all this from a man who says he has nothing to hide ?

Now all you trumpsters, seriously, ask yourself WHY?

Petty Democrats, focused on obstruction of elected government more than doing their day job getting America’s work done

Russia loves this president

He does understand each one of them could be jailed by Congress for Contempt, right?

BS the Dems are so eager to impeach him if the was half a chance they would have already

And these alone are impeachable offences, and should be pursued. For Congress, to continue, to let this man bully them around, will lead to our Republic's end . Congress must unite, & push back, NOW !

Trump2020

You guys can’t stop saying the word “crisis.” It doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Of course!

BistyCSRoss apparently? what mealy-mouthed euphemism for a human wrote that drivel?

Checks and balances don’t include harassment for the sake of satisfying leftist “experts” who can’t accept the 2016 election results.

All new forms of obstruction.....Trump nee Stone 'walling'

Oh please. Holder was held in contempt of congress for not turning over documents about fast & furious. Which by the way is still to this day working through legal system to obtain. MSM never squawked about this blatant refusal to congress. Congress took no action on contempt.

Don talked to prosecutors for more than 30 hours. Yet Muller report only had a tiny amount written about it. I think it’s time for separation of powers n executive privilege. Soft coup failed deep state leftist! CollusionDelusion

You didn’t seem to mind Obama using executive privilege and all his cronies taking the 5th. Now you fake news, enemy of the people have issues?

Most have no clue why this is so scary for a free country. Trump puts us all in grave danger.

Trump is against the rule of law our recognizing the 3 branches of government He's only one

His basic and core nature is Oppositional Defiant.

Well only wimps and snowflakes will take shit from those that hate you just because, its unbelievable the amount people that read all this BS. You guys are simply hilarious, a president that has a seasoned lawyer advising him you guys just need to step back from your bubble

EricHolder was cited for contempt of Congress and you were silent. Suggest you sit this one out.

How many subpoenas did Obama ignore? Probably dozens and dozens.

It is becoming increasingly moot in its political gravitas with each mention. America has been building to a 'constitutional crisis' since 1/22/17

Only by some?

impeach indict

Why should we respect the law. When trump and the so called top cop Barr doesn’t.

We have been in one since he was put in office.

WE TIED OF TGE DEMOCRATS LETTING THIS FOOL WHITE MAN DO & SAY THESE THINGS! . DEMOCRATS ARE LOSING MY VOTE FOR 20/20! I SEE THEM AS COWARDS! . ESPECIALLY NANCY PELOSI! PELOSI IS AFRAID TO DO HER JOB, PERIOD; IMPEACH THIS CRIMINAL FOOL PRESIDENT!

Mcgahn testified for 30 hrs what more can they ask does he like Starbucks coffee

I’m thinking you don’t even need to be an expert to see it... great reporting there ...

ThTs because we are allowing this behavior

I’d say we are well on our way beyond a constitutional crisis. Some things that have been happening will never be put back in the bottle. They are setting precedents, while our leaders take a careful and woefully slow approach. Horrifying to watch our country’s laws die.

This is all a farce. Mueller did the investigation and it came up empty. “Contempt of Congress” is a joke, just ask EricHolder. Totally meaningless. It would be great if Congress actually worked on passing meaningful legislation instead of throwing out red meat for fundraising.

But he doesn't have to, just like Holder defied subpoenas and nothing happened to him or Obama

No, President Trump is playing and winning the political game. Winning since 2016!

And based on the actions of the Dems during this administration, some can easily see they are not into oversight and checks and balances. These are actions by sour grape Trump haters using their powers to obstruct him and get him out of office. He SHOULD resist.

Wait 'til; 2020 and have the people(!) vote him out(!) of office.

Obama ignored congress. Where were your experts then? Are there even any experts or is this just more made up headlines?

King Trump is as unbearable as his programmed robot Kellyane Who will defend Trump till she chokes on her words & breath leaves her weary body Giuliani is third in line as greatest unbearable people & the trophy goes to Trump

Why isn’t mad msnbc not suspended from Twitter again

For someone who has nothing to hide he sure acts as if he does.

it's not just, 'some experts' seeing this...it's sane people everywhere who love America

Obama administration pleaded the 5th FakeNews

GARBAGE MEDIA MSNBC ALWAYS CRITICIZES TRUMP INSTEAD OF TRYING TO INVESTIGATE ON WHO STARTED THIS RUSSIAN COLLUSION WITCH HUNT. ITS DEMOCRATS THATS WHY THEY DONT CARE.

