Adam Schiff Slams DOJ For Isolating Intel Community Whistleblower | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Donald Corruption Trump is a lying politician and a rat.
Go Trump – MAGA
Schiff lied on TV for two years while leaking false information. Schiff isn’t getting the information because of a track record of leaking false information. Boo hood, he brought this on himself. Now he’s spinning his personal speculation that he has been kept out of
@john smith Only a troll like you would say something that stupid. Guess the OAN news has green pastures of ignorance in your alternate reality. Try a day in reality, or does Trump have to be a Dem for you to step out of your weak minded partisan hackiness?
President Trump hasn’t taken any salary for what he does, how many greedy politicians do that?
One criminal ( Barr) protecting the main criminal ( Trump) who is a threat to the country he is supposed to protect? Time to start panicking America.
@Q Wins Q is a cult.
@Donna Willams Military Intelligence a Cult? A Counter-measure to Fake News…Okay…Well, call it what you will….
The Justice Department is a corrupt mess.
@Yabba Dabba
Haha, I don’t live in that dump, the USA is the laughing stock of the entire world. You’re welcome to it.
UC Vibes
It has been corrupt for a long time, remember back in 2012 when the DoJ under Lanny Breuer declined to prosecute HSBC Bank for laundering Mexican drug cartel money?
No bank executive went to jail.
I bet plenty of poor brown people in prison for possession of a joint would have liked a piece of that deal.
The USA is a rotten and corrupt country, all that flag waving, bible bashing and anthem singing is just a front for a dirty dishonest culture. It’s a nation of liars, the home of the “alternative fact”.
Cheers
UC Vibes the agency’s not corrupt but the Attorney General is CORRUPT BEYOND MEASURE. TRUMP AND BARR ARE DISGUSTING AND WILL BE RECEIVING A JUST PUNISHMENT IN DUE COURSE. LORD HELP OUR COUNTRY. RID US OF THESE DESPICABLE THUGS IN HIGH OFFICE.
@Kenneth Mitchell so far its just been democrats investigating
USA is ruled by Mafia Trump law with support of AG Barr, all corrupted Republicans.
DID YOU KNOW THE RODHAM FAMILY , LITERALLY IS THE MAFIA IN CHICAGO ?? HILLARY “RODHAM” CLINTON
MORON ALERT
A lot of sound and fury signifying only one thing. Whether or not the President is above the law. As if in a healthy republic that is EVER a question.
@Russ Martin outer limits
Is Joe Biden above the law?
@Kermit T. Frog You are trying to make sense of the MSM NothingBurgers?
Don’t bother. It is all RealityTV.
@Rat Dusty Nope. And if a crime’s been committed, then bring the evidence. But threatening to withhold aid to another country unless they pursue a specific investigation? Why does the word “extortion” come to mind?
Trump? Serious wrongdoing??? Wow – What a surprise!!!
How can they just refuse? Don’t the institutions that make America the leader of the ‘free’ world mean anything to America?? Trump and his cronies are just thumbing their nose at these!!!! Is this a democracy or is this a Autocracy?
@john carioscia You spelled Banana wrong.
@Frank Dillard I’m sorry for that.
Donald does whatever he wants and manipulates those around him to “bend the knee”. If I believed in Satan I’d point to this horrid president. He is a very dangerous leader. I don’t understand his followers
@Momlady1 I can’t change your mind & you can’t change mine. LOL
To answer your question, it’s a republic.
I guess there’s nothing in the law that says Trump can’t dismiss the Secret Service and replace them with Spetsnaz.
Thats why *Snowden choose Wikileaks over whistleblower* strategy to get his critical information out.
I really almost could not care less about Russia and their corruption, their Problem to deal with.
Yes they are from Eric Princes private Army formally known as blackwater. he has no actual Secret Service, they cannot be trusted.
@FBI whitehousebug Bolton should take Snowdens lead !!!!
Andrew Mitchell I mean, not to be a troll, but I guess Article II of the U.S. Constitution kinda might, like, you know, “say” that’s uncool?
If there any justice at all, Trump and Barr will end up in jail.
@Good Day – What a hypocrite. You don’t even believe in God, or you wouldn’t support the Moster-in-Chief.
Clinton and Biden Jr first.
There is no “justice”. Only what we allow to happen …
It is indeed a administration run by the mob. Acting stooges are breaking laws everywhere and barr’s DOJ, trump’s personal law firm, cleans up the mess behind them.
@LIZA SMITH um how exactly the supreme Court has sided with trump with nearly everything that the 9th has tried to stop by legislating from the bench.from the travel ban to wall funding.
@Dmitri Fukov You are mistaken.
Trump is preident then he should be held in military jail until court. For TREASON.
Aleta Mize lay off the dope it’s affecting your mind
Good one , High five… Fist 👊 bump…..
DOJ protecting a traitor.
How did it come this?
Benedict Arnold Trump.
Benedict Arnold was Washington’s favorite officer, until the bureaucrats screwed him out of what was promised.
Under the presumption of innocence of the President until proven otherwise I wish the whistleblower all the strength he or she needs and my profound appreciation for the courage to stand up for our country. You are a real patriot and I sincerely hope the USA will not let you down.
The USA will absolutely let him down. It’s what this country does, and that’s why most people turn their heads away and refuse to get involved. No one wants to be the sacrificial goat.
We all need to be praying for our country right now regardless of your denomination or belief or non belief. I have faith that we will come through this. We have endured and persevered through tougher battles in our history. God bless and keep you…
@Tanya Owen God has nothing to do with is. Russia does and so does this traitorous vile pretend President.
thank you for this comment – and you are also a patriot.
Time for the military to removed tRump from office.
WE WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT , HAD HILLARY WON !!
Nolan Johnson The underhanded methods are those of Barr and the Republicans – they need to read what their jobs really are supposed to be- — to act as oversight on a president who is willing to do anything, break any law, to get reelected.
And have you clowns thought of the damage he will do if reelected – why don’t you look up the budget Trump proposed earlier this year which if implemented would cut deeply into all social programs, education, social security, healthcare, cancer research, ( more than a billion dollars off the budget if the NCI as well as the CDC) and all to pay for his taxcuts for himself, his super rich friends and enablers like Hannity and his donors. Wake up and do your homework ( unless you are a Russian troll of course which seems likely – hard to believe any American is so bent on screwing himself)
If you don’t have the balls to kick Barr and tRump in the balls, allow me the honor of doing it.
@ordinary average guy bigger balls than you
@Juan Lopez Nope we are smart. No need to destroy our country cause of Feelings. Stop crying, grow a back bone and stop jumping the border
Snowflake, pajama boy.
NSA contractor Edward Snowden says he does not feel safe living in Russia,
Kremlin Trump, Moscow Mitch, KGB Barr. America is run by puppets.
Nixon’s Attorney General, John N. Mitchell, went to prison and lost his licence to practice law for life. I can’t wait until Barr is locked up.
Greg M or commits suicide !
Barr will never be locked up but Obama will be – just as McCain was executed at GITMO. Go Trump – MAGA
@Ellen Anderson You first.
Traitor Trump and McConnell selling out the USA again
Biden bragged about getting the investigator fired.
You know absolutely nothing and neither does Adam. He’s being kept from the information because of his track record of leaking false information
The leader of the free world colluded with a foreign leader to sell out US interests and White House is trying to obstruct whistleblower coming forward? Trump is really above the law and nobody in United States can do anything about it? Really scary!! At least we can sleep during Obama era.
