Claire McCaskill: House Dems Are Making A Better Case Than Team Trump So Far | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
LOL, Trump’s defense team docs are like Trumps working desk in WH, nothing to show
That’s what happens when you have no facts to back up your “argument.”
Also why would Moscow Mitch be tired ? They just had 6 week Xmas vacation and they really do not need to do any work at all in senate .
Was making senate trial rules too much work for Moscow Mitch ? If that the case he should quit today .
@Pete Lind You make a good point. All this impeachment stuff is really getting in the way of Mitch’s Do Nothing Senate’s hard work doing nothing! 😅
I liked the part where Cippilone screamed that the House refused to let the White House be part of their hearings.
Especially when Nadler then produced the letter he sent inviting them to cross-examine witnesses and Cippilone’s letter refusing the offer. 😆😅😆😅😆😅

@Kevin NYC the article was written in May of 2004. It also stated this:
“Catucci, a fixture on the waterfront for decades and a regular contributor to Rep. Jerrold Nadler, has never been charged with a crime.”
So why not accept his camp contributions, he was a businessman in his district providing jobs that donated to support Nadlers campaign for years. There is no impropriety mentioned nor a huh moment there. Nor any follow up to anything amiss.
This is what Republicans do, they make something out of nothing when it comes to Democrats, but when the facts prove more than a coincidence to Republicans corruption they refuse to follow the trail and see the truth for what it is.
Fun fact: Trump donated to Kamala Harris Campaign in the past. Does that mean she is a part of his corrupt administration? Nope money sent, money received.
However, I would still love to watch Kamala Harris break Trump down under oath about this and his past crimes. She’s a brilliant prosecutor and her cross examinations are brutal. And no, criminal or not, that doesn’t make him eligible for a refund.
@Kevin NYC
You can’t refute the facts so you try to distract people with something that has absolutely nothing to do with this? Typical Russian BS.
donnie dump’s SCREAM TEAM keeps getting busted!😂👏👏
Well duh!..The only case the republicans are making is let’s have a cover up…
@INCARNATE And if you call now we’ll throw in a second one free! All this for a whopping $19.99 + tax, shipping and handling including. That’s your: “do us a favor, though,” a “perfect call,” “just corruption,” “I want nothing,” “2nd Amendment” and many more! Call now to qualify for the additional bonus of NO TRAIL IN THE SENATE! Remember! Call us now!
AND YOU BELIEVE THE WORDS OF
NANCY PIGLOSI YOU GUYS ARE PATHETIC
COVER UP😂😂😂😂
The Dems are on top of their game
No theatrics just stating facts
I agree. They’re doing better than I thought. Running rings around their opponent even though they have 11% less members in their caucus…
57% of voters want a fair and open trial. If they don’t get it, beware November 2020.
Its 60% of americans want a fair trial!!
@Cooking with TSS you’re a recipe for disaster.
Tessmage Tessera A big percentage of the 43% are racist and they think trump is working for them the rest are the elite
actually, that number as of yesterday was 69%
The spookiest thing I heard from a Republican (tall bloke, glasses, dopy looking) was, “only guilty people hide witnesses and evidence”! Or maybe it was just a Freudian slip!
“Only the mob takes the 5th amendment.” – Donald Trump
@supernaturalta HAHA! GREAT! 🤣 😂 🤣
I missed that one. Several fit your description. LOL
Lemme guess, 1999 Clinton impeachment? Lindsey Graham?
They ought to hand out bananas in the chamber, to celebrate the new style of republic.
YEP .. We are now officially a “banana republic” .. Anytime the U.S. Senate throws a trial.
Obama’s name came up again by the Rep….wow he has impressed them so much, they can’t help but bring in his name constantly
Barry Sutton That’s awesome she’s so late to the race it’s over feel the Bern 🔥🔥🔥
Just more deflection like the devil using the bible
Obama exceeded my expectations as President. Glad I voted for him and wish I could do it again.
they’re obsessed with Obama, Biden and Hillary
Joy Brautigam because they’re all crooks
Trump has now told more than 16k lies since taking office. And the volume of lies that continues to flow from his mouth like a busted fire hydrant have only increased with time. Fun fact: The first lie Trump told to the American people, the lie that would be the foundation of every other lie he would tell as president, was the lie he told when he raised his right hand, and took his oath of office.
Gary Mellow if you want socialism/communism I’ll give you my Cuban citizenship and I’ll pay your one way ticket, but you won’t leave your a coward.
@The Cuban Conservative only real Americans would be on the side of the Constitution and would want to get to the bottom of the highly suspect and questional actions of this rogue president. Being of Cuban decent you should know a thing or two about living under a dictatorship. But if you feel that a communist government is a much better system, then keep supporting the president, he is leaning towards destroying our Democracy for a reason. Also, the push from the cons to call all Democrats “commies” ts a deflection as to what that really want . Everything they say the Democrats are doing, they are actually doing themselves. Be careful what you wish for.
