Amidst Trump’s top Republican ally, Lindsay Graham, saying he would support impeachment if more evidence of a quid pro quo was revealed, President Trump is begging for his GOP allies to be ‘tougher’ and ‘fight’ against impeachment. Reason Magazine’s Matt Welch argues Graham’s ‘wobbling’ comments about impeachment are ‘significant’ and show signs of ‘possible weakness’ within the party’s stance on impeachment. Aired on 10/21/19.

Turning Point? Key Republicans Open To Impeaching Trump | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Impeached and removed from the office is much more realistic now for the criminal president Donald J Trump.
Impeached, sure! Removed from office, unlikely…. you don’t know the republicans well!
@B S Lets put it this way those Republicans who seats will be up for grabs maybe ousted when Trump is put out of office by vote! *I give it a 50/50 with it being safer for them impeaching him if they’re smart! Why do you think Lindsey & McConnely are thinking long & hard?!*
Its been like that for a long time coming.
Its ashame.., to have all that power to make this Nation a better place for every American and have not a clue nor Care to do what is right for The People…. Beyond sad.
65Lkhj Lkhj65 Lindsey Graham is facing his challenger in the forthcoming 2020 election, he is brazenly turned coat and chilled out for what is waiting for him in North Carolina. Moscow Mitch is different; he must pay back to Trump’s Oligarch who promised to invest $200 mil in Kentucky.
THAT JIM CARREY MOMENT 🤣🤣🤣
So there’s a chance lol!
Love it!
Never gets old. 😂
Lindsey “boy’s toy” Graham flip-flops with his words 50 times a day.
It will be damming, looking back at clear undeniable crimes and not holding a criminal President accountable from either side of the aisle…
What are you talking about?? They’ve been doing it for years.
@Jo-Anne Gawley Well GAWWWWWWWLEY!
Claudy TheArtist Looking at the whole drama in front of my eyes, stunned and start to think I want to possess the power and the lawless life too.
I’m so sick of Trumplicans blaming the media and the democrats for their blatantly open crimes and corruption!
@S H I’ll keep it simple for you. Here is Mueller himself. enjoy. NO COLLUSION and NO OBSTRUCTION.

Did you mean to say Republicans for their blatantly open crimes and corruption?
@kennyw I asked for an explanation as to what open crimes and corruption.
Saltponds239 thats not what that video clip says
@Jake R right
Putin playing chess. Trump playing checkers
@The Insane Shecklador lmfao🤣
trump is playing Tic tac toe maybe and even that is giving him probably to much credit. I have seen rocks smarter than him.
No, the way I hear it is like this:
Putin is playing Chess, Trump is eating the pieces.
@Tskmaster lol
You’re giving trump too much credit. He hasn’t stopped chewing on his crayons long enough to learn how to play checkers.
The quid pro quo is irrelevant! Why doesn’t the media get that Trump committed a crime even WITHOUT a quid pro quo.
@Saltponds239 You can use that to justify it all you want but that’s been disproven “More Than Once” “The Favor was Trump Saying, “I need a Favor though, I need you to investigate this Biden thing!” No President can ask that, not just Trump…
@Saltponds239Fascists are in favour of a dictaturial regime… it is the opposite of a democrat.
@Saltponds239 Before you ask, The entire “EU” wanted him gone, “Nato” wanted him gone… “FYI, DJT, is not dealing with any rules and regulations that any other sitting President hasn’t had to deal with, “However They at least understood why those rules and regulations existed in the first place!!!”
There is plenty to write at least 3 articles of impeachment.

It’s almost as if all Russia’s friends have a video of trump having a -golden- shower….just sayin’
@car. A Dude! I am aware of that dynamic. Coincidence? I think not!!
IbnBahtuta // It’s as if they have it on the entire GOP!!
@marzeepants Well our Michael better watch the next time he goes to the showers that he doesn’t accidentally slip on a bar of soap and end up hanged. 😉
Part of Andrew Johnsons impeachment had to do with his character and how he made the office look. Going solely by that, dump should have long been gone
GOP did the same thing with Clinton… FF to 1:00 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwlazzkf1rU
@Michael B “…I have lost no sleep, worrying about the FACT…” – Lindsey Graham
kristie c, going on that alone, he should’ve been executed back in the 80’s when he first threw the idea of running for president out there.
Lindsey Kompromat is almost as bad as Trump’s kompromat.
Really hoping the others will be the ones who vote against Trump, because Lindsey can flip his lid any moment too as we have all seen before again and again.
yeah but we need flimsy Graham if he flip on Trump the rest will , all we need is 20 votes from the senate..
“Show me something that is a crime.” A picture of Trump should do the trick.
😂😂😂
How about obstruction of justice?
His hair and skin tone are crimes against nature… do they count?
Just give him a mirror.
Smoke and mirrors the Republicans are criminals just like Trump.
These Democrats are conducting “Star Chamber” sessions!? Cowards!
@GreenRuled TROLL Acct: Brexit = Thatcher/Fascism.
Yeah right! But the Republicans and Democrats in power before 2016, who spend $8+ Trillion in the Middle East Wars, are just fine 🙁
@N STAR – You can’t figure that out for yourself?
REPUBLIKKKANS
I can’t wait to watch him finally go off the deep end. There’s a straight jacket with his name on it.
Um… look, he’s been off the deep end for the past couple of years. We’ve just gotten used to it.
We’ll make sure is the best stripe shirt,the greatest like we’ve never seen before..and out side his cell it’ll have a big red sign “WE’VE MADE M’ERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Sen.Graham’s gravestone will say -”Hypocrite”
Impeach Barr first………then have reasonable DOJ to handle the rest.
Jason McCord – The House can totally impeach Barr. Whether Barr is serving Trump is irrelevant.
When is the GOP going to take a stand to defend our Constitution, most of them have broken their oath.
They have taken their stand and it is not for but against. the constitution. They will not stop there unless we stop them in 2020. At this point the republicans best hope is to turn on trump and hope the BS blows over in time for enough people to forget and forgive them.
He was a Democrat when it suited him.
“The Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party.” The Dems don’t need to, you’re doing a fine job.
Exactly, but then that is his game talk, the way he plays.
Well put!
If anything, Democrats are trying to save what remains of the Republican Party by getting rid of the toxic source
@SICCC Studios Well that’s the problem, +35yrs ago my *Republican friends and I could chide and tease one another on issues and still remain in agreement on our mutual core values! I don’t even recognize this Republican party and they have polarized their stance to a 96% cover-up for a corrupt man! I mean their putting so many eggs in one basket that they have not even considered placing a morally right standing, strong candidate against Trump to repair the damage they’ve done to their own party!?*
@65Lkhj Lkhj65 True words. The problem now is trying to convince Trump supporters that we arnt trying to get rid of Trump cause he’s Trump. To have bad policies is one thing, but this man is a threat to our Republic. Never has a President been a threat to the very constitution he swore to protect.
“Show me something besides the concrete evidence” -Lindsey Graham.
He wants evidence outside of the phone call because those working outside of it were Guilliani and Barr. Graham is still supporting Trump.
Wilbur Jenkins If Trump is removed I think he’ll be the nastiest and most toxic ex-president imaginable. He might even splinter the GOP. His reputation needs to be totally destroyed, along with his co-conspirators, for the Republicans to emerge from this intact.
Media has to start asking them what they need for impeachment, when that thing happened they wont have any excuse left
Wilbur Jenkins I’m suspecting there is dirt on Lindsey Graham that Trump is extorting him for his allegiance.
Trump no longer cares who he alienates, such is his grandiosity.
In his “great and unmatched wisdom…”
