How President Donald Trump Has Made Both Ukraine And The U.S. More Corrupt | All In | MSNBC
Just put yourself in Lev Parnas’ shoes for a moment.. Just imagine that you were a loyal Trump servant. You became a loyal MAGA hat wearing, book burning, Trump cultist. You partnered with Rudy, and went to Ukraine to help carry out Trump’s bribery scheme. And you even put yourself in legal jeopardy for Trump by funneling tons of Russian money into his Super-pac, and then you get caught, arrested, and indicted. Then you turn on the TV to see your cult leader, the man you loved and admired, the man that you risked everything for, announce to the world, that he’s never met you, and has no idea who you are. 😲😂😆 How would you feel?
I would feel like every other person when Trump says “never knew him, could be a nice guy” type thing and fear indictment, smearing and jail time is in my future.
@Bud Fudlacker yep, just keep repeating the mantra and dont actually think, not for a second. your conservative identity might crumble and what would you be then?
@Bud Fudlacker Russian troll.
I HEAR YA!
Like a BIG 🍭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lev does not want to be epsteined by barr
Neither does Colludy Rudy.
Lev better hide from Barr.
Helen G Pitts nothing comes up for revenue39.com.
While we’ve been looking for a quo to the quid, we didn’t realize that our quid was a quo to another quid. Moreover, we now know that we have the quo that we were looking for as well. Quid pro quo pro quo. Who knew?
More concisely : quids pro quos…… and lots of them….. all interconnected….. and all leading back to the old orange pro.
Craig Baker I’m thinking there’s a lot more Quids that the pros haven’t even identified as quo’s yet 👀 Everyday new quids come wiggling right on out.
We have loads of quids for the quos if that’s any help? We are Brits 🙂
😳 wow
I’ve lied 15000 times since I’ve become the President.
@Alvinius Alviniathan How. Trump has been a good president. We have a amazing economy. Isis is being torn apart. What is he doing wrong
Only 15000? We need to hear more than that! Trump is helping black Americans so he can lie all he wants to! Blacks for Trump!
Your a liar? It’s deeply hurtful. So I won’t vote for you. Please let fox channel is not news, it’s up and Chuck.
sooo
And ur just getting started 🤣🤣🤣
Well seeing as #3 is the biggest traitor in U.S. history, and the republicans are all on board…….DUH!…
INCARNATE, I could NOT conclude Trump committed a crime! – Robert Mueller! What treason? Hurting your little feelings is not treason! KAG! 2020!
@Bud Fudlacker LOL…Sure champ..sure. I guess the 10 counts of Obstruction of Justice he sent to Congress must have slipped your mind cult member…You do realize those, (and many more) felonies are waiting for traitor boy the moment he’s booted out of the WH come Jan. of 2021…Don’t yah champ?…LOL!!!
@INCARNATE Yup – No exoneration said Mueller (he was severely restrained by Bill Bar, the traitorous A G, from saying anything more) and there are numerous Federal investigations into the Drumpf’s financial crimes pending once he is ousted – and he will be ousted as he just cannot help himself from his deluded self opinions and fantasies. And it may even be the end of the Republican party as we know it should its collusion be revealed in full.
Trump’s corruption and criminality is like a highly infectious and deadly pathogen. He will contaminate and destroy anyone and anything he comes into contact with. His corrosive and insidious nature is a full blown epidemic, with no known inoculation.
Cohen, Manafort, Papadopoulos, Gates, Flynn, Stone, Igor Fruman, Lev Parnas….
When will people finally learn?
@Sill Idill Would you want an teenage Donald living at home?????
@Les Barbour perhaps not. But maybe he was a nice person in the beginning but his parents were mean to him? Distant?
David J David, I am astounded by the inability of some Americans to grasp the level and nature of Trump’s corruption. It almost seems blind adherence that will not use any critical thinking skills whatsoever.

Good thing some of us were vaccinated. I know I was – you are so right when you call him an infectious disease. Mostly the disease is hate, bigotry, racism, lack of insight, narcissism, insecurity, lack of intelligence, ADD, addiction (Adderall), lack of empathy, and the added ability of being a stone cold loser who lacks even one redeeming quality.
Never there trumpers
THE PUSSYGRABBER IS A CORNERED RAT 😀
President Grabber Von Hush Money McBone Spurs.
I think Ukraine should have been invited to join NATO. Then Putin would be faced with a mutual defense treaty which would push Russia back.
@8alot4t After how much damage is done? To us, our allies, the planet? This is one sorry situation, caused by a batsh*t crazy buffoon.
@Kathleen Mitchell Indeed – it will not be a pleasant experience. I have no doubt about that. All I can say is that we keep hope alive and do all that we can to resist and ameliorate the situation. The resolution will be in 2030 – then life returns to a ‘normal’ cycle of events once more.
@8alot4t No, 2020, not 2030. Good Lord, we cannot wait ten more years!
This is why Russia invaded Ukraine territory, as one of the requirements of nato is to have secure borders or undisputed borders. By Russia invading it changed that and prevented Ukraine being invited to nato. Hence also a watch needs to be on other countries who may wish to join nato. Or take turkey, ones who are currently part but have become distanced by trump.
