  1. All this talk about Alexander Downer being a ‘Deep State agent’ LOL. That guy is a right wing politician people. Don’t fall for the orange cool-aid talking points.

    1. @Ianthe Oates Well said … Australia DOESN’T need any favours and we do consider Russia a hostile country, exactly right and the sooner the US rids itself of this scumbag the better. How could people still believe a single word from this known criminal??

    2. Let me tell you about Downer. He is a UK sycophant. He has form on this sort of stuff. He was the minister of trade during the Australian Wheat Boards fuel for food scandal. He also signed the paperwork for a 25 million dollar donation to the Clinton Foundation. As the Australian High Commissioner for the UK I find it absurd that he would want to meet Papadopolous considering at the time Clinton was expected to win the election. This arsehole wouldn’t meet anyone unless they had a knighthood.Since my taxes pays for this morons luxury lifestyle in the UK I want him to start telling the truth about this meeting. I don’t care who the U.S candidate was. They need to order this fool home and put him under oath in front of a parliamentary committee.

    1. ​@Mark Benson Unfortunately Trump’s favorite book is “On the ORANGES of species ” By Chuck Dar-WIN, (not Dar-lose). Seems captain bone-spurs’ malignant narcissism is mal-adapted to survive the core tenets of the constitution thusly pressed by those that ARE fit to serve. The Aussie PM knows which side his bread is buttered. Praise Be !

    2. @EXTRA DIMENSION Unfortunately for you, TRUMP wins 2020 in a landslide!!! I can’t wait to vote for TRUMP again!

  2. At the very least, Barr & Giuliani should be disbarred. 🤔 Losing their licenses to practice law might not phase them, though. They’ve not actually practiced anything legal in years…

    1. But……….history will remember them in a bad way. Maybe they’ll be proud of it though. Snakes don’t care

    1. @Jerel Boza
      And you would believe Jussie Smollett!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣 Fucking American leftist Walmart shopping gullible sheep

    2. @kineticdeath
      Fake news Jussie Smollett believer, he was talking about ms13, you American leftist Walmart shopping gullible sheep will believe anything!! Send the link were Trump directly calls them names. I’m not American and I’ve seen the whole video and he was talking about MS-13 gang members you American twit

  3. Everybody knew this! Why the surprise? The orange traitor has always been corrupt and crooked. Everybody knew him, even the RepubliKLANs, and they still helped him to be elected. All shame and guilt is in the RepubliKLANs and the “evangelicals”.

  4. “Stick around while a clown who is sick, does a trick of disaster”_from ‘Mr. Soul’ by Neil Young & The Buffalo Springfield. As true today as it was then.

  5. Why didn’t he ask the European intelligence agencies to help with his enquiry?

    Because it was European intelligence agencies that discovered his associates having meetings with Russian agents in cities across Europe, that’s why!

  6. If it looks like a swamp, smells like a swamp, withholds military aid from Ukraine until they agree to help dig up dirt on political opponents like a swamp…

    Impeach and remove the swamp….

    1. Exactly, that is the result of mainstream media outrage culture. Apparently they want us angry and if you’re not angry then your the bad guy hence probably why people feel obligated to fight the “bad guy” but idk maybe people generally just suck and don’t want to engage in dialogue because you it’s the YouTube comment section.. 🤷‍♂️

    2. Dude, the military aid you talk about was ALREADY DELIVERED BEFORE THE PHONE CALL. wake up man, everything the democrats been telling you is a lie.

    1. Trump was investigating corruption. Democrats have not been investigated for illegal spying on a political campaign or foreign collusion with the Clinton campaign, Fusion GPS or the Department of Justice for election fraud. Only a maroon would obstruct justice for all. Democrats are those maroons.

  7. In light of all this, Moscow Mitch’s footdragging on anti-interference legislation is starting to look really bad.

    1. @T McAuliffe Our most powerful senator from our fifth poorest state, in the era of Citizens United. What could go wrong?

    1. @Robert Clawson Fark dude if America doesn’t stop endlessly investigating every last fucking stupid rumor the Chinese will simply buy what’s left as you dickheads simply argue yourselves into irrelevance. Clinton LOST – she’s gone and done and dusted over finished – pick whatever word you fucking want and move on. The worst thing America has done is give the world this whole fucking new realm of toxic politics that has crippled everything.
      MIT just released a report stating that at least 70 countries have been systematically attacked by FAKE and misleading news with the 2 main culprits being China and Russia. Facebook is the main place they do it.

    2. @Brian Groove is a MAGA troll. What a sad person you must be pretending to come OZ. Aussie has too many syllables.

    1. They have been digging and making up dirt on Trump he asks about a shady deal Biden did now we should impeach,,,,classic TDS

    2. @Commander Comrade Putin …. Yeah it looks like their “plan” came together (again), but I don’t think you’re going to love it quite as much when you realize exactly what their plan has been all along. Obviously they’ve manipulated and mislead you for quite a while now (just as they planned). If you honestly love that, then you’re definitely right where you belong. Carry on there buddy, at this point you’re just another part of the entertainment to the rest of us and the rest of the world. But I’ll leave you with a bit of advice that you could no doubt benefit from knowing. You need to take those sunglasses off and start seeing things in the light, cause you’re obviously missing a lot by wearing them! Good luck buddy ….
      🙂

    3. Randy Gamble well i think this is exactly Russia’s grand plan to destroy democracy little by little. you can see that it is starting to crumble.

    4. @Hmmm Yep, could it be possible they foresaw or even wanted the scandal to come out? This is an intelligence war between the CIA and former KGB (which likely still exists).
