Michael McFaul: GOP Arguments 'Kept Falling Off' In Impeachment Inquiry | MTP Daily | MSNBC
Soon their argument will be “Okay. What if we just say that he did it but he’s sorry and wont do it again?”
FBI 302’s modified
We knew this a long time ago…
PAIN

@David Warren oh, no. I’m not saying that he’d actually apologize. I’m saying Nunes would just say that trump is sorry, and leave it at that.
You’ve got more chance of finding Noah’s Ark than Trump saying sorry.
did what illegal?
I’m going with, “The President operates differently. He’s not a politician, he’s a businessman. He didn’t really understand that what he did was wrong.”
Fiona Hill was, by far, the most compelling witness.
I’d say BIll Taylor, Marie Yovanovitch, and Lt Col Vindman were about equally compelling. Hill made only one mistake: saying the Republicans had denied all Russian interference in 2016. It’s true of Trump, and the R’s had minimized it, but that gave them an opening to pick at her accuracy.
@biff binford more fool you.
Ditto totally agree
Lucky Luchiano We speak English in this country. I suggest you learn it.
if you believe bureaucrats run foreign policy, sure.
If there is still not enough evidence for you, youll learn democracy disappears when corrupt elected officials won’t need your vote to stay in power!
@CornPop Dude trivializing corruption has never turned out badly. Cool plan, bro!
CornPop Dude Putin told me you’re a moron.
what evidence?
That’s when we will see what a Coup de tat is.
@CornPop Dude it good to see the table turns 🖐
The Mueller Report contains evidence that can be used to impeach and convict DjT.
Only the Republican Senate and McConnell stand in the way of removing the real and immediate threat to our Republic posed by the resident of the oval office.
Vote in 2020 to remove the enablers of DjT’s nascent dictatorship.
Gaetano Vindigni You sound toxic
@Tajai Calip protect and project lmao
Nope, zero, nothing, nada. The whole Russia thing was a hoax. Now you people would have me believe that Trump fabricated a hoax and spread it to all the intelligence agencies then leaked it to the media? To change an election?
@Tajai Calip He sounds like the truth!!! trump is toxic!!!
”Russia was the foreign power that systematically attacked our democratic institutions in 2016. This is the public conclusion of our intelligence agencies, confirmed in bipartisan congressional reports. It is beyond dispute. … I would ask that you not promote politically driven falsehoods that so clearly promote Russian interests”
“I refuse to be part of an effort to legitimize an alternate narrative that the Ukrainian government is a U.S. adversary, and that Ukraine, not Russia attacked us in 2016. These fictions are harmful even if they are deployed for purely domestic political purposes.”
Dr Fiona Hill
Remember “97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities.” The GOP denies reality for breakfast.
Exact !
We can finally stop any pretence, that the GOP ever care about The Constitution, or that no one is above the law.
@Jonathan Beckham
Look at the link that I posted.
Fake News CNN had to admit the real Russian story that doesn’t fit their narrative. 😀.
@Jonathan Beckham
Who’s fake news now Jonathan? Q or Fake News CNN ?
https://youtu.be/Di4bO1cT0lI
The GOP wants to stack the federal courts with conservatives judges,another minimum one Supreme Court Justice, removal of a women’s right to choose (poor women only), Russia’s interference in the 2020 election.
@Jonathan Beckham https://youtu.be/ZPOOlpjWnFw
It has become so apparent that Trump, over that last three years, has morphed into Putin’s lap dog. He’s so pathetic.
@Gary Lee Your statement is incorrect!! Research!!!
@Mainely LOL you are another useful fool.
@Rene Curry Actually your Lord and Savior only sent blankets not weapons. You are a useful fool. The butt hurt bureaucrat Hill spewed that she was so concerned with Ukraine getting aid but then was forced to admit she wrote and op-ed piece as a member of the leftist Brookings Institute OPPOSING aid to Ukraine for fear it wound further upset the Russians. She also LIED about election meddling by Ukraine to try to dig up dirt on Trump in 2016.
Great point it is like the OJ trial. The GOP will keep him in office even though the facts show Trump broke his oath of office.
Difference being that there will be a vote on the jurors in November.
It was heartbreaking to see a guy like Will Hurd, with his background & who will be retiring, place party above country.
@Sheri If he kills the GOP, then maybe he was a good thing. They’ve been slimy for decades. It’s not a new thing.
No kidding. I thought he was a good Republican in the vein of Flake.
Yeah, that was the last straw for me. It is Pearl Harbor time – with propaganda instead of bombs. Trump, Trump supporters, and the GOP are – wittingly or unwittingly – Russian assets. Choose your side because there is no sitting on the sidelines now.
3LD Hearing that from him was really surprising and almost a 180 from where he began. I’m not a conspiracy guy, but that’s immediately where my mind went. He didn’t look comfortable….Who knows?
