MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell couldn't understand why Congress remains disinterested in stepping-in to President Donald Trump's potentially illegal activities.
"Well, it was a day of high crimes for the president of the United States," O'Donnell began his opening commentary. "The Congress that adopted Articles of Impeachment in the House Judiciary Committee against President Richard Nixon would have used each of the president's tweets today about Robert Mueller's investigation as a separate article of impeachment against this president. Today, the president of the United States committed a crime in public, on Twitter, a federal crime. An impeachable high crime. The question now is not whether the president is a criminal or whether the president is impeachable."
He went on to ask: "Has America lost its mind? Has America lost its legal mind? Have Donald Trump and Trumpism and fanatical Trump voters so unbalanced the United States of America that the law does no longer apply to the president of the United States? And the answer might be yes."
He noted that the reason it might be "yes" is that there wasn't a peep out of Congress about what Trump did being wrong or felonious. His Twitter responses to witnesses might be "witness tampering" but Congress has no intention in investigating whether it is or not.
