First Trump Endorsements In Congress Indicted, Plead Guilty | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Is there anyone close to trump who is not in legal trouble or at least under scrutiny? 🤔
mrswimmyboy That still remains to be seen.
Nevyn of OZ 1973 How do you know that?
james mack Sure, her name is Ivanka.
Chuck Kady You’re a turd
Fellow ‘witch hunt’ criminals endorse our low-life extortionist in the White House now indicted, awaiting sentencing…what a surprise.
Now the swamp is now an open sewer.
@Stacey Nichols they have been investigated like crazy. Guess what nothing was found. Can’t say the same about trump and his minions.
plz watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjaCJe0OOjo
He made the statement that he “caught the swamp, he caught them all, and nobody but he could have done it!!” It helps when you hire them!! Lol
The Evangelist Christians have been fighting the DEVIL for 2000 years, only to make the DEVIL president when it suits the evangelist.
@Rice Burnerbiker ,
I agree CHURCHES should be taxed and audited. There’s so much CORRUPTION and abuse caused by churches. Sure, they do a lot of good things too but why do my taxes need to go towards what those churches decide is the best use for that money? AUDITING properly should mean more money would get to the people who need it anyway.
@Colin Moore so Trump futs right in with them…..worship the Almighty Dollar!!!
Catholic here.. F..k Trump
Lili Bee there is a book that explains this happening. The new Messiah which is trump destroys the world. Look at how much she is destroyed everything already. He’s created heat and so many people and the people who already had hate in their heart he has giving them a platform.
Trump is basically a mob boss with secret service protection.
@TJ Roelsma Rubio ,Kasich, Bush. Not that I especially like any of them. The excuse was Republicans had to choose between Trump and Clinton. Its not an honest way of looking at their choices.
@mrswimmyboy The Republicans hade their choice taken away from them once the GOP decided to support Trump: they were NEVER going to vote for Clinton or any other Democrat.
The only one’s who had the choice between Trump and Clinton were the undecided voters.
@Idylchatter That’s nothing for a republican!
William Robert may be a bot.
That’s the scariest thing.
Guess if the swamp wasn’t drained you can vote for one of the alligators.
LOL🤣😂😅!
Wish I’d said that!
ok , i laughed. that was funny.
plz watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjaCJe0OOjo
There’s lot’s of Gators Miles Frank: Here it is explained for all of us from the John Birch Society It’s enlightening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSonDpS560o&feature=em-uploademail
@Cat Williams Exactly, what did alligators do to this guy? It’s like using dogs for comparison; what did dogs do to you? Offensive to dogs, I think PETA should bet involved.
i can’t wait for whatever is hiding yet about this situation to come into the light. i have my suspicions… ty for making the connection dr maddow.
@Justin Fontanez don’t forget devin nunes suing a fake cow
@Hildebeast Clinton he hasn’t been at cia since 1990.
@C Thomas That’s why key players have done a complete 360 on their view of Trump, Lindsey Graham is the perfect example. Someone got to him. He’s aged so much the last three years. In the beginning he earned America the would regret voting for Trump. Now he’s become a sychophant and it’s sad to watch. Jordon, Nunes and Collins. Two that were staunch supporters going to jail for campaign violations. What’s worse is Trump will pardon them because he did the same thing. Stay strong, we’ll get through this together.
@Chuck Kady I hate to bust in on your love affair with misinformation but my empathy won’t allow me to stand by when it comes to media. Trump launched a misinformation campaign pertaining to the Bidens with the help of a reporter Guouliani and Nunes. Facts and proof. I get it, you need a leader and you’ve fallen for a career crook that’s been screwing over “the man” his whole career, he brought that mentality to the Whitehouse. Surely you’ve looked at the values of the leader you would bury your head in the sand for. Make sure your taxes are done honestly this year and that you aren’t cheating on your partner or hurting children or deporting those that served in the military and deserve to be here. Why would you honestly need this kind of leader in your life? Do your own research, the media is paid for and caters to spin to the highest bidder. Wake up!
