One republican walk the plank on impeachment, you make them walk the plank on impeachment on a matter of votes, not a procedural vote. its like have you met president trump? its not like if you give him some concessions all , all of a sudden tomorrow hes going to say, oh, yeah, here are my tax returns and heres ambassador sondland. hes not going to do it. >> almost all the democrats you talk to shy away from this. they dont want anything to do with this. sabrina. >> i think some of the democrats...

Pushing back, trying to stop the president from pushing ahead. what they repeatedly told julie and i for the book is that he didnt come to these ideas once and then talked out of them. he would bring up an idea, the administration officials would say, no, sir, i cant do that, its not legal, not moral, not practical, and he would come back to it again and again and again we all think we know he knows what hes talking about, but the truth is despite that sort of illusion of transparency theres a l...

Through the course of the investigation whether or not they are individuals who can come forward with firsthand knowledge of the phonecall in the circumstances surrounding the presidents call with ukraine. it really depends on part of the reason it is closed doors is because the investigation is taking place and there hasnt been a determination made into evidence and is still ongoing as we speak. >> look at the end of the day whats was important to hear is there has been no evidence that the pre...

Theres another term in white-collar crimes, this illusion of invincibility. the president has such a vast illusion of invincibility. maybe its not an illusion. at this point, the system is designed to provide checks and balances, theyre flouting it at every opportunity. they did respond to the democratic subpoenas prior to the impeachment inquiry and doesnt appear theyre going to now. weve been talking to a lot of democratic house members, members of the intelligence committee, what are you goin...

What in the world was he doing and who was he doing it for as the presidents private lawyer. that isnt a typical mission. so his illusion to the saying im doing this for the state department is something we can now run down and find if he did have any kind of authority and bhie did he. >> if the state department were working with giuliani, would it be documented beyond those text messages that giuliani is putting out there? >> well, i would imagine there would be somebody in the state department...

Allegation of wrong doing, would it? >> pno. its just people are questioning what in the world was he doing and who was he doing it for as the presidents private lawyer. that isnt a typical mission. so his illusion to the saying im doing this for the state department is something we can now run down and find if he did have any kind of authority and bhie did he. >> if the state department were working with giuliani, would it be documented beyond those text messages that giuliani is putting out th...

This is kind of like the nonsense about bars alleged mise mueller report. it all comes out with in a matter of days anyway. i think its an illusion. it you want to know what a cover-up is? its president nixon ordering john dean to pay hush money to the burglars. thats a cover-up. whether or not you think its impeachable, a cover-up is asking betty curry to retrieve gifts from monica lewinsky and then she hides them under her bed. at the cover-up. >> laura: you are taking us back to impeachment. ...

I havent checked all the pleadings but i didnt see rudys name on any of them. hes not filing documents. he is a friend of the president who is using this cover. i dont know if hes practicing law. i dont even know if his law license is active. i dont know if he has a privilege here. he does not have prifl with his white house counsel, another reason that he may have concern about who hes dealing with in the white house. >> what was your response when you heard "the new york times" reporting, whic...

Ukraine would have that unless its a weird illusion to hacking. its hard to make out what that means. seems to me when the press was just asking the president questions when they asked if he thought that ukraine had hillary clintons e-mails, that that must have been a question that was spawned by this part of the transcript and the illusion to the server. >> dana: stands by. i want to bring in alex and johanna here. i want to -- pull up the sound bite 41. this is david axelrod, famous political ...

>> well, it raises a lot of questions, don, about, you know, whether the -- you know, how the president deals with top secret national security information, how he deals with foreign leaders. and i would hope that both republicans and democrats would be equally concerned and equally determined to get to the truth. sadly, i think our experience since 2017 has disabused me of that illusion that republicans on capitol hill really care about the national security because what they seem to mainly car...
