Chris Hayes On The Highlights Of Tuesday’s Impeachment Hearings | All In | MSNBC
Good Job Chris.
Sondland is either going to plea the 5th, go down as the fall guy for a corrupt president, or sing like a bird that t’rump directed him that the aid was contingent on the personal favor.
Either way….I’m running out of popcorn. 🍿🍿
esj8341 😆😆😆😆
And when did t’rump say he wanted nothing? Only after he learned that the extortion call was uncovered!
Nice try! 😝😝
Cara Metz Looks like he sang like a bird!

Re: “😆😆😆😆”
Exchange between Congressman Turner and Ambassador Turner.
Turner: “Is that your testimony today,
Ambassador Sondland, that you have evidence that Donald Trump tied the investigations to the aid? Because I don’t think you’re saying that.”
Sondland: “I said repeatedly […] I was presuming.”
[After some more grilling, Congressman Turner asked again]
Turner: “Is it correct, nobody else on this planet told you that Donald Trump was tying this aid to the investigations? Because if your answer is yes, then the chairman’s wrong and the headline on CNN is wrong. No one this planet told you that President Trump was tying aid to investigations, yes or no?”
Sondland: “Yes.”
Turner: “So, you’ve really have no testimony today that ties President Trump to a scheme to withhold aid from Ukraine in exchange for these investigations?”
Sondland: “Other than my own presumption.”
Turner: “Which is nothing.”
esj8341 So the ONLY thing you are looking for is someone to say “I explicitly extorted Ukraine” before you believe it? Until then you will ignore the mountain of evidence? Wow. 😲The level of idiocy here is staggering.😆😆
@Ro G Actual witness testimony, not conjecture, is what I am looking for. Sonderland witnessed Trump tell him expressly that “I don’t want quid quo pro. “I want nothing.”
On the other hand, Sonderland testified he never witnessed Trump say anything suggesting quid quo pro. Rather Sonderland said he *presumed* Trump wanted it.
You think it is right that we impeach a pres based on a presumption?
I mean if you feel you have to tell a lawyer.. then……………….🤔😳
@john crump if you haven’t noticed all the witnesses so far have no evidence of that. Trump wanted Hunter Biden investigated and that’s reasonable. Another thing is that Ukraine has known to be curroupt. They also just got a new president. Don’t you think we should make sure there Will be no corruption before we give them money?
@john crump Also the Ukraine president himself said there was no pressure or anything of that matter. So we have no evidence other then 2nd hand knowledge. So I ask you again where is the evidence? This is the same democrats who will be spending a full 4 years trying to impeach trump. They said from the beginng with no evidence that they would. Think about that
@john crump so John where is the evidence. Democrats have been trying to impeach trump from day one. Should I believe them or should I believe the ukraine president ? Especially when there isn’t evidence to support the democrats accusation other than assumption and 2nd hand knowledge?
Devin Vez, your fixation on John Crump is interesting. Why does it bother you so that he weighed in on this case and voiced an opinion? He stated correctly that neither he nor witnesses determine culpability of the accused; jurors or judges do. Have you ever seen judges nor jurors ask a witness, “What should we decide about this case?” No. The witnesses tell what they saw and heard; the judge/jury/Congressional committee decides what it means. But since you must know what laws are in question, here you go:

1+1 always equals 2 Mr. Volker. Work on your math sir.
Have MALONEY do more dust clearing please. He knows how to clear the way for truth!
Any good businessman would sell deep State t-shirts right now, probably get half the country to buy one.
Include the subtitle: Stupid is as Stupid Does.
Morrison looked so uneasy when being grilled and his answers were so unconvincing. and Lt. Col. Vindman is reporting to this fella? Morrison’s bad views of Vindman is highly likely due to the Ukrainians offering Vindman and not Morrison to be their defense minister 🙄😑
Maybe it was a factor that Morrison appeared in there only bc of subpoena.
If Volker didn’t pick that up immediately, then he is not qualifies for the job, same as trump.
W and S yeah at one point one of the members had to counsel him about the dangers of having the president investigate a citizen.
The Republicans definitely have a problem if these are the best “defense” witnesses they could come up with. Their legal counsel on the committee is also a laughing stock. Steve Castor’s “not as outlandish as it could be” line of questioning will be one of the most comical legal blunders of all time.
Did we watch the same hearing?
