White House Reaction To Paul Manafort And Michael Cohen Indictments | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC

[enigmag]

Has any other president continued having frequent rallies after election? He soooo lives for the applause and needs constant praise and adoration, clear signs of a narcissist and possibly a sociopath! It's creepy!

[racqueenus]

Trump can feel sorry for Manafort the crook, but can't feel sorry for the innocent Central Park 5. Wicked man.

[sykobiach]

Time to get Don Jr in front of the grand jury.

[MrEmeryHall]

pardon = obstruction of justice, go for it trump, keep on digging your

[WoodSpriteever]

Trumps going down, this was a huge blow and if the GOP DOESN'T STEP UP WE THE PEOPLE WILL

[Go-Dawgs]

I think most of us are tired of our $ wasted on rallies to boost a crook's ego! Same for all his waste while lying.

[lydiawhyatt]

Manafort is not brave, he is terrified... of the Russian mob...if he starts singing. That is the real reason he is not singing. This is not a joke, Russian mob. Reduction in the sentence does not really help Manafort as his life span will be very short if he starts singing... capish?

[fredfrond]

Mueller has not even weighed in yet. When he makes a move things are going to get interesting.

[spankyx]

"earn a pardon?" that is not what pardons are for. They are for gross miscarriages of justice or extreme hardship. Or people rotting in jail for antiquated laws from another age. Not something you "earn".

[ichifish]

Nice one, Leecia. Don't let that dude mansplain you.

[ermericcarolissen]

Trump's supporters are all just one big, happy family. LITERALLY.

[lexas]

Trump is holding rallies on the Titanic. 'Political courage' in the same sentence as 'Republicans'...lol

[mrs.humbledfive]

Omarosa might not be credible but those receipts are

[michelwillems]

Is there anything Manafort could "break" about? Time after time Trump confesses without confessing.

[jkbjkb]

The countdown clock has begun. Pence needs to go too.

[happyhaze]

I agree. Don the Con was uncharateristically muted in his rally.
But he'll still pretend to the public that it's not really happening and he's living in an alternate universe.

[barneypotter]

where is the outrage from thee republican house and senate where is it .

[NottyAries]

This "wall" brought to you by sponsors, Cohen and Manafort 😂

[pauline]

The unindicted co-conspirator has got to go.

[stallman]

"...applied tremendous pressure on him and...he refused to break."
Wow. Can he be anymore mob boss like?
Hey yo Pauly. Saw the cops talkin to you over there. You ain't say nothin did you?
