Joyce Vance tells Lawrence O’Donnell that as Trump continues to deny Russian interference in U.S. elections, he is weakening the Intelligence Community and weakening the DOJ to find a narrative that is more favorable to him. Lawrence also discusses with Rick Stengel and Mieke Eoyang. Aired on 02/21/20.

Fmr. Prosecutor: Trump ‘Trying To Destroy' National Security Institutions | The Last Word | MSNBC
Trump is a clown
yeah the clown from “IT”
I’d rather have IT 100%
according to his name pennywise would make probably a better economist than trump. plus he is way less scary.
Traitor Trump has essentially declared war on America, the Constitution, and American patriots. You are either with him, or you’re with America.
Yet trump told the united nations no to globalism…..
How dumb can you be
A n world oder is on the rise and trump had put a hold on it
He stopped other country’s from ripping us off morons..how many of you work for poor people?most of you liberals don’t work and want a free ride.. losers
Trump is a discrase to the human race
You’re either a Republican, or an American Patriot it’s as simple as that!
yeah, thats America is at an all time high on every economic factor across the board huh? Ever consider counseling for those mental issues? The last thing we need is another mass shooter on the loose.
Make no mistake, Putin is America’s sworn enemy, and not because we want him to be, he’s America’s sworn enemy because that’s what he has chosen to be. Trump is a Russian asset, and not because that’s what we want him to be, he’s a Russian asset simply because that’s what he has chosen to be. It is imperative that we treat them both accordingly with the choices that they have made.
Semper Fi..
pure fantasy. you dont know anything about America. its something you heard about once on TV.
Ive never heard the term “sworn enemy” outside of a comic book. its frightening that you are allowed to vote.
Ever consider getting counseling for those mental issues? Whats next for you? Mass shooting or just attacks on people in MAGA hats?
@Omar M all said with no examples, no references whatsoever. Horrific grammar indicative of a troll-factory worker bashing away on a computer keypad somewhere in Moscow. Empty head, or russian bot?
And the republicans are complicit.
@Uncle Buck the dossier was NOT how the investigation started. George what’s his name getting drunk and telling an Australian head of state that he had Russian ties is how it started. The dossier came later. Stop telling that lie today please.
@Uncle Buck <<--- known russian troll. #fyi
@Duane Hall absolutely!
@cajuncoco actually the George Popadopoulos incident happened May 2016. In April 2016 Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump. The Washington Free Beacon hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump in 2015, but quit funding the investigation. Hillary Clinton and the DNC continued.
It is unfair that Hillary Clinton, her campaign, and the DNC did the same thing that George Popadopoulos allegedly did, seek dirt on political rivals from foreign entities. The person on the right was arrested, the multiple people on the left got off with zero punishment whatsoever. Obama allowed the DNC to pay a foreign entity to get dirt on a political rival, used that information and the Popadopoulos story to illegally spy on an American citizen and rival candidate.
@cajuncoco can you provide ANY proof of Russian Collusion with the Trump campaign ? I can’t find any solid evidence.
When will people fully understand that Trump is just Putin’s tool.
So Trump gives Ukraine missiles to use against Russians. Trump kills the General of Iran, whom is one of Russia’s closest allies….And Putin wants Trump to win?
If you didn’t suffer so badly from TDS you would be able to use logic and reason once again.
Who knows @Brenda, when they get tired of sucking Putin’s tool?
Not hardly. Trump sold missiles to Ukraine to thwart Soviet aggression which Obama failed to do.
The USA is NOW and net export of energy which cuts into Putin’s profits.
Ask Obama and Hillary about selling 10% of our uranium to Russia. Ask Hillary about the $150 mill
the Clinton Foundation rec’d for her efforts. Uh oh.
The American people need to march against Trump! Somebody needs to do something. We need a leader to organize this march. If we have a leader, we will all come! Trump is way out of control! Paging a leader! HELP!
Let me pose a question. Russia drops bombs on American cities killing thousands of Americans. Does Donald Trump admit it was Russia and respond with an attack or does Donald Trump say we don’t know who it was. Could have been anyone doing nothing to hold Russia accountable? I believe we all know including your Trump Cult followers the answer to that question. Trump has to be removed from office by force.
Putin doesn’t need bombs to destroy America.
He’s doing a fine job of it without any military hardware at all.
Did you eat paint chips when you were a kid?
Whoever wins the nomination VOTE for them and see this pantomime end
James Dyer
I’m voting against Evil Trump.
Nope. Trump sucks and is destroyng the country but going to the extreme opposite will finish the job. The vast majority of Americans don’t live in either of their worlds. America needs to recover from Donnie Two Diapers first.
Trump has spent the last four years destroying America in favor of giving Russia room on the world stage. All due to all the russian money he has borrowed from them over the decades.
Trump is a country-sized *tapeworm* in America.
Trump and Putin have been international money laundering buds for many years. Still are. Putin’s directing Trump in how to sabotage America for a takeover.
And yet he is still 10000% better than Hussein Obama
Trump is a TRAITOR to the United States of America, case closed!
