Donny Deutsch Says He Witnessed Trump's Crimes In Real Time

[ffr]

Donny Deutsch said on MSNBC that he witnessed Trump trying to obstruct Michael Cohen’s testimony with threats in real time.

Deutsch said on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House:

I’ll give it to you in real time because I had a front-row seat. I happen to be speaking to Michael after the interview.

Trump was engaging in textbook witness tampering. Trump was worried about how it would look to have his secrets spilled by Cohen in public in front of Congress and the entire country. Trump didn’t want Cohen dominating the news headlines with his testimony for days. Depending on what Cohen said, he could end up fast tracking impeachment.

If Cohen doesn’t testify voluntarily, Democrats will subpoena him. Democrats have already offered to increase security for Cohen and his family. Trump is committing a felony in public, and when the articles of impeachment are drafted, witness tampering needs to be among the charges. - PoliticusUSA

Repeating - Trump is committing a felony in public, and when the articles of impeachment are drafted, witness tampering needs to be among the charges.

1. Trump is committing a felony in public

and an entire party ignores it. With the senate in their hands they know they control whether 45 remains in office or not.

2. Makes me remember dotard's words

He could shoot someone on 5th avenue and no one would do anything

[Mr.Bill]

7. Trump has one of those "Things to do today" pads

sitting on his desk. On every page, number one is pre-printed. It says "Commit a felony."

8. He doesn't need a pad...it's imprinted in his DNA. nt

3. Deutsch needs to avoid small planes!!! n/t

4. There's a broad swath of Americans who have blinders the size of two Trump Walls on

Republicans are petrified to lose Trump's base. They dare not rise up against him. Either Putin has kompromat on them, or they've taken bribes, or worse, or both, and they ain't saying a thing. The Republican Party is certainly potentially regarded as a syndicate, an incredibly vast network of conspirators and co-conspirators, with the Constitution crumpled up in one hand and a gun to our heads in the other. If justice was truly blind and miraculously prevailed, there would be a gaping hole in our government and an overcrowding problem in our country's prisons. Robert Mueller would have rooted out each and every one of these vermin from state to federal and back again, and new laws enacted to prevent this impromptu slide into fascism from ever happening again.

What will reality be?

6. I don't get it. Trump's base is a minority and they are losing independents and former

non-voters by the day. Why is this relative small, minority base of ignorant, hateful, cult members so powerful? There is a much larger block of people out there who can sway the next election away from the Trumpers. I can't understand why this group has such a hold on this nation.

9. I don't get it either...

but I have been saying for 18 months that the reason they let him run wild is because he knows ALL their secrets. Cheney made sure of this while he was in office with his wiretapping and dirt digging. Remember, the current President (whoever he/she is) has COMPLETE access to these secrets. don the Con is the ONE potus that will not hesitate to use those secrets to keep his members in check.

5. CNN Wolf Blitzer asked Dem Rep Jackie Speier about this today.

She said that she hopes Mueller will take up this new charge against tRump since it is ANOTHER felony on the list. Mueller had better add this to the crimes!

10. Why does MSNBC have him on as a commentator given his close involvement with the Trump circle?
