My greatest hope is that soon this circus will end. Trump has exhausted every ounce of compassion that I feel for every human being. Thanks, Lawrence!

I can't express how overwhelmed I am that this has happened. I hope everyone truly recognizes how important this is for Democracy !! Not just here but everywhere!!

[denisemarie-yjqw]

I read the the indictment and it is staggering. May our courts hold strong and true to the rule of law.

[dianasherrill]

Every time I hear that short indictment speech it brings me to tears. Thank God for people that believe in the rule of law!

I love it. His own words used against him to bring him to Justice. So very poetic.

This time, there's no Bill Barr to create a false summary of the indictments.

Mr. Lawrence O'Donnell, Absolutely And Unequivocally Appreciate All The Time, Effort And Hard Work You Put Into Producing These Most Excellent Newsworthy Videos. .. Finally, The Devil Gets His Due!!!

This was a long time coming and I'm so happy about the fact he's been indicted on 37 felonies but the indictment I'm waiting for is the Jan 6th indictment. That one better contain the names of sitting GOP Congresspeople.

"Did you ever show those documents to anyone?" - "Not really..." = "Yes I did"

[christinekelly]

Well done Mr Smith. Our Nation is grateful.

[terrencekane]

In no way should Trump get bail. He should be remanded until trial.

[Hykje]

"I had the absolute right to have those documents according to the rules I just made up."

[SnoozeAddict]

I was waiting for this. In Lawrence we trust 😊
