Rep. Adam Schiff is a Saint for NOT slapping Devin Nunes every few minutes…
Someone should show to one of those hearings dressed as a cow.
I would've been shut up Hypocrite!
Why hasn't Nunes been recused from the proceedings since Lev Parnes implicated him?
Take a look at chronological photos of nunes throughout the course of this week. Schiff has smacked him around mentally
Don't know how he did it.
When the law is harsh for the powerless but constantly fails to hold the powerful accountable, it's nothing but a mere tool for a tyranny.
Kim Jong Fun, is that your own quote?
That perfectly describes 3rd world kleptocracies ...America is becoming one.
Amen brother
Very well said

there are a few kleptocracies in america.
i can name at least 2:
venezuela and usa.
Rudy, “I have a great passion for corruption” most honest thing the crook has ever said. Lock them all up!

Nixon - I’m not a crook
Clinton - I did not have relations with that woman
Trump - No quid pro quo
When Trump can pronounce it
Covfefe?
@@australianews Damn right!
That about sums it up🤣😂
Just no pro quo
If anyone should know a quid pro quo when he hears one, it's a guy who paid a million bucks to get an ambassadorship.
New Message most other pay you to work for them- trump on the other hand gets paid by his employees for the privilege of working with him....
Suparna I wouldn’t call it a “privilege” if it concludes to getting thrown in jail and always being called to court 😂😂😂
Thank you!!🔥💯👍
He didn't pay a million for an ambassadorship, that's just how liberal media misrepresents him because literally nobody cares about what's true, people only care about what they are told is true, and believe anything that inspires outrage and dehumanisation of what they perceive to be the other side... two sides to the same coin
@@soupsgord what a privilege!😂
We're truly in turbulent times when Florida Man is the voice of reason.

Well, Trump is the new Florida Man.
You are hillarious!
@@couragekarnga8735LMAO!
😳😱😂
When Florida man is right, you know things have gone especially off the rails.
He just wants him to be out, so he can be tried. If he's in jail, he doesn't have to be his neighbor.
Right? I've always been thankful for Florida. They have so many crazy news stories, the state acts like an attention magnet that keeps Alabama out if the news as much. When we make the Daily Show, it's generally pretty bad (like Roy Moore.)
Btw I almost immediately began singing the Alabama Man song from South Park after reading your Florida man comment (see Chin poko mon episode.)
robearberbils Alabama is ten times worse then Florida
Just wanna say impeach the fucker and have a nice day.
You know, he was so nice.
@1 7 Are you mad?
Jim Jordan behaved like a belligerent child during his questioning, and Hill and Holmes and Vindman got to show America that there are still patriots left.
Ryan Jackson Jim Jordan has been acting like a child... it’s eye opening to his character and in the words of the trump world it is very SAD
Jim Jordan is one of the very few Senators who I respect. If you tried unplugging CNN and actually watching the hearings, you'll see Jordan was one of the few people making sense.

Sondland enjoyed himself way too much while testifying 😂
Yeah, he looked and acted exactly how i would expect a #45 associate to act. All he needed was a waitress passing by so he could give her a cheap come-on line.
It's his paid reality show appearance. Don't you know how much he paid tRump to get a job?

