Impeachment Witness Says Transcript Of Trump-Zelenskiy Call Was Not Complete | The Last Word | MSNBC
Republicans say “nobody is above the law” when they talk about Democrats but when they talk about fellow Reps or Dear Leader Trump it doesn’t apply.
Despicable.
Orange Man bad, Orange Man bad….0r4nge Man Bad…..0range Man Bad …0range Man Bad
Noone is Above the Law, said Nancy, MaxxiNe, ect…..BUT, IS HILLARY? Huh? …illegal dangerous to agents, national security servers , hacked into? Oh, there was now law against private PAY2PLAY severs, for DNC fake CHARITY Ros Atom, ect miilions? Are u asleep, or, just pretending to be? 🤔
They are really creepy.
Conspiracat
You flipped you actors upside down.
@P J @ Fighting for the ESTABLISHMENT – you are truly “ORIGINAL THINKER”! XA XA XA XA!!!!!!!!!
Vindman ( war hero) a man of honour and courage. Trump a coward and traitor.
@Ash Roskell If only the 25 other people who were listening in on the call to the Ukrainian president were given an opportunity to testify, Vindman would be exposed for the liar he is.
@JOE
Let’s rank the Trump Economy: The president brags about U.S. prosperity. But conditions improved more under his predecessors. (Even Carter.)

Here are some niffy graphs that prove you are oh so ever wrong.

How many first hand witnesses are necessary to believe the first hand witness?
Biggus Dickus it that’s how you know you don’t live in a democracy anymore.
“ Tyranny: that which is legal for the government, but illegal for the citizens.” Voltaire
@VanGiai Do Oh… is that the official Trump propaganda line now? How about last week when the Federal judge ruled that the Impeachment inquiry is legitimate and doesn’t require a floor vote to start, then she ordered the DOJ to hand over Grand Jury information from the Mueller investigation? I bet you don’t want to talk about that. Right?
Brian Cahoon If it were me, I would have done everything by the law. If it were me I would not have told thousands of lies during my time in office. If it were me, I would have looked at the man that came before me and tried to serve with just half the integrity that he had instead of trying to denigrate him because of his race. If it were me, I would have called the people at Charlottesville what they hey were, RACIST , and told America that we will not stand for it. If it were me I would not be stealing funds to build a wall that most of America does not want. And finally if it were me, I would not have snuck around trying to get another country to investigate a man that is trying to be the next president, because that is clearly a violation of the law. I could go on and on but you get the picture. Trump has brought all of this on his self. So stop with the poor Donnie stuff.
Of course tRump had the transcript white washed & made it incomplete. William Barr done the same thing with the Mueller Report.
@Cherrie Dee : Are you seriously telling yourself that the Mueller Report hasn’t been doctored? When you see whole pages of solid black, what are you telling yourself that is?
@Rod Allen : If the Mueller Report is as good for the presidunce as the Repugnantcons keep telling us, why are they ‘still’ refusing to release it in unredacted form? If it was so good, you would think they would be tripping over themselves to show it to the world.
The impecable career AG Barr has contributes to his honor and integrity. He will follow the facts to wherever they lead.
@kc Cox : spluurgh…! Don’t say things like that when I’ve just taken a sip of my coffee. I have to wipe it all off my keyboard now.
Well of course it wasn’t complete, that’s was the only reason Traitor Trump was so eager to release an edited version of the transcript.
@James Anastasia
They know what he did was wrong, very wrong.
They just don’t care because they are scared shitless of getting primaried..
nope
Even the edited version showed he was committing a crime.
Real M exactly – thats how dumb they are
A blind sailor told me Trump’s presidency stinks worse than a sh*thouse door on a tuna boat!
ROFL Dude, I spit pop/soda all over myself. I am 51 and I have never heard that one. May I use that plz? Classic!!!!!
your face mr moscow
This (blind sailor/Ancient Mariner) friend of yours pretty well sums it up .
