Michael McFaul On Yovanovitch's Removal: She Was Getting In The Way Of 'The Drug Deal,' | MSNBC
She’s a freakin’ hero!
@Ichabod Crane another sad trump troll in the house. watch where you step, all!
@VideoEtTaceo I’m elated at how strong the economy is. I’m very proud of my president. You seem like the one thats sad. Watch a Trump rally and see if you see anyone sad there…….
Ichabod Crane lol what economy ? U inbreds still havent moved from your trailer trash 🤣
David Lee AMBASSADOR Yonovich has more American Patriotism than TRUMP has in his Comb OVER
Trump thought since she was a female she was weak and 😨. Lady’s take note.
Women in this world don’t have the luxury to be weak. Strength is what we do.
The applause for this brave classy woman warmed my heart.💓 I hope Schiff takes trump to task for his witness tampering today!😡
Witness tampering is against US law. Just add it to the list that we impeach him for
Is that you hunter
Witness intimidation is an impeachable act, dimwit can’t stay off Twitter so just add another act to the list
Sad to say it but it’s time. My president is a goner. It’s very clear.
She’s a gutsy woman and I thank her for coming forward
“Shut up about the hearsay if you’re blocking all the witnesses!”
–ex-Senator Claire McCaskill
(an innocent man does not ignore Congressional subpeonas requesting documents and witnesses.)

Then why did Eric Holder, ignore his?
@Time 2hitthegym Now go tell that to Eric Holder, because he ignored his.
@Timothy Kozlowski let’s stay in the present.
@Andre Suston So it was perfectly fine for him to ignore a subpoenas but not anyone from the Trump Administration.
Send her back! send her back! Send her back to Ukraine as Ambassador and send Trump back to civilian life or so we can prosecute him for his crimes!
Good one Gary Thompson.
Dimwitted GOP sure wants to hear from the whistleblower badly, even after whining about all the testimony being hearsay, because they’ve blocked all the witness with first hand knowledge.
And how many witnesses did Adam Schiff block? I think they call that a double standard.
@Morio Murase Being that there’s nothing like 3rd hand hearsay.
Guilliani needs to be brought in. Period.
@Jim Alley geezus-my thoughts exactly. Hod help us VOTE in 2020 (btw-im a Republican)
He can’t control that mouth of his. He’d have himself, Trump, Don Jr., etc. in the slammer.
@Frank Winkhorst what spine
It is time for the Republicans to smell their fingers…….
Lol sniff sniff
@three monkeys OMG! I’m laughing so hard I’m crying. Wow! Thank you for lightening the mood.
Ha!
Rudy Giuliani watching Roger Stone getting convicted of all his counts…
Rudy’s next.
Trumps mind WASN’T poisoned … Trumps mind IS POISON.
WHAT MIND?
Yoyanovich was removed, because she was a Clinton operative who undermined Trump, while covering for Biden.
David Lafleche Great job covering the fake Republican talking points…such a good little boot licker
@Kevin McAnally All the accusations against Trump are false. “Thou shalt not bear false witness” (9th Commandment). You are a liar, and you shall answer to the Lord Jesus Christ on Judgment Day (Revelation 21:8, KJV). Even so, come, Lord Jesus! Establish the Kingdom in Jerusalem, and keep the world safe from Democracy!
I tell my daughter that a lady she need to look up to
Beautiful Brown you just showed what kind of person you are a person that needs peace more than a child that grew up in war… people like you are a step away from disaster and for that ill pray for you.
@b spoon Beautiful Brown’s brain and channel share something in common. NO CONTENT.
So she can grow up to be un-married, childless and a disgruntled employee.
No you all… Hopefully she can grow up and be a woman that speaks up for what is right….Lord knows we can use more of that these days….some of people’s comments are so disgusting and degrading….Best of luck to you little lady Tong…and your Mommy and Daddy too…I mean that!
Trump don’t like USA may we can help him move to Russia
Chant yep just like the corrupt ousted former president of Ukraine.
tRump needs to be executed.
Exactly. This is not a quid pro quo. It is a bribery, extortion or could be better described as a drug deal.
It’s bribery. There are some weird elements to it, but when you boil it down, Trump was wielding his position of national power to extract a personal benefit, which is straight-up bribery. It’s like if a cop won’t do his job unless you bribe him, or a local official takes a bribe to process your zoning application. Trump had the power to release Ukraine’s military aid, and he sat on it until Ukraine’s president promised to do things that benefited Trump personally.
no matter if you are republican, democrat, independent, or whatever….. one should ask themselves, “do we want a president of our country to be such a liar!
What a brave and good lady. Trump is a zero and she is a hero.
@billy Red Mug
DEATH BY TREASON.
Even if impeachment was to fail he will eventually be put in jail. There are many court cases pending.
Evil has never erradicated the just, the truth always comes out, always!
The Russian asset (Trump), has to be held responsible! Trump is the only president we know who got elected with the help of Russia!
And you do dream very delusional dreams.
@Timothy Kozlowski denial of facts is delusion! Read the Mueller report!!
Mikael Holmgren He doesn’t need to read it cuz Trump already programmed his “brain”
@Mikael Holmgren I did and I didn’t see anything that he could be impeached with.
@Mikael Holmgren Then what would you call the people who deny the fact that Donald Trump, is their President?
He wanted to help Russia. Everything he does is to help putin. Watch Rachael maddow.
because Trump is being used by Russia as a funnel for Russian money into the USA!!!
Still almost no one on TV has caught on to what Rachel was saying _weeks ago_ re: the ways in which this whole Ukraine scheme is not just for Trump’s political gain, but almost certainly designed to get Putin’s main goals in getting Trump elected finally accomplished, which is _SANCTIONS RELIEF_ (and it was confirmed last night, on her show and others, that this whole Ukrainian 2016 election-meddling conspiracy theory was of course cooked up by Putin and passed on through Russian Intelligence to Manafort, who passed it to Giuliani).
If Trump can not just bury Biden with a phony Investigation in the election, but prove somehow that Russia _did not_ interfere in our elections, _and coerce the new Ukrainian president to settle a peace deal with Putin,_ then the Russian sanctions for meddling in our election and sanctions for invading Ukraine could be lifted (and, ostensibly, Trump could finally have his Trump Tower Moscow after he’s out of office!)
_IMPEACH – INDICT – IMPRISON 2020_
Yep
Benedict Donald and his Gang of Clown Traitors are Going to Jail.
I hope they include those traitors in the senate like Moscow Mitch.
They are All going to jail.
Benedict Donald. Brilliant.
*America is past fed up. Trump can not remain president as he is an embarrassment, extortionist & witness intimidator*
A Queen Stands Alone You’re so right. The Republican Party doesn’t seem to understand we’re watching all of this. They are going to be punished for this in 2020.
Donald Trump is so corrupt he needs to be impeached and taken out of office ASAP
He needs to croak. MAGA