He should be executed for treason
Trump is trying to stay President with the help of the Russian like the first time which he got away with not surprised that he will do anything
Name the act of treason and be specific. You can’t can you? I didn’t think so.
HIS TREASON IN PLAIN SIGHT…….why he is not under surveillance…..we have the technology!
Trump is assembling his private gestapo to shield and protect him so trump can go full throttle criminal dictator to steal the election and use these appointed people as his private government gestapo. Grendel will be his Barr of our intell agencies to make sure anything trump is covered up or deleted. No evidence no crime, he’ll be stopping and shutting down all and any intell investigations as well as use these agencies to go after trump’s critics.
Trump is assembling his gestapo.
This is to secure he stays in the White House. Look for Mitch and the GOP vote on a bill to do away with presidential term limits as soon as they can secure trump’s win
Which explains Mitch’s /trump refusal to pass any anti foreign (Russian) interference bills. They want to firmly solidify their one party autocratic authoritarian klepto-plutocracy and make trump America’s Saddam.
Saddam-trump is preparing to stay in office regardless of any election outcome. He’s building his dictatorship
JVS-3 SCHIFF ! IS THAT YOU SCHIFF ? C’MON SCHIFF , THAT’S YOU , COME ON BOYFRIEND , THAT’S YOU .
Thomas Fletcher Better get educated. Gaslighting has damaged your brain. I’m dead serious too. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/568f2ee8cbced686e2f4683a/t/57748c9f3e00be33b76bb4ba/1467255993131/Surviving+The+Narcissist+Epidemic.pdf
you are brain dead.
#TREASON2016TRUMPutinINC IT’S NOT “UNCLEAR AS TO WHY THEY’RE DOING IT.”
Putin backed Trump 2 billion in loans. Trump is underwater in many of those loans. Trump is hollowing out the intelligence agencies for Putin.
Mr. Bugbee, and Kevin, Trump warned the Russians prior to impending missile strike in Syria, in order for them to move equipment and personnel, after During Comey, he met with the Russian Ambassador and in the meeting revealed Israeli intelligence. He refused to authorize countermeasures to Russian hacking after Congress had allocated $120 million. In his first meeting with Putin he took the entrepreneur’s notes, and in three other meetings there were no American interpreters involved. He ceded Syria to the Russians and abandoned our allies, the Kurds forcing them to ally with Russia. His withholding of aid from Ukraine during their negotiations with Russia gave Russia an advantage. The Congress only enforced sanctions by a veto proof of majority. So don’t play the Russian adversary routine. Regarding the information about Deutsche Bank, all of this was reported by MSNBC approximately two years ago.
@John DiGiacomo whats your point?
@John DiGiacomo The decent and civil thing to do would have been to accept the findings of the Mueller investigation. Instead you declared that you and you alone get to decide reality. Facts dont matter anymore. All that matters is your hate and whatever levels of power you can pull to manipulate and deceive the public. We see you now.
Vote Trump and his corrupt toadies out, resurrect the rule of law, and enforce it.
Too late to vote Trump out. He won’t leave even if he looses 99 to 1.
When will or can blatant neglect of national security be called out for what it is: Treason?
And when will the US act upon this threat? You guys act like a deer in headlights!
You watch the Deems out there trying hard to gain votes by walking and talking to people….because people vote.
Behind the scenes we have Satan, Putin and Trump selling their souls to do whatever it takes to make sure the weakest man stays in office so that we can continue to be weak so that Putin has an easier time to take over.
And then what? Trumps fame orange tan will be running down his face asking what did I do?? I just thought I was getting a new hotel in russia?
Wake up all of you Nancy Collins and Moscow Mitch….he is not learning his lesson he is setting the stage for this to become Putin territory!
Seriously? Do you not see what he is doing?
Man, DON’T DRINK THE KOOL-AID!! Don’t sit down and eat with him and wear a mask to work…he is probably piping in ruffies to take over your mind!!
Next he is going to want to wear a crown! What the heck are you all doing?? Get him out of there!!
Let’s not forget the Intel reports, which seem to have been buried, that outlined how Russia is laundering money thru the NRA. That money goes in support of Republicans by and large. Republicans like Moscow Mitch and Leningrad Lindsey Graham take their marching orders from the NRA. Connect the dots. There are really only three dots to connect here.
With every action Ttump just proves he’s working for Putin.
Exactly this. Literally every step he takes is in Russia’s interest. Want an interesting read? Just google: trump + russia + help …then take your pick of dozens of independent articles on the topic.
The impeachment trial has exposed the depth of corruption in the Trump Administration and the GOP Government and crimes against American taxpayers and the US Constitutions. A mob boss and his GOP gang have taken over the US Government and the United States of America.
Russia running things for 2020 USA November election and MAGA hat wearers are oblivious. And they call themselves patriots. Hilarious.
Patriots or parrots
The tea bag has holes in it.
We don’t know what has caused you guys to become so dumb and ignorant. You guys can continue and end up on the streets fighting over water or stop do the research and know what’s right.
