Unequivocal. we just got in the transcript from this hearing today, including the parts of the transcript where the judge reads his ruling from the bench. part of that ruling, quote, the court concludes that plaintiffs have not raised any serious questions going to the merits -- the plaintiffs in this case are president trump and his family. "the supreme court has likely foreclosed the path that plaintiffs ask this court to travel. it is well settled that the committees possess the power to issu...

This is congress, dozens of committees, court cases here, there and everywhere. does he have the fortitude to be under scrutiny under a democratic run congress? >> i think the answer is no. hes showing acknowledgitation frustration and behavior thats adding to the case about obstruction because hes so resistant to this. granted this is being done by congress, he feels comfortable he has republicans in control in the senate. theyre not going to let him get removed. he feels comfortable about that...

>> not to me. you know, i think the more thats in public, the more people have an opportunity to come to their own conclusions. if its in private then what youre going to do is get the democratic version of what he said and the republican version of what he said. now, i think mr. mueller has an unimpeachable reputation and thats why -- thats one of the reasons id like to have him testify in public. its something we would value and think the american people would appreciate, but i think its somet...

There are findings, there were conclusions. there were many, many questions raised as to what he looked at and concluded. but he in this 60-day period has not said a word. weve not heard anything from him since his report was submitted apart from this release of this one page short letter from him to attorney general william barr complaining to barr angrily and directly that barr was misrepresenting the findings of muellers investigation, and he was giving the american people a mistaken impressi...

For the country. and for the country. >> yeah. how heavily do the political implications here weigh on your mind, this idea if you go down this road then perhaps you would be handing the president the re-election? >> well, first of all, i am not sure that we can calculate precisely what the political implications will be. so i know that conventional thinking is that it would be helpful to him. i cant imagine how that might be the case, but thats the conventional thinking. but my view is, when it...

Thats the basis of the meeting later today in a couple hours from now between the president, senator schumer as well as speaker pelosi. >> eric: were on all this this morning throughout the show. >> sandra: a lot to dig into there. for more lets bring in former utah congressman jason chaffetz. we know democrats are meeting right now. nancy pelosi says there is no division within her party. we know there are more than a dozen democrats pushing for impeachment proceedings to begin on this presiden...

Surprise to folks even who ar involved in house foreign affairs, this meeting had taken place. its fascinating that this went down, bianna. just based on the path that weve seen to getting here. >> yeah, and its -- you know, it should be no surprise given its rex tillerson and some of the things hes said in the past, hes obviously a private citizen at this point. there have been previous statements that he has made along the lines that this president has wanted me to do some things that were ill...

To congress." oh, okay. this is going to be interesting. the broader context here, of course, is that we are in this whole universe of conflict ever since the mueller investigation was ended, right? 60 days ago. it has been 60 days since mueller turned up -- since mueller turned in his report and the justice department announced that muellers investigation was done. in that 60-day period we have seen neither hide nor hair of robert mueller himself. what happened to him? his investigation is done...

Break the law. and when we find that out, i dont know that we will have any other choice. >> and i do want to ask you specifically about ways and means, and your efforts there in a second. it appears to me that you agree with the speaker that you think the president is engaged in a cover-up? >> no question about it. absolutely. >> so if you think that, if you and nancy pelosi believe that, does it make sense that you are not ready yet to move toward impeachment proceedings? im trying to figure o...

So, again, theres a lot of conduct that were seeing once again, you know, in this testimony tonight that steps up to the line of propriety, maybe doesnt step over it, perhaps cant be charged, probably cant. again, is it appropriate conduct for the president of the united states? again, im saying president of the united states. his attorney is acting as his agent so i dont want to suggest that sekulows hands are entirely clean with respect to misconduct if he is in fact acting as an agent of the ...
