  1. This former president's story is the same as South Africa's former president i.e zuma. They both are currently charged with crimes that will see them end up in an actual prison. They're both spending most of their months in and out of court rooms. The South African former president has already spent time in prison for defying it's constitutional court and will go back to complete that sentence. Trump will be no different. There is a high probability that he will end up in a federal prison.

  2. Pletka is a fascist ideologue dressed in the sheep's wool of intellectualism. Her argument is the definition of specious; that because we uphold the law in this circumstance then we will forever be forced to pursue our political opponents in court? It is simply her desire for Trump to be unfettered as he runs in 24. She is the most dangerous type of American and should have been called out as such at this table.

  3. SUAREZ! WHAT A TRAITOR.. IF YOU WANT TO HEAL THE COUNTRY THEN PUT TRUMP IN PRISON YOU COWARD!

  4. I am sure that if Trump were President he would pardon Biden to heal the country! LOL
    If Biden pardons Trump…the next day Trump would be on Fox News talking about what a weak chump Biden was to let off a perfect criminal.

  5. IF YOU PARDON TRUMP.. IT WON'T HEAL THE COUNTRY.. IT'LL CAUSE ANOTHER RIOT.. CITIZENS WONT STAND FOR IT!

  6. I 'think' the politicians AND the voters are looking for a copout. "A pardon to heal the country"? Is that some kind of sick joke? If we are talking about justice and nobody is above the law then LET THE LAW BE ADMINISTERED! Otherwise we no longer have a country or a society.

  7. WHY DOESN’T THIS STATION COVER BIDEN AND HIS CORRUPTION!!! I USED TO THINK NBC WAS THE BEST CHANCE OF GETTING ACTUAL CURRENT EVENTS,,, NOW I SEE THEY ARE JUST AS BIAS AS FOX!!!

  8. No one is above the law…if he is found guilty by a jury, he should NOT get a get out of jail free card or a pardon!

  9. I need to hear what Biden says on record. If he says he will pardon him I will stay home.

  10. "No one is above the law " but when the dictatorial formed and are appearing then the law is under their hands.Their persons have been set up in the important positions anywhere . When they target and act , they use any contrivances , no one can escape even an ant.

  11. A neoconservative, Pletka staunchly supported the Iraq War, holds hawkish views on Iran, defends the use of torture, and rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.

  12. MAGA Danielle is nut 🥜

  13. This white supremacists mess is anti democracy Trump is anti democracy and their leader

  14. Biden shd not pardon Trump. That's insane

  15. Wrong ! They will not consider Manchin.

  16. You're guest does not know what she's talking about. Hillary was not being looked at for espionage.

  17. Trump is a traitor & cheater & grifter & tried to overthrow the US Government. Please – you can not pardon him. Especially if he has been tried & sentenced by a jury.

  18. We the people want to see Donald Trump lock up. He is a menace to our society.

  19. 11:08 What is up with this panel? They keep forgetting their thoughts. Are they having strokes?

  20. 6:22 Sorry Aussie, she was not charged because she did try to keep them nor hide them. Trump did. If you are going to argue this be honest and accurate.

  21. This Pletka woman is insane! She's wrong! Trump has to be held accountable for his crimes the same as anybody else in this country! To treat him differently because he's a former President is sick!!! The rule of law has to apply to all! They've already given him special treatment in every way! Anybody else would have been in jail months ago for doing what he did!

  22. I'm so impressed with the moderator's ability to generate a fresh and interesting conversation after days of nonstop coverage of the indictment. The interjection of the news about the No Labels announcement helped but mostly it was the panelists' very candid responses and willingness to amiably disagree. Bravo 👏

  23. You let Pletka voice Republican lies about Hillary and did not fact check her. You just let it blow by. Shame shame

  24. Okay! A company provides products and services throughout the world. The company has to keep detailed records of all those dealings. The dealings include strategies, cost, warranties… The CEO of this company, along with upper management and support staff, we'll call them the old administration, were voted out by stock holders and replaced. The new administration doesn't have it's records of all past dealings because the old administration believes, those records belong to them. This case is turned over to the courts.
    Your opinion is for the new administration to pardon the old. What!

  25. Trump is a criminal and a traitor who belongs in jail, at least locked down with no means to communicate, never again to walk on any stage.

  26. What's with the blond woman in the oversized glasses? She can't handle listening to the other person trying to engage in a discussion on whether Clinton's email server rose to the same level as Trump's traitorous acts. She just interrupts and talks over him. Must be a Republicon. She becomes visibly agitated when the guy tries to correct what the report said re email server.

  27. Bidens puppets at NBC

  28. Trump must be held accountable. These MAGA's are still lost. Make America Great Again means it has never been great. I grew up believing America is great and will always be great. DO YOU SEE THE BIG LIE NOW!!!!! I HATE TRUMP!!!!!

  29. Wouldn't it – couldn't it, woulda shoulda maybe, if this or that then this may happen if people are not happy then subvert the law so idiots smile more. You should title your show meet the hypothetical press. I guess you have to fill time.

  30. A masterstroke might be to let the trial and eventual conviction come, Biden pardens the document charges, but lets all other investigations continue without issue. Trump would be pitied and rescued by his bitter enemy, Biden would win favor for "healing" the country, and Trump would still face plenty of charges elsewhere. I still absolutely want him held accountable, don't misunderstand.

  31. That blonde chick is dead behind the eyes.😬

  32. Independents are the majority in this country! We are 50% of voter's Democrat's and Republicans are each 25% in 2023 based on registered voters! It's time to put Independents in offices and fix this countries problems!

  33. . Pardon a criminal for what, he should do his time for committing the crimes. Period. These reporters are idiotic nut cases and thank the heavens they have no power.

  34. Anyone commentator who thinks pardoning trump will heal the nation needs to change their profession. Talk about not paying attention to the People!

  35. NO…..no one should pardon trump. There must be serious consequence if there’s ever to be any deterrent to the next corrupt or unhinged potus, or any official for that matter. We can’t be the idealistic country she suggests unless we actually were a country without crime……which we’re not by a long shot. Also GOP is completely gone off the rails now and anything goes, so they will continue to spitefully go after the other side. This country NEEDS and deserves justice to restore some morale and reinstate some semblance of rule of law.

  36. D listers round table discussion

  37. This was a complete waste of airtime 😡😡😡

  38. Daniela Pletka is full of lies about Hilary email issue…

  39. IDIOTS!!!
    The REASON Hillary wasn't charged was because at that point, it was NOT illegal to use a Private Server and she had ZERO classified documents on it, at this point, it is illegal. Laws have to catch up with technology, they can NOT anticipate it.

  40. A Presidential Paedon only applies to Federal Offenses, it would not apply to Georgia, the Constitution grants that authority to the Governor of the State the criminal offense was committed in.
