  1. So, guys… can we stop using the vague and imprecise term, “quid pro quo” to describe the cheeto in a Wig and his dirty Ukrainian deal. Let’s just call it what it is, BRIBE and EXTORT as in “Treason, Bribery or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” #ExtortionistTrump

    1. Guy in the Sky trump and the GOP lie using it because they know all the lowly educated trumpturds have no clue what it means. Which is Latin for “THIS FOR THAT”

      The Rule of Law is all about Process.
      A good high school education is
      Important in knowing how to analyze
      and thinking things through.
      Sorry, the system failed you
      However,
      ignorance is no defense in law.
      In other words, please, don’t blame the System.
      Also,
      “Treason”
      is not applicable because Congress has not declared war.

  2. This is just sad. Trump strong armed and extorted the President of Ukraine into fabricating a bogus conspiracy, for the sole purpose of helping him get reelected. What Traitor Trump did to Ukraine is almost as bad as what he did to the Kurds. In both cases, people lost their lives because of Trump’s treachery.

    1. @Muddy Water The Trump administration has no business investigating corruption within another country. And the West demanded that the Ukraine remove a corrupt prosecutor who was NOT investigating corruption. The current prosecutor is investigating corruption and found none in Hunter Biden. Ignore facts fool.

    2. @soylentdean Barr is Trump’s attorney, not a real Attorney General. If Barr thinks that either Biden broke OUR laws, he would prosecute. And he’s not, because that would get him in legal trouble. The Ukraine prosecutor cleared the Biden’s. You got zero, dude.

    3. @David T Wrong. He wouldn’t have reclassified it as a criminal investigation if he had no intention of bringing charges. Dems are screwed.

    4. @soylentdean You right wingers and your conspiracies. Crowdstrike is for idiots. Our entire security apparatus and the bipartisan US Senate said that it was Russia not the Ukraine. Get a plane to Russia. You aren’t an American.

  3. Fareed- ” it was not my idea for him to be on my show”
    Translation: I’m not part of any collusion, I’m just the medium not the message

    1. @Redwood Madrone that’s what your mommy Hildabeast said in 2016 how’d that work out? your daddy putin did everything possible and she still lost

    2. Anthony D
      We don’t care what coffee you drink. If you disrespect our constitution, if you’re a traitor, then you need to leave. You’re anti American.

    3. @Redwood Madrone you’re going to have to find somebody better than creepy Joe Biden the child molester and Pocahontas who doesn’t know which end is up and good old Bernie the mooch who’s never worked a day in his life

    1. @HARRY CALLAHAN – Just ask Barrack Obama…him, Bill, Jimmy and Hillary seen him do it ! He had been hiring illegal aliens all the the time he was running the hotel business. so that’s what he did as P.resident too! Whaaat?
      You were maybe expecting Dudley-Do- Right of The Canadian Mouned Police to assume the Office of President ? ! ? !

  4. This isn’t complicated:

    1) Trump corruptly demanded something of personal value in exchange for official action.
    2) That’s the legal definition of bribery.
    3) The Constitution specifies bribery as grounds for impeachment.

    To say there’s no impeachable offense is just nonsense.

    1. @Leo Campos He’s a Trump zombie. Even if Trump came out and admitted it today and resigned, dopes like this guy would still be saying it was Trump pwning the Libs somehow. They’re lost. Cut them loose.

    2. @olobar5 a another Russian lackey still going on about the Biden conspiracy theory 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  5. Sometimes i feel that i am living in an alternate reality when all this is going on sm

    1. Spearhand – What about it? Seriously? He sided with Russia over the CIA, lied about meaning to say the opposite, and is now back to asserting that the Russians didn’t screw with our elections so he can lift sanctions on them.

    2. I could never forget how f**king small trump was in front of putin at Helsinki… Trumpers need to look at that video.. Where’s mr big and bad fire and destruction the world has never seen before ????? Putin could have leaned over and said “donald ill be taking ivonka back to russia with me” and trump would have went with it… Geroge Bush was killed for saying he looked into putins soul… Helsinki was impeachable in it self..

  6. Get the dirtiest cells ready. Dirtiest toilets and least amount of toilet paper. Bout to fill them up…

    1. Here is the problem.  What happens if they put President Lard Bottom and Jared Milquetoast in the same prison cell?  Who gets IVANKA first on conjugal visit days?

    2. What you wanna bet Amazon is getting lots of orders for soap on a rope from the White House? You me and anyone with minimal insight feel grimy.

  7. The President of Ukraine, feeling like his back was against the wall, was going to bend to Trump’s demands even though it was against his will to involve Ukraine in U.S. domestic politics.

    This, alone, is enough for Trump’s impeachment and conviction.