@Grim Reefer That’s a take on “The wood sniffer joke” my brother told me way back in the seventies witch at the time I thought was ridiculous, and it goes like this…there’s an old blind guy sitting at a bar near a navy port full of sailors on leave and the blind guy sitting at the bar says to the bartender…”wow, this is a really nice mahogany bar top you have here and the bartender says ” Your blind how do you know its Mahogany?”…And the blind guy says “Well I’m a wood sniffer by trade and the bartender says “I got an idea we can make some money, I will have people bring their wood in and make bets you can guess what kind it is!” so that night the bar is full and everybody getting drunk and thay all brought their wood in and the wood sniffer is guessing every wood correctly and they’re winning money and the wood sniffer is leaning over sniffing wood ‘That’s maple from Toronto …Sniff sniff “That’s birch from New York and one drunken sailor jokingly grabs a prostitute and puts her up on the bar…and the Wood Snifferv says …”HMM, I don’t know… turn your wood around …Hmmm well, you got me but if I took a guess …It would be the shithouse door off of a tuna boat!” …and thats the wood sniffer joke
Great in-sight that blind sailor has.
Laura Ingraham should be fired.
@Serendipity She is teaching them to hate America. One can not spew $uch hate on air and then go home and sing another song. Those foreign born babies should be taken from her pronto. By the way, where are the brown babies snatched from their parents at the border?
13molly 13 as a minimum, Fox should be sued for smearing.
I’ve ‘fired her’ a long time ago from the area of my brain that says, ‘hey, this person is a seeker of REAL truth. I’m going to listen and respect what this person says.” Anyone who writes a book called “In Trump We Trust” must really have some screws loose.
@ruthe Rd– Sadest thing is that Trump may still be separating children even though he was ordered not. His administration has, also, not kept track of how many children they took from parents, what children belong to what parents, nor where the children were placed. It is unthinkable, yet may be possible, that close to 13,000 children may have been separated from their parents since January 2017 when Trump started this action.. They didn’t count or keep track of the children they took from parents legally crossing the border. Some children may never be reunited, especially those under 3 years.
“In May 2019, the administration acknowledged that at least an additional 1,712 migrant children may have been separated from their parents even before the “zero tolerance” policy was implemented.”
“Since June 2018, despite the official end of the separation policy, hundreds of additional children have been separated from their parents. In March 2019, the government reported that since that time, 245 children had been removed from their families, in some cases without clear documentation undertaken to track them in order to reunite them with their parents. The House Committee on Oversight and Reform reported in July 2019 that over 700 children have been separated from their parents after the policy’s official end.
In July, it was reported that as many as five children per day were being separated, and by October, the total had reached 1,090”

Smart people in a smart interview.
IMPEACH and send him to jail already

Impeach and Remove, Drag, Imprison.
Lt Cor v Cadet . Purple Heart v bonespur. Let me guess who to believe.
It was written down as “birthmarks on both heels” apparently. Idkr
Remember when Republicans hated Obama for no good reason? Karma is here.
Oh, they had a reason,….his skin color,…. narrow-minded racist s!
@Kirys.My.Tube Besides being full of shyte, you’re calling your god a list. Ironically, one of the very few times he told the truth was when he admitted that Pres. Obama is an American born citizen. tsk
@bluegold21 As horrific as Pence would be, there’s no way he would be as bad as Trump. At least we would have a country and a chance to rebuild, after we get quickly rid of him.
Let’s be honest. The GOP, led by Mitch McConnel hated Obama because hes black.
The tired, white racists in the GOP showed their true stripes for 8 years and then became bold and blatant about their bigotry when The Nazi In Chief was elected
@v blackwell I suppose. I just wouldn’t want to ignore the risk of having a theocrat with ambitions of totalitarianism sitting in the Whitehouse. No matter how short a time he has on the chair.
Trump could serve his base a plate of shi€ and say it was a gourmet dinner and they would eat it and ask for seconds😂😂
@Rod Allen My question is this: Did you vote for Trump because you liked his policies? Or did the facebook account run by a Russian Troll tell you to?
