Ex-Trump White House official: This is one referral that should worry Trump

Former Trump White House acting-chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says he doesn't think the January 6 select committee presented enough evidence that former President Donald Trump committed a crime on January 6, but says Trump should be worried about an obstruction charge. #thelead #CNN #News

  1. The vibe I get from this guy “ Well that’s just Ex-Guy being Ex-Guy.”
    Not much of a defense in my opinion.

    1. @Bill Barr 🛑 Stop Defending trump’s deadly attack on the US Capitol,maga cult. It failed too.
      Go make Q proud. Or are you a oath keeping nut or a proud boi? Your obedience is commended. Your loyalty to the Radical Right maga cult is downright Traitorous,but you people hold a flag and worship trump ignoring Democracy and threatening violence, civil war and total GQP occupation. That ain’t how it works in the USA.
      You people are Americans only if you win elections. You lose election’s and refuse to concede nowadays.
      Go to Russia and be a better Q cult boy.

    2. @Bill Barr Mulvaney said his opinion in this video was based on his “gut.” How much more “vibes” BS could you get?most importantly, Mulvaney isn’t speaking to the evidence that the J6 committee has uncovered, because he hasn’t reviewed it—per his own statements.

      Also, half of the J6 committee have their JD and were practicing lawyers—including one Assistant US Attorney and one constitutional law professor. It’s ridiculous to suggest that the J6 committee didn’t gather evidence and lay out their report and referrals with an eye to criminally charging Trump and his cronies. That’s exactly what they *did* do.

    3. @Alex Wyatt yep, adam schiff said that they had enough evidence to prosecute trump. mind you, he also said that he had viewed evidence that proved beyond doubt that trump directly colluded with russia….lol. we are all still waiting for him to produce it …hahaha

    1. And people died directly because he incited the crowd. They have Twitter messages from him inviting those people who are now in gaol because of their actions. He invited them. He said. Come to Washington. It’s gonna b wild

    2. @Jennifer Cottee No, people died because of suicide and one died of natural causes and one unarmed non threatening female veteran was killed.
      Trump always invites people to his rallies. What is wrong with that? It’s going to be wild? Why would you assume he meant that negatively?
      Did he tell people to fight physically or did he tell them to fight by having their voices heard and protest patriotically and peacefully?
      Obviously what Trump didn’t incite violence, but it was a shame the Capitol wasn’t secure on a day a million protestors were expected as we all know massive crowds have the potential to get out of control.

    3. @DAN you specifically said that trump had docs contained the nuclear codes. would you like to retract that statement?

      what documents and information do you think hillary had access to, and were on her unsecure email server, as secretary of state…lol.

      i said straight up that Dems would have a better chance of pinning trump with possessing confidential docs. i do not think that he will be criminally charged (tough to do after the precedent set with hillary). however it may make his run for president a non-starter.

      you can attack me all you like. it’s hard to take offense from someone who clearly suffers from Trump derangement syndrome. please get yourself some help

    1. @Sayres RudyTrump never asked for illegitimate votes and the rest of your comments are nonsense. Stop listening to fake news. Merry Christmas!

    2. @Elizabeth Stanley stolen documents he admitted taking , the phone call to Georgia , etc, don’t worry now that sycophant Judge Cannon is out of the picture , you cultists will see the reality of his corruption

    3. @Eduardo Rodriguez Lots of presidents took documents. Obama has a warehouse full of them and Hillary destroyed 33,000 classified emails so Trump can’t be held to a different standard regarding documents. Common sense should also tell you Trump calling a state he believed he won to find legitimate votes he thought he had is also not a crime.
      It’s time for you to get out of your cult… brainwashed and unable to use logic and think for yourself. Stop allowing fake news to take advantage of you.
      Good luck!

    4. CNN/Discovery/Warner’s new “drama” factor, as effort to compete with Rupert Murdoch’s decades-old success of Tabloid/sensationalist “media”. They are both criminal – that is, CNN’s new owner and Fox.

