Two key witnesses have linked the Ukraine bribery plot to Trump’s acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney. Army Officer Vindland and National Security Official Fiona Hill have both testified that Mick Mulvaney was actively involved in arranging meetings regarding the Ukraine investigation into the Biden’s in exchange for military aide, further engulfing him in the center of the impeachment probe. Peggy Noonan, Tony Schwartz and Mark Thompson join Ari Melber. Aired on 11/8/19.

See New Impeachment Evidence Cornering Trump's Top Aide Mulvaney | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Call this extortion not quid pro quo. People will understand the word extortion.
Because you have the other party not being the aid was with held for a month later. Also said the was none mmmm. Sounds like you have holes in your story still. Please don’t say the Ukraine was covering for him. That’s applying Motive And you do not know What is motivation is. Please don’t say Russia because then you just too dumb to talk. Ukraine and Russia are not friends. But when demonrats tell the Minions to just or believe lies they always do
Tony T let’s go a bit further it was nothing other than making Ukraine an offer they couldn’t refuse “THE GODFATHER “
Good point Tony T !
@Nadya Yes, excellent Nadia!
Tony T tough one aye,only in America.
Mulvaney needs to go to prison. He knowingly and willfully broke the law and told the country to “get over it!”
That’s right… Good one!
@Bob leroy People have gone to prison for long lengths of time for much less! These people must be tried for their crimes – in plain sight!
Oh he will. Not just him, Giuliani, Pompeo, and several others will join him as cell mates. But, Trump will be separated like Anthony Hopkins in ‘Silence of the Lambs’. He’s special.
mark vines … I’m not sure if Mulvaney understands what he did and how serious this whole Ukraine issue is.
I’m in Australia and it ain’t that blurry to see what happened, there is a criminal in your Whitehouse.
@Lauren Read the transcript for yourself. You can find it on line. You may think twice about those ‘multiple credible witnesses’.
@Manatee 7 05
@somastic69 nuke your trailer park
I’m an Australian too, and you are a moron.
@Gillian Sernich I agree, further proof of such is who he put in charge of education. Betsy DeVos is the worst thing to happen to our education system ever. Why? Because he and those in his admin want to DUMB DOWN America, not EDUCATE the citizens. Educated citizens would not, in fact do vote for them.
I want a T-shirt that says “I’ve read the transcripts have you read the Constitution “
Have you read the full transcript ?!? You would be out of business by now!
I make custom design tshirts, send me your info at coquitshirts@yahoo.com, $15 plus shipping
E P I C !!
What about the people who died because of the aid being heard back 😡😡😡
Are you talking about Joe Biden
Who died?
Kim Hawkins: Yours is the gravest question of all. Never mind quid pro quo, bribery, extortion, even treason (which requires a time of active war), what about conspiracy to commit murder? How are these swine NOT guilty of crimes against the human race? No sentence is harsh enough for those knowingly throwing their hats into this ring of murders. The stink now coating America will never wash.
@H.L. RAINEY This narrow minded statement shows how ignorant you truly are. The funding for aid being held from Ukrain was for future aid. There was never a lapse in aid, no one died, and no feelings were hurt. This is just more fear mongering and fake news from the left. On the other hand it is absolutly true that more lives are being saved in Ukrain under the Trump administration then the Obama Administration… do some research before you write comments and make yourself look stupid!
Hey Mccluskey: Look at you pretending to be informed. To make a dent in my position you would need at least one fact in support of your own. That you fail to offer anything remotely supportable exposes you as a shill. 13,000 dead Ukrainian soldiers since 2017 make a stark mockery of your agitprop. You can attack me all you like, knock yourself out, your problem remains however, ad homonym screeds do nothing to change the facts for you or your draft dodging boy. Buy your spelling’s not bad. You could turn off Fox, buy a book, and learn something reflecting America’s hideous reality.
Stop coddling this President as if he is a child because he isn’t.
@James K. Boyle Its just started for Trump. You have had reports on what the public testimony will provide. The Stone trial opened with lots more on Trumpty data Dumpty and the Russian circus lies and some more lies and surprise… lies. Some long winded classification of five types of lies. Lies the size of baby’s got back thighs. Lies about lies and lies with a hat… lies in a big pile of dog shat. Trump is jealous of the dog yes its true… Its about whose got the biggest swirly pooh.
