In a Beat special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber delivers the definitive report on impeachment evidence against President Trump in the historic hearings. From all witnesses confirming the Ukraine plot, to analyzing new quid pro quo bribery evidence, to why Ambassador Sondland is the “John Dean” of the Trump probe, and how these witnesses’ self-incriminating statements are more credible than past denials, which Melber explains by applying Eminem to a hearsay exception. Aired on 11/22/19.

'Trump's Nightmare': See The New Bribery Receipts Fueling Impeachment | MSNBC
Nunes looked like he was about to lose his lunch.
@edd saw He Should Take Trump With Him ! They Can Resign Together
DENISE BELL No No. it would’nt be fair for Michael Cohen and Manafort to have a vacation behind bars without there boss.
Of course, NOT ONE of the “witnesses” PROVED quid pro quo Bribery!! In fact, they PROVED nothing that hurts Our Champion and Chief!! All testimony and documentation was HERESAY or conjecture, which are NOT admissible in a court-of-law!! What a complete waste of time!! The DEMS know this, but they are using negative soundbites to HAMMER Trump.
What? Lol.
Now we know why….
Sondland did not want to pay a million dollars for a ticket straight into jail. Ofcourse he choose to speak truth, finally.
But his supporters don’t care. This is how democracy dies.
@Intercat hear, hear 👍✌️🌊
“I cannot tell a lie.” – George Washington “I cannot tell the truth.” – Donald Trump “I cannot tell the difference.” – Republicans
We just put trump in the white house and he’ll destroy America for us.” Vladimir Putin
“Foreign Policy is an Impeachable Offense”.

@Dave Schultz – Barr is up to his nose in corruption with trump. He’s long been known as a crooked lawyer, and now he’s sucking a tiny orange mushroom to prove it.
@Richard Wicks – Did you listen to Robert Mueller publicly speak about his report? Here, give a listen and see if you can get cued into reality.
Listen from the 0:45 mark where Mueller clearly states “If we had confidence Trump did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”

Further, Volume II of the report addresses obstruction of justice. The investigation intentionally took an approach that could not result in a judgment that Trump committed a crime,[17][18][19] abiding by an Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion that a sitting president cannot stand trial,[20][21][22] fearing that charges would affect Trump’s governing and preempt impeachment,[18][21][23] and feeling that it would be unfair to accuse Trump of a crime without charges or a trial.[20][21][24] As such, the investigation “does not conclude that the President committed a crime”; however, “it also does not exonerate him”,[25][26] with investigators not confident of Trump’s innocence.[27][28][29][30] *The report describes ten episodes where Trump could have obstructed justice while president and one before he was elected,[31][32] noting that he privately tried to “control the investigation”.* [33][34][35] The report further states that Congress can decide whether Trump obstructed justice and take action accordingly,[18][36][37] referencing impeachment.

