Ima give you credit on this Cenk. Thank you. I disagree with you on the Russia Hacked the election theory but you deserve appreciation for defending Jill Stein from these false accusations.
princeaizen your right. He believes Trump has some shady financial deals with Russia. He is using a false narrative of Russia hacked the election by way of the DNC as a vehicle to pursue investigations. Those investigation will eventually lead to his financial deals & hopefully ending in impeachment. I don't like Trump, I think Pence is worse. I don't agree with misleading the public to obtain this outcome.
Diana Hatze Unnecessary investigations are a drain on public resources. You might as well ask what's wrong with investigating you or me. Do you have ties to Russia? Let's find out! There's no reason to investigate ordinary citizens. Just ones that have confirmed connections, like Trump.
I understand the "problem" with investigating her, I just think that they won't find anything and it'll go away (and there are millions of dollars consistently wasted... that's a whole other topic!); this is better than having questions looming (because regardless of her innocence or whatever, there will always be people who question her sitting at that table)... that's why I don't understand the outrage!
Super pissed at anyone blaming Stein or Jhonson for Trump winning. How bout the half the country that didn't vote at all? Seems like the 'Great American Experiment' has failed to me.
That is a stupid thing to say. If you read or watched real news you'd be able to see the daily bullshit and lies, you would also notice vital breaking news, they intentionally ignore. Please stop being so gullible.
trump also failed to get more votes in many states. Stein duped the public into thinking she was actually a serious candidate with the same anti-trump agenda as hillary, thus leaching the exact number of votes needed to stop trump
The smearing of Obama and Hillary by Jill Stein is despicable. The shameless glorification of blood-soaked red Putin Russia by Jill Stein is sheer evil.
So if Jill speaking out against the establishment makes her a Russian favorite, what does that make Trump whose sole platform was anti establishment and swamp draining?
+supermarx "Let the investigation do their job. If she's clean they'll clear her. HOW DARE YOU INVESTIGATE OUR DEAR LEADER DONALD TRUMP!!!!!" Yeah. Conservatives aren't hypocrites at all.
Cenk has credibility because he interviewed her? That's like saying Sean Hannity has credibility on Trump because he interviewed Trump. Cenk, that's the deal you don't know what they may or may not have on her so why are you bent all out of shape if that's even possible.
Graeme Walker, Oh that gives Cenk credibility? I don't think Russiagate is fake either but I am not bragging that I have all this credibility on Jill Stein or Russiagate.
DUECE MOMM yeah, I don't understand why cenk is trying so hard on this one. Is she a progressive or something? Did TYT try to promote her? Then I would kind of understand why cenk is trying so hard. I wouldn't agree with him, but at least it would make sense.
Uh, no. Why would a 3rd party candidate fly to Moscow to have dinner with the most powerful man in Russia? That's what actually happened in this situation. The whole "we don't want 3rd parties" nonsense is just Cenk trying to rile people like you up because there's nothing simpletons like more than somehow being a victim.
The Republicans and Democrats have been trying to push back against third parties since they got the crap scared out of them by Ross Perot in 1992. They realized someone with a message of the Democrats and Republicans are both screwing up the country could become very popular, very quickly, he got 19% of the popular vote and Bill Clinton won the presidency with the lowest popular vote % over the last 100 years. They want no part of that, hence why they got rid of the independent League of Women Voters (who allowed Perot in the debates) running presidential debates and replaced it with a system that essentially only allows the 2 parties to be in the debate people see. 3rd party candidates have the Republicans and Democrats sue them to try and tie up their time and money in the courts to get them off the ballot. They do it all the time.
I was a Jill Stein supporter during the 2016 election. I like her. However, if they really do have a reason to investigate her now too, then I'm all for it. To include her into the investigation they must have some sort of proof or reason to do so. But I hope that it turns out to be nothing.
Cole Loves You: Jill Stein was an also-ran against a cast of bumbling idiots (Trump, Clinton and Johnson). I feel the Green Party has their pulse on THE most important issue out there (if we destroy the Earth it kind of makes all of our other problems look like small potatoes). The Green Party deserves better leadership.
Stein is at best a fame-seeking vanity candidate, unqualified in too many areas, lamer than even Gary Aleppo Johnson. But her lack of cred has never stopped her from smearing blood on Obama and Hillary's faces, on behalf of Putin whom she glorified publicly on too many occasions. The Moscow dinner is just peak of an iceberg of her Putinphillia. Next time champion whatever social causes, but treat your vote with some respect.
