President has ordered all of his subordinates, the whole executive branch, to stonewall and not participate in the election. It seems strange to say that since the president is blocking this, more evidence is therefore needed. Frankly the president s systematic refusal to engage with congress itself threatens the structure of the government, because if you cant impeach the president and you cant indict him, hes above the law.

Haha, boom getting settled. Rewarded. Learn more at the explorer card dot com. And get. Rewarded this is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. On the day nancy pelosi announced the house will go ahead with articles of impeachment against donald trump, she answered question after question from the audience at our cnn town hall doubling down saying the president violated the constitution and his oath of office, saying that President Trump has undermined the integrity of our electoral process and that if he is not stopped, hell continue to do so. Pelosi said by moving forward with articles of impeachment, congress is honoring its oath to defend the constitution. Lets talk now. There they are right in front of us. It was very interesting. It was all about the constitution. Shes saying its not about the election. Gloria borger is here, mark henderson, north kor henderson. I thought it was fascinating. She said she would have no regrets that the exit polls showed it helped to reelect donald trump if that did happen. She did say to one of the questioners lets not even fathom that that does happen. But she didnt want to get ahead of today, did she . No, she didnt. And jake tapper tried to get her to say whether she personally believes the house should impeach trump. And we know from what she says that thats probably what she believes. But she stopped short of doing that. And i think thats because she understands this moment. She has said that she is not counting votes among democrats in the house. Shes not what we call whipping this vote. Shes letting people vote their conscience. And she is saying, look, this isnt about politics. Its about the constitution. We heard a lot of talk tonight about the founding fathers, about their vision. And as she said, she passed a threshold today when she said, okay, we need to write these articles of impeachment. But when jake tried to sort of figure out what might be in those articles, and we have a general idea from listening to the judiciary committee, of course, she wouldnt give that away either. She said, you know, its kind of a group effort to compose these articles. So, she doesnt want to get ahead of her caucus, but we sure know what direction theyre headed in. Very serious tone. Oh, very. Very serious tone this evening. Mark preston, i just want to play this moment. I want you to react to it. Its from tonights town hall, nancy pelosi reacting to the president saying that she had a nervous fit this morning. Watch this. The president is a master at projecting. When you call someone else nervous, hes the nervous one. When he suspects somebodys not praying, hes probably not praying. But i do pray for him because he is the president of the United States and i pray god will open his heart to meeting the needs of people in our country. She did go on to she went on to say what her prayers were for the president , she prayed for his family, his safety, his health. Is she wrong, mark . I dont think shes wrong at all. She even went on to say even more reason so to pray for him because he doesnt believe her, meaning that shes taking pity on him. Look, nancy pelosi was put into a very interesting position today where she had to go out and defend her faith. Often you dont see democrats being put into that position, but she chose to bring that up and to try to put this into context to try to put everything into context and show that this isnt personal. When you tie that in to how she answered today about how methodically the house is going to go through these impeachment articles, how much effort has gone into it that this is not a rush to judgment, that she is somebody whos been saying that we need to slow down a little bit, lets make sure we get this right, i think that we heard that not only in her very, you know, answers that had to deal with the impeachment. But she also answered that way when she was talking about how she was feeling inside. Whether or not people believe that, ill leave that up to them. But it was certainly an interesting way to answer that question. And interesting back and forth between two very powerful leaders at this time in our history. Yeah. As gloria mentioned, she didnt want to talk about specific articles of impeachment tonight. How high are the states for democrats as they consider how broad or how narrow to make those articles . Yeah, i mean thats been a big question, right . Particularly if you are one of these democrats in these districts where trump won in 2016, socalled front line districts, i think there are 43 of them in the house. Those folks are some of the ones that tip the balance, right . There were a lot of democrats who wanted trump to be impeached, for the house to move forward with articles of impeachment and investigation right after the Mueller Report, right after the mueller testimony. But ukraine made it clear, right . That was the difference maker for not only nancy pelosi but a lot of those front line democrats and obviously adam schiff. But this is something that will have to be wrestling with. Do they bring in the Mueller Report . Do they bring in any of those the obstruction instances in the Mueller Report, part