Dems Eyeing Trump Impeachment See Lesson In Watergate Cross-Exam | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

Critics say democrats botched their first impeachment hearing in questioning hostile Trump witness, Corey Lewandowski. But the lawyer for the Judiciary Committee, Barry Berke, is drawing praise for exposing Lewandowski with a fiery cross-exam. Ari Melber reports on the Watergate example of cross examination that “changed the rules a little bit.” Elie Mystal, Executive Editor of "Above The Law" tells Melber democrats need to "get over themselves" and "let the professionals handle this going forward."

  1. The dems need more lawyers to do thier bidding they need to be professional as they can in order to impeach 45.

    1. Yes Yes Lord Yes 🙌🙌 🙏 Amen to that ❤️ finally justice with the “*Best “””Lawyers In the USA YAY and this Lawyer here is One of the Best and he will be here ongoing YAY DEMOCRATS TAKE Trump and these Trump Traitors to Prison without Parole ….Let Get this Traitor pResident Crimmal leadership lock up !! (not for USA)*” The whistle blower knows!” “Trump is and has been investigated+ proof of Obstruction and also did conspiring too had the REPUBLICANs helping him -cover up by committing Obstrustion in Congress and MULLER’S investigations… They will all be held accountable..reap what you sow! “Trump’s and his little red wagon are going DOWN!!!!! Lollollollol hehehe

    2. The criminal prosecutors I see in action daily would have both comic Lew’ski and his stupid boss blubbering incoherently.

    3. @cat woman <--- another ignorant sheep. "My name is Rubin aka cat woman, and I always do what my master the media programs me to do. I don't know how to think for myself so I let the media think for me. The media would never lie to me because they know how especially naive I really am. Right now I'm programmed to hate Trump no matter what, and I'm programmed to attack anyone who disagrees with my master the media. The media is my truth, my way, and my life. Without the media I am nothing but with the media I am everything."

    1. gary
      His followers from the republicans are all just as bad, too. It’s disgusting how they freaked out about EVERYTHING President Obama ever did. The republicans are gone, in their place is a cult who excuse anything trump does, no matter how dangerous, harmful, shameful, or illegal. It’s the most unAmerican thing I’ve ever been witness to.

    2. @amptaxman look at all of you jealous ignorant sheep.
      “All of us dumbdowned liberal cattle are programmed by our master the media, to believe that we are better and smarter than a very successful, self made Billionaire businessman who also happens to be the current President of the United States of America. Trump may by a self made Billionaire, but we have top notch media programming to lead us all the way to victory. The media really cares about us and they truly know how especially naive we all are. We love the media for that. Without the media, we are nothing. But with the media, we are everything.”

    1. @Trumpocalypse <--- ignorant sheep. Believes and obey everything shown and said on the tell-lie-vision because she doesn't know any better. Were you raised to be this naive? None of the actors and actresses on the tell-lie-vision goes to jail. Stop being so gullible and dumbdowned.

  2. Why is this guy still on free foot? He clearly obstructed Congress, vote for contempt lock him up until he will tell the truth…

    1. Yes, a “sitting” President is immune, but this weasel? Obviously he’s negotiating to avoid prosecution by cooperating later in Trump’s obstruction trial.

    2. @De Lores Hollis <--- ignorant sheep. None of the actors and actresses on the tell-lie-vision goes to jail. It's all for entertainment. Stop being so gullible and naive.

    3. @De Lores Hollis You can’t impeach a President who hasn’t committed any crime. “Thou shalt not bear false witness” (9th Commandment). You are a liar, and you shall answer to the Lord Jesus Christ on Judgment Day (Revelation 21:8, KJV). Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Establish the Kingdom in Jerusalem, and keep the world safe from Democracy!

  3. I have to agree, Berke was the highpoint of the show yesterday. Here is another thing that was learned: This guy Lewandowski is a far gone lackey. If he gets elected to anything after this…well, God knows, considering who’s in the White House, eve Lew has a chance.

    1. The voting public in New Hampshire would have to be incredibly stupid to elect him even if they are Trump supporters. This guy admits he lies whenever he feels like it. Who would vote for someone who admits it outright?

  4. It took Berke 30 minutes to breakdown Lying Lew stonewalling while Democrat House members wasted five hours of not getting anywhere with Lying Lew. Next time treat Trump lackeys like the guilty person they are and let a lawyer do all the questioning.

    1. @Jim McLoughlin Yeah that might be the best course for Democrat House to take. Let Trump lackeys fight with House Democrat and the useless stunts the House Republican will try. At the end there will be a pit bull waiting to bit into Trump lackeys claims and lies.

    2. Actually, if you can watch a video of Karen Bass’s questioning, she got Lying Lew to fess up to quite a few things. There was 1 or 2 others who did too. Unfortunately, the only Clip I saw of Rep Bass was on Randi Rhodes clip from yesterday. MSNBC isn’t even showing it and it was the best one along with Jayapaul’s and that other woman who used to be a police chief. They are only showing the men’s clips although the women did a better job I think. HMMMMMMMMM. I ended up watching the whole thing and saw so many fumble the ball and then get mad. Lew was having fun messing with the men but he seemed to calm down with the no nonsense women. My point is that it’s not accurate to say that none of the Reps got him to admit anything because that’s just not true.

    3. @Trumpocalypse Yes, they had only 5 minutes each, however if they had a brain between them, they would’ve structured their questions and coordinated them to get the answers they were after. Instead they allowed their egos to get in the way.

    1. Not really. According to an attorney or maybe even someone on the Committee, I heard them say yesterday that they can charge him with contempt of Congress but then it goes to guess who? Barr. Good luck with that one. That seems like a weird protocol.

  5. Fiist thing’s Dem need to do its lock up this little worm for liars and cover up, than next witness will answers better, corporate smothers, than next steps is put trump in jail fasters…..

  6. Lew the Screw…anger management poster boy…it looked like Berke castrated Lew one inch at a time…thats how you cross examine a born again @$$hole…
