This, as always, was excellent coverage of just another crime and I commented on it already.

I would like to request is that you essplain sumpin to me Dan...

Why in the HELL have we not put an end to this GOTP BS witholding funds from the Ukraine by simply calling Putin what he is and declare him a terrorist and give the funds of theirs we have frozen to the Ukrainians? I understand that Joe is against that for some reason and I just can't rap my head around why. He could even use the RECO act? It's obvious that the GOTP is going to throw Ukraine and all of Europe for that matter under the bus. We should have turned those funds over to the Ukraine the day he crossed the border. More sanctions won't do anything more than all the rest of them have done. Putin may be a few weeks if not days away from having his way with Ukraine...the first domino.

Could we have a show of hands from ANYone that is even a LITTLE bit surprised?

No? Nobody? Me neither.

No one will do anything about it. Thats how it is with kings.

We need to stay on top of Trump but we need to keep hope up too. My question is when he is in jail what will is secret service guys do? I know he won’t be in real prison but he will have some painful consequences. I used to joke though that we should make him a king where he has no power. Like with a Burger King crown.

Jail...you can't seriously believe he'lle ver spend a minute in jail? He's already been quoted in a public iterview, "Who knows, I might even have to leave the country?" I'm sure the course is already plotted in his 757.

Astute and necessary observations. Trump does seem to be getting away with immoral and apparently illegal acts. It is exhausting to be a citizens watching this play out with a constant ambient stress to our daily lives. Thank you for keeping this front and center. We can't become immune to this.

Mr. Rather, please check out these Documentary's if you have not seen them. The first is about Les Wexner, Epstein, Donald, and called, "Victoria Secrets: Angels & Demons" showing on Hulu station.

The second one is, "Camp Confidential: Americas Secret Nazis," on Netflix.

The Camp Confidential is the secret of bringing 1,600 Nazi War Criminals into the USA and treating them like kings. Putting the puzzle pieces together will take us all.

Don’t forget Kushner enabling the torture, murder, and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Kashoggi, ordered by Kushner’s little buddy Saudi Prince Bonesaws, because Kashoggi had written articles criticizing the Saudi royal family and trump. Then, Bonesaws gives Kushner $2 billion.

That was one of the most shameful chapters of the Trump presidency. How the Trumps and the Kushners can live inside of their own rotting skins and fetid souls is a mystery for future psychologists unravel, but there is no doubt that they have blood on their hands from that dirty money. My mind goes to Lady Macbeth: "Out, damn spot!" My advice to Kushner and Trump: Keep scrubbing, you filthy animals.

We also recently learned that donald accepted millions from the Saudi's to put in his businesses and that is why he did nothing about the slaughter of our Reporter.

What was donald selling? Military secrets? Access? Tapes to blackmail people?

Yes, donald will not have a capitol letter in his name, from me anyway. After I just learned that Donald raped a 13-year-old girl he called his sex slave. And she got death threats and ended her suite. Rapist & Traitors are not deserving of their name being a capitol letter. Well, not we know that some of the Republicans are also being blackmailed. Putin has cameras everywhere. Epstein had cameras everywhere. So, did donald?

The Constitution is a flawed, outdated document that will never be amended because it requires bipartisan support., including 3/4 of the states. Why even have an emoluments claus if Trump doesn't have to abide by it. What have a 14th Amendment if insurrectionists like Trump are allowed to run for president. These are the actions of a wannabe dictator. That's what a major part of our electorate want. Can you believe it?

I can't figure out how the GOTP screams states rights as long as it's convienent?

The STATES run the Presidential election. How does the U.S. Supreme Court even have a say?

The Constitution is fine, it's the Electorial College that has our presidential elections fouled up. This next election may come down to a handful of districts!!! Until ALL individual votes are counted in the tally voting is a waste of time for most folkies.

There is no bar set so low that His Grande Orangeness will not attempt to limbo beneath it. He is a traitor and ought to be treated as such. Rot in prison or face a firing squad for his treasonous contributions to the events of 01.06/2021.

I believe we all would give anything to keep our country safe!

Thank you for your service.

Curious. Does 45 intend to keep America safe, or is it a part of his historical narcissistic autocratic intentions, that overwhelm democratic considerations ? While rubbing elbows and praising the autocrats of the world.

If I understood your question I would answer it better. But I don't. Autocratic wannabees care about nothing and noone but themselves and power, oh and money for themselves, so caring for the safety of this country? I think, no. But again, I don't really understand your question entirely.

Please explain why the report is coming from Democrats only? Is the Oversight Committee not bipartisan?

The republicans are corrupt as well, and this behavior is OK with them. They will all exploit their positions if they can.

They must all be voted out in the next election.

No matter how often circumstances require it, I appreciate your steadily calling this sort of thing out.

Even if Trump has established a trust, that does not seem a sufficient enough buffer to negate the conflict of interest of foreign dignitaries staying at his properties and enriching a trust that he would be the benefactor of after leaving office. Since he didn't do it anyway, I guess it is moot, but if our democracy survives might be worth examining to strengthen safeguards in the future.

The saddest part of these unsurprising revelations is that Trump conducted these illegal activities in his role as president using our tax dollars. He has no regard for our rule of law, our construction, or the office of the president. It's heartbreaking that so many of our fellow Americans are too blinded by Trump's racism and bigotry to see that he's grossly unfit to ever hold public office again.

Blame American voters. I am ashamed to be classified as one.

I no longer am one. The great experiment is over.

Other countries put their criminal former leaders in jail for their crimes. Why won't the United States put tRump in prison for his treason and continuing crimes?! It's Not That Difficult!

"Do The Crime, Serve The Time". Why do we have these speciffic laws, If they aren't enforced?

Money is above the law. The wealthy just keep appealling and delaying. If TFG is not convicted and sent to prison the world will know the there is no equal justice in this country, just like all the other third world and authoritarian countries. Anyone who echos "innocemt until proven guilty" is just another would be enabler. His crimes are such that if there is any justice he will serve time. If you are aware of his lawyers grasping at straws trying to buy him time you are aware that they know their goose is cooked.

Very well stated.

At the "end of the day", Donald tRump is just a Traitor & Criminal, which has already been proven, regardless of what his former job was! Best Regards To You

All the evidence is there. Either Law in America is upheld, or it means nothing. I don't understand, but this is where we are...