two, 10 or 11 instances of the president interfering, firing james comey, maybe wanting to fire mueller as well. So, thats a big question. What was interesting here is, you know, if you think about the clinton impeachment, it very much was sort of Newt Gingrich versus bill clinton. And here you have a sense that nancy pelosi doesnt want to make this about herself, right . She says the times have found us. That last question the woman asked about impeachment, this is a historic day, what do you want to be remembered for . She said she wanted to be remembered for other things like the Affordable Care act. So, this is something, its up to her caucus. Adam schiff is obviously important figure here. Nadler has a role in this as well. So, she obviously wants to talk about other things that her caucus is doing like those pieces of legislation, she said 400 on the senate at this point on Mitch Mcconnells desk. It seems like that phone call was a turning point for a lot of people. You know, gloria, how much of this process is being personally driven by the speaker . I would imagine a lot of it, right . Because she is the leader. Is she the hidden hand behind this process . I think nancy pelosi is somebody who listens to people. And remember i was just thinking about this as i was watching the town hall. Remember just over a year ago people were saying nancy pelosi shouldnt be speaker. She couldnt be speaker. Why would we have her as speaker. Shes too divisive. Shes old, shes divisive, shes this, shes not in touch with the younger generation, et cetera, et cetera. And then we have these iterations of her meeting with aoc and now theyre friends, right . We thought they would never get along. Nancy pelosi was kind of made for this in a funny way. And she has the gravity and she is a hidden hand in a way that allows people to come to a decision when theyre together with her. When the moderates in the house that nia was talking about and said this ukraine thing crosses the line, nancy pelosi announced, i believe it was within a day or so yeah. That they had to pursue this. Yeah. And so i think she leads by listening and following. Im not going to say women do that. But following her caucus wait, what are you saying, gloria . Nothing. And i think you hear that in the way she has risen to the gravity of the moment. Yeah. I think mark, shes saying i dont need directions. I know where im going. You know, don, you know whats interesting about nancy pelosi and to pick up what glorias saying right now, if you go back to day one, she was never pushing for impeachment. She was always the one, the governor, she was the one slowing it down a little bit. Lets be very methodical about it. She thought the best way to do it initially was to vote him out of office. Exactly. Well, understandably so because where she is on the political spectrum. But when it comes to the governing of the house and understanding what the political ramifications are for everybody in her caucus, all the democrats, whether they be liberal or centrists or even more conservative democrats, the bottom line is she is held together a caucus that was very much divided. And as they head into this impeachment vote, theyre going to be united. And that really does Say Something about her leadership through this. Thank you all the comment ive got to go. About this isnt going to be about impeachment was fascinating as well. Thank you. I appreciate it. President trump starting his day calling on democrats to impeach fast and nancy pelosi is giving him what he wants next. Have you ever worked with dr. Francis . Oh yeah, hes ok. Just ok . Guess who just got reinstated well, not officially. Nervous . Yeah. Yeah me too. Dont worry about it, well figure it out. Ill see ya in there just ok is not ok.

And when they save, you save. The only way to know how much is to get a quote. Chances are youll save time, paperwork, and yes, dollars. When insurance is affordable, its surprisingly painless. So the president tweeting this morning, of course tweeting, if youre going to impeach me, do it now, fast. Hey, the man wants what he wants, right . One hour after that House Speaker nancy pelosi says this. Today i am asking our chairmen to proceed with articles of impeachment. How many times do i have to say it . Be careful what you wish for. And there is this dispatch from the alternative or alternate universe courtesy of Kellyanne Conway who had an interesting rationalization for the president s tweet. Maybe hes calling their bluff. Well, if he was, that sure backfired. And the president who started his day calling for congress to impeach him fast was back to the same old song, calling the whole thing a hoax. Its a hoax. Its a hoax. Its a big fat hoax. That material is just so, so tired. Hes going to need more of a defense than that. Once we see exactly what those articles of impeachment will be and start to get answers to another big question looming over all of this, what happens if impeachment moves to the senate . Here is the thing. The senate gets to make the rules. And a lot could change before the trial actually gets under way. But there are some things that we do know. The house votes on managers who act as prosecutors and present evidence in the senate trial. The chief justice of the Supreme Court, john roberts, would be sworn in to preside over everything and would then swear in senators who would then serve as jurors. Which raises a really interesting question. Will senators be allowed to speak . As the rules stand right now, and the rules could be changed, the answer is no. They can submit questions, but