Trump And Ukraine: How Did We Get Here? | On Assignment with Richard Engel | MSNBC

  1. Giuliani’s “proof” of Biden corruption was cooked up by indicted Putin oligarch, Dmytro Firtash who DiGenova and Toensing went to work for at “coincidentally” the same time the DOJ seems to have stopped their fight to have Firtash extradited from Vienna where “coincidentally” Rudy, Igor and Lev were all about to fly to when the FBI arrested the 2.

    1. No wonder William Barr met with Rupert Murdoch. My theory is that Fox News faces potential legal jeopardy as a co-conspirator. Trump is toast but Fox News is still needed by Republicsns for propaganda after Trump is gone.

      Joe DeGenova and Victoria Teonsing should get honorable mentions in the Giuliani-Firstash plots. They deny everything but I suspect they used the Two Stooges as thugs.

  2. My question which hasn’t been answered yet is why does he care so much for this information.Why isn’t he concerned with current events, he won the election move on. If he’s so concerned with corruption why not have our intelligence depts review it.

    1. ALS , syphilis or some other mental problem I’d guess… or just a way of keeping his trump chumps stirred up with hatred.

    2. He will never move on. He lost the popular vote and only won because russia helped him and his ego can’t let go of it. Even grasping at these crazy conspiracy theories just for egos sake.

    3. He will never go to the FBI or CIA since he is committing crimes. He knows exactly what he is doing. He milks the presidency to enrich himself and has no intention of letting that golden goose evade him. Simple as that.

    4. I think one reason is his need to absolve Russia from involvement so he can find a reason to remove Russian sanctions which is extremely important for his master Putin. He sent the US attorney general around the world on the tax payer dime chasing a debunked conspiracy theory that would put the blame on the Ukraine and the Democrats. He’s delusional and this whole thing stinks of corruption.

  3. Trump made a career out of corruption before becoming POTUS. This is the pot calling the kettle black. Except the pot is lying about corruption – the kettle was never black.

  4. the fact that he did not go thru official channels to do this investigation means he was more likely looking for dirt to blackmail Biden with rather than expose corruption – and the Ukranian president sure sounds more like a loyal servant than a president

  5. This Is the Same Man Who Attacked Black Football Players for Taking a Knee Calling Them UnAmericans to Rally People Against Them. Yet It’s Him Who Is Selling the 🇺🇸 Out To Russia Along With His Other Shady Dealings.

  6. What I love about that theory, is that it’s based on the notion that they hacked the DNC and released damaging information about Hillary which inevitably caused her to lose the election in an attempt to help her win. It what universe does that make any sense?

  7. In short, Trump is fooked. I like the way MSNBC did this though. So easy to follow, even Trump fans might actually understand it.

  8. Trump looking into 2016 “corruption” in the election in the Ukraine sounds a lot like when OJ Simpson said he was going to find “the real killer.”

  9. 3:20 Laugh Out Loud, now I see. LOL you actually laugh out loud when reading a funny joke like that Russia was somehow, the victim. Eastern Europe has some insight on Russian honor.

  10. When you read trump’s words… He is speaking like a retarted person.Its amazing to me that con man decieved America and became president.
