Trump's Communications With Foreign Leader Part Of Whistleblower Complaint | The Last Word | MSNBC
Trump promised Putin to lift Russian sanctions!
@Jeffrey Meade Well you swallowed anything your father stuck out.
@Darrin Myers
Obama Hillary Mueller.🤪
@Jeffrey Meade I would believe any media outlet except Fox of course over anything Trump says.
@Darrin Myers good morning
The US is the largest but mesdy indeed. I am old enough to remember Prrsident Pres. LBJ and Nixon. Trump is a necessary to show what had been happening he is not the first but he and his folk will wear the consequences. Believe this NOTHING IS NEW UNDER THE SUN A PRICE HAS TO BE PAID I DO NOT CARE IF IT IS BUSH CHENEY BIDEN CLINTON AND CLINTON OBAMA PENCE TRUMP. You will see wrong done unto you. Law of the land.
I would like to add if Clinyon would objected it would have not mattered. Remember who was the majority in Congress and Senate
John Bolton Snitched????
Yep🤣🤣🤣
Good point? 😁
The Intelligence Community Inspector Genetal found the complaint credible and urgent, and this was regarding Trump promising one of five leaders something. Which leader? I’m putin my finger on a comrade. My opinion.
sam pjk
You should putin more than just your finger on it. Putin money on it, will make you richer!
Draft-Dodger wants to be an Oligarch …………………
You are assuming the call was on a secure White House phone and not one of his easily hacked burner phones. IF so, the person on the other end of that call could be anyone, and every credible foreign intelligence service on the planet knows every word of that call.
ruth depew my guess is it was on his favourite unsecured iPhone.
I am gonna bet on the call being with either Netanyahoo or MBS/King AlSaud.
I find it appalling When I watch Fox commentators. Like Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Rush Limbaugh. Totally disregarding the news facts put out by every other major news Networks. Defending and candy coating everything Trump and his administration have obstructed. And his politics of corruption and outright lies. They directly appeal to his white nationalist base of bigots and racist. Whom delightfully and completely follow and believe each and every “bull s**t word they udder.
Lying fox propaganda sewer are Russian GRU Kremlin enablers and traitors to the American people.
You’re preaching to the choir. Go on to Fox and point out their lies to Trump’s basers. It’s great fun.
I love Trump. I am not white. I am not a racist. A dead body was placed behind my house by drug dealers recently. The President is getting rid of illegal aliens who bring in dope by preventing them from getting into our country.
Lou Dobbs rarely comes up for air.
@Tom Mathew Total lie. I work in criminal law, and Trump is nothing but a stupid distraction for victims.
Trump Promised Putin he would pull out of Syria , he did try to pull military out , this would open up for Putin to do Pipeline deal with Syrian leader!
we should be out of Syria an Obama war
Trump stop doing USA BUSINESS on Twitter. The insults and threats to other countries on Twitter are dangerous!
Its way more than that.Trump is a RUSSIAN Spy Duh.
DAM my bad I really didn’t mean duh.
YOU DIDNT CRY WHEN HILLARY AND HOMOBAMA WERE NEGOTIATING WITH TERRORIST SECRETLY AND EVEN PAYING THEM BILLIONS UNDERCOVER.
The motherfxxxer is an asset/puppet of Russia…………who then do u think the promise was made to?
This must be connected to the spy machine they found near by WH recently and some people were listening to trump’s phones for last 2 years
If the new DNI doesn’t do the right thing he should go to jail. Where’s his patriotism? We need a new government and fast.
Millionaires who do not have fkn clue about govt.or politics running our country. And BOZO the clown as the leader.
So Trump talked with a foreign leader? OMG! We must arrest him immediately! Give it up morons.
@Jeffrey Meade He committed TREASON. Do you know what is the punishment for treason under United States Federal Law?
@Jeffrey Meade He did more than just talk to a leader. He divulged government secrets or the whistle blower would not have said anything. Our country is not safe with this clown as President.
Only Traitors are placed into positions by Trump.
Obviously, this is why Trump has publicly demeaned our intelligence agencies from the beginning… so he could claim theyre bad when they come for him. It’s standard practice for a would be authoritarian. He’s done the same with the media and Congress
Now its time for the speaker of the house is to step to the podium and call an immediate removal of office for Treason. This is an immediate case for the High Courts. and should over rule the President. That”s if our Laws really work
U. S. A. AGAIN GRIM, GRIM, GRIM, HOW MUCH OF THIS DICTATORSHIP WILL WE WITHSTAND? BEFORE POINT OF NO RETURN.
Remember what happened to Caesar. We need a Brutus.
Benjaman Zambrano he has corrupted all the institutions of the government in our faces. The attorney general is in his hip pocket. The congress is unable to check him. 60% of the country is anti impeachment because nobody read the Mueller report. The constitution is out dated it never anticipated terrorist acts like 9/11 and the new world it would usher in nor did the writers of the constitution anticipate a president like Trump with sprawling business interests and a penchant for this level of corruption. Giving this fool broad unlimited powers leads to further decay of all branches of our government. Guys we are in trouble and people are watching football.n
And why does no one do anything about trump. Ridiculous
It is clear that the whistle blower needs to go directly to the House Intelligence Committee. If the White House will not release this whistle blower report, we the people know that it is quite damning (impeachable). The longer the White House obstructs the legal process, the more guilty the White House looks.
Sounds more and more like a dictator. And a dumb dictator at that. Donny know what is waiting for him if he loses 2020…we know he has no morals… CAREFUL everyone.
If it’s this damned serious, it sounds like, out of every other thing he’s done, an impeachable offense. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!! Get this CLOWN out!
NO FACTS, JUST STUPID ACTS FROM DEMON RAT CLOWNS.
NONE IS IMPEACHABLE YOU SILLY TWIT.
Praise to the wonderfully brave men and women journalists who have dedicated their lives to keep us informed!!
GET OUT AND VOTE 2020
Get yourself a hald-decent constitution and an independent judiciary. Then all these people would be in prison, possibly for life, for treason.
I do hope the Whistleblower is in witness protection or we will have another Epstein Mystery
The whistleblower needs to go to the House Intelligence Committee and say what he knows. No president is above the law.