Just when I think Seth Meyers can’t get funnier, gotta watch again, my laughing drowned much out.🤓
Best question to make so far: "ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN, OR ARE YOU AN AMERICAN"?
I remember Seth from snl, this is full in cringe 😕
No the Best Question would be "Are you American or a Socialist Democrat" The 2 are not Compatible.
You can be both. Not all Republicans agree with the most vocal republican politicians, and many disagree with trump and don't understand why he is still in office. Besides, "American" has never meant "non republican" and, hopefully, never will
@@gunnerdj5629 Uhhhh.... even by the very definition, no, those are not incompatible. I get it, you think a socialist democrat wants stuff that erodes the foundation America was built on.
Sure, that's fine to think. But even if people who call themselves "socialist democrats" want stuff that counters traditional american values, that's just an incorrect label, or the things they want are the incompatible part, not the group as a whole itself.
America was literally built on the foundation of having social (or individual, depending on the group) ownership of means of production and goods. Even though there are tons of types of socialist movements, they have that core idea in common, which isn't *against* the foundation or intent behind the formation of America. Sure, some ways to achieve socialist ideals may be detrimental to certain freedoms or the core principals of the country, but only those specific methods are incompatible with America's core values. The basic goals are similar in a lot of ways and aren't incompatible.
Short example- Wanting to be alive forever and wanting to not die are similar ideals that are compatible, but if the "not die" group advocates being frozen and sent off to deep space to literally avoid dying forever, THAT method is counter to living forever (since you aren't really living).
@@noblesseoblige319 Anything that takes the away what one earned to give something that is not needed to sustain life is wrong. Why should I or anyone else be responsible for bad life choices that some on else makes? There are Charities for this where people willingly give to. That is the right and proper way. As for Socialized health care. Ask yourself why a great majority of the finest Dr in the world are in America. Simple Here they get paid the most. The idea that a majoritarian of people become Dr or Lawyers or almost every other profession for other reasons then the amount of money they can earn is Ignorance. Sure a small % go into medicine or Law for selfless reasons but that is such a tiny %. People me you all of us work for $$ We find places to live where taxes are the lowest. I now live in FL because there is no Income Tax. There are basic rights. We decided on what is a Right and what is not a long time ago. A Right can not come at the expense of any other. It is does then it is a forced right. There is not one aspect of Socialism they works will ever work or will not destroy the Country it is unleashed in. Even Social Security when it was first set up was based on they put a small % of what a person earns then give it back after a age. This does not truly work anymore because it was never meant to last 10 or more years. Now back to socialized medical. How many people will go into the medical field when they are paid less then say a Carpenter? The government is NEVER the answer it is always the problem. America has come a long way from its Ideal of a State rule. The 10th Amendment has been chipped at so long it is almost gone. America has lost her way and just maybe with Trump and the new Republican party we can once gain be a Country where the most Political power resides at the State level and even more at the Country and City town level.
Mr. Meyers, from everyone around the planet, thank you for your service.
"The difference between then and now, isn't the difference between Nixon and Trump, it's the difference between that Congress and this one." -Chairman Schiff
As a Republican myself, I'm deeply ashamed of my party. *This is the time for them to stand up TO Trump, and up FOR us!*
If not... RIP GOP; you've done it to yourself, you've committed suicide. 🥀💀 What a shame.
Props for adhering to reason when many others are digging their heads into the sand. Proud independent here, but the truth is certainly getting ugly for the trumpees, as if it wasn't ugly enough already.
@@prescottmajette5290 Country over party! ✌️💜🇺🇲
Republicans are too fucking stupid to commit political suicide as they will just double down on all of this especially when Trump gets reelected in 2020.
@@IAmSuzyQ Absolutely! I hope this whole incident is the seed that leads our country to abandon the two party system.
We should vote for people, not parties. For too long a large population of voters have made decisions based on the idea of a party they think they align to because of where they are from, race, class or a couple of hot button issues. We need to learn to support candidates based on merit instead of party. Perhaps this will lead to the end of party loyalties that have been destroying our country.
Also Nixon was intelligent enough to know the game was up. Trump's stupidity and egomania are so extreme that he has no such awareness.
"No f**** left to give" just about sums this whole saga up. Speaking as an English person, would you just get on with it; the man's as guilty as sin.
"A closer Look" is a dynamite show- a most brilliant way to present the impeachment hearings ... wish it was more mainstream ... thanks Seth
1) It's a segment from a show 2) its very main stream. Its on every weeknight.

And they'll keep on denying it forever just because...

