Congressional Hearing Will Take Another Look At ‘Individual 1’ | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Moronic Individual #1 how do you plead?
Hillary did it! And Obama.
@Rursus Bingo! That’s the Trump mentality.
@SuperCorrector1 You seem to be very confused about what a ”troll’ is, since you’re the one here trolling and I’m here watching a very well respected journalist and truth teller who I greatly admire.
Hopefully Individual No. 1 will find himself in Deep No. 2.
@Ashleigh Nelson Gracias.
@Ramon Guzman De nada!
@SuperCorrector1 eat Trumps
💩 👀
👅
Would be nice to see Individual 1 face ANY consequences as a result of his crimes
You can guarantee when he ends up a court he will have his lawyers saying he should not be charged he has Dementia.
Please follow the lawsuits imposed by Tim Fitton of Judicial Watch…..If any of us listen to only one side of any story we are being fools. I’ve been around for a lonnng time and seen too many smokescreens to believe any news media. Never in the history of mankind has communication been so easy and free to investigate ourselves. We are not getting it from any biased main stream media.
@SuperCorrector1 Lol you cant defend your initial statement or refute anyone. Are you a troll or just very stupid or are you a racist/terrorist?
Explain why the DoJ and Barr (Trump alliance) are protecting Epstein and those connected to him.
It’s not left vs right. Its sociopaths vs everyone else.
@ZeoDyce Guy standing in an apple orchard with ripe apples literally _falling_ on his head: “What apples?” If he’s that far gone, what’s the point of even recognizing his existence?
Juicy news today… Another Donnie Shortfinger melt-down looming, is it the final meltdown? Going to require some hamberders… yami… sit back and enjoy the show
Bing bing bong bong bribe bribe confeeefeee!!!
Instead of President 45 he will always be known to me as Individual 1!
Spanky Bonespurrs for me.
@Anna Koch current situation don’t mainly stem from lack of laws but failure to apply existing ones. muellers report listed several instances of obstruction. cohen’s trial pointed to other crimes and the almost daily corruption scandals adds even more. A president committing crimes can’t be charged before he is removed and for good reason. As long as the gate keepers of society under the rule of law for whatever reason don’t strive to uphold the system whatever rules and laws put in place doesn’t mater
M K Exactly if someone calls you a racist then you’re a racist that’s how it goes
@M K If its female, goodlooking and breathing, Trump will think with his mushroom willy, not with his racist head. He’s an equal opportunity p-ssy grabber.
yes, finally the narcissist is number one
If Cohen went to jail then individual #1 should also be in jail, although Cohen went to jail for additional reasons as well.
I’d be shocked if they are upheld, but the court filings have sealed indictments and mention they couldn’t charge individual 1 at this point in time. I’m hoping they can charge him after he’s out of office, like Mueller confirmed twice during his under oath testimony.
Ian Home 👍👍💙
Trump needs 5 years like his buddy cohen got on this crime.
This would be what Trump is really worried about. If he loses the election he will go to trial on this case after he is out.
House Majority , he should spend more time in prison than his buddies cuz he is the head or the leader of the crimes.
USA has only Mafia Trump law to protect his criminal behaviour without justice.
True.
Everyone should think about all the stalled or vacated investigations. Like, what happened to ‘The Inquirer’s vault’ and all the juicy contents? Also what about the trump charity, and the inauguration finance scandal?
That may be up to s.d.n.y.
I think the investigations continue on behind the scenes… the press doesn’t follow-up. Perhaps not enough money in it, or, just too much new stuff to blow-up into huge adrenaline rushes for us….. we buy more when we’re good and worked up. 😂
Good thing is when democrats take the office, it wont be Trump’s DOJ anymore.
The Old Gringo, right. You’re absolutely right. We should. But…but…but… Well, after eating, sleeping, and generally getting on with daily life, even the most relaxed of us is only going to have, what, 10 to 15 spare hours each day. And surely no one would begrudge someone taking a couple of days off a year. Call it five days a year, so that leaves only three or four thousand odd hours a year to keep an eye on Junior as he stumbles his way around the White House, US, and the world, ruining our Ives and the carpets and wallpaper in the process. It’s just not enough time, man, Just Not Enough! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!!???? 😭
Remember, Congress is in recess until Sept. 9th….it was supposed to be the 6th, but they pushed it back due to Hurricane Dorian. Anyway, after recess is over, this will ALL heat up again. That’s when we should break out the popcorn. It will be a real roller coaster ride, so buckle up, people.
