House impeachment manager Congressman Jerry Nadler joins “The Beat” after Speaker Pelosi tapped him to prosecute the case against Trump. Previewing the historic trial, Nadler says Trump is guilty of high crimes beyond “any reasonable doubt” with “overwhelming evidence” Trump “betrayed the country.” On prosecuting the case, Nadler says Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the GOP senators are also “on trial,” adding blocking of witnesses and documents would be a “sham” because “any jury would convict in three minutes flat.” (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 1/16/20.

  1. Host: What is the case that you will present to the Senate?

    Nadler: Well, the case that we will present to the Senate is that the Orange Man is bad.

    Host: Ahh, yes…the Orange Man IS bad!

    Nadler: Correct, the Orange Man is bad.

    1. Charles Wetzel TRUMP is not a nazi, he’s a DICTATOR, AN USURPER AND A TRAITOR. Atleast hitler loved his country.

    2. Reese Torwad, funny you use the word nazi to describe a President and a political party that’s very pro-Israel. Do you know what a nazi is? Their whole ideology is based heavily on anti-semetism. That sounds a lot more in line with the democratic party’s politics.

  2. Joe Biden “I told him listen buddy we’re leaving in 6 hours and if he’s not fired you wont get a penny. What do you know he was fired, so I told them didn’t I”
    That is what quid pro quo actually sounds like

    1. Exactly, I don’t get why some people here don’t get that. We don’t have the resources to research every Country to see if their Prosecutors or other Politicians are corrupt. We certainly don’t have the resources to send our VP on AIRFORCE TWO to go to every Foreign Country where there are corrupt Politicians and give them SIX HOURS to fire them?? The US government has so much RED TAPE that they can’t accomplish anything in SIX HOURS, yet there is video of Biden bragging about how he did just that.
      Don’t people connect the dots that Biden did that, and his son sat on a Ukrainian Energy Co. Board that paid him $50,000 a month and Hunter doesn’t speak the language and has no experience in that field. Plus Hunter is not your ideal candidate being an admitted Cocaine Addict and having been dishonorably discharged from the Military.

      Venezuela is a very corrupt country with a corrupt government, we rely on Venezuela for oil so it makes sense that they are important to us; Biden never went down to Venezuela and threatened to withhold Billions of Dollars worth of loan guarantees if they don’t get rid of Corrupt Politicians. We need Venezuela and no one went down there and threatened to withhold money, but the Ukraine doesn’t supply us with oil or anything, but they were SO IMPORTANT that Biden had to fly over (instead of a regular phone call) and threaten them by giving them only SIX HOURS. Is the Ukraine that important to the US, or was it just important to Biden because of his son Hunter’s job on the Board of Burisma. You and I and other people who are willing to take apart the situation and look at it objectively are able to see the truth, I guess it’s because we took the Red Pill…..

    2. Quid pro quo is not inherently bad. Biden’s quid pro quo was done in his execution of official foreign policy, with the backing of the G-7, the IMF, and the EBRD. Trump’s quid pro quo was done to benefit his own personal and political aims. Learn something.

    3. @arjaygee the Ukrainian president himself agrees there was no quid pro quo, there is zero factual proof of it…learn your facts before spewing your CNN talking points

    1. @Simon Nielsen “Mate” ahh he is one of the Brit’s who allowed Muslims and African to take over his country.

    2. @Simon Nielsen not to mention they are really worked up and squealing like pigs right now because they know he’s screwed

    1. @Skarn22 this was trump’s impeachment in what world was their presence needed? Hunter Biden already said that they hired him because joe Biden was his father but joe biden didnt pull any strings

      Also if the intelligence agencies we have dont suspect anything or detect any motive why is it that a stupid guy in his 70’s has people believing him over the CIA or FBI? These people know what they are doing unlike trump who lied to get out of going to Vietnam and tried to cover up his affair with stormy Daniel’s or his continuous appeal to the courts to keep his taxes a secret which has never been done in our country’s history! Lie after lie and you all still support him

      I just dont know what he can do for you all to see him for what he really is

    2. @ryan mckraut haven’t you asked why they dont have first hand knowledge? The people who do won’t go to testify even though they have been called on by Congress to testify! Many times but they refused and are being protected by Donald trump who in case you haven’t noticed is being impeached doesn’t that sound suspicious to you in the least?