Alfred E. and Allie Gator Say Hi from the Swamp: You speak of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Royal House is propped up by extremist Wahabis and are the same group (along with the Israeli Government) who are baiting the U.S. against the Iranian Regime. Granted extremist Irani clerics help to sponsor terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah; however it's the Wahabis who sponsor terrorist groups such as Daesh (ISIS/ISIL), Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and Boko Haram. Seems to me that Iran is the lesser of two evils when it comes to America's best interests. Israel wants us to intervene with Iran in the name of self-preservation. Saudi Arabia's ulterior motives are a bit darker. They want to spread their narrow, extremist views of Islam throughout the Middle East and beyond.
Why is it jumping the shark? I am in the Green Party Of England and Wales and think Jill is great, but if it's appropriate she comes under the microscope, so be it. We can't have double standards on this.
i would prefer to have an investigation after the crime instead of a which hunt to find out if someone is guilty of a crime even though they were not accused/there is no grounds for anything/no crime was committed in the first place. you do an investigation after the crime, and don't investigate someone until you find evidence of a crime with no grounds for an investigation in the first place. this is distopian as hell.. this is what the communists used to do. "show me the man and i'll show you the crime".
because the entire premise of russia gate has long been disproven. It's just a political witch hunt and an excuse to ramp up arms sales, erm, I mean, tensions with Russia.
well steve, UK has an electoral system made for more than two parties, you have provisions for coalitions and minority governments, the USA does not. as it is the green party splits the vote on the left giving the republicans a huge advantage, putin sees the fault and is using it to manipulate american politics. sorry to hear aboot brexit btw, damn putin trying to break up the UK and EU in one fell swoop... the bastard
Calling for and funding a recount in the three states with upsets doesn't necessarily mean she's on the right side---it just means she thought "holy shit, I didn't think he'd actually win..." Here are my feelings about Jill Stein: I may agree with one of my friends on everything politically, but that doesn't mean I want them to be president. Stein hardly even has any experience in public office; I daresay, some of my friends actually have more experience than her in politics.
You can reasonably assume that anyone you see taking shots at Mueller in comments sections just vomited what they were fed by today's Fox talking points.
If not voting for Hillary really counts as voting for Trump, then the fact that MOST eligible voters did not vote for Hillary means that he really DID win the popular vote!!
Jill Stein paying her own way to get to Russia, to have dinner (not the only person and not the only American) and a handshake with Putin, instead of following Trump's example of using taxpayer dollars. Stein had a negligible impact upon the election in 2016, but at least she stood for something and she even joined the protesters in North Dakota at DAPL and got arrested for her efforts.
Her recount effort got shut down because she wouldn't have won the states she sued in. I doubt the court system would rule differently here. But it's a nice idea.
the allegations against her are ridiculous and pathetic. when she even requested the evidence against her be brought forward was told "that is classified". if you have evidence at this stage in an investigation where the sand on the hourglass is getting low, you don't "classify" that. I suggest finding and watching her response to these allegations. its really obvious this is absolute nonsense based on a stupid loose analogy.
how convenient when a witness comes forward to say as soon as trump learned Flynn lied to the fbi he sought the termination of james comey, the very next day. ignore the corporate manipulation, remember the definition of the word justice and the men and women who defended it in the past.
there attacking her for Israel. more reason to vote for j dems in 2018. democrats who lie about corruption for its own political expediency are just conservatives.
AND, the U.S. constitution forbids Flynn, as a former military officer, from accepting money from foreign powers. That's a pretty big distinction between Stein and Flynn.
Yup. Uygur just laid bare how hypocritical he is for all the world to see with choice quotes like these :"so there's putin, there's flynn and there's stein, but what did they talk about?!?!" Where the hell was this line when this pic was brought up for flynn's assumed guilt months ago? Why weren't you giving flynn the benefit of the doubt back then, oh that's right it's only cause he got paid and didn't put it down on paper that made it nefarious, riiiiighht. I hope for your sake that Stein crossed her Ts and dotted her Is with any paperwork involved in this meeting. Effing hypocrit. Uygur just can't stand the thought that progressives are just another political party subject to corruption like the rest of them.
Well yeah, that's exactly why Flynn IS suspect an Jill isn't, I mean how do you not get that? And apparently she DID dot the i's and crossed the t's because no paper trails at all lead to her, making her LITERALLY not suspect. It's not sitting at a table that's a crime it's taking money and not declaring it. Sitting at a table with someone and then agreeing with 1% of what he says is not being a stooge, you'll need some extraordinary evidence to back up that claim, which doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight.
