Think about this. the attack startled then. theyve continued right up until today. i want you to think about something. the individual who said the fisa process was fine, the dossier was fine, the russian investigation was fine. that same individual ran the impeachment process, same individual met with the whistle-blower, only guy who knows who it is for sure, and released the phone records of the presidents personal attorney, the phone records of a member of the press, and of a republican membe...

One argument is now youre making the judiciary co-equal will the executive. what should matter to people and why is it wrong? >> you would expect the president takes the constitutional process seriously. no president relish the thought of an impeachment battle, that is for sure. its perfectly open to presidents to defend themselves vigorously. the question is are they going to engage with the congress and recognize congresss power to people and address it responsibly by offering if you will acco...

That is the responsibility of the fbi as a result and the judiciary of the nation as well. if there is corruption, if there is something to see, then we should definitely see it, but i dont necessarily believe that the place to see it is in the senate. >> strong point. thank you very much, representative, for being with us tonight. >> thank you. >> thats an interesting take, that some of these things will continue to be investigated. its not all going to be over and done with in just in impeachm...

Actually took. it wasnt going about quarrelling with particular subpoenas or agreeing to cooperate but then sort of picking its battles, if you will, over particular testimonies or documents. it launched a broadside attack on the process. the white house counsel wrote an extraordinary letter saying the impeachment process in itself was unconstitutional, a sham and that the president wouldnt cooperate with it at all. to treat the presidents conflict with the congress as a relatively ordinary cour...

This. you resigned from congress. you were a member of the house over sight committee. an important part of the impeachment process. if you were there, at this time, what would be the most important thing to you? >> in terms how i vote or everything? >> how its being conducted. >> i think its really at this point it would be -- i know how i would vote. how does it move forward in the senate and ensure people understand what its about and its about values and the precedent we want to set for the ...

The white house. and that may persuade moderates in the senate and it may persuade moderate voters who are still watching this thing and theres still a group of people undecided on this. what schumer is trying to do, we may not -- he may not -- the senate may exonerate or acquit the president. but what schumer is doing is playing to a different court. the court of public opinion right now. >> if i could add, public polling shows about 67% of the country overall wants a fair trial. they dont want...

See here. so if youre a democrat youre like what the heck? this is not a normal sishs. on the kremlin front of course they love this. this is confusing the entire argument of what corruption is and what corruption isnt. giuliani and trump are helping them. >> you have these two indicted giuliani associates who were indicted for campaign finance violations, funneling money illegally to pro trump organizations. >> and may have wanted to talk here, essentially implicate some of the players. what i ...

Investigating next. >> congresswoman waters will you rule out impeaching trump again? >> let me just say that, you know, his comments are just, you know, comments of a frustrated individual who does not support impeachment and hes not only been on the air time and time again, ranting and raving about the impeachment process, and so i pay no attention to what he has to say. >> so, you know, republicans, though, to this point, they say that your party has been looking to impeach president trump wh...
