Pursue additional articles of impeachment against the president. the president is commenting on the current articles of impeachment, the one the house has already approved. he tweeted "pelosi gives us the most unfair trial in the history of congress and now crying for fairness in the senate and breaking all rules while doing so. she lost congress once, she will do it again." democrats are pushing for what they call a fair process in the senate. they want witnesses and documents as part of a tria...

Tax cuts, a booming economy for everyone. on and on it goes. good news for america but bad news for democrats. if you cant beat them, join them they say. well for pelosi and schumer and schiff and nadler, maxine and all the rest of the rotten corrupt crew theres a new version. if you cant beat him, impeach him. thats the historical context. thats why theres no shame in the impeachment except for the sick hateful democrats who couldnt care less about the real world or real peoples problems, who a...

There was disregard for hoy rule of law works, how authority works for accountability, but just how things operate in government. the idea of transparency, the idea of ethics, the idea of morals, all of that sought telephone window because were talking about a white house that has a complete disregard for rule of law and makes its own set of rules and own set of fax. >> its interesting. were talking about a little aspect to. this mitch mcconnell has a very different interpretation of what this p...

Witnesses and add them later or start with a plan to hear witnesses and vote not to hear them. senators can get votes on all of this. thats what senator schumer is talking about when he says that no matter how this kicks off, they can get later votes on specific trump witnesses. >> i will ask during the impeachment proceeding for a vote on whether mulvaney should testify and whether bolton should testify. any republican who thinks they can escape having to vote on this, no matter how quickly mit...

Possibly incriminating evidence come out? >> thats a possibility. were in a holding pattern anyway for these two weeks. so if she feels the holding back of naming the managers for the impeachment process and not sending over the articles gives her time, gives chuck schumer time to negotiate a deal that will let there be more witnesses in the senate, the then thats a potential leverage that she can try to use. i think it really depends, though, on what the president ends up doing, because youve g...

Majority leader mcconnell who is supposed to be in charge of the process that will dictate what that senate trial will look like. mcconnell saying more democrats is asking is on for more witnesses in the trial is because the house case is insufficient. nancy pelosi says she wants to make sure the trial is fair and ensure the procedures are not tilted in favor of president trump. schumer, the top democrat in the sn senate and mcconnell are still hashing out what that trial will look like but they...

Thats not going to happen. the question is are there enough to side with democrats to get some witnesses, some other procedural or rules, just some poke at the president and the republicans? >> there arent those votes right now, even though the public sentiment does seem to be in favor of allowing those witnesses to testify. in our washington post abc news polling that came out earlier, show that 71% of americans do want these administration officials who did defy calls for testimony at the hous...

Grisham. i have no idea where she is getting that. the white house wants to -- trump wants to call witnesses like hunter biden, wants to call the whistle-blower, et cetera. >> wouldnt she be getting it from him? wouldnt the president be saying, i want witnesses, get that out there? >> right. but you would also think the guy running it, mitch mcconnell, has been saying, we want to get this over quickly. apparently he has not been he convincing because hes been telling aides and allies, a, he want...

I think she can delay it as long as she wants. its interesting. shes putting trump in a very bad position. she knows it because its driving him insane, the idea that the house would impeach him and there would never be a senate trial to exonerate him. hes desperate for a senate trial. and i think pelosi knows that so shes holding all the cards right now. and mcconnell is pretending like, i dont care if we have a trial or not. this is your thing. and so its unclear whether mcconnell will capitula...

Think, huh. maybe there is more that the administration is holding on to, because, you know, as everyone has pointed out in this process, the white house and the executive branch turned over no documents. so this steady trickle of documents that were seeing coming out right now bolsters democrats case there should be witnesses and i could see schumer potentially, you know, standing at an impasse even longer with majority leader mitch mcconnell over this exact thing. >> all right. interesting. wh...
