>> i am a democrat. i want the democrats to win, but this is not a question of a fox news firewall. this is a question of a case that is weak and american people that want to hear talk about jobs, the economy, the environment and healthcare. for my party they do better talking about those issues than this impeachment case. >> john, i want to share with the viewers some polling data from your company. this is brand new. you found the generic vote for congress is tied. 47% democrats and 45 for rep...

Quiet about the frozen military aid at the heart of this plot. that frozen aid is at the center of the impeachment case. and now democrats say these new e-mails highlight the need for more evidence and more witnesses. >> stop the aid, 91 minutes after trump calls zelensky and said keep it hush hush. from whom did duffy get the order? from whom did duffy get the order and why did he do it? what more do you need to request a witness? >> so today the top republican in the senate mitch mcconnell say...

That way too. there are gaps. now people could make up their mind with gaps in testimony but i would like to see a full and complete picture. >> he would like to see a full and complete picture. do you agree and are you concerned at all that the impeachment case that has been put out there, what we know thus far from house democrats is not rock solid, especially if there is a chance there may know about the additional witnesses or evidence. >> i think senator jones is correct. again, remember wh...

You have to defend me, and if not, i can go to your state, i can punish you in a whole myriad of ways, these people get on line and follow him quickly. >> mitt romney was like that. he said what was said in the call was disturbing and he didnt approve of it, and right away we saw conservatives go after mitt romney in terms of ad. so the president and his allies laid down a marker early and said if you say something thats wrong, youre going to have repercussions. >> that was bad news for these pe...

How they put it. or take the newspaper that launched the modern tradition of investigative journalism in watergate, "the washington post" now endorsing the impeachment of president trump in this historic full page editorial, noting his obstruction threatens u.s. democracy. it is a departure from the last impeachment in our history where newspapers often condemned clintons personal conduct but largely opposed the republican push for impeachment as legally unwarranted. today several newspapers say...

Pelosi and mitch mcconnell. >> our founders, when they wrote the constitution, they suspected that there could be a rogue president. i dont think they suspected that we could have a rogue president and a rogue leader in the senate at the same time. >> some house democrats imply theyre withholding the articles for some kind of leverage so they can dictate the senate process to senators. i admit, im not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want. >> yes, big...
