Govt. Whistleblower Heard Trump Say Something Troubling To A Foreign Leader | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
If this is what it sounds like, then Trump has put us all in danger for his own gain. This is betrayal.
Alan Brookes Precisely, the entire Helsinki ordeal was Trump throwing America under the bus.
He was positively salivating, all he wants is his name plastered on a tall building in Moscow.
@Alan Brookes Don’t forget the Russians in the oval office fiasco. donald sharing classified information. They are probably still sweeping for the bugs the Russians left.
Because MSNBC has been totally reliable so far with their reporting on Trump’s relationship with Russia. Does this new agency like watching their ratings plummet and their credibility in the gutter?
We don’t need a whistle blower to tell us Trump is corrupt. There’s a reason why he filed 6 bankruptcies and is hiding his taxes.
@Silence DoGood congressional oversight is very constitutional fyi….he is required to operate with 3 EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. His frivolous lawsuits are being dismissed 1 by 1. Id suggest looking up the nixon tapes…..nixon claimed executive privilege too…..the national interest of transparency and faith in the government over rule executive privilege. Its been decided 40 years ago
Dolt Daft Dunce Deplorable Donald Trump that’s true.
Jumping to collusions I see…I mean conclusions. Hmmmm
Imagine being so triggered you make your whole profile about Trump.
@Rick L Imagine be so stupid, that you believe Donald Trump?
45* is an unAmerican traitor. Always was, always will be.
@Rude Dude You misspelled….
“Dark” turd…..
There, I fixed it for you….
You’re welcome…..
@Moses VII”Sand” – would not be the correct ‘cavity’ to hide ones head.
@Dany’el you’ve tried injecting sense into an internet troll war, you fool you, that’ll never work 🙄
We have no democracy or justice if he doesn’t go to prison *and* have his assets seized. Trump didn’t ‘make america great.’ He revealed that the myth of ‘America’ is a sham. // I can’t imagine what this was, but surely Trump will play around in the ‘gray area’ of his typically nebulous rhetoric, and claim it didn’t mean what it sounded like. Another “Tim/Apple” situation…. It feels too naive to even hope this was a Putin tit/tat deal, where Trump promised to do something for Papi Vlad, in exchange for 2020 Election nonsense. I can’t imagine Trump would ever be so stupid as to discuss something like that on the phone. That’s what golf courses, Jareds, and Manaforts are for.
@Dave Schultz your a child
Maybe he will weaponize government against his political opponents, just like Obama tried to do. Only difference is that Trump will not fail, like Obama did !!
You Americans turned almost every industry in the world into a marketing competition then are terribly triggered when the marketing master Trumpy boi used this to become President, you then REEEE in outrage. Its so funny how you idiots did this to yourselves.
The US President is a reality TV personality. It is expected he was videoed with prostitutes in Russia.
What is the suprise here?
@CableKnitter No. It’s money. It’s always about money with the Dumpster. He already owes Putin and most likely the Saudis both of whom have bailed him out in the past like his daddy did. He’s also trying to make deals that fill his own coffers. He said as much this week when he talked about the billions that the Saudis bring INTO America. Hello, red flag. He didn’t mean that the money would benefit America although one could interpret it that way which would be a mistake. He meant himself. He always MEANS himself! The Saudis have already spent a lot of money buying condos in Trump Tower and staying at his hotels. And that is under investigation. Trump is using his position to benefit his businesses and getting away with it. Why would he stop when there are no consequences? I really have a difficult time understanding how the Cult members are ok with this. Don’t they even see the dangers to national security? Or is that too sophisticated a concept for them? Connect the dots people.
yawn, go crash another economy, you moron boomer
@Bucky Pinata Trump doesn’t lie, Trump doesn’t know Barron is his son. He doesn’t legally have to show his taxes. I can do it too
@Pamela Wiles Do what?
Surprise is that failed investigative journalism reporting on Russia Gate hasn’t sunk this aids ridden news agency.
It’s not an administration, it’s an abomination.
At least you guys have a dream which is like the Russia thing you got nothing but at least you got something to talk about it’s never going to happen
Its a regime
Trump regime
Its an Empire.
kind of like your life!
Trump said he trust putin over our intelligence community in Helsinki. Cant be a bigger traitor than that. Hang Trump already.#UnitedStatesOfTheSovietUnion
@Ronald Harback it was a joke. Chill mate.
Jumping to collusions I see…I mean conclusions. Hmmmm
@Len Ovo shut up.
I think the lefties are the only ones keen to remake the USSR in the USA, Weren’t the conservatives against socialism?
Sounds like trump gave away government secrets to Putin
Looks like we have a new Benedict Arnold !!
Benedict Donald.
Prior generations would call folks ‘Benedict Arnold’ in regards to betrayal and treason. Future generations will call folks ‘Donald Trump’ for the same.
