Hey, Chris here — what other questions do you have about the impeachment trial?
HemiHead664 stoopit!?!? You and your adjectives lol Wtf… Do you mean STUPID?
Hey CNN can’t wait for your coverage of Trump’s win in 2020
Hey fake news fuckboy fredo
Why did you answer some questions more than once?
REMOVED THESE PSYCHOPHAT>KIDS
We did 3 years ago.
Oh Pelosi and gang! Yes they are loonies

Lmaoooooo
Russian PETUH 👋🏻
Hey CNN do you part well. This trial is going down the history books, expose the Senators, the trial must be fair. NO MORE COVER UP !!
Are the Democrat senators gunning for Trump job going to recuse themselves?? In fairness, shouldn’t they??
Oh give it a break. The dems know the case is weak. So, they didn’t call witnesses intentionally to scam the system by demanding that the Senate call them. Just a childish attempt to scream cover up.
Question: Will Pelosi get drunk again during the trial, or will she just stay befuddled as usual?
@Donoso Demaistre Pelosi’s handlers don’t get paid enough. 24/7 taking care of that train wreck.
Nancy doesn’t drink. And she doesn’t take drugs. Same can’t be said for the Orange Menace to our country. Sad.
@Ada Miller Why is her speech different sometimes? Mini strokes?
Russian bots working overtime haha!!
@Mymy Lastname If CNN said water wasn’t wet some people would tattoo it to there forehead.

Ah but has CNN covered The Lawsuit giving details about Epstein’s island? Including why there was a portrait of Bill Clinton in drag if his office?
@chief0129 Why? Maybe you’re under investigation as well
True. Hard to hang yourself with paper sheets.
Who conducted the autopsy? The oldest doctor in America. Same doctor as JFK. Michael Jackson. Marilyn Monroe. So many more tied to the intelligent community.
CNN loves Epstein island they went out of their way to help cover it all up. Not a shred of evidence of what actually became of their boy Epstein. Probably sipping a nice Mai tai somewhere.

Trump won’t be removed from office and will more than likely be re-elected in November.
@Red Wings Of course the Senate won’t convict champ. The republicans have shown they are just as much traitors as #3. But that won’t stop traitor boy from being taken into custody the moment he’s booted out of the WH come Jan. of 2021…And he has a whole stack of felonies waiting for him come that day and he knows it…lol
@Jeiku Anime Review Wow…you really are out of touch with reality……You do of course realize the 10 counts of Obstruction of Justice aren’t the only charges pending against traitor boy don’t yah champ? Did the Cohen case also slip your mind? Or did you think those charges also magically vanished since he couldn’t be charged while in the WH? 3 of the felonies that sent Cohen to prison traitor boy shares. Does: un-indicted co-conspirator #1 ring a bell?? if traitor boy didn’t have the WH to use as a shield against prosecution he would already be joining Cohen in the prison showers.. And of course the GAO just came out with their finding that traitor boy did indeed BRAKE THE LAW when he withheld funds from Ukraine..OOPS. And then of course there are traitor boy’s taxes/financials. You can bet the farm when they get those, (and they will), you can add: Tax Fraud, Bank fraud, and Money laundering to the felonies waiting for traitor boy…Hell, he will be LUCKY if he’s not indicted under RICO…LOL!!!
@Jeiku Anime Review You do of realize that no matter how many times you deflect to Obama, or Biden, or Clinton, or even Bugs Bunny…Traitor boys crimes aren’t going to magically disappear…Don’t you?? Let me guess, you watch a lot of Fox/Pravda and the actually the horseshit propaganda they’re shoveling is real…LOL….Classic…
INCARNATE , sorry for your Low IQ because of the fact you have to cry 5 more years for a trump in the White House.
@Frank Feng LOL ok. Keep wishful thinking. There isn’t even a crime listed in the articles of impeachment lol and Dems can’t hold a candle to Trump’s achievements. Trump 2020!!!
Leftists are sad that nothing happened the way they were hoping at the Virginia gun rally
Leroy Ray it’s easy to tell, when someone like you comes along, when you’re talking to someone who clearly does not live in the US…
Go find a job, boy..
Sad very sad. . .
The way the media talked about it shows our media is garbage.
@Powerage Scott we’re just claiming to have the legal guns we know you guys got guns too
The Senate just joined the chat 😂😂😂
How many more people are the Clintons going to kill before someone stops them?
the last time i saw the bodycount list it was 33 people. Has the bodycount grown?
@Michael Petrovich probably has…the Clintons are the epitome of evil
Started last year? More fake news!
Robert Morris uhhh…. yes, it happened in 2019… sooooo, last year.

When can we impeach the next democratic president? We’d love to get an early start and just fill the rest in later.
@Ed S u r a wad
@Billy Pardew Is this a game? Do you want the Constitution to become a yellowed paper of no import? Is this umpeachment about winning above all? Are your intentions oligarchy governer by dictatorship? If you believe that, you are no patriot! Are you watching the umpeachment proceedings? I hsve not missed a single munute. Hakeem Jeffries just gave the most lucud and plainly obvious reason for having Mick Mulvaney testify. Republicans must answer to the American People. Whatever happens history will reveal Trump’s malfeasance, his impeachment, McConnell’s blindness to truth and the result of tbe next election may well go badly for Republicans. I am ashamed before the world to see such politics p,ay out ws U am seeing. Hear no truth, see no truth, speak no truth. The motto of the entire Republican Party.
Fire-dumb & Stupidity Bot you are such a man
Where’s Hunter?
America is laughing at the dumbcrats and the left wing fake media!
have you red the evidence? If trump has nothing to hide why is he hiding?
Lol i love how every news network besides cnn is covering the Senate trial live 😂😂😂