Have we reached the end of the beginning of the end yet? It's been 3 years and for a beginning of the end that seems like a long time.
Do the GOP really think history is going to judge them kindly for this?
They don't care.
PrimeNumber19 They’ve got no morals and no shame.
They are too far up their own asses to think like human beings.
They and their voters like the idea of a dictatorship. One where they can put all those civil right seeking libs in their place.
PrimeNumber19, yes, they really do because they're so bloody stupid.
" and everyone was nodding in agreement"
So he's saying that pretty much everyone around them literally new about this and have been lying to the whole country to protect themselves from being fired. So to the people who sat and did nothing, YOUR JOB IS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, not to cover the actions of a mad man. If you would choose your job over the wellness and security of the men and women of this country, RESIGN. . .
Definitely sounds like Trump doesn’t know that Kiev is the capital of Ukraine.
Minnie Venkat he probs only thought it was a chicken dish.
*Kyiv
President dumb ass 🤦♀️
But Moscow is so nice in November !!
He does not know anything about anything other than grifting people.
It would be nice to have a president who isn’t an extortionist and a liar.
V and doesn’t tweet.
V I really hated that Obama sides with the banks over the American people but when trump chose Russia over us, I wished for that financial trickster Obama to lead us as a people again
And a racist.
..and a DISGRACE to the human race
He makes Ms13 like angels
Seth is basking in the afterglow of TRUTH.
Why hasn’t anyone noticed that Donald Trump doesn’t know where Kiev is?
canadian here. wasnt trump bragging about colorado's wall or something?
Pretty sure we're at the point where we'd be more surprised if he *did* know where it is.
In that little note of his writen in sharpie he spelt Zelensky wrong. If we are gonna stay here and talk about the things Donald gets wrong we are gonna be here all day
He only knows it’s the location of a chicken dish
Also, FYI, the city’s official spelling has been Kyiv since the early 90s.
Fiona Hill devastated the Trump toadies to such an extent that they gave up asking her questions and simply filled up their time making silly speeches.

It almost doesn’t matter. His base will defend him.
Most of them are angry old men - and the few who are really crazy enough to pick up weapons are more of a deal for the FBI then the National Guard.
More importantly the republican party, specifically politicians, will defend him
Never confuse a Trump Cultist with facts.
But the base is shrinking a little, and there aren't enough of them to outvote the majority.
Robert James Unfortunately I’ll have to agree
Noiiice, that person on the phone ROCKED.

@Jonathan Taylor I love weed as much as the next guy, but this seriously supersedes your weed legalization promotion. I know you just wrote a research paper on it for grade 11, but seriously relax. Extorting a NATO ally thats currently fighting a Russian backed insurgency takes major precedence over "weed is chill man, why is it illegal?"
@Jonathan Taylor gottdamn... didn't know it was that dark
@Jonathan Taylor but some presidential candidates are motioning for complete legalization

@BurglaaR Tv To my knowledge, there's been no successful revolution in history against a government where the army, or a portion of it, did not take part on the revolutionary side. The civilians themselves don't win the revolution. They win the backing of the military, and the military wins the revolution. Crack open a history book.

