I'm heartily sorry for the necessity of this day, but I'm grateful it's finally here.
If the Democrats fail to take Trump down get prepared for the Dark Ages II. Social media has given the uneducated, the malicious and the dumb a voice, and they actually think they can do a better job than the elites and experts they so despise. Who needs facts and expertise, when there's hate, jealousy and anger?
Don the Con's relationship is with Russia, not Ukraine. He could care less about Ukraine, they were only useful to get dirt on Biden.
Thank you, Bill Taylor.
Rachel… the Republicans of the 70's were for law and order and that's why Nixon conceded. The Republicans of today subscribe to the dog-eat-dog theory where Donald Trump is free to do his worst. No point in drawing parallels, are there?
NUTHING BURGER fast food joints are looking 2 hireššš!!
Trump helps Putin by undermining and weakening Ukraine on purpose. Go figure.
I can't wait to see Jim Jordan the motor mouth he is a crazy guy. He won't let anybody speak and has 101 conspiracy theories. He would be at home as a prosecutor in the Nazi show trials.
Maddow is a giant piece of crap.
Do you know how much the people abhor Rachel Maddow? MSNBC is fake news, and Maddow is a giant piece of crap, fake news..
LIAR
Maddow. 3 years of lies and people still listen to her.
Yesterday's Republicans never were as described by today's "Rupublicans" whose act of political self-extinction will ensure no tomorrows.
Vote in 2020 to end the "dark ages" and restore the "age of reason".
There were two people participating in the phone call.
These were not the two.
The Ukrainian's along with the Kurds and countless others, have experienced how "credible" an ally the USA is, under the corrupt, "Orange Sphincter's" Freak Show, wannabe administration !…
tRump sits there crying about the deepstate and the issue is the deepstupid that is his entire administration
Connecting the dots and explaining with crystal clarity is Rachaelās specialty..she is AMAZING! š„³
The corrupt & the fools will always be threatened by people like Rachael because she exposes what one tryās to hide and the other tryās hard to not hear or see..Truth and ALL itās illuminating facts! Trump & his #Complicit GOP are both..Foolish Criminals.!!!š¤
Trump be like: "Lyin' Rachel told that I came in and started acting for myself instead of for the interests of the USA. You know what? When i do something for myself, that means – I do it for America! Because America needs me! Because I am the best president in the history of America! I am a stable genius! So my second term IS IN THE INTERESTS OF THE USA! Understand?!" š
Political scientists are going to be studying this administration for years to come.
I hope that the opening statement of at least one of these completely non-partisan, career State Department officials addresses the irony that the Republican party, who themselves claim some omnipotent sense of patriotism, have spent the last few weeks trying to destroy the reputations of these ACTUAL patriots. And for no other reason than they had the temerity to speak the truth about Donald Trump.
Trump has huge BAGS under his eys NOW ! When this hearing is completed he will have his LUGGAGE packed , some in his HANDS and two hanging under his two EVIL eyes.
OH RATCHEL WHAT WILL THE DEM O RAT TOOLS LIKE YOU TALK ABOUT WHEN THE IMPEACHMENT HOAX IS OVER. SOON EVEN THE DUMMIES WHO BELIEVE YOU MAY FIGURE OUT WHATS REALLY BEEN GOING ON WITH THE REAL TRAITORS EXPOSED…. IMPEACHMENT = DEM O RAT SUICIDE
Love how Rachel break things down. One of the best
As much as I want this traitorous clown held to account, I am afraid that Democratic voters are being potentially really naive about the reality of GOP perfidy and our fundamentally flawed campaign finance laws. This drama will play out, articles of impeachment will be sent to the Senate, the Senate will continue their self serving, traitorous ways and during the whole thing, the tRump 2020 campainge will raise tens and hundreds of millions of dollars towards his re-election from his MAGAot minions.

Trump supporters and the gop are not patriots. They are putting party above the country and the constitution. How you ask? Well aside from it being obvious to a human with eyes and ears, just ask this question:
If EVERY detail, EVERY word, EVERY act happened EXACTLY the same as it has the past 3 years, but it was Obama or Hillary, would they still feel the same? No. They ignore the constitution when it favors their argument. Nobody is putting country first except for these patriots who are testifying under oath because they witnessed abuse of office. Bottom line!
