  1. Of course it was a Violation of Criminal Law. If a normal person was found to have undermined the election process, they would be apprehended with imminent haste! Even the question of such is an insult to the intelligence of child in grade school.💯

  2. If it did criminal charges would have been filed

  3. I don't if Trump violated yet another law; I want him charged with something before the end of the world.

  4. Message from the Orange One…

    Such Tremendous Lies & Innuendo

    Donald J Trump

    Their lead investigator just quit, they cancelled or postponed future hearings, the T.V. Ratings are absolutely abysmal,

    and Shifty Schiff continues his sanctimonious “interviews” just as though he were talking about his first four failed hoaxes!

    Such tremendous lies and innuendo took place yesterday at the Unselect Committee on January 6th. They don’t want the

    facts of the Election, or discussions of the Security Breach by Pelosi and the Dems, they only want to continue the Greatest

    Witch Hunt in our Country’s history. You will never get the truth when you have biased and hateful witnesses who are allowed

    to go on and on without even the slightest cross examination. Republicans should be allowed representation!!!

  5. The Election WAS STOLEN!!! Now we go to WAR!!!

  6. "Alleged pressure"

    Stop beating around the bush. The proof is there.

  7. Who cares way bigger problems I see you trying to distract🤪

  8. No matter how many times your mind-numbing propaganda factory lies and claims that there was no evidence of voter fraud, you're not going to convince anyone with a brain. People have seen countless videos of sold-out Trump rallies, and the geriatric pretender's little events with a handful of sycophantic journalists milling around. No one really believes that the puppet destroying our economy could win any legitimate election.

  9. Trump should be in jail.

  10. Alleged…which means..not true..which is what msnbc is. Not true. Paid story tellers. And they aren't very good at it

  11. DemoCraps Desperate Before Election !!! Just Suffer with High $$$ Gas an Food !!! It's for. Your OWN Good !!! Lol

  12. TRUMP4PRISON
    TRUMP20TOLIFE

  13. Shout out to George Floyd on 2 years of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!

  14. Sorry, MAGAfans. Your "Dear Leader" lost and is never coming back.

    Too bad for you, huh?
