Jill Wine-Banks joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss her new book recounting her experience as the only woman prosecutor during Watergate.
She says Trump is the "more existential threat to democracy than Nixon" because Trump is installing allies after purging those he sees as disloyal to him and Republicans are standing by him even though many found his actions wrong. She also reacts to Weinstein's conviction.
Ohhhh yes! 100%
At least Nixon hired a american
Crazy lunatic on speed, perfect recipe for chaos!
Jeanne_Mann No doubt!!! Nixon was a criminal but this is beyond that!
And she only gets face time at MSDBC.
Absolutely a threat
Bet she’s a democrat contributor!
THIS.
In agreement with you also about that
I think that’s true
YEP!
It’s too bad not all see it as you do.
Agree. I’m 63 and remember Nixon. He was smart, knew the Constitution, and made some good domestic and foreign policy decisions - despite his paranoia and ugly side. Yes, Trump is a much bigger threat.
Who gives a flip about what this lady or MSNBC says. TRUMP HATERS!
The gop is the threat to democracy.
dzengles By a long shot!
No doubt in anyone's mind. Nixon was crooked but not a traitor.
Exactly!
Hon. RBG said the man was a con at outset of his first campaign.
You are more of a threat than TRUMP
Nixon isn’t in the same ballpark as trump.. trump is incredibly more dangerous
Trump is Nixon 2.0
WillDarrell Please listen to the grownups in the room. Thanks Jill for speaking from your vast experience! ❤️
He makes Nixon look like Thomas fefferson
Opinions... assholes.... you can finish the rest.
Crackhead.
Mainstream media needs to place more emphasis on Trump's lies. I believe the number is approaching 17,000.....that's a lot of lying!
I didn't like Nixon. Those were truly tumultuous times. Americans were taking to the streets in protest. He made stupid choices. Yet I never once doubted that he was loyal to these United States. I cannot say the same thing about realDonaldTrump.
The left and socialism are the biggest threat
And what were her thoughts on the Obama Admin spying on Trumps campaign? (Sound of crickets) yeah that’s what I thought...
Dear Jill, stay home and have a glass of wine while watching your favourite soap. No one cares what you think. You are irrelevant.
WideEyedCurious Diff btwn Nixon & Trump is like the diff btwn a blustery day and a cat 5 hurricane. & yes, the U.S. is a democracy: A gov't in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation involving free elections.
Duh
He's more dangerous because he is crazy as a bedbug, and a stupid one at that!
I thought that old record was broken after the last time they used it
Who cares what this woman says ... now I like Trump even more and I'm a former Democrat demsforTrump
Another one similar to Avenotti- an opportunist making money off of President Trump. Sad - immoral. Will say anything to make a buck.
Not sure what country u clowns are in but I'm in the USA and everyone i know in doing pretty dam well and feeling pretty dam safe. KAG!
lol. The hate won’t stop. Poor NBC
Yep. The difference between an amateur and a professional.
Because Jill Wine-Bank says so.
People are agreeing to this, oh my Lord, I see stupid people, oh yeah its a MSNBC story, they would love the spread of coronavirus if it takes out TRUMP . America first TRUMP 2020
Tired of hearing about Nixon and the old days. Let’s figure out how to survive NOW. STOP COMPARING:it’s useless.
No one really cares about your biased liberal opinion on MSNBC, we know what you will say and what the network will say and project.. All the while, Trump continues to gain, the virus we will disappear and the markets will recover, better that ever! YOU LOOSE!
Wouldn't overthrowing a duly elected President be a greater threat to democracy? Democracy spoke very clearly in Nov 2016
It's the end times...
Actually he isn’t. That’s just dumb.
Hilarious! Must suck losing every single thing you try. But at least you keep trying. Might be insane, but you try. So much fun to watch.
She also thought Weinstein was innocent. Come on, get someone with credibility. TDS.
Duh
Who does she donate to.
Those in the DEEP STATE ....would know. It worked on Nixon.... 🙏 By God’s grace 🙏.... it didn’t work on 💥PRESIDENT TRUMP💥
Is there anyone else besides your network that cares what she thinks?
Another entrenched career DC Swamp creature.

yawn boring
And she's in Phoenix today.
Senile much?
It's worse than Watergate.
Been three years of Trump and things just keep getting better. But in loon world, that’s a bad thing.
I've know that since before...
we_dems 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
Where did MSNBC find this hasbeen old relic blowhard? Many Americans think MSNBC CNN NYT are a much bigger established threat to American's freedom than Trump will ever be. Trump leaves office in 2025, but the anti religious anti semite pro abortion MSNBC will still be with us.
No kidding- Nixon resigned - trump wants to stay in office for life as he told his cult in SC.
Wrong it’s the Democratic Party
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost it's savor, wherewith shall it be seasoned? - Jesus Christ, Luke 14.34
And the lord said unto his servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, that none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. - Jesus Christ, Luke 14.23, 24
sound_reasoning that doesn't sound to bad then because Nixon offenses at this point are laughable when you look at what the NSA and the rest of government does on a daily basis.
Please educate us more but I thought he has done well with the economy ,unemployment.
Shilling for a new book, one would suspect.
Who cares what she thinks though. Really.
He is more dangerous to our democracy than Putin is and the GOP Senate fall just behind him.
She's been into too many wine banks.
That actually means.... Nothing.