It was disgusting, not heartbreaking.
It would mean a whole lot to the country if a Republican senate were to remove this guy for corruption.
It would legitimize the whole thing.
Lol don’t hold your breath
It will NEVER happen.
Get ALL of Trump’s phone calls to other leaders. Today’s version of the Nixon tapes.
@Whirlwind S His son has gotten millions from this deal. Biden and his son are currently under investigation , only time will tell.
@Whirlwind S Biden has some real anger issues, https://www.breitbart.com/2020-election/2019/11/22/joe-biden-lindsey-graham-will-regret-investigating-me-his-whole-life/ not only that, in regard to domestic violence he wants to “keep punching at it” , dude is gone. Ukraine as well is re- opening the investigation, as well, they never closed it but backed off it due to threats from Biden. You might find this of interest as well. Woops, forgot to give the link https://bigleaguepolitics.com/flashback-obama-administration-pressured-ukraine-to-drop-investigation-of-george-soros-group-in-2016/
@Whirlwind S This might be of interest to you as well https://www.cnsnews.com/article/washington/susan-jones/sens-johnson-grassley-request-records-2016-wh-meetings-ukrainian-and By the way, both Bernie and Warren has both stated publicly, they promise to withhold aid from Isreal if they don’t change their stance on Gaza. That is a quid pro quo- exactly what they keep trying to blame Trump for. Just so you know, Hunter biden and partners have received up to 16.5 million , the indictment states this money was laundered from the Ukraine through Burisma.
@Whirlwind S Durhams investigation will prove the Russian hoax was paid for by the Clinton campaign- and he has called in a grand jury.
@Whirlwind S Americans do not want to be part of your united nations run deep state politically correct new world order.
It didn’t need to come to this. A responsible congress would have reigned him in after he admitted to obstruction on national television to Lester Holt. The reason he NEEDS to be removed is because of how things have snowballed since republicans refused to honor their constitutional oaths and conduct oversight
Michael Schwartz How are you saying”they are horrible” and on the same breath you imagine 19 Senators to flip
@Jame Franco I said neither of those things
Well said; this is the reason we have to impeach; Trump has displayed that if you don’t check him he will only get much worse. He did this *the day after* Barr lied him out of the Mueller report.
“I’m not a lawyer, but I do judge highschool debate” LOL
He’s also a well-educated guy who has been involved in government affairs & politics a long time, not an assistant wrestling coach who looked the other way when his students told him they were being sexually molested by the team doctor. Or a rat who hides in the White House bushes so as not yo be seen when divulging confidential information to the other rat inside.
How much dirt do the Russians have on the GOP to let them betray the West. Not just the USA. The GOP betrayed the entire West.
Trump will do anything to help Putin because trump is weak
invisible man they wasted their money on Clinton.
They have naked pictures of Trump.
@toney ingram trump is greedy and scared…his alternate reality is crumbling!!
No betrayal. A Dem meme is all it is. The Ukraine is ranked as the third most corrupt country and Pres. Trump was legitimately concerned. Moreover the Obama administration exporting their crony politics to the Ukraine is damaging to US interests.
Facts were clear from the beginning. Fiona Hill is a hero. Stand out witness to the three amigos.
She’s the kind of lady I could have a real conversation with for sure. Articulate, smart and in control.
One of the first people to get the Steel document? She’s your hero?
I appreciated the way she powerfully delivered her testimony; juxtapose that to the sniveling of the Republicans and all the moreso.
She made Bolton seem like a decent person. He’s really the only hope. We’re depending on a WAR CRIMINAL to save us all. How hilarious is that?
CornPop Dude: you are delusional. Get help, you’re in a cult.
DR FIONA HILL IS MY HERO! DEMS, PUT BOLTON ON THE STAND!!!
They can’t, Bolton will clear Trump and Schiff won’t put up with that.
Fernando Carvalho And Giuliani too.
Hill for POTUS
@CornPop Dude well… I don’t think so. Bolton is feeling towards Trump the same Tillerson is… He wants to bite his head off. Just give him the opportunity.
Honestly, are Republicans listening to the same testimony the rest of the world is?????
The Republicans only listening, no quip pro quo..😁😁
They don’t care sitting up there lying just sad and shameful
They are listening but the cult-like state of mind have blinded their minds from hearing the truth.
Trump been a pint all his life. He never been a gallon.
That’s dumb
Trump should be impeached and the rest should be criminally prosecuted
Katy McDonald Ok Hillary.. 🙄
Perry and Nunes need to resign immediately.
Devil Nunes will go to jail…just wait and see, he’s a crook !
And Jim Jordan…,I really wish someone would punch him in his sarcastic face.
And Jordan needs to stop telling. I guess no one taught him that a soft voice gets more attention. He is a joke.