like jurors in any courtroom, they cannot speak. And lets face it, there are a lot of senators who love to speak. Senators will not be allowed to speak which should be good therapy for a number of them. Another big question. Will witnesses testify in person on the senate floor . Could republicans call hunter biden . Could they call the whistleblower . One republican telling cnn phil mattingly, quote, this could go off the rails very quickly. Democrats saying theres every chance someone rolls a hand grenade into the center of this process. That sounds promising. And then theres the question of when exactly the trial will take place. Nothing is set in stone. But senators are assuming it will start the first week in january and theyre predicting it could take anywhere from three to six weeks, which is probably why the 2020 Senate Calendar leaves out the month of january. Senate rules say they must be in session six days a week during the trial, which sure throws a Monkey Wrench into the campaign plans of senators vying to run against the president. So, lets get some perspective on all this. John dean is here. John, know this all too well, this must be deja vu for you. Thank you for joining us. You believe that House Speaker nancy pelosi should have the articles drawn up but not send them to the senate. Can you explain why you why are you saying that . I tweeted that because its one of the thoughts i had. Theres a big push to get this done quickly. Theres also a debate going on between schumer and Mitch Mcconnell about what the rules should be. Theyve been unable to reach agreement. It looks like Mitch Mcconnell is inclined to just do it his way and not let schumer have any play at all. Well, i think nancy pelosi has some real leverage in this. She doesnt have to send articles of impeachment to the senate. What happens, don, after theres a vote on the articles, they adopt a resolution where they select managers and then they decide when theyre going to send the managers over to the senate. So, theres a flexibility in the process where she could say listen, lets just hold these articles here until the senate gets its act together. And that could last right through the campaign as far as her powers. Its not unlike what Mitch Mcconnell did when he was given a Supreme Court nomination and he didnt want to have a hearing. You mentioned that. You talked about merit garlands skoe tus nomination. How is it different . Well, the process has flexibility built into it. Some can see it as an abuse of the process. Some can see it as use of the process. It all comes from your point of view. But i think that we shouldnt forget that if nancy pelosi decides she wants to exercise some leverage in this, shes got it. And she can tell the senate get your act together, do it fairly, or im going to sit on these through the campaign. Interesting. How do you think republicans would react to that if she did that . They would have a tizzy. They would they would a tizzy. They would say your case is so weak you cant dare bring it to the senate. They would make all kinds of claims. But the problem is those would be hanging over a lot of senators who are running for reelection. Seats up for grabs in 2020. And also be hanging over the president. What would be the impact of the people, the senators whose seats are up for grabs in 2020 . Well, i think it could have a positive i think it could be trouble for them if they dont want to vote for impeachment. A lot of people when they look at whats in those articles or what will be in those articles, theyre going to be horrified and they havent really focused on this. If you bring these down to the state level and they become state campaign issues, those senators are going to vote right. John dean, appreciate your time. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

As House Democrats move forward with articles of impeachment, the ukrainian lawmaker posting pictures, thats right, posting pictures on facebook today, saying he met with the president s personal lawyer in kiev. Lets discuss now. Anthony scaramucci is here. Good to be here for the holidays. Good to see you. What the hell is going on . This is a lawmaker who has pushed debunked conspiracy thooer reez theories about ukraine e deks meddling and bidens, went to the kgb school for spies. What are they thinking here . There is only one play here for President Trump, to use the whole Russia Disinformation Campaign to prop him up and have him maintain power. I think what you just saw was a real patriot for an hour on your network who basically described how it happened and once the articles of impeachment are posted up, don, i believe that those republican senators, i do believe this, many of them will look at that and say, wait a minute, i dont want to be known forever in my familys legacy, that i backed this traitor who disavowed the american constitution, i just dont want to be known for that. I think her game theory of what is about to happen is going to eventually unfold, he will leave office. He will either resign from office or say hes not running for reelection. The mayor, im good friends with him, i wish the mayor well, they can do that, they can do the whataboutism, which the soviet union did for many years trying to keep the soviet union together. But its coming down. You saw over the last week, the president is literally the most hated person in the civilization. Or laughed at. Yeah. Hes ridiculed. Hes hated across the globe. He got maybe 25 to 35 of americans who support him and many of them hate him. Sources are telling cnn that the attorney general