Looking to make the same changing for beef processing and that is very serious. >> morgan, thank you very much for that report that does it for us this morning, stephanie ruhle picks up the coverage right now. >> hi there, it is monday, december 16th and there is a lot happening this morning. while you were sleeping house democrats dropped their massive 658 page impeachment report. the report that came out just after midnight argues that the president must be impeached "to protect the nation and...

Is the argument about the idea that the president is continuing along the path of the very same behavior that got him in trouble in the first place, with rudy giuliani being in ukraine. this report makes the argument that impeachment is the only real solution to what democrats see as this crisis. >> meanwhile, as you know, senator schumer there just sent this letter to senator mcconnell, saying that he wants a white house chief -- acting white house chief of staff, mick mulvaney, former national...

Acquittal. so what is the point? we have to ask ourselves of referring the articles to the senate where the fix is already in. at least impeach him in the house, record that for history, accept that as a certain accountability on the president, and then perhaps by withholding the referral to the senate, schumer and mcconnell can strike a deal where there are certain concessions for fairness of the proceeding, or perhaps you wait until the next spring or summer and see if theres more impeachable ...

Jury is literally talking to the defendants attorneys day in and day out. i just think in the best interest of the senate and of the american people, what we need here is a small number, four or more, of republican senators who go to majority leader mcconnell and say instead of simply coordinating with president trump, you should work across the aisle, try to get unanimity as what happened in the bill clinton trial. >> are you comfortable with a trial with no witnesses? >> look, theres lots of e...

President is going to be removed from office. my hope is that there will be a single republican who votes for either of these articles of impeachment. p2 does make sense that republican senators and white house counsel are planning to basically co-authored the agenda for the z impeachment and trial. expect senators are supposed to be jurors and process) solo democrats have been calling issue and staying that this is a problem essentially the mitch mcconnell news or 90 white house but at the same...

Withholding the referral to the senate, schumer and mcconnell can strike a deal where there are certain concessions for fairness of the proceeding. or perhaps you wait until next spring or summer and see if there is more impeachable conduct committed by the president of the united states. we know that congressional action is not a deterrent for the president. what happens if he engages in additional impeachable behavior? and hes already been acquitted by a senate under control of senate majority...

The jury is rigging it for the defense? so the speaker and leader schumer will have to sit back and think about what the best approach is. i still expect that once the house votes on it its going to be sent over to the senate, but theres no doubt that that interview a few days ago by mitch mcconnell on fox news really sent shock waves not just through congress but i think any american listening to that realizing that this is supposed to be an impartial process and hearing that guy basically say ...

Determining the procedures that will be used in the united states senate during this trial, and he raises serious questions whether he will be objective in carrying out the responsibilities of the senate or whether hes going to try to stack the deck in favor of the president. >> now, to further make that point, hes a key figure in procedures and unlike when we saw the trial of william jefferson clinton, whether the majority leader and the minority leader worked together in a joint fashion, were ...

Process is unfair, the american people are seeing polling that shows overwhelming opposition to impeaching the president. there is a rush to get it over with and throw it over to the senate. tony: of witnesses, listen to what mitch mcconnell had to say. >> the case is so weak coming from the house, we know how it will end, no chance the president is going to be removed from office. it wouldnt surprise me if we got one or 2 democrats. heather: if it passes the house the yes vote thursday or frida...

Chamber with no recording devices behind closed doors to try to hash this out. the relationship between the majority leader and minority leader was a little better than than it is now between mcconnell and schumer. as chuck referenced, its really the rule of 51. whatever 51 senators agree to dictates questions of whether or not to entertain a motion to dismiss, to table the articles of impeachment even before a trial, whether or not to entertain witnesses. the chief justice does play the role as...