@dbvor It depends if you were watching the “edited for Trump TV version”
After yesterday’s depositions, the Republicans will demand that they be *prohibited* from calling their own witnesses.
@RJCHOICE any evidence of this bribery? All the witnesses said they have no evidence. Second hand knowledge doesn’t count. By the way if you want to bring up these silly polls you should know that more than half doesn’t think he should be impeached? Anyways a lot of your statments are opinionated.
@RJCHOICE Also the Ukraine president said that this bribery never happened and he wasn’t pushed to do anything. Am I suppose to believe the democrats that have been pushing for impeachment from day one over the so called vitcim? Come on man get off the plantation.
@RJCHOICE have you watched the hearings or only get your news from biased news outlets? I ask this because all your vids on YouTube are from news channels that are bias against trump
@Devin Vez
not an opinion.
1. trump admited he would accept opposition info on a political opponent from a foreign country.
2. He’s asked for dirt on his opponents from foreign countries on 4 documented occasions.
A “Russia if youre listening”
B. “I think Ukrain should investigate the Bidens”
C. “”I think China should investigate the Bidens”
D. “I need a fovor though” (call between trump and Zelinski)
and so far everyone who testified said they knew of a quid pro quo..
Why ignore subpoenas from the impeachment committee
why hide your tax returns from the American voters?
trump’s so petty that the republicans are using it as.a defense for trump withholding aid and a Whitehouse meeting with the Ukrainianian president.
“trump heard the Ukrainians preferred Hillary . they sou?
the Ukrainian president dodged a :bulle/”v bullet by trump getting caught.
We know trump is
For “Rupublicans” less than perfect conduct is unacceptable but makes that “flawed” individual ripe for abuse and useful in gaining political advantage.
For DjT’s more than corrupt, out in the open for all to see, possibly treasonous, conduct is not worth a mention by his “Rupublicans” even if well documented by DjT himself, his public confession and those of Giuliani and Mulvaney, and with eyewitness, under oath, testimony before Congress.
Furthermore, Rupublican rejection of the Mueller Report shows that they have ignored the high probability that DjT is a Russian asset.
Haha the Republicans’ OWN witnesses are providing even more damaging information to the pile lol that’s already teetering in the breeze it’s so tall 😂
How much did you watch?
Truth is truth! Not spinning the truth.
Anyone else notice how the republicans switched back to saying that these hearings shouldn’t be public? First, they wanted them to be public. Now, they’re realizing that the American people aren’t as dumb as they’d like them to be so they want the hearings to go back into the secure room with no cameras. LOL.
Idiots are receiving data that shows most of America is watching and caring that a criminal is running the WH! Puking!
How much of this did you watch?
Nope didn’t notice that and the ratings are lower than anything from the mueller hearings. The only person I remember switching what they said was Schiff about the whistleblower testifying.
I wou8ld give a lot to see trump stand up there and speak under oath. Everyone knows that would be pure comedy as he cannot tell the truth no matter what.
Nunes and Republicans have totally abandoned their Oath of office.
@dbvor They are defending lies and liars. It’s actually against the law to ask campaign favors of foreigners. You really cant do it using American tax payer money.
@sk8queen So what did the Clinton Foundation do all these years? They got billions from other countries. For what?! Btw don’t you want Americans to get a better understanding WHY Biden’s son got all that money from the Ukraine? Not being able to speak the language, understanding that business and being fired from service for cocaine use? Doesn’t sound fishy? Well, maybe not to a Democrat.
@dbvor IF any wrongdoing had been found against the Clintons, their charity would have been dissolved just as trump’s. IF Hillary had been found guilty of the crimes she was accused, she’d been charged. PERIODT.
CRIME IS OK WITH US will replace maga on the red trump hats
During President Trump’s second term He is going to drop the ban hammer on this fake news MSM propaganda. Can’t wait to see it
Hope you’re wrong! Thatcwascone of Hitler’s moves. Banning free speech.
Can’t wait until Bill Barr’s role in this is exposed, but I guess he is better at cover ups than most and has the resources to facilitate the will of the dictator.
trump had no idea all those people were on his calls. Now he’ll just use his unsecured phone while sitting on the crapper.
Almost as bad as using an unsecured email server… wait, he did that as well..
@Shamus H As did his VP, daughter, and son-in-law…
Corrupt abuse of power 😂😂😂