bill barrs handpicked prosecutor told the doj Inspector General there is no evidence that u. S. Intelligence agencies planted spies in the trump campaign. That goes against the president and barr himself. I want you to listen to what barr said in april. Watch this. So youre not suggesting, though, that spying occurred . I dont well, uh, i guess you could i think theres spying did occur. What does it say that barrs own agency is going against him, the Inspector General, and then so i dont know him. But it looks like hes making a decision that he is the last stand, these are the last people, the firewall of what ultimately is trumps america. And so hes standing there with that level of orthodoxy and hes willing to say and do whatever he thinks is necessary to curve the rule of law to allow that to persist. But i think what youre learning about our country which is the most phenomenal thing about the country, that theres so many checks and balances inside the system that when you do a system check and you get an Inspector General involved, it looks like the system is working the way someone like fiona hill would work inside the system. The Inspector Generals report due out on monday believed to say that the start of the russia investigation was legally sound. Anthony, multiple government officials testified there is no evidence that ukraine tried to meddle in the 2016 election, no evidence of wrongdoing by the bidens. Why do the president s allies insist in retrofitting reality here . Because, again, its whataboutism. If we can try to hook this to the ukrainians, we can get the gun off the bird of what happened as it related to russia, and we can get the gun back on the notion that the president was calling president zelenski to talk about ukrainian corruption. Thats what theyre trying to do. Its not going to work. And i do applaud senator graham and senator romney yesterday who basically had to admit to everybody that, look, weve looked at the intelligence, weve looked at the information and the stuff about the ukraine is nonsense. So again, its going to be down to each person, their last name, theyll have to think about their parents, think about their legacy for their children and grandchildren, and say, wait a minute, im going to back this guy, hes now rolling in a barrel off of niagara falls, hes a traitor and a criminal, so im going to back him for partisan purposes or am i going to do the right thing for the country that howard baker and Barry Goldwater did, 48, 47 years ago. Let me ask you before we run out of time. Youve got the mulvaneys, the pompeos, the barrs who will continue to do what the president says or wants. If youre in the white house and youre the communications director, youve got people saying, wait for the durham report, wait for the horowitz report, then the ukraine, the Conspiracy Theory. I was only there 11 days, 12 days longer than i should have. I could never have lasted, because guys like general kelley, jim mattis, were honest but theyre gone. You have to resign or tell people youre not running for reelection because you want to save your party. Hes not willing to do that. Richard nixon did that. Hes not willing to do that. He wants to bring the whole system down. Thank you. Good to see you. Rudy giuliani isnt the only one pushing a counternarrative.

Easily set, track and control your goals right from the chase mobile® app. Chase. Make more of whats yours®. As impeachment pressure on President Trump ramps up, his defenders are heating up their rhetoric with words like sham, hoax, coup, and a whole lot of debunked conspiracy theories. Are they creating an alternative fact universe for their audience . Here now to discuss, quinn hilliar. Quinn, were so happy to have you here. Quinn, i have to tell you, i read this scathing piece you wrote. Its very good. It was an opinion piece you wrote about senator john kennedy from my home state of louisiana. You went to school with him at loyola in the 90s. You write, now, though, he has turned into trumps pet parakeet, repeating whatever outrageous lines the president emits about how ukraine, not russia, was the real culprit in systematically interfering in the 2016 elections. What was he like when you knew him and how has trump changed him . This was a sort of a graduate seminar course, Loyola Institute of politics. John was a heck of a nice guy. But he was an oxford student. He had been at oxford. He had been editor of the university of virginia law review. He was sort of patrician and a little bit preppy. He had a very mild southern accent. But he was certainly not the same heavy accented southern good ole boy that he portrays now. Its like a 180degree difference in personality. So you think he puts on that accent for a reason . You think thats yeah, well, you know, the senate is full of stuffed shirts. And hes a very smart guy, and he probably figured the way to stand out is by acting as as he could and by being the caricature of the clever, smart, good ole boy. And that way he could get fla national attention. So, thats what hes doing. Ive got to tell you he doesnt sound or act anything like that the guy that was in my institute of politics class. Its part of a much bigger problem in our politics, though, if youre watching the impeachment or any other news about President Trumps behavior on fox news, theres a whole alternative reality. I want you to listen to this. The first phase of the democrats impeachment coup attempt, the schiff show, a disaster. The schiff report is an abuse because of the ukraine sham and all the false allegations there. There was no