'Shakedown Scheme': Top Dem On Explosive Giuliani Letter To Ukraine | MSNBC
Bye bye agent orange 🤣🤣
Really hope that. What other evidence would the corrupt rep party need ?? 👎👎
@Aleks palomar this is a hand written note handed off the same day it was voted on to be turned over to the Senate!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@Gary Holstein Were you expecting the note to be written in sharpie?
This is just more evidence the GOP can ignore because the American people are allowing them to.
Please get these criminals out of office!
VOTE BLUE – GOP ARE NOT GOING TO LET TRUMP LEAVE! I THINK THEY’VE PROVEN THIS OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS!
Right Now!!
Remove corrupt trump and lock him up!!!
If the Senate refuses this evidence, or any evidence, our Democracy is truly abolished.

@Gary Holstein 👈 Proud graduate of tRump University School of Law
@Benjamin Fargen no I’m an American!
@Gary Holstein Then think Country first! Would say the same if it was Obama? smh!
This is like OJ writing himself a reminder to murder his wife.
And then leaving it at Starbuck’s!
Idiots. 😅
Ro G
😄 😂
The more lies the better!
It’s the gang that couldn’t shoot straight 🙂
You don’t accuse Trump and his cronies for being smart, are you ?
Ro G ……………… trump’s memo: “Note to self >>>> Shoot someone on 5th Avenue” . Scratch that : “Get Rudy and his helpers to shoot someone on 5th Avenue:” . Yeah, that’s the ticket !
DUMP & FLUSH the PEE-PEE “GOLDEN SHOWER” Trumpf-TURD……IMPEACH!
MORON
joe sifford … oh please leave the vulgarity and the old old accusations to Trump.
Trump refers continuously to the 2016 Hillary, to the 2008 – 20016 Obama.
Let’s stop the fixations on the old and the boring.
Holy crap! Our White House is run by the leader of a crime family syndicate.
Thats why they impeached him!!!!!
Tony Rebel. Absofreakinglutely!!!
Don’t tell me you just found out about it….
You just figured this out?
The Founders understanding of bribery was derived from English law, under which bribery was understood as an officeholder’s abuse of the power of an office to obtain a private benefit rather than for the public interest. This definition not only encompasses Trump’s conduct—it practically defines it.
Trump took 400 million in taxpayer dollars, which had been appropriated by Congress, and used it to bribe a foreign country into taking specific actions that would only benefit him personally.
What Trump did, is the equivalent of a Mayor of a city, taking funds that have been allocated for the city’s local Police Department, and withholding it until they launch a bogus investigation on one of his political opponents in the upcoming elections.
The Founders placed articles of impeachment in the Constitution for the purpose of protecting our democracy. A democracy that Trump clearly has no respect for, and is trying to tear apart.
Article II, Section 4, says the president “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

👍You’re welcome.
@David J And McConnell and the majority of the GOP are giving him cover for this crime.
The founding fathers also had a different definition of militia too.
It also protects we the people because who knows of what else this monster is capable.
Son of a orangutan, one of the finest crooks in history of this country,
Nov 2020 throw all these GOP bums out and the orange Sphincter.
Not going to happen now!
@Gary Holstein Yeah, it is. Republicans are going to get CRUSHED in Nov.
@E L I doubt that
The liar in chief is a pos. There’s your problem.
As we see clearly demonstrated, “winning” to Republicans means turning America into an Orwellian Russian banana republic. We can’t–must not–allow that to happen!
The Russ-Thugu-KKKunts are crooked as a bucket of guts.
Republicans said they want a fair trial. OK–put up, or shut up and resign!
Lay Off the soy products dude your mangina is swelling!!!
@ROGER STONE nice name
How is prison?
The GOP is really a crime organization now
GOP is the ‘Government of Putin’. They are clearly beholden and have no qualms about turning traitor to America.
They have been since Nixon.
This was all about “corruption”
*Trump’s* corruption in this scheme to extort Ukraine for political dirt in the election 2020.
Nothing else.
Trump would make Al Capone look like a Alter boy
They better have witnesses and this will only show america that our government is straight up corrupt we have to stand up for our Democracy! It’s we the people #SaveOurDemocracy
But when the president does it it’s not a crime.
That’s what Nixon said.
This is by far the most corrupt, criminal, and incompetent Administration in American History. Our children and grandchildren will read of Trump’s corruption and crimes in US History books.
Jeremy Backup Not to mention the corrupt majority of the Republican senators!
Trump already has a note from his doctor to get out of the Senate Trial:
Phone Spurs.
🤣🤣😢😢😢😢😢Nothing is really funny right now. So the fascists again made a lib cry. What does this say about them if it has no effect on them?
Who can still deny that Donald Trump abused his power? Only a Trumper.
