Please. Please don't let this story die. Don't let it disappear. This needs to get so much coverage that people go to prison.

Honest Journalists should be given the Nobel peace prize.
Where do they think people are going to get water. And the People downstream ...
Makes me weep this government is ruining the USA.

[larrysnyder]

Only the best people.

You are awesome.
Keep up your fine work in bringing us the real news.

Trump is draining the swamp to find only the best swamp monsters.

Good point Rachel about watching what they do. It's like that carnival shell game with a pea and three half shells. We're sure the pea is under one of the shells. Thanks for the Arizona update.

This is a big business strategy. Split & move departments, force downsizing of career employees, phase out union workers by backfilling with higher paid management workers & then later phase them out & hire preferred private contractors with no government oversight & regulation of privately owned LLCs.

11:59 ... is there a single person in this admin that isn't knee deep in corruption... at this point they're all pretty much guilty until proven innocent...

[deandemarest]

Thank you thank you @rachelmaddow for telling the truth.

The saddest thing is that the diamondbacks owner is already insanely rich, he just wants this ridiculous development for greed and self gratification...

[MrPrintman]

This story reminds me of the ending to a James Bond movie whr Daniel Craig’s Bond character leaves the bad guys in middle of a desert & tosses him a can of motor oil to drink if he got thirsty. Moral of story, all the $$$$ on God’s green earth won’t do you $#IT if you don’t have a few drops of water to save your life when in need. The idiocy of these ppls greed is unbelievable

[pattydonohue]

Words of wisdom: "Do not be manipulated. Watch what they do, not what they say." Rachel is a powerful educator. Thank you RM!

[endnami]

Oh my God this whole thing was giving me the creeps I'm so glad this corrupt devil is being investigated

[TheExWife]

I'm still trying to understand the logic behind building 28, 000 homes with not enough water to sustain the ppl that currently live there and ppl they're hoping would move there. What kind of greed is this?

[marconius]

Same thing is happening at HUD, they are selling of buildings and land underhand...

[Ayay]

Stable Genius :Take it easy folks, We will use the Drained swamp water in washington and use it in Benson, problem solved . Trust me i know the best people .

[cherylclark]

Supreme Court needs to stop covering for Trump and start Governing for

[Scott_works]

Thank the founding fathers for Freedom of the Press so that things like this can be exposed! Great reporting!

[DAYBROK]

Wasn’t trump going to pay for his campaign? So why did he have donors?

[jeripruneda]

Rachel stay on this story! People need to know.
