Rep. Eric Swalwell: Key New Impeachment Witness ‘Person Of Integrity’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
It’s time to throw the three amigos under the bus. Besides, Trump barely knew any of them, right?
He has pictures with everyone.
Trump is like satan he will help you get in trouble and when you are in jail he don’t know you anymore and then you have to go back to God for help
This type of behavior by Trump destroys the US credibility amongst other members of “the free world “.
@RJCHOICE DJT=
DONALD
JUST
TWEETED
Yup.
@marvin marvin So what your saying is that your integrity is only worth $4000. Mine is far more valuable.
The fact that Trump and Sondland, and God knows who else, are in public spaces using unsecured cellphones to hold conversations is just jaw-dropping. It breaks every rule of op-sec. They might as well be on a conference call with the Russians, because of course the Russians are listening. Trump’s personal phone number is probably scribbled on bathroom walls throughout Russia and Ukraine by now.
“For a good bribe, call this number.”
@Somebody So, you miss the good old days of crappy trade deals and treaties, planeloads of cash sent to terrorist countries, ISIS beheading people on a weekly basis, schoolgirls being abducted, people out of work and spying on members of Congress, the Press and Political opponents right?
@Saltponds239 what are you going to do when this administration is gone?
Imagine how things could have been if the GOP had just thrown Trump under the bus from the get-go and put forth Pence instead the moment of Trump’s misconduct came to light.
Now, they all are about to burn together with him and be forever remembered as the criminal party which tried to overthrow the United States and the Constitution for personal gain.
Serves them right.
Saltponds239 the only reason the mueller thing didn’t “work out” is because the Trump loyalist Bill Barr stomped it right out of the gate.
ashley … So true.
Imagine …
No one is burning. Here’s your sign!😆
Marc Emson Burn together? He’s going to be in office 2 full terms because of worms like you. The Democrats are the party that lost to a reality tv star, who only care about their corporate donors welfare and impeachment hearings that go absolutely nowhere. The DNC is corruption at its finest. You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.
Wow this has been a bad day for Spanky . Yovanovitch was an excellent witness despite GOP predictions of her testimony being a dud, Roger Stone found guilty on 7 counts espicially on the fact that he was conduit between wikileaks and the Trump campaign (collusion?), and now 2 witnesses saying they heard the potus on the phone call talking investigations. Woozer.
Woozer – and the whistleblower heard ……
j walsh Mushroom?
@j walsh What happened to old Stormy and Avanetti?
What happened with Wikileaks shouldn’t be called “collusion”. The word is “conspiracy.” The only question is whether the conspiracy can be qualified to meet the level of criminality.
Not only does he take the call within earshot of other people but he discusses the details of said call afterwards. Incredible.
Maxwell Yep. They’re also dining outside. Anyone passing by could listen in. No wonder Putin loves trump. So idiotic.
Trump & co. are the biggest threat to America’s National Security, unbelievable.
@Paula Keezer – Replaced by ‘But but but Biden’. This is currently used by the hardcore Trump supporters.
However, it sucks big time when something comes back to bite you in the behind. (Flynn, ‘Lock her up’)
Sondland was showing off, probably. And stupid. Can’t wait to see him show off on Wednesday.
A Beltran Thanks for the list of Trump’s atrocious behaviors over the years. That one article exceeded my phone’s data plan for the month.
Trump admitted he commit quid pro quo in his dealing with Ukraine President. This is not hearsay. This is a fact!!
@Steven Johnsson The swamp is deep but it is draining quickly.
@Saltponds239 I sure hope so 😁
@Steven Johnsson Most of Trumps associates are going to jail, including long time ally Roger Stone. Do you actually think Trump is the only non-corrupt one amongst them all??
@Warrdogg Roger Stone wasn’t corrupt. He is going to prison for “lying to congress” something many democrats have done and they don’t get any jail time. How fair is that?
There’s so much corruption connected to the deep state that they even control the DoJ, FBI and CIA. No wonder they’re going after Trump with everything they got.
When you boil it down – Trump should be impeached for TREASON:- He sold out US National Security, your security, for a catchphrase that he could use in the 2020 election.
@Steven Johnsson
You speak in jargon and lies, cliches and conspiracy lunatic, stupid talking points that are far from the truth. You live in an altered reality, helped along by the corrupt incompetent immoral and stupid mistake squatting in the W.H.
@crispy Well stated.
@Astrobrant2
What trump has done to Ukraine’s President is bribery, extortion. Period.
totally agree , don’t lessen to those that belittle your opinion. they are just shmack and trumps actors that he payed with tax payers money .
BTW, crispy, I didn’t mention this before, but I don’t think the way you worded your original comment would fit the definition of treason. I believe your description would be “defrauding the United States” when putting it in the context of demanding an investigation of Biden. It could also be treason, however, if Russia was considered an enemy of the United States. He certainly aided and abetted their aggression against Ukraine and gave Russia diplomatic and military comfort by withholding javelin missiles from Ukraine. He is guilty of the same by pulling troops out of northwestern Syria, leaving the Kurds without our support, which is a major boon to Russia’s agenda in the region.
IOW, everything he does that helps Putin commit acts contrary to our national security and national interests is grounds for a charge of treason, IMO.
No question the Trump WH-brigs are crumbling. Now I wonder how much more must be revealed about Trump’s shady actions, until Republicans surrender to facts, truth and law.
Me thinks you work for NBC what sayeth.
🖕
@Anthony D lol you okay dude?
This president is an imbecile! Using an unsecured phone to call places where, his phone can be intercepted and record his conversations. But, as he says ” I HAVE LIKE A BIG BRAIN” full of non intelligence!
