AriMelber MSNBC keep making shit up not news

AriMelber Well if they can't then can they take the 5th I say no

AriMelber D ? Is will he i doubt it

putinsclown AriMelber Yes.

AriMelber He better be or we will have a King!

AriMelber Do it

putinsclown AriMelber NOBODY SHOULD BE ABOVE THE LAW! If anything a sitting POTUS should be the example not the exception!

AriMelber We hope there is a God looking down. In the end Evil does not win

AriMelber If there is truly justice for all, then of course. That should Triumph over any other opinion or policy.

AriMelber Woulda, coulda, shoulda, might, maybe, possibly how many ways can this network justify anything you say or print

AriMelber If a president can't be indicted it kind of throws that whole 'no one is above the law' thing right out the window doesn't it. And let's face it no one ever counted on this much criminality from one fuking president.

AriMelber Why not ?nothing special about him committed the crime!

AriMelber Richard Nixon... Donald Trump, two of a kind

AriMelber

AriMelber HELL YES..if the President is a Criminal..and its Democracy...the YES HELL YES. or are we MONARCHY? DICTATORSHIP? some very stupid rules and laws that are contrary to Democracy id say.

AriMelber Please lets test it

AriMelber Please !!!

AriMelber Its a pointless question. More to the point: what will happen will Trump, Jr. and J. Kushner are indicted? Who will get fired and will Sen Reps just cluck their collective tongues?

AriMelber You won't have to indict a sitting president. Trump obtained the office by fraudulent means. He's a sitting fraud.

AriMelber No one in America is above the law & that includes the potus. The entire GOP claim that a potus can't be indicted is from a 1973 opinion written by GOP, DOJ official, concerned about Agnew becoming potus, absolutely no Constitutional authority at all, just GOP BS & fraud.

AriMelber Dear Ari.....theoretically speaking, what could America do if Trump declared war on California and began bombing the whole state? What would be the steps? Are there any legal steps at all?

AriMelber Indict him and find out .......

AriMelber Nope thanks to Bill Clinton. 👏👏👏

AriMelber Am I being naive? What's the argument about testing this question in court? If we lose the legal question, does Trump grow bigger (like Ursula in the Little Mermaid) or isn't impeachment still an option after that?

AriMelber I say yes. To indulge the contrary, what if Trump came out of the Oval Office with a machine gun and shot 29 demonstrators who were outside the White House fence? Are you telling me that we have to wait until he is out of office to indict him? Peddle that myth elsewhere.

AriMelber I hope so

AriMelber It. Would. Be. Glorious.

AriMelber Just in... Jussie Smollett going to testify in front of Congressional Oversight Committee on How not to stage a hoax. 🤣😂🤣

AriMelber So far Mueller has not indicted anyone for conspiring with the Russians. Indicting Trump would be a leap

AriMelber Why don’t you focus instead on the illegalcoup going on in venezuela?

AriMelber I thought NO ONE was above the law?

AriMelber I’ve said it before, & I’ll keep saying it, the INDICTMENT that will end the reign of Trump, is IVANKA’s. FBI Mueller & SDNYnews should drop a double whammy on her at once. She is Trump’s Achilles heel, she is a vulnerability, & she should be the focus NOW. maddow

AriMelber Not by the executive branch. Since while he is the President, he is the Executive.

AriMelber Why is everybody and MSNBC ignoring Rachel's great analysis of the origin of 'Pres. cannot be indicted while in office'which was tailored to specific case and not to be 'mini' constitution? Nobody is above the law.

AriMelber YES.

AriMelber There's always a first time!

AriMelber

AriMelber Lmao 😂

AriMelber Yes please. And hurry! Stop pontificating and take action. Our constitution has suffered enough abuse already.

AriMelber Yes

AriMelber Yes!!After Barr is fired!!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

AriMelber

AriMelber Yes! The argument against it is stupid. We have the 25th Amendment that can be used to temporarily remove the President from his role so that he can be tried if he has been charged with a crime.

AriMelber The other question is 'Would the Justice Department indict a sitting President?'

AriMelber They say indicting a sitting president takes him away from his presidential duties. What would they be, nasty tweeting, watching Fox and friends or playing golf with his new golf contraption?

AriMelber Yes he can, nobody not even the flaming cheeto is above the law.

AriMelber IllegitimatebastardfakePOTUS is a Criminal. FACT. Indict him. Try him. Convict him. Sentence him. NO ONE is above the law.

