Congressional Democrats Issue New Subpoena As President Donald Trump Sues | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Great digging and reporting, thanks for putting the case in perspective.
It really dispersed the clouds around the fight.
Dems will dig up any dirt as long as it suits their agenda. She's an amazing story teller.
@bigpimpdaddy69 I don't think Cheryl's comment was meant to be a compliment. Her first sentence takes a false dig at her. The second is intended to be sarcasm.
@ You are like a dog with a bone. You ignore the FACT that Trump and Russians tried to collude but mostly failed because incompetence. Manafort's giving demographic data in swing states to Russians would have been charged as a campaign finance violation except Mueller struggled with how to place a $ value on the resulting interference. Mueller basically said he did not charge Don Jr. and Jared because they were too ignorant of the law to be charged. On Obstruction, however, Donny isn't getting away with that.
WTF??? Thank Goodness there is an organized intelligent person to help look at the big picture in context. Without living through Watergate and some of the crazy things of the 60s and 70s.... The Draft ... KENT STATE (Ohio )and Jackson State ( Florida) shootings of young college students by government ( who alleged outside bad guys who brought their own rocks from other states to start a fight ( per Kent State testimony in trial of National Guard soldiers) ... The police riot in Detroit... The devastating deaths of young students helping Americans to get their right to vote.. President Kennedy The Rev.Martin Luther King Jr. Bobby Kennedy as he ran for office so many young kids here and in vietnam ( that provided us with tungston to make tires.... Death in exchange for tires and so much more craziness.... I can see how younger folks would have more difficulty seeing... understanding ... Or believing what is really happening and just how big a deal it really is. Schools don't provide history for perspective. The unique thing about the political conflict today is that there are so many of us who were alive during the challenges ... Lies... Deaths ... Unbelievable Political manipulation and threats to our Constitution and recognize the current more sophisticated nightmare with the GOP ignoring it's duty to protect us... Instead racing to throw themselves on the sword of a madman for personal gain. The old GOP with senators who took their ethical duties seriously. The political conflict was tough but used their votes as intended. They did NOT roll over for a criminal ... especially when the threat was undeniable ... online we are seeing folks who obviously didn't read or glance at the Muller Report ... like tre45on but voice opinions that are based on 1. Barrs spin attempt before the release 2. Tre45ons misunderstanding of even Barrs 4 pages that he didn't bother to read. 3. And their own failure to do the smallest bit of reasonable opinion and read it for himself to form his opinion.
@nunna yrbznez I agree. I was 5 yrs old when my oldest brother was drafted for the Vietnam war. I was older when the next oldest served (rip Don) and during the Watergate scandal. I wasn't yet born when my father served in WWII. My oldest brother also worked with Jessie Jackson and the rainbow coalition. The atrocities going on now make me sick to my stomach!
Thank you, this info is laid out so well by you.
It would be easier for Congress to simply pass a law requiring all candidates for Congress and the Presidency to disclose 10 years of tax returns. Simple.
I agree with both of you, but such law wouldn't apply to Dump - and this psychopathic worm needs to finally be held to account.
The Reaper will never let such a law pass through the Senate.
Also, psychological exam. I had to do that to be accepted into a training school once.

He can be voted out, too!
Speaking of Voting Polls Data....
❔Why did Ivanka trump buy the rights to the Voting Poll Machines?! Again, isn't that a Conflict of Interest?!
I don't know how someone buys 'rights' to voting machines. Did you mean to say that she bought stocks pertaining to a voting machine manufacturer, or a company which rents/leases such equipment if such an entity even exists)If so, can you provide links to sources that validate your statement?
@@gregparrott, I think that she owns one of the companies which makes voting machines or at least the majority of the stock. Strange investment for someone who usually hawks women's apparel.
@@deepattison9329 smh! This is why in Australia we use pencil & paper. Lets see someone try to profit from buying stocks in them! lol
seriously though, that's just insane that ANYONE can do that! Obvious avenue for corruption or manipulation of the election there!
