Legal Bombshell: DOJ Investigating 'Bribery-For-Pardon' Scheme | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
This is one of those where you’ll hear Donald say he knows nothing about it. Never met the guy.
@Tblast Donald Trump: _”Donald Trump? I hardly know the guy. I think he made coffee once.”_
LOL !!!! 🤣😂😭
ohyes
ohhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
Esp if its Ivanka…
Get so sick of him saying “never met him”
Rudy: *begins sweating in black ink*
Barr: *stutters in mayonnaise*
Jared: *flys in flames*
When all this done president Biden should pressure wash the White House!!!! I’ll volunteer for free! Drain the swamp!
Pence: Pence slips on a banana ends up in an alley in Mexico and mommy won’t believe the not brokeback excuse.
Oh no you di-en🤭🤤😂
This is poetry dude…
or dudette 👏👏👏👏
Lol… flys in flames… I don’t know what that means but it sure cracked me up 😂👍
So is this the reason why Giuliani has been asking for a preemptive presidential pardon for himself? Because he is the attorney involved in this bribery scheme?
Yes. He’s pretty much been his only lawyer for the last year. It could also be to pardon him for the seditious activities he’s waged to undermine our elections w/o any proof of fraud.
There’s nothing new about bribery with this administration…but the frequency is astonishing…wow…smh 🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️
Trump is CORRUPT to the core!!!!!!
@Caroline M. I, I, I can’t wait ! 😉
@Davey McDonald he forgets his slogan “drain the swamp”
ohyes
ohhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
@dana Priess he will I believe this time he will pay.
There are more criminals in the White House than the State Prison !
You are right on the MONEY. What with the Current & now Fired President (aka CON MAN-IN-CHIEF) walking the “criminal” talk the rest of the cult are full of their dirty tricks while the going is GOOD. Hope all the criminals are brought to justice
….lets add to those state prison numbers in 2021!!!!
Yes, and Trump is the leader. He tried to bribe the Ukraine President Zelinsky as we know; and there were several first-hand witnesses to that. He “squeaked” through, and got away with it mostly because of corruption and 99 percent of the GOP Congress too scared of him to stand up for the truth.
@Sloth Finn Hopefully to end this INSANITY!!!
At least prisons are snake free
Sounds like Ghouliani trying to raise funds for xpotus knowing he’ll get pardoned when he’s caught
ohyes
ohhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
Ugh. This is just such a Trump type thing.
Gohyes
ohhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
Yes what else can it be
Trump has a habit of getting out of things so even if Trump is involved I would guess he would try 2 throw everybody under the bus.
If a corrupt lawyer is involved it has to be Giuliani.
@Anonymous Person Trump: I’ve got this f*cking power it’s golden, why would I give it away for free? This is exactly how psychopaths like Trump think. Trump’s future is behind bars. I’m sure he’ll be happy to get visits from you or anyone who’s still interested in seeing him in the big house.
@Anonymous Person look at this dude trying to ignore evidence
@Projectheureka the kkk and the nazi party are democrat institutions.
Giuliani is the guy that put the mafia in prison. Not just some of them all of them. So you are twisted and wrong.
@Bliss And Wellbeing you are listening to psychopaths tell you he’s a psychopath.
@Sabrina R BARR HAS BEEN PRETTY MUCH MIA FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS. FINALLY FIGURING OUT HE CANT PROTECT THIS DIRTY DIAPER PRESIDENT ANY LONGER. I DONT SEE BARR GETTING FIRED AFTER HIS SPEECH TODAY BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHERE ARE TRUMP’S BODIES ARE BURIED. DIAPER DON IN FOR IT NOW. I CAN ALREADY HEAR THE BAR OF SOAP HITTING THE FLOOR!!! BYE BYE DONNY!! SAY HELLO TO BUBBA OR JOSE!! LOL
“NO COMMENT from the WHITE HOUSE”————uh oh……….LOL
@Sheldon Walz too busy deciphering why u trumpites can’t get over sitting alone at the lunch table back in grade school. Let it go. Come back to Earth. We’ll embrace ya!
@William Perdue lol explain to the world how Trump won 18 out of 19 Bellwether counties and the 3 Bellwether states. That should be easy for an intellectual giant like yourself I await your spin
@Sheldon Walz You only know the term “spin” because of your King… You’re better than that, Sheldon.
@William Perdue you never answered the question
@Sheldon Walz not supposed to feed the ducks.
This is prob why Barr came out and said “no election fraud”… he’s trying to distance himself.
Barr: “I never knew the guy. I heard he was a disgruntled president. I never met him”
😂😂😂😂
Kohyes

I’m waiting for the handcuffs. Then maybe I’ll believe in the justice system.
Exactly.
Personally I think Biden is being Too Soft.
Guarantee if it was the other way around Trump wouldn’t hesitate.
Biden needs to make a Example.
The handcuffs have been misplaced or they’ve run out of them from grabbing people off the streets
@Todd Toure I believe he already spoke on this, and he’s leaving this issue in the hands of his new AG. Some are hoping he’ll appoint Hillary. lol
Wonder if lindsey graham requested a pardon for telling the Georgia governor to literally throw Away valid votes in an effort to get a trump win.
What could Trump possibly have on Lindsey Graham? 😳
Be looking at Trump’s family, and all his wealthy buddies.
Gullianni, Stone etc. No limit of the crooks to look at.
White buffalo.i hope trumpee and all his family end up in jail . including all the crooks he had in his cabinet . God bless america .
The Trump Tribe is a bunch of ugly, self-absorbed goons without conscience who put on the pretence that what they are doing matters and is so important. Nothing they have done matters for the good of anyone but themselves.
Somebody high up finally pushed the “BURN” button on Trump.
I can almost smell the bacon….
Exactly lol

Nothing will happen, it’s just business as usual.
I’ll lay odds that the lawyer is Giuliani. Selling presidential pardons fits his profile to a T.
Brilliant
Agree.
I’d check out Elliot Broidy’s lawyers with connections to the WH. And the lawyer is not the target. Self seving bogus presidential pardons, in general, is the target. This is prep work, laying precedents, for federal cases against Ivanka, Jared, Barr, et al, after Trump pardons them.
Your on! I’ll take a piece of that action jack cause what you said is a effing fact.
Vohyes
ohhttps://youtu.be/0AcMp9JJ8q0
The Hoax ‘President’ needs to stuff his pockets so he can pay for all of the legal representation he is going to need for the rest of his sad life.
Could this administration be any more corrupt.
Yes
Stay tuned and find out.
oh please don’t test them to raise that bar again! lol
Trump: Challenge accepted.
How can D.T. “drain the swamp?”
Pohyes

“We Don’t care what CRIMES Trump has committed”————-Most heard phrase at a TRUMP CULT MEETING…
The only person we all know is needing funds is the leader of the pack..