Crazy
Thank you Jill. So on it.
Nixon had a triple-digit IQ; Trump doesn’t.
Jill must have smoked some strong stuff in the sixties
It's not existential, it's real.
Whose democracy yours? Or a real democracy for the entire nation? A nation without borders, is not a democracy. A people without choice is not a democracy. The powers who wish to control us are not for democracy. We voted. he won, that was democracy. Get over it.
Yawn
TrumpDerangementSyndrome Trump2020NowMoreThanEver
She knows this how?
Agreed. In every possible sense.
FAKE NEWS
Could give a shit what she said l still voting for president Trump for four more years so the liberal can suffer more with pain.
Emphasis on the former, and she was not important she must have been a coffee girl during the Nixon adminstration that was almost 50 years ago.
Does she have a book out? 🙄 You people are so gullible. Trump2020
my wife finished reading your book. she was very impressed and liked it a lot. I'm so behind on my reading stack I just have not got to it yet. sorry.
You people are the most awful people on earth.
Duh. Stating the obvious to get paid these days. I can do this job too.
Good thing we Aren't a Democracy...
Enjoying her new book!
Does anyone take this nonsense seriously?
JillWineBanks ....realDonaldTrump has allied himself with global warming....he is an existential threat to the entire world
Without a doubt
Prediction: Trump goes Truther this week. That is, the Taliban did Not do 9-11. And, the Taliban get a White House Meeting. USA 🇺🇸
Where do you dig these people up?
Jill Winebanks: Badass.
The signs are there .....
Jill is fabulous, if only I was 30 years older, I’d dial Jill for a date. Long walk by the river
No actually the the real true threat to our democracy is hands down the Democratic party and MSM they are becoming worse than China Russia and Cuba
Has this woman ever talked about anything but Nixon in the past 50 years?
Gee, I was going to say Bernie Sanders who wants to bankrupt us!
Republicans believe every word he says that's what makes him so dangerous
Lawrence O'Donnell and Jill Wine-Banks hate decorated Veterans who served our country
hardball I agree with Jill.
My girl
hardball Duh, Nixon resigned. Seems like we might be stuck with this King. We should all brush up on our Russian.
Actually, I think Pelosi, Maxine, Nadler and Schiffty are more of a threat than Trump is. It’s too bad you all and MSDNC continue to bang the same drum... by the way, it needs to ne re-tuned.
Yes, I agree!
hardball It’s not TRUMP that has us in a jam, it’s BARR! Accompanied by MoscowMitch, we are in a choke hold like we should have seen coming!!! 3L3V3NTH USMCSSDD TrueFactsStated MalcolmNance
On the next episode of “The Apprentice” TheApprentice
hardball And there’s doubt you’re a loon.
Is there proof? The existential threat to democracy is being removed. Obama's Russian appeasement campaign led to the hackings.
Yes that’s why we must elect whoever wins the election for President to get Trump out! Enough is Enough! Vote for the Democrats to make the majority of the Senate to get the Bills passed. We need 🗳👍🏻🇺🇸
Then she better hurry up and move to Canada ⬆️
Wheres real_defender to shit up this thread with some nob gobbling?
That was obvious back in 2015 before he was elected.
These people...
Wait until she hears about this guy.
As loathsome as Trump is, Nixon incontrovertibly sabotaged LBJ's peace talks with Hanoi, resulting in the deaths of 3,300,000 million human beings. --Trump's trying, but he's not there yet.
Let me guess, she is a Democrat.
...and she ought to know.
How harsh!
I still can not believe how the Senate Let America Down Something History will remember it will all come out and I wish some of them could be tried in COURT OF LAW !
Donald Trump will not give up the power he has in the White House. He should have been taken out by the Senate. This is the Republicans fault!
I was a young soldier then and voted for him said I wound not do it again and have not ! Always do your home work But I knew what Trump was 'A MORON AND A CROOK AND WANA BE MOBSTER!' But I will say this NIXON WAS A LOT SMARTER THAN TRUMP !
These crazed Socialist Dems, along with Bloomberg are the greatest threats America has ever had.
I remember that time when Nixon went to India and packed a stadium of 110,000. The existential threat is not TO democracy, but to those who threaten our democracy.
We spend a trillion dollars a year on the military to protect other countries like Israel that have free healthcare and education for its citizens. Why are we paying for other countries' healthcare and education?
Amen
Trump is vastly worse than Nixon. Nixon was awful, but Trump has taken awful to a whole new level.
TY, Mr Trump for keeping your promises DESPITE treasonous RadicalLeftDemParty who attempted DeepStateCoup for 1st time in US history. Their media, academia, entertainment, sports minions use RulesForRadicals tactics on public to brainwash. WHEN will they be charged & tried?
Trump is a threat not just to democracy but to the world‼️
One by one they jump on him, but there are rules to democracy, his power will end & then he will be gone! I think it was the TheDemocrats who went after Julian Assange free speech & wanted to murder him to silence him! NBCNews CBSNews realDonaldTrump should pardon Julian
You bet he is...fear him.
Most Americans already knew this, but hey, other Americans wanted a 'businessman' president 😑😑😑😑😑
JillWineBanks is so damn pretty, I'm not sorry for pointing that out first. But we need more of her professional insight in this world first.
Your bias is showing
No question.
Another nobody saying nothing important...🤣
