Doesnt Make Up News Today

-- >> bill: you could also make the case the last few public hearings did not go quite a way democrats had hoped. >> exactly in the judiciary committee. you had some of the intelligence committee. lets hope adam schiff doesnt make up testimony like from the president or anybody else. i think clearly she trusts adam schiff to run the tv show more than she trusts jerry nadler. >> julie: i want to talk about some of the explosive testimony in particular tim morrison. democrats were hoping this woul...

Process. it has been a closed-door process. ive been in almost 70 hours of testimony right now and all that is leaked out are the things that are damaging to the president of the united states. i can tell you todays opening testimony they arent going to leak it out. some of my democrat colleagues look like theyre sucking lemons this morning as we start to hear from another witness behind closed doors. >> bill: are you referring to tim morrison who started his interview this morning? >> i was the...

Sthe is worried about voting. each vote that gets cast is a permanent reflection on where the house is and what their efforts are. there are 30 some odd representatives that are in states and districts that president trump carried and has a lot of support. so she has to be concerned with any vote especially when it comes to those 30 plus representatives. >> julie: i want to talk more about house lawmakers debating the impeachment resolution while these depositions continue. tim morrison the key ...

Reason nancy pelosi is speaker of the house. they took back control of the house because of those 30 or so democrats. and she -- they are the ones she has been trying to protect from the beginning of this so-called process. >> bill: as you look at it from the outside and if you do the math you might get a few republicans voting with democrats and a few democrats voting with republicans. by and large it will be a partisan vote right down the middle. >> a totally partisan vote. it is a good thing ...

Majority can legislate and fulfill our constitutional responsibilities to hold this president to account. >> julie: chad, i want to ask you first of all about mccarthys words just now about due process. something that the republicans have been furious about. the fact that the republicans have not been able to go inside those closed-door meetings held by these democrats. the democrats are now hoping to get a vote forward so that they can release the transcripts of those interviews and the testimo...

Of wide explanation it is basically whatever the house and the senate decide it is and it talks about abuse of power. it doesnt necessarily have to be something that violates u.s. code 213. it can be whatever the political representatives of the country and the congress decide is acceptable or unacceptable. i think that incidentally could end up being the republican fallback plan and you heard some of that from bill bennett. all right, youll have all this testimony. my guess is it will be damagi...

Process control the information are the ones that feed us the public bits and sound bites that we can rely on or not. i dont think what you get when you are only looking at sound bites is the whole context of testimony. you dont get cross examination. you dont get credibility assessment and so its hard to make those determinations. no witness has been explosive outside of thoefs that the democrats have labeled as explosive. >> julie: we appreciate your time this morning. thank you very much. >> ...

Violated the constitution. this is about protecting our national security and safeguarding our elections. thats why the intelligence committee has been gathering evidence and hearing testimony like any investigation, reasonable confidentiality has been paramount. witnesses should not be able to coordinate testimony in advance. the truth must be allowed to prevail. republicans have been a part of every single proceeding conducted so far. republicans conducting these depositions along with their s...

Facts for themselves. this resolution insures transparency advancing public disclosure of deposition transcripts and outlining the procedure of the transfer of evidence to the judiciary committee to use in its proceedings and enables effective public hearings setting out procedures for the questioning of witnesses and continuing the precedent of giving the minority the same rights and questioning witnesses as the majority. which has been true at every step of this inquiry despite what you might ...
