Trump Lawyer Reveals Impeachment Defense In Fiery MSNBC Interview | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

[harumih.]

Ali is great lawyer, asking the right questions, rattling the respondent. This is the very way a competent lawyer asks questions when the opposite side is trying to hide or defend a defenseless client.

[michaelteresko]

Always been impressed by Sekolow. Concise, well spoken, and understands the law and his responsibilities under it.
God bless the USA.

[RU-zmwj]

He looks like one of Mr. Burns lawyers, on "The Simpsons"'

[Sam-mxsl]

If Trump didn't do anything wrong, why are the trumpateers panicking?

[reveivl]

Sekulow visibly struggles at several points to avoid saying something that could come back to bite him. Not sure he succeeds.  

40 of Nixons enablers went to jail...

[beefmaster]

Founding fathers rolling over in their graves like "what did we write this stuff for if it wasn't for this lunatic?"

[Flashblade]

Jay is a hero for not losing his temper here.

[xkgfjzc]

I dont care about the "whistleblower" I have the transcript

[davidv]

"Why stonewall the subpoenas or the evidence if it clears your client."
And then Sekulow stonewalls the response.

[RichWinder-jexn]

Trump's trying to railroad Joe Biden,
from Kiev, to Moscow, to Leyden,
wherever he can find,
a foreign national of any kind,
to influence the 2020 Decidin'.

[markcama]

A honest man has nothing to hide, while a dishonest man will do whatever it takes to shift the focus.

[buzztrucker]

Terrible interviewer. Cuts off Sekulow a lot and then takes hold of the conversation when Sekulow wants to rebuttal.

[jessiek]

Why trump's people always raise their voices to try to make their lies true?

[blakehampton]

Ari very skilled getting these guys on the record

[mitcharney]

Sekulow is correct in every aspect with info he presented....in between interruptions.

[williamskiles]

The only thing the whistleblower has to add is who told him. Nothing else, we have the transcript

[elathan]

Except attorney client privilege doesn't protect crimes. Already stablished the FEC law he's violating.

[anne-marievini]

spilled my covfefe laughing - with a lawyer like that he needs to be packing his bags quickly.. though it doesn't matter what the republicans do.. after the dems impeach, the trump brand will be forever equated to impeachment and corruption.. talk about a brand killer

[bennyvgrant]

My thumb down is for the interviewer... What a waste of time.

[chuckmclaughlin]

This so-called interview is just a set up for the interviewer to blab, interrupt and show contempt of the interviewee's remarks. Art Me;lber is a biased and inept individual who likes to hear himself talk.
