Investigation Of Trump Org Follows Familiar White Collar Contours | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

68 comments

  1. Trump said he can shoot someone on 5th ave. and he wouldn’t lose any supporters.
    Translation: I can commit crimes and get away with it because my supporters are mindless sheep!

    1. @WT F trump throw everyone else under the bus so his last speech will be something like this “i told you they were the dumbest group of voters”

  2. We the people must stand up for justice to defeat the incredible sycophancy that surrounds criminal Trump.

    1. YOU MEANT CROOKED HILLARY BIDEN OR OBAA/. EACH HAS OVER 3BILLION OFSHOR. YOU ANGRY BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT BUY HIM.

    1. @OSKA on Dec 10th, 2019 Trump was ordered to pay $2 million to eight charities as part of a settlement in which trump admitted he misused funds raised by the Donald J. Trump Foundation to promote his presidential bid and pay off business debts, (and buy a portrait of himself)!! Another part of the settlement was that neither Trump or his kids will no longer be able to run any sort of foundation.

    2. He’s broke without crooked money. He needs to have everything he owns taken away. He does really outright own much. Everything else is just branding. I don’t recall the Nixon hotels being in demand ever.

    1. @fsf dsfa – *You’re still an illiterate nitwit, copy and paste is your new skill but learn HOW to write first!*

  3. Republicans are destroying our country’s future to give massive profits to huge corporations for temporary gain. Our kids can’t even get an education without worrying about mass shootings, a deadly pandemic, and soon climate change. They are really being left behind and are lost.

    1. Exactly as Obama did, Bush did and especially Clinton did. Consider yourselves broken. Only nutcases expect other results while doing the same thing all over again.

  4. Investigate how much he owes to his construction contractors when he was building all those Trump towers!

    1. I read many moons ago (15+ years) that he was buying concrete from the Russian mob for more than it was worth

    2. Kit Zoey …Trump bought his concrete from Fat Tony Serano…I think Tony ended up in The East River with a pair of very heavy shoes ….

    3. @Vivian Perino He died of a stroke 28 years ago. Anyway. we’ll find out in time quite possibly what went down

  5. t’rump supporters say, “He’s here to shake things up, he plays by his own rules, and he’s going to fight for all of us!”
    But t’rump hears, “Suckers!”

    1. I wouldn’t say “shake things up” but he has sure shook down the American public by “playing by his rules”.

  6. 20,000 lies and counting. God save the United States from the raving lunatic in the House of Shame, the Commander-in-Grift, Donald J Crow.

  7. Who would have thought Cohen would be the man to bring down the president………thank you Mr Cohen you have served your country well.

    1. HOW ABOUT CORRUPTION OBAMA. BIDEN AND HILLARY. OBAMA LISTENED TRUMP CAMP. I WNDDER WHYU. BIDEN WAS DROW BCAUSE WAS CARRYING TOO MUCH GOLD. HILARY AND OBAMA EAC GOT OVER2 BILLIO FROM RUSSIANS.

    2. @BULENT KOSE
      How about you learn some english before you try to comment on American politics?
      I wouldn’t go on RuTube and comment about russian politics in russian language…

    3. @BULENT KOSE OK I guess I’m stupid. I didn’t understand a thing that you were trying to say. Could you try that again. English this time please. As I said I’m not smart enough to know more than one language. Thank you for your time.

  8. Of course trump committed bank fraud and many other kinds of fraud… he’s literally been caught multiple times in life starting from the 70s committing fraud…

    1. Charles T. : He just took over from his Fathers Fraud. I’ll bet his Father is rolling over in his grave at the STUPIDITY of his Golden son.

    2. Bank Fraud + Money laundering + Campaign Finance violations.
      Indictments for the last of the three are all teed up and sealed. Roll on Jan 2021!

    1. Rob Lindner That’s why he’s pulling at all stops to stay in office!! He’s creating an all out chaos out of desperation !

    2. Blue Terrace Well they’re lining up, for something!?! But these people behave like cultists! It’s the BE END or END ALL attitude that leaves me speechless 😶

    3. Maletina Clarke he filled up key justice department positions with his people who are as criminal as him. He is well protected from any consequences. If his appointees don’t deliver results favorable to trump, he can release dirt on them. So I don’t buy this ‘he’s finished’ argument.
      In any other country, the head would have been kicked out for even 2% of trumps crimes. Trump was right that hires the best people. He doesn’t not mean competency but mafia kind of loyalty.
      America falling is sad for the west but great for the rest. Trump has exposed the failure of institutions, education and deep rot created by the monopoly super rich in the USA. The widespread poverty and inequality cannot be solved in a few years. The next presidents have to address economic inequality issues and steer away from a civil war before even thinking of nationalist rhetoric of American greatness. The American people per say have zero influence on the political system is what the world has painfully watched the last 4 years.

    4. Rob Lindner I don’t disagree with your comments, and you are right about a lot of injustices in America. However I am optimistic as to where his tax fraud will lead him. They’ve certainly pounced on him a lot earlier than I anticipated!! Even tho Americans have witnessed his blatant obstruction of the law whilst being President, tax fraud seems to be a whole other consideration!! I wait in anticipation…

  9. I want to know how much money was worth the thousand of lives this monster stole from us… we deserve and demand answers

    1. “They” participate in the corruption — so why would they? It’s not as if corruption is limited, or partisan, for that matter

    1. Don’t insult feces by comparing it to drumpf… feces at least serves many many useful purposes, the orangutan does NOT!

  10. trump is a fraud in everything he has done in his life. Top it all off with a fraudulent presidency. Why not?

    1. WE COULD BIG IT GESTAPO BUILT BY GREATEST SOCIALIST LL TIME ADDOLPH HITLER. MEDIA NEVER TALKS ABOUT THIS SOCILST BECAUSE OF THEIR OWN KIND.

  11. “My taxes are under audit.” No, Donald, they are not, but, SDNY will be doing that for you very soon.

    1. Well…he may be rich now that he has his hands all over and being in power…oh boy I can just imagine , it’s like leaving a thief in charge of a bank.
