House of commons with people screaming and interrupting. this is a good thing. were likely to hear indications of what is, in fact, this impeachment all about. moving procedure to substance. well see. here is what has happened very briefly. the majority report from the house judiciary committee and the dissenting views i think set the stage beautifully for tomorrows debate. i will say this. in light of the conversations today about missing witnesses so to speak, or some might say well the rush t...

Michael cohen to make those illegal payments. but hes the president and so while hes president, he cant be prosecuted. and so only michael cohen has gone to jail for that. funny, though, last may president trump had to revise the financial disclosure that hes legally required to make as president. he revised it to include for the first time an after-the-fact admission that, yes, he did pay michael cohen for the hush money payments to the porn star and the playboy model. its illegal for a federal...

Sink in with people if you lie enough times as adolf hitler proved. some people start to believe these lies. >> i want to talk about one of the things that is sort of the detail in the steele dossier that keeps coming up and thats this idea that there are tapes that russia may have of donald trump that they can use as compromise against him. theres an intriguing footnote in the mueller report about thames they dont describe. was he able to substantiate the existence of tapes of trump that russia...

>> tell the guy in his district whos working that late at night. >> he said it was stalin-esque. >> its absurd. >> anything think it worked? >> charlie, does anybody give a darn how late they work or what time they get up in the morning? im asking. >> no, and i dont think its stalin-esque to make you come in on a friday morning, maybe it is in congress these days. imagine today they had a vote at midnight, this would have become the talking point, you know, the midnight vote to impeach the presi...
