Use the "i" word. i think they recognize the political fallout. especially considering at the moment they dont necessarily have what they believe are grounds for impeachment. the fact of the matter is that even if the democrats had the votes in the house, they wouldnt have sufficient support in the senate to convict, so it would ultimately not necessarily produce any result other than swaying the court of public opinion. and i think a lot of this depends, of course, on what special counsel rober...

They dont have what are considered grounds for impeachment. even if the democrats had the votes in the house, they wouldnt have sufficient support in the senate to convict, so it would ultimately not necessarily produce any result other than swaying the court of public opinion. and i think a lot of this depends, of course, on what special counsel robert mueller eventually does recommend by way of potential charges in his report, but right now thats largely an unknown. i think both pelosi and sch...

Be willing to force a government shutdown over the issue. chuck schumer knows the mueller protection bill has bipartisan support. its sponsored not just by democrats but also by republicans, and jeff flake, who is an outgoing senator, so perhaps doesnt have as much influence, has called for the legislation to be brought to the floor. this is a pressure tactic by schumer and democrats to force republicans on the record at a time when their earlier arguments that there was no need for mueller prot...

Schumer are in the house had 39 higher than -- paul: had the little special bump. >> exactly. paul: that went away in the senate and went down 37. >> they negotiated that. so i think they -- paul: they dont want to vote for that again. the republicans dont want to vote for tax increase. >> i think thats right. corporate rate maybe for public works project, maybe probably make the argument, 25% is still competitive, though on the other hand i dont think democrats really care for paying for any ki...

The past spoke out about the investigation. nancy pelosi and schumer called for matthew whitaker to recuse himself. jay nadler said sessions firing fits a clear pattern of interference by the president. joining me now is senator chris coons. a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator, thanks for being with us. today you tweeted the president crossed a red line by firing sessions. doesnt the president, though, have the authority to fire anyone within his cabinet? >> anderson, he does hav...

Protected now that the president fired jeff sessions and named an acting attorney general who in the past spoke out about the investigation. nancy pelosi and schumer called for matthew whitaker to recuse himself. jay nadler said sessions firing fits a clear pattern of interference by the president. joining me now is senator chris coons. a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator, thanks for being with us. today you tweeted the president crossed a red line by firing sessions. doesnt the ...

Because schumer proves my point every day. if mueller was like an assistant u.s. attorney, a u.s. attorney, they wouldnt keep saying he is separate, protect him, he is different, he has to report to himself, effectively, that is why his appointment is unconstitutional, because it is supposed to go to the t senate d be confirmed, just a little nicety there that i wanted to mention, as well. in any event, the republicans had a very good night, they had a good night, quite frankly, because of the p...

Are not reducible comments. mr. whitaker is a fine person. he is completely independent. he knows about the administration of this particular case. i am delighted that supervision of this case has been taken away from deputy attorney general rosenstein in terms of his conduct. the democrats are doing what they always do: when they dont have anything else, they just start screaming and yelling. this is an embarrassment to them, but its going to continue. mr. whitaker is going to be just fine. >> ...

Immigration bill the president would sign and get through the senate and an infrastructure bill. two very important things for america. >> bill: legislate, dont investigate. >> they cant help themselves. they have a desire to investigate. they cant believe that donald trump is the president. they will go after everything from impeachment to pharmaceuticals to how is the president profiting from his hotel? i think right at the top of their list is they want to get their hands on the presidents ta...