AudreyGarden When will Congress step in to preserve what’s left of our democracy? This dictator wannabe has got to be stopped.

Now, might the Congress see this as 'Obstruction of Justice?' Or is Trump still 'not worth impeachment?'

He’s trying to overthrow the government and become a dictator

Definitely acts of an innocent person.

Good for him. Fight these bastards

Very interesting that trump thinks that he is more important than the same people propping him up, his supporters!What will happen if any one of his ostrich supporters refuse to respond to this administration’s subpoenas? Your asses will be hauled to jail! Wake up folks!

Where is photos or videos of Trey Gowdy owning the asclown sophmore pathetic ERIC THE CLOWN swalwell ericswalwell is a danger to society in the USA you the procecution must have proof of a crime not the the defendant have proop Eric backwards Calif pervert club swalwell nazi

Democrat activists in government agencies, under Obama's watch, attempted to destroy American democracy.

Its called balance of power. They ask, he says no. Unless the Judicial branch sides with one the scales are still balanced.

Go Donald. I am done with these obstructionist. They should do their job. Legislate !!

These words in itself are an obstruction of justice!! No regard for the law!

Then lock him up

NOPE...investigation complete No Collusion & since we’ve completed Mueller report nothing obstructed. Given Dem con attempt starting the investigation in the 1st place...further investigation proves the process is nothing more than a witch hunt! Equal rules or there are no rules!

Hey, how bout that Roaring economy!!! You know, real news!!

I wonder who the Waco's that support the idiot trump will turn to when he's gone for good?

WAKE UP AMERICA.

What is Mr. Trump afraid that the House will find?

Lieing criminal. Take him down that wormhole he created

Orange dumbfk also doesn't understand why we don't want military actions on American soil...

Duh

Trump defies everything this nation has ever stood for and every principle this nation was founded on.

Obstruction.

Obstruction in its most flagrant form Lock the criminal up

Executive Privilege 2 1/2 years of Investigations,Now there stalking him,and the Fake News Pundits are part of the Corruption

Where did the fisa warrant come from ?

You had your checks and balances with Mueller this is another fishing expedition. When will the house fund the disaster bill for Hurricane Michael victims. Funding delayed three times longer than any other natural disaster in US history

Keep pushing

You don't have to be a legal expert to see this!

Really? What took you so long to come up with that brain spasm?

How is this not obstruction, pure and simple?

What are the republicans wanting for quit protecting a person that’s attacking our constitution

And yet, congress KEEP allowing him to get away with it...w/o any consequences... I wonder if an Enlisted Soldier defied his or her Superior Officer, what would happen to that Soldier...

Trump is anti-Rule of Law and anti-American Democracy.

By some people I assume you mean the liberal/DNC propagandist you have and promote on your shitty network! The only crisis is at the border. Funny that you had no issue with the BHO administration refusing subpoenas from Congress. Once again your hipocracy is showing! KAG20

Trump is digging his obstruction hole deeper and deeper

Trump never had to answer to anyone in his fake empire. No board, No boss, No conscious. Now in the real world, the fake man is attacking all checks and balances of government attempting to sale a Fake Presidency of the people. Fake is fake and Trump Family a bunch of FAKE people

A despot dictator wannabe. No morals, no ethics no regard for the people or our Democracy. Wake up.

They are BS requests and he's within his legal rights. Imagine the progress we could make if they fought for Americans has hard as they are fighting to resist realDonaldTrump pathetic excuse for civil servants. Yet lemmings cheer & vote for them. Perhaps they like wasting $

But,,,,'I'm the most transparent President ever'...😂😂😂

'Defies Congress' is, somehow, code for obstruction of justice.