Notice who is NOT willing to testify under oath? Everyone on trumps side. If heās innocent and transparent, letās hear your ātruthā under oath guys. Hmmm
Trump, of course, knows nothing about how the State Department is supposed to work and couldn't care less. The same holds for our government in general, our democracy, our Constitution, our history, our values, you name it. He's a genius, of course, and anything he does is spot-on. It's spot-on, too, with his cult, who is 100% happy with Trump as their hero in publicly proclaiming hate for anyone and anything he wants, and that rings true to his cult and is its sole sustenance. They ask for nothing more. Politically speaking, Trump's cult is about as cheap a "date" as you could find, but it takes a bona fide psychotic to make the relationship work. Trump has no problem with that one.
The Democrats supposedly dont like millions and billionaires but when comes to dishing out big, big money to pay people to lie they dont have a problem
MSNBC investigated stories. Not buying into it
We expect to hear more hearsay and innuendo….I heard it from a guy who talked to a guy who read a WP article is all we have heard and all we will hear….
Another dog and pony show. Repups are going to act like bullies while dems will be the intelligent nerds.
If you follow Trump and support him you are either a racist or just dumbš¤š
What makes the op ed of Bill Taylor so remarkable is that it should not be remarkable at all. His believes and outlook should be the NORMAL convictions of every politician and civil servant of every country, something which is now lost to Trump, Republicans, Trump supporters and right wing media (i.e, Fox News).
The GOP is now a Mafia organization.
Listening on CNN to Mr Santorum, who WAS a Presidential Candidate, one has to be very happy he didn't make it so far. His "defense" on Trump is mindblowing. GOP is dead and is dying even more every day when these people with their twisted minds are in public on display. NO FUTURE for Conservatives as long as such characters are dirtying the landscape in Washington. Happy to see there are still real PROFESSIONALS doing their jobs in silence.
Hi Rachel Anne.ššŗ.
Exceptional reporting, Rachel.ššŗšššššššš.
Keep on digging, Rachel.š.
ššProceed democrats, proceed.šāŗš.
Yes folks Trump's goal was to make all of this madness, corruption and illegalities…NORMAL. America, it's time to get rid of this disastrous President and his administration.
Making impeachment their only job in life since 2016 and still nothing. Pathetic butthurt crybaby liberal do nothing losers, you are worthless.
What is the real reason for this "craziness"? It is too dumb and dangerous for belief.
Dear USA, take a leaf from the book of your British ancestors, and execute your King.
The Don is a Russian asset, who will inevitably he exposed as the treasonous sleaze he is. It'll be interesting to see how the truth-deniers will ultimately defend the indefensible as the truth comes to bear.
The average American doesn't seem to realize that we are only a few miles away from Russia and we basically share a coastline in the Pacific Ocean…
And people not understanding that causes them to misunderstand our issues
In other words, were here to help NOT pursue and carry put the narrow interests of an ignorant, silly, money grubbing, corrupt, wanna be dictator.
bill taylor for president
All these witnesses have is feelings and opinions.
Life long Government employees verse the CORRUPT CHUMP ADMISTRATION AND THE SCUM OF THE EARTH REPUPLI–KKK—ANS !Ā We the American people will not stand behind those who are against our COUNTRY !Ā Can't wait for 2020 to come already !Ā LOCK HIM UP …LOCK tRUMP UP AND ANYONE WHO AIDS him in the cover up !
This insane advocate of Lesbianism now wants you to believe a few tribal traitors are the people who make US Foreign Policy and not the President of the United States. The sad thing is there are now so many weak minded morons in the USA that have zero knowledge of the Government and the Constitution, they believe the vomit emanating from the mouths of trash. Wake up to your enemies America.
Low iq Rachel
where is Rod Rosenstein?
Has the Republican Party become an authoritarian regime ignoring the rule of law, and bowing to their cult leader? We are about to find out.
I think your ready for the barr exam Rachel
Bill Taylor talking about normal and being an expert will work against him with the Trump crowd. They think Trump knows better than any expert in any field. They revel in Trump destroying the normal operating procedure of the government.