@One divbypi maybe you can peove these lies. Thus far zero evidence yet again. None.

@James K. Boyle Stop speaking for other people? Are you mad? I am not speaking for anyone here. I am simply stating that there was pressure there and for you to say there isn’t is asinine. The President is going to say whatever he needs to ensure a good relationship with the USA because he needs our aid to keep his country out of the hands of Russia. You’re ready to write him off because he said there was no pressure but you don’t even take a second to look at the big picture and see what kind of situation he’s in.
Yeah and congress approved the aid after those prerequisites were made. That should have been all there was to it. Trump held up the aid and not two days after the phonecall was it finally released. He should have never held up the aid in the first place. It’s hilarious you are trying to defend an indefensible situation. That is the problem. You say nothing here was wrong and you also say there is no evidence but just because you’re ignorant to the evidence doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. We have sworn testimonies for people caught in the middle of this and you are just going to ignore it? Please; That is isn’t even close to a defense. Do you honestly think that several people INCLUDING somebody close to Trump corroborating this situation is not enough evidence that Trump committed a crime here? How dishonest have you got to be to sit there and say that when several people are literally laying down very specific details? Trump has been stonewalling all of the people who could defend him in this impeachment probe and then has the gall to literally say that democrats are only “Finding people who hate him”. Which is a joke of an argument. The people who have been testifying are Patriots in every sense of the word. They don’t have loyalty to Trump first; They have loyalty to this country first. If Trump has nothing to hide, then he should let the people testify to it. If he has nothing to hide, he’s sure acting like somebody who does.
As for the Biden situation, keep on deflecting. It doesn’t change anything of what Trump did. Using Biden’s name isn’t a defense for Trump. It’s the reason he is this situation. I can’t wait for Bolton to testify and finally get this joke of a President impeached. The Republican party has fallen far.
There can be an investigation into Biden. I could care less. It doesn’t, however, exonerate Trump from anything.
@Vermillion Stop speaking for the President of Ukraine, there was zero pressure, They recieved there aid and you have zero evidence that Trump told the presudent or anybody that aid was contingent on any quid pro.
PLEASE READ THE TRANSCRIPT,
PLEASE LISTEN TO THE PRESIDENT STATE THERE WAS NO QUID PRO.
You have zero evidence, not even the whistle blower had first hand account.
REAL CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE ORGINS OF FAKE DOSSIER AND FISA ABUSE.
yes it involves Ukraine.
Items needed for tRUMP”s impeachment. One stout tree: One heavy braided hemp rope.:One six foot deep hole: Eight Port-O-Potty’s to cover said hole..Free Champagne for all.
But yet Trump isn’t allowed to call that lynching either.. huhm
“There was no quid… pro quo” trump talks so stupid , i bet he doesnt even know what that means 💯💯😂
@Marvin Guigar Impeachment inquiry means they are gathering more evidence. Big difference
True , he thinks it’s something on a Sushi menu ..
I said a long time ago that trump doesn’t even know what quid pro quo means! Can he even translate it into English!!??
@Joann Pasco His aides told him it’s something on the menu at McDonald’s , that’s how he learned how to say it . He was very disappointed when found out that it wasn’t really on the menu , because he wanted to order it, and they don’t have that , and don’t know how to make it . So sad that McDonald’s don’t really have that on their menu , the Democrats had something to do with taken it off the menu , he heard it somewhere ,and people are talking about it. It should be looked into.
Bolton: “Giuliani is a hand grenade.”
Trump: “I only hire the best hand grenades.”
rant404 LOL I LOVE THIS COMMENT.
rant404: OMG so funny! Bravo.
This is why I love Ari Melber.
He wants intelligent discussion.
Sure state own Dnc news
@Tony C DNC ain’t in control of the executive and judicial branches nor the Senate. Obama didn’t have nightly advisory phone calls with MSNBC hosts as Trump does with Hannity. You’re projecting in order to tamp down that uncomfortable cognitive dissonance that knows what Republicans have done is wrong but you don’t want to feel like one of the bad guys.
