Ex-Pompeo Aide Testifying After Resignation | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Real Patriotic Americans are coming out now. Enough of these messes and the joke ruining this country.
Adventure54 – *_STONEWAAAAALLING_*
@Crimdor What’s the matter, does that response means you’ve ran out of substance……the little you came with?
@Jeffery Blake Please do not spread lies about Donald Trump, our best President ever. President Trump does not lie. He will be re-elected in 2020 and 2024.
Trump is already kicking and screaming and throwing tantrums. I’m sure he has an exit plan to Russia in the works as well. No extradition from there. lol
@Cornelius Gal +s0
Betty M. Wouldn’t it be fun if he scurried there, and then things went *really* bad…being broke ain’t fun anywhere but I bet it especially sucks in Russia.
@Cornelius Gal It is called speculation comrade.
He will be given sanctuary by Netanyahu, he’s done more for the illegal occupiers of Palestine than anyone else.
🤣🤣🤣… good one
Thank you to all the patriots who put country over party each day to keep ALL Americans safe.
Tigh Evans Amen!
“The Duty of a Patriot is to protect his country from his government” Thomas Jefferson
Yes. Salute to all the wonderful people choosing to do the right thing.
@Crystal Giddens
You really want to go there??
How many crazy, debunked conspiracy theories has Traitor Trump tweeted? 🌼
@Daisy Elmir CNN hosts gasp at guest’s claim that Tulsi Gabbard is ‘a Russian puppet’
@Crystal Giddens I’m Dutch, I know what happens in my country, you’re lying.
This is obstruction of justice–not stonewalling. These cases should be rushed through the courts. People are dying.
U r so right
@Hayden No 100 likes for you
Slippery slope. That is what’s done in Communist countries and banana republics. Where were you educated? Did you take any civics classes, or study the Constitution? Or do you get you information from the elite cabal globalist’s corporate med
Cue 1st Amend who is dying?
The holy than thou Mick Mulvaney, the Tea Party hero who went around telling everyone about corruption in the Obama administration. Nothing but a corrupt worm .
And all is said and done he may wind up in federal prison
@James Ricker i hope you are right he belongs in prison along with most of this administration
Republicans project – it’s just what they do.
It’s actually very telling.
Antony Stringfellow You’re on it. BAMMMM !!!!!
You def have a point there
There is no honor among thieves. The domino’s are falling. Let’s hope they all fall.
Sondlund is the only criminal testifying this week, trying to save himself. The rest are career State Dept. officials, who are testifying voluntarily.
I love how democrats where crying about stonewalling.
Day after day we get people testifying.
How naive are you people?
@Crimdor The Tramp administration was/is stonewalling, most of the people testifying now are doing so against the White House’s wishes, which is making the WH’s efforts to stop others from testifying pretty much futile. This is even mentioned in the video above.
I have been to jail, there’s more honor there then the white house
1954 Hiss act = if federal worker is convicted of a crime , they lose federal pension … no long term civil servant will risk that .
What do you think they do , when options are , testify to congress or break the law to protect T-Rump , Pence and Pompeo … what option would you pick ?
I can hear Hannity tonight; Deep State that and Deep State this.
@athena icaria When Trump wins again in 2020 and Rachel Madcow has another breakdown on live T.V., are you gals gonna go out in the street and scream at the sky again?
@Pha Q When mushroom brain loses, we’ll hold back the jeers and cheers because many of us would prefer not to see him go to prison. We’d rather have him drawn and quartered.
@athena icaria At least you tolerant liberals are consistent in your unabashed violence.
Seriously, will you go out in the streets and scream at the sky again? Like you did in 2016 when you thought Hillary would win?
@Pha Q Hillary who?
@athena icaria Never mind…
well America are you tired of a mobster running the country ? 😎
i was tired of it three years ago when he got elected
Wannabe mobster
Trump: National security is a YUGE cash machine.
Richard Darlington EXACTLY. I’ve heard this quote before. Thanks for posting it. It’s perfect. 👍🤣
S A And natural resources; gas and oil.
I love how democrats where crying about stonewalling.
Day after day we get people testifying.
How naive are you people?
