Interesting that senator schumer said this morning he didnt think conversations in and of themselves would be problematic. it is the willingness in schumers words and mcconnell to do kind of whatever the white house wants him to do that he would find most concerning. i can tell you that based on conversations with one of the senior administration officials i had today, the white house is working, already got its eye on the ball. past this week to what might happen in a senate trial. as you and j...

Thursday. >> everything i do during this im coordinating with white house counsel. there is no difference between the presidents position and our position as to how to handle this. >> is this really going to be a trial thats led by the defendant in essence? >> yeah. it is pretty ironic there given that on the house side the number one argument from house republicans from day one has been that the process was a sham, that this was a process that was biassed against the president, he wasnt getting...

Accommodated. they were not even allowed to be present in many cases for the proceedings that we had here in house. i think the president will get a fair shake in the senate. i think the republican led senate will do a fine job. i think we also need to wait and see what shakes out. >> doesnt bother you the level where the president says i will do what i want to do and it almost seems like hes orchestrating this in the senate. thats how it appear as. >> absolutely not because this whole process i...

Be peeling up with us next week. >> how many do you suspect democrats question marks become my guess is ten give or take a few. my point is they are not unified on this because they know they dont have a case. they know the facts are very weak and they know the process has been flawed. even if you wait donald trump come you got to agree that this process has been flawed. democrats in my district, we dont have a lot but they are nice people too. they have come up to me and said i dont like the pr...

White house has been pushing back and saying if we dont think we will get a fair shake from jerry nadler and nancy pelosi and adam schiff and so would rather do it in the senate where they obviously have a majority of republicans. on the other hand, republicans were in some big points today by pointing out these articles are pretty water down if about it talking about obstruction of congress and abuse of power. more vague allegations rather than bribery which is what adam schiff and others have ...

Congress more than the guy running the committee, who wont let the other side actually have a fair shake at putting on a case? congressman zeldin, the weak articles of impeachment today, to me, arent all that surprising. the democrats have spent the last two months offering this really nebulous, ever shifting series o of explanations for impeachment. lets watch. >> there absolutely was a quid pro quo. >> extortion of a foreign government. >> bribery. >> obstruct. >> innocent people dont intimida...
