'SO forced'! Rachel Maddow's over-the-top mockery of FISA memo is 'outrageously awkward' [video]

The FISA memo was released yesterday, and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, of “omg I’ve got Trump’s tax forms” notoriety, went a bit overboard trying to describe how the memo is a bunch of nothing:

Maddow was accused of trying a little too hard:

If the memo is a nothing burger, does that mean the Democrats don’t feel the need to release their own memo? Where is their stance now on “ This memo could threaten national security and should not be released” ? Just asking for a friend.?

That reaction was so over-the-top it’s almost as if she knows there’s something damaging about the memo.