collusion, russia didnt hack our democracy. The whole thing was a ludicrous talking point invented by the Hillary Clinton campaign, the socalled trump ukraine impeachment inquiry report, its really just a coup report. The report is chockfull of nothing but conspiracy theories, left wing opinions, conjecture, hearsay witnesses. The reason were talking about ukraine is because joe biden and his son were involved in something very shady. One fact witness said yeah, i dont want a quid pro quo. Pelosi and her whackedout caucus are on a vengeful high. Theyre tripping on a ukraine hallucinogenic. So fox is pushing it. But republicans for the most part appear to be going along with these lies. Do you agree, and if so, why . Theyre not telling the truth. First of all, to call the whole russian thing a hoax is absurd. Almost the entire first half of the Mueller Report was not about whether or not donald trump colluded with russia. It was about all the horrendously bad things russia did, systematically, to interfere with our election. And that was the really important part of the Mueller Report. And it is indisputably accurate. And all of our intelligence agencies have said so. For Tucker Carlson and all these people to say its all a hoax is a flatout lie. And again, for them now to say that theres no new evidence coming out from these impeachment hearings, again, thats a lie. There have been a dozen witnesses adding lots of new evidence. The question is not whether there is evidence. The question is not whether trump did something inappropriate. The question is is it inappropriate enough to impeach . But to not even acknowledge that there was some rather inappropriate stuff, it is just to literally tell the American People a lie. Do you think people who watch fox news are more illinformed than people who dont . No, im not about to say that. But im just wondering because at least theyre not listening to the conspiracy theories and they have the possibility of being able to make up their mind without listening to the conspiracy theories night after night. Or on conservative media, i dont want to pick on fox news, im using them as an example of conservative media, people who spout these conspiracy theories. Go on, sorry. Look, im a conservative columnist. Ive been a Movement Conservative for more than 40 years. So i sort of like conservative media. But i just wish they would tell the truth. Thats what gets me, is i see conservative politicians out there just mouthing the same old words about hoax and swamp and witch hunt. And its not the truth. Again, you can have a different opinion about whether something is impeachable. But dont deny the facts. 100 agree with you. Its very disturbing for somebody like i did who grew up thinking that the number one important thing about people in politics is whether or not they have integrity. And when we lose that, were on a very bad slippery slope. Well, quinn, i really appreciate your honesty and your candor. Youre welcome to come back any time, i really enjoyed your piece and i enjoy your writing. Thank you so much. I enjoy your integrity, thank you for that. Thank you so much. Thank you, don, appreciate it. Seems like everybody is angry these days. What role does anger play in our politics . Dont mess with me when it comes to words like that.

At t has americas best network, now with our best plans, at our best prices, starting at 35 a line for 4 lines. New from at t. Is it just me . Or is everybody angry these days . I get it. Youre mad. The president s mad. Do you hate the president . I dont hate anybody. A damn liar, man. Thats not true. My republican friends are mad. My democratic friends are mad. Dont i did not accuse you. You did. You did. You said i set up my son to work at an oil company. Isnt that what you said . My wife is mad. My kids are mad. Even my dog seems mad. Dont mess with me when it comes to words like that. Get your words straight, jack. Wow. Mad at hell. Not going to take it anymore. Lets discuss. Mitch landrieu, i feel like im watching network, right . Im mad, too. Everybody is so mad and frustrated. Reporters who covered pelosi for decades never had seen her that mad. Whats happening . Were in a difficult time. The future of the country is at stake. People are trying to do what they think they are supposed to do. And its going to get hotter. Were in for a ride for the next year. It will be rough. I want to play more from that exchange with nancy pelosi. Watch this. Do you hate the president , ms. Speaker . I dont hate anybody. Not anybody. Not anybody in the world. I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me. I dont hate anyone. I was raised in a way that is a heart full of love and always pray president tfor the preside. I pray for the president all the time. Dont mess with me when it comes to words like that. Well, right after that, the president attacked her in a tweet, saying he had she had a nervous fit. Does her getting angry play into his hands, you think . I dont think so. Heres Speaker Pelosi doing what she thinks is her duty to make sure that the republican stand strong and does what its supposed to do. Theres 20 senators who have said, irrespective what they hear, they are not going to do what the law requires them to do. And this journalist says she is doing it because she hates the president as opposed to what her duty is. That would frustrate you. And i think its okay when youre accused of doing something thats not fair or not right. Its okay, as long as youre being authentic about it and youre not going being gratuito gratuitous. I want to play more of joe