Analysis: Critics say the president is abusing his authority so badly that he could be impeached for actions that having nothing to do with Russia.

for former White House counsel Don McGahn to testify by exercising executive privilege, though Trump told the paper in an interview that he had not"made a final, final decision" to do so.

In recent months, Trump has declared a national emergency so he could re-appropriate money to build a border wall — a move congressional Democrats and several state attorneys general say is an unconstitutional encroachment on Congress' spending authority — and his administration has routinely denied lawmakers' requests for basic information from federal agencies.

In his report to Attorney General William Barr, Mueller identified 10 instances in which Trump's behavior could be viewed as obstruction of justice. While Mueller declined to conclude the president had, in fact, obstructed justice — he said that Justice Department policy precluded him from recommending a prosecution of the president whether or not he believed it was warranted — he also said his report did not exonerate Trump.

Too much corruption and scandal NoTrump2020

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The House has no choice but to move to impeachment hearings. This is the most corrupt, lawless, unethical person who has ever occupied the White House. Enough is enough!

Keep trying meanwhile the rest of us watch with popcorn for IG report take down

DO IT!!!!

Enough stop doubling down on stupid continues

RussSwall ImpeachDonaldTrump

The GOP has circled the wagons around Trump and would not turn against him for anything less than him becoming a black man. He could rape babies and they'd say it was just fake news or ignore it altogether.

Dream on, BSNBC.

Critics are always bitching. That’s what they do.

Just impeach him and let the cards fall where they may. Now is the time before all the stuff hits the fan and shows just how much the Republicans protected the President . That hopefully be there downfall.

Yeah, so where is all the enforcement Laws mean jack if they're not enforced, especially when it comes to those in power.

MAGA

Oh what solid analysis by Critics. Do tell how much you want our government to be overthrown. Y’all said zero when Obama did VERY BAD things

Oh give it up.

How come those w/the power to impeach haven’t drawn those conclusions & acted? Daily, those holding their breath in anticipation are dropping like stones. We’re approaching the point where Trump will say, at a rally of course, “Been President for a term, now you’re complaining?!

AKA, Russia was actually a hoax, so let’s just impeach and fill in the blank as to why later.

By talking about impeachment a lot, Trump has started impeaching himself.

Yawn

President Trump will not be impeached without a Civil War bank on that. The media needs to be regulated.

He does it daily out in the open! Just saying he will force all those people subpoenaed by Congress to refuse to testify is obstruction.

“Critics say”? Just admit it’s you guys talking to yourself. You’re the critics. Just say your opinion.

NYTimes realDonaldTrump JonathanTurley SeanHannity GreggJarrett MariaBartiromo MSNBC = Comcast that lie about fiber-optic but still use the old Coax cable. Cable box stain with 'Ragu' & rat droplet inside delivered to me & replace with the same after washing the sauce off!

NBC News you are the worst of all the outlets alway lying, hating on Trump so jealous of him you’ll stop at nothing tell me JO Critics how is he abusing the system NAME ONE......you can’t because your the one’s that’s telling lies!

Bring on the circus if you must. It might not turn out the way you wish though.

GhostofSimm 'Could be' 'May be' 'Possible proof' Just DO IT!!!

Then impeach

DepratoNancy

Analysis: has nothing to report. They MUST report trash from “sources”. There is NOTHING and you just cannot not being yourself to report the truth. How do you have viewers?

DerangedDonald

If that is so then why don't they 🤔 why isn't time of the essence 🤔 what are they scared of

All I hear is another liberal crying.

THE WHOLE NATION KNOWS that he is TOTALLY UNFIT TO HOLD THE OFFICE & should be REMOVED!in a short time there will either be INSURRECTION or WAR because he CANNOT acquire the power he wants without one or the other!

😂!!

You people have lost your mind 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

This☝️is a prime example of manipulative FakeNews

libertythePD You think Trump is Nixon on roids this week alone...

The EC should re-convene and take another vote.

How far into the released documents including FISA and the indictments forthcoming will you play this game ? Are you involved or just CNN ?

