Andrew Weissmann, one of the lead prosecutors in the Mueller investigation, joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss the potential “damaging” testimony that could emerge when former White House Counsel Don McGahn testifies privately before Congress and whether that could lead to an obstruction of justice charge against Trump as Manhattan prosecutors subpoena a private school for records in an attempt to flip Trump Organization executive Allen Weisselberg.

About time we get around to Trump’s obstruction of the Mueller Investigation.
@William Mueller how does a person that pleads guilty ? , Not once but twice 😊. Has a case dropped against him.
Begs for Bill Barr to protect him
And has Trump pardon him.
For what ?
O G , should we look up The qanon nut Job , was working with the Russians call general Flynn ?
or should we believe you who just lied again and said that he was exonerated ?
You must be team Powell.
I saw general Flynn after being pardoned by Trump , selling hate and fear on the street , claiming that the American election has been compromised , and you know what he teaches , so what purpose do you have to lie to us ?
@Psyco Geek Simple, the DOJ dropped the charges because he was set up by a crooked FBI. If you had seen the documents released by the DOJ, you would know, but wait, you watch msdnc and they won’t tell you any truth so you look like a fool when faced with reality.
@psycobleach46 tullis Oh my God, hahahahaha You really need to get out more. hahahahaha You’re correct, but guess where the money came from psyco, yeah, hellery. hahahaha msdnc is a waste.
@Drew Fleisner they need a distraction from reality
@William Mueller
Yeah go ahead and make me a fool , I don’t have that much trouble with the truth.
You do.
McGahn’s testimony has been “on hold” for a long time – because the truth will not set some people free… au contraire!
I’m trying to work out how 45 can still try and claim executive privilege when he’s no long an executive. All I can say is, McGahn must have some amazing testimony to give.
The walking, talking tangerine with a caterpillar on his head blocked Don McGahn from testifying before congress because that’s what an innocent tangerine with a caterpillar on his head does.
@Engage360 You’re brainwashed but you don’t know because you’re brainwashed. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
Let’s not forget ‘orange loggo figure, with a blockhead’.
Jealousy is a deadly sin. Get vaccinated # calvary
@Nothin’ but the Blues thank you for making me laugh🎶
@SNOOPY SNOOP COLEMAN #1 guess it’s up to AG Garland now…
If Trump is not imprisoned, America has failed.
@jason brissette Hes far far a better President than inept and evil trump. Blood on your hands.
@Piercey Pridemore I mean someone who doesn’t obsess about politics isn’t going to learn much about a ‘free mind’ from someone who is unable to be at peace with knowing that people do not share their views on every issue.
Chill out mate, be happy 👍
@Dan W Get some shut eye, Danielson. It’s not that serious. We all have our talents….
….I am able to easily spot liars and identify those who have been gravely deceived in their souls; perhaps your talent is playing Expert-level Sudoku or performing dangerous stunts on a uni-cycle🤷♂️
@Dan W Whatever it is, I’m sure you’ll find your way.
@Piercey Pridemore not shut eye time here my man. I’m just starting work. Anyway, have a goodun. And good luck with those talents 😂👍
Let it be known: GOPs is the Party of Flippers!!!! Never vote Red again!
@howard matts not right now…GQP have the market on that, they all look like FISH flip flop flip flop, they change their talking spots from minute to minute, McCarthy, Graham, Hawley, Cruz, Lee, to name just a few
@tubruton 😂
“howard matts”:
⚠️TROLL ALERT⚠️
**IGNORE THIS PROPAGANDIST**
The truth is coming.👀👀👀
Hi, 👋
A reality show with the Stable Genius, Gaetz, and Rudy in prison would be comedy gold.
@The Alpengeist Not sure why you’re lol-ing. Your guy was impeached TWICE in one term and this FACT will be recorded in all future history books for all time. How does that work out for you?

