Vindman: ‘No doubt’ that Trump was demanding Ukraine to investigate Bidens – Day That Was | MSNBC

House Democrats released two more transcripts from their impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump, this time from Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman and former Trump adviser Fiona Hill. The testimonies painted a damning image of the president, with Vindman stating there was “no doubt” what President Trump was demanding in his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy — an investigation into the Bidens and the 2016 U.S. elections

    1. It’s not like it’s ‘In the Hall of the Mountain King’ or anything, so complaints about it being manipulative drama are overly dramatic, themselves. If anything, the subtle background music and video title tell you that this is a packaged compilation piece with a common thread, and not a full news segment.

  1. I can’t wait till he gets voted out next year and NY State arrests trump on the indictments they have waiting for him.

    1. John Bolten writes everything down in those yellow legal pads.

      Just make sure you subpoena those tablets with Bolten.

    1. Orlor Look dude. I don’t really want to succumb to your arrant pedantry and debate the semantics of trial and investigation. All I know is that I’m waiting for the results of the investigation. Bottom line is, it doesn’t matter what you or I or anyone else says or thinks, because we bear no relevance to the investigation. Stop being so petty and playing high road. It does nothing for you. I forgot I even commented on this. Lol

    2. swamp rats being drained right now:
      donald drumpf
      pedo mike pence
      stupid giuliani
      moscow mitch mcconnell
      lindsey graham
      bill dis-barr

      what other republicunts did i miss?

    1. But if your in a hole and in desperate need of water and you know there is a water table not all that far under the bottom of this dry river bed …Well, you are allowed to dig some more then if you want.
      Also, if you a digging a hole because your job is chief hole digger for graves and coffins at the cemetery. Well, I guess that you would be alloyed to dig 6 feet deep by the Mayor or the School Principal so you can put the coffin in the hole. So sometimes you are allowed to dig if you are in a hole because you might be thirsty. Or want to bury a stiff.
      Sometimes. But if you are in a hole of Acid probably don’t go deeper than your neck or you can’t get out with no arms or legs also if you are in a thousand feet hole maybe you went to far for the water? Sometimes 1000 feet is too far for the water.

    2. He stopped digging decades ago when he went bankrupt multiple times. Now he prefers using dynamite to blast through bedrock to reach lower lows. The problem is, he repeatedly stands in the blast pattern. Kinda like the Coyote in the old Roadrunner cartoons.

    3. “stop digging”

      At this rate the earth’s *CORE* is gonna sue trump for sexual harassment if he don’t stop….

  2. Wow, there sure are a lot of whinyass trump-humpers here today, all having trouble dealing with the implosion of their cult leader. It would be sad if it weren’t so delightful.

    1. CynAnne1 Something is going to happen to the Democrat party. It will go down in history as their biggest fail. Allowing a Manhattan realestate developer to expose and destroy the Democrat party.

    1. Greg K
      If that’s the case then post a comment t that Biden should be investigated
      He’s on video saying aid will be withheld unless the investigation against his son was dropped and the prosecutor fired
      Well, we’re waiting

    1. @Logical Conservative the Mueller report showed multiple points of contact between Russia and the Trumps. It’s been proven that Putin aided Trumps election campaign through his troll farms and conspiracy sites. Also Epstein vile as he was, has nothing to do with colonel Vindman or this impeachment process.

    2. @Leonie Romanes No. It didn’t. Troll farms? I guess you don’t remember that Democrat group who were controlling an army of fake Russian accounts to discredit Republican candidates? No. We’ve now found out that Russia helped Democrats, not Trump.
      Three questions:
      1. Who hired Fusion GPS, along with foreign spies and other foreigners? Hillary Clinton and the Democrats
      2. Who were Christopher Steele/Glenn Simpson’s two main sources? Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov. One of which is a Russian disinformation expert, formally trained by the Kremlin.
      3. Who did Natalia Veselnitskaya work for? Hillary Clinton, Glenn Simpson, and the Democrats.

