President Trump has admitted to attempted collusion, secretly demanding a foreign government to look into his political rival. A record number of House Democrats are now joining the ranks of Congress members who back Trump’s impeachment . Walter Shaub, former director of the U.S. office of government ethics, argues America is ‘facing a crisis moment’ where ‘a President of the United States has solicited an attack on our election’ and questions ‘whether Congress on both sides of the aisle’ can tolerate it. Aired on 09/23/19.

'Crisis Moment': President Donald Trump Admits Seeking Foreign Help To Go After Joe Biden
Impeach the creep! Admitting guilt on TV! Abuse of power is his modus operandi!
@You Tube you are right 👈 you are another one!!
Zionist agenda in full go! they replace europe and us states with foreigners … pls hare the info!
Yes…impeach him….wait Biden s out of office.
@Herb Clarke Store s empty. Already sold out by Clinton, Bush ll, Obama/Biden.
@You Tube Bingo !
“Imprison & Impeach” him!
Don’t forget that first part.
It’s what we all have been waiting for these last three years…
@Brendan McMahon I agree
@Wilma More people wanted Hillary in office in 2016 but that didnt happen did it. U need to grow up and do ur own research and quite believing the lies. U heard Mueller say that if he wasnt the sitting president he would be in jail right now. but yet u still eat up the lies that come out of Twittlers mouth. I bet u believed Sharpie-gate also lol. How dumb do u have to be to use a sharpie on a map and show it to the world them act like u know nothing about it? lmao
@test Testing I disagree
@Brendan McMahon Carlos is making valid points. Answering them should be easy
@Robert Swims thats all good 👍👍👍 you have every right to disagree
Trump fighting corruption is like a fish draining the pond.
@Ralf Häggström isnt this another rabid witchhunt by the meullers of this world . Trump is trying to make friends with enemies . Isnt that a good thing ? Like duh.. just kidding of course.
Making “friends” and work for is not the same NJET …………………@p8ently obvious
Vladi or a Fox news guarding the White Hen House.
Soon to be KRASNIJ DATSA ……………..@mjimih
His version of “draining the swamp” is to add more gaters and pour in more slime like the Яussian money launderer Wilbur Ross
*Investigating Trump for corruption or criminal activity is like investigating moisture at the bottom of the ocean.*
kristabella222 what corruption has Donald trump been a part of
@You Tube Stop lying.
You win the internet with that comment….awesome
DJScuff edJays IS YOUR BRAIN ENGAGED? OR IS IT 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@Robert Swims I refuse to engage in ANY kind of dialog with you brain dead trumpanzees
The Orange Donorrhea thinks the U.S. Constitution is that piece of toilet tissue paper stuck under his shoe. 🤪
@john smith I know right? and the rest of us have to follow it.. dumb dumb; however, feels like he is above it and has absolutely ZERO respect for it.
@tehjhu Prove who wrong? dumb dumb? no one is untouchable.. he wishes he were untouchable and has been operating under that premise, which is ultimately going to be his undoing.. and I will be dancing a jig of glee.
connie baldwin I mean ok I hope you’re right, but thus far none of his decisions have ever harmed him. The Access Hollywood thing was supposed to be the end, nope got elected. Then the Mueller report was supposed to nail him, nope sailed through that. Now this is going to finally bring him down! Well maybe, but I doubt it. Republicans like power too much. Democrats like arguing about who’s greener too much. Trump will sail through this like everything else. Wanting him to be punished for his stupidity and corruption doesn’t make it happen.
@tehjhu
The problem is Trump’s bad behavior and unusual behavior is being NORMALIZED. He is so crass, rude, insulting, etc. That he has created a new level of low expectations for the President. His supporters have bought it hook, line, and sinker. He is openly breaking laws because no one is doing anything about it. If nothing happens, it will only get worse. He is basically holding up a middle finger to Congress everyday.
If nothing happens after this, our Democracy is in danger. I put nothing past Trump, McConnell, or Barr. I seriously believe that if Trump loses in 2020, he won’t leave the White House peacefully. I believe he will try to start a war while being a lame duck President, then declare National emergency to stay in. Or if he will incite public violence by some of his boneheaded assault rifle carrying base.
