Trump Declares War On The Impeachment Inquiry | Deadline | MSNBC

This is such a very sad time in U.S.A. history. I remember as a kid being proud to be an American because it stood for freedom, bravery and truth.

[toughluckfellow]

I miss the days when the biggest scandal we had to worry about was the chosen color of the president's suit...

[glenysthomson]

Hello trolls if the man is so innocent what is the problem, turn over everything. The more threats the guiltier he looks.
Small joke.. How many trolls does it take to change a lightbulb?

None....They don't change light bulbs, they live in the dark.

[GUESSMYZAIS]

Just imagine what Americans will never know. That's also being kept in secret by this administration.

[stuckmuffin]

If I don't show up to court for a traffic ticket..I go to jail...Why aren't these potential criminals?

[BirdmanKen]

A president who won't submit to the rule of law or constitutional checks and balances has no right leading a nation whose existence is founded on both.

[sharonmores]

When is he going to wise up and realize that he is on the wrong side of what is good for america?

[grimwatcher]

We should be outaged, indignant and angry.
But I'm finding it interesting how this is really testing the limits of the separation of powers and the failsafes and redundancies written into our constitution to prevent this precise abuse of power from an increasingly authoritarian and corrupt executive branch and almost half of the legislative.

Put the diplomat in jail for contempt and see how long it takes to decide to testify. Let's get tough, committees.
It's like playing water polo with an alligator and expecting him to follow the rules. Blink and you are in a death roll toward the bottom of the swamp.

[controllerismxg]

First: "I didn't do it" Then: "Oh.There was evidence? So. yes I did it". Later :
"It wasn't my idea. Someone else asked me to do it". Now: " So what if I did it?
Anything wrong with it?". Haha. SO, WHO DONE IT?

[stevelayton]

How long are Republican Senators going to remain complicit by doing and saying nothing? Why trade your morals for four more years?

[dHolbach]

Make no mistake: this is exactly how dictatorial regimes take control, by refusing to abide by a nation's core laws and procedures.

Be ready to take to the streets, and STAY in the streets, by the millions to peacefully protest. That is the only way to drive out far right fascist coups which the GOP is at the verge of fully being. The future of our democracy is at stake and it is worth fighting for!

Must reads: "On Tyranny" - Timothy Synder and "How Democracies Die" - Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt

[keilabolen]

The full transcript must be pretty damning, considering how horrified aides were reported to be.

[hongpingmike]

look, I'm glad there's an impeachment inquiry. it'll help vote him out 2020 but let's be clear. you need 2/3 of the Senate to kick him out and you know that's not happening. still, Trump has dragged the GOP into the gutter. vote him out.

[brock]

Is this not a situation that the US would have stepped in to "fix" if this was happening in any other country ?

[kirkparkinson]

Just remember they all work for us the taxpayers.

[donaldtrumpisaliar]

If they would've called me, the poll would be at 59%!

[natalieharless]

Screw this legal crap and throw them ALL, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM, under the You have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO DO THIS CONSTITUTIONALLY!

[mikeparker]

Come on the polls to 60% plus and make this fool resign in shame

[tanjaden]

The 'choosen one' declared WAR on his own country.
