Giuliani should have some real concerns. >> and under the rule of law, what are the limitations here for attorney-client privilege? does that defense now become inadmissible because rudy giuliani was not functioning as a business agent, and not a lawyer? >> the attorney-client privilege applies in very narrow circumstances. for example, you must be acting as an attorney. if youre doing something else, acting as a private state department official, or a lobbyist, or something else, theres no priv...

Idea. i think along the way they have done things that have been hyper partisan that drained trust out of the process. and caused republicans to question the process itself. so i think they made interesting points but i dont think they got to a place with any of the witnesses or any of the hearings where a republican would say i have heard enough and im coming to your side. herds speech today i predict is what youll hear out of republicans on the house and senate. varying degrees of discomfort. ...

Court system its akin to is a grand jury. how do you think the democrats did prosecuting their case in. >> i think they did a good job given the limitations they had. remember the most important witnesses and virtually all of the relevant documents were blocked by the white house and administration from being released. but i think what they need to do now is what max was talking about, and this is part of the grand jury process where a prosecutor would make his or her arguments before they vote....

And so where the members of congress are, i think, is whether you think this is impeachable or not. and whether you want your guy out of power and whether you think a vote against the president is going to get you kicked out of power. at the end of the day where we are is this is about power. this is about the president trying to stay in power. this is about the members of congress trying to figure out how they can stay in power. and at the end of the day thats what this is about. thats what it ...

Think a vote against the president is going to get you kicked out of power. at the end of the day where we are is this is about power. this is about the president trying to stay in power. this is about the members of congress trying to figure out how they can stay in power. and at the end of the day thats what this is about. thats what it comes down to -- >> its always been that. >> everything else has been swept away. >> it was awl always going to come down to politics because its a political t...

>> neil: executives horowitz and others who had a very bipartisan level headed approach from this whole thing from the beginning i believe was he an abomb that oba appointee. >> he may have started off under obama. im trying to remember. the inspector general is designed to be objective and the voice from the outside about the conduct of the inside there are constitutional limitations. they are not necessarily the best of the best when it comes to trial lawyers. they will dont have a lot of expe...

That used in the can use regardless if its 3 years have passed in 5 years have passed i mean wouldnt the deposition be just as good today as it was 9 years ago as long as the statute of limitations has run out. thats a very fair point and the statute of limitations knock visually right out but you would expect that the witnesses would be cool to give oral evidence we would expect that they would be cross-examined and that perhaps is more difficult but maybe thats another point i dont think it is...

They had to kick off a member, bring him in so he could sit there and have moments like that, which you completely crushed today. jim jordan had nothing to say back to that moment. and of course obviously its donald trump who started all of this. >> well, thats right. jordan is a performer, and what he does is incredible bluster. he speaks so fast i get a headache and i cant quite keep up with it. but when you peel it back, whats he saying? and usually its nothing related to the central question...

Of limitations, and i know the trump administration has gotten used to a fake attorney general who doesnt look at and investigate when theres wrongdoing by members of the executive branch. but this is five-year statute of limitations. and ill tell you, lawrence, any attorney general -- i dont care if theyre republican or democrat -- will look at this and be, deeply, deeply concerned. theyd look into this and look into it even if the president told them not to. thats what holder did for example i...
