Well if you did anything in the last 5 years to support any action by Trump (like go along with the narrative that trashed Hillary Clinton) then your lament about the rule of law is hollow. She and a few others knew what he would do. You didn’t listen. You don’t have the range

soledadobrien Maybe drop your foolish bid and start supporting the Dems It's the only way to get out of this mess The Republican Party is Trumps

GovBillWeld Thank you for your voice of reason BillWeld2020 BillWeld

MalcolmNance Where is the US court of appeals!!!

MaryCarper12 Trump and Barr can't trash the Rule of Law by themselves...the Senate GOP helped them do that! What will be different with another Republican President?

GovBillWeld Good interview, Gov.

If you are so disheartened with the GOP, why are you running for the GOP presidential nomination? Sounds contradictory! Trump 2020

Y r there no Republican debates between Weld & Trump like the many Democratic debates we see? Where are his ads? Weld needs to get in his face to show Republicans there is a sane choice. So many probably don't even know he is running- or actually, crawling towards the nomination.

This man is a bitter man

GovBillWeld . Spoiler alert Lots of russian bots and nonsense below..

soledadobrien He's sick...he's sick...I've been sick since...Joseph McCarthy, Watergate, Iran-Contra, Weapons of Mass Destruction...and well this whole sh*t show...I mean administration....

Clatterbollox rule of law is all sown by the Clatterbollox's in charge,the rule of law is under king of America Clatterbollox king,has spoken & he the Clatterbollox king is the law & need to be removed ASAP.But Clatterbollox's republican keeps king in power.

Formal Gov. Bill Weld, who is running for GOP Presidential, know the President and his attorney general are trashing that entire tradition and with it goes the rule of law. A Republican former Gov can finally admit the truth. America has been waiting for that. Opinion

PressSec Tradition is not law Presidence is old law our laws are living document if News media asked questions relevant to the briefings concerns of visting dignitaries concerns of the fed govt If the media whoshow up actually made it off editors cut then there would be balance

just another opportunist using fakenews to forward his lame 'agenda' (personal agenda)

I’m a democrat and no matter how much I want a dem. to be president just to show bipartisan I would sacrifice and take any republican other than the traitor that’s in the Oval Office right now.

Does he think saying this will get him elected? Seriously?

Talk about a bunch of malarkey! 😁

Msnbc isn’t desperate at all finding people like this to shill for them. It’s very respectable. I guess avenatti isn’t available anymore. Maybe they can bring Matt lauer back to tell us all how deplorable we are for not agreeing with everything they say

Hey Bill, were you concerned when racist gun runner EricHolder said he was Obama's wing man? No you weren't RINO.

Failed irrelevant candidate’s opinion. Haha

Bwahahaha Well that's calling the kettle black The law was trashed by the former U.S intel and the Congressionally Democrats.