⚠️TROLL ALERT⚠️
**IGNORE THIS PROPAGANDIST**
conjugal visits from sleeveless Marjorie (except for Matt)
@Roy Batty Thanks.
@The Alpengeist He was impeached fool..just not removed..Dam the mind is a terrible thing to waste….
The CDC has updated their advice that some people don’t have to wear a mask! But parents still need to keep their daughters at least six feet from Matt Gaetz.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America
A devastating letter written by Arizona Senate President Karen Fann on voting irregularities, and probably fraud, in Maricopa County during the 2020 Presidential Election. Even the database was illegally deleted after the subpoena to produce the information.
Senate President Fann has invited Maricopa County officials to a public hearing on May 18 to allow them the opportunity to try to explain what happened to the missing databases, ballots, and other significant issues.
The Fake News and Lamestream Media is doing everything they can not to cover this major story. They just refuse to talk or report about it. They don’t want the United States or World to see what is going on with our corrupt, third world.
Matt Gaetz 👯
@Engage360 Q 🤥 🤦
So funny, like your sense of humor. For real
@Engage360
And I suppose you know about this from Newsmax? Hahahahaha, Jesus do you really think it’s a good idea to prove to EVERYONE you’re brainwashed?
Matt Gaetz is 100% going to plead the fifth – HE IS GOING TO CANCEL HIMSELF !!!!!!!
@Colin Mahoney 👍

@Engage360 Q 🤥🤦
We can only hope.
The single “thumbs down” you see is actually from Trump who tried to click it over 11,000 times!
“I just want to find 11,780 down votes.”
I just want you to find me 11,000…..
This has some resemblance to justice, could it be? Haven’t seen that for a while. America’s back baby!
@Oscar Moreno sorry oscar, I’m too busy laughing at you.
@William Mueller lame.
@Funny Guy I like that. 👍
Nope. Whilst the GOP keep pushing trump narrative to keep trumpers in their corner America will never be what it was pre trump, good and bad asides.
@Gregory UK oh, I don’t know about that. This has always been America, Trump just coaxed these people out. This wasn’t spontaneous, these people were already here, Trump just emboldened them. They had a president who was one of them and they felt they were finally justified in their ways. They will always be here, and abroad too. That’s how I see it.
Gaetz will hopefully be behind bars for his human trafficking crimes soon enough.
IF ONLY YOU COULD GET ACTUAL PROOF!
@Debra Deroos Not without real proof……
@greg hill Not gonna happen without an actual victim that can prove these charges.
@Drake Fire i have a feeling Gaetz wasn’t lying when he said that his family is being blackmailed to pay money to squash this story, except for the fact that the people blackmailing him for $ is likely to be of a Russian descent who set him up with maybe a few of the girls that work and were planted into that real trafficking crime he was committing but I think that Gaetz is being made as an example of how other Repug’s in Congress’s life can turn sour on a dime, so they better fall in line, said Putin…Pulling an Epstein blackmailing scheme, how he provided young minors out to his island, and w/o wealthy mens knowledge he recorded them with the young girls as his way of making anyone do or give him anything he asked of them…Something tells me Putin took care of Epstein on Trumps behalf too!! oh what a tangled web we weave, if at first you don’t concede…
@MarQuicha Hall Love the originality.
Oh Donny Boy, the jail, the jail is calling.
hahaha I’m gonna sing that!!
Florida waters are clearing up for Matt Gaetz and Trump to be in a Orange Suit.
Never happen…The truth is coming…
Eyes roll
@The world will See everything Yawwwwnnnnn 🥱
He just said “dont hold your breath”
Hi👋
Don Mc Gahn STAY STRONG! We truly need your honesty! You can change the nation with your honesty. Please, just be HONEST. That is all the American people ask. Please stay strong and be truthful.
The fact that it will all happen behind closed doors .. without the American public allowed to even know what is said .. tells you everything you need to know. Brace for impact. Disappointment headed directly our way.
Trump & Gaetz can share a cell . I can’t think of 2 guys who will look better in orange.
Throw in McConnell, Jordan, Greene, Graham… it’s starting to get crowded.
We simply need to get to the truth. There have been too many lies.
The truth is coming…enjoy the show…👀
@William Mueller so far they found nothing because there was never anything to find. Just really stupid people believe that Arizona has a case.
@William Mueller have heard about the Hungarian vector?
@TheHugeDwarf look into the emergency meeting called by the Maricopa BOS yesterday at 4pm. Look into the letter written by Karen Fann for the 18th. msdnc tells you nothing. They just try to distract you with nothing burgers about Trump because you hate.
The election in AZ was already re counted 2xs by professional, bi partisan election experts. Maybe FOX didn’t tell you that.
The crap going on there now is an effort to make Americans doubt elections– one step towards authoritarian rule. Please THINK. Geezee
Until Justice finds its balls to go after tRUMP, he will only become a bigger menace~
So tired hearing about the allegations against Trump and Gaetz. I want to hear and see them prosecuted.
Liz Cheney is laughing inside, her two favorite men are bitting their nails 😂
Still remember Trump laughing with the Russians saying and laughing “I just fired him”
