Judge. he has national security experience, he was on the fisa court. hes not been -- so hes in a position he can actually -- >> cynthia -- there we go. >> i think, you know, while definitely the department of justice needs to appeal to the 11th circuit, and they may stay everything that judge dearie is going to do. she has not addressed the law that the warrants were based on and shes not dealing with the whole obstruction issue or frankly the declassification issue. so one of two things is goi...

Coaching. legally, arguably, it is kind of an obstruction issue. i mean, the impeachment wasnt a court trial. but that kind of coaching really, again, reveals whats really going on with what trumps trying to do then. if he is telling him say these things because we can still stop the election results, that really is part of the conspiracy to obstruct congress and to have this insurrection. you know, and going to the point that ryan made about the enforcement issue, it is hard for congress to tak...

Very good thursday morning. im jim sciutto. >> im poppy harlow. congressman matt gaetzs legal troubles may have just gotten a lot worse. the department of justice is investigating the florida republican for a potential attempt to obstruct justice. sources tell cnn that investigators were told gaetz and an associate discussed a plan to talk to gaetzs ex-girlfriend about the federal sex crimes investigation. >> shes a potential key witness in this. cnn has produced a report that gaetz is under inv...

We look at the obstruction issue. the president like every other past president has exerted executive privilege, they dont like it when there is a dispute between the legislative branch and the executive branch, that would be the role of the judicial branch which is to resolve disputes between the other branches of government but apparently they are in such a rush to do this that they didnt want to give the courts any time or they feared what the courts would decide. >> it is a thoroughly politi...

Obviously for don mcgahn he doesnt want to do that. hes waiting to hear how the courts ultimately decide. but what makes him so important is that he is one of the most prominent witnesses in the entire mueller investigation, certainly as it related to the obstruction issue. he spent 30 hours with mueller. so there is a lot of information that they think that he could provide. and they want this information because they say that it could help them in their process, certainly the impeachment becau...

Will coordinate with the presidents lawyers, they would be no difference between us on how to do this. you raise the issue on what if you have witnesses much like the president of prossers counsel may or may not decide they want to have witnesses. the case is so weak. we know how its going to end. nope chance the president is going to be removed from office but my hope is there will be no single republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment. sean, it wouldnt surprise me if we ...

You have witnesses much like the presidents counsel may or may not decide they want to have witnesses. the case is so weak. coming over from the house. we know how its going to end. nope chance the president is going to be removed from office but my hope is there will be no single republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment. sean, it wouldnt surprise me if we got one or two democrats. it looks to me over at the house the republicans seem to be solid and the democrats seem to...

Was doing that investigation and presenting it in the white house. i dont want to waste our time arguing about this, the fact is they were invited to participate in the judiciary committees processes through the house and they have not done so thus far. when it comes to the obstruction issue, the other articles of impeachment, congressman, given that these witnesses and these documents have been blocked and your body, congress, has the not only the authority but the constitutionally mandated dut...
