Trump NSA Cuts Short Official Europe Trip With Wife After Russian Hack Discovered | Rachel Maddow
The Russians hacking into U.S. treasury? How else would Trump pay his debt to Putin for the 2016 election?
@Alfred Basurto absolutely agree. Wonder how long we would last at our jobs if we decided to just do nothing. No daily briefings???? He doesn’t care about the security of this country. Give him the boot….NOW. Surely, we cannot be afraid if hurting his feelings. Let’s not forget…he doesn’t have any.
After I read this statement it was easy for me to see what happens when sisters and brothers make a baby together lol intelligent people are one thing but common sense is totally needing a comeback
πEcactly!
You took the words right out of my mouth.
Either that or Rob the FEDERAL RESERVE!
Trump was planning something huge, fortunately He got those tiny little hands π
Stuck in the cookie jar. π
Gee i wonder if Trump was hoping to have all documents that will be incriminating disappear magically.
“I’m sorry, but that information is under audit”…./s
Gary D: Do you really need to wonder? I would take your comment as fact.
Most likely that was what he was hoping for but his boss Putin has no further use for him so Putin will through him under the bus as Rump does to all people when he is done with them what a guy two peas in a pod they deserve each other, most likely Rump will move to Russia now that his work is done in America.
Joh wow

oh yes
@Ernest B – Our CIA would never let him move there. His plane would disappear over the ocean like Amelia Earhart. His Secret Service detail will follow him for many, many years whether he (or they) like it or not. Unless he ends up in prison then I don’t know:)
they say nothing because they gave putin the key. burning down the house
@Paula Lewis It blows my mind too.
@Pedro Daniel Lopes Ferreira I’m sure it will be awful
@Bot Assasin In Moscow Russia 2018 after the mundial football,Putin and Trump as well have a meeting together alone. Except the translator no one was in the room,even Pence and Lavrove were outside, for one hour.
After Putin gave the ball of 2018 mudial to Melania as a gift.
It was the most embarrassing
moments for all the world.
Or maybe was in Elsinki Finland,i don’t remember well.
@ΞΞΞΣ΀ΞΞ£ΞΞ ΞΞΞΞΞΞ ΞΞ₯ΞΞΞ₯ that’s why he acted like he did. Changing key players to side by him on the supreme court, starting to spread doubt and fear on the electoral system, and ultimately downplaying the virus to keep the economy afloat.
I’m still blown away when I see people, average Americans, still supporting him. But I get it! They have been fed a diet of conspiracy theories, fear and distress over the past 4 years…
@Pedro Daniel Lopes Ferreira Yes you have right,i followed Trump’s campaign from 2015,i find him dangerous for USA,i was sure that he never done that things who said in his campaign but he did even more.
I am European and i couldn’t understand why most republicans still following him after 4 years who never did anything good, especially with Covid.
They follow him like a god, they said that he is the better president of USA.
So brainwashed million morons are dangerous.
In this stage I believe that they are more mempers of the cult than republicans.
Trump’s Administration is a Shame for the country…..
@TheChiefEng Biden is for open borders and Biden supporters live in make believe land where open borders are great because everyone has good intentions!
@Andrew Ulanowski report dementia joe for spam.
@Dementia Joe This is likely another Russian trying to influence American politics like back in 2016. #nukeMoscow
Dr. Jill Biden on minority students:
“Many minority students lack basic skills such as identifying the main idea and supporting statements, identifying parts of speech or using punctuation correctly…”
That’s funny that the wife of a Democratic Party leader is systemically RASCIST…I wonder what her thoughts are on the Gate’s Family Eugenics program???

@Engage360 and?
Trump and Putin have the codes.
Goh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
Those code changes every day
@Dana Herron lol π
@Mo Byron I hope so.
Soon Joe and China will…π±
RIGHT AFTER tRump fires the cybersecurity chief.
Interesting timing that…..
@Mark Fukkerberg I believe it.
Do YOU all know what having a truly godless comedic feminist Schadens-Freude looks like? When one of the most megalomanic delusional racist fascist twits wannabe theocratic Banana Republican state begins to get hammered and outright destroyed from within by its own massively accumulated Cyber weapons and it’s other delusional weaponry.
And then certainly when it finally proves that a mere disgruntled high school girl was behind the whole cyber takedown of the richest corrupt military nation!
You’ll all see that bigly Schaden-Freude in my face just in that Moment! π

@Alicia Espinosa Well actually Putinβs plan.

As an American, I am embarrassed by our “SECUIRTY IDIOTS” This administration is a clown car of failures.
The POSTCARD of failures!
Wait til you find out you been lied to your whole life…Dayum you gonna be em-bare-assed!

@Worm dude, MLK never said that… you are just vomiting faux lines already proven lies. Do your self a favour Darius, go have some fun in the barn with you hunt/sister/cousin Mary Jay, and then go have a beer with the boy’s to the town’s bar.
I bet security knew but we’re under Trump’s orders to keep it quiet lest they be fired
This whole administration hasn’t cared about the people, this pox starts with trump and his Grifter family.
This doesn’t surprise anyone.
Standard operations from administration…
Trump is always quiet when it comes to Russia , and he accuses everyone else of being in cahoots with them
Exactly…. Typical reverse psychology card Diaper Don has been using since 2016.
@Z Makaveli And his Base still thinks he won the election. I don’t get it π
The only time he is quiet. More’s the pity.
@Paula Lewis yeap ππ their level of delusion is outta this realm & it’ll actually hurt any sane person’s brain just thinking about it.
@Z Makaveli I’m starting to think these people are π½π€
OBrien is another taker, like his boss.
Mike Pompeo has been doing this since he appointed to lead the State Department. Oh, and he has been running for President at the same time.
Foh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
we should bill these leeches for the expenses.
@Charles R Agree 100%.
Imagine what trump paying him.
The trump administration probably trying to hide what they have stolen from the American people and they blamed hackers.
Thank YOU
Zoh yes
https://youtu.be/zFJ2AN_CZH8
oh wow
Bingoπ
This is why they’re not willing to give us money to help Americans to pay their bills or buy food. I get 16.00$ a month for 2 people.(say hello romaine Noddles π€)
@Kathy Crabtree This is a Shame Kathy
Silent…that’s because everyone in this administration was yelling “Fore” at Mud Lago.
π Did you see where Florida citizens living around Mar-a-Lago have reminded tRump that he CAN’T turn Mud Lago into his private residence now? Seems like tRump shoots himself in the foot so regularly that he can’t even feel it when he does it anymore. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/530417-neighbors-stress-trump-cant-live-at-mar-a-lago-after-leaving-white
@Just Me that’s because they now he will run their neighborhood into the ground like he ran the country.
Did you say Treasury? Let me see, Trump+Russia = American Taxpayers Money.
No brainier
For sure Russians are trying to hide any traces of their dealings with Trump.
trump knew Russia were in the process of hacking us that’s why he wouldn’t let Biden get intelligence briefings,he didn’t want him to interfere.
A3
Who would have guessed at this stage that anyone in Trump’s administration would have to do some work for their grifting?
I’m surprised O’Brien actually pretended that he cared about this.
The Trump crime syndicate have no shame…..
Deplorables every one of them.
Russia if you’re LISTENING, PLEASE release Trump’s tax returns!!!!!
This is not just incompetence.
Someone left a door open for the Russians.
