NBC News: Trump White House May Bring Forward Motion To Dismiss | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
Wait.. they could potentially just DISMISS this? What an absurd joke!
@Elon Musk How much proof do you need ??? Or why not just speak the truth my friend & say you don’t care what crimes Trump committed , as you love him regardless.
Leo no proof if it was proof he would be removed delusional mentally ill person
Leo seek help infiowars.com
@Elon Musk Oh wait . I just noticed your an Alex Jones zombie huh
Never mind.
Leo excuse me?
Senate put it in and broke it off.
What about the conflicts of interest within trumps legal team
You mean how Schiff and his office staff’s co-ordination with the whistleblower regarding the filing, making Schiff a fact witness?
@ArgentPure whistleblower had to go to someone, and everyone else was in Trump’s pocket. Your argument is invalid.
Jacqueline Knauff Trump ,has no shame,,win at all cost, destroy any thing in your way, lives, careers, reputations, lie, steal, deceive,,,,,destroy families,,,,he’s a megamanic,demagogue, sociopath, narcissist…..
Not gonna fly. Especially the thing to prove good intentions when we have #Tre45on on tape multiple times saying and asking for investigations into Biden. 😂
@ArgentPure 1. That strongarming was widely approved all around the globe, unlike the quid-pro-quo of Trump, which wasn’t even approved by his own administration, and 2. What corruption?
@ArgentPure bot…
Don’t kid yourself @Ganiscol. Team @POTUS wouldn’t dream of asking for a dismissal. Three years of work have lead up to where we are now. #NothingCanStopWhatsComing
Since when did the accused Donald John Trump get to call the shots in his Trial regarding when/if there will be a Trial, when/if he’ll show up, what/if witnesses and evidence will be produced, how long the Trial will proceed, if at all, and so on. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts is more of a window dressing manikin in Macy’s store window. Unreality Show. Is this the best we get after 254 years of constitutional democracy? Are we still locked into eighteenth century ritual?
The ghost of Al Capone would be ambarassed of trump
for being Putin’s puppet. But might have been impressed by how well another sociopath could make such good use of the media to spread his own dial-reah.
@John Watt You actually prove my point. Modern technology but the Accused, modern Benefict Arnold, is exploiting ancient form and formula to weasel his way out of suffering consequences of his very modern high crimes and misdemeanors. It’s not, or shouldn’t be, like the movie ‘Back to the Future’ where POTUS45 can pick and choose.
Just like crazy Nancy made the rules in the housr….turncoat
@AZ Niteforce AlphaOmega NitefArce. Another anony-mouse keyboard hero ashamed to show their real name, if they have one. Whoever gave you your unoriginal talking points might provide you with a proper name. Congress was open, fair and thorough. POTUS45 and GOP Reps wouldn’t cooperate, scared about revealing the truth. Slave Mitch McConnell took his Master’s directions and committed Perjury by breaking his Sworn Oath about the Trial. This ‘Trial’ is like the KKK in the deep South 50-60 years ago. Proud of that backwards progress?
There’s the Truth, and there’s Trumptalk and never the twain shall meet.
Oooh someone thinks they’re smart because they heard Morgan Freeman use word twain.
@Chris Phillips Well… It’s better than using Trumptalk, no?
They may yet face each other on the field of battle…
@Chris Phillips yeah, I’m guessing from your syntax and the fact you’re trolling YouTube comments for the Orange fuckweasel that you THINK Morgan Freeman probably did invent the quote……….😉😆😆😆😆
To dismiss the US Constitution and the rule of law?
The Supreme Court did not reject the claim of privilege out of hand; it noted, in fact, “the valid need for protection of communications between high Government officials and those who advise and assist them in the performance of their manifold duties” and that “[h]uman experience teaches that those who expect public dissemination of their remarks may well temper candor with a concern for appearances and for their own interests to the detriment of the decisionmaking process.” This is very similar to the logic that the Court had used in establishing an “executive immunity” defense for high office-holders charged with violating citizens’ constitutional rights in the course of performing their duties. The Supreme Court stated: “To read the Article II powers of the president as providing an absolute privilege as against a subpoena essential to enforcement of criminal statutes on no more than a generalized claim of the public interest in confidentiality of nonmilitary and nondiplomatic discussions would upset the constitutional balance of ‘a workable government’ and gravely impair the role of the courts under Article III.” Because Nixon had asserted only a generalized need for confidentiality, the Court held that the larger public interest in obtaining the truth in the context of a criminal prosecution took precedence.
I guess there are not 51 Senators willing to lose their next election.
They have already lost that!
Rudolf F. Borsics so I’m guessing that you’re a senator
@John Watt You are silly.
@Rudolf F. Borsics If the Republicans want to follow Trump to the exit in November than so be it. God speed
@leschab Learn how to live in the real world. The one in your head is screwed up and you cant live in it anyway.
IMPEACH early and OFTEN!!!
Vote.. Organize unify and show up!! Remember last time🙈🌊🌊🌊
And people wonder why the world no longer trusts America…
@Honest Business Remember how Trumpy did the Ukraine extortion scheme phone call right after he felt Mueller had let him off the hook? Uggh, I shudder to think of all the phone calls he’d be making if Moscow Mitch McTurtle finds a way to exonerate him. Hopefully he tweets it all so that stuff can go into the presidential record.
eliotno3 – Sir, I would think fair comment to say we trusted America but not the President, but it is becoming clear that those that surround him are no longer working for America wither but for the President. Rgds NZ
@Bob Smith all of them in the rest of the world
That’s OK the voters can bring forward a motion to dismiss.
& We will in 2020 ! The People will dismiss Mr. Trump .
A Fish Rots From the Head Down.
Trump said he would like to be in impeachment trial. That’s probably why he immediately went overseas
Jerry Walker ..his words mean less than zero
It’s constantly being said that the Democrats have been out to get the president since he took office. Let’s say that is so. If he conducted himself with HONESTY and INTEGRITY in the office of the Presidency, he would not be facing this impeachment. He needs to take responsibility for his actions. The process is not unfair.
Word from a pathological liar are worthless…let’s hear witnesses, public wants the truth
This senate will violate the oath of office!! Ignore evidence, shun witnesses and continue the criminal conspiracy!
You mean like the house did clown
If the law applies to everyone this way, I’ll be a criminal.
Why dismiss if hes innocent? Why not prove the demsxwtong and testify himself (trump)….I mean …even O J. Testified lol
“The Worlds Greatest Deliberating Body” is what John Roberts called them! LOL!
The GOP is nothing but a Cult of Narcissists addicted to power & control & enabling a Malignant Narcissistic Sociopath!! They come in packs!
Clueless clown
