Page 8 - Majority Rules News Today

It is some of the best work youll see, frankly, in some ways of fictional accounts of what this actually is, but it actually talks about it. the problem here is a majority bent on finding something for this president. this is not a court of law, because, believe me, this would have been a long time ago. we wouldnt have gotten to this place. the rules have allowed to get to this place because majority rules in this place. >> in 11 months, the american people are going to vote on the next presiden...

Actually withdrew from the lawsuit. again, its not a matter of facts here, its not a matter of time. when we go back to it, i repeat this over and over again, put pressure on world leader. this pressure is amazing me because the guy who was supposed to be pressured denied it ever happened. on multiple occasions. one of his own members of the cabinet said we never talked about conditionality of aid. the only times they talked about this outside of presumption and hearsay, their main witness said ...

Here, it is not a matter of fact. when we go back to it, i cannot repeat this over and over again because it comes up, put pressure on the world leader. this pressure is amazingly because the guy who was supposed to be pressured did not it ever happened. on multiple occasions, that we never talked about conditionality of eta. the only time that they talked about this outside of presumption and hearsay, presumption and hearsay. the main witness said, thats what i presume. when he actually asked t...

>> congressman, thank you so much, sir, for being with us. i appreciate your time this morning on what i know is a busy morning. >> thank you. >> let me bring in the folks with us throughout the morning. maya wiley, an msnbc legal analyst, chuck rosenberg, a former u.s. attorney and senior fbi official, now an msnbc contributor, and eddie glaude, a professor at princeton university and msnbc contributor. who thought we would have been here this morning talking about all of this and a vote that d...

Looking at this being their chamber or forum in which they can stage a more forceful and effective defense than they have been able to stage in the house where majority rules. i think youre not necessarily changing hearts and minds because the evidence is out there. if were looking at writing the impeachment that means it will not change and it is clear theyre reviewing them from a different lens. so you will see more shots across the bow like this. there is no love lost between the democrats an...

By the house of representatives, when the republicans were in the majority. and exactly as they where if president nixon would have been considered for impeachment then. the majority rules in the context of the committee, the minority gets the right to ask for subpoenas. in the event that theres a majority, it goes to vote. everything that has taken place up to now has been scrupulously bipartisan. all of the close-door depositions taking place have given 50% of the staff questioning time to the...

Any investigation because of the house majority rules work the way they do. they are not the ones issuing subpoenas. but they are basically being given equal time. it goes either 45 minutes, 45 minutes, democrats, republicans or an hour and an hour and goes back and forth until everyone has exhausted what they want to ask of the witnesses coming in behind closed doors. that standard practice has not changed in the structure of how these impeachment depositions and interviews are going forward. r...

Inside the west wing. youd really want to know who was really putting their heart into that applause if youre doing a deep dive, fly on the wall reporting that garrett can do so well. >> nice transition, thank you, sir. mr. haake, house republicans preparing a vote today to censure house intel chair adam schiff. is that right? >> theyre going to try, craig, but this will get tabled by democrats quickly. in the house its all about majority rules. democrats will make sure this doesnt come to the f...

Inquiry, which is the president abusing his power for self-interest. and its all of that. that entire prism that republicans have to go to look at. >> every one of these fights connects back to whats happening at the moment and thats the impeachment drama. and everybody in the senate fully expects the house to impeach the president. so the question is, can you get to two-thirds in the senate? not even close. but if youre just talking about some procedural motions, anything that you need a majori...

>> the argument is made up. who cares if theres a vote? in the house the majority rules, the majority makes the rules. thats by the way how its going to work in the senate if it goes over there for a trial. mitch mcconnell will be in charge. that is how the system is set up. >> i want to break away from this live shot for a moment. on the politics, something interesting happened this morning, maryland governor larry hogan has come out in favor of this impeachment inquiry. hes a republican who ha...
