Widening Ukraine Scandal Ensnares Trump Aides And 'Angry' AG | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
“TRUMP EATS YOUR SOUL, ONE LIE AT A TIME.” James Comey
@Ash Roskell jup, and then Melania will file for divorce 🙂
Inevitable Crafts Lab : Or, she might get her orders, to dig out that, “Sudden, Tragic, Unexpected Heart Attack,” Kit from under the bed? . . . 😉 👍
@Ash Roskell now that think of it, him beeing in jail might be the best time in her life, so she probably only divorces him in case he is not going to jail hehe
Inevitable Crafts Lab : True, but I have no sympathy for Eve Braun, there. And, I’m really only HALF joking about them pulling an Epstein on Trump? 🤔 👍
Attorney-client and executive privilege do not protect co-conspirators like Barr, Giuliani and Pompeo.
@Richie Tattersall
And yet all we have is one memo, my guess is that the full transcripts are a lot more damning and possibly not just with Ukraine. The US after all this finishes exposes itself faster than Bratt hic Gropenaugh after a pint of lager may owe many nations apologies for this period.
@Kimberly Sikorski I wouldn’t be surprised at that. Mueller is a good man.
@Darth Wheezius They are going to have to slam Trump in court to get it dealt with.
@Richie Tattersall
I hope not, I understand that the Repubics have a weird death cult going on but at least a few of them will want to live.
@Darth Wheezius You’re right, they do. Congress: House of Representatives is 2 year terms of service; Senate is 6. Nov 3rd 2020, Donald Trump, Moscow Mitch + 21 more Republican Senators are up for re-election, only 12 Democrats. We are still more then 1 year from the next Elections, 3 Republican members of the Senate and 16 members of the House of Representatives have ALREADY announced that they are not running for re-election. It makes allot more sense to walk down the Gangplank of the Great Ship “The Donald Trump,” while it’s tied to the dock, then having to jump off it later with nothing but a life-preserver.

@Melissa Spier
But the real question is, are you a Trekkie, or a Trekker?
@Richard Darlington OMG NEVER a TREKKER …. GIGGLING always a trekkie…. by 3 Million votes!😘💙
@wisegeorge365 That would have been great if he had!!!! LMAO 1
@Wilson I can not feel bad for anyone connected to -45. They all knew. I will be buying fireworks to watch after their demise.
Now that we have proof about the mob boss in chief, I just feel sorry for all the business people he scammed all these years. Can you imagine trying to do honest business with this tool? How many people just gave up or blew their brains out just to be rid of trump?
K Pee I cant understand why he wasn’t prosecuted years ago for his crimes in Atlantic City. It’s illegal for the owner of a Casino license to KNOWINGLY have contact with a convicted felon. Trumps helicopter pilot was convict more than once for transporting and distributing drugs. HOW did that go unpunished ? Trump even had the trial moved into his sisters Federal courtroom. She eventually had to recuse herself from the case,
@Kimberly Sikorski And we wonder why the war on drugs can not be won . There are many elites who still do this. It’s a chemical war fare .
Barr is up to his eyeballs in it. Really? He maybe the last to know he’s guilty. A complete disgrace to the office.
Iceberg Rose absolute Disgrace to THE human race
Liar and traitor finally getting what he deserves
AG Barr is the Dems nightmare. He is a hero 😎.
@SkyGemini Don’t forget Lindsey Graham, Jim Jordan, Devin Nunes, and the rest of the GOP traitors.
@Diana Strong , it would not surprise me that after all this sordid affair is sorted out and the verdicts read, Kelly Anne turns out to be a source of some of the whistle blower’s information. Would also not surprise me that she was the anonymous writer of the OP-ED in the WP. I am not condoning her actions up until now, but history may view her a little better when you have the advantage of hindsight.
Trump is criminally inciting violence claiming a civil war will happen. He should be arrested for putting Americans in danger.
You got a point there, may I join ? ……………@Freewheelin’ Franklin
Nah, the barr has been set so low with this president that even direct calls – by name – to murder political rivals and members of the public that annoy him are no longer considered an offense. Heck, he could walk into the House with an AK and murder the democratic party members, and his cronies would call it executionist priviledge…
@mulhollanddose and Lincoln was a republican what’s your point ? I’m a Democrat you gonna bleed be scum bag ?
From all these atrocious things done in support of Trump by these Christians, the NRA, ICE, WH staff and other enablers who along the way over these years have enjoyed and profited highly from their participation in abusing our nation and muddying the name “America”… do not forget their role.
->Steven Williams: Never Forget, Never Forgive.
I want a list published of how EACH of these representatives vote. It must contain each member of the House and the Senate. And ANYTIME ANY of these deniers or enablers tries to muddy the waters this list should be whipped out and shoved in their faces. It should follow them for the rest of their lives whether they continue to serve in government or not.
Remember when criminals in Gov like Nixon, Halderman, Erlichman and G. Gordon Liddy were still patriots. In this administration, the criminals are also traitors. That is a quantum leap in crimes against the ppl of America.
Remember when the AG was John Mitchell ???
