Mueller Stuff News Today

Out some hope that if indeed don mcgann does testify, and actually speaks rather than invoking either executive privilege for the fifth amendment, that they have an opportunity should there actually be some revelation that comes out, they want to reserve the right to be able to circle back and proceed with an additional article of impeachment. that being said, look, i do think that the american public already has investigation fatigue. that is one of the reasons why the mueller stuff was not inc...

Fit tomorrow at the hearing, so what kind of irrational, crazy statement is he going make tomorrow? what kind of new policy is he going to propose on the fly? all of this, to me, creates an incredible sense of urgency for why we need to put a halt to this behavior right now. now, whether that leads to impeachment, what articles we introduce and all of that, that remains to be scene. >> steve. >> congresswoman, its steve rattner. you made the point that the stuff around the mueller report really ...

The question you eloquently framed here, which i think is on many viewers minds, if you remember all the mueller stuff, is what is this, how is it different? and i would venture an answer in three ways. number one, the mueller underlying crimes, meaning the bad stuff, not the cover-up alleged afterwards, were all prepresidential. very hard to remove or impeach a president for things that happened before they became president. number two, it was all about basically what other people said, because...

States or by reporters here at the capital to engage with some of the really damning allegations on the house side, theyre resorting to, it was behind closed doors. there hand been a vote on the floor yet without being able to really engage the substantial. they dont want as one person described it, pour concrete over their ankles and get stuck. >> and you have a situation, democrats dont know necessarily which box theyre opening. it will be interesting to see the scope. republicans dont know ei...

The capitol to engage with some of the really damning allegations on the house side, theyre resorting to, it was behind closed doors. oh, there hasnt been a vote on the floor yet. without being able to really engage the substantial. they dont want as one person described it, pour concrete over their ankles and get stuck. >> and you have a situation, democrats dont know necessarily which box theyre opening. although the scope, it will be interesting to see what the scope says of this inquiry. rep...

Pullback, then you get schiff. >> melissa: next time he does a movie reference. moving on. >> harris: meanwhile, as we are awaiting a word from the president, politico is reporting that there is growing alarm among some republicans over how the white house is responding to the democrats impeachment push and what they say as a lack of urgency, all as a new poll shows a rise in voters favoring impeachment. first of all, david, i want to talk about who those voters are, because some of the polling ...

>> i think its an understandable directive. the judiciary committee has long been investigating many of the violations of the president, but this ukraine allegation is head and shoulders one of the most serious and urgent allegations that we have seen come out of this administration to date. and so i think its completely understandable that weve seen this. i think its an allegation that frankly has united more members of the party on impeachment than any other. and so for that, i think its an un...

Successor is, maybe the guy that sees him get impeached. >> right. thats the lack of guardrails, nicolle. we keep coming back to that but its just been a steady winnowing out of any figures in the white house or in the administration that can stand up to the president, tell him no, sir, i dont think you should do that, and try to keep him out of the self-inflicted harm. you know, we have seen cabinet secretaries come and go. any sort of powerful white house aides vanish. you know, are there a fe...

On ukraine? is it on obstruction of justice in the mueller report? is it on sdni? those will be tough decisions that get made out in the open, and those optics, the president will be having to catch up to. he cant control those decisions as theyre being made. he will be charged with articles of impeachment and i think its investable this president will be impeached. >> you know -- im sorry. >> this is where my brethren lawyers can make a mistake. the lawyers tendency, writing an article, like an...

Inqui inquiry. neblgs c next couple day, weve been hearing, the plan to be, the committees are going to submit kind of their best material from all their investigations to judiciary which is going to then turn around and package this into an impeachment package. and this is going to happen, we dont know how long this is going to last, obviously, could last months, could go much quicker, but the house democrats are there. i mean, they are doing this, and theyre moving rapidly and its worth noting...
