President Trump and Attorney General Bill Bar are working together to lower Trump’s convicted aide Roger Stone’s prison sentence. As President Trump congratulates Barr for “taking charge,” Trump’s DOJ faces scrutiny from former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance who accuse Barr of using the Department as a political weapon. The scandal has forced prosecutors to resign, causing former federal prosecutors to warn of another “Tuesday Night Massacre;” former Attorney General Eric Holder adds Trump is working to “endanger the fabric of our democracy.” MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on Trump’s attempt to undercut Special Counsel Mueller’s probe and how his intervention defeats the purpose of an “independent counsel.” (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ). Aired on 02/12/20.

TRUMP 2020 EASYYY WIN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For trump, the World ends when he dies, trumpsters will be left to face the music.
@Randy Sanders – Oh Randy – I can see your leaving your words of wisdom all over the place – why don’t you do home to Fox or have some tea.
Mark bodman if you want to talk 💩 you’re better off talking with your like minded friends, you’re not conning anyone here. One more thing, you should put your country before any political party, both sides will 💩 on you when needed
Blackmail and corruption.
trump is fully hates all black males all though i agree with you on the corruption part
TRUMP 2020 EASYYY WIN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Barr!
It is not to late! Barr should be impeached! If the Incumbent Democrats really cared they would charge Barr with treason, and have the Sargent Of Arms arrest him! Put him next to Chelsea Manning, a true hero that deserves the medal of freedom! Let Barr rot in prison, drag his waz through the court system till after the next election’s.
❤️🤗🖖
@Town _Biznessman
This is a war
@Vincent Graham LMAO 4 years and you still think hillary is going to be locked up. some people are too stupid to even realise how stupid they are!
@Vincent Graham have you always been a moron or only since you’ve been drinking from Trump’s cup of corruption?
horribleness??? Trump is so illiterate
@6string1 trump saves the world? almost starting a war in iran? not letting ally countries know trump was going to assassinate what amounts to iran vice president solimani? trump and supporters really want troops to be deployed, or sold for cash to saudi arabia. trump supporters want anything trump and swampfamily want including american people killed.
@88Gibson LesPaul trump will be defeated because enough voters who understand what is happening will not allow trump back in the whitehouse.
@6string1 Save the world? Trump can’t even save his friends from prison.
Whatever happened to Giuliani being indicted? I’m sure Barr made that go away too.
The Rude is still under investigation.
Rudy is giving to much information to hang trump. They will get him later
Maybe they couldn’t find diddly squat to indict him on. Taking advantage of the Stones of the US is one thing. Try doing the same with someone as versed as Mr G. Is another.
@Mark bodman if they have Rudy’s 2 friends Parnes & whatever his name was on campaign contributions charges and we still dont know who is paying Rudy to be in Ukraine. I’m sure they have something on Rudy.
Rudy is hot on the Trail of Hunter Biden 😁👍 go search him on Glenn Beck ✌😁
GOP do you still think Trump has learned his lesson? Morons
They are all ” cowards” except Senator Mitt Romney.
I bet that as a child, Trump would often wet the bed, and then tried to blame it on someone else.
Like the maid!
@Bernard M. hi
I’ll bet you wet the bed quite often.
Seabreeze Coffee Roasters
Mark Bodman is trumpcult zombie. He will alway say something stupid.
@Vannak Entertainment
I hate donald trump and I’m looking forward to his arrest and perp walk!
The DOJ is NOT Trump’s personal Law Firm. Impeach Barr and Vote this corruption out! The money being poured in from Russians and Saudi’s is what is happening here. Money is not my God. But it is to Trump and apparently almost all Republicans in the Senate.
The Russians must have some real good dirt on a whole bunch of Republicans
isabella ericson Obama called his AG his wingman. They serve at the pleasure of the President. You didnt see Obamas AG go after Hillary.
Thats how it is.
Elaine Luikart yes its the Russians!!!! Lol
Usually when someone has dirt on you then you pay them but the Russians are so generous they pay you to have dirt on you. Ahhh the logic, lol
@Elaine Luikart Russians have MONEY. If you have MONEY and people who are willing to take it, you don’t need to have anything else on them. But I’m sure you’re very much right about several of them. They all did run off to Moscow a year or so ago. Wonder why!
@Elaine Luikart TRUMP 2020 EASYYY WIN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If Trump’s allies really cared about his involvement with the Roger Stone case, they would do something about it rather than just spew hot air.
@Randy Potter Laws ?We don’t need no stinking laws!
@Mark Crampton We don’t need no stinking demoBRATS.
@Randy PotterStupid is as stupid does. The Republicans are stupid and apparently so are you.
TRUMP 2020 EASYYY WIN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@Randy Potter Demobrats .3 sylibles !I bet your Mom is really proud!
It is so painful to see how far our country has fallen under this incredibly corrupt Administration.
You Dems are so depressing. Enjoy Trump for another 5yrs👍
@SACRA 916X3R Trump supporters are brainless?? Lol you’re just so intellectually Superior aren’t you.
@P Batt #trump46jr
Barr the Corrupt. That is all he has ever been.
Well he fits perfectly in DC then 👌
This is what you call a banana republic. Anyone that supports this type of thing, remember that means you support any future democrat presidents doing the same thing.
Except that we have too much integrity to go down that rabbit hole.
Laura Walker Don’t count on it. Rs will start reversing their behavior as soon as a Democrat is elected to WH.
Oh, the 3 spinless wonders are objecting!! REALLY??? Hey Susan Collins, how concerned are you now???
Senator Jellyfish woman – how does that orange behind taste?
You know you like it.
collins is very concerned..u notice she pretends its just trump ‘commenting’ on a case…Everyone thank Susan Collins cause she believes trump learned his lesson…oh wait now its i hope…..trump learned alright…now he can do anything. He will try to screw the election over, he tried once and got away with it and will do it again.
Trump is so bad there’s no words anymore for how rotten to the core he is
tom4161 …..I think the word you are looking for is…SATAN,!!!!!!
President Trump is the best president in the last 150 years. I bet that really bothers you.
Trump needs to be arrested along with him.AGAIN HOW MANY CRIMES SINCE WEDNESDAY. IMPEACH AND REMOVE!
Impeach only gets rid of 1 guy. The whole barrel is rotten. These guys have been running rough shod over the laws for 3 years now . Send Democrats some money so we can vote all these guys OUT !!!
TDS🤔
Impeach? You must be stuck on STUPID.
Not going to happen just get out and vote.
Search your heart and confess: trump is murdering the laws of the land, and we’re all guilty because we have allowed it. yes, WE THE PEOPLE. Want to change this? VOTE HIM OUT OF OFFICE
“Trump learned his lesson. ” -Susan Collins
Really , !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Susan Collins is going to learned her lesson in November , VOTE BLUE
His “lesson” is realizing that he is above and beyond the law…any law..
This is clear that Trump promised roger stone and others some form of leniency if they kept quiet about the Russian investigation
I hope Judge Jackson throws the book at Roger Stone. She should give him more than the recommended sentence. Trump will pardon but still…
I don’t think that’s fair. He should be sentenced based on his own actions not that of others. hopefully the judge might find evidence that stone was involved in the obstruction of justice, and he should be tried for that as well with additional charges.
Way to go Susan Collins….Yea Trump really learned his lesson. Yea he learned that he can do ANYTHING and won’t face any consequences!! Collins and the whole GOP are useless!!
TRUMP 2020 EASYYY WIN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
