  1. This is just another attempt by the MAGA Congressional Republicans to free Donald Trump from the Russian Collusion and Election Interference findings of the Marco Rubio Replubican led 12/4/2020 Senate Intelligence Committee, that found strong evidence of collusion between the Donald Trump Election Campaign Committee and Russian oligarchs whom were identified as assets for Russian Intelligence agents. The Intel Committee final report and conclusions was heavily supported by 17 US and Foreign Allied Intelligence agencies reports–which were (strangely) never included in the so-called fact-finding Mueller Report for the investigation of Russian Election interference and Collusion with Trump Campaign Committee officials. Those Intel reports along, would have been a death-stroke to Trump's House and Senate impeachment cases–had they been revealed THEN, instead of AFTER his Senate trial. Trump would have been possible sitting in jail right now (had that happened). Thank you Robert Mueller, for your service to our Freedoms and Democracy in America (I perhaps, expected far too much from you).

  2. Hillary Clinton actually did this with the Russians. Not President Trump.

  3. that intern will never work in politics again 😢

  4. I play life in 6 all the way to the end of life vi seconds

  5. Robert Mueller has 400 persons in the area Boston MA FBI agency employees and he have embezzlement warrants for $300 million dollars embezzled for 6 years and more of 44 years treason embezzlement warrants and issued in January 2010 or 2009. He has many warrants for his group and in 2015 and should not be allowed to work under his embezzlement warrants which makes all investigations illegal he has worked on and 9ft tall Chuy Hernandez in New York FBI agency also has traitor embezzlement warrants in FBI agency bank theft of $5 billion dollars embezzlement. Trump may have been notified of these warrants.

  6. Notably this was done under the Trump Administration.

  7. Disney character panties are the most cutest and comfortable kind of panties to wear vggh

  8. Why no mention of the 101 meetings between trump campaign officials and Russian intelligence agents prior to the 2016 election? That is the WHY of why the FBI investigation began. WHY did MSNBC not mention this? The way it was presented here looks like both side-ism.

  9. Keep fighting Ukraine…🌮🌮🌮📢📢📢

  10. When is it legal to hunt migrants with my AR-15

  11. Ann Arbor Michigan we love you Triumphant Trump ❤🗽🇺🇸💯🎇🎆🎇🎆

  12. Zelenskyy must go to save the children.

  13. The Dems did it. The director of FBI later got fired by Trump who was using an unrelated excuse to fired him. Obviously.

  14. The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

  15. And there's no accountability and no one held responsible. There's that two tier justice system covering up the corruption.

  16. Not Ukrainian success. .an allied (american) success against Russian missles..apparently Ukraine didn't have a military..your fighting with OUR weapons..OUR money..and OUR intelligence..and..our soldiers..seeing we have boots on the ground that was leaked..

  17. Can't wait for the Republicans to F''' up Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
    Worth waiting for my money if it trashes the MAGA cult of Trump.

  18. With political turmoil, sedition and anti-democratic sentiment at an all time high in the USA. The stoppage of Social Security and Veterans benefits would stop the US economy, yet the military is able to spend billions, in borrowed funds, going around the world to show off the greatness of the USA.

  19. Baseball bat attack, why does right wing media appeal to the mentally ill? I think its a question worth exploring.

  20. Trump was laundering Russia money for years before he ran for president. In 2016 he was working on a Trump tower in Moscow. In 2016 his son Eric admitted they get their money from Russia.

  21. John Durham was out to help Trump from the start, not to find truth.

  22. The FBI had every reason to be suspicious of all the Russian traffic coming coming and going from Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign..
    When it reacted dangerous levels, a FISA Warrant was issued over overwhelming concerns for possible threats to national
    security ..

  23. Not a mention of the FBI corruption or the reason for Bidens economy? Hmmm smells like unbalanced biased left swine am headline’s. The purpose of the media is to inform not manipulate.

  24. This Morning's Top Headlines – May 16

  25. this mornings top◇LIES°

  26. Which would be worse? An FBI that does not investigate since they assume that the info they're receiving is fake or investigate? I think that investigation is better. What if the outcome was different? Better safe than sorry?

  27. The FBI. Should be dissolved , the corruption is obviously evident, The media is a corrupted institution, and like the FBI have been at war against the American people . They have no love for America only it's Distruction.
