Wednesday. the judiciary is different from ente intel. you got out spoken trump enth e enthusiast on this community. doug collins on fox saying he would like to see adam schiff testify as a witness in these hearings. is that an effective strategy for republicans to go after adam schiff? >> it is a piece of a larger ask by republican complaints. their witnesses they are asking for are not allowed to come talk. adam schiff is one of them and hunter by endiden and the myste whistleblower that they ...

The more interesting question spinning off of that, what is going to happen when this gets to the senate where republicans do control the process? will they use that power when mitch mcconnell use that power maybe early next year to drag adam schiff in or the whistleblower or hunter biden or all of the above. it could get circus-like very fast. >> charlie with "the new york times" and jill wine-banks. thank you both of you. right now there is still a lot of action happening in d.c. on the supr...

Case that he can. one of the real challenges is we are learning new things about this all the time. >> ive just got to note the president is speaking on the white house south lawn. just to refresh the memories of our viewers who may have taken off during the holidays, we cant actually show that to you live. our colleagues are out there. were going to get notes from our teams who are in the field. the tape is going to get run back inside and well turn it around and play it for you. if i had to be...

Who i say decided not to participate and given republicans have been making the case for some time that they are not allowing him or his lawyers in this process. >> by participating ali, it would then led to the process that the white house sees as total illegitimate. outwardly and publicly if the letter from pat cipollone, hes talking about the unfairness of the process. you are hearing the point from his conservative allies on capitol hill why republicans only get to call one witness on wednes...

Turning the conversation to the latter. >> and thats the transition were making this week as the intelligence committee lays out the facts. the judiciary committee will determine does this rise to a high crime or disdemeaner. >> im being rude and looking at my phone because the president is speaking here. hes talking about nato on the south lawn of the white house. he is talking about the economy. these are issues he often likes to tee up. he was asked a question and said in his view that the ra...

In flames. and to that extent, we have a big issue on capitol hill. there are protests in iran. well see to what extent trump stays on at least the nato message. clearly if you look at his twitter feed, hes in a different frame of mind. his focus isnt on london, but on whats happening back home. were going to have a split screen week. theyre touting this idea that its 3-1 in terms of the attorneys that the democrats are going to be offering versus on the republican side. so well see to what exte...

Show? look, the chairman nadler is rushing this and chairman schiff and speaker pelosi are running the committee again because we have no idea. >> so you heard the other congressman this morning on fox as well. is this the republican strategy going into this thing? >> of course, they cant win in the house. the outcome is predetermined in a lot of ways. theres probably going to be a party line vote at the end of this process is pass articles of impeachment, move on to the senate for a trial. what...

Which the white house gets to make its own defense, gets to call witnesses, gets to introduce new evidence. so the white house has known all along that this was the time as which if they wanted to, they could participate. but theyre clearly not. and one of the reasons why theyve not is because theyve invested so much in trying to cast this entire enterprise as a partisan witch hunt. so to participate in it now would only validate the process theyve been trying to undermine for months. >> the doo...

Tried to lay out here. secondly, after that process, that is the intelligence committee will get a chance in some form to make their case to the judiciary committee members that president trump does deserve to be impeached. there will likely be an argument for the presidents attorneys after that point if they choose to participate in the process. which will allow them to lay out the presidents case as to why he didnt do anything wrong. >> long-term, what are you hearing about the senate portion ...

Failed on witches getting robbed again support. you will recall earlier this summer speaker pelosi when she was resisting impeachment proceedings said one of the key barometers for her was strong bipartisan buy-in but of course at this point its not looking like any republik in ob supporting impeachment and the party as a whole will be unified coming out of the house process. the best data point to support that, arthel, are the fact that congressman will hurt, republic and from texas who is reti...