Folks wanting Impeachment – sit tight!!
If Impeachment starts tomorrow, it will be concluded, passed to the Senate for them to vote against in prime election time – and the “no collusion – no obstruction” message becomes a “fact’ for Trump to use on the campaign trail..
Mark my words – Impeachment will begin early next year (March-ish), knowing it will not have the time to reach the Senate in time by November!
The purpose; the inquiry will bring forth Trumps crime and corruption during campaigning up to November, nullifying his campaigning efforts, not allowing him to take the ‘no cullusion – no obstruction’ message to his base, and his crimes will be in the forefront of the voters as they walk into the voting booth..
Guaranteed – Pelosi has got this! Sit tight and be patient..
Mike Reseigh an attempt at impeachment now will make T a martyr to his followers and just serve to make them more active to re-elect him.
Traekas7! You sound like a 5 year old. Stick to the point of the discussion, don’t revert to calling names.
Your on to sumin!💪💪
I do not want impeachment. I want him on this crime after he loses in 2020
Trump needs 5 years like his buddy cohen got on this crime.
This would be what Trump is really worried about. If he loses the election he will go to trial on this case after he is out.
@Dan Fremont
I think you should call Nancy and tell her all about it
Rachel, just heard about Trump telling Vice President pence to stay in his hotel in Ireland! The hotel is On the other side of Ireland! Now, the taxpayers pay Donald Trump !!! Plus the cost of a helicopter to take him to his meetings !!! He also can golf at trumps golf course while there! On taxpayers money!!!!!!!!
Mother probably doesn’t allow her boy Michael to play golf
Outrageous, ain’t it? Mofo is and does all, EVIL!
OMG trump needs to attack the media again to discredit them from shedding light on the trump crime family… Wake up call America.
Trump needs 5 years like his buddy cohen got on this crime.
This would be what Trump is really worried about. If he loses the election he will go to trial on this case after he is out.
After the last two-and-a-half years, THIS is the wakeup call? This is par for the course at this point.
Hope barr burns down after the election. Truly deserves it.
He deserves prison for his many attempts to deceive the public and subvert the law.
Barr is not going to prison
Any more than crooked Hillary will go to prison
And Clinton got impeached for a BJ! And a VaJjay soaked cigar. Gotta love Trump’s integrety.
@markj6700 Trump actually said he was in love with that fool running China, Trump is Bi? Who knew?
Richie Tattersall
Nothing wrong with being bi. Terribly immoral to be a lying turd of a leader and locking kids into cages.
@Richie Tattersall I lie about BJs all the time. But this POS is a Mofo of a liar.
Bottom line, if Cohen is in prison over these hush money payments, then “Individual #1″ should be in prison along with him.”
Trump needs 5 years like his buddy cohen got on this crime.
This would be what Trump is really worried about. If he loses the election he will go to trial on this case after he is out.
House Majority
Don’t forget… multiple obstruction charges.
David J he will be. Just got to wait till he loses in 2020, then soon after that he will be sharing a cell with Mike and Bubba the 6 ft 10 hairy homosexual “
@Baron Von Schneider You’ve been misinformed; there were two cases, first in August 2108 was for campaign finance violations related to paying these two women. Try and keep up ffs.
What do you get if you take 44 from 45? Individual 1.
Individual 1: I plead not guilty your honor for reason of insanity
Individual 2 should be William Barr for protecting Individual 1 & obstructing justice on his behalf.
Trump’s going to Prison and those Ratt’s he Brought in with him .lol
I sincerely hope you are right, but…”How do you plead?” “Crazy, your pistachioship.”
Are we actually moving towards my < popcorn amid thrills> moment?
Follow $$$$$$$. Moscow mitch is dirty duck.
We got the info from his sons mouth. We get all the financing we need from Russia. When do we see Trumps taxes?
Boyd. I suppose we won’t see his taxes as long as Barr is working so hard to block everything !
My biggest hope is as soon as he is out of office he is arrested for these crimes and put away for life.
