republicans face is the president is his own messaging machine. he s sort of going to say whatever he wants to say. i do think it s wellad vooized to not attack senate republicans because they re going to be the jurors. giving them some space i think is important because there are some senate republicans who are in vulnerable races. they need to go their own way to win next year. there is some split between among senate republicans about, you know, pushing for a quick impeachment trial and who this process now really elongates it, makes it very lengthy and potentially difficult for those in vulnerable seats? yeah. i mean, there s all sorts of arguments about whether a quick or lengthy trial, is better, who it s better for. the timing is challenging. one thing is the longer it goes out, some democrats,
house is considering tony sayig and former florida attorney general pam bondy to handle impeachment communications and there are reports the president is circling back to familiar lawyers to help navigate the inquiry. yosusan karichio joins us. the white house is staffing up for an impeachment fight. i think at this point the democrats have their messaging machine together on capitol hill and the president is now considering putting together his own messaging machine to counter what the democrats are relaying each day as they bring in witness after witness into these closed door sessions. we in the public, we in the press and voters and the president s own team are not in the room hearing the testimony or hearing the cross-examination of the people who are being deposed. so all we re getting are what democrats and an occasional
