Trump Surprises With Outreach Abroad To Subvert US Intelligence | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Trump is a pathetic man. Put him in front of me, and I’ll say it to his face: He is a coward.
and Lord Emperor Trump would smack you down Roy Batty, like the nothing that you are and ever will be.
@m_train Gaming Oh go back to your ‘gaming’ little boy.
Larinda Nomikos pick up some midol on the way home. Your whatever will appreciate it
And now that it’s come out that Spanky admitted Russian interference and approved of it the Republicans are even more desperate to scream “NO COLLUSION”.
@Banned B!!!! You don’t need to add an apostrophe when simply pluralizing a word: idiots
@Phillip Ridgway tell me what happens when this goes to the Senate??🤣🤣🤣🖕
@Chard O’Mania that’s all you have left? Grammar Nazi’s!
@alton gifford the left has more in common with the Nazi’s than America!
Derapaska got UNSANCTIONED by Moscow Mitch and Minuchin. The GOP are UTTERLY corrupt and totally untrustworthy.
We can use a nice new aluminum plant here in Ohio too. Come on Mr. Portman (Ohio Senator (R)) support your prez (tRump) get us some of that Russian oligarch $$$$$$$$$$$$ “”
=====Maga challenge compilation MUST SEE!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yilqfPHKtwA
Have you honesltly drank that much koo-laid?.. You guys are trying to pin something on TRUMP that Biden and his kid did.. It’s hilarious that you’re that far gone.
You guys are gonna lose another election my friend. Let’s try and at least get along..
TREASON!!!! They don’t care where they get $$$from.
But the problem is. That simply isnt true. Thats just a fantasy you and other deranged leftists repeat to yourselves. Do you remember Russian collusion?
Mr. Ambassador, do you think Trump, does care with regards to a foreign policy?! Its obvious though, he’s not for the Americans security but for his own personal good, he is obsessed with the power he has now..
Or whatever dirt Putin has on him personally!?
Kersen but I don’t understand he got black unemployment lowest in history Mexican unemployment lowest in history he lowered your taxes he rebuilt the military to protect you better massive pedophile and child trafficking rondups and you say turmp Olney caris about power something dosent make sense her you fool turmp 2020baby
How do you arrive at that conclusion when he is building our wall that was promised during the Reagan administration. That he is asking NATO members to pay their fair share of the bills for defense rather than leaving it to the American taxpayers to foot the cost of being prepared.
@Darrin Myers He did not do anything our economy was going when he ripped off the election with Russia help look at all his advisers that are now Americans that worked for Russia. Unemployment for everyone went down because of economy the Obama fixed not trump. We are the only super power in the we did not need any more just updated areas. Your not American you don’t know what us the best is our love for all people trump is a bigot and con man. Him and his family are crook’s learn more about us before you comment 🇺🇸🇵🇷
Been asking my self
What does Russia wants in exchange for the info
Because nothing is free huh trump
@Craig64 Ugh, they can keep it.
-45’s agenda was to help Putin expand Russian land by bringing America to it’s knees . Where are you going to run now -45 ? You’re such a fool and you have failed once again. What’s it like to be a life long loser?

He has put more sanctions on russia and hasn t lifted one…another straight lie from Rachel….

Cnbc article read it people ….takes 5 minutes to prove she is lying…
Not sure. Sadly whether I trust Australia. Our prime minister seems enamoured with trump. Grr. Makes one sick.
Lyn W at least you have some standards 🙂
Non Ozzies should not trust us and those that do deserve whatever we do to them. Murdoch is a horror and they let him in.
Amazing – Trump is conspiring with foreign intelligence agencies to remove the US states ability to defend itself from hostile foreign espionage.
Wow.
@David M so Windmills DO cause Cancer, You DO need ID to buy cereal, we DID liberate the airports from the Brits in 1776, Mars IS part of the moon? You trumpers are MORONS!
IF you believe a mad cow.
@James Madison she is a RHODES SCHOLAR! Her Professor never said “he was the dumbest GD student I ever had”! Donald Trump Was the Dumbest Goddam Student I Ever Had.
https://www.dailykos.com › story › 2017/10/12 ›
Oct 12, 2017 – Late Professor William T. Kelley taught Marketing at Wharton School of Business and Finance, University of Pennsylvania, for 31 years, ending with his retirement in 1982. … Professor Kelley told me 100 times over three decades that “Donald Trump was the dumbest goddam student I …
Cry, but the problem is that simply isnt true. 🙁
Trumpty dumpty wanted a wall!
Trumpty dumpty had a great fall!
VOTE BLUE in 2020
@Hudson Hawk I’D VOTE FOR ANYONE that can’t be Trump…
across the board no room Republicans anymore they all must go.VOTE BLUE SAVE OUR democracy
Donald Trump 2020
Tucker Carlson 2024
Its kind of a warm irony if Biden spoke the words . ” He tried to nail me on a Trumped up charge”!!
Wait for it. Evidence and facts will soon prove that the Biden family is probably one of the most corrupt in Washington. Right up there in the corrupt hall of fame where the Clintons have always been the supreme attraction.
I wonder why msnbc isn’t showing the picture of joe and hunter Biden golfing in the Hamptons with Burisma Holdings executives
*4:17** When he says that Oleg Deripaska invested in Kentucky, that “investment” was in bribes to Mitch McConnell.*
It was MOSCOW Mitch only way to save face with his constituents
No kidding, even a 3rd grader could see the connection. But, then again we are dealing with only 2nd graders in the White House.
