'High Crimes': See The Moment Trump Officially Gets Put On Trial | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Donald Trump is finished!!!!
Let’s hope!
never underestimate the corruption of the republican party
How’s trumps taxes doing for you all
Ask him when he’s indicted under RICO come Jan. of 2021…LOL..
@INCARNATE ok, let all the angy lesbians remember that
Talk about a FARCE … in Grand style ….at least …Oath to God … etc….to CORRUPTION
Hurry up and throw him in jail ughhh
No person is above the law!!..I love the USA …!!!
Whats the point of the oath if McConnell and the other republicans have already said that they will break their oath to be impartial jurors?
Let’s just hope that justice, wherever the dice may land, is done….
Congress… Senators, please side with truth and democracy above party, regardless of party impact.
Stand up and be counted
They absolutely will not. Still, if we don’t hold on to the *idea* of justice and continue to fight for it, all is lost.
AMEN
They will lie like a dog on a rug to god and it want bother them one bit to save Trump and hurt themselves
Isn’t it the Law if a Senator breaks their oath.. Can’t they be removed and arrested off the floor???
Let’s be very clear, the fact that Trump and republicans in the Senate are afraid of introducing witnesses and evidence in the trial is because they know that Trump is guilty of bribery and obstruction of justice. And the majority of Americans know it too. Not only is Trump on trial, but republicans in the Senate are also on trial. And the American people will be watching.
And if justice isn’t served by our paid representatives we may have to serve it up ourselves.
@Sanctum Sanctorum they don’t want that let be honest
We already know the truth. What we are now looking for are cowards and traitors.
Subversive misconduct is an imminent danger to Democracy and Dems are grabbing the bull by the horns…
Trump: “I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Putin….if you’re listening.”
No no no he asked all of Russia for the emails so ya know it could be a fat guy in a basement not Putin.
I see what you did there.
mmmmmmmm my god I have been forced to pleasure myself to this all day and I am getting blisters.
“On pain of imprisonment”
SAY IT AGAIN FOR ME SERGEANT, BUT SLOWER
GOP hypocrisy knows no boundaries……
so true
Parnas should just shave those renegade hairs off his head, that combover is just sad.
Woe be to those senators who despise God by breaking their solemn oaths before Him. He may suffer fools but I doubt if He will hypocrites
Those who violate this oath like Moscow Mitch will watch their families wear this for generations to come.
republicans only care about power….
Lets see whos RepubliKKKain / Trumph Traitors, and who is an Americian
Fit for office? Trump isn’t fit to operate an umbrella.
trumps are unfit for the town trash collector. no trump has ever given any service to any country in which they reside
