Believe, according to the "washington post," he has exceeded 15,000 since he took office. its just one more bit of his messaging, the messaging we can expect throughout this process as the impeachment process leaves the house and heads to the senate, which is controlled by republicans. the question then, again, is how the republicans, each one who has to answer not only for themselves but to their constituents, treats this process and how they move forward. >> david jolly, to kims point, the rep...

They represent and they can have loyalty to a president that refuses them to take responsibility for holding him accountable. what were going to see now is there will be a senate trial and the president will probably not be removed from office and well probably be stuck with the fact that we have a country with a certain number of centers that represent basically two burrows in new york. its not just going to be trump, but any other president or any other leaders down the road that cant be held ...

House and frankly dangerous to this country. since day one, the democrats have made it clear that think want to move towards impeachment well before any of the accusations took place. what democrats dont recognize is a damage this will cause for our political institutions and americas trust for years to come. every american should be concerned speaker pelosi does not trust our citizens to let them decide who should lead our great country. this impeachment process is not focused on strengthening ...

>> i think perhaps he is. i think thats probably just a bit of what we can expect from his rally tomorrow night in michigan, which will be taking place at the very same time as the house may be voting on these articles of impeachment. yes, we know from the report that was released by the i.g. that the obama administration or anybody else spied on president trumps campaign. there were certainly mistakes that were made by the fbi, but in no way amounted to a spying campaign. that is just one of a ...

So when i vote mine, please dont imply im doing it for my political party. im doing it because its what i believe is right. i do believe i can defend both the president and the constitution of the united states, and i think thats exactly what i am doing. madam speaker, i cannot oppose this rule strongly enough. the process we saw leading up to it today was a complete charade. it was a closed process, an unfair process and a rushed process. it could only have ever had one logical predetermined en...

Standoff at this point. maybe theyll agree on something, but we dont know. the big issue is witnesses, and we have a poll now, a "the washington post" poll saying 71% -- 71% say that trump should allow his aides to testify in an impeachment trial. mitch mcconnell said its a political process. if its a political process it would respond to 71% of the public, wouldnt it? >> yeah, lawrence. but if we had a senate that was reflective of the public will theyd also pass gun control, theyd also pass im...

I think impeachment is both rare enough and i think alive enough wire that anything can happen at any point. i mean i know theyve agreed on the six hours of debate but none of the last hearings on impeachment have gone any way we expected them to either in terms of a time or 10er. so tomorrow, to me, feels very much like a black box. i know democrats think they have the votes to impeachment. but besides that, i dont have an expectation. >> drew, reported on the nixon impeachment process, and she...

Blanker or what some other members have said. theyre people who have served the country and they have decided they will vote yes, which means now the president of the united states will be impeached. the fact that its inevitable makes it no less historic. this is as mika laid out, 1868, 1998, and now 2019 when united states presidents have been impeached, and i think it will be quite a scene tonight in battle creek, michigan, with the president of the united states standing up at one of his rall...