NAMELESS,FACELESS EXPERTS. THAT'S THE BIGGEST LIE YOU CAN MUSTER. WE DON'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU NAMED AND SEEN ONES, AND SURE ARE NOT BUYING THE TESTIMONY OF SOMEONE NOT KNOWN. NO YOUR EXPERTS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A SCAPEGOAT FOR YOUR LIES.

Has everyone forgotten about Eric Holder being held in contempt? Remember the 'most transparent' 'scandal free' Obama admin?🤣🤣

Seen by many as avoiding oversight, don't need to be an expert.

Defying the checks and balances .. you guys are good

ImpeachmentHearingsNOW

2 or 3 arrest warrants issued to Trump minions for contempt of congress and we'll see a whole different level of crazy from The President In Cheat.

Not just “seen as” I think the law is pretty clear.

Start throwing some trumpers in jail, they're not above the law! Trump next

Trump & his people in the White House have been the most transparent compared to his predecessors. What is frustrating is the frustration being created by the still corrupt DOJ/FBI over releasing records under FOI requests by Judicial Watch.

Lock Him Up.

And the Democrats - under SpeakerPelosi, who thinks she's a rock star - is doing absolutely NOTHING. JACK SHIT. NADA....but issuing more subpoenas. Pathetic.

The Dictator of The 2% Will Be Unstoppable. The 2% Dude's Must Say, Get Out Of Dodge! The New Sheriff Graham Cracker Lindsay is awaiting the fall of the Trump Empire. The 2% and Graham Cracker Lindsay will throw The Dictator under the bus.

No collusion !!! No obstruction !!! No new indictments !!! Enough already !!! House DNC , govern not investigate. Mueller found NOTHING. Do your job and pass laws that’ll help the American worker.

WTH is the gop doing? Nothing. Honestly, one would think that they would want to protect the democracy that employs them. What kind of power does a washed up reality star have on these goons? Really unbelievable

In other words. he's taking the ball and going home. Fine go home! But leave the ball here!

Some experts. NOT Democrat & Media sensationalized BULLSHIT. Trump officials (or ANYONE) HAVE right to 'Reasonable Objection' in answer to subpoenas. JUST as Eric Holder DID and can FOR the SAME reason. Congress HAS TO vote on charging contempt. DON'T expect Dems to get votes.

All he has to do is claim Executive Privilege. Show some integrity MSNBC if you happen to possess any.

'Constitutional crises' 🤣😂😆When will you guys of the FakeNewsMedia give it up already?! No wonder you and your cohorts like CNN are known as the EnemyOfThePeople !

Tax payers paid for a 2 yr investigation by what the left called the man that will take Trump down. Well either/or. Either the left accept Muellers’ report or shred all Mueller doc & refund the taxpayers. But if the house investigates, they can’t use anything from Mueller report

don't need an expert to see that

MSNBC is not an expert

He cannot be trusted as President. He continues to defy the Constitution and needs to be impeached.

Apparently there is nobody who will talk some sense into this maniac.. sooo. What next ?

? How many “Human Shields” will POTUS Capone send to prison in his place? If McGahn is no longer a member of Trump’s Cartel, why can’t he testify in front of Congress. Granted, McGahn would need extra protection if he’s going to tell the truth about the Crime Boss-In-Chief...

_ReaalAmerican_ No shit. It's been happening for the past two years. Dah

Dems and media lie about collusion. Hillary lied under oath, nothing happened. Obama put a spy in the Trump campaign. AOC is stealing her own campaign funds. Omar is spewing antisemitism and inciting violence. No need to keep going

It’s called payback for out of control Democrats. Hey MSNBC we’re not a democracy. Figured you’d dumbasses would know that.

Its plain & simple, what he means is that he is above the law & congress. He adores dictators and acts like one himself.

Radical Islamist Hussein and crook hill the most corrupt in our history! Leaders of the one world order!

Checks and balances aren't something that any branch voluntarily goes along with. They are things that can be forced. If something can't be forced, it's not an actual check and balance.

This is why this out of control administration needs to be prosecuted to the fullest . They think they are all under trumps protection so let’s remove their umbrella and let the storm begin !

Because the republicans and the doj are under his dictatorship

Nobody cares about Trumps Taxes. Treason. We the people have spoken

More obstruction to cover up his part in it. DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald DerangedDonald
