Breaking: Trump Aide Caves In Impeachment Suit Against Trump | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
How far is Trump going to let this go? Just resign and face the consequences of your actions.
@Hugh MacDonald Trump Says He Called Tim Cook the Right Name But We Just Didn’t Hear It. https://time.com/5549015/trump-calls-tim-cook-tim-apple/.
He doesn’t need to admit anything, they just want to stop him from winning 2020 elections, but he will win, just wait!
If Trump does not get another term he will face trial for multiple counts of obstruction of justice.
He will not resign.
tRump is freaking crazy if he thinks all his people will go to prison to cover for him.
@Richard Alexander Mark Twain also said — “If Christ came around today, He would NOT be a Christian.”
@Better English T-rump never thinks.
@Jelton Inc. Yes and that someone is amoral t-rump-stooge, Barr.
@Mimi Brown People dumb enough to associate with the criminally insane orange clown have gone to prison by default.
I really want to see slime ball mulvaney in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit. I hope I get to see that. What a bunch of criminals. This has got to be the worst crew ever assembled by any one and that the American people get to see this unfolding is sort of obscene. I was at a party when I was 18 where a friend of mine murdered another friend of mine by stabbing him in the neck with a broken wine bottle. I feel sort of like that with the trump administration devolution.
I can imagine Trump in handcuffs being dragged out of the white house crying spitting and screaming Mexico is going to pay for this.
Ellen Kortman yeah but that is the feeling I get watching trumps people defend him and accept any and all bad behaviors exhibited by the president and his inner circle like mulvaney, Pompeo, and his other defenders, acceptors and enablers. My friend who committed the murder went to jail for a long time, the other kid bled out before help arrived. I stood there in shock and the left and gave my witness statement to police the next day. My dad was a co- in a neighboring city nd very supportive. After all this is the president who said I could shoot somebody on 5th Ave and nobody could do anything about it. Reassuring no?
@Juan Ramirez I have such hope that millions of young people are going to actually register this year and upset this entire election! I’m almost 65 and I get such wonderful vibes from younger generations. Not many dummies in that lot but typically they’ve not voted. I’m moving to Florida next week, and I fully intend to volunteer at Warren HQ down there! It’s one of the battleground states where the Blue Wave MUST win! In 1976, I participated in a “Get the vote out” campaign for Jimmy Carter, and hey … he won! 🙂 We’ve got a whole year to do our best to make SURE people vote and vote smart! No one LIKES to be political dummies but so many older folks actually are! The trick, I believe, is to give them space to come to terms with being taken for a ride by con artists, and for not paying real attention to DC for the last four decades. They’re ashamed of themselves. We’ve got to give them some space to both forgive themselves AND to vote smart this time around! For many boomers, like me, it could be one of their last elections and I believe most really want to do what’s right for their country. Or at least, I HOPE they do!! I hope they can put their pride to the side, and do the right thing.
@Terry Licia I’m 61 this year & doing ALL I can to talk to & motivate EVERYONE I can. Folks have gotten complacent over the decades but the current dumpster fire had gotten their attention. I’m seeing a real disgust with the status quo & it’s about time! When I get the “ok boomer” comment, I remind people that judging a soul based on age is as dumb as judging character based on melanin content or place of birth. No one can decide those qualities but EVERYONE can decide to think, learn & ACT. Peace to you sister!
Everybody’s gangster until the feds start throwing out numbers. #LockHimUp
@Flummoxed Marmoset Agreed. The real racket is the yellow journalism over at Faux News.
@The Wiz BEND OVER AND BLOW, troll. Stick with Faux and Friends – they speak at your level.
@TheTruthMatters! You realize you added nothing right? lol
@TheTruthMatters! You assume I trust fox, instead of asking me if I do. You do not care what is true. You just want an excuse to be a troll. Stop trolling me and The President you troll!
The United States can be so much better than this. There are really great and decent people in the U.S., please don’t judge us by the scum at the top right now.
@Flapkatt : A big AMEN and Hallelujah to that!!!!
