Way this is going to end in anything less than an acquittal when the republicans control the senate. the thing that is fascinating to me, schumer in 1999 said i dont think witnesses need to be called in the senate. now he wants to call witnesses. pelosi-nadler, schiff, they talked about bipartisanship. the only thing bipartisan calls against impeachment. you wont see a republican vote for impeachment but democrats peel off and vote against impeachment, a couple of them. the only thing bipartisan...

Bolton. the witnesses schumer is asking to hear from were asked to appear before the house but did not. >> two weeks ago i went to mcconnell and said im willing to start talking about it. he didnt talk to me or ask to talk to me. he starts spinning out his own theories talking to the republican caucus and then saying he will do just what the president wants. so we put this out so we could set up the ground rules for a fair discussion. i hope we can come to an agreement about a fair trial. >> com...

At schumers news conference. we are waiting for this to get under way, what do you expect? >> we expect chuck schumer to kind of run through what this memorandum was like that he sent to the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell yesterday as to what his demands are for a senate trial. he laid out some calendar dates that may be starting on the sixth with housekeeping bringing over the chief justice and swearing and the senators and jurors on the 7th of january and then getting to the house mana...

Completely cut out of the house process. it was recorded none of the usual courtesies of rights that have been given to presidents accused of such things in the past. the republicans were not allowed to call their own witnesses, so i think that mcconnells interest is in making sure that the white house feels that what does happen in the senate does accord with past practice and that they are given their say. >> dana: mcconnell and apparently he has said that he is ready to sit down and talk? loo...

Reached in 1999 with regards to not agreeing on witnesses right away, but having votes on those later. those are two very different processes. and schumer is bucking the 1999 process. >> dana: so people who were there on capitol hill whether you are a staffer or i was there in 98, but if you were paying attention then, you could basically take the memory is no man put it on the other side of each other, and they were saying different things back then then they are now, what do you think about th...

Zelensky, 9 90 house democrats already voted to impeach democrat and donald trump, they previously voted to impeach donald trump. so it is comical that they would pretend that they went into the hearing with any objectivity at all. >> dana: we are waiting to hear from senator schumer, the leader of the democrats in senate. likely to be a trial in the senate paid he will lay out some demands. for who he wants to see called up as witnesses. what is the obligation, and if it is a party line type of...

Are reporting begins with breaking developments in the impeachment inquiry and president trump, the house prepares to vote this week just moments ago, the top democrat in the senate chuck schumer talking about what he hopes to see in the senate trial including subpoenas for witnesses as well as documents. >> i have not seen a single good argument about why these witnesses should not testify, or these documents be produced, unless the president has something to hide and his supporters want that i...

Witnesses, he says that they have the best knowledge and they are hoping for some documents as well. he took several questions, and chad pergram was there asking one of the questions, the fox senior producer on capitol hill. chad, he says that mcconnell says he is wanting to sit down and talk, how do you think that conversation will go? >> i would expected to be fairly contentious, because mcconnell and schumer do not agree on much of anything. but im going to point out something that is very ke...

Security adviser. another one is mick mulvaney, the chief of staff to the president, also the head of omb. mike at duffey who works at omb and robert blair, senior adviser to mulvaney. back with me is peter, julian and jessica. julian, you served as minority counsel during the clinton impeachment and i want to remind our viewers of that. when you hear the argument that senator schumer is making to call live witnesses and the argument against it -- one of the reporters mentioned trent lott, sayin...

Fair than he normally could otherwise because of mitt romney or susan collins. >> exactly. he needs 51 votes to decide upon the rules governing the process and we have at least two or three moderate republicans who are interested in actually having a trial it would seem. so he needs them to come on board with the process. >> let me read to you something from larry tribe. hes citing schumers proposal to mcconnell and tribe argues that if mcconnell rejects these reasonable ground rules and insists...
