He’s not volunteering to be part of his own dirt-digging process. Enough, is enough. Let’s get to work.

If Prince Rabadash was transparent, honest, and has nothing to be afraid of then why not comply with the requests? The more he delays and deflects the more guilty he looks.

I’m transparent as hell

Hiding! Don the Con is going down!

Putin is the most serious danger against Trump, the US, and against Europe. McFaul needs to advise Trump and the two Parties now.

From a purely and totally politically motivated opposition party controlled congress who has no interest in doing something good for the people. The only reason they exist today is to hate and obstruct our president

Luv it.

Fake news! Democratic media! Everybody knows! Bias! Corrupt ! Fake! Journalism dead...

LOL! Obama folks NEVER did this, right? LOL! Oh the irony of it all.

Looks like playtime is over. Buckle Up

That’s not Melania

Trump ain't no earthly good. ..impeach him...he is the devil. .God will not let him continue in office

Send the martials in.

...and he still in office... Congress is crap. There is no one, obsolutely no one out there to hold him accountable.

Certainly hope so. Trying to work with them doesn’t work.

PatsyResists Where’s MalcolmNance ?

Well good for the President.

Well you know he says he's smarter than everyone! Let's see how long Congress plays this game. Maxine!

I’ve been an MSNBC fan for years but I’m LOSING FAITH! WHY do u cover Trump’s RAVINGS so MUCH! Like when he’s walking out to Marine One! He doesn’t answer questions much. He just SPEWS his SAME B.S. PROPAGANDA EVERY TIME & you AIR IT! Why not TAPE those & air only legit ANSWERS?!

And we still haven't seen Melanoma's green card...

GOOD

MSNBC owes Americans an apology for pushing the fake news Russian Collusion narrative. Shame on their Anti-American rhetoric.

You should put President in quotes!

His basic nature is oppositional. Doesn't have to make sense. Usually doesn't make sense. But any opportunity to fight.

Like they have tied our President up for “2” years?

Can you imagine if one of us did that. I'd be crying for visitors!

Trump, apart from being a very disturbed individual, holds a grouch against our system of laws. He hates all things we hold dearly and proudly. He doesn’t feel that American pride. He’s a sick man

And more to come!!!

He could enact executive power but hasn’t. Enough is enough. What can Nadler and Schiff do beyond 2 years and $35,000,000 that Mueller did!!

Sounds like something the dems do...shoe on other foot now

LOCK HIM UP!!!

He plans to provide them by 2024

And he should.. 2 year investigation, dems don't like Mueller report so they are trying to start another.. already had an appointed special counsel doing this.

Not the sign of an innocent man. More like a crook.

Haha the White Office should think about upgrading the Melania clone.

Find him in contempt !!! Wtf?

That does not look like Melania.

Good for him.

Time for congress to play hard ball with subpoenas & public hearings

Trump needs to be reminded that he works for the people of these United States. Congress, represents the people of each state, and we the people want information.He must comply. There is a power greater than he, The Constitution; It is Supreme Law!

Lock him up 😠

Is it just me....that doesn't look like melania

I could care less about a billionaire’s taxes. Let’s see Congress members

BIRTHERS

Those docs are buried somewhere in the 1.4 million pieces of paper 📝 the SC has collected. Go get em!

...he's testing! ... wants to betray our laws further. We must not allow him to continue to act unlawfully. NoOneIsAboveTheLaw

Gotta love our rule of law! 😂😂🙄

I don’t know about you guys but I’m soooooooo tired of all the drama. This has been a disaster since day one of this Grifter’s Administration. Time to impeach

Classic MediaBias. How many requests did Obama ignore? How many requests were politically motivated and not logical? How many requests were simply absurdly ridiculous? The list goes on with how mainstream media no longer reports unbiased news, they just bash Republicans.

Zero transparency.

Is that a Melania clone?

Nobody in his right mind should put up with the harassment that the Dems are attacking him with. If I told a woman at my local supermarket to sit on a box and spread her legs so I could inspect her, she obviously would slap me and tell me to fuck myself. Trump is that woman.

Fake e

Mainstream media has ignored thousands of requests to eliminate their MediaBias and LiberalHypocrisy.

All because he’s “The Donald” and he doesn’t have to do anything he doesn’t want too... blah

Disgusting

Shows Americans how guilty he is he is hiding truth he is GUILTY

cry baby cry

IndictTrump

Yeah. How many did Obama and Clinton delay? Tell the truth MSNBC. Don’t be biased!

And this is the “shake things up” patriots were looking for? To be an American, one must stand true to Constitution and our Laws. Given this administration does not. How are any the GOP really patriots or citizens? Asking for citizens.

Where is MalcolmNance ?

LawDemandsImpeachment

If you're still complaining about his tax returns, stop. You know as well as everyone else he was never legally required to do so, there is no law. So stop pissing and moaning and try actually reporting the news. You're organization suffers from TDS more than most people..

see game-plan

BREAKING: what did Barrack Obama know and when did he know it ? This is gonna get good ...

Lock him up!!!!! Bust in the Oval Office with the FBI and a lot of boxes and just take it all

Impeachment is inevitable. Why are House Dems not publicly acting? Are you familiar with the term, 'give a man enough rope?' This is exactly what is happening and Trump, who has been obstructing all along is still at it. It's just a matter of time. ImpeachDonaldTrump

Because he doesn’t have to. Do some research.

Isn’t that obstruction? ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow

Good for realDonaldTrump. He knows there’s nothing there so let them dangle like puppets for his own entertainment.

CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS Lock all those MF'ers UP!!!!

