What im also going to do if im the democrats, long term. play for 2020. go after the vulnerable republican senators who are running. hang mcconnell and trump on them because theyre going all in supporting this, right? well, guess what? if you got 50% of this country saying they didnt want this guy impeached and removed, i would say gardner, tillis, ernst, who else? collins and a few others, hey, guys, vulnerable senators, they went all in. they defied the constitution. they defied their oath. th...

I think theres more unknown than we can say right now and i think its impossible to be senator gardener or collins and say im leaning towards acquittal but i cannot acquit you until i hear from people who that have appeared in testimony. fiona hill said john bolton said it was a derog deal. if it is, ive got to pray on that or think on that. i think the senate trial has the potential to take this country on an even more dramatic roller coaster ride. >> john, as i said my basis as an amateur in y...

Hearings, it was only 19%. about 13 months late after the secret tapes, the highest level of support for impeaching nixon was 57%. that was without fox news. and roger ailes said if nixon had fox news, he would have never been impeached. 50% of this country want him impeached and removed. 61% of women. so keep attacking women, donald trump. 70% think what he did was incorrect, improper. and 70% of americans, including a majority of republicans, want trumps aides, the people like mulvaney and pen...

Be debatable for six hours, equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking matter of the committee on the judiciary. the gentleman from new york, mr. nadler, and the gentleman from georgia, mr. collins each will control three hours. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from new york, mr. nadler. >> madame speaker, i ask unanimous consent, all members may have five legislative days to revise their remarks. >> that objection so ordered. >> madame speaker, i now yield one minute to the d...

Integrity of the 2020 elections which are so close. this is why theyre not waiting. you know, leader mcconnell said this is rushed. people like raskin will continue to move quickly because this is a crime that is happening in realtime. again, i think the republicans are going to really lean on this argument that this is rushed, that the democrats havent done their homework and its flimsy, with both collins and mcconnell said yesterday. >> danny cevallos here on set, thank you so much to you. >> ...

Felt proud to be part of that hearing and i really want to recognize both the ranking member and the chair. the previous speaker is part of that rules committee and i would just say that the passion that she demonstrated in her comments, i cant say how much i completely disagree with her, which is a statement on the environment we find ourselves in. and i unfortunately agree with some of her comments, but where the responsibility is, i would put at the white house and the president. he is the di...

I cast a solemn vote for the many individuals in my district who entrusted me to be their voice in congress. they entrusted me to uphold our constitution for them. i vote yes for sarah in chicago, doug in kankakee, diane in flosmore and catherine in crete and jimmy in park forest. the path forward is clear. impeachment is not an option. it is an obligation because no one is above the law. i yield back. >> gentleman from georgia. >> thank you, madam speaker. at this time, it is my privilege to yi...
