I'm the public and I'm interested in getting to the bottom of all of the allegations and potential crimes.

Happy to see Cuomo back….covering this….thank you

[BusterBronco]

Chris, you are 100% correct on this sir! As a lifelong Republican I’m sick of the gotcha politics that are dividing our nation. Thank you for your candor

When did the G.O.P. position become a factor when making criminal charges on a citizen in this country? Garland and his justice department should proceed.

Applying the Rule of Law to everyone is in the public's interest. People are SICK and TIRED of seeing people who are in positions of power and/or wealth be let off the hook for their wrongdoing. Everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time in the morning. The law is the law. If the evidence is there, PROCEED.

The rule of law is the most important thing.

Well said Chris :) No one is above the law !!

You are a voice that needs to be heard.Truth telling is a precious gift and it can be heard in you Chris! Grazie du cuore!

Trump deserve no discretion. Discretion is for people who don't constantly try to cheat and run their mouth 24hrs a day!

[lhamp]

It’s good to see him back on air like this

[johncoleman]

Chris if nothing was ever done about trumps misbehaviour in and out of office..you'd be the first to ask why...if nothing is done it opens the door for others, and that wouldn't end well..

The problem(s) that I'd like addressed are enforcing laws against overthrowing our gov't. Maybe that's not a big deal to a little coup, what's the big deal? News alert, some Americans actually care about not becoming an authoritarian dictatorship because nobody will stand up for the constitution or democracy.

[jacquelynemartin]

Nobody is above the law Chris, you should know that. The need for him to be held to account is far more important than whatever the republicans have planned. Politicians have forgotten their jobs which is to work for the people not the party, that's what's wrong with your politics.

[vincentizzo]

Justice and accountability is always in the publics interest

[Orionwatch]

Chris, your insight is fantastic, clear and to the point. You will be watched in my home.

[buckeyefan]

Glad to see you back on the air Chris! Usually, I'm pretty aligned with your opinion on politics, but there is one thing I'm not sure I'm comfortable with. You gave Paul Manafort a platform on NewsNation. Nothing personal against Manafort, and I have nothing against giving convicted felons a second chance once they've paid there debt to society, but Manafort did not pay his debt since he was pardoned by Trump, or sentence commuted. In my eyes, he should not be given a platform for this reason. Trumps reasons were corrupt for commuting his sentence, he didn't pay his debt to society, he shouldn't be given a platform. You disappointed me with this one. Just my opinion.

[OBGynKenobi]

Isn't accountability for criminal behavior in the interest of the public?

What if you stole top secret doc's, do you think you'd be free, because it's meh?

[ACR]

Over reacting. If he committed a crime he should be charged. Who cares about the implications. No one is above the law.

[squirrel-daily]

Better hurry up, the guy still has the top secrete documents!!!

[robertstanford]

You can't both sides every issue Chris sometimes the line between right and wrong is very clear with no grey area. No one is above the law, particularly when it strikes at the very core of the sanctity of the electoral system, democracy and the peaceful transition of power. They are the very foundations on which the country is built and they must be maintained.
