Police officers rarely get convict convicted, this one here has a real chance. also, the judge will tell the jury they can come with a lesser included charge. if they dont think it is murder they can go to manslaughter. unless this jury is racist, i think there will be a conviction here. >> i feel like youre all in agreement on so many of these points. >> we are at a certain level. were in dallas here. and there was an adjournment today. saturday, day six, day seven will be very powerful. it is ...

Choice and especially since the mueller report the president has basically thumbed his nose at congress by refusing to accept their subpoenas, refusing to accept congressional oversight, this expansive assertion of executive privilege and this latest revelation comes on the heels of that to the point where they had no choice. they felt like they had no choice. i think its important for the american public to remember however this turns out in the senate, and it requires a two-thirds vote to conv...

In july. whats your thought on the timing? >> smart politics. nobody wants to be running in a trump district running against impeaching the president that everybody likes. let me tell you whats at stake, if they do impeach the president and the senate doesnt vote to convict, imagine what kind of a presidency youre going to have? this wasnt bill clinton who was contrite after he was impeached after he was conducted. this is donald trump. imagine what kind of department of justice youll have in an...

Convicted. that happens in the senate. the trial park moved to the senate. it could vote to dismiss the case. republicans are in charge there. or could vote to hold the trial. once the trial ends if it happens, it would go to a full senate for vote and then of course the senate has a republican majority as i mentioned. whats the margin they would need? they would need two-thirds of the u.s. senate to vote to convict the president. that is something democrats do not have under any circumstances u...

Senate. >> bret: thats the political process. you get over that hurdle in the house. in order to convict, you need is senate and you dont have the votes there. so as you look politically, whats the next moment? the next moment is the election. if democrats -- its a tight rope. they have to convince america that this is the right move right now based on what they are seeing that transcript. >> neil: or they are not getting overzealous. its happened in the past for both parties. >> bret: we have s...

Senate. the unanimous resolution yesterday suggests at least that the resistance is not entirely reflexive, but you live in washington, which is perhaps the oddest place to do it, but what do you feel? what do you think? >> thanks. were regular americans here in washington, too, in many aspects of our lives. the -- well, we have mitt romney coming to the atlantic festival today. thats one of the questions thats going to go to mitt romney. hes an outlier in the republican caucus. if you mean do d...

Republicans in the senate may also start changing their minds? >> ive made the case one option around the mueller report for the house was you could im350e67 and not refer to the senate for trial. that is possible. typical impeachment includes an article referring it to the senate. in this matter i think you refer to the senate and the nation should be able to see if republicans will protect this president. look, i would say to the house and those who are engaging in political calculus about but...

This weekend that the state department enabled the presidents lawyer to do so. the director of the budget office froze the funding in the midst of this, and the attorney general of the united states is coordinating a cover-up of all of that. this is why the house was given the tool not to punish but to charge. the question is should the house charge? and for those who say, well, the senate wont convict, would you rather live in a world in which nobody tries to hold this president accountable or ...

That op-ed earlier this evening that is very powerful i think, ive got to think that will hurd, mike gallagher, mike fitzpatrick, cia and army, fbi, former in each of those cases, they have all shown streaks of independence. i think they are saying maybe this is the moment for me to step up as well. >> and bill raises the idea if democrats unanimously in the house decided to impeach, they would have the votes to do so. loufr they would n however they would not have the votes for convict in the s...

Coordinating a cover-up of all of that. this is why the house was given the tool not to punish but to charge. >> right. >> the question is, should the house charge? and for those who say, well, the senate wont convict, would you rather live in a world in which nobody tries to hold this president accountable, or at least the house does? >> well, and the final point id make here is to sort of go back to arguing the other side is the idea of the politics of 2020 are separate from the presidents act...