200 people were indicted in the Watergate scandal after Nixon resigned and took off with his pardon in hand. The investigation continued after Nixon was gone and the government made sure that all who enabled Nixon in his crime were punished. That included office staff members who help to cover-up criminal activities and those who simply had guilty knowledge and remained silent, rather than notifying the FBI. Those who see crimes being committed in the workplace and do nothing are equally subject to prosecution, just as accomplices in a crime are, especially in federal crimes where the public trust has been abused or ignored. Trump’s administrative workers may want to take advantage of cutting a deal by hiring a lawyer and calling the FBI in order to clear any culpability their actions or inaction caused while working for Trump, or his cabinet members, especially before the FBI begin to interrogate everyone after Trump is impeached and leaves office. The GOP members are also technically very vulnerable, particularly those who had close relationships with Trump and shared secrets among each other on Trump’s wrongdoings.
Canuck Fundy : And, all those BULLYING, DESPERATE, COWARDLY THREATS they’re making, about a, “civil war,” and the only one actually HAPPENING is on FOX! 🤣 😂 😆 😂 🤣
@Jeanne Stellfox I do believe it will happen here. Maybe not as many people or maybe much more. I hope they get Kelly Anne Conway as well.
Yep 10 times bigger than Watergate
We all knew what a nightmare trump and his despicable enablers would institute. After the dust settles, trump and his criminal enablers should be barred from the political sphere, after they are disbarred, prosecuted, fined, imprisoned to the utmost! This includes his smarmy corrupt family.
Dorothy Gears they all should be in prison for the rest of their lives for 😡
Dorothy Gears I want to create a “memorial” to Trump (once he has lost everything first that is !😂). I’d like to see Trump tower and Mara Largo turned into Immigration centers and temporary housing for immigrants ! I think he would REALLY appreciate THAT ! 🤣😂🤣😂
Whistle blower is eric trump & he’s telling everyone, ‘and you thought I was the dumb one!’
OleeoleeOO oh that’s a good one ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 good one!
WRONG!! Melania is the whisleblower
@Peter Exel That would be even better !!
lol i like that
Rudy needs to stick to things he’s qualified for, like menacing Smurfs…
Excellent!
like cutting deals with Motorola to issue defective radio communication to NYC firemen in 2000-2001, which is why they could not hear the orders to evacuate the towers before they came down. Read the book “Radio Silence” by a NY City firefighter.
@run Caz OMG ! I didn’t know that ! Will be reading that for sure. Thank You !!
Diane Hooper My pleasure.
Where’s all the Trump Humpers? Haven’t heard squat from the TRAITORS. Guess they finally realize Trump is Going To Prison.lol
How terrible must a president be, when his own WH staff rallies around a whistleblower so he can not find out who it is?
And you know he is pulling out all the stops.. Threats, bribes, intimidation.
Perhaps they’re afraid of being charged as accessories to murder.
@v blackwell Could well be.
If lawyers work for free for Trump, isn’t that like giving him a valuable gift? Their time is very expensive, so I don’t understand if it is legal for them to give him this expensive gift. I thought you can’t give a president expensive gifts.
Notice how Deceased they look, Corruption eats away at the Soul.Ever since Trump began his Look into Presidential Seating, there’s Been nothing but Drama, on a Daily basis, none of it good . All NEGATIVE, SINCE 2016. America has SUFFERED GREATLY because of Trump & his minions. Sickening.
I think it is killing Trump too. Some of the insanity could be explained with the high level of stress of being both a part time bad president and a full time criminal. No rest for the wicked!
Todd Toure I will quote Trump here ONLY once in agreement with you “SAD !” (snicker ! 😂🤣)
anerandros22 couldn’t have happened to a nicer person 😂🤣😂😂🤣 Trump and his lying cronies deserve EVERYTHING coming their way.
Its a nightmare. I hope it ends soon. 3 years feel like 30. The republic couldnt sustain this for another 5 years.
Yep 3 years of nothing getting done we are so far behind the rest of the world now
Barr: “I am surprised and angry to learn that Trump is not rewarding my loyalty.”
Cohen: “Ha ha ha ha.”
Brilliant!
I’m sending Cohen popcorn😀
serve u right BARR u knew what trump is all about trump only likes u when u do his dirty work for him if not his not satisfy he will fire u and u all know he is not running the country like he should U TELL THE TRUTH SHAME THE DEVIL
@Jugganuat 😂😂😂
Cohen: “I’m the worst lawyer tRump ever had.”
Barr:” HOLD MY BEER”
As we move along this thorn filled road let’s not forget about the charities that were robbed by this dishonest and selfish family.
@hedegaard8 so you’re a disgusting pervert just like Trump..he’s got no business in there staring and drooling at those young girls. Imagine what he did with Ivanka.
@I love dogs White supremacists believe they should be the 1st to violate their daughters.
Truth
@I love dogs He loves his daughters very much – whats wrong with affection? I cuddle, hug and kiss my 4 year old boy. Does that make me a pervert? I think someone hurt you in your life – its a shame you don’t recognise genuine affection when you see it.
Ya the list gos on and on it’s endless
“Who knew being corrupt was so complicated”
Yes, but I know more about corruption than anybody in history!
@SkyGemini That is almost verbatim what he said about the tax code. You have to understand it in order to break it, so I who have broken it more than anyone, am the only one who can fix it.
Consider it fixed.
Person of the century: “The whistleblower “
@Ash Roskell Exactly !!!
@Ash Roskell Bravo !
@Rver SoCal Spot on !
@Max Power YES !
@Diane Hooper Nice try Diane. I did no such thing and never would. You may not know it, but people like you are supporting the overthrow of a duly elected president.
…In This Life: “YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW”
If Trump had listened to the evangelicals supporting him he would have known this, unfortunately he is only paying them lip service just as he does with his base.