    3. Trumpy sheeple don’t care about veterans any more than they do about the veterans living along the southern border whose land the Homeland Security was ordered by Chumpy seized through eminent domain in order to build his anti-migration wall.

    4. @Logical Conservative such an illogical comment. Shame. The troll farm is closed in case you haven’t heard.

  3. Bolton is gonna bury that mouse Mulvaney! LOL…These fools are quickly turning on each other. Please pass the popcorn, the Putin GOP is in trouble!

  4. George Kent said that two US senators were part of the scheme and pressed Zelensky to comply with Trump’s request. *WHICH TWO* ???

    1. @Logical Conservative If you want to know what is Trump’s position on corruption in foreign countries, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YexnrlGhNEY
      Hint: he promptly received *another* President to Washington, who apparently had “done us a favor, though”. Quite one.
      And that, needless to say, is just *one* of a dozen other countries whose corruption he has expressed an obious interest in.

    2. @Logical Conservative PS. In fact, the reason why Trump chose to extort Zelinsky, and blame Ukraine for the DNC hacking, must be that Zelinsky is one of the few national leaders out there who *DOESN’T* have tons of damning dirt on Trump.
      Russia surely has such dirt (and it must be much worse that the pee tape). Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Azerbaijan may have it. And it should be obvious — even to you — that Erdogan has it. Could it have to do with Reza Zarrab? WIth Trump Towers Istambul?

    3. @Jorge Stolfi I’ve read the transcript, loser. It proves Trump is innocent, as well as literally all the other evidence we’ve seen. The fact that you’ve completely dodged all the facts I’ve presented tells me everything I need to know about your credibility. You’re dishonest.

  5. i have a trump supporting friend and to him it is totally ok that trump would do this to get dirt on biden or clinton, asked if obama (i didn’t vote for obama) did this if it was ok….fumbled a little and then said obama would be breaking the rule…then i said oh so it’s ok for trump but not obama?….he says well yes because they are all corrupt (obama, biden, and clinton)…i got mad and walked away…no use arguing with these scummy people…(and i use to hate democrats…now i hate republicans to the bone)

    1. Except Trump didn’t do this to “get dirt on Biden.”
      The US investigation into Ukraine begain in November 2018.
      The Ukrainian General Prosecutor’s office agreed to re-open the case into Burisma on March 28, 2019.
      Biden didn’t announce he was running for office until April 25, 2019.
      So I guess you’re going to have to find a new lie to tell.

  6. Wait for Donald Ivanovitch to scream “Fake Lt Colonel! Fake Ukrainian Expert! Fake American! Fake Witness!”

    1. Bjarke Stemann OK this conversation is over LOL you guys can be completely clueless, talking to you guys is like talking to a brick wall. Here’s 1, the economy, my 401(k) nearly doubled within a year of his presidency, do you happen to have one of those or even know what it is? Wait here’s another for the way out, unemployment is lowest it’s ever been. But you guys keep on hating, it only brings more people to his side. Whine & complain. You guys do realize that talking and doing deals with other countries happens all the time and the only reason it’s a big deal is because it’s Trump. That’s what a president is supposed to do, to look out for the best interest of their country and its people. The transcript speaks for itself but you guys just seem to believe everything the Democrat side says. Just like the fake Russian collusion story that the Democrats paid to start. 30 million later & nothing, What kind of tax bracket are you in is your taxes going to pay for these false investigations?
      I pay pretty high taxes in the tax bracket I am in and it’s BS that my hard earned money is being used to investigate someone that most of America voted for, oh & who gives a crap about the popular vote. If it was up to the popular vote people would win with just California New York alone, states that pretty much only vote blue regardless of the candidate. Get a grip on life and move on already, what are you guys going to do when he wins again next year? Quit being crybabies and get out and vote

    2. T. Fox you dont Seem to get the question: What has he done? You Can not do the economy. So what is it, he has done, that has made the economy good?

