Corruption that touched on biden just like biden only seemed to be interested in firing prosecutors who were investigating his son. but my overall beef with this, bill, is its just preposterous to be arguing it in terms of impeachment. these are not high crimes on misdemeanors. fault on both sides. to inflate it into an impeachable offense is not only absurd under the circumstances it will make this country ungovernable. if ukraine is impeachment material i dont know what president will not be u...

Senators are criticizing president trumps call with ukraines president. joining me now is former ohio governor and cnn senior political commentator mr. john kasich in studio. good to see you. >> good to see you, sir. >> you say that youre shocked by the summary, just the summary. were not even getting into the whistle-blowers complaint. but youre shocked by this summary, but you still dont think its impeachment material? >> well, i think the jurys still out in my mind, don. look, i was on the ai...

Think its impeachment material? >> well, i think the jurys still out in my mind, don. look, i was on the air just a couple days ago saying that the whistle-blower has to get to the intelligence committees, and then the next day i saw the senate said it should go there. look, when you read this, when you read this whole narrative, it makes you sick, okay? the question is -- heres what i think. we have to go in order. i heard the congresswoman just a little bit ago say we have a long way to go. we...

Trusted. >> martha: and they believe its a sham government and the thinking is they would overrun the government in short order if they had -- if they knew that the united states was no longer a presence. they are going through just the hellos and the introductions are from the president at the moment. want to ask about something else that you are quite active on on twitter about this whole idea of the latest sort of round of impeachment material that democrats seem to want to dig into when they...

The president has slamming him so there are plenty of kinds of impeachment material. the other thing is for perjury, you need a really clear question and answer. you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that that statement is false and if you look at how it was actually asked, you had the republicans basically saying you wanted to work in the white house, you were mad you didnt get invited to the dance, and then they literally talk over each other back and forth with cohen saying, no, no, no,...

>> no. it does happen from time to time. its actually pretty rare. usually most of the time by the time someone has sat down, entered a guilty plea, they understand that the best they can do for themselves is to cooperate fully and truthfully so that they can get that motion and have a reduced sentence. and a good lawyer will sit down with their client and explain that to them. on rare occasion, there are defendants who will continue to lie, oftentimes minimizing their own role. it sounds like t...

Privilege and keep portions of the report confidential from congress. how important would it be for mueller to have access to these documents to draw from if his investigation includes impeachment material? >> its important. i mean, he can do without it. but its definitely important. nobody wants to reinvent the wheel. if you see how someone else analyzed this and processed this, thats helpful to sort of give you a roadmap to how to handle this and how to deal with his own legal report. he can d...

A tremendous amount of impeachment material. sought start of the cross-examination usually involves something like what we saw today from kevin downing. so ann, the defense, you know, they forced manafort to repeat that he lied to the special counsel. lets just be honest here. because we dont lie. 20 times he met with the special counsel. 20 times. before they agreed to do a deal. which means he lied a whole lot to bob mueller before he decided to stop lying to bob mueller. he admitted to steali...

Called impeachment material which means he has to provide to the defense all of the witness statements that were made by rick gates. the last thing he wants to do is turn over statements that gates has made about the conspiracy between the trump campaign and the russians. on top of that, prosecutors like me used to like to try really lean cases. the less evidence you put before the jury, the better you are because every time you call a witness, there are pluses and minuses. and if you dont need ...