What does it say that republican voters can still vote for these crooks. The whole party is corrupt to the core. They are completely immoral. So many felons.
@rayism 24b Anthony Bourdaine was murdered by Hillary?…keep vaping…
Ditto democrats
What does it say for Republican voters who still vote for the crooks? Nothing good, obviously.
Way do we expect from Republicans. ?? All Republicans say Trump is a good role model because. He is a professor. For making up.false. acuisation. So they call that a good role model so you see the devil as consume the party. Its now a cult thing. Devil worshipers. They shall be consume in fire and brimstone. They have all. Sold there soul to Satan. The red hat. Are the symbol of Lucifer
@Creed your. Crazy. I have seen quite a few president. A d none of those came. Close to this one. So I do Not know wat you are reffering. To
Further proof that being a felon is no barrier to entering the White House
It’s a requisite for donnie, birds of a feather etc.
@Ron Sandlin Hahahaha… Your just upset because Harris dropped outs the race. Who’s next. Get ready for another 4 years of Trump. Don’t believe everything you hear. Research man… Research.
Actually that’s a requirement
Trump: “Lock her up!”
Also Trump: “I pardon you, criminal.”
During the 2007 Congressional investigation of the dismissal of eight U.S. attorneys, it was discovered that administration officials had been using a private Internet domain, called gwb43.com, owned by and hosted on an email server run by the Republican National Committee,[1] for various official communications. The domain name is an abbreviation for “George W. Bush, 43rd” President of the United States. The use of this email domain became public when it was discovered that J. Scott Jennings, the White House’s deputy director of political affairs, was using a gwb43.com email address to discuss the firing of the U.S. attorney for Arkansas.[2] Communications by federal employees were also found on georgewbush.com (registered to “Bush-Cheney ’04, Inc.”[3]) and rnchq.org (registered to “Republican National Committee”[4]). Congressional requests for administration documents while investigating the dismissals of the U.S. attorneys required the Bush administration to reveal that not all internal White House emails were available. Conducting governmental business in this manner is a possible violation of the Presidential Records Act of 1978.[5] Over 5 million emails may have been lost.[6][7] Greg Palast claims to have come up with 500 of the Karl Rove emails, leading to damaging allegations.[8] In 2009, it was announced that as many as 22 million emails may have been lost.[citation needed]
@Mats K lol he doesn’t pardon people who helped him he hits them with a bus.
@Crew TheAftermath Then reverses over them, just to make sure…
It’s a beautiful thing!!!
TRUMP 2020
D.TRUMP JR.2024
GO TRUMPS!
*Beware of those who profess devotion to God. Their feigned piety is often the camouflage for their vileness and evil.*
@Argus Tuft The next thing they’ll do is try to recruit you into their multi level marketing scam.
@Walt F.
I have read it for years. I have also done checks against the Greek and hebrew. The king James is awefull.
But the truth is by Adam death ( spiritual) reigned.
But by Jesus came life. So you can call him the second adam. The one who proved the very nature of the one who created all things. And by that very fact it gives hope to whoever chooses to believe. Look at the craziness in this world right now. No, this isn’t anything new because if you noticed when you read that bible 3 times, that there are cycles where things are good and then when things are bad. But notice evil gets wiped out even if they call themselves believers ( Jerusalem 70ad).
We are at the end of another age.
There are books in the bible that do not belong there. The books that are important are the books of the prophecy of jesus. Spoken of in the book of genesis and through the prophets. The new testament are the books who testify of that promised one.
I am not going to argue with you. Go and study and check out other translations. And remember this, it is the good news because when you really get this stuff you will understand that our creator is not what most preach. Far above that not holding anything against us.
This world is in a fallen state. Remember that when you think there can’t be a loving God. Man is cause and affect.
The whole earth travails for the adult sons of God.
They are here though.
@Melissa H the internet is listening to us!
Keep it real sister.
