leaving. joining me now is democratic senator of virginia who s also the vice president of the senate intelligence committee. thanks for being here this morning. thank you. let me get your reaction to the resignation a few days ago. what do you make of that. well, it is a consistent pattern we see of bill barr not acting as attorney general, protecting our whole country. he s acting for the most part simply as an agent for donald trump and this investigation i feel like has added an odor to it the whole time. i don t know what durham will find or not but i would point out that you know, i wonder if he s going to then investigate the bipartisan intelligence committee because we came out 14-1 with a document in much more detail than mueller aligns the connections between russia and trump. i know it s deep in the weeds and complicated but for the american people, in two sentences what are the conclusions of that report? well, we leave it to the reader to draw their own
lifetime in terms of what their duty is and what they re being compromised by. what happens next, we ll watch. but they have a lot to explain, the republicans if they ignore what s the obvious. well, we shall see. this is our breaking news here. house democrats wrapping up the final day of their case against president trump, arguing that he abused the power of his office. he obstructed congress and their investigation. this is cnn tonight. i m don lemon. thank you so much for joining us. impeachment managers laying out an extensive case that the president of the united states obstructed congress, flagrantly defying subpoenas and warning that if a president can obstruct an investigation by congress, the power to impeach, the remedy provided by the constitution, will be gone. lead impeachment manager adam schiff delivering what you could call a prebuttle of the president s defense. i leave you to your own judgments about the president. i only hate what he s done to this cou
whether you like the president or you dislike the president is immaterial. it s all about the constitution and his misconduct. if it meets the standard of impeachable conduct as we have proved, it doesn t matter whether you like him. it doesn t matter whether you dislike him. what matters is whether he is a danger to the country because he would do it again. and none of us can have confidence based on his record that he will not do it again because he is telling us every day that he will. so, even though it wasn t mentioned by the managers, adam schiff and all the others, as he was making his closing, there was a story breaking that has major relevance not only to this trial but the central idea of whether or not these senators know what they need to know. what is the story? it is proof of this president s perfity, tape of him reportedly talking to lev parnas who was working with rudy giuliani, part of the trump inner circle when it comes to ukraine. and they are having a
tweets something like that. really is sad. don t you think? yeah. it s pathetic. as my argument went tonight, he has to be this way. he will not win if he s not this way. he has nothing else to offer. he doesn t have anything to capture the imagination of hopeful america. he s not a bridge builder. no couth, no dignify? i don t have to insult him. it s the truth. he has to have people upset. i m not trying to insult him. to do something like that, you don t have class. that s not insulting that s the truth. well, i would say look, either way, this is what works for him. saying i appreciate what you re saying and i don t disagree but you have every right to say it i wish you well. doesn t work. it keeps people i m not sure which way i want to go. if i say you said that to me? you re the worst. and people like you, don lemon, are the enemy. am i playing to race or identity, media, he doesn t know. it s good for him. the more angry for the best reasons. he can t go