Trump’s speech notes look like they were written by a 6 year old.
Dementia has that effect. It regresses your cognitive ability. Trumps dementia is worsening.
Many English words Donkey Trump is unable to spell.
Note that he is incapable of spelling the Ukrainian PM’s name, signaling a lack of regard for others and an inability to complete any task correctly.
Losers For Trump his notes WERE WRITTEN BY A 6 YEAR OLD!
As long as trump is the potus the usa has nothing. No clout, no respect, no credibility. The usa does have the world laughing at them tho.
@Tessmage Tessera Re: Mr. Wicks. He may not be right, but he’s sure. He has meticoulously constructed an alternate bizarro world of his own. It is likely a waste of time to read my exchange with him, but I submit you are wasting your time trying as I did. I see no point in engaging somebody who cannot see the obvious. The hearings speak for themselves, and Wicks accuse me of saying nothing because I refuse to repeat what was said over and over for dozens of hours . . . I believe it was nine (?) witnesses who all said the same thing. WIcks is intelligent, and if he cannot see what is plain, that is an impressive wall of denial indeed.
Be well. United we stand.
A comment on standing one’s ground:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcDPnp4weoU&list=PLOhxuTxNTwnF5AVaTbLaK2rHPXHAM_ORU&index=2&t=0s
@Mads Horn Well spoken. And may I apologize for the embarrassing mess in my country? Please be patient if possible, we as you know are having a bit of a bonehead problem. Do not adjust your set . . . .
Mr. Wicks is an interesting and depressing case. Your words (and mine et al) are wasted on him, but nonetheless are hopefully inspirational to others who may read these comments.
Peace and Wisdom to us all. Thank you for your support.
@James Hutchins Good remark addressed at helmeteye. Yeah, must be too much tinfoil lined helmet and not enough eye. Did you hear they identified the whistleblower as Trump himself?
Turns out Putin is the whistle.
@Wesley C. You’ll have to take that up with the mighty whitey Commander In Cheese.
The most shameless poor excuse of a man actually became the president of the United States no less, oh how we have fallen.
Yes bin Laden brings down the towers now he brings down trump and he managed to turn u.s citizens against its president bin Laden will probly end up ruleing the u.s soon enough I wasn’t expecting the Taliban to be so strong in the u.s
we just dont want illegals coming illegally
🎼🎼There is just one thing that you need to know: trump said “Do us a favor, though”🎼🎼😝
@Pontus Ekholm i linked the transcript. the word favor isnt in it. are you a robot?
jmortier88 Yes, it is, on page 3 in the transcript you linked to.
@Pontus Ekholm ahah touche there it is.
If Trump is so innocent, why did he threaten a witness on twitter during her testimony. That all by itself, phony investigation or not, is impeachable.
LOL, you can’t convict anyone on ” hearsay”. Watch this. https://youtu.be/mgAXh2zETM8
It’s amazing to me how many people don’t know what the laws in America are. The ambassador never used the word bribery this reporter is liar.
All this because the electoral college and gerrymandering. Republicans are corrupt through and through.
@helmeteye lol the Russian were already In a revenge rampage on the Easter front by the type D-Day happen I give you the U.S did defeat Japan but by massacre of close to half an million civilians but being honest they deserve it for what they did to the Chinese
@HTK 45 the Eurean resistance would have fallen without US aid and there would have been a lot more civilian deaths without a quick victory in the Pacific.
@helmeteye the fact you say quick victory in the Pacific it’s funny as the European theatre fished first and yeah the Russian would had lost more civilians but Americans didn’t actually went in and saved the day like our history books like to say yeah they helped a lot but the Russians did the heavy lifting
@Carob My superpower is getting liberals to drop their facades and admit to what they think about other people. US aid enabled the resistance. The US was involved before Japan’s attack. The biggest mistake in the war, attacking Russia, was probably an attempt to counteract America’s manufacturing capabilities.
Republicans in the Senate won’t remove him for committing crime, so it’s up to us to remove the Senators by voting them out in 2020
We don’t know that until it happens. If I were a republicon, I would want Trump gone and this would be their greatest opportunity to do so. How many times has he turned against them?
@george plimpton I agree. It may not look good but who knows? For any number of reasons the republicans in the senate could turn on him. Most of them cant stand trump and their loyalties lies with themselves.
Turning the Senate & removing McConnell from roadblock to any progress may be as, if not more important than getting Trump out.
America must vote all senators out to can get out this intruder criminal in O.Office.
Nixon: “I’m not a crook!”
Trump: “There was no quid pro quo!”
Donkey Trump: “I do not know Putin, I have not meet him before.”
@TheMoonchild1969 To you lying about an affair he was trying to cover up is more impeachable than what trump is accused of?
@ottobong Clinton issue may be immoral but got nothing to do with politics…sorry.
@BOY RACHGIA 😂
No, it’s “we cannot tell the truth.” Trump and the Republicans.
Why is everyone hateing trump bin Laden is a badguy godamit lol
How about not paying the cities for all his rallies… he stiffed his own supporting base.
The whole administration will take up several seasons on “The World’s Dumbest Criminals”. I’m not even joking.
@Professor Moriarty Perfect description of a day in the life of DJT.
Melanie Carroll YES like Mulvaney “we do it all the time” . Classic stupidity.
Professor Moriarty a whole world knows, only you don’t. Bad for you! Cheers from Europe.
@Julie Crane OH BURN!!!!!!!Good job Julie..
The Republicans need to stop protecting their jobs, the president, and start protecting America.
Spoken like a true genius.
Giorge Leedy’s English Mastery You need to protect your brain because it is pretty fkd up by the sounds of it 🤦🏾♂️
@Richard Wicks I’ll be happy to let you understand this. All you have to do is listen to Fiona Hill’s testimony and the conclusions of every intelligence agency of the United States that the fantasy of Ukraine interference in our elections was cooked up by Putin to attack us. If you promote that disingenuous plot then you are working for Russia. If you are Russian then you are a patriot, but if you are American then you are a traitor, just like twunt.
that he needs notes for such a simple message, is scary, large print, less than 10 lines, is all that he can handle. who is running the country?
Trump is blatantly guilty.
The nightmare is that Republicans don’t care.
@Brandon Grady I hope you’re seriously asking so we can enlightening you. We want nothing more to get these criminals out of the office but it won’t mean a damned thing if the right isn’t on our side. We’re in this together and I want us to be on the same side on the way out.
We love you and we don’t want to see you get hurt.
ottobong on the impeachment inquiry
The millions of welfare turds only vote demoRat for the free welfare check. Inept, lazy, drug addicted is your party. Not even competent to vote. Go crawl back in the hole you came out of, its upstairs from the basement you live in 🙂
If you look carefully at Trumps writing and spelling, it’s that of a pre-school kid learning to write and spell for the first time.
https://youtu.be/iWeiKryQrJM
That’s why his signature is just a bunch scribbling , I don’t think he can write in cursive .
The problem is that the people who need to hear this are not listening.
Dems…so stupid it is pathetic!
Sondland…also admitted he paid 1 million dollars to buy an Ambassadorship to Ukraine that he is 100 percent unqualified for!…”one million dollars…a lot of money”…quid pro quo???squid for crows…question becomes is the bribe giver as guilty as the one who accepts the bribe???..ready for prison MR SONDLAND
..a rat like you might not do too well in the “big house”.
Hill…a good friend of V.Putin …Obama’s commie girl!
They hear every thing they just saying they not going to look at it or listen to it , they don’t want 045 to know . they have recorded and will look at it at mid night .you can’t believe want they say . that’s why this is going on now they will lie and cover 0-45 A- – .
Vidman… Chiarello…Holmes…dead men walking…would have faced a firing squad in any other Country…luckily Potus Dimbulb cannot follow up on his threats to execute traitors!