Philosopher of Nonsense In March 2016, then-Vice President Biden told Ukraine’s then-President Petro Poroshenko that the Eastern European nation would not get a $1 billion U.S. government loan guarantee unless it fired Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma Holdings — a natural gas extraction company whose board of directors included Hunter Biden, the veep’s son.
@Hildebeast Clinton You carefully avoided adding the truth which is “if Ukraine’s leaders did not dismiss the country’s top prosecutor, who had been accused of turning a blind eye to corruption in his own office and among the political elite.”
Try reading the news, not the tabloids like Faux Noise Entertainment.
@Hildebeast Clinton – you forgot the part that lots of countries wanted the corrupt prosecutor removed. Please do some real research before coming on the grownup channels.
Trump’s literally waging a war on reality. Orwell would fall down and puke if he were alive today.
@Crystal Giddens FFS. Get your lithium quick
@Mind Freshener you’re another lithium deficient womble. Read some real stuff for a change. The bile ghouliani is regurgitating is just that. Bile.
Mind Freshener It was an effort togeather with Europe, to help fight corruption in Ukraine. Corruption eats a democracy from within. That’s why Russia need it there.
ps. And he, Shokin, wasn’t poking in the company Hunter Biden was involved in. So no need to stop him in that context. Nice try, though.
🤔 SMELLS Like Trump is a Russian Asset! 🤮
BIFF NAKED Great job at showing sexism, if you want people to not be against Republicans Thinking that they’re sexist bigots and racist, those of you comment saying things like that aren’t making any good points for yourselves if you know what I mean…so don’t say something about calling her cute, that’s pretty rude unless you were gorgeous and actually knew her…But, everyone’s allowed their own opinion on here. So, mine is, that sir is rude. But I was raised to always say this Regardless if someone’s opinion is different than mine, and that is to say, Have a blessed day.
What were they talking about when they kicked everyone out of the room probably Ukraine was high on the list
@Earl Gray You may not know it but you are supporting the overthrow of your own government. Your corrupt leaders have brainwashed you to believe Trump is illegitimate. In doing so, they have convinced people like you to go along with their corrupt coup attempt. Wake up!
Only if you listen to these crazy news casters on CNN and MSNNBC! They want you to believe in these exCIA contributors who are confirmed COMMUNIST to give you the truth?
Much collusion so much obstruction confirmed, in the end, hey they were right
Except the opposite of that.
Not only should everyone vote, everyone should also email your congressman and senator and demand the impeachment of Trump. Especially if they are a Republican. My wife and I have several times.
@Leonard Washington you should open your eyes.
Do i get those easily online?
@Freewheelin’ Franklin move to Russia why dont you?
Lori Packer Open your own eyes and stop regurgitating the lies that the filthy mainstream media keeps shoveling down your hole
@Freewheelin’ Franklin 👈 squirt gun don’t count kiddo.
Why is the Attorney General doing what the Secretary of State should normally be doing?, am I missing something here
No, you’re not missing something. Trump is playing crazy chess with what he considers to be his chess pieces.
Corruption
haha, I would love to see Trump play a game of chess, in that he’d probably both not know how and try to cheat.
And they are trying to get us to believe that Ukraine interfered with the election. Anything for Putin
@Saltponds239
MAGAT
Make America Great Again Trump
DROP DEAD
@Saltponds239 Muellers position and the law’s that govern his authority prevented him from saying and doing a lot. This is why it is now up to CONGRESS TO DO THEIR JOB
@hodaka1000 I love it – God bless OUR PRESIDENT
@Mae Gary So what are you worried about? Trump and Rudy are doing what Mueller should have done. Don’t you want to know if there was meddling in the 2016 election by foreign governments?
The Republican Congresspeople have taken a lot of corrupt money from Russia. This explains their blind devotion to Trump. They must be exposed and fired.
It’s the Senate not congress
Barr should be relieved of his duty as ag IMMEDIATELY. His actions shows how dishonest and irresponsible he is. He should also be put in prison.
Barr is getting close – I like it.
Barr is about to reveal the corruption of the Democrats. You can smell the desperation from the dems and the complicit media!
Does Barr even know who he works for? Does he “actually” know he is the countries AG?
@Rod Allen OK Rod, of course he is. I guess he’s just building up the tension like the riveting performer he is. So what is this corruption he’s going to reveal ? Biden has been funding the Taliban ? Pelosi is working for Kim Jong Un ? What is it Rod ? I can’t wait to hear whatever moronic theory you have
well really, after Helsinki is this any surprise
@David M
Trump accepted Putins explanation after a private meeting in which our translators weren’t allowed to be in said meeting. This after ALL of the intelligence agencies comprising ALL Trump appointees said otherwise. The abject stupidity needed to be a Trumper is STAGGERING.
@Freewheelin’ Franklin I would say the ignorance of wanting a communist witch like Hillary is even more idiotic than can be described. Obviously your knowledge only goes as far as the brainwash news.
@Freewheelin’ Franklin Your perception is laughable. If you think you can read minds now, you’re as ignorant as Ralph Madcow.
@David M
Hahahaha, A Trumper accusing anyone of being brainwashed. I can’t stop laughing at the irony. I wish we were having this conversation in person, so I could point at you & laugh.
It like the book, “what ever trump touches dies.”
He certainly killed Obunghole’s fraudulent legacy
@Leonard Washington – who?
You know, Lord Broke Back (44)
I have to buy that!
Watch as he “touches” the deep state