16 K lies?
Only if you listen to this garbage fake news channel or CNN and many other Democrat outlets. You guys are done. You earned it.
@George Sanchez I think it’s pretty sad that Trump’s supporters don’t even know when he is lying to them. Yes. Over 16,000 lies is true and it’s not CNN going the fact checking nor the tally.
Trump has to be the absolute worst client imaginable for a defense lawyer.
We’ve all heard the old saying that the two people you should never lie to are your doctor, and your lawyer. Well it’s all but guaranteed that Trump has been lying to his entire defense team since day one. It’s also a pretty safe bet that Trump hasn’t provided them with any documents or evidence that proves his innocence. But to be fair, any documents or witnesses from his inner circle can only testify to his unmitigated guilt.
fun fact: DJ Trump is the most litigated individual in the entire US history – (that was even before he became potus)
I’d laugh if 5 of the Republican Senators developed piles for sitting that long and had to be hospitalized, making them unable to take part in any future votes… 😄
Moscow Mitch will call in sick.
They could all develop bone spurs. That would solve allot of problems.
LOL, those “piles” then develop shards of waste that go from their rear ends & thru their Republican cranium’s and found absolutely nothing there, but WASTE. Surprise-SURPRISE !
The house counsel did not talk that much because they stay from talking about the substance of the debate. They’d rather whine and attack the impeachment managers rather than confront the accusations.
“A republic if you could keep it” And it sure does seem like the Republicans are going to lose their seats for this cover up
🤞
It’s a shame that Republicans are so willing to give up our Republic. They seem to want a Totalitarian system instead of a Democracy. By defending the bad behavior of their IMPOTUS they are surely in favor of leadership that does whatever he pleases, even if it violates or constitution and the rights of the people of the USA. Our Constitution was written to get out from under a Monarchy and the USA is not Kingdom.
HRTsAFyre You’re right good on you for being a patriot country first not party first.I am a Dem both party’s are corrupt it long overdue for a reset.i feel the only one in politics that has the will to reset is Bernie.
@Gary Mellow Democrats are quick to force the bad apples to resign their seats when there is any question of impropriety. The Republicans have a history of turning a blind eye to their criminals and cover up scandals. The only way to drain that swamp is by doing a major purge of Republicans. Vote Blue, no matter who. I will support the Democratic nominee.
@HRTsAFyre Steve king would disagree with you. And why is illhan Omar and rashida talib still in the Democrat party? How much jew hating do they need to do.
I think 53 members need to be removed like the cancer they are.
It is said that every time Moscow Mitch tells a lie his wattle grows
🎶corruption junction what’s your function GOP🎶 #TRE45ON
Lol that’s a good hashtag for the radical leftist losers on Twitter too bad the Democrats will lose again. Trump 2020 🙏 😆
#DARKSTATErepublicanism
This will go on for 2 weeks then there is no stopping the Trump Train
Love it! Gobble…gobble!
Trump’s “legal” team has presented *no* evidence in Trump’s defense.
None.
And stonewalled all firsthand-witnesses that could have “cleared” him on the charges if they could.
Trump is 100% percent *guilty* on all charges.
You can’t lie about a lie
We know but the brain dead love him for his evil lying all the time
@David Hale we want them Lowdown Dogs now but satan trump want let his evil cult do it
WHERES THE CRIME
STOP SAYING “PARTY LINE”
YOU KNOW THE FACTS!
Witnesses and documents are needed in a trial.
There should not be a party line. They should be defending the constitution not Trump. They should want answers and the facts. This should not be a partisan issue.
Trump’s going to win again
Looney Tunes will scream at the sky again
@Barry Sutton Chicken Little wasn’t part of Looney Tunes.
@HRTsAFyre you realize impeachment is solely a democrat tactic right? And anti impeachment has both party support…
Moscow Mitch and ALL of Treasonous Trump’s enablers deserve to spend the rest of their anti-American lives in PRISON!
Lock them up!
Lock them up!
Lock them up!
Robert Rodgers. Come lock me up if you think you can. Don’t expect others to do what your not willing or capable of doing. You sure do talk tough let’s see it.
#DARKSTATErepublicanism
I think you mean Deep State DemoRATS lol 😆
@David Hale Russia thanks you for your service trumpsucker now go clutch your assault rifle and hide under the bed LOL
spacecowboy7591 come and take it coward. I’ll wait outside for you. Ain’t gonna be no hiding. Bring as many of your pasty Heshe friends as you feel like.be sure and bring your hammer and sickle communist flag. Mines red white and blue. With Stars and Stripes. You Communist cockroach
“They’re worn out” we, the people, are worn out!
“They’re not used to listening for long periods of time.” That should tell you all you need to know. Listening should be a majority of an elected congressional member’s time. The Republicans had better start listening. November is coming.
T r u m p 2 0 2 0
Trump’s going to win again
Looney Tunes will scream at the sky, again😁
Kavanaugh 2.0 only worse
