Offenses under the constitution. >> so even when the president said or was asking china, and he said it in front of the cameras, live cameras, you know, china, look into the bidens. and today steve scalise, the senator, was asked about that, and he said, everyone knows the president was being rhetorical. as you, a republican running for president, how do you distinguish yourself and not appear as though youre on board with what democrats are saying, because that is a strategy of republicans? how...

Earlier in the summer, like in july, they authorized subpoenas for keith davidson, who is one of the attorneys who was involved in this. also stormy daniels herself. also karen mcdougal. also david pecker, dylan howard from ami and the "national enquirer." as far as weve been able to figure out here on the staff of my show, those subpoenas while they got a lot of attention at the time, they were authorized by the committee, but as far as we can tell, they have not yet been served. those people h...

For keith davidson, who is one of the attorneys who was involved in this. also stormy daniels herself. also karen mcdougal. also david pecker, dylan howard from ami and the "national enquirer." as far as weve been able to figure out here on the staff of my show, those subpoenas while they got a lot of attention at the time, they were authorized by the committee, but as far as we can tell, they have not yet been served. those people have not actually received those subpoenas. is that true? >> tha...

Outside the four corners of the report. >> i dont know. >> this could increase pressure for impeachment. >> it could. some have been holding back, waiting for that to exactly happen. 95 votes on this impeachment resolution that had nothing to do with obstruction of justice but the president, according to al green, being a racist had 95 votes. actually many more democrats support that. democrats have decided they want to limit the questions, limit the areas of focus to five potential obstruction ...

Misdemeanors, they should start an inquiry. is that decision being held up by fear of political fall out? and should that matter? the chairman of the dnc is here. welcome back to primetime. always good to have you, sir. >> great to be with you, chris. >> so i get it. i get it as a political calculation. >> lets go slow and see when the people come along. lets see when theres consensus but is that doing the job of congress? nowhere in the constitution does it say if popular then do this. this is ...

Congress? nowhere in the constitution does it say if popular then do this. even nancy pelosi keeps saying things clearly in line with what would require that duty. >> well, chris, i had the privilege of working at the justice department for over a decade and i prosecuted a lot of obstruction cases. and i know the statutes pretty well. what you have to do is gather the facts. i understand the sense of urgency that people feel. this is the most dangerous president in american history. theres such ...

Most of his public appearances, he simply read from a script yesterday, which tells us that those were very informed differences. and he could have been talking generically out in the ether about obstruction cases, but he didnt. he made it very concrete, very personal to this president, who is, after all, the only subject that they appear to have considered for obstruction, and he used the language when, meaning that in his sense there were cases in this investigation where prosecutors did not g...

I listened to the words of bob mueller and it really makes me appreciate sort of the clarity and the directness that bill barr approached this issue. look at, obstruction -- reaching conclusions -- and let me put my prosecutors have back on for a while, i do that for a long, long time -- prosecuting obstruction cases are very difficult. its not like you got 10 kilos in the trunk, okay? arrest, indictment, conviction. obstruction cases are very, very difficult. factually and legally. bill barr an...

Substantial and comprehensive debate for the public over what this president has done. >> so theres no smoking gun, as far as you can tell? >> depends what you call a smoking gun. i talked to a former federal prosecutor the other day who successfully prosecuted dozens of obstruction cases, and he said he never had in any of those cases as much evidence as the mueller report. >> let me go at this a different way. hakeem jeffries says why should we begin impeachment if were winning? do you think t...
