Wallace: This Was 'Real-Time Witness Tampering And Intimidation' By The President | MSNBC

    1. @John Case This is what Trump lovers do. They are presented with an overwhelming number of facts, and at the end they say something like you have. They choose to ignore their mob boss president’s behaviour, because they are hypnotised by television and a variety of other screens. They are uneducated as well, so it’s hard for them to grasp something like facts. Go back to the troll farm that pays you. You’ll be happy there.

    2. @Xymo Nau
      I know what a strong Alpha male leader is. You’re a beta simp who is triggered by his boldness. But you keep implying what you call “facts” yet….You still can’t articulate an act that is criminal. So as usual like all liberals you quit, you run, you hurl insults, but in the end you don’t articulate or answer direct questions because you know doing so paints you into a corner. You can risk being proven a fool by a Trumper. So you never make your point clear.
      No crime has been articulated in this impeachment inquiry, just like none was proven in the Mueller investigation…..and just like you haven’t identified one yet either.
      I’m going to bed knowing another day has passed with you unable to find enough manhood to answer my question.

    3. @John Case Still fishing? You miss the point about impeachment. You do know, don’t you, that a Presient can be removed for abusing his office, and it doesn’t have to be a crime? No, you don’t know that at all, and that’s why you keep the focus on crimes. He did use tax money to bribe or coerce Ukraine to do his dirty work. He didn’t actually want them to investigate the ‘Bidens or the fiction that Ukraine influenced the election, which is just Russian propaganda. What he wanted was for them to say they were going to do so in public, so that he could then run with that in his election tactic. I’m very surprised that you haven’t even watched the impeachment enquiry this week. If you had, you’d be aware that it’s a slam dunk, and Trump is going to be impeached on a massive amount of evidence from people whose ethics and service to the country can’t be denied. FOX denies it, but FOX is Murdoch’s instrument yo keep him a powerful figure. He became American, but not because he has any care or respect for America. He could just make more money there. So keep it up. You don’t bother me. The sheer ignorance of Trump supporters is painful to watch. Cringeworthy, frankly. Jimmy Kimmel demonstrated that the other day. This is so typical. It’s called blind faith, and is how Hitler managed to get modern, decent Germans to do unspeakable things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t75kZmrwxg and also, from an earlier time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-PHPMPXnQA The ridiculous thing is that he is worshipped, not admired and respected. The people saying these things need treatment. No man is above the law or worth that blind adoration. And given his sleazy past, lies, and that he is concerned about himself rather than the US, as evidenced by his abuse of the Ukraine, and preferential treatment of countries where he has financial interests – Turkey and Russia are two – how can you possibly say he cares about the US or anyone other than himself? Were you an avid watcher of his television show or something? Because your judgment is way off.

    4. @Xymo Nau
      Never watched the Apprentice.
      I don’t watch FOX either. (You actually think Fox is a right wing agency) But Fox was bought by Disney and it’s now being swung to the left. (They hired Donna Brazil who gave the debate questions to Hillary Clinton) A “Right Wing Conservative” station wouldn’t do that.
      Anyway….I’ve watched the “Inquiry”. So far ALL of the testimony you claim is a “slam dunk” has only produced testimony of people vividly describing how they “FEEL” or what they “THINK”. There has been ZERO testimony of a “FACT” that you can take away from this charade.
      But…you are correct. Trump can be impeached for having bad breath. But the important part is…..THAT’S HOW WEAK YOUR ARGUMENT IS!
      You LITERALLY just said it to me. You CAN’T articulate an actual crime or impeachable offence. So you are left telling me it’s not a requirement.
      Well let’s be clear, impeachment without removal from office is just a waste of time. The Senate WON’T remove Trump from office (ESPECIALLY if the House of Representatives just holds a vote saying they don’t like Trump, he offends their feelings, they think him capable of bad things they dream up, but can’t prove an actual crime)
      So since they are NEVER gonna get a Super Majority in the Senate….What are you going on about? This isn’t even an impeachment hearing. It’s an “inquiry”. It has no legal teeth.
      Nancy made this whole activity up. At best it would be described as a public service announcement. The subpoenas have no legal backing, the whole show lacks any teeth.
      Meanwhile REAL CORRUPTION of the DNC is being exposed.
      A whole money laundering network is being exposed and we have actual evidence of it.
      The Ukrainians have already stated that the Quid Pro Quo narrative is false. But they ARE actively exposing the corruption their country faced under their previous President. Ukraine is handing over their formerly corrupt playbook and it’s FULL of the people who are pushing this impeachment narrative.
      You can keep condescendingly demeaning my intelligence and belittling “Trump supporters”…..but so far I have been able to clearly articulate the realities and you have stooped to having to say Trump can be impeached without a crime.
      Thanks for clarifying your emotionally unhinged, mouth breathing, knuckle dragging, Orange Man Bad narrative.
      What I know > What you think