Good one lol
Checks & Balances aren’t working. Unless the American people abandon their keyboards and cushy bubbles, strike and mass protest or become numb souls just like the people of Russia.
@Eli Rivera our constitution desparately needs reforming.
We no longer have a working government. Thanks to the Republicans who have destroyed the constitution under this nutcase in the WH.
Patrick Hag no it doesn’t. A lot of things in this country need reforming the constitution is not one of them. Besides adding amendments to it.
I get your point … but in fairness the people of Russia do fight back some. I often marvel at their guts to go up against the oligarch mafia.
The real numbed souls of earth are the people of North Korea especially, but also in some rural areas of China. At least 10 percent of the global population is being denied access to the “worldwide web” digital common space. Those people will not be on the same page as most of the rest of the world (by design!). Similar to how a controlling nightmare husband prevents his wife from making friends with other wives, lest she compares notes and learns her life sucks compared to other women. Information is power. Fear creates silence and appreciation of status quo. Numbed souls.
When trump said, I alone can fix it, he mearn the election. and now he’s working on 2020
Ely Pevets, Yeah, but, actually, he had plenty of help.
@jannmutube IMPEACH HIM NOW – THIS IS WELL BELOW THE BARR.
He uses several OTHER COUNTRIES, not him alone ………………
Ely Pevets : America will NEVER forgive the Dems if they don’t IMPEACH. ENOUGH with, “strategies,” and, “swing states!” We don’t CARE. DO THE RIGHT THING, NANCY!
@Ash Roskell Pelosi is cautious. She is wisely waiting for that critical mass of inevitability when the water starts rushing into the boat. In other words the Senate will NOT impeach the orange jerk EVER (Unless Chumpy Nukes an ally, which may be enough), AND THEN the WINTER election season ramps up just in time for repugliCONS to bash Dems over the head with ”the witch hunt”. Chumpy is like the Mobster Teflon Don. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gotti.
The courts dealing with the subpoenas by congress & the Mitchell/Senate repug intransigence will SUPER NOVA explode by Christmas, solving all our problems. But only if Pence ushers the most deceitful, arrogant, ignorant, and despicable human being out of the White House on his keester. Ain’t gonna happen… so we have to VOTE His Majesty Out Tues Nov 3rd 2020!
Its probably far worse than we realize.
That’s a very scary thought.
you are so right. research Sabbatean Frankists (to the end) because there lies the (terrible) truth.
joey hesse
Most assuredly so!
Nancy Pelosi & Congress needs to act quick or tRump will get away with even more treason & treachery & we will be beyond the point of any return.
@Robert Swims the fact that you’re asking shows you’re either ignorant or wantonly stupid. Watch the vid all those questions are answered by trump himself.
Won’t it be nice to be able to just spell the “president’s” name normally again? for me, I won’t have to put it in quotes every time I use it. I never have addressed him by “president” and will NEVER address him by “president”. He is an impostor… a wanna be, grifter con man who did not even really want the job in the first place but his ego would not let him stop. In my opinion the US has never had such a pathologically ill “president”.
The corrupt president, is committing a crime, big surprise. Time to go to jail Trump!
@henry navarro you are just dumb
@David Hollenshead Trump Derangement Syndrome is incurable!!!
@Vance Watley Poorly educated Vance that what you’re amount other thing’s
Lock Trump up! Lock Trump up!
There was a crisis moment from day one, since that repulsive thug entered the Oval Office, in case you haven’t noticed.
@volcano hi if you can’t see what this thug has done by now you’re either willfully ignorant or a moron. I don’t like my country being run like a gangster operation with a mad captain at the helm. This will ruin our country not only now but from now on. Look at what he’s done,then put a democrat’s name there and tell us your head wouldn’t explode. Stop with the hypocrisy. He’s detrimental to our country,our democracy,our role in the world and all other democracies.
@Momszy Cat You don’t like President Trump. I get it. But you have to give SPECIFIC EXAMPLES of what he’s done that’s CRIMINAL. No one has to take your clouded opinion as fact…
@SceneMissingFilms what about those who have opposed him even before he took office? Will you not admit that they’re blinded by their delusional hatred for President Trump? His detractors can’t even give him credit for any positive accomplishments, for example, the booming economy, the lowest Black and Hispanic American unemployment rates ever, the relocation of the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and the USMCA trade deal with Mexico and Canada, just to name a few.
