Garrett Haake: Democrats To Use Hill As Proxy For Bolton | MSNBC
As a Marine veteran, it warms my heart to know that there are still some true American patriots out there who are still willing to resist, still willing to stand-up and speak truth to power. Patriots who still believe in putting country first. Patriots who still believe in serving a cause greater than themselves. Patriots like Dr. Fiona Hill, Ambassador Bill Taylor, Ambassador Yovanovitch, Lt.Col. Vindman, David Holmes, Jennifer Williams, and others. To all of these patriots, and others out there like them, I salute you.
@Thirsty D laughable
Also as a Marine corps war veteran, this is no time to get let up. Not the time to give up now’s the Time to dig in.
@mike briganti https://youtu.be/dcwVuX4XoLI
You can laugh all you want, but that doesn’t change the fact that Trump has broad support in the US military.
Fiona Hill was a killer. SHe killed every single GOP defense. She stated she and her team were working on International policy and she stated that Sondland was working on a domestic directive.
@Daisy Elmir Am so excited!!! Happy days are coming back! 😁😁😁🌼🌼🌼
Kevin Mcneil you obviously didn’t watch. Her brain cells would bury you.
KB, when I first heard her, I said, she’s too intelligent for those GOPs
She was brutal; I loved it every time she implicated nunes in promulgating russian disinformation.
Fiona Hill is very impressive!
@Crystal Giddens Can you give us a link to where that quote came from?
@Tracey K open source info. the link is your search bar.
Crystal Giddens and the incoherent delusions continue on and on and on and on and on. You must enjoy proving your level of stupid
I agree we Todd above
@Tracey K July 25. Trump phones Zelensky. He calls Yovanovich, “bad news…who will go through some bad things.”
Zelensky responds to Trump: “It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous president and she was on his side.”
Yoanovich later tells the impeachment inquiry: “It was a terrible moment, a person who saw me actually reading the transcript said the color drained from my face….
I can’t believe it. I mean, shocked, appalled, devastated that the president of the United States would talk about any ambassador like that to a foreign head of state….”
In short, Trump threatened Zelensky. No military aid unless Yovanovitch was out of the picture. Zelensky had two choices – either throw Yovanovitch under the bus and get the military aid… or tell Trump to go f*** himself, and lose his country to Russia.
Fiona Hill! What a class act! Devastating to the GOP and the Tangerine Toilet Toad!
@Ed Dursky If the Rethugliklans got that much money so quickly it just shows you the Russians are might be getting a little nervous. They’re going to be doing that kind of false news right up until election day. The Russians have had their fun, are we going to let them get away with it again?
@V Isn’t Louisiana where tRumputin BEGGED for votes from Republicans? Looks like people are catching on. There’s a newly elected Democratic Governor.
@Richard Butt Well Mr. Butt…better start tuning up for another ‘Screaming At The Sky’ symphony.
@Kathleen Mitchell I have a serious question: Is TDS just a naturally occurring ailment or is most of it drug induced? (I kinda already know the answer. Haven’t met a leftist yet that didn’t suffer from at least one painfully obvious mental condition. Add drugs and alcohol to the mix and the results are simply compounded.)
Tangerine nightmare
If the 911 caller can’t be identified, the building that is on fire should be left to burn? Republican logic?
It would be interesting to find out about the “other” calls that Dr. Hill has been on. I can’t imagine Trump being focused on much of anything that is primarily in the best interest of the US, but that doesn’t directly benefit Trump himself.
The 911 caller cannot be identified and we know nothing about him… but we somehow know he’s an arsonist and biased against fire fighters.
@Gravity Wave Surfer
The 911 callers identity is not of much value anymore since there is proof of the fire and the true arsonist only wants the challers name to intimidate, threaten and belittle them.
To which we say. Kiss off Trump.
Good analogy
Fiona Hill not afraid to testify and served up some strong tea today. Too bad Bolton doesn’t have the ⚽️ ⚽️ to do the same. 🤔😆
@Okkie Trooy Definitely both. Selling more books over his sworn duty to preserve the Constitution. What a true patriot! 👎
@Daisy Elmir
Hi Daisy! 🌼🌼
Hilary sat for 11 hours in public testimony for a Committee lead by Pompeo. And now he’s too chicken 💩 to do the same. Weak sauce right there!
@Ro G I guess it is the difference between guilty and not-guilty.
But I do like the strong performance of the women. Women have come a long way in a relatively short time.
Democrats are so WEAK! They have the authority to ARREST these cowards defying subpoenas! Plus wtf about EMOLUMENTS & LYING UNDER OATH?
America watch replublican in full disgrace to their country
@Ed DurskyIf TRUE Americans follow those small donors, it will lead back to RUSSIAN oligarchs.
@dan112020 I have a serious question: Is TDS just a naturally occurring ailment or is most of it drug induced? (I kinda already know the answer. Haven’t met a leftist yet that didn’t suffer from at least one painfully obvious mental condition. Add drugs and alcohol to the mix and the results are simply compounded.)
