Senate Impeachment Trial Described As 'a Chess Game' | MTP Daily | MSNBC

  1. No it is not a chess game turmp is baiting democrats in turmp is luring them in like ignorant donkeys watch whot happens next turmp luring them turmp is brilliant

  2. It’s not a chess game, it’s nothing more than a farce. The republicans are just as much traitors as #3 and will NEVER vote to convict. The good news is there will be a long line of different law enforcement agencies waiting to take traitor boy into custody the moment he’s booted out of the WH come Jan. of 2021. He’s acquired quite a stack of felonies waiting for him the moment he can no longer use the WH as a shield against prosecution….

  3. How much is this circus grotesque you have going on thanks to a very stable genius, costing the American people?

  4. Dunkin’ Doughnald’s people will try and make all of this as ‘incomprehensible’ as possible and bog the viewer down with useless discussion and mind-numbing legalese. Nevermind the phone call, the 3-month conspiracy running up to it and the absolute wall of obstruction that followed is enough to impeach 3 presidents.

  5. No witnesses = SHAM TRIAL FOR SHAM PRESIDENT. NO irrelevant witness to distract biden has nothing to do with sham-ander-in-chief extorting Ukraine.

    Kind if like you blaming your brother for setting house on fire when you lit the match. Trump did what he did..because of his own corruptness and disrespect for the country and the office

  6. The most important question that should be put to Republicans in the Senate is a simple one, Do they believe that the American people want, and deserve to know the truth? And if the answer to that question is YES, then the next question should be, how do we get there?  Well the only way we get to the truth, is through witnesses and evidence.

    A president should NOT be able to use executive privilege in an impeachment trial to cover-up his crimes. It doesn’t get more unconstitutional than that. If this is allowed, it means that instead of a president, we have a King and or dictator. It would mean that Trump could literally get away with anything he wants to do by simply claiming executive privilege, and  blocking all evidence and witnesses to his crimes.