Thank you for your service Mr Taylor. šŗšø šŗšø šŗšø
I can understand and appreciate how this could be considered "exciting" by someone as deeply into politics as Rachel, and I don't fault her for feeling that way. For me, it's just depressing. I feel like I'm watching the country I love, the country I gave some of my youth to serving, be shredded and burned. Don't get me wrong: this is not the Democrat Party's fault. They're doing their jobs, and it has to be done. This mess is the fault of every single American, Trump supporter or not. We let it get to this point.
THE CONSTITUTIONAL IMPEACHMENT PROCEDURES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
We're transitioning to a new era in this country where nobody will hold office that the elitist left doesn't approve of.
HELP! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4E9qFiTc6go
Elites are really asking for it right??? Totally amazing how they are putting the targets on their own backs
Understanding our democracy is very important to Americans right now: those who value its freedoms, but support Trumpās ILLEGAL shenanigans are overlooking democratic processes and values – which sets a very dangerous precedent going forward! Root for democracy – not a party during these impeachment proceedings!
So biden on record witholding funding to ukraine until they sack corruption investigator,,,biden boasts the sacking takex place in hours, obhama knew..but to stop corruption and criminal activity is a crime !! Left wing madness running riot in usa
The Republikkklan defense to this will be, " why should our Russian President obey American laws ".
Just think of how many homeless people the money Democratic politicians have wasted over the past three years attacking President Trump!!!!!
The support for Ukraine, from the us government should also be equally supportive to African countries and Haiti. Why do we help Ukraine so much
The one sided Democrat scam is going NOWHERE…
The Liberal Circus has begunš
Taylor: integrity, truthfulness, and what a Patriot looks like . I bet he stands for the anthem, takes his hat off, hand over heart,recites the Pledge and APPRECIATES HIS COUNTRY .
Colin Kaperneck couldn't shine Taylor's shoes .He could learn what uou owe a country that at the least, Colin, feeds, clothes and houses your ego- centered butt .
Forget about the Bad hombre from Mexico, the real dangers are in the WH and the GOP, we donāt need a wall we need Impeach and remove!!!
Hey Russia, can you fax us EVERYTHING YOU HAVE ON TRUMP – we want to make sure he doesn't get pre- elected .
Trumps gonna be bragging that he got unprecedented viewership on the impeachment hearings… wait for it
The Impeacement will commence with Trump unleashing his twitter unhinged fire & fury storm of tweets.
Very often, I come into the comment section, simply to thumbs up every comment made by sane thinking people wherever they may be. Rachel draws them like moths to a light.
It begins šš®šŖāļø
MSM and democrats have been trying everything to remove Trump from office for the last for years now.
Russia!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation but they need military help. Zvelebil missiles will help
Joe Bidenās son is working in Ukraine
Visions calibrated: target Epistein ignored.
Key feature of being wrong with the Russian narrative for many years, gobble it up sheep
Sounds like POTUS didn't care about Ukraine , I wonder why, could be he supports Putin, this we know.
Adam Schiff has committed treason on our country and needs to be tried and convicted and sentenced to death.

Trump 2020
That impeachment inquiry only to destroy President Trump by the DUmbest Criminals opposition, stop this nonsense impeachment, the DEMOCRATS must be to inquire to
impeachment because all of them have the HORRIBLE CRIMINALs Businesses, around the world and to America
The Democrat Freak Show continues … LOL .. fun to watch the DemWITS destroy themselves. I realize Democrats are sexually aroused by socialism and eager to become government chattel. Your Lord and Savior Obama … Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval, Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton cronies, Had an administration full of lobbyists, Had close ties to Wall St., but pretended to support Occupy Wall St., Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout, Nominated a six-time tax cheater to head the government agency that enforces the tax laws, Supported release of convicted mass murderer Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, Illegally put thousands of guns into hands of criminals, Fired Inspector General for discovering that Obama's friend had embezzled government funds, Lied about putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, Lied about letting people keep their health insurance, Lied about the cost of Obamacare, Gave tax dollars to campaign contributors and lobbyists, and falsely claimed the money was for "green energy", Had "off the record" meetings with lobbyists, Had armed SWAT agents raid a law-abiding guitar factory because it was owned by a Republican, Shut down Amish farm, Ignored constitutional requirements for appointees, Supported new bailouts for speculators who caused housing bubble, Spent $205,075 of taxpayer money on a shrubbery which nurseries sell for $16, Spent taxpayer money to see if using cocaine helped rats to enjoy the music of Miles Davis …. the list can go on and on …
Funny how it was Hillary and the DNC that purchased a fake dossier and used it to get the government to spy on a private citizen running for office. The DNC even rigged their own primary and of course the Clinton corruption with their pay for play scheme and email scandal. Yes, the Democrat Party has become a cesspool of corruption. Obama weaponized the DOJ, FBI and IRS to go after his political opponents. The fact is that Barack Obama was the one using intelligence agencies to spy on Americans. Barack Obama was the guy setting up back-channel communication links to the Iranians in order to do the prelude to a nuke deal that allows the Iranians to eventually have nuclear weapons.
