Strzok: Trump's Financial Involvement With Russia Is Very Broad | Morning Joe | MSNBC
TRE45ON
KVM By Michael Bezilla. June 30, 2014. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The U.S. Constitution defines treason as levying war against the government and aiding and abetting its enemies. Oh Yeah, “and aiding and abetting it’s enemies “.
Its time to act
Donald Trump is killing America
@Jason Lee Royalty Well, it certainly sounds like that is exactly what he has been trying to do, judging by those Bob Woodward recordings. Your whole argument and existence are “bogus” if really you think that Trump is truly fit to serve as the POTUS.
@Skin EyemIn cnn is lying to you, they are democrat news. It is not about the “truth” it’s about politics. Seek the truth
Trump is trying to make the US in Russia’s image.
@Constituent A that’s because English is not their first language 😕
@Apple Banana You dont have a very good relationship with the truth. Your seriously decieved. Fake news is fake news, get a clue. Watch Fox News if you want to know the truth. Wake up stupid.
Joe 2020
Biden and Harris hate the police and love the BLM thugs! Real Americans will re elect Trump!
@Randy Couch And Trump loves Russia
Dan Dan You are not Black. No black person in their right mind would vote for Biden.
Its just incredible what this president is getting away with. Mind boggling revelations every day. Good luck from the UK.
@Paul Not much wrong with anything he has done. These posters are losers afraid for their make believe jobs.
@Altair IV Almost none of that was happening(If it did) while he was President. What say we follow Biden’s money while he WAS Vice President.
Don Williams Either you have zero clue about Trump incompetence or you are a Russian troll.
It’s very frightening and frustrating. Fox News is spewing lies 24/7 and people believe it
What’s incredible is the fact that someone could make a statement like you just did. Anybody with ANY sense can see that PRESIDENT Donald John Trump did NOTHING wrong. The FBI, CIA, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives (on several attempts) the NSA, the DOJ and EVERY OTHER INTELLIGENCE AGENCY IN AMERICA SPENT THREE YEARS LOOKING and found NO WRONG DOING. WHY ? The only answer an intelligent person can come up with is “there is NOTHING to be found” yet you still say “Its just incredible what this president is getting away with.” WHAT is he getting away with ????
I have no doubt Putin owns Trump and multiple other politicians, especially Republicans.
Paul I did read almost all of the Mueller report the week after it came out. Barr did not begin to represent it correctly
@Paul
Here’s a detailed list of what trump is being blamed for:
* Trump declined to use the World Health Organization’s test like other nations. Back in January, over a month before the first Co-vid19 case, the Chinese posted a new mysterious virus and within a week, Berlin virologists had produced the first diagnostic test. By the end of February, the WHO had shipped out tests to 60 countries. Oh, but not our government. We declined the test even as a temporary bridge until the CDC could create its own test. The question is why? We don’t know but what to look for is which pharmaceutical company eventually manufactures the test and who owns the stock. Keep tuned.
* In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.
* In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.
* In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.
* Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. Yes, he did.
* The Obama-Biden Administration set up a White House Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefence to prepare for future pandemics like Covid-19. Donald Trump eliminated it.
* Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that responds to public health threats.
* In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.
* Trump left a cruise ship at sea for days, denying them proper hospital care, rather than increase his numbers
* Trump didn’t appoint a doctor to oversee the US response to the pandemic. He appointed Mike Pence.
* Trump didn’t appoint an epidemiologist to oversee testing. He appointed his incompetent son in law.
* Trump still has not put a national testing plan in place or provided a sufficient amount of reliable testing.
* Trump has on multiple occasion’s sowed doubt about the severity of the virus even using the word hoax at events and rallies. He even did it at an event where the virus was being spread. Trump has put out zero useful information concerning the health risks of the virus. We now know he had full knowledge of the seriousness of the virus and how it is transmitted and lied about it.
* Trump pretended the virus had been contained.
*Trump encouraged his supporters to protest stay at home orders and continues to refuse to encourage the public to wear masks in communities where it is essential
* Trump continues to hold super spreading events in the form of large rallies, often in defiance of state guidelines allowing the virus to spread to his supporters and elsewhere.
We do not blame Trump for the virus. We blame him for gutting the nation’s preparations to deal with it. blame him for bungling testing and allowing it to spread uninhibited. We blame him for wasting taxpayer money on applause lines at his rallies (like The Wall). We blame him for putting his own political life over American human life. This is why it will be known as the Trump Pandemic.
@rant404 good for you, they whine, wheres your proof, we cite our sources, they scream fake news, and cut and past some trash from the dark web.
@Paul hmm Any thing trump is going to be rather vague then isn’t it?
@GoT fan 2320 Trumpturds are cultists who are completely resistant to facts.
Get Peter back in the FBI in January!
You are so right, he did nothing wrong but hurt baby bunker boi’s feelings.
Agreed
So apparently its ok to claim as a top FBI operative that you’re going to stop someone from being elected President??? This guy is super crooked just from his text messages alone.
