More of President Trump’s closest aides and allies are being sucked into the impeachment inquiry, which is expanding quickly on Capitol Hill. Stephanie Ruhle is joined by Washington Post White House Bureau Chief Philip Rucker, Washington Post Columnist Brian Klaas, former U.S. Justice Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller, former Ambassador William Courtney, and former U.S. Attorney Berit Berger, to discuss what we have learned in the last 24 hours and what that means for the impeachment process. Aired on 10/01/19.

The Trump World is collapsing and he’s taking everybody with him!!! LOL

@Horrifying Apocalypse Yeah this will backfire on the Dems. Good thing hearsay isn’t grounds for impeachment, just another election tactic that will backfire for the Dems.
@T R And turn on what? The 90% of Liberal MSM?
They read it. Thats them downplaying it.
And the cult followers don’t
I’m sure trump is probably on the phone with Putin trying to figure out what their next move is. 👀

@Stasia Spade what part would you be referring to?
I reckon Crump is on the blower to the Fat Boy for advice.
Nothing about any of this seems “normal.”
The Leftists are admitting they have NO ONE that has a chance of beating Trump in 2020. That’s why, they’re throwing more epic tantrums with this impeachment nonsense.
Go Trump!
#tRump4prison2020 💸👋😏
Not normal, it’s corrupt. Impeach and out. I’m out of curse words.
And you’d be right
Trump should be taught a lesson so that no other American would dare to behave like him.
Severe punishment is advised.
Yes. The ONLY POTUS to be removed before he can finish ONE TERM.
hjfj90 Well That’s rich while this man that calls himself president is threatening people calling them spies,and you know what we used to do with spies. He keeps it up and his threats will become an article of impeachment. But that’s ok,he can dig his own grave. I have enough popcorn.
@Mike L u are 100%….even the fake President loves to reminisce over past….
Where’s Marie Antoinette when you need her … 😉
Off with the Head
“To those who can hear me, I say – do not despair.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed – the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress.
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…”
-Charlie Chaplin
G Sterling You poor pitiful fool. Crawl off and die, because you and others like you are simply a nuisance to real Americans.
@VicDich You do realise that adulterers, rapists, wife-beaters, fraudsters and thieves fight in wars, fought against Nazism and Fascism in WW2. Chaplin knew Fascism and authoritarianism when he saw it and did something about it. When it matters most, that’s enough.
@Kieron Johnson Read through the entire comment section. That was already established by few others including myself. I am not allowed to mention history, mystery and intrigue of an Icon based on this comment thread. I am not allowed to have logic and reasoning. I only believe what MSNBC tells me now. I saw the light and errors of my ways. MSNBC is all that is needed. MSNBC has no record of what you are saying is true about Charlie Chaplin so it must be a lie. MSNBC said he was a one of 7 genius actors of our time. MSNBC knows all.

