New Details Emerge As Trump Fights To Quash Whistleblower Report | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
The United States is operating under an executive administration of lawlessness.
@Wayne Hasch you love it because you are the Enemy Russia
@Steven Cooper Grammar Police 100% correct all the time.
sure there is a constitution, and it is not what I think, is what most of the rest of people thinks, the bottom line, the so called potus (Ilegit one, got help from Russia and now is putting pressure on UKR to help him win relection) the direction of the country , with huge debt that has skyrocketed, no infrastructure, no health care, loosing jobs (GM), coal industry nothing has happened there, trade wars, guns, etc., but most important, . A. LAWLESS POS THAT DOES NOT RESPECT LAWS OR CONSTITUTION FOR THAT MATTER, SO………NEXT WAR WITH IRAN ! OHH……….WELL…………..THIS COUNTRY LOOKS WORST THEN ANY OTHER THAT US CRITIZES, SO DO NOT BRAG ABOUT IT, AND THE EMPIRE IS GOING DOWN…… DOLLAR WILL EVENTUALLY LOSS POWER, COUNTRIES ALLIES ARE STARTING TO DO THINKS ON THEIR OWN…………………OHH WELL……….
Trumpkins will scream fake news while providing zero proof of their claim.
@Rick Karsan Where’s your Mommy, little Incel?
@Landen Ace : If it’s the Dems saying “don’t look into it” why are the Repugnantcons still refusing to release the unredacted Mueller Report? Why does McDonald Tantrump need a criminal AG to protect him? Why won’t he release the whistleblower information? And why has the Presidunce ordered everybody to ignore subpoenas to testify to Congress?
@Rick Karsan : There is an abundance of proof all around you, but you choose to ignore it, to deny it, and to reject it. What is not so clear to see, however, is any evidence whatsoever that the Presidunce is capable of stringing two true sentences together.
@Landen Ace they can’t investigate it because Trump’s hiding the complaint.
@Oberst Kawaii for the past three years America’s economy has been doing better than ever especially for the middle and lower class
Crime in plain sight! we FOX have thison their fake news channel? Maybe!! Time will tell … Soul-Sucking Horror Movie
fauKKKs, the ONLY “news” outlet to go to court to protect their RIGHT TO LIE.
@Professor Liberal Avenger Everybody is aware that Fux Noise AREN’T ALLOWED TO CALL THEMSELVES A “NEWS” ORGANISATION IN GREAT BRITAIN, right?
Just checking…
Trump is seriously compromised but no one seems to be able to hold him to account.
Gracie P. You’ve got to think that Trump is a product of a failing system. It’s no dissimilar to a cancer. The question really is – Is there a cure? Unfortunately probably not. Trump might not even be the worst. There might be something lurking yet to surface. Sounds pessimistic I know, but with all that’s happened you just can’t have faith in the system. Some pretty big geopolitical players in the wings. Danger ahead.
That’s what happens when everyone around him is bought off or otherwise corrupt themselves.
Because America has little to no Balls.
The most Transparent administration EVER, Has to gear up for more Lies an disinformation. Obfuscation an Deception the new Normality. Of this Administration. Swamp thing LIVES !
Man day after day things go from bad to worst in the White House!!! This must stop…
And yet it goes on and on and on and on. We need a john wick assassin to cool his jets big time.
Gee, you think?
Most openly corrupt administration I’ve ever seen. Of course drumphette would give the Ukraine to putin.
@Tim D YET TAKEN A KNEE IS DISRESPECTING THE FLAG,ITS A SAD DAY N USA,HOW Y WOULD REPUBLICANS NOT STEP UP&GET RID OF HIM?? MAKE U SAY HUMMMMM,CME
(edited)
Russia cannot afford Ukraine. The budget of Russia is equal to the budget of New York. And in Russia nobody whant Ukrainians – traitors of their legendary heroes in ww2
I don’t understand how they can block it. Turnabout is fair play. Just release the report to Congress. Grow a pair!
