Against the president of the united states. >> sandra: is a president in any legal danger? >> tom: i think the president faces significant political danger in terms of impeachment although it seems unlikely that even if the house were to impeach him, he would actually be removed by the senate. i think that at this point the democrats are running a risk and what weve seen over the last few days is, number one, setting expectations at a level it seems unlikely. but its almost like a tolstoy novel ...

>> state polls are the only that matters. certain states that differentiates against the other. i think it matters how you win or how big you win and not if you win. if biden wins new hampshire or nevada then you are going crazy. i think i will always say the ball game in south carolina is the first test. 50% african-americans and most have the same demographic. >> so bill clinton lost eiowa ad he went to new hampshire. he w he was to come back here. it is about setting expectations. i think it ...

Of the process, look at the slow build necessary for nixon to finally end up resigning from office. this isnt going to just magically happen overnight. i think part of the problem has been with the democratic com strategy has been setting expectations that there is going to be some slam dunk, some moment where donald trump is just proven, definitively, once and for all to be a liar and to have done x, y, and z. it is not going to happen that way. it is going to be a slow build of public opinion ...

John hardwood, to you first, john. we know that the ag barr is reviewing is the mueller report trying to decide what hes going to share with congress. are democrats set too high an expectation bar what they expect to be revealed? >> i wouldnt say theyre setting expectations as much as making demands. barr doesnt have to release the whole thing. i think in substance, everything significant in the report that is not classified for national security reasons is going to come out before long one way ...

Doing this because it takes tim time. >> bill: not to exclude james. [laughs] the president flew halfway around the world again. twice in eight months. my hunch is chairman kim thought he was going to get something from this. if they pull the rug out from under him and they turned tail and fly back to washington, d.c., it was almost as if it was out here. if you talk about diplomacy, i think it has to be a bit of a stunner for them. >> probably because donald trump was setting expectations prett...

Economic sanctions on north korea. we know that is kim jong-uns number one goal to get relief from the sanctions that have crippled north koreas economy. these sanctions curb everything from north koreas ability to import oil and to his ability to import laptops. we dont know yet whether or not the president will put that on the table, but i will say, though, that i think its interesting how measured he has been in terms of setting expectations. the president, as we know, has a pension for hyper...