"Yeah because the world REVOLVES around Hillary." If you listen to republicans, the vast majority of which still suffer from Clinton Derangement Syndrome, you would think it does.
I suspect most people you talk to still talk about HRC, because you keep trying to pretend that the Dems are vastly superior to the GOP. They're not...
I can't agree with this tirade. Was Clinton invited to the RT dinner? I think anybody with attachments to Russian political operatives should be looked at by investigators. The investigation is not about Flynn failing to report the pay-off from RT. The investigation is about Russian involvement in the election. Trump was not even a candidate at the time of Flynn's RT speech and he said exactly what Stein did about Putin "I didn't even really talk to him". Strange that Stein was there and I'd like to know why. Remember too that Stein, unlike Flynn, was actually a candidate on the ballot running against Clinton and Trump. (We all know who that hurt.) I think any American in that room is worthy of investigation..... It also troubles me that Stein was pro-Russia (anti-Obama) on the Ukraine issue.
Bit what did this accomplish? It got progressive to see the special counsel as illegitimate. Hmmmm. Who does that benefit? Let them do their job. And judge the evidence when/if it comes out. Maybe they have some evidence you are not aware of.
can i get an- 'i told you so'? while the rest of us have been calling this new-macarthyism, cenk and the crew have been tossing that to the side. just sayin.......i told ya so
So, folks, the message is, no matter who the party is, what it stands for or against, they ALL have the right to be heard. The people decide. If the people can't hear what party out there is saying what that's when you know you are living in a despotic dictatorship.
Finally, the wagon of hysteria has come full circle, Michaels been right the entire time about the political climate this was stoking, bring him back to TYT Politics, deeply missed. Glad to hear his work, hope to see that discourse between Jill and Michael in a video soon, thanks. 😎
I must say I'm a little surprised by this commentary. Jill Stein did meet with Putin (she sat right next to him at that dinner), if Flynn is being scrutinized for that meeting, I don't see why Stein should be exempt. We know Flynn got paid for that meeting (to potentially undermine US interest), especially close to an election. Moreover, which foreign leader would just meet with the leader of a political party from an adversarial state just for shits and giggles? (We are talking about Putin here, check his eastern European record on party influence campaigns) I'm not saying Stein did anything wrong (I agree with many of her policy positions) but she should not be exempt from a Russia investigation when it seems she had some contact with the Russian government.
Everyone should be exempt from the russia investigation. It's pointless and it's hurting the political discourse. Or, if you really want to talk about foreign intervention, admit to doing it yourselfs (sometimes through wars) and commit to bettering yourselfs before pointing fingers at russia and feigning indignation. Thats the way forward.
xz0rg If you're familiar with the American left, you would know we would be the first to acknowledge that our country has done some influence campaigns of our own, sometimes with direct/indirect force. Many times these campaigns do not work out very well. I would never want to see that happen to us, which 2016 might just be the year it did. These investigators should do everything within reason and legal limit to make sure it never happens again. Stein is not beyond reach. It reasonable to at least try to figure out what her motives were in attending a meeting/dinner with an adversarial state. TYT seems nervous for whatever reason.
FactFive no it's not. The FBI, CIA and political class in general have no moral right for targeting this people since they're doing the exact same thing. It's morally apprehensive to see this witch hunt. It's meaningless. While we're talking the USA is pumping in money to the Venezuelan opposition. Financially supporting the illegitimate government om Honduras who refuse to step down after they lost the election (a dictatorial goverment that Hillary Clinton gave carte blanche to coup and expell the leftist winner of the 2008 election, Manuel Zelaya). If the goverment is signalling that it's really okay to influence foregien elections, then, ethically speaking, the US have no right to even be upset of Russian interference. This should be a time of reflection, a time of bettering ourselves instead of this hysteria.
Except if you belive in US exceptionalism. If you do that, then you don't have to take any moral responsibility, since you'll percive yourselfs as above the conventions of international law and shit like that.
Wait. I’m totally anti - trump. And I VOTED for Jill Stein. But now that maybe she did something and the investigation has her included you now say it’s a witch hunt and the trump one isn’t? If they found something on her, then okay. But I’m confused how you call this a witch hunt
Me either and I assume neither of us are being investigated for being in cahoots with Russia. Weird, huh? It's almost like this isn't a "witch hunt" at all and Stein did some shady shit that warrants her being investigated.
