Page 4 - Inquiry Process News Today

In public people coming later know what was said. they are doing it for that reason, the president is indeed indicted or impeached, he would see what that testimony is but they are opening up importantly to people like mitt romney, let there be transparency. >> i care a lot less about mitt romney than i do about 63 million americans who voted for donald trump who want to see this. it is not a grand jury, it is the beginning of an impeachment process they are trying to undo an election and 63 mil...

Was subjected to impeachment, there was a special counsel who held hours and hours and hours of private interviews before there were public hearings on the facts gleaned. since there is no special counsel, this is the inquiry phase similar to what mr. starr did some time ago, but i do agree, and i probably would share some of the views of my republican colleague, mr. burn, that were all better off when this is a public conversation and we focus on the facts. i do think there is a bet of hyperven...

Disturbing to democrats and republicans. >> well certainly mr. taylors comments were disturbing, i encourage people to read the 15 pages of his testimony, theres a lot of disturbing information there, i dont know whether thats impeachable, up to the american public and up to the congress to decide. we had andy mccarthy thinking on if you think of the worst quid pro quo it may not be impeachable. still, 63 million people who voted for mr. trump who think that the people should decide. youre the r...

All right. so the message from republicans today for president trump on impeachment -- do what bill clinton did. senators urging the president to focus on governing while the inquiry process continues to unfold. savvy advice or foolish thinking? certainly not happening. the president gave us his response to that today, used the ugliest words to date for his own party. lets bring in anthony scaramucci. we all know him from the white house and from friend of show. anthony, thank you. they are scum...

Violation of the oath of office. so theres no direct criminal statute for that. that is left up to the interpretation of congress. if congress says this is an abuse of power or this is a direct violation of your oath, then there doesnt need to be a criminal statute. they can move forward with articles of impeachment based on the constitutional requirement and the language set forth as high crimes and misdemeanors mpl. >> how are they going to decide whether they have enough to reach a decision f...

Problem and was trying to table his effort, trying to end it as quickly as he could. its also that his job was voluntary. his full-time job is executive director of the mccain institute. he was al ally and protege of john mccain. he has no closeness or aftfinit to president trump. the case hes making in this deposition is not beneficial to president trumps bottom line politically. now that it is 11:06, at 11:05, flbs news was given this first from the office of laos republican leader kevin mccar...

That will hurt him, i think, but the really bigger problem i think running for president, they want to be talking about health care. they want to be talking about whats wrong with donald trumps, you know, economic agenda. they want to be talking about education. all of the energy will get sucked into washington right now, and not iowa or new hampshire or south carolina. >> thats another landmine to navigate, yeah, finding ways on the campaign trails in debates to bring the story back. that will ...

In the old days when we were smart, right, with spies and treason, right, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now. >> so we now know that the chairman of the foreign affairs, intelligence and congressman elijah cummings the chair of one of the committees that you sit on, the oversight committee, theyve called those comments reprehensible, witness intimidation and an attempt to obstruct congress impeachment inquiry. in your mind should those be added as articles of impeachment sh...

Say they want to lean in on. in particular, health care what she says is, "look, im in favor of the inquiry process." lets talk about what the differences. thats the investigation. it opens up different lanes for democrats to get their hands on different types of information. it is not necessarily true the impeachment. why does that matter, chad? go its important because they have it both ways. they can say to the left wing base in the democratic party, "look, we are doing something on impeachme...

The next administration. whatever you are asking for now, just make sure you are satisfied with it when the other party is in office. >> harris: i think this is potentially very politically-risky for democrats. just like when the mueller report came out and didnt have any red arrows pointing to a smoking gun. and the smoke might have been some steam. this is now, if they are smart, they will wait for the ig report to come out. they will wait for some more facts to come out. then if you potential...