    1. Very soon, the apostate Protestants will have total control, just like the Catholics did in the dark ages. People will be persecuted for religious reasons. And now most of the Protestants including the Pentecostalists have joined hands with Rome, the “mother” church will waltz in and the whole planet will resemble the old Holy Roman Empire, with state sanctioned cruelty and murder just as rampant. Trump is at the mercy of his little band of religionists. They got him elected, after all.

    1. Boyd
      as disgusted as drag queens using the bathroom with your children or just how stupid people who let movie stars and absolute lies dictate to them how to think?

    2. Boyd
      that’s how u know u queens have nothing when u start checking grammar LMAO.
      this ain’t a spelling test u tulip
      no bullets….. headshot

  1. fuckfaceshitforbrains is a coward hiding behind his twatter feed when he could just be there testifying his innocence. He can’t because he’s not innocent. Lock him up. Lock him up.

    1. Huh, finally a Democrat expressing himself in a very compelling and intelligently thought out comment. Well done sir, you’re an excellent representative of your Party!💩

  2. deeply disappointed……….he’s done, you can’t do that. it only took 2 hearings, he needs to be subpoenaed now

    1. @J Mchugh the repubs are now trying to say that her testimony is irrelevant. she is mentioned in the call transcript. She is completely relevant to building articles of impeachment. I think as time goes by it gets worse and worse that Trump will have to be deposed.

    1. Tampering is done to affect testimony. He was commenting WHILE she was testifying. She said everything she wanted.
      What he did was voice an opinion about her testimony, just like reporters do when they hear testimony.
      Let’s not conflate things here.

    2. @Felix Carpio I doubt it. Look at everything trump does, he does it all strategicly so that it will benefit him. He rarely backs his cronies when the heats actually on them or once the jig is up and they’re in trouble criminally. He won’t pardon stone because at this stage stone would have nothing to offer him. He’s a convicted felon, how many doors can this guy open now? Nobody will want to be near him. Also if trump goes near stone now, with everything that came to light during stones trial it will just add way more heat to trump with regards to him abusing his power in the presidency, and he can’t afford that. The guys scrambling to make it through this impeachment process and keep his base cause he knows when he’s out, he can be held criminally liable to for his many wrongdoings. If anything trumps gonna create distance and deflect from connections between them in a meek effort to mitigate the legal damage on trump.

  3. Can you imagine Obama doing something like this Republicans heads would explode on sight .Obama is an adult so this would never happen.

    1. @Thomas Fletcher You MAGAts have really scrambled brains, it seems. To be generous, your kind is typically absent of any critical thinking skills. Even if I believed the nonfactual position you’re taking, I would also have to conclude you have no sense of proportion. Obama is no angel, but Trump is a monstrous figure in comparison, committing multiple high crimes, some of which we now have ample public evidence to prove. And that evidence is only piling up more as time progresses. Wake up.

    2. Yep. Obama is an adult and a patriot, but also not a criminal and he knows the Constitution much better than Trump ever will.

    3. @Thomas Fletcher Obama was not conducting a spying operation on his political opponents. It is standard operating procedure for our intelligence agencies to monitor incoming phone calls from Russians known to have worked with the Russian government. Therefore, any politician who engages with those Russians on a regular basis will have their conversations picked up because of it. And by the way, it’s illegal for presidential candidates of any party to conduct foreign policy BEFORE they are elected president. So when a political candidate’s known associates happen to be found communicating with known Russian officials and spies, that tends to warrant an investigation without even having to ask the current president’s permission. The investigation into Trump was also encouraged by the concerning allegations contained in the Steele dossier, which was not paid for by Obama. It was originally paid for by a Republican group. So you can’t claim that this was some kind of conspiracy against Trump. He brought this all on himself by having his campaign seeking contacts with Russians repeatedly. Including his own son, who showed his emails to prove he met with known Russian operatives to get dirt on Clinton. That’s the very definition of collusion.