      I really dont know why I even replied to you, Republicans dont listen to reason.
      for you idiots 2+2=6 right?

    1. @Sophiebelle Biden was so “well spoken” in last nights debate wasn’t he!?!?
      Strange or “coincidental” that Biden became more unhinged after Trump had shed light on the Biden Corruption allegations….

    2. @DurdenTyler21 I wish I could have given you more than one thumbs up for that statement.
      I can’t stand Joe’s smugness, nor his outright rudeness, especially to the 83 yr old man who he challenged to a “push-up” duel, lol. Just the thought of it reminds me of something written into a bad TV show. He just doesn’t get why he is inappropriate and that’s not something that can be taught to someone. You either understand or your don’t.

    1. Biden cant talk or remember anything. Pelosi sounds and looks like she hit the bottle. Nadler has a s,s,sstuttering problem. Their supporters call them “educated” LOL!

  3. Dems: Any jury would convict in 3 minutes flat!

    Also Dems: We can’t allow a jury because they could be Russian Bots 🤖

    1. @peter blood RealRYM is actually correct. Be honest with everyone here. The only thing you know politically is to hate Trump and Conservatives. Whatever is fed to you by MSNBC, CNN, and the comedy writers from late night TV hosts is all you know. If they said Trump beats infants with baseball bats, you are fully prepared to lick up every single word of it with zero ability to even question it as long as it fits your world view.

    2. @I’m Your President
      Oh please. You offer nothing and RealYRM was NOT correct evidenced by the fact that we are going to have an impeachment trial. God wake up man!

    3. @peter blood I will leave it at this: Nothing will change the inevitable. You can say whatever you want. It doesn’t matter. This November election is gonna be the bitter pill YOU will have to swallow. Not me. You aren’t gonna like the result, but at some point you people will have to step back and reassess the stances you have decided to take.

    1. Sounds alot like when the russians hacked the DNC and exposed the rigged system for hillary and everyone is mad at the russians but not the DNC…

    2. @Funnyfresh420
      That’s about as convoluted theory as any I’ve heard but c’mon, you can do better than that. You’ve been wearing that tin-foil hat for quite a while now so I’m sure you have better conspiracies than that. How about Democrats are all Reptilian aliens sent to earth to take over. Get with it, your conspiracies are low class at the moment.

    3. ​@peter blood what are you talking about? thats not a theory. They uncovered emails from the DNC chair Donna Brazile giving Hillary the questions for the debates so she was knew exactly what was coming??? That happened. Come on out of your bubble…

    1. “The real question is not the abundance of evidence”…..”Overwhelming evidence”… “You can’t have a trail without evidence”….
      WHAT? Last time I heard speech like this was my cars Navigation; Make a Left, no right, no left, U-Turn…… Re Routing destination…

    2. may in the HOLY NAME of JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, LET Destruction to the enemies of mankind, karina & somerset belenoff, nancy pelosi, ralph northam occur, may there be created hatred between them, make them pinned to a particular location, create contempt, infatuated state, cause the destruction of the army of the enemies(somerset belenoff’s army of antichrist), create insanity, make them to be under the spell of evil spirits and goblins and cause plague in a large scale. There is no doubt about it.

  4. “A great challenge of life: Knowing enough to think you’re right, but not enough to know you’re wrong.” – Neil Degrasse Tyson.

    1. TrixiLovesYou lol never has happened in history. “we hope this message is reaching you! if you’re reading this, wake up!”

    2. @Bryce Smith Don’t even bothering responding it’s a fake profile set up for making comments. It most likely isn’t even a real person

    1. Listen 👂 Matt u white supremacist low life swine. There’s a channel called fox , go there amongst ur peers and express ur wickedness.. never in my wildest dreams would I ever believe so called all American red blooded Caucasian men worshipping a draft dodger. Hippocrites 👴🏻👱🏻👴🏻👱🏻👩🏼🍊🔥🔥🔥👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👱🏻👴🏻🐷🐷🐷🍊

  5. The Congress circus reminds me of Joe Bowers in the movie “Idiocracy” getting prosecuted…..its got electrolites! BRAWNDO!!⚡⚡⚡
