Fox New’s Tucker Carlson is condemning Trump’s call with Ukraine saying “there’s no way to spin this as a good idea,” but Carlson argues Trump’s call does not rise to the “level of an impeachable offense.” MSNBC’s Ari Melber unpacks how the Constitution defines impeachable offenses, and why Congress should focus on proving if Trump ‘committed the high crime of abusing his office’ not their ‘opinions on the president in general.’ Aired on 10/4/19.

MSNBC's Ari Melber: Does Tucker Carlson Have A Point On Impeachment?
Lots of smoke and abracadabra to be expected from the Trumpsters on the panel !
Each term lasts only a four years.
Just wait for your turn.
Maga.
@Jesse Make America Gullible Again … If your Orange Avenger has his way, he will stretch it out like Xi Jinping did in China. A dictator is a Dictator, and Trump has already said he liked that idea publicly … ” maybe we should give that a shot, someday ” ~ March/2018 – don’t be so trusting.
This whole thing is becoming like a day-time soap opera. Terrible acting, but lots of action.
THIS LITERAL COUP-EFFORT BY TRAITORS, SEDITIONISTS, COMMUNISTS, AND SUBVERSIVES, IS ABOUT TO BE PUT-DOWN BY THE US MARINES AND US MARSHALS-SERVICE; EVERYONE, AND ANYONE, ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LITERAL COUP-ATTEMPT/ATTEMPT-TO-OVERTHROW-THE-DULY-ELECTED-GOVERNMENT-OF-THIS-NATION, WILL BE MASS-ARRESTED, AND THEY WILL, ALL, BE FACING MILITARY-TRIBUNALS.
NOTHING can stop this.
Especially fox news hosts Hannity, Ingraham and Carlson are really bad B actors.
I think Carlson is impeachable 😁
Why would anybody bother going after a third-rate hack ? – Tucker can only sway the opinion of a few fence-sitters who are unsure about what’s going on. – The real problem is all the Trump supporters who were never listening in the first place.
Impeachment is for elected and Senate confirmed government workers. Fox should be sued for putting Tucker (Hannity, Ingraham, and Dobbs) on a news channel without clearly labeling them as mean spirited and mostly nonfactual entertainment.
Tucker, “,,there’s no way to spin this as a good idea.”
And that’s from the expert at spinning completely utter bullsh*t.
@P McGill
I can tell by your post, you’re in serious need of dental work.
And it is still a crime, like violating the amalluments claws, Hatch act, campaign finance laws and so on…(even I know that as a German, Com on murica impeach the 🍊)
@Freewheelin’ Franklin dental work? You saw his teeth?
Tucker has such a whiny voice.
But nobody has a more annoying voice than Ben Shapiro.
and even more punchable face
the rewarding & fulfilling life of a barren widow should please the inner chakras, while also negating any violent outbursts
What’s that saying again?
Collude on me once, shame on me. Collude on me twice, you’re going to jail, motherf—er.
It’s illegal to have a foreign country to interfere in our election. (FACT) and he continues to do it in plain sight.
Bit like the DNC and hillary colluding with foreign powers for the Russia collusion delusion
@jonrotten31 Very true, but Hillary is not America’s President, and Trump is … stop with the Hillary Distaction, – it’s not working, anymore.
@Bob Bart Obama was and he was up to his neck in it.
Let’s grow “It’s illegal to have a foreign country to interfere in our election”… “except when we do it, then we can use a foreign intelligence agents dossier(steele) to start spying on our opponent(trump) through fisa applications.” You guys are either ignorant, liars, or hypocrites…
It scares my what he has to do for the GOP to determine the behavior is impeachable? Will we still be living in a democratic republic???
“If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…….and we will deserve it.” -Lindsey Graham, may 3, 2016
Looks like Nostradumbass was right! 👍
Suzy Q ❤️❤️👏👏😂😂👍👍
yeah he was talking about losing to hillary, and he was as wrong about that as you are about this
Cameron Moore 👈👈🤪🤪💩💩💩
@Fairy Tale
just sad
Bravo! Using Tucker Carlson as click bait to promote an up coming program brilliant.
Tucker never had a point on anything. He’s always been the dullest tool in the shed.
Luckily nobody cares what you think.
oh of course he has a point… its under his white hood… 😛
@firefox5926 you forgot: racist, not inclusive and gender biased. Try again, dear.
@VB um.. ok sure i guess i mean i kinda thought i was inferring as much with the klan reference but sure if if you need it spelt out in full… i guess ? altho i don’t believe in racism personally
@firefox5926 you a racist ? Ofcourse not. Just call somebody that thinks differently KKK is perfecrly OK for liberals nowadays. The other way around not so much.
Just wait, when republicans will begin to jump ship, it will be so great 😂⚖️⚖️⚖️🇺🇸
They keep moving the bar, and corporate media has no problems helping them spin it into reality … all to just make a buck. smh
Tucker Carlson..the answer to the question, “What if the sound “thud” grew a face?” -Stephen Colbert
And Tucker’s usual face, – when he’s asking questions he already knows the answers to, – resembles a pole-axed steer. Probably appropriate, though.
Ari Melber tackle hard questions, haha he cannot even tackle a nothingburger
Here’s the next part:
“That’s also why it’s good that there are finally investigations looking into the extent to which the Obama FBI may have used our government — and even foreign governments — to try to crush Trump in the last election.
The key question with Trump’s Ukraine call, though, is whether the president’s actions, advisable or not, rise to the level of an impeachable offense. It’s hard to argue they do. The president did not, as was first reported, offer a quid pro quo to the Ukrainians. He did not condition any U.S. support on a Biden investigation. The Justice Department has already looked at the totality of the call and determined that Trump did not break the law.”
“Once those in control of our government use it to advance their political goals (soliciting foreign governments to investigate political opponents for election help), we become just another of the world’s many corrupt countries.”
So causing the US to sink into another of the world’s many corrupt countries is not an impeachable offense? I mean really?
If Tucker believes this isn’t a crime, I wonder whether or not he thinks this should be one. And if it should be one, how is this not impeachable? Remember, Presidents don’t have to commit a crime to be impeached (take it from Lindsey Graham during the Clinton impeachment).
When even Tucker Carlson acknowledges he can’t spin tRump’s actions to something good, it means it’s really, really bad.
It’s literally easy to see that it’s an impeachable offence.
When Rudy Giuliani talks he tries to convert a little oxygen into a big iron wall. But when Tucker talks, all he can do is change the smell.
