FBI Serves Subpoena In Corruption Probe Of Leader Of Trump SCOTUS Election Ploy | Rachel Maddow
Someone needs a pardon.
Exactly!!!! But after january 20th, his pardon will be worth nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe served in a state doesn’t qualify for Federal pardon . A lot of Republicans need to go to jail .
Toh yes

oh wow
Goh yes

oh wow
He is looking at 99 years of indicted and convicted
@Rebecca Roseland why is he under investigation? For what exactly? I can’t find it on google
@Jason M thanks. Seems like hearsay and no facts. He said/she said. Guess we wait to see
@Michael Dougherty agreed but Paxton will have 100million in the bank for his loyalty. Not a bad trade off
The GOP as a whole should be indicted under RICO.
GITMO has recently been expanded. Now Trump has gained some weight, but not that much.

So that’s why he’s doing this, to get federal pardon for his up coming criminal charges… Another corrupt texas republican…
Today the forces of liberalism face a crisis. The people of the United States must make a choice between two ways of living — a decision which will affect us the rest of our lives and our children and our grandchildren after us.
On the other side, there is the Wall Street way of life and politics. Trust the leader! Let big business take care of prices and profits! Measure all things by money! That is the philosophy of the masters of the Republican Party.
Well, I have been studying the Republican Party for over 12 years at close hand in the Capital of the United States. And by this time, I have discovered where the Republicans stand on most of the major issues.
Since they won’t tell you themselves, I am going to tell you.
They approve of the American farmer — but they are willing to help him go broke.
They stand four-square for the American home — but not for housing.
They are strong for labor — but they are stronger for restricting labor’s rights.
They favor a minimum wage — the smaller the minimum the better.
They indorse educational opportunity for all — but they won’t spend money for teachers or for schools.
They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine — for people who can afford them.
They approve of Social Security benefits — so much so that they took them away from almost a million people.
They believe in international trade — so much so that they crippled our reciprocal trade program, and killed our International Wheat Agreement.
They favor the admission of displaced persons — but only within shameful racial and religious limitations.
They consider electric power a great blessing — but only when the private power companies get their rake-off.
They say TVA is wonderful — but we ought never to try it again.
They condemn “cruelly high prices” — but fight to the death every effort to bring them down.
They think the American standard of living is a fine thing — so long as it doesn’t spread to all the people.
And they admire the Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it.
Now, my friends, that is the Wall Street Republican way of life. But there is another way — there is another way — the Democratic way, the way of the Democratic Party.

President HARRY S TRUMAN
October 13, 1948
@TC TC yeah. I know all that it’s obvious. Conservatives Republicans they can say what they want but their math does not work. Democrats math works it’s historical fact.
In all honesty both are corrupt Republicans definitely more so and in a more damaging way to the country and the people in it.
Democrats are corrupt in a different way but they still make changes to better the country and the people living in it and for the people living in it the corruption they have is literally taking lobbyist money that is Republicans money the way the Democrats are corrupt does more for republicans and their flawed views than it does anybody else Republican should honestly be glad when Democrats are corrupt because it’s going towards their flawed political view but in the end it’s just playing politics giving a little and then pulling the walls of their eyes and getting more done in the correct direction and Republicans are pretty stupid for the most part since they don’t even know how to do math but if we could get 12 or more straight years a Democrat president Republicans would never get elected again
@Dave Blair do you think aoc is corrupt? Have any proof?
You don’t say😲 in Texas even? Really who would’ve ever thought 😉
Trump doesn’t listen to FBI or anyone. He think he is above the law.
@sushi sin goodsuagi, in the end so do we, but we won’t bow to BLM ANTIFA BS, we want peace too, but Trumps men stand, it’s time first to fight and get back our republic. Join us in DC, support God’s side, Christian side, or stay away and safe
@jonie keator don’t forget the Dems and Sorros fund ANTIFA, another tribe of morons burning out Cites, in the name of love and peace, the lord I will blind some, and open the eyes of my elect, that’s what we see here and now, good luck, God bless, stay save
At this point the FBI is complicit in this whether they want it or not. Politicians PERIOD. Think they’re above the law. What’s it gonna take to get the people on the left and right together to get this high school drama circus out of office? Cannot everyone agree on a fresh start, removing every politician from office and imposing term limits? It doesn’t take a genius to see why term limits are a necessity.
@Dale Val don’t create riots and war zone

Lol What LAW?