The people saying Stein is guilty because she was at a dinner where Putin was in attendance, are probly the same idiots who claim there was nothing wrong at all with Trump having a private dinner with Putin right after getting elected last year 🙄
That's unlikely. 1. Libertarians are just another branch line off the sewage main that is the Republican party. 2. He doesn't possess the intelligence to pose a real threat to overturning the establishment's so called apple-cart.
Lol... Hillary gave speeches to wall Street and that was all was needed to call her corrupt. But heaven forbid anyone else being held to that standard is rushing to judgement.
that wasnt all that was needed, it was all the things she said in the debates and all the rhetoric she used against bernie that made it obvious she believes corporatism is the same thing as capitalism I.E. she thinks the government should be privately owned I.E. she is corrupt AF.
I think it's entirely possible the Russians could have used Stein, regardless of whether or not she meant for it. We don't know what the investigators know, and as Cenk keeps saying, if she didn't do anything, then she should turn up clean.
Ima give you credit on this Cenk. Thank you.
I disagree with you on the Russia Hacked the election theory but you deserve appreciation for defending Jill Stein from these false accusations.
Cenk doesnt think russia hacked the election
princeaizen your right. He believes Trump has some shady financial deals with Russia. He is using a false narrative of Russia hacked the election by way of the DNC as a vehicle to pursue investigations. Those investigation will eventually lead to his financial deals & hopefully ending in impeachment.
I don't like Trump, I think Pence is worse. I don't agree with misleading the public to obtain this outcome.
The Mccarthyite which hunt just got even more sad and delusional.
MRostendway
She is a tool of Roger Stone same as Johnson. He has been using 3rd and 4th party since high school. Wise up.
Aaron Ibañez, you lose ALL credibility when you misspell "You" as "U". It makes you look like an uneducated, lazy buffoon. Are you a buffoon?
Thank you for vindicating Dr. Stein. The neo-McCarthyism is absurd
Jill's policies was better than Trump and Hillary put together
What's wrong with investigating her?? If there's nothing there, she'll be fine. ...not really understanding your outrage
Diana Hatze It's panic, not outrage.
Diana Hatze Unnecessary investigations are a drain on public resources. You might as well ask what's wrong with investigating you or me. Do you have ties to Russia? Let's find out! There's no reason to investigate ordinary citizens. Just ones that have confirmed connections, like Trump.
They already wasted $90 million on investigating Clinton's.
I understand the "problem" with investigating her, I just think that they won't find anything and it'll go away (and there are millions of dollars consistently wasted... that's a whole other topic!); this is better than having questions looming (because regardless of her innocence or whatever, there will always be people who question her sitting at that table)... that's why I don't understand the outrage!
oh the hypocrisy, it hurts.
For the umpteenth time - if someone makes a false claim, sue them. Crowd fund it - we, the people, will support Jill Stein.
Super pissed at anyone blaming Stein or Jhonson for Trump winning. How bout the half the country that didn't vote at all? Seems like the 'Great American Experiment' has failed to me.
Thank you TYT for bringing even the little things to us real American people! Never stop doing what you guys do!
That is a stupid thing to say. If you read or watched real news you'd be able to see the daily bullshit and lies, you would also notice vital breaking news, they intentionally ignore. Please stop being so gullible.
The smearing of Jill Stein is despicable.
Otaku Evolution The smearing of anyone is despicable.
Otaku Evolution She smeared herself by giving Trump several swing states and therefore the White House.
Hilbots hate that a progressive woman made HRC look bad
trump also failed to get more votes in many states. Stein duped the public into thinking she was actually a serious candidate with the same anti-trump agenda as hillary, thus leaching the exact number of votes needed to stop trump
The smearing of Obama and Hillary by Jill Stein is despicable. The shameless glorification of blood-soaked red Putin Russia by Jill Stein is sheer evil.
So if Jill speaking out against the establishment makes her a Russian favorite, what does that make Trump whose sole platform was anti establishment and swamp draining?
You know who else met Vladimir Putin?
Leonardo DiCaprio!
I guess he must also be guilty.
guess who was pushing propaganda for hillary clinton, Leonardo DiCaprio!
BellaMusical LOCK HIM UP!
George Papag ITS THE GULAG FOR YOU, DICAPRIO.
George Papag 😂
Let the investigation do their job. If she's clean they'll clear her.
+supermarx "Let the investigation do their job. If she's clean they'll clear her. HOW DARE YOU INVESTIGATE OUR DEAR LEADER DONALD TRUMP!!!!!" Yeah. Conservatives aren't hypocrites at all.
supermarx Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Mueller probably knows something we don't, so Cenk needs to pipe down.
