All the IPOTUS’* Men…
*Impeached President Of The United States
@Vote him Out your hate for your enemy doesn’t do nothing but hurt you more.
@Vote him Out Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
@Vote him Out dems are literally empowerimg him more and giving him more free airtime for 2020
@John Freeman Ignorance is bliss for one eyed trumpters…
@John Freeman Go post on Fox board where the vicious hateful Trump cult resides.
God, I hope this all doesn’t get swept under the rug immediately.
@Kevin NYC
Just dredging Hells Gate again …Nothing to see here.
How are republicans going to defend this
iamiix2 future
Look over there at that shiny thing.
Just like everything else. They’ll call it fake news. Or say Parnas is just trying to buy his way out of prison.
They get FREE MAGA HATS!
Trump will be like “Who’s Lev parnas?” And then the Republicans will be like “……” and his supporter base will be like ” but .. but … but Biden money corruption Ukraine Do nothing demo-MAAAGAAAA”
Nothing’s gonna change anything on the corrupt GOPs stand
@SpectroMan you left out “but her Emails!”
THE WHOLE INTERVIEW PLEASE
@Gudda Riley people capture the broadcast on their PC and upload it. These channels usually get shut down after a few days or weeks but it definitely happens
@CShield thank you!!
@Ohnoitsthatguy You’re very welcome. I noticed someone else had shared it, so I snagged it. 👍
@Jim Myers All their interviews are like a fkng Waldorf salad these days.Really annoying.You’d think with something big like this that they would make an exception.
@Ohnoitsthatguy i am in Europe and know they shut them down super fast now. Yeah they are often difficult to watch because they edit to keep their cover but it is still worth seeing an interview like this.
At this point, they should just wrap the entire White House in yellow police tape, and declare the whole thing a crime scene.
All of DC
@Bigfoot no actually. It’s a major city and mostly working stiffs. I used to have go there. Only part is the Federal Enclave. The rest of the District was set adrift. They tried to give it to Maryland but they didn’t want it.
@Quiet Entropy It’s called sarcasm.
hahah nice David.
The Great Fall! Karma is coming with thunderous fury
Been saying that for years.. I’m sure not a thing will happen, yet again..
I hope so.
This Rachel Maddow interview with Parnas was like listening to the Nixon tapes. And just like the Nixon tapes, it’s worse than we ever imagined. Tomorrow is going to be bonkers. Oh, and can someone do a wellness/welfare check on Devin Nunes. 😂😄😃
David J his cow is not very happy
It is hopping mad
🐄
And get his gun away from him, he is going to eat a bullet for lunch
@Amy Buchanan 😂
When you’ve lived through McCarthy commie witchhunt, Nixon’s treason & Watergate, Reagans systemactic trickle down destruction of the middle class.
The Bushes 2 Fake wars, GWs complicity in the 9/11 murder of 3000 Americans, Cheney’s theft of
$1.7 billion from US military in Iraq. Plus their war crimes .. It’s bit difficult to act surprised knowing Trump always wanted to be just like Gotti.
so, originally this guy was presented in the media as a shady, almost comical character. Now he seems pretty reasonable. These explanations make more sense than anything else we’ve heard.
He is coming clean
@Marie Light He’s not saying anything that hasn’t been reported on already. At this point, who cares what he has to say, he’s just trying establish life insurance. People want to hear from Bolton, Giuliani and that Hyde thug.
Amen. Watching these videos I’m having the exact same thoughts.
He’s a part of a crime syndicate. And every crime Mob boss was brought down by the testimony of a mobster that works for him. Do you remember sammy the bull?
Lev Parnes is doing the smart thing. He’s following the old street criminal code. Survive, Sing like a canary, keep from being “Epsteined”
We have one giant or Donnie’s word…”Huge” R.I.C.O. Republican administration in the White House.
Pence is as slimy, crooked and creepy as they come.
@Jeff Sida
These “Christians”, are largely two faces-
By day, the picture of graces,
but, later that night,
with a cross to ignite,
they don hoods, and they’re off to the races.
Rodney Boehner, this guy has documentation to support what he’s saying and it aligns with other testimony given to Congress. On the other hand, you are simply regurgitating opinions you’ve heard that have no basis in fact. Close your eyes to the truth if you want, but don’t expect to convince anyone.
@Tseleng Botlhole Parnas has more life in his eyes LOL
jesus freaks are always some one who is a kinda scary nutjob that has not been caught yet
State Dept. docs expose Biden-Ukraine corruption https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-eglEywvww&list=PL4coKAtQeVHsvgIQkNRwGb11DSQyzZ99n&index=10
Devin thought he could just dip off. He hasn’t been in the media since they outed him.
@catalinacurio yeah I see them both holding each other crying like 2 big baby’s 😢
@Dolli Melaine i see them both holding each other and crying like babys 😢
Remember when he jumped out of an Uber while riding with a journalist to go have a secret midnight meeting at the white house?
Please tell me what “dip off” means, never heard that before
come on Devin……keep making a Fool of yourself. your so laughable.
Sooo will trump be sticking to his “I don’t know him” story?
Pence was picked by Manafort/Kremlin to the VP position.
Well, I think Democrats can play this interview at the trial, even if they don’t get witnesses. It’s pretty good testimony.
That’s how they should give their opening statements so that they official records..
Blink Once on Sunday! Of nothing new
@Lil Doggy Of course it’s nothing new. Because dozens of witnesses are all saying the same thing. Trump is guilty as sin! A witness who testifies under oath that Trump didn’t do it would be new. I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
Trump: “I don’t know Mike Pence. I’ve heard of him – a really good man I believe – but, no! I don’t know Mike Pence.”
behappy Lol you guys have put a gangster in the White House ! He’s the most obvious corrupt president in my entire life !😂🤣
I have a picture with Pence because I take thousands and thousands of pictures with people. I have a picture with you.
behappy … Does anyone know Mike Pence or William Barr
@Denyze True? Maybe they’re blow up dolls!
Devin Nunes chilling underground in some bunker somewhere, clutching his rifle and calling his lawyers and instructing them who he wants to sue next😂😂😂
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿😂🤣😂🤣😂
I doubt chilling. More like crying in a corner wetting his pants. He should have been tossed out a long time ago.
He actually went on Fox. Maybe the same thing.
The man sued a fictional cow.
This is what Repubs are really afraid of; when both Trump and Pence go down we will have President Pelosi.
Lol
This guy sounds a lot smarter than he looks. He definitely is not overstating things, he is not grandstanding, and, admits when he does not know something, it all sounds credible to me, especially when you dovetail it with the other witnesses who testified under sworn oath.
Lev Parnas is a personable man, compared to Donald Trump!
Both criminals but true
The whole administration needs to be purged
stupid comment…must be a typical MSNBC believer..eh?
@John Tatum Ignorant one eyed trumpster, wake up to yourself…
I love it!
Parnas speaks in English better than Trump!
