Mueller Investigation Did Not Follow The Money On Trump: Book | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
The Mueller investigation was not thoroughly followed through; purely bc of the trump admin’s obstruction.. Let’s get to the truth finally.
@B K omfg how many conspiracy theories do you believe in
@B K if you’re a true Republican you wouldn’t fall for the rhetoric that Trump says
It’s really funny how the so-called right cannot come up with any facts and when confronted with said facts they use every conspiracy theory to support their views ….. I am a republican that believes in our Constitution and the rule of law ….. I am going to vote socialist democratic
I don’t see why this should be a surprise. 00:30 Trump obstructed justice during that investigation. He didn’t turn up for an interview, because his lawyers knew he would purger himself. It’s impossible for Trump to tell the truth. The resulting report from the Mueller investigation is still live and on going.
🤣🤣 within the first few minutes we’d see the trump version of ” A Few Good Men “” the truth, you cant handle trump truth!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Juanjose Negron LOL
Agree Muller turned over 14 different cases but I do believe Muller was treating to end the investigation because right after Barr was voted in the investigation ended and Barr came out lying about the whole report.
I wish he would purge himself. 😎
Thank heavens the House won and that they are dedicated to the truth and thank you Rachel for making sense of the madness for us! 💙💙💙💙
Mueller was to soft on Trump he should have charged him
@Andethidial bubabibub That was BS. He never challenged any pushback, he never pushed for subpoenas, indulged Trump far too much and acted like DoJ opinions had any legal authority, he allowed interference from Barr and basically passed the buck to Congress with the cowardly assertion that the report said everything so he was not prepared to expand upon it. Basically, Mueller bottled it. If he’d had any honour he’d have walked out in the middle of the investigation and made it clear that the AG was not allowing him to pursue an independent investigation. At the end of the day he turned out to be just another spineless Republican who wasn’t prepared to stand up to wrongdoing in the highest offices in the land.
Trump hasn’t done anything, but the previous admin is about to be held accountable.
@Sheila T What did Barr do to stop mueller?
@Annie What did Barr basically shut down?
@Skyprince27 Trump was out smarted his opposition. Not that difficult. Get over it snowflake.
There should be a 911 style investigation. The attack is ongoing.
@Ancel Rick : And what about poor Benedict Arnold ? That was never looked at closely either. Many people believe he was a patriot.
9/11 Commission Report was a farce.
Mueller never followed the money. Duhhhhhhhhh.
That’s first thing they do
Not if his boss won’t let him. Barr protected trump.
@Sheila T The first ig recuses himself so muellur expands to new heights.Barr was brought in so muellur had no choice to end the circus.Even evidence hiding weismann could not touch the greatest president of all time…….TRUMP !!
Amnon Meyers: Duh. That requires the tax returns.
If Ocasio is on that panel, he is DONE!!!!!
LOL, Sandy? You uh puttin a lil too much fait in the “brown” skin bruh.
Well played house Dems, Let all the BS come out at the same time to demonstrate a pattern of corruption to highlight the very high likely hood that Trump will do it again.
Well played? Someone isn’t on top of their party “news”, are they? It appears, as of now, that there is a schism regarding impeachment. Some congresspeople, after seeing how poorly the hearings went, want Pelosi to censure Trump not impeach. Hmmm…gg wp? I think not.
@George Washington poorly…for Rs…
@George Washington no schism on the left partner. We all know RTump has committed many impeachable offenses and needs to be removed from office. But we realize that the Teapublicans will never convict or remove their beloved tyrant in the Senate….no matter what he does. They, and he, are unconstitutional traitors to America who are engaged daily in criminal conspiracy. The schism on the left is how best to solve the Constitutional crisis caused by these traitors.
The founding fathers would have already dragged RTump from the oval office, tarred feathered and branded him a traitorous fool as they drove him out of Washington DC…..and likely put the big monied corporate and military swine who are Dirty Donald’s handlers to death. Rather unceremoniously I imagine.
How can any investigation be complete if one doesn’t check the trail of money especially when money is the mother of all evils in any criminal act ? Obviously Trump is already a paid Russian asset, how else to explain why Trump doesn’t even dare raise any unhappiness with Russia regarding their interference with US election !
“We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” Don Jr. in 2008
Mueller proved obstruction and collusion. He did not prove the conspiracy. He also collected over 40 million from trump’s men when he tossed them in jail.
Where are the transcripts to the Putin meeting with Trump?
@Brian Szymanski was just gagging noises as Trump chortled Pootins’ balls.
