In a new TIME Magazine article, Joyce Vance writes that Mueller's exchange with Rep. Val Demings where Mueller tells her that many Trump associates lied and that those lies impeded his investigation is the most important exchange in Mueller's testimony. She discusses why with Lawrence O'Donnell.

Joyce Vance On The Most Important Exchange In Mueller's Testimony | The Last Word | MSNBC
Well Clearly there was a conspiracy to lie. Why do Trump’s closest allies do that? I wonder.
Cohen said it. And Axios did a great report on the joke of a vetting process these rethuglikkkan clowns do.
The usual answers are money, power, more money
Power & Money work well on greedy people like few republicans who protect Trump. Let’s hope that it’isn’t Russian money.
Brilliant woman: Joyce Vance. Thanks Lawrence.
Brilliant women, Val Deming’s and Joyce Vance…

OH, by the way, gutter imp… The sun is the Creator God… Oh, the irony
Joyce Vance, now and forever, you are my Sun Queen.
Funny. You are my moonlight, my rainbow and I do crack with my kids while listening to Maryann Williams spread peace ✌️
@rehan memon lots of troll farmers on here. Very well stated. Thank you. I am weary of the MAGNAts who. need to be sprayed like all pesty insects.
@JoAnne Middaugh insects are an essential part of life on this planet… MAGNats have no purpose or useful function in life.
@Hannah wells #Facts
Impeach the orange traitor now.
Diksukking Lips 💋
You’ll be sucking brimstone eternal before Trump gets out of office
There was conspiracy, there was interference, there was obstruction… No news! But what is missing now is justice.
5657889 Adbskad And WHAT have trumps policies actually DONE for you?
@Paul Judkins Trump derangement syndrome is legitimately hilarious
@Raoul Radio Given us one of the strongest economies in like 30 years?
— > Evidence of a conspiracy is implied by a cover-up of the Russian interference by Trump on Page 57, Vol II of the Muller Report.
… “Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including THE RUSSIAN-INTERFERENCE and obstruction investigations.” (Mueller Report, Page 157, Volume II)
I agree with Joyce Vance completely! Thank you congresswoman Demings for asking the most important question! Mueller did not get complete information from the witnesses because trump had all the relevant information either deleted or withheld from Mueller!
Oh my, so much mass delusion. Dear angry leftists. Get a grip.
Agreed these two women get to the point and right down to business in a language that can easily be understood.
Presumption of Innocents. You may not have it in your country, but it’s how the justice system in the USA is supposed to work. The fact that it is NOT working that way, should be a giant red flag in your face. So intelligent.
What an embarrassing end to this fiasco. An attempted coup, an attempt to overturn a legitimate election, that nobody wants to be bothered to investigate and the perpetrators may never be held accountable.
If Mueller was the great man of great character he was proclaimed, then he should have been bored by investigating the silly Russian collusion charge and yearned to do the real work of bringing the perpetrators to justice.
But as those behind the coup seem to be his friends, he opted to cover for them. What a disgrace.
So Lying to the FBI is a Crime, But Trumps Continuous and Obvious Lies to the American People is OK
——–America is severely Damaged
@El Hombre de oro At this point in your life, you sadly do not find dishonesty to be problematic. But consider, say, all those people who voted for Trump, believing him when he said that if he won, another country would pay for them to have a brand new wall. (I know, it sounds ridiculous, but that’s how Trumpsters are). Don’t you think Trump owes them an apology?
@Herman47 I am just 23 years old and I try to be careful about what I am saying. I find lies and dishonesty very problematic, I have serious trust issues.
But being very careful with my words works for me and not being very cautious with his words works for the President of the USA and that’s the way it is.
NO—-El Hombre de oro—-What I want is Fairness—I want that Mexican man who drowned with his INFANT Daughter to be treated with the same respect and Care as someone from Norway or Sweden———- I want Cops to stop shooting Black men 18 times in the Back—No matter what crime they committed—I would like America to help those South American immigrants in their own Country so they won’t have to risk Traveling Here
@Nicholas Woods well my parents came from Argentina, but they didn’t drag my eldest sibling through Amazon, Andes and Rio Grande, Swedes and Norwagian parents don’t drag their toddlers across Atlantic. If you and your daughter get killed in some country while attempting to crossover in our country *ILLEGALLY* we are not responsible.
I am horrified to see the poor quality of education and poor Human Development Index among black community. This community has been used and abused by the Democratic Party for a couple of centuries and they have been left to their own devices by the Republican Party.
I am upset to see the extreme political polarization in this country. Both sides have a sense contempt and utter hatred of the other side.
@Nicholas Woods there is a bunch of American homeless people on the streets you can open your doors to and shelter & feed. Sponsor a homeless family.
Demings should’ve asked all the questions, she did great
I wish Katie Porter had been given some time to ask questions too.
I thought she was fabulous too.
Mr W agreed. I’ve seen her ask questions before and they are always spot on, less the fan fair and get straight to the point.
I love Joyce Vance and always love to hear from her!
I love this man💗💗 (Muller) 💗💗his face tells a story of conscience mettle honesty and even wittiness some times.💗💗💗

Serpent mole Mueller who covered up Hillarys murders and corruption was investigating Trump for Hillarys Russian collusion lie making him the dirtiest cop in history.. Thus proving you’re a mindfukked bimbo brainwashed by msnbc serpent brainwashing operatives
@Shah Bashah You can see a senile man. I feel sorry for him. You hung your hat on him and he doesn’t know half of what his report says. Remember all this corruption and interference happened while your precious Obama and HIS justice department was watching elections.
LMAO
Ms. Vance is the cream of the crop, the expert’s expert… Isn’t it time Ms. Vance have her own show? Not so much as an interviewer, but more as a Legal Guide…
Or cream of the crap.
I have two proposals:
1) Impeach now. or,
2) Open an Impeachment Inquiry in the House (which gives Congress special powers), draw it out THROUGH the election, and Impeach the day after.
You cannot impeach without a majority in the Senate..
Timbone, the House impeaches, not the Senate. The trial would be held in the Senate.
It looks like Pelosi wants a bipartisan impeachment, which, sadly, won’t happen (not now, at least), which is why there is a slow roll towards it. They’re sticking to the rules while informing the public with what they’ve found.
It’s painfully slow, sure, but this process exposes Trump loyalists, which could possibly open more doors for Democrats to take next year.
Pelosi is becoming a crimminal for her no action
@MrMojoRisinn, yeah, that’s not a crime =/
Diabolical. Now Trump calls the onvestigators traitors and Barr’s bringing back the death penalty. They’re obstructing and silencing, abusing their power. Very dangerous!
I agree with you Me Too.
Joyce Vance is awesome. No doubt about it.
If they Lied !!!…. Who Else needs to be prosecuted !?
If there was No crime as Trumpet says….Why did he try so hard to Stop it !?
and if there was crimes, why weren’t they mentioned in the report? There was plenty of crimes and there better be some ropings, starting with mueller
Jail Jr. For Obstruction of JUSTICE now!
“And we’re just about to hear the most important thing Mueller said about the crimes the President committed, right after this commercial break….”
Oh, America.
Mueller’s testimony was a 7 hr. WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S
How freaking stupid can Americans be…particularly from the country area! My goodness!
The best part was the break!!!
Mueller was a stammering fool who didn’t know his own report.
