>> yes, and i hope very soon. all that needs to be done at this point is to make sure that the attorneys that represent the whistleblower get the clearances that they need to be able to accompany the whistleblower to testimony and that we figure out the logistics to make sure that we protect the identity of the whistleblower. >> in the meantime a brand new abc poll shows 64% of americans think that is this a serious problem, that trump encouraged the ukranian president to investigate his possibl...

From a democratic standpoint, it seems nancy pelosi, one of her reservations to date was how stubborn the polls had been. if this is a preview of whats to happen, does that affect how democrats react going forward? >> jeremy said this is different than any other impeachment because the issues are different. there are parallels, one is that 1998 when the republican house impeached democratic bill clinton, they did not have the public behind them. the numbers were like this. they didnt have a majo...