@James Ricker – I think that theory needs to grow some legs. Who knows how many phone calls President National Security Threat made to Putin or Kim when he thought Bolton wasn’t listening?
Get that traitor out of the white house
lock him up
Mitchell Boykin ………….. Fascist traitors need to be taken out .
In 2020 get out and vote!
You should go to DC and Protest Mitchell how will we carry on living if you are not protesting Trump 24/7
As long as he gets paid from the highest bidder, Trump dont care what dirt he brings into the Oval Office, Camp David or into the U.S.A
@M!STER D thats why all of hillaries closest allies are in prison or heading there right? The clinton foundation facing rico charges…..oh wait thats dump
Jumping to collusions I see…I mean conclusions. Hmmmm
Yes he need that money to feed the family. Could imagine him risking his Reelection for some $$ when already a billionaire, not like he cares far more about his image and brand name or anything.
Trump wall corrupt contracts
https://www.constructiondive.com/news/losing-bidders-protest-could-stall-nearly-1b-in-border-wall-contracts/553708/
Once again, Trump is not just a threat to U.S. but the entire world …. they need to remove this insane person off the presidency before is too late!!!!
Vortex Scale Already too late
Unfortunately he’s got a well trained lap dog as a second.
@fotha Dan Pence is the puppet master. He would be even worse by multiple magnitudes. if Pence was in the chair he would start WW3 right off the bat. And he would call it a religious war giving his faithful troops carte blanche to do whatever it took to crush those they disagree with. The GOP really have cocked things up this time. 2020 can’t come fast enough.
I’m not even American so no horse in this race but you guys have been saying this since 2016 and nothing major has really gone wrong. Probably less war crimes by the states under Trump than most of your previous leaders like Bush and his Iraq war and Dronebama with all those strikes . . .
He probably does it every day lol. We don’t know what’s happening 90% of the time.
100%*
@Annnora C he ran and won. The media can do what they want
World war 3
The 2020 election may be 14 months away but that’s dog years in the Trump presidency. Just enough time for him to do something catastrophic and irrevocable.
bronzecap thank you. Yes we need to vote him out of the office but he needs to be taken out NOW before he does something worse. He damages us every day.
I’ve been thinking the same thing. Let’s hope he just don’t.
Maybe he will weaponize government against his political opponents, just like Obama tried to do. Only difference is that Trump will not fail, like Obama did !!
Like getting engaged to Putin?
When a President commits treason—-but you can’t indict a sitting President. Override this ridiculous policy.
@Da Choppah I’m not sure you know how to read. Over 140 mil came from guistra over a year before she was even SoS. As to your answer, trump has already taken way more than that just from double dipping for his vacation trips. Regardless, I’m not the one that has said anything about trump until now. I’ve only countered your claim about uranium one. Either way, if everything you said was true, then it would be known to trump and barr could easily lock her up. Unless it’s not illegal. So know I pose a question: why isnt she locked up? Which is more likely: they are/were friends ( we know they were), or it’s fake news?
And since you keep bringing up trump and money. You do know hes selling billions in military gear to Saudi Arabia right? You know the country that most of the 911 hijackers and bin laden were from.
@Da Choppah 2 wrongs don’t make it right. Trump is as bad as Hillary. Sorry, worse.
@Lez A Bwhahahaha. Bad as serial treasonous Hillary ? You are a child.
WTF Trump. This is our country not yours! You have no right to promise anything to a foreign leader without congress and the America people.
@Mark G. oh I understand that but it’s still against the law. It’s just that the Congress is not doing their job like Mitch McConnell to name a few.
Donald Trump has Article 2. He doesn’t talk about it much and most people don’t know about Article 2, but Article 2 says that he can do anything he wants. MAGA = Morons Are Governing America!!!
Technically it is his country and your country. Its not my country but its hilarious how triggered he has made you
Rick L You won’t think it’s funny when you’re choking on our new clean are laws.
Wasn’t there also a mention, in that whistleblower’s report, of a “promise” between Trump and a foreign leader? ,
What the heck he’s talked with Putin, Kim, and the other dictators in private.
@Jeffrey Meade Schiff isn’t the whistleblower… its a member of the DNI. IF this isn’t enough to worry you beyond partisan politics, you should prob ask yourself what is.
Totally reliable MSNBC anonymous inside sources confirm they were comparing PeePee size.
Trump is the single greatest threat to our national security.
Let’s all have a collective “groan” in unison, ok ?….
Everybody together now !….
Sounds like Trump is selling out America to the highest bidder.
like every state and every town and every private home are just so many hotel rooms to be rented out.
Amerika Soul”d” to the highest bidder?
which are obviously Israel and Saudi Arabia, wanting the US to fight a war against Iran for them.
This is what happens when you elect a DRAFT DODGING NAZI CON MAN as president.