I don’t think anyone should really have an opinion on this yet... Maybe the FBI knows something that we don’t?
Cenk has credibility because he interviewed her? That's like saying Sean Hannity has credibility on Trump because he interviewed Trump. Cenk, that's the deal you don't know what they may or may not have on her so why are you bent all out of shape if that's even possible.
Graeme Walker, Oh that gives Cenk credibility? I don't think Russiagate is fake either but I am not bragging that I have all this credibility on Jill Stein or Russiagate.
Im even MORE PROUD I voted for JILL STEIN. I voted Dem 22 yrs and Im DONE.
unless they endorse Bernie
Chaz Bennett Kremin lover
You're proud that your wasted vote went to a Russian stooge? Congrats, bud. Please don't reproduce.
jil stine was 100% times the person we needed
This isn't the first ridiculous aspect of the investigation and won't be the last. I hope Cenk becomes much more critical of it as time goes on.
Cenk, I love when you get fired up for a better democracy. :) Thank you!
DiminutiveFlower What are you talking about ? :-) He does nothing!
DiminutiveFlower So do I. It's like watching a 250lb spoiled child throwing a tantrum. Hilarious.
It's the Senate Intelligence Committee. It's the Senate, not FBI or CIA or any legitimate intelligence body.
If she’s innocent she’ll be ok.
How do you know if Jill didn't have anything to do with Russia?
DUECE MOMM yeah, I don't understand why cenk is trying so hard on this one. Is she a progressive or something? Did TYT try to promote her? Then I would kind of understand why cenk is trying so hard. I wouldn't agree with him, but at least it would make sense.
They are now going off target.
Let them investage Jill, it’s fair game as long as it’s countiue to be done by the books
+Sis Gui Do you feel the same about Mueller's investigation into Trump's potential collusion with the Russians? Or is that "fake news?"
Love TYT keeping it Real. Pathetic Conservatives in the Republican and Democratic Party are making it easier to leave the Parties.
Damn straight Cenk!
Finally Cenk is coming around to jimmy dore's position on this McCarthyism
"Are people not allowed to run against the establishment anymore?" That's the goal.
Uh, no. Why would a 3rd party candidate fly to Moscow to have dinner with the most powerful man in Russia? That's what actually happened in this situation. The whole "we don't want 3rd parties" nonsense is just Cenk trying to rile people like you up because there's nothing simpletons like more than somehow being a victim.
The Republicans and Democrats have been trying to push back against third parties since they got the crap scared out of them by Ross Perot in 1992.

Great commentary Cenk . Honest and insightful . Well done .
Russia! Russia! Russia!
I think Cenk and Jimmy finally went out for a few quiet pints and a chat :)

However, if they really do have a reason to investigate her now too, then I'm all for it. To include her into the investigation they must have some sort of proof or reason to do so.

did jill stein give you 20 million dollars?
Why is it jumping the shark?
I am in the Green Party Of England and Wales and think Jill is great, but if it's appropriate she comes under the microscope, so be it. We can't have double standards on this.
i would prefer to have an investigation after the crime instead of a which hunt to find out if someone is guilty of a crime even though they were not accused/there is no grounds for anything/no crime was committed in the first place. you do an investigation after the crime, and don't investigate someone until you find evidence of a crime with no grounds for an investigation in the first place. this is distopian as hell.. this is what the communists used to do. "show me the man and i'll show you the crime".
TheAK47striker methinks you've not a clue as to what you speak of.
because the entire premise of russia gate has long been disproven. It's just a political witch hunt and an excuse to ramp up arms sales, erm, I mean, tensions with Russia.
well steve, UK has an electoral system made for more than two parties, you have provisions for coalitions and minority governments, the USA does not. as it is the green party splits the vote on the left giving the republicans a huge advantage, putin sees the fault and is using it to manipulate american politics.
sorry to hear aboot brexit btw, damn putin trying to break up the UK and EU in one fell swoop... the bastard
john kennedy “Long been disproven,” is that why we have multiple guilty confessions and an indictment? 💀
Rock on Cenk!
Cenk "I have credibility" Uygar
This was a pretty epic twist tbh
Calling for and funding a recount in the three states with upsets doesn't necessarily mean she's on the right side---it just means she thought "holy shit, I didn't think he'd actually win..."
Here are my feelings about Jill Stein: I may agree with one of my friends on everything politically, but that doesn't mean I want them to be president. Stein hardly even has any experience in public office; I daresay, some of my friends actually have more experience than her in politics.
A witch hunt?
Excellent rant. Thanks !
