Weissmann: GOP Playing 'Hear No Evil, See No Evil' Because They Don't Want To Find It | MSNBC

  1. Upsetting is a polite way of putting it. It’s dead wrong. This is a Democracy and not an Authoritarian regime. Most Americans believe in facts and the rule of law.

  2. The most important question here is, do the American people deserve to know the truth? Well Trump, Moscow Mitch, and republicans on Capitol Hill, have essentially said “NO!!!  The American don’t deserve to know anything.” And they are saying it all while laughing and holding up a middle finger to the American people.

    1. @The Alpengeist does your company provide health care for trolling? I heard they pay you $15 hour is it full time?

    2. @The Alpengeist no he didnt it was already investigated and proven not true smh and as far as trump he already told you he did it the tapes said he did it but luckily he has ignorant people like yourself that’s gonna listen to him and not the evidence that’s rite there and its people like you that has the rest of the world laughing at us not him

  3. Investigators: We require witnesses & evidence.
    Trump: I’m telling everyone to NOT cooperate with the investigation.
    Republicans: You heard the man.
    * months go by *
    Republicans: Those Democrats didn’t even do a proper investigation!

    1. surely you joke, mein failüre
      Democrats: “The evidence is overwhelming. We must impeach immediate because the President is a threat”.
      Democrats: “Now let’s go on vacation”
      33 days pass.
      Democrats: Uhhhh….we need more evidence.
      🤣 What a bunch of clowns!

    2. @Rod Allen What alternate reality are you living in? That’s Trump’s version of how things went, not the actual truth of it. Putin would be so proud.

  4. They’re not playing “hear no evil, see no evil”.
    They’re playing “We see and hear it but is it really that bad?”

    1. We see, we hear, we know but we don’t care about the law and our Constitution. We are willing to rig this trial in favor of our criminal Pres and we will get away with it.

    2. @Cassie O I’m guessing, yes.
      Other countries have massive protests for what we’d consider minor issues. Americans have become complacent and apethetic. Taking any form of responsibility for maintaining their democracy, rule of law, and basic rights seems like a foreign concept.
      Senior Vice President Trump*’s installation was well timed by the president. (Putin in case anyone missed it)

    3. Darrin Fry I have been told that complacency and apathy are no longer an issue, not since Trump. However, the GOP’s shamelessness indicates that they’re not at all concerned about paying a political price.

    1. Trumpsters don’t care about our constitution, just trumps lies.
      They know nothing about history and don’t care! They have never had to deal with living under a dictator, or what it means to have NO FREEDOMS.
      The ignorant and uninformed will take this great nation down. That is why the tRump administration loves the uneducated!

    1. They’re breaking the law, in the most contemptuous manner possible, and they deserve the worst fate imaginable. The trust of the decent portion of the American people is their only value, and they have ruthlessly defecated on it.

    1. razor8191 Where’s the evidence of “Russian collusion” that Schiff told us he had for 18 months??? Where are those “facts”? 🤣

    2. razor8191 as usual another individual running on emotion and not really understanding the constitution. Enjoy you ignorance. Make them cry again. Trump 2020.

    1. ultraaa combo This is how the Republicans acquittal of the president sets things right. Barr and the us attorney will work on making corruption great again by indictments over the FISA court lies. All of this after the Senate dismissal of the scam impeachment articles. This is what will happen in the run up to the 2020 election Make them cry again Trump 2020.

    2. @Arthur Kroulik Half of Trump voters in the Southern RED States married their brother, sister, cousin, uncle. GET OVER IT, isn’t that what Repugs say, GET OVER IT.

    3. @TJ Abston fun fact: there are Democrats that live in red States. Now air up the tires on your house, get out of her sister (lena Dunham), brush yer toof, and get a job so I don’t have to pay your welfare. Okay?

    4. @TJ Abston thanks for admitting that ilhan Omar married her brother. Democrats are the party of the klan and incest! Keep voting for rigged primaries!!!! 👍👌😂😅😆😆😂

  5. America has a President who can lie on fox, lie at rallies, lie in the oval office, lie in Davos, lie playing golf. Why can’t he lie in the senate?

    1. @Rod Allen That’s the perfect reply that Putin wanted you to do. It’s called “what-about-ism” and it is a propaganda technique, not a valid form of communication. Good job being a Putin chump. Trump would be proud.

    1. Ron Hunter you are right call your state senators lite them know what you think .Sad to say but there aren’t many of you republicans saying this. You are a true patriot country first no one is about the law .

    2. McConnell doesnt want you to hear the truth that’s why he scheduled this hearing 2am

  6. There’s no money in doing the right thing. The conflict is that money is the single most important thing to Republican supporters.

  7. When time comes to VOTE remember these spineless Republicans and vote them OFF from the PLANET ! GET THEM OUT
