Tell-All Book Renews Attention On Trump Sister's Ethics Inquiry | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Bunker boy is hiding in his safe place. 🤫
@Michigan Wolverine oh, for Christ’s sake…name the three branches of government!
@nw 45 The three branches of government are Nancy PIGlosi , Adam Schifforbrains and Jerry the penguin Nadler they make up the rules as they go along . LIBERAL FREAK
Nicely done!!!!!
@Michigan Wolverine no different than Republicans not calling any witnesses! Try again! You lost another round! LMFAO at your stupidity!
@AL- BOT Several? I know that Mitt Romney favored impeachment. Susan Collins thought the Senate should call more witnesses, forgetting that the Senate serves as jurors to the case already presented by the House. If there are more, why didn’t they vote to out Trump? What SEVERAL republican senators specifically did you hear favoured removal?
Of course they’re all criminals. A family that crimes together stays in jail together
@Danny Wimpey name one?
@T Fu still waiting for one factual loaded crime offense.
@C Seay NOT TRUE and you know it.
@William H Music 2020 <---- Known Russian bot
you’ re talking about bill and hilary I presume ? lol
At this point anyone who still supports Trump is either a coward criminal or traitor to the USA.
@sataniccookiemonster or Trump himself!
Fat Dumb Racist Reality TV star
Black Trump supporters is who baffles me. He was sued for not renting to minorities more times than anyone else in New York. His doorman has said Trump paid him $500 for talking black people into finding other places to live. He taking their children and put people in cages basically for being poor & brown. He glorifies the people who faught to keep slavery legal.
they are mostly just dumb af trailer park trash that have been brainwashed by fox news for the past twenty five years.
Well said
What would you call 45 buying an otherwise unsellable house in exchange to resigning? Quid-pro-something?
Donald tDUMP: I want the school to open next month.
Americans: We want you to send your grandchildren to school first so we’ll find out if they die or not.
@T Fu Science: Children are more likely to die from a falling plane than to die of covid
Donald tDUMP: I want the schools to open next month.
Americans: Why don’t you get rid of the corona virus first? Why did you abandon the fight against COVID19?
@T Fu Trump: bc daily deaths are down 1500% but you won’t hear it on MSM
Trump not only doesn’t pay his own taxes, he took our taxes and gave it to himself and his buddies via PPP loans and tax cuts for the rich
Greg Friedler
Re Trump’s sister: This is how the rich get away with their crimes. They just resign and–PUFF–it goes away, and his sister even got to keep her pension.
My thoughts exactly. Poor folks who is to young to receive SS or too young to retire is up the river without a pedal. No retirement funds will be available for you younguns. SMH
@Glen Stamper aca increased everyone’s HC bill, while making democrats and Wallstreet disgustingly wealthy. Just a fact. Trump Maga
@26 different qurans is ‘perfect quran preservation’ I think what you forgot is that when LBJ brought in the the Civil Rights Acts most of the southern white males switched from Democrats to the GOP. So to answer your question it wasn’t the Dems that founded the KKK it was people who used to vote Democrat but they they now vote mostly Republican. This does not necessarily make either party racist. But it does suggest that more people in the Republican party and people who vote for them tend to be more on the racist side. When you say the Dems are obsessed with race well you are just repeating right wing propaganda talk . You will find that things like the BLK movement just comes down to human decency and equality. Simply saying “Treat others with the same respect you want to be treated”
@Stephen Slattery this is not just about Trump, the Dems or the GOP. All them are making the rich richer. Trump and the GOP gave more tax cuts to the top 1 percent and is paying out money to them under the PPE loans. Before the ACA there was nothing for people uninsured and until there is universal health care 80% of American’s will suffer financially. Tell me the last time money went to schools, health care the blue color worker. The people are so caught up in rallies and talk, us vs them, left vs right. The rich and powerful have us right were they want us pointing fingers at each other then asking them to pay there fair share. that’s a fact. MAGA needs to be changed to MTRA “Make Trump Rich Again” because that is what he has done over the last 4 years. But what would you expect from a guy who ran a fraudulent charity who took the money for himself, another fact.
The Trump family motto: ” I grift, you grift, WE ALL GRIFT!!”
