    1. Mary Ann LeCain I simple explained the law and what is in the constitution.
      You can find on the internet side from the government and about every network explained. There is an Dutch investigative journalist in Washington and I get an news letter every week. He explained it the same way.
      Biden you can say that his son should not have take the job but how about Ivanka and her husband. They already worked in the White House when Trump negotiated 5 trading licenses for Ivanka in China and in exchange Trump lifted the sections on an Chinese tech company.
      That kind off nepotism is worse then Biden’s son working for an company. The investigation in that company was over for an year before the IMF, Europe and the US wanted the prosecutor gone because he did not do his job. The IMF was holding money as well. Like Pence Biden good not make any decision without approval from Obama and the government.
      It is all an smear campaign. Trump was not interested until Biden announced his bid for president.
      Can you explain for me why it is that Trump and his family are allowed to do anything that is against the law. Like what I told you and violating the law when it comes to earning money from your company while in office. Asking countries to intervene in your domestic problems etc.
      And the democrats are at fault for every little thing in the book.
      The republicans and president are allowed to be corrupt and fraudulent and the democrats have to be holier then the pope.

  1. There is a huge difference between Nixon and Trump. When Nixon raised his fingers, people were able to see them.

    1. @Biggus Dickus
      Make fun of Trump’s fingers? Well you ain’t seen nothing yet, just wait to see him when he raises his little tiny toad!

    1. His aides, allies (and family) know very well that when he (Trump) goes down, they will go down with him, willingly or not. They’re clinging on by their fingernails to a sinking ship…

    2. @Wilson LMAO another doom and gloom democrat predicting President Trumps Downfall again. Dumbass democrats keep trying and failing..

  2. The difference between Nixon and Trump is that Nixon was a man about his business. He told his men exactly what to do and they did it. Trump beats around the bush asking other foreign leaders to help him.

    1. uhohhhsteven , if Nixon wasn’t crippled with such paranoia what is written in the history books about him would be much different. At least he loved his country enough not to put it through an impeachment, he recognized he had been caught and resigned. Meanwhile Trump has visions of civil war, once again putting himself over the country. He claims fake news, I claim fake patriot.

    2. Cube Tank I agree, Nixon knew what he was doing was wrong and took responsibility. He didn’t tangle the lives of so many other people that otherwise wouldn’t have broken the law. Trump made people who weren’t even in legal jeopardy to begin with, perjure themselves into a prison sentence. That’s not a leader, that’s a dictator.

    1. @Henry Peck
      You are gettjng your facts from cnn msnbc. It shows. You cannot get the truth by watching MSM. Not possible. Don’t you want to know the truth?

    2. @Bill McCabe, your comments contravene what you supposedly hold animosity towards! I find those that share your beliefs intriguing because obviously rather than taking the time to examine history you rather come to your conclusion and rely on fictitious information.

      Have you EVER taken the time to learn the method Hitler used to become one of the world’s most influential public speaker who created the largest German political party? How the man learned to become charismatic to the point his followers became enamored with him? The promises of a strong economy, the creation of his own political theory? Obviously, you do NOT have a clue!!

      I find absorbing Trump’s hatred towards Muslims (among others) is no different from Hitler’s towards Jews. Unlike you! I study both men characterization which happens to be quite similar, take a look at Trump’s March 30, 2011, interview on Fox News with Bill O’Reilly vs Hitler’s Munich speech on July 28, 1922…….. Still, folks like you are no different from those in Germany back then. Thank the good Lord your mentality is not shared by the majority in this country.

  3. Nothing surprises me anymore from this corrupted 45 and his administration.. 45 will lie and have people covering up for him.