But, not all, hopefully…
Certainly the Evangelicals, and others, have finally shown their true colors. Hypocrisy of the highest order.
Do any such souls truly believe they will qualify by their own standards at those “pearly gates”?
What ever happened to “Go and sin no more”? Or.. “Treat others as you would treat me”.
Such hubris. They mock their own savior.
Wait till it finally dawns on them that *One reaps what one sows* … those poor tragic fools.
The GOP are incredibly corrupt.
The USA is incredibly corrupt, the GOP are Americans, the 63 million who voted for Trump are Americans, the political system in which the person with the least votes wins is all American.
But still, I see Americans try to blame Russia. It’s funny as a play.
Jim Battersbee 63 million? Ok. You are not even on planet earth anymore. Hillary 63.5 million. ACDJT 60. Get it right. I know it doesn’t fit your narrative
@thinksmart5 Math is yet another insurmountable problem for Republicans and their brain dead voters. And the truth. And facts. And science. And history. And International relations. You know what, I have to go now, sorry to cut myself midstream LOL
Riggins the Stock market..?? Geez,
Who can believe trump, and the Republicans when they brag about the Stock Market..?
Only the Republicans, and for that, it should plummet.
No wonder, they’re as corrupt and rotten as Trump. Like attracts like.
Trump is a super Crook
Yes, my analogy is flys on 💩 and Trump is the 💩
The corruption of the GOP members is staggering….
That’s why I wondered how could you run for public office when you are a co-conspirator in an indictment?? Trump is a Co-conspirator in an indictment, and he won’t show his taxes. Are they going to let him get away with that this time around? It’s not right all other candidates are showing their information and Trump is not…it wasn’t fair to Hillary Clinton either when he run in 2016.
plz watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjaCJe0OOjo
The beautiful part of an impeachment by Congress is that he can be send to court after his term AND he cannot be pardoned. The impeachment is the great exception from the Presidential pardon powers. And to the corruption of the GOP, I would add that according to polls, only 29%of Americans consider themselves Republicans , which leaves 70% free to think for themselves when it comes to Trump and the GOP.
@Wonder Wonderful that’s maddows point toward the end of the block: that R voters clearly are not just okay but _favor_ candidates that are under indictment. that it’s what R voters are “looking for” in a candidate.
(her riff: so maybe the way to win over voters with “those values” is to mock up a fake mug shot and wear a fake ankle bracelet and run on “Deep State is out to get me!” … and she isn’t wrong.)
Criminal groups posing as goverment officials.
The REPUBLICAN PARTY IS a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE!
Racketeering is what they call it when it’s not within government
@John Huffman
POLICY is what the CLOWN PRINCESS calls crime in his “administration”.
Trump’s desperate plea to Republicans: “Us crooks and traitors have to stick together!”
And those Fools do..
That goes to show how amoral republicans are.
Well, they predate upon the uninformed and routinely misrepresent the actual process or workings.
The word is immoral I would say.
Amoral is when you dont know or care what you’re doing is wrong.
Probably both are accurate actually.
Your right No skills : Here’s why your right. Here it is explained for all of us from the John Birch Society It’s enlightening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSonDpS560o&feature=em-uploademail
More likely people who vote for crooked Republicans are voting for a brand (Republican) and don’t read much.
@Legal Man
Exactly, I thought in America those two word must be interchangable as I see it misused so often.
To think that millions of people willingly fight so hard against their own interests just to “Own the libs”.
Those who admire the refucklikkkans are mentally ill, emotionally unstable and just plain stupid. I wonder how it feels to have no integrity and no conscience.
Better to be dead than “Socialist”!!!!!! like the USA doesn’t have any “Socialist” Programs!!
Still can’t believe women supported an adulterer who bragged about sexual assault.
The GOP has devolved into a well-funded amoral, unethical, criminal enterprise.
What a narrow line of sight……. and PERCEPTION.
Some of the worlds biggest thugs wear a suit and tie everyday.
