Hes putting in his report. its ease yesterday to hide behind a report and a gavel in the intelligence committee behind closed door hearings. >> its not going to be a nixon or clinton impeachment. this is a polarized impeachment process. >> i think you are right. but the public heard open testimony, not behind closed doors. but open testimony by state department officials and snation national security council officials state that this problem for the president happened. that pressure was put on u...
