Start to backfire on the senate presidential candidates who need to be part of the impeachment process, they need to actually hear whats going on? i think it would be a very bad look if senator klobuchar, senator warren, senator booker didnt show up because they are campaigning in iowa. and after iowa comes new hampshi hampshire, south carolina, nevada, super tuesday. so, holding it up puts them in a strange position. but i think we also have to take a step back and realize, here is the deal. th...

Investigation that led to this impeachment. when we look at impeachment, we think it doesnt seal to be working right now. but when you go back and think about the clinton, andrew johnson, its always seemed somewhat messy, even broken. why? >> well, its hard to impeach a president. the gold standard i think for an impeachment process is what happened in 19 74. and there you had clear and convincing evidence of the presidents involvement in a criminal conspiracy. in addition, you had a lot of evid...

Possibly incriminating evidence come out? >> thats a possibility. were in a holding pattern anyway for these two weeks. so if she feels the holding back of naming the managers for the impeachment process and not sending over the articles gives her time, gives chuck schumer time to negotiate a deal that will let there be more witnesses in the senate, the then thats a potential leverage that she can try to use. i think it really depends, though, on what the president ends up doing, because youve g...

House speaker nancy pelosi is under fire today for refusing to sending the articles of impeachment to the u.s. senate. gop senator lindsey graham is now calling the decision unconstitutional. >> shes taking a recking ball to the constitution. this is the latest in a series of constitutional train wrecks orchestrated by nancy pelosi. during the impeachment process, the president was not allowed to have counsel presenting during the intel committee. he could not call witnesses on his behalf. he co...

>> the time for discovering this and the time for litigating all this was in the house during the actual impeachment process. what the house is effectively asking the senate to do is to do their homework for them. the house did not take the time to go to the courts and pursue the witnesses and information that they say they want. the executive branch in every administration resists the congress. the congress then has an avenue to so f thlve that and go to co. they didnt want to wait for that, so...

You and i can talk about this every week. >> and we do. >> there have been almost 100 untruths in the last two weeks. you call out the lies when they are lies. that was a lie about the impeachment process. and you get to the core, get to the facts. weve got two things happening here. one is weve got an impeachment and a trial, which has not determined that donald trump is guilty but is based on hard evidence, documents on 17 former current and former u.s. officials. it goes before the senate pos...

Mueller was right to paint a somewhat ambiguous picture. and ambiguity wasnt enough for me to call for impaecht. >> integrity and accountability. >> reporter: trumps efforts to pressure the ukrainian government, however, are different. >> its a country i think with tremendous potential. >> it appears that acting as the president, not a candidate, using the power and machinery of the united states government, he threatened to withhold taxpayer funds for his personal political gain. that is the de...

These funds. we reached out to the white house. the budget office says theres no use linking the two things, that theyre not related. but this is really giving fuel to democrats. let me tell you why. because that e-mail came from a trump appointee, his name is michael duffey. he works at the office of management and budget. hes one of the people that democrats have said they want to hear from in an preveimpeachmen trial. you heard chuck schumer talking about why they wont present these witnesses...