@@gregparrott She got a Chinese trademark for them. www.reuters.com/article/us-china-usa-ivanka/china-grants-more-trademark-approvals-for-ivanka-trump-firm-including-voting-machines-idUSKCN1NB0TL There's literally thousands of hits on Google.
I was doing some work-related research, and I came across the following:
_What creates a hostile work environment?_
*Harassment becomes unlawful where 1) enduring the offensive conduct becomes a condition of continued employment, or 2) the conduct is severe or pervasive enough to create a work environment that a reasonable person would consider intimidating, hostile, or abusive.*
Then I had a revelation: Thick Stump has turned this entire country into a Hostile Work Environment!
Yes he has I'm sorry to say.🌼
Whew! Good thing I'm retired!
@Hypothetical Man
Wow! You are so broken!
@@richarddarlington1139
Love you my brother! 🌼👏
Hypothetical Man Wow...your choice of nomenclature seems incredibly self aware. Good for you, very brave!
Rachel, thank you for delivering the legal facts and their historical context - super job!
I looked it up. This is amazing
@Jeremy Backup your awesome!
@King EVOII--According to Duhnold he could shoot you in the head and get reelected, and YOU wouldn't know you got shot in the head and would nonetheless be saying "Thank you, sir--may I have another?"
I take that back; one o' youse deficients DID shoot up the pizza shop--figures, stoopid la-hoozers
pat comerford Pat, everyone in business looks at the Executive Summary. One of the main things that Universities teach is, how to write a report. Depending on your level in the hierarchy of the organization your contribution may our may not be relevant. Rachael is one those irrelevant parts of that report. I like Rachael, but she needs to do some serious journalism. Unfortunately she won’t .. there is too much money coming in from outside sources. It wont last. She will fail.
All these legal issues coming in on all sides of the spectrum! I AM LOVING LIFE!!!
He has nowhere too hide

@@clintonpachingel744 heh pretty funny
@@clintonpachingel744 Agreed. He needs to be taken from behind Barr and into behind bars.
Thanks Rachael for providing facts and explaining this so simply
Get rid of him!!!!!!!!! Why is there no outrage aginst this mobster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
" You're Fired! " and " I'm Suing You. " - The two core sentiments trump has based his character upon.
Wait, isn't suing Congress tantamount to n attempt at the obstruction of justice?
Suing is asking for a judgement. Its [obviously] not illegal to do this.
@@Balletified Congress is the ultimate law enforcement. It has everything to do with it if they're are conducting a congressional investigation into his shenanigans. Aside from that, I was obviously kidding.
@@mrswimmyboy So if he loses he gets the real justice he deserves. You might want to think more about that. Not that it makes any sense. And btw, I was only joking.
Not technically. It is, however, hysterically funny
No, and no prosecutor would ever try to bring charges against anyone for that. Going to court is an important right and part of the legal system. It would be really bad to ever treat that as a criminal act.
I love how Rachel can explain everything. EVERYTHING!
@Steve Withers lol yup nearly 3 years of crying!! Another 6 years to go ...poor woman ...more to be pitied than scolded
Yeah its not like Maddow has ever been wrong about everything
Except that she is wrong much of the time.
But remember, he would be glad to release his taxes... If only they weren't being audited.
He would be "PROUD", like when he shut down the government. ha
Not happy to release his school records or SAT Scores - stable genius, my *** or should we say his orange ***
GEE HE LIES AND LIES - AND STILL.
Still under audit, Mr.notmypresident? It's only been 2 1\2 yrs since that was ur 1st excuse.
And a unredacted Mueller report
Wouldn't it be easier to just disclose your tax returns, like every candidate for the past 30 years?🤔
Unless you have something you're desperately trying to hide? 🤔🤔
Oh Ro my friend...if Diaper Donnie did that, he'd have to say " I'm a lying, draft dodging POS 🍊 conman, and criminal! 🌼🙂🌼
@@daisyelmir1289
And America would collectively say, "yeah, tell us something we don't know!"
PS - Hi Daisy! 🌼🌼
Yeah it’s obvious he’s hiding something. But the real question is why are Trump supporters and the GOP ignoring this?