You can reasonably assume that anyone you see taking shots at Mueller in comments sections just vomited what they were fed by today's Fox talking points.
DEFLECT DEFLECT DEFLEEEEEEEEECT
I've seen it all now! America has officially become for sale.. highest bidders..... wth.
Maybe they are following the evidence Cenk!!! Just cause you don't agree don't mean there isn't a crime committed
MoppyPuppy patience please, they don't just tell the public everything they know in investigations like these that way evidence isn't tampered with.
What evidence... Dumbass. McCarthyism. Look it up.
John Handcock COLLUSION dumb ass!!!!!!! Hahahaha. Look it up
Stien had a vested interest in beating down Hillary, sorry. Given that she is fair game, that is not a witch hunt.
The establishment: Democracy? You want democracy? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I voted for her
+Say10 uh no, hillary is the reason we have trump. she is corrupt and her envy of republicans' blatant corruption makes her arrogant.
If not voting for Hillary really counts as voting for Trump, then the fact that MOST eligible voters did not vote for Hillary means that he really DID win the popular vote!!
+buckpasser55 your comment reading like a typical fascist trump supporter's comment shows how dumb you are.
+Marvin Baxter rekt lol
Only a Hillary supporter would chastise the voters for giving her a 3M vote margin. Your stupidity has no bounds.
If there isn't anything to find out...they won't. Right? Just like Trump. Let them do their investigation.
Bought&Sold lol ya cenk what’s wrong lol should we protest in the streets if they stop her investigation like trump??
This investigation is getting way outta hand.
Jill Stein did not have nearly the percent that Johnson got so to say she had any effect is dishonest.
Jill Stein paying her own way to get to Russia, to have dinner (not the only person and not the only American) and a handshake with Putin, instead of following Trump's example of using taxpayer dollars. Stein had a negligible impact upon the election in 2016, but at least she stood for something and she even joined the protesters in North Dakota at DAPL and got arrested for her efforts.
She didn't pay for the plane ticket as far as I know. Cenk is wrong on that
Perhaps. JIll Stein might have a case to sue and win for defamation.
Daniel Guzman most definitely. Upvotes please!!
Her recount effort got shut down because she wouldn't have won the states she sued in. I doubt the court system would rule differently here. But it's a nice idea.
Why was she at the table with Putinnand Flynn. Also whats wrong with asking her whats going on shes not begin indicted
Jill was a regular on and off on the alex jones radio show since 2012 people
the allegations against her are ridiculous and pathetic. when she even requested the evidence against her be brought forward was told "that is classified". if you have evidence at this stage in an investigation where the sand on the hourglass is getting low, you don't "classify" that.
I suggest finding and watching her response to these allegations. its really obvious this is absolute nonsense based on a stupid loose analogy.
how convenient when a witness comes forward to say as soon as trump learned Flynn lied to the fbi he sought the termination of james comey, the very next day. ignore the corporate manipulation, remember the definition of the word justice and the men and women who defended it in the past.
there attacking her for Israel. more reason to vote for j dems in 2018. democrats who lie about corruption for its own political expediency are just conservatives.
Very glad to see Cenk breaking from the establishment on this ridiculous rabbit hole rubbish! Wakey wakey for sure!
You know who the Russians had a field day with, as they criticized the "U.S political establishment"? Donald Trump!!
She's giving interviews, and has been nothing but open since this story broke. Unlike the White House.
As a long time viewer, this segment has done damage to your credibility.
How?
AND, the U.S. constitution forbids Flynn, as a former military officer, from accepting money from foreign powers. That's a pretty big distinction between Stein and Flynn.
"It's only a witch hunt if it affects someone I like" - Cenk Uygur, 2017
It's a witch hunt when everyone is a Russian spy without a shred of evidence.
Yup. Uygur just laid bare how hypocritical he is for all the world to see with choice quotes like these :"so there's putin, there's flynn and there's stein, but what did they talk about?!?!"
Where the hell was this line when this pic was brought up for flynn's assumed guilt months ago? Why weren't you giving flynn the benefit of the doubt back then, oh that's right it's only cause he got paid and didn't put it down on paper that made it nefarious, riiiiighht. I hope for your sake that Stein crossed her Ts and dotted her Is with any paperwork involved in this meeting. Effing hypocrit.
Uygur just can't stand the thought that progressives are just another political party subject to corruption like the rest of them.