Apparently draining the swamp means filling it with trolls 🤷♂️
Its already filled with trolls called Republicans and democrats
@that one guy FK your false equivalence. #trumponetermloser
He DID drain the swamp. Unfortunately, it was pumped right into 1600 Pennsylvania Blvd. and his cabinet.
That would do 2 things.
1 get rid of 90% of youtubers.
2 move you to the swamp.
@Wassup 6700 😂😂😂
It’s a sad state of affairs when crooks are allowed to pardon fellow crooks.
Not sad, evil, too many American politicians are more like a criminal gang.
He is convicted a year earlier for same crime and did it again
But they are not garden-variety crooks. They are influential, hard-to-catch, hard-to-convict crooks.
@randall leboeuf greed my friend greed.
These “living in glass house” Republicans has no shame!!😂😂😂😂!!
@Toga Tours It’s a wonder their brains are so mushed!!😂😂😂😂
@Naomi Iton cowards are always afraid
@Toga Tours They only have muscle when they’re surrounded by idiots who are influencing them to do shid….😂
Republicans thinks that they are better than everybody else. That’s false!
@Rb Smith take off your rose colored glasses turdlican
Throw ALL these guys in jail and expose All their crimes if you want any sort of credibility in the world again!!
They have their own set of rules and another for.all the peasants.
Texas Ken Paxton needs to answer for his crimes. He has been a crook since taking office.
Trump attracts criminals when he offered pardons to those who can help him over turn the legitimate election. So desperate to steal our election. Loser=Trump!
The Republican party is now the most depraved and brazen criminal organization in the country.
@Fabled Creature “Joe Biden is as decent as they come.” Are you kidding me?! Perhaps you haven’t heard that China Joe has taken bribes from the CCP. And that he threatened to withhold aid from the Ukraine President if he didn’t fire an official who was investigating his son. The MSM buried the story about Joe Biden and his son so they could protect him before the election.
@David Goldman russian trump
@David Goldman fake news😁😁😁😁😁
I want my free health care. Trump wanted me to work for it. So glad you won’t get a tax refund
In the world!😠
Paxton is a “Johnny reb”A Confederate that is who theses people are!They are the party of the Confederacy and its leader is Trump!
Pardons are currently on sale on eBay. 40% off if you buy for your whole family and a free MyPillow.
One problem with that analysis: Trump is a Yankee though 🙄
@ciscadanielle so the Democratic party is climbing states rights once again. Lol
@ciscadanielle That does not matter. For whom trunal dump is known. Dump may just use that as some excuse to squirm him self out of some argument. The guy is a pos
Do you actually believe you’re BS??, as Liberals, call ANTIFA, BLM, BILDERBURG , love and peace summer of love, as they burned out Cites in Liberal Cites, God help you woman, you’ll need it
The federal government needs a internal affairs agency. I also think that the states need their own internal affairs agency.
The swamp seems fuller than four years ago.
Indeed.
Well, it may seem that way but 45 allows to happen out in the open so they can come out from the rock they were hiding their devious ways
The SWAMP is over crowded. And ALL Republicans should be VOTED out of office.
Never again should there be a Republican president.
Unless it’s Jesus
@Surtsey TT Pfft. Jesus wouldn’t be a Republican. Free healthcare, love your neighbor, chase the moneylenders out of the temple, give your spare shirt to the man with none, disrupt the establisment, spurn your family, blessed are the poor and whores Jesus? Republicans wouldn’t be able to denounce him fast enough.
All the confusion in America today is being caused by Republican “greedvances” led by defeated president trump.
Next week’s story: Texas AG tests positive for covid
I needed that laugh. So true!! Lol
Justice!
Remember when “House of Cards” was improbable fiction?
At this point after all states certify their results, anyone attempting to change anything should be charged with treason!
WHICH IS TO SAY, DELETE THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
@Old Doug if that happens no republican will ever win the presidency. Presidency will be decided by california and new york.
I bet my left lung that he and donald discussed a pardon.
The level of corruptions and the silence by GOP leaders are astoundingly worrisome.
They aren’t silent, they are full heartedly embracing, supporting and voicing their corruption.
The republicans thought for sure that the justices in the supreme court would bow to trump. I was worried that they would as well, but I guess they found a collective backbone after all.
“All I want for Christmas is a presidential pardon” Paxton