@Jnc1 Turkey wants what Putin wants. Erdogan is a smarmy bas***d.
Because he is “Donald Trump” aka “Human Hedorah”.
*All* that he touches or even pass by, either dies or ends up worse than it started before he touched it.
Let’s awaken Godzilla (Team Blue) and get rid off this swamp pile of orange, toxic, sludge…
Trump is the greatest president yet
Marc Emson I agree, if your images are metaphors to some extent. Trump does seem to torch everything he touches, as in everything dies, maybe better than dealing with him. I really hope everyone comes out and votes to rid us of this nightmare in November.
Are you covering Virginia? Have a bad feeling……..
They should ditch those coffee mugs and bring in beer mugs. It’s a night show after all.
But what about mug under the mug?!? 🥺
Here is what people need to understand. Parnas is now in serious DOUBLE physical jeopardy of Putin [Serial Killer] and Trump [has Barr bumping people off: Epstein].
So now Trump had Epstein killed? Good god, I thought republican conspiracy theorists were nuts. You actually take the cake.
Carrow I totally agree. This Trump/Putin Espionage is widespread and I fear Putin-Trump are both MOB. nothing is off the table when it comes to silencing people.
@JG why it far fetched at all that Trump or someone in his circle made it happen? nothing about that seems out of the ordinary considering that Trump was friendly with Epstein.It’s no more or less of a ridiculous notion than the theory that it was organized by the clintons or whatever other party was cited as being friends with Epstein.
Carrow – Is it true that William Barr went to the detention center in NY to see Epstein shortly before he died. I heard or read that but is it true?
When Trump says his actions in Ukraine were all about corruption, he is correct. His actions are generally corrupt, and were (are) especially so in regard to Ukraine.
What’s so alarming about some US officials raising question concerning VP Biden on a video bragging about him, what sounded like, pushing the Ukraine government and admitting holding money back until they did as he told…?) If you where filmed breaking a shop window, with your name and address on the back and grab something, there would always be a certain risk someone sometime come over the video on youtube and wanted to raise concern what that was all about. Maybe it was all explainable in the end, you stumbled and felt into the window and so on, but it must at least be allowed to raise some concern, to check things out.
@Rimrock300 This has been checked out numerous times. Biden went to the Ukraine on behalf of the US, the IMF, the EU, and the world bank, all of whom wanted to give aid to the Ukraine, but refused to do so until the Ukraine government fired their corrupt prosecutor. This is readily available public information.
p.s. Trump had zero interest in any Ukrainian corruption that did not directly affect his campaign.
Wowwww, a US president is corrupt?!? You learn something new every day!
I suspect that this debacle was also in some way connected to Putin’s desire to humiliate the Ukrainian government and Trump’s eagerness to impress and oblige his boss, Vladimir.
Once Trump is removed and all his accomplices indicted/locked up, can they reinstate Yovanovitch? Trump calls the impeachment a hoax and sham but the firing of that woman was the sham..and along with all the quid pro quo stuff which was withholding military aid for fabricated Biden dirt. Trump should be locked up for that but we’ll settle for removal.
You would probably have to check with Ambassador Yovanvitch first but it would be a good way to show her the support of the people here. So many thought they treated her abysmally, especially that excuse for a human being in the WH. Tweeting during the hearings directly at her. That was a juvenile stunt.
The Republic has FALLEN. What CHOICE do they have? A, “Trial,” in which the, “Jury,” has the Defendant’s CONSPIRATORS sitting on it; with NO witnesses allowed, and NO evidence allowed, shoved through the Senate in less than an HOUR, giving a, “Not Guilty,” so called, “Verdict”??? OR? Allow the witnesses and evidence, PROVE Trump’s GUILT (which has ALREADY been established) and find him, “Not Guilty,” REGARDLESS? Either way, it’s the same as ADMITTING that the Republic has FALLEN. So, I guess it’s Option 3, then? Putin will have Iran, Syria, or maybe North Korea, throw out some BIG distractions, so none of us are looking when they ROB America of its FINAL HOPE of restoring its Republic. All those wars, against Britain, a Civil War, and World Wars, and FOR WHAT? . . . So we end up with an Orange KING? A Putin Style Dictatorship, where the people don’t rise up, because they’re allowed to go through the motions of, “voting,” in RIGGED, “Elections,” and PLAY at, “Democracy,” in their FAKE REPUBLIC? . . . FFS, America . . . SMH
Great respect from here to one tough cookie: Lady-Boss Madam Ambassador Yovanovitch making those power noodles munching up themselves by just ignoring them… I like your style.
Nicely put! 😋
Trumps is a bully
Trump was born with a serious defect.His brains were left back in his mother’s womb at the time he was born.Should have been still-born.
The world allies have watched the US President look like a man out of control, like a joke to the rest of his allies. Still we laugh and again we are very worried to what Trump does! 🤔🥴☹
That would be because he is out of control.
Trump is bringing the REPUBLICAN PARTY DOWN WITH HIM 😂👍
Good.
They didn’t have far to go 🙁
There is a Spanish saying that says.
Tell me who you hang around with.
And I will tell you who you are.
Trump hangs around with con men and criminals.