AriMelber ari failed as a lawyer how can he answer a legal question ?

AriMelber 2 years and there is ZERO on the president so the left has to move on!

AriMelber Remember when Stormy was gonna get him impeached?

AriMelber No but you can dream

AriMelber There nothing in the constitution saying a sitting president can't be indicted so let's do it and get rid of the dumass

BarneysNose AriMelber Why are we even having to ask this? A president is just a guy with that job...not a freaking god.

AriMelber You first have to commit a crime to be indicted. That did not happen. Let’s expose what this really is, a witch hunt. So far, no witches.

AriMelber Let's try it and see.

AriMelber Would Republicans indict a sitting president? Would they even question it? Would the Media even bring it up? Answer: No! They would simply indict and that would be the end of it.

AriMelber YES.

AriMelber Can the president be indicted for fake hoaxes from msnbconspiracy tv. No...If the president murders someone of course they can be indicted. But for complete horseshit, no

AriMelber Yes!! Next question!!

AriMelber SOS America stop the Russian show,

BarneysNose AriMelber The question should not begin with “Can”, but instead begin with “why would” and then move forward from there guided by the rule of law not the rule of white patriarchs.

AriMelber Yes, if the crime he/she's alleged to have committed not only predates them being president but also contributed to it.

AriMelber YES

AriMelber For What? Keep salivating

AriMelber Just like Bill!

AriMelber Morning_Joe JoeNBC morningmika mikebarnicle RahmEmanuel Rahm...this is different than our planet has ever faced Thus what our country faces...via Climate Change We have like 7.5billion now...India/China industries & rest of world growing like crazy We have social media...

AriMelber The plain and simple answer is yes. There is nowhere in the Constitution that says he cannot

AriMelber Enemy of America, MSNBC.

AriMelber I hope so, how is it fair for this liar 🤥 to get away with all the horrible stuff he does. He’s not an honorable man. I don’t care if the report says anything or not I just know what I see and hear from his actions and mouth.

AriMelber If there was ANY proof of collusion the Democrats would have impeached Trump immediately....no question. Mueller is funded by DNC.

AriMelber If he runs drug and human trafficking?

AriMelber The author of those policies did not believe that the pres. could not be indicted. He thinks that policy should be revisited. Do do I. No one is above the law

AriMelber Foreplay to Indictment? Come on, already!

AriMelber If not laws must be changed

AriMelber Yes. And no. Should trigger impeachment and trial first. Constitution, and so on. Same reason a King or Queen in England is unindictable sort of. Would take a big smackdown from Parliament, et al. We are built off of the framework of English 'constitutional' and 'common' law.

AriMelber Democrats can LIE UNDER OATH to CONGRESS includes, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Clapper, Brennen, Steele, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Ohr (Mr. and Mrs.), Rice, and Yates but they get a pass because...

AriMelber

AriMelber The US sure needs to find out, indict the Traitor in the oval office.

AriMelber More proof the media is against Trump and are hoping this to happen. The Media is enemy of the people

AriMelber MS13NBC trying to create a story, lol

AriMelber 'Do your job, get the facts' NEXT ON Morning_Joe speculation on the Mueller report, speculation on Cohen testimony, speculation on who might run in 2020, speculation on Vietnam summit, and our opinions on everything but we have no actual news

AriMelber If a sitting president cannot be indicted, that is the same as saying he is above the law.

AriMelber No my constitution is clear. Impeachment yes its called due process.

AriMelber Yes, no one is above the law.

AriMelber The only reason this question is even asked is because the real question is, “can the President be defeated?”

AriMelber No.

AriMelber Why not. Is he above the law. Suppose he murdered someone? Would he get away with it? Don't think so. If he committed a conspiracy with a foreign country that put our country in jeopardy, will he get away with it? He shouldn't.

AriMelber Our world as well as our country needs for trump to be indicted and removed!!!

Kathryn47461217 AriMelber Of course the sitting President can be indicted! He’s not a king. What is the point of checks and balances if they can’t/won’t be implemented? NobodyIsAboveTheLaw

AriMelber “Could” but wont....stirring the pot as usual.

AriMelber HOLD THE DATE! This year, on November 28th, I’m going to hold a very special celebration where people will gather with family and friends and eat turkey and stuffing and even cranberry sauce. I’m going to call it “The Giving of Thanks.” You’re welcome.

