ABC is a joke!
…sooooo… The media learned nothing from 2016 and are hellbent to repeat it in 2020.
Well shit. The drama is back. The last thing this country needs! Mr. President is just a drama queen to me but that’s my opinion.
This is pathetic at this point..
Flush the toilet!
Dimms are dead and stinking up the house!
What, "unapologetic"? Why should Trump apologize for the fake dossier (paid for by Hillary) which was the basis for Mueller's probe? Why did Mueller hire 19 partisan Democrats as his staffers?
Omg stfu already
You are making the US look like a bunch of dumbasses
Can I prove that the downvotes are from a bunch of trolling closed-minded conservatives? "Hold my beer".
Compare this video featuring trump in negative optics
(286k views, 1.4k upvotes, 2.1k downvotes, 2.2k comments)
to another ABC video showing trump in positive optics
(263k views, 2.7k upvotes, 871 downvotes, 2.7k comments) https://youtu.be/Q6VUVcRl0Pk
Now compare that to a nonpolitical ABC video of similar popularity
(197k views, 1.3k upvotes, 150 downvotes, 1k comments) https://youtu.be/T7m6UNlkMxs
Notice how 1.4k votes shift from downvotes to upvotes depending on the optics of trump. Also notice how 1.2-1.7k (1.45k average) comments are entirely missing from the video that doesn't feature trump. This suggests that there are around 1.4k (at the time of this post) rabid trump fans trolling YouTube saying "I told you so". This doesn't make them the majority, and it doesn't make them correct. They're just the loudest, the "squeakiest wheel".
Constitutional lawyer and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz said the special counsel had a legally flawed approach to investigating alleged obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump. The second volume of the Mueller report is dedicated to the question of whether President Trump obstructed justice. Mueller's team looked at Trump's decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey, then a series of ultimately failed attempts to direct White House staff and administration officials to disrupt the investigation. According to Dershowitz, the president was within his authority to fire the FBI director and would have been justified, under the unified executive theory, to shut down the investigation under Article II, of the constitution of the United States since President Trump is the nations top law enforcement officer.
"The position I've taken from day one is for the president to obstruct justice, he has to go beyond his own permissible constitutional authority and engage in conduct that would be a crime for anyone else, like tampering with witnesses, obstructing a witness, paying witnesses, telling them to lie. None of that is charged against President Trump," Dershowitz said.
In more than 200 pages, the Mueller report details President Trump's actions after firing Comey including "public attacks on the investigation, non-public efforts to control it, and efforts in both public and private to encourage witnesses not to cooperate with the investigation." Mueller concluded that those actions did not meet the threshold of criminality, but the president was also not exonerated of wrongdoing rather than a crime!
Is it 12 open cases still to come?
Hello Ivan!
HE'S SO GAY.
??
No collusion, No obstruction.
Democrats are full of $h!t.
Dems just wasted tax payers money for nothing.
Why do we keep calling conspiracy, “collusion”? He was investigated for conspiracy that wasn’t proved because of obstruction & refusal to comply! Only proves you should never answer cop questions!!!!
In a nutshell it's not about yey Trump!!! It's about f*** the crooked FBI…
more than 4,000 lies since becoming president. That's more than ALL of the news media combined!
He didn't collude with Russia, he did their bidding without being told… such vindication lol
Isn't funny how the pile of c*** in the white house went from no collusion no obstruction and what a great report Mueller made, to, this report is a piece of BS from the felon in chief? Apparently ,Barr could only do so much, in keeping the moron in charge safe from the truth. People have read the report and discovered that Mueller set up a road map on impeaching the a**clown in chief. Now the white house isn't so happy and are back on he warpath. Congress has subpoenaed the unredacted version and the truth will come out. Sorry you republican cry babies, but this is far from over. 16 investigations into our idiot in charge, are still on going. Prison is just around the corner for the mob family in the white house.
There was no crime. All make believe by corrupt Hillary. Why isn’t the start of this manufactured hoax in the report ?
Fake ass news abc
I bet all the Trump haters do the same thing with their timeshare contracts that they got fucked on. "read it again, there must be something we can do".
Trump is exposing how corrupt the USA is. Well done agent orange.
Remember during the coming days, weeks, months and maybe years following the release of the Mueller report by AG William Barr that :
1) The mainstream news media's attacks upon our President are attacks upon us.
2) The Democrat Congress members' interference in our President's ability to do his job is interference in the proper running of our country.
3) And their theatrics are distractions from their own collusions.
ABC is so full of SHIT,,, FAKE NEWS,,,
Yea! This is what's gonna hurt his credibility! Not that his a petty perverted adulterer!
We deserve better than a Deeply Selfish POTUS who only cares about escaping criminal charges for crimes we know he committed, based on facts. Not one word of concern or desire to prevent foreign countries from derailing our elections in the future. Others want to get on w/that essential work,while he's too cowardly to even admit it happened!l BC it'd make him look guilty? We already know that! We deserve better than that con-man! A game, his fans, winning? The President is supposed to help the country — lead it, protect us — not harm us!
Trump is yesterday’s burnt toast.
The media tries to get the young people who don't know this too think he is a criminal stfu media
Obstruction do you know what that is…. that's le a cop says lay on the ground and you said no….
IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH!!!!! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
Broing
Long term play will ruin the Democratic Party.
By trying to ruin one mans reputation (Trump) they in turn ruin the entire Democratic Party’s reputation.
It’s a win for republicans.
When your political opponent is attempting to commit suicide, get the hell out of their way. Let them try to impeach.
REAL PODESTA'S EMAIL HILLARY PIED PIPER & DOSSIER hack by Seth Rich and published by Wikileaks.
Russian Contacts were all provided by the DNC, FBI, CIA, fact
REVEALING ISNT A CRIME
DID TRUMP FIRE MUELLER-NO HE DIDNT now lets speculate on it. MUELLER WAS NEVER FIRED!
WHO would not be pissed someone wrongly called you a criminal. This story will be quite humorous in the next couple of months.
THE FAKE NEWS CALLING THE PRESIDENT FAKE NEWS give a specif example.
Why should he apologize THE DEMOCRATS lied they investigated him and their LIES DID NOT HOLD UP
So basically we've FINALLY discovered what we knew all along, that Trump is more of a man cunt than we thought all along! 😆
Damage to POTUS credibility? What credibility?! The facts are clear, provided by people interviewed under pain of jail. It is upsetting the campaign was found to lack intent ("belief to knowingly break the law") whereas the rest of us are barred from a defense of Ignorance of the Law. Congress needs to prosecute these crimes for true Justice for All.
WATCH BEN SHAPIRO IF YOU WANT HONEST REAL NEWS!!!!
Not a defiant. You see a confident man that knows you are all about fake news!
You Right wing trolls and Russian troll bots are wasting your time. No one gives a damn when obstruction is a crime that is impeachable even though there was no evidence of collusion. Have fun circle jerking.
lock him up! lock him up! lock him up! lock him up!
This is FAKE NEWS
