Of content for the republicans -- >> this is the most -- ive seen. ill see you tomorrow. >> after a vote on the house floor, it will be up to the senate whether to remove the president and majority leader mitch mcconnell already vows that will not happen. >> we all know how its going to end. there is no chance the president will be removed from office. >> the impeachment process started because of a whistle-blowerer complaint. as a result, the white house is now cracking down on who has access t...

Are some other players in all of this. the minute that impeachment goes to the senate, the chief justice of the supreme court becomes the presiding officer of the senate and hell have something to say about how all this gets organized as well. we shouldnt assume that mitch mcconnell is going to control every part of the impeachment process. >> michael, to you, we have heard from several members of the house judiciary suggesting that mcconnell should recuse himself, we know that. but whats your t...

Overplayed, i think he will be forgotten in days. i dont think he will be a hero to republicans or some, you know, villain for the democrats. it is not really that significant. its not that important. listen, a lot of the people that came in in trump districts have a significant amount of their constituents who still have some affection for the president, many are disappointed but dont like the impeachment process. but this is very, very different than 1998, and 1998 tom delay didnt have the vot...

Wrongdoings and abuses power. and the democrats could react the same way. they could decide that they dont want to face the facts. it becomes really, really problematic in a democracy when polarization is at this extent that we cant convince any -- any side to find some kind of common ground. what we do know is about 70% of the public did think that trump committed something that was wrong. that whatever he did with the ukraine call was improper. but were having trouble convincing our elites, wh...

Showed at the white house or that you have a democratic base thats hysterical. >> or you use your power and try to shut down the investigation and youre asking for it. if he had played it differently, he wouldnt be here. >> she announced an impeachment process without looking at the white house statement, without looking at the complaint, without interviewing anyone. she announced it. >> shofs slow on this. >> you ask we are now on the verge of impeaching the 45th president of the united states ...

>> as the house judiciary committee was preparing to vote on two articles of impeachment against president trump, the president was meeting with rudy giuliani who has found himself a central player at the heart of this impeachment process now. according to "the new york times," rudy giuliani was there in part at least to brief the president on his recent trip to hungry and ukraine where he met with ukrainians. some former officials who have previously provided him information, some of that polit...

I mean john pointed out they actually have to swear an oath to conduct impartial justice as part of the duty, if you will, of being a juror in this senate trial. unfortunately, you know, youre seeing this almost ritualistic approach to the impeachment. this is one of those situations where because washington presumes it knows the outcome both of the house vote and of the senate trial, you know, i think to a certain extent both sides are going through the motions here in a way that does a disserv...

At the beginning of the impeachment process, the evidence is so clear of offenses so grave, the opposition voters will reluctantly admit to themselves, they had to do it. otherwise you have a partisan impeachment, which will tear the country apart. >> laura: where did those people go? particularly along party lines, for the first time in history. the other first, democrats were constantly tripping about extortion, obstruction, bribery. in all measures of any crime they could think of. >> the mou...

Senator. this senator ran for office to do something good for the american people. on the other hand, one of my colleagues that said, whatever is done becomes the new norm, and so i think the way that democrats have so abused this impeachment process creates the case in the future if there is a democr democratic president with a speaker of a different party, then maybe that-- maybe that president should be worried not because theyve done something wrong because of a political opportunity. becaus...

>> the house has moved quickly through the impeachment process but some think the senate trial could be even briefer if thats possible. they cant tell us if it will be a long trial or short one. >> president trump: i didnt do anything wrong so i could do long or short. ive heard mitch and lindsay, i think they are in agreement on some concepts so i will do whatever it takes. >> the president may be indifferent today but not yesterday but in strategic terms, whats a better approach if youre the w...