  4. President OrangeCunt actually attacked via tweet Yovanovitch as she’s sitting in the hearing. Talk about poor form.

    1. Reg U Indeed. Trump should never be called a c..t, why, because he lacks warmth and depth…….😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    2. That was the most low-class thing that Trump has done since he took office. Which is saying a lot, I know, because he’s done nothing but low-class things. But that was totally ghetto.

    3. @Thomas Fletcher Private text? It was Twitter, it couldn’t be any more public. You ok over there? Need to wind up the brain a bit to catch up with everyone else?

    1. @9TheMajor I wouldn’t trust a liberal to honour a bet. I took one out with a liberal acquaintance three years ago (I was confident from the moment of Trump’s election that he would go the full two terms), but I don’t expect to see the money (only £20 uk pounds, admittedly). It’ll be fun rubbing his nose in it, nonetheless. But now that you’ve given me the idea, I note that WIlliam Hill is offering 6/5 odds, which looks like easy money to me…

    2. wish I could watch the video feeds of trump throwing his orange snowflake hissy fits every time some new evidence/testimony is revealed.
      Someone has got to be tapping into it… Vladdy?

    1. @Betty Clark Let’s go medieval, hang, draw and quarter the SOB — on the National Mall. Highest ratings ever!

    2. That is not good enough, each and every republican is nothing more than a traitor. Killing them should not be a crime but a public service.

    1. @Big Smoke Guitar Yes, and the solid, decent people who _have_ testified are de facto the kind of people who don’t do the kind of stuff that winds up on Putin’s kompromat desk: they’re unblackmailable.

    1. @Joe Basom LMAO yep you’re the typical pathetic brainwashed liberal with no sense of direction or common sense. Its ok if you admit that you don’t understand the ins and or comprehension of basic self research. Instead your 2nd grade level brain acts as such a 1st or 2nd grader with stupid no nonsense bull crap putting down and calling names. So sad little you… So sad you little boy. You are a waste of fresh air. A total waste of 9 months in your fat slob mommas stomach. She’s stuffing her mouth right now with cheeseburgers and black peckers thinking about what a waste she made. You must have looked like a turd coming out of her.. …. Smh little boy stay out of grown up conversations lol

    1. @James K. Boyle Give Trump a sharpie, a tweet, and a weather forecast, and he becomes president. Your president!

    2. @voodooblue61 blue I just got done having a little discussion with the voices in my head…They said that they’re absolutely sure that you are screwed….lol

  5. The Donald got no class…yovanovitch look very honest n full of charisma.She paint a picture of Trump as the devil personified.

    1. @turfxpert good quote! but I think Pelosi is playing trump for the fool he is (one chess move at a time).
      If he were smart, trump would resign now, and hope to get a pardon. but you know he won’t.

  6. This is how corrupted he is and is so dumb that he can’t stop engaging himself into more corruption..unpresidential and untrustworthy.

    1. @Miles North 2 days so far, and I’m ecstatic. It won’t matter which news you decided to watch when this is over.

    2. @Miles North Im watching safely abroad. Rep Senators won’t impeach unfortunately, Im well aware.
      To the victor go the spoils, comrade.

    1. @E.G. and the people voted for Obama, which there was no contention. No one has time for your uneducated opinion, go back to Russia.

  7. Enough about Trump. Everybody knows he’s a disaster. It’s his enablers in the house and senate that need to be held accountable now for letting this mess go on at great expense to the well being of the nation.

    1. Larry Steinke Exactly!
      I don’t think the Senate will convict him . Too many spineless Republicans who only care about keeping their jobs rather then thinking about our country.

    1. @Blackdogsmatter What “fake” news media are you talking about? The LIES of trump are VERY CLEAR, and VERY well document. How did the news media protect convicted pedofiles? Seriously?

    2. @Blackdogsmatter Are you seriously saying that report’s of the thousand’s upon thousands of documented LIES that trump has told are “fake”? SERIOUSLY?

    3. astev52 Sorry, the Bidens are immaterial. Trump is out of control. He shoots himself in the foot every single day. At least he can smile at himself in the mirror before he goes to bed. The GOP Needs to find a more moderate candidate. My heart is way left, but if that’s what this country needs, the Dems need to find a moderate candidate as well. Let’s agree to move forward. Play nice out there. Also, let’s make our children safe.