The only reason he was booted is bc he knows too much about Russia.
Great work Peter .. Please don’t stop my friend !
💚🔞🖤🌹
I thought the Mueller Report concluded no collusion.
This is old news being rehashed because Strzok is about to be indicted by the DOJ.
Move along everybody!
Homeless people in UK have better healthcare system than Americans.
Let that sink in, while you figure out why.
@TexTech
Nah.
Other countries can do it and it take 25-40% of earnings by those making wages above the poverty line.
Stop pulling that “60%” number out of Uranus, and throwing it out there.
We could find healthcare if billion $ corporations paid at least 30% in taxes, instead of often times paying almost 0%, while they still make billions in profit.
@LoboKhan1 I agreed in another comment. The 60% is high. If the US tax payer must shoulder the burden of health care costs alone the tax rate might be could we say…alarming..? It is an unknown value at this point. The numbers that have been thrown out for its costs are ..what would you say. extreme..? I came to to this. There are 3 players on the road to free health care. The U.S government, politicans and Corporate America. Good luck getting all of those on the same page.
@TexTech
If Medicare can work as well as it does, so can Medicare for all.
You don’t get anywhere by complaining the road is too difficult .
Americans have pioneered many things.
Are we suddenly too weak willed to lead the way once again?
If other countries can do it and have decent outcomes , there is no reason why we can’t.
Those who cry “socialism!!” at the thought of our tax $$ covering healthcare for all, are usually the ones making huge profits off of the status quo.
@Judy Telles Thanks for the information Judy. One thing about these exchanges is, i do learn. That gives them value to me. Of Note: Trump attempted to ” revamp ” Obamacare “. That would be a program sending federal funds to the States for their discretion with providing health care. It did not pass with even with a Republican majority in Congress. Obamacare is still in place and most likely will be well into the future. Did it ever occur to you how young the United States is in relation to the cultures of Europe.? We are just a baby…give us some time..:)
@TexTech @0@0 Trump asks Supreme Court to AXE Obamacare. That is not a “revamp” as you say and you have already acknowledged that the court tried to declare Obamacare unconstitutional.Yes Obamacare still limps on,it should be made better not destroyed as it helps people to not have to choose between a medical bill or a weekly food shop or the rent,Obama care is compromised in many ways by Trump and people suffer by his cuts to support,he compromises health care for the simple reason that he is jealous of a mixed race man . Your doctors want a national health system for everyone that is equal for all. They want a health care system and ours isnt the best but with that product you could improve it . USA is not a baby country its a world power. But USA should know it is not the only world power . China is the superior world power at this time.
we all know putin owns him .
I thought the Mueller Report concluded no collusion.
This is old news being rehashed because Strzok is about to be indicted by the DOJ.
Move along everybody!
😍💝💓✌
@Peter Bills Bill Barr is going to prison if Democrats win.
@Peter Bills – *Ah, the Russian bought, bot!*
Yep.
Daily Reminder: Trump called Covid-19 a Democrat hoax that will “miraculously” disappear.
He was right when a virus finally runs its course and herd immunity is developed it will go away just like the H1 N1 and it is a hoax as far as the severity of it only 11,000 people have actually died from this virus we know old people die and people with pre-existing conditions but we and we knew they were lying about the numbers we just didn’t know how bad they were lying so Trump was actually right it’ll probably come in about where the flu is maybe even less
💓💓💛
Less than 10,000 actual deaths compared to the 180,000 “cases” reported by the MSM. Trump wins easily.
@John Zaccardi 190,000 dead Americans and counting, Trump is an impeached one term mass murdering failure.
Member how the democrats didn’t want to quarantine China when the outbreak started? They ENCOURAGED the transmission of the virus stateside you morons!! And then used it for their own political gain! And lets talk about how much money Biden and the democrats get from communist China. You people are such blind mindless hypocrites and your willful ignorance is bewildering. Vote for the empty puppet cause he’s not trump while your own party ransacked the country, stoking flames of division and blaming their opponent like children throwing a tantrum. Its like witnessing a nation wide case of Stockholm syndrome.
walks like a duck , looks like a duck , quacks like a duck , ITS NOT A GIRAFFE!
@TexTech Thanks for the comment. At least some of us aren’t taking all this drama too seriously, even if we don’t agree. Be safe. (I suspected you might be a sport from your 6th grade comment. Much respect.)
@TexTech
you’re 2 grades higher than Donald’s academic level.
Congratulations.
@Marlin Williams
I “hear” you secretly replaced Epstein, and now supply the wealthy with under age girls.
Let’s see how many people I can spread what I “heard” to.
See how that works?
If you rely on what you’ve heard, without seeing evidence, you are a perfect mark for Donald’s grifts.
@LoboKhan1 If a 6th grader can read a script without getting lost, what is Joe’s problem.?
@TexTech
If Joe can read twice as well as Donald, and still ride a bike at decent speeds without falling over, what’s Donald’s problem?