@Eva Winters sadly there’s every chances that dirty business will be repeated. Those in power will do everything to ensure they do not lose power. Plus Killary as you was said was a terrible candidate. She would have launched another war in the Middle East to show everyone what big brass balls she has. Trump’s a dangerous incompetent puppet on a string. Killary is a dangerous competent puppetmaster that would have pulled the strings. Don’t really know which is the lesser of the two evils to be honest…..
@Dancing Diva agreed, impeach lock up, and fines.
@Eva Winters Take heart. Most people know that… they just get frustrated at America/ns writ large.
Try not to take offence. Allies only want you to improve and better help yourselves.
You can’t really blame us for being given frustrated… first George W, fake wars, oily aggression, “nationistic” arrogance and ruining the world economy for greed and now THIS…?
We would help if we could, but we are not Russia…
We Canadians are trying as hard as we can to not judge you but it’s not easy when we see all these republicans NOT push back , and his base who won’t go away even after trump shoots someone on fifth avenue……there are good Americans but the bad are too numerous to ignore….
How could Trump think that Dems could alter the transcripts they release when the Republican Congressmen heard the testimony?
@Jewels Star I voted all democrat and all my reps and senators are democrats, all for the sake of defeating trump. I am confident they know how we feel and the only representative from the entire state that is a republican is andy harris. since he is not elected by my district, it seems fruitless to write him.
@Ryan Piercy Good for you, Ryan! Kudos! Encourage more to follow your good example. Fight the indifference!
@Ryan Piercy Amen! We need prayers. May God’s legions of Angels help us and deafeat all their deceptions and all their lies.
@Ryan Piercy Amen!
@Ryan Piercy In Jesus’ name, Amen!
So after all of this 35% of Americans are still stupid enough to shout out make America great again nonsense. Saaaaaaaad
@M K Thanks too msnbc you will never learn. The mid terms were a zero. It is a phenomenom that happens almost every time all 3 houses are held by one party. It is a nothing burger served up as real food by lying msnbc. Keep watching I guess. Maybe it just feels good to you?
@The Wiz yup your a troll🔊🔉🔈
@Tony Price Stop trolling me. Just look up trolling, then look at your comments. You are the troll LOL. Go away trump troll!!
@The Wiz I hate trump moron I’m a brother from Philadelphia u dickhead stop putting trump 2020 up you moron that’s supports him dickhead not trolling dickhead attacking trump moron
best argument for a license to breed are trump’s “base”.
How messed up must one be for John Bolton to say “they’re messed up”?
A chain is as strong as its weakest link
BINGO
Kevin Potts : John Bolton wants a War any war.
@Peggy Trawick John Bolton wants a book deal!
If trump is saying that the democrats are altering the transcripts before they release them
(1, he is projecting
(2, he is admitting that there is wrongdoings in those transcripts, if they were altered it would be for the specific reason of making him look guilty. So unless the transcripts are altered(which they are not),,,he knows how guilty they make him appear.
joseph prosser : To clarify, there is NO actual verbatim transcript of the Ukraine phone call, to the best of the public knowledge, nor does an audio recording exist. See Vindman’s deposition or testimony : the phone call goes through a voice recognition system software, which is however not totally reliable. Eg. it does not understand or transcribe technical words or people’s names. Besides, every official listening in on the phone call from the Situation Room takes notes in order to complete / amend / correct the computer-produced summary. Vindman testified that, during this process, certain crucial details were omitted. He went to see a certain Eisenberg, Chief-something, to have the « transcript » amended. This was not done, instead the document was transferred to an isolated secure server to ensure that no further amendments could be made. The only trace remaining of the missing parts is the ellipses : … That’s the stuff that was released, with the caution that it was not a verbatim transcript. So why do Trump and his gang keep repeating « Read the transcript » is beyond my understanding, and only proves that they have NOT read said transcript.
For the sake of completeness, I will add that I draw my knowledge from the daily reading of the NYTIMES, in case anybody would ask about my sources.
Washademoak : No. This aid comes from a joint decision with European leaders, and was a bi-partisan decision as well. There’s no way Trump can wriggle out of it if future payments are agreed.
@Greg Taylor well let’s see the Democrats told us what was in it before it was released, come to find out they were wrong, No Smoking Gun just b*******
@Myriam Ickx
He tried to wiggle out of it this time, or delay it,,could amount to the same thing if he delays too long and Russia takes more territory
@Jim Schranz apparently you must have a learning disability
Mulvaney is in the position of many 10 year old boys: “But he made me do it.”