@Toni sumblin
Yeah, it’s a good one.
You’re welcome, Toni.
Old fool in the white house thought he could singlehandedly corrupt every govt official.
@John3:16 Pitbull Maybe you are the one who is shocking? Trump 2020,,,,save the nation.
@Leron Inge no, they, just about , didn’t even come close to anything,,, again.Trump 2020
We have a g
ail for trump
@Logan Leslie Stop shaming and embarrassing yourself by continuing to defend this lying corrupt compromised President. It makes you look foolish.
@agf1700 Thanks, i bet logan doesnt listen with his ears but with his butt crack.
“ Sondlan was using his personal phone “
That’s a career professional !
HE PAID FOR HIS JOB IN THE WHITEHOUSE JUST LIKE BETSY DEVOS
Yup. No experience, donated to Trump and looks like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons. Another one of chumps “best people” 🖕
He’s volunteering ? another kick in Trump’s teeth for sure .
Yea its pretty bad when u volunteer to sit and get questioned for hours! He knows something and doesn’t want to go down with Trump 👍
The Trump administration is an engine, overheating, rattling noises and smoke everywhere. At some point the various parts that keep this going, are going to want to disassemble themselves from this machine.
Good.
Get out now, because, once this thing seizes up, you may suffer serious damage, no matter how tiny a cog you are.
Once enough parts start to detach themselves, because they’d like to remain useful for a future engine, it may actually come to a stop.
If the US Courts do not ultimately stand behind Congress in this issue then the USA will soon have a very different form of Government
You’re watching an attempt to take over the United States government. Where do you think Barr is ?? He’s not going around the world handing out Halloween candy.
It’s time for our second CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION, the only good thing that will come out of the criminal moron’s disasterous minority reign as the first and last wannabe king of America.
“ We are going to be winning so much that we will be sick of winning “
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 Loser
was i the only one laughing when he said that ?
“We are going to be whining so much that we will be sick of whining.“
@K Huynh The whining must have been one of Donald’s best strategies as a toddler and all through adolescence. Was that last week, or are we still waiting?
Mulvaney looks like his head is going to explode
tina Haynes 😁😂. Yes he does.
tina Haynes Ohhhh, well SAID…!!!!!!
Let hope he does explode
@Unkown known bahahaha gold
Common Sense A Super Power in public so we can watch it over and over🤣🤣🤣
“ I will have only the very best “
“ I know the very best people “
to be fair he meant criminals
Manafort, Flynn, Gates, Popadopoulis, Cohen, Epstein, Nader, Sater, Giuliani. Trumplethinskin’s Xmas card list.
And don’t forget, “I have the best words”
I’m still laughing at diaper Donny’s letter to Turkey’s President Erdogan. It reads like it was from a fourth grader. 🤣🤣
…something new every day with that delusional clown.
@indigosigh : I don’t think you understand words. English must be your second language as you do not understand sarcasm.
@indigosigh Sarcasm is hard when it’s in written form cause you cant see my sarcastic face so its ok.
So yes, I am being sarcastic and no, I’m not American although being mental…… well, I have to check with my psychiatrist.
P/s to all that caught my sarcasm, bravo, beer is on me.
@indigosigh
Try to keep up. Our allies that Trump burned are the Kurds. ISIS, who Marcia L. referred to are the bad guys that are being liberated because the Kurds had been keeping them contained & now will not be doing so because they’re busy defending themselves from the Truks.
Yeah this stuff is all comical but the bigger picture is we no longer hold any cards when it comes to other countries. Because especially after that letter we are being laughed at Beyond any belief. And the fact is people around the world know that the American people put him in office. People around the world are not just laughing at him they’re laughing at us stupid Americans for allowing this to happen. All I want is for everybody to go and vote I am a registered Republican and I will be switching to the Democratic party. It is time that we Americans stand up against this President and not just our Congress
Trump lies and lies and lies . What a shame of a president .
What a shame of a Republican Party and what a shame of a base.
@T McAuliffe – People have been calling it out for years though. The Republicans and Trump’s supporters must shoulder all the blame and the direction of the country and its reputation are, for the time being, still in their hands.
Tony john first rate liar 🤥