Duhh....If we had any sort of a responsible Republican congress it would have happened long ago...

In your dreams!

They keep hoping. Remember where they set the bar is where we start when a Democrat wins

Don’t have any thing but they have a team working on it 24hrs there working on it in shifts ! Lol 😂 your as bad or worse than CNN our biased news networks or a Joke pathetic on so many levels ! 😂😂😂😂😂

Lol 😂 No Collusion... so we move one to some other made up hoax... Dems: Orangeman Bad Normal People: Why? Dems: Orangeman Bad Normal People: Why? Dems: Orangeman Bad Normal People.... you get the picture...

Why don’t you guys just try to find a candidate and platform that can beat him?

Right, Gomer...let’s see someone tell the judge, although Russian/Collusion thing was a Dem con job leading to the investigation by Mueller, that’s unimportant; how Trump acted to that investigation is unpresidential and deserving of impeachment! Thinking NO Judge is that dumb!

You folks need to get over it. Trump won! Hillary didn't.

UNFIT DJT is just an awful human being! The people who support his lies & racism are just as awful. I pray the people who care teach their kids this is not the way things sholuld be in our country.

The problem with this is those same critics have been calling for impeachment since day 1. Had they not been so hair on fire from day 1. Then maybe reasonable minded people as myself would be willing to hear them out. But 2 years later. Y’all can just go Fuxk yourselves.

I agree!

There is corruption at the highest levels of the Democrat party that leads all the way back to Obama. The leadership of the Democrat party are pulling out all stops to halt any investigation into what transpired!

He will stop at nothing

QUESTION: When does 'could be' become 'has'?

Beyond normal thinking.... it’s scary

NBCNews very scary !

Lmao🤣🤣🤣keep trying !!?

And the critics are.....? None story. Perhaps a fable.

impeach the congress. they are the ones who accomplish nothing. Without Trump nothing gets done.

Trumps a spoiled toddler that hasn't had the rules or anything normal apply to him his entire life why would he think it does now. Don't forget the idiot trump thinks people need an ID to buy cereal.

Based on what the Dems and MSM told us was a sure thing with blatant evidence (Russian collusion) for the past 2 years, I’m not falling for this unsupported BS. Fool me once .... (you know the rest). ImpeachDonadTrump

NO. SHIT.

He's making worse on himself. Ahhhhhhh!

Your analysts are delusional. The people who abused their govt offices were in Obama's FBI, CIA, DOJ, State Dept....

I’m beginning to think I followed a “bot”

There is the Democrat, Republican and Trump parties. He is slowly becoming the dictator he wants to be like the leaders he bows down to. To not recognize this is putting this man above your country. He cares nothing for law & order only his rules and lies to get there.

Keep panicking, MSNBC. QAnon

🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

Enough is enough with letting him doing this shit. Come on congress do you job. We who pay your salaries want you to start the impeachment process.

You mean critics like Waters, Swellhead and Schitthead?

FakeNews EnoughIsEnough JustStop

they don't know what he did for sure but all they know is he needs impeached..lol

Specifically?

Lies

Oh here we go. The big transition

Pres. Trump is only using the authority congress gave to all Presidents.

Mob boss

EwingDoris No shit

trump is BEGINNING to be IMPEACHED !!! ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump ImpeachTrump

Yeah right. Go ahead you idiots. Abuse is not in the constitution. Neither is witch-hunt.

Impeachment is only one tool among many, in order to keep POTUS under pressure! But why? This POTUS seems too independent for Deep State and the only was to control him is to be put him under extreme pressure. At the end of the day, he will say....yes...!!!

I would hope that a blatant abuse of taxpayers money by the millions to his bullshit 'winter whitehouse' and his other faux guided properties would be enough.

lilly20122 That's a no-brainer.

Maybe most Americans can learn something from Russia by the way. They at least support their president who has done worse things then Trump, are returning back to religion while Americans are drifting away, look to preserve their heritage, believe in secure borders

The twisted leftist libs out of nowhere are so worried about Russia when they are the first ones to sell this country down the river. Its just a political ploy on their part to suite their political agenda.

