How utterly broken the USA has become.

[toddsmith]

It was the perfect conversation if it gets trump impeached!

[bootsiethomas]

He's right about one thing what happened in 2016 is a disgrace to this country. He got to be in the position he's in now

[DD-ulyy]

Pearl-clutcher in Chief! This guys self delusionment is astounding.

[Sehara]

Putin already told him DON'T YOU DARE TO RELEASE OUR CONVERSATION!

[uhhuhsure]

"Rick Scott is a really smart man" - said no sane person ever.

[rjlchristie]

He's incapable of ever finishing a sentence on the same point that he starts it on.

[Pschool]

Oh god, his hands are doing circus tricks, and we all know what that means. He is lying.

[alanbatty]

He just goes on and on and on and on and on ....

[DewinVega]

I spoke like him once at an executive meeting, and was quickly demoted to Junior Analyst....

[qc]

I have never seen someone completely admit their guilt, he tries to convince himself.

[dyslexicteletubby]

His transcript says the same thing the whistleblower said

Let’s remember the president of Finland is sitting right next to him in this video.

[ChauNguyen-wipe]

He sounds like a 6 grader making excuses when caught cheating on a test...

[scottkrater]

To quote Senator Graham, "you don't need a magic phrase" to impeach the president, and you don't have to commit a crime, it's about cleansing the office and restoring honor to the Presidency.

[BrianYoungauthor]

He is just rambling and making no sense...talking in circles. These Whistleblowers are fine...if they don't do it to him...what a lunatic.

[gordontinderholt]

Man, too bad there wasn't someone in the room coughing to signal he should shut his trap. Keep digging that hole don

[jeckjeck]

Trump: ''By legitimate I mean loyal to me, not US; That's what I consider legitimate.''

[tonyjohansson]

Poor president Niinistö of Finland, forced to listen to this guy...

[ethanboyd]

'Quid pro quo' is NOT required to prove the criminal act, solicitation meets the statute.
Byt yeah it was there too anyway.

[milanmckay]

Lindsey is the last man in the earth you should believe 🤥🤥🤥