    1. @W C Uh, why should Biden be looked into if he DID NOT solicit intel against his opponent from foreign powers… and its not illegal for Hunter Biden to make money in foreign companies… Lol, you do realize Trump’s children are making money in foreign companies right? Its not illegal. Serious question, are you a bit dumb or something?
      The Ukraine prosecutor WAS NOT investigating Burisma at the time *get your facts straight* Your just spouting some stupid crap you found on some alt-right website.

      And dodged the question of why its ok for Trump to commit Bribary which is specifically mentioned as an impeachable offense in the US Constitution.

    2. So you think Hillary should be in jail. For soliciting help from a foreign government to influence an election. I agree.

      Then you should also agree Trump asking them to investigate a crime is ok. As Hillary’s campaign did what you said was a crime. He should be able to investigate that.

      Agents of Ukraine provided the Obama administration with fake intel against a political rival. You said that was a crime.

      Biden told a foreign government what to do. He told them to fire prosecutors investigating his family. Or he’d withhold money from them. You said that was a crime.

      It seems you believe that Biden and the Clinton campaign commited crimes. But you are willing to overlook those crimes. Because you’re biased.

    3. @Lavern Revels oboma did have the most you are adding what oboma created to trumps administration bringing it to 22 trillion people are not stupid when liberals like you speak we can see through your nipulation, and it don’t work trump 20 20 keep America great .

    4. @Lavern Revels New York Times: “In the days following the phone call, I learned from multiple U.S. officials that senior White House officials had intervened to “lock down” all records of the phone call, especially the official word-for-word transcript of the call that was produced—as is customary—by the White House Situation Room.”

    1. @Trump’s a pathological liar Prove me wrong I agree with what you say, but the minute I saw your Handle you got a Thumbs-Up from me.

    2. @Martin Camp Thanx my brotha, they try to shift the argument to CNN when we have actual testimony and proof of this corrupt administration. My profile name was not this divisive before but after giving trump chances and chances to just stop lying, he doubled down.

    3. @Trump’s a pathological liar Prove me wrong – If he operated as an unscrupulous businessman….
      then why would Trump be any different as an unscrupulous P.
      resident. Other than wishful thinking, how in the hell is a Magahat gonna change that, even if Putin , Xi, Kim and the Mullah wear one ? If your team goes out and murders the families of your KURD neighbors, Why would you want to Flaunt any affiliation with them around the neighborhood un- less you want to be mistakenly identified as
      one of the perpetrators ? You’d have to be blind, dumb, deaf and crazy as a Trumpy ( Bed ) Bug. !
      How Embarrassing Some People Are
      …To Be Seen With !

    1. Previous month I was able to pull my first five figure income ever!!! I’ve been working for this provider using the internet for two years now and I never been happier… They are paying me $95 per hour, and the best thing regarding this is that I am not really that tech-savvy, they just asked for basic insight into internet and basic typing skill…Great thing about it is the more free time I got for my loved ones. I am in a position to commit quality time with my friends and family and look after my children and also going on family vacation along with them very consistently. Don’t avoid this chance and make sure to react fast. Here is what I do *acttoday48­.­c­o­m*

  8. For someone who claims to hate CNN so much, he was trying to use them. Why didn’t they make the announcement on Faux News?

    1. Because it would have been questionable on Fox News? No credibility there but despite trump CNN has credibility.

    1. @dark lord Name one lie. Go ahead I’ll wait. Name one lie that Fareed has told for CNN, cite your sources, be specific, triangulate you information, correlate your data, and provide a warrent for you statement. If Fareed lies than you should prove it instead of saying stale talking points.

  9. This guy, Zacairia’s talents would best be used as a prosecutor for both of the Manhattan SWAMP LORD Conspirators, Trump and Guilliani.

    1. @kingtut777 Maybe he doesn’t have any political accomplishments, more like destroying, abusing his power, and always lying, now suddenly everyone is a liar except him, who’s going to believe a liar, oops I take that back, Fox news believes liars as they have them on their opinions news shows, meanwhile real news reporters report facts, if one doesn’t like it, why even come here to troll, as most of us have confidence in Patriots, truth tellers and real facts to save this country from becoming a corrupt narcisstic dictatorship, peace.

    2. @hardy2175 When you ask trumptards which accomplishments their president has achieved, they immediately begin with their “lowest unemployment” bullshit. They completely ignore the fact that Donny hasn’t done ANYTHING to lower the unemployment rate, but rather he only coasted on Obama’s great economic trend in the recent years of his administration, and took the credit for himself. Every president could have done it.

  10. If the orange agent in the oval office had his way the Ukraine would be ethnically cleansed. The rebirth of the Soviet Union would be an ominous possibility. I’m just saying.
