Government and you know rudys threats are meaningless and i again, i think theyre trying to stretch out the time here and allow trump, they think they can run out the clock. but they cant. because they dont have a strategy. the democrats have a strategy and part of the democratic strategy is to just let them behave foolishly and outrageously and begin to lose the war on public opinion, which is the critical part of it going on here. >> jack. i was referencing your post-piece earlier in the show....

The system of checks and balances. it is the most important you know sort of foundational point about our democracy. >> that we have three co-equal branches of government. they hold each other in check. they hold each other in balance and what trump is trying to do here is totally re-arrange the power structure of the federal government. i dont think that the federal courts will going to go along with that and allow him to diminish congress, to his own benefit, particularly his other than person...

This escalation just outlined by those two democrats, that the house on friday would be willing to send out subpoenas if they dont get the kind of cooperation from the white house that they have been asking for. i want to talk about what we just heard with nbc news correspondent heidi przybilla, david lean hart from "the new york times" has been writing about this extensively. greg bower, a former u.s. attorney. heidi, right before we went into the press conference, i said what will you be looki...

And no one wants this, but we did include in our op-ed the possibility of holding someone in contempt. no one in real america gets to just not show up when theyre subpoenaed. >> congresswoman, you sound like a sound public servant i just wondered about the other side. they stone walled all requests for documents, theyve never come up with the presidents tax returns. the statute is clear they shall turn it over to the house ways and means in the senate, they dont do it. the president is behind ev...
