Maya Wiley needs her own show on MSNBC.

If I had to pick a role model to aspire to in 33 years (our age difference), she is the number one pundit for me to pick. Such a whip smart, poised, assured, powerful female voice. I just love her.

I enjoy her commentary because while she is very smart, she knows how to explain things so non legal folks can understand her point. She also has a smile that can light up the room!

If she promises not to interview Sam Nunberg or Jerome Corsi, or pretend to be a rapper, she could have Melber's time slot.

I believe she may have been on this afternoon, perhaps Ari Melber, and then she was on the 11th Hour. I found a segment, and she starts around 6:58.

I thought I'd seen her on earlier Thursday, too. Just saw her Twitter, and it looks as if she had been on several times before the 11th Hour:

"I’m headed back to @MSNBC for round 4. Joining @11thHour with the steadfast and sturdy @BWilliams."

They DO keep her busy at MSNBC!

That segment where she told Nunberg not to refuse to appear before Mueller's GJ was amazing.
