Top diplomat Bill Taylor delivered damning evidence before Congress, detailing Trump’s orchestrated Ukraine bribery effort. After Taylor shared text messages of his concern for the ‘crazy’ plot to ‘withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign,’ Senator Kaptur says it is clear that Taylor had walked into a ‘rat’s nest.’ Mother Jones’ David Corn argues Taylor’s testimony ‘clearly shows’ Trump made a ‘quid pro quo’ deal. Jones adds Taylor’s ‘meticulous notes’ detail Trump’s ‘mob like’ and ‘crooked’ operation. Aired on 10/23/19.

Impeachment Bombshell: Aide Recounts 'Direct Line' From Ukraine Plot To Trump | MSNBC
Bye Bye Trump.
@Rockstarr Seven I suppose your name Rockstarr is part of your mistaken belief in your superiority over the rest of us. The rambling obscene rant I just read was typical of Trump brainless supporters who no matter what evidence still believe in that moron.
@You’re Not Forgotten you moron, he’s fighting against socialism.
@David Shaw dude, you’re really ignorant. The left and the mainstream media are the liars. All of the mainstream media are communist Jews that want you dead. President Trump is the only thing stopping their plan of world domination from happening. This impeachment inquiry is illegal. Illegal. They are doing this all behind closed doors spreading lies and misinformation to the public. This all needs to be done above board for the world to see. President Trump has the right to confront and cross-examine his accusers. Every man deserves due process.
Only communists have closed door secret hearings.
The very word “secrecy” is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know.

Mr Taylor is not only a Vietnam war veteran, but a true patriot and hero who stood up against a corrupt and compromised Russian asset occupying space in the WH. Americans should be proud of him for doing the right thing – standing up for his country and not a criminal FAKE president.
@Chris Perry if you flipped from Bernie to Trump you have no political awareness to speak of.
The only ones acting like Russian assets are Schiff, Nadler, Brennan, Clapper and Comey!
The DNC does not believe in “sovereignty”[individual or national] or “inalienable human rights”
they have ceded sovereignty to an unelected bureaucracy run by a group of private bankers … [this version is no different to any of it’s predecessors dating back to the 17th century]
the DNC [inter alia] has indoctrinated plebians such as yourself into the ritualistic world of “benefits and obligations” where you accept the status of “chattel of the state” [aka slave] …..
you are so uneducated in the foundations of your own “rule of law” it is humourous and sad at the same time ……
the USA is not alone here ….. the derp state is everywhere.
@Me Me none of that noise makes sense. Peppering it with fancy words doesn’t make it right. Support it with evidence or gtfo.
@Lazerlord Mr. Lord, if you had read the statement correctly you would see I never said I support crooked politicians 🤐
Trump: “I can do whatever I want as president.”
And that explains his reckless behavior towards the law and he was finally caught. He is done. Beautiful.
@Joe Strat Thanks Joe. 🙂
@Rockstarr Seven only you a d your Cultist priest will never die. That’s great
Special Advisor Barron will be the insider who will take Dictator Don out
Republicans don’t need to dress up for Halloween, their pumpkin candle has already burn the itself out. 🎃
@Gary Conner I see what you did there. 😄
Trump Supporters Are like… Look, I know we found him over the dead body, covered in blood, dirt and bruises, muttering that, “he needed to die”… And there where those 3 witnesses saying, “he killed that guy”… And we did find that hand written confession. …. But now he is saying, it wasn’t murder and everyone does it, so I guess he’s not guilty! 😁👍
@Cropper Copper More like, “yeah, so what, we don’t care.” He literally let Isis escape by the dozens and his so-called “patriotic” supporters say “whatever.” Sad.
@Ro G but didn’t you hear? Trump defeated Isis. He said so on his Twitter account, so it must be true. 😉✌
Trump voters have failed America.
I liked “Impeach Trump” season 2 better, this has gotten old and pointless. Where’s Maxine, you can’t do this without her screaming IMPEACH IMPEACH!!! What a joke ya’ll have become. These 6% trusted news stations led you on so easily.
The power of suggestion is strong on a weak mind.
@Dina Noreena 🙊🇺🇸😇🤔🤔🤔I am with you on this one! Wow!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍America wake up before it is too late to save our democratic institutions from these shameless crooked parasitic unpatriotic greedy Republicrooc Party filled with brain dead cult enablers.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😇👍🤔🤔🤔👋👋👋
@Charles Griffin 🇺🇸🤔🤔🤔😇Yes indeed Charles👍😇🙏🙏🙏👋👋👋
Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan have now obstructed the testimony with a new stunt, storming the hearings. Accessories to tRump’s crimes?