      They are both such clear targets/models for corruption, that decades ago, one of the lats James Bond films with Pierce Brosnan, had exactly the typical media mogul (with some sort of British accent – Jonathan Pryce) investing in military grade, secret weaponry, to start a global war – just for the “news”. Perhaps excused as dramatization of historic figures like William Randolph Hearst – often blamed for the explosion of the US naval vessel the Maine, and then profiting from its news coverage/ad-sales.

      Criminality is not new, nor innovative. Just ask “how might a criminal violate these safety barriers we are installing?” – Whether it is a bank, a US presidential election, a private email account, a celebrity’s phone service, or government’s highest level secret documents.

  2. Mick Mulvaney doesn’t want to admit Trump is guilty because that would mean he had poor judge of character or was somehow complicit

    1. @6 weeks ago • 35 years ago If only there were publicly available congressional hearings and a 150-page report which outlined the events, wrongdoing, conspirators, and corroborating evidence surrounding the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. Oh, wait…

    2. @patin319 Yes, Mick Mulvaney said, “I have news for everybody: get over it. There is going to be political influence in foreign policy.” He said that in response to Trump’s quid pro quo with Ukraine—action that earned Trump his first impeachment.

  3. Mick Mulvaney in 2022: “I’m going to make a career about being anti-Trump.”
    Mick Mulvaney, also in 2022: “Well… Trump really wasn’t THAT bad.”

    1. he has telling us what we have all known for almost 2 years.
      the committee was not able to produce a shred of evidence that could be used in court to prove that Trump committed a crime and that this witch hunt has been a complete waste of time.

  4. Mulvaney tries to argue that Trump’s attitude towards insurrection and incitement to insurrection isn’t a crime. That is a spin on facts.

  5. “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
    – Upton Sinclair

  6. Mick Mulvaney is full of it. He was one of the guys who texted Mark Meadows in late December about finding ways to keep Trump in power.

    1. This is worse than Watergate
      CNN are corrupted by the FBI by covering up the following they were holding
      meetings with them weekly.. .Trump was 100 % correct the Election was STOLEN and RIGGED by the FBI by using TWITTER and CNN to cover up Hunter’s LAPTOP FROM HELL. Elon Musk exposed it all while the Jan 6 Committee tried to divert the STOLEN ELECTION which Trump held called STOP THE STEAL Protest,..HOW RIGHT WAS TRUMP..Biden’s FBI and DOJ = Biden’s KGB ..Putin would be proud of Biden using his tactics..CNN and U-tube and their masters the FBI will NEVER show my reply ..
      Too late FBI you were all caught redhanded and CNN are covering it up like Hunter’s LAPTOP FROM HELL…It is in all Democrats DNA to LIE and DENY SHAME on Jake Tapper..

  7. ‘Does My Butt Look Fat in this Mickey”
    Well, honey, to look at this dispassionately, we need more evidence. I’m not actually inside the dress myself, so it’s hard to say either way. We need to wait to see what the mirror says.

  8. Nauseating watching and listening to him not answer Jake’s questions.
    Mick couldn’t even answer Jake’s question “just as a human being “.
    Ick

  9. This first guy is crazy even to have him on this show is crazy willing blind people like this blind person don’t want the truth wow how deep is the rabbit hole he is in

  10. I love that the people bringing up concerns about “optics” are ignoring that the present optics, and indeed the reality according to reporting from WaPO, is that Trump is getting special treatment from DOJ. The cognitive dissonance is exasperating.

  11. Never thought I’d see the day Mulvaney is on CNN. The first time he appeared I never watched CNN ever again. Guess I just can’t “get over it.”😖

  12. “Let me make myself clear. I quit AFTER the Jan 6 insurrection. “
    Sounds like someone’s shoring up their defence

    1. I CAN’T WAIT TO VOTE FOR OUR LEGITIMATE PRESIDENT, DONALD J TRUMP, IN 2024!!! VIVA J6 PROTESTERS!!! FJB AND ALL WHO SUPPORT HIM!!! ULTRA MAGA!!!

    1. So Biden is most definitely guilty of a crime by ignoring and allowing the invasion at the border….not enforcing our immigration laws….putting Americans at risk!

  13. Don’t worry Mick, DOJ is working on it and when they get all the info from the Jan 6 committee, it may all come together.
