Senator Russ Feingold’s Advice For Senate Republicans On Impeachment | The Last Word | MSNBC

Lawrence always keeps it extra real, he's the man.

[marcemson]

Here's my advice for them.

"Choose your country and its citizens over the conman."

It's not "that" hard!

[why-even-try-brotendo]

I'll never forgive my fellow Wisconsinites for not re-electing this man. He stood for country over party and principal over partisanship. He was one of the very few Senators with the foresight to vote against the Iraq War as well. Russ Feingold got a raw deal and hopefully he runs again someday.

[larryhovekamp]

Russ, we miss you. We want you back.

[gilly]

There is a resonating "la la la, I can't hear you", from the right.

[reginamartinez]

They took their oath to DT more serious than their oath to our country?! WTF!

[reubenj.cogburn]

This guy should have been a candidate for president, he would have been good at it.

[debraa.]

Full trial, unbiased opinion and truthful vote for the good of our country

[ruthdepew]

Very few votes are specifically remembered in a Senate career. The impeachment vote will be one of them. It will be a legacy vote for each and every Senator.

[purpleflametarot]

I understand differences in policy, but when it comes to the National Security and the very fabric of our democracy, we should be UNITED. What's going on now is not a partisan issue, it is an American issue! There is no place for Russia or any other country in our internal affairs.. OR Traitors!

[kennethhumpf]

My question? Is this process televised so the PUBLIC can observe the activity of each & every Senator?

[michaelhoerig]

"I voted to actually hear the evidence before I voted." Gee, do ya think...?

[darthsailormoon]

If voting required a min IQ of 1 we would of never been in this mess.

[sherievans]

...not only a trial of a president, it’s a trial of justice, truth, and the intellectual & moral capacity of those who serve the people of the USA. It’s also a trial of the honesty & integrity of the media & news services in America & around the world. Much rests on the outcome, not least the strength & endurance of the American republic & democracy. There are many who seek the demise of America & what it stands for. Remember those that fought & died for liberty. Liberty is the reward for constant vigilance. Lest we forget.

*Country over Party and Politician! This is not that difficult folks...* 🙄

[MrKansaitim]

Crank UP the Spinal Tap soundtrack!!! Family values.

[gunner]

Quite right. Country over politics justice over country.

[VagabondiOfficialTV]

how did Republicans go from Abraham Lincoln to Donald Trump ?!
can anybody explain it to me ! Please🙏

[aheckers]

That interview as way to short. Sen. Finegold is one time man.

[dahawk]

Chief prosecutor, closing argument: "A failure to convict will make the statement that lying under oath, while unpleasant and to be avoided, is not all that serious ..."

4:02 - Notice that Feingold makes absolutely no mention of the perjury charge.
