House Democrats Hone In On Bribery As Possible Impeachment Charge | The Last Word | MSNBC
Mick did trump try and bribe ukrain?
Mick Mulvaney: “Get over it!”
@randall casteel I think it was more serious than a bribe. A bribe implies that the person can say “no” and not be hurt. Like I could (but wouldn’t) give money to get an A on a test. The teacher could say “no” and not be hurt by it. Extortion fits better, as it implies a threat against the person will cause harm. In this case, withholding aid caused the deaths of several Ukrainians. Just more death in the wake of Trump actions…
And there in lies the rub! Guilty
@Andrew Forrester you are showing your stupidity. Learn about the government. Go to a library for goodness sakes!
@Hit?Sunk! he should have learned a little bit about our Constitution and history.
Mulvaney you get over impeachment!!
There are only two loyalties appropriate to each and every government worker: 1. Loyalty to the US Constitution and 2. Loyalty to the rule of law. It is the duty of every government to speak the truth to power. Anyone and everyone straying from these basic principles in embarking on a betrayal of America.
ah yup
works that way out here in the real world
excepting our own “constitutions”, and laws
‘murika needs fixing, pronto
Russian troll-bots out in force today.
@w1ldflwr572 Amy Schumer
@w1ldflwr572 also, your argument is flawed lol
You’re moving the goalposts and also, people on the right don’t rely on celebrities to tell them what’s funny, it’s why all your hollywood movie humor has devolved into poop and pee jokes.
That’s what happens when you listen and believe. You get uncreative.
@dan mac Time for you to find out what a troll is, Boo!
I’m sure they’re here every day. Good Hear this all Russian bots and other parasites keep your politics and your contamination out of our country. we don’t want it and we send you a gift it’s a bit trumpy but you already think it’s adorable.
@Dulcie Gray That was pathetic. Baby, in the words of the worst president in recent memory, Barack Hussein Obama: *DO BETTER!*
Oh ffs. The *very core requirement and purpose* of all Inspector Generals, _is to _*_NOT_*_ be “loyal” to _*_anything_*_ – but the interests of the nation as a whole and the rule of law!_
If the rule of law was followed most of the government would be out of work and or in prison.
@Barskor1 and they may end up there.
Exactly those loyalists to trump are nothing but fools, and they can’t even read their bibles. SHAMEFUL EXAMPLES OF CHRISTIANS.
@Sharon Mores Name one major political figure that actually spent hard time in prison.
Goalpost have seemed to be moved for the 33rd time. 🤔🤔🤫🤫🤐🤐
Trump had no say in if ukraine got that money. His job was to send the money to Zelenski by ambassador to shore up an aliince to fight the russian Scum trump serves. And then take the credit for the help. That was what was supposed to happen.
@MysticFiddler1 What the left has done has EVERYTHING to do with what’s going on with Trump right now. Everything they accuse him of is something they’ve already done themselves (or are currently still doing) and they’re using the public accusations to distract from their own crimes. The Quid Pro Quo they’re attacking him for was done by Joe Biden in the Ukraine, and Biden admitted it on camera when he said *_”I’m leaving here in 6 hours, if that prosecutor’s not fired, you don’t get the money”_* (his exact words) and LESS than six hours later, the prosecutor was fired and the Ukraine got their $2 Billion Dollars.
The unredacted transcript of the Ukraine phone call proves there was no Quid Pro Quo. Trump checkmated the game with that transcript release, and ANYONE who testifies to something other than what the transcript says is going to be guilty of PERJURY. Here’s a clue you so desperately need, the CIA spook whistleblower wasn’t even IN the White House when that phone call was made, and he never read the transcript either.

*Think about it folks 🤔 Which will you be?*
@NinjaRider777R I think you sound threatened by intelligence, and fearful of truth.
@NinjaRider777R Oh, you poor dear. Remove the log from thy own eye…
@Headford Coyote Yes. The poster really got under his skin.
@jolenealaska The Mueller report wasn’t even written by Mueller. He didn’t even know what was in the report when he testified under oath. It was written by one of his staffers. BTW, Mueller as an investigator is NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED to pronounce something legal or illegal. All he is legally allowed to do is GATHER EVIDENCE and hand it off to someone who does have that legal authority. Bill Barr is that person, and he decided that there was NOT SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE to move forward with a criminal prosecution. Get over it, Mueller was a fraud, he and his team BROKE THE LAW on numerous occasions with their “perjury trap” questioning and blackmail techniques. A total of FOUR investigations into the same thing, more than $65 Million Taxpayer Dollars WASTED when all four investigations reached the SAME RESULTS of No Collusion, No Obstruction.
Ari called out bribery! Ari removed trump from office given senate republicans will uphold the constitution
A clown trying to bribe a comedian. Can it get more ridiculous?
Yup. The GOP has no bottom.
I see what U did there….😂😂😂💀💀💀💯
Hold on i,ll call : Krusty The Klown .
If a pres can be impeached for getting a BJ then one should be able to get impeached for this Ukraine issue. Do you think that if Obama did the same thing that the trumplicants wouldnt be doing the same thing now that has been going on with trump?
Talk to your boy Biden about using public funds to influence the Ukraine.
He got impeached for LYING about it and trying to cover it up.
Impeachment inquiry is ongoing.
Remember. Never go full mulvaney!
I never thought I would live to see the day when this country would hold back aid to a country in desperate need because they are worried how it would affect Putin. When did we start caring about what the Russians think? Trump needs to be placed under the jail. The swamp Republican are not afraid of Trump, Trump is crooked and as long as he is in power they can get away with their own side deals. That’s the problem
THIS SHOWS JUST HOW MANY CROOKED POLITICIANS ARE IN OUR SENATE. JIM JORDAN AND NUNEZ MADE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES.
Tried to hold up aid to Ukraine for dirt on political opponent, real low life thug thing to do.
His (Biden) current opponent is warren.
Pardesi Life, Biden can clear this entire matter up with a few hours of his time and continue with his campaign by answering questions, under oath, about his knowledge and relationship with Burisma then Trump will not only have “egg on his face” but there would actually be a case to move forward.
Can a second charge be added? Obstruction of justice ( Mueller Report)?
That’s on Barr! The deceiver.
Barack Obama was on trial for being Black and White 👻
Ohhhh, so NOW it’s bribery. Got it 😉
It’s always been bribery, a$$hole. It’s just that the Republicans were repeating quid pro quo ad nauseum (attempting to redefine it and strip it of its meaning)….Not to mention the fact that this White House continually waffles between denying it and bragging about it
“they say it’s the best impeachment ever of any president ……PERFECT”
I thought “give me what I want or something bad will happen” was extortion.
I love