    3. Bjarke Stemann And this my friends is exactly why were in the situations were in, people just like you lol. Have fun grazing in the pastures buddy, they’ve got you by the hook

  7. More witnesses will come forward, Putin’s trolls can’t stop the flood! It’s over, komrades, your poodle will be thrown out of office, Russia LOSES again!

    1. Callista Graves
      What makes you think it’ll pass the senate. The whole impeachment process doesn’t even have bipartisan support in the house

    2. @Logan McLean after today’s testimonies, republicunts are finally seeing the light and turning against drumpf. really damning stuff!

    1. @TRUMP FOR PRISON 2020 – 🎶”Listen to their teeny-tiny little troll-bells, how they ring-a-ling-ding…”🎶
      🔔🎵🤣🎵🔔

  8. There should be no more doubt by anyone that Trump, once again, …through intermediaries and DIRECTLY…and was caught doing so, this time, in the midst of such negotiations, with HIMSELF as a PRINCIPAL…tried to establish a quid pro quo that, once again, sought to undermine an alliance, benefit himself, and benefit Russia, a longtime and historic hostile foreign power who, only recently, directly attacked us via our presidential election system in an effort to effect regime change.

  9. The day that was; November 9th. 2019.
    437 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes left of Trump’s Presidency.

    That is, if the Democrats don’t drop the ball again in 359 days, 4 hours, and 31 minutes, on November 3rd. 2020, like they did to SPECTACULAR effect in 2016.

    That’s the day today was, right now, at this very moment, in fact.

    And, how long we still have to learn all the lessons that got us Donald Trump as President in the first place.

    Judging by the recent coverage, our, “assurances,” by the same talking heads on the mainstream media that we should nominate a, “Moderate,” “centrist,” candidate, as opposed to someone more popular, someone the VOTERS believe we should, we are very clearly heading down the SAME track we did before.

    Only I’m not sure we can actually withstand ANOTHER four years of Donald Trump.

    So, don’t listen to the editorials on the various News channels. Trust in who YOU believe would be the best choice.

    Because if Americans just wanted a return to the Obama years, Trump would have truly never stood a chance in the first place.

    But, we’ve TRIED IT the way the establishment told us to in 2016, and the outcome couldn’t BE MORE devastating!

    All the DNC and the mainstream media proved is that they’d much rather allow a xenophobic misogynistic hateful bigoted autocratic wannabe BULLY like Donald Trump to win than nominate an actual progressive candidate.

    They proved it by putting their finger on the scale for Hillary Clinton, and against Bernie Sanders, and LOOK at the result!

    So, it’s time these people’s credibility crumbles, and they get out of the way while the actual VOTERS decide who the nominee should be.

    And, that requires US to stay vigilant, and inoculated from their BS.

    It requires us to stop whining and complaining, and getting up off the couch on November 3rd.

  10. When I was born Jimmy Carter was President of the United States, since that time Ronald Reagan, George W Bush Senior, President Bill Clinton, George W Bush Jr, and Barack Obama have all come and gone.

    From childhood to a first-time voter later to become an experienced voter, I have been proud at times under each one of them. Some more than others.

    I also had times of extreme anger under each one of them. Some more than others…
    They made decisions as individual presidents that would affect the economy, the state of the world, peace and American lives… or death.

    What I do not remember.
    Is “any” one of them love em or leave em standing up there behind the podium so profusely whining!

    Making outright asinine and embarrassing comments about the Deep state, witch hunts or being the victim of some Grand conspiracy… I do not remember senseless and groundless accusations.
    these American presidents of note, some debatably better than others and on both sides… Faced every sling and arrow that a president can face.

    I cannot recall one of these men that were all adversaries at one time or another despite the many mistakes between them… lobbying so very desperately… for an endorsement of self-proclaimed succession In the way that I see it now. The absolute weak and current state of our White House, as it now stands.
    As you have stated many times mr. Trump.

    You were elected! Now accept it! Welcome to the Terrordome this is the job.

    1. Thank you John,
      It’s nice to know that people still understand the broader picture here.