@@rgwak
I can't disagree (gasp) with you Ro! 🌼👍🌼
Trump released his taxes returns records in March 2017
Indictments Are Coming.
Yep! Truth is marching on.
@@hubgiles7889 Yep... for the dems and the higher ups who started this whole farce because they couldn't handle the election results. Take the "L" WTG TRUMP!
"Rhymes with spit" - cracked me up.
When he looses I hope they counter sue.
Rachel, you help me stay sane.
Aw, little Donny is panicking. He couldn't look guiltier if he tried.
Yeah i bet hes really scared 😏
@@bobbydazzler329 Yes. You know, during the campaign, I was questioning whether he realised that his entire corrupt life would be exposed to the world if he became POTUS. I guess his psychopathic need to feed his ego overrode any lucidity (also) in that regard. And now he's paying. It's hilarious to see. Life has a great sense of humour.
@@MetteC5 Or he really didn't think he would win but it would help him get "Trump Tower Moscow" if he ran. Ah but Russia decided to use him and they interfered to have him win.
@@evelynmartin2832 Agreed. But that doesn't take away all his parallel nefarious activities (esp. money laundering) - which will now be exposed to the world.
23:23 you read my mind; I've been wondering about Butina/NRA status. Kremlin okaying SoS Tillerson?
Reading your mind, and giving you your thoughts are not the same thing.
in my mind that is some of the very best evidence of collusion. we havent really seen anything in Mueller's report addressing this angle yet have we?
Those parts were probably redacted because of an ongoing investigation
Vote him out of office. The world can't wait any longer.
David North haha,keep dreaming snowflake
Don't worry he will be out of office in 2024
@RedRoy Productions let it go, let it gooooooo
@@kevkilgallon6378 PUTIN IS THAT YOU?
We will
If a cannibal cooks someone, but doesn't get to eat them because a telemarketer calls - can they still be charged with cannibalism?
Yes
@@itslivemeow1936 then trump should be indicted
of course not. If you plan a terrorist act and don't carry it out you can only be charged with planning the act not with murder. So its a lesser crime with lesser consequences.
Attempting usually has same penalty range so does conspiracy
@@LA-li4yw Indeed.
It’s so weird that Tweetie fingers 👐 is trying to keep taxes the report etc. locked up tight. That’s certainly what an innocent persons would do. 🤪😜
He's buying time to have his people shred the last real evidence and gin up fakes. The Russians already had their great Document Burn Fiesta a couple years ago at their embassy in San Fran that made so much smoke the Fire Department showed up, and the Consulate wouldn't let them in.
@Hypothetical Man A law does require him to, when they are summoned by the chairman of the house oversight committee. That law is 26 USC 6103.
www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/6103
Checkmate, dickhead. YOUR MOVE.
Trump should follow his sisters lead, and resign.
As soon as he is out of office he can be indicted. Why would he resign? He knows his best chance of avoiding a rodgering in the prison showers is to stay in office as long as possible.
And we get to pay for her full retirement, around $200k per year. But that's chump change compared to what she and Donny got away with, est. at $440M.
If he wouldnt have fired Comey..none of this would have happened this way lol
Trump has been a criminal his entire adult life. He should have never exposed himself to inevitable scrutiny that comes with elected office. But he ego got the best of him and he ran. Now, he is facing the consequences but is trying his best to keep his criminality under cover. Unfortunately for him, he's really bad at the cover up. 60% of us see him for what he is.
@@scottbarron2934 True so I'm curious why he even ran for President it just doesn't make sense unless it was just to help Russia right I mean he's a billionaire so wtf?? That boggles my mind...
Rachel should be given a medal for her informative work. If America does not want to do this, then the world owes her one. She highlights to the lay people what corruption is at the highest level. Wonder if Merkel, May or Macron watch RM show daily.
corruption: see the Clinton foundation, hillllary cliinton, the Mena airport, the Arkansas redevelopment and housing authority.
@@timdryden3778 I'll get someone to look under your bed, eh?

Heh. You really still believe Maddow? Incredible. Trump will cite executive privilege. McGhan will have nothing new to say. Maddow is sucking you in. Yet again. Wake up man!