Now to wash it down with, the cool aid.
Imagine, in a Republican’s mind a man who risked his life and fought for a country for decades isn’t loyal to that country and is “probably a traitorous spy”, but a coward who dodged the draft and uses the country to enrich himself is a “true patriot and champion of the people”.
Kaiza well said !!
Kaiza Like General Flynn?
F’d up isn’t it
It’s even harder to “imagine” Trump
being our President.
Trump’s monomaniacal – he never says anything once, he says it over and over again – especially when it comes down to something he wants. To make it look like he mentioned the Bidens once only is ridiculous and insulting to our common sense.
He’s been working on this for a year.
@Unintended Consequences Nope, he’s been perfecting getting away with sh*t behavior his entire life.
Impromptu
Biden wants to be president, and I want to know the facts on him and his son, before any election. We know what Joe admitted to, because we heard him.
He repeats everything, to make everyone believe what he is saying , to be the truth. Trump knows he lies every time he opens his mouth. But he does it to brainwash anyone who will listen to him. That’s why he repeats and repeats and repeat because he is trying to brainwash everyone he can , for his own agenda.
@kc Cox It’s already been investigated and closed, Trump just wants you to believe it hasn’t. The conclusions were that Biden Jnr got the gig because of his surname, he was very foolish to take it, but Biden Snr wasn’t involved, did nothing wrong and acted on international wishes to remove a prosecutor who corruptly wasn’t investigating corruption and wasn’t involved in the Burisma case. If he was trying to protect his son it would have suited him not to press for the guy’s removal. Trump is engaged in… erm… you could call it a witch hunt. It doesn’t matter to him what the outcome of a reopened investigation would be – he knows it would be open during the campaign and throw up exactly the sort of doubt you’re expressing. In Trump’s world, innuendo is more important than facts.
Isn’t doctoring an official transcript illegal in itself? When is enough enough?
Roman Devito Seems there’s no answer to that. Trump’s gone way beyond that and is continuing full speed ahead.
@Sarah Shah QUOTE: You seriously expect us to believe Fox Channel? Then by that definition you should listen to Shepherd Smith because he called out Fox about this on numerous occasions on his show. << --------- I quite agree: Fox isn't real journalism; it is entertainment that masks itself as 'journalism'; it is mostly Right-Wing Propaganda and a Shameless Shill for this CORRUPT President. 🙁
@JOE Rotflmao. Thx. After these last 3 miserable years, I needed a good laugh. Got more?
Roman Devivo …. illegal if caught… ? Talk about conspiracies…
Of course it is illegal to “doctor a transcript”
Hey Trump! You are “barking up the wrong tree” when you are calling out a Honorable U.S.Soldier whose credibility is superior than yours! Trump you are fake!
@Janine Bain and who are you talkin to anyway because you are not talking to me. But you sent me a comment. And he’s not my president just like I said. I don’t fall for corruption, and that is what Trump is. He needs to be voted out in 2020 if not impeached and removed.
Patricia Ray I was responding to Keith Mcmorrow’s pathetic words. I didn’t send you anything other than a like for your previous comment
@Janine Bain they are so brainwashed you can’t change their minds. They believe lies are the truth , they don’t want to believe the truth is the truth. We can talk until we’re blue and they will never change their mind they have already made up their mind that he is right and everyone else is wrong.
Patricia Ray I know it’s sad.
When next year comes and it’s time to vote I hope everybody votes for someone who wants change, and not go back to the old ways , that’s how we ended up with Trump.
And some republicans can’t tell the truth about this to the American people.
GOP RIP
When Congress has to ask for a transcript, the system is broken.
The criminal should NOT be in charge of an investigation into the criminal.
Amen!
Exactly. Schiffer Brains must Resign!!!!
“THE PRESIDENT!” I Still cannot seem to wrap my head around this man being called “The President.”
Gertrude Buck indeed how long do we wait to get the people’s White House back they’re still letting him appoint federal judges i can’t believe that!
