If Trump Had Something To Defend, He'd Participate In Impeachment | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

    1. It’s a symbol of the die spinne an organization that was responsible for the escape of MANY nazis war criminals after WW2 it has been said that they are a branch of Odessa! Imagine the confidence of this organization to be displaying it so openly and proudly!

    2. Mike B maybe someone who understands that spiders are an important part of the natural order. You probably stomp them. When the climate no longer supports human life, the meek will inherit the earth; Cockroaches and spiders. Meet your superiors.

    3. @Ars Longa poor little snowflake is that the best you can do is try and start an argument over a spider comment! What a pitifully life you must live!

    4. @Ars Longa Yep… Survival of the fittest only means the most Suitable. It doesn’t necessarily mean the Strongest or Smartest…

  1. Or he suspects it’s a forgone conclusion since the left has been literally screeching for his impeachment since the night he was elected and doesn’t want to bother giving the media bs soundbites they can play on repeat 24/7. Just saying.

    1. Why did the GOP fight so hard for the “secret” hearings to come out. Which Trump had been completely of them being held secrecy. Only to say they Should be out of the view of the public eye, once they were. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me.

    2. @Yoichi – I WAS THERE LISTENING TO THEM, kid.
      Who are you kidding?
      There were yells for impeachment from DAY ONE!

  2. Innocent! UNTIL PROVEN! ” Guilty” Why Participate in the Farce, You guys have talked about this before he was Elected!

    1. @Brian Mac and what is he guilty of. Nothing that’s what he’s guilty of. You idiots get any dumber we’d have to water you.

    2. @Luis Enrique Santiago well say,it bud you,re a hek of smart man those returds doesn,t want to admitted their lovely president is guilty guilty guilty

    3. @Luis Enrique Santiago. Don’t be surprise if Trump pulls out of NATO for them not paying their fair share. Most of those countries that are a part of NATO are actually dependent on us and if we ain’t in it, then it is a disaster for them. Willing to bet they won’t be laughing for much longer…

    4. Having trump testify in person, in his own words, the GOP’s worst nightmare. He’s incapable of telling the truth, and under oath, he’d perjur himself. Another impeachable offense.

  3. Why would he when Pelosi has already instructed congress to draft articles of impeachment? There’s no point

    1. @You don’t get to be offended by science! the executive branch has the constitution right to invoke executive privilege and always has. That’s what Trump did and now it’s iiib the court being deliberated. The question is why doesn’t the Democrats wait for the courts ruling? Then they have the possibility of hearing all the witnesses and if not they can do their impeachment anyway but at least the correct process was followed with no rush to judgment.
      Representative Jordan told us why, he said they are in the clock to impeach Trump before the end of the year for the election. That’s what this is all about anyway.

    2. @Paul Evereklian Says the guy supporting a government that tramples people’s rights for the sake of power. How does it feel to be on the wrong side of history? As if 2016 didn’t teach you inbreds anything, you’re right back here giggling as if anything has changed. Real Americans voted for Trump and they will again in 2020!

    3. It’s a lame dem head game, hoping their bluff will entice Trump to give them something.. anything. But he Called it and said: bring it!

    1. John Gray u stated all/most associated with trump. There has been 6. Flynn and papa with be shown innocent and set up as soon as mon or trial on wed. Cohen and stone both weasels nothing to do with trump and his actions. Other two again taxes and lying about their wrong doings. So again you want to see ties we will soon..Obama’s appointees will be in the dozens

    2. @John Gray it’s called another law suit. Papdapolis will be exonerated for being squeezed by the deep state. All in God’s time which is PERFECT

    1. @grapas100 He literally has done none of those things….quit watching fake news and their edited sound bites

    2. @G Lee Farmers are getting subsidized money to help them, All Americans got a tax cut and corps got theirs to bring back the Trillions they had off shored and afford to bring jobs back, Saudis who cares they murder all the time, Troops are being used to guard oil fields so ISIS cant use them for funding. You are the stupid one

    3. @katwil89 I’m not Mike B but I’ll answer your question! How about he nor his staff had spoken with the whistleblower! Or how about he has said for 3 years that he had evidence that would sink President Trump during the Mueller investigation! And then during the hearings he stated that he didn’t know the identity of the whistleblower once again while he was informing Mr Vindmon that he couldn’t answer a question because it would out the whistleblower! There is 3 points of Shiff lying!

    4. @grapas100 dude have you bumped you head how is it that Obama left President Trump a better economy obama done everything in his power to keep America in poverty and did his best to up lift the Muslim nations he even cut China a sweet deal and a stood on stage on national television and plainly stated that manufacturing jobs were gone and NEVER coming back! And you want to talk about President Trump demonizing Mexicans have you not seen whom it is that’s bringing these drugs that are killing Americas young and old alike? You’ve clearly got your head in a dark stinking orifice if you believe any of the propaganda networks history will be the judge of this President and it will show him in a favorable light unlike the light that will be shinning upon the democratic party that is so set on his impeachment!
      TRUMP 2020!!!

    5. @Tommy Sanders- Selective amnesia much? Your obvious hatred for Obama has blinded you to the FACTS. Look at the state of the economy when Obama took office, then look at it when he left office. If anyone was trying to “keep America in poverty” it was George Bush and the Republicans. By the way, how’s that national debt doing these days? Republicans are fiscal conservatives…until they take power, then they spend like drunken sailors.

  4. That just means he has nothing to hide if you did he will send lawyers to stop anything that will be presented against him

    1. First Republicans said it was unfair that the hearings would be private. Now that they’re public, Republicans are saying it’s unjust to hold public impeachment hearings. Trump even said that he would participate in the hearings, but when he was granted subpoenas, he suddenly can’t come. What a joke the Republican party is.

    2. ​@Noah Oh Yes, having a fair hearing with the other party is a joke… Having Trump at his hearing is also too much to ask? Any person with a brain wouldn’t attend to their own witch hunt. They want him to prove them right because they have nothing but opinions and feelings.

    3. @koagz if Trump was innocent, then he would come because there would be no stakes. Since he’s guilty of impeachable offenses (NO, he’s NOT officially guilty), he is afraid his turgid tongue will slip a few unconscious confessions here and there. No one _wants_ to attend their own “with hunt”, but it’s unheard of to _not_ ever show up. No one _wants_ to go to school, but it’s unheard of to _not_ ever show up. You get what I mean? Also, these are people of the highest order. You really think they would’ve gotten this far into the impeachment trials by ad-libbing based on their feelings? Think again.

  5. Or, and this is just a suggestion. He knows it isnt going to go through so he’s not going to bother wasting his time