so how can a law have bite, with no teeth
Because its political, in other countries it would be the justice system
The State Dept. called Rudy: “Go to Ukraine..”.
-no executive priv.-
No executive privilege …
his travel expenses will show the way. If he was paid by the state dept. the privilege is ended
State department denies it.
@Sean Stark Executive Privilege is not unlimited in a Democracy …
The whole administration is involved in the crime and the cover up.
@Kevin Wilson Bogus site!
He drained the swamp and filled it with monsters!
@christoph paessler don’t forget about the voters… they are really the ones at blame for voting these crooks into office!
Get ready…The dems and Biden is so screwed! I need to get more pop corn…
God bringing this mess down with the help of Rudy keep talking man
@Andrew Purdy Still waiting for your invisible friend?
@Foghorn Leghorn “Mockers and scoffers shall come, saying, where is the promise of His coming”
RFIDs, Blood rivers, Mass animal deaths, Leprosy, Damascus in ruins, Iran and Russia together once and for all..
My “Thanos” as your Hollywood mocks will *very soon be very Visible* with gleaming -Ships- *Chariots of Fire*
Get ready to curse your worst at the Heavens! 🙂
SNAP!!!.. *when ye hear those “Sky Trumpets”*
[all children, all animals, all Elect of God in Faith of Hebrews 11:1 *100% Invisibly ‘Blind’ Faithful* … -Mass Abducted- *Raptured* ]
And all of a sudden all ye yapping your nonsense blather are all, all *gone! burning in flames, flames, beautiful FLAMES!*
😀
@Andrew Purdy Good luck with that.
Andrew Purdy Wait, you don’t like heathens names? I’m a heathen! And you just told me you loved my name!
loll
Andrew Purdy On a serious note, I would like to challenge your faith! I watch a call-in show named “Talk Heathen” from the ACA in Houston, it’s live on Youtube every Sunday pm. Theists call the show to convince the 2 atheist hosts their God is real, it’s fun, wholesome and super friendly. You should call the show next Sunday!
Jail all of these crooks.
Zack you are right, lock them up, lock them up, all of the presidents men.👍👍👍
And why is William Barr serving as the President’s personal attorney when we, the taxpayers, are funding his salary?
Because you don’t offer him secret perks and privileges and social connections and lots more money he doesn’t have to declare and …
@Edward MacLennan He is in the transcript summery.
He is NOT his personal attorney. Wow, there is a lot of stupid out there.
He was promised to get paid.
treading dangerously *close* to witness intimidation?
He said they should be killed.
12 people were around for that phone call at the WH. Someone’s gonna flip to save his hide.
Perhaps say OTHERS are gonna flip.
That’s a given.
Pence? Probably not. He has his eye on the prize, sees himself in line when it all blows up, he’s in deep. When will that calm dignified silent demeanour crack, brown trousers time? God will help him decide.
They don’t have to flip we already have the transcript, its pretty damming all on its own 👍
Maybe.History books 50 years on if we get that far – The Flipper Presidency? I commented before I’d seen the whole programme, the old guy at the end put it all in a nutshell.
I agree not everyone will be willing to go to jail for Donald Trump! And there is a second whistle blower complaint in the IRS, which involves yet another cabinet secretary Steve Mnuchin! This is without a doubt the most corrupt administration we have ever seen! And if we dont stop this now, it will get worse! We saw that when DJT decided to do this the day after Mueller testified! The more he gets away with, the more he will do! ENOUGH ALREADY!
I want to know who’s paying Giuliani. I want to know who paid for Barr to take these trips around the world so he could strong-arm various countries into participating in Barr’s “investigation” into the Mueller investigation. If ANY of this was done on the taxpayer dime, they need to pay us back.
I do NOT want these people to be able to get “deals” initially. If they “flip” on 45 AND say they will TESTIFY to any and all crimes then maybe. However, we do not have to give these people a “get out of jail free” card. For instance, can allow them to get a deal that will put them in a federal prison close to their family OR we can get them a “Club Fed” (minimum) federal prison instead of medium or maximum which is much more restrictive.
Leniency needs to be restricted and meted out stingily.
Leniency needs to be meted out AFTER testimony, with no promises except what will happen until they cooperate. Jail for contempt, and fines.
Linda Armstrong Me too.
we paid… pay it back
A Circle of Swamp-Creatures without parallel. Pursue and prosecute all of them. All. Of. Them.
If they refuse to appear after congressional subpoenas, doesn’t the Congress have the option of putting them in jail for contempt of Congress?
Yeah but not the guts. It is what I want to see.
Trump” I’m going to drain the swamp”
The Swamp is overflowing
David Jessee Does Trump even know what a ‘swamp’ is? He may view it as an opportunity to invest, like in real estate…
The swamp runneth over. May God cover and protect the ppl of this country.
Trump is the creature of the black lagoon
That’s how he gets rid of problems, by getting rid of the people who complain about the problems.
Americans, including these news hosts, need to realize you are entering into the reality of your democracy being usurped by a totalitarian President.
Sadly a lot of Americans are too clueless to understand how dangerous Trump is. They will happily vote for a modern day Hitler.
