Dems Subpoena Trump WH In Impeachment Escalation | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Draft Dodging Donnie here again! LOVE the spot! For 3 years I have posted here and I said: “ME, Draft Dodging Donnie talks to Putin every week.”. Journalists spent 3 years asking “Why does he do weird crime in the open things?” For 3 years I have said, “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” Thanks for finally catching up to me. Rachel figured it out!!! She is on the one and only track that matters. Matching my words and deeds with Putin’s. Matching my words and deeds with Putin’s…… matching my words and deeds with Putin’s! “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” “Putin tells me what to do and I do it! Every week” Thanks and work harder!

Democrats want to rush in agenda 21 and agenda 30 and agenda 50, so you want to give up life as you know it to live in a mega city with no car or hamburger or choices in life? You want forced labor and to live wherever they tell you with whomever else they put you with and to get paid whatever they decide to pay you?
@melissa we can’t keep half a continent of fatsos in traffic jams to go buy a coffee cause they’re too lazy to make one. The world cant keep you this way. Sure Donald and Vladimir agree w you since they hate the world cause their moms were meanies to them. It’s that simple
What in the world is that supposed to mean? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=govL-fUAwMA
@melissa yes melissa you might not be able to leave in a Caucasian majority america no more where you want a sugar-cream-diab-drink and drive your suv to get this drink keeping aircon on. World is changing. This is understood. Yes.
And if they don’t comply, hold in contempt then arrest! As it would be for any of us ⚖️⚖️⚖️🇺🇸
if you have a fromal impeachment hearing have at it. IF YOU VIOLATE THE NORMS AND CUSTOMS LIKE TRUMP DOES WHAT’S THE POINT?
Now the institutions MUST fight back, and hard. This is the time. Or America as we knew it, as imperfect as it was, is gone.
Start “causing some pain”, Democrats, NOW! GO, act swiftly and get this Corrupt president and ALL of his cronies out asap!!! Thank you!
For the first time in American history, I would love for America to see a Congressional Sergeant of Arms take someone in custody, brought into Chambers and Adam Stiff charge the defendant. Bye, Bye Demorats.
So Biden can use his position as a US VP to withhold $1B from the Ukraine if they didn’t remove the leading prosecutor investigating corruption within the very oil company his son, Hunter Biden, held a position as a director on their board and that was okay?
Am I missing something? Are people on the left really ignoring this? That should have been investigated!
And when Trump merely suggests to the newly elected Ukranian President to pick up where the last President failed and continue their investigation of Hunter Biden and the oil company ( no quid pro quo implied) he’s threatened with impeachment?
Under a signed witness statement of the Ukranian prosecutor, Victor Shokin states under paragraph 8, page 4 of his testimony that he was fired for investigating corruption in Burisma Holdings because Hunter worked on the board. Read his entire statement and you’ll find that the Obama administration was controlling Ukrainian investigations by withholding money. THAT IS QUID PRO QUO!
Why arent people not seeing the DNC for what it is?
@Big Lance Yes, you are missing something, the facts. Go and look at the timeline of that prosecutor being fired instead of watching Fox News or some other right wing conspiracy show.
@Big Lance Yeah, you’re missing something huge – the fact that it has been thoroughly debunked. That did not happen, Biden did not pressure anyone to remove a prosecutor who was investigating his son. The prosecutor that he and others helped to have fired was himself corrupt and was NOT doing important investigations, they were literally fighting corruption. Trump and his allies have been ignoring that and trying to spin it like the prosecutor was some stand up guy trying to right wrongs in the world, but that’s simply not the case. I can understand why you’re confused and see this as hypocritical, but you’re being lied to.
And here’s the thing. There was no “merely suggesting” going on with this. The transcript that Trump himself released showed him very clearly saying that if Ukraine wanted the $400M in military aid that Congress passed, they would “have to do us a favour, though.” We saw in the texts that were released from the interview with one of the ambassadors entangled in this whole scheme that everyone involved knew what they were doing was wrong and tried to hide it and come up with a cover story. And then we saw Trump himself admit on camera that 1: he was hoping that Ukraine would be pressured into “starting a major investigation into the Bidens” and 2: that “China should start and investigation into the Bidens” and that “if they don’t, we have a lot of power over China.”
In regards to Shokin, that’s simply not true. Shokin announced that the company Hunter was on the board of was one of the companies he intended to investigate, and Obama even praised his appointment. But after 13 months, he had not done much of anything to ANY of the companies. He had over a year to investigate and had openly declared he would be investigating the company Hunter Biden worked for, and he didn’t. That is why he was forced out, not because he was investigating something they didn’t like.
Finally, you’re being misdirected with this “quid pro quo” thing. The fact that Trump was using a quid pro quo to get Ukraine to start this investigation is merely icing on the cake, it is NOT the reason an impeachment inquiry began – because quid pro quo is NOT NECESSARY for him to be impeached. It is a crime to have ANY foreign national or government participate or influence the election, including helping any campaigns, and Trump asked both Ukraine and China to investigate one of his primary political rivals in an effort to help his campaign. THAT is the crime he committed, but he’s trying to spin it like “there was no quid pro quo, therefore no crime.” That’s not how it works, though – merely asking a foreign government/person to help in the election in ANY WAY is an impeachable offence and a crime.
I hope this helps clear some of this up. I understand why you’re confused and seeing the Democrats as being hypocritical, but Trump and his allies are intentionally obfuscating and misdirecting in hopes of confusing the American population into complicity.
“David, are you hungry?” Oh my god XD
The damage has been done already but let’s stop the bleeding ASAP!
Truth Seeker nah nah nah nahhhhh goooooooodbyeeeeee 😂😂😂

AMEN!
Off with their heads!
I almost wish Lewendowski was witness this time around so i could watch him go to jail on contempt.
Dots: Wouldn’t the President then play Political Chess by obstructing justice again and absolve Lewendowski if he’s jailed?
@Rock Nouveau sure …pardon him …a couple days in the clink just to get that smug look off his face.
“David……are you hungry?” 😆
“The wheel grinds long but fine” is a great saying.
Yes……AG Barr has that quote on his wall in his office. These corrupt swamp dwelling Dems are about to have an Asteroid dropped on them.
Mills of God
@Da Choppah You mean like in “Release The Memo!” that was supposed to put everyone but Trumpees in Gitmo?
@88Gibson LesPaul Dems must answer for Uranium One , CIA FBI DOJ treason & much more , tick tock. What a year coming.
You Libs going down in flames.
Gonna be glorious.
” The law grinds slowly but grinds exceedingly fine “
Yeah they really bungled that one up, my goodness.

this is not the law, this is filth.
@Juju Rellama it’s called the constitution. Read it sometime amd watch john Adam’s on HBO to learn something because I know it must be hard for you to read.

See Adam Stiff, he’ll help you out

Ari needs to seriously stay away from these awkward jokes and exchanges in attempt to be funny. It always fails and looks forced.
my dad always used to say: “What if?” if aunty had a mustache, she d be an uncle, good one Necrosi. Hope dies last.
Oh yes we will ✊🏻🔷 the gloves are coming off and we’re punching you straight in the mouth Trump 🇺🇸
I’m curious about the roll of logic in all this too.
“He’s got 99 problems and Ukraine is one”
“Never get high on your own supply”
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
Trump going around like a crack head who is too greedy to put down the crack pipe time for him to go to rehabilitation and get some education. I could not help that lol just some lyrics for Saturday morning.
