In light of the news that Representative Chris Collins (R-NY) is being charged with insider trading, Joe Scarborough is blasting President Trump and saying his promise to “drain the swamp” was clearly bogus.

Collins was one of the first congressional figures to support Trump during the 2016 election, and that fact isn’t being lost on political observers now that Collins is being investigated for securities fraud, wire fraud and false statements. When Scarborough went over this today on Morning Joe, he argued that between this and all of the shadiness from Michael Cohen, Wilbur Ross, Scott Pruitt and Tom Price, Trump has only succeeded in making the D.C. swamp even swampier than before.

“Talk about the swamp! It’s now up to Trump’s neck,” Scarborough said. “There is such a culture of corruption there. Somebody yesterday said that Collins had to feel picked on when you had Wilbur Ross, in their words, doing insider trading at a pace the guy thought he only had two weeks to live…Just a culture of corruption and, as they say, the fish rots from the head.”