Should have learned from Hillary right?
big brain is a cow’s brain.
Remember when right after his inauguration we saw Trump at Mar-a-Lago discussing sensitive government information with some random guests he didn’t even know?
because he is so dumb? Before entering the WH he should have done a “President Test”.
Congratulations Sen. for this excellent work! Well done and nice to see and hear that there are still very honest and truthful people in your country!
Swallwell truthful. 😆😆😆
Sondland has four choices:
Plead the fifth.
Claim amnesia.
Tell the truth.
Lie and join his fellow perjurer Roger Stone in prison.
ruth depew that’s crazy you should say that bcuz I predicted he would get elected into office and one of his own would assassinate him. Didn’t predict it would be one of his own tweets that would assassinate him. Funny though……a little birdy told me. Tweet tweet…..
At this point “tell the truth” means he lied under oath in previous testimonies. It’s practically the same as the last option
Or defect to russia
Funny how there seems to be no clips of coverage from fox regarding this testimony….. NOT! 😂
@Giff Kucsma I’m pretty sure I already stated that but thanks! X 👍
@Anthony D Erm…. No!…. I just pay attention and come from a country where we still have ACTUAL news channels with REAL reporters! 🤦♀😊
@Jo your not from the US 😆😆😆
Jo – Understood, Jo, but some of the airheads commenting here can’t get it through their thick heads. 😖
How can our allies share intelligence with us with this level of corruption in our government. It will take years to rebuild trust.
@Todd R People forget the attack was a few Months before the election so they had to come-up with some sort of story.
Fast forward to today, same playbook except now the Impeachment hoax.
@Fishie Fishie What known lies? What the DemoRATS and Fake News have been telling you? How about that 3 year lie that Trump colluded with Russia? How’d that work out for you?
@Saltponds239 Russia DID interfere With are Elections ! and trump and His Son Did Collude With Russia, Do You People Not Read ? Nor Listen ? Or are you just hearing what the fat cat fake news fox is telling you ? Do you not have a mind to think for your selves ? Get a job n move out of your moms house. : /
Maja-Danmark Every president has to make decisions like that, don’t feel bad. You can’t judge a presidency and a country on a canceled visit. You can judge a country on its media, and we have the worst in the world. MSNBC is left wing biased corporate media and a cancer to the people of the US.
@jmgmarcus Can’t prosecute reporters but certainly folks can be prosecuted for leaking classified information. It’s about time folks start getting prosecuted.
Nixon: “I’m not a crook.”
Trump: “I’m a crook. Get over it.”
@Abhishek Harge hahahahahhahahahahahah keep listening to the media. Yea Trump really intimidated the witness considering he tweeted while she was testifying and the only reason she even knew about the Tweet is because that crook Adam Schiff stopped her testimony to announce Trump was tweeting about her. She wouldnt even known about the Tweet till after her testimony if not for schiff. yea that sure does sound like witness intimidation to me haha you clown
@William Smyth anyone whos disagrees with me is a russian troll. I know whats best for America and anyone who dsagrees is a russian agent like Tulsi Gabbard.
@Dawn Short you mean the tweet thelady wasnt even aware of until Adam Schiff told her about it during her testimony. She wouldnt even of known till after her testimony if shiff didnt tel her
@Steven Johnsson anyone whos disagrees with me is a russian troll. I know whats best for America and anyone who dsagrees is a russian agent like Tulsi Gabbard.
Wait…Hillary Clinton was vilified for a unsecured email server
But trump had unsecured phones
Ivanka and don jr making money from foreign governments and
Giuliani, Igor and Parnus conducting America government policies
WTF
Old wealthy white guy (& his family) privilege…. rule of law does NOT apply – has nothing been learned?
Yeah its called a double standard, maybe youve heard of it.
@Denyze Obama was one of the biggest liars in office, next to Hillary and Trump.
Remember when he ran in 2008? He said *CHANGE* and nothing changed. He said *HOPE* and in 8 years he destroyed any.
We get another Obama and this country will truly burn.
Malca’s Grace Hillary deserves to be vilified
After today’s convictions of Rodger Stone for lying to congress, Sondland will tell the truth. Things are falling into place, at just the precise moments needed.
Deens, yes, the pieces are falling in. We have to wonder, though, how many more corrupt things has Trump done that we don’t know about yet? For example, I’d sure love to know what Trump and Putin talked about in their secret meeting, and I really want to know what Erdogan and Trump talked about in their phone call just before Trump dumped on the Kurds. I’ve been hoping for another whistleblower.
Here’s a chilling thought: imagine if Democrats hadn’t won the House in 2018!
@Astrobrant2 i think Erdogan told trump he was going in and trump better get US military out of there otherwise they are going to get shot at. Trump blinked and then pulled the US out because he is a weak leader.
@scott lampe You have to think like Trump. He is only concerned about himself, and every other world leader knows it. It was probably like, “That’s a nice building you’ve got there in Istanbul. I’d hate to see anything bad happen to it. By the way, I wonder if you could do me a favor….”
@Astrobrant2 so true🤤😫
Astrobrant2 this is why voting in every election is so important !
Wouldn’t it hilarious if David Holmes managed to hit the record button on his cell phone during that conversation in the Kyiv restaurant? That would mean that despite Trump blocking all of the first-hand witnesses from testifying, he would be the star witness in his own impeachment trial!
Trump discussed extortion of Zelensky with Sondland on a cell phone in a Ukrainian restaurant. Can any human possibly figure out the depth of Trump’s stupidity?
Terry Kane Easy. He’s gotten away with worse. He thinks he is and may be untouchable.
Where is this call? You Democrats are fools.
