Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe tells Lawrence O’Donnell that obstructing Congress from carrying out its duties to conduct an impeachment inquiry is an "impeachable offense." Professor Tribe also discusses the court ruling that Trump must release his tax returns, telling Lawrence that the federal appeals court issued a ruling so narrow that there is "no basis at all" for the Supreme Court to disagree. Aired on 11/04/19.

Laurence Tribe: Trump Committed ‘High Crimes And Misdemeanors’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Individual number one is a multiple felon and a traitor.
Get “Himself” out. Whatever it takes. “”Himself “ is a clear and present danger to the U.S.A. Lock himself up.
Himself is sooo proud of himself for outsmarting our judicial system. I hope himself gets locked up forever. Himselfs attitude (grab’em. By the pu..y) will most likely keep himself warm and happy in prison, maybe?
Evelyn Petroski
Fingers crossed
Evelyn you are so funny 🤣
So obvious toooo
The way he reached around like cupping a mans breasts recently.
Frosting on the cake as how immature his brain is.
A 7th grader has more morals.
This has now become a rogue presidency. It needs to be stopped otherwise this country is in critical danger
Your country is already in danger, and has been for a while.
@Ephesians 6:12 Another evangelical Christian, who has been deceived by the principalities of darkness, masquerading as an angel of light, through a phony president! Trump is another boastful, “little Anti Christ.” He is unrighteous, immoral, unethical, and has never repented!..If we don’t learn from history (analogous to how Hitler deceived the masses in germany in the 1930s), we are doomed to repeat it. “Ye shall know them by their fruits.” You sir, are choosing to ignore one of God’s simple truths, by placing party and policy, OVER TRUTH.
“Oh foolish Ephesians 6:12! Who has bewitched you?
@Robert Heintze
Oh Robert, Taketh the plank out of your own eye, you hypocrite.
You judge Trump by your own sins, you spawn of satan.
You think you know him?
I like his style. I like the good he has done for America.
Most of all Robert, I like how he triggers lying and idolatrous fools like you.
God chose David who was no angel.
I imagine you would drag your tongue across the rectum of Putin if Hillary asked you to.
Begone you demon!
Self interest before national interest. Greed and power before country. That’s the Republicans and Trump. Vote them all out in 2020.👣💙
Yes, and we need to completely dissolve the Republican party and clean out the Democrats in order to move forward after this disgusting and dishonorable Russian coup!
@Tyrade Shift I believe these actions you mention to be the most dire of any time in America’s history. thank you for putting it so succinctly. These actions are of such great import that we cannot afford to not act without the most disastrous consequences including great suffering for our children and their children.
@Cheryl Simser – I get sick and tired of hearing ‘our children and their children’. Do it now for ‘ME’. If I get it, then our children and their children will get it but for now, it’s ME!
Unfortunately, our country cannot wait another year. He needs to get his poisonous self out ASAP.
j walsh hopefully he will be out before that election. What Americans will need to do is to make sure the party that supported him, lied for him and obstructed justice for him are never allowed in power again.
Nice try, crooks. The Supreme Court won’t even entertain the idea. Hand over those tax returns.
Ash Roskell – I don’t think Trump supporters are going to listen to any real facts, unless it is honestly reported on Faux News.
I seriously doubt they will cover it fully, they are famous for playing the tape in the background, with the sound off, while they talk over it with commentary/propaganda.
He thinks he own the Supreme Court!
@S H Yep. In his little, purely transactional mind: ” I appointed you. You owe me.”
@state924 I’ve seen them turn on anyone on Faux Newz who dares say anything negative about Dear Leader.
The sooner Trump leaves office, the sooner he goes to prison.
VOTE!
@Frank S if he keeps doing what he is doing he will. A leopard can’t chang its spots can it, of course not.
@Dianne Fulton—-LoL, yeah, when pigs fly
@Frank S You are a Trump supporter aren’t you. Well he can’t help himself he is too immature to understand what he is doing. Too stupid as well.
@Jess W sounds like you ought to get your details right about history.
It’s certainly not the case that all past presidents were under investigation, for certain, not formally and really not even unofficially by some other political party.
A president cannot defend a nation if he is not held accountable to its laws.
Dream Big …. trump has never intended to defend your nation.
Not then, not now.
He’ll go to his grave defending his lies though.
Putin’s puppet was installed to tear down the nation. The nation deserves it if the nation has ignored every shred of evidence that points to this fact.
@bmon40 40 exactly foolish Americans.
@Gary V Oh, God….More conspiratorial nonsense from Judicial Watch?
I’m glad that the orange clown’s tax returns are finally seeing the light. A light that will show very clearly the extent to which Trump is a con and criminal that has cheated the government for years.
