Trump's Best-Case Scenario On Mueller Report? 'Severe Political Damage' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

[mcsmokey]

Unfortunately I think Nicole is severely underestimating the stupidity of the Trump voter.

[ollieo.]

Best case scenario would be impeachment for trump. Best case scenario for the American people federal prison for Trump and his family.

[tommyl.dayandtherunaways]

I'm not the only one concerned about the timing of all this, right? Barr gets confirmed, and all of sudden, the investigation is over? It's too abrupt, it feels strange. All I'm saying is don't celebrate too soon...

[hibomaxamad]

We want to know the truth. Mueller please say the truth about Trump 🙋

[entertaintech]

This is why public education is important to invest in.

[mikeyb]

MAKE IT PUBLIC... IN DETAIL... EVERY SINGLE LINE.. NO BLACKED-OUT PARTS

[maxo.]

Funny but true. If any other country experiences what USA is facing right now, the same USA will quickly jump in to interfere in the country's sovereignty but why is it taking this long to fix herself remains the question that bugs me?

[jessiek]

the supporters you see behind trump in rally are cheering him on even when he do u call that? smart?

[tilog]

"He's betting his whole presidency on the stupidity of the Trump base." LOL! I'm not as optimistic as Nicole Wallace because I don't believe Trump's base is smart enough to figure out that they are being played for suckers.

[tim]

The stupidity of his base cannot be measured, it has to be dug for.

[richx]

Hope that Mueller’s report isn’t compromised by Trump’s new AG. Let’s also hope that the Mueller report whenever completed actually sheds some light.

[elliotlake]

Nicole Wallace should be the guest on every show on the network. Even the commercials!

[inspectorbsdetector]

Trump might win that bet, his base is alarmingly stupid.

[ollieo.]

If Trump is betting on the stupidity of his base to believe everything he says. I would probably have to bet on that too.

[potdog]

I can't get passed the fact that this will be a giant whitewash

[kavel]

"Never bet on stupidity of voters. Voters are not His whole presidency is (quite successfully) based on stupidity of his voters. WTF is Nicole talking about?

[davers]

Trump's best-case scenario is defect to Mother Russia next week when he is overseas. His defection means he might escape any possible indictment or impeachment here at home.

[SuffuseStudios]

Yo, lol that's cause his base is that dumb lol

[hectorortiz]

Anything trump does will be ok with his base if true he’s guilty he should be removed

[jannmutube]

The focus should be what is best for the country. From my perspective, the evidence in public video tapes, court documents, and sentencing statements is already overwhelming. According to former prosecutors, Trump didn't have to know about every detail of the conspiracy... Trump publicly participated in the conspiracy on June 7, July 27, and October 11, 2016. He confessed to Lester Holt on May 11, 2016 and Putin confessed on the world stage on July 16, 2018.

I don't know what instructions a Judge would give a jury or what a jury would decide but, to me, the direct and circumstantial evidence looks conclusive. Mueller shouldn't bear any negative repercussions for issuing an indictment against Trump... and putting the question to the court.