Back in 1986 and likely for many years before, Trump colluded in tax evasion with Bulgari Jewelry Store in NY, a high-end posh location with tony clientele right out of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Here’s how the scam worked:
Trump would go into the store with his wife, his girlfriend, his…whatever (to use his vernacular). He would then buy her an expensive necklace or wristwatch. Normally, such a transaction would face the NY and state sales tax, which would be pretty high on luxury jewelry.
In an illegal attempt to evade the tax, Trump “asked” the store to instead ship the jewelry to an out of state location, where no NY sales tax could be collected. In fact, the store would merely send an empty jewelry box to the location, while Trump and his lady friends walked out the door with the jewelry that very day.
The state and city tax collectors eventually caught onto this scheme, and Trump promptly testified against his erstwhile tax evasion colluding partners at the jewelry store in order to save his own skin.😲
The empty box scam is just one example of Trump’s history of illegal tax evasion. Another story can be told about his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida by local reporter Frank Cerabino.
Trump bought the property from the estate of breakfast cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post. He got it for a relative bargain at $7.5 million, something he bragged about in The Art of the Deal. Yet he refused for years to pay local property taxes on the actual value of the property, $11.5 million at the time he bought it. He tried to have it both ways–buy the property for a steep discount and also pay property taxes at that same under-valued price.
Try that with your town’s property tax assessor sometime and see what he says.😲
This is who Trump is in a nutshell. He’s always been a con-man, and that’s all he will ever be.
@ArschvomDienst Yes True, but Maddow got your viewership only by your stupidity
@Ash Roskell I am well seasoned and have seen things no one should, ergo I’ve something you do not………
Experience, insight, and something that eludes the Left, common sense….
@Edwin Ruiz it ain’t me, but the entire Democrat party that’s going to get throated November 3rd…..
@Aja Kim really?
You’d better check out September 9th sweetheart……
The Hildabeast has to appear and testify about election tampering in ’16…
The Hildabeast- “NO ONE is above the law!!!”
Then come get yours baby!
@J Bawz
As long as it is not a totally crazy propaganda lie channel it is good to watch.
MSNBC, CNN, TYT and a few others = good.
Fox “News”, OAN and sadly many others= bad.
Simple as that.
the great downfall is coming and not before time
@jk jkk order about 8 or 12 years worth of anti depressants because your orange freakshow is destroying the GOP’s chances for a long time.
Dude, reality please.
@Craig Masters if I were you I’d be already looking for deals on Trump 2020 t-shirts
@jk jkk Ivanka? Has “daddy” (cough, cough) given you back your soiled panties yet?
@lew bronstein nice TDS
So if you are Joe Blog and you get charged with something thats life, but if you are a judge just resign and thats the end of any charges and you get 200k per year, even though you resigned from the job that paid that……..seems like a fair system.
200K a year of our tax money, remember.
Or you could just be a stupid MSNBC crapper

The whole family has never been held accountable, and God only knows how many others like them have gotten away with their crimes by pulling some strings.
“Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr. Were Close to Being Charged With Felony Fraud
New York prosecutors were preparing a case. Then the D.A. overruled his staff after a visit from a top donor: Trump attorney Marc Kasowitz.”
https://www.propublica.org/article/ivanka-donald-trump-jr-close-to-being-charged-felony-fraud
Everyone in Trump family investigated and the material witness is the niece , ya can call that an all family affair ..surreal
Donnie stole Daddy’s money then cooked the books to show that Fred only had $30 million in his will. The only person he doesn’t cheat on is Vladimir Putin.
He would if he could. In Trump’s mind cheating Putin – a man infinitely more capable – would be his greatest accomplishment.
Putin isn’t holding on to a certain videotape for nothing 😉
Bigfoot Anthropologist ….because he doesn’t dare cheat on Putin!
Wouldn’t dare. Remember the tapes? Vlad does!
He’s afraid of Puttin. Plus he’s been trying to build Trump tower Moscow for decades. I wish Trump would go to jail but he’ll move to Russia before he’ll go to jail. Maybe get a cute lil starter home for him and his sweetie Puttin… 😆
@lexa harpell It was a three some arranged by Putin.
Trump: “First of all, you can’t believe anything my niece Mary says in her book. I just found out that my niece Mary is a deep state mole. She’s a deep state mole who was planted within my family in the 60s by Obama to spy on me.” 😄
I don’t know her. That’s fake news.🤪
Karl Pilkington : She was a Covfefe boy 😁
Bee Majic : Q says what, to whom about what? 🤔
😆😆😆😆😆
Mary is the illegitimate son of Hillary and Obama. And were planted in the womb of Donald’s brother while he was drunk. With a genome manipulated by BLM and Antifa to make her a never-Trumper if Donald would ever become the President.