I f*cking hate the term “Quid Pro Quo” now.
Mr. Dragon yeah. Ruining Latin word by word until it goes extin... wait.
I still can only think of Hannibal Lecter. "Quid pro quo Clarice. Quid. Pro. Quo."
If it helps, anytime anyone in the media says it "literally means 'this for that,'" they're not actually correct... in Latin, *literally* quid pro quo is translated as 'what for what'
So any time you hear the Latin, just mentally replace it with "what for what" and laugh at how appropriately stupid everyone sounds
Jimbo Slice I snorted. Thank you.
How about: tit for tat?
I don’t even live in the United States and I’m scared
Skye
Don’t be scared. If it comes to that, and he is not impeached and removed or if he is not voted out. We will flip the senate to Democratic and legislate in the best interest of the American people. Hopefully it will benefit the rest of the world too.
only now? The US has been fucking around for decades... Especially outside the US, but also inside. Corporatism/lobbyism has always been this scary, but apparently it takes a Trump for your average Joe to become acquainted with how politics and power nearly always lead to corruption. It's why we all have governments and a ton of rules. And still it happens, because humans are creative and most of the others do not care if their own life is devoid of continuous frustration. The US' blind patriotism and the belief the US is the greatest thing ever, no matter what, is just as scary. Trump has very little to do with that. Nor with the US ties to the Saudi regime, or its animosity towards Iran - which used to be Persia, until the US screwed around with it. Like it did with many south American countries...
Here, please read this (a speech on interventionism from a highly decorated US general, in the 30's!!!):
"War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make *Mexico,* especially *Tampico,* safe for American oil interests in 1914.
I helped make *Haiti* and *Cuba* a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in.
I helped in the raping of *half* *a* *dozen* *Central* *American* *republics* for the benefits of Wall Street.
The record of racketeering is long.
I helped purify *Nicaragua* for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?).
I brought light to the *Dominican* *Republic* for American sugar interests in 1916.
In *China* I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."
And it didn't stop there as we all know too well...
Vietnam? Lies (kennedy got murdered over it, that and his wish to get rid of 'secret societies').
Afghanistan? Lies (it was the Saudis).
Iraq? Lies (no wmd, but Saddam refused to play ball).
Many other skirmishes aren't as obviously deceitful, but they basically all are. War is about profit and producing weapons is a lucrative hobby for the US. Paid for by the blood of US citizens, while their vets are left to rot and often commit suicide. USA! USA! USA!
If you still have the stamina, take a look at this too: www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.html
Like I said: people don't care... Obviously. We all know we get screwed over. But revolution takes a bit more screwing over and the elites have been careful not to end up like the Russian Tsars. It's no coincidence communism was coined the enemy of capitalism. Communism starts with murdering the elites. Capitalism is the elitist tool to maximise profit and it has led us to Trump. But somehow, Trump get's the blame, while corporatism and lobbyism remain - the true reason all US presidents are basically puppets. Even Trump (he only gets to remain if he pleases certain people - because quid pro quo is at the basis of US politics).
TLDR? Figures - it's why this speech from Smedley Butler never resonated with the public... Now matter how he was praised and decorated.
This impeachment business has blanketed our country. We're all being smothered under it. We are suffocating. Lucky you!!! 👋🍸 Cheers.
@@corbeau-_- Only real problem with Trump is he played the roll just like the rest a puppet
He took the bait and ate that hook
He spoke about being for the people when if by his choice never cleaned any swamp
He claimed he was not evil and or corrupt when look at what's going on
I'm sure everything in the letter is probably 100 percent true
When your doing deals and used to doing them like I'm sure Trump was
I scratch your back and you scratch mine isn't supposed to happen as a president
So let's just say Trump is fully right in his mind for doing and saying what he says doesn't really make it right
Like being a driver in a bank robbery. Cop: sir you know why your going to jail? Driver nope I do not! All I was, was the driver and nothing else i did nothing.
Cop: just cause all you do is drive doesn't exclude you from the crime.
Its pretty damm sad that as humans all we know is corruption on both sides and hunger for money, money
Money is absolute and money rules absolutely
Don’t be scared. The world will move on. The U.S. will just become an old former empire with no power, like England.
Fiona Hill would be a great Secretary of State or of Defense.
Well most US cabinet members are usually uber racists so shed fit.
I’m not a fan of hers, but I have to imagine Hillary is hysterical right about now.
Secretary Clinton is probably thinking "bet you idiots wish you had voted for me," and "you can't say you weren't warned this would happen," as America goes down the tubes. Trump's supporters have proven that "deplorable" is far too soft a term for them--they barrage gov't officials with death threats just for doing their jobs and obeying the law, and there have been a thousand mass shootings since Trump's election, every one carried out by one of his supporters and inspired by right wing hate radio and Fox news. Everyone who disparages Clinton is still unable to point to one example of wrong-doing by her, and she has been exonerated of all the accusations about her emails, server, etc. She's a law-abiding, patriotic citizen and the people who continue to slander her are the ones who are un-American and corrupt.
I'm betting that IF she had secured the Presidency we wouldn't be in the shitstorm in the first place. Ukraine would have received the Javelin anti-tank missiles No favors needed. hell, she'd probably wouldn't lead the US into one flaming dumpster fire to another.
It's not as much bribery as it is extortion.
@@dougcrane8031 "fine with it"?? zelensky is the new prez of a country literally under attack by russia, and the only thing holding putin in check is knowing that the usa has ukraine's back. then zelensky is told to do the obviously corrupt thing trump says or he will let the world know that the usa is withdrawing that critical support. wtf do you think his options were? or do you just imagine that he is as daft as you sound here?
@@dougcrane8031 In other words, Zelensky didn't want to do it. When the quid vanished, he declined to deliver the quo. If it was a genuine case, why would it have needed Trump to apply so much leverage, and why would Z decline to announce the investigation as soon as the leverage was removed? Of course he won't say he felt pressured. Trump can make Ukraine disappear as a sovereign nation with a phone call to Putin (who doesn't need asking twice) and a phone call to the Pentagon (that would be trickier but they're trained to follow orders). Put yourself in Zelensky's place.
The X makes it sound cool
@jbaz77777 That's a curiously absurd point of view you have there.
He committed an impeachable offence. The Ukraine's government, administration and army was held to ransom. He also did those ten obstructions of justice which no one gives a rat's ass about. And he cheats at golf.
I forget what the current count of his lies told since inauguration is.

