This impeachment process is historical. how do you want to be remembered as part of it? >> as part of it? >> no, i wouldnt be a part, i want to be remembered as part of the affordable care act. >> people might not realize that theyre protecting obama care was so important to you, you said that you quote would have been happy to go home if hillary clinton had won in 2016 and thus obama care would have been safe, so let me just ask you the next logical question, if a democrat wins in 2020, would y...

About how that strategy has been working for her so far and is this decision to keep control of it a good move in and of itself? >> i think when you have something both as historic as impeachment and something that encompasses so many different parts of congress, so many committees overlapping jurisdiction, you need to have direction come from the top down. otherwise its going to be chaos. so i think what weve seen has been a very deliberate and thoughtful approach coming to the pre thanksgiving...

Love for america, today i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. >> this moves us into some rarefied history. the order from the speaker sets up a constitutional show down between the branches of government. an hour before she spoke, there was this from the president. if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the senate and so that our country can get back to business. we will have schiff, the bidens, pelosi and many more testify and...

She was on the intelligence committee. she knew that iraq didnt have weapons of mass destruction, but she didnt think that amounted to a case for impeaching president george bush. i think she set that up very clearly yesterday. there was the compelling national security evidence on ukraine that led the democrats to feel they had to go through these impeachment investigations. but there have not been when she was in a similar position with george bush. this was not personal. this was not about a ...

Asked by the reporter, it was a question but a provacative question and it was an accusatory question. >> the logistical part of this is where we are, kurt. you wrote the speed of the democrats impeachment process could work against them. you saw the president tweet saying lets just get this over with. what do you think the benefit is of slowing down? whats your argument about the timing of this? >> well, one of the things that i thought was a little off base, during the pre thanksgiving hearing...

Not trump supporters. what about that section of independent -- or the people who are not sure whether he did something wrong or did not do something wrong? >> thats why i think this process is important and the fact finding part of it, especially, hearing testimony from key players who were there and who witnessed the chain of events and it is coming directly from the ambassadors involved, from the top national security officials, thats why i think that the flouting of the subpoenas by so many ...

Our heart goes out to all of them. this is a very important stage in the impeachment process, exactly what charges to bring. we know the president certainly is guilty of obstruction of justice, the mere fact that the white house issued statements to the press saying none of those -- at least some of those in the white house would not participate at all. thats obstruction. its really a question, do they stick to that? is treason an issue, bribery, the issue of even going back to the mueller repor...

Love for america, today i am asking our chairman to proceed with articles of impeachment. >> this now moves us into some rarefied history. the order from the speaker sets up a constitutional showdown between the legislative and executive branches of government. about an hour before she spoke, there was this from the president. if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair trial in the senate and so that our country can get back to business. we will have schiff, the biden...

The ukraine was the vehicle of the presidents action. asking the president of another country to make an announcement that he was investigating the presidents political opponent and withholding military assistance that was voted by the congress of the united states. and the president did so. this isnt about ukraine. this is about russia. who benefitted by our withholding that military assistance? russia. its about russia. russia invading eastern ukraine so sometimes people say, well, i dont know...

Michigan. senator, thank you for joining us. i know youre not a republican senator, but youre going to be a part of this impeachment trial if it gets to the senate. all signs seems to point that it will get to the senate. what do you know so far about how this is going to go. >> first its great to be with you and listening to your last segment one more time, it makes my blood pressure go up and its also greatly depressing because the president of the united states is unfortunately a national sec...
