Impeachment proceedings. do you expect the legal team for this president to make some sort of a presentation or request witnesses? >> they havent said so, so far, but i think they probably will. thats my guess. but no, who knows? it seems sort of ridiculous that youre going to go through an impeachment process and the president whos been complaining that he hasnt been able to present his point of view, would not take the opportunity to present his point of view. >> okay, but then he cannot conti...

D.c. are democrats or republicans feeling a little more concerned right now? >> i think republicans are obviously concerned, because this is a two-part piece here. one is that the president has to survive the impeachment process both in the house where it looks like hes likely to be impeached and then in the senate, where its more likely he will survive the trial portion and not be removed from office. then again, in the election. so its really a two-test issue there. democrats have to worry, of...

By the same token i would argue senate republicans from swing states, maine, south carolina, also at great risk during this whole impeachment process. this cuts both ways. >> some trump supporters call the president the chosen one sent by god, weve heard, including secretary of energy rick perry. listen. >> i said, mr. president, i know people say, you said you were the chosen one. and i said, you were. >> congressman, do you think this is one reason many conservatives stand by trump? >> well, y...

Arrested for a terror attack. video shows the man being wrestled to the ground by the public on the northern end of the bridge before the police arrived and shot him. and there is a friday deadline for president trumps lawyers to decide if he will participate in the impeachment process. being told a little while ago you dont expect him to be participating in the process, and they are making hey out of the fact he will be overseas, conducting foreign policy while this is going on in washington....

And submit requests for specific witnesses. however, theres a rub to that. one, they have to participate. at this point in time you know well they havent said whether or not they will. two, they need to agree to whatever requests the committee brings their way. if the committee says we want an administration official to testify, weve seen no to that over the last two mosnths, jerr nadler has the right to remove or take away from of the rules laid out. a lot of different ddynamics. if the white h...

Will be different in the judiciary committee because i could see some americans out there saying are we going to watch this all over again. what can you tell us. >> the house intelligence committee had a different goal than what the judiciary committee. they were doing the fact-finding portion of the whole exercise and the judiciary committee will explain to the american people the constitutional grounds for impeachment, theyre going to put together all of the pieces and try to tell a cohesive s...

From russia it is very clear that with the president he is compromising our own national security so i hope we could get beyond this and recognize that we need to provide the tsunami for ukraine because theyre a key ally in our fight in that region of the world and stop intimidating the president -- the president of ukraine by telling him that unless he does investigations hes not going to get the help of the united states. >> and we were just talking a few moments ago about how the house judici...

The democrats have to make this case to the american people. the president is innocent until proven guilty. they havent come up with the smoking gun theyve been looking for and why theyre worried about the polls. another huge issue for them is this is going from adam schiffs committee to jerry nadlers committee. say what you want to say about adam schiff, the criticism that you have not heard is that adam schiff is unable to properly run his committee. he is very competent. he knows what he is d...

Field, still large, the issue of impeachment is not top of mind. not at all. heres a dispatch from our embeds in the field. >> here in iowa, democratic caucus goers have ample opportunity to ask any question they want of presidential candidates and impeachment is rarely one of them. >> many voters i speak with say the impeachment process is going to play out however it does back in washington. but when they go to see candidates here in living rooms and backyards in new hampshire, its not the fir...
