Dont happen until they are too late because they are only applicable to the judiciary committee. and the public hearings that are coming up are going to be with the three committees that are already doing the investigation. and by the time things goat the judiciary committee, everything is already going to be done. theres going to be a report. the rules provide these committees are going to produce a report to the judiciary committee. and so the way that rules look, it doesnt look like there are...

Arguments to continue to argue its illegitimate. i dont view this as a public relations move by the house democrats. i think its an opportunity to take control of the process. this is our house. we make the rules and were going to decide how this process unfolds. you dont get to dictate it or tell us thou how to do our busi. weve seen not very much respect for that from the white house but its the houses jurisdiction and this is the message theyre sending. >> its so clearly laid out in article 1...

Invitation. he could understand the conversation on the other end. didnt have to go through a translator. so he has a perspective that many in the room did not have. so his voice is very, very credible. plus, based on the education that army officers get, if i can give this a couple of seconds. were trained to not only develop ourselves as individual leaders but leaders within organizations. so he has a very clear picture of what right looks like and when he heard the conversation, he raised his...

Cross-examine witnesses, call your own witnesses. you get those rights and say its too little, too late. its somewhat predictable. >> okay. thanks, lauren. ross, give us the intel. compare this to the clinton impeachment for us, if you could, in terms of the rights of the minority party here. >> yeah, so the comparisons arent direct because, remember, in clinton, the starr investigation happened -- the starr report was done and submitted to congress. but notably in clinton and nixon, the rules a...

Democrats take steps to go public with impeachment procedures. theyll mark up a resolution that will lay out the rules for public hearings as well as the direction of the inquiry. lawmakers will then take it to a floor vote tomorrow. thats key. theyll have to be on the record now. >> congressional reporter lauren fox is on capitol hill. i mean, its pretty obvious nancy pelosi doesnt go to a vote without knowing the numbers here, but you do have at least one holdout democrat from the state of new...

Particularly breitbart, with its kind of nightmare headline on the daca story. its description of how john kelly wont let anybody in the room with news clips during the day. he gets his briefing in the morning. he gets to see a very specific type of story. you know, in the weeks since steve bannon was"60 minutes" and kelly has come in, weve seen a different kelly come in. hes a shake shifter and does unpredictable things all the time, but i wonder if part of the change is due to a change in his ...

This has had an impact on her campaign. it has affected her credibility, how voters view her. so to me, making this sudden change of heart is the first big acknowledgement that the clinton campaign realizes this is a potential problem and they want to move on as quickly as possible. to jeffs point, how big is this? hitting at the incredibly important issues of how much people can trust her? >> people will always attack any politician. this is a good example of what we in clinton land have called...

Its always always always based on criminalality. >> people use the phrase "clinton rules" in different ways. theres clinton rules that clintons dont think they have to the rules and then theres the way of throwing the normal evidentiary standards of going after the clinton. both exist. clintons regularly cut ethical corners and a little sloppy in their conflicts of interest and theres a longstanding journalistic vendetta against the clintons that allows people to exaggerate and follow the sort o...

Criminality. >> this is what i wrote today. is that people use the phrase clinton rules in two different ways. they use clinton rules to talk about the clintons dont think that they should follow the rules, and then theres clinton rules which is the way journalists consistently kind of throw out normal evidentiary standards in going after the clintons. both of these kind of rules exist. clintons regularly cut ethical corners and are a little bit sloppy in their conflicts of interest and there is...

Its an honor system. >> let me ask ron. >> all the process issues matter more to us. this is a bad trend. i think she made a bad choice to do this level of public business through personal e-mail. its a bad trend and it should be resisted. having been up and down the hill of clinton scandals i think the odds are pretty high this is going to matter less on whether shes president or not than we think today. >> it reminds people allow the rnc to make that kind of an ad and reminds people about -- >...