@Gaylen Oraylee There a big difference when CNN take him out of context then lies. They been Parroting then Dnc talking points. Not one but all. Yes I agree that fox does the same but the at least tell you that They’re shows our opinion. But CNN lied over and over. They have people even say that the Russian collusion was not real but reported at it was. This impeachment crap. They been Exposed time and time again. Find some real news. Sorry I have seen videos after videos. One last one let not for get CNN been call Conservatives Trump supporters Anyone right of center Racist homophobic you name it just like Hillary Clinton and they parroting the line over and over and over again millions of Americans. Sorry bit if you can’t see that CNN is Dnc propaganda then you won’t to it to late
@Tony C Your bosses must reserve the best English speakers for the Twitter patrols, huh?
Gotta stand with Admiral McCraven on this one: “Donald Trump is a threat to the United States.”
In what way?
@Chessbox09 A strategy that fooled and still fooling a lot of idiots. Most are just narrow-minded, naive and uneducated snowflakes
Just because you can repeat the talking points for others just as stupid as yourself doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about. Explanation?
@Jeremy Parker ya know what is extremely sad is all the likes of the comment but none of them ask a question or even state why they agreed with him. its almost like accepted like brainwashed in. like of course we all know exactly what you are talking about.. without saying anything. weird.
💯👏👏
“small hands square pants” told the truth once.
He did it in a interview, he said he was a very greedy person .
She’s wrong, relying too much on the past. These are different times and different people. Sadly, some are not good people.
Watch Mr. Smith Goes Yo Washington. Last third is exactly how republicans behave now.
I know what she meant… As angry as we all are at this whole hijacked election, and as angry and disappointed as we are at Trump… We should not gloat once we finally take him down.
Why? Because we MUST be better than self righteous Trump puppets… “IF”… we intend to get our country back on track. Think President Lincoln after the Civil War. He held no grudges, and that allowed ALL of our country a chance to unify much quicker than to continue spreading contempt for one another.
Trump supporters have made a drastic mistake by being fooled into believing in this horrible human being. Let us be more mature and try and forgive their mistake. It is the Christian thing to do… And, it is just the right thing to do for the betterment of all.
Did Bolton not have an obligation to report this “drug deal” himself?
She missing the point, these Republicans do not care and will no agree not matter what as long as lying Trump gets his own way.
TONI MARTIN As long as the majority of Dump’s followers only follow the other Republicans because they blindly worship their cult leader
The donald, always the NARCISSIST, must have everything his way. It will be part of his undoing.
“A very careful way”? As if anything about this shitshow is careful?
“I hardly know the gentleman”. That’s the end right there.
Marya Swell I’m not at all a trump supporter but I’m pro facts and truth and this is all hearsay along with chopped up audio. They need to play the full conversation for the public with no edits and let the people decide.
@DTR Pod – You do realize hearsay is applicable as evidence in a court of law right? Any eye witness testimony is technically hearsay. But they have transcripts, they have the fact the money was delayed. They have emails and texts of conversations. And that is on both the Mueler report on obstruction and the Ukraine call.
Adam B hearsay and an Eye whiteness are two different things. Anyone can come forward with hearsay and could be lies especially if the person delivering the hearsay has a motive or agenda. Even and eye witness has to have information that coincides with the hard facts. The dems has not brought any info that has been facts yet. Just a bunch of hearsay from individuals who’s not so clean themselves
Lindsey Graham, Moscow Mitch, Gaetz – Satan’s three apprentices.
Rand Paul, Jim Jordan, Ben Carson, Betsy De Vos, Kellyanne Conway, Ajit Pai, Mnuchin, Mulvaney, Pompeo, Barr, …
There seems like a good chance Trump is going to jail after he leaves office.
@jones, trump can be the top dog in prison
Amen
Lock him up! Lock him up!
no, Pence will pardoned him once he leaves office.
What happened to trumps “genius” brain!!? He says he “doesn’t” remember to a lot of questions proposed! Are the drugs starting to take over!!??
