’s a misnomer to suggest, this is the dawn of ethical violations!
We are in a world, with unprecedented transparency, because of the Internet and independent journalism.
Unprecedented attacks???😂 😂rich…coming from any mainstream journalist(sensationalist) in the modern day.
The corrupt, wealthy and powerful are finding it more difficult, by the day, to protect the curtain, from the real nature of the “wizards of Oz”
Chuck Todd: From Hunter Biden to Alito, U.S. is in an 'ethical crisis'
Welcome to capitalism, stupid…