biden who had a man who brought up his age before he brought up hunter biden. But you on the other hand, sent your son over there, and work for a gas company he had no experience in order to access for the president. Youre selling access to the president , just like he was. Youre a damn liar, man. Thats not true. And no one has ever said that. I see it on the tv. You see it on the tv. Im not getting up let him go. Let him go. Look, the reason im running is because ive been around a long time and i know more than most people know. And i can get things done. Thats why im running. If you want to check my shape, lets do pushups. Lets run. Lets do whatever you want to do. No one has said my son has done anything wrong. And i did not, on any occasion. And no one has ever said it. I didnt say you were doing anything wrong. You said i set up my son to work at an oil company. Isnt that what you said . Get your words straight, jack. You dont have any backbone than trump does. Righteous anger . What do you think . Yeah. Its roughandtumble out there. You run into things on the campaign trail. I think voters expect you to push back. Everybody will be pushed from timetotime. But its these two people who do this on the president who is popping off on a tweet. Its a weird situation to be in, i think. What do we call it . We call it indignant, right . When i was mayor of the city, i went through Community Meetings and people get after you. And from time to time, you to push back. Theres a constructive way to do it. Theres a difference between being angry, though, because i think Nancy Pelosis moment i give her respect, the House Speakers moment was a how dare you . And i dont think thats necessarily anger. And to be honest, finally, people are saying, thats what they want from joe biden. Finally, they want someone if youre going to run for president against President Trump, they want to see someone who will stand up against donald trump and beat him. Go ahead. Im sorry. I think President Trump said, if you hit me, im going to hit you back. And i might hit you first. I dont think you can bring a knife to a gun fight. I think people like to see that level of it. But you have to be constructive. Ive made mistakes and popped off on people and went home and hit myself in the head and said, that wasnt a constructive response. But from timetotime, my anger and my frustration was rightly directed at people who were accusing you of doing things you cant do. As long as youre human and authentic about it, a swing in now and then doesnt hurt. Mitch landrieu, thank you. Thank you, everybody for watching. Chris cuomo is up with cuomo primetime. Bolo. Be on the lookout. I have a packed show. I have to go. I have a packed show. I have to go. I cant see you. I look good. Guess what im wearing. Youre wearing a black tie, a white shirt and a black suit. Thats right. You know, i was trying to remember. Im mad at hell. Im not going to take it anymore. Howard beale, peter pinch. From network. From network. Im mad at hell, im not going to take it anymore. It was a madmans rant that wound up resonating with peoples discontent at the point. The answer to the question you were having with the mayor there, is whether or not the anger is harnessing a collective feeling. When you tap into that, which i would argue that President Trump did, whether he meant to or not, then its powerful. Theres a difference between anger and indignation. Indignation is when youre upset because something is unfair. Anger because you dont like being questioned and is disrespect is a mistake in politics. When somebody returns an argument with anger or hostility, its weakness. I think nancy pelosi is righteous indignation. I think someone asked an idea of a catholic who does not like the idea of having indemnity to others. Ive known nancy pelosi for most of my life. They dont talk about hateful feelings about other human beings. In truth, ive never heard her say anything different. Do you agree that people think, with the joe biden thing, i heard people say, its about time. Its about time. I dont like that. Thats what theyre saying. Im asking you. They are saying it. Whats the concern im getting wrapped. Not tonight. Role reversal. Now you know how i feel. Its 11 00 at night. We have time. The idea of, whats the problem with biden . They call him a weak frontrunner. Ive never heard of anybody being a frontrunner, as long as hes been and called weak. Why . Optics. Does he have the edge to go against a perceived dragon in donald trump . When donald trump denigrates him and calls him stupid names and has him echoing his anger, what will joe biden do . Its not an easy thing to answer. If youre going to match tone, thats a wrong analysis. People want normal. And normal isnt hostile and namecalling. You know, the strongest man in the room you ever hear the expression . Lions are not bothered by the complaints of the sheep . Are you a lion or a sheep . Are you an eagle or, you know i dont know where youre going like that. Eagle soar over everything. Theyre not concerned about the animals on the ground. Id rather be an airplane than an eagle. Thats me, though. I have to go. I have a packed show. Thank you very much. Have a good night. Now you know. I hope tomorrow night your tie matches. Im crishris cuomo. And welcome to primetime. Donald j. Trump has been fast tracked to be the third impeached american president. He says he wants it to be fast. Big questions are coming up about what will be the articles of impeachment. What are high pricrimes and misdemeanors . Do you go back to mueller . We have a leader
