Things, you know, in the committee process with the courts not trying to distract themselves with this, you know, bobble of impeachment that so many of them clearly want to do, but would suck up all the oxygen for everything else in the political world. i think that argument doesnt go away. its just the stone walling from the white house and from the administration on every little thing made it so difficult to do any of that oversight they are almost left with no choice at this point. >> certain...

Pushed him over the edge and he decided to cancel this meeting. >> but yet, he still allows those democratic leaders to come all the way down to the white house, right? they met for half a second and then he left and rolled right out to the rose garden. so how exactly did this go down when he first walked into that meeting? >> well, pelosi and schumer and the president have laid it out pretty -- in pretty vivid detail yet again. the president walked into that room, as furious as he appeared a fe...

And lose your tire or your rim, is that because trump wont do it? is it because he wont do it? >> well, you know, i dont know if he made this up. if he thought this through and he had nancy and schumer meeting with him to talk about infrastructure and making a commitment for $2 trillion and all of that, because he knew he was going to try and use it to back them off of further investigations. he may have thought this through. i dont know, but you are absolutely right. we need infrastructure repa...

Speaker, the efforts to investigate him, holding officials in contempt of congress and the democrats having the meeting to decide the way forward, too toxic a mix. even when the water is poisoned badly, that was too much, trace. >> trace: you know what struck me, chad? you talk about the animosity, what i noticed is, this is the third blow-up between pelosi and schumer and trump over the past 1 year, 1 1/2 years. there was no chuck and nancy. this is more serious. did you get that vibe? >> absol...

Such it is. here we are. annie karni, great reporting since this started happening this morning. this was your beat. what was supposed to happen today. when he said "i" word i thought of the reporting youve done around immigration, infrastructure week, and the backdrop its hard to hear anything above the din of impeachment. he could have been talking about any of those things. theyre all the spinning plates theyve been juggling. >> one thing that was supposed to happen when chuck schumer and nan...

Timeline, it was 11:15 the meeting was supposed to stattrt 11:14 is when schumer came in. i saw around 11:18 they were t setting something up inside the rose garden. as the president was keeping schumer and pelosi waiting, he was staging this press conference or this meeting where he went out and spoke to the press. i dont think we should quite call it a press conference. the question is, and i think this is incumbent on us to figure it out reporting wise is when did they decide to do it? what w...

Of some of the things that we weeks ago i was standing in this spot and you i and i were just did more than 2,500 talking about infrastructure and the optimism of the meeting. subpoenas qualified for, i let i said -- i said this is a complicated issue and when you heard both the speaker and the white house counsel speak for 30 hours, i have 19 special leader schumer refer to there is something weve heard over the course of the last 48 hours and counsel lawyers, 40 fbi agents, the white house and...

Impeachment? want the wrap in the hearings to stop? whats his game? >> chris, we talked about this before. i think its a mistake to look for a method in the madness. trump is not a strategic thinker. i dont think he has a long game plan. he doesnt know how to play impeachment as an election strategy. trump is realizing he hasnt guilt e built a coalition to get him close to a meaningful and expensive infrastructure bill throu through. so he doesnt have cards or bringing money to the table when ta...

Around to everyone what does the mobile report mean for the trump presidency now compared to what it meant yesterday for and today the battle lines have been redrawn and this is certainly shelf in the resolve all of the democrats i think it means that they have more meat essentially to dig into and boy they are certainly digging into it weve just heard from up pelosi and schumer in a joint statement and they have said ok looking at this its quite clear to see that the attorney general william bo...
