Richard Nixon's Lawyer Flipped To Get Out Of Prison. How's Cohen Feeling? | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

Rachel, your history lessons are fantastic! Thanks making sense of the crazy times we live on!

[dominicanbrian]

I look forward to your take on the news! Never change the way you deliver it!

Rachel is a National treasure. She always delivers so much varied information from all sorts of left fields, and then, like the master storyteller she is, manages to tie all the threads together and make sense of it all by the end of her show. Hated by Trump fans, who have the 'bumper sticker' attention span of their Dear Leader, her broadcasts are everything that professional journalism should be for anyone who actually has and uses their brains.

[Ray__E]

I'm in love with Rachel. I'm sure my wife won't mind.lol This woman is great. She brings the facts and hard truth to the table every time. This is what top notch journalism should be

[samonas]

It's not fair how Rachael compares Trump's corruption with Nixon's. Nixon's corruption was way smarter.

[chevalvivant]

History repeats itself, to the week, so many parallels.

[MrOvadose]

Great commentary Rachel. He who overlooks history, is doomed to repeat it. Present company included. Lot of lessons to be learned watching this video.

I very much hope that justice will be done and Trump and his cronies are found guilty and spend the rest of their lives in prison.
But unfortunately there is two different justice systems. Those for the rich and powerful. And one for the rest of us.

[gerardgauthier]

One thing to consider... If American politicians will treat their own system with such disrespect. How do you think American politicians will treat a foreign system?

[Greenscyth]

Dirty people doing dirty things can't really plead ignorance. That means YOU too Trump.

[alexciawood]

I love watching Rachel deliver the news. Very informative

[michelwillems]

I am getting impatient. How long before he is chased out of the WH on a beam, covered with tar and feathers, arrested to get a triple life sentence without parole and forced to labour in a chain gang, while singing the national hymne and being the one who has to pick up the soap in the showers? I had a dream that day will come...

[bc]

Next Nixon/Trump parallel needs to be how Pence will end up like Agnew.

[MsWheely]

"Those who don't learn from history, are destined to repeat it" was a quote I learned in secondary history lessons

[NajSinghs]

You find EVERYONE'S missing bones! Lmao! Lawd...his FIRST job, Rachel?!? That's what I'm talking about. Lol😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽❤🔥🔥🔥

[goldengirl]

Im guessing this crook need a fixer himself.... Sad

[RzmmDX]

Hmm. Dirt bags seem to be excellent in identifying other dirt bags. Good to know.

[tellethomas]

So eerie that this is playing out again but I'm not so sure the ending will be as graceful. Know your history or you are doomed to repeat it.