Secret hearings are unconstitutional. They had every right to stop the illegal Soviet style proceedings.

Richard Alexander if a citizens would have done that they would be put in jail. So tell me the difference
Barr = Russian asset / possible covert operative. Why else would he be doing what he’s doing?
Blackmail?
His father was the first person to hire Epstein…. an unqualified person teaching children. They both abruptly resigned as soon as an investigation was started into the hiring.
Maybe even Barr himself was involved with Epstein’s little business.
Antony Stringfellow I’ve often had suspicions about that. Especially after Epstein’s extremely convenient Suicide.
William H. Barr is investigating what really occurred in 2016. The truth about the attempted coup is going to come out.
Civil war will come if the Senate does not remove tRump.
Cornered Rats fight the most viciously. Beware America.
Stay United!
@lilly pad These Trump supporters won’t unite with anyone. They are isolationists.
No one wants them.
They are too aggressive, too misinformed, too illogical and too poorly educated while being incredibly arrogant about their level of intelligence. It is called the Dunning-Kruger effect.
For instance, most people think they are above average intelligence but obviously they are not. People who ARE intelligent tend to have credentials and KNOW their flaws as well as their limits.
People who are not intelligent are VERY obvious to those who are. They barely acknowledge their flaws and think they are smarter than everyone else. Kinda like Trump saying he knows more than IT experts or generals. A fat, dumb, sweaty, old, deluded man, convinced of his own genius while he can barely spell, read, write or understand basic concepts. Dunning-Kruger Effect personified.
He doesn’t read. He only believes conspiracy theories and keeps firing his administration because he can’t deal with the truth: that he is a deluded old man owned and played by Putin.
Which are you? A Putin supporter that WANTS to divide the USA?
Or a believer in liberty, unity, love and peace?
@grand wize Indeed. Always remember Putin’s endgame: He wants to punish and divide the allies… ESPECIALLY the USA.
He wants to rebuild the USSR
Remember his methods: Sneaky, underhand… not a shot fired. Will murder to get his way. Has many criminal contacts.
Trump is complying with ALL Putin’s wishes so far…
@Jewels Star You are correct..We will not unite with the worldly system.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?…
2nd Corinthians 6:14
@Jewels Star Who wants us and loves us?-I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan -I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.
what GOP is doing is a disgrace to USA
@Psalm 27:2 You are spewing hatred right now. The Christian “right” are such hypocrites. Nothing like Jesus.
@Psalm 27:2 you gullible schmuck. Just because you watched pulp fiction you think you know something. 😂 Ezekiel is old testament you plum. Where exactly is Christ in that? Nothing you have said or done is Christian.
I wonder how uneducated people these days can be. You clearly know nothing about anything, do you? Go on and read your comic books, you prole.
@Psalm 27:2 whereas you go read your book about the fairy sky man 😂 nice one mongo
Tramp uses the same methods as he always have used – extortion and bribery…
Don’t forget how he wanted to force Zelensky to publicly announce it. Do you recall he tried that with Comey and McGhan?
@Annie nahh yes!
Tramp…..they’re going start getting trampstamps. 😂
Pelosi, Schiff and Dems have become the best Putin’s agents, willing to takedown a POTUS and damage the American system and laws. Her illegitimate and anticonstitucional actions demonstrate the danger of having despotic socialist running our government. Pelosi is planting the seeds of the radical socialists who are determined to destroy our economy and standing in the world. Ppl eventually will realize the craziness of the liberal ideology and will reject them in the next election.
Give Trump a dose of his own medicine: ZERO TOLERANCE for corruption, extortion and bribery!
He has zero tolerance for intelligence–of both the intelligence community’s and having any of his own–haha!
Dems are losing so bad… Well, globalism is failing.
King Trump needs to be dealt with like the dictator he wants to be- OFF WITH HIS HEAD!! Isn’t that what we do with traitors??!
These days it’s usually a firing squad or a hangman’s noose for traitors like Trump, Barr, Giuliani, Pence & Sondland.
Noises You misspelt Clinton, Comey, McCabe, Clapper and Brennan.
