Chris Hayes: Yes, Read The Transcript! | All In | MSNBC

  1. I agree with the ‘feral animal’ comment. There seems to be no deep thought or consideration behind many of Trumps comments, he reacts rather than be proactive. He is impulsive and attention seeking. Not the ideal recipe for a head of state.

    1. That’s what immature people do. Add the layers of sociopathy and even some elements of psychopathy, and you get Donald Judas Trump.

    2. william carter see, I think it’s the opposite. I think it was his mother who didn’t give him that attention, nurturing motherly love. And his father spoiled him. Perfect recipe for a sociopath

  2. This passage from “Anonymous” cracked me up!😆
    “It’s like showing up at the nursing home at daybreak to find your elderly uncle running around pantsless across the courtyard and cursing loudly about the cafeteria food as worried attendants try to catch him…you’re stunned, amused, and embarrassed all at the same time. Only your uncle probably wouldn’t do it everyday, his words aren’t broadcast to the public, and he doesn’t have to lead the US government once he puts his pants on.”
    English version: “Anonymous-A Warning”
    Trump version: “Anomonish-A Warming”

    1. I’ve pre-ordered it already!! I think Kelly Anne is Anonymous. She’s the only one left from his presidential campaign.

  3. Lindsey Graham: “If you could show me that Trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo, outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing.”
    Then he said he refuses to read any of the transcripts. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Well, that’s awfully convenient…how can he be shown Trump’s wrongdoings, if he refuses to look at the evidence? 🙈🤷🏼‍♀️
    Do we pay our Congressmen to run around with their fingers in their ears, yelling, “La la la la la la, I can’t hear you! 🙉 Trump did nothing wrong! La la la la la la la, I’m not listening!🙉 Trump did nothing wrong!”? If you refuse to do your job, if you refuse to fulfill your responsibilities, I think we should refuse to pay you. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Right?

  4. Trump saying “Read the transcript” is like Jeffrey Dahmer saying “Check the fridge”. Steven Colbert

    1. @Massialot I wouldnt go that far. It’s an honest mistake when reading text comments. It’s hard to discern if a person is being sarcastic or sincere through a YouTube comment. Especially when a person doesn’t personally know the person making the comment.

  5. If Trump were a “stable genius”, he would at least find a way to get DIRT on the Bidens without INCRIMINATING himself! Lol.. A total clown and laughing stock!

    1. You can support Trump, or the Constitution, but not both. He has obstructed justice according to Robert Mueller in his testimony, and his report of you were capable of reading it. Everything he’s done had either benefited himself, or Russia. Extortion of a foreign government for personal gain is soliciting a bribe. That is one of two enumerated crimes under impeachment reasons. This is about the survival of our Constitution, not political partisanship. Biden’s actions were endorsed by the European Union, and the administration, including the Republicans at that time. This is about our country, and the rule of law, not ignoring it to protect some hustler.

    2. If he was a stable genius, our infrastructure would be fixed, immigration reform would be done, every American would have affordable healthcare. The kurds would not have been abandoned. North korea and Iran would have stopped their nuclear programs. The middle east problem would be solved. The two state solution for israel and Palestine would have been achieved. He is not a stable genius.

    1. @IfixAirCraft2 do you know how dumb you sound? Asking for favors is illegal? Lol. Look, the aide was given, witholding aide wasn’t even mentioned in the call, ukranians president didn’t even know about it. If you are implying there was some extortion scheme, wouldn’t it be important to have him at least know about it? Lol trump even releasing the transcript shows his transparency, something that’s nearly unheard of for a president. Schiff wasn’t even expecting this, which is why this coup attempt will fall flat on it’s face.

    2. @Jon Nelson you sound completely delusional. Wouldn’t you want to know the origins of the investigation? Isn’t that what you all clamour for? Seems like it’s not trump that has something to hide. You investigating him for 3 years, so buckle up and get ready for the truth. These ongoing coup attempts have been falling flat.