Well yeah, that's exactly why Flynn IS suspect an Jill isn't, I mean how do you not get that? And apparently she DID dot the i's and crossed the t's because no paper trails at all lead to her, making her LITERALLY not suspect. It's not sitting at a table that's a crime it's taking money and not declaring it. Sitting at a table with someone and then agreeing with 1% of what he says is not being a stooge, you'll need some extraordinary evidence to back up that claim, which doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight.
ayyyy SINGAPORE!!!
yes, we're big and strong, you work for us :3
No shit, she's got Russian connections.
This is insane.
Russia wanted to take every vote away from Hillary.Odds are she might knows something. Start talking Jill, anything helps.
"Yeah because the world REVOLVES around Hillary." If you listen to republicans, the vast majority of which still suffer from Clinton Derangement Syndrome, you would think it does.
You are a total idiot... This Russia Russia Russia stuff is propaganda.
I suspect most people you talk to still talk about HRC, because you keep trying to pretend that the Dems are vastly superior to the GOP. They're not...
I wish Politicians could be more Honest

Obama told some fairytales till he got fact checked, then he stopped.
Trump is a natural idiot fool.
I wish the mainstream media would be more honest.

They just report Trump and his idiotic bullshit.
Yeah, shame they leave out the idiotic bullshit from the Democratic Party, maybe America wouldn't be royally fck'd if they did.

Lookey... A trumptard
Hillary Clinton tries smearing Jill Stein in her book too. I was literally yelling at the page when I read that.
So RT basically did better coverage of Jill Stein and third parties than mainstream media, or what is their argument?
Also they seem to be for democracy.
Well, the MSM has done nothing but smear Stein for decades, so that isn't saying much.
Chunks projecting..lol. Its so monumentally hilarious.
Only by a constant bombardment of outrageous injustices can the plutocracy keep the focus off their legislative self-dealing.

This is hands down the smartest comment in the thread.
I can't agree with this tirade. Was Clinton invited to the RT dinner? I think anybody with attachments to Russian political operatives should be looked at by investigators. The investigation is not about Flynn failing to report the pay-off from RT. The investigation is about Russian involvement in the election. Trump was not even a candidate at the time of Flynn's RT speech and he said exactly what Stein did about Putin "I didn't even really talk to him". Strange that Stein was there and I'd like to know why. Remember too that Stein, unlike Flynn, was actually a candidate on the ballot running against Clinton and Trump. (We all know who that hurt.) I think any American in that room is worthy of investigation..... It also troubles me that Stein was pro-Russia (anti-Obama) on the Ukraine issue.

Welcome to the new McCarthyism. I guess we DON'T learn from history.
mark navarro
Then she has nothing to worry about..

Trump is going to prison "Guantanamo" or face firing squad and be shark bait like bin Laden. .
I have voted for Stein, twice. I'll vote for her a third time if Bernie isn't running again.
It's "Ka tar" Not cutter don't be that guy.
Bit what did this accomplish? It got progressive to see the special counsel as illegitimate. Hmmmm. Who does that benefit? Let them do their job. And judge the evidence when/if it comes out. Maybe they have some evidence you are not aware of.
I agree with you 100%.
100 times hypocrite in this video
can i get an- 'i told you so'? while the rest of us have been calling this new-macarthyism, cenk and the crew have been tossing that to the side. just sayin.......i told ya so
Please do a debate with Kyle about Russia. I know hes in NY and doesn't like flying, but y'all could easily do a video debate.
I would like to see this also. I think all three of those mentioned have very respectable opinions.
So, folks, the message is, no matter who the party is, what it stands for or against, they ALL have the right to be heard. The people decide. If the people can't hear what party out there is saying what that's when you know you are living in a despotic dictatorship.
Finally, the wagon of hysteria has come full circle, Michaels been right the entire time about the political climate this was stoking, bring him back to TYT Politics, deeply missed. Glad to hear his work, hope to see that discourse between Jill and Michael in a video soon, thanks. 😎
When they go after someone on the left, it suddenly becomes a witch hunt.
Cenk seems nervous in this video. Lets wait and see if there is nothing. She will be cleared if nothing.
The Jill stien got 3-4% in critical sates that got Trump elected. So she needs to go for next establishment candidate.
I must say I'm a little surprised by this commentary. Jill Stein did meet with Putin (she sat right next to him at that dinner), if Flynn is being scrutinized for that meeting, I don't see why Stein should be exempt. We know Flynn got paid for that meeting (to potentially undermine US interest), especially close to an election. Moreover, which foreign leader would just meet with the leader of a political party from an adversarial state just for shits and giggles? (We are talking about Putin here, check his eastern European record on party influence campaigns) I'm not saying Stein did anything wrong (I agree with many of her policy positions) but she should not be exempt from a Russia investigation when it seems she had some contact with the Russian government.