…and then we eat cake!😎💅🏼
@Rod Allen sure, you work on that time machine while we start the revolution😊👍👍
worried for their political credibility and survival, Republicans are in “fight or flight”mode , chosing fight. They are not patriots , but only opportunistic politicians.
There goes their political credibility down the drain, with that storm-stunt.
Susy Degiuli that sounds about right
Cowards all.
Lol, what the f-
…That has to be the single most hilariously hypocritical thing I’ve ever heard. Like, did you just listen to yourself? That’s like every leftist on the planet. I don’t think I need to point that out, but just saying the obvious. Look in the mirror buddy. What you see may be ugly, but important for you to process…
All Republicans are on Russia pay. Bill
“he walked into a rat’s nest and the rats are very BIG”
Or perhaps, bigly.
crookedly bigly
Andre Stipanovic DON’T WORRY THE RAT TRAPS ARE SET & THEN THE RAT CHOPPER IS RIGHT THERE BECAUSE THESE FOOLS ARE JUST ABOUT TO STEP IN THE RAT TRAP BECAUSE THEIR LIES HAVE JUST ABOUT LET THE TRAP SLAM DOWN ON THEIR SELF
@Lynn Winn ok Lynn
“You must have big rats, if you need a Hattori Hanzo steal” – Hattori Hanzo
Nice to see Patriots standing up to the liar in chief and his traitors. Diaper Donnie will be whining more than ever, good times.
Bunch of ripoff cons storming the room with the evidence of everything right there at beginning… And it’s not even the full transcript.
they will pay for this …in bacon.
@MIchael Rigby I hope you’re right, because I got to tell you it seems like they can do anything they want. We keep saying no one’s about the law.
@Rodney I recognize no law that is enforced by trump. Good luck trying to take a democrat into custody without first showing your voter i.d.
i.e. any democrat in this country has absolutely no representation with the GOP in control. All arrests of dems are political in nature,all prosecutions of dems are an act of extra-judicial rendition.
@MIchael Rigby Bacon did nothing wrong! /j
How about in the future any candidate running for office has to pass a test on the US Constitution before being allowed to run?
A basic literacy test would have screened Dolt 45 out.
@Grace Munich So people who disagree with you shouldn’t be allowed the same free speech rights you enjoy? Got it. Nice Marxist double standard you’ve got there. You want YT to be more of a Marxists echo chamber than it already is. Sooner or later, if you think for yourself and don’t just echo the party line, you will express an opinion which will put you at odds with your oh so tolerant comrades and they’ll want to or will shut you down.
@Grace Munich Link to a post of yours made when Hillary was staggering around during her campaign, followed closely by her doctor holding an EpiPen, that you demanded she make her medical records public.
@Charles Peter Surely you jest.
Yeah that and grade eight geography and a neuro-lingual scan of their brain to see if they are a psychopath…and a thorough audit of their taxes….and some kind of psychiatric test for basic human empathy….???
When he leaves the white house (I hope real soon), justice (NYC among others) is waiting to tear him to pieces!
On the off chance that he is impeached and removed from office before his term ends we get mike pence as president and he Will pardon trump. And then that Southern district case falls apart
Hillary is going to run again in 2020 so y’all can just kiss your favorite clown candidates goodbye
@Todd Adams A presidential pardon only applies to federal crimes. The POTUS has *no authority* to issue pardons for state or municipal crimes. Look it up if you don’t believe me. Here, I’ll even give you the correct link: https://www.justice.gov/pardon/pardon-information-and-instructions
@Barry Sutton no she’s not..trolls working both sides of the aisle.
*If we’re looking into a “Perfect Conversarion” and we find all this. Then what must be behind all of Trump’s other “Great Conversations”?*
I haven’t seen this twisted blind loyalty since Rev. Jim Jones.
WHERE IS THE KOOL AID THE SENATE GOP NEEDS A GOOD DRINK TO CLEAR THE STENCH
I’m old enough to remember! Sad, very SAD!!!
Satan jim
The largest transfer of wealth(4.3 Trillion Dollars) in the history of the world moved to Wall Street from 2009-2015 through “Quantitative Easing” while you and I signed the IOU by the Fed Reserve and WE never knew it. Not a mention of it at all by these MSM media outlets or Obama. And you might wonder why after Obama left the WH he gave a speech to them for 400K FOR AN HOUR speech. Do you wish you could make 400K an hour?
If you think that was the only travesty of the Obama era you’d be mistaken but do you think you’d hear it from these NEWS outlets? You didn’t.
