Chuck Schumer On President Donald Trump Defense Team: 'Their Whole Argument Is Diversion' | MSNBC

  1. The Republicans in the Senate have a choice….can Trump survive the truth or can they survive the cover-up? 75% is a arguement that could be persuasive

    1. Michael M ………….. Sen. Schumer 100% correct . trump lawyers presented NO positive defense . Just diversion, distraction, and faux-legal mumbo-jumbo to muddy the waters and confuse .

    2. Donald Trump announce the peace plan because he wanted to get Billy out of the spotlight of his criminal indictments just like the indited impeached Donald Trump

  2. Trump defense distraction:
    Defense 1 – It’s all about the Biden’s they are the guilty ones
    Defense 2 – it’s all about the process and Democrats were unfair to Trump
    Defense 3 – Abuse of power isn’t a crime
    Defense 4 – It’s the Democrats fault, read the transcript
    Defense 5 – Impeachment is an outdated process
    …and on and on…..

    1. Kevin stevens
      Biden’s are going down. You’re ignorant to the truth that trump had legitimate reasons to withhold aid

    2. @Closeoutracer Hahaha impeachment isn’t based on the criminal code. Interesting factoid: the Constitution was drafted BEFORE the Criminal code even existed.

      What a bunch of hypocrites the Rethuglicans are. Clinton was impeached based on a sexual act between consenting adults, which came to light during an investigation into a real estate deal where the Clinton’s were defrauded i.e., they were the victims of the crime. IN OTHER WORDS, FOR NO “UNDERLYING ” CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. But Clinton had the guts to testify under oath, which Cowardly Don the Con HAS REFUSED TO DO BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE WILL GET CAUGHT FOR PERJURY!

  3. They complain about not having first-hand witnesses but they refuse to hear from the first-hand witnesses. Where’s the logic? Unbelievable!

    1. You’re a marxist like every so called democrat. Our goal is to eventually wipe out every communist dressed up as Democrats in this country. And annihilate their base.

    2. @Johnny Johnstone I hope someone in your life has taken away the sharp objects. You sound more like a danger to yourself than to others.

  4. *It never ends, does it, MAGAtrash?*
    *Traitor Trump is **_constantly and consistently_** in the center of filth, degradation, perversion, dishonor and failure.*

    1. And after this is over the dems will blame Russia lmao … how it must feel to keep losing over and over ?

    1. Blows me away. Watched hearings, respectfully, trying to be objectve, then the variety of news casts after~WTF? Circus acts complete with juggling clowns. Seriously? What mind set/balls does one have to take a shared reality, reinvent and present on tv the reinvented story. With that clearly identified skill set, we vote for them to lead our country?

  5. The defense attorneys went from defending Trump to exposing his crimes all in 3 days. It was sad to watch.

  6. We are all in this. Let’s all hear and see this through . It’s never going to end. For the good of America and for you the people , let’s find out together.

  7. Never forget: their defence went from “it didn’t happen” to “ok it did happen but so what, it’s not impeachable”.

  8. Edward R. Murrow — “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” — “Good night, and good luck.”
