Minority leader chuck schumer, their drive to try to rig the trial against the president i think is misplaced. this needs to play out in a fair and objective manner. when that happens, this president will be exonerated. griff: thats really the question, bill. when will it happen? do you believe that pelosi has a constitutional duty to ultimately be forced to hand them over or not? >> she realize thrs is not enough of article to turn them over to the house. he understands a fair process in the se...

Impeachment process went down. she realizes she has a political and legal problem by handing down these articles of impeachment that have no factual basis. this president should be reelected, not impeached. griff: so, bill, we have seen, obviously, democrats and some in the media. we played it in the last segment, have a problem with the murkowski criticism saying that you know, leader mcconnell and the white house should not be working so closely together. is that a fair criticism? >> i dont be...

Griff: congress may be out of session but the battle over impeachment on democrats defending calls for impeachment as impeachment moves towards the senate. how is the white house gearing up for their defense? lets ask former white house under president trump william mcginly. this is the first time you have spoken out on television since leaving the white house. what are your thoughts as pelosi holds the articles and criticism of mcconnell escalates. >> thank you griff for having me. at the end o...

Impeachment inquiry with the rule of law, you know, playing a major role. >> yeah. listen, i mean honestly, mayor, unlike the trials, the president was offered the opportunity to present a defense but refused to do so. its not even close to what happened in salem. >> i mean the whole point of the witch trials is there was no rule of law, and youre talking about very marginalized people who were accused, these victims. they were women. they were elderly. they were poor. anyone who was different o...