WHY IS AMERICAN REPUBLICANS SIDING WITH RUSSIA???....SO DAMN SAD!
Because they're on the Oligarchs payroll
Pee-Tape.
It's amazing that everybody seems to forget for the last hundred years we've been fighting the Russians in one way or another, that they're always trying to make a Gambit for the Mediterranean and it it's always our job with a united Europe to fight them off.
Spy games have been going on for decades, back when they use real honey pots, submarines Etc but nowadays we don't need anything nearly as expensive or flashy when you have the internet and all the data in The Ether up there just waiting to be analyzed and used by whomever.
Bring back paper and pencil ballots, they're UNhackable or better yet go to Oregon's Mail In system of voting!!! (Over 80% turnout!)
There been so many voting machine failures here in Texas in the last few years, that I truly fear Russia / Trump winning. With gerrymandering, the Electoral College, and purging the voting rolls of hundreds of thousands - it almost seems as if our democracy doesn't stand a chance.
Citizens united fucked our democracy, I hope SCOTUS is proud of itself!
Because Republican politicians are clearly useful idiots too focused on their self-interest.
BlowItOutYourCunt The irony is that Republicans have always told the American people to fear Russia and how Russia is our enemy.
Now republicans are endorsing a puppet of Putin.
Sean Patrick Maloney was AWESOME! He smacked him down after that!

Trump's hearing is SOOOO GREAT that he can't hear what ANYONE is saying.
Lmbao!
Why was Sondland eagerly forthcoming until they asked him who the investigation would benefit?
@1 7 like, why was he so eager to "tell all" except for when he was asked who the investigation would benefit? He wasn't so willing to answer at that point. Weird.
Watching the hearings there were a number of times he got like that. It seemed to me that he was being careful with his wording to CYA; he knows he's in a precarious position & they are attacking witnesses- trying to discredit them on any little thing. He doesn't want to be sued for libel/slander, misspeak & purger himself, or fall into what could be a 'trap'. In this instance if he answered Trump right away, that opens him up to the opposition framing it as characterizing his opinion as fact or some such. He's careful to the point of being a touch paranoid.
@1 7 thank you SO much for that. I really wanted to know. I didnt realize that you were the one who both asked and answered me my question. I'm not so sharp. Lol. I only see (and feel) when something's not quite right like with Sonland's testimony here.