@Robert Swims trump sucks
@Robert Swims what has he done nothing
Treason, plain and simple, he admits to it. Enough of this crap.
I’m for impeaching Trump, but he didn’t commit “treason.” Bill Weld ought to know what treason is, and it’s committed only during wartime. Bill Weld shouldn’t be throwing around nonsense any more than Trump.
@mortenthorpe A board of directors for a company in Ukraine. THIS is why you liberals are clueless. All you know is the half-truths or flat out lies you’ve been told and never, ever know the FULL story. No wonder TDS is real.
THughes ahem… are you writing me now, or your mirror image…? Insults get you nowhere, and I suppose that your parents are forever responsible for all that you do? Or do you grow up and become your own person, just as Joe Bidens son???
@Delia Bravo since you disagree on how President Trump communicated with the president of Ukraine, that means he’s committed treason? SMH
Impeach him and pass it over to the Republicans in the Senate who will vote not to convict. Then the American voters will have a stark choice.
@snowflake melter What? You sound stupid!
@Robert Swims The Republican party is no longer what it use to be. Understandable why they would bail out!
snowflake melter YOUR BRAIN HAS MELTED!!!!💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Impeach, and through all the process keep saying, time and time again, that it is a matter of principle, that must be done even if it is fruitless given that Moscow Mitch and the Repub Senators are gonna wrongly discard the impeachment because they are corrupt and have to save their criminal Dear Leader, the orange conjob who lives in the WH.
Impeach the traitor.
Impeach Donald Trump now!
ITMFA
@Bethany Gee Well, thank you, Beth. Your “deplorables” redux is what got Trump elected in the first place. Believe it or not, you are not smarter or better than the people you insult outside your bubble of like-minded wannabee socialists. You have to commit a crime and be convicted for it before you are a criminal, under our system of justice. Trump doesn’t qualify, no matter what the talking heads on msnbc tell you.
@Wilma Nancy Pelosi will impeach is not over the fun just began
@Wilma Look your President is the biggest POS who came out from NYC. Eat him
@Wilma Oh, Wilma. So many assumptions. So much hypocrisy! Who’s the person insulting others and thinking they’re better? The only thing I said about you is that you’re being “a raging b!tch,” and I stand by it all the more after reading your subsequent comment. Didn’t you literally call the OP stupid AND act like you were better than them by “explaining” to them?
I’m going to blow your mind with this next point: not everyone who disagrees with you is a socialist! That’s just an empty insult provided to you by YOUR talking heads so you can feel like the only REAL Americans are the ones who think like you.
I think I’m probably done with you now because, judging from your last comments, you can’t really make a point and I prefer a challenge. Good luck in trying to keep anything from penetrating your fact-free thought space.
Trump is an obscenity. Impeach
I agree, he should just #resign. Enough now.
Not gonna happen
@Wilma Give him and his future imitators enough time and the answer will be yes.
Please, answer this honestly. Has Trump ever condemned White nationalism/white supremacy?
“The conversation was largely corruption” LOL. You can’t make this stuff up
“These aren’t the droids you’re looking for” -Giuliani
“Maybe these are the droids you’re looking for but you’re not looking for them. Because they’re not droids. You have no eyes. I am a rutabaga.” -also Giuliani
baerleon…Jedi mind tricks only work on the weak minded, ie., the MAGA crowd.
“Creating to the corruption” means what exactly? Donnie is losing it over this story, especially since his own party is starting to rebuke him…
@baerleon Rudy strikes me more as Jar Jar, he just says stupid things and keeps smiling…
Russia if you can hear me… 😑 that alone should have stopped his candidacy.
This presidency is just one massive hoax on the American public.
Wrong, you guys will remembered in history as the sick part of the world.
Chaos is a ladder.
Obama has something Trump never even heard of—— dignity
Created isis, highly dignified
Cool
Why wouldn’t he try it again and Republicans allowed him to get away with meddling in 2016 election?
not only republicans, democrats ALSO let him get away with ZERO consequences, let’s be honest here.
Capricorn Queen ♕ you must not get out much
Call Robert S. Mueller III. He has the answers
Luis Jalabert what did he do?