@Ed DurskyYou RUSSIANS are so WEAK MINDED and PATHETIC, you cannot conquer the world like this, with EVIL. Check yourself about TDS. America is a FREE country, America will NEVER have a DICTATOR like PUTIN has CONQUERED RUSSIA.
Fiona Hill explains things so eloquently and so easy to understand, she was very compelling
Trump NEVER held the Ukrainians hostage to a billion dollar package – Nope, that was BIDEN. Trump NEVER demanded the prosecutor be fired and give them 6 hours to do it in- nope, that was BIDEN. Trump did not run his mouth like a bar room drunk, bragging about all this – Nope, once again, this was BIDEN. What BIDEN did was a text book example of quid pro quo, or bribery, or extortion what ever you want to call it. Nope, my friends, Trump did none of this and there is no evidence other than hearsay, and opinion. Yes, of course the house will impeach Trump, but that will not remove him. Even if he ever were removed, the people would vote him back in. Unless someone comes up with concrete evidence, there will be a civil war, people are already mobilizing. This has been a sham and is setting precedence , so watch out everyone, you will be able to be put away based on hearsay and opinion, and so will the next president.
@Crystal Giddens Ah, really I see you in all of these videos, saying exactly the same. Like I said in another comment, do you expect someone who is being threatened with extortion to say so? In his case knowing if he does he might not get the aid he needs to defend his country against Russian aggression? Even with the sale of the Javelins. even after getting the money, he is probably still afraid the same thing is going to happen next year.
@Septembers Whisper When one speaks about a subject, one should read on the subject.
Read on why Biden asked the last Ukranian President why the prosecutor needed to go. All of Europe was demanding the same, why? Because the man was a tool of the government to go against those he saw as enemies. Kind of the way the trump wants Barr to act, to go against those who he sees as enemies. Either you already know this and just are propagating propaganda, or you only watch, listen and read the real fake news, those tv stations, blogs, etc which feed into the paranoia of the conservative mind.
Septembers Whisper look low Iq Whispy is back. Where you been trolling clown? Did Puty reassign you elsewhere. So obvious
@undomiel152003 Thank you for the incredible insight into the mind of a TDS sufferer. Whatever the allegation, President Trump is and must be guilty. A TDS sufferer will ALWAYS start with that assumption and NEVER let go of that assumption. TDS has no cure.
Devin Nunes and his GOP ‘Comrades’ is living proof that you don’t need a back bone to make it to our US Congress.
@H. A. L. If “elitist” means looking down my nose at leftist fools…you’re 100% spot-on.
@Ed Dursky Looking down your nose? So people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Oprah Winfrey are below you? I don’t think so.
@Ed Dursky You are being antagonistic just to sew dissent. Pretty low-brow stuff right here. And people wonder why I don’t advertise that I’m a veteran…
Rudy has gone to ground. He’s hiding under his bed.
gobigorange in his cousins bed
He’s under his sisters bed.😂
Standing up.
Hiding out in drag. Would she be trump’s first choice?
@Frank…u had me laughing out loud hahahhaa
Fiona Hill was totally bi partisan in her testimony and now Republicans’ argument has nothing to stand on. Either way though, I doubt Trump will be removed. Only voted out.
The bus will roll over Rudy like an empty soda can…he wouldn’t even be a speed bump at this point.
Wow …😂….. well said.
By the way, where is old Rudie G? He must be hideing.
The only obstacle Rudy forms for the bus, are the two Ukrainian associates he caries on his back.
So it’s like driving over 3 soda cans.
I want Rudy to go down but the real prize is that PoS in office, Trump. He needs to go down, HARD! I don’t see him lasting to long in prison tbh
Fiona Hill! What a strong ethical woman!
I’d like some looking into Nunes, and his relationship with Giuliani’s Partners in Ukraine.
I think he has some explaining to do.
Don’t forget Senator Johnson. His name has been plastered all over this thing. He has also been hitting the media in a frenzy. His involvement is going to prove to be much deeper as investigation continue. And I am not just referring to the impeachment investigation either. He is in this up to his thinning hair, we just don’t know how yet.
Giuliani and Firtash as well ???
Fiona Hill shows high intelligence and good credibilty and was easy to understand clearly
Hey Americans – send a message to future witnesses – boycott Bolton’s book. He puts his money before his patriotic duty – he has nothing to say in a book that I want to read. Send the same message to publishers.
Couldn’t agree more!!
Seems Bolton is still a Republican in the sense that he puts himself before the country.
Anything he thinks is interesting for the american people to know, either incriminating or exculpating, is much better said now, than in an upcoming book.
Lawmakers, please make a law that makes it illegal to publish a book containing facts that you were unwilling to report to congress, even under subpoena.
Nunes should be admonished and held in contempt for trying to discredit these proceedings.
He is really disgrace!
I say we vote out all of these republicans!
Let’s do it!!!!!
We’ve GOT to get rid of Trump before he destroys our Country😔
These Republicans in congress are shameless. SMH
