Trump Hush Money Case Seen In New Light After New Reports On Barr | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
i am not holding my breath that he‘ll leave : Shameless all of them.
We are in the Grip of Evil now. I can hear goose-stepping boot heels marching down Main Street, USA.
I agree! Very scary!
Yes and the Democrats are the ones in the boots doing the goose stepping.
@Brian Jungen Dems started the clan! Dem wanted slaves when the republicans said NO. Facts don’t matter when you hate a man cause you have nothing to do. SHEEP!!
Can William Bar be prosecuted for corruption? I feel he is doing this because he feels untouchable. The law should apply to every one equally.
Hapu Msonda Moscow Mitch makes Barr untouchable.
@Orion Wyler that is true. I do hope they all get prosecuted and lose all the money they have gotten from being corrupt .
Barr like criminal Trump can also be impeached.
The next legitimate AG had better investigate & charge Donny for every crime. There’s no moving on until justice is served.
@Cynthia Gonzalez He’s acquitted forever. The funny thing is that if all the facts are construed in their worst possible way. He still hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s done Cindy and you are richer for it. Cheery-O
Unfortunately Democrats are not known to be aggressive contrary to the GOP. Pelosi with George Bush too nice or too stupid?
@Jeannine DeRoma you need to study some history. President Jackson the founder of the Democratic party was responsible for trail of tears, Democrats tried to rip the country in half to keep their slaves, after they lost the war they implemented Jim Crow, Woodrow Wilson caused the resurgence of the KKK, LBJ famously said “i’ll have those n***as voting democrat for the next 200 years”
And look it up. The first ever Black Congressmen?? Republicans.
Not to mention “Antifa” the mask wearing, “cement milkshake” throwing, bike-lock hurtling, mask-wearing thugs.
Closest thing to Mussolini’s Blackshirts or Hitler’s Brownshirts that exist today.
Trump manipulates so many people to bend to his will. He targets their vulnerabilities and grooms them and bullies them. Up is down and down is up.
This bs needs to get called out and changed I am so sick of the orange one and friends getting away with crimes again and again. How will we ever get accountability?
the rot didn’t start with trump – he’s just a symptom
we are watching the complete and total corruption of US Democracy into Oligarchal Authoritarianism. our economic system holds all the power over our political system, and the ultra rich have seized power through corruption. RIP USA.
The USA is not dead. The people could rise up, but I guess talking about things and mourning the end of a once great nation prematurely are easier.
What Barr and everyone else should remember is that Dumpster will throw ANYONE under the bus to stay out of trouble.
He’s a traitorous lying coward who will stab everyone in the back
@karl smith for sure
Mr.Howard s.
A) 45# will just say the following.
(1)I never knew him (2) I never met him(3)I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM.
B) THE press will then confront him with video clips and photos of trump himself ,hanging out with,and laughing with ,…. the specific persons named.
C)Trump will look at the ground for 6 seconds,then look back up and say,you are FAKE NEWS, NEXT QUESTION .
D) the alleged fake news will continue showing the video clips and photos (national TV) of the persons identified ,and trump will keep saying,I NEVER MET HIM.
@Aliel Jorax 😄😄😄
This behavior of Trump has Barr nervous. He is sloppy and has a loose mouth .
@karl smith copy that. He blamed his kids when he was caught embezzling from the NY charity with HIS NAME on it.
ME: Hey SDNY, blink if you have gun to head
SDNY: Has not stopped blinking since October 2019.
donal Drumpf has been breaking laws for decades with the only consequence being his having to write a check.
At the beginning he wanted to meet with people one on one to snatch their loyalty remember James Comey
NIXON:”I am not a crook”!
TRUMP AND THE GOP:
“We are all crooks! So what! get over it”!😝
@J R and Trump, don’t forget Trump.
@J R right.
@Last Free Apache I was gonna suggest paragraph breaks and correct use of upper and lower case type, but even that will not rescue your disjointed, rambling, rant…
I think it is time for your meds…
I know that after reading that mush, I need some headache pills…
@Fred A Thank you for pointing out the obvious silliness of his long-winded, disjointed, rant…
Barr never released all information on Mueller report!! Somewhere their has to be justice!!! Our Democracy will not survive!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The US is not a democracy, it’s an oligarchy.
All the people going to jail except the Main ORANGE DUDE Sounds like MAFIA At It’s GREATEST
Manuel Martinez a pure TRAITOR
How about that Black guy. Obama. Hangem high
@Anthony S2K04
We need stop & frisk, cash bail and mandatory abortion for all females on public assistance. We need to put all incarcerated felons to work on the most dangerous unpleasant jobs. We’re paying $50K a year for them sodomize each other and run gangs.
Shortly after Barr went to the prison where Epstein was being detained, he was also abruptly stopped. 🧐🧐🧐
Lotusblume, kinda makes you wanna say…hmmmmmmm?
I’ll say this again, I don’t think Rachael Maddow and myself would agree on too much. However her work on bringing Trump’s BS to light has been amazing.
Well balanced observation and perspectives… standing ovations )))
She is fantastic! I agree! Read ,”The Plot to Betray America,” by Malcolm Nance. He confirms what Trump is doing and confirms what Rachael Maddow has discovered. Both have my utmost respect for their phenomenal minds and analytical investigatory abilities! Wouldn’t it be great to have people like these two in our government instead of Putin’s asset, Donald Trump!

Suzy Q primaries now… 🗳 now and 11/3/2020
This makes me sick, and I’m not even from America.
@Matty Mck Wheres yours??
@Be Free I dont need to prove it, innocent until proven guilty.
@Matty Mck easy to say when you rig the trial…
@Be Free like roger stones?
@Matty Mck lol please he been a crook bout time he got caught. I suppose next youre going to bring up the child molester Epstein
This is what’s so funny
They telling us but the government know all this..
No arrest, and trump still in office. “Listen people”
They all work together!!!!!
It’s just a game to them.
Effective i agree.To much talking and nothing.Shame
Curtis Alexander I believe there are many investigations going on, behind the curtains. I am sure the Dems in the house are on it, but with BARR so involved it can’t be broadcasted or it will be shut down.
I will celebrate AG Barr’s 1st day in Prison!!
BERNIE is the only Candidate tough enough, smart enough and committed to the people enough to turn this sinking ship around.
🔥🔥🔥
@Old Heathen 100% for the people..
Trumpty Dumpty!!! What can I bring to help? I would love to be there. Trump will go down in history but nothing like the way he has dreamed of or has lied about in his rallies, tweets or in his deranged brain.
I hope so!
Clint Harlin
What the heck are you talking about? Don’t get it at all?!?
