But the voices matter. this is about energy. there is a potential chance here youll have no witnesses in a trial. as silly as that is to anyone who considers justice fairness. >> in my opinion the senates responsibility is to weigh the evidence for the commander in chief, for this president. it is not their responsibility to dig into these other areas. 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, ...

Might call it confessing, maybe even bragging. in one interview giuliani said he needed to get the former ambassador to ukraine out of the way because she was going to make investigations into the presidents rivals difficult for everybody. thats a quote. and then in a new interview overnight, giuliani sort of implicated his boss. he said he briefed president trump a couple of times earlier this year about removing ambassador marie yovanovitch, and the president said basically turn it over to sec...

Vigorously over others. this administration took the extraordinary position -- nixon didnt take this position, clinton didnt take this position, that it would have nothing whatsoever to do with the impeachment process, it simply swept it off the board entirely and that is what i think led to article 2 and distinguishes this impeachment case from others in the past. >> the idea of impeachment fundamentally was meant as a process where left and right come together because they are overwhelmed by w...

Decided to plead guilty. >> a lot of things have changed. some remain the same. this is one of the loose ends of the mueller investigation. it will be really interesting to see what is resolved today. overnight, ruths bader ginsburg speaking out about the impeachment process. the 86-year-old says she hopes there will be good people on both sides of the aisle to say lets stop this dysfunction. justice ginsburg also believes if the senator reveals bias, he or she should be disqualified from the ...

Been -- everybodys opinion has been baked in. people saw what happened in the house and the trial wont change anybodys mind. >> we dent know that, first of all. i dont know that really matters. theyre not called to do a trial to change peoples minds but to get the best facts and make a determination about whether the president should be impeached. it seems like a reasonable thing to want to have. to say -- to blame democrats for not going to court to get these people is crazy making when they co...

Months. theyll have said facts dont matter. doesnt matter what the president said. you have rudy giuliani running around say hey, i cant believe you dont believe were guilty. were guilty. were guilty. look at me. look at me. trust me. we climbed all over the place. and that could have -- and i think will have an impact on republicans, particularly as it moves to the senate to these vulnerable senators in colorado, maine, north carolina, and i think weve spent way too much time focusing on the pe...

Years here. we pulled our hair out with this. we had everything else and we were constantly being stonewalled and stopped, had to actually issue subpoenas which finally the courts did rule, ask youll think this is your problem. the courts ruled many years later that attorney general holder did violate not giving the information out, and that was actually done. it was many years later, and again, your clock can cand cale is a terrible master, but you promised it. the other thing is we talk about ...

This impeachment process is boiling down a battle between public opinion and court of law. you see republicans and democrats take two different sides. everything else is in line with what trump tends to do when hes in a time of crisis, impugn his opponents, muddy the waters and lash out. this letter comes at a time when the president is realizing he wont get what he wants when it comes to a senate impeachment trial. he wont get the exoneration. well hear more directly from him. this is a preside...

Impossible as it can be made. im not sure, in light of this letter, that we could get a unanimous consent request with regard to these proceedings that break for a cup of coffee, never mind determine the rules of engagement. so i point that out. in terms of process, i just want to, again, state for the record, because i think its important, that i think the house is engaged in a fair impeachment process. democrats and republicans have had equal opportunity to participate in the months along impe...

Prove that he committed honorous services fraud or crimes, all the things he could be charged for, we could only look at the prosecute -- prosecution he was charged with. my friend said there were no fact witnesses. this was based on the report that was delivered to us by the house committee on intelligence. thats a play on words, too. there were 17 fact witnesses who appeared before the house committee on intelligence, the house oversight committee, and the house foreign affairs committee. the ...
