Lev Parnas: 'Trumpworld Is Like A Cult, And A Lot Of These Senators Are In The Cult' | MSNBC
Parnes and the direct eye contact when he invited his criminal cronies to testify. Do It Cowards!
@Kevin NYC so talking around the phone call. Excusing the fact that no one knows what the phone call entails, not even the people defending the president. Hmmm i think people get fired for less evidence and put behind bars for less evidence. But it’s the Republican president with the Republican Senate working together. Hand in hand as it was put. That in itself goes against the constitution. I guess only little people pay the price for tampering with evidence….such as hiding a phone call…..
@J J What are you saying? Who got put behind bars for what? Im not following you.
@J J fired for what? put behind bars for what? that is the bit I am not following. if no one knows what the call entails, what are we talking about? please explain yourself.
@Kevin NYC if an average person hid evidence that a court knew existed they would be thrown in jail. If a company knew of evidence a person was doing quid pro quo existed and the person hid it. They would fire that person. Instantly. You stated “everyone agrees about the call”. No, not even Trump or Trump’s own team can agree on a phone call. Trump hid the phone call and real transcript. Now Trump is threatening people he works with and has in the past. How is this not Impeachment material? Trump hid a phone call and transcripts. Instead he gave a memo of his best part of the call as evidence. Its obstruction and actually evidence tampering. If he and his defense can’t even agree on the severity of the call, then Trump was impeached correctly. It wasn’t a “witch hunt” he wasn’t treated like “jesus” or anything else he and the Senate have tried to spin. The entire Senate should be investigated at this point for stating they were hand in hand with the president and white house during this trial.
Per Lindsey Graham in Clinton’s impeachment trial “Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing and restoring honor and integrity to the office.” So please explain to me how Trump by obstructing and tampering with evidence and now threatening and hindering witnesses has restored honesty and integrity to his office. As a Republican Senator Graham has stated in the last impeachment of a president. Coincidentally the same senator Graham stating that he/his senate will work hand and hand with the president during his trial. Again the entire Senate as well as the President need to be investigated further to see how deep the corruption runs and exactly how many people are involved in the illegal or immoral activities. Lindsey Graham opened that door.
@J J What do you mean hiding a phone call? Like I said the President could have claimed privilege over the call and he would have been right to do so. He weakened the office in my opinion. No one has ever done so and it is a bad precedent. So you are criminalizing something that the President has the power to do. We are going down a very dangerous road here. I agree we need further investigations. You still haven’t presented any evidence of wrong doing however.
It doesn’t matter who testifies, GOP will still acquit Trump because they are afraid of big money. Citizens United has created a monster that is GOP.
You mean MOBSTER don’t you !?😶
@blaidencortel They also fear the power of corporate America who support them.
here is what is wrong with everything you just said https://youtu.be/tCO3nW3cnHM
They’re a bunch of greedy traitors who embrace and love big money and don’t want to lose it.
We have been taken over by a corrupt cult. Wow and the Republican Senators are the high priests of Trumpism.
Pacific Philippi … and they lie to cover their lies in order to cover Trump’s lies … etc
There are no heroes in Trump world but there are a couple of souls seeking redemption…
There are no heroes in “Democrat World” it’s full of liars, traitors, communists and baby killers.
Still winning. TRUMP 2020!
@Mrs G Hey, thats politricks
@Mrs G Spoken like a true Trump cult follower
Exactly why they need to get the bully Orange buffoon and the ring of crooks out of the white house
Vic Martinez qu

@KB B yep you said it..AND so true.
Errol
trump is Stupid we’re lucky he’s not smart!
@Paul Downie – He’s incoherent to us. His base understands him. They should hire themselves out as translators … in gibber jabber.
NOW THAT…that is IS funny…Errol 0007. And its true. sad. Errol is right. EVEN Lev Parnas speaks better than Trump. he sounds more coherent.
Did he just imply that the GOP Senators have *_’consciences?’_* Silly, silly man.
…he may have been referencing the voters of the U. S. in 2020……
Exactly right saying Trump’s people are like a cult👏👏👏👏
He picks up the buzz words quick and you guys repeat it like good little media zombies.