Since Barr is covering up for Trump there is no alternative for the whistle blower to do but go directly to to congress
@Whirlwind S
It’s in the IG’s hands to take it to congress.
The administration Barr and the White House are blocking the claim from being given to congress.. Total disrespect for the law. The GOP has not respect for the constituition . “No President can be investigated while he is in office” a statement made by Barr!! We are in the twilight zone and crime family tactic.
We live in a fascist country at this time…what happened to check and balances
Daniel Cmore can you please give us factual examples ? I’ve been looking for something since 2016 and still can’t find a single act (by the President), to support your claim . Coincidentally , hours of video evidence exist of people , whose actions are clearly defined as fascist actions. enough
carmen patricia conde fierro and three years later, they still have no evidence to support a single accusation.
@Dennis Barnes WELL, WHO ARE YOU, IF WE’RE.
” YOU”?????
Jaywalk 2020 exactly what happens to traitors and people who are found guilty of committing treason .
WTF is going on. Why is this criminal cabal still in power? Your system is failing.
🆘 Please Send Help
Trump/Putin put all the necessary sycophants in positions of power. Little by little they took over and continue taking over. Soon America will be done. Shame the great individuals like J.F.K. and M.L.K. were assassinated which tells me Trump will live until he chokes on a cheeseburger or his syphilis gets him.
@Polly Bradley
Thanks for your comment. You packed so much truth in to a short statement. It’s fairly common knowledge, to us that still deal in facts, that it’s the Republican party who has led our population into the dumbing down of America. All whilst widening the income disparity.
Correction the system failed- this is going on for far too long. No real laws, just practice.
People just need to grow some balls and leak the information to the press and Congress. Do the right thing damnit.
Trump is suppose to be a leader of ther people! IF HE CAN’T DICLOSE HIS TAXES! DISCLOSE CONVERSATIONS WITH LEADERS OF ANOTHER NATION! THEN HE DOESNT REPRESENT US AS A NATION!!! HE IS OUT FOR HIS OWN! YOU TRUMP LOVERS GAVE HIM A GOLDEN TICKET TO LEAVE OUR COUNTRY AFTER HJS PRESIDENCY! YOU IGNORENT VOTERS THINK HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU WHEN HE GOES???? ILLL WAIT!!
Do what for the country?
Add more babble to the media?
Seek refuge in Russia?
What will Americans do with further evidence that America is broken?
I think the IG should release the info to congress. Regardless of what the WH says. It’s his duty to do so. That’s part of the job he signed on for.
Dump know what he did was illegal. He thought no one would find out.
He doesn’t care who finds out
He knows he’s gotten away with it over and over. Why would this be any different?
@v blackwell yep you are right.
@v blackwell so what can we the people do?? We can’t just sit back and keep allowing this to happen. If we don’t America will be no more
@test Testing Agreed!!!!
An adult in the room being gagged ? There is no hope for America if such behaviour is the new norm. Barr is the new fixer for Trump how low can they go ? This urgent complaint is already six weeks old !
Suspect what a joke! we know trump is doing these things.
Thank you Rachel for helping connect the dots here! So disturbing!
More obstruction of justice by Barr and Trump ! This has to stop , this is totally illegal !!
If there is no punishment there is no crime.
@Keoki Ciervo there is a crime , but some won’t let us resolve it until he loses ! 2020 prison !
That Republican Party are The Third Reich!!!!***
No. It’s far worse than that. This time? The call is coming from inside the house. Register! Vote! And if you don’t? Your worse than a trump supporter. You stood by and watched; and did nothing. “Evil triumphs when good men do nothing “
Trump put traitors Barr and Kavanaugh in position of power to have himself protected.
Rachel Maddow, god bless your strong heart. I feel how genuine your consciousness is.
Who wouldn’t love to see Bill Barr trying to look cool in an orange jump suit.