It's called 'Unhinged'. He was a cheating, lying, bad businessman, as potus he's cheating, lying and really sucks as potus, smdh, lmao

The idiots are those who go against their president when he is trying to do what is right and make the country strong and safe yet are silent mice on the real atrocities of the world like Christians and minorities being decimated in Muslim and other regions of the world

What other attacks will the demoralized leftist libs come up with against this president who is trying to do what is right for the country and secure its borders. They are so sick, twisted, and warped.

His corruption knows no bounds.

Just lock him up in the but house, its time

MSNBC you guys do nothing but stoke hate! What is your problem? Do u hate America?

I'm wondering if it's going to be one of Trump's bloody Fridays, or one of the most important days for Democrats in our history, when they take brave steps towards saving our democracy by sending the Sgt at Arms to arrest the traitors for contempt.

Still no impeachment. But America is on verge of disaster. Russian spy Trump has conceived an agreement about American nuclear weapons with mobster Putin. Guess what will be in the end! ImpeachTheMFTraitor ImpeachTrumpNow Impeach45

Critics dream up stuff to criticize about over their morning coffee.

MSNBC obviously needs proof readers. Some adults would also do the trick.

🍁Putin's little 'Cinnamon Bear' thinks the US Congress is like the Duma. *If he gets his way he will likely want his likeness carved into Mt.Rushmore😆

Then they need to stop talking about it and get to it

Pipe dream.

I think he WANTS to be impeached.

You don't say

No kidding. For Christ sake, when is enough, enough? 🤔

On one hand I can understand the House's reluctance because the Senate will never convict him. On the other hand, there has to be SOMETHING they can do to topple this wanna be dictator. Apparently subpoenas don't count for shit. The House and the Judicial branch

I was ready to impeach him the moment the inaugural crowds were so huge. None of his crap makes a lick of sense, he’s dangerous and completely destroying our credibility as a country.

We keep hearing about how many things Trump has done that could lead to his impeachment, yet Congress hasn’t laid down the law (more or less literally speaking)...

The goalposts have moved so far they’re off the pitch

His critics say this?! Wow, Pulitzer Prize is on its way.

Whereby the cover up of the crime reveals the president is a thug. Please buy the media a mirror. Distract, deflect, deny should not obfuscate from truth. You give the benefit of the doubt to a man who has abused it.

This is just a fear tactic by a dying news company. Buzz feed did this last year. MSNBC is about to shut down. They are fighting for air. Sorry guys, time to learn how to work on computers.

Only if and when the Dems have the BALLS to do it😑😐😒

This isn’t true. The true crimes are Obama was spying on Trump before the fake FISA warrant.

Idiot probably has no clue what 'separation of powers' means, especially in America. But then, very few rich super people care so long as they can always find someone in government who's willing to sell out We The People for 30 pieces of silver.😡

The sooner that Trump is gone, the better we will all be. His supporters have become a Cult . That's not good for America.

Hurry up

The 'critics' are so totally FullOfSchiff!

The new spin I suppose hahahahaha... TRUMP2020Landside MAGAFORALL2020

The only gross abuse of power has come from the United States Congress, for which there are many that will face charges, unlike anything we have seen in modern day America.

😂😂😂😂😂

Impeach NOW

Damn you're desperate

2 vetoes in over 2 years, the only thing this tells me is Congress isn't doing their job.

Founding Fathers are like ...'what are you waiting for '

Smart strategy

Does he know nothing about the 3 branches of government and why the framers it them there or does he types a CEO of a company called USA?

It’s almost as if nobody warned the American public he had autocratic tendencies. 🙄

Yep it appears

Adult Translation... Our witch hunt failed but we still want him gone, so we're gonna lie again....

Wow now people are waking up to this real serious dictatorship in the making!

His actions have everything to do with Russia.

King trump really thinks he’s in North Korea!

Me all agree and it’s time for SpeakerPelosi to standup and stop this enemy of a president who thinks Russia is his bed time friend