    3. Kevin Mezentsev If trump has nothing to hide where are his taxes? If trump doesn’t lie, where was his father born?

    1. olobar5 – Doesn’t matter. Hours of sworn depositions since then say there was an extortion plot towards Ukraine, all hatched by Chetto VonBonspurs. Transcripts…..whistle blowers……all irrelevant at this point.

    2. Susie Q you might want to listen to mrs hills testimony….she even proves the gop wrong on their rabbit hole conspiracies they are spreading to the public ( trump supporters) to make you think Ukraine helped Hillary during 2016 election…it’s dangerous to national security. She isn’t just anybody… she works as an ambassador, she even states that Russia has a huge agenda and it worked during last election and working to dismantle 2020 election ….Trump needs foreign help and covering for Putin he still is…Trump knows he can’t win fair so he does the same thing again ask for foreign help. WHICH IS ILLEGAL, actually look this up in our election laws department… it’s been a law since the beginning of elections 🤦🏾‍♀️…it’s not hard to research.
      your crazy to think all these ambassadors are out to get him when they are only doing their sworn oath to our nation’s security and our constitution…you can look these codes and laws up under White House government sites if your thinking everything is liberal ran or biased….I swear you trump supporters need to stop listening to fox and trump rally’s and do actual research on government laws vs propaganda rumors smh…

    3. Simone Wright I went to http://www.house.gov one thing I will agree with the right on, I don’t trust msm. CNN had a segment “Democrats release transcripts”…..nope, a committee of democrats AND Republicans released transcripts

    1. No he is NOT! NOT A TRANSCRIPT! IT SAYS NOT A VERBATIM TRANSCRIPT CALL NOTES! ITS CALL NOTES AND NOT VERBATIM SO WHY IS CHRIS PUSHING HIS DISINFORMATION!!!🤬🤬🤬

    1. Jack Mehoff , your as dumb as the 45th president, the point that you are pointing out spelling mistakes , and not defending the president using facts …

    1. @Michae Dove Trump’s strategy when dealing with people who criticize him is to attack them on a personal level.

      First he dehumanizes them with nicknames and then he starts to passively aggresively insult them to his supporters and followers.

      Not ,knowing the identity of the whistleblower does not allow him to do so. At least not as effectively.

      It has little to do with his “lawyer”… the Republican’s defense is to attack the process and the witnesses. They don’t really have a defense for the President’s actions.

    1. that’s another thing Trump and Paul are attempting to use, the right to meet one’s accuser which doesn’t have a thing to do with an impeachment only a criminal trial, you know those things the DOJ says Trump is safe from while a sitting President.

  6. Those who didn’t whistle blow when they heard this crime are the ones who should be investigated. They violated their oath to defend and protect the constitution. Party before country is dishonorable.

    1. Yeah, makes me think that they’ve heard and seen a lot while they’ve been involved with the Trump administration, and if they didn’t turn in information about this particular thing; what else have they kept quiet about?.

  7. *Nixon:* “I’m not a crook”
    *Clinton:* “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”
    *Trump:* “Read the transcript”

    1. @mike swiental Ah yes, no one.. except for the majority of the country. Oh no wait, let me guess. “Fake polls”. Sure thing bud, Fox is now suddenly “fake news” too. 🙄

    2. @mike swiental how can you assert that when we have conflicting reports coming out of the white house about that very thing.
      So how can you, a regular American, with no connection to the White House whatsoever, assert that another human didn’t do something?
      Or are you believing someone who has consistently and regularly lied to you? That would be trump. I think his provable lies are now over 15,000 apiece.

    3. @BanthemOnCraftcadia I can assert this because I was smart enough to read the Ukrainian presidents report, the ikrainian foreign ministers statement and the former Ukrainian president who all say they were never pressured, =nocrime

    4. @mike swiental If you were that smart you would have realized that, that in of itself doesn’t really mean much? I myself don’t trust what foreign leaders say or do, since any one of them could turn into a tyrant at any moment.
      I do trust what members of our military forces say. They pretty much are blunt and to the point, plus having a love of our country that’s a mile deep.