@S H Can you drill down further to clarify what you’re suggesting?
Reminds me of, I think it was Anderson Cooper, “With respect Mr President that is the argument of a six year old” Trump: “Well he started it” .
Gottenhimfella Mulvaney goes out to the press and makes some astonishing statements. When asked, he can truthfully reply that he did not do a cover up—until later when the president asked him to.
and his freaking cult followers are still saying no impeachable offense. are they effing nuts? that’s rhetorical.
@Margo Romero And we are not going to allow them to drag us down any further! He has got to go! Set your calendar, folks….get to the polls. If you voted him in last time,…..no one will know how you voted in 2020. If you can come to your senses, vote him out…..that will be your redemption.
@Kerms If you want to talk financial, some of the people who are earning more since trump are getting taxed up the @$$ on the other end. Win small, loose big sitchyation. The people responding to you make good points, but insults hurled your way are inexcusable and lack the dignity trump himself lacks. We mustn’t stoop to that level when speaking directly at someone here. Be well my friend!
@MyNutsOnYourChin The t-rumpturds live in their own little alt-reality.
@bestmusic04 Fueled by racism, lies, and galloping hate.
@N N T-rump is also very poorly-educated. So when he looks at his brain-dead crowd, he is looking in the mirror.
Trump’s cockroaches are beginning to scatter.
Matthew Molina but what about Epstein’s “friends” who killed him?
Matthew Molina
Not fast enough.
he actually tried that Colonel Jessup technique? 😂😂
Bribery and Extortion are the right terms to use for what Trump has done.
add obstruction, and witness intimidation
I call it CHEATING!
He already cheated himself into the WH in 2016.
Don’t expect anything more from the imposter than lies.
The media needs to start using the terms extortion and bribery instead of “quid pro quo”.
@Keoki Ciervo ABSOLUTELY OBAMA AND HIS ENTIRE CABINET SHOULD BE SHOT BEFORE A FIRING SQUAD. TRADERS ALL OF THEM.
After this next round of Whitehouse departure.
Dancing with the Stars is about to get a whole lot shittier!
LOL 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂😂 😂😂😂
Lol
😂😂😂
Hilarious😁
I feel like Mulvaney is going to be stupid Watergate’s John Dean
This isn’t news ,it’s a liberal BIASED MEDIA PROPAGANDA Opinion.
John Dean is a joke. He sees & thinks every Admin is like Watergate. He makes his living doing that. Do better research please. Spygate Timelines on Epoch Times, Dan Bongino, John Solomon, Wayne Dupree, Black Patriot Channel, Glenn Beck, The Blaze, Dave Harris Jr.
@nik mxforever yet another deranged fox news grandpa. just take your meds and go back to bed, grandpa’
Tough titty P Diddy hey in the end john dean delivered the goods !
Ric L trump always sets up a few fall guys roy cohn taugh him well !
Everyone is a gangsta until the s*** hits the fan and the option of going to jail is on the table! Haha
@Eva Winters And in the end, KARMA will take very good care of the orange Nazi.
Charmaine Swinney ! Totally!
@Handsome B. Wonderful This right here is why I feel congress should be using inherent contempt rather than just letting people off. When they KNOW they will go to jail if they don’t sing, they will form an opera.
@iamDrWulf frankly speaking I would be happy to see all of them go. Trump, McConnell, Pence, biden, pelosi, and clinton. When are we going to get a real commonsense leader past the primaries?
Crazy how ppl sacrificing themselves for that crook
Mulvaney: “What’s that noise?”
Trump: “Your bus arriving, pal.”
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🚍🚍🚍🚍🚍🚍🚍🚍
@Roger McCaslin “… beeping noi…” CLUNK! Thud thud…
Allow me to curb kick ya

“well, I don’t know Mulvaney, never actually met Mulvaney, maybe he’s a great guy but I don’t know Mulvaney”
We should have laughing emojis for these comments. This is a circus of clowns.
Thanks for trying to get at the truth guys. Really appreciate your work.
