    1. @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…….

  1. The applause for this brave classy woman warmed my heart.💓 I hope Schiff takes trump to task for his witness tampering today!😡

  2. “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.)

    1. @Andre Suston So it was perfectly fine for him to ignore a subpoenas but not anyone from the Trump Administration.

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

    1. @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!

    1. 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.

    2. 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!

    1. 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.

    2. 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!

  5. The Russian asset (Trump), has to be held responsible! Trump is the only president we know who got elected with the help of Russia!

    1. @Mikael Holmgren Then what would you call the people who deny the fact that Donald Trump, is their President?

    1. 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_

  6. *America is past fed up. Trump can not remain president as he is an embarrassment, extortionist & witness intimidator*

    1. 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.