Getting expectations too high is a symptom of TDS.

Lisa Burton his ego wouldn’t let him.
Our own president......geezus. enough of trump already.
James Champaco ..... vote him out ....... and get back to some normal ...... keep him & your circus circus continues
I never comment on videos, but I feel like I have to for this lady. Honestly, every single time I watch her show/videos, I'm always learning something new and I pride myself in being a pretty well-informed and well-read person. Bravo to Rachel and her team for always doing an outstanding job in laying out the facts, history, and reasoning behind any issues being discussed. I can honestly say I have become a big fan!
How is this not treason?
There has to be a reason as to "WHY" they want his tax returns.
@Grace Munich Just a question, why do you want to see the tax returns?
Drain the swamp before 2020, starting with the bureaucrats, and the American people will be able to get the President they deserve. Common Rachel, it's a good idea.
So he's fighting this tooth and nail, but Russian election intervention is like 'meh'. I'm not sure this president has America in his best interests.
THIS PRESIDENT HAS NEVER BEEN AN AMERICAN EITHER.
HE HAS BEEN A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK AND WORSE SINCE DAY ONE.
Let's see his SATs and grades too! lol, i want to see how "smart" he is as opposed to how smart he "says" he is.
When the president did this today.....we knew he was even more guilty than has been described...
trump sues....what a joke.
Your reporting is amazing Rachel! You are the gold standard for journalism.
Haaaaa haaaaaaaa... best gag all year!!!.. brilliant!!!
Show your tax returns Donald then put on your orange suit, thank you Mr Criminal
The sea of truth is being dredged , leaving the silted barren lies to erode and confuse.
Imagine that Obama would be in the same position right now just imagine that the end America enough said
"just imagine that the end America" What does that mean?
Trump pay for his own legal troubles?! Lol.
What do you expect of Russian agents? They think in Rubles and hide it St Petersburg.
Oh the irony! Hope it bankrupts him.
I really like how Rachel Maddow makes her point & informs the viewer.
But but but... the present Supreme Court is not now composed of the same caliber of judges, sigh
So Trump's lawyers specifically and in a professional l letter that the law should be ignored or broken? Isn't that an offense that would earn disbarrment? Anyone know? Cuz I don't, but that seems shady af.
i have no idea how most of his lawyers keep their licenses...ghouliani gets up there and intentionally tries to twist the law
Lawyers move forward with the argument that a law is unjust, unconstitutional, or unreasonable all the time. It's far from a disbarable offense.
Donnie has a lot of secrets😱😱😱
Desperate AF. Criminal in Chief.
Rachel thanks. Great Reporting.
I'm not so sure Rachel, I heard there's one supreme court justice that forces things through when there's little wiggle room, he doesn't take no for an answer.
Ever hear any Republican admit that Eisenhower started that war in South Vietnam. One more Republican committing troops to a non-ending war!
I love you so much Rachael you explain everything in such a way that even us seasons citizens can understand you keep up the good work I am praying for you 73 African Americans.
Amazing reporting!!! Just one tiny request though, Ms. Maddow, whenever you say, "Stay tuned for part 2"... I can not find "Part 2" readily available on the RUclips menu... I would love it if the second part of your reporting was found in a more accessible way.
Thank you for continuing to inform and educate us, Rachel Maddow.
Trump is 74 years old? no matter how long we wish him stay there, he is going to get out when his life ends.
Thank you for the clarification. Congress needs to continue their legally warranted right.
Dot connecting at its very finest. Rachel rules.
Jump to14:50 to get to the real issue.
2 years later and this sounds absolutely the same as what’s going on…
This woman doesn't stop to amaze me
Manafort could be a great villain in a James Bond movie
No you need a global foundation for that, and it helps if you're Secretary of State. That way you can sell out the American people, while you enrich yourself.
I’m confused about something. Hasn’t Trump been audited by the IRS every year for like the last 20 years or so? Why havn’t they gotten anything on him? This is a genuine question - thank you for any responses.