Everyone should be exempt from the russia investigation. It's pointless and it's hurting the political discourse. Or, if you really want to talk about foreign intervention, admit to doing it yourselfs (sometimes through wars) and commit to bettering yourselfs before pointing fingers at russia and feigning indignation. Thats the way forward.
xz0rg If you're familiar with the American left, you would know we would be the first to acknowledge that our country has done some influence campaigns of our own, sometimes with direct/indirect force. Many times these campaigns do not work out very well. I would never want to see that happen to us, which 2016 might just be the year it did. These investigators should do everything within reason and legal limit to make sure it never happens again. Stein is not beyond reach. It reasonable to at least try to figure out what her motives were in attending a meeting/dinner with an adversarial state. TYT seems nervous for whatever reason.
I wanted her to win. But if this is true it should be investigated.
FactFive no it's not. The FBI, CIA and political class in general have no moral right for targeting this people since they're doing the exact same thing. It's morally apprehensive to see this witch hunt. It's meaningless. While we're talking the USA is pumping in money to the Venezuelan opposition. Financially supporting the illegitimate government om Honduras who refuse to step down after they lost the election (a dictatorial goverment that Hillary Clinton gave carte blanche to coup and expell the leftist winner of the 2008 election, Manuel Zelaya). If the goverment is signalling that it's really okay to influence foregien elections, then, ethically speaking, the US have no right to even be upset of Russian interference. This should be a time of reflection, a time of bettering ourselves instead of this hysteria.
Except if you belive in US exceptionalism. If you do that, then you don't have to take any moral responsibility, since you'll percive yourselfs as above the conventions of international law and shit like that.
If Putin was telling her to go to DAPL and to propose the Green New Deal... then thank you, Putin!
They will go after Bernie next...It's pathetic
Oh my gawd. Russian to 'judgment'. I feel so validated.
Wait. I’m totally anti - trump. And I VOTED for Jill Stein. But now that maybe she did something and the investigation has her included you now say it’s a witch hunt and the trump one isn’t?
If they found something on her, then okay. But I’m confused how you call this a witch hunt
Justin Willhoit I think they need to let Mueller do his job.
Despicably Irascible Rapscallion exactly. If Mueller is looking at Stein, fair enough. It’s not a witch hunt, on either side
Its not Muller that is looking at her, its the senate, so in other words its a political stunt.
I didnt get invited to RT dinner,
Me either and I assume neither of us are being investigated for being in cahoots with Russia. Weird, huh? It's almost like this isn't a "witch hunt" at all and Stein did some shady shit that warrants her being investigated.
The people saying Stein is guilty because she was at a dinner where Putin was in attendance, are probly the same idiots who claim there was nothing wrong at all with Trump having a private dinner with Putin right after getting elected last year 🙄
*_Urine Trouble Mr President_*
Everyone knows this is a great way to muddy the waters even more. Hilary's chance has come and gone .. Bernie 2020
edward woods the only way Bernie could win is if the election were held by low-turnout caucus.
The choice is between the DEM/REP or the REP/DEM.
No the choice was between destruction (Trump) and survival (Clinton) lol
Thom Hartmann, Jesse Ventura, and Max Blumenthal could be next.
I'm kinda waiting on them claiming Gary Johnson is a Russian spy. :D
That's unlikely. 1. Libertarians are just another branch line off the sewage main that is the Republican party. 2. He doesn't possess the intelligence to pose a real threat to overturning the establishment's so called apple-cart.
I was mostly joking, hence the :D My point being that the establishment is just going after anyone and everyone at the moment.
I caught your drift...Just becoming more, and more difficult to distinguish who's trolling, who/what's a bot, etc. I hear you though.
This is the TYT I know and love.
Lol... Hillary gave speeches to wall Street and that was all was needed to call her corrupt. But heaven forbid anyone else being held to that standard is rushing to judgement.
that wasnt all that was needed, it was all the things she said in the debates and all the rhetoric she used against bernie that made it obvious she believes corporatism is the same thing as capitalism I.E. she thinks the government should be privately owned I.E. she is corrupt AF.
Call her doctor.
I think it's entirely possible the Russians could have used Stein, regardless of whether or not she meant for it. We don't know what the investigators know, and as Cenk keeps saying, if she didn't do anything, then she should turn up clean.
I believe we should investigate every single government employee from the president to the postman!
I voted for jill stain myself