Is it purely mental cognitive issues or does Donald suffer from physical ones too?
Biden doesn’t have HUGE battles trying to walk down slightly declining ramps.
Another tell supporting the mini strokes theory.
These Trump connections with Russia should have been an election dealbreaker in 2016!
Everyone needs to remember Mueller said that because of an unwritten rule a sitting President couldn’t be indicted but didn’t say rump was clean and that his investigation was limited in scope. Mueller set it up for congress to complete things which of course led to impeachment. Rump was only left in office because the Senate republicans refused to do their job and remove him for his crimes even though many know he was guilty he wasn’t even censored. Worst of all many rump supporters to this day bought his snake oil elixir of being totally exonerated which was false there’s no hope for them. Some of the same Republican congressman continue to sit by and do or say little about the post office scandal which will affect mail in voting. Again their actions speak louder than words to the point it’s keep the presidency at all costs. Hopefully they will pay in November. If the Senate goes to the democrats it will neutralise rump if he wins if he loses I hope Biden erases all of the harmful things Rump’s done to the country. Also Rump’s and kids will be busy in court trying to keep out of jail so Dump Rump 2020 and never allow any of his family to occupy the White House again.
Peter Bills wrong-Mueller did not conclude there was no collusion. Bucky Beaver Barr SAID that was Mueller’s conclusion. My God, man, listen to the Woodward tapes and the Mary Trump tapes. How can you keep walking around with that t”*rd in your pocket?
@Jeremy Backup he’s also the first president in history to be impeached by one party without one single member of the other party voting to impeach
The Saudi – T rump hotel connection is also suspicious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad0z75BCyFk
Sue Zbell you can bet Jared’s in on that one, too.
And, follow the money trail, to include Rudy Giuliani, Don Jr, etc. If they follow the money trail, the truth will come to light.
No question. Just as Connolly helped Whitey Bulger clear out one set of mobsters to hand Boston to the Irish mob, so did Giuliani make room in New York for the Russian mob.
Barr is the one stopping the investigations!!!
We all see that!!
What’s your opinion of the Mueller Report?
@Peter Bills individual#1 will have a court date!! Barr won’t release the full report to Congress! Fact!
At present this nation is run by the trump crime family.
How can someone look at trump and not know how utterly loathsome and disgusting he is?
It’s insane. Never have I seen a more transparent villain, and yet in spite of this severe handicap he has met with unparalleled success spreading his memetic infection. The dilemma is as tragic as it is perplexing: is it that they cannot see the rot, or do they actively prefer it?
How do you feel when you look at 80 yo mumbly Joe? Great?
Marlin Williams And you think listening to incoherent Trump is better?
@Neems Crassidy
he simply is not a vcillian
Marlin Williams an embalmed Biden would be a better, safer President than the mobster, Donald Trump. If you won’t acknowledge that, you’re an accessory to Trump’s malfeasance .
Voting is like driving. Use the R if you want to go backwards and use the D to go forward.
@oltedders
Not if a plantation is like the ‘State’, where the State owns all the capital including the property and the laborers.
Trump seems to want to be the landlord, employer, medical and scientific advisor, spiritual leader, political ideologist, logistics supervisor, and the only company store in town. I do not disagree about odd analogies though it’s hard to get past the idea that Trump himself is an OxyMoron. (Just saying it like, it is what it is.) Vote if you can, unless you live on a communist plantation. ✌
Democrat is 5 steps forward and 100 back. Republican is balanced
Velvet Fog
great analogy haha
@Tom Graves
Go read a book on political systems and learn what Communism is.
@oltedders Yea okay, any recommendations?
But first if you could spend 13 minutes to watch this interview and story about Donald from 1999 by Dan Rather, and let me know how you believe he has changed.
https://youtu.be/hhfWFDdyWBE
Simply put, Rod Rosenstein squashed the counter-intelligence investigation to cover for the Trump. Obstruction of Justice. Put him in jail for treason,.
Gid you’re stupud
Rod Rosenstein is the Silent Traitor of the United States of America
NOBODY EVER investigated Trump’s personal and business ties to Russia, to THIS DAY!!!
I’m sure this is why he refuses to make his tax returns and financial documents available.
SPOT ON.
Trump was doing business all over the world before he ran for office …. Are u saying he should cease and leave all
And still no Russian collusion.
@Thurston howe the 3rd : hey ‘the ‘, go away and learn to spell.
@snowflake killer winners at the special olympic’s
TRump willingly conspired with a hostile foreign country to steal the Election in 2016 & 2020, and tried to with Ukraine for 2020. He is a TRAITOR.
Russian asset in the White House, destroying America from within!
And on the cheap.
Red-Baiter.
@Bif Webster A bit behind the times aren’t we, the red Russian state disintegrated with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1989, 31 years ago and with it the red menace. Putin’s Russia is widely regarded in this world as a Mafia State, a criminal state, which fits perfectly with the US’s presently criminal President Donald Trump who has been financed by Russia for at least 20 years as his son freely admitted.