The monstrous oaf realDonaldTrump must be removed.

WannabeDictator

What is going on here in this town? I was told it was Daleware, salisbury, Maryland. We are isolated here in this city/State by police officer acting like they are not.

I can't stomach another day, let alone another 4 yrs of this Trump crap, smdh, lmao

POTUS45stinks Law and order president eh? Knowing that Trump is everything opposite we should have known when he kept claiming to be a 'Law & Order president' that he was anything but.

Yes Obstruction.

Melania a complicit expensive $$$ tool.....🤢🤢🤢

Hahaha who gives a shit.

Obama denied a record 77 percent of FOIA requests in 2015. It’s even better to deny the public, than congress. Obama was cuter too.

That would be obstruction POTUS

Good.

Enough is enough already! The most vetted President in history & they found nuth'in! So let's get to work for the American people!!

Obstruction!!!

How many did Obama ignore? Do we know? Did you care back then?

The fake couple of the century

Well gee, duh. I'd ignore them too if I knew nothing would be done about it. We do have laws that are supposed to cause persons to respond. If I was asked to submit my 'documents' and I didn't, well I'd be looking at the world from behind bars.

Nothing to hide.

OverTables Sad grandpa is GUILTY

Nobody can make an ass out of us without our permission. Take the f.....g permission away from this low life semi human. Meliana goes along with trump she not embarrassed republicans don’t care but our country is in the toilet flush trump away and get our Country back

Jail the fucker. He is breaking the law. If one of us commoners did that we would already be in jail. So what's the fricken holdup. Just do it.

And this is shocking why? He hasn’t been held accountable for anything he’s done or is doing. Almost worse are those like Steven Mnuchin who are essentially aiding and abetting. Still nothing done.

Mmmmmmmm sombody’s in contempt!

Good for the president

But hey... realDonaldTrump is the most transparent POTUS ever

These documents are not a priority right now. They may never be.

Heyfakenews, your fakenews!

The justice dept ignored/delayed requests from the previous Rep Congress committees Devon Nunez, Trey Gowdy, Chairman Goodlatte and a host others Why does this become an issue now when it was ignored then Could it be the double standard Only Democrat requests should be honored

And why is this ok? The ordinary citizen would be locked up.

If a man is born ignorant, to parents that are ignorant, in a society that is ignorant, lives a life of ignorance and eventually dies in ignorance, then ignorance is the norm for him.

ConstitutionalCrisis

Why is Fauxlania standing in for the real thing?

So?

TheRuleOfLaw

There was a special council that investigated for two years. GAME OVER. Trump doesn’t have to turn over a single piece of paper! TRUMP2020

And realDonaldTrump should. We voted for him so do it in 2020. Win the election instead. 2 years of BS from Mueller. MSMs and Dimms , now this? Time to move on from HillaryClinton s defeat.

trump has had plenty of help from russians he will lose in 2020 are he will be impeach maybe first in my own opinion. look down at panama trump tower what went on was it a raid why was trump name took off it is this the place to clean money are buy a room in my own opinion on tv

looks like another outing for Melania's body double 🍄

I guess they need to get then a different way!

Obstruction of justice in plain sight.

Self proclaimed Mr Transparency. Fake. Lost by 3 million.

And the reason nothing was done about it? I see it as more obstruction.

'Ignoring congressional committees' was one of the articles of impeachment against Nixon, just fyi.

Good. I hope he is done complying with them.

notComey We have lost our democracy.

Jeez what happened to NotMelania's nose?

“If Trump is re-elected & Republicans retake control of the House, what are the odds that we will really have a functioning democracy after that? I mean, that’s a pretty terrifying idea,” Cooper said. “If you’re not terrified, you’re not paying attention,” Krugman said.'

Nothing compared to prior administration...

Good. Dems have become raging vampires. Dems have also killed the comedian and sucked the joy out of everything.

Democratic committee... there fixed it. 🖕🏻 Democrats.

That's an article for impeachment.

These aren’t the actions of an innocent man

I love this ... 😂 sounds familiar doesn’t it..

I hate to give credence to crazy conspiracy theories but that really does look like FakeMelania.

Good. Why should he put up with any more from these clowns.

Is that the fake Melania

Trump's not defying the Democrats, Or battling Congress. He isn't defying the Constitution. He's far worse. 'It may be closest to the truth to think of Trump as a cosmic Jeffrey Dahmer. When he is through raping America, he will kill her, and eat her.'

further obstruction of justice in plain sight 🤨 ImpeachDonaldTrump

WE APPLAUD HIM--HIS TAXES ARE PRIVATE !!!

Let it go liberal media. It’s over. You lost...again.

This is a complete political hit job on our president and shouldn't be allowed!

Can a federal judge force the release of these documents, and if so, why hasn't that happened? Seems like an alarming amount of our government is based on people willingly obeying the law and demonstrating good faith.

Transparency at its best

Yawn

Many House Democrats wary of trying to impeach Trump after Mueller reportDemocrats renewed consideration of impeaching Pres. Trump after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, with leading progressives and some presidential candidates calling for swift action – as Democratic leaders cautioned restraint. Unless a number of Republicans are on board regarding impeachment forget about it, Trump has the leadership of the GOP tied up in knots, through intimidation and manipulation. Do, or do not. Just stop talking about it!! Even I, who am by no measure a Trump-ite, am sick of hearing about this crap. Either get him for obstruction, emoluments, or something! Or, just Shut the Fuck up because 3 years of this has done nothing but damage our country and 1/ OathofOffice ImpeachmentHearingsNOW for obstruction
