Tonight or before the debate, whether you read the presidents letter or not. what the president is reacting to is the gravity of what the language of the impeachment articles is. if you havent read it and youre watching tonight, it says that donald trump, in the language of the impeachment articles, betrayed the nation. the president betrayed us, betrayed the nation. it says he subverted the constitutional process. it says he solicited foreign interference and persists in corruptly doing so. i t...

Also irrelevant to me. and to most of my colleagues. i think this is something president just cant understand. that there are all of these members of the house, including some who came from districts that he won, who are make asing decision based on whats wright # right and wrong. the six-page screen of nancy pelosi, engs# expresses his bewilderment. he doesnt know with us. >> speaker pelosi has more than enough votes now, especially the freshman democrats have more than put this over the top. h...

The impeachment articles rely almost exclusively on hearsay and opinion testimony. and they present no direct evidence of wrongdoing. as a former district attorney, i am dismayed that the democrats have submitted articles of impeachment against a sitting president. using circumstantial evidence that fails to offer proof of an impeachable offense. additionally, the charges levied against the president in the articles of impeachment lack historical precedent. and are motivated by pure political re...

Impeachment articles i dont think theyre doing -- i hope theyre doing not just about the reelection but because they truly feel like they are representing their district or something else. or the evidence wasnt compelling. to switch parties to a party that is proven it is bankrupt. and is the party of trump and not the republican party it used to be. the party that my dad belonged to. and that so many people used to look back and consider themselves part of. that is just unacceptable. as far as ...

Right for the country moving forward. >> thats what john dean said friday. shea should hold the articles of impeachment and wait. you heard about new jersey congressman. the sources are saying hes expected to leave the democratic party to become republican. he says hes in strong opposition of impeachment. give me your take. >> i think its incredibly dispinting. i dont know what the basis of the decision is. >> he wants to keep his career. it has nothing to do with the impeachment. he cant be ele...

I think we miss this a lot of times. jim is exactly right that impeachment support has dropped a little bit. down from 50 to 45. but 45% support impeachment and removal of donald trump. i asked the producers to get this with obama, bush and clinton. we all talked about impeachment. clinton was impeached. in september 1998, 29% of people thought he should be impeached and removed from office. reminder, 45% of people think that way about donald trump. so, yes, it is down, but it is down from half ...

Important point, mr. chairman, which links article i and article ii, the impeachment articles. do we want to set a precedent that u.s. citizens can become president of the united states by inviting foreign powers to get involved in our election, then once theyre in, if congress decides that their conduct is impeachable and involves high crimes and merchandise, they can then pull a curtain down over the executive branch and not allow any investigation, not allow subpoenas to be honored and so on....

Interesting, that they finish this portion, is that we still dont actually know what details theyre going to hammer out for tomorr tomorrow. and while representative raskin was able to hammer out the substance that goes into the impeachment articles, mr. collins used it as another opportunity to air grievances when it comes to process. he was able to go through all the different things republicans have been upset about on the judiciary committee regarding numbers of witnesses, the hearings that ...

Their job and by the way we went back to work and did some good things for our country. >> dana: we are going to go back to the hearing now senator trent lot, thank you for your time and we will hopefully be in touch with you as this is going to continue. thank you. >> thank you. >> dana: we will go back to the house rules committee where they are setting up parameters for the debate of the impeachment articles. >> kim jong-un is preparing missiles. if successful, may one day be able to reach th...

House, yet, hes asking for more witnesses. so which is it? >> he knows they have nothing. listen to the house impeachment articles are a joke, laura as you pointed out. they dont charge a crime. lets remember what impeachment is, like an indictment and it comes to the senate for a trial. if you have the evidence for a crime, they would have charged the crime and put it in the articles of impeachment. they didnt because i dont have anything. this whole thing is a joke and its time to get the pres...