Bing, bing, bong, bong.
Is any of this really surprising? He hasn’t fought the release of his tax returns for good reasons.
Trump has been a well documented person involved in tax and bank fraud, just like his daddy. The shame comes from a country letting him and other rich people get away with it. Its an odd system where you can end up in prison over a couple of hundred dollars and be fine when its millions.
Dave Ponsford Very well said. Thank you.
so I have an idea vote for biden who helped steal trillions in tax dollars funding their private armies like BLM, antifa, Isis, alquadia, and so many others. That is all well documented too but you all dont want to see that why? Yea nice try but this democrat is voting for the only president to keep his promises in a very long time in this country and all I see is a bunch of spoiled rich kids crying like babies because he won in 2016 when I did not vote for him and he will win in 2020 when I do vote for him. Good luck with your communism push ok my russian or chinese friend. either you are from msnbc, russia or china or have to be the dumbest person in america who would just believe anything the tv tells them to believe.

Why did they leave out all of the Russian money which went to his wife’s family?
There is no bottom to a bottomless pit.
Because you’re an MSNBC crappant
@J Bawz Is that a French word?
Kevin Tobiason funny!
@Anne Rodgers… It’s not funny… it’s traitorous… but then that has become the status quo for the Republican party these days.
What surprises me most is that anyone is surprised that people like the Trump family wouldn’t cheat on paying tax, for them taxes are what stupid working classes pay .
@jk jkk You’re right, poor people and those that don’t have a university degree should be banned from voting at least in Presidential elections. Nor should they have passports or allowed to travel outside their home States unless it is work related. Unemployed should be sent to labor camps to work on infrastructure programs.
@Jim666 university isnt even required, its a certain income in cashflow or in property value, the passport thing is a bad analogy since voting is a liability and passports are income (they arent free unlike voting) thats why poor people dont have passports to begin with, finally there will never be labor camps, at least not until we approve AOC’s Green New Deal which “will guarantee” public jobs to american citizens.
What i was conveyng to you is to me common sense but it wasnt my idea, it was Socrates, he was afraid of the incresingly famous “democrcy,” which is short for Mob Rule, long story short, he was killed by majority vote for “corrupting the youth of athens” with his crazy ideas they forced him to drink poison, thats why you need to read Platos Republic
@jk jkk I know exactly what you meant, you advocating rule by an Oligarchy, anti democracy and pro dictatorship, what you didn’t recognize is satire which is something that should disqualify you from the gene pool.
@Jim666 i just stated that your post apocaliptic satire can literally become true if we elect democratic leadership, like with the green new deal for example and if you read platos you would know that “Oligarchy then degenerates into a democracy where freedom is the supreme good but freedom is also slavery”
@jk jkk Oligarchies do not degenerate into democracies, as history teaches they invariably evolve into monarchies of some description with resultant internecine warfare as the oligarchs squabble over who has absolute power.
If you can’t get him on murder, maybe we should get him for tax evasion! Sounds familiar? 🆒
California Condor …..Gotti and Capone!
To expose a Tyrant’s corruption is performing a civic duty
Amen
Just unbelievable how ‘The Occupant’ still holds this leadership position!
He Owns Every Top Official, Judicial Leaders, Corrupt GOPS And Powerful Dark Money Crooks that Control the Outcomes. He Is their Front Man that Keeps them Rich And With Special Favors. . That’s Why The Sane And Fed Up American Voters Must Stand Together At the Polls In Great Force. . We Are the Only Ones that Can Save Ourselves From this Massive Criminal Enterprise Of Crooks. . 💙.
Scandal after scandal and the media still acts “shocked”. Most people I know knew Trump was a crook.
Kay Clark …Come on! You have to be surprised at all the dirt leaking from The WH!
@Vivian Perino -Vivian, no. There’s plenty of information on what a liar and crook TrumpCo is. I wish that the media would just present facts instead of “showing both sides”. We could have avoided a lot of death and corruption. It’s the duty of government employees to leak when the government is being hijacked by Russian spies and crooks. God bless them all.
Why has no one attempted to take the clown out ‘ USA needs a HERO.