In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Bidenās firm inked a $1ābillion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese governmentās Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5ābillion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president.
The Democrats asked the Ukrainians in 2016 to dig up dirt on Trump.
YOU DemWITS were OK with all this and never complained …
So I'm supposed to think differently because of their opinions? Any one can read the call. Why are people being called to put on a show when the call is out there? & where's the whistleblower? This seems like a weak attempt.
Sad that OUR Country has to go thru this; however, the TRUTH needs to come out!!
https://youtu.be/Gwev9uEBhqo
I can't believe that Thom Hartmann is the only one focusing on this issue and media! This is incredible and horrible.
"The most corrupt president in history."
Well said.
one of the most corrupt and useless female non journalist bobble head fake news reader out there.
Maddow is a walking load of feces … pity the useful fools that believe anything she spews … LOL
Never trust a grown man in a bow tie.
Thanks to all the American Hero's like Mr Taylor and the People who do Care for our Nation.
Trump asked for Putin help in 2016 elections in return he would withhold money for support to Ukraine and let Russia invade Ukraine. Trump got greedy did a double whammy by also using that withheld money to solicit help in 2020 elections
More Crimeās to impeach Trump with! Why arenāt the Incumbent Democrats not labeling all of Trumps crimes, and those committed by his comrades?
Barr is far more dangerous to we the people than Trump! Barr should be impeached first!
Crimes; Lying to Congress, and the House, wire fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud, elections fraud, campaign finance fraud, witnesses tampering, witnesses intimidation, money laundering for foreign governments, and the list could, and should go on, and on!
Trumpās family members, and business associates are guilty as well! Republicans in the House, Senate, and the heads of the Republican Party are guilty of numerous crimes! Aspeshaly, the resent intimidation of federal witness in the House impeachment herrings!
āFight the powers, Fight the powers that be! ā¤ļøš¤š
Why the incumbent Democratās wonāt to stop Burnie at all cost, with pretenders to the throne in the Democratic run for President!š¤š¤š¤
It makes sense if one excepts the truth that we have a two corporate party Kleptocracy system of government. The Incumbentās of both parties are supporting a intrenched fascist corporate coup! They only want to give we the people a perception that you are voting for change. They only give us a choice of personalityās not a change in the Kleptocracy to Democratic socialism.
So if you are a Kleptocrat ether Republican or Democrat you donāt really care who is wearing the crown š as long you can keep your snoot in the corporate trough!!!
So it does make sense for you to derail Burnie chance to win! They canāt have someone that will change the system so we the people can feed at the trough!!!š¤ ā¤ļøš¤š
Is it a Coup if the majority of we the people donāt know it has taken place. To me it is a on going Coup even if it has been snow balling since Before WWII.
I donāt know what other name to call it other than a fascist Kleptocracy takeover of the United States, and virtually ever ally we had during WWII. You can see the corporate fascist have taken control in England š“ó §ó ¢ó „ó ®ó §ó æ as well.
Socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor!š¢
We as a species have run out of time with global worming to play games with these fascist! š¢
āFight the powers, Fight the powers that be!ā ā¤ļøš¤š
It's still the US freakshow..greatings from Germany. š
William Taylor looked as demented as Meuller. OMG, this is fabulous. Way to go LEFTIES.
What a joke! total crap kind of like the Russian dossier seems the left has forgot all about that and the media what a bunch of fools!
Thanks for coaching to be a fair audience. We will be taking note tomorrow.