You better believe he’s already contacted his two supreme Court Justice’s and told them to expect those court rulings to come there and they NEED to intercept it.
@Annie
Those two justices are on the court now and he can’t remove them , so contacting them is meaningless .
Hmm. What if the ones who worked for him and didn’t get paid, have receipts in his tax paperwork? Just sayin’.
Donald Trump has done so much dirt…He’s disgusting!!! I would love to see the look on the faces of Republican Congress now that those transcripts are out!!!
AND Republicans are going to REGRET demanding PUBLIC HEARINGS. I’m looking forward to them.
@McKittrick Hyatt OH-MY .. So they are still capable of thinking. They must be terribly disappointed. & this is hardly gotten started. They wanted transparency (as we all do) & they’re getting it. The release of transcripts & soon PUBLIC HEARINGS, too. Hope they’re ready. Klernex & a bottle of their favorite libation. They’re gonna need it.
@April Jones-Foston yeah! Come to think of it, hey not make public all the behind closed doors meetings Donnie had with Putin?
And all the dictators as well?
I am surely positive we all want to see Donnie deep throating.(not really) haha!
They dont care about the truth or corruption because they are corrupt. Its all about side dealings and money and support for their careers with the republicans. It was never about democracy or the constitution and least of all we the people. Its sad and wrong but happening.
The Republicans look physically ill. MOSCOW-mitch in particular looks as tho he’s trying desperately to hold back tears. Most of them scurry about, trying to avoid cameras & questions.
Finally the Dems are taking charge and using their legal power. It’s about time.
@Kevin Skiles Right on. I only wish someone like him would run for president. I am not impressed with any of the current candidates.
@Ronnie Mead
I’d certainly vote for him.
@Kevin Skiles I hope the democrats realize how unsuitable all the current candidates are and have an ace up their sleeves. Because none of these are going to be able to take down the lying criminal trump if he is still around. Hopefully, he will be long gone before the election.
Yep
Even a failed conspiracy is still a conspiracy. The memorandum of the call is the original crime. Everything in today’s released depositions is the conspiracy. Stay tuned. More will follow.
This Trump Administration has the most outstanding debt in the history of the world.
@Ephesians 6:12 conservative propaganda media doesn’t count as ethical journalism fool.
@Ephesians 6:12
Obama offered to close all overseas tax shelters – this would have ended the debt. But your Republican heroes in Congress refused to grant the tax reform he sought. Therefore, the debt did not stem from Obama. It came from your Republicans. And, naturally, it has gotten far worse under Republican traitor tRUMP.
The donald is a CON Artist who has mastered MISREPRESENTING himself to the world. He’s never been a phenomenal businessman. Republicans would have been wise to have paid closer attention to his many bankruptcy’s as a red flag. (even tho he used bankruptcy as regular m.o) He’s ruined every business he’s started. What he’s done for the AMERICAN FARMERS, he will do for you.
@Ephesians 6:12 when “Obama” is in the first sentence, it’s a clue you actually have nothing to contribute. Just wanted to share it seems DEMOCRATS get the nation’s debt down, only for Republicans to increase the debt & deficit. U might want to check, maybe get a few FACTS before speaking in error.
merc cadoosis yes, imagine how great trump’s economy could have been had the Repubs backed Obama’s plan.
I hope Donald Trump gets impeached as soon as possible.
@Debra Deroos Yep, I agree totally! I’m thinking they’re probably gonna have to have Trump physically removed! That will be fun to watch! 😆
And removed. We need our democracy returned to us. No joke.
Christopher Santana oh the House will Impeach trump alright . You can bet money on that , BUT will the Senate find him guilty is the real question . If they want to lose in 2020 they won’t impeach and I hope they realize they need to step up and stop enabling one of the most corrupt person elected as president and not only vote yes for Impeachment and yes that he has to leave office !
Ohh come on, let’s impeach and remove him as soon, as soon as possible. It is already much, much more than enough!!!
Brainstorming Plus We’re doing our best. The system is kinda creaky.
The problem is you need an absolutely air tight case or Senate Republicans will just hand wave it away.
Evidence is fine but when do arrests for all these no-shows begin?
No one is above the law!
Rich people are. That’s just how the failed USA works.
We need to see people going to jail for defying subpoenas! Arrest these criminals already!
LOCK THEM UP!!!
50 State Strategy: Keep the House, Capture the Senate and Dunk the Trump.
Chairman Schiff, stay the course. WE THE PEOPLE have your back!🇺🇸🙋♀️🇺🇸
Trumps house of cards is collapsing… he has betrayed the American people
We are finding out that betraying the Americcan People is the way Trump runs EVERYTHING!
LOCK HIM UP!
