  1. Hope Jeff DeWit enjoys being followed for the rest of his days.
    He might want start talking soon before those powerful people get ahold of him.

  2. I'm sure NBC will now send out their best investigative journalist to find out who was actually making the bribe. Oh it's the same guy that tells us what stories to push…. nevermind.

  3. Of course he bribed her.

    The proof ?

    He asked her to give a "counter offer".

    You cant give a counter offer unless an offer (the bribe) was provided to you first.

    Duh…

  4. So he resigned because he knows he's guilty.

    Got it.

  5. Corruption runs deep in politics and the media. She may not share your views but she is a good honest person.

  6. Where are the women rights activist and me too movement for this great woman. Keep it up Kari Lake God bless.

  7. Wake up to what’s going on people,Trump 24,everything he is telling you is true

  8. One more uniparty trash ran out of office

  9. Another quintessential Republican.

  10. He LOOKS exactly like a Mitch republican. Bet he has Mitch's playbook memorized.

  11. He wasn't a republican, he was a RINO

  12. Well, looks like Arizona GOP's covert mission to be the next Hollywood blockbuster just backfired. Can't wait for the sequel: 'Bribery Wars: The Cartel Strikes Back!'

  13. It's exactly what a bribe is, when asked if willing to take something… This was of course done to damage Trump, that's what it's all about to these globalist crooks.

  14. He will disappear really fast, the people out east can’t have him talk.

  15. What needs to done is find out who else was involved and where was the money coming from.

  16. Nice work, America. You’ve really got this best country in the world dialed in with your 24/7/365 arguments about politics and election coverage, interrupted periodically by a bunch of kids getting murdered at school and books being banned

  17. Nikki Haley got a similar offer! Instead of having morals like Kari Lake, little Nikki took a lucrative job at Boeing.

  18. KARI SAID A LONG TIME AGO, TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE…& ON VIDEO REACHING MILLIONS OF PPL.. *THAT SHE RECORDS AND VIDEO TAPES EVERYTHING! AS SHE WELL *SHOULD.
    TO PROTECT HERSELF AND
    HAVE THE *RECEIPTS OF THE *TRUTH.
    I SAY, *BRAVISSIMA, KARI!!!

  19. Yeah, but how to spin it, so it's the democrats. Grrrr!

  20. So now you all defend a Republican only because hes anti trump. 😂

  21. Wow, bribery, threats, extortion, isn't this illegal on both sides? Or are they so well connected that they won't be prosecuted

  22. Another anti trump tds clown

  23. Swamp. Democrats do it too. All of dc is scum

  24. Lake is going to come out of the gate like an EXPLOSION!!

  25. So, now we're all aware: #KariLake #secretly #records all her interactions.

  26. So much corruption in washington dc. We all better come together and get this taken care of

  27. And another thing why didn’t NBC play most of the tape ?instead claim that he said it was edited really play the whole thing from beginning to end just like the J6 tapes play him play him we want the whole truth and nothing but the truth don’t imply that the person that stepped down Claims that it was that it and let us hear it for ourselves let us discern for ourselves that’s what’s wrong with the media today that’s what’s wrong with it you know you had to say something about it on NBC because you couldn’t just ignore it so what you did was imply yada yada yada come on now let us be the jury with all the info because that’s when media has changed

  28. Lol Keri the real American s stand with you