AriMelber Indict the vice first. Then watch trump lose his shit.

AriMelber For what? Why speculate on this nonsense?

AriMelber Absolutely. There, it is settled. Get out the handcuffs.

AriMelber Is there a way to hold the media accountabkefor lying to the American public for 2 years. CNN . You lies about trump/Russia collusion influenced the midterms. You had no facts. Go back to journalism school Google washingtonpost nytimes HuffPost YahooNews facebook

AriMelber If you’re asking me, then yes.

AriMelber We're still looking for the crime in which he should be indicted. Until we find that, why are we asking the question? Oh ya, to further speculate on a false narrative to feed your diminishing, brainwashed audience.

AriMelber Insane reporting

AriMelber Your left will be so disappointed with the results

AriMelber Of course a sitting president can be indicted with sufficient evidence of crimes of a certain nature and it's worth repeating.

AriMelber 'could' You people remain butthurt since you know you were entitled to win in 2016.

AriMelber Definitely not for a made up story to cover for very real crimes committed by the people after him. Just saying.

AriMelber I’m pretty sure there has to be crime first.

AriMelber This was / is a Constitutional Crisis. The prosecutor is acting within his authority. I have no idea what is going on... Checks and Balances. DTS

AriMelber Can mueller be charged in the uranium one scandal when his fake investigation is over?

AriMelber Let's give it a shot.

AriMelber If not - couldn't someone commit murder or treason as long as they won the election?

AriMelber Yes. NoOneIsAboveTheLaw It’s in the constitution. Full stop.

AriMelber If he cannot, then I think we should defenately have him stand up.

AriMelber Can people in the government be indicted for a coup against a sitting president ?

AriMelber Instead of attacking Trump they should be supporting him. That would benefit American and our citizens more if they did.

AriMelber

AriMelber Oh just INDICT president oaf and be done with it!

AriMelber Bwahahaha! Wishful thinking libs! No collusion and Trump will win easily in 2020. MAGA!

AriMelber If anyone is factually proven to sell out America, 'Hang em High' !

AriMelber If Mueller has anything at all on Trump, he wouldn’t have investigated for 2 years

AriMelber Not this one.

AriMelber Isn’t it time to revisit this?

AriMelber Because he is guilty?

AriMelber cut the crap

AriMelber Yes and definitely he cheated to get there and is committing treason

AriMelber It is not illegal to be the best president ever,,,, keep going sir 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻

AriMelber “Could”

AriMelber Mueller should be arrested for his part in this attempted coup

AriMelber Historically, nothing has prepared us for this erratic presidency. We are redefining presidential norms daily. Naive to say he cannot be indicted nor impeached. So far, we don't know what we don't know. This is new territory. Legislative and judiciary decisions imminent.

Trump Judge's anti-abortion ruling boomerangs on GOP Sen. CollinsIn a special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent, Ari Melber, examines President Trump’s impact on the courts and how Republican Senator Susan Collins has been a key ally for Trump’s Supreme Court picks. Melber breaks down how Senator Collins claims to be a “pro-choice moderate” who supports Roe vs. Wade, but has helped ensure Trump was able to put Brett Kavanaugh, a Justice who was widely expected to be a vote against abortion and abortion access, on the Supreme Court. In a recent Supreme Court ruling, Kavanaugh was one of four Justices who voted to limit a key abortion protection. Melber notes that despite her pro-choice public position, Senator Collins has voted to confirm three of these Justices for the Supreme Court. Can't trust anyone in the GOP. Susan Collins is a fraud. She's on her way out.

Protests erupt over Trump’s National Emergency 'power grab'Protesters rally across the country to oppose Trump’s declaration of a National Emergency, something they describe as a power grab at the Southern border. Ari Melber breaks down how new legal challenges to Trump’s National Emergency are emerging from the ACLU and other groups and that Trump’s immigration guru, Stephen Miller, appears to be struggling to find any precedent for Trump’s latest move to fund a border wall. Member of Congress, Jan Schakowsky, tells Ari Melber that Congress may have to consider clarifying the National Emergencies Act to ensure “the President can’t step in and overturn a decision of the Congress”. Trump is all about pulling power grabs at the southern border. We’ve all heard the Access Hollywood tape. Bunch of cry babies You forgot the word “Paid” in front of protestors.
