Mischaracterized It News Today

Tv expect to see entertainment and drama and not facts and findings. we saw a stark contrast today between a professional prosecutor and professional politicians. and now we have a choice to make. are we going to choose the facts or are we going to choose the drama? and i dont think any of that would have changed depending on the age of the prosecutor. >> josh, another way of putting some of this is the mueller report came out not attuned to the age of the internet. todays televised hearing was ...

I dont see, contrary to congressman speier earlier here, i dont see any momentum toward impeachment. i think that thing jeremy bash said earlier today is probably closer to true. i think the momentum is the other direction. and i think really when the history of this is written, and i want to say something about something you said, which is really important. you said this thing about how nancy pelosi could call and say summer recess is over, this is a national emergency. >> we forget thats in he...

Would not be any different. the teams findings would not be any different if he were 62 or 52 or 75. thats the reality. but sadly, people who tune in to tv expect to see entertainment and drama and not facts and findings. we saw a stark contrast today between a professional prosecutor and professional politicians. and now we have a choice to make. are we going to choose the facts or are we going to choose the drama? and i dont think any of that would have changed depending on the age of the pros...

Politicians. he always hated going up to capitol hill to testify. but i think it was a huge missed opportunity to educate the public about the vast enormous stakes that he actually found in his report, and none of the powerful points in his report really came through today. >> joyce vance, because these are human beings were talking about, i found myself thinking about his family and friends watching today and wondering what they made of it. this turns to what you made of it. do you think he did...

Saying about the speaker tonight she may be softening toward impeachment. investigations sparked by the mueller report are far from over. that much we know. don mcgahn, he of former white house counsel fame, remains at the top of the democrats witness list. mcgahn sat with mueller, youll remember, 30-plus hours. his name is mentioned 500-plus times in the report. most notably in this detail, volume 2, juns of 2017.

The very next step either tomorrow or friday is were going into court to enforce -- to ask for the grand jury material and to enforce the subpoena against mr. mcgahn. and thats particularly important because the excuses, and i wont call them reasons, the excuses that the white house gives for mcgahn not testifying, the nonsense about absolute immunity, et cetera, are the same excuses for all the other fact witnesses. and if we break that, well break the logjam. >> its not clear whether muellers ...

Findings. we saw a stark contrast today between a professional prosecutor and professional politicians. and now we have a choice to make. are we going to choose the facts or are we going to choose the drama? and i dont think any of that would have changed depending on the age of the prosecutor. >> josh, another way of putting some of this is the mueller report came out not attuned to the age of the internet. todays televised hearing was not quite attuned to the age of television. did muellers re...