I think there is serious doubt that any audits ever took place (so far all we have is the President's word) which is why the subpoena requests that the IRS inform Congress of any audits.
That’s an excellent answer, thank you.
Remember when Trump said that he gets audited every year but his rich friends never do? Yeah, that was BS. Truth is that it is more cost effective for the IRS to target low hanging fruit who can't afford a battery of lawyers.
@@BalloonSage You're welcome! Stay genuinely curious!
@Hypothetical Man - Not really. The wealthiest will fight the hardest, have good lawyers and also have much better BS on their returns than the middle class person who can usually be made to cough up a few thousand by one agent with a couple of days' worth of work. That said, the target rich environment is actually small to mid size businesses and upper middle class earners. People who are doing well enough to squeeze, but not well enough for a protracted fight with the IRS and not likely to have too much political juice.
The big cases are either egregious flauting of the law or to make it look loke the rich get audited more than the general public.
While I see it as totally appropriate for his tax records to be fully given to congress..they should use them for criminal and impeachment.but not release them to the public..
Love me some Rachel
The only real question going forward is whether cadet bone spurs has the balls to face the music or if he'll resign with he pet Pence giving him a full pardon for his "federal" crimes-course, he better run fast with NY and other states coming after him as well.
What a shocker ! Here your Nation is, nearly 3 years after allowing that nightmare on the nominee stage, after he Bull Winked them into his "Being Audited" story. Can you imagine ? follow the money might lead donald's sheep to the truth ? An old song just came into my head "Skip a Rope" kinda catchy tune !
Thailand troll farm arrests taking place
Perhaps the POS President has made us all more aware that we all should
spend more time in researching ALL candidates for office before voting.
That is just one of many things that this President has made you understand. When you air out a swamp, expect it to be smelly job.
When is someone going to ask how & why Elijah Cummings passed away so.....conveniently?
Totally irrelevant, but I really love the background graphic they used behind Rachel. Looks like the ceiling of the capitol dome?
it is inevitable that somebody at some point is going to be charged with Treason
How Timely, just 2 years later❣️ Thanks, Rachel for the in-depth coverage.
If we got Capone for Tax Invasion, imagine what we will get Trump for.
Many Vietnam veterans joined the Hell's Angels due to frustration.
Keep up the good work... I enjoy your comments on what is a disaster in your country..
It is puzzling why Rachel Maddow has not received a Pulitzer Prize. I do not miss her reports as they are always riveting and humorous. Well done Rachel.
So sad people watch her... "If people don't learn their history it will repeat itself"
Hey Rachel I hear your being sued for 10 million for lying 😂😂😂😂😂😂 what do you’re viewers know about that.
Interesting how these are things that you NEVER LEARN in American History classes.....
We love Rachel Maddow
Tick, tick, tick, tick....
It is disrespectful to DEMOCRACY for a branch to try to sue the other branch for doing their job.
Rachel, you are really good at explaining things most of us --even we active in the 60's--most of which we do not know. I like your animated and smart presentations.
There is something that our Congress needs to think about and think about hard here. If they don't proceed with an impeachment or the process of impeachment in this country then we could very possibly face a huge divided country for decades to come or even worse never get resolved. To every Congress person you have a moral responsibility as well as an oath of office responsibility to the constitutional rights and its laws that you swore to uphold and protect and it is your job to make absolutely sure whether the president committed obstruction of justice and or violated the constitutional rights and laws of great country. Doing anything less will only prove to the American people that you are just as corrupt as the White House currently is and that are laws in our land have zero meaning and the constitutional rights is nothing more than to just a piece of paper with no value. It is in fact your moral responsibility to the founding fathers as well as many other great people that worked hard to build our country today to absolutely make sure you do your job otherwise you violate the memories!
SAY YOU MR TRUMP, "THOU DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH"!
An aside ... The reason why soldiers (and college students) favored coffee houses was that many were under 21.
Doesn’t he just appeal the decision up to his friends on the Supreme Court?
I wondered what happened to the tax returns - knowing Mueller had accessed them. Thanks for the info :)
And what ever came of this? Nothing
I will never respect Jane Fonda. Ever.
