Rachel To Lawrence: District Attorney Investigating Trump ‘Blew Me Away’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Have we forgotten that this is EXACTLY what the GOP did in Bush v Gore. In Florida they disallowed over 15,000 votes to give Bush a 500 vote win. This win then tipped the election nationally. Think of Gore as Prez post 9-11, maybe no invasion of Iraq, no drain of resources from Afghanistan, maybe a positive outcome there in just a few yrs ….
How does it feel to pick the wrong lame donkey’s or elephant’s to run with accompanied with the bias, truth spinning and lying media outlets with lame staff. Proud working Americans know who you are and we are the winning team [email protected]
And now we see where the self-interest lies with those Senate Republicans who predictably acquitted Trump. Every Dem, Independent, and former Republican must remind the public every day of why this was a mockery – but one in endless succession. The GOP is now an ally of domestic terrorism. And Trump is now a private mobster. ALL of you – show no mercy in the PR, and keep voters enthusiastic for the next midterms. https://www.yahoo.com/news/only-just-begun-donald-trump-214942424.html
I feel all is not lost. The case has already been presented as a type of criminal trial. I would think a High Crime would be considered impeachable. Regardless if Mitch McConnell played some game, it does not change the guilt of Donald Trump. He even said so himself. The fact that he revealed his guilt will strengthen several different types of cases. Federal Prosecutors do not have to go by Senate Rules, Mitch said that as well. The Impeachment Managers certainly did a great deal of work for Federal Prosecutors and it will speed up their ability to hold various trials. I believe this will be a wide-ranging trial, into layers of government. It has to be, the United States just does not get attacked and forget about it. A former president purposefully tried to stop the process of the Electoral College (so he could call Martial Law? as recommended by one of his pardoned attorney’s(?) . Strange Senator Ted Cruz sent a tweet at @ January 6th when according to the NY Times record of the Timeline, the attack had not yet occurred. I think it might be a good idea to save these links considering, future ‘altering of digital material’ could cause doubt. Links: Ted Cruz: @t. New York Times, Timeline: @t
I am sorry but I am sure T… will never go to jail for any of his many crimes… He attacked the house of the law makers with all of them inside and got Acquited, shame!!!
Trump in prison is the only way America succeeds and democracy succeeds.
The lawyers and the FBI have to do the GOP’s job because they are too cowardly and corrupt to fulfil their duty.
Donald needs to be sent home. Hand of god.
The world is at an unrest until Justice Prevail, no Justice no peace for those imposters who call themselves Republcan’s. Trump lawyers were incompetent with there defense for Congress to allow him to be off the hook. Mich Mcconnell shame on you.
Rachel I love you I love your candid and political views I love how you research what I don’t understand I’m really angry about is why this trial was just held in the capital in Congress because reality is this affects all of us all of us it should have been a vote our trial with all of us being able to put our Prospectors out there there had to be a way to do that and I emso unhappy with the way the impeachment want Trump incited in 1 people to go and write it and commit violence maybe it’s non-intervention whatever buddy is vote violence against our Senators Republicans and Democrats kept feeding the lies about his wind or non one Eddie gets away with it these trials need to be put up where every American could choose where every American have the voice cuz this Senators don’t have other voices
Trump is going to need more time than just a year.
Congress BETTER pass a bill to ban Trump and the other seditionists (the two Cubans gusanos (Cruz,Rubio), the lady from South Carolina(Graham), Josh Hawley, Rick Scott (mama’s boy, took 75x 5th amendment in court), etc.) for life. Maybe get prison terms in DC? If these monsters are not punished, we will slowly decent in lawlessness, a full fledged banana republic.
the republicans are disgraceful and mitch should be ashamed of himself.
Losers impeach Harris & Biden
Well Mitch McDonnell’s latest speech is great testimony to use, let’s see him in cuffs and assets frozen.
onetermer needs to become prison termer!
Remember the goofy kid from Dell Computers? He should call Trump and say “Dude, you’re getting a cell!”.
Impeach Harris & Biden!!
Not worried about 2024. Last summer’s interview (Wallace/Trump) confirmed how unstable Trump is. Now he has 4 years to get into even more trouble with the law and the public. He’s not going to get nominated for ANYTHING! What I really hate is WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD NOW THINKS OF US after this acquital. OMG.
There are all those obstruction of justice cases in the Muller report that he can be charged for, too.
Ok, the Senate blew trump conviction today in the wind…so will the courts take over and convict trump..I sure hope so..
It will take a black woman to do what treasonous Republicons won’t do for the good of the country.
Is she going to investigate Joe Biden when he promised Georgia voters
$2,000 if they vote for the Democrat Senator candidates just days before
the January 5th election?
18 U.S. Code § 597 – Expenditures to influence voting
Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or
withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and
Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote—
Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or
both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title
or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.
so why doesn’t the DC AG do the same as the Georgia AG and have a real trial instead of this mockery?