She was soooo incredible!
She was all facts and so eloquent she’s my fave person today lol
It's too bad A Closer Look did not show more clips of her testimony. She came off so professional and knowledgeable.

There are more crooks in Trump’s orbit than the entire Sopranos series.
@William Stewart Trump was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, and he is using the 4-year-old excuse, "I was just putting the cookie back." Well, he could give testimony and that would clear this whole thing up. He could release tapes of all Ukraine conversations, and we would know for sure what was said.
If Trump was a competent crook, there would be nothing incriminating on those tapes. But we both know he is a failure at everything he does, and his sycophants are falling on their swords all around him.
William Stewart delete the internet
@William Stewart full transparency for everyone, and everyone should testify. That includes trump taxes. He wrote off over $1Billion in losses while he was (ghost) 'writing' the art of the scam.
Do you know how trump became a millionaire?
His dad gave him a billion and he 'invested' it.
@William Stewart Every other public servant is required to reveal employment history, and business holdings to qualify for their position. Trump found a loophole, by lying repeatedly, until the vetting process was over. Despite demanding those emails and excoriating Hillary for it, Trump immediately continued to use his own private server for government business. Over half his cabinet, including his kids and kushner, use the server at trump tower still. Trump is extorting other nations for favours and business interests, withholding government funds until he gets his way. He is not acting in america's interest, but you're fine with that, and you're fine with most of his cabinet defying congressional oversight, because you're a hypocrite. Are you counting on another one of his sycophants to fall on his sword for trump? 6 are already found guilty.
@william Turner you’re delusional Trump Cultist. Have a great day
Listen to the people Don and do the honorable thing and resign . it's never too late to do the right thing for the first time in your life.
i'll be disappointed if he resigns. we need to prove to ourselves the system works and actually impeach him out of office. but quite frankly, he's almost guaranteed to be brought up on other criminal charges as soon as he's not the sitting president. so i don't think resigning is an option for him. at this point he pretty much needs to declare himself emperor for life in order not to be charged with a litany of high crimes. it'll be so much fun to watch him throw every single cabinet member he's ever had under the bus as the charges accumulate though.
There hasn’t been a good march on Washington in so long . . .

Listened in on the hearings today on C-SPAN and when he came up this Fla. guy absolutely made my day 😸😄😹
How about the Alabama guy? The best!
Knowing that impeachment will be crushed at the Senate, I do hope that the current administration and supporting politicians get voted out in 2020.
I'm with you 100 percent !
I'm just happy whenever Trump's name is uttered it'll forever be linked with IMPEACHED.
Doesn't it seem almost quaint now to say Bill Clinton was impeached for lying about a consensual affair?
Yup, at least you see that
VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
@@Edu_Kate Clinton was impeached due to a single lie because "the president must be someone the American people can trust"
Now we have Trump lying more than any political figure in history and openly requesting foreign governments to interfere with our democracy on his behalf. Hell he even committed a felony altering a weather map with a damned sharpie to try to back up one of his obvious lies.
Trump won't be impeached because he's already made his deals and put people in positions of power to protect him.. and he will "win" 2020, turning America into a Russian puppet with a fake democracy.
In short we are all fucked.
In Bolton's defense, he's on record according to Dr. Hill saying "I dont want any part of this drug deal you and Mulvaney are putting together"

In Ukrainian, it is pronounced more like "Keev." The Russian version is "Key-ev."

Trump hired Rudy because, he can't get any better attorney.
Propably saw him on TV, holding up a phone with incriminating evidence and thought "Wow, this guy attorney uses phones".