@bob Bunni won’t be too long now before Humpty Dumpty is thrown out of the White House
@brian hutchinson in your delusional world
Who’s in the Biden Cult? https://youtu.be/tCO3nW3cnHM we all want to know
I’ve been saying Trump is a cult leader for the past three years.
The Republicans have betrayed the United States of America for Russia
They are guilty of sedition according to US law.
@Christopher Hyndman I agree. But, who’s going to enforce it?
Jason Graves- As a spectator on the outside looking in, the world sees a slow steady decline of American Democracy. Never thought I would see this happen in life time but it’s happening right before yours and my eyes.
DON’T FORGET TRUMPY
Republicans breaking ranks with the President? To quote Morgan Freeman in the Shawshank Redemption “You Have To Be Human First. They Don’t Qualify”.
About time someone said this. That makes all of his followers cult worshippers. You too Pence!!!
This latest attempt at ME peace while trying to annihilate the minority!! Wow that sounds familiar.
@Rod 17000 and counting.
YES! We are the cult of TRUTH https://youtu.be/tCO3nW3cnHM sorry if that offends you snowflake, game over. WWG1WGA
Please let’s not think Pence is an innocent victim of a cult. Manager of cult is closer.
@Casey Carson I totally agree. He was in on everything too. They got them a freaking cult!!!
“I welcome them all to come and testify under oath…and definitely attorney Bill Barr…”
That’s not who we were thinking; Rudy has the list https://youtu.be/tCO3nW3cnHM
Call me CRAZY . But i trust the Admitted Criminal more than i would EVER.EVER trust conman trump and his orange ball lickers.of supporters Till the earth is no more….and that is a sad. Statement for any person to admit..VOTEALLREPUBLICIANSOUTOFOFFICE IN 2020…our very lives and our kids lives are at stake.
Teresa Platt I don’t call you crazy….you’re just plain stupid. How many bs “bombshells” from CNN/MSNBC are you going to fall for? It’s been 3 years and you haven’t caught on. smh
@Rod Lavrs for PRESIDENT. 😊🥰
LOL that’s a challenge to The Reptilian party, Trump and his Goons hiding behind their army of attorneys.
this is a challenge to the democrat party https://youtu.be/tCO3nW3cnHM
@MrSmokelife reminds me of when Trump and Rudy were transgender and Trump was motorboating Giuliani LOL
the democrats interpret the law etc but the Presidents team has no testimony in writing or on tape. They are not reporting they are inventing as they go. Like right now saying he committed bribery or treason. That is not what they are claiming. He abused his power, but seriously he would threaten to get money or a deal. But in this case investigating Biden and implicating Hillary is worth more to him than anything for two reasons; in his mind. He wants to blame Ukraine because of Putin. He wants to malign Obama Biden and Hillary in ANY WAY HE CAN.
@Ivanka speads for Quincy Jones what do you mean? I though they both lost their balls in Vietnam 😂 😂
Maybe the next president won’t be a lying traitor.
Fingers crossed.
@Craig Eugene I used to think people like you were Russian trolls but now think you’re corporate America plants afraid of Bernie.
You just took out all the Democratic nominees!
Wishful thinking gets you nowhere.
maybe the last president was https://youtu.be/tCO3nW3cnHM
The republicans and trump will go in history as the greatest traitors of this nation!!!
Orlando Polan
If Trump was living in North Korea he would be facing the firing squad.
Perhaps they should implement the firing squad here for these TRATIORS
Evan Herrera ..Yessss ..please🙏🙏🙏
GOP= GOVERNMENT OF PUTIN
Parnas has more cred and more believable than tRump and his corrupt comrades in the GOP.
Rod He’s only indicted because of his dealings with Rudy and trump,
Try and keep up👍🏾
@Unanimous nooooo… your wrong…that is false… wow
here is the textbook definition of corruption https://youtu.be/tCO3nW3cnHM
Revolution is the last answer to a felony president and criminal senate!!
Interesting. I heard someone suggest something similar would happen if Trump is removed. I guess years of work have paid off and, at this stage, Uncle Vlad can’t lose. RIP USA 😢 😢 😢
Boy…. this guy sounds like he knows an awful lot of people that don’t know him at all.
