Aired on 09/27/19.

Fmr. Intel Official: Trump Aides Could Face Criminal Exposure | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
America’s Putin.
well and aptly put
@Ken James Jr. Well it is clear as day that he would love to rule this country like Putin rules over Russia. His blurting out that Nancy Pelosi is “no long Speaker of the House” is telling us he would love to dictate with such power, as well as he would love to have the whistleblower and those who provided the information to him executed as spies. Anyone who challenges him or exposes his corruption in his mind are people he would gladly have eliminated if he could just like Putin actually does do.
@RhondaH Yes. Putin murdered all the Journalists that investigated his corruption one by one soon after he took power. Most of them died very mysterious deaths. Research it.
RhondaH , Hear, hear, well said. Witness that latest comment about the whistle blower being “close to a spy” followed by a not so subtle hint that the person should be executed. Utterly chilling. This man is a monster. The Central Park Five would have been executed decades ago if this bronze-tinted POS had had his way. And the list goes on and on.
The Don, the head of his Disorganized Crime Family.. 😀😂🤣
Impeach 45, Impeach 45!
John C. Lock him up..Lock him up! 🥳🇺🇸
Trash President; trash aides.
Just plain trash.
Dang, can never be first in the comment section. :
A.G. Fred Flintstone Barr and his DOJ, Maga Headquarters should be renamed “Department Of Jackasses” 🤔Hmmm
It isn’t the department’s fault that the mango Mussolini keeps changing their boss so he can find one who will work for him. Most of them are professionals doing a tough job.
Chanting THUMP-THUMP trump, BAM-BAM barr…..
Mr. yaba daba doo, hope they disbar you.
Get ready for enablers to start lawyering up and cutting deals, secrets – corruption getting ready to come @ a rapid pace👍☝💜😀
@Gina Kay I don’t think that games going to fly this go around.Many will be facing charges in their own illegal activity. So I’d say there going to look out for themselves first.
@BbetrGODczU L
Yes. Correct.
@BbetrGODczU L : Agree. Wether people who have found themselves mired in these circumstances by chance or are Trump appointee’s who appear to share many of his character traits. Self interest will bubble up.
Why would anyone take a fall for these rats.
Yup. Before there was no clear crime. With this disaster there are a couple, so if they don’t come in they are obstructing justice.
He has embarrassed our Country it’s time for Laural and Hardy show to hit the rode….Goodbye..
Ian Home yet I so want it to end and let’s get to task.working on reacting to climate change.
Sorry you disrespected laurel and hardy, this isn’t funny. This is more like Hitler and stalin
Ian Home That makes you just as Malignantly Narcissistic as THEM! Where are YOUR morals?
*What a mess. But we all knew this would be how it would end. Just a mess.*
I said it since the beginning……..the snowball keeps growing and growing……and keeps rolling down the hill
the whole world knew but not 50% of americans
@breakshot74 we’ve been very worried about your safety, I’m sure Trump has made you vulnerable in many ways. Standing with the USA 🇨🇦
@breakshot74 Fewer than 50%. Don’t forget – Hillary got 2% more votes than Trump, and only 61.4% of Americans eligible to vote actually did so.
Anyone in Trump’s Inner Circle cabinet or otherwise that is complicit in this cover-up is also guilty of treason old conspiracy to commit treason
Basically his entire cabinet and VP that could invoke the 25th amendment but didn’t are guilty.
They caught Trump orange handed….Impeach!
Orange handed. 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO, THANKS!!
TINY orange handed, and equally tiny orange-mushroom-peckered.
@Blue One Perhaps you are right .
i’m really smart. i know words. How about this word?: JAIL MOTHERFATHER. YOU’RE GOING TO JAIL.
LMAO!!!
The orange carcinoma will learn many NEW best words in prison. Hopefully, among them will be “forcible” ” shower” and “cornholed”
Allah Akbar, get rid of Trump and we can have open borders again. I’m celebrating, because my Muslim family wants to come to the US and are in dire need of welfare and food stamp assistance. Their country treats them like sht and won’t give them anything.
I, love it, the republican party is burning to the ground they should all be charged with domestic terrorism.
I have gone through a lot…WE have gone through a lot! It’s been a bad and scary time for people who love democracy….BUT why shouldn’t it be?
TRUE jail them all.
The hand of God will always be 💯 ready to stop whatever hurts his children !
Randy Williams, wrong…i love it, the dems will be exposed soon…
He’s not smart enough to be a mob boss–he’s a “wanna be”.
He’s been involved with mob activity for years. He’s a money launderer. Check his RICO records.
Trump views life like a collection of his favorite villain movies and fanfiction with him as the ultimate Mary Sue (someone who’s perfect and always the victim). He’s that removed from reality. Add the personality disorders, some dementia and adderall/drugs addiction.
Facts!!!!
Indeed He’s Not……In fact All Mob Bosses Start At The Bottom And Work Their Way Up.You Have To Get Your Hands Dirty To Stay In The Kitchen…..Besides Chump Could Never Win A Fist 👊 Fight In The Whole State Of New York……
Rudy the type of lawyer that gets you to plead guilty to terrorism charges after receiving a speeding ticket.
Lairdriver 😂😂😂😂exactly.
That cracked me up!!!
Lairdriver you made me lol 😆
Stormy said one of Trump’s guys threatened her at her car, saying, “What a beautiful little girl, it’d be a shame if something happened to her mommy.”, back when they were trying to keep her quiet. Pre-$130K hush payment. This is how Trump has always done business, he’s a mob boss wannabe.
Epsteins’ death still a mystery
America getting an early Christmas gift. The removal of Donald from office ! Happy Holidays !
What a great way to end 2019 and start 2020.
Lots to be thankful for if sentencing is before Thanksgiving Day!
Trump will not be convicted in the senate
Paul Wilson but he will still be impeached. And that is a heavy burden to carry through to re-election. The public testimonials will also force those with their head in the sand to realise the level of corruption here
Comparing trump to a mob boss is the ultimate insult to mob bosses around the world.
Good
Bwahahaha!!! Died!!! 👍😜😂⚰️
Agree he a low life con man
The New Yorker .bravo .they were fed up with trump long before long before he was the stupidest president on the face of the earth
Don’t get downhearted, White House insiders, remember: whistle while you work.