One of his best lies ever.
@@kevincolbertjr.6844 But hey, Trump is very stable genius with unmatched wisdom, he's not making mistake by hiring Rudy. I'm wondering is it even possible be worse than Rudy?
He hired Rudy because the price was right.....FREE! Rudy has been claiming he's working for free, plus he knows little donnie doesn't pay his bills, remember folks YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

Or we could stop making up new phrases and call it what it is. Cult behavior.
This says more about what republicans are ready to accept as long it fits their retarded agenda
Dr. Hill is the most important and credible witness and I think her contribution will go down in history and we should recognize it more now.
Do you remember when they said that Obama will destroy the USA lol lol lol
Nixon : I'm not a Crook!
Trump : I'm a Crook. so what!
Republicans : We are all Crooks. Get over it!
Putin : Well done. Mission Accomplished!.
Exactly! They showed that they couldn't handle the truth and facts when Fiona Hill broke it down.
But why keep going back to the Russia investigation and Obama's term in office? They know that their defense for Trump is weak on this Ukraine mess.
Sen. Joe McCarthy comes to mind
Roodles: "I've been bribing people for 50 years and I've never had a complaint! People say I'm so good at it!"
I admire Holmes and everyone else who testified against the president and other powerful members of the government. That takes serious guts and integrity
The Impeachment Hearings is the ONLY reason I renewed my cable this month.
First Denial: “This man was with him." But Trump denied it. "Woman, I never met the man”
Second Denial: “This fellow knows them." Again Trump denied knowing. “Woman, I hardly knew the man”
Third Denial: “Surely you are one of them, for your transcript gives you away." Then he began to call down Nunes and Jordan on them and he swore at them, "The man played a minor role!" Immediately a rooster crowed.

You boneheads have been saying this since the Mueller investigation. It's over dude. Trump approval is on the rise and he leads all Democratic contenders in Kep swing states like Wisconsin. In order to be a witness you had to see or hearing something first hand. The only that did was Sundland.

I sense a bot in this thread.
Pompeo, Bolton, Giuliani, Barr, Mulvaney, Pence and Trump have to testify.
They can be asked, but can refuse, since Trump is the subject, and the others coconspirators, they are protected constitutionally, even though this is not a Court, by your Constitution's 5th Amendment.
@@Apis4 the 5th amendment doesn't just apply in the courtroom its valid everywhere
@@adamperry4610 That's what I said.
Irrespective of if it's a Court or not, any other hearing or tribunal or assembled body, public or even private sector, the right to avoid self incrimination is Conditionally mandated, and cannot be abridged under any circumstances.
@@adamperry4610 Thus, all those parties named by the OP, especially as de facto indictees, cannot be compelled to testify, as they have a constitutionally protected right to abstain from self incrimination. Anywhere, not just a Court.
Maybe when the case goes to the Senate for trial THEY can get them to appear?
It's already looking like Trump lied to Mueller in his written answers. That came out in the Roger Stone trial.
I would love to have a conversation (not fight or argument) about this with a person still supporting this man. I can not understand their blind support. Me: Like that go happen.

Honestly I have tried and it is mind boggling! It’s like mind control we see in the movies to me. His supporters somehow feel he has done good but no one can name one thing that has benefitted America as a whole 🤷🏽♀️. The closest I’ve come to an explanation is they support his homophobia, abortion policies, immigration and I’ve been told so what, corruption has existed in all administrations.
For me, None of those come close to justifying this lying, cheating, sexist, racist asshole in the WH 😳
@@mamadukebrooks9537 I'm from Texas and we have a saying here. "Don't pee down my boot and tell me it's raining." That sums up my feeling for him. He is "Pisting" on America (disrespecting) while looking into our eyes, petting our collective heads and telling us it raining (like we are stupid). I wish I could dismiss him as prejudice, mean or stupid but I can't. He feels to me, pure evil.
Everybody repeat after me “quid pro quo”😂
Quid pro quo equals bribery... Except when the Democrats and corrupt lobbyists do it on a daily basis...
If you feel lobbyists have too much power and want to reduce the influence business interests have over government... Please, be my guest! I'll cheer you on!
But if your aim is simply to excuse Trump's illegal activity by saying that other bad things happen in government - that's BS. If we're constantly interrupting any effort to fix something that's gone wrong by saying "but what about this other thing that's also a problem?" then we can never hope to get anything done.