Started in August 2015 working for Republicans….. Republicans where afraid trump wouldn’t drop out and wanted to be able to get rid of him. Now look at Lindsey Graham and the Republican trump bootlickers!!!!
+NoName, I heard through the grapevine. When Lindsey was golfing with Trump at Mara Lago. Late one night while walking past Trumps apt. They overheard someone Squealing like a pig. You know that’s what they said.
5:37 Peter Fritsch: “We Started working in August of 2015 for REPUBLICANS don’t forget that” This is a fact that has been buried thew out all of this & it needs to be shouted out every time a trumpcan cries about the doussier.
Yes. I always make that crystal clear when it comes up especially on fox news idiotic comments.
It’s just a fact the Republicans where afraid trump wouldn’t drop out and they wanted some insurance. Lindsey Graham of all people handed it to McCain.
@No Name What makes me upset is The Dems nor the media push back with that fact when these trumpcans cry about it
also that the dossier was raw data and as Steele noted needed corroboration and verification. I remember reading that one of Steele’s possible sources was “disappeared” and later found in the river ( I think).
I was reminded of the Clint Eastwood film about stealing a Mig 21 where Clint’s character remarks “the real heroes were left behind”.
@Dana Herron
If you remember a lot of people in Russia where rounded up right after the dossier came out.
Mueller tried to help the president.. His investigation is suspect
[t]Rump – Guilty as Charged. Put on the bracelets and give him his orange jumpsuit. Any investigation [Report] into [t]Rump which does not “Follow the Money” is worth less than a roll of used toilet paper.
To the republicans, the Meuller report is ancient history never to be discussed again. But Hilary’ s emails ? They could talk about that for eternity.
@Richard V Sassoon Great analysis! Thank you.
@Richard V Sassoon To your point- if one listens to his rallies, its how he “tests the room”, so to speak. He says something and then checks the reaction. If he gets a reaction, he runs with it and pumps the crowd. Otherwise he tries something else. He knows he can tell 100 people whatever he thinks they want to hear and he will make a few sales from that crowd.
Twitter e.g., during the election he floats a trial balloon tweet. If it goes bad he would blame an intern or staffer tweeting as him. If he got a reaction he liked he would run with it.
This is why he gives “everything” answers. You can pick what you wanted to hear.

@Nias
Ever watch World class wrestling..
Villians & heroes interchangeable roles
I’ve been saying that for months! Why didn’t Mueller follow the money? Why were princess Ivanka and Jared Kushner and Don Jnr never interviewed under caution??
He did follow the money, it just didn’t lead back to where you all were hoping it would lead to. Why would Mueller push further after seeing that the data kept leading back to the Democratic party. You want him to investigate actual crime based on direct evidence? LOL – He had no where else to go but nowhere. He wasn’t hired to find the actual guilty party, he was hired to find the dirt on Trump. What else would you want him to do?
“We get all the funding we need out of Russia” -Eric Trump
@Hildebeast Clinton Yes…..but tell it all. The Mueller Investigation was founded on legitimate grounds, says the IG report, and was not a witch hunt or hoax!
That’s twice you’ve been disappointed. First, the Nunes “memo” was going to be an earth-shaking event…..if only they’d release it! Everyone against Trump was going to Gitmo. The memo was released and no one even remembers it because nothing happened.
Now, the IG’s report is scheduled to be released and you’re disappointed again.
So….you’re pinning all your hopes on the Senate not convicting Trump of impeachment charges. Will you be disappointed th third time? I’m guessing “yes”. The Republicans hate Trump.
@88Gibson LesPaul Just making Putin happy!
I Mueller was afraid of Trump and Republicans…😨
“We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.” Don Jr. in 2008
Rachel is a boss ‼️🔥 I can’t imagine a world without her analytical clarity in these times 🤯
Olando Howell so true!! She breaks it down so that every one can understand! I wake up at 5 in the morning to watch her show.
Put down the pipe ,madcow is nuttd
@Tablature Butler just wondering how you know anything about what trumps taxes will show?
OH BY THE WAY WHEN THE NSA DID A TOP SECRET SECURITY CHECK ON TRUMP
THEY LOOKED AT ALL HIS FINANCES
SO ONCE AGAIN YOUR FANTASY OF TRUMP GOING DOWN GETS SMASHED
Fool or tool, that is the real question about what Trump meant to Putin.
Thanks go to Rachel Maddow every day she shares with us. She’s a vital national treasure. We’re all grateful for her hard work!
I remember when my Americans friends used to tell me that Mexico was corrupt! Who is more corrupt now? America has to have one of the most corrupt governments in the world!! Times have changed!