    1. 0:39 LOL! “Nixon was a *_patriot._* All the crazy things he did, he never would have accepted help from a foreign power for his own personal interest in an election. Particularly one that would compromise the US strategic interest.” *LOL! Nixon had an aide contact the South Vietnamese to persuade them **_not_** to agree to a peace deal before the 1968 election.* President Johnson discovered this and considered charging Nixon but decided against it. IMHO CNN is totally biased (and I’m being *_diplomatic_* here). I constantly have to parse what you are telling us. This is why I don’t watch your clown show anymore. BTW, don’t think I don’t know how you are covering for Biden and the Ukraine. I’ve seen his video 3 times now. Here’s *_one_* available: https://youtu.be/KCF9My1vBP4

    2. And BTW the real reason for those guns being in civilian hands is so we can defend ourselves from monsters like you and the leftist cronies . Cowards that would use the government to make others to bend to their will . That’s called tyranny moron . This is what our forefathers fought and died for . And the left is trying to bring it back . We won’t let that happen .

    3. Actually Jesus would do exactly what Trump’s doing . And that’s the point now isn’t it . The left is moving more and more to the likeness of Stalin , Hitler and Mao . And there is no place in this world that should allow beliefs like those to flourish . The left is on a path of destruction that will destroy America and all of us with it . You and I … THIS IS THE FRACTURE that Trump was talking about . THIS IS THE FRACTURE that the democrats are causing . So right now you are proving Trump and the nut job right .

  4. IMPEACH!!!!!! AND SEND STRAIGHT TO JAIL!!! We have criminals in our sacred WH! Enough is enough, this is a complete a total debacle and the hits just keep on coming…

    1. @sixstringman They have no clue. Just imagine how sad they will be when they find out that impeaching Trump won’t remove him from office, but instead will pretty much guarantee his reelection.

    2. @rompus23 probably as sad as they’ll be when they find out the Electoral College is enshrined in the constitution.

  5. I really appreciate his temperament. So many are either over the top or unsure. This guy (to me) seems incredibly knowledgeable and matter of factually.

    1. @Erik Sarmiento problem is, how do you know that you are not the one indoctrinated by newspeak. Fun, ain’t it?
      Also, regardless of whether Biden did something wrong, do you really want the president to use the power of his office against a political opponent? Even involving a foreign power? Two wrongs don’t make a right. If Biden did wrong, immediate and prosecute him. But not by a political opponent, nor by the president. This violates the separation of powers. And that worries a lot of people…

    2. Dumb people don’t know they’re dumb. The confidence of an idiot. Nothing more than an unemployed Obama holdover. “Former Trump advisor”…lol.

    1. @Christopher Hicks If you say that to a trumpard,they’ll tell you he’s just making a deal…He’s delusional and his cult is gullible

      Rudy was there but he’s doing more than the terrorism

    1. Nope just look at the comments on a Fox news YouTube video. The commentators and profile pictures screams Russian bot.

    2. @sixstringman The trial is going to be the Democrats worst nightmare. All the evidence of Democrat corruption will be exposed for all to see. Can you say TREASON! It’s time to put your leftist money where your mouth us.

  6. True. What I always said about Nixon:
    For all his ‘faults’, at least Nixon loved America, unlike Trump. Trump is the worst President in US history, really no doubt anymore!

    1. @tree man , lol that’s bc he’s one triggered trumpanzee who is unable to defend his mighty orange messiah, Cheato von Tweeto

    2. His aides, allies (and family) know very well that when he (Trump) goes down, they will go down with him, willingly or not. They’re clinging on by their fingernails to a sinking ship…

    1. Hero? They said a skunk of hear-say.
      What a patriot would undermine the own President without a credible info? Probably rat like you who will do the same to your own mom for a few $… lol

  7. Someone capture all of Lindsey Graham’s tweets for evidence when he tries to reinvent himself as a Trump hater.

  8. Imagine, we live in a time where we have a president that’s more corrupt than Nixon and more ignorant than Bush Jr. How much worse can it get, you say?? Tune in tomorrow.

    1. Trump’s lasting political legacy will be the fact that it was he who recognized and then capitalized upon the fact that a very great swath of the American electorate have IQ’s in the ‘Imbecile’ range, or lower.
      I would suggest at some point in the future, after other despots like Trump leverage this fact in democratic elections around the world and gain power similarly, that such elections will have to gravitate to being “IQ-weighted”.

    2. Rebecca Hall I’m not a Clinton fan but I don’t believe anyone can be worse that Trump. He did everything imaginable and beyond.
