To prevent mueller from looking at his personal finances. the question isnt whether hes committed felonies and whether theyve been well documented because all these things are open and notorious. the question is do we have the political support in the country so that wed have not only the legal right but the political capacity to remove this president. we dont have that support yet. and i dont think well have it unless new information is presented to the american people. just because hes crossed...

Misdemeanors. many felonies. he violated section 1512 b-3 of the criminal code when he threatened comey in order to protect flynn. he violated it again when he fired comey in order to derail the investigation of the russian involvement in our election. and he did it a third time when he threatened mueller in order to prevent mueller from looking at his personal finances. the question isnt whether hes committed felonies and whether theyve been well documented because all these things are open and...

Perhaps the mueller report isnt going to be as damning as many on the left hopes it is. and so if everybody is bapging an impeachment drum and the mueller report comes out and it doesnt prove collusion with russia or anything of that sort, meaning donald trumps not charged with felonies, then it may not be the issue for the democrats in 2020. it would be more about trumps incompetence than getting into an impeachment proceeding, say, in the fall of 19 when were running right into iowa, new hamps...

Douglas, historically, has there been a reluctance to impeach the president based on politics? am i forgetting similar comments from newt gingrich maybe for example? >> well, you know, i think whats happening for nancy pelosi she just saw what happened to bill clinton. that was in her own lifetime. clinton got impeached by congress. got booted to the senate. he survives and he became a folk hero rising up to, you know, high 70s in public approval after he was impeached. so i think for pelosi fro...
